Chapter 205 The Deadly Starry Sky
Blackmey walked quickly into the command room, knelt on one knee, and spoke in a steady and powerful voice: "Mother, after 43 minutes of efficient operation, the First Legion has successfully cleared the planet of Turks. All targets have been eliminated, and the brothers of the First Legion have returned to the ship."
Aurora nodded slightly, her eyes never moving away from the projection in front of her that flashed complex data and real-time images. She simply responded softly, "Okay, in that case, let's keep Turks operating. Order the ground forces to be ready for orders at any time."
The Primarch's voice was calm, yet carried an unquestionable authority.
After receiving the order, Braime quickly stood up, turned around and left the command room quickly.
His figure shuttled quickly through the metal passage, and instructions were continuously transmitted through the communication equipment.
Soon, the stagnant planet of Turks began to move again. The previously still mountains, rivers, buildings, facilities, and those frozen life forms all resumed their movement.
The planet that was once shrouded in the shadow of war is now slowly returning to a seemingly peaceful normal under Aurora's control.
The projected image suddenly changed drastically, and dense light spots representing Ran Dan's alien form emerged like a surging tide, endless and seemingly about to swallow up the entire screen.
These light spots were unstoppable and instantly broke through the defense line built by the four legions.
"Damn it! You have to fight to the death here, right?" The Primarch couldn't help but curse under his breath, his tone full of anger and unwillingness.
Then, she quickly issued an order: "Immediately evacuate the ground forces from Tarx!"
However, it was too late.
At the moment the Primarch issued the order, the Dawnbringer ship responsible for the response had just touched the orbit of the planet Tux when it was accurately locked onto by the alien fleet.
In an instant, flames shot up into the sky, and the ship was directly destroyed, turning into a pile of wreckage in space.
The weapons of the alien fleet opened fire at full force, and dazzling rays of light poured out. Endless light completely enveloped the planet Tux. The entire planet seemed to be placed in a terrifying purgatory light, and the shadow of death and destruction spread rapidly.
The Primarch's hands were clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white from the exertion, veins bulging on the backs of his hands, and it was obvious that he was trying hard to suppress the rage boiling within him.
But the situation did not allow her to slack off at all. Aurora took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and continued to command the battle calmly.
The fleets of both sides clashed fiercely, and warships shuttled and cruised in the vast universe.
The dense artillery fire intertwined into a light net, and countless light spears shot back and forth between the enemy and friendly camps. The dazzling light illuminated the dark universe.
The warships collided with each other, their energy shields flickering and shattering under the attack. The ships that were hit were engulfed in flames, with long tails of flame, dragging their wreckage towards the endless void, and finally perished in the explosion.
The collapse of each ship was like a terrible disaster.
The Randan aliens and tens of thousands of elites of the human race were drawn into the vortex of death the moment the battleship was destroyed.
In the face of the coldness and cruelty of the universe, life seems so fragile and insignificant, and the cruelty and bloodiness of war are vividly displayed.
Above this tragic starry sky, the communication channel continued to be filled with the anxious reports of subordinates and the courageous roars of soldiers.
In the fleet, several less damaged warships quickly adjusted their formation and rushed towards the alien flagship.
While dodging the enemy's dense artillery fire, they continuously fired powerful light spears.
During the fierce exchange of fire, a warship was unfortunately hit, its shield was instantly shattered, its hull was riddled with holes, and it slowly spun out of control.
But just as it was about to explode, it suddenly accelerated and crashed into the alien flagship in an almost suicidal charge.
A huge explosion sounded in the universe, flames shot up into the sky, and the heroic battleship and several escort ships around the alien flagship were destroyed together.
This heroic scene shocked both sides. After a brief moment of shock, the war once again became intense.
Inside the command room of the Primarch's flagship, the Solar Glory, the atmosphere was so heavy that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it, making it almost suffocating.
The warning lights on the dashboard were like madly flashing devil's eyes, and the sharp alarms sounded one after another, as if to tear one's nerves apart.
The adjutant's face was filled with anxiety as he nervously reported, "Report! Most of Ran Dan's fleet is heading towards us at full speed!"
The Primarch's face was as cold as ice, his eyes flashing with anger and resentment. He cursed softly, "Damn it! Why are you always targeting me? If you want to cause trouble, you should go after that fellow Jonson!"
Having said that, her eyes never left the chaotic battle on the screen. The Primarch's brain was like a high-speed precision instrument, thinking of a good strategy to break the deadlock every second.
At this moment, Aurora's eyes flashed, and she decisively ordered: "Deal with them first, lure all the fleets that are rushing over here, and then completely destroy them here!"
As the command was given, the energy surrounding the "Glory of the Sun" surged like a surging wave and disappeared from its original position in an instant.
The next second, it appeared like a ghost on the flank of the alien flagship.
Without waiting for the alien flagship to react, the heavy weapons on the "Glory of the Sun" fired in unison. One after another, extremely thick spears of light were like divine blades tearing through the darkness. They instantly cut through the void and hit the alien flagship with the power to destroy the world.
