"Because of the First Expeditionary Fleet?" Russell thought.

Bounty hunters who make a living by hunting Eldar often appear on the routes that the expedition fleet passes. In the past 20 years, some space nomadic tribes have even emerged that specialize in following the expedition fleet to pick up leftovers. Most expedition fleets are not opposed to this.

Revagaren nodded. "Yes. The Purifying Field Generators you gave to each expedition fleet to purify the warp pollution require a large amount of Eldar ashes as energy. Now is the 20th year since the Terra expedition. Bounty hunters who hunt down the Eldar and private mercenaries secretly supported by the Imperial Agency have begun to appear on the routes that the fleets pass through. They have killed almost all the Eldar they can find."

Russell nodded. He could probably imagine what had happened in the past 20 years.

This expeditionary fleet is not only sending stargates to Terra, but also laying stargates in various important star systems along the way. When they provide the construction template of L-stargate to various human star regions, they will most likely trade the purification field together.

The stargate network is used to replace unstable warp space navigation, and the purification field can sort out psychic energy and purify chaos. These are things that have extraordinary significance to the human empire.

Local nobles and star district governors may reject stargates for their own interests, but they regard the purifying field that can purify chaos as a guiding principle. As far as Russell knows, the governor of the Krenna sector, Medius, purchased a purifying field generator from the 2nd Expeditionary Fleet and placed it in his own mansion. He paid a huge price for it.

The various expeditionary fleets fully grasped the endless demands of local dignitaries for their own safety, and made huge profits from it. They used the money to purchase the Eldar hunted by bounty hunter groups to meet their own demand for psychic dust.

As the Terra expedition progressed, the already chaotic Milky Way suddenly saw the emergence of two super buyers, the expedition fleet and the imperial dignitaries, who were willing to pay sky-high prices for psychic dust. It was they who fed the desperate criminals who were now roaming around the Ultramarine, frantically hunting the Eldar.

"According to the intelligence I have collected, the Eldar in the Cadia sector have completely disappeared. Even the Cadian Shock Troops, a regular army under the Human Empire, have participated in this Eldar hunting carnival. Several Space Marine Chapters are also secretly participating in the hunt in the name of exterminating the aliens..."

At this point, Revagaren sighed: "The regular army stationed in Cadia actually went to compete with civilian bounty hunters and mercenaries for performance. How ridiculous is this."

I slacked off on my job just to make some extra money. What if the Chaos Warmaster launched a Black Crusade and raided Cadia?

She said these things without any burden at all, and the massacre of her compatriots by the human empire did not stir up a ripple in her heart. In the eyes of the daughters of Coronie, they were no longer the same race as the wandering Ark Eldar and the self-depraved Dark Eldar.

Revatien raised her head slightly and met her sister's eyes. They could both know what the other was thinking.

The psychic LAN originating from the Tree of Life connects each other's minds. They no longer have to endure the endless cold loneliness with those rootless drifters wandering in the sea of ​​​​stars.

Praise mother.

Chapter 276 Primus

Although Russell didn't care about the life and death of any race other than humans, the disappearance of the Eldar in the galaxy was not good news for him, because he came to Cadia to find the entrance to the webway to facilitate the invasion of the dark city of Commorra.

"Now the Eldar are either dead or in hiding, where can I find the entrance to the Webway?" Russell was a little distressed.

Fortunately, the prophetess left the transcriber in Cadia waiting for me to pick up, otherwise this trip to Cadia would have been in vain.

Russell drove the Pot of Greed to an uninhabited star system near Cadia, parked the giant ship in the hot exosphere of the aging star in the center of the star system, and entered stealth mode. Then he boarded a small escort ship with several fully armored banshee guards to Cadia, officially arriving at this imperial fortress that has stood in the Eye of Terror for ten thousand years.

The arrival of the Star-Bombard did not cause any stir in Cadia. It could even be said that few people knew he was coming, and there was no welcoming ceremony or social banquet. Like a thief, Russell, led by the lord's confidant, quietly entered a heavily guarded steel fortress through a secret door, and thus began a secret meeting with the lord of Cadia.

"Where is the transcriber?" Russell said straightforwardly, staring at the mechanical eye on the left side of Lord Cadia's cheek.

Lord Cardia smiled awkwardly: "You are indeed as straightforward as the rumors say."

Too straightforward, I didn't even bother to ask his name.

"I'm in a hurry. I have a little problem that I need to deal with." Russell said casually, "If you can help me solve this problem, I don't mind drinking and chatting with you all night long with a woman in my arms."

"I'd like to hear more details." Lord Cardia maintained a polite smile.

"What should I call you?" Russell asked.

"Primus, sir, Lord Primus of Cadia."

"Okay..." Russell probably understood the other party's attitude.

Primus is not a name, nor is it a family name, but a position, similar to 'Lord Guilliman'.

