A Prophecy That Terrified the Farseer
The holographic force field activated by the Khaine -Han Craftworld was completely unable to block the Primarch's gaze.
His gaze was fixed on the Aeldari Craftworld, and he swiftly issued orders.
"Steering 9-8-5, lean angle 3."
"..."
Under his command, the Shadow of the Throne constantly corrected its course, always tracking the trajectory of the Aeldari Craftworld.
"Bow Lance, 1-4-2, angle of inclination 5."
The black Void Behemoth "spit out" a bright beam of light, forcing the elegant red serpent to turn and dodge.
This chase is a confrontation between the Primarch and the Farseer who leads the Craftworld in the void; it is a battle of insight and foresight.
Before the "The Fall of the Aeldari," the Aeldari Craftworld was a massive trading ship capable of carrying a self-sufficient community of hundreds of Aeldari families, who might only return to Aeldari civilization three or four times in a thousand years.
After the "The Fall of the Aeldari," the worlds that served as refuges for the Craftworld Aeldari have grown rapidly in size, now being approximately ten to a hundred times larger than before.
The Craftworld contains Webway that connects to each other and millions of planets.
A massive space dock, located on the outer edge of the Craftworld, releases fleets and spacecraft that have crossed the Webway.
The Windrider Riders and Viper Airship Pilots gathered in clan units.
Most of the Aeldari within the clan are related by blood. They smear hot blood on their faces, drink blood taken from the wrists of their relatives and friends, and brothers and sisters board flying machines.
Motorcycles and airships surged into space from the massive space dock, charging toward the Shadow of the Throne.
Diana Boleyn has finally found her stage, a place where she had no opportunity to utilize her abilities in this battle against the Aeldari Craftworld.
The captain methodically deployed the defensive turrets and established an air defense network.
The red aircraft, hurtling towards them, was shot down by a barrage of bullets, like moths drawn to a flame.
Every second, red aircraft trailing flames plummeted like kites with broken strings.
Diana, of course, would not passively take the beating. She deployed fighter jets and Gunship to launch a concentrated counterattack, like a powerful punch thrown at Eldar's aircraft.
Khaine -Han clans use herringbone or striped patterns as their identifiers, and the clan the captain attacked is marked with two connected diamonds.
Riders piloted elegant airships, heading towards the oncoming swarm of human aircraft.
They aimed their Shuriken Cannon at the Monkey fighters, launching large hunting nets that covered the entire area, watching mockingly as the foolish Monkey crashed into the Shuriken barrage.
The Auxilia fighter formations were unable to evade, nor did they evade; the pilots shouted for the Emperor and the Primarch, firing furious shells at the Xenos airship with their machine guns.
The pilots of the Viper Airship were astonished to find that the Monkey pilots were not futilely dodging the Shuriken Net; they were firing shells like cold machines.
The pilots skillfully maneuvered their Viper airships to dodge, but a dense barrage of bullets covered an entire area occupied by dozens of Viper airships.
A clan rider, maneuvering his "mount," dodges left and right, using his superb "riding skills" to avoid six cannonballs in succession.
But he found that the space for dodging was getting smaller and smaller; the shells and the surrounding airships were limiting his options.
As he pondered, he sensed another shell hurtling towards him. His arm tensed instantly, and he swung it sharply.
Even in his hasty dodge, his movements remained fluid and elegant.
However, a shell, oblivious to the danger, suddenly shot in and struck the elegant red airship.
The perfect arc the Viper airship traced in the void was shattered; brutal shells mercilessly tore the fuselage apart, making it indistinguishable from an exploding, ugly Monkey- like fighter.
As the elegant red airship unleashed its barrage of bullets, more than thirty Viper airships were also reduced to wreckage, scattered across the cold void.
The clan drivers discovered that the price they paid in their first encounter was not much less than that paid for the Monkey they had underestimated.
The Aeldari, whose emotions are more complex and sensitive than those of humans, are immersed in grief over the death of their blood relatives, while also developing a sense of respect for the Monkey.
Their attack methods were savage and primitive, but their courage was admirable.
The second round of air combat immediately broke out. At the same time, the fighter formations launched a dense, covering attack on the Aeldari airships, while the Astartes launched precision strikes from the flanks.
The Shadow of Order locked onto the airship and launched a relentless and deadly attack on the evasive, elegant vessel.
The clan's war leader, as he piloted his airship out of the hail of bullets, was utterly consumed by grief.
His clan, his blood relatives, are few and far between.
He forced himself to pull himself out of his grief, and the Monkey launched a new attack.
As the war leader hastily maneuvered the airship, gracefully dodging the hail of bullets, he felt his kin being swallowed up by the cold bullets behind him.
He sensed that he was being locked onto by four Monkey Gunship.
[Cannot be dodged.]
The war leader and his elegant vehicle were torn apart by scorching shells.
Diana annihilated four Samo-Han clans by assembling all her aircraft in a localized area and employing a three-pronged attack tactic: disrupting the Aeldari aircraft formation in the first round of engagement, followed by a second round of firepower, and a third round of Reaping the remaining forces.
The Farseer discovered Khaine -Han's rapid air strike tactics, swift as the wind and fierce as a snake, and was ruthlessly crushed.
The overall space war situation did not develop according to the thread he had woven.
Among the enemy fleet, several warships had strange cannons mounted on their sides, firing Aetheric Field that directly tore apart the Aeldari warships' holographic camouflage.
He had never encountered such bizarre artillery, nor had he anticipated that Nimrod's fleet possessed such advanced weaponry.
None of the human fleets Khaine -Han encountered in the Segmentum Pacificus possessed cannons capable of firing Aetheric Field.
[Nimrod possesses unique artillery technology!]
The Farseer saw a scene in his eyes: countless black warships firing dazzling Aetheric Field fire, revealing Khaine -Han's red Aeldari warships, which he then destroyed.
He saw the Craftworld breached by the enemy, and Aeldari clad in red armor lying in pools of blood.
The future scenarios that the threads of fate revealed to him filled him with fear.
His actions to change Khaine -Han's fate brought him a terrifying enemy.
The Farseer decisively decided to abandon the attack on Nimrod and the Vigilant Star.
He will find again, within the threads of fate, a world that will hold Khaine -Han's future.
The Farseer bitterly issued the order, "Give the order to retreat!"
Aeldari warships engaged in battle converge on the Craftworld.
Nimrod immediately noticed that a dozen or so ships approaching the Aeldari Craftworld were entering the Craftworld from the massive dock.
[Run!]
The Primarch would not let Khaine -Han Craftworld escape so easily. Since the start of the space war, the Eleventh Legion has, overall, paid a greater price than the Aeldari.
However, based on the current trend, the Shadow of the Throne has not yet fully locked onto Khaine -Han.
The Primarch keenly sensed that this was because his orders, transmitted to the ship's officers and then to the crew, had taken unnecessary time to reach them.
The ship's officers and crew carried out his orders efficiently, but it was not enough to overcome the Farseer's foresight.
He was still able to guide the red Aeldari Craftworld and escape the pursuit.
To strike the Khaine -Han Craftworld, it must be faster and more lethal.
The Primarch's consciousness spread throughout the entire ship.
