The Protoss in Warhammer

Chapter 76 71. Suffering at the border

After waiting on the track for more than two hours, the two anxious waiters finally came to meet them.

But what surprised them was that it was not the Ancient Sage who came, but his deputy.

A lazy man with long green hair appeared in front of them. The wrinkles could be seen in the white experimental robe he was wearing. Netate looked at the two people in front of him and nodded.

"You two, the Ancient Sage is busy right now and doesn't have time to summon you, so he asked me to deliver the message. If you have anything you want to say, you can tell me."

After hearing this, Yuan Yuan's eyes flashed with a trace of subtle disappointment, but he soon realized it. After all, the elder's time is precious and he has a lot to do. He definitely doesn't have that much time to answer his slight question. Uncheckable issues.

"That's it, our teacher Qingxi told us one thing when he passed away, his last words.

My destiny has already been written in a long scroll, and like a burning star, it will be completely extinguished soon, but only in this way can I risk my life and live.

If you want to rise from the ashes like the legendary dragon, you must go to the battlefield to gain new life. "

After Netat frowned and turned around to listen to Yuan Yuan's words, he asked:

"So you want to join the next battle?"

"Yes, sir."

"Okay, I'll tell him later."

Netate's eyes suddenly turned gold, then quickly changed back to their original color. Netat scratched his emerald-like hair and replied

"Yes, Gray has agreed, but he has a request. You can only go alone. Your battleships and fleets cannot take me there. They must guard the battle zone to prevent the Dark Eldar pirates from attacking again."

Yingyang next to him heard this and took a step forward involuntarily, saying excitedly

"Then I also request to fight with my senior brother. Only with enough firewood can the flames burn more vigorously."

Netate shook his head and replied

"I'm sorry, Commander, this is an order from the Ancient Sage."

After hearing these words, Yingyang could only give up. After seeing her calm down, Netat said

"Executor Farsight, please bring your armor and personal belongings. We will be waiting for you on the Sacred Blade."

After the two of them left, Netat said helplessly to Gray.

"By the way, are you sure he is suitable?"

Gray, who was having talks on the surface of the planet, laughed in his mind and said

"Don't worry, he is suitable."

After hearing this, the former Iron Man also agreed with his words.

"A single tree cannot make a forest, but that's an interesting thing."

While the space dwarves and the protoss were discussing how to fight against humanity's second Damocles Gulf expedition, there was no longer peace on the edge planets of the human empire.

War costs money, and money needs to be taxed.

The continuous flames of war spread throughout the galaxy, and at the same time, the Ministry of Interior's need for money for the war continued to increase. The tithe also set off one wave of financial crises on the edge of the Extreme Star Territory.

What the financial crisis caused was the decline in civilian living standards. Although the average living standard in Warhammer 40k is well known to everyone, when an energy bar can be sold for more than 200 imperial coins, something is really going to happen.

"Protest! We want food!"

In a hive on an edge planet, a large number of parades shouted slogans angrily and moved toward higher levels. The private soldiers and armed forces of the upper class nobles worked hard to block them so that these guys would not really break through and enter the upper nest.

A baron led his men and stood on the inner wall. He impatiently wiped the sweat from his head and said angrily.

"What have the PDFs done? Why not just shoot them and kill them?"

Another gentleman next to him sighed after hearing this, pointed at the crowd in front of him and said

"No, the PDF you want is there."

The baron was looking forward with his finger, and was shocked to see a group of soldiers wearing dark green bulletproof armor, shouting slogans, raising the banners in their hands and roaring loudly. This moment frightened the baron out of his wits.

"What happened? Why did the army mutiny?"

He even lowered his voice several points, not daring to be as arrogant as before. The gentleman next to him looked worriedly at the angry crowd below and said

"It's been really tight lately. The money from above is getting more and more, and we can't even pay wages and military pay."

"Ah? Are you kidding me? These idiots must be rebelling!"

The baron next to him was completely dumbfounded when he heard it. When the gentleman heard it, he sighed in pain and said with a sad face.

"By the way, how many days have you gone without eating Gro beast meat?"

"Well, on Sunday the day before yesterday, I ate a steak, and then last week I seemed to have been eating vegetarian food or even synthetic food."

"Do you think that even if we start eating this kind of food, the people down there will still have food to eat?"

When the baron heard this, he slapped the city wall in front of him angrily and said with a bitter look on his face.

"Then the Governor needs to think of a way. If this continues, we won't be able to afford food."

“But if we can’t pay the tithe, we will lose our lives!”

The baron next to him thought hard for a while and suddenly thought of a better idea.

"Perhaps the Governor can refer to the planet next door..."

On another planet dozens of light years away from this world, there is no unrest here, because the local governor has found a better way.

"Come, come, join the expeditionary mercenary corps! Food is provided every day, and all the property looted in the alien territory can belong to you!"

In the huge church, the state church priests and local officials mobilized the hungry and cold people to join the mercenary corps. In this way, not only can social pressure be greatly relieved, but human resources can also be used as taxes for payment. This is really a best of both worlds idea.

For those living at the bottom, especially the civilians in the lower nest, joining the mercenary corps may be one of the few ways to leave hell, and they believe in the propaganda of those officials that the land they are going to conquer is rich and full of gold treasures, and they are occupied by a group of uncivilized barbaric aliens.

Why do those uncivilized savages occupy such fertile and beautiful land? They should be wiped out from this world, and these lands should belong to their noble and pure ones!

In just one week, they have recruited nearly 400,000 troops and sent them to the orbital platform.

Although the eastern border of the entire Ultramarine has become chaotic due to the preparations for this expedition, it is precisely because of this that the expedition must begin.

For the Empire, this war is already imminent and must be won. If it fails, the entire eastern border will face a great disaster.

The second Damocles Gulf expedition is about to begin.
