Chapter 74 Struggle
The aerial battle lasted only an hour.
The brutal aerial battle ended after the Idaan air force withdrew.
It wasn't the overwhelming air superiority of the Thousand Sons that completely crushed the Shrike Knights, but rather the fearless Space Wolves that, without the air suppression of the Idaans, forcefully tore through the layers of ground defenses at Phoenix Cliff.
Those Shrike Knights who had fought the Thousand Sons but had not suffered much loss saw from afar that their ground defenses had completely collapsed and their last hope, Phoenix Cliff, had been completely lost.
Most of the disheartened Shrike Knights lost their will to fight and scattered. The remaining elites, who were determined to fight to the death, swooped down and landed in the core area of Phoenix Cliff like moths to a flame, putting up a desperate resistance.
After the fierce battle, Qianzi's less than a thousand Stormhawks, under Magnus's command, landed smoothly one by one on the summit plaza of Phoenix Cliff.
"Li Wei, hurry and rescue the Phoenix Cliff Library of the Ida people. The Ida people have surrendered, but the Space Wolves won't accept it. They want to destroy everything."
As Li Wei stepped out of the Stormhawk, which bore some bullet holes and burn marks, before he could even get a clear look at the chaotic battlefield before him, Magnus's urgent voice came through the power armor's built-in communication channel.
"Okay!" Li Wei responded without hesitation and immediately rushed towards the pyramid in the distance, which was made entirely of transparent golden glass and shone brightly in the sunlight.
As he walked quickly, he gathered the scattered warriors that Qianzi had just landed from the Stormhawk.
Amidst the orderly footsteps of the children, Li Wei's thoughts drifted into the distance.
They were about to face the bloodthirsty space wolves, but the conflict was unavoidable.
Although Qianzi has an almost instinctive thirst for knowledge and ancient books, there is no need for him to completely break ties with his brother, Space Wolf, over a few books.
In particular, after Li Wei became Qianzi's chief think tank, he subtly changed Qianzi's extreme obsession with knowledge and ancient books, preventing him from disregarding everything for knowledge.
Rather, it was Magnus, the proto-prime of the Thousand Sons, who needed knowledge, a great deal of knowledge.
Levi told Magnus the secret about how Primarchs could awaken the nature of the Warp without reservation.
Magnus truly deserves his reputation as one of the most powerful psionic beings in the galaxy. In just a few months, he gained a preliminary understanding of his own essence, which is a thick book.
Moreover, Magnus found the only way to awaken his own warp nature, which required knowledge, a great deal of psionic knowledge, to fill the Book of Magnus at his waist.
Magnus himself told Livy that the day his personally compiled "The Book of Magnus" was completely perfected, he would awaken to the nature of the warp and become a true demigod.
Not only to help Magnus grow faster, but also to preserve the ancient books and technological data accumulated by the Ida people over tens of thousands of years. The library that the Ida people of Phoenix Cliff are so proud of, Qianzi must protect it.
Moreover, Li Wei hoped to find a breeding technique in the library. He was somewhat interested in the artificial breeding technology of the Shrike Knight's exclusive mount. The speed and impact of that snow-white giant bird had deeply impressed Li Wei, making him restless.
The Thousand Sons Legion doesn't need this technology, but Vashtor does.
He planned to give Vashtor the shrike breeding technology so that he could develop his own air strike force.
He remembered that the demon factory in Vashtor didn't have many decent demon engines capable of flight.
As for whether Vashtor could domesticate and mass-produce this creature, Li Wei was not worried.
The cunning and unpredictable Vashtor not only has a base in the depths of the warp, where living things cannot survive, but also has a stable base in the real universe.
In his Eye of Fear, in that chaotic star field where the boundary between reality and warp was blurred, there were several forging planets filled with demon factories, producing all kinds of demon weapons day and night.
Boom!
The roar of explosive bombs and the howl of chainsaw axes echoed around the transparent pyramid, the final lament of the Ida people who would rather die than surrender.
Li Wei led over a hundred fully armed Thousand Sons warriors, repelled several groups of fleeing Aida soldiers who came to harass them, and finally arrived at their destination.
As they approached the library, they suddenly noticed a Thousand Sons warrior clad in scarlet power armor being kicked violently out of the tightly closed pyramid.
Bang!
Li Wei reached out and caught the soldier who was flying backwards in mid-air, comforting the thousand-man warrior who had been ordered to come ahead to protect the library, before looking up ahead.
Beneath the golden portal at the foot of the pyramid, a group of menacing space wolf warriors clad in wolf-gray power armor were blocking the way.
They brandished their buzzing chainsaw axes, roaring as they prepared to attack Senko.
The one who was holding back the Space Wolves from launching an immediate attack was an old soldier wearing a wolf-skin cloak. He was not wearing a helmet, revealing his weathered and deeply lined face.
Li Wei glanced at the leading veteran, his eyes narrowing, and said in a deep voice:
"Amrodi Skasen Skasenson, the fifth lord of the Space Wolves, why did you attack Senko's warriors without cause?"
As he said this, he pointed to the Thousand Sons warrior who had been kicked away earlier, his tone still relatively calm, but the next second, his tone suddenly turned cold, and he said:
"Amrodi Skasen Skasenson, are you trying to start a full-scale war between the Thousand Sons and the Space Wolves?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the fully armed warriors behind Li Wei raised their weapons at the same time, ready to fight at any moment.
"Heh!" Amrodi Skasen Skasenson looked at Levi's cold expression and knew that this was Qianzi's chief think tank. He was too lazy to waste words with the eloquent Qianzi. "Heh, I know what you want to do. I only have one request."
As he said this, he pointed to the Phoenix Cliff Grand Library behind him and said in a gruff voice:
"Defeat me in a one-on-one fight, and this library, which would otherwise have been destroyed, will be yours to command, Senko!"
"No way!" Li Wei shook his head upon hearing this, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
"What, scared?" Amrodi Skasen Skasenson scoffed, speaking with disdain.
"No," Li Wei said calmly, then pointed to all the Space Wolf Warriors and said even more calmly, "I was thinking, why don't you all come at me together!"
"Haha, I laughed." Amrodi Skasen Skasenson could no longer tolerate Levi's arrogant provocation.
Before he finished speaking, he stomped his foot hard on the hard rock ground, suddenly exerting force like a Fenris wolf pouncing on its prey, heading straight for Li Wei's face.
