If the information Soshiyang read before is correct, then in a sense, the Blood Snake Demon and the Red Pirates are quite similar. They are both pirate mode warbands, but they both have very high rational tactical analysis capabilities and are independent.
Very strong, they all stay away from the Eye of Terror and the Black Legion.
But they should be active in the Baston sector.
"Why are they here?"
"It's hard to say. It may be an exchange of interests or a simple mercenary. And I'm not sure how many blood snake demons have come to the Maelstrom. Huron keeps this kind of core secret very tightly. Every time the agent takes action, he needs to be very careful.
Be careful, in fact I guess he is already alert."
"Then do you need any extra support?"
"Speaking of which..."
Ockham tapped his fingers lightly on the table, thought for a moment, and said:
"We are indeed short of manpower and strength. There is currently a force in the Maelstrom area. If it is used, I am very confident that it can tear Huron's counterintelligence network and intelligence network into pieces."
"What power?"
"Death Cult."
"Death Cult..."
Soshyan was naturally familiar with this organization, and the key point was that he heard what Occam meant.
He wants to control the Death Cult in the Maelstrom area, or be able to dominate them.
This is no small matter.
After thinking for a while, Soshyan said:
"Do you have any idea."
"After my various investigations, I have now learned that the headquarters of the Death Cult is still in Siniax, but it has been moved under the wasteland. There are actually several secret cities underground on that planet, and not many people know about it.
But it is one of the main black markets of the Maelstrom. The temple of the Death Cult of the Maelstrom is hidden in one of the underground cities. They are still loyal to the empire, but they do not trust the imperial institutions very much, but rather trust the Inquisition. Several times
Every famous Grand Inquisitor has a liaison office there."
"So what do you want me to do?"
Occam took out a card and handed it to Soshyan. There was information about a person on it. It belonged to a person named Greta Kit, a jewelry merchant.
"Send him as your contact person to contact the Death Worship Cult. For this matter, I can handle it myself later."
Soshyan glanced at it and said softly;
"no problem."
"That's it. There is other information, please take a look."
Soshyan nodded, picked up the data pad and looked through other contents. He discovered that Occam had even investigated several big nobles in the Sagan system.
"Huh? I didn't expect Stern Vaughan to be related to the Thirty Silver Coin Society? He is involved in pornography, gambling, drugs, human trafficking, and even hooks up with Huron."
"One of his ancestors is still working under Huron. This family's ability to become the most wealthy family in the Sagan galaxy is inseparable from the in-depth cooperation with Star Claw back then. Although they tactfully hid this relationship, Si
Den Vaughn happened to have an illegitimate son who fell into my hands, and I pried out a lot of things. In the past few decades, whenever there were competitors, the Vaughn family would use the power of the red pirates to solve them. They had long been Huron's secret agents.
However, after becoming the head of the family, Stan Vaughn began to deliberately distance himself from the relationship with the Red Pirates, which shows that he is a smart man and knows that there is no benefit to being deeply bound to the Red Pirates. Perhaps he does not want the family to be controlled by the Red Pirates, which is harmful to them.
It’s up to you to decide what plan to implement.”
"Well, I see... Haha, it's not that easy to be a fence-sitter. If he knows what's going on, I might consider letting them go. If he persists, then he will be the first target for surgery.
"
Then he looked at the other families, which were generally similar to what he had learned before, but the Hoyland family had some unexpected gains.
"Hmm? The Hoyland family has been secretly collecting psykers all these years?"
Soshyan frowned and looked at Occam.
"what's the situation?"
"It was also discovered by Sorge that the Hoyland family has been secretly collecting psykers for more than twenty years, and their whereabouts are unknown."
"What are they going to do?"
Occam sneered and said:
"I'm afraid there are people who should end their lives but don't want to be buried in the earth. They have to struggle in the mortal world for a while."
Soshyan thought for a moment and then realized what Occam was referring to.
"You mean that old Marley is using some heretical method to extend his life!?"
"There is a limit to life extension surgery. If you want to break through this limit, the best way is to use taboo methods... In addition, I found out that the old man is actually older than the public. He should have been two years old.
Over a hundred years old."
"This...he is using witchcraft to extend his life. This is a serious heretical crime."
Occam spread his hands.
"No evidence."
Then he changed the subject.
"However, it is easy for such people to go astray. I guess this method of extending life is probably obtained through a deal with Huron. I think you might as well leave this matter to the mad dogs of the Inquisition, so as to give them something to do.
Do."
"But will this affect the subsequent war? After all, the Hoyland family is quite powerful, and I also need their transport fleet."
"You can decide for yourself. Using this handle to control that old thing is also an option."
Then Soshyan and Occam chatted about the situation of various battle groups outside the Maelstrom area. Occam told Soshyan that there was basically no need to count on them. It was not easy for these people to guard Huron's plunder.
Their Soshyan blockade strategy is out of the question. The best strategy now is to maintain their status.
The only one that can be mobilized at the moment is probably Starry Sky Phantom.
But the conversation between Soshyan and Occam was interrupted not long after, because a group of new guests arrived in the Sagan system——
The Tianshi Chapter responded to the call for expedition!
————————
With the arrival of the expedition fleet, the huge cargo port and military port of Sagan Prime were crowded, but today it still freed up several berths to welcome new guests.
The fleet, consisting of the battle barge Serenkai, the strike cruisers Ravi, Kamana and Nubika, and more than a dozen small ships, slowly slid into the berth under the guidance of tugs. They were all closed.
Each ship has no engine and only relies on the gravity pulling device of the tugboat. Each ship has its battle record engraved with huge inscriptions, and there is a huge roaring lion's head mark.
When the warships enter the berth one by one, the fixing device is activated to fix the warships with magnetic locks, and then the channel connection is connected to the warships.
In the huge reception hall No. 1 at the port, Soshyan, who was dressed in ceremonial exquisite armor, had been waiting for a long time. He was surrounded by a company of Terminator Guards, an Imperial Fist company led by Lysander, and Arash and his Honor Guard.
.
Ten minutes later, from outside the open door of the reception hall, Soshyan heard loud footsteps, as if a large army was approaching calmly.
Suddenly, Lysander on the side tilted his head and whispered:
“After a while they may have some strange requests, just say ‘we’ll talk about it later when we have time’.”
Just when Soshyan was confused, a group of soldiers lined up neatly entered the reception hall.
