Soshyan was watching a series of reports below on the bridge of the battle barge Heart of Light. Just ten minutes ago, the communication between the orbit and the ground was almost cut off, and most of the channels were left with only crackling sounds.
, distorted static interference, but Soshyan had long expected that the Necrontyr would do this first if they wanted to cause trouble - all Necron reports recorded by the empire in the past mentioned astropaths and remote communication
Being severely interfered with or even blocked.
So since he knew that this would happen, Soshiyang would not be the kind of person who cares about food but not fighting. He had already asked the Forge World to deploy a communication network that could effectively resist electromagnetic or anti-psionic interference—
—Laser communication.
And in order to ensure the stability of communication, the Forge World has placed tens of thousands of floating laser relay beacons in the atmosphere to serve as relay stations and dispatch points for laser transmitters and laser receivers between orbit and ground. In this way, unless the enemy is in
Creating smoke in the atmosphere or physical light shielding means, otherwise it would be impossible to cut off the communication between orbit and the ground, and between the ground and the ground. It is also thanks to the industrial capabilities of the Forge World that a complete set of global coverage can be established in two weeks.
Communication network.
Therefore, when an abnormal energy burst was detected on the ground, Soshyan immediately received the report.
In other words, the Necrontyrs of the Raisha Dynasty are ready to come out and have a chance with humans. This is good. Soshyan is also waiting for this moment, and the Eldar fleet is also lurking in the darkness at the edge of the sector.
In the void, waiting for the Phoenix King's instructions.
"The first wave of the Necrons' offensive must have come from their aircraft. All the field air defense forces of Scorch Oven City's forward forces have all entered the alert state. At the same time, the air defense arrays in each city have also entered the highest combat readiness state. Low-speed aircraft such as Archaeopteryx
Try not to get into the air. The main air superiority aircraft of the Necrons is the Doomsday Scythe. This kind of fighter is extremely fast, has extremely powerful weapons, and has a self-healing function. If you use any current human aircraft to fight against it, you will suffer a big loss. They are the only one.
The disadvantage is that the number may be relatively small, and they usually operate in formations of 3-5 units... Therefore, its response strategy is to use small high-speed aircraft as bait to attract them to the ambush area of the large laser array, and use ground firepower to quickly kill them
destroy."
Right in the bridge, Soshyan conveyed a series of battle plans and instructions to the integrated combat command center on the ground, where logic sages and data sages would quickly expand them into specific instructions.
At the same time, the appearance and some data of the enemy aircraft were also transmitted to the command center. As for why Soshyan knew the weapons and abilities of the Necrontyr so well, it was naturally thanks to Ada's help.
Especially the Frost Star Troupe.
The day after returning to orbit, Soshyan met the troupe leader of Frost Stars...
It was probably true that he was reminded by Veronica that the person he met with Soshyan was the troupe director of Guangming Drama (this troupe is very special with two troupe directors). He came to meet Soshyan mainly to bring three
message--
The first message is accurate information about the Necrontyr, especially weapons, equipment and personnel equipment. It basically fills in the large gaps that still exist in the Mechanicus' research that they don't know about. In the past, the empire basically faced two attacks by the Necrontyr.
It doesn't even matter if you are attacked. You may not even know the opponent's specific equipment type and weapon type after the fight. Therefore, whether it is victory or defeat, the loss will be huge. This is the problem of lack of intelligence. Alien Tribunal
They always said they were studying Necrons, but Soshyan really didn't know what they had been studying for so many years. They didn't even have a specific weapon parameter report, and they had to go to Ada to get it.
It’s not that the Royal Court didn’t have information about the Necrontyr before, but it was far from detailed. What Frost Star brought this time was extremely detailed information. This was also due to their long-term cooperation with Alaitok’s Ark to “torture” the ancients.
Old enemies, and even the heads of three dynasty overlords are now used as stage props in the troupe.
The importance of intelligence to the outcome of the war is self-evident. For example, without the performance information of the Necrontyr aircraft provided by Froststar, Soshyan would probably just think that their fighter planes are just "faster" and would still choose
Sending the Storm Falcon and other fighters to fight will definitely result in huge losses - the only ones that can compete with the Necrontyr fighter's incredible inertia-free engine are the equally unreasonable Ada fighters, and human aircraft can't even win the fight.
The problem is that you can’t even catch up with the opponent.
The second message is an ancient prophecy called "The Night of Sorrow". This prophecy comes from the ancient ancestors of Alaitoc. It is said that their goals in building the ark and leaving their homeland are very different from other arks.
A considerable number of the ancestors of Ark are very rare military personnel. They are a secret force of the ancient spirit empire. Before the Great Fall, they received a mysterious instruction from the top, so they entered the completed Aletto
In control.
The so-called "Night of Sorrow" is the "prophecy" or "instruction" left by those ancient ancestors, which reveals the true purpose of the existence of Alaitok's Ark - to do its best to weaken the Ada race when it declines.
The power of the former enemy the Necrontyr was used to prevent the inevitable return of the ancient enemy from destroying the Eldar race. The superb skills and tactics possessed by Alaitoc's "Pathfinders" came from the military heritage of the ancient empire.
This is also the reason why only Alaitoc has a wayfinder.
Alaitok's Prophetic Council originally understood that the Night of Sorrow was caused by the Sautec Dynasty, the strongest Necrontyr dynasty that had awakened, and that was why the reckless war of the Star Catastrophe began. However, after interpretation of the Frost Stars, it was concluded that
They came to different conclusions. They believed that the warning target of the Night of Sorrow should be the real leader of the Necrontyr, the so-called Council of the Three Holy Saints and the dark conspiracy it was preparing, and judged that the long-lost King of Silence would return.
Originally this was just a guess, but Veronica inadvertently revealed Soshiyang's hostility towards the Silent King during a conversation with the troupe's filmmakers (in fact, Soshiyang and Veronica had already thought of a strategy to test the Harlequin Troupe.
reaction to the Necrontyr), this was immediately keenly captured by the filmmakers, and she immediately launched a powerful verbal offensive, and finally "persuaded" Veronica to tell some of the connections between the Silent King and Soshyan - mainly
The conflict between the two on the Eleventh Legion immediately led the two troupe leaders to judge that the real enemy of the ancient prophecy was the Silent King Szarak!
This is why they eagerly expressed through Veronica that they wanted to communicate directly with Soshyan.
