Although he was sure that the secret to cracking Asuryan lay in how to save Isha, Soshyan was a little unhappy. He had a feeling that he had been calculated by a certain existence, or whether all this was controlled by someone or someone. What about the calculations of a certain Eldar prophet?
And not to mention how dangerous the Nurgle Realm is, and the huge potential pressure of facing the evil god, Eldra will definitely intervene from the moment he sends Veronica to Soshyan. You can already guess that this old immortal must know a lot. It is very likely that he also knows the secrets of Gray Marrow. He has been using himself from the beginning, but it is really difficult to let him go. After all, he is No one who has been to the Gardens of Nurgle himself knows what to do better than him.
But if we really want to cooperate with the other party, Suoshiyang will not forget Mortal's reminder.
Relying on his own wisdom alone, it was too much to fight against such a thousand-year-old monster. Soshiyang thought about it and realized that he could only go to the Bewitcher to see what the other party had to say.
Just as Soshiyang was thinking, the sound of slight footsteps behind him suddenly alerted him. He immediately pressed his hand lightly, and the tabletop immediately sank, and the notes and booklet were replaced by a thick book called Tau Threat Report Assessment. .
"I see you have been in a daze just now, what's wrong?"
Velez, who was wearing a black nun's robe, came to Soshyan's side, put her hands softly on his shoulders, and then looked at the table curiously.
Accompanied by the faint fragrance that penetrated Soshyan's nose, when he turned his head, he happened to see the orange light being softly refracted by the glass, dimly illuminating the surroundings of Velez, making her face so soft and peaceful, and her eyes like one. The autumn water is flowing, her eyebrows are like distant mountain daisy, her skin is better than the first snow, her thin pink lips are dotted with delicate but not frivolous facial contours, her golden hair is scattered on her shoulders, and the tips of her hair are still a little moist, and The statues of the saints in the monastery are so similar, as if they are the embodiment of gentleness, kindness and forgiveness, but there is a hint of weariness in the corners of their eyes.
The solemn black nun's robe wrapped her well-trained but plump body, outlining the undulating and attractive curves without the restraints of armor. She was so plump and beautiful, but if she had more, she would be bloated, and if she had less, she would be sour.
"Nothing, just take a look at the latest reports from these Alien Tribunals when you have nothing to do."
Soshyan smiled and pointed at the books piled up on the side of the table. There were books about Greenskins, Necrons, and Tyranids. The Alien Tribunal would compile the latest alien threat reports every once in a while. , they are less sensitive than the Demonic Tribunal and the Heretic Tribunal, so as long as you have a certain identity, you can get it from them. Of course, Soshyan can ask for it, but he is too lazy to look for those trials that are gloomy all day long. Sir, these were given to him by Tyrion.
"Tau?"
Velez blinked, her long eyelashes making the gesture unexpectedly cute.
"Isn't that a very weak alien race?"
"Well, maybe now. But they are different from other alien threats. At least in my opinion, they are very likely to become a thorn in the side of the empire."
This is not just random talk by Soshyan. During this period, he actually read the reports of the Alien Tribunal carefully. There was nothing to say about the green skins. They were everywhere as always. The reports of the Eldar were mainly concentrated on the Dark Eldar. Regarding the sporadic attacks by the Ark Eldar, the only major event was that the Aletok Ark World, which was marked as a serious threat, attacked and destroyed the monastery fortress of the Invader Chapter. Only three companies of the Invader Chapter escaped, and the Alien The Inquisition did not say the specific reason, but it was inferred that it might be related to an Eldar world that the Invader Chapter had massacred in the past. This really made Soshiyan feel very confused, because this Chapter was still in the world with the Astral Knights. A warband that fought side by side in the Engine Campaign.
There is no fundamental conflict of interest between the Ark Spirit Tribe and humans, but such conflicts, large and small, are constantly superimposed, causing the two sides to continue a meaningless battle. However, Soshiyang has no good solution, and the Eternal Royal Court itself has no solution. He can't control all the Arkworlds, let alone the actions of humans. This is why he has been unwilling to take charge.
If you can't solve it, you can only turn a blind eye.
As for the Necron and Tyranids, they were rarely mentioned in the report, but the report of the gene stealers in the Storm Sector made Soshyan a little concerned. In the past few years of the expedition, he did not expect that it would become so violent. Large-scale Genestealer tribe activities and riots have occurred in almost all sectors of the Storm Sector. The Death Watch seems to have deployed more than a dozen additional killing teams, but more troops are still needed.
The Tau report is second only to the green skin. It is obvious that the Inquisition is also paying close attention to this small alien empire rising on the edge of the galaxy. The social and cultural information is collected very comprehensively, allowing Soshyan to even read the report. We can also get a preliminary impression of this race that is said to have only risen for a few hundred years.
Putting aside those very subjective comments, many alien inquisitors are also worried about the Tau, because they are one of the few who know how to "incite" aliens from other races, including humans. This kind of instigation has nothing to do with the genes of gene stealers. Pollution is not the same, and it is different from the temptation of chaos that causes people to fall.
One of the judges’ comments was very sharp and profound——
They are so vicious that they distribute food and medicine to refugees!
"They were not eliminated immediately because they occupied a remote corner. As long as another expedition is organized, these ugly aliens will be wiped out."
Velez's words were very relaxed. This is also the view of most people. After all, compared to most of the enemies of the empire, the Tau are indeed not that big in size and strength.
But Soshyan shook his head.
"It's hard to say. The enemies the empire faces are either cruel, dark, capricious, or irrational. Only Titanium is."
Soshyan hesitated for a while, but in the end he did not say the word 'civilization'.
"They are indeed still weak now. Anna, there have been more than one example in human history where huge empires and nations were conquered by small forces that were insignificant in comparison. Even when the Emperor first conquered Terra, it was only Terra. The weakest among many warlords and forces. In the early days of the Great Crusade, there were many alien kingdoms and human kingdoms that were larger than the Empire. Races came and went, empires rose and fell. The Milky Way millions and millions of years ago. Overlord, where is it now? The Tau race has been able to rise to prominence over hundreds of years, and even defeated the Empire in the Damocles expedition. There must be something unique about it, until everything is out of control. It may be too late to pay attention to them."
"What's wrong today? You seem a little uneasy."
As he spoke, Velez's hand gently brushed Soshyan's forehead, as if to smooth the skin on it.
"Just some sighs."
Suddenly, the communicator on Soshyan's desk rang, so he reached out and pressed the button.
"Chapter Commander, an aircraft marked as unidentified is about to enter the flight deck. The communication code they sent shows that it is Manta Ray."
Manta ray was the code word for the Imperial Guard deliveryman that Trajan had told Soshyan before. He immediately said:
"Let them in, I'll be right there."
