Hammer 40k: Far East Storm

Chapter 36 The Wind Rises

So Hilsa clearly told everything she knew. In the near future, the Tribunal is preparing to conduct a large-scale operation in the Far East. A mixed company composed of one presiding judge, twelve inquisitors, sixty-eight inquisitors, and their retinues, plus two regiments of battle sisters, will be dispatched to the Far East.

Perhaps because of the relative peace within the empire recently, the Tribunal finally has some remaining strength, and the leaders above will naturally not let the idle girls do nothing.

So the higher-ups decided to bring the Far East into the control of the trial.

Of course, this is only a long-term goal. There is no doubt that in a long, long time, the Far East will be firmly in the hands of the emperor, but now it can only do some initial work such as exploration, pioneering, and construction.

The first is to establish three core monasteries in the Far East. These three monasteries will become the Far East base of the Tribunal. In the future, the activities of the Tribunal in the Far East will gradually revolve around these three monasteries.

After learning the news, Elizabeth no longer felt like reminiscing. After asking Hilsa's residence, the two hurriedly said goodbye. Elizabeth rushed back to the court to verify the authenticity of the information.

"Yes, there is indeed this operation, and you are also involved. The detailed information and related documents have been sent to you? What? Didn't you receive a notice?" Elizabeth's immediate superior, the presiding judge Randall Jonde, confirmed The authenticity of the news is unknown. Randall has a round face and a cheerful light in his eyes. He looks like a carefree and harmless middle-aged fat man, but everyone who knows him knows this. This guy is so scary. Randall frowned and complained angrily, "Really, it's been three days since the official news was sent out, and you haven't received the news yet. What are those bureaucrats doing?" By the way, there is another surprise for you in this mission.”

"I know, my old friend Hilsa, I saw her today, and I got the news from her." Elizabeth said, "But I still don't understand. This mission gives me a very strange feeling. If It’s just construction, why do we need to send so many judges and the accompanying combat team is too small?”

"Of course it's not just as simple as establishing a stronghold. If you just want to establish a stronghold, then just ask the Mechanicus." Randall said seriously: "Our Tribunal wants to launch a war in the Far East. Of course, it is not a large-scale war. The battle is a secret war.”

"A secret war? I don't quite understand. With whom?"

"A year ago, an inquisitor was killed in the Far East. The body was cut into pieces of meat. It must have been more than a hundred pieces. It was very miserable. The Far East responded quickly, but the inquisitors who followed to investigate also followed suit. As a result, fourteen Inquisitors died in the Far East within a year. The Inquisition has completely lost control of the Far East, especially the edge star region of the empire. "This operation is to reverse this situation." Doyle lit a cigarette for himself and took a long puff before continuing: "The enemy is the Eldar, the Star Walkers of Alaitok. To put it romantically, they are the rangers wandering in the starry sky, most of them They are lone rangers, sensitive, cunning, and good at hiding. The army is almost useless to them. Our task is to go to the Far East, find them, capture them, and torture them.”

The cold and ruthless galaxy is filled with all kinds of dangerous alien creatures, and the Eldar are one of the many terrifying alien creatures.

"Do all Eldar rangers act alone?"

"Who knows, we can only talk about this kind of thing after we go there. We don't know much about the Eldar now. We hope that this operation will let us know more about these 'friends'."

Of course they won't be true friends. The relationship between the Eldar and the Empire is very subtle. Sometimes, such as when facing demons from Chaos or the Orc army, the Eldar can be friends of humans. The warriors on both sides are very likely to Fight side by side with the enemy in front of you. But the two parties are not true friends, because battles between humans and the Eldar often occur.

For humans, the Eldar are still a race full of mystery. From the appearance point of view, there is not much difference between humans and Eldar. If it is just a simple glance, then the appearance of Eldar is very similar to humans, but if you look closely, you can find many differences. Their limbs are more slender and dexterous, they have elegant faces, and their eyes are tall and sharp. Their ears are pointed and their skin is fine, white and flawless. However, the most fundamental difference is that the movements of the Eldar people feel inhumanly graceful. Their precision and flexibility in fighting, and their extraordinary agility in wielding weapons, make this feeling particularly obvious.

Generally speaking, the Eldar look like the elves living in the jungle in ancient fantasy novels, except that these "elves" today are not the vegetarian and peaceful lovers in fantasy novels. They are cunning and changeable. , brutal, insincere, and elusive.

If possible, the Empire would be happy to completely wipe out the Eldar from the galaxy. Humanity should be the ruler of the galaxy, so the Empire does not need an alien race as a friend, especially a completely unreliable friend like the Eldar. Ideally, these Eldar would be slaves in the mines or specimens in museums. But in fact, the empire has no good solution to the Eldar, because most of the Eldar do not live on the planet, they live in a world called the Ark.

It is an obvious fact that the Eldar people have never concealed. The so-called Ark World is a huge ship. And this ship is far away from any stars in the universe, floating alone in the dark depths of the universe. There is no light from any star to light up their smooth towers. Far removed from the warmth of stars and planets, their domes gaze into the endless darkness of empty space. Under this situation, humans cannot launch an effective attack on the Eldar at all, because the universe is too big. Finding the Eldar's ark in the vast darkness is several times more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack. Ten thousand times, even the gods could not find the location of the Eldar Ark.

"Then where is my position?"

"It's really troublesome. Can't you go back to the station and wait? There are formal appointments." Randall looked at Elizabeth, who looked serious, and sighed helplessly: "How can I have subordinates like you? Okay, let me explain it clearly to you. Look, it’s roughly here.” With that said, Randall took out a star map and pointed upward irresponsibly, “Here, this is it.”

"Here, where is this?" Elizabeth was stunned: "And it's such a casual star map. It's like a child's graffiti. This is so irresponsible."

"There is no way. This is in the Far East, which is beyond the reach of the emperor's will. It is outside the boundaries of the empire in the true sense. The star map is indeed a bit old, so drawing an accurate star map is also one of your tasks this time. Three actions The stronghold's monastery is naturally built under the light of the Star Moment Tower, but your mission is to serve as a sentinel, following the new lord deeper into the empire's borders. It seems to be surnamed Li. What's your name? Anyway? It’s not an important person, you should have seen this person, it’s the guy you reviewed not long ago.”

"That's it." Elizabeth laughed. This was the emperor's will. Evil could not escape the divine judgment in the end.

"To be precise, that Li is the 'lighthouse'. His position is very important. He will form a Star Wars group. He is also the lord of three galaxies. He should be able to deal with enemies that are too weak by himself. Facing powerful ones, The enemy can also make appropriate struggles, so you only need to bring your followers with him. You don't need to be too close, nor too far, nor do you need to do anything deliberately. You are the 'eye', Just watch. Of course, it seems that he is still too weak to be a beacon, so you must help him become stronger as soon as possible. Don't be too stingy, the Inquisition will pay for you."

"You want me to help him?" Elizabeth's big eyes were full of disbelief: "To help a Star Wars group? Even as a 'lighthouse', you don't need to do this, right?"

"If you just serve as a 'lighthouse', naturally you don't need to go to this point. But there are deeper considerations on this matter, but you don't need to know these. Help him when appropriate, don't do anything It's too obvious, and then look at him. That's enough." Randall added: "The old rule is to retreat quickly when you encounter someone you can't deal with. First, protect the information, and then protect yourself. Already?"

"I see!"

"Okay then, go back and get ready."
