"I need to use your network of contacts to spread a message - that is, the Star Bombers are willing to buy the psychic dust formed by the combustion of Eldar individuals at a high price."
"Whether it's advanced weapons and equipment, or precious STCs left over from the Dark Ages of Technology, or even the artifact that can cause a warp storm... Titan machines, interstellar battleships, psychic equipment, power armor made of adamantium, purification technology that isolates Chaos pollution... Anything you can think of, as long as you give enough Eldar Dust, you can buy it from me."
"As for the price... did you see those Titans parked in the hangar? The dust obtained by burning a young Eldar can be exchanged for an entire Titan battle group. That's three machines."
"I need you to spread the formula of the psychic chain reaction along with this message. The wider the better. But remember..."
"I only want the Eldar, and I won't accept any form of imposters."
By the time Russell had finished stating his demands, all the alien prisoners locked in the prison had been reduced to ashes.
The Star Bullet had no expression on his face, not even any facial features, but Bernadette felt for no reason that he was smiling, which was chilling.
"I understand." Bernatita lowered her head.
On the fourth day after entering the Lost Dream Nebula, the Ark of Paradise activated its psychic cloaking field and began to approach the edge of the first target galaxy.
Chapter 84: Warring Party C
Unlike the Zero Storm Projector that needs to maintain a psychic storm on the scale of a star system, the psychic cloaking field and psychic shield system activated by the Ark of Bliss only need to cover the range of a cruiser. In addition, the energy used nowadays is of higher quality, so Grey Wind estimates that the existing psychic dust can be consumed for a very long time.
After passing an asteroid at the outermost edge of the galaxy, the tachyon sensor carried by the Ark of Paradise was finally able to get a glimpse of the entire galaxy under the interference of the nebula.
This galaxy located in the southwest of the Lost Dream Nebula was named "Dromi" by the Great Sage. Planets 3 and 4 are both habitable planets.
Planet 3 of the Dromi system is closer to the star, with a hot and humid climate, and the main landforms of the planet are large wetlands and large tropical rainforests; the climate of Planet 4 is very cool, and the landform is flat, with vast plains and high mountains.
It is worth mentioning that, like the galaxy cluster that appears in the Lost Dream Nebula, the types and distribution of celestial bodies in the Dromi Galaxy give people a very "deliberate" feeling.
"The star in this system is an orange dwarf in its prime, with a stable lifespan of at least 200 billion Terra years."
"According to preliminary sensor scans, Planet Dromi 2 has rich mineral resources, while Planet 5 contains large amounts of rare elements."
"Planet 6 is a gas giant, and its orbit corresponds exactly to that of Planets 3 and 4. The strong gravity of the giant planet can protect the two habitable planets from comets or meteorites that break into the galaxy."
In the control room of the Ark of Bliss, a young monk of truth in a white coat reported to Russell the results of the sensor's detection and some of his own conclusions:
"In summary, the Dromi Galaxy is a perfect habitable galaxy that is extremely suitable for intelligent life to settle in. The stars are stable and have long lifespans, the planets have mild climates and abundant resources. If you jump out, you can find a planet rich in resources that can be mined. There are also gas giant planets that protect the safety of the galaxy..."
"This galaxy is so perfect. If I were asked to design a galaxy from scratch for human habitation, I would make a similar design. It can even be said that this entire galaxy may have been designed and created by humans."
After saying this, the young monk of truth put down the documents in his hand and looked at Russell with expectation.
This galaxy and the entire galaxy group were too strange, and he believed that his leader must know something. Alexi and other high-ranking officials of Espenes felt the same way. Everything depended on whether the Star-Bomb was willing to reveal it to them.
the answer is negative.
"It's good to be curious, but not everything is suitable for inquiries."
The Star Bullet ignored their expectant looks and began to arrange the next task: "Keep the psychic cloaking field open, approach Planet 4, and don't be stingy with psychic energy. We need to scan the biological status of the planet at close range."
Yes, leader." The young monk of truth turned and prepared to leave.
But just as he took a step, the Star Bullet's voice suddenly rang directly from his mind: "You will know the truth, but not now."
He paused for a moment, then trotted briskly out of the door of the battleship control room.
As the psychic dust continued to burn, the psychic cloaking field protected the Ark of Bliss as it docked in the orbit of the planet Dromi 4.
The results of the ecological scan of the planet came out quickly, and the results were not surprising.
