The Emperor’s Angel of Death

“. Those who surrender will be spared.”

As Sotha's words fell, the Kabalite Warriors and traitorous pirates, one after another, knelt in silence, raising their weapons.

Faced with a true god of humanity, especially the War God Kaela Mensha Khaine, their hearts had been crushed, and they could no longer muster even a trace of resistance.

However, their willingness to surrender did not guarantee acceptance.

"You Ur-Ghul-born bastards!"

A pirate baron, who had lost many comrades and subordinates, as well as an eye, angrily raised his blade and cut down a Kabalite Warrior from behind.

"Did you think it would end just like that! Die!"

After cutting down one, he turned to another, a hedonite, who immediately stood up, gripped his weapon, and resisted. This action caused many Kabalite Warriors and traitorous pirates, who had already knelt to surrender, to waver. Many stood up again, cautiously gathering together.

And those victorious pirates did not intend to let them go either, and the atmosphere instantly became extremely tense.

One of the Kabalite ringleaders shouted:

"Is the Phoenix Lord breaking his word!?"

Sotha, who had returned to his human form, watched all of this and finally let out a low guttural sound.

"Enough! I said, those who surrender will be spared! I don't want to repeat it a third time!"

The next moment, a Phoenix Guard appeared in front of the enraged pirate baron, directly pushing him away.

"Obey the Lord's command!"

The pirate glared with his remaining eye, his face covered in blood, appearing extremely ferocious. He was not afraid of the Guard's pressure, but instead hissed:

"I am not a subject of the Eternal Court, why should I listen to you! What I want to do now is revenge! I won't let a Commorrite bastard live!"

Without another word, the Guard raised his guardian spear, preparing to take him down, but Sotha's voice suddenly rang out.

"Those who surrender will be spared, but they will not be absolved of their crimes. I promise you, I will give you a satisfactory outcome, can I?"

The Guard immediately put away his weapon and stepped aside. Sotha, wearing a golden mask, stepped forward and looked down at the pirate baron who still had not lowered his weapon.

"You are seriously injured, go get treatment."

As he spoke, he reached out and gently pinched the other's weapon, as if picking up a piece of paper, and then threw it on the ground.

"The battle is over."

The pirate baron staggered twice, and finally fell backward, but before he hit the ground, someone caught him.

"Take the time to treat the wounded, including the seriously injured and the dying."

After speaking, he walked to Kanelli and Salania, who had already stood up, and then said lightly.

"Are you not injured?"

Kanelli squeezed out a somewhat forced smile.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness, I'm just a little dizzy, I should be fine."

Sotha then turned his gaze to Salania, who was carefully examining him.

"Princess Salania, try to send the wounded to the court for treatment, especially those who are dying. Demons can easily invade weak souls, and it is difficult to detect without careful examination."

Salania was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for coming to the rescue."

As she spoke, she slowly turned around, looked at the messy hall, and the corpses scattered among the ruins. Suddenly, two lines of clear tears slid from the corners of her eyes.

"Father... I'm sorry, I didn't... I didn't keep everyone united... The Void Dragon in my hands has already been destroyed, destroyed."

She choked as she walked to some of the broken corpses and slowly knelt on the ground. These Kurnathi had fallen into the demon's encirclement to save her. Only three of the seventeen survived. They were all people she had known since she was a child.

Now, they have all become incomplete corpses.

"It was me who harmed... everyone, harmed... everyone."

She wept as she reached out to collect the soul stones on the blood-stained armor. Some of the intact ones were emitting a faint glow, while others had been destroyed, turning into dull rubble.

"Whether it's wanderers or pirates, they all choose the path of escape, but in the past ten thousand years, how many Aeldari have truly escaped?"

Sotha's calm voice rang out behind her.

"You should also know my other identity. I am a straightforward person and will not speak in roundabout ways like most Aeldari. The only way to truly resolve the current predicament of the Aeldari is to counterattack, a real counterattack. Many Aeldari have begun to do similar things, not just the Eternal Court... It's been ten thousand years, and the Corsair fleet should also restore its original identity, don't you think? Star-Marshal Salania."

Salania turned around, her face still stained with tears, and looked up at Sotha in surprise, only to find that he had taken off his mask, revealing his human face, and in his outstretched hand was a pile of glowing soul stones.

"Your Highness, you..."

"People will always grow. Remember this setback, your subordinates and relatives will still need to rely on your leadership in the future."

At this time, the Void Dreamer Simōn also woke up from her previous coma, and with the support of a companion, she walked over weakly.

"Princess."

Salania walked over and took her hand.

"Simōn, it's so good that you're okay."

"I heard many painful voices..."

Simōn's gaze swept across the battlefield, and she said with heartache:

"Many compatriots were thrown into His hungry mouth, but I was powerless..."

Then she looked at Sotha, surprised by his human face, stunned for a second, and then immediately bowed in salute.

"Greetings, Phoenix Lord."

Sotha was used to this kind of reaction, he just nodded and lowered his palm.

"I took these back from the Keeper of Secrets, and some Guards are still collecting them, but I still suggest handing these soul stones over to more professional soul binders for inspection, in case any of them are contaminated. My courtier Mardel is very good at this, I suggest letting him handle it."

Simōn looked at the soul stones in Sotha's hands in surprise. She couldn't imagine what it would be like to take soul stones back from a demon's mouth.

Salania then said softly on behalf of Simōn:

"Everything is up to Your Highness."

"Princess!"

An urgent voice came from a distance, and then the pirate baron Tai'honin rushed over and delivered a message.

"Some people want to leave, and they want to take their ships with them..."

Salania didn't say anything, just looked at Sotha, who just said calmly.

"Forced melons are not sweet, let them go."

At this time, the space battle also came to a conclusion. Unsurprisingly, the Commorrite fleet suffered a crushing defeat. Nearly four hundred ships of all sizes were sunk, and four super battleships were captured, as well as nearly seventy ships of various types, most of which were Black Heart Kabal ships. The other Kabals began planning to evacuate when things changed. The court was also very "cooperative" in chasing down the Black Heart Kabal, and finally the two archons escaped with only a few dozen warships left.

But as early as when the two sides were in the heat of battle, another force quietly appeared on the battlefield.
