They were huge buildings that resembled pyramids. The whole structure was made of some unknown material that looked like metal or rock. It broke into the macroscopic field of view of the tachyon sensor in a very counter-intuitive way.

The planet that Bernadita scanned was originally an ordinary, barren rocky planet. When the binary star system in the center of the galaxy was detonated by the bombers, the planet was destroyed along with other celestial bodies in the galaxy. Swallowed by flares;

But because it runs in the outermost ring of the galaxy, it is least affected by the flare. Only a thick layer of carbonized crystals filled with deadly radiation is melted out on the surface of the star.

The huge and dense pyramid-shaped dark buildings just stood quietly next to the planetary orbit completely covered by carbonized crystals, rubbing against the soles of their feet together with the gravity of Newton's coffin.

At such a close distance, these strange buildings floating in the vacuum should have been captured by the gravity of the carbonized planet and fell into the star.

In such a poor location, if the black pyramid building complex had been hidden here from the beginning, how could the building complex that was almost attached to the face of the planet remain unscathed when the planet around it was engulfed by the destructive flare?

No, not unscathed.

Zooming in closer, Bernati Tower could see that the largest pyramid in the complex had no spire. The damaged building structure seemed to have been broken by something from the inside out.

All these phenomena are so unreasonable, but they are all true.

The Oracle of Truth, which was surveying the surroundings of another broken planet in the galaxy, also noticed something unusual here, and brought the accompanying Tribunal ships closer to the Ark of Elysium.

Around the sudden appearance of the dark pyramid complex, there are still a few shipwrecks floating around that can be easily recognized as belonging to the Human Empire.

"Strange, we should have salvaged all the shipwrecks here long ago..." Bernadita couldn't help but wonder.

Just when she was wondering, the black pyramid in front of her suddenly flashed and disappeared.

"What?"

All the ships heading here witnessed this bizarre scene, but just as Bernadita rubbed her eyes, the black pyramids appeared again.

Disappear, appear, disappear, appear...

Like a short-circuited light bulb that keeps turning on and off, the black pyramids located in the orbit of the carbonized crystal planet also switch back and forth between the two states of "existence" and "non-existence", constantly flashing.

As the Oracle of Truth approaches, the frequency of virtual and real flashes in front becomes faster and faster, and more and more intensive, and a certain limit seems to be approaching.

"Alien ruins? Ancient buildings? Or?... You have to report this matter to the leader."

Upon seeing this, several truth monks on board the Ark of Bliss and the Oracle of Truth quickly understood the seriousness of the situation.

On both battlecruisers, there are four "preachers" who have completed integrated prosthetic transformations. With the efficient thinking and action capabilities given by quantum neural connections, they control the ship to activate the dark matter deflection shield. and psychic shield, proceeding cautiously. At the same time, he activated the super-light communication array installed in the ship and sent all the scenes scanned by the sensors back to Faya.

Ahead, the black pyramid group's virtual and real flashing frequency was extremely dense.

The next moment, a blazing particle whip hit the shield of the nearest Ark of Elysium.

The entire hull was shaken by this powerful energy attack and trembled slightly, but under the burning of high-quality psychic dust, the psychic shield successfully distorted and eliminated the attack.

"Repay! We were attacked by unknown enemies!"

Just as Bernadita was about to turn around and organize a counterattack, she saw that several preachers on the ship had already connected their brains to the battleship's control system.

"The tachyon sensor cannot capture the target instantly, and the enemy moves faster than the speed of light."

"Link to the precognition interface, activate the psychic divination array, and try to predict where the enemy will appear next."

"Authorize activation of all weapons, fire after 2 seconds."

In just two seconds after the weapon system was activated, the ghostly pulse attack and particle whip attacked all the ships present without distinction. The power was so fierce and the attack was so fast that some of the larger Inquisition ships were It can also barely resist with the void shield turned on at full power. Once some small reconnaissance aircraft are bumped into, they have no choice but to be shot down.

