There is no doubt that Valier's words made the atmosphere of the meeting heavy.
Under the current situation, whether it is personnel or ship strength, the current Astral Knights are more than ten times worse than the Red Pirates.
"Valier told the truth. It is true that we cannot defeat the traitor Huron now. If we want to resist his fleet in the void, the entire battle group will cease to exist."
When he said this, there was no expression of frustration or loss on Soshyan's face, only his usual calmness.
Regarding Valier, the "traitor", his heart is still very complicated. From a standpoint, he despises such people. Even though Valier has outstanding skills, the Astral Knights now have more pharmacists.
However, Saul kept persuading him that this man would be of great use, which was the fundamental reason why Soshyan never punished or executed Valier.
Obviously, Thor had foreseen that the Astral Knights would clash with the Red Pirates in the future, but he just didn't expect that Valier's role would be reflected so quickly.
"But we must not sit still and wait for death! They have discovered Nessin IV and will definitely launch a raid here. Even if we leave this planet, they will completely destroy this place. Therefore, Huron must die!"
Soshyan said the next few words categorically, then looked at Sevita and then at Thor.
"Both of them are veteran warriors with long experience. They have fought more battles and encountered more difficulties than me, so I would like to seek their opinions."
Sevatar raised his head slightly, seeming to be looking at the lamp on the ceiling, while Thor lowered his head, seeming to be staring at his boots.
After about ten minutes, Sol spoke first.
"The contrast between the enemy and ourselves is too great, so a head-on confrontation will definitely not work, but as a Chaos Warlord, Huron has more enemies than us. He cannot go out with all his troops just for a ship and an enchanter, even if those things are very important to him."
Soshyan nodded, and Sol continued:
"I have learned a little about Huron during this period. There is no doubt that he is a strong-willed and cunning and suspicious person. This kind of person is like a combination of a wolf and a fox. He will never take action easily, but will only act recklessly.
He kept testing again and again, until he was sure everything was infallible, then he would really show his fangs and claws... For a person like him, honor and dignity are secondary, only the real benefits are obtained.
It is important. If the goal can be achieved without spending a single soldier, he will definitely not do it himself."
"you mean....."
"I guess his next step will be to put pressure on us and force us to hand over what he wants."
"Pressure?"
At this time, Savita withdrew his gaze from the ceiling and joked:
"Don't forget his old profession."
Suoshiyang suddenly understood.
"You mean, he's going to send out pirates?"
At this time Talos also spoke.
"Huron not only has his fleet, but also countless mortal pirates who are attached to him."
Thor nodded.
"Yes, this is what I am worried about. The Nessen galaxy is not an important node. The Imperial Navy does not have much power here. If Huron wants to personally lead the fleet to attack, it will be easier to say. The Empire will quickly invest corresponding forces to fight.
, but if he sends a large number of pirates to harass and attack trade routes, then the empire may not necessarily go to war."
"But the people of Nessen Four are about to suffer..."
Soshyan murmured to himself:
"...Once the trade routes are destroyed, the planetary economy will collapse immediately."
If this situation occurs, Soshyan will be really helpless. After all, it is not realistic for the fleet he has on hand to patrol the entire galaxy.
"And you have to be careful at all times. Once you leave this world, Huron will take revenge immediately."
Sevatar then revealed a more serious possibility.
He leaned back, crossed his hands on the back of his head, and said leisurely:
"Taros, do you still remember the proverb from back home?"
Talos smiled coldly and nodded.
"Of course you remember, it is easy to catch a thief in one day, but it is difficult to prevent a thief in a thousand days."
"so."
Savita tilted her head and squinted at Soshyan.
"To deal with this Pirate King, you can't argue with him. You must make a final decision and kill him completely, or beat him so hard that he never dares to face your flag again."
Soshyan let out a long sigh.
"Easier said than done."
"Didn't you just form an alliance? Call someone."
Soshyan was stunned for a moment, then frowned again.
"Even if we add Lamenters and Ascetics, it will be difficult to fight against Huron's fleet."
Savita straightened her back, jumped up from the back of the chair, then crossed her arms and said with an angry tone:
"Grand Commander Soshyan, why do you always think about fighting against Huron's fleet? After beating the greenskins a few times, you no longer know who you are? Do you think Huron, who has been in the maelstrom for hundreds of years, and that mentally retarded greenskin?
Just like a pirate."
The Crow Prince's words were merciless, and Soshiyang blushed for a moment.
"I, that's not what I meant..."
After muttering a few times, he regained his previous calmness, and in Talos's eyes, he had a new understanding of Soshyan.
Astartes, whether loyal or traitorous, all have strong self-esteem and arrogance, which is why most Astartes find it difficult to accept criticism.
A warrior who can overcome his inner pride and self-esteem undoubtedly possesses the potential of an excellent leader.
In this regard, Soshyan is stronger than Huron.
Since Huron rebelled and accepted the power of the Four Gods, it was difficult for him to listen to the opposition of others. This is also the origin of his title of "tyrant".
Here, Soshyan asked Sevita, who had just mocked him, in a humble tone.
"But the Huron fleet is a gap we can't cross, not even with any tactics, right?"
"If Huron's fleet cannot be defeated, how can you defeat Huron himself?"
Soshyan was stunned for two seconds.
"himself..."
"If that guy Huron was standing in front of you right now, just you and him, both of you, would you have the confidence to unscrew his head?"
Soshyan nodded, but new doubts immediately came to his mind.
"But that's impossible. Huron is not that stupid."
Sevatar nodded.
"Yes, a smart person will definitely not do such a thing, but what if a smart person faces a madman?"
"What's the meaning...."
"If you just sit back and wait for death, you won't be able to defeat Huron even if you rack your brains. He will just crush you one by one like ants. So my opinion is very simple. Let's go find him before he comes!"
Soshyan's eyes widened.
"Are you serious, Cy?"
Sevatar turned his head and looked at Talos.
"You know how to get to Huron's Nest, right?"
Talos nodded.
"Wait, Sai."
Soshyan waved his hand quickly.
"Let me confirm again. Are you saying that we should take the initiative to attack Huron's lair?"
"This is the only way to break the situation."
"But it sounds more like suicide..."
"That's right."
Sevatar snapped his fingers.
"Do you dare to try?"
There was no doubt that Soshyan was not very daring, but when he thought of Huron's overwhelming fleet and the burning scene of Nessen No. 4, he felt courage again.
