Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 152: The Eldar's Holographic Force Field

After the battleships of the 11th Legion jumped to the alert system, they immediately began to besiege the Red World Ship with their absolute numerical advantage.

The Eldar Ark orbited the star Astravega, and the Great Prophet used planets and asteroid belts to prevent the elegant warship from being hit by the savage monkeys.

But he felt that the monkey battleships relied on their absolute numerical advantage to spread a large network in the alert galaxy.

In the future pictures he saw, he could not see any silk threads that could avoid all enemy ships.

The Great Prophet also sensed that there was a terrifying creature inside the huge warship that had just arrived.

He was a star in the Warp, outshining every living being in the system, even outshining the blazing Vigilant and its satellite, Neoblaze.

[The Primarch, Nimrod.

According to the prophecy, the fate of Vigilance, a planet of vital importance to Sam-Han, has changed.

We follow every thread of change, and they all eventually converge on him.]
The Great Prophet's eyes turned cold, and his thought pulses swept across the entire Ark.

"The threads of fate have been woven."

"We have done everything we can to create the best conditions for victory."

"We must win, we must kill Nimrod!"

The Great Prophet gripped the staff tightly in his hand and issued battle orders.

"Activate the holographic force field and let the monkeys die in the Eldar's mysteries."

“Prophets, send a message to our brothers and sisters!”

"The prey has been caught in the silken web, it's time for the cosmic snakes to strike!"

All the warships of "Shadow of Order" discovered at the same time that the holographic images of the alien warships captured by the auspicious instruments and other scanning devices were instantly enveloped by a moving cloud of colorful fragments, and they could no longer lock onto the position of the enemy ships.

Nimrod's fingers tapping on the command throne paused for a moment, he "smelled" the scent of a trap.

He knew that the defense method of Eldar ships was different from that of human ships. The holographic force field they used was a programmable holographic projection force field.

Harlequins and Eldar Rangers also use holographic force fields as their primary defense.

Unlike typical force fields that simply block attacks, holographic force fields distort the user's appearance, preventing them from being hit in the first place.

When the user is stationary, the force field simulates the surrounding terrain, making people or vehicles invisible.

As they move, the force field causes their image to "explode" into a cloud of tiny, colorful fragments.

The faster the user moves, the wider the fragments are dispersed.

When the user stops, the pieces snap back together, giving rise to terms like "jigsaw force field" or "domino force field."

[The Eldar had not been activated before, but now it is suddenly activated.

The Eldar's Prophet seeks to create the illusion that they have the advantage, but the enemy still has a chance.

The Ark is just a bait thrown on the surface; other ships are lurking inside the Sam-Han Ark.]
As Nimrod pondered, he realized that the Eldar had set a trap, and he immediately spoke.

"The Eldar have set up an ambush, and a large number of enemy ships are about to arrive at the battlefield."

"The enemy ships are using holographic force fields. The ships in the fleet that have been equipped with etheric cannons are using them to launch attacks."

The Frao people's ether cannon sends pulse energy containing ether energy, and the ether field in the beam ignores physical defenses.

Whether it was the void shield of the human empire or the holographic force field of the Eldar, the etheric energy was unhindered and penetrated directly.

Due to the size of the Vostroyan shipyard and the campaigns of the various chapters, the installation of ether cannons was carried out in turns, and most ships had not yet completed the modification.

[After this battle, the speed of installing ether cannons on the Legion ships should be accelerated.

Sepra Mundi is the ideal world for shipbuilding. Construction should be accelerated to allow it to quickly develop into a shipbuilding world comparable to Mars.]
As Nimrod pondered, Howard Finder aboard the First Chapter's flagship, the Sawtooth, received a message from the fleet's liaison vessel. The Arbiter Lord immediately relayed the Primarch's orders to the warships. Then, watching the multicolored light suddenly appear on the holographic image, he addressed Captain Yasin of the Second Company and Michal of the Third.

"Yasin, your Pride of Vostroya; Michaul, your Dark Judgement."

When Howard became a captain of the first company, he inherited the Pride of Vostroya, Nimrod's flagship before his return to the Empire.

Of the other ships of the First Regiment, only the Dark Judgment was equipped with an ether cannon.

"Use your aether cannons to teach the Eldar a lesson."

After careful consideration, the Lord of Arbitration finally gave up on using the battlecruiser as the flagship of the chapter, and instead used the Emperor-class battleship Sawtooth as the flagship.

In the previous battles, the Sawtooth's record was still brilliant, but now he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

In the holographic image, the Vostroya and Dark Judgment emitted pulses of light, like holy light that dispelled illusory light, making the alien warships visible, and then used the bow light to severely damage the enemy ships.

Howard longed to take command of the warship and destroy the Eldar warship himself.

The Arbitration Lord looked at the densely packed colorful light clusters surrounding the Sawtooth, which were unscrupulously launching waves of harassment and attacks on the Sawtooth.

Although the Emperor-class battleships' powerful void shields blocked all attacks, the side-strike macrocannons' counterattacks rarely achieved any results.

Until now, they have only managed to destroy two frigates by relying on intensive firepower.

Howard turned his gaze to the ball of light that was heading straight for the Sawtooth. The light spear at the bow had just launched a round of attack, but the ball of light did not stop, which meant that the beam failed to hit the hull of the alien warship.

The Arbitration Lord clenched his fists, raised his head, and stared angrily at the enemy ship that was charging towards him provocatively.

The pupils in his dark eyes gradually dilated, and gradually the black pupils grew larger and larger, occupying the entire eye.

In the eyes of Order Shadow, the colorful light balls suddenly disappeared in an instant, and he saw an elegant and slender alien warship.

The Shadow of Order was stunned for a moment before reacting. In anger and unwillingness, he activated the talent inherited from the Father of Genes - "Subspace Insight".

The Arbitration Lord's eyes turned cold. He saw that the bow light on the display screen above his head had just been charged. He immediately gave an order to guide the artillery officer, who was unable to capture the enemy ship as usual, to the position of the enemy ship.

"Bow Spear! 0-1-1, angle 11, attack!"

The first company captain, Sesak, was also furious because the alien was riding on his face. He tightly grasped the chainsaw sword at his waist and looked angrily at the ball of light on the holographic image.

He frowned when he suddenly heard Howard speak.

What is he doing? Anger-fueled? Gambling?
The next moment, a dazzling beam of light shot out from the bow of the Sawtooth, heading straight for the colorful ball of light.

After dozens of seconds, the light dissipated, revealing a tall warship that was cut in half by a powerful beam of light.

After being stunned for a second, Sesak looked at Howard in surprise.

"how did you do that?"

The Arbitration Lord's temple twitched slightly. He felt that he was mentally exhausted from using "Subspace Insight" from thousands of kilometers away.

Even if he possessed a superhuman body and underwent two small and one large mental enhancements, he could only use it twice more.

"This is the gift bestowed upon us by the Father of Genes. If you follow his teachings, you too will awaken one day."

"If you are always blinded by anger, you will never master it."

Howard ignored the thoughtful captain and captured another enemy ship rushing over from tens of thousands of kilometers away.

As the Arbitration Lord gave the order to attack, he felt a sharp pain in his temple and his spirit was exhausted.

[The longer the distance, the greater the consumption.

Perhaps only the Primarchs can use it without restriction.]
When Howard awakened his "subspace insight" ability and destroyed the enemy ship, Nimrod set his sights on the World Ship.
