Chapter 99: How come you are the same as Anlakaier?
(There are still updates today. The main storyline has 4000 words. Yesterday's happy extra story has a 3000-word sequel, and this chapter is 5000 words.)
(Today's total is 2000 words. I slept a little longer in the early morning because of a headache, so I will post 5000 words first. I will code the other chapters as soon as possible.)
The war in the Webway is still going on, the fleets of both sides are bombarding each other, the Necrons fleet is tearing Chaos ships into pieces, while the ships of the Terran Expeditionary Fleet are advancing step by step and steadily.
The Necrons' ships are extremely powerful. Whether it is their means of attack or their ability to self-repair, they almost symbolize a powerful weapon of pure physical technology against the warp.
Every time the planet killer, which could eject energy turbulence, attacked the flagship of the Sekhmet Dynasty, its attack would always be instantly weakened by at least half.
Even if the attack directly hits the body of the Sekhmet Dynasty flagship, the flagship's hull itself can compensate for the damage through self-repair.
Trazyn the Infinite is commanding this battle meticulously. This Necron overlord is more than just the museum director he appears to be.
He was a Necron Overlord first, a museum curator second.
The Great Crystal Pyramid fell into chaos after losing Magnus's command, and Ahriman alone was not enough to command the Thousand Sons to resist the tide of Necron forces.
Even though Ahriman sent out his Chaos armored forces, the Necrons' troops still surged towards the Great Crystal Pyramid like a tide.
And the most crucial thing is that the Necrons continue to place black stone obelisks around the Great Crystal Pyramid. These activated black stone obelisks have a very serious inhibitory effect on the subspace energy around the Great Crystal Pyramid.
They severed the connection between the Warp and this Webway space. Originally, they had hoped to reversing the polarity of the Blackstone to connect the Warp and the Webway, but now it seemed that they needed other means to achieve these goals.
The most important thing is that I could originally feel the gaze of the Lord of Change, but now the Lord of Change's sight seems to have disappeared.
Not to mention watching, I couldn't even sense the slightest breath.
No matter how his followers called out to the Lord of Change, he never responded to any of their words. Everyone could only feel the Lord of Change's anxious emotions from the chaotic and uncontrollable warp energy and psychic power.
It was clear that a battle was also taking place in the Warp that was engulfing the gods themselves, and the Lord of Change was unable to help himself now.
"Have our wizards and Rubric Warriors who were heading for the Blood Angels transport ship returned? If this continues, the Great Crystal Pyramid's defenses will collapse."
At this time, Ahriman, who was in full command, had begun to find that the available troops at his disposal were becoming fewer and fewer. Although the Rubric Warriors could reshape their bodies under the wizard's spell, that required time and rituals.
Their souls have indeed returned to the hands of the Lord of Change, and one day in the future they can become Red Letter Warriors again.
But that is something in the future, he can't do it now!
Ahriman released an extremely destructive psychic shock that completely destroyed the large number of Necrons in front of him, but soon the empty area was filled with more Necrons.
And this time it is even more terrifying than the previous situation, because this time the Necrons' ground offensive has summoned a large number of underworld constructs.
These self-repairing and powerfully armored war machines are unaffected by any Warp energies, and any self-inflicted curses or spells designed to reduce their combat effectiveness are of no use.
The bodies of these war machines were inlaid with black stone, which was extremely unusual among the underworld constructs he had seen before. No Necron would use black stone on these consumables.
If Trazyn knew what Ahriman was thinking now, he would immediately laugh out loud.
First of all, he, the Necrons, is not afraid of loss. Every ordinary Necron can rely on the rebirth protocol to transfer consciousness, and then rely on the corresponding technology in his Solemnas Museum to transfer to another body.
Although such action also takes time.
But in terms of losses, the Necrons' current losses are much smaller than those of the Rubric Warriors of the Thousand Sons Legion.
Furthermore, how could Ahriman be sure that these were the warriors of his own Solomons?
As a museum director with dirty hands, it shouldn't be difficult for him, Tarasim, to borrow some soldiers from other dynasties, right?
Ahriman kept estimating the state of war around the Great Crystal Pyramid, but the more he estimated, the more dangerous he felt the current situation was becoming.
The Necrons intended to use the Black Stone to surround the entire Crystal Pyramid, and this attempt was clearly aimed at capturing the Crystal Pyramid, their flagship.
There was no way he would let this Necron succeed. This great crystal pyramid contained all the knowledge and treasures that the Thousand Sons Legion had collected since the Great Crusade.
This Necron must have intended to steal all the collections by capturing the Great Crystal Pyramid. If he succeeded, all the collections of the Thousand Sons Legion over tens of thousands of years would be completely destroyed.
There is no way this Necron will return these things to them. He will definitely hide their collections in a place where they will never find them.
