Hammer 40k: Far East Storm

"I don't understand why we must capture Eden," the War Witch knelt down under the shade of a tree while wiping his Lich Sword. On the blade of the sword, the living runes twisted and twisted. Every time it is wiped, the sword is constantly changing. If someone is proficient in the Eldar runes, he can read the mood of the war wizard at this time from the flashing runes on the sword. But Zhan Wu's tone was still calm, and he said as naturally as talking about the weather: "Although the process of the war is not my area of ​​focus, this war has lasted too long."

"The gain is not worth the loss, right?" Maya Xingnuo, the battle commander, unexpectedly looked at the war commander who was kneeling next to him in the most standard posture. It was not easy to get this commander to speak. Most of the time, , this battle commander always uses short words to communicate with others. It is rare to speak a long series of sentences like this now.

But even Zhan Si, who was so silent, spoke up, which showed that the situation was already very bad.

"This is not something we should talk about," Si Zhan Maya Starfury said: "We are only obeying the call of the prophet, and we cannot and should not retreat. We must let the human race understand who is the master of the Far East. "

Yes, such talk is inappropriate, because such talk itself represents questioning the prophet. But in the society of the Eldar people, how can you question the prophet?

The vision of the prophets can penetrate the mists of time. Without these people, the Eldar race might have been destroyed long ago with the birth of the evil god Prince Joy. It is precisely because of such a group of people who foresaw the terrifying future. , the ark just created took the people to wander into the depths of the universe, escaping the psychic storm that almost swept through most of the galaxy.

Prophets have a very high status among the Eldar people. They are usually leaders, and most of what the prophets say is correct. They are always right.

"That's not a reason." The war witch put the lich sword aside and picked up the spear next to him. It was the spear of song. The war witch's hand caressed the spear gently, as if caressing the most precious thing. He is communicating with the spiritual energy in the spear to prepare for the upcoming war. This is what the War Witch likes to do most on weekdays. "The war lasts too long, even if we have a prophet, Even if we can defeat the enemy's army again and again, we will never be able to win a decisive victory. Human beings are now all over the galaxy and want to compete with them in the galaxy. This is not right. The prophets should have more ingenious methods. The methods, and more importantly, the sacrifices are getting bigger and bigger, but what can we get? A beautiful planet that we will never live in?”

War Secretary Maya Starfury was silent, because this was also the question in her mind.

Regarding the battle for Eden, the war between humans in the Far East Military Region and the Alaitok clan operating in the Far East has been ongoing.

The war continues to burn, and countless lives are the firewood under the raging fire. The war is intermittent, with occasional fluctuations, but these cannot be the key factors that determine victory or defeat, so the war continues like this, and the war continues to burn. went and ended up turning into a huge battle between the two races spread across three galaxies.

The Eldar people fully demonstrated their gorgeous, ferocious and deadly fighting power to humans during the war. Many frontline commanders even made a thick book about the battle process of the Eldar, and then slapped it on the face of their own staff. Compared with the Eldar, the human army is like a cumbersome old bear. It was easily teased by the Spirit Tribe people, and then calmly cut into pieces, leaving corpses on the ground.

Fortunately, the people above are used to it. For the defense forces, as long as they start a war with the Spirit Tribe, such a failure is inevitable. If we talk about fighting the Orcs, the people below will suffer the loss. The commanders and staff above have almost nothing to do. They only need to issue such a simple order, "Kill all the green-skinned monsters in front of you" and then just It is enough to let the people below fight for life and death with the Orcs, then the war with the Spirits is exactly the opposite.

The Eldar people often make their commanders bang their heads against the wall and make their staff schizophrenic. No matter how hard the heads above use their brains or how they study military drawings all night long, they will most likely eventually discover such a sad fact. From the beginning In the end, they have been trapped in the trap of the Eldar people.

The ancient sages before the God-Emperor once said such a philosophical saying, it is called the cook and the ox, and he can do it with ease. It is extremely accurate to use such philosophical words to describe the war between the defense forces and the spirit tribe. However, here, the cook Ding is a spirit tribe, and they can easily dismember the defense forces and then eat them in pieces.

