Chapter 614: General Reserve, Do Not Move!

Howling psychic energy burst upon the surface of a Dirge-class raider.

Mephiston's psychic energy condensed into a spear shimmering with the light of a star, tearing through the void to pierce the living metal hull of the Dirge-class raider, leaving behind a molten burn mark.

The Red Tear's lances and macro-cannons followed, easily tearing apart the crescent-shaped Necron vessel.

The Blood Angels' fleet, with the powerful Gloriana-class battleship Red Tear as its core, quickly launched an attack on the exposed weak left flank of the Silent King's fleet.

Responsible for defending the left flank of the Silent King's forces was the Overlord Zarang of the subsidiary Arlim-Malok Dynasty.

This Necron Overlord had been unable to suppress the impulse to chase down the Lamenters Chapter from the very beginning, and like the Overlord Nazar of the right flank, chose to turn his course to the right.

This left the left flank of Zarang's forces protruding, becoming defensively weak.

And when the Blood Angels' fleet suddenly appeared, Zarang did not order a stop to the turn or a reorganization of the formation,

because he had seen the Silent King release a full three C'tan shards, naturally assuming that the Blood Angels' fleet could never break through the defensive line composed of three C'tan shards.

It was not until Xi Gaoqi emerged from the webway and used lies as threads to deceive and manipulate the three C'tan into killing each other that Zarang panicked and issued a turn-around order to his fleet, which was still in the middle of turning.

He demanded that his fleet quickly adjust from a right turn to a left turn to block the Blood Angels' fleet, but by then it was too late.

Xi Gaoqi, controlling the Transcendent C'tan shard, distorted space-time, making the distance between the Blood Angels' fleet and Zarang's fleet shrink instantly; almost in the blink of an eye, the human fleet cut into Zarang's fleet like a sharp knife.

And at this very moment, Zarang's fleet was still executing his order to turn left; with the two factors combined, Zarang's forces fell directly into chaos.

Emerald light burst in the void, countless ships were torn apart, and the entire universe seemed to be dyed green.

And the Red Tear was like a streak of bright red in this emerald color; the flagship of Sanguinius, the Primarch among warships, the power of the Gloriana-class battleship was displayed before the Necrons.

Those powerful Necron ships were crushed by the Red Tear and the nine Mephistons standing at the bow of the Red Tear, as it charged straight toward Zarang's flagship.

Zarang frantically begged the Silent King for reinforcements, hoping that the Silent King would also turn his course to the left to support him.

"Has his military literacy been erased by Xi Gaoqi!!"

The Silent King growled in question.

This was not to humiliate Zarang, but because the Silent King truly felt that after Xi Gaoqi appeared, the thinking of almost all Necrons had become dull, impulsive, and easily deceived.

This was Xi Gaoqi's power; he was the Great Harlequin, the First Fool, the God of Deception and Trickery. His laughter would make the thinking of all life slow down, and his mockery would weaken rationality and cause impulsiveness to rise.

It was precisely under the influence of this effect that Zarang made the wrong judgment.

The Silent King stared intently at the battle situation on the light screen before him.

Now, the Silent King's forces were like a banana with half its peel stripped away.

The Silent King's forces were the fruit inside, still stuck to the forces of Nazar on the right flank, while the forces of Zarang on the left had already had their peel pulled off.

This created a gap between the Silent King's and Zarang's forces, and the gap was growing wider.

If a fleet were to appear at this moment and insert itself directly into this gap, the Silent King's forces would be completely torn in two, and his main center would also be directly exposed to enemy fire.

But the Silent King did not intend to heed Zarang's plea for help and turn his course to advance to the left,

because this did not conform to military common sense at all. Even if the Silent King really did this, his forces would only appear behind Zarang's forces and be blocked by Zarang's chaotic troops.

This would not only fail to help Zarang fight the Blood Angels' fleet, but would instead cause the Silent King's fleet to separate from Nazar's fleet on the right, causing the Silent King's fleet to scatter completely.

The Silent King stared at the battle situation, and instead of feeling fear, he began to feel excited from the bottom of his heart, feeling an unparalleled fighting spirit surging in his heart.

This feeling rippled through his body, making him feel that his cold metal body was no longer cold, but rather felt somewhat satisfied.

An arrow was quickly outlined on the battle situation map before him; this arrow extended from the Silent King's fleet, curved to the right, and finally circled around to form an ellipse, pointing to the rear of the Blood Angels' fleet.

This was the plan the Silent King had come up with to break the situation: let his fleet continue to maintain its right turn, then circle around in the void, bypass to the rear of the Blood Angels' fleet, and directly pincer the Blood Angels with Zarang's fleet.

But the speed of this action had to be fast, to act before the enemy could react.

Fortunately, speed was the specialty of the Necron fleet. The only obstacle to this plan was the Lamenters Chapter,

a chapter with only one thousand Astartes, most of whom were Primaris recruits.

As long as this little pebble was crushed...

The Silent King quickly issued an order to Zarang, demanding that he hold the line at all costs and block the Blood Angels, while simultaneously ordering Overlord Nazar to crush the Lamenters immediately.

On the Tears of the Daughter, the flagship of the Lamenters,

blood, shattered metal, damaged ceramite power armor, and emerald coolant were mixed and intertwined.

Gunfire...

Overlord Nazar of the Silent King's subsidiary Sekumtar Dynasty received the Silent King's order.

This Overlord, with his heavy and massive physique, naturally also hoped to crush the Lamenters fleet, which looked extremely small before him.

But the resilience of this force was completely beyond Nazar's expectations. Even facing a Necron fleet that far outnumbered them, the Lamenters had not retreated a single step, holding the line and constantly entangling with the Necron fleet.

One Lamenters ship after another fell in a tragic manner, many even dying together with Necron ships in suicide attacks.

But even such tragic sacrifices could not cause the Lamenters' fleet to waver in the slightest.

It was as if they had experienced battles far more tragic than this, to the point where they were completely unafraid of the Necron fleet before them.

Nazar had to admit that he was shocked by this group of humans, and developed a feeling that could be called respect for them.

In order to complete the Silent King's mission, and also to express his respect for these humans, Nazar boarded the Tears of the Daughter, attempting to directly decapitate the enemy commander. ===== CHAPTER 615 =====
