After listening to Fonseca's introduction, the female Eldar looked a little surprised, but soon turned to doubt and shook her head.
"I still can't believe it."
Veronica walked forward with a smile. She didn't say a word, she just raised her hand, and then a very weak energy floated out from her arm.
The Eldar retreated slightly when she saw this, but immediately she stopped moving. Not only her, but all the other Eldar seemed to freeze.
A few minutes later, Veronica, whose face suddenly turned pale, said softly:
"Your soul is intact, but your body, including your body, has been weakened. Your lifespan should also be shortened, right?"
As a highly psychic race, communication between the Eldar sometimes does not require so much language. Those Eldar seemed to immediately accept the fact that Veronica was the daughter of Isa, and they put down their weapons and took off their helmets.
After the leading female Eldar was silent for a long time, she said slowly:
"For so many years, we have been trying to leave, and we have been trying to contact our compatriots, but this is the Trace of Kane, and the enemy's eyes can be locked on us at any time. Every time we try, we end in the most painful failure, and finally...
..."
"What protects you."
"It's...Var's Blessing."
Veronica's face suddenly showed surprise.
"Ah, it's actually——"
At this time, the Eldar opposite her turned her attention to Soshiyang. She seemed to recognize the armor on Soshiyang, but because he was wearing a golden mask, she couldn't tell what it looked like.
"This...his clothes, could it be..."
Fonseca answered her question.
"Asuryan recognized...Phoenix King, His Highness Soshyan Alexei."
The spirit race frowned.
"Huh? This name...and His Highness's physique are a bit..."
Fonseca coughed twice in embarrassment, but instead of explaining, he said instead:
"You must not disobey your Majesty."
However, these words had an effect. The Eldar turned his attention back to Veronica, then bowed slightly and whispered:
"Your Majesty, no offense is intended."
"nothing."
Veronica responded gently:
"That is to say, you have been living in the blessing of Vaal for so many years, right?"
"Yes."
"Is it hidden in this planet? Or, this planet is actually its disguise."
The spirit tribe didn't answer, but nodded silently. Veronica wasn't annoyed either, she just smiled slightly and said softly:
"By the way, I haven't asked your name yet."
"My name is Patricia."
"Hazy Moon, what a name. Can you please take me to meet your people? Although you have been protected by the Blessing of Vaal for so many years, you have also been trapped in it. It is time to be liberated."
"His Majesty......"
Fonseca suddenly said:
"You can first let them send representatives to the royal court to express their surrender. Now that the details are unknown, it would be inappropriate to go there rashly..."
Although he said it more euphemistically, Soshyan could tell that what the other party meant was that they still didn't understand the composition of this group of people, and that as a queen, Veronica should not go into danger alone.
This idea is correct, and Soshyan basically agrees with it. After all, it stands to reason that a group that has been isolated for so long has no reason to directly surrender to a king whom it does not understand at all, even if the other party has the most orthodox identity.
Generally speaking, in this galaxy, strangers often bring only malice, even if they are of the same race.
But he respects Veronica's idea, and more importantly, with the Yanyang Sword in hand, he has enough confidence that even if a fallen primarch comes, he has the strength to fight, let alone these weak spirits.
clan.
So Soshyan still did not express any opinion.
"It's okay, I trust these compatriots."
The Eldar looked at Veronica, and then nodded.
"It's an honor. Your Majesty, please come with me."
After entering the door, Soshyan saw two unique vehicles parked inside the door. They looked like some kind of marine crustacean creature, with gray-white spiritual bones stacked on top of each other layer by layer. The edges were surrounded by what looked like
Short, webbed, translucent wings. When the Eldar approach, their layered spiritual bone armor will open a crack.
"This is the void octopus..."
Seeing this unique vehicle, Veronica introduced it to Soshyan in a low voice.
"I have only seen it in the classics. This is a type of assault craft used by the ancient Imperial Navy. In principle, it can penetrate all types of shields, including the Necrontyr's denial force field. It is said that its history can be traced back to
In that ancient war, the navy used it to deliver troops to the enemy's space fortress. Today, there are probably only a very few craft worlds that still have this kind of relic."
"Then the identities of these Eldar..."
"I guess it's an ancient empire fleet lost in the maelstrom."
Although Veronica boarded one of the ships with Soshyan, the situation inside was very similar to other Eldar vehicles. The spiritual bones exuding aura and unique crystal equipment were full of a unique sense of splendor and fantasy.
, but Soshyan still maintained that mechanical attitude, just standing beside Veronica without saying a word.
Suddenly, Soshyan asked in a low voice:
"Are you okay? I see you seem a little tired. Are you feeling unwell?"
Veronica shook her head.
"The spiritual energy here is almost completely isolated, so I'm a little uncomfortable with it. I just borrowed the energy stored in the Heart of Avalon... It's really strange why this place is like this."
"You mean, this planet is isolated from subspace?"
"Well...the situation of these compatriots is strange, so you should pay attention to it."
As the vehicle began to move, Veronica also began to learn more about the situation of these missing compatriots.
The facts were almost as she guessed, this was indeed a lost ancient empire fleet.
This fleet was numbered 21 in the ancient empire, and was named Eldanes, which has the same name as the ancient hero killed by Kane in the Eldar mythology. Before the Great Fall, it mainly operated in the ocean called Desolate Ocean, which is now the Eclipse.
Patrolling near the Ghoul Sector.
The fleet received an order on the eve of the Great Fall - to transport a Blessing of Vaal to the Scar of Cain, which is the Maelstrom area.
At that time, the Eldar Empire was basically in a state of paralysis due to the chaos in the royal court, but the navy that believed in the Craftsman God still maintained a certain operational capability. According to Patricia, or the descriptions in the ancient files left by their ancestors,
The priests of the Haig Temple have noticed the increasingly violent changes in the Supreme Heaven, but they are unable to analyze the reasons. In order to prevent possible accidents, with the efforts of many parties, the last Phoenix King ordered the Blessing of Vaal to be moved to the physical entity.
Kane's Scar, a natural subspace rift in the universe, has always been a taboo area for Ada, because it is said that the Maelstrom is a scar that was torn in the galaxy when Kane fought with the craftsman Val.
It was against this background that the Eldanes fleet escorted a Blessing of Vaal named "Seferi Battle Crown" to the Scar of Kane. However, as soon as they arrived at the edge of the Scar of Kane, the Great Fall occurred.
.
The ancient empire was destroyed overnight, countless Eldar worlds were exterminated, and many Eldar races in the galaxy also had their souls stolen by the enemy.
The ancestors of the Eldanes fleet were also affected by Slaanesh's Scream, and nearly a third of them were killed, but at this time the Blessing of Vaal came into play.
Patricia's ancestors decisively activated the exorcism function of Vaal's Blessing. Although it made the tribe weak, it also blocked the invasion of Slaanesh in time, but it had one consequence -
