In the past 300 years of the Milky Way, Russell has been considered by many to be the embodiment of war and killing. The star bomber displayed boundless killing in the endless sea of ​​stars. Wherever his footsteps go, he will always be burning. Wherever the flames of war burn.

Mountains and rivers are broken, all life is reduced to ashes, the starry sky is dyed red with alien blood, and the sky is washed with demonic tears. This is the image of the Star-Buster in the minds of most people who know him.

Most of the time, Russell's actions fit this image, such as now.

When Russell's small, fast mobile fleet arrived at a remote galaxy called the 'Unmanned Market' in the northern part of the Obscure Star Territory, this nook and cranny that no one cared about had been completely destroyed by the war.

The remains of living metal bodies scrapped by Gaussian weapons are drifting in the orbit of the tomb world. The inertia-free engines push starships that are as curved as crescents to swim in No Man's Sky, disappearing and looming like ghosts. The majestic tomb spiers revealed the tip of the iceberg from the phase space, but all they could see were wreckage.

Gray Feng saw a huge, hollow celestial body floating quietly in the empty space of the unmanned market, like an empty bowl the size of a planet.

"Those are fragments of the tomb world." Russell said softly: "Some kind of powerful attack exploded a planet. The tomb hidden inside was wiped out, leaving only the outer rock shell floating in the air."

Gray Wind nodded, and the tachyon sensor and the psychic sensor alternately scanned the entire galaxy, but no biological reactions other than the Necrons were found.

It was obvious that the devastation in front of us was caused by the Necron civil war.

There are a total of 15 planets in the 'Unmanned Market' galaxy, 3 of which are undead tomb worlds. Now all three planets have been exploded, leaving only a piece of ruins floating in the original planet orbit. Due to the loss of mechanical maintenance and large equipment support, these debris are approaching each other due to the effect of gravity, and slowly and naturally gather into a ball shape.

"All three tomb worlds were destroyed by the undead civil war. I don't know if the Star God fragment we are looking for is still there." Gray Feng was a little worried that his trip was in vain.

"Turn on the psychic invisibility field, let's go in and take a look." Russell said nonchalantly.

With that said, he sat on the mechanical throne densely connected with countless cables in the center of the mobile fleet flagship command room.

As Russell's buttocks came into contact with the throne, the device with a mixed structure of spiritual bone and machinery began to directly extract spiritual energy from his body to supply the entire starship. When the 'psionic dust combustion chamber' was not ignited at all, Russell People have provided a huge amount of spiritual energy that is more than enough to run all the spiritual equipment on the entire flagship at full power.

"It's so strong... a very strong psychic power... It's like ten thousand Alpha level psykers burning themselves together with the ultimate power, the final state... Even so, it's hard to match the leader's current power, right?"

The monk from the Department of Psychic Energy who is responsible for maintaining the energy transmission line lamented the huge energy level value flowing through the line in front of him every second. He was a little disappointed: "In the face of such a powerful personal power, we usually continue to invest a lot of time and resources, and use A large number of people continue to research psychic energy-related technologies and constantly optimize the combustion utilization rate of psychic dust... What is the point?"

When a person's physical strength is strong enough to move mountains and reclaim seas, what's the use of those huge and heavy cranes?

"Of course it is useful." Russell noticed the monk's confusion and said lightly:

"Personal power is not a force that can be relied on for a long time. Perhaps the emperor's ten thousand years of sitting on the golden throne have made you accustomed to strongman politics that emphasizes obedience and following. But have you ever thought that nothing in the world is everlasting? s things."

"If one day, the Emperor sits up in shock from his dying illness on the Golden Throne and turns into something you never know or understand, what will happen to the human empire that is accustomed to relying on Him, relying on Him, and worshiping Him?"

As soon as these words came out, the face of the monk from the Psionics Department suddenly changed, and his voice trembled: "Leader, you, you mean, the emperor...the emperor...?"

Russell chuckled: "It's just an analogy. What I really want to say is, don't regard the strength of others as a reason for your own failure, because it is others who are strong, not you."

My psychic energy is indeed powerful enough to keep the equipment of an entire fleet running with one hand, but if you neglect the storage of psychic dust and the maintenance of equipment, then when I leave or something unexpected happens, you will then have to Who to rely on?

