The Emperor’s Angel of Death

"The Crippled King."

Sorskyan paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, then suddenly realized something and looked at Andaer.

Although the current Chapter Master of the Tiger Claws Chapter looked calm, Sorskyan still saw something - Andaer was an ambitious man, he must be unwilling to live under someone else's roof, and the Tiger Claws he created could not really become vassals of the Star Knights. His mention of these things now is to lay the groundwork for leading the chapter to develop in the Jericho Sector in the future.

Although the Achilles Crusade is an unhealed wound for the Empire, the severe war situation and complex forces, coupled with Andaer's own network of relationships established during the Achilles Crusade, make that complex war zone a suitable base for the currently "semi-illegal" Tiger Claws.

After all, only fools would deplete themselves in a war of attrition, while smart people would find opportunities in it, and Andaer is such a smart person.

Thinking of this, Sorskyan smiled slightly.

"Sounds like a Necron Phaeron."

Although Andaer had served in the Deathwatch, the Deathwatch's understanding of the Necrons was not much better than that of an ordinary Mechanicus priest, and they knew nothing about their internal system. Therefore, when Sorskyan said the title "Phaeron", Andaer seemed a little surprised.

"Phaeron? Is that their unique term for king?"

"This race often gathers in the form of dynasties. A large dynasty will have many tomb worlds. The Overlords manage these tomb worlds. You can understand them as kings. But at the same time, the dynasty will also have a Crownworld, which is the master of the entire dynasty, the Phaeron. They are difficult to detect during their slumber, and once they wake up, there will be a lot of movement. But from your description, those Necrons seem to have found a way to cover up the movement of their awakening."

Andaer stroked his chin and nodded slightly.

"It seems possible that the Necrons operating in the Jericho Sector are relatively cautious."

"If there really is a potentially awakening Necron dynasty in the Jericho Sector... I don't think it should be ignored, but the strength of the Deathwatch is too weak."

Instead of waiting for Andaer to bring it up, Sorskyan simply made it clear.

"Brother Andaer, you have served in that area for hundreds of years, and you have advantages in terms of familiarity with the situation and interpersonal networks. If you plan to lead the Tiger Claws back there to develop in the future, I am willing to give you a fleet and an armory as assistance in fighting the Necrons."

Hearing Sorskyan say this, Andaer's face was a little embarrassed. He gave a dry laugh and said:

"The Tiger Claws are not yet ready to be seen in public, and there are not many people. They are all recruits. I still need to take them to train for some time. This is too far away..."

"There is nothing we can't say between us. You are an excellent commander and political expert. Going there can play a greater role than staying here. I am not a narrow-minded person. As long as we can fight against the Necrons and other enemies of mankind, some external things are nothing."

Agreeing to the Tiger Claws Chapter going to the Jericho Sector to develop in the future does feel like making wedding clothes for them in the short term, but from the perspective of fully fighting against the Necrons in the future, this may have miraculous effects. At worst, it can have an intelligence channel on the edge of the Extreme Sector. That area is also where the Necrons often appear. The Eldar's intelligence is needed, and human intelligence is also needed. Combining the two can reveal some easily overlooked clues.

Afterwards, Sorskyan asked Andaer where he planned to take the recruits for training, and the other party replied that he planned to conduct adaptive training on the planet first, and in a year or two, he would conduct combat training with the Eleventh Legion.

After returning to the Naiton Star System for some time, news from the Eternal Court attracted Sorskyan's attention again. Some important matters forced him to return to the Garden of Eden through the hidden portal in the monastery fortress.

One of the major events was that, with the assistance of the Court's power, Moganla finally found his lost homeland, the Craftworld of Autansa.

The Autansa Craftworld is the sister ship of the Uswe Craftworld. It is a very small Craftworld. They survived the birth of Slaanesh and were not buried with the ancient Eldar Empire, but were sucked into the Eye of Terror.

During this isolated period, this Craftworld has been facing the onslaught of Chaos alone. It was this difficult time that forever changed the residents of the Autansa Craftworld. They became a fully militarized system with universal conscription. There are no longer any non-combatant path. All Eldar must receive military training from the time they are sensible. At the same time, they will work hard to find the relics of the former Eldar Empire, obtain powerful relics and holy objects from them to fight against the enemy, and change the color of their armor to reddish-purple to always remind them of the sea of blood shed in the defense of the Craftworld against Chaos invasion and the bones of their ancestral warriors.

Moganla was able to find the Autansa Craftworld because the Craftworld encountered a terrible invasion. A Khorne warband united with a Daemon Prince vowed to take this treasure into their possession. The skulls offered by destroying an entire Craftworld would even be enough for the champion to gain Khorne's favor and ascend to daemonhood. To this end, they planned for a long time and specifically found an opportunity when the Craftworld's protection system was weakened due to warp storms to launch a swift invasion.

After breaking through the shield formed by the Craftworld's protection runes, the Khorne champion also summoned a Bloodthirster and its Bloodletter legion with a contract. Faced with such an offensive, the Autansa Craftworld, which had supported itself in a harsh environment for tens of thousands of years, was obviously exhausted. Its only remaining seers could only try their best to send out a distress signal. In the past, the Craftworld did not dare to do so even when it encountered danger, because before the psychic signal was received by other similar people, it was more likely to be received by various Chaos heroes with malicious intentions, but at the critical moment of life and death, they couldn't care so much.

As a result, the first to receive the signal was not Moganla, but Veronica, because the Craftworld was located near an ancient maiden world, and that world happened to have an abandoned Shrine of Isha. As a result, the seers' psychic signal accidentally activated the main sacrificial brazier in the shrine, and Veronica happened to be resting. Under some kind of traction, she heard Autansa's cry for help and immediately woke up.

Veronica contacted Moganla as soon as possible and described the cry for help she heard in her dream. Moganla immediately determined that this was the distress message from her hometown and was about to set off to rescue. However, Veronica calmly stopped the other party. She told Moganla that Autansa was in the Eye of Terror where the webway was broken. To go to the rescue, it would probably be too late to reach them by walking that way.