"There is an alien species on Planet 4, but the civilization is not very developed and is still in the agricultural era... Strangely, the brain of this alien species is highly developed, and the body shape is suspected to have been edited by some acquired genes..."
With doubts, the Ark of Paradise went to scan Planet 3 and found the results were exactly the same, even the intelligent creatures living on it were of the same species.
"All signs indicate that this alien race has lived on their respective planets for tens of thousands of years. During this long period of time, they have not developed any level of industry or other technologies. They have remained stagnant in the agricultural society and... are content with the status quo."
"Don't pay attention to them. Hurry up and send ambush troops to the two planets and hide. I have a feeling that the Eldar are coming soon." Russell gave the order.
Generally speaking, the first thing the human empire does after discovering an alien civilization is to completely exterminate it as quickly as possible, and then migrate the population from the nearest hive to the newly purified planet to build a new human colony.
But now they want to ambush the elves who come here to look for clues about the artifact, and they must not alert them.
Therefore, even the Astartes or Exclusive Inquisitors who hate aliens the most can suppress their hatred for aliens and obey longer-term strategic goals.
Of course, after achieving their strategic goal, they still want to carry out genocide on the planet. The human empire feels uncomfortable when seeing aliens.
After deploying all the pre-prepared combat formations and the corresponding mortal auxiliary forces, the Ark of Paradise passed Planet 3 and headed towards the inner ring of the Dromi Galaxy.
The closer you get to the core of the galaxy, the thinner the interference of the nebula becomes, until it completely disappears due to the gravitational pull of the stars.
After gaining a clear view, the Ark of Paradise immediately discovered the conspicuous large mechanical device running in the star orbit.
Bernadette stared at the real-time projection in front of her, feeling somewhat confused.
She witnessed with her own eyes the construction of the Seekers Star Base from its basic framework to its current size step by step.
Although this mechanical device in the Dromi galaxy is much smaller than the Seekers' base of the Skyforge level, and its construction details are also very different from those of the Seekers, in terms of its general framework and orbit, it is highly consistent with the star base.
"No need to guess, this is the star base."
Russell successfully stopped Bernatita from thinking about it and explained, "This is an outpost. It is the territory claimed by the owner of the galaxy. However, this outpost has been paralyzed for who knows how many years because no one has maintained it for so long."
We can't count on the farmers on Planets 3 and 4 to repair the star base.
There was some emotion in Russell's tone. He never thought that the once powerful "Warring Party C" would fall to such a state, curled up in the cage of its own making and degenerated into an agricultural civilization... Not necessarily. This was just one of the galaxies. Perhaps there would be branches with higher levels of civilization within the star cluster?
That's unknown.
The Ark of Bliss slowly approached the outpost, and after confirming that there was no threat, a hatch opened immediately, releasing a "cloud" composed of nanorobots.
"The nanomachine cloud will repair and maintain this outpost, and give the Eldar a little 'shock' during their subsequent investigation." Russell said with some amusement.
After setting the trap, the Ark of Paradise quickly left Dromi and headed for the next neighboring galaxy.
Chapter 85 Washing the Floor
Russell's hunch was roughly correct, except for the timing.
Not long after the Ark of Paradise left, an advance reconnaissance formation consisting of three small frigates equipped with solar sails and singularity reactor batteries quietly entered the galaxy named "Drovin" by the human empire, drawing a graceful arc.
The Eldar advance reconnaissance team followed a very standard detection process, and the ship's onboard holographic field generator remained on throughout the process, alert to possible threats.
Soon, they discovered the indigenous inhabitants living on Planets 3 and 4, and called these two planets the "Forest World" and the "Grassland World".
Like the Ark of Bliss, this Eldar reconnaissance team discovered the natives and then realized the deliberateness of the Drowen system:
On two planets in such a perfect habitable galaxy, there live the same kind of intelligent creatures that are both in an agricultural society and have no spaceflight capability. Moreover, the genes of these creatures seem to have been edited, and their brain functions are seriously inconsistent with the level of development of their civilization...
Just knowing this was enough to make the Eldar scouts on the advance reconnaissance ship think of many things.
A young Fordlan ranger stood in front of the porthole of the Star Sail No. 1 frigate. In front of him was a forest world covered with lush greenery. Under the shining of the stars, it reflected the intoxicating beauty like a gem.
For the Ark Eldar wandering the starry sky, there is no scenery more charming than this.
Amid the breathtaking beauty, the Ranger recalled the prophecy about the future and hope he had learned from the Prophet Salazar.
