Warhammer: Rise of the Star Gods

Chapter 375 Zutan

Sigmar couldn't understand why Zhang Lingyou's incarnation mocked and suppressed a Phoenix Chosen One in front of all the lords and gods during this meeting.

The Eldar actually looked... happy?

What are you happy about?

Are you glad that Zhang Lingyou didn't use the power of the Star God to conduct diplomacy for the first time, and then messed it up?

"You still don't understand this world, nor do you know enough about the ways of the gods."

The incarnation of the Star God grabbed an Eldar marquis (corresponding to the human race's title) and pried open his eyes to see if this guy was healthy.

“In the eyes of the Eldar, Star Gods must be unreasonable if they can be unreasonable.

If the other party makes sense, no matter what, the other party has no other means.

This is a strategic victory for the Eldar. Selling a lord is just a minor tactical loss, which is not a big deal."

"So what am I here for?"

“Show your face, and let people know that you are Sigmar, the Emperor of the Holy Empire.

Instead, when he is mentioned, he is called the Silent King 2.0, a puppet with the title of emperor.

In a few years, the distance between the Webway and the Big World will be very close.

The Eldar have already suffered a lot of setbacks in battles with the World Escort Fleet, and subsequent world landing battles will require reducing losses.

At that time, I will have to clean up.

You select a group of reliable commanders and go with me to see the operations of the three tribes.

Don't always think that you are smart. There is a reason why others suffer losses.

Some things are better off not being used. "

There was a flash of suspicion in Sigmar's eyes. The Star God mentioned the Silent King, so he naturally knew what the Necrons had done.

Orr was punished by Grey Wind for making a joke about the Eldar being backstabbed by a servant and taunting them by saying "What kind of idiot would be backstabbed by a servant?"

Now that Zhang Lingyou brought up the matter again, something seemed wrong.

But thinking back to Zhang Lingyou's emotional intelligence during the previous negotiations, it seemed normal.

The big guy with a confused mind couldn't remember at all. Under normal circumstances, Zhang Lingyou would explain the cause and effect of the problem and start thinking about who he should take with him.

Warp, outside the World Wall

Time: Main universe timeline, thirty years ago

World number is 1024

Level: Large World

Situation: The world's will is normal, and there is native civilization protecting it.

The strongest among them fight on their own land, with the support of world power. Their power is weaker than that of the Eldar God of War, but stronger than that of the God of Hunting.

"So, that's all the information?

What do the natives there look like?

Number, level of civilization, political system, life span, culture, distribution? "

"Your Majesty, we are too weak to get in, and it is difficult for us to obtain more useful information. I hope you can forgive us."

The Eldar messenger god holding the Spear of Dusk responded with gritted teeth. He could not bow down as it was the face of the Eldar; he could not argue as the job was really bad.

The defense measures against psychic energy on the outside of the barrier are very complete and the layout is very ingenious.

Just like the Star God's favorite useless method, a large army would suffer too many casualties if it attacked directly, and a small unit's infiltration attack would be consumed by a large amount of cannon fodder.

The cannon fodder of the lower races is not very effective, and the cost of transporting troops back and forth is not as good as transporting a few more ships of Eldar warriors.

The high-level lords were sniped, and the Eldar gods went in. Without the guidance of the ancient saints, they would be targeted by the will of the world and it was normal for them to die on the spot.

As for the Ancient Saint... this thing is the cornerstone of the country and cannot run around. Even if it is injured, it will put the elves at a disadvantage.

This situation is also a common problem in world development. If you don't fight, you won't be able to get so many resources into your hands.

If we fight, we will suffer heavy losses, but that will be ok if we can make up for it later. The only thing we are afraid of is that the other two will take advantage of the situation and make things difficult for others.

As for other things, such as the different speed of time flow within the world, the Eldar may feel that only a few decades have passed, but thousands of years have passed inside the world. The logistical supply speeds of the two sides cannot be compared.

What's worse, there are many internal world lines, which can bring out dozens or hundreds of strong people and more guard corps to protect the core of the world.

After thinking for a long time, the gods reluctantly accepted Zhang Lingyou's suggestion that he would be responsible for the will of the world.

As for searching and local civilization, the three tribes handled it themselves, with a 70:3 victory.

After all, Zhang Lingyou can do the exploration and dealing with the guard corps by himself, it's just a waste of combat power.

Inside the World

The ancestral land of the Zutan race

The giant beast at the head waved its tentacles and performed strange movements.

It knows that doing so can awaken the sleeping ancestors, and when the ancestors wake up, it can skip the explanation process quickly and easily, allowing the ancestors to directly understand the current situation.

"What an ancient ritual. Is dancing the shaman to invite the gods to possess you?"

In the space rift, Zhang Lingyou and Sigma watched quietly. The big guy asked about the efficiency of the sacrifice in this world.

"Well, this is just to report the work and tell them that there is an enemy invasion.

It’s not that their ancestors didn’t have a bad temper, it’s that their descendants didn’t understand what their ancestors meant. Every time they said that a powerful enemy was invading, they never said where the enemy was.

For the sake of the overall situation, the ancestor had no time to get angry and could only look at the situation first.

Basically, you have to fight after watching it, and then go back to sleep to ensure that you can fight next time.

You see, the effort for communication is gone, and the next time you wake up, you will have to use the same method.

Over time, it becomes a habit.”

"Not really, right? Even if it's not as good as you, it shouldn't be so rigid and inflexible that it can't even do a small thing like communication."

Olpersong flattered a little and asked why.

“You and I can communicate because I was a human for more than 20 years.

Normally, I am used to communicating with you in human form, so it is not difficult to talk.

But this method is very inefficient and is far less fast than communicating through will.

But communication depends on the configuration.

Most of the Star God's bodies are nebula energies that span several light years. Your field of vision cannot cover it, so how can you communicate?

It’s good enough that you’re not crazy, and communication is even more unrealistic.

The same goes for the old guy here. With the blessing of the world will, he can fight Kane on equal terms.

Those Eldar guys really don’t change their bad habits.”

The Star God smiled and distributed the remaining paper materials to everyone.

They are giant beasts with bodies similar to the Kraken, very similar in appearance and size.

Unlike their Warp cousins, these massive creatures can only be immersed in psychic energy for short periods of time and cannot be retained.

Not only that, in the Sea of ​​Souls, they have no ability to act independently.

If you want to move, you must first form a set of protective membranes outside your body, and then several Zutan protective membranes are semi-fused and linked to each other to form a nearly integral life form, moving in the sea of ​​souls through the links with the same race and the material universe.

There are naturally alien life forms in the other world. The Zutans are full of vitality, and their octopus-like tentacles also have their own thinking systems to reduce the load on the core.

The power core is bound to the logic engine, and then three such systems are placed inside the body. Zhang Lingyou said this operation is genius.

But if someone does this, they must have their own interests, and it depends on the situation after they are happy.

"It's not easy to fight. How about asking the undead guy to join us?"

"He won't come. I'll try to persuade him to surrender first...

What are you looking at?

Don’t worry, this time it will definitely succeed, there will be no fight…”
