The Emperor’s Angel of Death

Seeing the Kingdom of Lilar's Loss suffer so many losses of young adults, Sochoyan therefore made a suggestion - the royal court often has barbaric clans whose homes have been destroyed come to seek refuge, and most of them are young men and women. If the Kingdom of Lilar's Loss is willing to accept them, the royal court can find ways to organize them to come and settle down.

King Sengupta accepted Sochoyan's proposal, and representatives of other clans also expressed their approval.

Just as the two sides were discussing the details, an urgent intelligence was transmitted to Sochoyan through the prophets.

"Star Marshal Giulio Pula has completely annihilated the enemy's main fleet and is on its way back!"

Upon receiving this news, the Eldar in the hall, especially the residents of the Kingdom of Lilar's Loss, cheered.

"Revenge! Revenge!"

No one wanted to see more T'au die more than they did. At this moment, Ivan suddenly stepped forward, knelt on one knee before Sochoyan's throne, and lowered his head.

"Your Highness, please allow me to follow you to destroy these blue-skinned mongrels!"

Obviously, he thought that after annihilating the enemy's main fleet, the royal court would then retaliate against the enemy's world.

But Sochoyan did not respond immediately, but said slowly:

"Prince Ivan, please rise."

Ivan didn't know what Sochoyan meant, so he could only stand up. Then, the other party asked again:

"Prince Ivan, how much do you know about the T'au and their country?"

Ivan thought for a while and shook his head.

"I don't understand, Your Highness."

Sochoyan raised his hand, and a golden ball rose, projecting a huge star map.

"The T'au who attacked the Kingdom of Lilar's Loss are from a T'au Sept world called Ke'lshan, and it is only a small part of the T'au domain. Even so, it has more than a dozen colonial worlds. Prince Ivan, you are the future leader of the kingdom. What is most important to you?"

Ivan was silent for a moment and said softly:

"My people, my home."

"Well, then I believe you should be able to make a judgment. After all, you can't abandon your home, can you?"

Ivan was speechless. Sochoyan put his palms together, and the image of the golden ball disappeared.

"The T'au have already paid the price for their actions, but it doesn't end there. The Kingdom of Lilar's Loss will be compensated."

Afterwards, Sochoyan privately chatted with King Sengupta. This king did not have a strong desire for revenge. As a leader who ruled a kingdom of more than nine hundred light arcs and led the royal court through multiple Ork and Tyranid invasions, he had mature and rational thoughts. He knew that the living were always more important than the dead, and it was meaningless to shed too much blood for revenge. The royal court would not really spare everything for a barbaric kingdom, and the people of the royal court would not agree to that. He agreed with Sochoyan's idea of stopping when things were good, and said that he would persuade others.

With the support of this king, Sochoyan's subsequent negotiations were not hindered.

However, when the Tears of Heaven fleet returned to the Kingdom of Lilar's Loss, they brought a group of special guests.

Those were several strange, spindle-shaped ships that looked like giant white cocoons, with metal shells of unknown material, and some extended spikes that were probably some kind of energy weapon.

Soon, Giulio came to the ground and reported the battle situation to Sochoyan in detail.

The main fleet of the Ke'lshan Sept was caught off guard due to its haste and the inconsistent performance of its ships. The Tears of Heaven fleet seized the opportunity to concentrate its firepower and prioritize the destruction of their main formation. All the Vigilator-class carriers were sunk. Afterwards, they used their mobility advantage to continuously transfer and conduct three consecutive battles, completely eliminating this fleet. At this time, the Ke'lshan Sept can be said to have no fleet power of any scale.

However, this battle unexpectedly attracted another group of wanderers.

They call themselves the Arakken, and originally lived in a star system called the "Veil", which is located on the west side of the current T'au Empire, next to the famous Damocles Gulf. In the 40th millennium, the T'au Empire's exploration fleet discovered the star system and the Arakken, who had developed space航行 technology, and then sent representatives of the Water Caste to persuade the Arakken to join the Greater Good.

However, at that time, the T'au Empire had considerable strength after long-term expansion, and their "persuasion" was not as gentle as in the past. The Arakken had their own spiritual world. They believed that all things in the universe were composed of souls and non-souls, and that souls included two categories: active and immobile. The combination of soul and body was arbitrary, without cause, and self-determined, so they emphasized personal cultivation and meditation.

This worldview, which emphasized individual spiritual independence, was obviously incompatible with the Greater Good. After being rejected, the Water Caste ambassadors immediately summoned the nearby T'au fleet that was already on standby.

What followed was a cruel and protracted war, which the T'au called the Veil War, and the Arakken called the War of Souls, one fighting for control of the region, and the other fighting to defend their home and spirit.

The Arakken's technology is concentrated on the combination of micro-organisms and machinery. They can create many small semi-biological machines to serve them, including construction and combat. For example, their cocoon ships are a unique metal drawing technology combined with micro-organism groups called "Golden Silkworms" to "weave" them. The cities they live in are also designed in the form of mazes, which makes street fighting with them extremely difficult. At the same time, they also have a combat organism group called "Swift Locusts", which can drill into the enemy's machines, vehicles or armor from the smallest cracks, and devour the enemy from the inside out.

However, even with such power, the Arakken, who occasionally won small victories, fell into a disadvantage in the face of the T'au, who had overwhelming national power. Later, when entering the ground war stage, the Arakken's Trinity Council was assassinated by a young Fire Caste commander named Farsight. The leaderless Arakken were eventually driven out of their homes forever, wandering on the edge of the T'au Empire, looking for opportunities to continue their race.

Of course, that also included the opportunity to take revenge on the T'au Empire.

But with the T'au's prosperity, their days became more and more difficult. The dozens of home ships that once existed became fewer and fewer under the continuous pursuit of the T'au Empire and its affiliated races. Once they had settlement plans, they would be attacked by the T'au Empire's forces at the first time and could only keep transferring, all the way from the west side of the T'au Empire to the east side, near the Silent Zone. But not only were there frequent Ork activities here, but the threat of the Tyranid was also long-term.

The Arakken only had seven home ships left, with less than two million people. Any accident could destroy this race.

However, they have never given up their hatred for the T'au. Recently, they heard that the Ke'lshan Sept had launched another war, so they wanted to see if there were any opportunities. As a result, they ran into the Tears of Heaven fleet, which completely annihilated the T'au main fleet that they thought was incredibly powerful, and immediately realized that they had encountered a civilization like a god.