No, the only thing you can rely on from beginning to end is the psychic technology and spell-casting technology that you truly understand and master.

"Okay..." He lowered his head.

While talking and laughing, the huge psychic power was squeezed out of Russell's body, and was transported to all parts of the battleship from the mechanical throne under his butt. The psychic field generators installed in each corner of the flagship began to operate, and the psychic invisibility field was unified. A thin layer of gauze fell slowly, completely hiding the entire starship.

One after another, small destroyers and quick-response frigates entered the coverage area of ​​the stealth field and stuck to the side of Russell's flagship, like pieces of barnacle-like parasites clinging to the surface of a whale. Under the cover of the psychic stealth field, The fleet sailed into the 'Unmanned Market', which had been scorched by the undead civil war.

In the galaxy, the remaining Necron ships are still at war with each other. With the help of super maneuvers without inertia engines, their ships fly without any trajectory or predictable route. This directly causes both sides of the war to collectively become a hull outline. Master Bian often pulls in space for several weeks before he can damage one side of the enemy ship's thruster.

Then in the following weeks of pulling and pulling, the damage that was finally caused was repaired by the self-healing properties of living metal and the underworld beetle.

"Is it necessary to continue fighting when the war is like this..." Russell, as a bystander, was speechless.

Gray Wind said while scanning the undead corpses collected by drones from around the fragments of the tomb world: "The weapons of mass destruction of this undead dynasty have been destroyed and exhausted in the previous civil war. They have now been Having lost the ability to launch large-scale wars, only these few living metal warships are still fighting endlessly."

"What grudges are there? They won't give up after fighting like this." Russell was a little curious. It was obviously a dynastic civil war, but how could it be similar to the human empire fighting aliens?

The planet has exploded, the tombs have been bulldozed, and all the wealth is gone. One of you and I must die today.

Gray Wind finished scanning a living metal corpse and then invaded the next one.

She said seriously: "The data centers of these corpses have suffered devastating blows. It is speculated that they were fatal injuries caused by the nerve crushing guns of the 'Death Mark' snipers. The memory data stored in them are incomplete, and the truth of the matter has also been revealed." Not quite."

Death Mark is a high-level special unit in the Necron system. They have a portable pocket phase-shifting device. They usually hide in the pocket dimension they carry with them to observe the battlefield, find a suitable position, and use the nerve crusher to kill with one hit. Guns deliver critical hits to high value targets.

——The above is an ideal situation. In fact, Deathmark snipers are generally used by the Necron ruling class to kill nobles. There may be more Necrontyrs and Necron killed by the nerve crusher than Eldar and humans combined.

"Ah, this corpse was killed by an overloaded energy core, and its data center is relatively intact." Gray Wind's surprised voice came from the side of the throne, and then she invaded the data processing center of the wreckage.

Then, the truth about the civil war in the unmanned market emerged.

"This civil war is a battle of routes. About half a year ago, 'Burner Anrakil', who was promoted to Star God, came to this galaxy. He proposed to the King of the Crown World to exchange a copy of the 'Ascension Agreement' stored in Burner fragments within that world.”

"The Pharaoh agreed to Anrakil's request, and Anrakil successfully obtained the fragments of the Burner to further complete himself, and then left. The Pharaoh began to study the Ascension Protocol with great concentration, and it tried to invade the territory controlled by his dynasty. The body of another Star God fragment, 'The Ruler Zahurash', upgrades myself to a Star God."

"But the other two tomb worlds in the galaxy do not support the Emperor's decision. They claim that the so-called Ascension Agreement and the Seizing of the Star God are just another lies about the biological transformation. The Emperor after seizing the Star God is not the same as the original Emperor. It won't be the same person, they are firmly opposed to the 'ascension' route."

"So the Crown World, which supported the Ascension Agreement, and the other two Tomb Worlds, which opposed the Ascension Agreement, began an endless civil war. This was an irreconcilable battle of lines."

"The current French Emperor is still studying the Ascension Agreement in the ruins of the Crown World. This is a conflict between the Ascensionists and the Conservatives, and also a deadly fight between the Royalists and the Military Group."
