On the Shadow of the Throne, Nimrod sat on his the Throne, listening to an urgent report from Arsena Dunn.

"My lord, Arenis has sent an urgent distress report."

"The Imperium -appointed Governor Seth Solaire has sent an urgent distress message: a large number of Aeldari have suddenly appeared in the world."

"Governor Sorel led his troops in resistance, but suffered repeated defeats and is now retreating to the governor's mansion for a final stand."

Nimrod, knowing that the Saisak family was a noble family that had pledged allegiance to him, Arenis was an important supply depot for the Battle of the Wheel of Fire, decided to go to their aid.

After the Shadow of the Throne docked in orbit above Arenis, the Primarch led the Honor Guard members aboard five Stormbird and flew toward the Governor's Residence.

During the journey, the Primarch's Attendants noticed that the Primarch's gaze was fixed on the inner wall of the Stormbird, and spoke up.

"Sir, the Tech Sergeant has been studying the complete Stormbird data and has made progress on the Quantum Field Repulsor."

"Based on the current research progress, substantial progress is expected in five months, with the first new experimental aircraft to be manufactured."

Nimrod and turned his gaze to the view through the window, looking towards the governor's residence.

His dark eyes swept across the scene, and the first thing that caught his eye was the green heavy aircraft.

The moment Nimrod saw the green heavy tank, he recognized it as belonging to the Craftworld.

Biye-Tan, the most powerful Craftworld of the Aeldari.

The Voidweaver is a tank unique to Biet-Tan. In addition to firing monomolecular filaments, the Doomweaver Cannon also spews out large amounts of bacteria and Wraithbone Parasite.

They will dissolve everything, leaving not even a trace of the spores of the Aeldari's old adversaries Orks.

While the Voidweaver Tank is effective, many Aeldari hate this method of killing and regard these heavy tanks as abhorrent.

For the Aeldari, bacteria and Wraithbone Parasite are used to transform the world; their purpose is to create life, not to kill.

Only Biye-Tan, dedicated to restoring the glory of the Aeldari Empire, uses this type of tank.

As Nimrod was about to conquer the Orks Imperium, he couldn't help but think: [Isn't this just a gift delivered to my doorstep? Capture Voidweaver for research.]

If we can cultivate the Wraithbone Parasite, the battles of the Wheel of Fire, and even the future war with the Ork, will go much more smoothly.

Nimrod scanned the other vehicles and Aeldari, identifying the runes on their bodies.

The Aeldari who attacked Arenis had runes consisting of three parts, from top to bottom: a heart, a semicircle, and a cross.

[As expected, it's Bijetan.]

For Ye-Tan, the runes not only symbolize reincarnation and rebirth, but also the return of the Great Old One, embodying their ambition to restore their kingdom.

"Fire!"

Upon receiving the Primarch's command, Stormbird mounted six Terror Strike Missile and locked onto Voidweaver.

The missile, trailing a fiery tail, whistled as it slammed into the forked tip of the Aeldari heavy tank's green body.

The Voidweaver spewed black smoke and spun as it fell.

The Vaul Engine roared, Doomweaver Cannon fired a sky full of monomolecular filaments, shooting towards the Stormbird.

The Void Shield Generator emitted a piercing alarm sound, which stopped after several seconds.

The turret is equipped with four twin Lascannon and three twin Heavy Bolter, which fire blinding beams and dense explosive shells at the ground.

A dozen or so Dire Avenger clad in green armor were torn apart by concentrated firepower.

Before the Stormbird landed, Nimrod had already opened the hatch and jumped out.

Upon Primarch, the Primarch immediately launched a charge, crashing into the Fierce Avenger clad in blue Tribal armor.

In the eternally war-torn Galaxy, the Aeldari are the most numerous to choose the Path of the Warrior, unlike the Guardian, who only take up arms when faced with crisis.

They devoted themselves entirely to the art of war, giving every breath to the pursuit of military perfection.

The Path of the Warrior is complex and long, with multiple branches.

Each branch is called the Warrior Aspect, representing a different aspect of the Aeldari God of Combat Khaine.

The Avenger Warrior descended from the first Phoenix Lord, Asurmen.

After the Fall of the Aeldari, Asurmen led his Craftworld far from the ancient Aeldari Empire's homeworld and established the first tribe Warrior shrine there— the Avenger.