Lord Cardia did not give his name but called himself Primus, which conveyed a businesslike attitude. He was unwilling to have any personal relationship or deeper connection with the Star-Bullet. Everything was just procedure and courtesy, nothing more.

This was probably the reason why the transcriber was not brought out immediately.

"I'm looking for traces of the Eldar." Russell picked up a glass of juice handed to him by the waiter next to him and said faintly, "But the Eldar in the Cadia sector are almost extinct. It seems that I'm going to make a wasted trip... But it's understandable. After all, even the regular imperial army such as the Cadian Assault Corps and the Space Marines stationed in the Cadia sector have participated in the hunt for the Eldar."

The individual quality of the Eldar is actually far stronger than that of the Imperial Army. It is about as difficult for the Eldar to kill Kashejin as it is for the Marshal of the Imperial Guard to kill a fart elf. But when the Terran Expeditionary Force and the dignitaries of the Human Empire use their strong financial resources to open up a market for the Eldar population that is full of gold, the situation will be reversed.

When enough desperate men are driven by big enough interests to become mad dogs who don't care about their lives, even the most self-righteous upper elves will feel dizzy in the face of the endless stream of human lunatics who are coming one after another like carp crossing the river.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if the group of bounty hunters who were hunting down the Eldar all stood still and let the Eldar hack them without fighting back, by the time they had all been hacked, the Eldar who hacked them would probably have been upgraded to a Daemon Prince of Khorne.

This is the case in other star regions, let alone Cadia where regular troops are involved in the hunt.

"Do you need the Eldar? Ah... yes, of course the servants of the Star-Bullet will need the Eldar." Lord Primus of Cadia nodded thoughtfully.

Then he clapped his hands gently, and the waiter in the room understood and walked over to close the window, then activated the signal shielding circuit on the desk to cover the entire room.

The next moment, Lord Primus smiled and said, "Ark Eldar, Dark Eldar, Savage Eldar... all kinds of goods are available in my shop. Customers can pick up the goods on site or have them delivered through the fleet stargate. There is a 8.3% discount for large purchases, and there is an extra discount for Dark Eldar."

"Ah, this..." Russell was stunned: "The biggest soul dealer in the Cadia Sector turned out to be you."

No wonder no wonder...

"But, Stargate Express?" Russell frowned. "As far as I know, it will take another 2-3 years for the Stargate in Cadia to be completed."

Due to the suppression of local officials, other star regions could not get enough resources for the construction of star gates, resulting in uneven construction progress, or in other words, relatively slow progress. But Cadia was so fast that Russell was a little surprised.

"The Cadia Stargate was actually completed three years ago, but I blocked the news. Currently, only the Cadia Fleet and a few ships of the Adeptus Mechanicus are using it in secret. It is not open to civilian use." Lord Primus said: "Cadia is a fortress planet that is permanently under military martial law. Things like stargates naturally need to be strictly controlled."

In the past few years, he has made a fortune by relying on the Lingkou trade. He even thought about using his own money to commission the Mechanicus to secretly build a private star gate for his own use. The original star gate would be open to merchant fleets and wandering traders.

Russell smiled bitterly and shook his head. People have inertia in their thinking, and even he is no exception. Until now, he has just come out of his usual misconceptions.

——It is true that most planetary governors across the galaxy reject stargates, but it would be a big mistake to assume that all lord governors reject the stargate network.

Military strongholds like Cadia have always been closely watched by the Terra Senate. The important status of the Imperial fortress does not allow it to be independent like other colonies. For Lord Primus of Cadia, connecting Cadia to the stargate network will not dilute his own power by Terra's authority, because Cadia has been a planet deeply influenced by Terra from the beginning.

With this understanding, it is not surprising to see Lord Primus' attitude towards the Star Gate.

"I need a group of Dark Eldar, preferably those with ties to the Haemonchi organization." Russell put his hands on the table, a friendly smile on his handsome face. "I want as many as you have, name your price."

Lord Primus was slightly startled, and for a moment, he felt that there seemed to be a beautiful golden halo emanating from behind Russell.

This man, who was more handsome than a woman, had no facial features. There were only four words written on his fair and delicate skin:

Rich and wealthy.

Chapter 278: Unbreakable Defense Line

Chapter 277: Unbreakable Defense Line

Located in the northwest of the Krona Sector, the harsh environment of the planet Pluto was originally just an unpopular mineral galaxy. However, thanks to the sector governor Medius's rejection of the stargate network, the only stargate in the Krona Sector was built here.

The forging sages used the sacred energy pump to light up the dim green halo of the L-Gate. From then on, a blazing torch was lit on the Pluto Star, turning it into a trade transit station for ships coming and going.

As the Terra expedition progresses, star gates light up across the galaxy, and the impact of transportation on the economy continues to expand.

On this day, a naval warship decorated with golden feathers slowly sailed out of the star gate of the planet Huanming, and it was very eye-catching among the civilian and merchant ships coming and going.

