Rewards: 12000 Honor Points, one-time special equipment [Tears of the Living Saint]
Task failed: Ten points deducted from all attribute values.
Note: This Eldar fleet is the Usvi Ark Fleet, which is stationed in the "Eye of Fear" year-round. This attack on the Temple World is unusual.
Just then, Kenmei Isayama was introducing the information about the temple world of Kerrigan to Marshal Adbeld of the Black Temple. He had already identified which high-ranking officials in charge of the imperial religion of that star system had betrayed the Emperor and were the targets of the Black Temple's execution.
Everything was ready, and then the Inquisition's black ship received a communication signal that their destination, the temple world of Kerrigan, was being attacked by an Eldar fleet that appeared out of nowhere.
The final part of Kenmei Isayama's side quest has also appeared: the battle to defend the world of Kerrigan.
He looked at the quests on the Warhammer Simulator, especially the quest reward, Tears of a Living Saint.
Kenmei Isayama flipped through the data and discovered that the temple world of Kerrigan actually contained a sacred coffin.
He also knew why Slaanesh's followers chose this planet to corrupt, because a living saint slumbered there.
To use a somewhat blasphemous term, the living saint is, in a sense, equivalent to a great demon under the command of a warp god.
It's E the Great Demon, the Emperor's Great Demon!
The living saints possess extraordinary strength. Their attacks have a special bonus against demons. They can be resurrected after suffering fatal wounds, and their wounds will heal immediately. They are immune to the corruption of the Chaos Gods.
The resume of each living saint is an honorary history of the empire. They are heroes worthy of being received by the emperor in person. Although living saints are immortal, they also have a lifespan. Once they die of old age, they will enter a deep sleep (death).
The Holy Coffin is a place where these saints, who made countless great sacrifices for the empire, can rest in peace.
This Kerrigan is where a living saint sleeps, whose name and true name are now unknown, as the history is too ancient to trace back.
Currently, the investiture of living saints is mainly carried out by the Imperial State Church. Among the living saints who remain relatively active within the Empire are Saintess Celestine and Anaïs, both of whom were originally battle nuns.
Kenmei Isayama is very interested in the one-time-use equipment, "Tears of the Living Saint," although its attributes cannot be viewed at present.
However, listing any one of the characteristics of the living saint would be of great help to Kenmei Isayama.
"Immortality," "special effects against demonic attacks," "super-fast regeneration," and "extremely high resistance to mental attacks"—these are all characteristics of a living saint, making the emperor truly deserving of the title "Great Demon."
Each one seemed to be a "golden legend" tempting Kenmei Isayama.
However, before Kenmei Isayama can obtain this equipment, he needs White Sprout's fleet. If he fails, he will lose 10 points of all his attribute values.
White bean sprouts are from the Adaling tribe.
The Eldar are a race many times older than humans, and they even participated in the War of Heaven alongside their creators, the Ancients. (The War of Heaven took place 60 million years ago.)
Compared to this, a human empire spanning 40,000 years seems almost like a newborn baby.
The Eldar were once the dominant race in the universe. Their advanced technology allowed them to consider themselves the "Supreme Beings of the Stars," freely controlling the rules of the galaxy and transcending the natural cycle of life and death.
Even the dead can be resurrected from the Warp, where the Warp is as clean as pure water, and the souls of the Eldar who die will not be contaminated and can return to the real world.
If the ancient and powerful Eldar Empire still existed today, then the human empire would be irrelevant.
The abyss that led their terrible race to destruction, like the once-powerful human empire, was also a consequence of their own actions.
The Eldar are a race with rich emotions; they sensed the absence of anything in the universe.
What could threaten their race? Their society was so wealthy that even without working, the Eldar would receive an astonishing amount of money. Therefore, there was only one thing they could do: indulge in unrestrained pleasure.
The pursuit of pleasure, art, and intellectual stimulation in life is a great temptation for them!
The Eldar have been holding drinking parties for over ten thousand years, and the games they play are no longer limited to the ordinary tricks they're tired of. Because they are not afraid of death, they can always resurrect in the Warp, so they've become more and more bizarre.
They began to indulge in the pursuit of ultimate sensory stimulation, novel experiences, and intellectual stimulation. This mental energy was released into another dimension and coalesced into physical form.
This led to the Eldar creating a terrifying monster, Slaanesh, one of the four great evil gods of the Warp, who had previously wanted Kenmei Isayama to be chosen by the Chaos Gods.
The Eldar are also one of the main culprits who made the Warp so filthy and indescribable.
The energy released when the Slaanesh was born permanently shattered the barrier separating the warp from the real world, so all the planets and stars in this entire ancient Eldar empire region are now trapped in the warp, becoming the world of the Chaos Demons.
