Although Soshyan knew that Huron would use the Black Stone, he really couldn't guess how exactly it would be used. The information provided by Occam was a timely help.
However, Occam has not figured out everything. In fact, Huron should have some additional arrangements, but this person's suspicion is indeed rare. Probably only he and a few people around him know about it. In addition, Occam also reminded Soshyan, Huron has increased the guard strength of Blackstone Fortress for the third time. Apparently he still cares about the warning of the mysterious sponsor.
This reminded Soshyan of the report from the Eldar. Garmozej and his gang disappeared after leaving Galmyk. No matter what method they used, they could not find them, so they suspected that these people might have disguised themselves. Entered the Red Pirates.
At this time, Huron increased the number of troops defending Blackstone Fortress.
Is it possible that Garmo Zejie and his gang are among them? After all, the red pirates are a mixed bag and are the easiest to penetrate.
If so, what are their goals? Is it also Blackstone Fortress?
Just as Soshyan was thinking, a hand was placed on his shoulder, and there was a soft touch on his cheek for a moment.
"What are you thinking about?"
With her long hair loose and wearing a light blue dress that hugged her waist, the bright and charming Veronica leaned her elbow on his shoulder, tilting her head and looking at him with a smile.
"Things about Blackstone Fortress."
Holding Veronica's hand and asking her to sit next to him, Soshyan immediately explained the situation to his wife in detail.
"It's incredible to be able to control Vaal's Blessing, even if it's just moving. Vaal's Blessing is the most sophisticated weapon even in the ancient empire era. What kind of existence can do this? Huron can't possibly also find the key, right? In the past Abaddon's Gothic War was an accident, and I don't think there should be a second time."
"Yes, so I have always been worried about the thing behind Huron. It is obviously not any force we know, otherwise it would not even be able to detect Occam. The unknown is the most terrifying enemy, and Now the opponent must be watching the development of the war. It will not give Huron so much support for no reason. There is no free lunch in the subspace. What kind of deal Huron has made with the opponent also makes me very concerned about you. This is war, and even if I seem to know Huron’s every move, there are still countless surprises that may happen at any time that are beyond my expectation.”
"But now in terms of military strength, fleet and equipment, the expeditionary force has a great advantage over the Red Pirates. Even if there are some accidents, there is still a certain error tolerance rate. Huron is called walking a tightrope. One wrong step is a mistake. Abyss, he is probably more nervous than you now."
"That's what I say, but war is not just about adding or subtracting numbers. By the way, how many troops has Doral prepared for this operation?"
"Well, you know, you haven't reorganized the army since the establishment of the Royal Court. Doral can only temporarily organize some armed forces. I'm not very clear about the specific situation. He probably originally had more than a thousand soldiers and some vehicles. , and there are about more than a thousand soldiers of the Lost Light. In addition, the Ancient Empire Navy also has a 300-person sea guard. The main force should be the strength of the Soul Forge, but I can’t say the specific number. After all, it is a The small ark world is mainly made up of craftsmen. According to normal calculations, the total number of warriors should not exceed 50,000. However, the ark itself also needs to be protected. It would be good to have 5,000 troops. There are some bits and pieces of clowns, rangers and the like that I really can’t count.”
Soshyan rubbed his forehead. He really couldn't imagine such a critical military operation. The commander couldn't even figure out the number of his own troops. Of course, this was not Veronica's problem. After all, she was there most of the time. Around him, and in addition to the fact that the royal court does not have a real army at present, it still maintains the organizational method of the Ark Spirit Clan that is close to a militia.
Of course, he is also responsible for this matter. After all, he is the nominal top military leader of this small Eldar court.
Then he put his hand on the back of Veronica's hand and said seriously:
"Veronica, why don't you leave this matter to Doral? I don't feel comfortable if you go like this."
Veronica looked at him and blinked her bright eyes like stars.
"Are you afraid that I will lose the fight?"
"No, it's just that according to Occam's intelligence, Huron has deployed heavy defense forces in Blackstone. There may be 3,000-5,000 Chaos Space Marines alone, which is equivalent to the number of several battle groups, as well as a large number of mortal auxiliary troops and An unknown number of Daemon Engines.”
"Aren't you still worried that I won't win?"
Soshyan really thinks so, because he has never come into contact with the Eldar in that Arkworld. It is hard to say whether the other party can be trusted. There are too few people directly under Doral, and Veronica is not familiar with the military aspect. She was confused. If something went wrong, she might not even be able to mobilize the troops to protect herself.
In fact, regarding the issue of Blackstone Fortress, Soshyan did not put all his treasure on the Eldar. After all, they were outsiders to this expedition, so he still made his own arrangements.
The Spirit Race is no longer the main plan.
"It's okay, you have underestimated me. Since the Red Pirates are going to have a decisive battle, they will not be able to deploy too many troops in Vaal's Blessing. After all, it is not the beginning of the war. Huron may not even have half of the original troops. No, how could he have so many remaining troops to be used as an ambush in the Black Stone? And although the current army is not well organized, its equipment has advantages. The Soul Forge has a large number of Nether Warriors and Nether Lords. In addition, we just want Controlling Vaal's Blessing rather than fully occupying it is not as difficult as you think. Besides, with only Doral here, how can we control Vaal's Blessing immediately? I have to go, don't worry."
Seeing his wife's persistence, Soshyan thought for a while and finally decided to respect the other party. After all, from the standpoint of the royal court, Veronica's will is the highest and he must follow her ideas.
Although this is not actually the case.
"Okay, since you insist, you have to promise me that you will keep Ganmora by your side at all times and not transfer him away."
"Okay, okay, I know~"
"Then when are you leaving?"
"I have to leave after a while, because some deployment and coordination still need to be done. Also, like you said, I need to at least understand how many troops will be involved in the operation."
Soshyan nodded.
"Okay, and if the battle situation is unfavorable, you can send a signal Anita, I will prepare a response plan, don't show off."
"I understand. It seems that you are well prepared, but you should also be careful. If Huron loses the red eye, he may jump over the wall in a hurry."
Soshyan laughed when he heard this.
"I really hope that he will jump over the wall and come to me to fight for his life, but it will save a lot of trouble."
