Man in Warhammer, starting Primarch

The Necrons had a chance to evacuate the Isen System.

In the years following the War in Heaven, the Necrons gained access to the Webway. A C'tan named Nyardrazatha, or 'The Burner,' had long yearned to take his unholy fire into the space beyond the material realm.

So the C'tan showed the Necrons how to breach the boundary between the two - through a series of living rock portals called 'Tombstone Gates,' the Necrons finally learned to use the Old Ones' greatest weapon against the Old Ones themselves.

But the entrances to the Tombstone Gates were far less stable than the Webway entrances that the Old Ones had taught the Eldar to create.

Some have speculated that the Webway may be alive in itself, not simply a fast-track passage through the Warp, but a vast, unfathomable Warp entity.

In some strange way, the Webway can detect when its surroundings have been breached by a Tombstone Gate, and will immediately attempt to seal off the invaded fork.

Only with the help of the strange singularity at the edge of the galaxy, that is, the Mandeville Point, can the Necrons open the Tombstone Gate more safely and achieve the purpose of rapid evacuation.

Not long ago, with the powerful material space navigation engine of the Necrons, the Imperial Fleet could not stop them from reaching the Mandeville Point.

But they turned back and locked their eyes on the Imperial Regent Guilliman.

Thus, they completely lost the best and last chance to open the Tombstone Gate.

Now, this Necrons fleet will either achieve their goals or be completely destroyed in the Isen system, and there is no other way to go.

The commander of the Imperial Navy also noticed this. He got the opportunity to completely annihilate the Necrons fleet, but there was no joy on the face of the Imperial Navy Admiral.

He looked at the alien fleet that came back with a solemn expression, and his eyebrows were tightly knitted together.

All experienced hunters know that giving up the prey for survival is the most dangerous.

Once the hunter is blinded by the upcoming victory, the beast's counterattack at the moment of death will become a lesson he will never forget.

Thanks to the virtual beacon, the huge galaxy warp gate opened in the Ishen galaxy makes the Ishen galaxy and the Geno galaxy dozens of light years away seem to overlap.

The Empire's fleet can travel back and forth between the two galaxies at any time, and the logistics fleet will also bring a steady stream of supplies.

This great advantage of being almost invincible in the war gave the Admiral a little comfort, so that his heart was not filled with anxiety.

"Commander, the Regent has safely landed at the estimated coordinates of the Ishen world."

A mechanical priest in charge of collecting battlefield data looked up and said to the Admiral.

The Admiral nodded, his eyes still on the star map, thinking about the purpose of the Necromancer fleet's return.

He is an experienced general who has driven hundreds of giant ships to gallop across the galaxy. He has participated in countless epic holy wars, such as Guilliman's Indomitable Crusade, the Battle of Baal, the Battle of Nurgle Heaven, etc.

Now he is responsible for commanding the space battle of the Ishen galaxy, and the huge Imperial fleet is driven by him in the name of Guilliman.

"Collect as much data as possible about the Necrons fleet. We must predict their true intentions in advance."

The flames of war are still raging.

From the appearance of the war, the destruction of the Necrons fleet is inevitable.

The Necrons, whose computing power far exceeds that of the Empire, cannot fail to predict this. That is why their behavior is extremely abnormal.

The admiral hates all abnormalities on the battlefield, because it represents unpredictable war results.

It also means that he may lose his grasp of victory without knowing it.

Unfortunately, before the Necrons really revealed their intentions, the admiral could never have imagined that the target of these aliens was the Primarch of the Empire.

"As you wish, Commander." The intelligence director behind a row of machines shouted.

The equipment kept humming, dispelling the noisy voices of the people in the main control room.

Time passed little by little.

A large amount of collected information was transmitted to the command hub.

The admiral looked at the holographic projection in front of him. The image was a little blurry at first, but after flashing a few times, it gradually focused and was as clear as if it was right in front of him.

He looked at the scene in front of him, blinking his eyes quickly.

