The Emperor’s Angel of Death

"天灾 (Tiānzāi - Natural Disaster)."

Soshjan nodded.

". This word is accurate, it is a natural disaster, so which race in the current galaxy, besides humanity, do you think can resist such an enemy on its own?"

Salania blinked her beautiful eyes and cleverly replied:

"Who told the Human Empire to occupy such a large territory? But even with just the Human Empire, it may not be able to withstand it, right?"

"Of course, it's hard to say, but it would be even worse without the Human Empire. Don't forget, in some dark corners of the universe, there are still immortal cockroaches lurking, who have been defeated for tens of millions of years and still want to make waves."

"Your Highness, are you referring to the Necrons?"

"Yes, their former leader, the Silent King, is planning a huge conspiracy, which is no less of a threat than the Tyranids."

"I also feel that in the past hundred years, the activities of the Necrons have become more and more frequent. Pirate groups often encounter the tombs of those awakened Necrons. Some are destroyed if they can be, and if they cannot be destroyed, the power of the Human Empire is guided there. However, as more and more Necron dynasties appear, it becomes increasingly difficult to deal with. I understand what Your Highness means."

At this time, the Corso Flame was gradually approaching its target, the star closest to the Dragon's Nest.

This was a relatively young star, emitting strong and dazzling light. Although filtered through the observation window, looking directly at it was still daunting. At the same time, its surface was constantly erupting with flares, scattering storms of electromagnetic radiation into the universe.

For some reason, Soshjan felt a faint palpitation in his heart as he gazed at this star. He knew what caused it—

Star Gods not only feed on souls, but also on the vast energy of stars.

When it reached a certain distance, the Corso Flame launched a mysterious device, which passed through the high temperature of over six thousand degrees and disappeared into the star.

Seconds later, a magical scene appeared. A silver light began to appear on the surface of the star, becoming increasingly intense, while the Corso Flame began to accelerate, plunging headlong towards the star.

But the moment it came into contact with that silver light, the entire ship disappeared into the universe.

". Who would have thought that the ancestors of the Corso Fleet would hide their main battleships inside a star."

Appearing again, the Corso Flame was already in a huge space, looking like a transparent fish tank, surrounded by plasma gas with tens of millions of degrees, but they were blocked by an invisible barrier. Inside the barrier, dozens of uniquely shaped giant battleships were quietly suspended.

Soshjan recognized most of these battleships, because they also served in the Tears of Heaven Fleet. They were common warship models of the ancient empire, the Devourer Turtle-class, the Incinerator Alligator-class, but without the Celestial Comet Butterfly-class—this type of warship was still in the practical testing stage at that time, and only a small number were equipped in the Eldarnes Fleet.

However, although there were fewer Celestial Comet Butterfly-class ships, the Corso Fleet was larger than the predecessor of the Tears of Heaven Fleet, the Eldarnes Fleet. When the Eldarnes Fleet was first found, it only had 7 main battleships, but looking around here in the Corso Fleet, there were 15 main battleships!

Moreover, its tactical main battleships and non-main battleships were more numerous than the Eldarnes Fleet. It was these warships that laid the foundation for the Void Dragon Pirate Group, but they were consumed in many years of battles—until this time, Soshjan realized that the unique large pirate warship, the Void Hunter, was actually transformed from the tactical main battleships of the ancient empire.

Originally, the Corso Fleet had 53 tactical main battleships when it arrived here, but after many years of battles, due to consumption and continuous removal from the "inventory," only 41 tactical main battleships remained. There were no non-main battleships left, all of which had become warships of the Void Dragon Pirate Group.

And what Soshjan cared about most was naturally the true flagship of the Corso Fleet.

It was like a sleeping butterfly, surrounded by many warships. Although in principle it was the same ship type as the Tal-Anlec, this Netherlight Butterfly was obviously different in appearance from the Tal-Anlec, which reflected a characteristic of Aeldari ships—strong plasticity, and few ships were exactly the same. They often had certain usage preferences or characteristics of the user.

Compared to the gorgeousness and nobility of the Tal-Anlec, this Netherlight Butterfly, whose outer shell was like a ball of burning flames, looked more like a fierce poisonous wasp, making people know at a glance that it was extremely dangerous.

"What is its name?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, it's called Tal-Iris."

Soon, everyone entered the magnificent flagship that had been silent for tens of thousands of years. It not only had differences in appearance from the Tal-Anlec, but also had a very different internal style, with a strong violent and militarized style, especially the huge statues of Khaine visible everywhere, very close to the style of Commorragh.

Perhaps the ultimate transformation of the Corso Fleet into pirates had something to do with their original culture.

But no matter how glorious it once was, it was now deserted. There were no candlelight or psychic glimmer in those dark cabins, only the heavy history still lingered in the empty corridors and aisles.

Many pieces of equipment could still be seen inside the ship, such as fighters, vehicles, and spiritbone constructs—these automatons have now been fully deployed in the Royal Court Fleet to make up for the lack of manpower. In the past, the Craftworld Eldar either used people or used wraith constructs, such as spindle drones. These automatons were almost extinct, which was also a factor limiting their combat effectiveness.

As for the reason, it's quite absurd. According to the Craftworld Eldar's understanding, these automatons are the servants of Vaul. After Vaul's fall, no one except the Vaul priests could control them. If they had to do so, it would cause them to riot.

But the fact proves that these constructs work perfectly, and doesn't Iyanden have a large group of Vaul priests?

It can only be said that many Craftworlds have been completely tied down by tradition and habit, and it's no wonder that so many young people leave their hometowns to wander or become pirates.

Craftworlds have good sides and very bad sides.

After arriving at the magnificent temple-like bridge, Salania used the command sword in her hand to activate the war will of the Tal-Iris. Then, within ten seconds, the entire ship's energy system was fully activated. Twenty seconds later, all equipment entered the operating state. Forty seconds later, all automatons were revived and began to execute their respective work procedures.

After checking the state of the warship, Soshjan nodded and said to Salania:

"The ship's condition is very good. This star dock is very unusual. It will be your new flagship from now on."

But Salania shook her head, then raised the sword in her hands horizontally.

"Your Highness, I heard Kaneli say that you don't have your own flagship yet. The Tal-Iris would be a good choice."