When Ahriman looked up at the Blood Angels' transport ships, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Normally speaking, the Blood Angels' desire to fight is much higher than that of the Ultramarines, especially when dealing with people like them.
Logically speaking, the main force responsible for the battle at this time should be the Blood Angels, but no matter how you look at it, the real spearhead of this Terra expeditionary fleet is the Ultramarines.
This in itself reveals some abnormal signs, it is really weird.
Although Ahriman had his doubts, he was busy fighting and had no good way to peek into the interior of the Blood Angels transport ships.
"Sir, our troops have almost disappeared in there. There is no news at all. The wizards sent to the various Blood Angel transport ships all let out terrified roars at the last moment."
"The cargo on those ships is definitely not ordinary cargo."
Ahriman's assistant wizard was now flying to the chief wizard's side on a floating disc. Under Ahriman's cover, he performed a very rough peek magic on the interior of the transport ships, but all he could hear were terrified roars.
Those were the elite wizards of the Thousand Sons Legion. What on earth could have made them roar in such fear?
And don't forget, these wizards are protected by a large number of red letter warriors.
How could they block the psychic damage in the narrow terrain and break through the defense of the Red Letter Warrior, and even attack the wizard himself despite these layers of obstructions?
Not even the Blood Angels could do that.
"We must retreat. The current situation is dire. If we continue to delay, we will likely suffer heavy losses. Order the Great Crystal Pyramid to gradually withdraw from the battle and leave the Planet Killer here."
"That's just a Warp artifact, and the Great Pyramid is the only place where all the Thousand Sons Legion's treasures are kept. Even if the Planet Killer is destroyed here, the Crystal Great Pyramid must not be harmed."
In fact, Ahriman also knew that what he said was a little wrong, but so what?
To the Thousand Sons Legion, the Great Crystal Pyramid is much more valuable than the Planet Killer. The Planet Killer is just a weapon specially used by the Four Gods to destroy the planets in the real universe.
For their Thousand Sons Legion, this is really of no importance.
Although the Thousand Sons Legion and Carlos belong to the same faction of the Lord of Change, the relationship between the two sides is actually not very good. Carlos is considered to be the number one demon under Tzeentch, but he looks down on this birdman very much.
He can see the future and the past, but he cannot see the present clearly. A guy who cannot see the current situation clearly will not be able to make a correct prediction about something.
"Can we communicate with the Primarch?"
"If we perform a ritual, then maybe it's possible, but we'll need time and cover, and we'll need to borrow the power of the Great Crystal Pyramid."
Ahriman waved his hand, signaling him to do it immediately. They must now obtain the Primarch's consent before the Great Crystal Pyramid can retreat, otherwise a hasty retreat will only incur the Primarch's wrath.
Besides, no matter what, the Primarch could not be left alone on the enemy flagship surrounded by enemies, otherwise it would be three Primarchs and countless Astartes who would besiege the Father of Genes.
By then, there would be no way they could rescue their father.
Several elite wizards of the Thousand Sons Legion immediately turned around and entered the interior of the Great Pyramid to prepare for the ceremony, while the Rubric Warriors under their command were immediately handed over to Ahriman.
Right now, Ahriman is still needed to maintain the front line, and they must transfer all available combat forces to the front line.
They were inside the Great Crystal Pyramid, and it was impossible for any enemy forces to invade.
The underworld beetle on the side projected all these images onto Trazyn's floating throne. The experienced Necron overlord had actually anticipated this situation.
Everything he did was to force the Thousand Sons Legion to take the next action as soon as possible, otherwise a long period of consumption would be disadvantageous to both sides, and one of the two sides must be able to break the deadlock as soon as possible.
If the Great Crystal Pyramid had not been waiting in the Webway for a long time, he would never have chosen to fight inside the Webway.
These enemies from the Warp do not suffer any negative effects after entering the Webway, but they are different for the Necrons. Every step they take in the Webway is a burden for them.
Even though their own race has mastered the use of the so-called Tombstone Gate, the Webway itself is still a creation of the Old Ones. The living metal bodies of the Necrons will be constantly eroded by the Webway itself when walking on it.
This was a setup arranged by the Old Ones to prevent the Necrons from using the Webway for a long time.
In addition to this, a more critical reason is that time is almost running out.
The opening of the Tombstone Gate will activate the detection mechanism of the Webway itself and close the node gates on both sides of this "damaged" Webway path.
If they cannot resolve the trouble with the Thousand Sons Legion as soon as possible, then when the node gates on both sides are closed, the human fleet will no longer be able to arrive at Terra on time.
If you want them to leave the Webway at that time, you can only rely on your own tombstone gate to take them to Sollemnas.
But such a result is absolutely unacceptable.
He was not worried about what these human fleets would do to Solemnas. The real problem was the guy standing behind these human fleets.
If he gets the exact coordinates of Sollemnas, all his collections will be ruined.