The violent explosion seemed to shatter the entire universe, and the alien flagship shook violently like a giant beast that had suffered a heavy blow.
The solid shell cracked and disintegrated under this powerful impact, and dazzling flames continued to burst out from the damaged area like a volcanic eruption, illuminating the surrounding dark space.
However, the Randan aliens were by no means easy to deal with. They quickly recovered from their brief panic and immediately organized a fierce counterattack.
Groups of small fighter planes, like a swarm of bees covering the sky, roared out from the alien flagship and swooped down towards the "Glory of the Sun" with great momentum.
These fighter planes shuttled flexibly in the universe as if they had life, continuously firing corrosive energy bombs emitting strange light.
Energy bombs rained down on the shield of the "Glory of the Sun", splashing out brilliant and dangerous sparks and leaving shocking scorch marks.
The "Glory of the Sun" responded quickly, and dense laser beams shot out from all sides of the ship like an interwoven light net.
In an instant, the area around the flagship was as bright as day, and the approaching alien fighter planes were shot down accurately one after another, blooming brilliant and deadly sparks in the universe.
But as the battle continued, the balance of time gradually tilted towards the aliens.
Under the high-intensity attack, the flagship's point defense system gradually developed a firepower gap.

Chapter 206 This is golden technology, specializing in clearing space debris, no cheating
Several cunning alien fighter planes seized the opportunity and broke through the defense line like wild horses, making a suicidal charge and directly crashing into the hull of the "Glory of the Sun".
A violent explosion rang out inside the ship like thunder, and the "Glory of the Sun" shook violently, as if it was a small boat struggling in the turbulent waves of the universe.
The lights flickered, as if they would go out at any moment. Part of the cabin was instantly engulfed in flames, and a small-scale huge fire broke out.
At the same time, after a brief period of chaos, the damaged alien flagship gradually regained stability.
Its huge hull slowly adjusted its angle and aimed its main gun, as deep as a black hole, at the "Glory of the Sun".
A terrifying energy beam that was powerful enough to destroy a planet converged madly at the muzzle. The light was so bright that it seemed to devour everything around it.
"Run at full speed!"
The "Glory of the Sun" was like a burning sun, rushing towards the alien flagship with an indomitable momentum.
Under the huge impact force, the alien flagship was shattered like a fragile eggshell, and the wreckage scattered like meteors.
However, the danger has not ended.
Behind them, countless Randan ships surged in like a tide.
Aurora's face was stern, and she ordered without hesitation, "Shoot out the blank painting given by the White King's attendant!"
The Astartes warriors under his command immediately took the order and set off.
I saw the painting, as pure white as a piece of paper, being slowly launched into the vast space.
The scroll slowly unfolded in space, as if given life, and began to expand wildly.
The Randan fleet that was surging like a tide on the opposite side, along with the nearby starry sky that had been ravaged by war, and the broken stars, all began to undergo a strange dimensional reduction under the influence of this mysterious force.
They seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and gradually wrapped by the scroll.
Under the astonished gaze of the crowd, these originally real fleets, starry sky and stars gradually turned into vivid portraits on the scroll, as if they had existed in this scroll.
The starry sky in front of the "Glory of the Sun" had become dead silent at this moment. There was no trace of any stars or meteorites. Even the traces of artillery fire left by the fierce exchange between the fleets just now, as well as the wreckage of the broken ships, had disappeared without a trace, as if all this was just an illusory dream.
Aurora looked at the starry sky before her, which had returned to an eerie calm, and couldn't help but sigh. She sighed with regret, "I give up! I should have shamelessly begged them for a few more of these!"
At this moment, although the battle has temporarily subsided, her heart is full of regret and unwillingness.
But who would have thought that this incredibly powerful scroll that made the Randan fleet disappear without a trace in an instant was just a tool used by humans to clean up space debris in the distant golden age.
At that time, human technology was highly developed, and people pursued simplicity, efficiency and speed in everything. These scrolls were the products of this concept.
They were designed to collect garbage in space in a unique way, just like they are now swallowing up the Randan fleet, turning all the floating metal fragments, abandoned satellites, etc. into patterns on the scroll, making the universe neat and orderly.
However, the Eldar, who once fought against humans, broke the myth of the painting's seeming invincibility.
The psychic powers possessed by the Eldar allow them to establish connections with the Pantheon and gain the attention and protection of the gods.
When the scroll tried to involve the Eldar fleet and related things in it for dimensionality reduction and storage, the power of the gods came into play.
Relying on the power and gazes bestowed by the gods, the elves forcibly broke through the scroll and returned to the high-dimensional universe from the low-dimensional space.
This incident made the Golden Humans of the time realize that these scrolls were really only good at cleaning up space debris, and had huge limitations when facing the Eldar who possessed the Pantheon.
Because of this, in that era of war and fierce confrontation with the Eldar, these scrolls gradually lost their practical value in war.
