Although the empire has always talked about faith and will, any sane person understands that the power that humans rely on most is actually the huge number and the nearly unlimited war potential compared to other races. However, when there are When a race is superior to humans in both aspects, then it will only be a desperate war in which no faith or will will work.
What's worse is that neither humans nor Ada even know basic information about where they come from. From a commander's point of view, it is difficult for Soshyan to accept this situation. Yes, this means that the other side will always be the attacker, and one can only passively defend and wait. This is an extremely unfavorable strategic passive situation, because the offensive side will only have more and more plans, and the defensive side can only passively defend and wait. With the reduction of resources and territory and the weakening of war potential, the available means can only become fewer and fewer. Although this situation is also reflected in Chaos enemies, such as the Black Legion, at least the basic information of the Black Legion is known to the empire. The war capabilities of Chaos can also be inferred through reconnaissance or prediction.
When Soshiyang observed further, in the endless void involving his consciousness, a hunger was staring back at him. When Soshiyang was alert, the voice uttered a name.
Xu Cong——
"Oops!"
Soshiyang growled, stretched out his hand to hold the black substance in Veronica's hand, and instantly annihilated it. Bandaram, who was sitting on his arm, suddenly started crying.
"What are you doing? Being so sudden and rough may hurt its soul."
Veronica quickly took Bandaram over and enveloped it with warm energy, while Soshiyan withdrew his hand in shock. Just now, he once again felt fear in the true sense.
No, even the dispute with the Emperor was more terrifying than the threatening posture of the other party. It was the tremor coming from the depths of his soul. Not only him, but even the gray marrow was trembling.
"It's bad this time."
Seeing that Soshyan still looked uncertain, Veronica asked:
"What's wrong?"
Soshyan turned his head and thought for a moment and said:
"Maybe. I was discovered by something."
"What? This is just a fragment of consciousness, and its connection with the Tyran collective consciousness has long been severed. Why?"
"Madam, I'm pretty sure something noticed me just now, and it knows Xu Cong's name."
Soshiyan took a deep breath and suppressed the uneasiness in his heart. Veronica looked at Bandaram who had stopped crying.
"No way, I didn't feel it."
"Maybe it's my problem."
Soshyan looked at Bandaram. At this time, the Tyranid features on the other person's body had basically disappeared. He was almost a pure Ada child, but because his hair became longer, he looked more like a girl. However, her purple Her eyes and the slightly protruding bone plates behind her cheeks still indicated her former identity, and then Soshiyang reached out and touched the other person's face.
"Sorry, Bandaram, I didn't hurt you, did I?"
The other party shook his head, but still looked a little scared.
"Well, at least the remaining Tyran instinct in you has been completely destroyed. Well, Veronica, why does she look like a girl?"
Veronica blinked.
"Bandaram originally had no concept of gender, but you frightened it and hurt it, making it hate males, so it chose characteristics closer to women."
As she spoke, she smoothed the other person's hair on his forehead and said with a smile:
"It's pretty good too."
At this time, Soshyan's thoughts returned to the information he had reviewed before, which made him look very worried. Veronica felt the unconcealable worry in his heart, and then said:
"Is Tyranid very big?"
The two of them were in a state of spiritual connection at this time, and basically knew what each other was thinking.
"Well, it's very big. It's so big that I feel powerless. Its target is not the empire, nor any other race, but the entire galaxy. What is driving them? And what is controlling them?"
"I just found that your things mentioned Xu Cong's name. Could it be?"
"This may be the source of my fear. After all, the Star Gods have created monsters like the Necrons in the past. If they create similar troubles again, it's really hard for me to imagine how to resist."
"It's not necessarily the Star God. No one can tell what kind of horrors there are outside the Milky Way. It is said that when some arks drifted to the outside of the system and then returned, the entire ark and the residents on it had undergone amazing and terrifying changes. However, It's just a rumor, there is no actual case yet."
"Maybe, but now we have to start seriously thinking about how to face the Tyranid Zerg. The tragedy of Malantai proves that it is completely impossible for the power of a single Ark to fight against even a small tentacle of the Zerg. If this force The terrible insect wave is sweeping across from the eastern part of the galaxy. We can't do anything with our current strength. The only way is to evacuate the Ada in the entire area as much as possible. However, I still have another worry. Judging from the recent situation in the Storm Star Territory, Maybe the real direction of the insect invasion is not the eastern part of the Milky Way that we are analyzing now. Alas, so this is the so-called passive attack. The enemy can invade from any direction, but we have no way to defend ourselves from every direction. We can only wait for the enemy to come. Only then did we know that the other party was coming.”
"I heard from Lord Jarn Zar that the ancient empire once established many outposts on the borders of the galaxy. They were able to detect obvious energy and biological movements within a range of several or even dozens of light years, and transmit them through the infinite matrix. Intelligence was quickly fed back to the Spirit Tree network, but after the Great Fall they were all shut down due to loss of control. Perhaps we can try to reactivate these frontier outposts so that we have a basic early warning mechanism."
"Can it still be restarted? It's been so long."
"It is said that the maintenance time of these outposts is about 5 million years. Many of them were built in the era before the Great Fall. It is still early to say that they have expired. I think a lot of them should be able to activate. However, all outposts are connected to the spiritual tree. Yes, if you want to recover, you have to build a new spiritual tree, which is a bit difficult now."
Then the concept of the spiritual tree entered Soshyan's mind. In human language, it should be called the Dream Tree. It was a snow-white tree with ridged bark, and sap crystals shone deep in the folds. The majestic giant tree with traces of traces, its trunk alone is more than 30,000 meters high. It is a creation that violates common sense of physics. Under the tree, countless crystals grow like fungi, and among the leaves of the giant tree that are as big as a person Many huge crystal pods can be seen, but they are not mysterious fruits, but operation rooms.
