Chapter 214: The Change of Modian

In the Primarch Palace, John, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly sprang up and locked eyes with the black wolf.

The "Monster" trembled all over, instinctively sensing that the black wolf was dangerous.

The black wolf had grown accustomed to being in the "Kingdom of Disorder"; suddenly returning to the real world and appearing on a Void Ship felt like a lifetime ago.

While he was dazed, he suddenly sensed hostility.

The black wolf glanced at the brain-strong cat, knowing it was Ninglu's pet.

【No, he is Ninglu's pet, and so am I.

No, I am different from him.】

The black wolf stepped forward, circled Ninglu twice, held his head high, and said haughtily.

"Listen to me from now on."

"Sigh..." The black wolf sighed in a human-like manner, "You cannot understand what I am saying, nor can you answer; this is what we..."

John watched the black wolf vigilantly, struggling to suppress the fear caused by his ultra-high Spirituality.

"I can understand the meaning of your words, but I arrived before you."

The black wolf was taken aback and looked at the brain-strong cat in astonishment.

A few seconds later, he said.

"You are also..."

The black wolf did not know how to refer to their kind of creature; in his long life, he had encountered other creatures similar to himself.

But every time they met, they would cautiously clash before tacitly avoiding one another.

After staring at the brain-strong cat for a while, the black wolf spoke.

"No, you and I are still different."

Ninglu watched the interactions, such as John's fear and the black wolf's arrogance, and could not help but curl his lips.

He reached out a large hand and patted the black wolf's thick fur.

"Do you have a name?"

"I..." The black wolf held his head high, "My believers used to call me the Wolf God."

"Wolf God..."

The image of Horus appeared in Ninglu's mind, and the arc of his lips became more pronounced.

"I know another bald man called the Wolf God; you had better change your name."

Thinking of how the black wolf liked to pull people into nightmares, he said.

"Freddy, you shall be called Freddy."

"Freddy..."

The black wolf's tone was deep.

Ninglu paid no further attention to the power struggle between Freddy and John; the outcome was already destined, as the black wolf was an Incomplete Mythical Creature, far beyond what a Transcendental Creature could compare to.

The next day, the Primarch was handling official business in his office when a Primarch Attendant walked in.

"My Lord, the Third Legion has arrived; Second Company Captain Mikhailovsky and Third Company Captain Geleigori request an audience."

"Let them in."

A moment later, two black-armored Warriors with deep black crescent moons painted on their right shoulder guards walked in and bowed in salute.

"Father."

"No need for formalities."

Ninglu scanned the items they held in their hands; he noticed a disc-shaped flower inside a crystal in Mikhailovsky's hand.

It was like a blooming sun, its edges wavy like golden waves.

Ninglu saw the flower shining with a spiritual luster.

【It is the Golden-Edged Sunflower; now the "Singer" Potion ingredients are complete.】

The two Company Captains felt Ninglu's gaze, and Mikhailovsky spoke.

"Father, what I hold is the Golden-Edged Sunflower."

"Modian is half eternal night and half eternal day; neither environment is suitable for plant growth, but this flower grows on the eternal day side, which is very peculiar."

"Very interesting, this is the peculiarity of life," Ninglu asked with a smile, "How many are there?"

"We brought one thousand and twenty-three, along with other rare items, which have already been sent to your treasury."

"Very good."

Ninglu nodded with satisfaction; he had already decided that the Second Chapter, where Weiershier was located, would focus on developing Transcendentalists of the "Sun" pathway.

The purification abilities they possessed were best suited for countering Chaos.

He had already selected one hundred and fifty-four individuals from the Honor Guard through observation; the Golden-Edged Sunflowers were enough for now.

Ninglu then asked: "How is the Third Legion doing?"

Mikhailovsky presented the Golden-Edged Sunflower and, having received the Gene-Father's approval, left the opportunity to report to his friend.

Geleigori spoke: "Father, the Chapter has completely taken control of Modian."

"After the Dark Lord grasped the situation on Modian, he discovered that the suicide rate of the Modian people far exceeds the Imperium average; there are two natural factors for this."

