Facing Soshyan's question, Talos showed a puzzled expression on his face, and then asked:
"What do you mean?"
"That's right. Well, I don't know what to say. I never thought that I would have descendants, that's all."
Talos spread his hands.
"I haven't been a father either, so it really stumps me if you ask me."
"is not what it means."
"What's so confusing about this? Do you love your wife or not?"
Soshyan nodded silently.
"Then do you love the child you conceived with her?"
He still nodded.
"Then are you willing to risk your life to protect her and your children?"
Still nodding.
"That's it. There's nothing to doubt. Just follow your inner thoughts."
"Not long ago, when we were capturing the Blackstone Fortress, Leman Russ appeared and he wanted to kill Veronica."
Hearing this, Talos showed a surprised expression for the first time.
"Is there such a thing? What's the result?"
"Corax showed up and saved Veronica."
"Two primarchs, one wants to kill and the other wants to save. I know what you are worried about. You definitely can't take her or the Eldar with you to Terra, especially when the Imperial Army is involved. Don't you think you can
You are 100% sure to protect him, but you are separated from her and you are worried about a similar situation happening."
Soshiyang sighed, nodded and said:
"Only with you can I say this with peace of mind."
"Then you can rest assured, I will protect her."
When Talos said this, Soshyan was a little surprised. He did have confidence in Talos's strength, but he didn't think that the opponent could fight against the antibody.
"But."
"I know what you are worried about. Don't worry. Even if the original body does come, I will have a way to deal with it. Besides, you have forgotten someone."
Soshyan knew that Talos was not a big talker. Since the other party said that, he must be somewhat confident. However, he could not think of any way for Talos to deal with the original body. After all, he faced Mo in Comoros.
When Talian was there, Talos's performance didn't seem to be as strong as he said. According to Veronica's description, Talos was beaten to his knees within a few rounds.
However, it was difficult for him to say this, and according to the recent battle report of the 11th Company, it seemed that Talos was indeed much stronger than before.
Soshyan recalled the abnormality that occurred while the other party was being treated in Ulan Huda, and Bangura's hint that Talos might have some secret from the Eighth Legion in the past.
But Talos is the person he absolutely trusts now, and there seems to be no better choice.
It was the other party's last sentence that surprised him.
"Forgot who?"
Talos made a gesture of folding his hands, and Soshyan suddenly nodded in realization.
"Master Shi seems to be real. I almost forgot that he and those electric monks are also going to return to Nathan No. 4. However, this existence is too mysterious, and I don't dare to trust him."
"It doesn't matter whether you believe me or not. If you really have to, he will help, so you don't have to worry."
"Then I'll leave it to you. I'm going to take the first company to Terra this time. Ustad will take care of the war group first. If you need anything, please help him. I think it won't take long this time, but
It takes a long time on the road.”
"Speaking of this matter, you should take the others with you."
"Huh? You mean Sabourin and the others?"
"It's not just them. In fact, many people in the war group want to go to Terra. After all, it is the Throne World. You can't do much by letting them go back now. For the Suffering Alliance, you also have to hand over the rotating leader to Mara.
After Jin took over, they would just stay in the monastery and fortress when they returned."
Soshyan thought about it and found that what Talos said did make sense, and that Terra, as a throne world, is the holy land in the hearts of every Imperial person, and the same is true for Astartes. If you think about it, if you missed it,
, it is indeed a pity.
"That's right. The soldiers have been fighting for several years and are very tired both physically and mentally. Let's consider it a vacation to see the Throne World."
"I will just go back with the Spirit Clan."
Soshyan looked at Talos and suddenly remembered that the other party had an old grudge with Jarn Zhar, the Lord of the Howling Banshee, and then worried that a conflict might break out between the two parties.
But then I thought about it, as the queen, Veronica should be more powerful, and I just need to explain this matter to her.
"That's okay. As long as Veronica returns to the royal court, even if the original body can hardly threaten her, then you can handle the affairs of the monastery fortress on my behalf, including the transformation of new recruits and the construction progress of battleships. Please ask more questions.
Just ask."
Afterwards, Soshyan discussed some future ideas with Talos. He planned to stop the transplantation of gray marrow, but Talos advised him not to do so.
Because once he does this, it is tantamount to assuming a confrontational attitude, which can easily stimulate certain forces and cause them to perform some unpredictable behavior. What Soshyan needs most now is time, do everything possible to gain time, and make
Knowing the extremely relevant truth about gray marrow, the more he understands, the more he will have a response plan and room for maneuver when the entire plan is fully launched in the future.
Soshyan has always suspected that Talos actually knew something. After the other party said this, he was even more convinced of this. At least the other party must know who is leading the entire plan.
But since Talos is unwilling to say it, Soshyan also believes that the other party will definitely not harm him. The only possibility is that the time has not come yet, or once he says it, some person or force may know about it. After all, he has never been in charge of the war group.
Until now, the power he involves is far from being as simple as the material world.
Just when Talos was about to leave, he suddenly slapped his head.
"Ah, there's one more thing. I almost forgot. A few days ago, when the boys were conducting gang-hopping combat training in the Gogotan wilderness, a very obscene-looking boat appeared out of nowhere, and then a
It crashed into the target ship they were using for training and almost exploded the engine. Sablin and the others were so angry that they wanted to open fire and blow up the ship. Guess what happened?"
Soshyan blinked.
"How do you want me to guess?"
"Ha, on board are Rozem and his animal friends, and a short guy, and a whole boatload of compressed towels and stuff."
In an instant, veins bulged from Soshiyang's forehead visibly to the naked eye. He took a breath, ground his teeth, and whispered:
"Where's that bastard?"
"Bring it back."
"Tell him to come over to me right now!"
A few minutes later
"Hey, Chapter Leader, have you eaten?"
Standing obediently on the carpet, Rozim showed a harmless smile while rubbing his hands uneasily.
Soshyan sat on a chair, folded his arms, tilted his head and stared at him with a cold face, saying nothing.
This made Rozim even more panicked. After glancing around, he changed the topic in another direction.
"Sister-in-law, no, isn't here today?"
"Tell me what you came to the Maelstrom to do."
Hearing Soshyan speak, Rozim immediately raised his chest and raised his head, standing straighter than a javelin, and then quickly replied:
"I'm worried that the soldiers' food won't be——"
"Stop fucking farting for me!"
Soshiyang slammed the table and sat up straight, with an obvious anger look on his face.
