Great! It's the Blood Angels! We're Saved!
It's so great to have Necron around!
This was Alvin's heartfelt remark after witnessing the profound power of the ancient galactic overlord.
Torzak threw out several Necrotech Scarab from his Pocket Dimension, and then he watched as the Canoptek Scarabs began to multiply at an astonishing rate after devouring the flesh and blood that had sprung up on the ship!
Immediately afterwards, the Necrotech Scarab began repairing the various damaged parts of the ship.
"This thing is really useful--"
If someone familiar with Alvin were present, they would immediately recognize that this statement clearly indicated he was interested!
"This is only a temporary repair," Torzak said calmly, manipulating the transparent panel. "Human spaceship technology is far too outdated for us. It's difficult to repair it without leaving any traces of the Xenos. Once we leave the Warp, you'll still need to find a planet to repair the engine."
"You've thought things through quite thoroughly," Alvin remarked, glancing at him with surprise. He hadn't expected the seemingly rough Necron Lord to be so thoughtful.
If we don't do this, we might attract the attention of the Inquisitor, which could be a significant problem.
"Don't misunderstand, human." Torzak sneered, "I just don't want to be dragged down by you. After all, if the Vought notices you, I'll be in trouble too!"
Although he had been asleep for a long time, after waking up, he learned about the current situation in the galaxy through the memories of those invading Chaos warriors.
The Imperium of Man —perhaps not a problem for the pinnacle of Necron, but for the current Necron ...
He's definitely a formidable opponent!
With the intention of minimizing trouble, Torzak didn't want to be targeted by the demonic witnesses of the Imperial Inquisition before Trazyn arrived!
"Have you thought about how you're going to explain everything that happened here to them after we leave the Warp?" Torzak had considered this very deeply, even taking this aspect into account.
But Alvin seemed somewhat surprised, turning back to look at him. "Explain what? I'm the head of the family, do I need to explain myself to others? I'm already being magnanimous by not asking them for explanations, who dares to ask me for one?"
These words left Torzak speechless.
The angle is a bit unusual, but to be honest, given Alvin's current prestige and status, no one really dares to question or interrogate him.
In the battle on Alert Star alone, Alvin demonstrated his toughness as the heir to the Merchant Dynasty and his political skills in maneuvering among the Imperium's high command, earning high praise even from the legendary Chapter Master Calgar!
Under such circumstances, unless there is solid, irrefutable evidence, who would dare to question it?
Several hours later, the ship's engines, which had been dormant, were restarted.
Torzak donned his Human Skin again, disguised himself as a high-ranking crew member, stood beside Alvin, and then released the crew members who had been Stasis Field from the Pocket Dimension.
Carroll looked exhausted, and when she saw Alvin, her face was filled with guilt.
But Alvin offered him a few words of comfort, explaining that encountering Warp Storm is something beyond human control.
Moreover, if it weren't for this Magos Biologis who remained calm and composed in the face of danger, the losses would likely have been even greater!
With a familiar vibration, the "Machine Spirit of Sword of Redemption" was awakened and regained control of its course.
"Mark the nearest Mandeville Point and immediately exit the Warp!" Alvin, as the highest authority holder, issued the order to the "Sword of Redemption".
Despite the heavy losses suffered by the crew, the "Machine Spirit" could still manage to leave Warp.
Finally, amidst intense tremors, they emerged from the Warp.
The deck above the porthole was raised, revealing a familiar yet strangely dark universe, but what first caught Alvin's eye were two stars.
The gravitational pull of the two stars restrains each other, forming a stable binary system.
More importantly, they finally saw a civilized world, only this planet's surface was engulfed in flames of war!
It can be seen that the civilized world on the Dark Imperium has been in a state of war ever since the Great Rift unfolded.
"Send a Psychic Power communication request to this planet."
Alvin instructed the Star Whisperer to send a notification immediately.
This was a necessary action; otherwise, if the ship approached rashly, it would easily be shot down by the planetary defense cannons on the surface.
To avoid harming friendly forces, making an immediate communication request is a necessary action.
After a short wait, Alvin finally received a response. "I am General Droste, the highest-ranking official of this civilized world. Thank you very much for coming!"
In the Astropathic Communication frequency, a middle-aged human, sitting upright and wearing a worn military cap, stood tall and straight.
With a grateful expression, he said, "Thank you, Emperor! The Imperium truly has not abandoned its people. Where are the reinforcements?!"
Reinforcements?
Alvin was taken aback by the question: What reinforcements?
Seeing Alvin's stunned expression, the general named Ross's expression also seemed to freeze. "Has the Imperium not sent reinforcements?"

"Wait a minute, tell me first, where is this place?"
Alvin had a headache, and an ominous premonition loomed over him.
"This is the capital of the Stygian System, the world of the Higanbana Civilization," General Droste said in a deep voice. "I am General Ross of the Astra Militarum here, and we are resisting the invasion from the Hive Mind, 'Leviathan'!"
The Stygian System... Alvin's eyelids twitched violently, and his mouth went dry. "The Stygian System you're talking about, could it be the Stygian Shield?"
"That's right, this is the Stygian Shield."
General Droste nodded and said, "Since the Great Rift opened, we have been resisting the invasion from Chaos and the Hive. Currently, the defenses of the Diamond Shield and the Bastion Ring have been completely breached by the Hive fleet. We desperately need reinforcements from the Imperium!"
Alvin turned around and glanced at the time.
M41.999, which means this is the final stage of the Stygian Shield campaign!
"Great! It's the Blood Angels!" At this moment, General Droste's face suddenly lit up with ecstasy. "It's the Blood Angels' team! We're saved! The Stygian System is saved! The Angel of the Emperor have arrived!"
However, this one sentence plunged Alvin into an icy abyss.
He turned his head stiffly, his pupils suddenly contracted, and cold sweat poured down his forehead as he stared intently at the star map.
"Hundreds of Space Marine cruisers have been spotted ahead. Based on the identification signals, they belong to the Blood Angels Chapter."
Looking at those cruisers, Alvin couldn't help but blurt out a "Holy crap!"
In the late M41.999, due to repeated failures in resistance, and in order to protect their home planet Baal, the great Chapter Master Blood Angels Dante a horrific order: he decided to emulate a certain Inquisitor and carry out a scorched-earth policy, exterminating the surrounding star systems!
In this way, the insect hive fleet, having lost its Biomass, will change its course!
Among the star systems subject to the Extermination Order is their own Stygian System, and its capital, the civilized world with a population of 38.5 billion... the Higanbana!
