A Quantum Communication signal initiated from Phileas's flagship Eternal Lament Tomb Ship forced access to the Necrons ship controlled by Iax.

Holographic Projection was ejected from two Scourge-class Tomb Ship at the same time.

Due to concerns that the Program of the Necrons ship might be scanned by Tomb World itself, Iax did not connect itself to it, but only controlled the ship in the same manner as Necrons.

However, this also led to a problem. Although Men of Iron used clever methods to control the bodies of Necrons and used the technology they carried, after all, it did not have the unique protocols and permissions of Necrons.

Phileas, who is Triarch Praetorians, has the authority to forcibly 'call' anyone. Except for Phaeron of each Dynasty, no one can refuse their communication at the protocol level.

However, although the information from Omnissiah's Key is huge, it is too messy and does not include the information from Triarch Praetorians.

Among the previous Necron Dynasty, the number of these Triarch Praetorians was not large. They only served each Silent King.

Necrons controlled by Iax failed to recognize this Triarch Praetorians at all.

Even though the emblems and decorations on his body are so conspicuous.

And Phileas also looks weird.

He thought that the commander of the fleet might be a Necron Lord or some other noble.

But Immortals sitting in the command seat in Bridge's communication made him feel that his brain was a little down.

"Where is your commander?!"

The figure of Phileas echoes in the light-cured Communications Array.

However, when asked, Iax did not reply at all.

Necrons actually ambush the fleet in advance and wait for them here. It is obvious that the operation has been exposed.

The most important thing now is to hide your identity.

"Zizzizi."

Phileas looked at Immortals on the screen and seemed to say something, but there was only noise echoing in the communication frequency band, and then immediately turned to look at Cryptek on the side.

"What's interfering with our communications?"

However, Cryptek, who was being questioned, had a holographic panel pop up in front of his eyes. He observed it carefully for a long time and then shook his head strangely.

"We did not detect any interference and the communication status is normal."

Phileas once again turned his attention back to the communication screen, and then asked loudly.

"Take the initiative to open your Monolith Gate and let your commander come to see me. Immediately!"

"Zizzizizi."

In the picture, the green light on the head of Immortals flashes, but no sound comes out, except for noise.

This made Phileas a little unsure whether the other party heard him.

But in fact, Iax did not interfere with communications.

He just played noise directly in the communication.

But obviously Necrons never thought of such a weird operation.

Monolith Gate is actually Phase Portal on Tomb Ship. This device has special startup permissions.

Usually only the commander of Necrons has the authority to activate these devices.

As Impostor, Men of Iron can indeed activate this system normally and even use it to directly deliver troops to the ground, but it cannot connect with other Necron Tomb ships.

If you forcibly decipher and activate it, you will directly expose your identity to the other party.

However, Phileas didn't know, and just turned to look at Cryptek.

"Dolmen Gate is the connection complete? I want to execute Phase Teleportation immediately. Master Silent King hopes to capture the opponent's commander alive and find out the secret behind all this."

"Sir, they have not activated Monolith Gate. Do we want to force activation?"

Cryptek asked hesitantly.

"Activate it! Let the troops assemble, I will lead them myself."

Phileas carried the giant scythe and then glanced at the communication with only noise again, and walked out Bridge without looking back.

As Triarch Praetorians, he knows his fighting ability very well.

Even the ordinary Dynasty Phaeron is no match for it.

With these guys who have erased their own glorious identity, there is absolutely no way any powerful leader can rival them.

His phase sickle is already Thirst unbearable.

On the two Scourge-class Tomb Ship controlled by Iax, green energy began to flow from the silent Monolith Gate.

A flickering vortex began to appear within these strange devices.

With a slight buzzing sound.

The vortex was smoothed out and a superdimensional channel was established.

Iax heard the other party's conversation and also heard Phileas's command.

Obviously this is an extremely advanced Necrons. Men of Iron needs more latest information about Necrons. For this reason, Iax can take a little risk and try to capture the opponent alive and then immediately read the opponent's Thought Core to obtain some new information.

As for these fleets and the 'Necrons units' above.

Just overload the ship's core for a while and then plunge into the Dynasty World at your feet or the opponent's fleet will self-destruct.

Make sure not a trace is left behind.

In the open square in front of Monolith Gate.

Necrons, which is parasitized by Men of Iron, is ready.

These troops are arranged in a standard array.

In front are rows of Necron Warrior carrying Gauss Reaper, and behind are a small row of Immortals acting as commanders.

Standing in the gap between the teams was Scarab carrying Phase Blade and a huge Skorpekh Lord equipped with double Gauss Blaster and Hyperphase Reaping Blade.

At the end of several phalanxes are two squadrons of heavy-duty Locust Destroyer floating in the air.

Among these little Dynasty troops, there are no astonishingly powerful troops like Doomsday Ark or Annihilation Barge.

When two teams assemble Gauss Annihilator and Hatredfire Eraser, the heavy-duty Locust Destroyer is already the most powerful long-range destruction unit in the family.

And hidden in the corner, there is a group of Deathmark Assassin waiting for them holding Neural Shredder.

This amazing weapon is also effective against Necrons itself.

It can completely defeat his thinking.

As the light in Monolith Gate begins to flicker.

A group of Necron Warrior with the emblem of the Szerakhan Dynasty passed through Monolith Gate first.

The brainless Necron Warriors looked at these compatriots without emblems in front of them, and seemed to be unable to see the abnormality in each other.

After the Necron Warriors, a batch of Immortalss rushed out, followed by several Lychguards.

Phileas carried Executioner’s Scythe and followed closely through the hyperdimensional space pipe.

Looking at the Necrons troops in front of him who seemed to be preparing for an expedition, Phileas immediately saw the Skorpekh Lord among them and the heavy Locust Destroyer at the rear.

"Tell me your identity! You guys with no sense of honor, who asked you to erase the glorious Dynasty mark on your body?!"

Phileas's voice echoed in the square, but there was no response.

"Chi!"

"Boom!"

The blooming Hatredfire Eraser destroyed Monolith Gate with one shot.