This region, now located on the edge of the Milky Way, within the SegentuObscurus region, northwest of Terra, is known as the "Eye of Terror."
That place, heavily guarded by the imperial army, is the graveyard of the once-dominant Eldar Empire, and it is particularly tragic.
The population has been reduced by at least 90 percent, and the surviving Eldar are even experiencing internal divisions.
Even worse, just like the warriors of the Imperium who return to the Golden Throne after death, the Eldar are destined to return to the Warp, specifically to the Slaanesh within the territory of the "Lord of Pleasure." How can this be tolerated?
Fortunately, they discovered something called a Soul Stone that could hold their souls.
Therefore, Slaanesh is the mortal enemy in the hearts of the remaining Eldar, and even in death he cannot die peacefully or find peace.
The problem is that Slaanesh also have a strong affinity for Eldar, and their Chaos Legion captures Eldar to offer to their masters.
These fair-skinned, tall creatures look almost like humans. Not only do they live in the Slaanesh's good zone, but even humans are sometimes attracted to this elegant and beautiful race.
Similar to the handsome men and beautiful women of the Elven race, the Elven race also has long, pointed ears and a ranger unit.
However, because the Eldar have longer limbs and more slender bodies than the human "shrimp", they are called bean sprouts by the rugged green-skinned people. The white ones are called white bean sprouts, and the dark Eldar are called black bean sprouts.
The Eldar are considered alien by the Empire, and if they appear within the Empire's territory, they will be hunted and killed by the Alien Inquisition, one of the three branches of the Imperial Inquisition.
However, Kenmei Isayama knew that the current Regent of the Empire, Robert Guilliman, the Primarch of the "Ultraman" race, was said to have a lover, a young lady from the Adarin tribe, who was known as the "Regent's Wife".
In reality, given the Primarch's iron will, it's unlikely he would have worldly desires, but this fact has already occurred, and those inquisitors, the state religion, and the Astartes who clamor that the Eldar are heretics cannot shake or change it.
They should still be in a honeymoon period, so why would the Eldar fleet brazenly attack the world belonging to the Imperial state religion?
The situation there was so dire that distress signals were being sent out, indicating that the enemy's firepower was so intense that the star system's own defenses could hardly withstand it.
Whether the Eldar are truly serious remains to be seen.
The defensive capabilities of the world under the Imperial State Religion are truly worthless.
Isayama Kenmei couldn't help but curse, "And is this really not some kind of cover-up or underhanded trick by your insiders?"
What a coincidence that they're bringing this up at this time! Damn it, the Inquisition's supervisory team, led by Kenmei Isayama, hasn't even moved in yet, and they're already trying to clean up this mess.
The Eldar fleet's attack on the Temple World, where the Inquisition and the Black Templars were about to occupy, created an opportunity for the Empire's rebels.
How can you completely bury something so that no one knows the truth behind it? It would inevitably involve burning the entire world down, erasing all evidence, intelligence, data, and corrupt individuals involved.
For the traces of an entire planet, war is the simplest...
The method is to destroy all suspicious traces. This kind of thing is commonplace everywhere. Isayama Kenmei has seen robbers who clearly robbed a bank of 20 million, but the news reports that they robbed 100 million.
They are all good at taking advantage of troubled situations.
Isayama Kenmei knew there was going to be a good show. Who was the most furious about the Eldar fleet attacking the temple world of Kerrigan? It was undoubtedly the Black Temple!
This time, they've stepped into every trap the Black Orcs could possibly fall into. Judging from Marshal Adbaird's dark face, Isayama Kenmei knew that the Eldar were in deep trouble this time.
The wrath of the Black Temple will bring destruction upon them.
The Black Templars' most terrifying and biased element isn't just the Glory Queen-class battleship, a relic of the "Imperial Fist."
The reason the Black Templars can conduct high-intensity, sustained expeditions is that they possess large, well-organized supply ships and factory ships.
This is equivalent to the Black Temple having its own large dock and shipyard, allowing it to independently achieve self-sufficiency in warships without any support from the Martian Mechanicus and the Imperials.
Calling it a mini-legion wouldn't be an exaggeration. Moreover, as the most famous and best-performing legion among the Dornish offspring, it vaguely seems poised to replace the mother legion that was once wiped out.
"Gentlemen, heretics are now rampaging across the God Emperor's territory."
This time, Kenmei Isayama was not on the black ship of the Inquisition, but followed the monks of the Black Sanctuary to the largest conventional battleship in the Empire - the Glory Queen-class battleship [Eternal Expedition].
