Chapter 1729: Traces of the Wilderness
“The key is not suitability or inappropriateness.”
Soshiyang sighed softly and expressed his difficulty.
“But there is no way, and I have no more choices. First, I am not familiar with the senior commanders of the Astra Militarum, and second, I must ensure that every theater can obey the command’s grand strategy. , The third is to avoid the intervention of the Tribunal or Terra at the theater command level, then the Astartes battle brothers are my only choice, even if they are not familiar with the command position of such a large-scale battle. "< br>
After saying that, Soshyan thought that Veronica had also dealt with logistics matters recently, so he told the other party his thoughts about "military tickets" and the merchants' attitudes that seemed not to be cold. .
After hearing this, Veronica poked Soshiyang's cheek with her green finger and said with a smile:
"You, can't you understand this? Do you want to exchange a piece of paper for them?" Goods, but how much you print on this paper depends on how much you want. What will happen when the paper is printed into waste paper? "
"I only plan to circulate it within the expeditionary force. "
"Impossible, think about it, a clerk got a military ticket, which can be exchanged for ten ration bars, but he is not short of food bars now, he wants some beautiful clothes, you guess he is Will you exchange the ration bars and use them to change clothes, or just use the piece of paper to change clothes? Wouldn’t this military ticket leave the expeditionary force system and enter the market?”
“Okay? Regulations, use laws, huh."
Halfway through, Soshyan also realized that there was a flaw in his words. Veronica smiled and picked up a piece of shortbread and handed it to his mouth.
“If the law was so effective, your empire wouldn’t be so bad. If the surface market is not good, there is a black market. You should also know how developed the black market is in the hive city.”
“ It’s true.”
Soshiyang swallowed the shortbread in one bite and thought while chewing it slowly.
“Actually, there is nothing wrong with this idea, but you don’t have to think about it. Your duty is war. Just leave these things to others. You also said before that you want to focus on the military. .”
"Well, the problem is that at this strategic level, there are too many factors that affect the war, so many that it distracts me."
"You are not the only one. It's time to change the habit of doing things yourself. , there will be another empire waiting for you to worry about in the future. I think you might as well leave this matter to that Sylvie Clermont. I have talked with her several times. She has a lot of knowledge about economy and trade. There are many unique insights.”
Hearing this, Soshiyang suddenly smiled.
"Ha, it seems that her public relations is quite successful. Okay, you will tell her about this and try to formulate a detailed plan within a month."
" You make it sound like I took a bribe from her. I recommended her because she is really talented.”
"That's not what I meant."
Soshyan quickly wiped out the food. When he was about to continue working, Veronica, who was sorting out the documents, suddenly said:
"Yes "Yes, there is one more thing. The team sent by Mr. Doral seems to have discovered something. We may need to go there in person."
If Veronica didn't say anything, Soshyan almost forgot to return it. There is a small Eldar force operating in the Maelstrom.
"What discovery? I remember the report said that several traces of Eldar pirate activities were found. Could it be them?"
"It's not them. Those pirates have occasionally been active near the maelstrom a long time ago, but they rarely go deep into the maelstrom. The expedition team sent by Doral seems to have discovered some traces of ancient colonies, but they did not find any residents. It seems that there are no traces of them. It’s not like a virgin world. It’s suspected that those ancient remnants may be hiding in some underground space.”
“Underground space.” A memory emerged in Soshiyang’s mind. He had indeed been deep underground on a certain planet. Eldar settlements have been found everywhere.
"Exact location?"
"Four worlds on the edge of the pale star."
"Why should we go?"
"Because there are too few of them to search in the huge underground network. I want to personally feel whether the world spirit still exists, and you definitely don't trust me to go alone. , right?”
Seeing Veronica blinking mischievously, Soshyan sighed helplessly.
“But I can’t stay away from everyone’s sight now.”
“It won’t take long, because they found a shrine of Lilith, the goddess of dreams, in a world. As long as they light up the shrine’s spirit Fire, I can open the portal to the shrine.”
"Ah, you still have this ability?"
"Hmph, I am the daughter of Isa."
"Speaking of which, what are you and those, Wilderness Ai? Da? Have you ever dealt with them?"
Veronica thought for a moment and replied:
"I just went to a few virgin worlds with my mentor and briefly got along with the local compatriots. .As the first group to realize that there is something wrong with our race, our fellow wilderness compatriots chose to go to the edge of the wild world after realizing that the situation was irreversible, giving up most of the high technology and turning to work. After a long time, although they still retained some knowledge, their lives did become much more primitive, which also made their culture different, and eventually formed a brand new social form, that is, a tribe. According to the mentor In fact, this kind of tribal society is a natural state before the Ada society has entered its heyday. Each tribe swears loyalty to the local ruling tribe, and these ruling tribes are loyal to the priests of the temple, which ultimately constituted the early Eldar tribe. The foundation of the empire's pantheon system. However, after the Great Fall, most of the temples did not survive, and only those ruling tribes remained. Generally speaking, the society of the wilderness compatriots is often in a state of agricultural civilization, but some choose nomadic life, and they domesticate All kinds of alien beasts live together with the herds chasing water and grass.”
"It sounds like a relatively moderate group. How is their relationship with other Eldar?"
"The vast majority of Wilderness compatriots generally welcome other Eldar. They have good relations with most of the Craftworlds, especially The Aletok Arkworld is often visited and aided by the Harlequin Troupe. If any of the Comorian people are in trouble, they will also lend a helping hand because it is rich in various alien beasts and flowers, and there is often trade with Comoros. The caravan went to visit them. "
"Ha, those guys in Comoros will also do business normally?"
"This is of course not because they will be kind to their fellow tribesmen, but because they have done so a long time ago. There is a saying that any Ada who dares to plunder the virgin world will be ruthlessly hunted by all the Harlequin Troupes, so even the most arrogant Comorian Archons do not dare to violate this taboo."
" How is their relationship with humans? ”
"They stay isolated from the world most of the time and have no contact with other races. As long as they don't invade their homes, they don't care about humans."
"That's it. I'll talk to you sometime. Just take a trip."
Just when the two decided to secretly go to Pale Star to check the situation soon, an urgent encrypted communication was sent to Soshyan's office, and a mysterious Chapter company arrived. Around the Sagan galaxy, they did not go directly to the galaxy, but were hidden in a belt of small stars.
And this is the support Soshyan has been waiting for for a long time.
