Light spears and cannons rang out in unison, and chainsaws and bombs rang out in unison.

Streamers flashed by, and the light and agile Eldar stealth fighters deftly shuttled through the vast fleet of the original body, detonating the core reactors of one Imperial warship after another with their deadly weapons, and blue plasma sparks ignited in the orbit of Danak's main star, and every minute, the Gothic fleet suffered a huge loss that would make any naval officer's heart ache to the point of breathing.

The Commander kept trying to call in any weapon that could still work, and organized wave after wave of counterattacks, but no matter what they tried, they could not inflict even a single damage on the Veiled Eldar strike boats and fighters, and the tide of battle deteriorated unstoppably.

Every loyal warrior is dying with all his might, but their fearless and senseless sacrifice is not insignificant, or at least useless.

War is war, not a samurai duel as bards sing about, and no loyal ant can bite a star to death.

But smart ants can.

While everyone in the original army is desperately trying to recover the decline, there is one person who is leisurely immersed in his own affairs, like an outsider who has nothing to do with himself.

He was the great sage of the Order of Mechanics: Belisarius Kaul.

Kaul ignored the burning Gothic fleet and did not rush to Kiliman's side to help him in the first place, and the Great Sage was now in the depths of Blackstone Fortress 06, which had just been launched once, studying with great interest the various core data that was fed back when the fortress was running at full power.

A deputy dressed in priest's robes followed Belisarius Kaul's tank-like body and carefully reminded, "I beg your pardon for trespassing, Lord Kaul, but I don't think it's a good time to study Xenomorph technology. You see, outside, the Empire's fleet is retreating, the Spirit Clan is raging, and the other 5 Blackstone Fortresses have been urgently activated to rush to the front line to support the original body, but ......"

However, only Blackstone Fortress 06 was forcibly intercepted by Kaul and stucked on the outskirts of the galaxy to be studied by the Great Sage.

"The officers in the fortress have repeatedly protested that you immediately surrender control of the Blackstone Fortress, and the commander of the 93rd Company of the Ultramarines has claimed that if you continue to hinder their access to support their genetic father, the safety of the Primordial will be threatened, and he will use the power sword to destroy your data processing center......"

Looking at his priest's sincere worried look, Kaul disagreed, "Hmph. ”

Of course, the Great Sage Kaul understood that the current primordial body needed more practical support than theoretical research, and on the battlefield, the fire support of a Blackstone fortress was far more important than a research report.

"Technology and academia are precious, but what the original body needs more now is powerful artillery and more warships." The priest's deputy cautiously suggested, "You can't always count on research to save the Empire, Lord Kaul. ”

"Why can't I?" Kaul turned his head, his red prosthetic eyes fixed on his deputy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't try to educate me, don't try to give me your shallow advice, little fellow who doesn't know the height of the sky." ”

"Because I'm the Great Sage Kaul! I can do anything! ”

"Mediocre mortals cannot comprehend my wisdom! They will only think I'm crazy! Just like the ultramarines who sharpen their knives outside this secret room! They thought their chainsaw and blaster would be able to defend their original body before the Elves of the Void were activated! ”

"A bunch of idiots! Their stupidity only leads to senseless sacrifices! What the empire needs is not ignorant swords and clumsy sacrifices, but me! It's the amazing wisdom of my great sage Kaul! ”

"Because I'm Kaul, I can do anything!"

In the thunderous roar of the Great Sage, the high-ranking priest trembled and did not dare to say a word.

The furious Kaul gradually calmed down, as if he had just taken the lead from a fierce quarrel involving hundreds of people, and he said wearily, "Listen to the little one, I'll only say it once." ”

The technical priest hurriedly listened - cleaned his own sound receiving device with electrolyte.

"The original didn't really master the Blackstone Fortress." Kaul said: "The Blackstone Fortress is a giant god weapon created by the ancient race against the 'Star God', and you may not know what the Star God is, because you are too stupid and ignorant. ”

"The Star God is a pure energy creature born from the laws of physics, almost immortal, but in that battle for heaven that is even older than a long time ago, someone found another way to kill the Star God, and that is the other side of the soul. There is no concept of time in subspace, and there is no so-called eternal and unchanging physical law, and once the star gods who are the embodiment of the law pass through the veil and fall into the sea of souls, their divine bodies will be irreversibly distorted, collapsed, and even died. ”

That's why the Star God needs to gather the Fear of the Dead to create space necromancers to deal with the Ancient Saints and Spirits who can manipulate subspace power at will, but that's another secret, and Kaul doesn't plan to tell him this.

"The star gods are almost omnipotent in the physical universe, but they know the danger of the subspace and their own powerlessness in the supreme heaven, so the star gods will never take the initiative to enter the subspace to kill themselves, but...... They do not enter the subspace, but someone approaches them with the subspace. ”

Kaul stretched out countless arms, like a large tarantula stretching its abdomen.

The Great Sage chanted binary codes of unknown meaning, and countless tiny mechanical tentacles and nethertoids emerged from under his robes and invaded the data hub of the chamber with shimmering gray runes.

It was the underworld beetle of the space necromancer...... The priest's deputy noticed the strangeness of Kaul's methods, and recognized that it was an alien technology that would be condemned by the Inquisition as a heretic, but at this moment, there was no anger at the heresy in his heart...... Eat one's heart out.

He was going crazy with jealousy.

"Hmph, thanks to their use of Ebony Claw to unlock the firewall in the center of the fortress, otherwise it would undoubtedly be difficult to hack into the general control system of the Blackstone Fortress and gain full control." Kaul said, the flickering gray-white runes in front of him turning a blinding bright red.

Countless nettles squirmed back into the Great Sage's body, and Kaul continued: "The Blackstone Fortress is actually a huge subspace energy generator in essence, you can understand it as a special psionic weapon, its power is huge enough to annihilate the incarnation of the laws of physics and slaughter the Star God......"

"The warships and fortresses of the Eldar are covered in the 'Veil of the Void', and their shallow waters in the Sea of Souls are immune to all conventional weapons. Only psionic weapons that use the power of the soul to attack can affect the spirit creations hiding behind the veil. ”

As he spoke, Kaul suddenly became furious, and his roar was mixed with electronic noise, as if several people were talking at the same time:

"And the Blackstone Fortress itself is a powerful psionic cannon firing pedestal!"

"The busy mediocrities have such a divine weapon in their hands, but they don't know how to use it, they clumsily and rudely connect countless backward torpedoes and laser firing arrays on top of the fortress, and use the psionic weapons of the Star God as a mobile armed platform for the Imperial Navy."

"The weapon that can easily pierce the Veil of the Void is clearly in your hands, but you are still being teased and trampled by the mere spirit clan hiding behind the veil, throwing away your armor...... You're like stupid Ogelin, brandishing state-of-the-art hot-melt rifles and smashing people with their butts. What a shame, how stupid. ”

Kaul thought angrily, his outstretched mechanical arm manipulating countless blood-red psionic runes, and the Great Sage hacked into the Blackstone Fortress's master control system, and he directly gave orders to every part of this weapon.

The cross-edged hinges of Blackstone Fortress 06 unfolded, and unrivaled psionic energy was extracted from the subspace.

The little piece of flesh that remained on Kaul's face turned hideous, and he asked through gritted teeth:

"Now, do you understand my wisdom?"

The Great Sage's words fell, and a Spirit strike boat that was rapidly approaching Blackstone Fortress 06 with the intention of jumping to seize control of the fortress was drowned in the raging psionic plume.
