Warhammer: In the Name of Nirvana

[To: Luthor Knight

It has been almost a Terran Standard month since we last communicated. I wonder if everything is going well on your end, but everything is fine on my end.

The forging world Shana has now completely become the center of operations connecting the Maelstrom area and the northeastern part of the galaxy. Every day, different expedition fleets can be seen casting huge shadows on the forges and factories here, as if there has never been daylight in this world. Same.

Of course, the weather in the Forge World itself is terrible. I once traveled to the surface of Shana, which was covered with copper-colored deserts and ruins. Vicious hurricanes tortured the ground endlessly, even the slightest breath was The smell of oil fumes and exhaust fumes filled his mouth. Most of them were poisonous. The air in the desert could poison an ordinary person to death within ten seconds.

Only in the hive city filled with factories can there be filtered [safe] air, but it is still full of the smell of sulfur and soot.

However, the industrial hive itself is not a good place for people to admire. It is full of gears, pipes and cables. Many places have not been cleaned for a long time. I can’t describe their smell. In those unimportant streets and sewers Inside, there are corpses that have turned into white bones. People from the Mechanicus say that they are all those who have failed in struggles and experiments, [people who are not favored].

Outside the industrial hives are endless deserts and abandoned city clusters. I have traveled along a main road that runs through the entire world, but all I can see are sporadic airports, fusion reactors and stellar energy collection. In addition to the field, there are temples, hundreds of them, large and small, dedicated to the trinity of mechanical gods, ohm messiahs and source power claimed by the Mechanicum. Listen to the worshipers The explanations are occasionally a good pastime.

Apart from that, there is nothing worth missing in this world. Those bishops and priests devote all their energy to forging, digging and intrigues among themselves. Their fighting is more intense than any court I have ever seen. The plots are more crude and complex.

Oh, right.

In Shana's main nest, I also met a very interesting guy, you would never guess his identity.

A Luna Wolf!

Specifically, it was a group of Luna Wolves, envoys sent by the Sixteenth Legion to the First Legion, taking a short break in the Forge World to replenish supplies.

It's really interesting, isn't it, that their supplies were replenished for several days.

The team is led by a very interesting guy named James, a diplomat who is particularly admirable in both his conversation and his knowledge.

We chatted on the high tower of the hive, the only place where we could barely see the stars as the smoke from the factory cleared. He told me about the history of the Sixteenth Legion Astartes, and also There is their legion's home planet of Cthonia, which is a crueler and more unbearable place than Shana, but also more charming.

My team and his team trekked together in Shana's desert for a few days. When he left, I had a new pen pal. I thought I should share this happiness with you.

But before leaving, he also told me that the battle on the front line was not going well now. The Ran Dan aliens seemed to have gathered forces again. The four expedition fleets deployed by the empire at the front of the front lost contact on the same day, and At the same time, with at least six systems falling on the other side of the battle line, Ran Dan's battle moon appeared again, this time a full four.

The warehouse world that was the frontline supply center also fell in the following days. You should know its fate better than me. There are also several key nodes that are currently in the fiercest competition. It is said that there are at least 5,000 Dark Angels. It was outflanked by Ran Dan, but the empire's fleet broke through the encirclement network again... News like this has been uploaded endlessly in Shana these days.

It has to be said that Ran Dan's vitality and combat effectiveness are indeed more powerful and stubborn than every alien we have ever encountered. A victory like that in the Sabis Galaxy is enough to destroy almost all opponents in the galaxy, but now it is so far away Almost five or six Terran standard months have passed since the battle, and Ran Dan has still not been defeated. They have even recovered and become even more fierce.

The fortress and anti-aircraft firepower on Shana have now been built again, and the world seems to be turning into a front line again. The bishops and priests are quite dissatisfied with this matter, and they can often be heard saying things without scruples. Complaining remarks.

But that has nothing to do with me, because I will soon go to the front line again, maybe not Shana, but somewhere else. Ahriman is receiving instructions now, and he will tell us the next step.

At the same time, here, I also apologize to you once again on behalf of Ahriman. Knight Luther, please forgive him for being unreasonable last time. You have to understand, after all... he is a member of the Thousand Sons Legion.

In short, the war is coming to me again. In most cases, I actually don’t like things about war and bloodshed, but I will not escape. If I am on the front line, I will not be able to keep regular letters with you. I will try my best to contact you and send you some souvenirs. For example, how about Randan Psychic's skull? You can use it as a bowl.

Finally, I wish you always keep the heart of the forest.

Your friend.

Morgan. 】

Luther took the letter and read it over and over again.

In the never-ending work, he rarely showed a relaxed smile.

Especially when his eyes drifted to the end of the letter and looked at the sentence "Heart of the Forest" written by Morgan, his smile was filled with memories and pride. That sentence "Heart of the Forest" was the card he had previously taught Morgan. Apparently Morgan couldn't help but learn the Liban dialect seriously and really remembered it.

He read the letter again, then slowly put it aside, and then looked at another communication.

That comes from Jonson.

This was the first time Jonson had communicated with him since the Sabis Galaxy.

Luther knew what the content of the communication was because he had seen it once before. The old knight of Caliban didn't know whether it was accidental or terrible deliberate. In short, Jonson's communication was a query and one related to Morgan. inquiry.