Only two battlecruisers equipped with psychic shields and dark matter deflector shields could receive such an attack unscathed.

However, even so, in the face of elusive attacks from all directions, the mental pressure of the sailors on the ship was extremely heavy - they were an investigation team, and both the shipboard weapon specifications and engine power were far inferior to those of military warships, let alone Now they can't even see the attacker's true face, they just blindly use the void shield to be beaten passively.

Then, dozens of torpedoes and gamma lasers converge on the same point in the vacuum, exploding into a beautiful but meaningless space firework.

The first round of attacks launched by Bliss Ark failed.

This is not because the coordinates provided by the precognition interface are not accurate enough, nor is it because the preachers' reactions are not fast enough, but because the enemy's speed is unreasonably fast.

"Return, it is basically confirmed that the target's moving speed exceeds the speed of light, and the moving trajectory is also very weird. Inertia seems to be non-existent for it. When it avoids our attack, its turning radius is an extremely acute angle of only 15°. How is this? possible……"

On the Oracle of Truth, Listia frowned on the table. In front of her was the blurry image captured in the fleeting moment from the Ark of Paradise - that is, Only a top-of-the-line warship like the Ark of Paradise, with all its facilities that have been upgraded many times, can capture such a swift target. If it had been an ordinary fleet of the Human Empire, it would have been in chaos at this moment.

Dozens of torpedoes in flight and lasers intercepted in mid-flight are projected on the holographic display, and in the center of the screen, all attacks are locked on the same target:

It was a black battleship with a very strange shape. It looked like a dark crescent moon and a curved scythe flying in space. The moment this "scythe" appeared, it immediately left its original position.

It performs super-light maneuvers using a technology that completely violates the principles of mechanics, and can instantly stop at the speed of light and become completely still. After launching a short attack, it instantly accelerates to super-light speed. To it, inertia is like Like something that doesn't exist.

"Madam Judge, I have bad news and good news here. Which one do you want to hear first?" Listia said in the communication channel.

"Now is not the time for joking." Under the tense battle situation, Bernadita was in no mood to play around with the young girl.

"Okay." Listia wisely did not continue and said directly: "The bad news is that after our survey and evaluation, the technological level of the warships that attacked us is quite high, especially the maneuverability, which completely overwhelmed all of us. All combat ships."

"The good news is that just because I have seen through this super-light maneuver that ignores inertia, I can conclude: Even though we are being attacked from all directions now, in fact, the enemy is far from matching this huge momentum. To be precise, there were actually only two warships that attacked us. Their hulls were about the size of a destroyer, and their firepower was also very limited."

Although there were not many in number, relying on powerful ultra-high-speed maneuvers, just two battleships gave them the feeling of being surrounded on all sides.

Is this good news? I feel like I'm being kited unparalleled.

After knowing the exact number of enemies, Bernadita felt that her face was dull. In addition to the Ark of Paradise and the Oracle of Truth, there were 34 ships of various sizes gathered here. Even though their combat power specifications were overwhelming, they had a crushing advantage. Being crushed in reverse, each ship's nerves were tense due to the incomprehensible high-speed attack.

Small ships are being shot down one after another, and the situation of the big ships is better. A void shield with sufficient power can still hold up in a short time...

You can't stand it!

Seeing the two battlecruisers becoming more and more proficient in dealing with this high-speed attack that ignores inertia, the preachers' brains with computing power comparable to quantum computers are constantly reading from the attack tracks captured by the tachyon sensors. By conducting integrated calculations and summarizing the rules, the prediction interface and the psychic divination array are becoming more and more accurate in predicting the movements of this mysterious enemy.

The unknown enemy in the battleship seems to have realized that if this continues, he will soon lose his mobility advantage, and the firepower of the Ark of Bliss and the Oracle of Truth will hit him with incomparable accuracy.

So the next time they appeared, two alien warships that looked like dark scythes rushed directly over the side of the Ark of Paradise, with the spacecraft touching its face.

