"These lowly inferior races have been infected with Ada's blood! They must be destroyed!"
"Revenge! Revenge must be taken!"
"These lower races must know their status!"
"Total destruction of their little country!"
The calls for war from the leaders of the Ada warriors came one after another. Soshyan withdrew his attention and narrowed his eyes. Doral, who felt his emotions, immediately shouted loudly:
"quiet!"
In an instant, all the sounds disappeared. Doral's Golden Feather Guard has gained considerable intimidation in the royal court over the years. After all, who hasn't kept some secrets? Although it also earned him the title of "treacherous sycophant"
.
After more than ten seconds of silence, Soshyan said slowly:
"Summoning the supplicants of Larsus."
As soon as he finished speaking, a long voice was heard outside the Privy Council——
"Your Highness has an order to summon those from Larsus for help!"
With a flash of light, a very nervous-looking young man wearing red clothing, Ada, appeared on the podium, replacing Ivahan.
Then he knelt down on one knee and said with a slightly trembling voice holding his breath:
"Barbarian people, Ganser Tree Heart, pays homage to His Highness the Phoenix King! On behalf of all the soldiers and civilians of Larsus, I beg Your Highness to send troops quickly to save our hometown, including our relatives and friends!"
As he spoke, he changed from kneeling on one knee to kneeling on both knees, lying on the ground, sobbing.
Soshiyang was most afraid of coming here. He had already seen that the Adas who had been restrained in the hall were getting restless again, and their anger and hatred were building up...
"The royal court will naturally not ignore the requests for help and suffering of our compatriots. Please get up. I have something I need to know from you for the next military operation."
Hearing what Soshyan said, the man shed tears and stood up.
"Has the Kingdom of Lilarsus had any contact or contact with the Tau people in the past?"
"Back to Your Highness, we have never had any contact with those dirty blue-skinned monsters! The kingdom has an ancient orbital concealment ring system, and the inferior technology of those blue-skinned monsters will not detect us at all!"
"Then how do they know the location of the Kingdom of Lilarsus?"
When Gunther Treeheart heard this, he almost growled through gritted teeth.
"Because they are a group of ungrateful beasts! When the Hungry Dragon attacked their weak home, a powerless ship came near the kingdom. Out of pity, the kingdom finally decided to save them, using its only ancient small ship.
The ship brought them food and took them to the nearest star system. It was probably then that they knew the location of the kingdom! And they also threw various garbage to the area where the kingdom was from time to time, some of which fell to the ground and opened
The last are their poor audio and video products, as if they are trying to introduce their inferior culture, which is simply unconscionable!"
As soon as these words came out, many warriors immediately burst into an uproar, condemning the Tau clan one after another.
"They are indeed a despicable and inferior race. They must be completely destroyed!"
"War! War! They must pay with blood!"
After noticing that Soshyan narrowed his eyes again, Doral immediately shouted loudly:
"Quiet! Quiet!"
He picked up a small hammer and struck the golden bell hanging next to him three times.
After the voice subsided, Soshiyang said slowly:
"How long ago was that?"
"About...seven arcs of light."
The Arc of Light was a commonly used unit of time measurement in the ancient Ada Empire, which was equivalent to about 12 years in the standard Terran calendar. In other words, this was almost eighty years ago.
"It stands to reason that the Tau should have discovered the Kingdom of Rilarsus seven arcs of light ago. Why wait until now to attack?"
At this time, a battle officer from Jemlok said in a deep voice:
"They were probably severely injured by the Hungry Dragon before, and have only recently regained their strength. The life span of the Tau is very short, and seven arcs of light are almost two generations."
Then another commander also expressed his opinion.
"...And based on all aspects of intelligence and records, the Tau are a race that is no less aggressive and expansionist than humans. Since they officially entered the galaxy, they have carried out large-scale expansion almost every once in a while.
In just a very short time, their territory has increased by more than 400 times compared to its original size! It can be seen...that their desire for planets and resources is extremely greedy."
Once it comes to this point, even Soshyan has nothing to say, because from Ada's perspective, this is an invasion. This attack by the Tau is just one of their many expansion actions. If Soshyan
If you look into the details and reasons carefully, you will easily feel that you are trying to shirk or avoid fighting.
Now that they are so excited, if someone stands up and points this out, Soshyan will be a little embarrassed no matter how he reacts.
"What is the strength of the invaders?"
"Well..."
Hearing Soshyan ask this, Ganser Shuxin's tongue was stuck, and it was obvious that he didn't know.
"...Many, quite a lot, their fleets are crowded in orbit, and all kinds of soldiers and machines are attacking in waves...The kingdom may fall at any time!"
It is Soshyan's consistent principle of war to know oneself and the enemy before war. Even when dealing with Chaos enemies, he will try to understand the opponent's strength, origins, members, troop distribution, etc. The last time he went to support the Linnaean Kingdom, he did not
These are needed because they are the human army. As an Astartes who has served as the supreme commander of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, Soshyan knows the human armed forces and level very well, so he can make a rough analysis without specific information.
I know a lot about what equipment and weapons they will use, as well as their tactics.
But Titanium is at least a completely unfamiliar opponent to him personally. Although there is a lot of information in the Royal Court, and the records from Harlequin and some Arkworlds are also very detailed, text alone cannot restore the armed strength and level of a civilization.
In particular, the Tau Lord's military strength is indeed not weak among the galactic races, and its tactics and structure are very special.
"By the way, isn't the Kingdom of Lilarsus on good terms with the Weeping Dawn Troupe? Have they sent reinforcements?"
After Ganser Shuxin hesitated for a moment, he replied disappointedly:
"No... we sent out a signal for help, but there was no response, and there were no reinforcements... I don't know what happened."
The Kingdom of Linnaeus managed to summon the troupe last time, but this time the Kingdom of Larsus couldn't even summon the troupe. A trace of suspicion arose in Soshyan's heart.
But he didn't show it, he just nodded and said warmly:
"I understand. You can go down and rest first. I will work out a detailed strategy for dispatching troops with my ministers."
When Gunther Treeheart disappeared, Soshyan fell silent, tapping the armrest of the throne with the fingers of his right hand.
After a while, he said loudly:
"The Tau's attack was able to destroy the defense of the Kingdom of Lilarsus so quickly, which shows that their military investment is very huge. It is very likely that they came in full force. It was a big battle for the Royal Court to go to support... The lion fights the rabbit
, also use all their strength, no matter how strong their troops are, the Royal Court must go all out, but the ground troops are okay, the webway gate of the Kingdom of Lilarsus has not fallen yet, what about the naval power?"
