Chapter 1882 Identity Change
". So Sablin and the others may not have served as long as you. They have always grown up in the battle group, which is completely different from the environment you grew up in in the past, although they are related by blood. , but you actually don’t have many similarities. You don’t need to look at each other through the eyes of former legion brothers. Maybe we can find common ground with each other through battles in the future.”
After a long silence, Alvare said. Si whispered:
"What about the long battle and punishment promised by the original body?"
Taros smiled and shook his head.
"You haven't even seen him, so why do you care so much about what he says?"
"But you have seen him, why-"
"Yes, so I have been fighting all my life. , It’s just that the goal of the war has changed. Fighting against the empire is a long war, and fighting against other things is also a long war. The empire is false, which does not mean that those subspace shit are right.”
“But it’s also a long war. You can not take any side."
"Is that different from your previous life? The Star Knights are a good shelter. The empire cannot interfere with us, and Chaos cannot contaminate us. Punishment It’s just that the means are not the goals, not to mention that the empire is already a rotting corpse. What’s the point of punishing the corpse? On the contrary, those degenerates have become cancer, and that is what we should eliminate. Those who succumb to chaos are the real weak.”< br>
Alvarez felt that Talos was confusing concepts, but in a sense it did make sense.
"So. I'm going to join the Astral Knights, right?"
"Well, you can say that."
With a wry smile on his face, Alvare Si touched the silky black hair on his head.
"Destiny is really unpredictable. One second I was a member of the Chaos Warband, and the next second, I suddenly became a so-called loyal warrior of the empire. But to be honest, it is difficult to call this astral knight. I'm loyal, a descendant of the lost legion in the past. I have been curious about what happened to the two lost legions in the past. It seems that there are many secrets in it."
He looked at Talos.
"Soul Hunter, I still want to know what you really think. Does the Legion really have no future? Do we really have to rely on others forever? And with the appearance of Ulan Huda, I feel It's not that simple. Is there anything you haven't told me? Is it related to the original body? You were one of the people closest to his death. Did he leave any last words?"
"Yours? There are too many questions, but your current identity and level don’t require you to know that much.”
Taros turned around and walked towards the door.
"You will know this when I think you are qualified. Also, don't call me Soul Hunter again. Soul Hunter died a long time ago."
Looking at the other person's retreating back, Alvarez sighed softly, not knowing whether his choice was a blessing or a curse. But at least, he is safe and does not have to worry about life and death every day.
At this time, neither of the warring parties realized that a demon prince had been caught. All attention was focused on two directions. Angstrom was red. While the pirates are under heavy siege, the expeditionary force and the red pirates will also set off a new and more brutal confrontation around Old Badab.
As the heart of the Huron Kingdom in the past, Old Badab once had the extremely magnificent galaxy-level defense system "Ring of Steel" and more than six habitable worlds. It was the undisputed political power of the Maelstrom region. Economic, trade and military center.
But at the end of the Badab War, with the siege of the imperial army, the Ring of Steel was torn apart, and all settlements suffered retaliatory massacres. The once prosperous galaxy turned into a huge ruin. The warriors looked at the imperial flag rising again and could only survive in the wasteland they called "home".
However, the irony is that decades later, the resurgent Huron returned again. He once again swept away the Badab galaxy with thunderous power, and hundreds of millions of people died in a series of attacks.
After regaining control of Badab, Huron began the reconstruction work. First of all, he learned the lesson from the breach of the Ring of Steel. He no longer built the system defense as a whole, but integrated the former Ring of Steel. The remaining parts of the ring were recycled to form three small planet-ring defenses. One was deployed on Badab VI. It was here that the Imperial Army discovered the weakness of the Ring of Steel and breached the outpost in the planet's orbit, causing the entire The system defense failed, and the second one was deployed on the planet Secundus (Badaab III), which was also the place where Huron was born and supported him extremely.
During the Badab War, the residents of Secundus resisted the Imperial army with all their might, and even the Planet Governor was nailed alive to the church by the Minotaur Chapter Master and did not give in (the Minotaur almost killed all the capable Chaos at that time) Even after falling into Chaos, Huron still had some feelings for this world, so the planet also became an important defensive base for the Red Pirates in Badab.
The last one is naturally Badab Prime.
In Huron's vision, after switching from the original comprehensive defense to the key defense, Badab's defense system will not be as it was in the past, where the enemy will break through a little and then lose everything. As long as it cooperates with the galaxy fleet , is enough to resist another counterattack by the empire, so he mainly builds the three planets that are focused on defense, and the other planets are directly rewarded to his subordinates as territories or turned into pirate stars.
However, when the Empire launched an expedition and Honso was sent to defend Badab, he immediately discovered the weakness in Huron's deployment.
Badab VI is too far away from other worlds. Although it has a solid orbital ring defense, it will still be difficult to rescue once it is besieged. Even the fleet going to the rescue may be ambushed by the enemy's encirclement and reinforcement tactics.
Honso was very smart and did not directly say to give up Badab No. 6, because he knew that Huron would definitely be reluctant to part with it, so he continued to mobilize the local garrison and equipment during the period of presiding over Badab. And packed a large number of red pirate leaders and generals who did not obey the command there, and he focused on strengthening the planets Secundes and Badab.
But in fact, in Honso's view, it is impossible to defend the planet Secundes. Once the imperial army gains naval superiority, those orbital fortifications cannot even be called a timely help, and can only be regarded as a desperate struggle.
In his opinion, the outcome of the battle was not decided in Badab, but in the distant Angstrom. What Honso had to do was to find ways to delay it. The longer the delay, the better. .
Therefore, all his arrangements are based on the word "drag".
But the word "drag" sounds simple, but in fact there are many ways to do it, and not everyone agrees with Hongsuo's approach——
We are actively preparing for war in the Badab Galaxy At that time, on that busy orbit, a gray-iron-colored cruiser with obvious militarized features stopped in the high orbit of Badab Prime. Its hull was covered with subspace rust and traces of battle. It looked ancient. The history can be traced back to the dark ages of the Horus Heresy, or even before.
