After agreeing with Soshyan's Tombbreaker's plan, Doral followed suit and flattered him.
"In the past, the fight against the Necrontyr was a sporadic operation of various Arks, and even the exchange of information was difficult. With this association, not only can intelligence be unified, but also the power of various Arks can be twisted into one when necessary. His Highness's wisdom orders
People are amazed."
Soshiyang smiled slightly, looked at Xing Calamity and said:
"This is just the beginning, Lord Star Calamity. I said that the Royal Court will definitely help you get back what you lost."
Star Calamity glanced at his spiritual bone prosthetic hand, bowed and said:
"Thank you for your great love, Your Highness, I will always be grateful."
Soshyan looked at Doral again.
"Mr. Doral, tell Mr. Ivahan to ask the Privy Council to issue a rally order to all the vassal races of the Royal Court. Maybe Victor has spent a lot of money this time. If we want to counterattack an army, we need a stronger force.
These vassal races have been under the protection of the Royal Court for some time, and it is time for them to serve the Royal Court. Also, over at the Ark...can Bejetan send out some fleets?"
"Back to Your Highness, Bayetan should be able to provide part of the fleet."
"Well, Samhan, Alaitok, Mimela and other Arks have secretly sent people to contact them to get some fleets, plus Otanza and other Arkworlds stationed near the Royal Court, well...
.By the way, has the third Blackstone Fortress been moved back?"
"Your Highness, it has been transported back to the royal court. The internal cleanup phase is now over, and the Bonesingers are rebuilding many damaged ancillary structures and facilities."
Soshyan nodded.
"Then even if the Royal Court fleet is deployed in full force, there is no need to worry about Eden's defense. If the Void Dragon Pirate Group is captured, then the Royal Court will be able to add at least a thousand more warships. Even if they are all small ships, they will still be a huge force of war.
With our strength, we can increase our chances of winning in the battle against Comoros, and we can also take the opportunity to weaken Victor's fleet, killing two birds with one stone!"
After some more discussions with the two of them, they left using the remaining energy of Lilith's Mirror - this unique psychic artifact was personally made by Lilith's daughter Luvia Greta. It seemed that she was the only one who was sleepwalking.
It can only be made when the state is high, so it is extremely rare. There are currently only five sides in the entire royal court. There is one side here for Soshyan, one side for Veronica, and the rest are kept in the secret vault. This kind of artifact can make three
The following spirits will travel to another mirror at will, and then the one with psychic power among the three will break the curtain and appear in reality.
After arranging matters on the Eldar side, Soshiyang still had to face more complicated matters on the Empire side.
He barely had time to rest, and he met non-stop with Deacon Ebanks, the representative of the state church. The two had a five-hour meeting, mainly communicating about the recent war situation, the current society and the archdiocese.
The economic situation, follow-up arrangements, etc., among which Soshyan also explained the origin of the Abyss-class - a scrap ship purchased from a short man.
Although the state religion is very fanatical, it is relatively tolerant on certain issues. For example, on the issue of demi-humans, the state religion is more tolerant than many imperial organizations, because in their view, as long as they sincerely believe in the God Emperor, they are state religion believers, and demi-humans are not.
The problem is that race is important, not "subtle" biological differences.
Therefore, Ebanks did not have any special opinions on the cooperation between Soshyan and Short Man. Although even though he was not very knowledgeable about technology, he felt that the style of this ship was really wrong. The Abyss-class looked different even from a distance and up close.
There is some alien content and technological heresy in it, but as long as you have a loyal heart and a sense of mission for the throne, you can still use it critically.
The two men focused on the issue of militarization and fortressization of the archdiocese.
The state religion naturally desires this. A territory with strong military force can even be said to be the dream of more than ten generations of popes. Why does the state religion often make concessions to the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the Inquisition on some key issues? Isn’t it because the barrel of the gun is not strong?
!
But Ebanks has concerns about this, because establishing a faith watch in the name of the Suffering Alliance is already stepping on a red line, at least in his opinion. Even if the archdiocese is very remote, if it is really militarized with great fanfare, it will still be criticized.
The risk of the lord discovering it, and once this matter is revealed, it will be a serious political incident that shakes the entire empire.
In order to open up the "conservative" thinking of the deacon, Soshyan adopted a persuasive approach and used his interests to the other party. According to the latest reconnaissance information, the Tyranid Hive Fleet showed signs of differentiation after sweeping across the Westeros galaxy.
, according to the past Tyranid action patterns, they will be divided into many tentacle fleets again, marching in different directions. Some of them may leave the archdiocese and go to the wider Storm Star Territory, but the other part will still be absorbed by the rich biomass of the archdiocese.
Attract, there are quite a lot of enemies here, and they will definitely not be able to be cleared away in a short while, requiring a long-term war of attrition.
It is obviously impossible for the empire to send troops to support this place, and the state religion cannot provide long-term "blood transfusion" to the archdiocese. In the end, the burden of resistance still falls on the shoulders of the local people, so the most cost-effective solution is to arm them so that they can fight on their own
A large number of soldiers are trained to make various weapons and equipment, and even battleships, so that the archdiocese has a high-quality officer class.
Moreover, Soshiyang also expressed tactfully that Zhao Akada and other foundry worlds would not always assist here. Ebanks should know better than him what virtues the Adeptus Mechanicus has.
Finally, he also made some threats. Soshyan said that because the ascetics were attacked, the Suffering Alliance must avenge their brothers according to the agreement. In addition, because the Tyranids showed signs of spreading, other directions in the Storm Star Territory also needed to defend, so the Alliance
It is no longer possible to stay here for a long time.
There was nothing in the front, but Ebanks was startled from the back, and he quickly said that Soshyan could not leave at this time, otherwise even with the Silent Knights, they would not be able to fight against the menacing Tyranids.
He actually approved the plan to militarize the archdiocese, but he didn't know much about military affairs on how to do it, so he could only ask Soshyan.
At this time, it was Soshyan's turn to bargain. He said with embarrassment that as an Astartes, he was really not suitable for this matter. After all, he was the one who proposed the plan, and he was also very aware of the risks involved. If something went wrong,
He who breaks the taming order will be ruined.
Ebanks doesn't understand military affairs, but he understands politics and people's hearts.
He immediately said that he would basically agree to whatever assistance Soshyan needed from the state church. If he was really in trouble, he would inform the Pope as soon as possible. However, considering the distance, as long as it was not particularly excessive, he would
He would all agree. After all, the Pope gave him very high authority when he was sent here, almost as a plenipotentiary.
Because the two of them were talking in secret, Soshyan did not hide it and told Ebanks that if he wanted to do this safely, it was best to put a "vest" on him.
Ebanks immediately thought of what Soshiyan meant, which was actually to support a sect in the archdiocese. In fact, this is also a very common trick used by the state church - such as the Redemption sect, which is very typically used to do things that are inconvenient for the state church.
Dirty work, as well as death worship cults, are similar things. The relationship between the sect and the state religion is very easy to separate. Even if it is later labeled as a heretic by the Inquisition, it will not be linked to the state religion.
