Faced with seemingly heart-wrenching words, Soshiyang responded calmly.
"There is no such thing as a lose-lose situation. The mission of the Astartes is sacrifice and dedication. If we can eradicate the enemies of mankind, what does my life and death matter? I am not you, and I will not twist my mission into desire."
Huron laughed again, and there was a hint of sadness in his laughter.
"You are not me, hahaha... You are not me... How much do you know about me!!"
"I don't need to know you, I just need to kill you."
"Soshiyang, don't think that I don't know what you are doing these years. I have also been the leader of the Imperial Chapter. I know better than anyone whether the growth of the Star Knights is normal or not. For example, although the Soul Drinker
There was a rebellion, but as far as I know not all of them rebelled, there were quite a few that didn't, but they disappeared? Can you answer me?"
Faced with Huron's question, Soshyan replied expressionlessly:
"It's just a heretical rumor, and it's not worth proving."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you are really hypocritical. You are quite thick-skinned. I have to admit, you are much better than me in this regard."
"Are you done talking nonsense?"
Squinting his eyes slightly, Huron suddenly opened his arms and said loudly:
"Soshiyan, open your eyes! Look at this galaxy! Look at this empire! We are all warriors loyal to the Lord of Mankind, but is the current decadent empire the country that the emperor expected! I know very well that you also have
Ambition and strength, unwilling to let humanity and the Astartes perish, because we are all similar people! Why should we fight each other and let the silverfish of Terra sit on the high platform?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and clenched his fist excitedly.
"We can unite! Unite! With your power, and my power, we can overthrow Terra's decadent bureaucratic rule and establish a country that truly belongs to the Emperor's ideals! I swear, I will willingly accept it in front of the throne.
All punishments, let the emperor witness the rights and wrongs of my life!"
A mocking smile appeared on Soshiyang's lips.
"Don't sound so righteous Ling Ran, you who colluded with Abaddon are no longer worthy of speaking the word loyalty."
"Abaddon? He is just a tool. The day we establish a new order will be the day he dies."
"Is he a tool, or are you a tool? Or do you think I am a tool too?"
Soshyan waved his hand.
"Stop your poor performance. I have seen many traitors. You are the first person who can act like you. If you didn't become an Astartes, you would definitely be the best stage actor."
Huron dropped his arms and shook his head.
"It's a pity...it's clear that you have insights and wisdom beyond ordinary people, but you are so stubborn."
"Because I know how everything I am today came about. Do you think the empire has wronged you? Without gene seeds and transformation surgeries, you are nothing. Huron, all your identity, status, and even power were given by others.
Yes, you have no right to complain about anything...Yes, I am very dissatisfied with the High Lord's decision, but I will carry it out, because this is the mission, this is the value of my birth as a Space Marine, I know how to
I can do what I need to do within the limits allowed by the rules. I have enough friends and ways to prevent others from finding my troubles. But if you can't do it, you can only pass like a child who can't get a toy.
Breaking the rules to satisfy yourself is the difference between you and me."
Huron stared at Soshyan, the corners of his eyes twitching slightly. At this moment, Talos, who was not far away, suddenly touched Kayon with his shoulder and whispered:
"He is jealous. People like Huron cannot accept that others are better than themselves."
Kayon also chuckled and said:
"It's not so much jealousy as it is inability to accept and disbelief... He must be extremely confused. He is obviously doing similar things, so why do others have different endings from him? And because of this confusion, he fell into anger.
The failure of the Daboo War not only shattered Huron's body, but also shattered his iron will as a Space Marine, which will also be the biggest weakness of his character."
Suddenly, a cruel smile broke out on Huron's face. He raised his arm and seemed to be pointing at Soshyan's forehead.
"I'll have you know that your idea of ​​difference is just an illusion, Soshyan."
After speaking, he seemed to notice Malakin not far behind Soshyan.
"Brother Malaki, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Malakin shook his head.
"We are no longer brothers, Huron."
Rarely, a trace of shame appeared on Huron's face.
"I'm sorry, brothers, my failure has caused you to suffer great shame."
"Shame needs to be washed away with blood."
"No matter what you think of me now, brother, we have known each other since we were company commanders. I know you are a kind and honest person. Although we are on opposite sides, I still don't want you to be deceived."
As he spoke, he looked at Soshyan.
"This man, this hypocritical Soshyan Alexey, will definitely bring you into the same abyss of shame. What he has done is even worse than what I have done in the past! Do you really think he formed the so-called Suffering Alliance?"
Is it for the empire? That is just another copy of the Guardian of the Maelstrom. I dare say he must have unknown ambitions, and it is darker and deeper. He plays tricks on people's hearts - "
After hearing this, Malakin interrupted Huron with a sigh.
"Huron, don't you understand, Soshyan will never be the second you, because -"
"because?"
"Because he is stronger than you and has more power to support him. There are many people standing behind him, and the high lord may not be able to defeat him, but you... are just a loner from the beginning to the end."
Malakin's words surprised Soshyan. It seemed that this old friend knew more about him than he thought -
Or maybe Dante had already told him something?
Huron, who was in the imaging device, was stunned for a moment. He opened his mouth slightly to say something, but closed it again, and then turned his face to the side, as if he had received some message.
When he turned his head back again, he praised Soshyan:
"I didn't expect that you have a clever data craftsman hiding there, who actually resisted the useless code attack and even fought back."
"It's just what comes and goes."
At this time, Huron's image had begun to blur and fade. It was obvious that the other party was closing the communication interface to block the useless code attack.
"Brother Malaki, I will prove you wrong. I am the real strong one."
At the last moment, his almost broken image cast a last glance at Soshyan.
"Soshiyang, that laurel crown is not easy to wear. Just wait, wait for the surprise I have prepared for you..."
Soshyan responded with a sneer:
"The next time we meet, we won't be so far apart, Huron."
The moment the image disappeared, the detection officer sent a message.
"Report! The enemy fleet is turning!"
"Report! A message from Chapter Commander Seth!"
Then, Seth's rough voice sounded from the brass trumpet.
"Ah! Why wait! The enemy is mobilizing, we should take this opportunity to attack immediately!"
Soon Lysander's voice also sounded.
"Commander Soshyan, the enemy seems to be leaving. Do you want to pursue him?"
Soshiyang thought for a moment, picked up the communicator, and turned on the fleet-wide broadcast.
"Don't pursue, don't act without permission, don't leave the formation. It's not time for us to have a decisive battle with the heretics. The opponent must have prepared a backup plan. All warships are on alert and on standby."
About an hour later, the signal of the Red Pirate Fleet completely disappeared from the detection instrument, and Soshyan allowed the fleet to resume its marching queue and continue to move towards the destination of the Sagan system.
