The Battle of the Stygian Shield Draws to a Close!

The Battle of Stygian Shield has come to the Veil in an unexpected way.

As the Hive Ship exploded in the dark galaxy, bursting into a dazzling display of fire, all the Blood Angels' Strike Cruiser around, including the retreating Blood Angels, silently paid their respects to the venerable cultivator who slept atop that warship.

Wertel, died in 999. M41, on the edge of the Stygian System, in the Pertita Death World.

This ancient Dreadnought cultivator sacrificed his life for victory, and once again protected the homeland of the Blood Angels after ten thousand years.

Whether it was a misperception or not, all the Blood Angels who participated in that battle heard a sigh as they were about to withdraw.

The voice was so familiar, as if it came from a memory deep within our genes.

Many even claimed to have seen golden wings, as pure and holy as angels, during the explosion. However, Dante, in his capacity as Chapter Master, issued a gag order afterward, forbidding anyone from mentioning it.

With the loss of the Hive Ship, the Terra fleet quickly descended into chaos. The dissipation of the Hive Mind also restored previously blocked communications between planets, bringing a glimmer of hope to the dying Imperium of Man on the brink of despair.

"Where do you think you're going?!"

Alvin, who was seething with anger, naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity to kick a man when he was down.

So he immediately contacted the "Sword of Redemption" and asked Carroll to give the warships above them a proper welcome.

After being bombed for so many days, shouldn't it be their turn?

The "Bifrost" that had been erected in advance on the Sword of Redemption emitted a dazzling light, stretching across space like a rainbow.

A terrifying beam of energy swept through the Materium, causing spacetime to collapse along its path. The Hive Fleet detected the energy fluctuations, but the beam was simply too fast, giving them no chance to dodge.

Boom!

The first Zerg Bio-ship was vaporized in a single blow by "Bifrost"!

Even from Pertita, the violent explosion triggered by that energy could be clearly observed, illuminating most of the night like a second star!

"Wow, no wonder it's the Protoss's ultimate weapon." Looking at the devastation caused by the "Bifrost," Alvin couldn't help but drool.

I can't help it, I'm just too envious!

For a fleeting moment, he even considered whether he should seize the "Bifrost."

But Alvin dismissed the idea after only a brief moment. He didn't need to offend Odin, with whom he already had a good relationship, over such a weapon. Besides, there might be even better things in the old man's treasury!

It doesn't matter, anyway, his two sons are almost taking on his shape.

After Odin dies, won't all of Asgard be his?

Alvin thought to himself with satisfaction, and breathed a sigh of relief; the Stygian Shield campaign was finally over.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, the remaining Hive Fleet will likely have little spare capacity to attack Baal.

After the Pertita Campaign, Alvin returned to the Sword of Redemption.

Although the Hive Ship controlling Terra was destroyed, remnants of the Tyranid Swarm still exist throughout the Stygian System.

It remains a significant threat.

Fortunately, without their neural nodes, the Tyran are merely a large number, and the Imperium only needs to concentrate its forces to slowly eliminate them.

The Krieg Death Korps, the 371st Siege Regiment, has also gone to support other worlds and take the opportunity to regroup.

The Krieg Death Korps suffered heavy losses in the Pertita Campaign and will need to remain there for several years, awaiting reinforcements and a new Commissar from the Department of the Munitorum.

After finishing writing, Alvin stretched, his eyes darkening. "By the Emperor, I'm finally done."

What he was writing was a battle report, which roughly reported to the Department of the Munitorum on the results of the Pertita Campaign, declared the merits of the Krieg Death Korps, and highlighted the name of the legendary Commissar, Kevin Leslie!

If it weren't for this legendary Commissar, they probably wouldn't have been able to eliminate that terrifying "Fate Weaver" so easily.

The remaining Tyranid Swarm in the Stygian System no longer need his help.

After the Sword of Redemption was repaired and a large number of workers were replenished, they set off for the Baal System.

Several days later, in the Baal System, on the Baal 2 satellite.

The Sword of Redemption hovered in orbit as Alvin, aboard a small spaceship, arrived aboard Dante's flagship.

His purpose in coming here was twofold: to bid farewell to Dante and to bring "Penny" back.

He had left Penny here because of the risks of fighting Tyran, and this time he brought her back with him.

"Your His Highness Alvin!"

When Alvin stepped into the Flagship, he was surprised to find that the Blood Angels around him were showing him respect.

Two rows of Blood Angels stood in neat rows, each with a different paint job, yet all in unison, striking their chests with their right fists in a gesture of respect.

"Thank you so much for securing this opportunity for us in the Pertita Campaign!"

He even spotted several Chapter Masters in the crowd.

"You have gained the friendship of the Blood Angels!"

"From now on, wherever you are, whenever you need help, we will travel great distances to come and assist you!"

This was a promise made by several Blood Angels' squad Chapter Master, its value far exceeding imagination.

Alvin, with the air of a nobleman, thanked them one by one before proceeding to Dante's office.

Dante was bent over his desk, handling official business.

He seemed to never rest; the war had just ended, and without even holding a victory celebration, he was already hurriedly dealing with the remaining affairs.

"I will never become like that again..." Alvin looked at Dante and silently vowed in his heart.

"Have you come to say goodbye?" Dante put down his pen, looked up at him, and seemed to have guessed Alvin's purpose.

"Yes, Lord Dante." Alvin nodded and said, "We shouldn't need to handle the rest."

Next, after bidding farewell to Dante, they will set off again for the Black Zone Frontier of the Imperium.

He couldn't help but feel excited at the thought of the unknown adventures they would face next.

"I was thinking of letting you stay a few more days..." Dante paused for half a second, and after seeing Alvin's expression, a stiff smile appeared on his face, "Never mind, I'll treat you properly when you come back."

"No problem, Lord Dante."

Alvin smiled and said, "When I come back, I'll definitely come to Baal and try their local specialty wines."

"Oh, right, since even Calgar gave you a gift..."

Dante's lips curled slightly as he looked at Alvin and smiled, "You've done us such a big favor, so I've prepared a 'gift' for you too. I hope you can make good use of it."

Gift?

Alvin froze. Could it be something strange again?
