Although the Parliament previously identified the four armed forces of the Royal Court, namely the Militia, the Queen's Guard, the Phoenix Army and the Hand of Isa, currently except for a small number of militia, the Queen's Guard and the Hand of Isa, there is only one real main body of the army, the Phoenix Army.
Empty shelf, and the reason is——
Doral didn't say it, but Soshyan knew it very well.
Even in order to maintain order, Doral had to fill his limited original team into the hands of Isa. On the one hand, he performed various special tasks, and on the other hand, he played a role similar to patrolling the royal court, monitoring and correcting various settlements.
Possible violations of the laws of the royal court, and arresting the offenders when necessary, also greatly diluted the armed forces at hand in Doral. He sent the 1,000 people on the expedition or he used his connections to pull people from various families.
Xila finally managed to organize it with the help of the Dark Death God and the Shrine of the Howling Banshee.
Soshiyang sighed when he heard this. He always thought that the Eternal Royal Court should already be very powerful. After all, it had added such powerful battleships, two black stone fortresses, and absorbed so many Aida and two arks.
The world...should have far surpassed all the Ada forces except Comoros.
But reality is not a simple number addition and subtraction game, especially when it comes to military politics. This may have been overlooked by both him and Veronica. The Ada Empire has been destroyed for more than 10,000 years, except for those who
Once an ancient existence, the vast majority of Ada now were born after the demise of the Ada Empire. They no longer have the concept of a country, and they will not have the consciousness of being a "citizen", even those prophets.
, they don’t know how to organize a real country, they just imitate the system of the ancient empire.
Of course, this is inseparable from the fact that the Phoenix King and the Eternal Queen have been offline for a long time. Normally, if the two couples are playing like this, the entire royal court should have fallen into a situation of endless internal fighting, but here we have to say that Doral is a game player.
The consul who has traveled to the Arkworld and Comoros, and endured humiliation and climbed from the bottom to the top of the Dark City, his political struggle and power skills really crush the group of Ark Eldar who are accustomed to clan life. On the other hand, there is eternity.
The Royal Court's essentially unified system of politics and religion, and even the integration of humans and gods, also prevents major troubles when the Lord is "offline". At least no one dares to deny Veronica's legitimacy for any reason.
But prestige alone cannot allow the people to form a large-scale army on their own...
In this case, considering the possibility of larger-scale wars in the future, Doral had to turn his attention to mercenaries. This was also a continuation of his flexible thinking as the consul of the Cabal.
For various purposes or special battlefield needs, the Dark Eldar conspiracy will be filled with various non-Eldar mercenaries, the most famous of which are the snakemen.
Speaking of snakemen, we have to mention the dozen or so that Doral brought out from Comoros. They were originally mercenaries of the Cabal. They seemed to have undergone some changes under the influence of Veronica, but Soshiyan
I didn’t know much about it, I just heard Veronica mention it occasionally.
So Doral's reason is very simple. If it is just defense, then the power on hand is indeed more than enough, but if you want to launch offensive actions, then the current situation does not support it at all, unless Soshyan can quickly rectify the royal court.
Armed force, but no matter how you look at it, it will take a lot of time, so the most convenient way is to use the power of mercenaries.
Soshyan accepted Doral's point of view. After all, he also hired short men during the Maelstrom Expedition, but he was curious about what mercenaries Doral hired? After all, Ada still despised other races. In addition,
How to pay these mercenaries?
So Doral took him to meet the mercenaries who were temporarily staying in the orbital facilities——
"This is..."
Soshiyang, who put on the Phoenix King's armor and mask, looked surprised when he looked at the large group of creatures in front of him.
They have a strong body, a huge, neckless, diamond-shaped head, a pair of black eyes on the head, gills on both sides of the back of the head, four webbed limbs and a long finned tail that is almost split.
A set of sharp teeth can be seen in the big mouth at the back of the head. They stand a little taller than a space warrior. They all wear indigo metal armor and have a water tank on their back similar to a power backpack. This water tank passes through a tube.
Attached to their gills, swords and bolter-like weapons hang from their waists.
But these are not the point. The point is -
They look so fishy!
In other words, it’s a fish with legs!
Still a shark!
Soshyan has seen a lot, but he has never seen a fish-man with legs and walking upright.
"Your Highness, this is the Sahadouin tribe. Their homeland was destroyed by the Empire's Space Wolves in the past. Although some worlds survived, they lacked survival resources, so they often used mercenaries in the galaxy.
They move around in exchange for all kinds of survival supplies for their distant homeland. Their individual weapons are comparable to those of the empire, but they are very united. The mercenaries who roam outside are called Pisces warriors. They are usually hired in units of one tail.
They are ten Pisces warriors."
After hearing Doral's introduction, Soshyan glanced over and saw that there were probably several hundred people here.
It's a lot, it's a lot, but it doesn't seem like a lot.
"Ning is the Phoenix King, hmm?"
At this time, an extremely huge Sahadouin, half white and half greenish brown, walked over. It was a little taller than the others around it. The exposed cloak was full of scars, and one of its eyes was missing, leaving
A horrifying scar and a black hole showed that he was a veteran warrior who had been on the battlefield for a long time. Naturally, he was also most likely the leader of this group of Sahadouin mercenaries.
It just speaks very strangely, but Soshyan can understand it with the help of a translator.
"It's so high. I'd rather be Ada, hmm?"
Standing in front of Soshyan, this man had to raise his head, and his slightly opened mouth contained sharp, barbed teeth.
"rude!"
Several sea guards behind Soshyan immediately knocked their spears lightly on the ground and started scolding, but Soshyan raised his hand to indicate that there was no need to be nervous.
"Since I am standing here, there is no doubt about why you are here?"
The Sahadouin leader glanced at Doral, and then said directly:
"Treasure, M."
Well, Soshyan can confirm that this race has a strange oral habit.
At this time Doral explained:
"Your Highness, in the eyes of most backward races, Ada's handicrafts are rare treasures. They are also the main commodities for our galactic trade."
Soshiyang knows this. Even the empire that officially hates Ada the most has a large number of nobles and rulers who are eager for the exquisite Ada crafts and accessories. As a result, an extremely large number of Ada crafts and accessories were born, which spread all over the empire.
