After closing the communication with the Grea representative, Soshyan looked at the fourth company commander of the Lamenters and asked:
"Do you know how many troops the Weeper sent out this time?"
Taimur thought for a moment, then shook his head.
"I can't be sure, but I know they came with a whole fleet, which should be the strength of the entire battle group, so I suspect they came in full force."
As he spoke, he took out a data pad.
"We have a record of all the warships involved in this engagement."
Soshyan took it and took a look, and was immediately surprised. There were as many as thirteen Minotaur warships participating in the attack this time, including the heavy assault carrier Force of Daedalus, the flagship of the Chapter, and the Minotaur warships from the previous attack. The Weeper captures the battle barge Stormmaiden, the Brass Doctrine, and more
Four strike cruisers, seven destroyers and frigates.
Indeed, as Taimur said, the Minotaurs may have come in full force!
If so, then things are very strange.
Knowing that there was something fishy about this matter, Soshyan first comforted Taimur and told him that all the battle groups of the Suffering Alliance would abide by the covenant and would rescue Malakin and the others no matter what.
He then asked the weepers not to publicize the matter until he made a plan before taking action.
Taimur also trusted Soshyan, so he took his men back to the fortress to heal and rest.
Soshyan immediately sent a message to Magyar, who was operating outside the galaxy, asking him to return to the fortress quickly, but it obviously took time.
The Ranger Warrior is currently out of the Storm Star Territory due to a mission related to the Rogue Traders, and therefore cannot be contacted.
After doing this, Soshyan did not summon everyone immediately. Instead, he returned to his room and thought about the whole thing carefully.
There are many doubts about the whole incident, but there are mainly three points.
First of all, why did the Minotaur attack the Weeper? If it was an old grudge, then why at this point in time?
Secondly, even if they really want to attack the Weepers, there is no need to send out all the troops. Not only will the action be obvious, but it will also be easier to confirm the facts. What's more, if they can only deal with less than 300 people, they will send out a thousand people. I'm afraid it will be too much to say. Not nice.
Last but not least, what is their purpose? If we want to eliminate the Weeper, then this is not a good time, because this is just a very ordinary investigation and clearance task. If you think about it, you know that all the Weeper will not be dispatched, and they will definitely stay in the fortress. Quite a few troops.
If their purpose was only to target Malakin, then why did they put him on the ground before attacking?
After Soshyan saw the size of the fleet, he realized that it would be very easy for them to destroy the Mother of Tears in the void.
Although he hasn't figured out the joints yet, he has already noticed that the whole incident is filled with an air of conspiracy.
Is it against the Suffering Alliance?
Or do you have other plans?
Another point is that the Minotaur Chapter certainly did not act alone. Judging from their behavior in recent years, they must have been instructed by some high-level forces.
As for what this power is, Soshyan can't guess, but it must be in Terra.
So he immediately made two decisions.
Couriers were sent to Baal and the Mountain Formation in fast starships to inform the two chapter leaders of the matter.
Perhaps it would be several months before the messengers arrived at those places, but Soshyan had to plan ahead because he knew that no matter what he decided next, there would definitely be a storm.
Therefore, we must obtain sufficient support from public opinion to seize the moral high ground.
These things may seem useless, but they can become "powerful". This is also the most important thing Dante taught him.
While he was thinking, Veronica was lying on the sofa looking at him boredly, occasionally rolling a few times, and then staring at Soshyan again.
"Hello!"
Finally, she couldn't hold it back and spoke first.
"Why haven't you spoken since you came back?"
"Something's wrong."
Soshyan sighed softly, collected his thoughts, stood up and prepared to go to the war conference room.
"Just say something if something happens to you. If you don't say anything, who will know that something happened to you? Hey, hey, where are you going?"
"Something's wrong."
"you--"
Staring at Soshyan's back, Veronica was so annoyed that she grabbed the pillow and threw it at it, but the other person still walked out of the bedroom door without looking back.
"I'm so angry! This stupid guy can't even speak! When will the teacher pick me up -"
Thinking of this, Veronica's expression suddenly fell down again, because no matter how she contacted her, she couldn't contact the Arkworld, let alone the Great Prophet.
like.....
It was as if they had abandoned her on purpose.
Although she knew this was impossible, Veronica still felt a little uneasy, as if her teacher was hiding something important from her.
"Forget it, let's see what that stupid guy has to say."
After sitting for a while, Veronica, who was really bored, took out a imaging crystal, then chanted a spell softly, and a slightly blurry picture appeared three meters away from the crystal, accompanied by small but obvious signs. sound.
"——The Minotaur Chapter, interesting, interesting."
Talos's sneer was as representative as ever.
He leaned back and tapped the table gently.
"In ten thousand years, there are actually Astartes who can degenerate to the point of being the lackeys of the corrupt bureaucracy. Empire, Empire, what can I say?"
"The Minotaur Chapter is also extremely famous in the Sun Star Territory."
Randall, who was sitting opposite Talos, whispered thoughtfully:
"In addition to their bad reputation, their internal structure is also quite strange. I have heard a few rumors. For example, the recruitment of new recruits in this chapter is incredibly fast. After every fierce battle, it takes less than ten years to reach full strength, so they are almost always full. is full, and there are rumors that they are recruiting new people
Brainwashing and neurotransformation techniques will be used extensively during transformation, and their exaggeration is almost heretical, but this is not the most mysterious. "
Randall paused and glanced at Soshyan, who waved his hand to indicate for him to continue.
So he went on to say:
"The most mysterious thing is the Chapter Master of the Minotaur. No one has publicly seen what he looks like. Moreover, there are rumors that all the Chapter Masters of the Chapter are almost exactly the same in terms of dressing style and fighting style. I I haven’t seen him in person, so I can’t confirm it, but this rumor has been circulating for at least two hundred years.”
"this--"
After hearing Randall's words, Talos suddenly put away his careless look and looked at Thor with a serious expression.
"Do you remember that thing?"
Thor nodded.
"Full memory clone."
Soshyan looked at Sol.
"What is a full memory clone?"
"This is a product of Fabius Bayer. Most clones can only clone physiological mechanisms, but the clones made by Fabius Bayer can inherit the memory and personality of the cloned person. This is very remarkable. thing."
"you mean--"
Thor shook his head.
"We have no evidence."
