The Emperor’s Angel of Death

The Prayer Island, which had just experienced the flames of war, had been completely cleaned up at this time. All traces of battle and death had disappeared without a trace, but the burned forests and grasslands could not recover so quickly. However, Linnae's people still tried their best to decorate the land in various ways, and all of this was to welcome an existence.

Around the huge webway arch, there were dense crowds of restless Linnae citizens, all eager to welcome and witness that existence.

On both sides of the webway exit, the Sea Guards stood in a line, building a wall with shields and spears. Other combat personnel guarded their respective posts, and through the azure sky, many flashing objects could be vaguely seen suspended in the firmament. Those were hovering Phoenix Fighters guarding the high altitude.

For today's occasion, all the men of the Linnae Kingdom put on their best, even ancestral, clothes and robes. The Dragon Knights wore armor and helmets, their eyes shining brightly in the sunlight, while the women wore all kinds of long skirts and, rarely, various decorations and headwear.

Soon, as energy began to overflow from the webway arch, everyone widened their eyes.

Then, a water-like luminous plane began to form, and many vine-like energies slowly stretched out from inside the arch, quickly forming a platform, which quickly spread out into a staircase.

At the same time, all the Eldar present felt an unprecedented life energy.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a crescent-shaped airship, seemingly made purely of vines, petals, and young leaves, slowly slid out of the webway gate, turned its hull, and hovered on the platform.

As it appeared, more gunboats slid out of the webway. One by one, maiden guards holding power spears, wearing short swords around their waists, and wearing ancient-style spirit bone scale armor walked out of the gunboats and quickly formed ranks around the platform and on both sides of the stairs.

After all the maids were in place, the emerald throne slowly descended a ramp. Jain Zar, in jet-black armor, was the first to walk out, she glanced at Sochoyan at the end of the stairs, and then stepped aside.

The second to come down were Dorar's twin daughters, Arohan and Nystra.

Arohan held the Eternal Queen's banner, while her sister Nystra held Veronica's Avalon Heart. After they both came out, it was their mother, the Vine Leaf Oracle Loreena. This female chief of the Eternal Queen's inner court wore a decent and noble robe, draped in a leaf-shaped short cloak, and turned around, bent over, and extended her left hand before even walking down the ramp.

Then, a slender hand rested on Loreena's hand.

In an instant, all the Eldar in the Linnae Kingdom knelt on one knee, seemingly without needing anyone to command them.

When Veronica walked out of the throne, many people truly understood the meaning of the phrase 'the sun and moon lose their light'. She was simply as dazzling as a diamond, still an unshadowed star in this clear sunny day.

The well-proportioned facial features were perfectly distributed on her slightly pointed and fair face. Whether it was her eyes or her bright lips, they gave her a sacred charm as if she had walked out of a painting, and with a heart-warming and gentle smile, she exuded an aura of life even more. Her light golden hair was combed into several buns behind her head, and several golden carved hairpins fixed her hair. Underneath her smooth and silky hair were a pair of pointed ears, with crystal earrings hanging from her soft earlobes.

Further down was her slender and graceful neck, adorned with a net-like necklace woven with silver threads, covered with tiny precious stones. Today, she was wearing a light green, off-the-shoulder formal dress, slightly revealing her collarbones, which were very sexy. Her slender waist was surrounded by a golden belt inlaid with heart-shaped rubies, outlining her waist curve. Under the belt, two white ribbons intertwined, gradually turning into a light green skirt, covering her legs, only revealing a pair of small feet wearing crystal high-heeled sandals. The back half of the skirt dragged on the ground, inlaid with various gems, adding to her luxurious temperament.

As Veronica walked out, a plump orange cat also leisurely strolled out of the throne. If it weren't for its fat body and big belly, its movements should have seemed very elegant.

And following Veronica, besides this fat cat, were also 20 creatures that resembled Serpent Men.

Strictly speaking, their appearance was not much different from Serpent Men, with the same serpentine body and four arms, but the originally gloomy scales had turned into a distinct light gold, with emerald green markings distributed along the center of the back of their bodies. The lower sides and labial scales were yellow, and the ventral surface was white. The armor they wore was also different from their kin in Commorragh. The layered armor cast from spirit bone consisted of a breastplate, shoulder armor, hand armor, skirt armor, and helmet, with a very distinct Eldar style, decorated with knots, jade pendants, bone fragments, and biological hair, and each armor had a symbol of the Eternal Court printed on the chest, and behind it was a back flag, depicting the image of Isha in bright colors.

These Serpent Men had four long knives locked in wooden scabbards hanging on both sides of their waists, and star dart guns could also be seen hanging behind them. Their cold, vertical pupils seemed to be cautiously surveying everything around them.

These were the Serpent Men bodyguards that Dorar brought out of Commorragh, but they were no longer Serpent Men, but called themselves Mohuraga, which was their true name, and only swore allegiance to Veronica.

As for the reason, it was quite complicated to explain in detail, and it also involved the ancient secrets of the Serpent Men clan, which Sochoyan only learned after returning to the Royal Court—

It turned out that Serpent Men themselves were a servant race created by the ancient Eldar Empire. In fact, the Eldar had always longed to reach and even surpass the power of the ancient sages, and they also had a tireless pursuit of creating life. Over tens of millions of years, the ancient Eldar Empire led the creation of a series of biological races, whether successful or failed. Due to the Eldar's own high psychic sensitivity, the life they created also mostly possessed similar psychic sensitivity.

And the Serpent Men were a work from the end of the Eldar Empire, but why a race blueprint was created with some kind of cold-blooded reptile was something the Serpent Men themselves didn't know. Ancient records were also completely lost with the destruction of the Eldar Empire, and even the claim that Serpent Men were Eldar servant races came from Jain Zar, the Phoenix Lord of the Howling Banshees, because she was a member of the former old empire and one of the few Eldar in the galaxy who still knew about the affairs of the old empire.

According to Jain Zar, the Serpent Men may have initially served a certain Eldar noble, but with the outbreak of the Fall of the Eldar, many psychic races created by the Eldar were affected and destroyed, including the Serpent Men and their homeworld as well.

But a group of Serpent Men followed the nobles of the old empire and escaped into the webway city of Commorragh and survived.

However, afterwards, they faced a very severe problem, reproduction.
