Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 153 The Prophecy That Frightened the Great Prophet
The holographic force field activated by the Sam-Han worldship was completely unable to block the Primarch's sight.

His eyes were fixed on the Eldar Ark, and he issued orders at a rapid pace.

"Steering 9-8-5, dip 3."

"..."

Under his command, the Shadow of the King constantly corrected its course and always tracked the trajectory of the Eldar Ark.

"Bow spear, 1-4-2, tilt 5."

The black void beast "spit out" a bright beam of light, forcing the red elegant snake to turn and dodge.

This chase is a confrontation between the Primarch and the Great Prophet who leads the world ship in the void, a confrontation between insight and foresight.

Before the Fall of the Eldar, Eldar Arks were massive trading vessels capable of carrying intact, self-sufficient communities of hundreds of Eldar families, which might only return to Eldar civilization three or four times in a thousand years.

After the "Fall of the Eldar", as a refuge world for the Ark Eldar, their size grew rapidly, and now their size is about ten to a hundred times larger than before.

Craftworlds contain webways that connect them to each other and to millions of planets.

A massive space dock is located outside the Craftworld, releasing fleets and aircraft that come through the Webway.

Windrider motorcycle riders and Viper airship pilots gather in clans.

Most of the Eldar within the clan are related by blood, they paint their faces with hot blood, drink blood from the wrists of relatives and friends, and board flying machines with their brothers and sisters.

Motorcycles and airships rushed into space from the huge space dock and charged towards the Royal Shadow.

Diana Boleyn finally found her stage, in this confrontation with the Eldar Ark, where she had not been able to display her abilities before.

The captain methodically deployed defense turrets and established an air defense network.

The speeding red aircraft was shot down by the dense barrage of bullets like a moth to a flame.

Every second, a red aircraft, trailing flames, fell like a kite with a broken string.

Diana naturally would not passively take a beating. She dispatched fighter planes and gunboats to launch a concentrated counterattack, like a heavy punch, hitting the Ada aircraft.

Sam-Han's clan used a chevron or striped pattern as its identity, while the clan the captain attacked used two connected diamonds as its mark.

The riders piloted the elegant airships towards the oncoming human fleet.

They aimed their shuriken cannons at the monkey fighters, unleashing large hunting nets that covered the entire area, and watched in mockery as the foolish monkeys crashed into the shuriken fire.

The auxiliary fighter formations were unable to dodge, nor did they dodge. The pilots shouted for the Emperor and the Primarch, and operated their machine guns to fire angry shells at the alien airships.

The pilots of the Viper airship were surprised to find that the monkey pilots did not try to avoid the dart nets in vain. They fired shells one after another like cold machines.

The pilots gracefully maneuvered the Vipers to dodge, but the dense barrage of bullets covered the entire area of ​​dozens of Vipers.

A clan rider controlled his "mount", dodging left and right, and avoided six shells in a row with superb "riding skills".

But he found that the space for hiding was getting smaller and smaller. The shells and the surrounding airships limited his hiding space.

While he was thinking, he felt another shell coming at him rapidly. He instantly tensed his arms and swung them violently.

Even when he dodged in a hurry, his movements were still smooth and graceful.

However, a cannonball came out of nowhere without any appreciation and hit the elegant red airship.

The perfect arc drawn by the Viper airship in the void was interrupted, and the rude shells ruthlessly tore the fuselage apart, making it no different from the exploded ugly monkey fighter.

When the red elegant airship rushed out with a barrage of bullets, more than 30 Viper airships were also smashed into wreckage and scattered in the cold void.

The clan pilots discovered that the price they paid in their first confrontation was no less than that of the monkeys they despised.

The Eldar, whose emotions are more complex and sensitive than humans, are deeply saddened by the death of their kin, yet they also develop a certain respect for the monkeys. Their attack methods are brutal and primitive, but their courage is admirable.

The second round of air battle broke out immediately. The frontal fighter formation launched a dense covering attack on the Eldar airship, while the Astartes launched precise strikes from the flank.

The Shadows of Order locked onto the airship and launched a ruthless and deadly attack on the dodging elegant airship.

The clan's war leader was completely consumed by sorrow as he piloted his airship out of the barrage of fire.

There were only a few of his clan and blood relatives left.

He forced himself to break away from his sorrow, and the monkeys launched a new attack.

As the war leader quickly controlled the airship and gracefully shook off the rain of bullets, he felt his blood relatives being swallowed by the cold rain of bullets behind him.

He sensed that he was being targeted by four monkey gunboats.

[Unable to dodge.]
The war leader and his elegant vehicle were torn apart by the fiery shells.

Diana relied on a three-round attack tactic of gathering all the aircraft in a local area, disrupting the Eldar aircraft formation with the first round of confrontation, the second round of fire strikes, and the third round of harvesting the remnants, to successively annihilate four Samo-Han clans.

The Great Prophet discovered that Sam-Han's rapid air combat strike tactics, which were as fast as the wind and as fierce as a snake, were ruthlessly defeated.

The entire space war situation did not develop according to the plan he had planned.

In the enemy fleet, several warships had strange cannons mounted on their bellies on both sides, firing etheric fields that directly tore apart the holographic camouflage of the Eldar warships.

He had never encountered such strange artillery, and he had never foreseen that Nimrod's fleet had such advanced artillery.

In the human fleet that Sam-Han encountered in the Taiping star field, none of the human warships had cannons that could fire etheric fields.

[Nimrod's unique artillery technology!]
The Great Prophet saw a scene in his eyes: countless black warships fired dazzling ether field bombardments, making Sam-Han's red Eldar warships visible, and then destroyed these warships.

He saw the world ship being breached by the enemy, and the Eldar in red armor lying in a pool of blood.

The future scenes revealed to him by the thread of fate filled him with fear.

His action to change Sam-Han's fate brought him a terrifying enemy.

The great prophet decisively decided to give up attacking Nimrod and abandon the warning star.

He will find again in the thread of fate a world that carries Sam-Han's future.

The Great Prophet gave the order bitterly: "Give the order, retreat!"

The Eldar warships engaged in battle converged on the World Ship.

Nimrod immediately noticed that a dozen ships approaching the Eldar Ark were entering the interior of the World Ship from the massive dock.

[Run!]
The Primarch naturally would not let the Ark of Sam-Han escape just like that. From the beginning of the space battle to now, overall, the price paid by the 11th Legion is still greater than that of the Eldar.

But according to the current trend, Royal Shadow has not yet completely locked on Sam Han.

The Primarch was keenly aware that this was because his orders were taking unnecessary time to reach the ship's officers and then to reach the crew.

The ship's officers and crew carried out his orders efficiently, but not enough to overcome the Great Prophet's foresight.

He was still able to guide the red Eldar Ark and escape pursuit.

To strike the Sam-Han worldship, you must be faster and more deadly.

The Primarch's consciousness spread throughout the ship.
