The Protoss in Warhammer

Chapter 357 345. Sudden change

After handing in their weapons, the two Eldar came to the hall. This is a huge hall. The circular building structure makes its lower half, which is the floor close to the outside, have more than a dozen entrances and exits. A large number of merchants and representatives come in from there.

This is the merchant registration office of the entire trade port. A large number of merchants register here. Roughly estimated, there are at least thousands of merchants here. Of course, as mentioned before, since most of the trade still comes from the internal circulation, most people here are still people from the Kalai Empire. Merchants like them who come in from the outside need to go and register, otherwise there is no way to trade locally.

But everything has some accidents. Amrada watched a group of very short humans swaggering to a normal place for handling, and then just like the merchants in the Kalai Empire, they registered their documents with the staff and left. There was no need to wait in a special area like them.

After seeing the other party's puzzled expression, the commander of the trade fleet said

"They are short people, a subspecies of humans. They also have their own civilization and country. But they don't have a very good relationship with their human relatives, at least this branch in Damocles Bay is like this. After all, we all know what kind of virtue the empire created by that madman is. Anyone with some choices and ideas would not want to stay there."

"So they have a very good relationship with Kalai?"

"You can say that the relationship between them is so close that these merchants can get some preferential treatment in the land of the elders."

They passed through all kinds of merchants and finally came to a special waiting hall, where more than a dozen people from other regions and races sat. Of course, there is also the wandering merchant who just spoke out, or the representative of the dynasty behind him.

But there are familiar people here. People of other races can be seen gathering together here, such as those human smugglers, who will gather together. These human smugglers don't have specific endorsement documents like the merchant, but there are still many people on the outer planets who are willing to take risks, cross the dangerous blockade, avoid the inspection of the Astartes and the Imperial Navy, and enter the Damocles Gulf to exchange valuable goods.

Five or six rows away from them are the Stryxis, a wandering alien race that usually appears as unreliable merchants, wanderers, and even slavers and pirates. You can meet them in the Koronus Expanse on the border of the Calixis Sector in the Nebula. Although they have established permanent bases in the systems and asteroid belts on the edge of the God-Emperor's Scourge storm, most of them still wander around as nomadic tribes with the fleet, trading anything they are interested in.

From the appearance, the Stryxis are very ugly: they are described as a skinned dog embryo the size of a human, with a slender body and bony claws on their limbs. Their feet have only two thick toes. They usually wear a tattered bone-colored suit with small ornaments on it. Their aggressive face has an upturned nose, a bit like a human bulldog, and four small round eyes. In short, you can imagine them as a four-eyed dog-headed man with a pair of thick chicken feet.

However, the reason why the human smugglers stay away from them is not only because of their horrible appearance, but also because of the sour smell they emit when they walk by. When passing by the place where they are staying, the fleet commander almost vomited his breakfast in the morning, after all, the smell of these guys is too sour! (Space Gypsies).

The merchant-roller and his followers sat at the edge of the hall, trying to stay away from the heretics and aliens. After all, it was a bad thing to have any contact with them in this place.

Fortunately, they finally found a good place to sit down. Just after taking a breath, Amrad suddenly felt someone patting his shoulder. Aida looked back vigilantly and breathed a sigh of relief, because the blue armor the other party was wearing proved their identity. They are compatriots of Alaitok, which is a highly ordered Eldar craft world famous for its widespread use of rangers; most of the Eldar born in it will choose the "Wandering Path" and become rangers. They have a very good reputation in the entire craft world, because they are said to be very reserved and calm, and more importantly, their relationship with the Harlequin Troupe is as close as that of Raglish.

However, their relationship with the Dark Eldar is very tense, just like their relationship with the Undead, because it can be seen from their rune symbols. The rune of Alaitok depicts "Kane's sword splits the red moon in two", which is the mark of the Eldanesh family, referring to the war god Kane killing the Eldar heroes. The dark Eldar believe in Kane more.

After communicating, they understood the other party's purpose of coming here. They also came to trade, but they came here to buy food. In the southern part of the hazy star field where they lived, due to the continuous actions of the great plunderer Abaddon, a large number of virgin worlds and human agricultural worlds were plundered, and the food production they could obtain was greatly affected. They were forced to cross a long distance to come to the territory of the ancient saints to purchase food.

After hearing the other party's words, Amrada was a little surprised. He didn't expect that in just a few hundred years, the great plunderer actually had a new plan. Could it be that he was going to launch another dark expedition and launch a new revenge on the human empire?

Regarding his point of view, his compatriots from Alaitok didn't care much, because the damage caused by humans to the Craft World and their race was too great (just like saying how little damage you have caused to humans.) It is said that the Imperial Inquisition once captured many Eldar wanderers and tortured them to obtain a lot of Eldar knowledge. This exacerbated the tension between the Empire and Alaitok, causing the two to be at war.

While they were talking, they suddenly heard a loud alarm. The terrible alarm directly pierced the quiet environment, and then the guards came in and controlled everyone present.

"What's going on? Why are the guards coming in?"

Looking at the sudden changes around him, Amrada asked several compatriots next to him in surprise, but they didn't have any clues. After all, they really couldn't think of anyone who could attack this important node. And Amnada obviously noticed that those people quickly controlled all the humans present. He quickly asked a guard and said

"What's going on? Is it the Imperial fleet?"

The guard looked at him and said vaguely

"It can be said that there are four Imperial Inquisition warships flying and an unknown ship is heading here. Now you all sit down and don't move!"