That prophecy came from the common mother of all the Eldar. Rather than a prophecy, it was more like a ballad, a lullaby sung to children:
In the Lost Dream Nebula, there is a continuous cemetery. "
"It is a tomb that spans across dimensions, burying a dead ancient civilization; and a door leading to the 'Pure Land'."
“It is a pure land without worries or dirt.”
"There, there is no endless pursuit of Slaanesh, and the dead tribesmen no longer have to commit themselves to infinite circuits, which make their souls cold and numb."
"There, there is no eternal flame of war, and children can sleep peacefully in their mothers' arms."
"over there……"
The rangers sang softly as the Starsail One frigate passed over the forest world and headed for the orange star in the center of the galaxy, while Starsail Two and Three hovered over two habitable planets respectively.
The division of labor among the advance reconnaissance team was very clear. While StarSail One went to investigate the large mechanical device located at the core of the galaxy, the rest of the team also began investigating the natives of the planet.
Except for the two logistics personnel who stayed in orbit, all the rangers in the frigate quickly airdropped onto the planet and quietly infiltrated the still backward indigenous tribe.
The captain of the Eldar Rangers led his warriors to split into small groups, disperse quickly, and cleverly hide in every corner of the indigenous tribes, concealing their tracks and patiently observing the daily lives of these backward indigenous peoples.
Even during the observation process, the rangers tried to cautiously use a very small amount of their psychic power to spy on their thoughts.
This was something the proud Eldar would never do, but they had to do it now.
Prophet Salazar learned from his mother's prophecy that if the Eldar wanted to gain the qualifications to enter and control the Pure Land, they needed to find a mysterious "key" scattered somewhere in the starry sky.
The "key" was made by the ancient civilization buried in this cemetery, and the indigenous aborigines in front of them, who were more barbaric and crude than humans and monkeys, were the remnants of that dead civilization.
The elves believed that they might be able to get some clues about the "key" from these natives.
However, the degree of degeneration of the descendants of this ancient civilization far exceeded the expectations of the Eldar Rangers.
After observing for several planetary rotation cycles, hundreds of ranger teams scattered among various indigenous tribes found nothing.
In the process, they secretly kidnapped many indigenous villagers for brainwashing, but from the brains of these barbarians, all the Eldar could extract were a large number of repetitive, boring and meaningless memories about working from sunrise to sunset.
If it weren't for the traces of genetic modification remaining in their bodies, the Eldar warriors would even think that these natives were not the descendants of some ancient civilization, but real barbaric natives.
The two Fordlan Ranger Battalions, responsible for investigating the forest world and grassland world respectively, exchanged information with each other and found out that the other side had also found nothing like themselves.
In the spirit of not returning empty-handed, the scattered and lurking Ranger teams went to the indigenous tribes to capture some leaders called chiefs, preparing to bring them back to the Ark World to continue the next investigation.
Afterwards, the two battalions of Rangers assembled at the landing point and waited for the arrival of the evacuation transport plane.
But as the call signal was issued, time passed, and the transport plane never arrived.
Just as they were about to send a signal to their tribesmen who were operating the frigate to remain in orbit, suddenly, a loud noise interrupted their thoughts.
“What’s that sound—”
What happened next was so sudden that even the Eldar's nervous system, which was far more efficient and precise than humans, could not react in time.
That was the sound of cannons, deafening and huge cannon sounds.
The high-speed spinning destructive warhead dropped from the sky with unstoppable momentum, and the brave and combative Fordlan Rangers quickly dispersed their formation to allow the cannon to hit the air.
They dodged the first shelling, but that meant little.
Because dense artillery fire was coming from every direction, hot plasma, high-speed rotating rail bombs, and school-like continuous grenades... massive attacks came from every direction, instantly flooding the clearing in the forest where the Rangers were, making them realize that they had been surrounded.
The sudden attack was so fierce, and the dense firepower coverage was so strong that even with the Eldar's agility and speed, the Ranger Battalion suffered heavy casualties after just one wave of attacks.
The open space where they had been standing was plowed through by overwhelming firepower in less than ten seconds. The soil that was dug out from deep underground was emitting thick white smoke, and some broken limbs were scattered on the charred land full of holes. In order to avoid the attack just now, the Eldar Rangers had to abandon the indigenous chiefs they had kidnapped earlier.
When the first wave of attacks ended, the rumbling sound of machinery running came from the dense forest. The invisibility field covering the body dissipated at this time, and the Eldar finally saw the true face of the attacker.
