Chapter 3146 The ever-changing situation


Chapter 3146 A rapidly changing situation

Dragon Knight Yifan controlled his venom flying dragon 'Death Claw' to leave the spacecraft in an elegant gliding posture, and escaped from the scope of the artificial gravity field, flying all the way into a wide in the entrance.

There are no docks here, only towers and palaces. High-sailed and wide-winged ships float in the vacuum, surrounding globular star clusters suspended in nothingness, while many wraithbone turrets rotate slowly around them, with a center A huge fortress composed of many spiers, some of which were connected by sealed corridors, with various turrets spreading like fungi in the middle.

There are four huge entrances and exits on the surface of the spire shelter. The brightly lit interior is vaguely visible through the gaps, and a group of ships are entering and exiting from there.

About the size of a regular satellite, this ancient stronghold called Dragon's Nest drifts on the outskirts of an unnamed galaxy, leisurely orbiting a dying star, a long sun flag stretching from the shelter's surface. To the ether, capturing particles from the solar wind, this typical energy device of the Eldar is often accompanied by the buzz of psychic energy, vaguely present in the quiet void.

This collected energy will pass through a crudely modified eternal loop - a product of the combination of Craftworld's soul stone technology and Commoran engineering. It is enough to maintain a weak protective field to resist demonic invasion. Let the pirates who make a surprise attack stay away from the rapt gaze of "He Who Desires".

Ivan is not alone. Behind him are eighteen knights who also control pterosaurs. These pterosaurs have been professionally cultivated by druids and have become even larger. Fierce and strong, it can fly in the void. Its emerald-colored raised scales can resist various laser and crystal weapons. Under the escort of the flying dragon, there is a golden airship with Golden Feather Guards and several Eternals standing on it. Maid, the maids wear gorgeous armor, golden crowns, white cloaks, and hold banners - they are the emissaries of the Eternal Queen to convey the Queen's will.

They came on a ship, a small ship, which was fast and could be hidden. But even so, they were attacked by the Black Heart Conspiracy fleet when they approached the dragon's nest. However, due to the They were already very close to the dragon's lair. It seemed that these residents of Comoros did not intend to really fall out with the Void Dragon Pirates, and in the end they did not continue to pursue them.

The reason why the royal court sent an envoy for the second time is also very simple.

According to Kelis Canelli's report, the conflict within the Void Dragon Pirates has reached a critical point. It turns out that the Princess of Salania still wants to fight on her own without resorting to the power of the royal court. In order to solve the problem and preserve the foundation passed down to her by her father, she actually chose to secretly send someone to contact Victor, hoping that the other party would stop. She was willing to spend money to buy peace, and guaranteed that the Void Dragon would remain completely neutral in the future.

But who is Victor?

Salanya’s actions instead exposed her weakness and abilities. Victor directly “increased the dose”. Not long after Salanya sent the envoy, several members of the Void Dragon Pirate Group All the old subordinates loyal to Salanya were assassinated and died.

The angry Salanya immediately found the assassins, who were also several veterans of the regiment, and killed them. However, due to lack of preparation, two of them escaped and ten of them were taken away. Several ships joined the fleet of the Black Heart Cabal.

But this did not solve the problem, but it made the conflict completely public. Some pirates chose to leave because they did not want to get involved in the battle between the Royal Court and Comoros, and the black-hearted conspiracy did not embarrass them. Others did not The pirates who were not in the dragon's lair but were operating outside also announced that they were leaving the Void Dragon, causing nearly three hundred captains of this ancient Eldar pirate organization to leave in just ten days.

This is Victor's biggest conspiracy. As the largest pirate group today, most of the captains of the Void Dragon are generally active outside. However, if a war starts directly, there is a high probability that these captains will return to defend them. their organization. Therefore, he chose to divide the peripheral forces of the Void Dragon Pirate Group first, so that the pirates operating outside could choose to stand aside or leave, and then manage the headquarters of the Void Dragon Pirate Group, which would be much easier.

Due to this series of bad decisions, Salanya's prestige within the pirate group has plummeted, and more and more people are doubting her ability. Some people have publicly expressed the hope that she can abdicate and let more talents be replaced. A capable person leads the pirate group out of trouble.

Of course, no one has shouted the slogan of surrendering to Victor so far, which is also the smartest thing about Victor.

He never expressed that he wanted to possess the Void Dragon Pirates. Instead, he used the "slogan of freedom" and declared that the Eldar are a free race, with the freedom to live according to their own preferences and sail among the stars. freedom, as well as the freedom to plunder lower races, but the Eternal Royal Court wants to deprive them of these freedoms. It is completely an evil dictatorial regime. The reason he sends troops this time is actually to defend the "free pirates".

Although it is indeed a bit funny for Victor to package himself as a "freedom fighter", this is what the pirates need. They don't want to be involved in the political struggle, but they don't want to be included. In the "King's Law", what many people pursue after leaving the Ark is freedom. Although the Royal Court also claims that there are no very strict rules, it is also true that armed plunder against non-hostile races is prohibited.

In this case, Salanya's situation became very difficult, so the only thing she could do was to hug the royal court tightly, hoping to stabilize the situation. From now on, the situation can be said to be changing rapidly. .

However, Kelis Kanelli’s previous visit was only on behalf of the Privy Council and was not authoritative enough. After making arrangements, Soshyan sent another team of envoys according to the situation. This time it will be Directly convey the meaning of the royal court and give Salanya a "platform".

But the real mission is to stabilize the Void Dragon Pirates.

After all, it is never themselves who can decide their fate, but the upcoming battle.

After spending some time, the envoy team entered the interior of the dragon's nest. During this period, Yifan carefully observed the surrounding environment. Occasionally, there were a few small boats flying through the void, but most of the Aida here They were all just like them, either riding in single-person shuttle craft or gliding in gravity suits.

After entering this area, as long as you look up, you can see cruisers, frigates and other floating ships parked near the spire. Since Eldar pirates often operate in warbands, their number ranges from single digits to fifty or sixty people. varies, so they tend to use micro-sized ships, such as the Hellebore-class, Aconite-class, which may be about the same size as a patrol ship in terms of tonnage in the Empire, or the smaller Hunter-class, which is only two meters long. The three-hundred-meter micro-ship is very fast and not very powerful. It only requires a few people to drive it and can even perform gang-hopping missions. It is the most commonly used weapon by pirate war gangs when they attack merchant fleets, and is also used by Void Dragon pirates. The main force of the regiment's huge fleet.

Of course, the pirates do not have large ships. For example, Ivan saw a huge ship as big as the surrounding buildings.
