Chapter 1081 Ten Years
“Why is she here?”
Just when Soshiyang was confused, he suddenly heard the sound of the cabin door opening in the distance, and before he turned around, he A familiar voice was heard.
"Captain Soshyan, long time no see."
He turned around and saw Velez standing in front of the open hatch, looking at him with a smile.
Her nun armor has become more ornate than when she first encountered it, but it has not become thicker. It is still very close-fitting and can highlight the unique curves of women.
Ten years have passed, but the other person’s shiny blond hair and shiny face have not changed at all.
"Sister Velez, what a surprise."
Soshyan already knew from the report that Velez is now the senior nun of the Order of the Ebony Holy Grail, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad. Maybe she is the youngest nun in the history of the empire, although the other party's theoretical age should be over forty years old.
Then he walked towards the nun, but stopped five meters away from Velez.
"Sorry, I was just about to go greet you in person."
"I came early."
Veletz crossed his hands in front of his belly, and then glanced at Soshyan waist.
Soshiyang also looked down and found that the other person's eyes were resting on the string of rose beads.
This was given to Velez before he left.
The two of them said nothing and remained silent for more than ten seconds. Finally, Soshyan broke the deadlock first.
"Why are you here?"
"Wherever there are enemies of the Emperor, there are us."
Veletz moved his eyes to Soshyan's On his face, he said sternly:
“The war on the Pavilion Star has attracted the attention of many parties. Maybe you have been busy fighting and have not paid attention to the outside world. There are all kinds of voices, and some claim that a new campaign should be launched. expedition to completely eliminate Abaddon. Some people claim that the battle here is a mess. After spending so much time, manpower and material resources, the traitors still cannot be eliminated. There are also many people who suspect that Abaddon is not on the planet at all."
Soshiyang smiled lightly and said:
“I can foresee it, but other people’s comments are worthless in my eyes. I just need to fulfill my duties and that’s enough.”
"Yes."
Veletz nodded seriously.
“So I asked the Ecclesiarchy to launch a holy war against the heretics of the Black Legion, and it was granted.”
"The state religion launched a jihad?"
Hearing this, Soshyan was quite shocked.
The word jihad is not a casual word in the state religion system. Every jihad means that the state religion will truly show their strength, and it is often composed of billions of fanatical believers. The Crusader Army also includes a large number of battle sisters and mercenary "volunteers".
Although the law stipulates that the state religion cannot have adult armed men, it does not say that it is not allowed to use temporary mercenaries. In this war-torn galaxy, the most indispensable thing is people who lick blood with their swords.
Mercenaries may not have any faith at all, but they all fight for wealth, and the most important thing the state religion lacks is wealth. (The description in a short story is that the annual donations received by the Ecclesiarchy from pilgrims are equivalent to the annual income of a sector)
So don't think that the State Church does not have any force except the battle nuns. The astonishing wealth alone determines that the State Church can organize a terrifying army at any time, if they are willing.
However, such power is often extremely difficult to control, because the state religion usually does not have people who are very good at commanding, and believers lack discipline and purpose. Therefore, many jihads are okay at the beginning, but they last a little longer. They will fall into extreme chaos and even cause more trouble to the war situation.
Therefore, most commanders of the empire do not like fanatics to join the war.
Soshyan is no exception.
But Velez’s next words dispelled his concerns.
"It's not a large-scale holy war, it's just a small-scale holy war launched by the Ebony Holy Grail Order in collaboration with several religious worlds."
Veletz stroked his hair beside his ears and said softly:
< br>"Those religious worlds actually just spend money to hire some bounty hunters to hunt down pirates in the interstellar world. They may not be of much use in frontal combat, but they are still useful in helping you deal with the Chaos fleets that are harassing everywhere."< br>
Soshyan nodded.
“Thank you very much.”
Then, he didn't know what to say.