This mortal general used all his war experience and talent at this moment to try to analyze the enemy's next move.

Although the Necrons have unimaginable computing power, as long as their next move can be analyzed, the prediction of each subsequent step will become easier.

In order to achieve this goal, the admiral put on the milky white bracelet-shaped "psychic sensor" on his wrist.

He began to use the computing power of the virtual world to assist him in analyzing the results in front of him.

The technological revolution promoted by Dukel has brought about changes that are not only reflected in combat units. After this technological reform, both the people's livelihood of the empire and the auxiliary calculations of the commander can benefit from it.

If the Necrons are a powerful race that has completed mechanical ascension, then today's human empire has almost reached the border of "psychic ascension".

Because the Necrons are far from their heyday, most of their technological weapons are still in a dusty state, so in the confrontation with humans, even if the two armies are of the same size, they are often evenly matched.

Before the powerful Necrons Empire revived, it was difficult for them to gain a decisive advantage in the war against the Human Empire.

With the blessing of the virtual network, the commander was given top-notch computing power, and the millions of heroes in the virtual realm would also give him advice.

When human wills are linked together, their potential for explosion is endless.

"Why did the Necrons fleet outside the galaxy stop supporting the Ethan galaxy?"

The Imperial Admiral keenly noticed a flaw in the Necrons' tactics in the chaotic space battlefield.

"Has this alien fleet been abandoned?" He muttered to himself.

From the perspective of the battle situation, it is true. The Necrons outside the galaxy stopped supporting, and the fleet trapped inside the Ethan galaxy seemed to have completely abandoned the Ethan world. They even stopped attacking the ground battlefield where Guilliman was.

Their action of abandoning the ground battlefield in Esen was like giving up the struggle completely.

"But if they gave up, why did they give up the opportunity to evacuate and turn back?" A wise man in the Empire's virtual realm asked the admiral through a telepathic sensor at this time.

"This is exactly what I haven't figured out yet." The admiral whispered and talked to the wise man in the virtual realm, "If the enemy is a flesh and blood creature of other races, I have already thought that their command was wrong. But we are facing those mechanical undead. I have fought with them before, and they will never make such a low-level mistake."

Just when the admiral was confused.

"Commander, the parameters are fluctuating abnormally." The technical priest of the Mechanicus suddenly noticed some problems at this moment.

The priest's machine body was buzzing, and the indicator light on it was constantly jumping.

The admiral looked at him, hoping to get key information from him.

"The Undead Fleet suddenly sent out a small number of spaceships. Why did they go in that direction?" The Mechanical Priest said to himself in confusion.

"What is there? Stars? Are they going to do something to the stars? Ohm Messiah, how is this possible!"

Hearing the chaotic whispers of the Mechanical Priest who seemed to have a module disorder, the Imperial Admiral also looked puzzled.

"Maybe there is a possibility." The wise man in the Void suddenly said at this moment, "The Necrons may want to detonate the star and destroy everything in the Ethan Galaxy. Yes, the Regent is still here, it is worth it for them to do so. If they can use a fleet to replace an Imperial Primarch, the Necrons will not miss this opportunity."

"How is this possible?!" The Admiral exclaimed.

Even for the Human Empire after the technological innovation, it is very difficult to do such a thing. The simplest way is to mobilize multiple top psychics in the Void to cast spells together and use the power of the Void to achieve the purpose of detonating the star.

But the Necrons are a race that relies entirely on technology.

The admiral was only a mortal after all. With less than a hundred years of life experience, he could not imagine that technology could reach the level of being on par with gods - with only a small number of spaceships, a star could be detonated.

"It is indeed possible." The virtual world wise man directly poured the information into his brain, "I have consulted the knowledge in the virtual world, and it is indeed recorded in the virtual world that the space dead spirits have such technology - perhaps the legendary "brilliant star map", or something else."

A huge amount of information went straight to the admiral's mind, and he digested it all in just a moment.