"On one hand, it is because the Modian people live in eternal darkness; on the other, the Planet lacks a Coriolis effect due to the lack of rotation, which prevents the formation of any strong winds, thus the atmosphere is thick and dark."

"Those who do not commit suicide become gloomy in temperament and fearless of death; Lord Bukayo decided to preserve the heroic qualities of the Modian people while eliminating their suicidal tendencies."

Ninglu nodded slightly; he knew that apart from Nostramo, where Kurz landed, Modian was the world with the highest suicide rate.

Once the Great Birthday ended and Nostramo was destroyed, Modian would be the Planet with the most suicides in the Imperium.

This was not an achievement worth being proud of; it was a good thing that Bukayo could change the suicidal tendencies of the Modian people.

The "Modian Iron Guard" wearing colorful uniforms was precisely a rebellion against that oppression.

"Very good, how is the progress?"

"My lord, the Modian people have a high tendency toward suicide, and there is another factor."

"Hundreds of millions of Modians live on land only one-tenth the size of Terra, and the scarce resources are controlled by the Four Kings; the populace has always lived in hardship, suppressed entirely by armed force."

In Ninglu's memory, after Modian returned to the Imperium, the situation of a high suicide rate had never changed at all.

The Four Kings transformed into the Regent Kings, strictly controlling and rationing the scarce resources on the Planet, which naturally bred dissatisfaction among the populace.

When the "Modian Iron Guard" were not deployed to a war zone, their primary work was carrying out autocratic suppression.

"Lord, starting from here, the food shipped from the Cradle of the Sea has allowed the Modian people to enjoy a happiness they had never experienced before."

"The Modian people now support the new order from the bottom of their hearts, praising your name and the name of the Lord."

"According to statistics, the suicide rate of the Modian people has dropped from 1.44 per thousand to 5.2 per ten thousand."

Ninglu nodded with satisfaction, "Well done."

"How is the status of the Legion and the Auxilia?"

"The quality of Modian soldiers is very good; there are a total of 18,453 Candidates who passed the initial selection, and they are currently undergoing follow-up training and screening."

"There are 7,913 Auxilia who passed the selection training, reorganized into three regiments; this time, they have all come with us to the Wheel of Fire System."

Upon hearing that the Modian Auxilia had already taken shape, Ninglu decided to name them after their future designation.

"The Modian Auxilia shall be called the 'Modian Iron Guard'."

"Father, this name is very fitting for the Modian people."

After listening to the briefing, Ninglu felt satisfied with the development status of Modian.

He also believed that Bukayo could reshape the order of Modian and integrate the essence of its culture into the Third Legion.

"Strategic map."

Arsena operated the Control Staff, displaying the Wheel of Fire System and highlighting the holographic image of Planet No. 2.

"The five Orc Fortresses on Planet No. 2 are your touchstone."

"Father, we will certainly not let you down."

The two Company Captains replied in unison; after they left, Ninglu began to summon members of the Honor Guard to cultivate the guards who had passed the tests into extraordinary beings.

Ninglu spoke with the new Royal Court Members one by one.

Two days later, the last person he met was Weiershier.

After Weiershier drank the Golden Potion, he gathered his scattered power under the guidance of the Gene-Father.

Ninglu looked at the "Singer" and spoke.

"Make good use of the power I have bestowed upon you to inspire the other Order Shadows."

In Ninglu's mind, the most suitable position for Weiershier was Chaplain, but Lorgar Aurelian had not yet returned, and the duty of Chaplain had not yet entered the various Legions.

He did not act as the first to stand out by establishing the position of Chaplain; it was better to go with the flow of the situation.

Weiershier said, brimming with confidence: "Father, I will certainly not let you down."

At the same moment Weiershier returned to the Second Legion, the Third Legion also completed their landing.

The heavy Transport Ship crushed the broken bunkers to pieces, spewing out armored vehicles improved for siege warfare.

The troop transport ships landed slowly, and groups of Order Shadows and "Modian Iron Guard" stepped onto the land of Planet No. 2.

While Stormbirds and bombers conducted air strikes on the Orc Fortresses, Mikhailovsky inspected the defensive layout of the Orc Fortresses.
