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 the basic information about where they come from. From a commander’s point of view, Soshyan is It is difficult to accept this situation. It means that the opponent will always be the attacker, and one can only passively defend and wait. This is an extremely unfavorable strategic passive situation, because the attacker's plan will only become more and more difficult. The more resources, territories and war potential the defenders have, the more available means they have. Although this situation is also reflected in Chaos enemies, such as the Black Legion, at least the basics of the Black Legion are The Information Empire knows it, and 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 spit out a name. .
Xucong——
“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 , Soshyan 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 gesture 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
< br>“It’s bad this time.”
Seeing that Soshiyang still looked uncertain, Veronica asked:
"What's wrong?"
Soshiyang turned his head and thought for a moment and said:
"Maybe. I was discovered by something."
"What thing? This is just a fragment of consciousness, and its connection with the Tyran collective consciousness has long been severed. How?"
"Madam, I'm pretty sure that something noticed me just now, and it knows Xu Cong's name."
Soshiyang took a deep breath, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, Veronica He looked at Bandaram who had stopped crying.
"No, I didn't sense it"
"Maybe it's my problem."
Soshiyang looked at Bandaram. The Tyrannic features on her body have basically disappeared, and she is almost a pure Ada child. However, because her hair has become longer, she looks more like a girl. However, her purple eyes and slightly protruding bone plates behind her cheeks are still the same. After revealing her former identity, Soshyan reached out and touched the other person's face.
"I'm 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 instinct of Tyran in you is completely destroyed. Well, Veronica, why does she look like a girl?"
Vero Nika 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.”
< br>
After saying that, she smoothed the hair on the other person's forehead and said with a smile:
"It's pretty good."
At this time, Soshiyang's thoughts returned to what he had inspected before. In terms of information, this made him look very worried. Veronica felt the worry that could not be concealed in his heart, and then said:
"Is Tyron very large?"
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."< br>
"I just discovered that your thing mentioned the name of the Xu Cong. Could it be"
"This may be the source of my fear. After all, the Star God created the Necron in the past. If they cause similar troubles again, it’s really hard for me to imagine how to resist them.”
“It’s not necessarily the Star God. What kind of horrors there are outside the galaxy. It’s hard to tell. It is said that when some arks drifted outside the system and then returned, the entire ark and the residents on it had undergone amazing and terrifying changes. However, this is just a rumor, and 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 I 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 has expired. It's early, I think we should be able to activate quite a few. But all the outposts are connected to the spirit tree. If you want to restore it, you have to build a new spirit tree, which is a bit difficult now."
Then about the spirit tree. The concept of tree entered Soshyan's mind. In human language, it should be called the Tree of Dreams. It was a snow-white tree with ridged bark and traces of sap crystals shining in the depths of the folds. The majestic giant tree, its trunk alone exceeds 30,000 meters in height, is a creation that violates the common sense of physics. Under the tree, countless crystals grow like fungi, which can be seen in the leaves of the giant tree that are as big as a human. There are many huge crystal pods, but they are not mysterious fruits, but operation rooms.
