Chapter 2499 Shadow Ghost
Driven by curiosity, Soshyan also took a gunboat to visit the dilapidated Malantai, which gave him a deeper understanding of this place. After many Eldar people were massacred, In this place, strange soul bone forests have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. An unclaimed soul stone hangs on each strange bone tree. The Adas believe that these are cursed areas and they die there. The souls become particularly aggressive in pain and anger, and their emotions are still lingering there even after they have disappeared.
This is something that must be "eradicated" if it is to be rebuilt.
In addition, most of the transportation pipes inside the Ark have been broken, and some areas have been sealed by healed spiritual bones, like scars growing on wounds. This is also the most unique thing about spiritual bones. , even if the supporting energy is lost, it will still grow and heal slowly.
When we arrived at the residential area, we could see only ruins everywhere. Many of the former residences of Malantai residents had been burned into a barren plain. Before the brainworm tore apart the ark, they had suffered Inflicting severe damage, the Naga Hive almost killed most of its residents. The psychic impact of so many deaths was extremely huge. This is also the reason why the Malantai prophets were not aware of the invasion of the Cerebrates.
The gunboat flew past the charred remains of palaces and parks. The deep twilight shrouded these supposedly beautiful and romantic places. Ghostly lights shone from the cracks in various structures. The place was once gorgeous and bright, with human voices. There was a lot of traffic and a lot of traffic, but now it's just a tomb.
The Naga Hive Fleet's dying struggle was terrifying. The scars of the Tyranid bioweapon attack could be seen everywhere. There were even the bones of many giant beasts scattered everywhere. Some places on the ground had been destroyed. The core of the spiritual bone at the bottom has been exposed, and the Bonesingers may need to work for many years to restore it, although time is a very vague concept to Ada.
However, it is not without good news. At least those who occupied the Ark, whether they were demons or greenskins, did not have much interest in Ada's belongings, which made most of the Ark's properties relatively intact, especially the The armory, because it was well hidden, was not discovered by the greenskins, and they were not interested in Ada's "slender" weapons. On the other hand, there were a lot of greenskins with less than a million, but for Ada's huge ark, It is not particularly large in terms of volume, especially after the transportation system was completely stopped, only a very small amount of the surface area was occupied by the green skins. Perhaps it is because they are afraid of those "supernatural" phenomena related to Ada's soul, which is commonly known as fear. Hell, the greenskins don't dare to go too deep into the core of Malantai's Ark. (To tell you an interesting thing, although the green boys are not afraid of demons, they are surprisingly afraid of ghosts)
So Malantai’s arsenal also has a large number of weapons and equipment and a small number of vehicles, such as Warrunner mechas, Wasp attack boats, etc. After all, most of Malantai's heavy vehicles were destroyed in the battle with the Naga Hive, but Soshyan didn't care so much about the equipment, because Ada The production of weapons is completely different from that of humans. If necessary, the Bonesingers can quickly produce the weapons they know. There is no need for factories or equipment. As long as there are enough Bonesingers, there will be enough equipment. The Eldar will always be in short supply. It’s the people, not the equipment.
In addition, there is a large amount of property stored in the living area and storage area. Perhaps the greenskins are completely confused about the value of these items. Except for a small part that was destroyed, most of them are still in a complete state of storage. , these remnants of Malantai can only claim part of it, and the rest will all go into the royal court's treasury.
The most important thing is Malantai's spiritual relic storehouse, which contains the most important ancient weapons and sacred objects in the Ark World. When Malantai's remnants returned to the Ark, they only had time to take away a small part, and most of them themselves It cannot be taken away, and there is no place to store it. Many of them are very precious ancient weapons that have existed since the creation of Malantai. In addition, there are three huge phantom titans inside. Perhaps the Ark was destroyed too much. Suddenly, their homes were destroyed before they were used, and the souls inside were annihilated without a trace, leaving only an empty shell. But even so, as the largest Titans in the Craftworld, they are still precious.
In addition, the most special items in the spiritual object library are thirty sets of shadow ghost armors and a set of shadow ghost bishop armors. In fact, Soshiyang was surprised when he saw this mysterious armor for the first time. , because as far as he knew among the Ada paths, the Shadow Ghost was the rarest of the rare, even rarer than the Dark Death path, and almost the same as the Shining Spear path that had almost disappeared.
And these two paths also have a common feature, that is, the Phoenix Lord has disappeared. However, Soshyan heard from Doral that the Phoenix Lord Iris of Shadow Ghost has been reborn, but these are limited to certain rumors, and it has not officially appeared in public so far.
The positioning of Shadow Ghost is somewhat similar to that of Dark Death. They are both long-distance snipers. However, their combat methods are very different. Shadow Ghost snipers enemies from hidden areas. Their target is a highly mobile anti-armor infantry, which is good at attacking enemy vehicles at ultra-long range in concealed areas. Their standard equipment is an ultra-long-range and high-power anti-vehicle weapon such as the Prism Rifle. They are also equipped with a jetpack, which can Have them hunt marked targets at incredible angles, or appear in the sky to unleash devastating firepower, appearing like a blurry pale ghost as they snipe enemies from the sky.
This tactic allows them to avoid enemy retaliation when attacking the enemy, and the flickering holographic field they carry can also prevent enemy sensors from locking on, even if they are within the field of vision, it can also interfere with the vision of the Necron. device.
The Shadow Ghost team generally consists of three to five people, but does not include the Bishop. However, when the team members concentrate their firepower to form an anti-armor laser called the Ghost Beam, the Bishop is required to locate and launch the attack.
The fact that Malantai possesses the armor and weapons of Shadow Ghost shows that there once existed a shrine of Shadow Ghost in this world, but perhaps because of the long-term disappearance of the Phoenix Lord and the death of the bishop, this path eventually ended in Malantai. Completely extinct, only the armor and weapons of the former warriors remain, just like the declining population and fate of Ada.
It is said that the Shadow Ghost represents the aspect of Bloodhand Kane as the eternal warrior, meaning that death cannot prevent the fulfillment of responsibilities, and the Dark Death also claims to represent an aspect of Bloodhand Kane, that is, destruction The appearance.
So when looking at the armor and weapons of Shadow Ghost, Soshyan half-jokingly asked Doral a question.
"They all have the same long-range shooting positioning. If we let the warriors of Shadow Ghost and Dark Death compete, who is stronger?"
