After listening to Doral's analysis, Soshyan touched his chin and said with a hint of teasing:
"Ai Qing, there is something in your words. Do you think there is some conspiracy hidden in it?"
< br>Dolar's face showed a smile, and then he whispered to Soshyan:
"Your Highness, I dare not say the conspiracy, but it must involve the conflict between Asulman and his disciples. If the royal court wants to unify the Ada clans, these Phoenix Lords must be dealt with. Although many of them work alone, they have a strong influence on all Arkworlds, especially on all paths. And the shrine, if combined with the dissidents, will be a very troublesome force."
"Well, the truth is correct, but why is it the dimensional spider?"
"Your Highness, perhaps the Dimension Spider Bishop from the Arkworld of Kelor can answer your question. It was the first documented Arkworld where a Dimension Spider Shrine appeared, and it was also the only place where rumors of the Dimension Spider Phoenix Lord appeared. This world Currently wandering in a fringe area of the Milky Way, an area also called the Kronos Expansion Area by the Human Empire."
"It seems that your intelligence work is very good, so you must have made arrangements. , the investigation on the dimensional spider Phoenix Lord continues. One thing you are indeed right about is that the Phoenix Lord is an issue that no Ada regime can avoid now."
Carrying out inventory work in Soshiyang. Meanwhile, Veronica was busy spreading healing light to those injured, while mourning the few who died.
Of course, the Creeper Alliance Soshyan has not forgotten it. They fought very bravely and suffered a lot of casualties. Soshyan spoke highly of their contribution, and the Creeper Alliance I also truly intuitively felt the power of the Eternal Royal Court, especially after knowing that the powerful monster that had scared them half to death had been tamed, I became even more aware of the gap in power between them.
Even the most stubborn warriors have to admit at this time that there are not many opportunities left for them. After this battle, the Eternal Royal Court may not pay attention to their "goodwill". After all, the three races together can It’s just an insignificant force, but the threat they face is real. After all, Tyranids have already come once, and no one can say whether they will come next time. And even if Tyranids are not mentioned, the Empire’s The sudden appearance of the expedition fleet in the star area also made them very vigilant and frightened.
For them, there is no difference between the Empire and Tyranids in a sense. It is too difficult for these small races that have suffered serious blows to survive. They have no retreat and room for error. Even a large-scale battle They can no longer bear a larger war. If the Eternal Royal Court had not taken action, this group of green-skinned pirates might have been enough to wipe them out.
So the three envoys of the Creeper Alliance decisively sent a detailed report of the battle and corresponding opinions to their leadership.
Soon, a larger group of envoys came to Malantai, and this time they brought only one message -
Surrender. After a brief but intense discussion, the Creeper Alliance decided to seek protection from the Eternal Court, and the two sides immediately held brief negotiations on Malantai.
Since it was the opponent who wanted something from him, Soshiyang also showed his consistent efficiency and resoluteness.
The Creeper Alliance can seek asylum, but some conditions must be accepted. There are twenty-two articles in total, and the most critical of them are five, which together are also called the Malantai Treaty.
First, the Creeper Alliance needs to be disbanded. Each of the three races plays its own role. The Chicanti remain intact in their own galaxy, while Ulume Atik and Drathian The two races must go to new galaxies to develop separately. The Royal Court will find them new settlements in this sector and provide them with adequate survival materials in the early stage. But similarly, after the three races are stabilized, they will be determined according to their homes and The output of the race needs to pay tribute to the Eternal Queen on a regular basis in accordance with negotiated standards. The specific content is determined by the royal court.
Article 2, all three of their clans must regard Veronica as the supreme ruler. If it is a non-imperial system, then the parliament or other decision-making bodies must legally clarify that the Eternal Queen is the nominal supreme ruler. If It is a bloodline inheritance system, so the highest heir must be canonized by the Eternal Queen to be considered a legal ruler, and the rulers or representatives of the three clans need to regularly go to the royal court to pay homage to Veronica.
Article 3: The three tribes must also establish a set of beliefs with Veronica as the main one - Soshiyan has already learned about the beliefs of the three tribes through the "ghost" Urumei Atik. , the Chicanti people have basically no faith, while the Urume Atik people worship their ancestors, and the Urume Atik people still maintain animism, so Soshiyan made this request.
This is one of the more stringent clauses among many. The Urume Atik and Chikandi people were somewhat resistant to this. Soshyan told them clearly that the Eternal Queen must also have a reason to persuade her people to help foreigners. The best reason is that these races regard her as a god, so that she can legitimately protect them, and Soshiyang also made it clear that it is not a mandatory belief, it only requires the existence of such a religious order, believe it or not. The people of each race made their own decisions. It was because of his words that the other two races finally chose to accept this clause.
The reason why Soshiyang gave such "lenient" conditions was because of his confidence. He was confident that under the crushing cultural and technological strength of the Royal Court, these races would inevitably be affected and transformed into beliefs. , and this kind of belief will have many benefits for Veronica. For example, the most intuitive one is to enhance her strength.
Faith can produce power. This is something that has long been proven. Amnak is trying to use the power of faith and Star God fragments to ascend to the gods. And if Veronica can gain power from faith , then even if Suoshiyang has any accidents in the future, she may have enough ability to protect herself.
In fact, Suoshiyang doesn't care much about increasing his own strength. There are only a few things that he can't let go of in his heart.
Article 4: The three races must respond to the military call of the Royal Court and send a corresponding number of troops as required to assist the Royal Court troops in combat. At the same time, each race's main star will also build an embassy, with the Royal Court inside. Envoys are not governed by local laws and rules, but only accept the restrictions of the royal court's laws, and their diplomatic activities cannot be interfered with in any way.
Article 5: The three races are prohibited from researching any subspace technology. The warships of the three races are not allowed to be equipped with subspace engines, nor can they use human subspace equipment. At the same time, they are strictly prohibited from communicating with the human empire, and they are not allowed to interact with the human empire without the consent of the royal court. Other races and political powers are not allowed to have diplomatic relations or make private alliances.
