The Emperor’s Angel of Death

#2595 - Spider in the web

Fabius's words were not flattery, but truly what he felt. The current situation was indeed beyond his expectations. Originally, Veronica had been suppressed by the Evil Gaze Demon Shield, which N'Kari had obtained from Slaanesh's palace specifically to target the Aeldari race, and was unable to exert her original power. The surrounding Aeldari were also affected by the Slaanesh Greater Daemon, and their combat effectiveness had plummeted. On the contrary, the Mohuragas were not affected much. Their exquisite swordsmanship had resisted the onslaught of the New Human warriors, preventing a major disaster.

But if the situation continued, Veronica would still be in danger. As a result, a Spirit Bone Construct suddenly appeared, instantly killing N'Kari, who held the Demon Shield, and even shattering the Demon Shield, directly destroying the entire surprise attack plan.

Mardel withdrew his spear, letting the Greater Daemon's body turn into smoke, and then spoke in a deep voice.

"Spider, this is not a game for you to play. Wouldn't it be better to go back and continue your pipe dream?"

Fabius narrowed his eyes, carefully examining this Aeldari Spirit Bone Construct.

"You are not the kind of Spirit Bone Machine driven by a dead soul. You seem to recognize me? Who are you?"

Mardel let out an emotional laugh.

"Haha, you can find someone to do some divination."

"I don't believe in divination. It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. I'll always find out. Gray Matter is such an interesting thing, how can I not participate? Perhaps this is the key for humans to get rid of those unwarranted hysteria, and also the key for me to create a new world."

"That will shatter you to pieces and you will die completely."

"Do you think I like living without meaning?"

After Fabius finished speaking, he glanced at his surroundings. Only four of his guards remained. The others had died in the conflict with the handmaidens and those strange snake-man guards.

Especially Luvia Grita, who was holding a mirror beside Veronica, burst out with powerful psychic energy even under the suppression of the Slaanesh Greater Daemon, instantly killing more than a dozen New Human warriors.

At this moment, Veronica, who had been fighting against N'Kari and was somewhat exhausted, recovered her spirit and said loudly:

"Fabius, you are still useful to Sochoyan. Surrender, I will not kill this clone of yours."

Fabius smiled slightly and moved his fingers.

The next second, four New Humans burst into beast-like roars and charged forward, then exploded violently as the handmaidens raised their bows and prepared to shoot.

Deadly poisonous fog spread violently, instantly stretching for hundreds of meters, even corroding the ground with a sizzling sound. Mardel raised a shield to block the rapidly spreading poisonous fog, while Veronica raised her hand, and then the air flashed, and the poisonous fog that was spreading suddenly contracted.

At this time, a Gekom anti-gravity motorcycle sped from a distance, and Fabius ran towards it and stretched out his hand.

Just as he was about to grab the anti-gravity motorcycle's hanger, the motorcycle exploded with a bang, directly blowing the former Emperor's Children apothecary a dozen meters away, and he rolled several times on the ground before stopping.

When he stood up, covered in dirt, a turquoise ball appeared in front of him, less than a fist away from his mouth. He immediately realized that this was highly compressed poisonous gas, followed by Veronica's cold voice.

"If you want me to put this thing directly into your mouth, then continue to play tricks."

Looking at the Eternal Queen's handmaidens raising their bows, and Veronica on the throne coldly watching him, Fabius smiled awkwardly and raised his hands.

"I surrender."

This was also the second time he had surrendered to the Aeldari. Fabius's clone didn't feel any burden in his heart.

Then four Mohuragas rushed over, two restrained his arms and quickly unloaded the hangers on his back, and the other two used sharp blades to strip Fabius's armor and equipment at an extremely fast speed, literally making him naked.

Finally, they put a Spirit Bone collar and Spirit Bone shackles on him, and covered his face with a mask that sealed his eyes, ears, and nose. During this process, Fabius didn't say a word until he was being escorted away, when he said one sentence.

"Please have Sochoyan come and find me as soon as possible."

Veronica's response was also simple.

"Wait until he's free."

After that, it was time to clean up the battlefield. Veronica quickly closed the Webway gate, and tens of thousands of Kabalite Warriors were directly blocked on the Royal Court's side. After most of them were killed, less than ten thousand Black Heart Kabalite Warriors chose to surrender, but unfortunately, the Kabalite Archon Kheradruakh Virrex, seeing that the situation was not good, had already slipped away.

In this way, Vect's carefully planned plan, even contacting the Emperor's Children organization, was completely destroyed, and he also lost a large number of Kabalite Warriors, equipment, and even more than a dozen Bloodbrides, which can be described as a complete loss.

After hearing this, Sochoyan, although he knew that the situation had calmed down and even captured a copy of Fabius, was still very uneasy about the fact that Veronica was threatened. Nothing was more important to him than the safety of his wife and children, but the front line was still fighting, and he couldn't abandon his troops and go back like this. He could only chat with Veronica remotely and tell her that he had also solved the trouble, but he didn't mention the encounter with the mysterious mirror object - he didn't want Veronica to worry about him now.

And Veronica also needed to handle the aftermath of the Royal Court before she could move to the Lyraalsus Kingdom. Although the previous battle was basically a crush, there were still some casualties, plus some facilities were damaged, so she still needed to leave people there to handle it.

After confirming that Veronica was in good condition, Sochoyan turned his attention back to the war in front of him.

With external factors eliminated, now there was only pure harvesting left.

The T'au forces had completely collapsed, but according to reports from all sides, they fought very bravely. Even in this extremely unfavorable situation, they still resisted stubbornly, and unlike humans, who would fall into a certain degree of chaos once the command center or communications were interfered with, the T'au's military structure was very flexible. Whether fighting separately or gathered together, they could quickly organize the most effective combat units.

At the beginning, the Royal Court forces caught the opponent by surprise, resulting in the annihilation of a large number of T'au front-line troops, but as the T'au quickly contracted their forces and adopted a model of large-area personnel grouping and small-area firepower concentration, their defensive capabilities rose sharply. Some rash Aeldari infantry were suppressed by the enemy's superior firepower, and then crushed by a large number of infantry and vehicles. Even the Royal Court's armored forces suffered some damage.

At the most anxious moment of the battle, nearly a million T'au troops formed a dozen very difficult strongholds, which slowed down the Royal Court's offensive. If it weren't for the addition of orbital power, directly using Star Spears to smash the T'au's resistance, Sochoyan would not exaggerate to say that with the Royal Court's existing forces, those T'au troops would not be completely wiped out for a while.

Especially the T'au's battlesuits, even the arrogant Aeldari War Hosts had to admit that these large machines that could fly created no small trouble for the Aeldari front-line troops. Unless tanks and other heavy armor were dispatched, other models of the Royal Court's light vehicles, such as Wasps or motorcycles, were not easy to deal with in a short time, and their firepower was also quite fierce. The fire control system was not particularly powerful, but it could also pose a threat to infantry, especially Howling Banshees or Striking Scorpions, which were the kind of Aspect Warriors who liked to assault.

However, because the sky had been dominated by the Royal Court's Phoenix Warships and Nightwing fighters, as well as Crimson Hunters, the role that these battlesuits could play was still limited. If the T'au could maintain basic air supremacy, the trouble would only be greater.

In any case, this war was ultimately won by the Royal Court and the Aeldari. The T'au's supreme commander and his command post were buried under the bombardment of the lance. All the officers chose to fight to the death, and even the wounded would rather choose to commit suicide with their honor short swords than accept being captured.

But in fact, due to what these T'au had done, the Aeldari had almost no choice to leave any prisoners.
