"this"
Soshiyan and Veronica were both shocked. He knew about the Tyranid brainworm. This kind of psychic creature was recorded in the Tyranids' biological catalog, but they usually followed the army and rarely appeared alone. , because their own defense capabilities are very weak, and they rely entirely on powerful spiritual energy to command the surrounding Zerg or launch psychic attacks.
The prophet closed his eyes in pain, seeming to recall the horrific scene -
"We didn't expect that this creature would actually start to devour the souls of ancestors in the infinite loop, and its power would increase to an unmatched level in the process of devouring it! When the brainworm's consciousness spread to the entire Ark, we lost everything The means to fight it were accompanied by terrifying psychic screams, and the souls of many tribesmen were torn apart alive!"
"It was actually destroyed by a brainworm. So what happened to it?"
"I heard that because it swallowed too many souls, it attracted the attention of the enemy, and was eventually overwhelmed by the swarming demons. At least when we returned to the abandoned home, it no longer existed, and only the Gray Knights who cleaned up the demons Waiting for us, and handed back the remaining soul stone."
Soshyan then asked a very strange question.
"Didn't you have any conflict?"
The prophet shook his head.
"No, at first we were very angry, thinking they came to destroy our home, but after seeing the soul stones they handed over, we realized that they protected the souls of our ancestors, and I saw the scars on their bodies, We used to despise humans, but at that moment I knew that some things were not determined by race. They were indifferent warriors, but also noble heroes. We expressed our gratitude to them, and they just left silently."
Soshiyang nodded, seeming to mutter to himself:
"So. In fact, many things can be changed for the better. Maybe I am too pessimistic?"
Then he recovered his thoughts and asked the other party:
"Can the Malantai world be restored?"
"Back to Your Highness, I'm afraid it's impossible. The brainworm has completely drained the soul power of the infinite circuit. Although the keel structure of the Ark has not suffered substantial damage, it has lost its activity."
The infinite loop is the core of the spiritual bone structure of Ada Ark. It is not only the home of the souls of every Ark Eldar deceased, but also the source of the Ark’s spiritual energy driving force. It can transmit soul energy throughout the Ark and provide support for the Ark. The equipment provides power and is also connected to the network channel in turn to form the so-called eternal matrix, which facilitates the communication between different Ark worlds.
"Then, Prophet Wenceslas, I must tell you that after the world of Malantai is found, its ending will either be to dismantle it and take away its useful parts, or... to become a city affiliated with the royal court, or You are the former residents of the rail facility, and I leave this choice to you."
"Your Highness, we have been mentally prepared for this. Malantai is not a huge Ark. In order to deal with the constant harassment of the green skins, the Ark has already been highly fortified. The ancestors built a large number of defense facilities and obtained them through various means. Many ancient weapons, which is why we have been able to resist the endless winding dragon for so long. We only hope to move away the temples of our ancestors and some ancient ruins, and this powerful weapon can contribute to the rejuvenation of our race. strength."
"Do you really want the royal court to transform Malantai into a weapon?"
"Yes, this may be the best ending for Malantai. Its destiny is probably born for war. After all, there have been few moments of peace since the fall of Ark."
"Prophet Wenceslas is righteous, and the residents of Malantai are righteous. The royal court will remember your contribution. No matter what it is in the future, the name Malantai will never change."
According to the reconnaissance, the greenskins who occupied Malantai did not have a powerful fleet, so Soshyan did not prepare to bring a powerful fleet. He only used the Stygian Butterfly Tar Anlek, 2 Nether Ships, and 4 Dragons. Aoi, 10 Shadow Hunters are performing missions, and other ships are on alert and maneuvering in Esro. Anyway, the distance between the two places is not too far, and support can be provided at any time.
In terms of military strength, considering that the number of greenskins is not too large, Soshyan only mobilized half of the troops that came to assist Esro. Frost Star has left because of other tasks and will not participate. The Ironsworn can also participate in combat because they have a long-term military service contract. In fact, this force is still slightly thin compared to the nearly one million greenskins.
But Soshyan still has a force he can use, which is the Creeper Alliance.
After determining the combat personnel and ships, the fleet immediately set off, but it did not go straight to Malantai, but first bypassed this icy tomb floating in the void and came to the edge of a strange galaxy.
At this time, there is already a small fleet waiting here. Their shape is very unique. Their appearance is somewhat similar to Tyranid's biological battleships, but they are made of metal and crystal, but they are smaller than Ada's cruisers.
After identifying themselves, three alien messengers with unique shapes were brought to Soshyan's throne.
The representative of Chikanti is an individual with colorful skin, who according to them is one of their most noble royal members, while the Urume Atik is a slender body, gray skin, and an oval head A flying race with only one eye and one mouth, respiratory organs on both sides of the neck, strangely long legs and four arms, and membrane wings between the upper and lower arms. Their representatives wear gorgeous clothes woven with the feathers of unknown creatures. Dressed in long robes and nearly three meters tall, Drathian is a strong humanoid race with body proportions that resemble a human, but is covered in thick hair, with a somewhat fierce face and a prominent oval nose. There are also upward protruding fangs, the eyes look a bit small, and there are protruding tumors under the eyes. I don’t know what organ they are. There are a pair of small ears on both sides of the head. In short, this appearance is quite good for human signs. They are ugly, but their physiques are very developed, and they are no less inferior to the Seoglin people. The visiting one is like a hill, wearing gray and black armor, and looks very majestic.
"I have met His Highness the Phoenix King."
The three messengers made different voices through Ada's translator and performed different etiquettes. In fact, Soshyan even had some trouble with the Aida around him about this matter. Some etiquette consultants insisted on these The "Zuer tribe" knelt and "climbed" all the way to Soshiyang from the entrance, saying that this was the ancient empire's rule for receiving foreign envoys. At the beginning, the most common reason used by the Ada Empire to destroy a race was "lack of etiquette." , it can be said to be quite overbearing, but not as overbearing as the Human Empire.
Soshyan had a new understanding of the arrogance of the ancient Ada Empire, but he didn't like this unnecessary insulting etiquette. Besides, what's the point of putting on such a show when the empire is gone?
Therefore, he went against all opinions and not only threw away all the cumbersome rituals, but also changed the meeting etiquette to the etiquette used by the other party's own race.
Therefore, the etiquette of these three messengers is completely different. The messenger of Chikandi stands up with his forelimbs raised above his head. The messenger of Urume Atik lies down instead, with his hands clasped together, and Drathian kneels on one knee. Kneel on the ground and raise the fist of your right arm above your head.
