Chapter 2975 King's Landing Hub
The towering tower of Shadow Hub is like a sharp dagger piercing the mottled metal sphere. This was once a part of it, but now it has become a poisonous tumor that once represented Scientific towers and observation domes became the residences of nobles favored by the Archons, or fortresses for defensive forces, and the exiles of Commorragh built their own signature spiers in imitation of the Utopia, as well as towers spanning the entire length of the city. An intricate network of bridges at the top makes it look like a skeletal claw wrapped in spider webs, reaching into the dark sky.
These towers are also the most securely defended places in the God Tower. They are equipped with a large number of weapons that can hit spacecraft in orbit. The largest central tower is also where the Garden of Death is located. The garden is filled with weapons from several Ten of the world's most dangerous and aggressive plants were carefully curated into a beautiful and deadly botanical garden. From a high platform above the garden, the Cabal's guests watched the horrific plant-devouring, poisonous plants. Kill or dissolve the terrified slaves freed from this graceful hell.
But almost no one has seen the Archon himself here. His palace is located in the middle of the tower. Only the luckiest people will be invited to enter the palace, and only the luckiest people will have the opportunity to leave again.
The port area of the Shadow Hub is also divided into two parts. One is the main port area near the Shadow Ridge Pit. This is also the main commercial port area, where most slaves will flow to the city or from the city. It flows to other places, and the other is the VIP port area near the tower. Only distinguished guests with the permission of the Archon can anchor here.
Generally speaking, those greeted here are representatives of various conspiracy groups, or huntresses from the Witch Spirit Sect, mercenaries from the Nightmare Temple, or Haemonculi with other intentions.
But because the consul came down not long ago to temporarily block the port area and prohibited all ships from entering or leaving, the place seemed a bit deserted at this time.
But soon, this desolation was broken by a battleship. It pierced out from the flash of the webway like a dagger and floated leisurely towards the port area.
“This is the Nexus of Shadows.”
In the secret and independent bridge compartment of the Dark Eldar cruiser, a tall figure with a black cloak covering his whole body and face is staring. Looking at the miraculous creation outside the bubble cover, behind him were hundreds of shorter, motionless individuals also wearing black cloaks. .
The Galan Object is like a metal ball thrown in a dark corner. Even if you look at it from a distance, you can see the scars all over its body, especially the huge impact craters, which makes people worry about its integrity. , and the shadow hub is actually just part of its surface.
"Charonte"
When he heard the other party calling his name, the bent Charonte trotted over cautiously from the side, holding his hands in front of his chest, just like a tavern Such a humble boy.
“Your great highness, what is your will?”
“Do you want to be the consul here.”
"Ah?"
Charonte didn't react for a moment, but soon he lowered his head in panic.
"In this humble position, I just want to be your most loyal servant, Your Highness, and devote my life to reviving the great Ada Empire!"
"Then do you want it or not?"
"I am in a humble position and I don't want to."
Soshyan let out a chuckle. "But the Consul Abrahak seems to want to get involved here. What message did he ask you to bring me? I hope the royal court will give him the opportunity to make contributions, recognize his ability, and do his best to conquer Comoros in the future. Is this threatening me?"
Charonte was already breaking out in a cold sweat. He did not expect that his consul would be so greedy. After borrowing the ship, he immediately judged that the Royal Court was going to take action against the Shadow Hub, so he asked him to take the lead and tell the Royal Court in the most tactful way possible that Cadiz Abrahak hoped to become the controller of the Shadow Hub—— Rule here instead of the royal court.
Of course, Charonte can guess the thoughts of the consul. It is not cost-effective to completely fall to the side of the Royal Court and Vitek. The best way is to sit on the wall on both sides and eat both sides at the same time. But before, it was the Royal Court. He was weak, so he was more inclined to the Royal Court, but seeing that the Royal Court was gradually getting stronger, he had already begun to consider whether to give Victor a chance.
This is a power game that almost all Comorian nobles will play, but Charonte feels that the consul is playing with fire. After all, the man sitting in the spire of the conspiracy has never been to the royal court. He is here to He had been there several times, and had personally witnessed the power of the Eternal Court, especially the Phoenix King. No matter what others thought, from Charonte's point of view, he felt that Victor must be the loser in the end!
But how dare he say these words to the consul? If he really said it, his life would be gone, and the consul would think that he had become an undercover agent of the royal court.
But there was a fight between the two sides, and it was always middlemen like him who were offended. Charonte could only reply with a grimace:
"Your Highness, the consul may just be worried that you haven't been there for a while. The right person."
"What if I have the right person?"
"Of course not, of course"
"Charonte, do you want to be the consul of your conspiracy?"
As soon as Soshyan said these words, Charonte quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, bending his whole waist almost to Ninety degrees, he whispered:
"Your Highness, I don’t dare to have such delusions in my humble position. I don’t have the ability. All I can think about now is to correct my evil ways and embark on the right path to trace the glory of Your Majesty and you. . ”
Although Charonte’s ability is not very strong, he has a characteristic that he is clever and has a very good eyesight. During the time he stayed in the royal court, he It can be seen that if the Eternal Court really captures Comoros, then none of the old nobles and consuls who are daydreaming about it will have some "united front" value if Victor is here. If Victor is No more.
The safest way in this storm is not to stand too high, so even though Charonte is a man who wants to climb up, he knows exactly when to climb. The higher he climbs, the harder he falls. When the storm passes, with his merits, he will have many opportunities and positions in the new empire.
So his strategy is to show loyalty and keep showing loyalty, even if it makes him look stupid and submissive.
At least fools rarely become priority targets, and may even be temporarily ignored.
“You didn’t answer my question, will Abraham betray the royal court?”
But Soshyan is not someone who is easily fooled, and his cold voice makes Ka Rongte was even more sweaty.
“Back to Your Highness, this humble man speaks softly. It is really not convenient to say these words.”