Moreover, there are more than one bandit in this universe. He is just the biggest one among that group of bandits. There are four other bandits like him.
What if they stand in the same camp and agree to send troops to rob me together?
If the five gods join forces, it will be beyond the ability of a Necron Overlord like me to handle.
By then, even if the Nihilak Dynasty is brought over, it may not be enough. The situation will require Szalak to come back to lead the Necrons, and finally a War in Heaven will be fought.
"You want to evacuate now? What about the time I lost here? No, you can't leave. You have to compensate me for what I lost first."
Seeing that these guys from the Warp were trying to escape, Trazyn immediately became angry. Although the Necrons' troops could be rebuilt through the Rebirth Protocol, who would make up for the time he lost?
So no matter what, we can't let these bastards from the subspace get away!
No matter what, you have to leave me half of the things in your Great Crystal Pyramid!
Under Trazyn's command, all the Necron forces once again accelerated their offensive, and the offensive momentum that had already crushed Ahriman's defense to the point of suffocation was further strengthened.
The Darkworker constructs began to use their unreasonable armor properties to act as vanguards, while the Necrons' individual units continued to use Gauss weapons to accurately kill the defending Rubric Warriors.
Trazyn now realized that these guys were just a group of puppets who couldn't control their bodies. As long as the wizards who commanded them could be killed, these so-called red letter warriors would immediately fall into the dilemma of having no one to command them.
From this perspective, these Thousand Sons Legions are really similar to their Necrons.
Despite holding on to such sighs, Trazyn did not relax his men's offensive. It was precisely because they were so similar that Trazyn understood the horror of this characteristic.
If the Thousand Sons Legion is given enough time, the red letter warriors that he had just destroyed would be reborn under the warp spells of the Thousand Sons wizards.
By then, both sides will be caught in an endless battle of mincing flesh... well, even though both sides combined may not even be able to produce a batch of complete flesh.
But this did not affect him from continuing to increase his offensive.
In order to accurately assassinate the Thousand Sons wizards on the battlefield, Trazyn released the elite Death Mark assassins. These battlefield assassin masters only targeted high-value targets on the battlefield.
The weapons in their hands are much more powerful than ordinary Gauss decomposition rifles. These weapons can directly launch decomposition energy turbulence and have the destructive power to directly break through the Thousand Sons Wizard's psychic shield.
Just one hit and the Thousand Sons Sorcerer's body would instantly turn into ashes.
"What's going on over there? Why has the pace of the attack slowed down?"
While commanding, Trazyn also noticed another thing, that is, the human Terra expeditionary fleet was gradually slowing down its advance.
He detected a massive surge of Warp energy coming from the Terran Expeditionary Fleet, and knew that the lost Fallen Primarch had headed for the Human flagship, but the damage they could cause should be very limited.
This did not affect the Terra Expeditionary Fleet's continued advance, unless those humans did so intentionally in order to cause their fleet to suffer more losses.
"We need to reorganize the fleet. The Eldar on the ships claim that this section of the webway is about to be closed. We must be ready to leave the battlefield at any time."
Guilliman certainly knew what Trazyn was now suspecting.
To this, he could only say that Trazyn was right to be suspicious.
Not only did he hope to inflict more losses on the Necron fleet, he also hoped to secretly transfer their spacecraft and equipment to the Glory of Macragge.
To humanity, each of these Necron technologies represents the pinnacle of extreme physical research.
If we can obtain some of the key technologies of these Necrons ships, we might be able to advance the construction plan of that special flagship.
"Don't worry. Even if this section of the Webway is completely blocked, I can use the Tombstone Gate to help you open the door to another section of the Webway."
"But that would take too much extra time, and what the Human Empire lacks most right now is time."
Guilliman uttered this lie without blushing, his heart beating, or his eyelids trembling. Even Trazyn knew that Guilliman was lying, but he couldn't say it directly because of his face.
He actually understood what Guilliman was planning. He simply felt that the loss was a bit too great and he wanted some compensation.
"I know you want compensation, but the problem is that we can study the contents of the Crystal Library together after we take it."
"Who do you think I stole more from you Necrons, or did you stole more from our human empire?"
Guilliman had a verbal confrontation with Trazim with an expressionless face, which ended with Trazim's defeat.
There was no other reason, it was mainly because the latter had done too many immoral things, and Guilliman only needed to use simple words to occupy the moral high ground, and then stood on his high ground to point fingers at the museum director with dirty hands.
I have seen it in the records. In order to steal a bell, this guy directly intervened in a battlefield, and after gaining some benefits from both sides, he took the bell away with him.
So no matter from which angle, he absolutely cannot believe what Trazyn said about sharing the collection.
Just as his adoptive mother said, every collector is greedy, and the reason why Trazyn gave up his collection must be that he could get more collections.
Based on this idea, Trazyn would not share anything with them.
