Chapter 1711 Assassination
With Soshyan cleverly avoiding the sensitive question, Bertus Willibald was silent for a moment, and then said:
“Why don’t you send out troops to rescue the team? The Erkeria system? That is the gateway to Angstrom. If this place falls, we must face the threat of the red pirates."
"I can only say sorry for this, but the expeditionary force was stronger before. It is indeed insufficient. The Astra Militarum provided by the Ministry of Military Affairs has been delayed in arriving, and the Navy has been delayed again and again. By the time these forces are basically in place, Korkeria has fallen. However, with Angstrom's full assistance, The premise that I am confident of quickly regaining Colkria is that I hope that the imperial troops can enter the Angstrom system, which is a key springboard for the attack."
"This——"
The great sage showed his resistance visibly.
"The sacred land of Angstrom has never allowed any army to set foot."
"It is okay to open the space domain and allow imperial troops to be stationed on satellites or other planets. This can also Protect the Forge World from the Red Pirates."
"So what does the Commander-in-Chief want us to do?"
"It is very simple, provide sufficient equipment, supplies and ammunition for the expeditionary force's frontline troops. Supplies, and if convenient, hope to use the power of the Death Gaze Legion to destroy the heretics.”
"Our defense pressure is very high now, I'm afraid-"
"I can send the Black Templars to the Angstrom system. I believe they can relieve your defense pressure."
"We can take responsibility for our own defense without wasting the precious strength of the expeditionary force. As for equipment and supplies, we will try our best to provide them as much as possible. We only hope that you can send a fleet to protect our transportation routes from interference by red pirates. "
Hearing what the other party said, Suoshiyang couldn't help but sneer in his heart. What do these people have in mind? They don't want to help people and they don't want to contribute. If they want to build an independent small kingdom, they still need the imperial fleet to help them. fleet escort.
They really want to take advantage of everything. I'm afraid they plan to continue doing business with the Red Pirates.
Since the other party is like this, he can't be so kind.
"Is your production very tight now?"
"Yes, in order to prepare for war and defense, all production lines have reached their limits.
"But——"
Speaking, Soshyan took a miniature data tablet from Mark's hand, then raised it and shook it
"I have received accusations from some people that a large number of brand-new weapons and equipment of unknown origin have appeared on the heretical side, and some people claim that these weapons and equipment come from Angstrom."
"Rumors, slander! Slander! ”
The Great Sage of Angstrom immediately retorted and turned to the spearhead.
“It must be Reza’s heretics spreading rumors. In fact, Reza’s evil plasma weapons can often be seen among the Red Pirates. They are the complete traitors!”
"Don't get excited yet, you might as well take a look, there is some evidence in it."
With that said, Soshyan handed over the data board. The other party hesitated for a moment, then took it and inserted a probe from his finger into the interface of the data board.
More than ten seconds later, Bertus Willibald's hand suddenly crushed the data tablet. The Terminators around him suddenly turned their heads and activated all the weapons in their hands. The Great Sage's Imperial Guards also reacted immediately, activating their targeting systems and weapon systems, and the atmosphere on both sides suddenly became tense.
"Putting blame on him, framing him on it!" Looking at the great sage, Soshiyang smiled slightly, raised his hand, and the Terminators immediately put away their weapons.
“Great Sage, I don’t mean to accuse Angstrom. I also believe that Omnisiah’s servants must be loyal. The reason why there are these rumors Rumors, I believe it’s because everyone hasn’t witnessed Angstrom’s efforts, and I often tell others that Angstrom will definitely show their loyalty to the empire after the war begins.”
Soshyan's words immediately set Bertus Willibald up. After his observation equipment flashed for a moment, he lowered his voice.
“This is natural, we will always be Omnisiah’s loyal servants.”
“So the best way to dispel these rumors is to assist in the expedition.”
>"Commander Soshiyang, I have received your message. I will explain it to other sages after I go back. If-"
Before he finished speaking, a burst of noise suddenly broke out above everyone's heads. A strong purple light, followed by a violent crackle of electricity, formed a terrifying echo with the flash, and at some point a strong sandstorm had set off.
The next second, the protective cover suddenly failed, and a massive amount of wind and sand instantly flooded the excavation station.
"Alert! Protect the Chapter Leader!"
Maximilian roared and quickly ran towards Soshyan, and the other Terminators immediately moved at top speed.
Knowing that someone was up to something, Suoshiyang immediately pulled out the Holy Flame Sword from his waist and looked at the great sage. However, the other person had long disappeared. Only his staggering back could be seen and he quickly moved towards the stopped people. The aircraft moved, and the Guards kept shooting, but they were not shooting at Soshyan. They seemed to be attacking something else.
“Hahahahaha!! Let’s dance!!!!”
A surly and arrogant laughter suddenly floated in the wind and sand in the sky. Soshiyang narrowed his eyes slightly, and he felt that something was approaching him quickly.
Suddenly, an alarm bell rang in his heart, and then he turned around and waved his sword.
Boom!
Amidst the violent metal collision, the Shengyan sword collided with a long knife, sparks sparking in the yellow sand in the sky.
And behind the knife, Soshyan saw an ugly face.
Or rather than a face, it is more like a eroded pink mask. There is no good skin on it, and it is covered with criss-crossed scars. The entire head is like a rotting corpse, with a pair of green dead fish eyes full of joy. Staring at Soshiyang, it was full of bloodshot eyes. His lipless mouth, grinning from laughter, was covered with needle-like fangs, and a long black tongue kept twitching among the fangs like a snake letter.
The armor on his body is also very strange. It is completely pink flesh color, with almost no metal parts visible. It looks like a melting wax statue, with silent screaming faces all over it, and it keeps changing. , several tubes of different colors wrapped around the armor were connected from the three medicine bottles behind him to his body, and there was always a weird smell surrounding his body.
The weapon he used to attack Soshyan was a bright and shining silver sword. Looking at the weapon for some reason, Soshyan seemed to be able to hear singing, but it soon disappeared. It turned into endless cursing.
With such obvious characteristics, Soshyan no longer needs to guess who he is, because he can only be one person.
"Lucius"
Hearing Soshyan whisper his name, Lucius' mouth opened wider, as if he wanted to split his entire head in two.
