Chapter 310 298 Unexpected Battle
Chapter 310 298. Unexpected Battle
Charon 7, an Earth-like planet next to a red dwarf, was discovered by the Mechanicus in the 32nd millennium of the Primarch Era. The terrible Horus Heresy almost destroyed the foundation of the entire Empire, and the subsequent traitors plundered the entire galaxy for decades after the failure of the Siege of Terra.
During this period of time, the surviving loyal Primarchs of the Emperor stood up at this time and bravely took on everything. What the princes did almost established the behavioral patterns and political structures of mankind for more than 10,000 years, ensuring that the Empire could still stand proudly in the galaxy in the face of the terrible Chaos enemy and the broken self-form.
Charon 7 was built by Robert Guilliman, the ancestor of the 13th Legion, in the fourth year after the Emperor fell into sleep, and led an expedition to drive away the original Word Bearers traitors on it. Given the geographical advantages and abundant mineral resources here, under the command of the Primarch and the operation of the Martian Mechanicus, the originally backward and barren feudal world immediately began to be transformed into a forge world with great construction.
In the Forge Era, the huge warships and endless arms produced here supplied the Obysis Sector to face Abaddon's third and fourth black expeditions, but when the Twin Emperor Era broke out, the Empire and the Martian Mechanicus did not help them to resist the Imperial rebels and the Chaos enemies waiting for an opportunity. On the contrary, it was the reinforcements sent by Huangquan VIII that helped the people of the Forge World and resisted the invasion of the enemy.
The Forge General of Huangquan VIII also took the opportunity to clear the Martian forces above, turning this forge world into his own forces, and all the Mechanicus believers above also became staunch members of the heretic sect, because Mars betrayed them, so they chose a new master.
Gray's fleet left the webway gate 25 light years away from Charon 7.
When the fleet just left the gate, the captain of the Ancient Saint suddenly felt a high-energy reaction not far away. When they began to investigate, they found an unexpected scene. An Eldar fleet was fighting with a fleet of Mechanicus. Obviously, their battle had just begun, because there were not too many debris floating in space, only some fighter wreckage.
The Battleship Think Tank immediately began to investigate both sides. The human fleet was undoubtedly the Mechanicus of Charon 7, and the Eldar were a little interesting. They came from the Craft World Lagnesh.
Compared with other Ark Eldar, they can also be regarded as a group of aliens, because unlike those members of the Restoration Party and the Survivor Party, they did not think about how to restore their ancient empire, but decided to leave the real universe and find a safe home in the Webway.
Lagnesh is a small Craft World. They believe that the Eldar have completely lost the material world and become very rebellious. They hope to abandon the material world and enter the Webway to create a new civilization. Therefore, they have a very good relationship with the Harlequin Troupe. After all, most Harlequins also think that there is basically no hope to revive their twisted and corrupt empire.
The name of this ark can also be translated as "Light of the Fallen Sun", and the inscription of their ark world is "Dark Sun". It can be interpreted as "When the observer is far enough away, he can see the light emitted by a star before it dies", which also represents hope.
This ark world is in the west of the hazy star field. They are the home of the Titan clan of the Fe. Roland Eldar, so although their ark world is very small, it is still considered to be full of military power. As for their ark, even Kalai doesn't know where it is. Only some cargo ships can see their erratic home in the webway.
And if a cargo ship finds an ark like Lagnesh in the webway, don't get close. After all, the other party will not have a good face for those who suddenly break into their safety boundaries.
After hearing the news, Gray immediately began to think about why Douya and Jiyou Lao fought here? Was it an accident or was it prepared in advance? After all, Douya's prophecy was a bit pitfall. If those Eldar deliberately led the Mechanicus here, he must destroy both of them. If they encounter it by chance, they can just ignore it, but the possibility is low. After all, no good things will happen wherever the Ark Eldar appear.
After some thought, Gray decided to choose a plan closer to the former, because the Ark World of Lagnash is a small and isolated Ark. Even if they are beaten, they have no way to find help from their compatriots. Moreover, they can't turn against the Kalai because of such a small fleet, because in this case, they will lose the opportunity to trade with Kalai, which is a fatal blow to this kind of Ark that can't be completely self-sufficient.
There are three main ways for the Ark Eldar to obtain resources. One is to supplement from the virgin world, but this world is usually only available to large Arks. The second is to plunder other intelligent biological resources through pirates, and then go to the Dark City of Comoros to exchange for supplies. One of the main resources of Lagnash is obtained through this method.
The third type is to exchange items with Kalai through the ancient tribute trade. The treaty signed between the ancient empires after the war stipulated that they could come to trade, and Ada could trade as a vassal state with their nominal suzerain country, the Ancient Saint Kalai Empire. The ancient empire at that time probably never dreamed that this most insignificant point in that long treaty would actually become the key to the survival of their future descendants. Although the space in Damocles Bay is not large, it is still much richer and safer than the barren galactic void and the dangerous Imperial planet.
Therefore, Gray understood that even if the Arkworld really annihilated both of them, they would only be dumb and unable to speak out their sufferings.
"Order the fleet to move forward and eliminate them all before receiving further instructions!"
The huge fleet immediately began to move forward after receiving the order from the gods. The warships originally placed in the amphibious landing ship also immediately left, preparing to attack the enemy.
The Ark warships fighting in the distance also noticed the situation not far away. The fleet commander, Mrada Khan, quickly discovered the huge fleet in the distance. The pirate lord, after seeing the fleet displayed on the radar, said in his loud and high tenor:
"Spirit Bone Master! Tell me who is heading towards the battlefield between us and the apes!"
The tribe warrior wearing an orange helmet immediately replied after being scanned by the radar.
"Dear Lord, there is a huge battleship leading the troops of the eldest son of the Ancient Sage towards us! And that huge battleship is most likely the flagship of the Ancient Sage. The elder and his army are here!"
After hearing what the other party said, an expression of fear immediately appeared on the lord's face, and he asked tremblingly.
"Elder, are you here because of us?"
"The possibility is low. Their biggest target may be the world of apes."
After hearing the warrior's words, the fear on the face of the spirit tribe disappeared a little, and after thinking for a moment, he said
"It is estimated that those stupid apes have angered the elder and his army. After all, they have been searching for relics among the stars. Let's break up! Since the elder has the same goal as us and went to attack the apes, let's make way quickly. Bar!"
A warrior captain asked suspiciously after hearing this
"Lord, can't we go with the elders?"
After hearing this, Mlada shook his head and said
"How could a ferocious crocodile share the antelope in its mouth with a weak hunting skunk? Leave quickly, otherwise we will become the food of the crocodile like the stupid antelope!"
The lord's order was transmitted to the ears of every captain through communication, and they left here without any hesitation. Otherwise, it would really be like the words of the pirate lord, and they would become the prey of the elders!
