Chapter 2967 The Insect Fishing Plan
After formulating the action plan, the Inquisition also approved Soshyan’s plan to use short-man battleships to conduct surprise operations. They will grant all legality to this operation, the only The only requirement is that the Alien Tribunal must participate in the entire battle.
At the same time, taking into account the changes in the behavior of the Tyranid Hive Fleet, the Alien Tribunal no longer advocates hasty attacks, but they believe that instead of letting the Tyranids huddle together, it is better to let the opponent attack in Fighting it in a relatively dispersed situation can also reduce the pressure when attacking the Sondheim system. Soshyan agrees with this idea, but how to attract the Tyranid fleet to take the initiative to attack?
Originally Soshyan believed that the Tyranid forces would attack the Westeros galaxy, but there has been no news of this until now. It is obvious that this Tyranid fleet has become a guardian fleet like the Timitian fleet. , and if all these Tyranids really shrink back to the Sondheim Galaxy, it will become a big trouble. Even with short-manned battleships, it may not be possible to break through the galaxy. Fortunately, according to the intelligence, the Tyranid Hive Fleet is still threatening. Nohi Galaxy is making final touches, but it won’t be long before the next step is taken.
In the end, the Alien Tribunal came up with a bold plan. They believed that according to the Tyranid behavior pattern, they would prioritize attacking areas where a large number of gene stealers are concentrated. This is their biological instinct. Even if Timit Yaya often has fleets attacking the surrounding star areas, which shows that even if it becomes a guardian fleet, the aggressiveness of the Hive Fleet still exists.
They imagined that after suffering such a heavy blow, the Tyranids must be in desperate need of biomass and could capture a certain number of gene stealers, gather them together, and also concentrate a large number of people in the area to turn them into a trap to lure the Tyranid. The signal tower and the battlefield are best located in the Westeros galaxy.
However, it is not easy to implement it. First of all, after a round of major purges, the genestealer sect in the archdiocese was basically wiped out, and the remaining ones have become frightened birds. It may be difficult to catch them. It's too easy and takes a lot of time. The second is to concentrate the population. The Westeros galaxy has concentrated a lot of refugees, but it is really difficult to use them as bait
It is still difficult for Soshyan to overcome psychologically.
But the Inquisition has never been merciful. They even stated in secret meetings that if the number of gene stealers is not enough, they will artificially create gene stealers. Anyway, these aliens themselves are infectious, and their genes will be transferred to them. The venom can be injected into criminals or anyone else. As for refugees-
In the empire, nothing is unsacrificable.
The four judges said this to Soshyan very seriously.
Perhaps thinking that Soshyan's hesitation was due to cherishing his reputation, the two inquisitors immediately stated that they were responsible for the operation and execution of this plan. All orders and arrangements came from the Inquisition and had nothing to do with the Suffering Alliance. .
Seeing that they were so persistent, Soshiyang could only agree silently in the end.
After all, if you think about it on the bright side, the defense force of the Westeros galaxy is also very strong. It should not be a problem to fight against the Tyranid fleet. Then we can just transfer the refugees.
After finalizing all the plans, the Tribunal started operating at a very fast speed. On the contrary, Soshyan had nothing to do. All he needed to do was to coordinate remotely from the rear.
In this case, he turned back to the Eternal Court because Mardell seemed to have researched something.
“These souls are basically still complete.”
In the Asuryan Temple, Madel laid out pieces of purple crystal on the crystal table, Soshyan and Veroni Ka stood by the table, Star Calamity and other prophets not far away.
"Then can they recover?"
Veronica's voice contained some hope. After all, if these ancient souls can be revived, not to mention what they can bring to the royal court. What kind of interests? The meaning they represent is extraordinary.
But Mardell shook his head.
“What I said is complete, only in form. In fact, their self, memory, personality and other factors have collapsed. Once the shackles are broken, they will become wandering souls, a kind of unconsciousness without self. Spiritual bodies, but their energy is much stronger than the souls in the eternal circuit. Even without the protection of the soul stone, they will not be pulled into the embrace of Slaanesh."
"That's how it is."
Veronica looked at Soshyan.
“What do you think?” Soshyan immediately said:
"Madel, what do you mean, let them maintain the status quo?"
"No, this is meaningless."
"What should we do? ”
“Let them become part of the Phoenix Custodes”
As soon as these words came out, both Soshyan and Veronica showed puzzled expressions.
"Didn't you understand, didn't you say that they are all unconscious?"
"Although they have no consciousness, they have instincts. After being recast by Asuryan's holy fire, they can Gathering their fragmented selves into a primitive fighting spirit, their skills honed over thousands of years have long transcended the realm of consciousness and become instincts that can drive their behavior, just like animals."
Mardel spoke as directly as ever, so direct that even Star Calamity and others frowned. After all, anyone who compares their ancient ancestors to animals would feel uncomfortable. Maybe it had something to do with it being a "demigod". Soshyan realized that it actually didn't have that much "emotion" for Ada. Probably as it once said, it was only loyal to Asuryan.
It’s no wonder that in Ada’s own mythology, the relationship with the gods does not seem to be so harmonious.
"What about their bodies? I mean, are they going to be like the Nether Guards?"
"No, the Nether Guards are necromantic structures driven by weak souls, so they are stiff and slow. These souls They are powerful enough, they don't need to be like this."
As he spoke, Madel's huge body turned sideways, and then stretched out his hand towards the huge holy brazier.
In an instant, a blazing corona burst out, half orange and half white. Then, scorching heat poured out, and something slowly rose from the fire.
This is an armor, decorated with reliefs of flames and phoenixes, and inlaid with gems. It is similar to the armor of the Phoenix Custodes, but it is taller, and its size is close to that of an Astartes. However, the inside of the armor is There was no body, just a white-gold flame that seemed to be burning.
Then, this "living armor" slowly landed on the ground, and after walking a few steps, he knelt on one knee in front of Soshyan.
"This"
Looking at this thing, Soshyan couldn't help but think of a kind of existence that Khayon once said-the Scarlet Letter Warrior, who was also an unconscious soul attached to the armor.
Then he looked at Mardell.
“Isn’t this the red letter?”
"They have higher autonomy and more powerful power than the Scarlet Letter. You might as well let Duran give it a try."
After Madel finished speaking, the living armor on the ground stood up, then turned around and walked out of the brazier on the side. Pulling out a crystal two-handed sword, Soshyan then nodded to Duran. The leader of the Forbidden Army silently held the halberd and walked toward him.
