The Emperor’s Angel of Death

Hearing that the other party wanted to use this Nether Lantern Butterfly as his flagship, Soshjan smiled and shook his head, saying:

"It would be a waste to give it to me, and besides, it is, after all, a legacy of the Corso Fleet, a precious treasure that your ancestors desperately rescued from the Great Fall and the Ork Waaagh! It is only reasonable to have it as your flagship."

"Your Highness, I am more accustomed to the Corso Flame, and..."

Salannia raised her head, gazing at the towering Kane statue facing the bridge high above the observation window, its body with arms outstretched, and whispered:

"Have you not noticed? This is Tar-Ires's expectation, he is a follower of Kane, and on you..."

Only then did Soshjan notice that there seemed to be a constant whisper in his ear—

Sarah, Mannin, Kane

Sarah, Mannin, Kane

Sarah, Mannin, Kane

Then he followed Salannia's gaze and took a surprised step back.

"This—"

The statue, which should have been Kane, had somehow transformed into his likeness, and then he looked around and found that they were all like this. To be honest, it was a bit embarrassing.

"Why is this happening?"

Carnelli covered her mouth and chuckled, then said softly:

"Your Highness, it is naturally because the will of war greatly recognizes you, and regards you as the incarnation of Kane."

"But frankly speaking, I don't like it very much. Only fools like Viktor like to erect statues of themselves everywhere. Can it be canceled?"

"As long as it is your will, it will be done."

Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, the statues all turned back into Kane.

Seeing this, Soshjan accepted Salannia's suggestion, and Tar-Ires became his personal flagship from then on.

"What is this technology that creates an independent space inside a star?"

Besides the Nether Lantern Butterfly, the second thing that interested Soshjan was not the warship, but the space that housed the warship. Salannia thought for a while, and then replied in a somewhat uncertain tone:

"Actually, by the time it got to me, the deeds of our ancestors had become very vague. Although our lives are very long, in the thousand years after the Great Fall, the galaxy was fraught with crises and wars. Most of our ancestors fell in battle, and many things were not explained or passed down. I only heard my father mention that our ancestors may have used some technology similar to hypercubes."

"Hypercubes..."

Soshjan looked at Carnelli.

"The Necrons seem to have similar technology, but they are based on the power of dimensions, while the Aeldari use psychic power? Oh, right, I remember now, that big snake, didn't it steal one of these things from Viktor?"

Carnelli replied with a smile:

"Your Highness is right. Viktor originally had a treasure called the Pleasure Gardens, which was a spatial cube that superimposed different spatial levels into one space. Due to its internal absolute security, this pathetic slave loved to indulge in it with his concubines. Later, this thing was stolen by Slaeskhus, and afterwards, he often flaunted this trophy, inviting others to visit it."

"This technology has a lot of potential. If it can be replicated, wouldn't it be like being able to carry around... a super-large space? Hmm, perhaps I can have Master Callistus study it."

After talking for a while, Soshjan toured the other areas of his flagship. Overall, the internal structure was not much different from Tar-Anlec, the armaments might be less, after all, some of them had been taken out for use, and another thing was that there was actually a huge and luxurious public bathroom in the ship, which could automatically generate a large amount of hot water, and according to Salannia, it was a mixed bath for both men and women.

Soshjan hadn't paid much attention to these details before, but the Eldarnes Fleet seemed quite conservative, and he hadn't heard of such a thing on their ships.

It can only be said that the divisions and rifts in the Eldar culture had obviously spread throughout the society in the late Imperium. Extreme openness and extreme conservatism were both forming and brewing. The Corso Fleet probably didn't find Commorragh due to the warp storms, otherwise they might have gone there. In the end, they only formed a pirate group that "approached" Commorragh.

After lingering for a while, this dormant Corso Fleet finally left their slumbering place and returned to the starry sea they were originally familiar with.