The technical priest who managed the stargate looked down at the information on the electronic display.

This is the flagship of Grand Admiral Wagner Civitas of Ultramar. He came to visit the awakened Primarch of the Dark Angels and allowed them to pass after reconfirmation.

After the technical priest sent a notice to the Sivitas ship that "the Primarch was holding a tactical meeting in Krentalina", he issued permission to leave the port.

Marshal Wagner naturally thought that this was just a cliché used by Imperial bureaucrats to delay time, just like any other time in the past, but in fact, the priest did not lie for the first time. The Dark Angels and their Primarch Lion El'Jonson were indeed discussing a very serious issue.

"We need to pay more attention to the movements of the Chaos traitors in the Eye of Terror."

In the central round hall of the Klentalina Orbital Starport, Ryan placed his hands on the table, and his thunderous voice shocked all the participants present. No matter they were the chapter commanders and adjutants of the various Dark Angels, or the army commanders and naval generals of the Klentalina sector, they were all impressed by the unparalleled spirit of the Primarch.

There is only one exception.

As one of the few women in the round hall, Genevieve Limstera was not attracted to Ryan, who had a mature and calm temperament. She did not show a crazy look to Ryan like the merchant fleet representative not far away. She was a strong-willed type. Compared with the general aesthetic of the human empire, Genevieve preferred gentle and beautiful men.

For example, the messenger of the Star-Baller, his gentle temperament and appearance were very much to her liking.

"It's a pity that I haven't been able to invite him several times..." Geneve was a little melancholy. It was rare to see a handsome boy like Russell, and she was so greedy.

Ah, I was distracted.

Geneve quickly focused her attention and listened to Lion's speech. Is it worthy of the Emperor to think about men during a tactical meeting held by the Primarch?

In summary, Chaos activities in the southern part of the Krenna Sector, especially in some areas close to the Eye of Terror, have become more frequent. The traitor Abaddon, who proclaimed himself the Warmaster of Chaos, seems to have made some moves. He is planning his next move in the Eye of Terror. "

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Genevea felt that Lion's voice seemed a little strange, especially when he mentioned the term 'Chaos Warmaster', the Primarch's tone could even be described as gritting his teeth.

Oh, yes... I heard that it was Abaddon the Plunderer who led his army to invade the Stone Fortress on the planet Pluto, and he actually managed to escape in the end. It is understandable that the Lion King hates this man.

At this time, a think tank director from the Dark Angels said: "Not long ago, I received a revelation from the Emperor in my dream. I vaguely saw several demon planets drowning in the warp, surrounded by dense orbital defenses. A large number of ominous warships entangled in Chaos gathered on these demon fortresses to defend... Many high-level psykers besides me have received similar revelations. We believe this is a warning from the Emperor, and it is also the reason why my father convened this meeting."

Genevea nodded and said, "The Krenna fleet also discovered traces of Chaos Warband activities when patrolling the edge of the sector. The number of heretics and pirates who have escaped into the Eye of Terror has also increased significantly in recent times."

Governor Medius also provided information that could confirm this: for some reason, the heretics in various parts of his jurisdiction were trying every means to get into the Eye of Terror, causing the security situation in the Krenna sector to improve...

"Chaos is gathering strength. We need to be on guard against the Warmaster's next move." Ryan said.

"Well...but forgive me for being blunt, Master Primarch, but based on the revelations received by the psykers, I'm afraid it's difficult to conclude that 'the next wave of Chaos invasion is coming'." Genevea raised an objection:

"The Chaos forces loyal to Abaddon the Despoiler are arming demon planets with fleets and orbital defenses. Unless they can use planets as warships to launch the Eye of Terror, this level of action is not preparation for an attack, but rather - building a defense line."

Ryan frowned slightly: "Defense line? Does he think we will attack the Eye of Terror... No!"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, the lion king was startled, he had realized it.

According to common sense, the army of the Human Empire would certainly not attack the Eye of Terror. In fact, almost all forces in the physical universe would have a narrow escape of death after entering this star cluster that merged with the Warp, and a narrow escape means being corrupted by the evil god.

But the Milky Way today is no longer what it was ten thousand years ago. In the distant and dark 40th millennium, high-dimensional hunters who feed on demons appeared in the universe.

"They are defending against the Boundary Breakers."

So the Lion King once again truly felt his own aging, and he didn't even think of such an obvious thing at the first time.

At the same time, on an unknown fallen planet deep in the Eye of Terror, the Chaos Warmaster with a long braid on his head and a magic sword in hand was on his way to find new allies.

In the distance, thick smoke billowed from a collapsed church, forming a strange spiral shape that floated up into the twisted purple-red sky.

Sword Master Khayon, who held a short staff and a long sword on his waist, followed Abaddon with a team of black-armored Terminator guards. They were all very alert and ready to fight at any time, because the Chaos Warmaster came to this planet to find a group of crazy barbarians who could kill people at any time.
