Chapter 217: The Real Chapter of Falsehood

Being watched intently by the Eldar sage, Howard knew very well that if his answer could not satisfy this idiot, he would lose the Eldar's trust, and all his previous and future plans would be in vain.

In one breath, Howard quickly reviewed everything that had happened on this planet in his mind, and then discovered an important event that was very obvious but had not been mentioned in his previous conversation with Chalandi.

"Those orcs, the deaths of those orcs, are proof of that," Howard said.

That is, after Freya rescued him, in order to show her strength in front of him, she burned to death all the orcs who ran out of the Blackwater Festival and were about to launch a "waaagh" against humans.

This happened about half an hour after the Eldar expelled Drago, and it was impossible for the Eldar not to notice this anomaly.

Chalandi looked at Howard and said, "Go on."

Howard hasn't figured out how to explain it yet, but now he has an idea of how to solve the problem, so he can just continue writing.

"After my Grey Knight companions were driven away by you, I was almost eaten alive by orcs. However, at the critical moment, the power of God descended again and rescued me from the orcs' stomachs." Howard made up a story. He told two different lies to the Battle Sisters and the Eldar Prophet about the same thing. However, he was not worried that the two sides would exchange information with each other. It would be good if the two sides did not fight each other when they met. Even if they could reluctantly cooperate, they would only have a temporary ceasefire, but both sides were ready to destroy each other at any time.

"The power of God... this word is too vague. In what specific form did God save you?" Chalandi asked.

"The God's clone arrived and pulled me out of the orc's belly," Howard said. He was right to say that the Great Demon was the Evil God's clone. "Then the God's clone told me that although she had lost her freedom, her life was not in immediate danger. In order to regain her freedom, she needed my help."

Well... Howard complained in his heart. When he was on Planet Nat, he called himself the messenger of Om Messiah for the convenience of action. Now here, he has to pretend to be the messenger of Isa again.

"As for what she wanted me to do, the God didn't say. She said she would tell me when she needed me... Then the God said that there were her descendants on this planet. I immediately thought of you, so I deliberately tried to lure you out."

After saying this, Howard observed Chalandi's expression and actions. He wasn't sure if his fabricated lies could fool Chalandi. Freya's psychic power was like a nuclear bomb, a Slaanesh-aligned one at that. The Eldar were extremely sensitive to psychic power and the presence of Slaanesh. Using this lie to deceive the Eldar prophet was extremely risky.

But Howard couldn't think of a better way for the time being. Anyway, being stubborn and keeping silent were both dead ends, so he might as well give it a try. After all, the worst case scenario wouldn't be that bad.

However, Chalandi frowned as he thought about Howard's words. He certainly would not believe this mortal's one-sided words. Human memory and narration were very unreliable. Something that happened half a minute ago might be completely distorted if he narrated it again. But this human's words were not without reference value.

Chalandi extracted several key words and information from this human discourse, and compared them with the information he already had.

If what this mortal said is true, then there may be another messenger of God who can be compared with the leader in this world, which is of great significance to the elves.

And if what this human said was false, but this human did know many secrets of the Eldar, then the situation would be even more complicated.

Ever since the Eldar destroyed the gods and fell, this race has been drifting, with no future.

And now, the old gods are throwing their power back into reality. Does this mean that the power of the Eldar gods is returning and the day of revival is approaching?

Chalandi's body trembled slightly because of his crazy speculation. Some of the words repeated by this human matched the evidence they had collected, some were very suspicious, and some were even ambiguous with no clear direction.

But none of them could be clearly disproven by the evidence in their hands.

"Mr. Howard..." This time the Eldar prophet called out Howard's name: "Your answer is very valuable. I... I need to think alone for a while, so..."

The prophet placed one hand on the table to support his forehead, and made a "please" gesture with the other hand. The meaning was very clear.

So Howard stood up and said goodbye, and left the spaceship under the protection of the Eldar guards.

At this time, his damaged brain had completely grown back, but the new part had no hair. Howard remembered that one-third of his brain was burned, so he was not sure if his memory was damaged, but he had no way to confirm it because people cannot remember that they have forgotten their lives.

Three Eldars holding alien weapons and wearing close-fitting armor walked in front to lead the way for Howard. This long and narrow garbage passage had undergone simple modifications and was divided into multiple areas by the Eldars. Multiple lines of defense were set up, each of which was a camouflage and a barrier. If the orcs really discovered this place, it would not be easily breached. The multiple lines of defense were enough to give the Eldar enough opportunities to evacuate.

The rest of the humans were placed in the deepest areas.

After the Eldar rescued Howard from his suicide attempt, they also saved everyone else, fulfilling Howard's wish. Some stubborn Eldar in the human ranks who refused to accept the Eldar's help responded simply and swiftly—sending assassins to kill them with poisoned knives. These knives were coated with a poison that could temporarily incapacitate even a powerful warrior. After controlling several Sisters of Battle and Sisters of Silence, the Eldar easily controlled all humans within the Blackwater Section.

The deepest area is also the safest. This is not because the Eldar have a conscience. Originally, the Eldar planned to leave these humans in the outermost area so that when the orcs attacked, these humans could serve as meat shields.

As a result, these humans never listened to the orders of the Eldar, and there was constant friction between the two tribes. The Eldar were worried that if they placed these humans on the outside, the noise and disturbance would more easily attract the attention of the orcs, so they placed this group of hairless monkeys in their eyes at the innermost part of the crack.

The Eldar spaceship temporarily parked in the middle of the crack, because it couldn't go any further in. The Eldar had tried to widen the passage, but the garbage city controlled by the Orks was very strange. If they damaged the walls a little, the walls would exceed their bearing capacity and begin to collapse. Even if they later used Eldar technology to return the damaged materials intact, the wall, which was physically identical to the original one, still collapsed.

Soon, three Eldar guards brought Howard to the human resettlement site. The door opened, and Howard, who saved all humans from the hands of death, not only did not receive any cheers or welcome, but was pointed at in the face by a chainsaw sword.
