The Astartes Family's Notebook

The Ark world of Atanza perfectly avoided the period of the rise of the human empire, so the Eldar of Atanza did not actually have the same kind of animosity towards humans as the typical Eldar of the Ark.

The previous ambush of the Deathwatch squad was initiated by them, and Ysera, lacking a substantial gift to give in return, retaliated.

As a strong woman capable of serving as a warrior, Ysera remained remarkably composed. Since she had already taken action, even if the Master of the Hunt retaliated later by shooting out one of her eyes, the warriors of Atansar would still accept it.

It's only natural that we're not as skilled as others.

If we meet again, I'll retaliate. If we don't, then it's all in the past.

So when Karz didn't act immediately, Ysera raised her hand to signal her followers not to overreact.

"You boarded my ship uninvited, and then claim you meant no harm?"

Kaz thought for a moment, and although his tone was not very pleasant, his attitude was quite restrained.

"Let's talk first; it'll be good for everyone."

Ysera was prepared to take action at the slightest provocation.

Katz agreed.

"Then let's talk."

Qiong En was completely bewildered. What was going on?

Therefore, having a wide range of knowledge and experience is indeed beneficial for survival.

If Black Bean Sprout had said that, Kaz would have jumped right in without a second thought.

The Dark Eldar are trying to get close to you to lull you into a false sense of security and find an opportunity to strike.

However, if the Ark Eldar want to talk to you, then they truly have ulterior motives towards you, and they won't suddenly attack before the conversation is over.

Led by eleven Ark Eldar, they went to the reception room, called the captain over to serve tea and water, and Kaz threw his power sword on the table, waiting to hear the story that White Sprout had made up on the spot.

Ysera thought for a moment, then followed suit, placing her staff and sword on the table and dragging a chair to sit opposite Kaz.

“I’m not interested in your conflict with the Dark Eldar; I’m here to find another group of Ark Eldar.”

As soon as Ysera said this, apart from Qorn who was still closely monitoring the scene, Kaz and Troys were already having a mental brainstorming session to the point that their brains were overloaded with their cerebellum.

Option A: Go along with it and try to extract more information.

Option B: What's with all that 'gurgling'? I don't understand.

Option C: Win people over with virtue and treat them with sincerity.

Option D: Steal his Arkham Assassin, then use Omnislash to refresh the orb and follow up with another Omnislash.

"What's your name?"

"Isera of Atanza".

"Lady Ysera, is it possible that the Astartes Warband fighting the Dark Eldar is someone else?"

The reason Kaz didn't turn hostile on the spot wasn't because he chickened out, but because he completely distrusted the demon hosts on the ship.

Don't be fooled by their obedient and docile demeanor when Kars is beating them with the Holy Sword of Physics. When things get tough, they're not so bad when things are going well, but when things turn against them, those parasitic demons are all traitors.

He didn't even fully trust his two henchmen, Kaz, and only called the captain over because he was about to stab him to death if things went wrong.

In this situation where everyone is an enemy, engaging in close combat with White Bean Sprout would be extremely disadvantageous for Katz.

Let's talk about it then.

"Does Your Excellency mean there are other Astartes factions in this starport?"

"There is at least one other Astartes warband."

Ysera was speechless. She thought she had finally found the key to the matter, that she could find clues about her fellow Usvi people through Astartes, but...

"Then, if I may ask, Your Excellency..."

"If you already know it's presumptuous, why ask?"

"..."

Am I giving these human monkeys face?

Ysera's manners are considered quite good among the Eldar, but the arrogance of the Eldar is innate and has nothing to do with upbringing.

If Kars had ten Astartes, Ysera might consider compromising, but with only three, why would I avoid the clash between humans and monkeys?

"Don't get angry yet. Have your men open the door and check the hallway."

Katz, after all, was an Astartes who had practical experience in diplomatic affairs with the Adarin. He could tell what these white sprouts were thinking just by looking at Ysera's silent state.

Isera nodded slightly, and one of her men pressed a button to open the door to the reception room and peeked around.

Then he collapsed onto the ground with a thud, only making "Ahhhhhh" sounds inside his helmet.

The sudden turn of events caused the Eldar on the Ark to immediately raise their guns, while Choon and Troys also picked up their explosive rifles to confront them.

However, everyone knew that Ysera and Kaz were still sitting there, and without orders from their older siblings, a fight wouldn't break out.

Curious about what he had seen, another spirit peered out. He fared slightly better; he didn't collapse in fright, but his body stiffened and he couldn't move.

The reason is simple: hundreds of demon hosts floated densely in the corridors and passageways, a sight that would terrify anyone.

The Eldar tactical helmets also have camera functionality, and Ysera has already seen what the corridor looks like.

"Put down your guns, you're making a fool of yourselves here."

My apologies, I'm so sorry, it turns out you're from the Chaos War Gang.

Although her tone became increasingly calm, Ysera's murderous intent burned even brighter.

As a daughter of Atansar, Ysera could not tolerate the evil forces of the Warp.

"First of all, let me state that I am Astartes, a loyalist of the Empire."

Ah, yes, yes, yes.

"Secondly, I didn't create these demon hosts either."

Ah, yes, yes, yes, yes.

"Finally, I'll take you to see something good."

Kaz gave Qiong a look, and Qiong's face immediately fell. He was doomed. He had been slacking off these past few days, and there were still more than a hundred skulls that hadn't been silvered yet.

