Chapter 476 Crossing the Boundary
"Soshyan, what I promised you is over. Now I have some things to leave. Macarion and the others will go with me, and Talos will stay with you. The same goes for Atani, protect her first for me.”
Listening to the voice in the communicator, Soshyan fell into deep thought.
After this period of getting along, his prejudice against Sevita was no longer as deep as before, but he still couldn't figure out Sevita's position.
And he has been vaguely aware that the encounter between the other party and himself does not seem to be purely accidental.
"Where are you going?"
"Don't ask. We will meet again in the future. Are you afraid that you won't be able to deal with Huron?"
"Of course not. ”
Although he didn’t know how the other party left, Soshiyang still felt a little uneasy when he thought that his strongest combat power was not here at this time.
Leaving aside the position of Savita, Soshyan is convinced of his personal strength. At least among the many Astartes he has seen, there are very few who can do it in Savita. The man who passed ten strokes on the tower's hand.
He goes back and reminisces about the battle between the Prince of Crows and the Void Walker every day, and he has benefited a lot from it.
“That’s right.”
Just before the communication was closed, Sevita suddenly whispered to Soshyan in a very strange tone:
“There is something I I’ve always wanted to tell you.”
“What’s the matter?”
"Thor Tarvez died a long time ago."
"What did you say? Wait—"
But Sevatar had shut down the communication.
Soshyan's heart sank a little bit, and he couldn't understand what Sevita meant.
Does he want to say that this Sol is fake?
Thinking about it, this is indeed a possibility. After all, Soshyan has never seen the real Thor himself. He himself cannot confirm anything said by this veteran from thousands of years ago.
But Brother Said has confirmed it, so he can’t be wrong too, right?
Or maybe Sevita means something else?
Thinking about this, he secretly glanced at Thor standing in front of the surveillance screen, and then noticed that Talos's body beside him suddenly shook.
“Talos, did Sevatar say something to you?”
Soshyan sent a communication request, but unexpectedly the prophet responded immediately.
“Nothing, just a little something.”
“He’s leaving.”
“Oh.”
“Do you know where he’s going? ?”
"I don't know."
Taros waved his arm impatiently.
"Our leader, please pay attention to the matter in front of you first. Huron has already come up, bringing with him thousands of murderers and butchers."
Chocked by this, Soshyan stopped saying anything and focused on the tactical panel in front of him.
Currently, all major areas of the Star Castle have been controlled, but only in these areas. In fact, more than half of the area is unguarded, and there are still many remnants of the Red Pirates left here. , once they learn that Huron has entered the Star Fortress, they will definitely go to join them immediately.
As an experienced warrior, Huron's tactics were also very simple and efficient. He concentrated all his strength and rushed towards the center, ignoring the occupied areas.
This decision is actually very correct, because dividing the troops gives Soshyan an opportunity. The entire Star Fortress monitoring system is under the control of the Star Knights. Once the troops are divided, the enemy may concentrate their efforts. Break.
But once the red pirate clenches his fist and hits the center hard, Soshiyang will have to take it even if he doesn't.
Moreover, Huron's landing was carried out only after the external fleet basically controlled the airspace around the Star Castle, which left Soshyan and others without their final retreat.
It can be said that Soshyan and the others have been locked in an iron cage.
However, this was also the final step in Soshyan's plan, and he needed Huron to make this decision.
"Ustad, Farzad, how is your team doing?"
Soon, Ustad was the first to respond.
"We have arrived at the perimeter and are building bunkers."
Farzad then responded in the same way, but his breathing was heavier - although his injuries were not fatal, But it's still quite serious.
"Very good."
Huron clenched his fists, and Soshyan returned the same gesture, shrinking his strength near the center.
He is going to have a decisive battle with Huron here!
"Captain Titus, how are you doing there now?"
"The gene seeds have successfully arrived on the battleship, and we will stay here to live and die with the Astral Knights. ”
The Ranger warriors indeed found their plundered gene seeds in the Star Fortress. The reason why Huron did not put these precious trophies in the New Badab Fortress, but in the Star Fortress, was probably because he was worried about the ground environment. is contaminated.
