Hunt the Savage Aeldari (Part 1)

The Triken system is crucial to Nimrod's future plans; it will be the industrial hub of the emerging nation.

Nimrod handed over the Triken system to Sanchez, who, along with five "hunters" from the 7th Legion, would hunt down the Exodite Aeldari.

The Triken system is the Aeldari's Crone World; they are all lush, verdant Paradise World.

The Crone World was Oldest One a desolate world. Before the "The Fall of the Aeldari," the Aeldari Empire used advanced surface modification technology to transform these unusable planets into lush, habitable worlds to meet the growing demand for housing.

Nimrod knew that the future Imperium of Man would occupy the Triken system.

The planet Triken, rich in mineral resources, will be developed into the Forge World by the Adeptus Mechanicus. Triken II, IV, and V will become three Knight World, protecting the Forge World.

Nimrod intends to eliminate the Exodite Aeldari who inhabit this area before the Adeptus Mechanicus, and develop five habitable planets within the star system.

"My lord, a target has appeared at hunting ground A-004."

Julian, who was both a telekinetic Psyker and the leader of the "Hunter's" guard, handed the eye shield to Sanchez.

The "hunter" had a clear view of the hunting spot A-004 through the visor.

A company from the 333rd Regiment of the Solar Auxilia was sent there to hunt local wildlife, a creature with the body of a cheetah but the head of a bear.

In fact, they were one of the baits thrown out by the "hunter". Through this period of probing, observation and confrontation, he had gained a considerable understanding of the Triken Exodite Aeldari. They would not allow outsiders to damage the environment.

This is their weakness, and the "hunter" can set a trap.

Sanchez handed the Data Slate back to Julian. "That's First Company Captain Szczesny's Hunting Ground. I trust his abilities."

"Monitoring Hunting Ground A-007, I've cast a big bait; the Aeldari will surely take the bait."

The "Hunter" had prepared for this day for an entire month, personally crafting traps and setting up ambush points using various materials.

The lord then ordered all teams to use this place as a resupply point.

He believed that those who lived in a wild world and were ancient Xenos descendants must understand that attacking supply points would pose a huge threat to outsiders.

As Sanchez pondered, Julian's excited voice rang out.

"My lord, the prey has taken the bait."

The lord of the 7th Legion quickly took the Data Slate and examined the screen.

Thousands of Dinosaur riders launched an attack on the supply point.

The skin of the Exodite Aeldari has evolved into a bluish-gray color, and their cheekbones and brow ridges are inlaid with Dinosaur tooth bone fragments.

The Dinosaur mounts they rode were slender and Feather Fall, with long, spring-like hind limbs and exceptionally long shin bones.

The Dinosaur's head was low and narrow, with an upturned snout forming a unique concave surface, and its upper jaw was covered with dozens of serrated, curved, sharp teeth.

Their hind limbs have evolved curved sickle-shaped claws, covered with a keratinous sheath, sharp as a scalpel.

Their forelimbs have three fingers with hook-like claws, which immediately reveal their powerful grasping ability.

"The time for the hunt has come."

"Hunter" said excitedly, striding out of the black tent and heading towards the motorcycle.

At hunting ground A-007, the Exodite Aeldari spurred their Dinosaur, roaring as they launched an attack on the human supply depot.

An Exodite Aeldari wielding a white bone spear took the lead, and in an instant, he was only a hundred meters away from the human camp.

Just then, his mount suddenly tumbled downwards.

The Exodite Aeldari reacted quickly; he decisively placed both feet on the back of his mount and leaped into the air.

As he tumbled through the air, he wondered to himself.

[How could the Monkey's trap be so well hidden? I didn't even notice it.]

The Aeldari's perception far surpasses that of humans, especially the Exodite Aeldari who live in the wilderness.

Just as he was puzzled, a sudden explosion rang out, and a bomb shot rapidly toward him, piercing his spine before he could react and detonating.

Another Dinosaur ridden by the Exodite Aeldari had just landed with its left hind claw when it caused an explosion, killing it instantly. The flying debris also killed another unfortunate creature.

As the corpses of the Exodite Aeldari fell to the ground, dozens of their kin also died in confusion.

The Exodite Aeldari behind them stopped in a panic, all turning their gazes to the knight sitting at one of the Dinosaur, who was two heads taller than the other Dinosaur.

After a few seconds of contemplation, the tribal chief raised his right arm and swung it forward forcefully, shouting in his local Aeldari language.

"The Monkey must die; this is our home, our world."

"Charge in a dispersed formation!"

The Dinosaur riders immediately split into several columns and rushed towards the supply camp.

The hidden traps set by the "hunters" were triggered one by one, and every instant, Aeldari fell.

But they did not retreat, nor did they stop.

Meanwhile, the garrison in the supply camp also reacted. A company of Warrior from the 333rd Regiment stationed there took cover behind stacked crates and other cover, and raised their weapons to fire at the Aeldari.

The Dinosaur riders, wielding bows and arrows, raised their bows and arrows and fired at the Monkey that dared to fight back.

To escape the eternal hunt of Slaanesh, the Exodite Aeldari chose to come to the Wildlands and live a primitive and simple life. They learned to grow crops and gather natural resources by hand, just like their ancient ancestors. However, they actually possessed many advanced technologies that the Aeldari Empire had.

Their manufacturing method, which combines Psionic Energy and craftsmanship, produces weapons that are far more advanced than those of truly barbaric primitives.

The wooden arrows easily pierced the armor of the Solar Auxilia, and a volley from the Exodite Aeldari felled more than a dozen elite soldiers.

The Dinosaur riders fired their arrows while riding their mounts at full speed. Their agility allowed them to smoothly draw their bows and shoot arrows accurately from behind the fast-moving, undulating Dinosaur.

More than the beams of light shot from the Monkey, what deterred their attacks were the insidious traps.

The Exodite Aeldari used their superhuman senses to find traces of some traps.

The dust-covered, disposable bomb detonators—those fragile contraptions—would be damaged after the bomb was fired.

They also located and locked onto the positions of those hand grenades one by one.

But the despicable Monkey who set the trap seemed to have anticipated that they would find it.

He set up multiple, interconnected triggers in the trap. As the Exodite Aeldari carefully avoided the places where the grenades were buried, his mount touched a barely perceptible wire, and the grenade suddenly bounced up rapidly, hitting him precisely.

The "hunter," possessing a superhuman intellect, set up a multi-layered, multi-trigger trap around the camp to entertain his prey.

When the first Exodite Aeldari charged into the camp, hundreds of Exodite Aeldari had already fallen during the charge.

Just as the Dinosaur rider excitedly raised his Spear, a loud bang suddenly sounded behind him.

A series of Mark XIX Melta Bomb that had been planted were detonated.

Fiery fireworks burst forth, and the intense heat explosion "melted" the newly assembled Exodite Aeldari along with the Dinosaur.

Upon arriving at the Hunting Ground, the "hunter" admired his masterpiece and felt as if something inside him had "melted."

Sanchez's eyes flashed as he locked onto the chieftain of the Exodite Aeldari, who had luckily avoided the explosion and was fleeing in disarray with his guards. He sensed that he was a "big prey."