At the same time as the fleet returned, it also declared the complete withdrawal of the Void Dragon Pirate Band from the stage of history. After ten thousand years of struggle and turbulence, this ancient Eldar pirate group finally returned to its original identity, even though the galaxy had long been unrecognizable.

Of course, this does not mean giving up the Dragon's Nest. In fact, the location of the Dragon's Nest is very good, located at the intersection of the Storm, Pacific, and Solar regions. The surrounding environment is treacherous, the location is hidden, and the Dragon's Nest can actually be moved. It has a dozen or so commonly used residences and can avoid prying eyes at any time. As a military port of the ancient empire, it is also a solid and powerful fortress with great strategic value.

So the first thing to do is to arrange the repair of the damaged parts of the Dragon's Nest, and even strengthen it, adding more weapons. Of course, the Royal Court will also deploy personnel and institutions here, such as the Golden Feather Guard, etc. Salannia has no objection to this.

After everything was arranged, Soshjan had one last question to deal with—the prisoners.

This mainly refers to the prisoners of the Black Heart Cabal.

Soshjan had previously promised the Void Dragon Pirate Band that he would make a disposition that would satisfy them. The Royal Court had also captured members of the Black Heart Cabal before. Some were absorbed, and some went to undergo the "Trial of True Fire," but this time, there were really a lot of Commorragh Eldar captured. There were three to four thousand in the Dragon's Nest alone, and those on the ships, and those who were thrown into the void after the shipwrecks, added up to a total of 40,000. The last time the Black Heart Cabal attacked the Royal Court and failed, they only captured more than 10,000 people.

According to Madail, the Holy Fire Shrine currently has limited carrying capacity and cannot carry out the Trial of True Fire for so many people at once. At most, another batch can be converted, and Soshjan would need to invest enough power to create a burden, which is not cost-effective, and it is difficult to avoid some public opinion if so many people are "burned" at once.

In other words, at most another 10,000 or so Cabal warriors can be "burned" to forge the Phoenix Guard, and the rest must be dealt with.

Killing them was definitely not an option. After thinking about it, Carnelli, who was pouring him tea, came up with an idea.

Exile!

There are some maiden worlds in the galaxy that have lost their inhabitants for various reasons, but the world spirit is still there, and they have become uninhabited maiden worlds.

In this case, they can be used to send those Cabal warriors to "reclaim the land," giving them only simple tools and supplies, forcing them to return to the primitive and simple life of their ancestors, turning from Dark Eldar into barbaric Eldar. On the one hand, it can properly handle more future prisoners, and on the other hand, it can be regarded as indirectly increasing the population of the Royal Court—these people are not slaves or prisoners, in fact, they also have the citizenship of the Royal Court, but they are not allowed to leave their homes for a certain period of time.

Moreover, a hard life can not only wean them off their "addiction," but also prevent them from losing their fighting spirit. Now the Royal Court also has a problem, that is, there are many civilians, but not many people are willing to join the army. The Ark can choose to be semi-forced (in fact, many Ark militias are conscripted), but the Royal Court emphasized when it was established that it would not carry out general mobilization unless in an emergency, and many Ark immigrants are also accustomed to a comfortable environment and are very resistant to violence and bloodshed. In this case, the mobilization rate of the Royal Court has always been very poor, and these Cabal warriors, after being reformed, are very good sources of soldiers.

This plan made Soshjan almost clap his hands and applaud. Then he announced this decision, and the pirates accepted it, and even praised Soshjan's fairness and trustworthiness—after all, in their opinion, throwing those guys who are used to torture and enjoyment into a primitive environment and forcing them to live a primitive life is a more terrible torture than death.

A very small number of pirates even felt that this was too cruel, and it would be better to kill them than to torture them like this.

Soshjan immediately began to select a world, and soon found an abandoned maiden world located on the edge of the Storm region, hundreds of light-years away from the Dragon's Nest. It was called Ninggutar, so he took a fancy to it at first glance. Then tens of thousands of Commorragh prisoners were escorted to Ninggutar to begin their transformation journey.