The Primarch did not directly write down his problem, he just sent a message from Morgan, and the long days of fighting side by side made it easy for Luther to know Jonson's intentions.

Luther was just quiet for a while, and then he picked up a pen and wrote his own evaluation of this mortal woman under Morgan's message.

——————

This person is safe.

——————

Morgan, from the world of 28-13 in the southeastern region of the Maelstrom, is a member of the local ruling family.

The current governor of this world is named Semiramis, who calls herself queen internally. It is reported that she has a distant blood relationship with Morgan. Semiramis pursues espionage politics and palace intrigue in her own country, using poison to He was famous for his extravagance and extravagance, but his rule was extremely solid and he was very active in paying taxes to the empire. He was one of the best imperial governors.

According to our investigation, Morgan is the daughter of the world’s deceased first imperial governor, Maximilian. Her bloodline family has always been known for a special training system: they will hide their children secretly. , change their names and identities, and undergo more than ten years of education and practical training. Only heirs who have passed all tests can obtain royal status and appear in the public eye. It is reported that Morgan is the best since the emergence of this system. product.

She quickly became Maximilian's right-hand man after her [debut]. This king, who had always used diplomatic threats as a means of profit, rarely used military force on a large scale, constantly provoking annexation wars with neighboring countries. After the empire's fleet officially Before arriving, Maximilian had unified most of the world, and was the first to surrender to the empire, becoming the first governor, and intimidating all other kings to surrender at the governor's inauguration ceremony.

However, Morgan joined the expedition fleet of the Thousand Sons Legion after the inauguration ceremony. The specific reason is unknown. According to our investigation in this world, it is most likely because her ongoing conflict with Maximilian has not been resolved well. The resolution led to this exodus.

Maximilian was assassinated soon after, and the world soon fell into a civil war for power. However, several of his most capable and powerful brothers died together in the ensuing war of brothers, especially the most powerful ones. The two dukes finally died in their duel with each other.

Then, in accordance with the laws of succession of that world, the second Semiramis to emerge from training became the ruler of that world and inherited the title of Imperial Governor.

Nemir's report goes something like this.

At the end of this report, he explained with some bitterness: Because the so-called royal training will completely destroy every participant's information, and the participating characters will also have their memories completely erased, so they really haven't found anything about it. More information from Morgan.

But Zhuang Sen no longer cares about this.

He flipped through the information casually, as if waiting for something.

After a while, he waited.

That was Luther's reply.

Zhuang Sen took a look, and then the last thoughts in his heart were settled.

[Nemir. 】

"My lord."

[Take her to the Indomitable Truth. 】

——————

Thousands of miles away, at a distance that even the most elusive words cannot describe, an old man's eyes were shaking unnaturally.

Then, he stood up and opened his eyes uneasily, thinking about something.

After a moment, he waved his hand, and the invisible wave tore apart the latitudes of the world and the galaxy, opening a path that was enough to transmit sound across the distance of countless star sectors.

Then, he waited quietly.

After about a cup of tea, a somewhat vague voice came from the other end of the passage.

【...Makado...what's going on? 】

"My lord."

Despite being separated by thousands of stars, the Emperor's bearer still saluted respectfully.

"Excuse me for disturbing you, how far has your expedition progressed?"

[...(Indistinct sound)...I am ordering my fleet to go to Chogolis. The fleet and the world nearby are singing the story of an incredible Khan. I think...I have found another heir. 】

"That's good news indeed."

Machado nodded.

[Yes... good news... Later, I am going to take Horus and Zhuang Sen to Moro. It is better to have it in my hands... Otherwise, I won't worry. 】

[So...what's going on...Makado. 】

"There is indeed one thing, my lord."

The palm-printer bit his lips, which had become extremely dry, and thought about how to tell the story.

"I just had a precognition, you know, just like before, but this time, it worked."

"I saw a Primarch."

[The original body...my...which son? 】

"It's your daughter."

There seemed to be silence at the other end of the passage.

[You mean...that failure? 】

"Yes, Morgan, it's about her."

[Is she awake yet? 】

"In fact, she may have been walking in the world for some time. Of course, this is my personal speculation and cannot be used as a basis for reality."

[That... doesn't matter. 】

【As long as I want...I can look at her. 】

[So, what did you see? 】

The palmer sighed softly.

"I saw the chess game, my lord, the chess game that you and I have played for countless rounds. The chess pieces are gradually returning to the chessboard from every corner of the galaxy, and the curtain is opening little by little."

"But just when we were fighting, pulling, and intrigues to the end, a hand suddenly reached into the chess game. I couldn't be sure whether it was a hand that suddenly reached out or a certain chess piece on the chess board. I finally have my own will.”

"But there's no question that it disrupted everything."

【……】

The emperor was quiet for a while before speaking again.

[So...you are worried...it will be Morgan...]

"Because the chess pieces in our hands just seem to have some problems, but they are not harmful."

The one holding the seal lowered his head and continued to sigh slightly.

"Although we are making choices, making choices is always an extremely difficult thing, not to mention that now, there may be another unstable factor. I saw silver hair near that hand, And my instinct was telling me she knew something.”

"She's not ignorant."

The palm bearer felt worried about his own thoughts, but he only heard laughter from the other end of the passage.

【...She...of course knows. 】

"...my lord?"

[Don’t worry...Makado...she knows...]

[This is what I allow. 】

[Every scene she saw was allowed by me. 】
