After finishing the 'chat', Soshyan immediately got to the point.
"So, after so long and after reading so much information, what did you find?"
Occam did not answer immediately, just thought for a while, and then pressed his hands On the table, lean forward slightly.
“Chapter Commander, I have indeed discovered something, but you must face a choice. Once you know this matter, it may make you very sad, even painful, but you don’t know it, and you don’t know it yet. It will affect nothing, but it is there, and it will be revealed one day."
After listening, Soshyan crossed his arms and pressed his body back, and the chair made for the Space Marines suddenly disappeared. There was a crunching sound, and then he lowered his head and closed his eyes, seeming to think about it - but the frown showed that he was not in a good mood at this time.
After waiting for half a minute, Occam asked:
"Have you thought about it, Chapter Leader, are you ready to know that name now."
Soshiyang opened his mouth Eyes, a little sad, slowly shook his head.
“That’s all, let’s not talk about it now”
Occam had no expression on his face and just said it lightly.
"Snakes can never be raised until they are mature."
"You don't need to remind me, I think you will always keep an eye on him. I just don't think the two sides have reached the stage of a showdown yet."
Then Soshyan changed the subject.
"Occam, I met a group of people not long ago"
After that, Soshiyang told the story about the poisonous thorns, including the process of meeting Li, and even taking the When it came to the Holy Grail of the Phoenix and the encounter with Fulgrim, Occam listened to the whole process very seriously, but his expression hardly changed.
".What I'm most worried about now is this Li."
Even after Soshyan finished speaking, Occam didn't react at all, only tapping the table with his fingers.
It took more than ten minutes before he said slowly:
“Let’s not talk about Li for now. He involves too many forces and relationships. I’m trying to use the existing clues to figure it out. It's unrealistic to find out his details. I don't think you need to pay too much attention to him right now, and since he has attracted the attention of Malcador's gang, someone will naturally deal with it. The various issues surrounding you and Gray Marrow are There are many kinds of contradictions. Your power is limited and you must grasp the main contradictions, so what you really need to pay attention to is the Necron. This is probably the reason why those people sent poisonous thorns in front of you. This is a warning to warn you that those aliens may They are beginning to take action. They know that you no longer trust them, so they simply send you a proof. But to change the idea, Soshiyang, instead of waiting for the other party to come, why not take the initiative?"
" Take the initiative? Attack? ”
"The Necrons have plans and intentions for Gray Marrow. In fact, I have already had a hunch. Ever since they gave me the cube, these aliens have been fiddling with their plans. But in the same way, why can't we study them in reverse? For example Study how to use gray marrow to control them? If we progress faster than them, then who is the prey and who is the hunter? "
Soshyan rubbed his chin, thinking about Occam's words, okay? After a while, he said:
"Then what do you think we should do?"
Occam said meaningfully.
“Be your Phoenix King.”
"You mean to use the power of the Eldar?"
"Now the Necron plan is running ahead. It is very risky to use warriors transplanted with gray marrow to deal with them, and other people, to be honest, on a large scale The Conflict Astartes Chapter has no advantage over the Necron. Even if they win, the losses will be huge. Their weapons are very suitable for dealing with targets like us."
"The Eldar are different?"
“You should know this better than me.”
Soshiyan thought for a moment, and it was indeed true. Ada has been fighting the Necrontyr since ancient times, and they have a lot of respect for these dead remnants. With a deeper understanding, tactics and equipment are more suitable for dealing with these soulless machines. It is not said to be restrained, but it is definitely much more targeted than humans.
The only problem is that the current sparse and dispersed population cannot support Ada's tactical intentions and strategic goals.
Well, eventually it comes back to this, he must thrive and strengthen this lost race like a true Phoenix King.
"I see, so what do you think of the Third Legion?" Occam only said one name.
“Fabius.”
"Fabius? I know he may be involved."
"No, I mean, Fabius will definitely be interested in gray marrow. I have collected some information about him in the past , I am sure that he has been creating something. Maybe he thinks it is perfect, but those so-called perfections are definitely not as good as the gray marrow. After he learned about the gray marrow from Lucius or others, or that After gaining access to the mysterious ability of the Eleventh Legion, he will definitely not be able to control his desires."
"So?"
"So, his goal will be the same as that of the Third Legion. They are not quite consistent. What Fulgrim wants is revenge, or execution of the evil god's will, while Fabius wants plunder and research. The two may be similar in general, so they will cooperate, but in terms of specific execution But there is a huge difference. Fabius will definitely formulate his own plan, and may even operate privately. This is the opportunity, the opportunity to defeat the Third Legion, and the opportunity to capture the Skinner alive."
So. Shi Yang thought for a while and said doubtfully:
"I never said I wanted to capture him alive."
"But you need him, or his skills."
"Talos told you?"
"My own analysis and judgment."
"With what he has done, I will never be able to associate with him, let alone trust him."
"I didn't say you should trust him. There are many ways to use a person to coerce, enslave, and even control. Why do you have to be friends? Soshyan, you always try to make people willing to work with you or help you. , this is your personality charm, but I must say bluntly, this is also a character flaw. You have to understand one thing. In this galaxy, fools, wastes, people with no character, and people who do not believe in their words account for the vast majority. You You can't always stay in the ivory tower you built for yourself. You have to realize that whether you like it or not, you have to be determined to 'use' such people. After using them, they will destroy or discard them like garbage, and your principles The bottom line should be left to the people you care about."
Soshyan looked into Occam's eyes, and after being silent for a few seconds, he said slowly:
"Occam, if I For such a person, will you still sit here and say these words to me? "
Occam met Soshyan's gaze and actually showed a smile and his white teeth.
“Yes, you are right, that’s why so many people are willing to protect you, but there is a price to pay.”
"I will bear the price of all this."
Occam shook his head, but did not explain anymore, just returned to the topic of Fabius.
"Capturing him is not just about using him. If you really want to completely eliminate him, you must do it."
"Why?"
"Because I guess that Fabius can no longer be killed by normal means. I don’t know when, but at the same time, records of his activities appeared in different places. This shows one thing, he is using replicas or clones. Walking in the world, there is no point in just destroying the clone without finding his true body.”
Occam explained this, and Soshyan nodded in approval.
"If this is the case, we can only capture him alive, and then use the clone to trace back his true identity. I understand what are you going to do first?"
Occam blinked He blinked, then smiled and said:
"Take a bath."
Soshiyang was stunned for a moment, and then was amused by the other party's occasional humor.
"Looking at it in the long term, I understand. Is there no problem if I let you out now?"
"No problem."
As he said that, Soshyan stood up.
"Your room is still in the same place. No one has touched it. You must clean up the place. I'll leave first. The warning system outside will be automatically lifted in a few minutes."
