Although the other party was not rude and his tone was formal and serious, Bernadita could feel that the Iron Wanderer warrior standing in front of her seemed to be in a bad mood.

In fact, not only him, but the entire team who was asked to stay on the command ship to protect the prophet was in a bad mood.

The Chapter Master took his brothers to fight aliens, but he could only hide in the rear as a security guard. No Space Marine would be happy to receive such treatment.

Bernadita used her strong willpower to calm down the anger that had been ignited in the battle, and then used the Eldar corpses scattered in the cabin and the spirit bone blade inserted in the communication array to prove the authenticity of her words, and obtained He gained the trust of this Steel Wraith team who was not in a good mood.

Among the noble officers in the headquarters, there was also an old acquaintance of Bernadita. With this relationship, she successfully met the prophetess Alexei.

"I'm glad to see you can come back alive." Alexei smiled and looked at Bernadita, whose armor was stained with blood. His beautiful eyes without vision were filled with golden light: "Fodlan's supreme prophet is afraid of You, or something you control. They set up many obstacles on your way back, but you still broke through them one by one and came to me."

Alexei stood up from his seat holding the hem of his skirt with both hands, and bent slightly towards Bernadita: "Although it is a bit offensive, I have to say that I am very happy to see the Eldar trying their best to kill you. "

Because the less they want Bernadita to return, the greater the threat Salazar, the supreme prophet of Fordola, sees in her.

This also means that the information brought back by Bernadita from this trip is of extremely high value to the Imperial Army.

Bernadita has become accustomed to the gentleness and ruthlessness of the prophetess, and her emotions did not fluctuate as a result. She just reported truthfully: "When we were about to enter the Xihe galaxy, an Eldar team launched a jump attack on my ship. The gang attacked, consisting of 6 'Howling Banshees', 1 'Bishop', and 2 'War Witches'. The moment they entered the cabin, they immediately killed the astropaths and navigators on the ship, and then another Destroyed the communications array - and finally attacked me."

"...It's amazing. How did you escape?" Based on Alexei's understanding of the Eldar, even the most elite Astartes veterans would never survive such an attack.

"I killed them all," said Bernadita.

Alexey saw that she seemed unwilling to mention the details of the battle, so he did not continue to ask, but instead brought the topic to the topic: "So, you have gone through such hardships and risked your life to bring it back to us. What exactly is the news?"

"We were deceived. The Eldar's offensive against Xihe was a cover. The real main force in the Arkworld of Fordola is actually..."

"They have actually taken advantage of the empty space of the imperial defenders who have been mobilized to forcefully tear through the defense line and march deeper into the Lost Dreams Star Group, right?"

Alexei put a slender white index finger in front of Bernadita's lips, and his gentle voice was like a young mother humming a lullaby to her beloved child: "Is this all you want to say?"

"So you know..." Bernadita took a breath. Why did the prophetess, knowing that the Eldar's offensive against the Xihe system was just a feint, still forcefully summon all the imperial defenders to return to the defense and take the initiative to surrender the defense line? Becoming empty?

"If it's just this, it's not enough to make the powerful psychic, who is revered as the supreme prophet by the Eldar, pay so much attention to you." Alexei did not mean to answer her question, but continued to ask. : "Think about it again, okay? Think about it, do you have some information about the Eldar's next actions that we don't know about?"

"I..." Bernadita was stunned for a few seconds. She didn't know what important key she had mastered, so she had to take a long breath and start from the beginning:

"During the past few years, during the long tug-of-war between the Imperial defenders and the Eldar, I have been traveling around with Adeptus Mechanicus research teams and other Inquisitors, investigating various native worlds, and occasionally Track the scout team sent by the Eldar..."

"After investigating multiple galaxies and indigenous planets, a technical priest and I summed up a rule - the galaxies in the Lost Dreams cluster are distributed in a whirlpool, and the indigenous worlds on the periphery of the whirlpool are very backward and primitive; The indigenous worlds inside the galaxy group are relatively advanced, and we have even discovered two indigenous civilizations in the early industrial age."

"After a long investigation we concluded that the closer to the center of the vortex the indigenous people were, the higher their level of civilization was."

This is indeed information that the imperial defenders who are busy guarding against the Eldar attack cannot know... Alexei nodded thoughtfully: "Can you tell me the name of the technical priest who worked with you to sum up this law? ?"

"His name is Lancifer, and he was born in Falla." Bernadita answered immediately.

"It turns out to be him." Alexey nodded slightly.

Bernadita was greatly surprised: "...Do you know Lancifer? He is just an unknown person who was promoted to a technical priest not long ago. You actually know him?"

Alexei smiled: "Because not long ago, at the beginning of the offensive and defensive battle, the offensive fleet of the Eldar from Fodlan's Ark left an important weapons platform close at hand instead of attacking, and instead focused their fire first. , destroying a very inconspicuous small spacecraft."

Such an abnormal event would naturally attract her attention.

"——There is a technical priest on that ship named Rancifer."

It was only then that Bernadita truly realized how important the information she had was.

Just as she was sighing for a moment, suddenly, a striking blood-red emergency communication was connected to the quantum communication array in front of the prophetess.

Alexey did not shy away from Bernadita who was present, and directly accepted the communication. The communication was very brief, and the message was simple, but creepy:

"Aurora, the hinterland system of Esbanese, was attacked by the Eldar fleet. The L-star gate has been lost. They are preparing to attack Falla!"

Looking at the blood-red and eye-catching fonts projected on the communication array, Bernadita remembered that a long time ago, before the Imperial Army entered the Lost Dream Nebula, and she was still following the Star Destroyer and Russell, she got a very unpleasant message. Eye-catching information:

"The patrol fleet of the Aurora galaxy briefly captured traces of a suspected Eldar warship in a deserted galaxy around Aurora. They believe that there is a suspected entrance to the webway in that star field."

It is no longer suspicious, Aurora has been lost.

"Fortunately, the imperial fleets scattered in the Lost Dreams Star Cluster are returning to defend Xihe. We will soon have enough strength to rush to Faya's aid and guard the main gate of the L-Star Gate..."

At this time, Bernadita finally understood how forward-looking the decision made by Alexei was; the prophetess may not be able to truly see the future trend, but she can always make the right response to the future.
