The black spire made of wraith bones is more indestructible than the strongest adamantium, but the firepower of the Blackstone Fortress is so powerful that it can easily destroy a planet. The mere wraith bone spiers cannot withstand the combined output of the two fortresses.

This is indeed the case. The cracking beam filled with chaotic energy swept through the dark tower body along the fracture trend, like a farmer's rake plowing through the soft soil, leaving a deep ravine, and the crystallized fragments were submerged in the etheric turbulence. Melting into the sea of ​​souls, the vanguard ships of the Gothic fleet have scattered around this dark spire. They waited in an enveloping formation for the Dark Eldar in the tower to scatter and flee the collapsing spire.

But then, the tower's collapse process came to an abrupt end.

The two black stone fortresses numbered 05 and 06 are still continuing to output, but the destructive effect of the cracking beam on the dark spire is no longer obvious - no, it is not that the effect is not obvious, but that it has no effect at all.

The surging torrent of energy was a deadly javelin thrown by the original body. It penetrated deeply into the body of the spirit bone tower that was blackened by the evil energy of chaos, breaking it in half. But now, the cracking stream shot out by the Blackstone Fortress is like water flowing into a bottomless pool, without causing any splash, and the collapse of the spire has completely stopped.

If it weren't for the broken spiritual bone spire slowly drifting out of the subspace rift in front of his eyes, the naval captain of the advance combat formation would have even doubted whether the previous devastating scene was an illusion.

"What on earth is going on...?" On the assault boat closest to the spire, the formation commander who took the lead looked at the shrinking subspace rift in front of him, wondering in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, a huge earthquake responded to his doubts.

Behind the Wraith Bone Spire, an ice crystal asteroid at the end of the gravitational influence of the Darnak system exploded. The broken ice crystals brittle and disintegrated under the interference of chaotic energy, and a large number of fragments scattered in all directions. Everyone who observed this fact quickly realized what had just happened.

The fission beam launched by the Blackstone Fortress passed directly through the Wraithbone Spire, destroying the ice crystal asteroid further away, but the Wraithbone Spire itself was not harmed in the process.

"The nova cannon, torpedoes, light spears, and all available long-range weapons are activated and the test firing begins." The captain made a decision immediately. As the command unit at the forefront, he has the power to formulate temporary combat strategies: " Regardless of the result, turn around and evacuate immediately after the weapon is fired. The enemy is suspected to be immune to the attack, so execute it immediately!"

As the captain's order was conveyed, a dozen light ships of the Gothic fleet's advance combat formation quickly aimed in the direction of the wraith spire, and successively launched long-range weapons such as torpedoes and light spears. Each small light spot floated towards the spire. direction.

These small warships used for reconnaissance and guerrilla purposes do not have much firepower, and the captain does not expect that their attacks will really cause any damage to this strange Eldar building. He only wanted to confirm one thing.

"The warhead did not detonate, Captain." The adjutant on the side reported: "Whether it was torpedoes, light spears, or nova cannons, all our types of long-range weapons failed to cause damage to the Eldar building. Compared with the void shield or The deflection field is different. The enemy did not resist or deflect our shells, but..."

"But our cannonballs passed through." The naval captain stared at the vast space in front of him. The base of the black spire has completely reached the real universe, and the subspace rift it tore has also been closed, but the wraith bone spire's base has completely reached the real universe. The surface of the city wall was still covered with an illusory halo, and the shy Elf girl covered her flower-like face with an ambiguous veil.

It was an ancient relic from the Ancient Eldar Empire, and its name was: Veil of the Void.

After a round of shooting, there was no trace of enthusiasm for fighting. The naval captain immediately led the advance team to retreat and merged with the main force of the Gothic fleet. He was not sure what this strange situation was about. All he could do at this moment was to act cautiously.

Turning the ship's bow, the radiance of stars shined straight into the portholes. The small reconnaissance fleet quickly returned, with the broken spirit bone spiers behind it looming in the empty space. The plasma thruster gently drew a faint flame tail at the end of the battleship, and the main ship of the Gothic Fleet in the distance was getting closer and closer.

"There seems to be something wrong..." The captain suddenly felt the danger instinctively, but before he could react, a sharp pain hit his waist. It was the power sword he placed on the table.

The deck underfoot was twisted and deformed, and the entire hull was overturned without weight. The small reconnaissance ship was torn from the middle, and a large number of objects poured out of the depressurized cabin.

In just an instant, the body of this veteran naval captain who had experienced many battles was riddled with holes from pens, cups, nuts and other objects, and the flesh and blood exposed in the vacuum directly exploded into a ball of blood mist.

"Enemy... attack..." Before dying, the captain failed to say the last two words.

The plasma reactors of the small ships were detonated in space one after another, exploding into a series of not dazzling fires. Many crew members were unable to see the true face of the attackers until they died. Only a few who had been transformed by prosthetics and wore prosthetic eyes. Only a few seconds before the ship exploded, a person could barely capture it, a faint shadow.

The transparent shadow was like a ghost, shuttling between the formations of the reconnaissance team and defeating the guerrillas one by one, without them noticing at all.

"Ha... you stupid monkeys, I'm afraid you won't understand who killed you until your death." In the base fortress of the Spirit Bone Spire, the elder of the blood-skinned Haemonculus secretly laughed secretly.

It was laughing at human beings' ignorance and arrogance, and at the funny way these monkeys were unaware of the impending disaster.

Guilliman's fleet docked in the sky above the main star Darnak and the hive capital Quintus and stood ready. The complete destruction of the reconnaissance team made them even more vigilant. But this kind of vigilance is meaningless, because the battle ships of the Dark Eldar have already touched their faces.

There are groups of smart shadows hidden between the illusory curtains, and they are already approaching within 1,000 kilometers of Danax Star Port.

That is the effect of the 'Void Veil', whether it is covering oneself with the curtain of subspace to block all damage from the real universe, or covering oneself under the veil to block conventional auspices and electromagnetic phased arrays mounted on imperial warships. The scans are all the effect of this ancient spiritual relic called the 'Void Veil'.

If conventional subspace navigation is like diving into the deep sea and swimming forward, then the effect of the Void Veil is to allow the ship to paddle in the shallows of the Sea of ​​Souls. Although the dive is not deep, it is enough to shield most of the sea. The routine from the physical universe hurts.

It was a technology developed by the Eldar during the War in Heaven to fight against the Star Gods and Necrontyrs. It was used to counteract the ridiculously high-damage decomposition weapons and energy shocks of the Necrons and Star Gods. Now it is used against humans. It is true that he is wielding a dragon-slaying knife to kill a chicken.

"But who makes these chickens so annoying?" Elder Xue Lingren chuckled.

A team of sharp knives has already rushed in front of the Ultramarines' flagship Macragge's Glory on a small strike force covered with a void veil. The well-equipped Dark Eldar war wizards in the cabin are already eager to try.

It would be easy to detonate the ship directly with powerful ancient relics, but it would be more in line with their wishes to cut off the head of the original body with their own hands and bring the skull of the Emperor's Children back to Commorragh.
