Soshyan must admit that the Beguiler's plan was successful. Now he is very resistant to the identity of Xerxes, as disgusting as eating a fly.
No one can convince him until he finds a better reason
Loyalty never means being submissive, let alone allowing others to insult or trample on dignity!
Soshiyang first listed two columns, namely enemies and friends. This is his consistent principle of doing things. First figure out who is the enemy and who is a friend, and then decide how to deal with it next. .
In the enemy column, Soshyan wrote a long list of names, including the fallen primarch, Vect of Commorragh, Szarak of the Necrontyr, the Tyranids, and the Hurons. Abaddon, the Lord of the Soul Forge, Lucius, Sarbordon and others also added Li's name at the end.
As for the friend column, he wrote Master Shi, Chagatai Khan, and Saul. After hesitating for a moment, he added Khayon's name. Occam's name was half-written and then deleted, and replaced with " After thinking about it for a while, he added Dante and Azrael, then Ulan Huda and Reza, Zhao... The three forge worlds of Arkada, followed by Efrene of the Ada and the army of the dead she founded.
Then he listed some names that were neither enemies nor friends, or friends and foes that were difficult to distinguish. The first ones were Malcador and Sevatar, then Leman Russ and Corax. , the three primarchs of Dorne. In fact, Soshyan wanted to put Dorne among the enemies, so he tortured so many White Templar warriors with the inferior gray marrow he made, but in the end he still chose to put them among the enemies. Among the neutral targets, there were the Laughing God and Harlequin, Eldra of Uthwe, several Phoenix Lords and large craft worlds, followed by the Hearthborn Alliance, and finally Soshyan added the Void Dragon and after hesitating for a long time. The names of several other Star Gods - Soshyan would have listed them as enemies in the past, but now his vision is not so narrow.
After listing a string of names of people and forces, Soshyan listed two more columns, namely goals and actions.
And generally based on his understanding of these people and forces, he summarizes their goals and behaviors
Because only in this way can he figure out how many of his current friends may be affected by different circumstances. Goals and actions turn into enemies or neutral units. What kind of neutral units will be turned into friends or enemies because of goals and actions. What kind of enemies will be turned into neutral units or even temporary friends.
At the same time, he can also know how to turn as many neutral units as possible into friends.
The most direct way is to unify each other's goals and behaviors.
Soon, complex tables and diagrams were formed. Soshiyang glanced at this large network-like relationship diagram, making rapid calculations and considerations in his mind.
Needless to say, for Ada, it is easy to unify goals and behaviors. Saving Isa is the most unified goal. It can call on almost all Adas, and Veronica can also restrain their behavior. Basically able to achieve unity of goals and behaviors
It’s hard to say what Soshiyan’s goal is for Makado’s gang, but he feels it is difficult to unify unless he is willing to follow their path, so they will transform in the future The probability of becoming an enemy is very high.
Among the several original bodies, it seems that the only one who can fight for it is Corax, because he saved Veronica. Soshyan guessed that he may be with the Bewitcher. Now the Bewitcher still supports him, so what about the two? Even if the goals were unified, he did not show any particular hostility towards Ada or the Eleventh Legion in his behavior, and it was because of Dorn's behavior that Soshyan found it difficult to turn him into a friend.
The Hearthborn, the Hearthborn seem to be a completely intertwined race with Eli. It stands to reason that if someone offers a higher price, they wouldn’t mind being Soshyan’s enemy, but now the Galaxy can afford it more than him. The only one with a higher price is the Empire, but the Empire's consistent approach to foreign races means that they will only push the Hearthborn to the opposite side, which is a good thing.
On the contrary, the Laughing God, this Ada god, must know a lot about Asuryan, but it is difficult for this ghost to show up, and it is even harder to find it, and its behavior and motives are also very mysterious. , but it is after all a member of the former Aida pantheon. If Isha is to be rescued, it stands to reason that it should also support it.
Then Soshyan drew a circle on the name of the Laughing God, This means that it will be a key target.
While Soshiyang was conducting research and thinking, the communicator next to the throne rang, and then Khayon's voice came.
"It's me."
"Come in."
Following Soshyan's instructions, the bridge door opened, and Khayon walked in in a robe. Soshyan's throne turned back and he looked at the other person with a smile.
“Back.”
Kayan nodded, expressionless, but Soshiyang saw the helplessness in the other person's eyes, so he asked cautiously:
"Not pleasant to meet?"
"I Forget it, let's not talk about these things. It's good to know that she is fine. I don't have anything else to ask for. I found out some of the things you asked me to find out about the Third Army."
" Oh, what’s the matter?”
“There are some rumors in the Eye of Terror about the gathering of the Third Legion, but Eidolon is quite tight-lipped, and many of the Slaanesh warbands don’t know either. For the specific reasons, some people even speculated that the Third Legion wanted to launch a new round of challenges to the Black Legion. After all, these two groups had great hatred. I was also a witness to the destruction of the Song City back then. Cloning Horus Abaddon still remembers this incident, but according to some inside information I have, not many people really responded to Eidolon. The more famous ones are Avnus, Balzaft, Demetrius, Electrolux, of course Lucius after his resurrection, and even Balzaft seem to be maintaining verbal support. Eidolon does not have many available troops. After all, many people in the legion are just waiting to see He laughs.”
Soshyan frowned slightly.
"Are you kidding? Aren't they worried about Fulgrim's punishment?"
Kayon spread his hands.
“At least according to the information I received, Fulgrim did not show up. Many Slaanesh warbands do not think that Eidolon is obeying the orders of the original body, or that they selectively let themselves I don’t believe this. After all, Fulgrim hasn’t really managed the legion for many years. In short, you are lucky. Eidolon is in a very embarrassing situation now. He can only play some small plots to deal with you, but if he continues... I think Fulgrim will eventually take action, unless he can endure this humiliation, but the situation may be more serious by then, and the Third Legion may really regroup, and various former Emperor's Children Including the Slaanesh warband that worships Fulgrim, there should still be at least 50,000 to 60,000 people."
Thosh Yang smiled solemnly.
"I'm afraid he won't come, Khayon, I intend to completely destroy Fulgrim."
