Chapter 1607: The End of the Knight
Soshiyang felt that the phrase "when the house leaks and it rains all night" is really suitable for me now. First, Randall died, and then Terra made an inexplicable appointment. , a few days later, bad news came from the Dupont delin family, Grand Duke Olga's life was hanging by a thread.
This stubborn old knight finally forced the doctor to inject himself with strengthening drugs so that he could leave this world sober.
Soshyan had no choice but to use the portal to the heart of the world in Eden Valley opened by Veronica, and then hurried to the Dupondlin family's knight fortress in the Bracato system to see this person. The last meeting of an old man.
When he arrived outside old Olga’s palace, the men and women of the family had gathered outside the door. Most of Olga’s adopted sons had married and had many offspring. When they arrived at Soshyan, they all consciously got out of the way.
In the palace, only Mathias and Offor were kneeling beside Olga's bed, and the old knight had already sat up, leaning on the bedside. The life-support device that had been inserted into him had been removed, because It's no longer necessary.
When the effect of the medicine wears off, Olga will also return to the throne.
I haven’t seen this old guy for a long time. Soshyan can hardly recognize him. Not only is his hair gray, but his whole body is as withered as a mummy. His skin is full of wrinkles and his shoulders are so thin that they can hardly hang on. Pale robe.
Hearing the heavy footsteps, Olga turned his head slightly. The moment he saw Soshyan, his cloudy eyes suddenly became clear.
"Soshiyan. Chapter leader."
His voice was weak and hoarse, and when he stretched out his hand tremblingly, Soshyan quickened his pace, and then held the other person's arm that could barely hold him.
“Old friend, I’m here.”
In fact, it’s not that Soshyan didn’t think about asking Veronica to find a way to save Olga’s life, but Veronica was The breath of death was smelled outside the palace. She told Soshyan that Olga was not only a physical body, but his soul was also wiped out and became extremely weak. This may be related to some of the operating principles of the Mechanical Throne, at least her current power. It's helpless.
Olga looked at Soshyan and suddenly showed a calm smile.
“Chapter Commander, I have thought about countless ways to die in the past, dying gloriously on the battlefield, or dying alone in the cold void. But I never thought I would end up like a mother in the hospital bed. We are all waiting to die.”
"Leaving surrounded by your family is a reward given to you by the emperor."
"Yes, I didn't have such a reward, you gave it to me."
This At this time, Olga's energy seemed to have recovered a lot unexpectedly. He straightened up and looked at Offul.
"Child, please go out first. I have something to say to the Soshiyan Chapter Leader and Mathias."
Ofuor sighed with reluctance, and then He turned around and left the palace, and then the door slammed shut.
Then Olga turned her attention to Soshyan.
"Chapter Commander - I will take the liberty to call you an old friend. When this old guy like me is about to die, I want to get some truth from you."
Request Shi Yang looked down at the other person, then nodded.
"We have always been friends and partners. If you want to ask anything, just say it."
"I still remember the scene when we met on Foren V, the Astral Knights He fell from the sky at the most critical moment, saving me from the fate of being torn to pieces by the greenskins. At first, I just wanted to repay your debt of gratitude, but slowly, I found that by following you, I can continue to win, and you also He led me to win incredible battles again and again, and the battle group that was once dilapidated with only a few dozen people recovered to hundreds of people in such a short period of time. The fleet grew day by day, and even the Mechanicus was worried about it. You opened the door. I am happy to experience and witness all this. However, every time the night is quiet, I will also be a little confused. Are you really just a chapter leader? Are the Astral Knights really what they seem? Are you so normal? Especially the people around you, Captain Talos, Instructor Thor, and even the think tank named Kayan, their language and behavior are completely different from the battle group."
Speaking of this, Olga's voice seemed to be trembling, but he tried to calm it down.
“I know I shouldn’t doubt you, but the less I think about it, the more confusion I have in my mind, and the more strange things I see in the battle group. I never doubt your character and character. Loyal, I just hope that before I leave, I can know what kind of grand goal the Dupont delin family is serving."
Soshiyang was silent for a moment, and finally said to this old friend. After revealing some of the secrets of the Eleventh Legion and Chapter, including his acceptance of some renegade Space Marines, he believed that his friend could make his own judgment.
After hearing this, Olga was shocked at first, but gradually, a smile appeared on his face. "That's it, that's it"
After murmuring twice, he stretched out his hand and gently patted the face of Mathias, who was frozen in place. He seemed to have not yet woken up from the shocking content.
"Uh-huh, father"
"Madias, are you shocked by the words of Chapter Commander Soshyan?"
Madias bowed slightly head.
“Yes, Father.”
The smile on Olga's face gradually faded and was replaced by seriousness.
"Madias, you have to remember that the Dubandlin family did not exist before they met the Astral Knights. I am just a lonely free blade, and you are just a group of people. Orphans shivering in hunger and cold, this family can be born and strong. Everything does not depend on me, let alone you. Do you know who it depends on? "
Mathias turned his head and looked up. He glanced at Soshyan, then nodded.
“Yes, Father, I know it very well.”
“Then as the new High King, what should you do?”
Mathias stood up, turned to Soshyan, and knelt down on one knee without any hesitation.
"Commander of the Soshyan Legion, the Dupont delin family will always be loyal to you and the Eleventh Legion, and our spears and shields will always serve you."
Sosh Yang nodded and said nothing.
At this time, Olga suddenly coughed several times, and then gasped violently. Mathias rushed to his bedside.
"Father, are you okay! I'll call the doctor!"
"Scream!"
Olga pushed her adopted son away.
"Crying like a girl, hurry up and prepare what you have to prepare! At this last moment, I still have something to say to the Soshiyang Chapter Commander alone."
Mathias was stunned for a moment, then wiped away his tears, stood up and left the palace silently.
After he left, Olga sighed softly.
"Madias is very capable and ambitious, but I believe you, Chapter Master, can control him, and he can become the sharpest spear in your hand."
At this time, his The voice had become as weak and old as it was at first, and then he pointed to a vase not far away that was as tall as one person.
"Chapter Commander, pour out the contents of the vase."
Soshiyang walked over and turned the huge vase over, and a scroll fell out with a clang.