When he learned about the existence of the brilliant star map, the admiral's eyes suddenly widened, but his pupils shrank to the size of a pinhole - it was a weapon that could arbitrarily detonate any star in the galaxy.

It was created by the space dead spirits, which could truly bring disaster to the galaxy, and it was a technological weapon that could not be described by artifacts.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the dead spirit dynasty that controls the "brilliant star map" claims to be the guardian of the galaxy and will not easily use this weapon.

Once upon a time, the Great Speaker Lorgar tried to snatch this weapon to achieve his ulterior motives, but the guards of the two dynasties immediately cleared the eyes of the Primarch.

Since then, the Great Speaker has never thought of snatching the Brilliant Star Map again.

Otherwise, the entire human empire will be unable to sleep or eat because of this.

This information caused a great psychological impact on the admiral, and even made him doubt himself-if such a weapon exists in the galaxy, then what is the meaning of their existence as commanders and soldiers?

However, his high quality made him calm down in just a moment. The commander took a deep breath,

"These are just speculations at present." His voice was firm, "But no matter what their purpose is, we must not let the regent take any risks. Immediately convey this speculation to the Imperial Regent and implore him to withdraw from the Isen system immediately for the empire."

"Start the Imperial Spark and stop the Necrons' ships. Whether they really want to do so or not, they must not let this undead formation get close to the star!"

The admiral made the most correct decision in an instant.

He didn't know the true intentions of the Necrons, but he had to protect the safety of Regent Guilliman. The dawn of humanity was coming. These mortals might be destined to go to hell, but the Primarch of the Empire must not fall before dawn.

And he would do his best to stop the actions of the Necrons.

The Necrons fleet's speed was not fast. These ancient undead had the technology of superluminal navigation.

But they dared not use it inside the stars. The strong gravity of the stars would cause the set flight path to deviate, resulting in unpredictable consequences.

Therefore, this fleet of ships only sailed towards the stars in the Esen star field at sub-light speed.

But the distance within the star system was too small.

Even if it sailed at sub-light speed, the time calculated by the Thinker's computer for the spacecraft to reach the star was only twelve minutes.

This time was not even as long as the interval between the main guns of the battleship firing once.

The aiming of the macro cannon and the charging of the laser weapon required time to prepare.

The only thing that could stop the undead spacecraft was the 'Imperial Spark'.

The Imperial Spark is a completely idealistic psychic weapon. The force field emitted from it can even modify the laws of the material field and instantly reach the speed of light.

And the energy compressed by the invisible force field can almost destroy most of the matter in the universe.

When such a weapon moves at superluminal speed, nothing can stop the Spark that symbolizes the hope of the Empire.

Even the energy shield of the Necrons will be burned through by the Spark like rotten paper.

It can be said that in the space battle, the Empire does not even have a more powerful and precise weapon than the Spark.

The Imperial fleet quickly recovered the Imperial Spark that was still killing people on the battlefield of the Esen star field and assigned them new tasks.

In the superluminal action, the naked eye cannot see the existence of the Spark at all. The Necrons' detection equipment may be able to detect it, but it cannot effectively intercept it.

Even if their weapons lock on the Spark, it will be useless.

Even if it hits, it is difficult to cause effective damage to the Spark.

Under the impact of the sparks, the number of Necrons' ships on the star map dimmed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Every moment, 3 to 5 ships bloomed into gorgeous but silent fireworks in the universe.

The fleet was destroyed at a speed visible to the naked eye. It only took a few collisions to completely destroy a ship belonging to the undead.

But the admiral's expression did not relax because of this.

In the star map, even if the Necrons paid such a huge price, they did not give up the move to get closer to the star.

The Necrons' computing hub even divided more ships, rushed to the star, and began to speed up desperately.

Even if these ships deviated from the established route or collided with meteorites, it would not matter.

Such a crazy move made the admiral's face completely gloomy.

Because this means that their guess is correct.

And this is also the result that the commander of the Imperial Fleet least wants to see.