"Alert! We are being attacked by a gang!"

"The enemy used some kind of twisted weapon to lift off the zero-element armor on the port side. All soldiers are ready to face the enemy!"

"They stuffed organized humanoid fighting machines into our cabin!"

Without saying a word, Bernadita pulled out the red blood-drinking sword and led all the guardsmen she could mobilize to leave the command room and rush to the port side of the breached battleship.

It is indeed difficult for the Ark of Paradise to resist the power of jumping gangs at such a close range, but on the contrary, while the two alien warships approached the side of the ship to create conditions for a surprise attack, the preachers on the ship also found a way to bite them. opportunity.

Cyclone torpedoes, plasma cannons, guardian point defenses...the battlecruiser's weapon systems completely ignored the overload of the reactor, and a massive amount of firepower poured out instantly.

At the same time as the counterattack began, the two sickle-shaped alien warships immediately started their weird engines that ignored inertia and attempted to evacuate. However, the reaction speed of the preachers who had been transformed by integrated prosthetics had reached their physiological limits. They seized this fleeting opportunity.

They knew very well that greed is enough to swallow an elephant, and all counterattack fire was firmly locked on the same target, allowing another alien warship to disappear within their strike range again.

The other pitch-black scythe locked by them was submerged in the massive defensive firepower poured out from the Ark of Paradise.

Even the Death Scythe battleship made of living metal could not withstand such ferocious firepower. It fired at all costs, triggering a series of gorgeous explosions in the airspace on the port side of the Ark of Elysium. In this beautiful space fireworks show——

——The sickle was broken.

In just a moment of head-on confrontation, the preachers relied on the powerful weapon system of the Ark of Elysium and their extremely fast and precise timing to destroy half of the enemy's strength.

At the same time, the defense team led by Bernadita also arrived at the port side of the torn battleship.

Long before they arrived, the intelligent servitors scattered throughout the battleship responsible for cleaning and maintenance and the mechanics responsible for managing them had launched the first wave of confrontations with the enemies that had invaded the hull. It's just that these service-type servitors that are not specialized in combat do not have corresponding combat programs and lack weapons. Facing the fully armed war machines thrown in by the enemy, they can only continue to fall without any resistance.

When the reinforcements led by Bernadita finally arrived, what they saw was an extremely terrifying and curious sight.

The war machines that broke into the cabin were strange-looking steel monsters that resembled skeletons. Their eye sockets were burning with green light. The Gauss weapons in their hands easily penetrated the fragile body of the intelligent servitor, but these The Iron Skull didn't seem to be interested in the intelligent servitors. After quickly destroying the servitors in front of them, they pounced in groups on the several mortal mechanics hiding behind the servitors.

These skeleton monsters made of metal seem to have some extreme desire for organic flesh and blood. They throw away the Gauss weapons in their hands, tear and bite the flesh and blood of the mortal mechanic with their hands, mouths, and teeth, and remove his flesh and blood. He broke his arm and inserted it into his metal ribs, tore off his skin and covered his face, pulled out his internal organs and stuffed them into his mouth...

The exquisite mechanical bodies with extremely high technological content here are like a group of primitive people who drink blood, scrambling to tear apart the bloody mortal corpses that have already been torn apart.

The outer metal skeletons who failed to fight for a piece of flesh and skin turned their heads and picked up the Gauss energy cannons that fell on the ground. They had already discovered Bernadita and the guard soldiers who arrived later.

"What a monster..." Bernadita cursed in a low voice and pulled the trigger of the bolt gun in her hand.

The soldiers behind her and the metal skeleton covered in flesh and blood all activated their weapons. In an instant, ray pistols, plasma rifles, the metal skeleton's decomposition cannon and powerful special bombs fired simultaneously in the cabin.

Soldiers equipped with melted weapons shouted the name of the God-Emperor, rushed in front of the enemy with determination to die, and burned the ferocious and bloody metal skeleton together with their own bodies.

The armed conflict between humans and Necron begins.
