Behind the Men of Iron front, Bodyguard Robot looked towards Evelyn.

"You need to implement the evacuation plan immediately. Necrons has blocked the rapid deployment of our troops. The battle data analysis report shows that the situation is deteriorating rapidly, and a devastating blow will completely destroy this place. Everything will be completely destroyed by then."

Unlike the slow situation analysis of the Imperium unit, the battlefield situation analysis of Men of Iron is completely real-time and dynamic.

In fact, Evelyn is more anxious than anyone else. These people and equipment are an extremely important part of her future plan.

This Planet recorded in Aeldari is an ancient battlefield from the War in Heaven period. They came here to recover ancient equipment from a relic armory. It contains two Squadron Warp Hunter and one Vaul engine with three model Deathstalker (Deathstalker).

Warp Hunter equipped with Distortion Cannon can directly exile matter to Warp.

Deathstalker is a rare model among Aeldari Super-heavy Tank, which is different from those Scorpion Super-heavy Tank among Craftworld which only have 15mm Wraithbone armor.

Deathstalker is equipped with relatively thicker armor and has more powerful Starcannon, Shuriken Launcher and Pulse Laser.

Since the last time Evelyn brought back a large number of Craftworld Aeldari survivors, its momentum and prestige among Craftworld Aeldari have been once again increased, and several Craftworld councils even privately expressed that they would give her more help.

This is why in this operation, in addition to Aeldari soldiers from Reaper Host, there were also a large number of Aspect Warrior from Craftworld Aeldari.

Evelyn found this ancient Planet with the help of Craftworld Aeldari's fleet.

And successfully found the armory based on the prophecy from Seer.

Here they did find these amazingly powerful Ancient Aeldari Empire equipment, but they still encountered some accidents.

There are many abandoned ruins of Necrons on Planet, as well as the sunken and semi-collapsed Blackstone Tower. What's even worse is that many of the Necrons wrecks have not been completely damaged.

After Evelyn led his team to kill a Skorpekh Lord that had already fallen into madness, he successfully entered the armory.

Feeling bad about the surrounding situation, they opened Webway Gate and prepared to transfer those precious inheritances first.

However, just after Deathstalker and a Warp Hunter of Squadron entered Webway, the Blackstone Tower suddenly resumed operation.

Strong Anti-Warp Field quickly destroys the stability of Webway Gate.

Four of the remaining Squadron Warp Hunter were cut in half by the Webway door that suddenly closed.

There was also a small team that managed to survive because it had not yet been their turn to evacuate.

Realizing that if Blackstone Tower is not destroyed, the Webway system will not be able to function, Evelyn has to lead people to rush to the tower.

However, when they arrived, most of the wreckage of Necrons that was originally scattered everywhere had disappeared, and the half-collapsed Blackstone Tower was covered with Canoptek Scarab.

The tower has been completely restored.

Huge energy surges within it.

A huge Phase Gate was built below the tower.

Necrons rushed out continuously from it.

Evelyn, who originally had a numerical advantage, soon discovered that his advantage was rapidly turning into an irreparable disadvantage.

Necrons Too many.

And what's even worse is that the Necrons here appeared in large quantities in an organized form.

The square arrays composed of Necron Warrior stepped out of Phase Portal.

Followed by teams of Scarab and Immortals.

These basic units and the Aeldari troops led by Evelyn can easily destroy the opponent.

But when something like Doomsday Ark appeared, she realized that she was in trouble this time.

On the ground battlefield, with the current power of Reaper Host, the chance of winning is almost zero.

Only by pouring all the power of Craftworld into it may it be possible to deal with a small Necron Dynasty.

However, although Craftworld said that it would provide support to Evelyn, it is unrealistic to ask them to come up and fight for themselves.

For this reason, Evelyn took out the Quantum Communication device that Theatrical Troupe Solitaire gave him without hesitation, and then sent a signal for help to Men of Iron.

