The strongest astral army in Warhammer 40K

Wake up.

The castle was already surrounded by the kobold army.

"This is the Kobold Legion?" Kayans asked incredulously.

In their imagination, all the subhumans should be like the boar-men—stupid, brutal, and backward. However, the kobold legion before them was completely different.

Like an elite human legion, they were in perfect formation, their armor gleaming, and their weapons flashing coldly.

"I'd guess at least 50,000?" Russell estimated.

"It's over, if they launch an attack, we won't be able to hold them off!" Kayans was extremely worried that they would attack.

Russell smiled and said: If they wanted to attack, they would have attacked long ago. I don't understand what these kobold legions want to do.

While they were talking, the middle-aged general hurriedly directed the troops to prepare for defense.

The well-disciplined kobold legion suddenly parted, and a kobold knight slowly walked out.

Russell was only able to see it clearly when the kobold knight reached the foot of the city.

He was tall and wore plate armor, riding a huge stag.

The kobold knight raised his hands to prove that he was not carrying any weapons.

"What does it want to do?" Kayans asked, puzzled.

"It seems they want to negotiate with us!" Russell thought so.

"Negotiation? What is there for us to negotiate?"

"Perhaps we should listen to what it has to say?"

"Are you the Astral Army?" the kobold knight asked.

The kobold knight's words were astonishing, which greatly shocked both of them.

"How did you know we were the Star Guardians?" Kayans asked curiously.

The kobold knight did not directly answer Kayans' question, but said: I am not here with any hostility today, I just want to talk to your superior about something.

"I'm the officer in charge here. Just say what you want to talk about!"

"This is a complicated matter that can't be explained in just a few words. Can you let me into the city?"

Kayansi glanced at Russell and said: What do you think about letting it in or not?

Russell felt that demi-humans were also human beings, and that it didn't seem hostile at all.

"Maybe we can let it in, since it's all alone anyway."

"We don't seem to have any other choice, so let him in!"

After the city gates opened, the kobold knight rode in slowly on a tall stag.

Upon reaching Cayans and Russell, the kobold knight jumped off the stag.

This kobold knight is nearly 2 meters tall, and his plate armor looks quite impressive, not only with a novel design but also covered in intricate carvings.

The enormous stag was almost the size of a horse and was covered in blue leather armor.

"How did you know we were from the Astral Army?" he asked before the kobold knight could even reach Kayanth.

The kobold knight smiled and said: "We have some of our brethren serving in the Astronaut Army!"

"What do you want to talk to us about?" Kayans asked curiously.

"What methods did you use to eliminate the boarmen and reclaim the castle?" the kobold knight asked.

“The venom of the Three-Faced Lion Scorpion!” Kayans said bluntly, not intending to hide anything.

"How did you obtain it?"

"Wouldn't it be enough to just kill a three-faced lion scorpion?" Kayans said casually.

The kobold knight widened his eyes and said: "They live in the poisonous miasma land, and they are huge and extremely ferocious. We have sent many warriors there but they could not hunt them down. How could you possibly kill them?"

Kayans smiled and said: We have our own methods, there's no need to go into details with you, right?

The kobold knight quickly composed himself and continued, "This is the first thing I wanted to tell you. We also need the venom of the Three-Faced Lion Scorpion. We hope you can help us. We will reward you handsomely."

"Why would you need the venom from the boar-men?" Kayans asked, puzzled.

The kobold knight gave a wry smile and said: "We are not dealing with the boarmen, but the enemy we are dealing with is many times stronger than the boarmen."

"What kind of enemy?" Russell, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up.

The kobold knight glanced at him and said, "Cave-dwelling snake-men are terrifying monsters. They not only have hard scales but also extremely strong regenerative abilities. They can also spew poisonous mist. Whenever they appear in large numbers, they are accompanied by a sky-covering poisonous mist. Every time these cave-dwelling snake-men appear, they deal a heavy blow to our demi-human empire, and our counterattacks are completely useless. Therefore, we need the poison of the Three-Faced Lion Scorpion to deal with these cave-dwelling snake-men!"

After the kobold knight finished speaking, Russell and Cayans exchanged a glance.

“It’s not that we can’t help you, but how are you going to thank us?” Kayans said calmly.

The kobold knight thought for a moment and said: "Only if you help us in return can you make any demands you want."

The kobold knight's tone was very sincere.

Russell said: I can help you, but I can't let my soldiers be injured or killed. We can lend you gas masks and send you there in Thunder fighter jets. As for whether you can kill the Three-Faced Lion Scorpion, that's up to you.

The kobold knight was overjoyed; he hadn't expected the other party to agree so easily.

"Of course, those are exactly what we need most."

Kayan frowned slightly and asked: Why did you agree to it?

Russell chuckled and said, "Demi-humans are still human. Indeed, many of them serve in the Astronautical Army, so they are practically our comrades. Helping them now might just lead to them helping us in the future."

"Alright, I'll leave this to you!" Kayans said indifferently.

The two of them had reached an agreement.

Russell glanced at the kobold knight and said, "When are you planning to set off? You can take me with you when you leave."

The kobold knight smiled politely and said, "To be honest, my word doesn't count. You still need to see our 'master'!"

"Your adults?"

"Yes, I'm just a messenger."

Russell thought for a moment and said: "Then let me go see your lord!"

The kobold knight nodded and said: Okay.

Kayans quickly came over and asked: Are you really going?

Russell chuckled dismissively: "They've already dared to come here alone, so why shouldn't we go alone? Of course I'm going!"

Kayan wanted to advise Russell, but he held back and said: "Be careful, they are demi-humans."

"I think their intelligence is no less than ours, and I believe they won't act recklessly."

"That's hard to say, but it's always best to be careful in everything you do."

Russell nodded and then followed the kobold knight out of the castle.

After the kobold knights and Russell left, the kobold legion withdrew thirty miles.

Watching Russell's departing figure, Cayenne's expression was complicated. He regretted letting Russell go like that, what if...
