Protoss in Warhammer

Chapter 275 263. Smuggling Merchant
M41.931
Year 40 of the 931th Millennium.

Of course, this is what human beings say. According to the Kalai protoss, it is the 10nd year of the 732th millennium of the new era.

Just like other intelligent races in the galaxy, the Kalai Protoss also has its own unique epochal method.But unlike some races, the Kalai Protoss has two era laws, and these era laws also have certain historical origins.

We all know that Kalai has been trapped in a terrible civil war for a long time in its history. A battle of theories and knowledge successfully bathed the race in blood, and at the same time dragged down the entire eastern region of the galaxy. Into the endless abyss.

Of course, this eastern region refers to the western region according to human terms. According to Kalai's own statement, it should be the western region.Some people may wonder why these guys fought from the west of the galaxy to the east of the galaxy at that time, and why the main battlefield actually broke out in an area so far away from Aiur?

It is a pity that no one was able to record these precious historical books, because the two main civilizations at that time, the Kalai and the Eldar, suffered tragic disasters at that time and later. One civilization led to the collapse of the civilization due to its own civil war. Going backwards, the other one was almost extinct in the Great Fall tens of thousands of years later, so their knowledge of that time can be said to be very little.Therefore, no one knows why the scale of the war was so vast during that period of time.

But in any case, this terrible time was too unbearable for the eldest sons, so after Sage Kass ended the war more than 1 years ago and successfully united the protoss at that time, the pre-unification All time is called the old era, and when the beacon of Aiur's civilization is erected again, that period of time is called the new era.

The time span of the Old Era is very wide, because the tens of millions of years from the legendary moment of Kalai's birth to the reunification are called the Old Era.

After that, the years after the Kalai protoss unified by Kara were called the New Era. Even the Dark Templar and the Tal'darin who split later still used the New Era.And this habit has reappeared in their new territory due to the expansion of the protoss.

Just like the current human being, his name is Black, and he is assigned to guard Kalai's border in this area.More than 20 years ago, when he was a kid, the small earth ball in his hometown was still the territory of the Human Empire. However, the Alien Empire included this land into their territory during the war more than ten years ago. .

What surprised some people at the time was that the imperial government did not even have an idea of ​​how tragic the loss of a planet was. They did not even send a destroyer over at that time, as if the planet did not belong to them.

In fact, for the empire, this weak and barren area has almost no time to pay attention to it except for the tax collection every few hundred years.Those humans who live on the planet don't know that to the empire, they are just a group of forgotten and exiles. Their land is like a grain of sand to a sea of ​​sand to the empire. Ten such planets were destroyed and occupied, and hundreds more were incorporated into the Empire's territory.

Therefore, it makes sense that when this land was occupied by aliens, the imperial government did not even block it too much, because there are more and greater threats to deal with in the entire galaxy, and Kalai is nothing more than a threat to the empire. It is just an alien force without much sense of hatred. What the central government of the empire needs to really deal with is the enemy from subspace.As usual, there are still no spaceships here, and even Rogue Trader ships are very rare here.Due to the order of the High Lords Council hundreds of years ago, the entire Damocles has been sealed off, and even merchants with immunity from foreign trade transactions cannot come here.

Except for those smugglers.

The smugglers... weren't a very nice bunch, and of course if they were willing to give him something shiny, he'd change his mind.

In this case, it refers to the shining imperial coins in their wallets.Although these currencies are not universal in Kalai's territory, those precious metals that are very valuable in the galaxy are the raw materials for these gold coins. As long as they can be obtained and melted into metal bars, it will be a valuable income.

Those smugglers like the goods on their planet very much, or the cheap goods from Kalai Protoss.These products are very popular in the hive city. Whether it is the common people living in the lower hive or the nobles living at the top, there is always a kind of Kalai Protoss product suitable for them.

Unfortunately, due to the orders of the Inquisition and the High Lords, these goods could only be traded by smugglers. When they finally came into the hands of those people, the price had at least tripled, but compared to the same type in the Empire The products are still much cheaper, and sometimes the quality is better.

Driven by such huge interests, naturally a large number of smugglers take desperate risks, pass through the blockade of the Navy, and use various methods such as bribery to reach their destinations.If they pass through the blockade of the Human Empire, they still need to pass through another line of defense, which is the border patrol of the Kalai Protoss.

At the beginning, there were some idiots who really believed the propaganda of the Imperial Ministry of Military Affairs, thinking that those creatures were just a group of primitive people, and even planned to plunder the planet they occupied and make a profitless business.But after those idiots turned into space junk under the plasma cannon, no idiot tried like this. Instead, they just obediently paid the human guards at the border to let them go.

Compared with the Imperial Navy, the human guards on the Kalai protoss side are much luckier, because their behavior is semi-approved, and the officers turn a blind eye to this kind of thing, and will not be like The political commissars of the Imperial Navy would pull those officers out and destroy them at any time.However, the situation for the imperial navy is not that serious, unless you forgot the one that was prepared to falsify, but the people from the trial court came... then prepare another one, usually there is no big problem .

Blake thought like this, waiting for the arrival of the smuggling ship.

Ah, sure enough, they are here!
