Several Days Later, after my spar with Esdeath Partas, we were already in the process of complete mobilization of the Partas Tribe's elite forces and creating the attack strategies on the Frozen Coven.
The attack on the Frozen Coven was, in the end, unanimously approved by the Elder of the Partas Tribe because the benefits of conquering the Frozen Coven were tremendous and would be a great leap for the Partas Tribe.
Especially regarding their Psyker Heritage, which was something that the Partas Tribe had long ago coveted, but they couldn't really obtain it. Attacking the Frozen Coven would be a very arduous task, and when I saw the plans and the information about the strengths and weaknesses of the Frozen Coven, I understood the reason.
It was far more problematic than it seemed.
The protections around the headquarters of the were something to behold, because they were probably the most powerful Psyker protections on the entire Fenran Rex IX., so breaking through them would be very hard.
Not to mention, the Sorcerers of the Frozen Coven were smart enough to build their main headquarters in a place where the line between Materium and Immaterium was thinnest, meaning the Psykers in that place were more powerful than usual.
This resulted in a state where the Psykers could exert far more of their power than usual; something like that wasn't normally possible. Immaterium and Realspace were not compatible with each other; only when there was a breach in the Realspace could the Immaterium exert far more of its power.
This was pretty disadvantageous for anyone who would attempt to attack the Frozen Coven, because the Psykers were tremendously empowered by the presence of the breach in the Immaterium.
As long as they could control the breach and overlapping Immaterium with the Realspace and stop the constant attempts of the Powers of the Ruin to invade the Realspace, the Frozen Coven obtained a great power base for themselves.
Unfortunately for them, there was something that could deal with the situation rather easily...
"We can attack and conquer the Frozen Coven rather easily as long as we manufacture some of these things..."
I said and launched the holo-projection of the Dawn Pillars that were widely used in the Kadath Universe to suppress anything related to the supernatural, concepts of any kind of energy, or something like that.
We perfected the usage and technology of the Dawn Pillars to the utter extreme, and we could manufacture them very fast.
Unfortunately, with the limited technology of the Partas Tribe, I needed to make some tweaks to it, but that wasn't that hard as I had an auxiliary A.I. Chip of Architect and my very own computing capabilities.
Nevertheless, it took me a few days to create the Dawn Pillars that functioned like the Cadian Blackstone Pylons.
A Cadian Pylon System was a complex of several thousand massive pylon-shaped devices composed of Blackstone and of unknown Xenos origin, erected millions of standard years ago in a complex network stretching across the surface of the Fortress World of Cadia.
"This little darling here is the Dawn Pillar, a specifically crafted device with the sole purpose of suppressing everything even remotely related to the Immaterium. Once activated, we can turn to weaken the Psykers of the Frozen Coven to the extremes, though, unfortunately, because of the breach in the Realspace, it won't be enough for us to make all Psykers just ordinary people."
I was discussing with Esdeath the possible strategy for the attack on the Frozen Coven; this was just a preliminary discussion, before we would present it to the Elder of the Partas Tribe.
"Interesting gadget. Would we be able to construct them within our capabilities?"
Even though I knew that Esdeath wasn't the most technologically apt person, because she believed in her personal might and power, she thought that overusing technology led to weakness and disgrace.
"Not just gadgets, but devices that would win us this conflict without any effort, in fact. And yes, we can manufacture with the STCs present within the Partas Tribe and some of my own input... we will place the Dawn Pillars around the headquarters of the Frozen Coven and activate them, rendering all of their Psychic potential useless, and, at the same time, all of their protections would be basically a piece of scrap. Just a few salvos from the artillery would be enough to break through all of the barriers."
The Dawn Pillars were absolutely needed for the conquest of the Frozen Coven because attacking them in a more convenient way would cost a lot of resources. Breaking through their defenses in a more standard way would require tremendous firepower and even manpower.
"Right now, with the capabilities of the Partas Tribe and the STCs that the Partas Tribe has in their possession, they could probably manufacture five of them with their technological capabilities. With me controlling the STCs and patching them together, we can increase the production output to somewhere around twelve to fourteen before we commence the attack on the Frozen Coven."
The Elders of the Partas Tribe decided that they would attack the Frozen Coven in five months or so, so before that, we needed to finish all preparations and prepare all things that were needed for the attack.
All Dawn Pillars needed to be manufactured and ready for usage.
"Hmm... if that works as supposed, we can probably achieve victory without investing a lot of resources. Psychic Powers are the basics of the Frozen Coven; they are their strongest and most powerful side. If they are taken out of the equation, then they are not really that powerful."
Frozen Coven, without their Sorcerers and Psykers, were actually not really powerful, and their numbers were actually much smaller than even the Partas Tribe itself. They were able to maintain their status and so-called neutrality only due to their possession of tremendoiíus Psyker Powers.
"Now the sole thing that is needed is to formulate the plan of attack using the Dawn Pillars usage as the core of the strategy."
