Chapter 2165: Winning or losing with one hand
“I——”
After the other party asked, Soshyan was speechless for a moment, Occam then said:
“The more important thing is Yes, I suspect that there may be some people you don't know lurking around you, not Khayon and the others, but another person who may be related to Leman Russ or even other original bodies, and it has shown attacks Xing, I want your wife’s life. If you continue to stay in the maelstrom at this time, I’m afraid something will happen, and you won’t have time to continue to waste it here.”
“Even so, this has nothing to do with Huron. Life or death is still not a big deal. Another person may not be able to quickly integrate the remaining power of the Red Pirates. Your excuse is still far-fetched. Occam, what is your real purpose?”
"Because I have seen the weird powers of Garmo Zejie. Believe me, you definitely don't want him to become powerful. And you can regain the maelstrom and inflict heavy damage to almost wipe out the red pirates. Your achievements are unparalleled in the world. Now, If we go further, I'm afraid some people will not be able to sit still."
Soshiyang narrowed his eyes.
"You still don't want to tell the truth. Controlling war seems to be a lot of fun for you, Occam."
Occam smiled.
“I’m an Alpha, I just make the judgment that I think is the most reasonable.”
"So do you know what you have to lose?"
"Yes."
"What else have you done for Huron besides disinformation?"
" It’s nothing actually. I asked him to save Zhu Fu.”
“What? Save Zhu Fu?”
Huron on the throne widened his eyes in surprise, and Garen on the side was also full of astonishment. Then the Lord of the Maelstrom said frankly:
"I now hope that his head will be cut off by Corsaro, so Then no one will add insult to injury.”
Judas shook his head.
"Two reasons. First, Soshyan would not have expected that you would rescue Zhu Fu, so he would firmly believe that you have changed ships."
Huron finished listening. , nodded.
"This one can be turned around midway, right? And the fleet on the other side of the Savage Crucible should still have the strength to fight."
"Second point, the defeat has been decided, and you don't have to count on the fleet on the other side of the Savage Crucible. , it’s good if half of them can escape. When we have failed, what we have to do is to stop the loss, and saving Zhu Fu is the best way to stop the loss, because he is Abaddon’s man, Garmo Zejie is now Also working under Abadon, Zhu Fu's position in the Black Legion is enough to deter the other party's ambitions. Secondly, Zhu Fu mainly does not have an attack, and the forces surrounding him do not dare to attack, which further reduces the possibility of large-scale internal rebellion. Risk."
"But who is Zhu Fu? How can he avoid adding insult to injury?"
"Zhu Fu is a bad person, but his current status is not what it used to be, and so is the head-snatcher. Considered a relatively large war gang in the Black Legion, as an ambitious warlord, Zhu Fu can no longer act as unscrupulously as when he started, because he has to pay attention to his reputation. If you save him, you will be his savior. Although in Asia There are many ungrateful people in the space, but everyone knows that a person who has no faith, no loyalty, and no bottom line cannot do much and is not worthy of following. Zhu Fu is just a smart man. He wants to To go further, at least not let yourself look like the capricious rats of the Third Legion and the Eighth Legion, and the most important thing for a Khorne is superficial brotherhood and oaths, even if he is the most cunning champion of Khorne, The more modest you are in front of him, the less likely he is to get angry and attack in front of others."
After leaning on the throne and thinking for a moment, Huron nodded.
"What you said makes sense. Judas, why don't you go on that boat? You are my right-hand man. If something happens to you, it will be more painful than cutting off one of my hands." "King of Black Heart, only I can do that." Hold on to Soshyan. Don't worry, if I survive, I will definitely go back to recover."
Huron stood up, walked to Judas, stretched out his hands and held the other man's hand tightly. arm.
"Good brother, you must come back alive! After you come back, I will make you famous throughout the subspace!"
Judas chuckled.
"Fame is meaningless to an Alpha. King Black Heart, I will give you one last piece of advice before you leave. After rescuing Zhu Fu, stop trying to save the troops in the Savage Crucible. You should rush back to New Badab as soon as possible. How far those people escape depends on their luck. Your strength may be hit hard, but you can have a stronger ally. The galaxy is never short of desperate Space Marines, and the decaying Imperium is your strength. Source, as long as you always understand this, the Red Pirates will soon be able to rebuild."
"Ally, you mean."
"The one who gave you two hulks."
Huron suddenly showed a wry smile.
“I’m afraid we are no longer allies now. Blackstone Fortress is gone. What should I do if it wants to recover its debt.”
"It is precisely because the Blackstone Fortress is gone that it will be your staunchest ally. I have investigated something about this existence. It may be the owner of the mysterious soul furnace in the subspace, and you must have the soul furnace." I have heard that the 'contract' is the highest level of restraint in that place. In other words, that being is relatively well-behaved. You owe it a large debt. If you lose power, or die, then it will Isn't it a total loss? It has invested too much in you. Before it can get anything in return, it must ensure that you are still the master of the Red Pirates, so you don't need to be too humble when negotiating with it later. There is a saying. Well, when you owe one gold coin, you are the creditor's slave, but if you owe ten thousand gold coins, then you are the creditor's master."
After hearing this, Huron thought for a moment and nodded. head.
"It seems that I was in a panic before. What you said, brother, really made me realize. Yes, the Red Pirates are not over yet."
"The King of Black Hearts, said That’s it, we’ll see you again.”
After that, Judas turned around and walked towards the door. Huron then stretched out his hand and said from the bottom of his heart that he really couldn’t bear to part with this resourceful intelligence. director.
But Garen beside him immediately reminded him in a low voice.
"King of Black Heart, it's time for us to leave. Don't let down the loyalty of brother Judah. I believe that with his wisdom, he can definitely save the day."
When Judah disappeared into the shadow of the airlock door, Huron sighed and dropped his hands.
"I will remember the lessons of this failure and use encrypted communications to signal the surrounding fleets, and we will evacuate the battlefield immediately."
"Occam, I should be grateful You didn’t really rebel, or should I kill you in the name of rebellion?”
After listening to this, Soshyan really had the urge to chop Fen Tian on the opponent's head. In Soshyan's view, Occam's strategy had to be praised. As long as Huron resolutely executed it, there was a high probability that he would succeed. Able to break free from this hopeless decisive battle.
So he was even more annoyed. He didn't understand what he felt sorry for Ockham about, or was he really wrong?
