The Emperor’s Angel of Death

"Has the identity of the invaders been confirmed?"

When Elena, dressed in mourning clothes, appeared in the battle group's magnificent strategic room, everyone's first reaction was to be stunned for a moment, but soon they realized that they had indeed overlooked her.

Under these circumstances, this "Mother of the Legion" did seem to be qualified to become the supreme commander, although the battle group rarely promoted her, every new recruit, after being transformed, would be told one sentence - Lady Elena is likely the only person in the galaxy who has ever seen the Primarch, which gave her extremely high sanctity, but she rarely went out on a daily basis, and everyone's impression of her was only mysterious.

"It's the Fourteenth Legion."

"So it's Mortarion's smelly, unwashed, idiotic sons."

Elena lifted her black veil, revealing a face with a slight contemptuous smile, and then, accompanied by her maid and watched by everyone, walked straight to the command throne that only Sowthjan could usually sit on.

"Now I will arrange the legion's defense deployment. Have you detected the signal source of the 'Endurance'?"

"Report, no! Only the 'Terminus' has been detected."

"Terminus, ha, so it's Typhon, that insidious dog. Only a stupid complainer like Mortarion would have such a 'filial' offspring. Then this operation is likely to be launched by Typhon, probably a revenge."

Saying that, Elena narrowed her eyes and lowered her voice.

"It's all because of... that bitch, she caused it."

But she quickly got rid of her emotions, raised her head, and said loudly:

"Order the star system defense fleet not to attack, all to assemble and stand by at Nais IV!"

"Yes!"

Then she turned around and said to one of the priests:

"Summon the new recruits, open the armory, whether they have received training or not, let them all put on power armor, and order all combat servitors to their positions on the fortifications and ramparts. As for the local defense forces of Nais IV, focus on defending key facilities such as cities, spaceports, and energy hubs. In addition, the air force is ready to take off at any time, and all armored units are to assemble in the area near the battle group monastery."

"Yes!"

With a backbone, the battle group's efficiency was immediately maximized, and orders were issued efficiently. The entire Nais IV also took action, and hundreds of millions of armed forces began to assemble and maneuver. The star system defense forces painstakingly created by Sowthjan began to play a role. These troops, whose standards were much higher than ordinary PDFs, were equipped with a large number of main battle tanks, fighters, and heavy artillery, ready to give the enemies invading their homeland a head-on blow.

"Activate all star system defense weapons. I have a feeling that the enemy may not just be this wave... Send an astropathic signal to Ulan Hudda, we need the support of the Adeptus Mechanicus fleet."

In a series of arrangements, the Fourteenth Legion's fleet broke into the star system, and then they were greeted by fierce counter-fire.

Watching the lines of bright red battle results flash across the huge screen, Elena was not as excited as the servants, because she felt a crisis.

Soon—

"Communication systems are experiencing abnormal chaos!"

"G2 defense area has failed!"

"D1 communication module has failed!"

"What is this sound!"

Suddenly, an operator raised his head sharply, his eyes melted, and a swarm of flies spewed out of his open mouth. At the same time, the cogitator he was responsible for also underwent strange changes, seeming to grow flesh and blood, the buttons turning into eyeballs, and the cables turning into wriggling tentacles, which immediately scared the nearby people out of their wits.

"Don't panic!"

In the cold, sharp shout, a tarot card flew over, depicting a goddess with three faces, like a scythe, instantly cutting off the head of the corrupted operator, turning him into a pile of ashes, and then nailing it to the cogitator, restoring it to its original appearance.

Elena was surrounded by a black halo at this moment, and then with a wave of her hand, tarot cards depicting unique female paintings rose into the air, covering the entire strategic room.

"Just some scrapcode..."

At this moment, a piercing signal sounded.

"Ships with friendly identification codes are entering orbit... It's the 'Avesta'!"

Looking at the huge flagship suddenly appearing in orbit, Elena nodded.

"Finally arrived, connect to private communication."

"Mistress!"

Mu Hu's childish voice rang in Elena's ear through the communicator, and she immediately told him.

"Let the Thousand Minds come down and teleport directly to the battle group monastery using the teleportation room."

"Yes! You go down now!"

After a while, the Thousand Minds walked into the strategic room by itself. Elena glanced at it and said one sentence.

"Get rid of the scrapcode, then coordinate the star system defense facilities, I'm going to command the naval battle."

The Thousand Minds didn't say anything, walked to a cogitator, and then metal tentacles stretched out. Elena then turned and walked towards the teleportation room, but before leaving, she saw Rozim hurrying over and immediately stopped him.

"Rozim, you go to the strategic room and take command in my place."

"Ah?"

Rozim, who was about to go find Sissna, pointed at his nose with a surprised look.

"Me?"

"Yes, you, hurry up, I've already asked someone to look for your sweetheart, and they'll bring her back soon."

Since she said so, Rozim could only run to the strategic room all the way, while Elena used the teleportation room to quickly transfer to the 'Avesta' in orbit.

Back on the familiar secondary command throne, Elena glanced at the huge empty throne, and then lightly opened her lips, letting the lonely voice ring out in the empty bridge.

"Mu Hu, activate all systems, build a command chain, we're going to the battlefield again."

"Okay, Mistress, five seconds! Done!"

Soon, the 'Avesta' completed the construction of the command chain with all the warships gathered on Nais IV. Although the ships defending the star system were small and weak and had no warp drive capabilities, there were still six or seven hundred of them.

"Let me see what tricks the putrid bugs of the Fourteenth Legion have."

Elena swiped a few times on the rising command panel and formulated a counterattack plan, and then the 'Avesta' activated its phase jump function, taking the lead in rushing towards the Fourteenth Legion's fleet.

As soon as it entered realspace, Elena immediately ordered to fire, first blowing up one of the enemy's cruisers.

The sudden appearance of the Gloriana-class ship caught Typhus off guard, but seeing that the opponent only had one ship, he immediately turned to anger and greed, and came up with a plan to seize the ship.

So the entire Fourteenth Legion's fleet rushed towards the 'Avesta' like crazy, while the Plague Fourth Company still proceeded towards Nais V according to the original plan.

However, before the Plague Fourth Company's fleet approached the planet, it was bombarded by overwhelming laser and plasma fire. As a heavily defended planet, the star system defense facilities around Nais V were extremely dense. Sowthjan's requirement was "the firepower standard of 10 battleships", and the most powerful ship of the Plague Fourth Company was only a battle barge.