Because the commanders of the Eldar are not ordinary people, but warriors who are proficient in various paths. These people have a comprehensive and perfect understanding of the art of war. In their long lives, they have traveled and are familiar with many paths. , which naturally includes multiple branches of the warrior's path.

Every Eldar who has obtained the title of War Master is an excellent commander. Because all War Masters have the same philosophy, Eldar without this philosophy cannot become War Masters. Maya Starfury naturally believes in this philosophy. She believes that the true path to excellent combat skills is not in fierce physical combat, but to overlook the entire battlefield from a higher level and guide the Eldar army to win in the most efficient and deadly way. This is the path of command, a passionate obsession, and a deep understanding of the relationship between battle tactics and the relationship between battles and the entire war.

Each element of the Eldar War Path provides a unique strategic ability for the War Master, and he has insight into all the elements, an ability that a martial arts master will never hope to obtain.

Therefore, an Eldar army led by a War Master and an Eldar army without a War Master are two completely different concepts. When an Eldar army is commanded by a War Master, it operates like a carefully polished machine, with each component perfectly consistent with other components, exerting the most efficient power of killing and destruction.

There is almost no army in the universe willing to face such an army, because the army of the Eldar is as gorgeous, colorful, and perfect as their handicrafts. Except for those orcs who are not clear-headed and those monsters that cannot communicate, most creatures will try their best to avoid going to war with the Eldar.

What's more, it is not only the war master that makes the Eldar people scary, but also the more troublesome existence, that is, the Eldar prophet.

If there are people who call themselves prophets in the human world, then these charlatans who dare to spread rumors will most likely be tied to the stake and burned to death by the church. Almost all those who are burned to death deserve it, because time is so mysterious, who can say that it can see through time and predict the future? Anyone who dares to say so is just a liar.

But the Eldar prophets are different. These Eldar people on the path of prophecy have long been familiar with and mastered many secrets of psychic energy. They have a deep understanding of psychic energy and are constantly exploring the mysteries of psychic energy. This also allows their eyes to briefly penetrate the fog of time through certain steps and see fragments of the future.

The most headache-inducing thing is that the prophets can not only predict the upcoming dangers and major events in the universe. They can also make accurate predictions about some small things. For example, in a war, if the prophet predicts that an enemy army will pass a certain road at a certain time, then this will most likely announce the death of this army. All you need to do is simply ambush, then time it, and let your people rush out. Ahaha, the prophet's prediction is indeed correct, the enemy really passed by here.

The prophet always stands beside the war chief, providing their wisdom and opinions to the commander of the war. Having such an enemy means that the enemy has the best commander, the most powerful army, and a terrible person who can occasionally spy on the military secrets of his own side through the high-level laws of the universe such as cause and effect. You don't even have too many ways to counter him. The prophet is not a spy. He doesn't even need to peek at the commander's orders. He only sees the future.

Logically speaking, such an Eldar army should be undefeated. But they still have their own headaches. This problem that makes the Eldar war chief and the war witch headache is very similar to the problem that humans have when they fight against orcs, that is, the problem of war damage.

No matter how strong the Eldar army is, even if their war concept is to annihilate the enemy without any loss, the enemy they face is not a harmless little white rabbit, but an imperial defense force armed to the teeth. There will inevitably be casualties in war. When humans face orcs, they will not be willing to engage in a long tug-of-war because they can't afford it. The same is true for the Eldar. Their population is not comparable to that of humans. The Eldar have a long life span, and reproduction is also a big problem. If they kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800, then even if they win, this victory will not have much meaning for the Eldar.

This is also the problem that the war Simaya Xingnu is worried about. This problem has been lingering in her mind for a long time. Why must Eden be obtained? This is just a planet. What is the importance to the Eldar?

However, Maya Xingnu has never asked these questions, because she doesn't like the prophet who came with the army this time. If possible, she doesn't even want to meet this prophet. In short, she is upset when she sees this prophet, let alone talk to him.

Besides, as long as the time comes, even if she doesn't ask, the prophet will tell her.

Sure enough, after a while, there was a fluctuation in the space, and a prophet wearing gorgeous rune armor walked out of the web hidden in the void.
