Warhammer: Empire Reboot

This word made Ilancia's heart sink.

It represents Lawson's acknowledgment that the current information is not yet complete.

This also indicates that he has the intention and confidence to continue his research.

Lawson looked at Ilancia.

"I don't need to know all your secrets today."

"I just need to find enough doors."

"Once the door is found, the rest is simple."

Er Gou grinned from the side.

"Open the door, go in, kill people, steal things, and burn everything."

Three dogs corrected it.

"And there are also registered spoils."

Mastiff Seven's Supplement:

"The Soul Stone must be sealed separately and Ash must not be allowed to get close."

Ash gave them a cold glance.

"You bunch of tasteless canned goods."

Ilancia couldn't smile.

She began to understand that Lawson was not bluffing.

This man already holds several things that the Spirit Clan fears most.

A large number of Soul Stones.

The ability to purify soul stones.

The ability to destroy souls.

Slaanesh the Great Demon.

Fragments of the internet.

The empire's dark side of military control.

There is also an army whose operational logic is completely different from that of a conventional empire.

If Ark were to wage a full-scale war against him, the cost would be far more than just a few ranger squads or a few assault ships.

He will force the entire Empire’s dark side, including its warbands, navy, and local powers, to search for traces of the Eldar.

The Eldar race of the Ark excels in mobility, prophecy, and the ability to deploy a small number of elite troops at crucial moments to change the course of a battle.

However, they are not good at enduring a long-term, relentless pursuit by a massive, stubborn, and insane human war machine.

Especially behind this war machine, there's a monster like Lawson who doesn't follow the Empire's inefficient rules.

Lawson finally turned off the projector.

He looked at Ilancia and sneered:

"Considering that your Ark Eldar have cooperated with the Human Empire a few times in the past, I will give you a chance."

“Go back and ask your prophets.”

"Should we fight or negotiate?"

"If you want to talk, bring compensation, ransom, and sincerity to me."

"Soul Stones are negotiable."

"Purification can also be discussed."

“I can even talk about the part of the network portal that has been corrupted by the Dark Eldar.”

"But if you want to fight..."

He looked at Ash.

Ash immediately straightened up, her eyes shining brightly.

Lawson said slowly:

"I will ally with the Slaanesh faction and fight you together."

As soon as those words were spoken, all the Spirit Race members in the hall tensed up.

Ilancia's expression changed drastically.

You can't do this!

Ash almost burst out laughing.

"really?"

She walked up to Lawson, cupped her hands to her chest, and her eyes shone as if she had seen an ark open its doors.

"Master, we are willing."

"I'd love to."

“I can assure you that the Pleasure Palace will hold a banquet to celebrate this news.”

"With just one word from you, they will bring the most beautiful knives, the sweetest poison, the best-singing skinners, and an entire hunting party that longs for the soul of the Ark."

Ilancia glared at Ash.

"Shut up, you demon!"

Ash tilted her head to look at her.

"You're scared."

"So cute."

Ilancia looked at Lawson.

“If you ally with Slaanesh, the Empire will also judge you.”

Lawson said calmly:

"I am not necessarily the one who is allied with Slaanesh."

He pointed at Er Gou.

"It could be him."

Er Gou grinned.

"Yes, it's me. Let the court give it a try."

Lawson ignored him.

He continued to look at Ilancia.

"The choice is yours."

"When you talk, you should lower your stance."

“You are no longer the masters of the galaxy, so stop putting on that ancient creditor’s face.”

Ilancia remained silent for a long time.

She knew someone had to go back.

Everything we see today must be shared with Ark.

Lawson had far more information than anticipated.

Those who keep secrets are enslaved.

Soulstones can be purified.

The fragments of the network have fallen into human hands.

The dark side of the Empire may declare war on the Ark.

Any one of these factors would be enough to bring the Prophet's Council back to session.

Not to mention stacking them all together.

Lawson raised his hand, and several combat officers released some of the Eldar prisoners.

"You can leave."

"Leave one hostage."

"The rest of you go back and report."

Ilancia acted almost without hesitation.

"I stayed."

The warlock immediately said:

"Ilancia, no."

Ilancia glanced at him.

“Go back to the Ark and tell the Council of Prophets everything that has happened here.”

“Tell them that the prophecy is incomplete.”

She paused for a moment, then looked at Ash.

"Also tell them that this human will bring Slaanesh into this."

Lawson waved.

Three Dogs and several combatants escorted the Eldar prisoners away.

One by one, the Eldar who were allowed to leave stood up.

As they left the hall, their gazes toward Ilancia were complex.

Shame, anger, and worry.
