Chapter 422 The Alliance of Suffering
Lord Magyar, the Chapter Master of the Ascetic Chapter, walked into the audience hall, followed by an honor guard. The most elite warriors under his command were covered with scars. of battle armor.
And his own figure carved with massive bones is as breathtaking as ever.
Soshyan stepped forward to greet him, and the two then hugged.
"Commander Soshiyang, long time no see."
After they separated, Soshyan took a look at Mazar and found that although the other party was still as determined and cheerful, there was unconcealable tiredness in his eyes.
“Where did you come back from, Lord Magyar?”
“Just came back from the Griffin Galaxy.”
Magyar’s voice was still like a bell, but Soshyan could detect deep pain in it.
"There are two mining worlds there that have discovered huge genestealer nests. The tech sages of Griffin 4 have tried their best but can't completely eliminate them, so I went to support. Then It was a bloody battle, and the Chapter paid a heavy price."
"What are the casualties?"
"I lost one hundred and thirty-one excellent soldiers."
This number surprised Soshyan.
“What happened in the Griffin Galaxy?”
But Mazar seemed reluctant to answer this question.
"We encountered an enemy we had never seen before, which caused us heavy losses. Fortunately, we received supplies from the Forge World Griffin IV, which made the losses less terrible."
So Shi Yang sighed.
“These are really troubled times.”
“Indeed, at the end of this forty thousandth year, it is always full of all kinds of dark omens. Having said that, I heard that this You have done a lot of big things in a while?"
Soshiyang nodded.
"Yes, we also annihilated a genestealer nest, and then suppressed a rebellion caused by Chaos, and destroyed many demons, and also eliminated a group of Eldar pirates."
As he said that, Suo Shiyang paused, hesitating whether to tell the story of the Soul Drinkers' rebellion.
But then I thought about it, this matter has most likely been publicized, and there is no point in hiding it, so I continued:
"While suppressing the Chaos Rebellion, I got acquainted with the Soul Drinker Warrior The former Chapter Master Gorgori, he was a great warrior, but some of his brothers were not. The Librarians and Chaplains of the Soul Drinkers Chapter had fallen, they started a rebellion and killed Gorgori, I Witnessed the whole process”
“I heard about it too”
Lord Magyar's eyes were stern, burning with anger and hatred.
"Aliens and heretics are hateful, but the most hateful are these treacherous traitors! Tell me, Soshyan, how many of these traitor lackeys you have killed."
"Many, but Not all of them, Sarpedon still escaped with the help of witchcraft."
"I hope that one day I can put an end to this damn traitor."
Looking at the ascetic battle group. Long, Soshiyang's mind was spinning. He didn't know whether he should reveal that he had taken in the Soul Drinker's loyal warriors.
His reason told him that he couldn't talk about it.
But if in the future, the two war groups need to fight side by side due to emergencies, can this kind of thing be concealed?
It doesn’t seem easy, because Magyar knows the previous number of Astral Knights very well. The sudden increase in the number will definitely arouse the other party’s suspicion, and it may be more difficult to explain by then.
More importantly, at the end of this increasingly turbulent forty thousand years, the Astral Knights really need a few reliable allies.
An idea started building in his mind very early.
So Soshyan made a decision.
"Lord Magyar, I have something else that I want to tell you in private."
——————
Two hours later, in the star world Catacombs of the Monastery of the Knights Chapter.
Soshyan and Mazhar stood side by side and stared at Gorgli's body for a long time. The fallen Chapter Master was placed in a metal coffin carefully crafted by craftsmen and preserved at extremely low temperatures.
“Thank you for telling me this, Soshyan.”
Mazhar’s tone was unprecedentedly serious and heavy.
“But you should know what it means to do this. You are still too young and know very little about the relationship and game between the High Lords Council and the Astartes Chapter. They do this kind of thing. It won't be tolerated."
"I know."
Soshyan replied in a low voice and sighed.
“But this is Gorgori’s last wish, and I will fulfill it no matter what. I have sworn that once all the traitors are eliminated, the stain on the Soul Drinker’s flag will be erased, and they can resume their Form your own warband and restore your own symbol and glory."
The top of the coffin is transparent glass, and Golgri's calm face can be seen inside.
“What a sad sight.”
Mazhar whispered:
"Soshiyang, you know me, I have imagined and dreamed countless times that one day I will be like him, lying in a coffin, silently. I have lived too long, and death is sometimes a luxury."< br>
“Death is our common destiny.”
Soshyan nodded in agreement.
“Let’s not talk about it anymore, Soshyan, I believe you. Your willingness to share this secret with me means that there is an essential difference between you and that Huron, which proves that you have never put personal desires before loyalty. Above, but others may not think so. In this galaxy, everyone is used to speculating on others with the greatest malice.”
“So I hope you can keep it secret for me.”
Mazar nodded.
"This is natural, I just remind you not to trust others gullibly, and don't tell a third person about this matter."
"Can't the Malakin brothers do the same?"< br>
“He——”
The Magyar Lord showed a confused expression.
"Why mention him? He doesn't seem to have any connection with this matter."
"I have had an idea for a long time."
Soshiyang carefully considered his words, and the person opposite Mazhar was very interested.
"Talk about it."
"At the end of this forty thousand years, various heretics and aliens have become more and more active, and every war group seems to be stuck in a quagmire of bitter fighting. I I have a feeling that some kind of drastic change may come. If we continue to work alone, the situation of each war group will only get worse. This is the moment when we need unity most.”
Mazhar narrowed his eyes slightly.
“What do you mean-”
“I propose to establish a loose and equal alliance. Everyone supports each other, regularly shares intelligence, exchanges materials, and joint exercises, as long as it does not violate the laws of the empire. Under the premise of being loyal to the Golden Throne, if any war group is attacked, other war groups must provide unconditional support. When a huge threat appears, the alliance will launch a joint operation, and the alliance members will vote together to determine the supreme command. Who is it?"
After listening, Mazhar was silent for about a minute, then stroked his chin and responded slowly.
“It’s interesting.”
"This is just a preliminary idea."
"I think there is something interesting about it, so what do you plan to call this alliance."
Soshiyang thought for a moment and replied:
< br>"Call it the Suffering Alliance."
