Seeing that the Kingdom of Lilarsus had lost so many young men, Soshyan made a suggestion - the royal court often had some barbarian clans whose homes had been destroyed come to seek refuge, and most of them were young men and women. If Lilarsus If the kingdom is willing to accept them, the royal court can try to organize them to come and settle.
King Sengupta accepted Soshiyan's proposal, and representatives of other clans also said it was okay.
While the two sides were discussing the details, urgent information was delivered to Soshyan through the prophets.
"Commander Giulio Pula Xing has completely wiped out the enemy's main fleet and is on his way back!"
Upon hearing this news, the whole hall of Ada, especially the residents of the Kingdom of Lilarsus, cheered.
"Revenge! Revenge!"
No one wanted to see more Tau people die more than they did. At this moment, Yifan suddenly stepped forward, half-knelt in front of Soshyan's throne, and lowered his head.
"Your Highness, please allow me to follow you to destroy these blue-skinned bastards!"
Obviously, he thought that after annihilating the enemy's main fleet, the next step for the Royal Court would be to retaliate against the enemy's world.
But Soshyan did not respond immediately, but said slowly:
"Prince Yifan, please get up."
Yi Fan didn't know what Soshiyang meant, so he could only stand up, and then the other party asked:
"Prince Ivan, how much do you know about the Tau and their country?"
Yi Fan thought for a while and shook his head.
"Go back to your highness, I don't understand."
Soshyan raised his hand, and a golden ball rose, projecting a huge star map.
"The one who attacked the Kingdom of Lilarsus was a world of the Tau, called Ke'shan, and it was only a very small part of the Tau's domain. Even so, it had more than a dozen colonial worlds. Prince Ivan, you are the kingdom What is most important to you as a future leader?”
Yi Fan was silent for a moment and said softly:
"Clan, home."
"Well, then I believe you should be able to make a judgment. After all, you can't abandon your home, right?"
Yi Fan was speechless, Soshiyang closed his palms, and the image of the golden ball disappeared.
"The Tau have paid the price for their actions, but more than that, the Kingdom of Lilarsus will be compensated."
After that, Soshiyan chatted with King Sengupta in private. This king did not have a strong desire for revenge. As a leader who ruled the kingdom for more than 900 arcs, he led the royal court to survive many green skin invasions and Thai invasions. Lun Invasion, so he has mature and rational thoughts. He knows that the living are always more important than the dead. There is no point in spilling too much blood for revenge. The royal court will not really give up everything for a barbaric kingdom. In that case, the people of the royal court would not agree. He agreed with Soshiyang's idea of giving up as soon as he could, and said that he would convince others.
With the support of the king, there will be no obstacles to Soshyan's subsequent negotiations.
But when the Tears of Heaven fleet returned to the Kingdom of Lilarsus, it brought a group of special guests.
They were several weird spindles that looked like huge white cocoon spaceships with metal shells of unknown material. Some extending spikes could be seen, which should be some kind of energy weapon.
Soon, Giulio came to the ground and reported the battle situation to Soshiyan in detail.
Due to the rush of the Ke'shan family's main fleet and the inconsistent performance of the ships, the Tears of Heaven fleet seized the opportunity and concentrated firepower to destroy their main fleet first. All the monitor-class aircraft carriers were sunk, and then Taking advantage of their maneuverability, they continued to fight three times in a row, completely wiping out this fleet. At this time, it can be said that the Ke'shan family no longer has any sizable fleet power.
But the battle unexpectedly attracted another group of wanderers.
They call themselves the Arrakans, and they originally lived in a galaxy called "The Veil", which is located on the west side of the current Tau Empire, close to the famous Gulf of Damocles. During the exploration of the Tau Empire in the 40s The fleet discovered the galaxy and the Arakans who had developed space navigation technology, and then sent a delegation from the Water Clan to persuade the Arakans to join the Greater Good.
However, the Tau Empire at that time had already gained considerable strength after long-term expansion, and their "persuasion" was not as gentle as in the past. The Arrakans had their own spiritual world. They believed that everything in the universe was composed of souls and non-souls, and the soul It includes two major categories: active and immovable. The combination of soul and body is arbitrary, unreasonable, and determined by the self, so it places great emphasis on personal practice and meditation.
This worldview that emphasizes self-spiritual independence is obviously inconsistent with the Greater Good. After being rejected, the Water Caste ambassadors immediately summoned the nearby Tau fleet that was already preparing to attack.
What followed was a brutal, protracted battle that the Tau called the Veil War and the Arrakhan called the War of Souls, one fighting for control of the region and the other to defend their home and spirit. war.
The technology of the Arrakans focuses on the combination of micro-organisms and machinery. They are able to create many small semi-biological machines to serve themselves, including construction and combat. For example, their cocoon ship is a unique combination of metal drawing technology called "golden". "Silkworms" are "spun" by micro biota, and the cities they live in are also designed in the form of mazes, which makes street fighting with them extremely difficult. At the same time, they also have a fighting creature called "Swift Plunderers" The swarm can penetrate into the enemy's machine, vehicle or armor through the smallest gap, and eat the enemy from the inside.
However, even with such power, in front of the overwhelming national power of the Tau, the Arrakhan tribe still fell into a disadvantageous position after occasionally winning a few small victories. Later, when entering the ground battle stage, the Holy Trinity Council of the Arrakhan tribe was even more defeated. Due to the assassination of a young Fire Caste commander named Farsight, the Arrakhan, who lost their command, were eventually driven out of their homeland forever, wandering on the edge of the Tau Empire, looking for opportunities for the continuation of the race.
And, of course, the chance to take revenge on the Tau Empire.
But as the Tau prospered, their lives became more and more difficult. The dozens of home ships that they once had were reduced to fewer and fewer under the continuous pursuit of the Tau Empire and its affiliated races. Once they made any move to settle, They will be attacked by the forces of the Tau Empire immediately, and they can only keep moving, running from the west side of the Tau Empire to the east side, which is near the Quiet Land. However, there are not only green skin activities here, but also the threat of Tyranids. Also exists for a long time.
There are only seven home ships of the Arrakans left, and there are less than two million people. Any accident will destroy this race.
However, they have never given up their hatred of the Tau. Recently, they heard that the Ke'shan family was starting a war again, so they wanted to see if there was any chance. As a result, they ran into the Tears of Heaven Fleet, which they thought was incredibly powerful. After annihilating them all, they immediately realized that they had encountered a civilization that was like a god.
