The pitch-black spire made of spirit bones is more indestructible than the strongest of adamantite gold, but the firepower of the Blackstone Fortress is so powerful that it can easily destroy a planet, and the spirit bone spire simply cannot withstand the combined output of the two fortresses.

And that's exactly what happened. Beams of chaos swept across the pitch-black tower along the rupturing tendency, like a farmer's rake ploughing through the soft earth, leaving a deep ravine, crystallized fragments submerged in the aetheric turbulence and melted into the sea of souls, and the vanguard ships of the Gothic fleet had scattered around the dark spire. They formed in a siege as the dark spirits in the tower scattered and fled the collapsing spire.

But then, the process of the collapse of the tower came to an abrupt end.

The two Blackstone Fortresses, numbered 05 and 06, continued to output, but the damage that the cracking beam had on the pitch-black spire was no longer noticeable - no, not that it wasn't obvious, but it wasn't effective at all.

The surging torrent of energy was a deadly javelin thrown by the primordial body, piercing deep into the body of the spirit bone tower blackened by the evil energy of chaos, breaking it at the waist. But now, the cracking streams from the Blackstone Fortress were like water flowing into a bottomless pool, without causing a splash, and the collapse of the minaret stopped completely.

If it weren't for the fact that the spirit bone spire that was broken by the waist was slowly drifting out of the subspace rift in front of him, the captain of the advance combat formation would even wonder if the previous scene of devastation was an illusion.

"What the hell is going on......?" On the assault boat closest to the minaret, the commander of the formation who took the lead looked at the narrowing subspace rift in front of him, and his heart was full of doubts.

Immediately afterward, a wave of tremors responded to his doubts.

Behind the Bone Spire, an ice crystal asteroid at the end of the Danak System's gravitational influence exploded. The shattered ice crystals brittled and disintegrated under the interference of chaotic energy, and a large number of debris scattered and scattered, causing everyone who observed this fact to quickly realize what had just happened.

The cracking beam fired from the Blackstone Fortress passed directly through the Bone Spire, destroying the Ice Crystal Asteroid further away, while the Bone Spire itself was not harmed in the process.

"Nova cannons, torpedoes, light spears, and all the long-range weapons that can be used are activated, and the test firing begins." The captain made a decisive decision on the spot, as the command unit that rushed to the front line, he had the power to temporarily formulate combat strategies: "Regardless of the result, turn around and evacuate immediately after the weapon is launched, the enemy is suspected of being immune to the attack, and execute it immediately!" ”

As the captain's order was conveyed, more than a dozen light ships of the Gothic fleet's advance combat formation quickly aimed in the direction of the spirit bone spire, and successively fired long-range weapons such as torpedoes and light spears, and one by one small points of light floated in the direction of the spire.

These small ships for reconnaissance and guerrilla purposes didn't have much firepower, and the captain didn't expect their attacks to do any damage to the strange Elven structure, he was only doing this one thing for sure.

"The warhead didn't detonate, Captain." The adjutant on the side reported: "Whether it's a torpedo, a light spear, or a nova cannon, none of our ranged weapons can damage that Spirit building, unlike the Void Shield or the deflection field, the enemy didn't resist or deflect our cannonballs, but ......"

"It's our shells that go through." The captain stared at the vast space in front of him, the base part of the pitch-black spire had completely come to the real universe, and the subspace rift it tore apart also closed, but the surface of the wall of the spirit bone spire was still wrapped with a layer of shallow halo like an illusion, and the shy spirit girl covered her flower-like face with an ambiguous veil.

It was an ancient relic from the Archaic Empire, and its name: Void Veil.

After a round of firing without the slightest frustration, the captain immediately led the lead detachment to turn back and join the main force of the Gothic fleet, he did not know what this strange situation was, and all he could do at the moment was to act cautiously.

Turning the ship's bow and the light of the stars went straight into the porthole, the small scout fleet quickly returned, the broken bone spire looming in the empty space behind it. The plasma thruster gently drew a faint flame tail at the end of the battleship, and the main ship of the Gothic fleet in the distance was getting closer and closer.

"Something seems to be wrong...... Captain suddenly instinctively sensed danger, but before he could react, a sharp pain hit his waist, it was the power sword he had placed on the table.

The deck beneath his feet twisted and deformed, the entire hull was overturned in weightlessness, the small reconnaissance ship was torn apart from the middle, and a large amount of objects poured out of the depressurized cabin.

In just an instant, the body of this veteran naval captain was hit by pens, cups, nuts and other objects, and the flesh and blood exposed to the vacuum directly exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

"Enemy... Before he died, the captain could not utter the last two words.

The plasma reactors of small ships were detonated in space, blowing up into a series of undazzling fires, and many crew members did not see the true face of the attacker until they died, and only a few people who had been modified by prosthetic bodies and wore prosthetic eyes could barely catch a faint phantom in the first few seconds of the ship's explosion.

The transparent shadow was ghostly, shuttling between the formations of the reconnaissance team, breaking through one by one, and they didn't even notice it.

"Huh...... Foolish monkeys, you may not know who you are killed until you die. "In the base fortress of the Spirit Bone Spire, the blue-skinned Elder of the Blood Servants smiled darkly.

It was laughing at the ignorance and arrogance of human beings, and at the comical appearance of these monkeys who were not aware of the imminent disaster.

Killiman's fleet was docked in the skies above the main planet Danak and the nest capital Quintus, and the total destruction of the reconnaissance team made them even more vigilant. But this vigilance is meaningless, because the battle ships of the dark spirit clan have already touched their faces.

Clusters of smart shadows hidden between the unreal curtains, they are already within 1,000 kilometers of Danak Starport.

That was the effect of the 'Void Veil', whether it was covering itself with a veil of subspace to shield itself from all damage from the real universe, or covering itself under the veil to shield itself from the scanning of the regular orniths and the electromagnetic phased array carried on the Imperial warships, it was the effect of this ancient relic of the Spirit Race called the 'Void Veil'.

If the conventional subspace voyage is a fierce man diving into the deep sea and swimming forward, then the effect of the Void Veil is to allow the ship to paddle in the shallow depths of the Sea of Souls, although it is not deep, it is enough to shield most of the regular damage from the physical universe.

It was a technology developed by the spirits during the Battle of Heaven to fight against the Star Gods and the Death-Dreaders, and it was used to counter the ridiculously damaging disintegration weapons and energy shocks of the Space Necrons and the Star Gods, and now it is being used against the humans, and it is indeed wielding a dragon slayer to kill chickens.

"But who makes these chickens so annoying?" The Blood Elder smiled.

A squad of Sharp Knives had already rushed to the Glory of the Ultramarines, the flagship of the Ultramarines, in small strikes covered in the Veil of the Void, and the well-armed Dark Eldar Warwitches in the cabin were already eager to try.

It would be easy to detonate the ship directly with a powerful ancient relic, but it would be more desirable to cut off the original body and bring the skull of the Emperor's son back to the Comoros.
