Chapter 328 "Questions and Answers from the Army"
The church of the Unbound Soul is an irregular circular fortress, located on the back of the battleship, like an open palm pointing to the sky.
The artificial wind blowing over the top of the church is very cold, and drifting along the wind is the smell of spices emanating from the distant chanting hall.
A ray of cold sky light streaked across the exposed skin of Sosh Yang's face. It was a face that should have been very handsome, but war and genetic modification led it in a different direction.
The noble face became rough and stiff, with a scar extending from the bottom of the eyebrow on the left eye through the cheek to the chin, but the most eye-catching thing was the pair of eyes that were as radiant as the night.
Now he took off the heavy Terminator armor, put on the original finely crafted power armor again, and wore a blouse with two intertwined swords.
In front of him, the bright light could not completely illuminate the shadow of the man.
Thor looks like a melancholy poet. Next to him is a carved guardrail. The Space Marine's hand is resting on the guardrail. Behind the guardrail is a desk with a desk on it. There is a heavy book on the table.
No one spoke, but the atmosphere at the scene was a bit strange. The artificial wind fluttered the robes of the two people and slapped against the armor.
“How things are going.”
Thor stood up slowly, his eyes looking particularly deep against the cold facial lines and unpredictable expression.
Soshi Yang shook his head and smiled. Thor knew what that meant - it meant that since the Soul Drinker Rebellion, the news Soshi Yang had received was all bad. information.
“The judge who judged them was Inquisitor Thaddeus. According to Marcus, he was a ruthless and cold hunter who would not easily change his decision unless there was conclusive evidence to prove it. The loyalty of the soul drinkers, and the fact that this rebellion is just the deviance of a few people.”
When they learned that the soul drinkers were labeled as traitors, Soshyan and Golgri were extremely shocked, as were the other two. The judges on the battlefield were also very surprised. After all, the leader of this chapter has been under their noses. How could there be a rebellion?
Later, Gorgli finally told the truth.
It turns out that most of the elite veterans of the Chapter followed Sarpedon, the curator of the think tank, to recapture a sacred object. This sacred object was once a weapon of Dorne. After being discovered by the curator of the think tank, he decided to take it back.
Although Gorgli had doubts about this decision, he could not stop it because his service time was too short and he did not establish prestige among many veterans.
In the end, Sarpedon, the director of the think tank, took away two strike cruisers, as well as three companies of elite veterans, as well as the holy master (priest) of the chapter.
When hearing this, Soshyan could imagine how embarrassing Golgory's position was in the Chapter. This kind of veteran's direct separation from the Chapter's chain of command would never happen in other Chapters. , he guessed that there must be some problem with the internal structure of the Soul Drinker.
For Gorgli, the first problem now is to find out the truth of the matter, and then find a way to revoke the ruling of the Tribunal.
Marcus was willing to help them, but according to the rules of the inquisitors, in order to overturn the ruling of an inquisitor, three or more inquisitors must be present and provide definite evidence to prove that the former ruling is wrong.
Wende can contact another judge, but the evidence must be produced by Gorgli himself, and the sooner the better.
Because once you are labeled as a rebel, crusaders will soon appear.
In fact, according to the regulations, Soshyan should have captured Gorgli on the spot and handed it over to the trial court.
But Soshyan made another decision.
He decided to act as Gorgri's guarantor until he was cleared of the Chapter's suspicions.
But before that, he had to figure out a problem first.
What is the fundamental reason why the upper structure of Soul Drinker is so chaotic?
The person who helped him was Saul - he had served in the legion and had a better understanding of this organizational structure.
“Is there still no news from the soul drinkers on the other side?”
"The subspace storm isolated..."
"Let the communication fail, yes."
Thor turned around and walked to the desk, outside the thick picture window of the church, The trajectory of the battleship's movement was wrapped in a stream of smoke.
The Emperor's Children veteran looked at it, his eyes following its trajectory.
“Gorgli was very angry. He believed that the director of the think tank deliberately refused to contact him.”
Ever since it became clear that the news about his brothers' rebellion was accurate, Soshyan remembered the anger in his friend's eyes that had never left him.
Golgri was eager to face Sarpedon, to hear the traitors' confessions with his own ears, and to personally give them the punishment they deserved.
"I have seen this kind of anger a lot."
Saul's eyes looked at Soshyan. "The final result is that the same roommates are at war... It's like Horus suddenly became a traitor and the world was turned upside down."
"I will help him solve this problem."
Saul smiled and then picked up the book on the desk.
“Even if everything is dark, even if the road is covered with blood and war, hope still exists... This sentence comes from this book, called Military Answers, which is a public classic among the Soul Drinkers. ”
Soshiyang frowned.
“Any questions?”
"There are many questions. Let me pick a few highlights. First of all, its explanation of the origin of the Astartes is very strange. It says that eighteen primarchs tore their two brothers into pieces and used their fragments to create the Astartes. Special."
"What nonsense?"
"That's not all. The interpretation of freedom here is very extreme. It advocates that the freedom of the individual soul should override duty and loyalty. on.
“Huh? "
"The most interesting thing is that it also refers to Imperial Truth, but the content is fundamentally misinterpreted. ”
"Who wrote it?"
"It is said to be a fearless member of the war group who passed away. I also found out something more interesting."
Soshiyang looked at Soshiyang in confusion. Well, he didn't understand how the other party got involved with the Soul Drinkers in such a short period of time.
"There is a special group within the Soul Drinkers called the 'Herd'. They are all veterans who have lost their commanders in previous wars, and the leader of the Beast Herd is the Chaplain of the Chapter. Ctinos, the Lord of Purity"
"Wait, you mean-"
Soshyan immediately grasped the core point.
"There is a group of veterans within the Soul Drinkers who are separated from the Chapter's chain of command? And their direct superiors are priests?"
"Yes."
Soul Shi Yang nodded in sudden realization. It is not difficult to understand why Golgri's control over his battle group is so poor, and he doesn't even know what the veterans have done.
Because those people are not in his chain of command at all.
"Then the reason for this current situation——"
His eyes drifted to the "Military Questions and Answers".
"Yes, there is a high probability that it is also because of this book."
"Instructor Saul, how do you know this secret?"
So Er showed a mysterious smile.
"Palas, the apothecary of the Soul Drinkers, is a very thoughtful young man. He..."
"What?"
"You will know later."
Looking at the other party's mysterious look, Soshyan even wondered if he had encountered the same problem as Gorgli - if there were uncontrollable factors in the Astral Knights, he There seems to be no good solution now.
Thinking of this, Soshyan's mood suddenly became very bad.
Noticing the change in his expression, Thor smiled and said:
"Do you know what Golgri's biggest problem is?"