Warships of this caliber easily exceed twenty kilometers in length, making them relics from the Imperial Great Expedition. It is known that the Empire built a total of twenty of these ships, all of which were flagships of various Primarchs. For example, the flagship of the Ultramarines, the Radiance of Macragge, was twenty-six kilometers long, and the flagship of the Iron Warriors Legion, the Blood of Steel, was twenty kilometers long.
This warship is far more powerful than Kenmei Isayama's Black Ships fleet. Both its cannons and armor thickness are of the highest standard. The Glory Queen-class warship is equipped with incredible firepower and can defeat an entire fleet or a rebellious planet single-handedly.
However, according to the Black Templars' history, this warship was seized by the Chaos Space Marines as soon as it came into their hands. In the end, the Black Templars only managed to reclaim it after the battle between the two sides essentially destroyed the Black Expedition.
Fortunately, the Black Sanctuary had a complete ship repair system, and it took twenty years to repair it.
The Eternal Expedition is now the representative of the Black Templar, following discussions and cooperation between the high-ranking officials of the Inquisition and the Black Templar.
The Grand Marshal of the Black Templars transferred control of the flagship to Adbelle, a veteran who had served for five hundred years.
"Do not let the honor of the Black Sanctuary be tarnished."
Thinking of this, Marshal Adbaird of the Black Templars had a very gloomy face, and the Black Templar warriors under him also had dark faces, unable to suppress their anger.
“These damned heretics dare to touch our land.”
As the emperor's most loyal servant, how could he stand by and watch a divine world be trampled upon by a foreign race?
“Remember, gentlemen, I don’t want any of these pickled radishes that are not edible to escape through the back channels.”
Inside the main control room of the Black Sanctuary's "Endless Expedition," Kenmei Isayama had already seen the planet Kerrigan Temple on the large screen.
Even if Kenmei Isayama were here, he could see that the surface of the azure planet was covered by giant explosions that occurred from time to time, and the blue beams of light that touched the ground produced sparks that shot straight into the atmosphere.
Seven or eight enormous, elegantly smooth, azure-blue warships were assembled in orbit around the world, while countless smaller, red ships, like locusts, were continuously emerging from the motherships.
Those warships with two giant wings, one above the other, constantly shimmering with a faint blue light, are the pinnacle of Eldar shipbuilding craftsmanship, the "Voidhunter-class" warships, belonging to the Eldar race's super-large battleships, with their respective escort ships on either side.
Aurora-class light cruisers, Eclipse-class cruisers, Shadow-class cruisers, and so on—these are all common Eldar warships.
"Void Hunter" level and other similar body types
These enormous behemoths possess unimaginable mobility, and their array of cannons and pulse lances make them the most terrifying weapons of war.
Those densely packed red things, which looked about the same size as the fighter jets in Isayama Kenmei's original world, were Eldar fighters. They were part of the "Void Hunter" and could carry several squadrons of Dark Star fighters or Eagle bombers to perform all sorts of missions.
For example, bombing designated high-value targets, decapitation strikes, indiscriminate attacks, and other missions are all things that these flight squadrons can do.
Every Imperial who beholds the Eldar fighters marvels at their speed and agility, which are as swift as hurricanes. These killing machines possess an elegance and speed unmatched by younger races. In battle, they are as precise and deadly as the eagles of the Eldar god of war, Kronos (a sleek, inescapable, deadly raptor).
The Void Chaser is a combination of the missile destroyer and the aircraft carrier in Kenmei Isayama's understanding. Its firepower can serve as the output point, while the densely packed Eldar fighters demonstrate super high mobility to provide large-scale fire support and damage to enemy warships.
Who would have thought that these things were left behind by the ancestors of the Eldar, whose shipbuilding techniques were still stuck in that era? Moreover, the Eldar Ark World warships, regardless of size or power, are directly comparable to the most powerful warships of the Imperial Navy.
While the human race was still learning to speak, the Eldar had already been traversing the vast universe for tens of millions of years, the swayers of the stars.
The gap in technological level between the human empire and the Aidaling is as vast as the difference between primitive humans and modern humans, or the difference between cold weapons and firearms, because the Aidalings have made no progress in the past tens of thousands of years.
The Empire was the weaker party; its macro cannons and light spears were imitations of Eldar warships, but their power was not to be underestimated.
Kenmei Isayama originally intended to have the Imperial Navy reinforce them before sending the Black Sanctuary into action. Imperial Navy warships would also be coming, since Kerrigan's distress signal had been sent to several star systems within the week.
"Void Shield fully activated!!!"
Marshal Adbelle of the Black Templar, seated in the captain's chair, issued the first order to all Black Templar warships.
"Max speed, all troops, launch an attack!"
Kenmei Isayama stared wide-eyed, utterly astonished by the Black Sanctuary's actions.
