Chapter 143 135 The Fall of the Ark
Chapter 143 135. The Fall of the Ark
M41.852, Ark of Idhar.
There is no Eldar in this age who has not heard of such a great ark. Both the clowns and the corrupted people of the Dark City have all heard of this beautiful ark.
This is one of the largest arks among the Eldar. Since the Great Fall, countless Eldar have learned about such a huge ark from the legends of their ancestors and the performances of the Harlequin Troupe.
This ark has a length of 72 kilometers and a maximum width of 16 kilometers. It has a permanent population of about 30 billion and can independently build large battleships and heavy Titans. At the same time, it contains a large number of mythical books and relics of the ancient empire. There is no doubt that this Ada race is one of the most precious treasures of knowledge in this dark galaxy.
At the same time, there is a lot of information about the Eye of Terror and Chaos, which is what all races in the galaxy need most in this era.
Aria Poktian is a path warrior in this ark. Although his status in his path is not conspicuous and he is just an ordinary warrior, in his opinion, this is nothing. , after all, it is only his own obligation to join this path. He used to be just a painter.
He thought he would finish his 20-year journey peacefully, then return to his beloved painting career and continue to shine.
Until 40 years ago, a war changed everything.
In M41.812, the Tyranids' Naga fleet invaded here. In order to fight against this terrifying Great Devourer force, Ark united with another Eldar Ark and Matheran Ark to resist together. Although they finally won, the population declined due to This war caused an extremely sharp decline, and now the population of Ark is less than 10 billion people.
Alia Bokotian's family also died in this terrible war. After that, he was helpless and decided to devote himself to the path of a warrior and defend his incomplete hometown.
Just like any other day, Aria Bogtian woke up in her room alone, then washed up, prepared breakfast, and went out. He walked through the broken streets, walked under the buildings being rebuilt, and passed the workers walking on the streets.
Arya Bokotian admires these spirit bone growers very much, because until now he has never been able to build a skyscraper by taking a small piece of building material and cultivating it. The buildings of the Eldar are very different from other races in the galaxy. The buildings given to them are just a small piece of spiritual bone at first. By cultivating this building material, it will eventually become a house according to the spiritual structure. It takes about 2 to 3 years to build a skyscraper.
Although the construction of houses is not much faster than that of other races, it is indeed a very magical thing to laymen.
"Hey, you woke up very early today, Aria."
Taking the elevator to an observation tower, a militiaman said with a smile after seeing it. Aria nodded after hearing this, signaled to him, and then handed him the breakfast in her hand. the young soldier said as he opened the bag
"Breakfast includes bread, gold drink, and fish steaks... Are there any vegetables?"
Aria Bock turned pale, and the soldier said
"Too much thinking, man, it would be nice to have some food. If you want to eat, you can bring some in the morning when I work the night shift tomorrow."
After finishing speaking, he came to the observation station and started today's work. Since the invasion of the Tyranids, Ark has added more than a dozen observation stations to check whether enemy flying objects and warships have arrived to protect the already very fragile Ark.
Aria looked at Ark's test reports for the past 24 hours and began to check them carefully. Just like in the past few years, there were still no problems, and no one discovered that the Ark was being moored for repairs.
Time passed quickly, and as the morning sunrise of the Ark's artificial sunlight turned into the dazzling midday sun, Aria finally finished checking all her work. The militiamen who were catching up on their sleep also got up and yawned loudly.
"Is it lunch time?"
"You just want to eat... Here you go, help me get a meal."
"no problem."
Aria watched her companion slowly walk out and continued to observe the information on the display. Although many people would take their eyes away from this ever-changing screen during their lunch break, Aria Bokotian would never do this, because he knew that danger would always come when people are most relaxed.
Facts have proved that his vigilance was correct.
Just as his companion was bringing back today's lunch with a smile, the physical universe outside suddenly began to distort. Under the shocked eyes of the two people, a dozen warships from the Human Empire broke through the barrier of the galaxy and came here.
Although I don't know why these guys came over at this time, they certainly didn't come here with good intentions to ask if they need help, and a terrible killing would definitely be inevitable.
"Issue a warning!! Imperial battleship spotted on port side!!"
Aria quickly reported this information to Recovery and at the same time, more than a dozen sentries also issued the same order. After hearing this, Commander Phoenix immediately ordered:
"Fighters take off to intercept!! Notify the Supreme Council and start the engines!!"
Afterwards, green fighter jets quickly took off, and a large number of gunboats and small frigates flew out of the Ark, quickly attacking the approaching human warships. On the human battleships, a large number of naval fighters and bombers also began to take off. Their goal was to destroy the party's fighters and anti-aircraft turrets in front of them.
The Eldar pilots quickly fired shurikens at the enemies in front of them, and the Imperial Navy responded to their attacks with bolt bombs and lasers. Some pilots discovered the true identity of their attackers through optical observation:
The grass green paint, with a human skull painted in the middle of the white five-pointed star, is the logo of the Invaders Chapter. After the battle forty years ago, the Empire has been looking for opportunities to destroy this huge Ark to combat the rampant problem of local Aeldari pirates. The Invaders Chapter naturally wanted this mission, and after searching for nearly four years, they finally found the location of the ark.
After the infernal Tyranids invasion, the fragile Ark defense system had no way to stop such a huge imperial force. If there was no support, their destruction would only be a matter of time.
Finally, when all the fighters and small battleships were destroyed, the Astartes came within striking distance.
Seeing the Emperor's death rain falling towards the Ark, the local council quickly issued a fate:
"All sentries immediately launch their aircraft and go to various craft worlds to ask for help!"
Aria and his assistants quickly came below and started the shuttle. When their aircraft began to soar, the drop pod had smashed the dome of the Ark, and the Astartes began to file out of it, heading towards the street. The men above opened fire. The pilot carefully avoided the landing pods and the Thunderhawk gunship that was about to enter.
Although they were so careful, they were still discovered by the human air force. A Thunderhawk gunship quickly discovered the aircraft, and the pilot immediately opened fire on the aircraft in front of him, forcing the opponent to continuously make dodges.
"How far are we from the entrance to the Webway?!"
His assistant shouted in horror as he looked at the Thunderhawk gunboat still chasing after him. Aria, who was working hard to control the aircraft, looked at the huge gate not far away, which was more than ten kilometers long and shouted.
"Coming!!!"
Just as they were about to arrive, the gunboat behind them suddenly left and stopped firing at them. The assistant was surprised when he saw it and said
"That bastard is out of shells!!"
But the samurai ignored him because he knew the real reason why the other party left. Looking up, a huge landing castle was descending rapidly, with thunderous momentum crushing the top of the building.
"Hell, hell, hell!!!!"
Aria cursed while trying hard to control the flying height to avoid the fate of turning into a discus.
Fortunately, due to the excellent speed of the Eldar aircraft, they successfully escaped at the moment when Chen Bao was about to crush the gate of the Webway.
"We escaped!!!"
When the assistant saw the dark network tunnel, he collapsed on the chair and said excitedly. After hearing this, the veteran also put down his helmet and gasped for air, feeling grateful that he had survived the disaster. After taking a few breaths, he put on his helmet again and said
"Now is not the time to rejoice, we must quickly find our relatives and friends and let them come to save our world!"
What the two of them didn't know was that due to excessive descent at the last moment, they entered the webway at the wrong angle and failed to successfully enter the passage connecting other arks.
As for where they went? I think everyone knows it...
