The Emperor’s Angel of Death

When he learned that the Bone Dynasty actually possessed Tomb Ships, even Sosiun was surprised. In previous battles, he hadn't mobilized the Bone Dynasty's fleet, so he wasn't clear about their true strength. When these ships flew out from the space inside the planet, he immediately realized that his previous judgment was wrong.

He had always thought that given the Bone Dynasty's situation, even if they had ships, they would only be a small number of small vessels. But in fact, they had an extremely large ghost fleet.

This included not only the Tomb Ships they called Cairns-class, but also a large number of Harvest Ships, Attack Ships, and every kind of Necron ship imaginable. And the most amazing thing was that almost none of the symbols on these ships were the same. The 49 warships contained symbols from more than 20 different dynasties, including even ships from the Oroskh Dynasty.

This phenomenon was too strange. Sosiun specifically asked Valgul what was going on, but the Bone Lord, whether because his brain was damaged during the transformation or for some other reason, told Sosiun that he didn't know either. Since he had ruled this world, these unmanned ghost ships had always been there. As for whether these ships sailed here on their own, or were pushed here by the turbulence in the universe, it was impossible to know, because their crew had disappeared. Subsequently, the Bone Dynasty's unique aberrant engineers took over the warships. These Flayers, who were originally Tomb Technicians, still possessed the most basic consciousness under Valgul's influence, especially when manipulating machinery, they could even achieve an unusual fanatical focus.

Although the situation was eerily unsettling, 49 warships were still an encouraging force. It should be known that in the last battle with the Rysahkan Dynasty, even with the Legion's fleet and the Eldar fleet tied together, they barely managed a draw, and at that time, the Rysahkan Dynasty only had 35 warships. So these 49, even if their power was slightly weaker because they were controlled by Flayers, were still extremely terrifying.

After merging with the tens of thousands of reinforcements sent by the Oroskh Dynasty, the ghost fleet, with the Tomb Ship Acropolis as its core, passed through the Dolmen Gate in a mighty manner, and rushed towards the Phantom Legion's lair at an extremely fast speed—as for why this flagship was called Acropolis, Valgul himself couldn't answer, only vaguely saying that the name had always been in his mind.

Sosiun also asked the crowned general who led the Oroskh Dynasty's Flayer army why their dynasty's Harvest Ships appeared in the Bone Fleet, but the other party also knew nothing, as if this was an unsolved case.

For some reason, Sosiun always felt that the Flayers' affairs were not that simple. Could there be any connection between the dead Star God Flayer and the Warp?

But he couldn't figure out this kind of thing by thinking about it out of thin air, so he could only focus on the present.

It must be said that commanding the Necron fleet to fight is almost a pleasure. When he came into contact with the command sphere of the Tomb Ship, the entire fleet was like a model placed in front of him. He only needed a thought, and a warship could immediately come to the predetermined position. There was no need to consider any command or deployment. He could do whatever he wanted, and every warship was a chess piece that could be moved at will.

They were so swift, so powerful, that after approaching Cinderhales, they tore apart the opponent's defenses in the blink of an eye, and then began to slaughter the enemy's warships.

At this time, Sosiun finally knew where his sense of powerlessness in the Ekwerian Sea battle came from.

Fast, accurate, and ruthless, the Necron warships almost raised these three indicators to the limit. In his eyes, those Chaos warships were like slow motion in stop-motion animation. He only needed to reach out and tap lightly, and a warship would disintegrate under the bombardment of Gauss rays and particle whips. The whole process took less than three seconds.

"Don't let one go."

Sosiun conveyed his thoughts to every Harvest Ship and Attack Ship, and then he noticed a warship decorated extremely luxuriously, with an ugly Third Legion symbol engraved on it.

"The Third Legion..."

Watching those Third Legion warships trying to escape this slaughterhouse, Sosiun sneered in his heart.

"...Sure enough, they've joined forces with this mongrel. That's good, that's good, trash is suitable to be dealt with together!"

With a thought, the Acropolis' powerful weapons fired at the largest Third Legion warship. The spreading electric arcs flashed in the dark void, and then the warship's void shields disappeared in a flicker. The particle whips followed closely, tearing open the armor and breaking the keel. A giant ship instantly turned into a pile of floating and rotating steel wreckage.

"And that mongrel's flagship!"

Sosiun's next target was the Phantom Legion's flagship, the Auspicious Hero. This powerful battleship did not escape, but instead tried to form a circle of resistance with the surrounding warships. The Despoiler-class battleship's powerful lances and long-range cannons created a barrage in the void, and even damaged a Harvest Ship.

But suddenly, a powerful energy spread out from the Acropolis. The Acropolis activated its stellar pulse generator, and the powerful energy swept across the entire orbit. A large number of ships directly crashed and stalled, and even that magnificent flagship dimmed down.

"Die."

With a light thought, dozens of firepowers tore the battleship to pieces.

Realizing that the enemy's fleet was no longer a threat, Sosiun retracted his gaze and looked at Valgul, who was already impatient.

"My army, reap! There is only one requirement, on this planet, not a single living person!"

"As you command! My lord!"

"Servants! Defend the manor! The Masters will be here soon!"

For the chieftains, the closer they were to the city of Euronihil, the more it represented their status and strength. Therefore, the land surrounding the city of Euronihil was ruled by eighteen chieftain families, who were also known as the Eighteen Houses of the Sanctuary. Each family was a great lord with nearly a million followers and slaves, and even a large number of vassal small families, which could be called a hegemon.

The Maizhi family was one of them. Although it evolved from the local forces of the planet, the family had provided more than a dozen excellent recruits to the Phantom Legion, and had a deep connection with the city of Euronihil. The core of its territory was an extremely prominent and glorious castle, built on hills surrounded by mountains and rivers, which could accommodate 100,000 people, and raised an elite army of more than 50,000 people, and could mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops at any time. However, the power of the eighteen families had reached a balance in the long-term friction, and at most, they would carry out some proxy wars.

However, today, a terrible disaster swept across the originally inviolable Sanctuary.
