Without any explanation for his behavior, Soshyan put down the wreckage and said slowly:
"Before, we always thought that the alien's tomb was under Scorch Oven City, but now it seems that is not the case, or... the scale of this alien tomb is much larger than we imagined, but I suddenly realized a problem, this
This war has been going on for nearly half a year now. If the Genestealers were attacked by the Necron and forced to launch a riot, it means that the Necrons' tombs awakened half a year ago, but they have never appeared before. Now
But suddenly appeared..."
What Soshyan wanted to say at first was that it must be related to their arrival, but then he captured a detail that was easily overlooked among the many pieces of information.
"Sage Aijake, there are nine forward strongholds where they encounter the Necrons, but they are basically scattered Skinners, right?"
"Yes."
"In other words, the only one that was attacked on a large scale was the K2 sub-command... Why is this? Is the location of that place important?"
The ruling sage immediately called up a map of the war zone on top of the table, with the locations of all strongholds and sub-commands marked on it.
"Look, the K2 sub-command is located in the south-west of the Slag Mountains... To be important, it is the sub-command closest to Coke Oven City, so it is responsible for blocking enemy supplies and reinforcements, so
We have over two thousand Skitarii deployed there."
"The closest to Coke Oven City..."
Soshyan crossed his arms and stared for a while, then turned to look at Surena.
"Ninth Company Commander, did you find anything unusual in K2?"
"Abnormal... When we went there, the stronghold was empty and there were no aliens... It must be said that it was abnormal. The enemy attacked from outside, and after we encountered a large number of mechanical beetles in the command center, this is a bit unreasonable.
, if the enemy captures that place, they should ambush us in the stronghold, there is no need to attack from outside the wall."
"you're right."
Soshyan withdrew his gaze and looked at the constantly rotating war zone map. After a long time, he whispered with a doubtful tone:
"Is it possible that... they are not here to attack you... or that they are attacking K2 to find something? You said you encountered mechanical beetles in the command center, why did they huddle in that place?"
"We previously suspected there was an underground passage there."
"In this case, there is no need for them to attack from outside the wall."
"Well, yes, I have also considered this, but the battle was so fierce at the time that I didn't have time to think about it in detail."
"The only ones you encountered in the command center were scarabs?"
"Yes... I was attacked by the ghosts of the tomb as soon as I came out."
Soshyan clapped his hands lightly.
"I'm sure, there must be something else hidden in the command center. The sudden appearance of the Necrons in the Slag Mountains this time is probably related to that thing."
At this time, the ruling sage spoke.
"Sir, we cleaned up the K2 stronghold not long ago and found nothing special."
"It means it's a running thing."
"this..."
Soshyan no longer paid attention to the ruling sage, but fell into his own thinking.
If the Necron were really looking for something, or chasing something, what could it be?
Genestealer Clan Leader?
Or some Mechanicus priest who stole their important items?
And why does this thing hide in a human stronghold?
Another point worth thinking about is that what appeared on the battlefield were either skinners or war machines. The real "individuals" of the Necrons did not appear. Why is this? Isn't it more convenient for units that are obviously sane to chase? Why are they used?
What about these mindless gadgets carrying out complex hunting missions?
Suddenly, Soshyan lowered his gaze and looked at the slightly deformed skull of the Skinner. He suddenly thought of something and stretched out his hand to grab the skull amidst everyone's confusion.
When a secret symbol appeared in Soshiyang's eyes, the power of gray marrow made him feel the malice hidden in the skull...
Lando...Gore...
The syllables composed of thousands of echoes and the maddening high-pitched metal friction sound echoed in Soshyan's mind. He tried to steady his mind and wanted to grab information that was useful to him.
However, with the gaze of a pair of crazy eyes, everything disappeared, and there was only the metal skull in front of him.
Soshyan finally understood why the Necrons let the unstable Skinners take on the tracking mission, because they knew they were coming and knew that they could extract memories from normal Necron individuals. They didn't want to expose themselves, but they just didn't want to expose themselves.
It was this abnormal behavior that exposed their intentions.
Soshiyang sneered and threw the skull back on the table. Since the other party knew his abilities so well, it meant that they were related to that old guy, the King of Silence.
"very good."
The fact that the other party is so secretive means that they really don't want to discover the joint.
Thinking of this, Soshiyang further expanded his thoughts. If the things here were related to the King of Silence, once he discovered something, the other party might have to turn over the table and have a showdown with him. Then he would have to face not only the people on the planet but also the King of Silence.
This group is likely to be attacked by Necron fleets from other galaxies or star regions.
When he thought of the Necron fleet, he immediately recalled the indestructible power of the World Engine. Soshiyang narrowed his eyes. Although he brought all the fleets of the White Templar and part of the fleet of Ulan Huda this time, he had to fight against the world.
Even if the entire forging world is included in a powerful weapon like the engine, it might be a bit difficult.
It seems a bit unwise to choose to fall out with that old guy here, but then again, this area is on the edge of the Tempest Sector. It stands to reason that there should not be many Necron tomb worlds, and the history of the nearby Orpheus Sector
There are no reports of any battles involving the Necrons.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It should be that the power of the Silent King here is relatively weak, right?
In fact, after experiencing the last World Engine War, Soshyan was not so afraid of this thing, because he knew that this giant fortress had a fatal weakness, that is, it was completely driven by a bound Star God fragment. He also
You can kill the World Engine alone and devour the Star God fragments inside, so the so-called World Engine is just a dead fish.
It's just that he needs some time in this process, and the losses of other forces responsible for blocking may be great. The forging world Ekvoria may also be destroyed. Soshyan feels that these mechanical bastards are not worthy of making him pay such a high price.
.
To be on the safe side, perhaps we should not delve into the secrets of the Necrons first, but instead secretly transfer some of the power from the Eldar side as a trump card - at least the Dark Light Butterfly will definitely be able to fight against the World Engine, and Soshiyang has nothing to do with it.
There is no doubt that after everything is arranged properly, he will dig up the alien tombs in this world and dig out their secrets. If it is really related to the King of Silence, then he will give this old guy a hard slap in the face.
See if it shows up.
Even if it really wants to flip the table over, it has its own way to deal with it.
After making up his mind, Soshi said loudly:
"The activities of the aliens do not affect our grand strategy. The enemies in Cui Fank City have been annihilated, so the focus of our attack will shift to Scorch Oven City, oppressing the enemies from two directions, but some modifications will be made to the details. Slag
The situation in the mountains has been basically controlled. The enemy is completely compressed in the bottom tunnel. There is no need for us to play whack-a-mole. The No. 3 Holy Furnace Mine on the west side of Scorch Oven City will be the new attack point. Cui Fanke's troops have already
After transferring and distributing, and waiting for all the troops to be in place, we will advance from east to west and launch an attack on Coke Oven City at the same time!"
