Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

Chapter 509: The Battle of Black Stone: Two Extremes of Struggle (2)

Orcs, a race born entirely for war.

When they were first created, they were war tools deliberately modulated and created by the Ancient Saints to deal with the huge ground forces of the Necrontyr.

Their terrifying reproductive ability and the "technology tree" engraved into their souls allow them to realize their war potential in the harshest combat environment.

The elite units that spontaneously emerged with the population size, as well as the spontaneous division of labor in the elite community, allow them to naturally achieve the promotion of the overall civilization after reaching a certain number without any civilization accumulation.

But success and failure are one, and their strength is destined to be the reason for their decline.

As a race that has been labeled as "consumables" since its creation, the essence of their souls has never been related to true creativity, and it is even more impossible for them to occupy a real command position in the alliance.

And this is something they have always known, but they are unwilling to admit.

The orcs who developed to the Empire period have, in a sense, realized their full war potential.

The rulers of the empire who clearly understand their own weaknesses cherish the very few members of their tribe who have true "reason" and civilization.

In their eyes, the lower-level orcs are just a number that can be consumed at will, but those high-level orcs who have truly opened their wisdom after being baptized by the "group will" are precious seeds that every orc clan (legion) commander does not want to sacrifice.

But what can be done about it?

In the alliance led by the Creator, the status of the Eldar as the eldest son is unshakable.

And due to their own positioning and functions, the orcs are even less likely to refuse the war edict from the Eldar.

The fleet in front of them is a typical case:

Even though he is the leader of a clan, in this tactical action that he knows is a sacrifice, the orc commander can only watch the most essential part of his bloodline being sacrificed, and still cannot refuse the order of an Eldar royal envoy.

The angry fire flashed in the eyes of the tall commander, but eventually turned into blood in silence and settled in his eyes.

Calvin clearly saw how this giant, who was more than ten meters tall, suppressed his emotions, and he also clearly understood that no hatred was born from nothingness.

But is such forbearance really useful?

Or, as a wise race, since the orcs can show a forbearing attitude in the face of the pressure of the Creator and the powerful power of the Eldar;

As the Eldar with more powerful wisdom and power, do they really know nothing about the orcs' patience?

No, of course not.

Because the reason why civilization is civilization is that the accumulation of time makes "no new things happen under the sun of civilization".

Calvin can clearly see that when the commander of the orcs finally chose to forbear under the explanation of the Eldar representative.

The same subtle irony and contemptuous sympathy also appeared in the eyes of the Eldar representative and members of other races present.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Even though they were created by the same Creator, these advanced civilizations that existed tens of thousands of years before the human empire still showed a "human face" to the young Calvin in this war that was not recorded in history based on their own interests and calculations...

The flames of war in the starry sky were still burning, and the foreshadowing of the Eldar hidden outside the galaxy finally appeared.

The psychics represented by many Eldar priests, relying on the amplification of the Ark's huge psychic circuit, finally summoned their incarnation of gods.

And the Eldar gods who responded to the Eldar's call and projected their power into the real world again, also lowered their own power in the incomparably magnificent glory.

In the vast void, the power of the subspace surged against the trend again like a tide;

The infinite power of faith in the Supreme Heaven tore the curtain of reality, creating a bunch of "tiny" stars, and summoned the gifts prepared by the Eldar for the fear of death from the subspace!

Black Stone! More Black Stone Fortresses!

Behind these huge Black Stone Fortresses, which are comparable to small celestial bodies, are the Eldar gods in the form of light and shadow giants, projecting their power into the real universe!

A cold and sacred light appeared in the void, and the shadow of the Pantheon, the foundation of the Eldar faith, took shape in the prayers of billions of Eldar.

The members of the Eldar gods were arranged on both sides according to their respective functions, with their leader, Asuryan, the head of the gods, as the center.

The rotating Black Stone Fortress was being lifted up by the shadows of these gods and pushed to the center of the galaxy battlefield in an orderly manner!

A more grand war began, and this time the bargaining chip for both sides was the attributes of this space!

Two different civilizations, based on the same understanding of the mysterious material of black stone, used their own different technologies to create products of the same specifications and shapes.

Compared with the "four-pointed stars" that choose to catalyze the expulsion power to the extreme in the duality of the black stone, these black stone fortresses that are deliberately separated into eight-pointed stars will fully demonstrate the amplification power of the subspace as soon as they appear!

"Eight-pointed star..."

Calvin looked at the forms of the black stone fortresses that appeared later, and there were ten thousand alpacas roaring in his heart.

He really wanted to question the Eldar and the gods behind them at this time:

When you use the power of the subspace so recklessly, do you really understand the meaning of this eight-pointed star...

The power in the starry sky is gathering, while Calvin's thoughts are infinitely extended in the place isolated by time.

On the battlefield inside and outside the galaxy, two groups of the same Black Stone Fortresses are fighting in the void with two completely opposite forces, with the largest planetary orbit near the star as the dividing line.

Both the Eldar and the Necrontyr are frantically catalyzing the Black Stone Fortresses in each other's hands to compete for the strategic conditions that really determine the victory or defeat in this space.

Yes, although the two races use the Black Stone in completely opposite ways, the special nature of the Black Stone determines that no matter which direction of characteristics is needed, it requires extremely huge power to catalyze.

The power of the Eldar from the subspace is like this, and the power of the Necrontyr from the Star God is also the same.

Based on their respective characteristics, the two civilizations are using their most powerful energy technology to make terrifying use of the Black Stone Fortresses in their hands.

As the Eldar who obtained the Black Stone earlier and had been prepared for the Necrontyr's plan, they obviously made more preparations for this war, thus occupying an absolute upper hand in the subsequent environmental competition.

But there are always surprises, especially when Calvin, as a bystander, saw those "eight-pointed stars", his thoughts unconsciously extended and finally touched those concepts hidden behind fate.

Slaanesh, Nurgle, Khorne, Tzeentch...

The existence of Chaos Gods who have not been born, but have already cast the shadow of conspiracy over the entire subspace, and finally extended their tentacles to the real universe.

Finally, under the influence of Calvin, who is also a divine soul, he was noticed by the Eldar gods who are investing their power in the real universe.

What a terrifying scene, what a desperate scene.

Outside the void, the light and shadow that has been manipulating the Blackstone Fortress, for the first time, followed the instinct from the depths of the soul and noticed the existence of Calvin outside of time.

Although this light and shadow is just an incarnation of the God of War Cain, He who is highly connected with the main body, still noticed Calvin's traces at the first time, and from Calvin's vague golden soul, he smelled the omen of the end of himself and the entire race!
