"Master Viderian."
Soshiyan said and paused again to order, took two steps to consider his words.
"I really can't ask the members to do anything. I hope you can understand it. And... the whereabouts of the Spirit Clan are erratic. How long do you think this operation will take and how many troops can be completed?"
"Considering the size of this ark world, I'm afraid... at least three battle groups need to cooperate with our dozens of killing teams. Moreover, since the killing teams need to gather, the battle groups need to drag them first and delay their escape, so it may take about five battle groups to force them, plus a certain number of astral army and fleets, well... Considering that the speed and mobility of the aliens are indeed very strong, it needs to be encircled on all sides, which is estimated to take half a year to a year."
Upon hearing this request, Soshiyan finally knew why the other party found him. They also knew that Beyetan was a giant, and if he wanted to swallow it in one bite, he would choke to death. So he planned to join the Alliance of Suffering and share the risks.
The alliance even had to attract the firepower of the Spirit Ark first and give them time to gather troops...
"What if it is lost if it gathers so many troops and so many fleets?"
"The court has some confidence."
"We don't talk about the probability, we only talk about the result, what should we do if we lose it? And for a year, ascetics, flesh-torners, and crying people, are important forces that are now stable in the Storm Star Domain. IMHO, you may have been in the Taiping Star Domain for too long. I don't know the current situation in the Storm Star Domain. Gene Stealer activities have increased by 19 times compared to ten years ago. Many worlds and nests have been poisoned, but we hardly saw any death watch in activity. We can only be like us "non-professionals" running around. Now we suddenly withdraw and have to leave for a year or even two years. Have you ever considered... Will the situation in other worlds deteriorate sharply?"
Although Soshiyan's words were very gentle, they had a little accusation inside, which made Vidrian's eyes narrow slightly.
"The empire is always full of threats, but we need to have the ability to distinguish the size of the threat. How can those scattered gene stealers compare to Beyetan, an ark that carries a large number of spiritual races? Not to mention that the real target this time is a potential challenger of imperial hegemony."
"There is nothing to challenge the hegemony of the empire. You are too alarmist. Besides, gene thieves are never a small threat. These aliens that are parasitic in human genes... won't you feel creepy? Or is the gene thief's magpie's nest, and in your opinion, there is no serious spiritual race that wanders everywhere?"
Maybe because he felt that his tone was too hard, Soshiyang lowered his voice a little.
"Actually, I am very willing to help you with your plan, but now the battle group is carrying out missions elsewhere. There are only so many people around me. I am afraid I can't help you. I can't make the decision on other battle groups. You can ask them in person."
Seeing that Soshiyan was this attitude, Viderian knew that there was no chance. He actually didn't have much confidence to convince other commanders to implement this plan. The reason why he chose Soshiyan was to use the power of this leader and the empire hero to drive the entire Alliance of Suffering. Now that the other party has expressed his support, the attitude of others can be imagined.
"I see."
Viderian is not the kind of person who is pestering and beating. Since the other party has expressed his attitude, there is nothing to say.
"Then at least, please give us the necessary human support and reiterate the watchful oath of the Knights of the Astral Realm."
Soshyang frowned. He had been asked more than once about this matter. The company commander of the Death Watch, who supported the Great Vortex Expedition, once asked him whether he could provide manpower support, because the Knights of the Astral Realm had also initiated the Watch Oath in the past.
The so-called Watching Oath is to provide troops for the Watching Death. Each regiment has a different number of people, but it will provide some people to a greater or lesser extent.
The Astral Knight had never reiterated the Watch Oath many years before the World Engine incident. Soshiyan was not sure whether this was intentional, but now the other party suddenly mentioned it, he really couldn't react for a while.
A few seconds later, he said slowly:
"You also know that the battle group has been rebuilt for less than a hundred years, and almost all the soldiers are recruits. Although they have fought some battles, their targets are basically traitors of Chaos. They have only fought against Green Skin in Hamigidon. To be ashamed, the Astral Knights are still very unfamiliar with the tactics of fighting aliens. When the soldiers are tempered and improved their experience in fighting aliens, I will select the right person to go to the Watchtower to report. What do you think?"
Viderian didn't say anything, but his eyes expressed his dissatisfaction. Although Soshiyan was justified, he was undoubtedly suspicious of shirkness.
Thinking that it was really not easy for the other party to return empty-handed, Soshiyang thought for a moment and said softly:
"Let's do this, I'm also very concerned about the cause of Death Watch. I happened to get some equipment supplements during the Great Vortex Expedition. The Knight of the Star Realm donated 5 Rand Speed ​​Attack Boats and 2 Thunder Eagles to the Watcher Fortress. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Viderian's tense face finally slowed down a little, and he nodded:
"Thank you for your generous donation, then I won't bother you, but I still hope that you can pay enough attention to the threat of the Spirit race, otherwise we may all regret it in the future."
"I will."
When Vidrian turned and left, Soshiyang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After all, things did not go to the worst, and it seemed that it was still covered up for the time being.
But what about the future?
The court has set its sights on it. They have patience and will always dig out something.
And he seemed to have no choice. It would definitely not work by killing people. Instead, it would attract more attention. The only way was to attract the attention of the Inquisition Court to the Death Army...
Considering that Everenie is moving around the Eye of Fear, maybe she can do something here.
After persuading Soshyan to no avail, Vidrian ran to the Ascetics to lobby again, and finally earned two veterans to watch the fortress, then lobbyed at the meat-torners, and got a man, which reminded Soshyan of the tithe collectors of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Fortunately, the White Temple had left, Viderian rushed in the air, and the other party's nominal parent star was in the Sun Star Domain, which was not under his jurisdiction, so he was spared. Other battle groups in the Storm Star Domain, including the Mantis Warrior, were pulled away, and at least one person was found.
During this period, Soshiyang was worried that the other party would carry a device that could detect "alien energy" and did not dare to have any contact with the royal court. It was not until Vidrien pulled a circle of people and left with satisfaction that he immediately contacted the royal court and asked the other party to pass the message to Beyetan and asked them to change their movement route. The Inquisition had already set his sights on the ark and quickly left the Storm Star Domain.
Chapter completed!