After the signal was sent, Guardian-class, which was escorting the tax collection fleet in the nearby world, arrived at the battlefield first, and immediately reported the information after briefly assessing the scene.

Necrons Iax is no longer as despised as before.

After confirming that the troops carried by Guardian-class were not enough to handle such a large number of Necrons, Sword of the Void, which was farther away, was urgently mobilized.

When Sword of the Void had just arrived at the edge of this information, the Aeldari fleet was already shooting at Necrons's ground troops.

Evelyn wants to use the fleet to destroy Blackstone Tower, who is responsible for suppressing the power of Warp.

Then immediately open the Webway door to get out of this Planet.

However, when Necrons and Phase Shield lit up on the tower, despair almost enveloped them all.

Orbital Strike has almost completely lost its effect.

And the Necrons Obelisk floating in the sky completely sealed the sky.

No transport vehicles can arrive and land normally.

Until Sword of the Void of Men of Iron arrives.

Warp Teleportation Device needs to guide sub-Spatial Energy in advance to provide Teleportation point coordinate guidance.

However Necrons Blackstone Tower blocked sub-Spatial Energy.

For this reason, Iax had a confrontation with Necron Technology before Men of Iron's troops reached the ground.

Just like the former Chaos demigod Vashtorr who powerfully charged Pariah Nexus, enough powerful energy can break through Anti-Warp Field.

But unlike Chaos demigod, Men of Iron will not use the power of Warp to corrupt Blackstone Artifacts.

Warp Teleportation Device was rapidly expanded and overloaded, eventually successfully paralyzing Necrons's Blackstone Tower.

Then Iax successfully sent the mechanical troops to the surface.

However, at that time, the Aeldari troops were already entangled by Necrons, and they had no way to immediately open the Webway door and escape.

When Men of Iron took over the battlefield, Evelyn reluctantly recalled all Aeldari teams.

Less than half of the tens of thousands of troops were left in the high-intensity firefight between less than two Terran hours.

They were even able to escape from the battlefield thanks to Men of Iron who helped them recover some of the souls Spirit Stone from the corpses on the battlefield.

And more Aeldari who were killed by Necrons didn't even have corpses, let alone Spirit Stone.

However, this battle is taking on an extremely terrifying aspect.

The four Primarch of Imperium watched in shock on the ground as the Men of Iron almost suppressed the Necrons troops on the Sword of the Void, thinking about what sacrifices and prices they would have to pay to win if they let Imperium face them.

But no matter how you think about it, the conclusion is extremely cruel.

After bringing back Aeldari captives from Men of Iron with the help of Guilliman last time, Evelyn carefully searched for information about these Federation Men of Iron's information. However, the destruction of the Ancient Aeldari Empire was too sudden and a large amount of data was lost. Evelyn only found a small verse of poetry.

"Milky Way The squirming metal movement in the folds

They weave chains with light years

Gravity-devouring fangs gnaw at star rings

Warp Rift oozing rusty blood

And human beings huddle in the cocoon of cognition and mutter to themselves."

Evelyn was shocked by the rumors in ancient poetry that the soulless creations created by human ancestors could be so tyrannical.

In the past, Federation could force Aeldari to give up the war. Men of Iron's war strength was naturally extremely amazing.

In fact, since the ancient War in Heaven, Aeldari has rarely been able to defeat Necrons. The Necronss are not sleeping in fear of the increasingly powerful Aeldari.

The arrogant Necrons was obsessed with revenge against C'tan, which led to many mysterious curses on Calamity. During many battles with Aeldari, weird virus outbreaks caused a large number of troops to be inexplicably paralyzed and caused huge losses.

Necrons decided to temporarily let go of the remnants created by Old Ones, and instead entered "suspended death" to try to see if he could avoid these extra-dimensional viruses from C'tan.

It is precisely because of this that Aeldari has the opportunity to dominate Milky Way.
