Chapter 1535: Searching for the Home Star
“One last thing, I think you should secretly send an expedition team to find the home star of the Eleventh Legion, although everyone who meets you says that world was destroyed. , but I always feel that it won’t be that simple. Looking at the original body’s attitude towards Xerxes, even if they can’t save him, it won’t be difficult to save his home planet. I suspect that this world is still there, maybe like Ullanor before. If you find that world after being changed, you may be able to find out what Artaxerxes was planning. In addition, I personally recommend leaving this matter to Ulan Huda, Bangura should still be strict with his mouth. "< br>
"Tessifon. What you said seems to be indeed possible. After all, there is the example of Ulanor before, but we have no clues at hand. It seems too possible for Bangura to find it all over the Milky Way. "It's too low."
"Don't underestimate Ulan Huda, who has lived in the ghoul star region for tens of thousands of years. Their intelligence network is much more complicated than you want, and this matter can't be rushed anyway. By the way, don’t your ancestors have a deep relationship with the original body? Maybe your family can have some clues.”
When Talos said this, Soshyan immediately realized that he had indeed ignored it. Got this.
"Okay, but I might not be able to get away for a while after I get back, so I'll bother you to make a trip to Ulan Huda."
"No problem."
Then I asked Shiyang told the story about his negotiation with Ockham again, and Talos raised his eyebrows after listening.
“People say that Alpha only tells the truth in ten words. Do you really want to trust that guy?”
“I didn’t say I trust him, but his talent is very good. Useful.”
"Then how are you going to arrange for him?"
"I plan to let him work as before. He does not need to enter the legion's chain of command. He will only serve as an intelligence master with a single line of contact with me. As for the strength of the troops, I will let him do it himself. Recruitment, as for gene seeds, he has some there, and he also seized a small amount from Huron before, and it's about fifty or sixty people. I can provide battleships and equipment, but all I need is information. "
"Isn't it too much of an investment?"
"It's worth it. Haven't you noticed that we were very passive in intelligence during the several battles with Chaos? It was basically the enemy's actions. We can only deal with it in a hurry. Many times we need to rely on your foresight, but this is not a stable tactical choice. We have already had a conflict with Abaddon once on Paidu, and there will definitely be more conflicts in the future. One-way intelligence is transparent The situation must be changed."
Taros thought for a moment, raised his hand and drank the last bit of wine in the cup, then put down the cup and said:
"How do you guarantee the loyalty of those people?"
"That's what Occam has to worry about."
"How do you guarantee the loyalty of Occam?"
>Soshiyang fell silent, and after a long time, he replied firmly:
"I see people the way they see."
"Yo yo yo, are our legion commanders so confident? Even the original body dare not say that he can spot people accurately."
Talos's words made Soshyan a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and whispered. Said:
"Well, actually it's more than that. Occam gave me something, his action record."
Hearing this, Talos was slightly stunned, and then clicked nodded.
"If this is the case, then you can indeed trust him a little bit. For Alpha, there is almost nothing more important than action records."
Suddenly, Soshyan tilted his body to Talos's side, and then said in a deep voice:
"Brother, there is actually a question I have always wanted to ask you, but I was afraid it would cause some misunderstanding."< br>
“What?”
Soshyan looked at the other party and said seriously:
“Do you think I will be Artaxerxes?”
Faced with this question, Talos did not answer immediately, but blinked and then laughed.
“What do I think?”
“Uh, I’m serious.”
“I know, because of your appearance and what those people said, Even the attitudes of Mortarion and Jaghatai must have made you suspicious, but if you think about it carefully, your parents, your relatives, your comrades, and your brothers, are any of these the same as Artasher? Is it related to the Sith? Not to mention your Eldar wife, you might as well ask her whether she loves you or the original body. I guess she will give you a slap in the face before giving you the answer." "Hmm"
"Wake up, don't let those people pour ecstasy soup on you and make you confused. You were born by your parents, not created by technology. You have your own bloodline, and you can't compete with the guy from the Golden Throne. ! You can't be his son, otherwise where would you put your father and ancestors in the cemetery? I know that you must have some memories that belong to the original body, but that was imposed on you by others, not by you. Damn it! Someone wants to turn you into Artaxerxes! This is the most hateful thing! Not only does it take away a person's body, but also takes away his past and turns what he has experienced into something. Worthless garbage, replaced by another 'greater' thing, disgusting!"
As he spoke, Talos grabbed Soshyan's shoulders and stared into his eyes.
“You must remember that you are Soshyan Alexei. No matter what others tell you, you are Soshyan Alexei! You are an independent and free soul, It is definitely not an attachment to some existence! If someone wants to do this, no matter how righteous he is, no matter what he claims to represent, you must fight to the death! "
Through those somewhat cloudy eyes, Soshiyang saw a rebellious and unyielding soul, a look that would never succumb even if it looked directly at the most terrifying power in the galaxy.
Then he nodded.
"I understand, Talos, I promise you."
At this time, Talos suddenly reached out his hand, patted Soshyan's face gently, and smiled at the unexpected look in his eyes:
< br>"Actually, I know your worries, and I also know that you will definitely be ashamed or even afraid because of the emotion that should not belong to us, but loving something is actually nothing. It is not as scary as you think...if you don't have that little bit Love and involvement, this galaxy is actually the same as the subspace, it is a living hell, and I have been in this hell for ten thousand years."
After saying that, Talos turned around. Leaning lazily on the chair, his head was slightly raised, his eyes were half-squinted, his hands were crossed on his lower abdomen, and his legs were stretched out, just like an old man enjoying the last few rays of sunshine in his life.
"Soshyan, would you like to hear... the story of a sad boy who once wanted to be a hero but ended up becoming a butcher?"
Soshyan was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
The story Talos told was not long, only ten minutes, but it shocked Soshyan greatly. (See Chapters 1222-1223 for details)
"Then..."
He hesitated for a long time, wondering whether he should say that question.
But in the end, he decided to ask.
"...What happened to that mother in the end?"
Talos looked at the darkness outside the window with a calm face and whispered.
“First she went crazy, then she died. Before she died, she found the boy, but the boy thought he was an Astartes, a warrior who shouldn’t have extra emotions, so he didn’t dare to tell her in person. He is her son... He paid the price of hating himself for his whole life."
Soshiyang's throat squirmed for a moment, and then he squeezed out a few words.
“This is not entirely his fault, after all, the Eighth Legion at that time...”
Talos tilted his head slightly and interrupted Soshyan's words.
"There is no need to make excuses anymore. The boy thinks he has become a hero, but in fact he is just a coward. He will always be the boy wandering in the alley at dusk."
So Shi Yang sighed softly, not knowing what to say.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered something and was about to speak, but stopped again. Then he thought that it might be better for Veronica to hand the thing over to Talos herself.
At this time Talos waved his hand.
"Okay, I know you have other things to deal with. I want to be alone for a while. You can go and do your work."
Soshiyang nodded silently, stood up and walked towards the door. When the door opened, He suddenly turned around and saw Talos taking out a box and placing it on the table. Then he opened the box and took out a special cigarette.
Looking at the rising smoke, Shake shook his head helplessly, and Soshiyang turned around and walked out of the hatch.
