Chapter 3107 Shocking Bad News
Corresponding to the new arrangements for the archdiocese proposed by Soshiyan, Talos thought for a while and nodded.
“I don’t think there’s a big problem. There are too many Tyranids, and I’m afraid they won’t be able to clear them all in a short while. After this battle, the personnel and fleet were exhausted, and the losses were huge. In a short period of time, It is difficult to organize a new attack, so we can only switch to passive defense."
Then he put on a meaningful smile again.
“But your goal is more than that, right?”
"The Archdiocese hangs alone on the edge of the Storm Star Territory, and it is also the gateway barrier of Zhao-Arkada. If it is lost, the forging world will not be safe, so it must be militarized. At the same time, others may hear it misunderstood , but I think you should understand that I must prepare a way out for the legion."
After that, Soshiyang let out a sigh of relief.
"Taros, have you heard of the Claws of Ashes?"
Taros turned his head and thought for a while, then said:
"It seems a bit impressive, right? , from the Ghoul Stars?”
"Yes, someone attacked Beetan before, saying they were unmarked Space Marines, so I sent the rangers to investigate. At that time, I guessed that this group of people was more likely. But last time, I returned to the royal court, Dora I reported that there is a high probability that they are not this group of people, because they are not that large in number and their equipment is not good. More importantly, they have no signs of leaving the ghoul stars recently. I read the detailed report, and I did not expect that they were actually The original Terran warriors who were exiled by Corax have still stuck to their own path for ten thousand years, even living together with mortals."
As he spoke, Soshyan rubbed his face. .
“I think about it every day, what will happen to the Legion in the future? How far will things develop? Is Gray Marrow a strength or a scourge? What role does he and the pseudo-Makado have for the Legion? What kind of arrangements? These questions are swirling in my mind all the time. I have thought about the best and worst scenarios. Destiny is unpredictable, and the future is unpredictable. I can only try to make some arrangements within my ability. Let's go."
Talos lowered his head, seeming to be staring at his own shadow, and said slowly:
"With your current strength, you don't need to worry so much."
"Yes, of course, even the so-called demon primarch is just a minion in front of me, but as I said, Soshiyang is Soshiyang."
Soshiyang also looked down. own palm.
“I am not fearless, I still have fear in my heart. I am afraid of the disdain and hatred looks from those who are my brothers. I am afraid that my hands will be stained with blood that I should not be stained. I am afraid. The soldiers I regard as children cursed me as a traitor and pointed their weapons at me. Doesn’t it sound hypocritical? I have already reached this point, but I am starting to be timid."
Said, He laughed dryly.
“I suddenly understood the reason why Pseudo Malcador arranged so many ‘tasks’ and ‘routes’ for me. It allowed me to taste the sweet charm of fame and fortune, and at the same time, it also allowed me to swallow the bite of fame and fortune. Bone Taste is really an old man who understands human nature well and likes to play with people's hearts. Once a person is picked up, he can't get down. I am the hero of the empire that everyone is looking for, how can I be the husband of Queen Ada? I am looked up to by countless people? How can the Astartes be a monster who manipulates the power of the Star God? How can I linger in the arms of a woman when I am a bloodless and tearless war machine?
The next moment, he clenched his fist fiercely.
"So, brother, if you kill him, will all these problems be solved?"
Taros raised his head and shook his head.
“It can’t be solved.”
Soshiyang sighed softly and unclenched his fists.
"Yeah, it can't be solved"
"The price you can't bear, they can't bear either." "So I didn't fall out with him, nor did I obey him, but as time went by, I had a hunch that this The game will soon reach the prisoner's dilemma."
Taros stepped forward and put his hands on his shoulders.
“On the contrary, I think it is the existence of Veronica that allows you to jump out of the circle that you could not jump out of at all. When you feel that the road in front of you is not going to work, then change your identity. Change your stance, because people will think about problems according to their own position and role. This is a way to adapt to social structure and organizational operation. I am not saying that it is wrong for the butt to determine the head, but your situation is special. You must have some assurance in your mind.”
"I know all this, but there are some things that I really can't say to anyone else, only you."
As he spoke, Soshyan crossed his arms and held the hands on his shoulders, very seriously Said:
"Brother, you will always be by my side, right?"
Taros nodded.
“I will always be here, brother, life or death.”
As their eyes met, Suoshiyang suddenly felt a warmth in his eyelids, and then two tears fell on the armor's knees, shattering to pieces.
He was stunned for a moment, then wiped his face with the back of his hand, and then smiled bitterly.
“Am I already so sentimental now?”
Talos straightened up with a sad face.
"Nothing to do, I'm just going to see those little bastards."
"Well, you go and do your work."
When Talos walked towards the exit, Soshyan, who had his back turned, did not notice that the other party's shadow suddenly became very long and twisted into a The lanky and hunched figure was tilted at a strange angle, and he stretched out his hand in the direction of Soshyan, as if he wanted to touch something.
As the door opened, all the lights lit up, and the shadows disappeared, leaving only Soshyan who pressed a button on the conference table, and data boards rose up.
He still has many matters to deal with, including various battle reports that require his personal annotation, specific loss statistics of personnel, ammunition, and equipment, the promotion list of new auxiliary officers, commendation orders for outstanding knights, seriously injured stars I don’t have much personal time for my opinions on the list of warriors’ fearless transformation, etc.
One of the issues Soshyan is most concerned about is the casualties of the auxiliary army. In this war in the Westeros galaxy, the number of auxiliary army casualties was as high as 340,000, and 110,000 were seriously injured, including A quarter of them are Pashbandi, and the rest are Vashti. If the previous series of wars are included, the number of casualties of the auxiliary army has reached 620,000. You must know that the total number of casualties before the war was only Many of the 2.5 million auxiliary troops have been wiped out. These people are the backbone of a family, playing the roles of father, son, and brother. But now they are all buried in the teeth and claws of the aliens. Even the corpses are found. Not coming back.
The only thing Soshyan could do was to give their relatives adequate pensions and a dry death notice and condolence letter.
As for the casualties of the militia, it is impossible to calculate detailed figures because the number is too large, but it is six times that of the auxiliary army, and this is still an estimate. Soshyan guessed that the actual number should be about ten times. .
These people cannot leave their names or numbers. Soshiyang has no way of knowing what they have done. All they have left behind is only a vague and cold number, and they cannot even give them some compensation. , because the list of personnel was missing very seriously, and most of their relatives were scattered, we could only give some extra food rations to the relatives of the militiamen we could find according to the existing list, and make arrangements after returning to the hinterland of the archdiocese.
The subspace voyage did not last long. When the fleet returned to the physical universe without any accidents, they were already at the edge of the galaxy where the Cardinal World was located.
However, as soon as communication with the Cardinal World was established, Soshyan received a very urgent message from Ustad, but it was not related to the war here, but from the distant Suffering Alliance——< br>
The monastery fortress of the Ascetic Chapter was attacked by the Eldar, and Chapter Master Magyar was seriously injured!
