“Your Excellency Sage Miller, a battle report has arrived from the front. The Imperial Navy is currently engaged in fierce fighting with the Chaos Fleet. Should we send troops to support them?” A mechanical priest dressed in a red robe rushed over and reported to Sage Miller, who was standing atop the massive steel fortress.

The Sage Miller stood silently, his body made of countless steel machines, like an indestructible war machine.

His eyes, gleaming with a cold light, were fixed on the massive, dark mechanical ark in the distance, a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth revealing a hint of disdain and mockery.

"Hmph! Those incompetent fools couldn't even protect the Kanzan system. It's entirely their own dereliction of duty! Ignore them. Our mission is only one—destroy that damned heretical ark!" Sage Miller's voice was cold and firm, as if it came from the deepest hell.

At this moment, his gaze grew increasingly intense, filled with both a greedy desire for the mechanical ark and a deep-seated hatred.

To the Cult of Mechanics, that dark mechanical ark was not merely an ordinary mechanical ark, but a blasphemy and insult to the God of Machines.

"Immediately send a message to that admiral, ordering him to remove all fire from the Dark Mechanical Ark! This evil ship can only be purified by us; no one else has the right to interfere!" Sage Miller turned and gave the order to the Star Speaker beside him.

Meanwhile, on a distant battlefield, Aiur, who was fighting a bloody battle against the Chaos Fleet, also received a message from the Mechanicus.

After hearing the news, a burning anger surged within him.

Because he knew all too well how terrifying that dark mechanical ark was; it was not only equipped with the incredibly powerful Nova Cannon, but its broadside firepower was also the strongest in the entire battle fleet.

Each time the Dark Mechanical Ark's macro cannon successfully overloads the Void Shield of an Imperial warship, the other Chaos warships, like sharks smelling blood, will unleash their deadly light spears upon the warship that has lost its Void Shield.

The Imperial Navy's firepower advantage was reversed by this giant ship alone. If it weren't for the fact that its side still had the upper hand in naval aviation, El's fleet would have suffered heavy losses after this battle.

Whether the Mechanicus fleet joins the fleet or attacks the Chaos fleet from another direction, it can greatly help Aiur and enable them to achieve victory with less loss, but they stay near the space station and do not move.

Now these spectators are actually ordering him around?! And they expect him to ignore the enemy's most threatening warship?!

With a furious expression, El issued the order: "All warships, listen up! Concentrate all firepower and blow the Dark Mechanical Ark to smithereens! Starhawk bombardment squadron, immediately change targets and launch a full-scale attack on the Dark Mechanical Ark!"

Originally, this dark mechanical ark, which was under layers of protection, was not in the highest priority position in El's initial attack sequence.

However, after the sage Miller stirred things up, the enraged El didn't hesitate to make him his primary target.

In an instant, the entire Imperial Navy's cannon fire ceased, as if time itself had frozen.

But just moments later, the deafening roar of cannons rang out again, and a barrage of shells, carrying boundless fury and power, rained down on the dark mechanical ark.

The void shield possessed by this huge and sturdy warship began to tremble violently under such fierce and continuous bombardment. The light of the originally indestructible shield gradually dimmed and became shaky.

Each attack struck the void shield like a heavy hammer, producing a series of terrifying roars.

As time goes on, the energy that the Void Shield can withstand is getting closer and closer to its limit. Once this critical point is exceeded and an overload occurs, the Dark Mechanical Ark, having lost this important layer of defense, will be completely exposed to the enemy's fierce firepower.

Given its relatively poor maneuverability, it is almost certain that it will suffer heavy damage.

At the same time, the turning maneuver of the Starhawk bombing formation attracted the attention of everyone present.

If the Imperial fleet's artillery was like peeling away the outer layer of the Dark Mechanical Ark's hard steel armor layer by layer in an orderly fashion, then the Starhawk bomber squadron was like an incomparably sharp blade, piercing straight into the enemy's vital heart and delivering a fatal blow.

As for how the Chaos Fleet views it, the Iron Warriors and the Dark Mechanicus are just cooperating, so why should they risk their lives for it?

However, in order to demonstrate their allegiance, the Chaos Fleet still launched interceptors to block Starhawk, but everyone knew that even if the Chaos full-deck interceptors were deployed, they would not be able to stop it.

The Dark Mechanicus Sage has returned to his ship and is planning an emergency leap into warp space to escape. Like the Iron Warrior, he has no reason to lose his mechanical ark here.

"How dare they!" Upon seeing the battle, Sage Miller slammed his hand on the table, denting the steel surface.

"Fire the Nova Cannons!" Sage Miller's voice was filled with rage. "Aim at those foolish Starhawks!"

His last shred of reason prevented him from bombarding the Imperial fleet with the Nova Cannon; had he had several mechanical Arks, things would have been different.

"Admiral! High-energy reaction! Starhawk bomber formation is in the center of the area! It's the Mechanicus's Nova Cannon!"

"Scatter the Starhawks! Get out of the Nova Cannon's range!" El immediately gave the order, and at the same time, he understood why Kil'jaeden and Tarasin had such low opinions of the Mechanicus. "Damn insects!"

Although the Starhawks fled immediately, half of them were destroyed by the Mechanicus's Nova Cannon. The Chaos Frigates, which were unable to dodge in time to maintain their formation, were also affected, with two being heavily damaged and one frigate destroyed.

"This should be their last Nova Cannon shot, you foolish False Emperor believers," Derek said coldly, watching the Luna-class cruisers retreat under the cover of the fleet.

Just then, a servant on the bridge informed Derek: "Sir, the Nova Cannon of the Dark Mechanical Ark has opened fire, and the Dark Sage has ordered us to cover him."

"Activate all deceleration rockets to cover the Dark Mechanical Ark."

As a dark mechanical ark, it naturally carries a massive nova cannon. Now, after discovering that the Starhawk fleet has been scattered and half of its forces have been lost, the ship has activated the nova cannon, which is aimed at the Mechanicus fleet that is attempting to retreat!

The Mechanicus fleet's low maneuverability made it impossible for them to dodge this Nova Cannon. The Nova that bloomed in the center of the fleet destroyed all of the Mechanicus fleet's escort ships and severely damaged three Endeavour-class light cruisers.

"Company Commander Derek, the Nova Cannons on the Mechanical Ark need to be replenished." After sending the message, the Dark Mechanical Sage urgently leaped into the warp and left.

"Ha, coward." Derek had no intention of leaving; the Iron Warriors wouldn't just have one fleet coming here.

El didn't plan to leave either, because Azure Star, along with the Radiance of Macrag and the assembled Imperial Navy, was already on its way.
