After careful explanation from the Grey Knight's great mentor, Soshiyan finally knew the whole story.
It turns out that the target of the Gray Knight has always been the demon Madell. They plan to seal the demon first and then turn back to deal with Abaddon.
According to Diego, if this demon escapes, the situation of Pai Shangxing will be truly out of control, and at that time, it may not even be of use to the Extinction Order.
But Madell is also plotting against the Grey Knights.
It set up a trap to lure the Grey Knights to the sealed land they thought. Since the Grey Knight had a special way to the demons, Madell alone would not be so embarrassed.
But unexpectedly, this demon had already joined forces with the Black Legion, and the Grey Knights were ambushed by Chaos Space Marines, and the leader was the Black Legion's champion swordsman Teremanon.
The Grey Knights were caught off guard, with heavy casualties. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of Diego, there would be a risk of being wiped out.
"What exactly is Madell? Just a demon deserves such a big fight?"
After listening, Soshiyan expressed his biggest doubts.
"Even priority is ahead of the great enemy Abaddon?"
After Hellard and Diego looked at each other, it was Diego who told the truth.
"It is not a simple demon. Madell's existence is extremely ancient, even earlier than the history of human existence... Everyone knows that demons, especially powerful demons, cannot exist in the physical universe for a long time. Even if summoned in some way, they will continue to weaken over time. It takes a huge price to maintain this existence... This is the essence of demons. They are naturally rejected by the material world and are illusory. Once expelled, they will return to the subspace, but they have not returned to the subspace."
"Madell is different from other demons?"
"Yes, it is different. It does not belong to subspace, nor is it completely illusory... According to records, the earliest monks of the Cultivate spent a huge price to understand some of the secrets of Madell's existence. This demon was also transformed by a certain entity, but when it was transformed, it used some way to leave part of its essence of its material body. This essence became its anchor point in the material world, so that it was not rejected by the material world, so it could exist for a long time in the physical space and not become part of a certain Chaos God. The disadvantage is that once it is exiled, it will be forced to return to its anchor point."
"This situation—"
For some reason, the word Golden Throne suddenly appeared in Soshiyang's mind.
But he wasn't so stupid that he said it.
"Then why didn't you directly seal that... essence?"
Diego shook his head.
"We know that we are hiding here, but we don't know the specific location. After searching for the Cultivation Society for a long time, we found nothing."
“What kind of thing would it be?”
"I don't know, it may be a certain object or a certain crystal. The only confirmed thing in the record is that it is called the Hellfire Stone."
"Hellfire Stone..."
Soshiyang lowered his head slightly and began to digest the information he obtained.
Indeed, a demon prince who can exist in physical space for a long time is an extremely huge threat, and it is understandable that the Gray Knights want to solve it first.
But for Soshiyan, this is just a demon. He believes that it will never make a difference by gathering the power of several battle groups.
"Since it has now joined Abaddon, I believe our goal is consistent."
When Soshiyan said this, he kept looking at Diego and waiting for the other party to express his opinion.
The Grey Knight's great mentor nodded slightly.
“Yes, our goals are consistent.”
After the next words, Soshiyang thought about them for a while, and finally said in a very cautious tone:
"Then next... I hope the Grey Knight Cult can actively cooperate in combat. If I need equipment or troop support, I will arrange the arrangements as much as possible."
"The Cultivate will work together in cooperation next."
Diego said, walking to the strategic desk with holographic images.
“What are the plans now?”
"There is no better plan. We decided to attack Attica and eliminate the Great Raiders as quickly as possible, and drag them down... I'm afraid there will be more trouble."
Diego looked at the strategic situation chart for a while and his brows frowned slightly.
"It will cost a lot of casualties."
"There is no other better way. The subspace rift will not be sealed for a day, and the demons of Pai Shangxing will only continue to increase."
"Speaking of this, we have a secret passage here that quickly reaches the seal of the cracks underground at Attica."
Diego then threw out his plan.
"When you attack on the ground, we enter through the passage and quickly seal the rifts so that the Black Legion will lose the support of the demons."
Soshyang's eyes lit up immediately. He was worried that he didn't know how to arrange the Grey Knights to fight.
After all, their existence is so secretive that it is not suitable to cooperate with the Astral Army in front.
"This method is feasible!"
But then his face darkened again.
"But you just sacrificed so many soldiers, are you in terms of strength..."
Diego smiled slightly.
"Plus, it's enough."
At this time, Azriel also spoke:
"I believe that the ability of the Diago mentor is, he can definitely seal the cracks."
Since Azriel spoke, Soshiyan no longer doubted.
"Okay, that's it, but it still takes a week to launch the battle. The latest batch of starry armies and supplies are about to arrive."
"No problem, just arrange it."
The meeting soon ended in a friendly atmosphere, and each team leader also left the field and returned to his respective battleships. However, Soshiyan met with Mazar and Tetus for a while, mainly due to the situation within the alliance.
Basically nothing happened in the past two years, but something Mazar mentioned attracted Soshiyan's attention.
The think tank of the Blood Angel, Mephisto, arrived at Ness 4 about half a year ago and held a meeting with Malakin. No one knew about the process, but Mephisto seemed very angry. He stayed at Victory for two weeks before leaving. During this period, he also met Magyar and Tetus, but he kept asking the two of them about the situation of the crying people.
According to the navigation records left by the Victory Trace, the opponent's warship did not seem to be heading towards Barr, but was sailing towards the Ghoul Star Zone.
After Mephisto left, Marakin looked worried for a long time. Although he looked gloomy most of the time, it was particularly prominent during that time.
Nothing else is left. The Nest 4 is as peaceful as ever. Thanks to the help of Zhao Akada, the planet's industry has developed rapidly. Several large composite processing plants have begun to be built on the surface, and a new large dock is being built on orbit.
After knowing that everything was fine, Soshiyang said goodbye to his two friends with confidence and returned to the Eternal Loyalty.
He returned to the flagship, first had a meeting with each company commander, explained his next strategic plan, and then met with Kayang and Talos, and talked about his experiences and situations during this period.
After five hours of busyness, he went to the military preparatory room, took off his armor that had been wearing for several months, handed it over to the servants for maintenance, and then returned to his private room in his robe.
However, when he ordered the door to open, he found that it was locked from inside.
"Open the door, Veronica, it's me."
He used the lowest voice as much as possible to pass the message to the person inside.
There was no reply inside, Soshiyang sighed helplessly and said again with tiredness:
"I'm very tired when I open the door."
This time the door opened, Veronica, wearing a light green tulle dress, raised her pretty face and glared at Soshiyang angrily.
"You still know to come back?"
“This is a war.”
Soshiyang shook his head, and then saw that the table in the private room had already been placed with exquisite food.
He opened his mouth and then his face relaxed.
"Thanks."
Veronica snorted lightly, turned around and walked back into the house, Soshiyan followed her in, and the door closed again.
