Seeing Occam's appearance of knowing his pearls of wisdom, Soshiyang suddenly developed a mentality that was close to arrogance for no reason, and sneered and said:
"You have a perfect plan, but I can still send a signal to Khan Corsaro, asking him to turn around and hold back Huron at all costs, and I will pursue him from behind."
There was no expression on Occam's face, he just said softly.
"Yes, but the price is that Corsaro will die. Chapter leader, are you willing to accept such a price?"
Soshyan clenched his fists instantly. He really wanted to punch the opponent, but he held back in the end.
"It's just a possibility."
"No, this is inevitable. The Corsaro fleet is the weakest among all fleets. Although Zhufu's fleet does not look strong, Zhufu has his own trump card. He signed a contract with Angras, the greatest demon of Khorne.
By signing the contract, he can summon this terrible helper. It will be very troublesome for Corsaro to deal with this, and with Huron, he will definitely die."
Sosh gritted his teeth angrily, but he had to admit that Occam was right. If he asked Corsaro to hold Huron back, it would be equivalent to asking this brave hunting master to die, because Corsa
Luo will definitely attack Huron at all costs.
"...If, if people like Helbrecht, Lysander, Magyar, or even Seth were to make the decision, then they would undoubtedly choose to sacrifice Corsaro to achieve great things, because in the empire, the so-called sacrifice
It’s just a placebo worth not showing off, let alone sacrificing others, but only you, Chapter Leader Soshiyang…”
Wu Shizhi suddenly showed a meaningful smile.
"It is precisely because of this that I appear in front of you and come back to face you."
Occam's guess was right. He could not accept such a price. After all, the White Scars were one of the founding groups that supported him most at the beginning of the expedition. If something happened to Kosaro Khan, how could he have the face to see Zhu?
Where is the leader of the Ba war?
The enemy who knows you best is the most terrifying enemy.
At a certain moment, he had a real murderous intention towards Occam for the first time.
"Is this a compliment or a ridicule? Occam, you really think I am reluctant to kill you!"
"I'm right here. It's up to you to decide how to deal with it."
Soshyan stared at the other party. In addition to being annoyed, there was another sober thought reminding him that if it weren't for Occam, this expedition would probably still be dragging on. With the empire's unique "efficiency"
There will be no results within a few decades. From this point of view, Occam is undoubtedly the first contributor to the expedition.
For the first time, he realized the meaning of the four words "love and hate", and he also truly realized that the human heart is really much more complicated than he thought.
In the end, Soshyan glanced around helplessly, then pointed at the other party and said in a low tone:
"You win, Occam. For the sake of past achievements and affection, I will not kill you, but you will reflect on your actions in the prison of the Chapter's monastery until you are willing to tell your true intentions.
!I will not let Huron go, New Badab is his burial place! I will prove that your so-called wisdom is just being smart!"
Occam said nothing about this, but smiled slightly.
"Congratulations to you on this great victory, Chapter Master Soshyan."
Soshyan shook his head, turned away, and opened his private communication with Talos.
"Talos, take people to the bridge and take Occam away."
"Huh? Occam? What happened?"
"Ask him yourself."
When Soshyan walked out of the bridge door, everyone looked at him with confusion, because no one heard the sound of fighting even though they were separated by a door.
Under the gaze of everyone, Soshyan's mood worsened, and Yazdan then asked carefully:
"Chapter Master, Huron."
Although he felt extremely ashamed, Soshyan could only bite the bullet and said:
"I've been fooled. There's only one Huron substitute here, and he's already run away."
"this--"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, because they were all used to Soshiyang's judgment and command that almost never made mistakes in the past, and no one reacted this time.
Although Soshiyang's expression is strong now, it is also very ugly, because this is equivalent to the fact that he planned the whole expedition without leaving a trace, but in the end capsized, and he made this judgment in front of everyone
It was said in person, that is to say, the responsibility for Huron's escape was entirely due to his personal error in judgment, which was an extremely huge blow to his reputation.
And what's worse is that he also ordered the Mantis Warriors and Flesh Tearers not to pursue them too deeply, otherwise there might be some room for recovery. But now they must have turned around, how should he explain it then?
Under the gaze of everyone, he was so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in, but he had no choice. This was his responsibility. After all, trusting Occam was also his choice.
He can only take the blame for this.
But there is no point regretting it now. All we can do is try our best to clean up the situation as beautifully as possible. Occam at least explained Huron's subsequent actions, so Soshyan can still respond.
"Mark, send a message to the Eternal Loyalty and ask them to immediately notify Korsaro Khan and ask him to leave the battlefield. The reason is that an unknown number of enemy troops have been detected approaching him. Let him wait for the time being. The follow-up troops will arrive soon.
.”
In fact, these are just deceiving Corsaro Khan to get out of the battle, but there is no way, Huron will definitely not be able to catch him, and he cannot lose another high-ranking commander.
"yes."
After that, Soshyan returned to the flagship without saying a word and commanded the fleet to clear out the remaining enemy forces.
The battle was very clear at this point. After six hours of fierce fighting, two-thirds of the Huron fleet was annihilated on the battlefield, and the remaining third fled. Then the fleet turned to the Kara system, but the red pirates who attacked here
The fleet has also received the news in advance and retreated, and the Corsaro fleet in the distance has launched two gang-hopping and concentrated offensives against Zhufu's flagship, and once approached Zhufu's bridge, but due to the powerful Khorne Archmaan
The existence of Glass was repulsed. When the news of Soshyan came, Corsaro was still a little reluctant. He waited until a fleet actually appeared before he withdrew the fleet, but he did not expect that it turned out to be Huron.
By the time the other party's fleet rendezvoused with Zhu Fu and left, it was already too late.
On the other side of the Savage Crucible, without any support, the Dark Angels and the Unforgiven defeated the space hulk Savage Crucible with their own strength, and surrounded and annihilated most of the Red Pirates' ships, except for one-tenth of the ships.
After escaping, floating red figures can be seen everywhere around the battlefield.
Rough statistics after the war show that on several battlefields, the empire lost a total of 29 main ships, 234 small and medium-sized ships, 34 transport ships, more than 8 million crew members were killed, 1,789 fighter planes of various types were lost, and five fighter pilots were killed.
More than 1,000 people were killed. On the Space Marine side, 891 people were killed in the fighting of jump gangs and anti-skid gangs. In addition, the Mechanicus also lost more than 20,000 technical priests of various types and more than 1.6 million Skitarii.
It is worth mentioning that the Astra Militarum troops on the Moon of Destruction, with a total of 3.5 million defenders and a post-war death toll of more than 2.7 million people, can be said to have withstood the greatest pressure in the entire decisive battle and fought with mortal bodies.
The demons and heretics emerged from the savage crucible, and it was precisely because of their sacrifice that Azrael was able to eliminate the red pirates as a viable force at a relatively small cost. The cost was that many groups were killed until almost all members were killed, such as Thor.
Shiyan paid special attention to the Abu Bakari 310th Infantry Regiment. When the frontline troops collapsed, the regiment withstood the enemy's attacks from three directions and held its position for 5 hours. The regiment leader Arni
He fought hard on the front line until he was seriously injured and fell into coma. If he hadn't been wearing the mysterious hunter armor, he would have been killed long ago. In the end, the entire regiment of 8,133 people, except for a few wounded who were transferred to the rear, was only accompanied by more than a hundred people from the regiment headquarters and Arni's guard company.
The unconscious Arni withdrew from the battlefield. All the remaining battalion-level and company-level officers were killed in the battle. All the soldiers of the combat company and even the logistics soldiers were also killed in the battle. It can be said that the entire organization was completely destroyed.
