"It's just copying memories. It's such a simple technology. Human beings are really backward."
When she heard Soshyan and the others talking about cloning technology, Veronica couldn't help but show contempt.
Suddenly, a voice sounded.
"Have you heard enough? It's almost time to stop."
The sound came from the crystal, and then Veronica saw a hand reaching out from Soshyan's right side and removing a brand from his body.
The next second, she saw a face with amber skin and a pair of bright eyes.
"What a powerful psyker!"
The moment she looked into each other's eyes, Veronica felt her spirit shaken, and she fell back involuntarily. At the same time, the crystal lost its luster and fell to the ground.
"Okay, just give me a small punishment."
Soshyan sighed softly and shook his head.
Kayan smiled slightly, placed the brand in front of Soshyan, and then sat back in his seat.
"Soshiyang, you are too tolerant of that alien. Don't you feel terrified if you sleep with her every day? You should put her in a cage, otherwise you might cause a lot of trouble."
Talos was as disgusted with the Eldar as ever, and if Soshyan hadn't been there, Veronica's skin might have become part of his cloak.
"She helped me once after all."
"Not killing her is already the greatest gift. What else does she want in return?"
"I promised to let her return to her world safely...Okay, stop talking about this and continue talking about business."
"There's nothing more to say."
Talos shook his head.
"The matter has reached this point. The two sides must have a fight before they can let it go, and it may even be a fight to the death."
"That's not the outcome we want."
Soshyan never intended to start a civil war. Although the Minotaur warband and the power behind it were very hateful, expanding the war would benefit no one, not to mention whether they now have the strength to challenge the High Lords Council.
Even Soshyan himself never thought about becoming the second Huron.
The ultimate goal of everything he does is for the empire and the war group.
"I have sent envoys to Mountain Formation and Baal. I hope it will be effective."
"actually--"
At this time, Sol suddenly spoke.
"You can also send a third team of envoys."
"Where to go?"
"Macragge."
Soshyan thought for a moment, then clapped his hands gently.
"Yes, I overlooked it. The one who has the deepest conflict with the Minotaur Chapter is the Ultramarines. If they knew about it, there is a high probability that they would also denounce the other party, and many sub-groups of the Ultramarines would also respond."
If the three pillars of the empire, the Imperial Fists, the Blood Angels, and the Ultramarines, can all support Soshiyang, then they will not be too passive in public opinion after the war. Even if they take action, the people of Terra will not dare to do so easily.
Label them rebels.
But Saul thought of more than that, he then continued:
"One more thing, Soshyan, do you think their target is really the Weeper? No, if their target is really the Weeper, they will never let anyone alive! Attack another battle group
, this is an absolutely indefensible rebellion. Even if this chapter has been punished to go on the atonement expedition, they are still a loyal chapter of the empire. Even the Minotaur Chapter cannot bear this kind of risk, but not only did they not kill anyone
He silenced them and deliberately released some survivors."
It's not that Soshyan has never thought about this possibility, but he really can't make up his mind, because if he follows this idea, the problem will be very serious.
But once Saul laid out the facts clearly, he couldn't help but think otherwise.
"I believe they must have investigated or scouted the situation of the Suffering Alliance before taking action. They know that if something happens, only the Astral Knights can go to support immediately."
Sol looked at Soshyan and said with certainty:
"Their target is you."
Talos also chimed in.
"Soshyan, you have been in too much limelight recently, and the story of the Battle of Armageddon has spread. I guess some Terra giants are planning to beat you up, or they are planning to do something else to suppress your arrogance.
"
Soshyan was silent for a moment, his brain working rapidly, and he began to analyze the pros and cons.
If you follow this idea, then a huge web of conspiracy will already appear in front of you.
The entire Minotaur warband was dispatched, trapping the Lamenters on the surface of the planet, and then released the battleship, allowing them to return to the fortress to seek help. At this time, the only ones who could support them were the Astral Knights.
A simple analysis of Soshyan's past can tell that he himself will definitely lead the team to provide support.
At this time, the Minotaur will never put its power on the surface of the planet. Anyway, the Wailers who have lost their battleships pose no threat. All their battleships will be ambushed near the planet jump point.
As soon as the Astral Knights' fleet appears, they will use devastating firepower to severely damage the fleet, and then fly away.
At that time, the fleet of the Astral Knights will be in extreme chaos, unable to fight back or collect evidence. When they retrieve the Weeper, they will find that the ground has not been attacked at all, and the so-called attack will probably be reported by various parties.
This kind of rhetoric covers up the past, and naturally the Mechanicus will not force themselves to come forward.
Without evidence, Soshyan could not accuse the Minotaur warband at all, and with the protection of the High Lord of Terra, they could also avoid the investigation of the Inquisition.
So there was only one final result. Soshyan broke his teeth and swallowed them in his stomach. After suffering this big loss, his reputation will be reduced.
And even if Soshyan saw through the opponent's plan, he still had to take people to that place because of Malakin, and in the end he would have to fight the Minotaur warband.
With the current strength of the Astral Knights, there is almost no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation with the Minotaur Chapter.
There is no doubt that this is a combination of conspiracy and scheming. No matter what Soshyan chooses, he cannot avoid this battle.
But the only thing those people may not have expected is that when Soshyan returned from Armageddon, he not only brought his own war group, but also brought the White Templar with him.
This is the variable.
"In this case, there is nothing more to say. The only question now is how to fight and how big to fight."
Soshyan tapped the table twice, and then a huge screen appeared, which marked the location of the Daqia star. It was not very far from the Nessen galaxy, and the subspace voyage only took three to seven days at most by standard Thai standards.
You can get there in time.
"Since we are going to take action, we must fight to death, otherwise there will be more trouble in the future."
Talos's idea was as radical as ever, but Soshyan couldn't do it.
This war can only be a small-scale conflict of a disciplinary nature.
"It is unrealistic and unreasonable to completely eliminate the opponent. It is better to hurt the opponent and let them know that there is a price to pay for sneaky tricks."
Sol's opinion coincides with Soshyan's.
But he also has his own ideas.
"I remember that the Storm Daughter was the original flagship of the Lamenter. If we take it back -"
Upon hearing this, Soshyan immediately smiled and clapped his hands gently.
"Okay, Instructor Sol's idea is good. This is enough to slap those people hard."
Talos's eyes flashed, and then he smiled evilly.
"Yes, it's a good idea."
"That's it. We've decided to assemble our personnel now. We'll set out in two days. As for the specific combat plan -"
