Stars for the good Warhammer

Chapter 169 [Ancestral Shield]

When he heard the news about the Eldar from the excited Anglican priest, Michael couldn't help but look at each other with Gabriel and Raphael who were observing the experiment, and then he seemed helpless. Said to himself.

"It's them again."

"Ever since the Senen War, those guys have been eyeing us, and their fleet has been harassing transport ships nearby. If mother hadn't modified the design of those destroyers to let the destroyers take on the transportation task, I'm afraid the damage would have been even greater. More serious."

On the side, Raphael's tone became somewhat solemn, and it was obvious that he didn't have much fondness for these pointy-eared monkeys.

"It seems that those guys regard us as a threat. Judging from their recent actions, these things want to use the minimum cost to contain the Alliance's colonies in this universe in the cradle."

“It’s just wishful thinking.”

"But how did they get in? Now the galaxy is being disturbed by a phenomenon called a subspace storm. Our fleet has also blocked all stable Mandeville points, and the wide-area detection radar has not detected it. Any sign of intruders."

As the words of the two people fell, Gabriel, who had been silent since the beginning, took the initiative to disconnect the mechanical throne, and then observed the relationship between the throne and the machine soul in the data panel with a slightly curious look. While interacting with each other, he expressed his views with great interest.

"My father once said that this universe has been disturbed by a strange phenomenon called GW since its birth. This conceptual level factor has caused serious changes in the technological and cultural development of various civilizations in the universe. Abnormality, it is precisely because of this phenomenon that most civilizations, except for a few, do not even have the most basic ability to travel at faster than light speeds."

"A cosmic empire that does not have the ability to travel faster than light sounds like a joke. It is even worse than some primitive races that are treated as livestock by the Alliance. I am very curious about what kind of existence the GW my father mentioned is. It By what means does it affect the reality of this universe?"

When these technology-related issues were mentioned, the other party was obviously interested. After a slight pause, Gabriel put forward a conjecture of his own.

"Since they were able to expand their colonies to the entire galaxy despite the interference of GW, and combined with the unstable characteristics of subspace, the civilization in this universe must have more than one method for long-distance travel."

"For example, using a gravity enhancement device to enhance the gravitational slingshot effect, using the gravity field between planets to accelerate the spacecraft, or using some kind of transmission device similar to a star gate. In short, there must be something in this star field that we have not yet discovered. Discover the secret."

These words caused the two people on the side to fall into silence and began to think about whether there was any news that had been missed recently.

In the slightly crowded room, the only sound left was the sobs coming from the throat of the Anglican priest. The connection with the dying machine soul just now caused him to experience unimaginable pain, which made his spirit almost... Honkai has temporarily lost his perception of the outside world.

In Gabriel's view, it is almost impossible for any creature to be able to endure this kind of pain that goes beyond the limits of the body and touches the depths of the soul. From this point of view alone, it seems that it can be regarded as an extremely successful torture tool.

But this also made him start to doubt in his heart. Are the nobles of the knight family piloting mechas to fight in such pain every day?

If that's the case, they're really a bunch of lunatics.

After a brief discussion, in order to clarify the true purpose of these pointy-eared monkeys, while strengthening the security in the star area and sending out legions to blockade, a long and wide-ranging interrogation was also started simultaneously.

All those who had previously participated in the riots, as well as those suspected of being involved in the daily covert surveillance, had without exception been rigorously interrogated by the clones and local naturalized people. As for those who refused to cooperate, they were naturally invited. Got on the [Honest Seat] modified by Gabriel.

However, even so, the information obtained in the end was extremely limited. Judging from some existing intelligence, those Eldar are more cunning than imagined. Relying on some special concealment ability, they often appear in those newly put into operation. Or near a cluster of buildings undergoing renovations.

While conducting secret observations, he also cautiously cooperated with those who were dissatisfied with the alliance, secretly provided them with weapons, and created chaos one after another.

And as time goes by, the frequency and even the location of similar events are also increasing. It can be seen that the number of those spirit races is increasing, emerging from various planets one after another as if there is mitosis.

These phenomena are enough to prove that Gabriel's guess is correct.

As the situation was becoming more and more serious, Michael finally plucked up the courage after some hesitation and chose to report the matter to Otto who was far away in Haven.

With ten ships equipped with communication nodes, a special type of destroyer named [Unicom] by Otto crossed the area disturbed by the subspace storm to establish a communication connection between the star fields. But not long after, the first message came from the communicator. It was actually Gray Feng's voice.

Then, after explaining his intention, Otto's slightly tired voice came out. The two people seemed to be staying together at the moment, and after listening to Michael's account of what Hedwin had suffered recently, After the harassment, the other party seemed to be unexpectedly interested in this matter.

Under Otto's advice and instructions, two items stored in the Gray Goo battleship were transported from Haven, and several clone soldiers handed the two items into Michael's hands.

One of them was a collection that Otto called the "Ancestral Shield". It was an extremely gorgeous and exquisitely crafted shield, embellished with a large number of clear gems inlaid on it.

Michael recognized those things. These red gems were the ornaments called [Soul Stones] that the warriors of the Spirit Tribe often wore on their chests.

At first, Michael didn't understand what these were used for, and he was curious when he opened the box of the second collection.

In the container, the severed head of a spirit tribe woman suddenly appeared in front of her.

But what Michael didn't understand was, could these things really make those elusive guys show up on their own initiative, as his father said?
