Chapter 619: Guilliman is Chewing Soybeans.jpg

The troops stationed in the Xindu star system could be divided into three parts:

the World Engine directly belonging to Zerath, the fleet from the Silent King, and the fleet brought by Zahndrekh directly belonging to him; these three parts in total.

As the supreme commander of the Xindu star system defense fleet, Zahndrekh could theoretically command the Silent King's fleet and his own fleet, and with Zerath's consent, could also call upon the World Engine.

Such a massive fleet guarding a star system was enough to resist any form of enemy; in fact, this was indeed the case.

The Silent King's fleet was arranged by Zahndrekh on the outermost periphery of the star system, outside the asteroid belt surrounding the Xindu star system, acting as a solid wall to directly resist the enemy's offensive.

And Zahndrekh's troops were arranged behind the asteroid belt.

The main component of the asteroids in the Xindu star system was metal with extremely high hardness, and some blackstone left over from sixty million years ago was also mixed in. Its outer shell was also plated with a layer of solid ice due to the low temperature of outer space, so even the Necron lightning arc array could not destroy it in one hit; they had to slow down and bypass these asteroids.

This was also the reason why the Silent King chose the Xindu star system as the core of the Pariah Nexus; this asteroid belt was a natural defensive line.

Zahndrekh's troops were deployed behind the asteroid belt precisely to snipe those enemy troops that had to slow down when crossing the asteroid belt.

The plan was very smooth; although the Silent King's main center fleet was powerful, it had already lost its left and right wings and suffered a certain degree of attrition.

At this time, the Silent King's fleet facing the Silent King's elite fleet was like waves crashing against a dark reef; although continuous, it always shattered the moment it touched the reef.

Those Overlords directly belonging to the Necrons, looking at the Silent King's fleet that didn't know whether to live or die, even began to mock them.

"Leave the Silent King to you, blow up all those tomb ships!"

"Haha! Count me in!"

"Good idea!"

"That would be powerful!"

"Not the Phaeron I like, kill directly!"

The Silent King's dynasty had declined to the extreme in the long sixty million years; the language logic modules of these Overlords generally had damage, and their speech was not very logical; it was only after the Silent King returned that they gradually began to climb to high positions.

But just at this moment, the asteroid belt behind them suddenly moved.

Those massive asteroids seemed to suddenly have their own will, shooting toward the Silent King's fleet.

The Zahndrekh troops behind them also launched an attack on them at almost the same time.

On those asteroids, Zahndrekh had used his position to install a large number of miniaturized gravity engines, which could make the asteroid itself reach an extremely high speed in a short time, endowing it with powerful kinetic energy.

This situation was completely beyond the expectations of the Silent King's fleet; at first, they couldn't even understand that this was an attack launched against them, and couldn't figure out why the asteroid belt behind them was getting closer and closer.

Until the first asteroid smashed into the fleet, the volume, weight, and acceleration endowed by the gravity engine made them extremely dangerous weapons.

The collision followed; the first asteroid smashed into a Shroud-class light cruiser, and this massive asteroid shattered with a bang, and the ship cast from living metal also collapsed and disintegrated, flying around in disarray mixed with gravel, sprinkling in all directions.

Then, more ships were submerged by the asteroid rain, turning into space junk together with the bursting asteroids, flying disorderly in space.

In a hurry, part of the Silent King's fleet began to turn around toward the rear, attempting to use the lightning arc arrays on the ships to focus fire and shoot down those asteroids.

Their actions quickly took effect; although a single lightning arc array could not destroy these asteroids, a large number of lightning arc arrays gathered together were enough to tear open those heavy ice layers and metal celestial bodies——————

But some of the asteroids, after being attacked by the Silent King's fleet, had the torpedoes Zahndrekh had placed inside explode with a bang; the metal asteroid itself instantly dissolved and cracked, but the blackstone within the asteroid was not affected.

Under the action of the explosion and inertia, these blackstones scattered in all directions at sub-light speed, and the hard blackstone tore through the ships that were launching attacks on the asteroid rain like fragmentation grenades.

Zahndrekh's troops took the opportunity to launch an attack on the Silent King's troops, forming a pincer movement with the Silent King's troops.

At the same time, some of the modified asteroids in the asteroid belt also started at this moment; they did not smash into the Silent King's troops, but smashed into the World Engine in the star system.

In an instant, a noisy meteor shower erupted on the World Engine, and those massive weapons had to be used to resist the asteroids.

And the remaining weapons...

A clear sound of a door opening suddenly sounded; the Blood Angels' flagship Red Tear and the Emperor's Children Chapter's flagship Pride of the Phoenix, leading a large number of human fleets, appeared directly inside the Xindu star system, lying between Zahndrekh's troops and the World Engine.

But whether it was the Blood Angels' Gloriana-class battleship Red Tear or the Pride of the Phoenix carefully designed by Fulgrim, they both became foils at this moment.

In the very center of the human fleet, a massive ship like a trident stood in the void.

This was an Abyss-class battleship even larger than a Gloriana-class battleship, one of the three forged by the traitor Primarch Lorgar in the past, which once belonged to Erebus, named the Blessed Lady, and now named the Doraemon Cabinet.

This magnificent warship exchanged fire with the World Engine, and the entire Xindu star system was lit up by the light of lances and lightning arc arrays, and even the star became much dimmer.

But in such an intense battle situation, a key figure was missing...

Guilliman casually grabbed a handful of soybeans from the small cloth bag Zhou Yun gave him and chewed them in his mouth, looking at the message sent by Zahndrekh.

The Silent King Imotekh did not appear in the Xindu star system.

This Phaeron of the Sautekh Dynasty seemed to have disappeared suddenly, absent from this important war.

Outside the Pariah Nexus, in the roaring Warp storm,

on the Gloriana-class battleship Macragge's Honour, while chewing soybeans with his teeth, Guilliman raised his head and looked at the metal figure in the shadows.

The Phaeron of the Sautekh Dynasty, the Silent King Imotekh, was standing in Guilliman's office.

Guilliman's Honor Guard, the Invictarus Suzerain, was lined up surrounding him, but the Silent King was not panicked at all.

He looked calmly at Guilliman sitting behind the desk, and tapped the ground with the scythe in his hand, which was somewhat massive even for a Necron Phaeron. ===== CHAPTER 620 =====