Or maybe he plans to trade these seeds with someone.
Anyway, the ranger warriors rediscovered their hope. After sending dozens of warriors and gene seeds out of the star fort, Magna Titus decided to lead the remaining nearly a hundred warriors with Soshyan fought together.
"Thank you, Brother Titus, for letting us give these traitors a good look and let them know the sad consequences of abandoning the light of the throne." "For the Emperor!"
< br>
"For the Emperor."
After confirming that the Ranger Warriors were also in place, Soshyan pulled out the structural diagram near the center from the tactical panel.
The center has three entrances, leading to the armory, the energy control center, and the first public area.
Judging from Huron's path of action, there is a high probability that he will enter from the main public area, which is the path Soshyan took before.
Therefore, he also deployed most of his forces at this entrance - including the ranger warriors, and arranged several small teams to guard the other two entrances.
In numerical terms, the Hurons landed between eight hundred and one thousand men, and their combined number amounted to less than four hundred.
The numerical ratio of 2 to 1 can be described as an absolute disadvantage from a tactical point of view, especially after losing Savita and his black-armored guards, as well as the fearless support of the Eighth Legion. , this disadvantage becomes even greater.
This is the only variable in the plan.
Soshiyang, who was originally full of confidence, also had the idea that the outcome was unpredictable for the first time.
At this time, he turned around and looked at the nuns who were checking their weapons.
After a fierce battle, only four nuns are left, including Adriana Velez.
Noticing Soshyan looking at him, Velez, who was loading bullets, raised his head.
"Chapter Master Soshyan, what's wrong?"
"Sister Adriana Velez, the battle ahead may be extremely dangerous. You and your sisters have prepared for The Emperor has sacrificed enough, and now that there is a chance to retreat, I will arrange it-"
"Chapter Master Soshyan, your words and actions make me very sad and angry."
Adrianna Velez interrupted Soshyan, her eyes widening as her sisters shared the same anger of being scorned.
"We dedicate ourselves to the emperor. This kind of dedication cannot be counted, and we can only rest until death!"
Soshyan looked at him, his shoulders relaxed, and he seemed to be worried. sigh.
“Sister Anna, listen to me, sacrifice is certainly worthy of praise, but many times, only by living can we do more valuable things.”
“In my opinion, the most valuable thing now is The most valuable thing is to kill a few more heretics.”
As she spoke, she thrust the magazine into the gun.
Then she turned around and whispered in a voice that only she could hear:
"Even if you die here."
Then she raised her head and spoke with He said loudly and proudly:
"We don't need any extra care from you, Chapter Commander Soshyan, we will take care of ourselves."
"Okay, I understand."
Soshyan nodded and returned to his post.
At this time, Huron's team has gradually approached the periphery of the center, and the critical moment of the plan is coming.
Suddenly, Talos on the side said:
"Sevita said before leaving that it was time to start screaming."
Soshiyang froze for a moment, clenched his fists, and then released them without any expression.
Talos snorted contemptuously.
"Grand Commander, do you feel uneasy about your conscience?"
Soshiyan did not respond.
“You know, the current appearance of the Eighth Legion was definitely not formed after the Great Rebellion. We have become this ghostly virtue since the return of the original body... Do you think the Emperor doesn’t know this? ? Do you think the brothers of the original body don't know? They all know it, but no one of them really stops it, because they need the weapon called 'Fear', because in this way they can quickly build up this huge empire, so When the Primarch went mad, they kept silent about it, as did the Emperor, and so did the Primarch's brothers. Remember, the Imperium to which you are loyal was never founded on morality! Ha, by the way, they often say, The Primarchs all inherited a certain personality trait from the Emperor. Soshyan, guess which personality trait our Primarch inherited from the Emperor?”
Soshyan's breathing became heavy, and after a few seconds, he nodded slightly.
Talos immediately connected to the Unbound Soul's communication.
"Get Dietrian for me."
"Roger."
Soon, Dietrian's dry voice came to mind.
"Soul Hunter?"
"How many times have I told you, don't call me that, prepare to start screaming."
"Yes."
And Sosh on the side Yang kept questioning himself in his heart.
“Have I crossed the line?”
