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 expressed their approval.
While the two sides were discussing the details, an urgent piece of 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!”
After receiving this news, the whole room was filled with Ada, especially Lilarsus. The inhabitants of the kingdom cheered.
"Revenge! Revenge!"
No one wants to see more Tau people die more than them. 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 Soshiyang did not respond immediately, but said slowly:
"Prince Yifan, please get up."
Ifan didn't know what Soshiyang meant, so he could only stand up, and then the other party asked:
"Prince Yifan, are you right?" How much do you know about the Tau people and their country?”
Yi Fan thought for a while and shook his head.
“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 home world of the Tau, called Ke'shan, and it was only a small part of the Tau's domain. Even so, it had more than a dozen colonial worlds. Yi Prince Fan, you are the future leader of the kingdom. What is most important to you?"
Yi Fan was silent for a moment and said softly:
"People, homeland"<. br>
"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, Soshi Yang closed his palms, and the image of the golden ball disappeared.
"The Tau have paid the price for their actions, but it will never stop there. The Kingdom of Lilarsus will be compensated." Afterwards, Soshiyan chatted with King Sengupta privately. The king does not have a strong desire for revenge. As a leader who has ruled the kingdom for more than 900 light arcs and led the royal court through many green skin invasions and Tyranid invasions, he has a mature and rational mind. He knows that living people will always be better than others. The dead are more important. There is no point in shedding 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 will not agree. He agreed with the idea of quitting and said he would try to 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 different 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 destroyed. After being sunk, they took advantage of their maneuverability and 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 force.
However, this 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, in During the 896.M40 period, the Tau Empire's exploration 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 Tribe ambassadors immediately summoned the nearby Tau fleet that was already preparing to attack.
What followed was a brutal and protracted battle, which the Tau called the Veil War and the Arrakhan called the War of Souls, one fighting for control of the area and the other fighting for control of the area. Fight to defend your home and your spirit.
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 metal drawing technology "Spun" by combining micro-organisms called "golden silkworms", the city they live in is also designed in the form of a maze, which makes street fighting with them extremely difficult. At the same time, they also have a kind of thing called "rapid silkworms". The combat biological group of "predatory insects" can penetrate into the enemy's machines, vehicles or armor through the smallest gaps, and eat the enemy from the inside.
However, even with such power, the Arakans, who occasionally had a few small victories against the Tau with overwhelming national power, still fell into a disadvantage. Later, when entering the ground battle stage, the Arakans' Holy The Trinity Council was even assassinated by 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 their race.
And, of course, the chance to take revenge on the Tau Empire.
But as the Tau thrive, their lives become more and more difficult. The dozens of home ships that once were there are becoming fewer and fewer under the continuous pursuit of the Tau Empire and its affiliated races, and they Once there is any move to settle, they will be attacked by the forces of the Tau Empire immediately. They can only keep moving, running from the west side of the Tau Empire to the east side, which is near the Land of Silence, but not only are there often green skin activities here , the Tyranid threat 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 and thought they were so powerful. The incredible Tau main fleet was completely annihilated, and they immediately realized that they had encountered a civilization that was like a god.
