Warhammer: Don't Call Me the God of All Machines

Chapter 264: The Eldar in a Dilemma (Wind Vane Extra!)

Sharokin activated the teleportation beacon installed in the power armor. When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to the forward base.

He took a long breath and then walked out of the ring-shaped instrument on the transmission platform.

The air was filled with the smell of ionized ozone. The servitors cleaned up the mud and blood stains left by his footsteps. Sharokin walked towards the command room, looking for any trace of Roche.

"I failed to decapitate the enemy commander."

When he met Luo Xi for the first time, Sharokin said calmly and straightforwardly.

"Iron Hands artillery bombardment covered the area, and the enemy's command system was in disarray."

Hearing Nikona's voice, Luo Xi, who was watching the changes in the battle line in front of the holographic projection, raised his head.

"That's enough. The Eldar have been able to survive until today so they naturally have enough cards up their sleeves. When you really think you can take them down, you should be careful not to fall into the trap they set."

"You are right to be cautious. It is better to be safe than sorry."

The Crow of Mourning nodded and looked at the current situation with Luo Xi.

The progress of the front line in charge of the Extreme Marines was gratifying. Under the joint attack of the Knight Mechs and heavy vehicles, the coalition forces composed of the Ark Eldar and the Savage Eldar only resisted for a while before retreating.

Let’s not talk about those wild elves for now. Most of them are civilians who have not received military training and can only play a supporting role in combat.

However, the support sent by the Ark Eldar put the Space Marines into a tough battle. Each of those special Eldar known as Aspect Warriors had powerful combat power, even not inferior to the Astartes.

Of course, Luo Xi did not think that the enemy was defeated. They might also want to take advantage of the massive attack by humans and use some means to ambush them.

Sure enough, just after the vanguard of the Ultramarines entered a canyon, the Eldar's trump card was finally revealed.

A huge spirit bone structure walked out from the hidden psychic barrier. Their size was roughly comparable to that of human knight mechas, and they were obviously larger than the Tengu mechas that could fly and fight in the air.

However, compared to the heavy armor shields of human knight mechas, the Eldar's Phantom Knight obviously continued the Eldar's usual light and swift style. In addition to the Phantom Sword carried in the right hand, the left arm and shoulders are equipped with heavy Phantom Cannons and Solar Cannons. The invisible scattering field wraps around the Phantom Knight's body, making it look looming.

The Eldar's Phantom Knights moved extremely fast, displaying an elegance and agility that was completely different from their huge size. Within just a dozen seconds of appearing on the battlefield, a Phantom Knight had already used its speed advantage to break out from the blind spot and used the Ghost Sword in its hand to cut off the legs of a human knight's mecha.

"There are only two of them!"

"Kill them!"

The human knight mecha pilot immediately roared and turned the muzzle of the gun. The roars of heavy bombs and melta cannons came one after another, and they began to release firepower in the trajectory of the Eldar knight.

The legs of the fallen knight mecha were made of a high-strength alloy mixed with adamantium, but it couldn't even survive a single blow against the strange blade of the Eldar before being cut in two.

The knight mechas with the numerical advantage surrounded them like a tide. The earth was shaking at this moment. The roaring giant platinum chainsaw swords drew arcs of death, but were repeatedly avoided by the enemy's exquisite dodging.

"Damn it, why is their Knight Mech so flexible? Emperor, it can even roll to avoid our plasma."

A human knight mecha pilot was cursing angrily. His chainsword was about to kill the hateful alien mecha, but the opponent actually jumped up from the ground again and continued his gorgeous dance-like evasive movements.

This is a knight mecha that is more than ten meters high. It is impossible for such a huge war vehicle to be as free and flexible as the human body, but the Eldar have shown humans what flexibility is.

The nimble Nether Knights weaved between the human mechs, occasionally blasting through the cockpits of their equipped solar cannons. The seething psychic energy pierced through the steel shields, blasting the human pilots to dust.

In just a few minutes, three of the human knight mechas had been killed, while the enemy's Nether Knight remained unharmed.

"The human knight mechas are too clumsy. They are just sitting ducks in front of our Eldar's Nether Knights."

"The two pilots of the Nether Knight must be twins, one alive and one dead. The psychic link between them can read each other's distance, thoughts and emotions. The Nether Knight contains the soul of the dead, and the surviving twin can fully exert the power of the Nether Knight."

Ilic Nightspear, covered in wounds, appeared in the Eldar camp, while another Eldar on the [Healing] path was healing him.

"But the difference in numbers is too great. We can't completely wipe them out. Let the Savage Eldar prepare to evacuate. The Webway is still in our hands. We can evacuate through it at any time."

The ranger who managed to survive the human bombing had no time to feel sorry for the psychic amulet he had lost. It was a creation inherited from the heyday of the Eldar Empire, and the psychic shield it created was enough to withstand Titan-level firepower attacks.

Just like humans, the elves who have been passed down to the present day have basically lost the ability to make that kind of psychic amulets, so in a sense, this kind of thing will only be used less and less.

Beside him, the howling banshee who had been rescued took off her banshee mask, revealing an extremely delicate face and pointed ears. Her face still showed the lingering fear of escaping death, but she could only answer helplessly.

"Those wild spirits are unwilling to leave with us. They are stubborn and want to guard their world soul to the death, but this will only lead to death."

Ilic fell silent. He hoped that these relatives could learn to adapt, but this was obviously not an easy thing to do.

"I will go find Chief Karen and persuade him to leave with us. We already have few people in our tribe and we cannot afford to bury any more dead people."

Nightspear grabbed his Voidbringer spear and prepared to set out to find the leader of the Savage Eldar.

Their fight here was meaningless. Every Eldar death was a loss, but what about the humans? The number of those upright apes that had not yet shed their hair was even greater than that of the Orks.

But just as he was about to leave, a psychic light lit up beside him, and Uslan, the prophet of the Usvi Ark who had come uninvited but disappeared, came to him first.

"Well, do you believe what I say now? If you choose to fight humans here, only death will await you."

"Believe me, humans also have deadly cards hidden and have not revealed them. Once they choose to attack indiscriminately, I will not be able to protect you."

Uslan, holding a staff, continued to persuade, and Ilik, who faced the reality, seriously considered Uslan's suggestion.

Although he disliked this prophet very much, Uslan had stolen crystals from other Ark World prophets and forcibly took away some people he liked, but in the current environment they did need more help.

"Do you have any ideas? Lord Prophet, we need the guidance of prophecy."

Uslan revealed a mysterious smile; this was the moment he had been waiting for.

As a member of the Eldar, Uslan knew that the other party would not listen to his advice unless they hit a wall. Only bloodshed and sacrifice could calm the arrogant minds of the Eldar.

"You have already formed a preconceived idea, Ranger. There is no need for us to fight humans to the death, right?"

"The method is very simple. Humans came for the Black Stone. They don't actually have much ill will towards us Eldar. Let me negotiate with the rulers of humans. I can stop this meaningless war."
