Hearing Soshyan's advance to Rozim, Ustad didn't know what it meant for a moment. After thinking for a few seconds, he answered ambiguously:
"Rozim...he is a good man, although sometimes..."
"These are things we have to endure. Don't use our standards to demand them. This is inappropriate and unreasonable. When we want to take away something from them, we can try to make them feel more comfortable. This is not weakness.
It’s not indulgence, it’s just a compromise that we have to make to human nature.”
"I'm sorry...I've let you down, Chapter Master."
Soshyan walked over and put his hand on Ustad's shoulder.
"What you did is not bad, but it can be better. As the legion grows stronger, it has become difficult for me to do everything personally. I hope you can share my worries. There are not many people left from the Obsidian Fortress."
There are a few of you, you are all the future pillars of the legion, and you are the one I value especially."
"Chapter Commander, I'm afraid... I'll live up to your expectations."
"If you're afraid, just learn and improve, so that you can become more capable and no longer afraid."
After receiving Soshyan's encouragement, Ustad cheered up again and nodded vigorously.
"I will!"
"Well, you will be responsible for the next series of things to do with the state religion. They are very generous this time. At least there should be no material supply problems here in the cardinal world. Faith Watch is also sponsored by them, so
There will be no problem. The rest of the archdiocese can only take its time. A huge fleet will arrive soon. You first call the deacons for a meeting to get some fresh air. By the way, make arrangements for the berths in the port area in advance.
In addition, this fleet must be kept secret, they will not mark it, and you must make arrangements for this."
"yes!"
After concluding the meeting with Ustad, Soshyan found the Lord of Vidrianburg who had just concluded his investigation against Tyran.
When the two met again, the atmosphere was actually a bit tense and awkward, but fortunately Soshyan was not the kind of person who insisted on saving face. He took the initiative to admit to Vidrian that he was too impulsive at the time and apologized, which made Lord Vidrian
Surprised, after all, in the Astartes culture, admitting one's fault is something that may be more difficult than death.
Not only that, Soshyan also gave the other party a gift, a ceremonial shield made from the skull of a Tyranid brainworm. This rare and extremely dangerous Tyranid creature has not been encountered a few times in the entire empire. Vidry
Lord An was even more surprised when he saw this thing. Soshyan told him that he had killed it himself as an apology for tearing off his shoulder armor last time.
The Lord of Fort Vidrian happily accepted the gift, and the previous conflict between the two was considered settled. Vidrian then shared the results of their investigation with Soshyan.
In fact, there is nothing too new, it's just that these Tyranids contain an extraordinary amount of sulfide, and their devouring cycle is much longer than that of the average Tyranid Hive Fleet, because their capillary towers seem to be able to penetrate deep into the earth's crust.
, absorb various metal elements.
But one thing concerned Soshyan.
It was on the already devoured Sondheim 5 that the Death Watch infiltration team led by Vidrian personally discovered an anomaly. The planet's atmosphere did not seem to have been erased, and the entire planet's surface was shrouded in thick spore clouds.
, when they ventured into the planet's surface, they discovered something shocking.
The planet did not turn into a dead world. Instead, there were a large number of strange landforms composed of chitin, tentacles and spore towers. There were also many clusters on the ground that could shoot out thorns, but strangely there were no Tyranids.
shadow.
Just as the reconnaissance team carefully investigated the situation on the planet, they discovered a terrifying thing. It was a giant cone-shaped structure with a height of more than one thousand meters. It was composed of chitin and soft brain meat. It was visible to the naked eye.
Everyone could see that the surroundings were filled with huge subspace power. Just getting close to them gave the Space Marines a splitting headache. Then a large number of newly hatched Tyranid creatures came directly out of the holes opened in the ground. The Death Watch could only take a few hurried shots.
The spacecraft was evacuated as soon as the photo was taken, and the spacecraft was even attacked by bioplasma that came to the ground when it left orbit.
This thing is very strange. After all, Tai Lun has always eaten wherever he goes, and has never engaged in such "construction" behavior.
But then Soshiyan thought of something. There was a hive fleet codenamed Timitia that seemed to behave this way. The legendary ranger Nightspear had personally investigated it, but Soshiyang said that the Timitia hive fleet
Later, Vidrian said that he had also thought of this. The Watch Fortress Stasis Trench sent out killing teams more than once to try to destroy this creation, but they all ended in failure. The psychic energy emitted by this thing was too powerful.
Soshyan then made a guess that this thing was probably a "lighthouse" or "signal tower."
The Cerberus Hive Fleet and the Timite Hive Fleet may both play the same role - the scouts of the larger Hive Fleet. Once they find a target worth devouring, they will immediately build this kind of
The lighthouse attracts unimaginable swarms of insects to this place with precision.
Such conjectures made both Soshyan and Vidrian tremble with fear. To be able to use a force as large as the Cerberus Hive Fleet as a scout, what kind of terrifying scale and power must be behind it?
Soshyan immediately decided to send a fleet to surprise Sondheim 5 and use the most powerful bipolar torpedo to directly destroy the planet!
But Vidrian told Soshyan that this might not work, because after discovering this thing, he also made a similar judgment, but the ship did not carry the Extermination Order weapon at that time, so he could only turn back to the main force staying in another galaxy.
Where is the ship? Previously, because of the fear of being discovered by the Tyranid fleet, the fleet did not dare to get too close to the galaxy and could only send out a small ship.
But after returning to the fleet, Vidrian was dumbfounded. The astropath and the navigator told him that a strong subspace storm was forming in this area. If they didn't leave quickly, they might not be able to escape.
At the same time, the scan also showed that a Tyranid fleet was approaching here. Realizing that the Tyranids were already prepared, Vidrian wanted to risk his life, but after thinking about it, he gave up. At that time, he thought there would be a chance later.
Talon always lets his guard down.
But as several months passed, although the subspace storm dissipated, a more terrifying subspace shadow appeared. Now nearly half of the star sector was shrouded in the subspace shadow, and the navigators said that there was no need to carry out a subspace jump.
, now they can't even see the road, and can't go to that place at all, and "sail" from the nearest subspace node that can jump to Sondheim 5, at the speed of the imperial ship in the physical universe, at least
