Chapter 1945 Pure Weapon
“So, you are afraid of sacrifice?”
Soshiyang was also a little angry this time. He gave in again and again, but the opponent He was still so aggressive, so he retorted:
"Oh? If you don't care about sacrifice, then why don't you fight to the end? Don't you retreat in the end?"
"If you say, you can To destroy Huron, I will not hesitate to sacrifice the entire battle group, because this is what we are born for, our value is war and revenge, and our existence is for death, no matter how much we wander in the void! Years, no matter what difficulties we suffer, we have never forgotten the oath made ten thousand years ago. Our equipment may be poor and our number may be small, but Soshyan, do you still remember what an oath is? I will face it head-on? Enemy of the Emperor, I have no fear or hesitation. Just because He has given me life and strength, I will sacrifice for Him the greatest possible benefit. Even if I can only advance His cause in the slightest, then I will consider myself short-lived. My life is worth it, and I will do my duty. What else can I ask for? So, do you understand why we are here? Because there is a war here, or is it a war that we have not finished? Do you think we are here for you? Honor, shame? These are not worth mentioning. I don’t even care what happened in the past. The so-called glory itself is a trap of vanity. We plunder and harvest just for better killing and Fight, not to look like a fat warlord."
Tyberus's words hit Soshyan like explosive bombs, and when he lowered his arms, he had already turned around.
“Soshiyan, you are smart enough and powerful enough. Your battle group is so glorious and your allies are so many, but you have too many considerations. I cannot judge your considerations. How much is public and how much is selfish? Only you and the Emperor know these issues, and everything you do is under His scrutiny, but at least this time, I am very disappointed in you. "
After saying that, he walked toward the door, followed closely by the other man-eating sharks.
Watching the other party leave, Soshiyang slowly closed his eyes and sat back on the huge throne.
He did not agree with Tiberus's words, but he could not find a reason to refute it.
If Tiberus was a rude man, he could have laughed it off.
If Tyberus was an ignorant person, he would not care about the other party's words.
If Tiberus was a man with ulterior motives, he would be able to fight back immediately.
But, the other party is neither -
He realized that Tiberus is a pure person, an extremely pure Space Marine, and it is difficult for Soshyan to evaluate him. people.
Are your considerations selfish?
Soshiyan thinks that he does not. All his decisions are for the better execution of the interests of the empire. Killing Huron is not the optimal solution. However, in front of a pure space warrior, this The explanation is so cunning.
Yes, Space Marines should not think about these things at all. They only need to kill and revenge, blood for blood and tooth for tooth. Submission is just a by-product of this process.
And Soshyan really cares about the casualties of soldiers. When he saw those casualty numbers, he even hated the expedition. If he hadn't been appointed as the commander of this damn supreme lord, then these Soldiers may not die, but he ignored that the life of a Space Marine is itself a rapid journey towards death. Fighting is their obligation, and death is also their obligation.
This is why he felt that Tiberus was a pure Astartes, because he truly implemented the essence of an Astartes.
So, are your considerations selfish?
Maybe——
It really is, but I don’t want to admit it. After a long time, he opened his eyes, squeezed out a forced smile, and said:
"It's okay, everyone goes to work and ignore them."
Amidst the messy footsteps, everyone left the hall, leaving only Mark and the others.
“You guys should go get ready too.”
Perhaps sensing the fatigue in Soshiyang’s voice, Mark nodded and left the hall with the guards.
Soon, the lights dimmed, leaving only Soshyan sitting quietly in the darkness.
Gradually, an unprecedented sense of loneliness surrounded him. Although he had so many comrades, brothers and friends, Soshiyang found that he could not say anything to anyone in his heart. He now I am particularly eager to have someone who can listen to my defense and talk.
He was even thinking, if he or any of the secrets of the Chapter were exposed, what would seniors or comrades like Magyar, Seth, or Lysander think of him?
Soshyan looked at the empty hall, seeming to be looking for something.
Veronica and Talos were the only two people who could let him speak his mind without any scruples, but they were neither around.
All the strength and wealth seemed to be illusions. Many terrible secrets weighed him down. The responsibility of the expedition was just an inconspicuous stone on this mountain. Even the stronger he became, the more he felt in his heart. He was uneasy, and the large amount of gray marrow awakened by the soldiers was like a hand grabbing his nerves. He seemed to have a lot, but in fact he had almost nothing - everything was a gift, and gifts must come with a price. This was the unbreakable feeling of the Galaxy. principle.
Leaning his head back, the hard metal throne was so cold. Soshyan's joy of victory was useless now, and he was even a little disinterested.
When a person is alone, all kinds of strange thoughts will arise. Maybe when something can no longer be hidden, everyone will leave him. Thinking about it this way, it seems that leaving your destiny to others is not so bad. , at least he no longer needs to endure the dilemma when this possibility occurs.
Soshiyang closed his eyes, and then smiled inexplicably. It was a slightly nervous smile. Even he didn't know why he was laughing or what he was laughing at.
However, time and reality did not allow him to meditate for too long. There were still too many things waiting for him to deal with.
The first is the post-war cleanup. The Red Pirates learned their lesson this time, and the warships that could not be taken away were basically scuttled (exploded). Even if the main body was not completely destroyed, due to the devastating damage to the reactor and engine, The workload of repairing is almost the same as that of rebuilding a ship, so the captured battleships are basically the same as nothing. As for the fallen Space Marines, they can only recover piecemeal armor parts and a few weapons that are not so severely distorted and corroded. The vast majority Still have to be destroyed.
As for the gene seeds of the dead red pirates, even after discarding the obviously mutated and corrupted seeds, less than one-third of the recovered seeds are still left, and it is still a huge and terrifying project. Due to its composition Partly complex, coupled with various possible mutations and contaminations, even if several regiments of pharmacists were added, it would still be several years of work. (At least according to the official statement, checking gene seeds is a very troublesome manual job)
And because the genetic data of some start-up groups is highly confidential, pharmacists also lack control standards to determine whether this type of seed is mutated or contaminated. This is mainly concentrated in the rebellious legions of the Word Bearers, Night Lords and Iron Warriors. .
The seed of the Night Lord, Soshyan, can be handed over privately to Valier for screening, but there is no other way. It can only be sealed and handed over to the biological sages of the Mechanicus for long-term inspection. After all, the potion Teachers also have their own jobs.
After that, Soshyan ordered to collect the wreckage of a destroyed cruiser of the Red Pirates, weld and cast it into a huge space platform, and reassemble the armor and weapons of the Death Chaos Space Marines of the Red Pirates. It was cast as a monument, five hundred meters high and forty meters wide, five in total. It was densely engraved with all the fallen space warriors, technical priests, as well as the crew, technicians, Ecclesiarchy combatants, fighter pilots and apostles who could be found. The name or code name of the army.
Some people think that the crew, pilots and skitarii are just living tools, and their names are just a series of simple numerical codes. There is no need to be engraved with the Space Marines, and Soshiyan's answer It’s a line of text on the monument——
Courage and sacrifice allow mortal bodies to rival gods
