Just as he was talking, Soshyan suddenly felt something. He raised his head and looked at the sky, and saw an angular green Thunderhawk swooping down from the dark yellow sky, falling rapidly as if its engine had failed.
It screamed, wing tips trailing bright, fiery trails.
"They seemed quite anxious,"
Thinking of this, Soshyan immediately summoned his honor guard, while other soldiers continued to clean the battlefield.
Soon the trees were shaking, creating green ripples in the canopy, and a Thunderhawk descended into the forest with the roar of its engines making a soft landing.
The gunboat was parked just outside the busy battlefield, crushing the trees and bushes below like panes of glass.
Soshyan and Talos watched the gunboat descend in silence. Although they already knew who was inside, they were not sure why he came to Vera 3 - a person following with ill intentions always made people fearful.
"Chapter Commander, why are the Dark Angels here?"
Mark on the side suddenly asked, and everyone could hear the confusion in the company commander's tone.
"Are they also here to perform some mission?"
"Whatever their purpose is, it has nothing to do with our mission. We just need to maintain the most basic etiquette."
Soshyan's tone had no fluctuation.
"That's all."
In the distance, the Thunderhawk's hatch hissed, and the gangway slowly descended.
When the interrogation priest Ericon Goldberg strode down the ramp and walked towards Soshyan and his party, Soshyan also stepped forward to greet them.
Although he was not wearing a Terminator, Ericon Goldberg still looked majestic. He was tall and majestic, and his dark green power armor sparkled in the sunlight shining through the leaves. The armor is exquisitely etched with runes and decorated with many holy seals of purity. The bone-white skull on the chest brings the meaning of death.
Soshyan noticed that there was a thick book hanging on the other party's waist, sealed by seals and locks with runes.
As he walked down the ramp, an ornate scepter swayed casually in his right hand.
"Brother of the Dark Angel, Ericon Goldberg."
Soshyan said, standing up straight in front of the visitor and extending his right arm.
"welcome."
The interrogation priest stepped forward and held Soshyan's hand, and then looked at him up and down for a while. His human eye could not keep up with the movement of the enhanced biochemical eye very well, and the result was like looking at an open space. Same as other scenes.
Although Soshyan is only wearing fine power armor, he is still tall and tall, and he also wears a silver-gray robe over his armor, including those of Terminators. This "aesthetic" is similar to that of the First Legion. The interrogating priest was quite surprised.
"Thank you, Chapter Commander Soshyan. Forgive us for our haste and recklessness. We originally hoped to have another more formal meeting with you."
Letting go of Soshyan's hand, the priest glanced around at the carnage in the canyon clearing - dead greenskin bodies everywhere, as well as destroyed buildings and ruins.
"It seems that you have just won a great victory. Congratulations to you and your battle group. If we had arrived earlier, we might have been able to share a little glory."
"Stop talking nonsense and get down to business."
Talos on the side suddenly spoke impatiently.
Ericon Goldberg glanced at him immediately, and the eyes under the skull mask gradually became cold.
"Captain Soshyan, perhaps it's time to put etiquette courses on your group's agenda."
"Come on, who doesn't know what the virtues of Dark Angel are."
"Shut up!"
Soshyan growled and cut off Talos's provocation.
Then he looked at Ericon Goldberg and said in a deep voice:
"Sorry, he is just a little impatient, but I also want to ask, why did you come uninvited?"
"About this matter, I hope to have a private discussion with you, Chapter Commander Soshiyang."
As he spoke, the interrogation priest glanced suggestively at the Thunder Eagle parked not far away.
"no."
This time suddenly Mark walked out.
"We must protect the Chapter Master's safety at all times."
"Don't you still believe in the equally loyal battle brothers? I swear on my honor, I'm just asking a few questions."
Talos, who had long been unable to hold himself back, also stood up.
"You suddenly appeared and put our chapter leader in danger for no reason. Who can believe you? These guys are full of secrets!"
Ericon Goldberg narrowed his eyes and his voice became cold.
"We have no secrets."
"Come on, look at how you look. You wear weird robes every day, carry a strange book, hide your face in the shadows, and talk about things that no one else can understand. Maybe you even do some secrets. circle--"
"Ahem."
Somehow, Soshyan felt his skin was itchy. He coughed a few times and signaled Talos to stop talking.
But the interrogating priest was furious at Talos' words.
He took a step forward and said in a threatening tone:
"I can understand that you are insulting us?"
"If that's what you want to think."
"alright!"
Soshyan interrupted the conflict that was about to break out between the two with a sharp shout, and then he looked at Ericon.
"Okay, let's talk alone."
"Thank you so much."
He said this, but the previous enthusiasm was gone from the voice of the interrogating priest.
The two then entered the Thunderhawk cabin of the Dark Angel.
"Captain Soshyan, did your group encounter any special types of Chaos traitors when attacking the Red Corsairs?"
When Ericon Goldberg asked this question, he seemed very cautious, and every word seemed to have been carefully considered.
Although he knew what the other party was talking about, Soshyan had to pretend to be dumbfounded.
"A special type of Chaos traitor? Brother Ericon, I don't quite understand what you are referring to. Each of the traitors is very strange. From my perspective, they are all very special."
"Well--"
The interrogating priest hesitated for a while, then spoke carefully.
"The one wearing black armor."
"Black armor? I seem to have encountered them. They are traitors to the Mantis Warriors."
"It's not them, it's someone else...the one with a special logo may look like..."
Seeing the interrogating priest's hesitant look, Soshyan grinned.
"By the way, do these traitors have anything to do with your group?"
"It's just related to a certain mission, don't worry about it."
"Well, to be honest, I have not seen the traitor you described, but our soldiers once found a symbol in the traitor's fortress."
Soshyan then described the appearance of the fallen angel's coat of arms.
"It's him...it's really him."
After listening to Soshiyan's description, Ericon Goldberg murmured to himself for a moment, and his original harsh tone softened.
"Captain Soshyan, is it true that no one saw it?"
"We were in the middle of a bloody battle with the red pirates, and we really didn't see those people. The fortress was very large, and the area where the symbols were left happened to be unguarded."
"Didn't they help the Red Pirates attack you?"
"It doesn't seem to be."
The interrogating priest fell silent. He seemed to be thinking and remained motionless. Soshyan also stood patiently opposite him.
After about three minutes, the priest broke the silence.
"Thank you very much, Chapter Commander Soshyan. I hope that the conversation between you and me today can be kept confidential."
"certainly."
After finishing their conversation, the two returned to the open space where they were still confronting each other.
Seemingly disgusted with seeing Talos, the priest directly summoned the five warriors under his command and quickly returned to the sky on the Thunder Eagle.
Twenty minutes later, Unbound Soul sent a message that the Dark Angel had left.
