Warhammer: From the Devouring C'tan Fragments

Gultag and Alecto listened attentively to Slok's detailed explanation. With each word they heard, their eyes gradually brightened, as if a ray of light had dispelled the fog that had shrouded their hearts for a long time.

Those questions that had been bothering them and puzzling them suddenly melted away like ice and snow encountering the warm spring sun, and everything became clear.

Gultig hurriedly stepped forward, bowed deeply to Slok respectfully, and performed a standard etiquette of the Ada nobility.

"Respected Prophet, after your profound and simple explanation, I now fully understand how to proceed. Please allow me to express my sincerest gratitude for helping me unravel this mystery."

Slok smiled and stared at Gultag, whose mind had changed, with a look of relief in his eyes.

"Gultai, I'm truly delighted that you grasped the profound meaning of this so quickly. I hope you can maintain such a clear mind and decisive decision-making ability when facing various complex situations in the future."

Gultai raised his head slightly, his gaze meeting Slok's deep and wise eyes, his face filled with a flattering smile.

"Great Prophet, if you had not provided me with valuable information and wise guidance in a timely manner, I would probably still be trapped in confusion and unable to extricate myself.

It is with these key clues you provided that I was able to find the path leading to the right direction among many possibilities and make the most wise choice. "

Hearing these words of praise, the corners of Slok's mouth rose slightly, but this satisfied smile was fleeting and hidden so deeply that Gultag and Alecto, who were standing beside him, failed to notice this subtle change.

Gultaig walked briskly and hurriedly towards the communicator placed not far away. When he reached the communicator, he reached out and grabbed it without hesitation, then shouted an order in an extremely serious and unquestionable tone:

"Everyone, attention! Retreat immediately. We must leave this damned human galaxy as soon as possible! No delay!"

"Lord Gultig, are we really going to leave like this? How can those tribesmen who died heroically rest in peace? Their blood cannot be shed in vain!" A general shouted in grief and anger.

"My lord, how could these weak humans allow us to escape in such a miserable way? We are powerful warriors!" Another voice sounded immediately afterwards, full of unwillingness and anger.

"My Lord, please think twice before you act!" someone else pleaded anxiously.

For a moment, the entire communication channel exploded with voices of doubt, confusion, and protest. They found it difficult to accept the order to abandon the Themis System and leave in disgrace.

Gultai's face was as gloomy as water, and his cold gaze seemed to penetrate the heart of everyone through the communicator. His tone became extremely serious and bloody: "I repeat, this is an order! Everyone must obey it unconditionally! There is no room for negotiation!"

After a brief silence, a mixed but uniform response came from the other end of the communication channel: "...Yes."

Although everyone was still filled with dissatisfaction, Gulteg's unquestionable majesty forced them to suppress their emotions and ultimately choose to obey orders.

Just as Gultai was about to put down the communicator, he hesitated. "This is not just my personal decision, but also the decision made by the Prophet after careful consideration. I believe that the great Prophet will not be wrong, and all we have to do is resolutely implement her will."

"Lord, in that case, we understand."

"As you command, Lord."

"The Prophet's decision will not be wrong."

When everyone heard that the prophet had agreed to this decision, those who had originally had objections immediately put aside their dissatisfaction and accepted the result with joy.

Under the command of Gultig, the Eldar fleet quickly sailed towards the Themis galaxy, no longer choosing to continue fighting with the Star Navy.

"Report to Captain Jiel! Those extremely hateful aliens are driving their warships and speeding out of the galaxy! Could it be that... they are going to flee with their tails between their legs?" The atmosphere in the bridge of a destroyer was extremely tense.

This destroyer was the closest of all the ships to the Eldar fleet. Just now, the soldiers responsible for observing the enemy witnessed the Eldar fleet suddenly turn around and rush towards the outside of the Themis system like a wild horse.

This situation made the soldier extremely anxious. Without having time to think about it, he immediately hurriedly reported the situation to Ji'er.

Ji'er's eyes were fixed on the huge holographic projection in front of him, and he saw that the Aeldari fleet, which had been showing off its might and showing its fangs, had turned around and was fleeing rapidly towards the outside of the Themis galaxy without any hesitation.

This sudden change made Ji'er's face instantly darken, as if ink could drip out of it. He gritted his teeth and shouted angrily:

"This bunch of reckless alien bastards! The battle between us has just begun, and they actually want to slip away? It's simply wishful thinking!"

Dorak, standing nearby, also witnessed the entire scene. Seeing the enemy about to slip away from under his nose, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. "Chase them! We must not let these abominable guys go! We must catch them all in one fell swoop, leaving no one alive!"

Dorak had been busy preparing a boarding operation plan. Who would have expected that the Eldar fleet would suddenly choose to evacuate the Themis system at this critical juncture?

This undoubtedly made all of Dorak's careful planning come to nothing, and his anger was self-evident.

Ji'er's eyes also became extremely cold. "These damn alien creatures must all be eliminated. Only dead alien creatures are good alien creatures."

Ji'er gave an order in a deep voice over the communication channel, "Chase them and destroy these damn aliens. We can't let them leave the Themis system so brazenly. This is a provocation to us."

"Yes, Captain Ji'er." The officers in the fleet roared in unison, all looking extremely angry.

The fleets of both sides quickly cut through the dark void, leaving long tail flames where the warships passed.