Wearing a magnificent crest made of green exotic creature mane, the Fierce Avenger, more distinguished than his kind, raised his Shuriken Catapult and launched a precise, overwhelming attack on Nimrod.

Shuriken Weaponry are almost synonymous with Aeldari, but most Aeldari, including Guardian, cannot control them precisely when attacking.

They employ monomolecular filament coverage attacks, more accurate than the Terran archers.

The Aspect Warrior of the Avenger Shrine are different; their faith stems from the anger of the God of Combat, Khaine, towards the Vaul the Smith God.

In Aeldari mythology, Lileath, the goddess of dreams, had a dream in Aeldari would destroy Khaine.

Lileath's dreams possessed accurate precognitive properties, and upon learning of the prophecy, Khaine naturally began slaughtering the Aeldari.

Isha, the goddess of life, begged the chief god Asuryan to save her child.

The Phoenician King Asuryan agreed to His request and erected a barrier between the Warp and the physical universe, stipulating that no deity may interfere in any affairs.

Isha, the Mother Goddess of the Aeldari, and Kurnous, the father god, could not sever their love for their child and secretly taught him to move forward.

After Khaine discovered this, he reported it to Asuryan, the king of the gods, who then handed the two gods who had defied the law over to the God of Combat for punishment.

The Oracle every punishment he knew to punish the two gods.

The Vaul the Smith God, made a pact with Khaine to forge one hundred swords for the God of Combat within a year.

Even a mortal wielding a sword forged by Vaul could easily defeat a thousand enemies.

Over the course of a year, Vaul worked day and night, but in the end, he only managed to forge ninety-nine weapons. He was forced to mix one mortal weapon into the forge.

Like other Aeldari myths, there are two versions of the sequel to "The Hundred Swords of Vaul".

In the version where the Avenger Teleport the Shrine, the God of God of Combat and the Aeldari were defeated in their war against the Necrons because of this ordinary weapon.

The Avenger's precise shooting stems from their anger at Vaul's broken promise; they strive to ensure that every single Monofilament Dart hits its target, inflicting the cruelest punishment on the traitor.

Every Avenger is a master of the Shuriken Catapult, using an extended version unique to the Avenger Shrine.

They have advanced computerized aiming aids on their shoulders, which are connected to long-range weapons via their armor.

The Panspectral Analyzer can work independently, detect and track multiple targets, project their information onto the helmet display, and distinguish between friend and foe.

They also forged a tight connection between their Wraithbone and Shuriken Weaponry, using a sophisticated locking system to launch precise and deadly attacks on their targets with Psionic Energy.

Under the command of the bishop, who was clad in extremely exquisite and magnificent armor, the Fierce Avenger launched a "Bladestorm" in perfect unison.

Hundreds of Avenger Shuriken Catapult locked onto Nimrod and pulled the triggers simultaneously.

The Dire Avenger emptied his weapon in an instant, each shard of Shuriken firing with perfect accuracy.

Razor discs swept in from all directions.

Each razor disc contains thousands of monomolecular filaments.

Each monomolecular filament, under the Psionic Energy control of the Fierce Avenger, was shot toward Nimrod.

Under the command of the Dire Avenger Exarch, a dense barrage of monomolecular Shuriken converged into a storm, covering the black armor.

No one could escape such a dense attack, not even the Primarch.

Nimrod raised his left arm to protect his head.

Dense monomolecular filaments converged into a storm, shooting onto the black armor.

The storm of Shuriken was blocked by the cast iron scales covering the black armor.

The scales were sourced from the Iron-Scaled Kraken hunted by the Primarch. The Tech Sergeant processed the scales and inlaid them onto the black armor.

The Monofilament Dart, powerful enough to tear apart a dozen Malcador Heavy Tank and pierce Stormbird's Void Shield, caused no damage to the Black Armor.

Nimrod swung his left arm, his Power Fist slamming into the Fierce Avenger. Golden light struck the Avenger's star-shaped launcher, tearing the Shuriken Catapult and the blue and white heraldic robes apart.

The Primarch ascended into the first level of Thelema's Mindset and swung his sword to block the attack of the Dire Avenger Exarch.

Nimrod, who had not felt any mental attack, was taken aback for a moment before realizing that the Aeldari had not yet discovered the Spirit Stone and the Berserker Sword had not yet been born.

Khaine's representative roared in anger and donned a "War Mask."