The White King's servants naturally wouldn't bother collecting them anymore, and the one in Aurora's hand was now one of only two left in the servants' hands.
At that time, in order to effectively fight against the Eldar, humans had to find another way and invest a lot of resources and energy in the development of anti-psychic weapons.
Among them, the anti-psychic iron men are an important achievement. These iron men are made of special materials and equipped with interference devices against psychic energy.
They can get close to the Eldar on the battlefield and use their own devices to interfere with the Eldar's psychic power, preventing their powerful psychic power from functioning normally.
At the same time, humans also developed a curtain weapon to block the sight of the gods.
The principle of this weapon is extremely complex. It can form a special energy field within a certain range, like an invisible curtain, cutting off the connection between the Eldar and the gods.
Once the gods' watchful eyes and protection were lost, the Eldar's advantage on the battlefield was greatly reduced, and humans finally had more confidence and a better chance of winning in their confrontation with the Eldar.
……
On the deck of the Indomitable Truth, the sound of artillery fire was deafening, and beams of deadly light whizzed out from the muzzles, pouring down madly on Ran Dan's ship.
The entire battleship was like an enraged lion, showing its sharp claws and fangs, letting out a deafening roar, venting its endless anger towards the enemy.
In the command room, Leon Johnson's brows were furrowed, his eyes fixed on the flashing battle map on the screen, his voice filled with anxiety: "How's the situation in Aurora now?"
Ever since he learned that Aurora was besieged by the Randan fleet, his heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand.
During this time, he asked the question thirty times on average every hour in Terra, which shows how worried he was about the safety of his blood relatives.
Kos Wayne stood aside, beads of sweat on his forehead. He hesitated for a moment before replying tremblingly, "I just received news that the Randan ships that were besieging Aurora have disappeared."
"Disappeared? Is that all?" Zhuang Sen whipped his head around, his eyes wide open, practically roaring, "Keep asking, what's going on? You have to find out!"
Cos Wayne was frightened by the sudden anger and trembled all over. At this moment, he seemed to see a ferocious beast pouncing at him with bared fangs and claws, and a strong threat of death was coming towards him.
He quickly lowered his head, his voice trembling: "Yes, I'll go right away!" After that, he hurriedly turned around and trotted out of the command room to carry out Zhuang Sen's order.

Chapter 207: Warmaster Takes Turns
Astelan, standing by, bowed slightly and respectfully suggested, "Sir, in my opinion, you might as well start a video call directly with Lady Aurora. That way, you can get the most accurate information immediately, confirm the current situation yourself, and make decisions more quickly."
Upon hearing this, the Lion King nodded slightly, his eyes revealing unquestionable majesty. He said in a deep voice, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. Also, notify Leman Russ and Hui Le and have them join the video call immediately to discuss this together."
The moment Astelan heard this, the smile on his face froze instantly, his originally smooth movements suddenly stopped, and his body solidified slightly, as if it was fixed by an invisible force.
A hint of barely perceptible panic flashed across his eyes, but under the pressure of the Lion King, he quickly regained his composure and replied respectfully, "Yes, sir, I'll do it right away."
……
Braimer hurried to Aurora's side, knelt on one knee, and said in a steady and powerful voice, "Mother, the other Primarchs have sent communications and are awaiting your instructions."
Aurora nodded slightly, her deep eyes revealing the fortitude and composure of someone who had been through many battles. She said calmly, "I'll go get it. Brightman, you stay here and watch for a while."
"Yes." Braimey accepted the order.
The Primarch left the command room and headed for the communications.
After her arrival, the holographic projection in the cabin instantly lit up, and Lareo's image was the first to appear.
Her face was filled with undisguised worry, her brows furrowed tightly, and the concern in her eyes flowed like substance: "Aurora, how are you? Are you okay?"
Almost at the same time, projections of the other two Primarchs also appeared one after another. Although their expressions were different, they all showed concern for Aurora's safety.
Aurora shook her head slightly, a faint smile on her lips: "It's okay, but this time I'm going to use all my best tricks."
Leman Russ's hearty laughter echoed throughout the cabin. He waved his hand carelessly, saying, "Ah, as long as I'm alive! After all, as our Warmaster, you can't always rush to the front like me. It's too dangerous!"
As Aurora responded, the worry that had been thick in his eyes gradually dissipated.
"My temporary war commander? I'll probably be removed after defeating Ran Dan. It won't last long!"
Aurora said half-jokingly, but an unfathomable glint flashed in her eyes. "But when the time comes, the four of us will choose among our ranks. With the victory of this battle, the merits and glory gained, the Primarch who becomes the official Warmaster will surely leave a lasting mark in the history of the Empire."
Zhuang Sen stood aside. When he heard this, his lips moved slightly and his eyes revealed a hint of desire. He really wanted to recommend himself.
"Doesn't that mean I have a chance too?" Leman Russ keenly caught Zhuangsen's expression and smiled maliciously, with a hint of ridicule and mockery in his smile.
