The Emperor’s Angel of Death

Jona's question could be said to be very sharp, even close to a rebuke. After a moment of silence, Arcturus replied in a low voice:

"I don't know, but the future is full of risks and opportunities. From the anomalies in the Eye of Terror to the rise of the Eternal Court, and even the large-scale invasion of the Tyranid, all herald one thing: the galaxy is about to undergo a drastic change. Continuing to stick to the rules, the empire is like a leaky ship, and it may not survive this tsunami. We are the navigators in the mist, and we must open up a new path for the empire no matter what. From a rational analysis, it is not beneficial for the Eternal Court to be hostile to the empire. Of course, I admit there will be some small tricks, just like we will have defenses, but it won't affect the overall situation."

But he didn't seem to want to explain too much on this topic, and instead turned to another person and said:

"Kunsar, since you have been chasing this person, then this matter will be handed over to you. As for the Ultramarines... first contact the Astropath department of Macragge, using the recently active Tyranid as a reason, but don't alarm Calgar. I don't want that person, who may be the Phoenix Lord, to think that we are testing his identity, which may cause fatal trouble to our plan."

"Yes, I will set off as soon as possible."

"Let's leave here first, we'll talk about the rest on the ship."

Not long after the Inquisitors' transport plane took off and left this world, accompanied by the ripples of the air, Solzhenitsyn, with his hands behind his back, strode out of thin air, followed by Star Disaster, Dorlar, Ivarhan, Duran and others.

"Interesting."

At this time, Solzhenitsyn had a meaningful expression on his face, and then turned to Dorlar and said:

"Lord Dorlar, a mixed-blood, have you heard of it?"

Dorlar shook his head.

"Never heard of it before meeting Your Highness."

Solzhenitsyn then looked at Star Disaster.

"Lord Star Disaster, have you heard of this person?"

"Never heard of it. The Maelstrom is an area that the Craftworlds avoid. Even the most curious Aleatok Rangers rarely set foot there."

After thinking for a moment, Solzhenitsyn, with his arms crossed, muttered to himself in a low voice:

"It is absolutely impossible for Eldar to be mixed with humans under normal circumstances. As far as I know, there are only two possibilities: either his parents have been there, or he is also a descendant of the Aleksey family."

The first possibility can be ruled out. Solzhenitsyn knows better than anyone how difficult it is to go to that place. Unless you have the power of a god, you will never find it or enter it.

That leaves only the second one.

Logically speaking, the Aleksey family should not have illegitimate children or collateral lines, but things are not absolute, because Solzhenitsyn thought of one person.

Orod!

This person is said to be naturally romantic, who knows how many lovers and partners he has, and it seems that he doesn't discriminate in his tastes.

It's not very strange that Orod really has blood left outside. It would be strange if he didn't.

"Your Highness, do you need to send someone to..."

Solzhenitsyn waved his hand, interrupting Dorlar's words.

"No need, and it may cause a reaction from the Ultramarines. I have a better way. Just ask an old friend from Terra for help, and send him some gifts by the way."

Then he raised his head.

"This Arcturus is a bit interesting. If he can really handle things well, I might consider meeting him... By the way, have they already set off?"

Dorlar responded softly:

"Returning to Your Highness, they have already set off."

Solzhenitsyn sighed softly.

"Hopefully... he will be safe along the way."

"Your Highness, I have a question."

"What is it?"

"Why let that mechanical being go with them? I remember Your Highness said that it seemed very important?"

Solzhenitsyn grinned and replied:

"Since it is the meaning of the Venerable Ananda, there should be no problem."

Then he took a few steps forward, glanced at the distant scenery, and sighed deeply.

"What a good world, it's a pity to be desolate like this. As an exile site, let those unruly Commorrites come to develop it, and use the power of the world spirit to temper the murderous aura and戾qi on them. Has the world spirit been awakened?"

Star Disaster nodded slightly.

"It has been awakened, and it is now shrouding the entire world."

As he said that, he pointed to the sky, and Solzhenitsyn looked up and found that there seemed to be a fierce giant dragon soaring in the clouds.

"Is it the Dragon Soul..."

The world spirits of the ancient Eldar Empire are divided into many types, and the incarnations they simulate represent their character and function. The Dragon Soul is a relatively rare type. The barbaric Eldar in this world will be very warlike, and can cultivate very combat-effective dragons.

"...Will it be counterproductive for those exiles?"

Star Disaster replied softly:

"Your Highness, rest assured, the Dragon Soul represents glory and authority, not bloodlust and murder."

"That's good, what's its name?"

"Returning to Your Highness, it's called Muduri."

Nodding, Solzhenitsyn turned around and sat on a collapsed statue in a very rough posture.

"Now that everyone is here, let's discuss some things. In this Dragon Nest battle, the Royal Court can be said to have won a great victory. Although it was not able to obtain an entire Void Dragon pirate fleet, it has more ancient capital ships. Now the Royal Court's naval power has completely overwhelmed the Black Heart Cabal. The next step is the final military plan for Commorragh, but I know this matter is not as easy as it seems, so I want to hear your opinions."

As Privy Councilor, Ivarhan spoke first.

"Your Highness, although a large number of fleets have been newly obtained, most of them are pirates and still need to be integrated with the Royal Court's naval tactics. In addition, the capital ships of the Corso fleet also need to be supplemented with a large number of new crew members. According to Your Highness's instructions to prioritize the development of fighter groups, a large number of pilots also need to be recruited, but the current personnel shortage is very large, almost 80,000 people..."

Developing large fighter groups has been Solzhenitsyn's idea for a long time, because compared to warships, Eldar's fighter performance and pilot quality are more overwhelming to other races, that is, the Necrons can compete. In this case, aircraft carrier tactics are actually very suitable for Eldar. Using ultra-high-quality fighter groups to defeat the opponent before they even discover themselves can form an asymmetric war advantage, and the characteristics of Eldar ships are highly consistent with this advantage: high speed, high mobility, and stealth and interference capabilities.

Especially the Comet Butterfly-class aircraft carrier, its attack range is even more amazing. It can use teleportation technology to send fighters millions of kilometers away, coupled with ultra-high-quality Ice Phoenix heavy attack aircraft, Comet stealth interceptors, and Moon Dragon fighters, which can quickly extinguish a huge fleet.

Compared to close-range adventurous gun battles, this is the tactic that can best exert its advantages. After all, Eldar ships are not characterized by sturdiness. No matter how great the technical advantage is, once dragged into medium and close-range shelling, accidents are always difficult to avoid.

However, to develop aircraft carrier tactics, one must face a problem that Eldar is difficult to solve: population.

Although the pilots of the Comet Butterfly aircraft carrier do not need to sit on the fighters themselves, they still need to perform telepathy at long distances. This ship alone requires at least 30,000 pilots to ensure the highest attendance efficiency.

In addition, other warships, such as the Netherlight Butterfly, can also carry tens of thousands of fighters, and also need at least two or three thousand pilots to ensure sufficient attendance during fierce battles.

Solzhenitsyn just replied lightly:

"I'm not here to listen to your complaints, I want to hear your opinions and methods."

"My opinion is that we still need to wait for a period of time, strengthen our troops and prepare our horses, ensure that the fleet personnel are complete, and replenish the Phoenix Army before using troops against Commorragh."

"How long?"

"Um... maybe it will take 3-4 years."
