The Emperor’s Angel of Death

Upon hearing the timeframe of 3-4 years, Sorshyan immediately frowned and said:

"That's too long. Two years at most. Find a way to locate those arks, those drifting on the edge of the galaxy, without security guarantees. They would gladly accept the protection of the Eternal Court. At worst, each ark has tens of thousands of people. Recruiting a few thousand shouldn't be difficult. This task must be pursued vigorously and with determination."

"Yes, Your Highness. I will communicate with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately upon my return."

At this moment, Star Disaster stepped forward.

"Your Highness, I also believe that the conquest of Commorragh should be postponed for a while. Firstly, the hidden agents we sent out have not yet taken effect. Secondly, as Lord Ivakhan said, the Eternal Court needs time to digest the fruits of victory and consolidate its strength. Furthermore, Commorragh has a lot of room for division and disintegration. If we are too hasty, we may force all the Kabals together."

"I'm just worried about Vect continuing to cause trouble."

"After this crushing defeat, Vect must be in a state of panic. Countless people in Commorragh have long wanted to replace him. Now, most of his energy is probably focused on how to stabilize the situation and suppress his competitors."

Doral also said softly:

"Your Highness, there is indeed more that can be done with Commorragh."

Sorshyan raised an eyebrow, seemingly guessing what "more" Doral was referring to.

"Those fellows who feign allegiance to the Eternal Court again?"

Doral smiled and bowed slightly.

"Your Highness is wise, but this time it's not those small fry."

"Oh? Could there be any powerful figures?"

"Powerful, I wouldn't say, but this person is deeply scheming, exceptionally intelligent, and ambitious. I consider him to be quite capable. Moreover, he is from an old noble family. He recently sent someone to find me, expressing his desire to pledge allegiance to the Eternal Court and his willingness to cooperate from within when the Eternal Court attacks Commorragh."

Sorshyan smiled contemptuously.

"I know what those guys are like. What allegiance? It's just helping whoever wins. They certainly won't contribute, but they will definitely try to reap the rewards. Lord Doral, do you trust him?"

Doral replied with a smile:

"He is the least trustworthy."

"Oh? What is your meaning, my lord?"

"But we can exploit his ambition. This kind of person seems clever but is actually very easy to manipulate. I sent a reply asking him for a favor, which he should agree to. Then he will become a target to attract Vect's attention. The general plan is like this..."

After listening to Doral's plan, Sorshyan nodded and asked:

"Who is he?"

"The Archon of the White Flame Kabal, Nheos Iliassian."

Commorragh, the Eternal City, a dark, terrible, and sweet nest, a delicacy for immortal sinners. Since its fall, Commorragh has been shrouded in a long and dark midnight, but it remains as solid as a rock. Its inhabitants are forever cheating death, escaping their ultimate fate, addicted to pleasure, obsessed with abuse, and devoted to hedonism. This is the Dark Eldar, the last remnant of the ancient empire that once spanned the galaxy.

But this city has been very tense lately, tense with anticipation... of something.

The atmosphere in the air is changing. The residents of Commorragh can always quickly smell the scent of impending disaster and react.

Rumors of murder and fraud among the Commorragh elite are rampant. It is said that the great Tyrant is plagued by evil conspiracies, which even his Punishers seem unable to unravel. In back alleys and hidden open-air markets, diviners and rune casters whisper terrible omens. The desperate and the destitute gather in dark corners, plotting how to take full advantage of the coming turmoil.

And all this stems from a defeat—

The largest Commorragh fleet ever assembled was惨败 in a naval battle against the despised Eternal Court. Although Vect has repeatedly claimed that the losses were minor, everyone knows that the defeat is just the beginning.

In Commorragh, any sign of failure ultimately leads to destruction.

Not only is the underclass becoming restless, but the nobles and Archons who occupy the spires of Commorragh's upper echelons are also fascinated by this change, and some have even begun to take bold action.

Inside a luxurious chamber, images flicker on the walls, and the soft amber light in the room changes unpredictably. Distant and disturbing sounds flicker on the edge of hearing. This is a movie being played, or rather, a recording, about the Commorragh Sun and Moon War eight thousand years ago. At that time, the Sun Sect, a branch of the Pleasure Cult, rioted, killing the Governor and garrison of Commorragh, but fortunately, the nobles reacted in time, united together to put down the cult rebellion, stabilized the Commorragh situation, and determined the political structure of noble rule, until Vect came to power two thousand years later.

This is the fortress palace located in the Coreyspool area of Commorragh, also the private residence of Nheos Iliassian, Archon of the White Flame Kabal, but today he has summoned two acquaintances, Sherian, Archon of the Blade of Desire Kabal, and Klaragh, Archon of the Eternal Realm Kabal.

In Commorragh, it is extremely rare for three Archons to sit together defenselessly, thanks to the fact that the three share a common identity—descendants of Commorragh's ancient noble families.

Their ancestors were all great nobles who once ruled Commorragh and were at the very top of the power structure. Although there were struggles, they could generally maintain a balance, with a set of less intense "stable games." Moreover, in the long process of intermarriage, everyone was basically intertwined. However, after Vect's rise, most of the nobles were slaughtered or demoted, even reduced to slaves, but a few families transformed themselves into Kabals through "golden cicada shedding its shell."

Among the three, the White Flame Kabal has the greatest power. It controls the docking rights along the Ashkri Talon, as well as a large number of commercial and military docking facilities. Incalculable wealth flows into the White Flame's treasury as a result.

"I often dream of the former Commorragh, how magnificent and great it was, and very noble. Servants and slaves obeyed orders, and there was a clear distinction between superiors and inferiors. Everything was in order."

Gently shaking the glass in his hand and the blood-red liquid inside, Klaragh couldn't help but exclaim. Although he looks young on the surface, a closer look at the hooks behind his head to tighten his skin and the series of syringes behind his shoulders reveals that he is very old. In fact, he is likely one of the most "long-lived" Archons in Commorragh today, an old noble who has lived from Vect's reign to the present.

His full name is Quix Bor Klaragh, also the 889th leader of their family. The history of this family can be traced back to the Mesozoic era of the Eldar Empire. According to Klaragh, their family also produced an Eternal Queen, but those who know him scoff at this statement. This guy loves to flaunt his family history and glory, even fabricating various stories, and will become furious if exposed.