However, the Aidalings were the galactic overlords of the previous era, and they had seen all sorts of tricks.

It's just a few hundred heads, who are you trying to scare?

We Eldar born in Atansar are sent to the battlefield to fight Chaos demons right after kindergarten, while you...

Noticing the mountain of discarded Astartes tactical helmets piled up next to the foundry, Ysera ultimately didn't voice her thoughts.

I've never seen hundreds of Chaos Astartes heads before.

"You're quite lucky. I know a bit about your Ark Eldar, so I didn't start shouting for war the moment we met."

Seeing that Ysera remained silent, Kaz continued.

"Stop trying to shift the blame. If you want something, you can't just take it for free. You have to offer something in return."

Ysera pondered for a long time before speaking, but ignored Katz's offer of a quid pro quo.

Have we met before?

"Maybe I've seen it, maybe I haven't, who knows?"

Those who ascend the throne may not ultimately be capable of ruling the world.

Maybe you just have a butt that's the right size.

-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------

Trois reminded his leader that when dealing with the Eldar, they either had to fight directly or talk things out politely. Those little brats would understand the subtext but pretend not to.

A genius-like personality, a lion-like voice.

Ha, this isn't exclusive to the Eldar in Ark, so stop acting all high and mighty.

My godfather, Leon Johnson, was the same way.

If Isera had any other choice, she wouldn't have wasted her breath on human canned chimpanzee food.

She had no choice.

The Warhammer Universe's faction is still making a strong push.

For the Ark Eldar, each Ark is a clan, with its own unique circumstances.

For example, Atansar possesses the most elite light infantry and the most powerful Spectral Knights in all of the Ark worlds.

Don't get me wrong, it's not that the Eldar of Atanza don't like big trucks and big planes, but that all armored vehicles have been completely destroyed by the endless tide of demonic energy.

As for the Dark Knights, given Atansar's current population, it's impossible for them to have enough twins to pilot them.

So there are no living people inside Atansar's ghost mech.

Wait, does this mean there's no Astartes in the Dreadnought?

Let's settle this. The Aidaling tribe doesn't have a Crimson Forbidden Zone.

Oh.

The Ark world of Usvi actually has many problems. Although there are many prophets and psionicists, and the war shamans are all very effective, the scarcity of tribe warriors in Usvi has always been a problem for this Ark world.

Although he has assembled a large "civilian" army and possesses an armored force that Atansar could only envy, Usvi is feared and even contemptuously called the Cursed One by other Ark worlds because of his eccentric behavior and attitude towards psionic energy.

Therefore, when it comes to getting reinforcements, Usvi can usually only find black bean sprouts from the Comoros.

If it's a mission involving cutting down a certain number of enemies, the Adarin tribe in Usvi doesn't really hide anything; they just cut them down without any hesitation.

When the mission is slightly more complicated, the war shaman or prophet led by Usvi always hides first, waiting for the black bean sprouts (who are written as reinforcements and read as cannon fodder) to charge ahead, and only steps out to make the final decision at the crucial moment.

Ysera has already tried, but she can't find any trace of her Eldar brethren on the Usvive Ark within the Starport.

That's why she decided to take a roundabout approach, using Astartes as a starting point to search for clues about Usvi.

only......

The number of Astartes on the human empire side is even scarcer than that of the Eldar on the Ark. How can there be so many different factions of Astartes in such a small starport?

Ysera doesn't have any eggs, and it hurts a bit too.

To stab someone in the back, you first have to be on their back. Although the purpose of the Battle of Atansathi was to find the prophets of Usvi and find the way home, that didn't stop Ysera from having a little sparring with Khaz first.

If this little war gang wants to harm the Usvi Ark world, she can interfere and give the Usvi people a little something to show their appreciation.

Ysera benefited greatly from her studies in the Ark of Aletork, and she felt she had learned how to interact with her fellow Eldar from the Ark.

"So you have a grudge against Usvi?"

Kaz listened for a long time, but he still felt completely confused. These white bean sprouts really weren't speaking human language.

"No, I personally have no grudge against the people of Usvi."

Isera denied Katz's claim.

"Then go find it yourself, why are you telling me all this?"

Unlike typical hot-blooded male protagonists, Kaz isn't the type to get carried away with a few words; he's not particularly interested in what's happening at Starport.

Even if the Astartes and Black Sprouts fight to the death, it has nothing to do with Kars's mission to return home.

In fact, if it weren't for the thought that Deathwatch might intervene and his willingness to wait, Katz would have already set off for the Calithis sector.

The lack of a navigator only means a slight lack of autonomy. Just find a psionicist to join another fleet; they can always follow along even if they can't see the starlight.

Which Imperial Charter fleet or merchant ronin could refuse a reasonable request from a loyal Astartes?

Therefore, Katz doesn't value Ysera's so-called "friendship".

A warrior of steel possesses an iron will; how could a straight man of steel possibly fall for a white bean sprout? No way, no way.

Ysera was somewhat troubled by Kaz's inflexibility.

During their time in Aletoc, Atanza's War Gods had already systematically caught up on the current state of the real universe.

Ysera knew very well that with her small force, she could easily bully small Astartes warbands, but she would be no match for large warbands or well-organized Imperial Astartes companies.
