Chapter 1160 Everyone has their own reservations
“If any secret is fermented for ten thousand years, no matter what the original intention is, it will deteriorate in the end. I fully understand this.”
Facing When Azrael said this, Soshyan could only remain silent.
The two of them were silent under the dim light, each with their own thoughts, until they were awakened by the distant bell.
That was the big time clock of the orbital station, and it also reminded the two of them that they had been there for an hour.
"Sorry, brother Soshyan, for wasting so much of your time."
In the end, Azrael was the first to speak.
"It doesn't matter, we are battle brothers and we should help each other. The empire is in turmoil now, so we should work together."
"Yes."
Az Riel nodded, and then suddenly said something that made Soshyan almost jump from the ground.
"The Astral Knights are not a sub-group of the Imperial Fists, right."
"Uh, how could it-"
Azrael waved his hand.
“Brother, don’t get me wrong, I don’t mean to accuse you, but I don’t think there is any need to hide it from you. Well, Master Ezekiel has noticed something is wrong with your battle group very early on, especially on the battlefield. Your entire group seems to be enveloped in a huge anti-psychic field. Although it seems very thin due to the distance, it does exist."
This is surprising to Soshyan, because Khayon never said this. Point, either he didn't say it on purpose, or Ezekiel's spiritual energy was extremely powerful and sensitive, or there was something special about it.
"And there's the ship."
Azrael then dropped a bombshell.
"While the keel number cannot be identified, the Sword of Caliban is a Great Crusade-era ship, and its ancient scanning devices have detected a unique set of codes. The Primarch's codes."
Soshyan could only remain silent.
“That set of codes is not in the database, but all the codes have rules. Finally, the technical sergeant calculated that the code represents the number XI.”
Azrael stepped forward and put his right hand on Soshyan's left shoulder.
"No need to be nervous, I have no intention of prying into your secrets, so I will not tell the final conclusion, ever! I just want to say that everything ten thousand years ago is too far away from us, living Do people really have to be haunted and haunted by the ghosts of the past? Gene seeds give us glory and strength, but they also burden us with the complicated and trivial entanglements of the past. I often wonder, are we the shadows of the past? , or the real self at the moment?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his left arm towards Soshyan.
Soshiyan looked at the other party, surprised by Azrael's words. The Supreme Master of the Dark Angels obviously had another side that no one knew about.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found that he had no words. He could only hold the other person's hand and nodded.
"Yes."
Azrael smiled, a very natural smile.
“I hope we can all find our own answers. Goodbye, Brother Soshyan. I hope we can fight side by side one day in the future.”
“Yes, Azrael. Brothers. "
In this way, the two ended their conversation and returned to their respective battle groups, and only the two of them knew what they talked about.
A few days after the meeting between the two, several war groups stationed there held a grand celebration banquet. All Space Marines participated in the banquet. The atmosphere was very harmonious. Soshyan also recounted two war battles with Azrael. The brotherhood of the regiment, and its close attitude made many people raise eyebrows, including the warriors of the Dark Angel. They wondered when their supreme master had a good brother. At this time, the influence of the Pandora Campaign also began to spread within the empire. As the organizer of the campaign, Soshyan's name quickly spread to many worlds and war groups.
One month after the end of the campaign, the reward from Terra arrived.
The focus of this award is, as the judge said, on the Dark Angel.
The High Lord of Terra first praised the Dark Angels for their loyalty and courage, praising them for exerting their ten thousand years of fine traditions and once again severely inflicting heavy losses on the enemies of the Empire, and being the true pillars of the Empire.
He also strongly praised Azrael, the Supreme Master of the Dark Angels, as a hero of the empire and a nemesis of the enemy, and awarded him a sword made by Terran craftsmen. His sword was reforged from an Imperial Guard sword that was damaged during the Battle of Terra. , named the Pai Shang Sword.
At the same time, all the Dark Angels who participated in this battle received a Death Star Battle Medal.
Then the battle commander Soshyan and the Astral Knights came, and there was only a mild word of praise for loyalty and bravery. Soshyan himself received a medal, and the other soldiers did not even get medals.
The White Templar only had commendations. As the Chapter Leader, Randall was not mentioned by name, not to mention medals.
As soon as the news came out, the warriors of the Star Knight were very angry, and Soshyan spent a lot of time to suppress everyone's complaints.
After that, Azrael led the Dark Angels to leave the Pandora Galaxy and head to the nearest recruiting world. They suffered a lot of losses in this battle, nearly two hundred soldiers were killed, and they needed to replenish their troops immediately.
The Astral Knights and White Templars were not much better. The Astral Knights suffered 67 casualties and 3 others entered the Dreadnought, while the White Templars suffered 132 casualties, including 2 company commanders. Therefore, Soshyan asked Randall to return to the home planet to replenish his troops, and after he obtained the flagship, the two sides would meet to discuss how to solve the next problem.
After the White Templar left, the Inquisitor also left the system. At this time, only the last man remained -
The Sisters of the Ebony Holy Grail.
Veletz often appeared next to Soshyan during this period, but in order to prevent Veronica from getting angry all day long, Soshyan avoided contact with her as much as possible - he found that as long as he had contact Velez, Veronica will find out and get mad.
But there is always a time when there is no way to avoid it. Before the Ebony Holy Grail left, Velez invited Soshyan to have dinner.
Considering that the other party had indeed helped a lot, and that he had not taken good care of him during these days, Soshiyang agreed, and then chose a time when no one knew about it to take off his power armor. He put on his robe and took Dietrian's shuttle to the ship of the Order of the Ebony Holy Grail.
This meeting was not complicated, as Velez said it was just an ordinary dinner. The two sat facing each other under candlelight, with only simple food and water on the table.
Velets rarely wore a blue low-cut dress. Although Soshyan didn't pay much attention to it, it has to be said that the years have not left any traces on her body, but it looks even more——< br>
The nun seemed very happy and told Soshyan many things that had happened since she returned to the convent.
Soshyan also informed Velez of the later part of his experience.
However, during this process, Velez would occasionally ask about Veronica's identity in a subtle way, but Soshyan always got around to it.
Three hours passed quickly, and Velez informed Soshyan that the Order had received a new mission to suppress a riot in the religious world and had to leave immediately.
Realizing that the two sides would be separated again and not knowing when they would meet again, Soshyan gave Velez a pendant made of explosive shells before leaving, with an inscription carved by him himself. ——Veronica has one too.
Veletz was very happy and gave Soshyan a golden rose brooch.
After leaving the nun's ship, Soshyan put away his things, took a careful bath for a few hours, and after making sure he wouldn't smell anything, put on a new robe and returned to the bedroom.
He thought he had done everything perfectly, but he didn’t expect that as soon as he opened the door, a pillow hit his face directly, followed by the angry scream of the Eldar girl, which was almost the same as hers Those howling banshees are all of the same kind.
"Get out!!!"
