For Soshyan, the situation at hand is not optimistic at all. Although they defeated a supporting army, the pressure from other directions is still great.
Moreover, the situation on the Dark Angel's side is also very confusing. Randall has not contacted Azrael for a long time. Currently, we only know that they have not captured the besieged enemy.
"...Intensify aerial reconnaissance and send additional people to contact the Dark Angels."
Standing next to a Land Raider, Soshyan took over command from Randall and also took over a bunch of urgent matters.
Although not all of the various reports, requests, and reports needed to be reviewed by him, there were more than a dozen of them that were important. As a result, he did not even go to the battlefield and was dealing with these things as soon as he returned to the front line.
Beside him, there was a typewriter servitor, a servitor carrying a long-distance communication device, as well as priests and technical sergeants.
At this moment, Roglis looked away from his personal portable meditator and looked at Soshyan.
"...the relic has been recovered. It destroyed a Predator and nine hostile Astartes, but was sighted by an Auxiliary tank during the battle."
As he spoke, he handed over a data pad.
"This is their witness report."
Soshyan did not look, but waved his hand.
"Just delete the record."
At this moment, Ustad came over with a few soldiers, and they pushed a staggering figure.
"Let's go! Be honest!"
After getting closer, Soshyan saw that Ustad was holding an iron chain in his hand, and the other end of the chain was tied around the man's neck.
This is a warrior who has been stripped of his power armor. His stone-like face has many criss-crossing scars. One of his eyes has been replaced with a mechanical prosthetic eye. There is also a palm embedded in his gray-haired head. A metal plate the size of a metal plate, and there were several fresh scars on his muscular body, and there were still dried blood stains on the forcibly stripped nerve openings.
This person's shoulders were tied behind his back, and there was an iron chain around his neck, but he still looked unruly. He was growling and twisting his shoulders, trying to break away from the people holding him on his left and right sides. His warrior's palm.
When he was brought to Soshyan, his eyes immediately darkened, as if he realized who was in front of him.
"Chapter Commander, we caught this on the battlefield. He was pressed under the wreckage and pretended to be dead, but was found by the auspicious device. When we found him, he still wanted to resist."
With that said, Ustad turned around and shouted.
"Heretic dog! Don't kneel down yet!"
"snort!"
The man snorted, spat blood on the ground, and turned his head to the right.
Soshyan looked at the other person carefully and saw that the man's face was bruised and bruised, and he also had two big swellings. It was obvious that he had received heavy blows from Ustad and the others.
The power armor on the opponent's lower body was also incomplete, and the armor on his right leg was almost cracked and covered with scorch marks.
"Still cool? Kneel down!"
Seeing that the other person looked unconvinced, Ustad went up and slapped him, knocking out one of his teeth.
But all he got in exchange was a glance of hatred, and the other party didn't even hum.
"Kneel down!!"
The other soldiers were also angry, and they pushed hard on the opponent's shoulders, trying to push the opponent down, but the man still clenched his teeth and stood firm.
Even when people kicked him in the joints, he just shook.
"alright."
Soshyan smiled coldly and raised his hand to signal Ustad and others to stop.
Then he walked up to that person, stared at him with his head tilted, and said:
"Iron warriors, tough guys, tsk tsk, I heard that your battle cry is 'clad in steel armor, with a heart of stone'?"
The man also looked at Suoshiyang up and down for a moment, and then turned his head, still looking like he was indifferent.
"I guess, according to your bad temper, there must be many ways to prevent yourself from being captured, such as preparing a suicide grenade, or hiding deadly poison somewhere? Or just find something to kill yourself. Punctured through the heart? But you didn't do that. When you were in a desperate situation, you chose to pretend to be dead, and you were eventually captured."
Soshyan smiled and put his palm on the other person's left shoulder.
"So I guess you must be a smart person, so you should be able to understand what I mean. After all, smart people are the least likely to die."
The captured Iron Warrior turned his head sharply and stared at Soshiyang, his jaw muscles visible to the naked eye trembling, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
But gradually, his knees bent, and bit by bit, he finally knelt down in front of Soshyan.
During this process, Soshyan's palm never left the opponent's shoulder, giving the impression that Soshyan had pressed him down with his palm.
But what the reality is, only the two of them know——
"That's right, wise man."
Soshyan took a step back, looked down at the other party, and asked:
"Introduce yourself, what is your name, what is the name of your war gang, and what is your position in the war gang."
After three heavy breaths, the man responded in Gothic with a slight accent.
"My name is Garion Kerr, chief technician of the Third Operations Team of the Brotherhood of Steel."
"Brotherhood of Steel."
Soshyan searched for the name of this war gang in his mind and quickly found the answer.
"You took part in the siege of Vraks?"
"Yes."
"Then you were also summoned here by Abaddon?"
"That's right."
"Is the action team you just mentioned your establishment? How many people are you here in total this time?"
Galion Kerr did not respond at first, but after seeing Ustad slowly touching his hand to the bolter, he replied in a low voice:
"We have five action teams with a total of 221 people."
"221 people..."
Soshyan paced back and forth and thought for a moment. There were more people than he expected, which would further worsen the situation on the Death Star.
Then, he stopped and looked sideways at the prisoner.
"Is it just you?"
"And the Crimson Reaper."
"Scarlet Reapers? Are they coming too?"
Hearing this, Soshiyang was very surprised. He knew this warband. When he had just become the leader of the warband, he was shocked when he received the red saber and was declared an excommunicated rebel because it was a cultivator. The most serious Astartes betrayal in the Empire after the Lun Rebellion. At that time, he secretly warned himself that he must not let the Chapter go astray.
He didn't expect that after so many years, he would bump into this group of rebels.
"How many are they?"
"I don't know... I guess it's between 300-400."
There was no optimistic expression on Soshyan's face at this time, and the development of the situation far exceeded what his plan allowed.
The current situation on the entire Pavilion Star is actually very dangerous, and it is even on the verge of having to use the Extermination Order.
"You just said your technician, are you a technical sergeant?"
"That's what you would call it, because every one of us has to learn how to repair and use the war machine."
"interesting."
