The Emperor’s Angel of Death

As soon as SoshJan said this, An'ke immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Installments would be easy to handle. They could completely trade their old weapons to the other party and let the warriors use the new weapons.

But the other party's sudden "concession" made him a little suspicious.

"Do you have any additional requirements?"

"No, but I'm just curious about one thing, how are you going to convince your Supreme Ethereal Council?"

"It seems that Prince Phoenix has some understanding of us. I will personally go to T'au to explain to the Supreme Council."

"What if they deny it?"

"I think your Highness's fleet will naturally go to T'au to question them, won't it?"

SoshJan laughed a few times, then raised his hands and clapped three times gently.

A white light flashed under the steps to the right of the throne, and Shou'An, looking dazed, appeared. When he saw An'ke, he immediately shuddered and shouted:

"Mentor Minghai!! You, how are you—"

An'ke was also stunned when he saw Shou'An, and then stretched out his hand in surprise.

"Shou'An, you're still alive! That's great!"

Shou'An quickly trotted over and took off his hat, bowing deeply to the other party.

"Mentor Minghai, it's great that you're safe and sound."

"Shou'An, you're okay, that's great, that's great."

An'ke touched Shou'An's head and let out a satisfied sigh. Although he had always been very calm in the Ethereal Council, he also had someone he cared about, and that was Shou'An.

This Earth Caste genius could be said to have been discovered and guided by him. When he was still a Pathfinder in the Academy of Sciences, he noticed the young Shou'An. At that time, he was just a rash young man who was slightly different from other stable Earth Caste members, but An'ke noticed the spark of wisdom that was unknown to others. It was a restless spark, but it was extremely dazzling. So when Shou'An was rejected by his superiors and colleagues for various strange theories, he constantly comforted him, guided him, and directed his potential to the field he was best at, making him more invested, more focused, and bolder in his research—in fact, An'ke never suppressed Shou'An's nature. Instead, he encouraged the other party to make bold assumptions, as long as he carefully verified them afterwards.

And when the Fire Caste chose scientists to go to T'au to participate in the top-secret heavy combat suit research, he also overruled all opinions and strongly recommended Shou'An, who was still young at the time.

The relationship between the two can be said to be both mentor and apprentice, and father and son.

In fact, if the negotiation went smoothly, An'ke would ask SoshJan if he had found a scientist named Shou'An. In fact, he had already prepared for the worst, but even if the other party was really dead, he would personally bring back Shou'An's body.

Just a few seconds after being happy, Shou'An's emotions suddenly fell.

"Mentor, so many people are dead... Except for the Earth Caste and some Water Caste people, all the expeditionary forces have been sacrificed..."

An'ke sighed helplessly and patted the other party on the shoulder.

"This is our fault, you don't need to blame yourself."

Then he looked at SoshJan and bowed deeply for the first time.

"Thank you, Prince Phoenix, for sparing Shou'An and other Earth Caste and Water Caste personnel."

"Shou'An is an interesting scientist. He gave me a new understanding of the T'au. Now I will return him and those people to you, and I hope you can remember this treaty."

With that said, SoshJan waved his hand, and the mech-servitor took the scroll to the side and threw it into a light ring. A dozen seconds later, a new scroll floated out of the light ring.

"Take a look again, and see if there are any objections."

When An'ke opened the scroll, Shou'An glanced at it curiously, and then his mouth opened in surprise.

"This—"

An'ke just scanned it carefully, then nodded.

"No objection."

"Then sign it, just use your finger."

An'ke stretched out his hand and wrote the Ke'shan Sept and his name in a marked location. Then the scroll flew back to SoshJan, he swiped lightly with his finger, and a string of Eldar words appeared on it, then he picked up an imprint from the tray held by the mech-servitor next to him and stamped it directly on it. A lifelike phoenix logo appeared on the scroll, and then he tore it gently, and two identical scrolls appeared, as if by magic.

"Mentor, that is... why..."

Faced with Shou'An's question, An'ke only replied.

"This is not something you should be concerned about. Go back and have a good rest for a while."

After he took a copy of the scroll, he said to SoshJan:

"Then I will go back and report."

"Yeah."

However, An'ke then thought of something, and turned back after he had already turned his head.

"Prince Phoenix, now that a peace treaty has been established, can we send a mission to the Eternal Court?"

"No need, my wife, the Eternal Queen, doesn't like the T'au. Just remember this lesson. However, the Court will establish a small outpost in the Kingdom of Lyra'Suth. If you have any diplomatic affairs, you can notify them first. After obtaining permission, the envoy can go to the outpost, where someone will receive them."

An'ke nodded, and then walked out of the hall with Shou'An, but Shou'An also seemed to think of something, and came back with a sentence.

"My computer and prototype."

SoshJan chuckled and said:

"Your personal belongings have already been sent to your transport plane. The three prototypes have also been put on the surface of the planet. After you go back, your people should tell you that they have found them."

"Uh, thank you."

After the two left, the steps one level below SoshJan's throne emitted a faint light, and then Dorar walked out of the light ring.

"Your Majesty is truly benevolent. Although I expected that Your Majesty would spare them, I did not expect such lenient conditions."

"Do you think this is mercy?"

"Then what does Your Majesty mean?"

"I just want to see how far a race that is not sensitive to the Warp can go... Perhaps, they can answer a question that has puzzled me for a long time."

SoshJan didn't know how An'ke would persuade the Ethereal Council, but the other party returned to the flagship in less than half a day and told him that the Ke'shan Sept would abide by the treaty, and that he would also represent the Sept to the Kingdom of Lyra'Suth to atone for his sins.

SoshJan didn't say anything about this, and directly let the fleet return to the Kingdom of Lyra'Suth.

When they returned, Veronica had already dealt with the affairs of the Court, moved to the Kingdom of Lyra'Suth, and comforted the residents who had lost their loved ones, and healed the knights who had been wounded and disabled by the battle, but what made Veronica the saddest were the orphans who had lost their parents. As her pregnancy time increased, her maternal instincts became stronger and stronger. She did not hesitate to use divine power and the Heart of Avalon to give blessings to the orphans and use divine power to smooth out the mental cracks caused by bereavement.
