Protoss in Warhammer

Chapter 196 184. The noble who dug his own grave

In M41.905, the expeditionary army had spent a whole year in Badab District.During this year, they actually did not observe such a huge war in the Maelstrom area.

In fact, the reason is very simple, because the Knight Errant had a very good relationship with the Star Claws before. This time he was pulled up by the Fire Eagle Chapter purely because he was too close, so he was forced to come to help. The two gangs met basically. They wandered around without attacking, and after a few hours of confrontation, they each went back to their homes.

The Fire Eagle Chapter has been taken care of very well by the Executioner. This group of lunatics who don't know what serious illness is in their heads were directly welcomed by the Executioner's Big Boss, and they were directly defeated through two short but fierce wars. The Firehawks doubt life.

The current situation is that neither side is willing to continue fighting, because the empire does not want the trouble to really come to that point. The guardians of the Maelstrom, including the Star Claws, do not really want to leave the empire, they just hope Be able to bargain with each other.Except for the Fire Eagles who felt embarrassed because they were slapped twice, the others didn't want to continue.

Moreover, there is a piece of information that is very important. A delegation from the Council of the High Lords of Terra has arrived and will soon evaluate the incident.Both sides basically entered a state of silence, patiently waiting for the High Lords Council to come to judge.

On the other side, for a star system on the edge of the Maelstrom, the United Fleet has taken deep roots here. Located on the second satellite of the fourth planet, the United Army quickly passed the advanced planetary transformation system. , so that this satellite already has an atmosphere and a preliminary biosphere system, which is at least enough for life forms to survive and breathe inside.

Infrastructure such as factories, living areas and network entrances have been completed, and the base is developing towards long-term goals.

At the same time, in order to facilitate the management of this base, 2/3 of the original tens of thousands of human refugees have been sent to the control area of ​​the Kalai Protoss, and they are replaced by elite technicians and Odessa Auxiliary Army to protect this temporary Base security.

At the same time, the general headquarters of the combined fleet has also received news of the arrival of the High Lords Council.After receiving it, Zeratul and Alarak discussed the next plan to deal with this problem.Observing those people, it is estimated that the two of them do not need to take action, just sending some troops is enough.

The joint force will probably send more than 300 people to perform this task. As for the command of the force, a young man is given a chance.The young man is a student of Tassadar, and his name is Artanis.

This guy is sure to shine in the future, but right now he's just a young executive.Strictly speaking, this is Artanis' first real combat activity.

Although Artanis had followed his teacher in many battles before in the expedition against the Human Empire, in so many battles, he was only a supporting role, serving as a consultant to his teacher. He has never commanded an army alone in combat.

So this is why Tassadar arranged his students here, because Artanis is too young. Although he is very talented, he still cannot control a real army. It is time for him to hone his skills. For a moment.

This time, Artanis's troops were half Tal'darin and half Templar, and they also had heavy weapons such as Dragon Knights and Scarabae Launchers for cover.

The purpose of this team is to find a way to find out the specific process of the High Lords Council coming here, so as to facilitate further research on the imperial government system in the future.If conditions permit, you can also steal some confidential information from the Empire and the Mechanicum to prepare for future intelligence work.

Generally speaking, this operation is an operation with the main goal of reconnaissance intelligence.For the protoss, if they do not have enough intelligence and various supports, they will not easily launch a war. Even if there is no war, they will try their best to collect more intelligence.

Artanis received support from two aircraft carriers from the Expeditionary Forces Council.These two aircraft carriers come from two different factions, the Tadarin and the Kalai Protoss, but this is not only a challenge for Artanis, but also an opportunity.Now in the eyes of the young man Artanis, Tadalin is still an enemy, but in his impression, he has changed from a former pirate to a group of warlike berserkers.

Therefore, taking this opportunity to understand the enemy's main weapons and equipment and morale is very beneficial for intelligence gathering.It was obvious that Tassadar had not taught him this in time.

In other words, Tassada did this deliberately so that his students could slowly understand this truth in their daily interactions.

The fleet set off quickly. Their target was not within the maelstrom, but in the nearby Cartago sector.If you guys don't know what impact this administrative division has on this incident, then this group of guys found the Firehawks, which led to the complete outbreak of the situation.

So, Inquisition and Administratum officials came directly from Terra's fleet to begin their own investigation here.

The officials on the planet never imagined that their original attempt to use the relationship between space warriors to solve their own interests would actually cause such a big trouble.

In fact, these officials have had three opportunities to prevent these things from expanding.The first thing is to look for the White Scars Chapter that is nearby, not the Fire Eagle Chapter that has an old grudge against the Maelstrom Alliance.I know that the Mantis Warriors in the Maelstrom Alliance are a sub-group of the White Scars.If they come forward, they must listen and accept their opinions regardless of whether Star Claw and Xiulun are willing to listen or not. In that case, they may face the anger of a founding group and the split of the internal alliance.

The second is that when the war breaks out and the situation is about to get too big, they quickly seek help from the local tribunal.Although the mad dogs of the Inquisition are very unpopular with the Space Marines, as long as they are willing to take action, they can still find a way to postpone the conflict of this war until the Terran government comes to continue to find a solution.Although their interests may be greatly damaged in this process, they will not provoke the task force like now.

The third point is that when multiple Space Marine Chapters come, they seek help from the Imperial Church.In such a relatively important star area, there is a divine world of the state religion of the empire. Even if the state religion of the empire cannot be persuaded, it can be treated as an incident of religious conflict and find a way to fight in the name of jihad. By himself, he shamelessly defined the Maelstrom Alliance as traitors and at the same time, he could sneak away cleanly.

But this group of narrow-minded and short-sighted idiots chose the most fatal and at the same time the most intolerable thing. When they found out that the inspection team from Terra had passed by, they actually became so ill that they sought medical help from the cult. Privately, they hoped that they could kill him. Representative of Dead Terra.

Various actions have sounded the death knell for them. Although the representatives of the Inquisition have not discovered this problem yet, they will soon find clues.

Some things originally only weighed four taels, but once put on the scale, they weighed a thousand kilograms. This sentence is very suitable for the Cartago area.

Originally, the nobles in this star area could rely on the trade benefits brought by the proximity to the maelstrom and the protection of the Astartes wargroup to live their lives well, but because of their own stupidity and greed, a large-scale civil war broke out. break out.

You must know that the hands of these nobles are very unclean to begin with. A casual search can reveal some problems. They were originally unclean, but they still publicized it. Now the matter has reached the point of no return, and their death knell should also ring.