Veletz kept staring at him with watery eyes. After observing the awkward expression on Soshyan's face, he immediately took two steps forward, so that the distance between the two was less than one foot. rice.
Then, the nun asked in a very low voice, like a clear song.
"How are you lately? Are you injured?"
"They are all small characters and they can't hurt me, but this war is cruel and many soldiers have been sacrificed. ”
"It is commendable to sacrifice one's life for the emperor's will."
Suddenly, Velez changed the topic.
"By the way, where is that one?"
"Ah, who?"
As the nun's eyes flickered, her eyes kept scanning Soshiyang's face. Passed by, and then smiled warmly:
"Of course she is the one who saved me." "Oh, ah, she, she works in the monastery fortress, a very ordinary job"
"Yes."
Veletz nodded slightly, and then took a few steps forward to a position parallel to Soshyan.
“That’s such a pity, I want to thank her again.”
"There will be opportunities in the future, yes."
But he didn't notice that Velez sniffed slightly, and his face suddenly darkened.
"Let's do this for now. The monastery still has some things to arrange. I will come to you later to discuss the next battle plan, Soshiyang Chapter Commander."
After that, Velez turned and left the passage with crisp steps, leaving Soshyan looking at her back in confusion.
“Why does it feel like her tone is a little angry? Is it my imagination?”
Soshiyang shook his head. With the other party's interference, his mood became strange that day. If he had new reinforcements, the next battle would be much easier.
After discussing with Lothar, he returned to his personal cabin as usual.
But this time, the door opened normally, but——
"Huh?"
As soon as the door opened, a desk lamp came to the face, Soshiyang Then he raised his hand and grabbed the lamp.
"Hey, you-"
Before he finished speaking, a book flew over, then a skull candlestick, and then a metal cup.
The clutter of various debris directly drowned Soshiyang, and there was also an angry voice mixed in.
"Go to hell! Go to hell! Go to hell!"
Veronica in the room seemed to be furious, her face was ashen, her whole body was suspended on the ground, her long hair and dress were also There was no wind, and all kinds of debris surrounded her, and they kept flying towards Soshiyang.
Soshiyang could only use his arms to block the flying "bullets", but he was still pushed out of the door.
"Stop being ridiculous! I told you not to use psychic powers here, in case someone finds out——"
"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Go and find it. Your Velez!"
"What does this have to do with her?"
"Let Isa punish you!"
A flash of green light flashed, Soshyan was pushed out several meters away, and then the door slammed shut.
“What kind of nerve is this?”
Soshiyang felt that today was really baffling. Just when he was picking up the debris scattered on the floor of the passage, a Big hands held his shoulders from behind.
"Let me help you."
Kayan said with a smile, and then bent down to clean the ground with Soshyan.
"That's how the Ada people are. Jealousy is almost their nature, and they value the loyalty of their partners very seriously. Do you know, before I met Nefertari, there were actually many female servants and slaves on my ship. But she disappeared after she came, and there is almost no woman on my ship.”
After picking up the things, Kayan looked at Soshyan with a depressed look.
“Do you know why?”
“Why.”
“Because she killed them all and used various methods, and I couldn’t stop them. Live.”
Soshyan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
"She and I are not in the same relationship as you. I only brought her with me because of a promise."
Then he paused and added softly.
".And she is not a Dark Eldar."
Kayon smiled, a smile from the bottom of his heart.
"Haha, should I say that you are deceiving yourself or others, or should I say that you are naive? There is no such thing as the Dark Spirit Clan or the Ark Spirit Clan. The Spirit Clan is the Spirit Clan, but they live in different environments. Their essence is the same. One party is not very restrained, but the other party knows how to be restrained."
Soshiyang sighed softly.
“If you don’t talk about this anymore, do you have anything else to do with me?”
“Yes, this matter is very important. You must remember that someone asked me to convey it. "
After speaking, Kayon's expression became serious.
"No matter how the battle develops later, never face Abaddon! Especially when you are alone! Remember!"
