The Emperor’s Angel of Death

Chapter 2968: Vengeance Flash

One is the leader of the Phoenix Guard, and the other is a heroic spirit from an ancient empire. Facing each other, after a moment of stillness, the heroic spirit took the lead in raising the sword above his head, the blade shining silver in the sacred fire of Asuryan.

Just as Duran was fully on guard, the opponent disappeared, but the Everburning Blade was also extraordinary. He suddenly turned around and blocked the roaring greatsword with the tail of his war halberd. The huge force shook him back half a step, then he raised his arm and slashed the war halberd towards the opponent, but the armor was extraordinarily flexible, jumping away like a dancer, and immediately rushed up again, the blade waving in the armor's hand, the grip changing more than a dozen times in a few seconds, the long sword making a piercing sound in the complicated movements, so fast that even the seers could hardly see it with the naked eye.

"Did he use psychic power just now to teleport directly behind Duran?"

Amidst the clanging of metal, Soshian suddenly asked softly, and Veronica replied:

"Yes, he teleported directly behind Duran. He can actually use psychic power."

"Alright!"

Soshian raised his hand, and the two fighting warriors stopped at the same time. Being able to fight Duran for more than a dozen rounds, this thing's combat power is already amazing.

Then he looked at Madell.

"Nether constructs require soul guides to control and guide them. They don't seem to need them?"

"No, nether constructs need soul guides because the souls of the dead are not strong enough and can only see a blurred world, but these souls are strong enough to see both worlds. However, to prevent them from being damaged in battle, someone needs to hold a soul lamp nearby, with a wick made of soul stones. When they are completely shattered, their souls will be collected into it and brought back to the shrine for reforging."

"I see. Hmm."

Soshian turned around and looked at the Star Disaster and other seers.

"What are your opinions?"

"Your Majesty, Your Highness."

Patricia took the lead in bowing.

"These are the heroic spirits of our ancestors, representing the most glorious and prosperous era of our race. If they are used as unconscious war machines... the people may not understand, and residents of other arks and barbaric worlds will spread rumors. I hope Your Majesty will think twice."

"Ms. Patricia, I do not agree with this statement."

Star Disaster also stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, the Great Fall almost destroyed our race. Countless compatriots died tragically, and their souls were devoured by the great enemy. What a blood feud! What a resentment! From the time I can remember, I grit my teeth and my heart aches every time I think of this! We descendants are still like this, so what about these ancestral heroic spirits? I think, if they still have a trace of consciousness, then there must be only one thought: revenge!"

As he spoke, Star Disaster actually walked straight to that living armor, staring at the spiritual fire burning under the helmet.

"That's right, revenge! Revenge! Only revenge!"

The next second, the armor suddenly raised the sword in its hand, and a flame symbolizing blood color spread on the sword, as if responding to Star Disaster's words.

Star Disaster suddenly turned around, looking at Patricia with a look of astonishment.

"Ms. Patricia, what they want is not sleep, not peace, but revenge! Only revenge! This is their will. They are not war machines, they are our race's Vengeance Flash(复仇闪灵: Vengeance Specter)!"

"Good, good, good."

Soshian clapped his hands lightly, saying three good words in a row.

"Vengeance Flash(复仇闪灵: Vengeance Specter), aptly named, yes, these Aeldari ancestral heroic spirits represent the will of the royal court to avenge the eternal enemy. I believe all citizens will understand and accept it. Madell, just follow your plan."

"Yes."

"But I still have a question, how should they be commanded? According to you, they have no consciousness."

"The Fire of Asuryan, they were reforged from the sacred fire, so whether it is the Phoenix Guard, or you, or me, can transmit instructions."

"Oh?"

Soshian looked at the Vengeance Flash(复仇闪灵: Vengeance Specter). After concentrating, he indeed heard a slight crackling sound of flames in his ears, but as Madell said, there was nothing when he delved deeper.

"I understand."

At this moment, Star Disaster suddenly said:

"Your Highness, I hope you will not put yourself in danger for the sake of the Vengeance Flash(复仇闪灵: Vengeance Specter). Compared to the ancestral heroic spirits, you are more important to us."

Obviously, Star Disaster was worried that Soshian would carry out some dangerous plan in order to rescue more ancient souls. After hearing this, Soshian smiled slightly.

"Star Disaster, rest assured, I'm not that stupid."

"Then should this matter be well publicized?"

Veronica said this, and Soshian was stunned, because he found that this matter seemed impossible to explain in detail.

Just like now, the seers are all looking at him. After all, he has been very vague about this matter from beginning to end. He has not really given an explanation as to how these ancestral heroic spirits came and how he met Slaanesh.

"This matter, um..."

At this time, the 'considerate' Dolar came over and said softly:

"Your Highness, I believe that publicity should be done with some appropriate adaptations."

Saying adaptations is actually fabricating, anyway, as long as the result is there, others will not care too much about the process.

Soshian's eyes lit up slightly. Sure enough, the most considerate is this one, nodding and saying:

"Well, this matter will be left to you, dear."

Of course, there was more than this one thing that made Soshian return to the royal court.

"...Tyranids, as life forms that have achieved mechanical control efficiency, are very troublesome opponents even for humans who once had glorious technology, especially since they also possess powerful psychic means. In a sense, it can almost be said that they combine the advantages of both the Aeldari and human races, especially that 100% material recovery and energy utilization efficiency, which actually violates general physical rules, but considering that they are in principle psychic creatures like the Aeldari, it is not surprising."

In a side hall decorated very warmly, Soshian sat on a chair with his arms crossed, looking at UR-025 opposite him, while Veronica was beside him, she had always been very curious about this Iron Man.

"So, are you telling me you can't do anything?"

"If you need a weapon that can directly defeat or even exterminate them, I don't have it here, but I must say that relying on one or two decisive weapons to win in war is actually a very dangerous extreme military adventurism—"

"Stop, stop, stop."

Frowning, Soshian raised his hand, and Veronica couldn't help but chuckle.

"You don't need to teach me the principles of war, okay? All I need is the result."

"I can provide some... relatively helpful things."

A small opening then appeared in UR-025's abdomen, and then a round metal sheet extended out, looking brand new and shiny.

Soshian on the throne raised his chin, a Phoenix Guard walked over, picked up the metal sheet, and turned to present it to Soshian.
