Although the monastery hall of the Chapter No. 4 on Nessen was brightly lit at the moment, the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.
Thousands of space warriors gathered here. They all came from the White Templar and the Astral Knights. Everyone had a black cloak hanging on their shoulders. The armor was polished to a discernible light. The anger and sadness were visible to the naked eye. diffused in it.
There are eleven glass coffins placed in the middle of the hall, but because some soldiers have no bones left, only fragments of their armor can be placed.
In one of the glass coffins, Randall lay quietly, motionless.
His eyes were closed tightly, and behind the glass of the golden coffin, he still looked as solemn as when he was alive. The mark of honor was engraved on every break in his armor, every scar on his body, and his severed hands were re-opened. Sewn to the wrist.
But the red pirate's black hand mark on his armor was so dazzling, and the broken sword stuck in his chest was also so eye-catching.
Soshyan had been standing in silence for more than half an hour, hatred and anger boiling in his chest, and becoming more intense with time like aging wine, making his face as gloomy as the sky before a storm.
And among this anger and hatred, there is also regret and guilt.
Obviously he knew that his enemies would definitely counterattack, but he was arrogant and thought that the other party would not dare to do anything now.
Huron was obviously a powerful opponent, but he was not prepared at all. Even the hidden lines placed in the maelstrom were only focused on opening up smuggling routes.
It was clear that Randall's physical condition was getting worse and worse, but he did not force him to receive necessary treatment.
If he hadn't chosen Ustad to escape and appointed him acting army commander after Randall arrived, wouldn't this have happened?
If he didn't draw so many veterans from the White Templar, would Randall be better protected?
If he had not gone to Comoros for selfish reasons, would he have been alert to Huron's behavior during this period?
If he had solved Huron, wouldn't this happen?
Deep down in his heart, Soshyan had already determined that he had something to do with Randall's death. Compared with this dedicated friend, he was completely unqualified and derelict in his duty as the commander of the army. Perhaps the other party was really more suitable than him. this position.
And he can serve as the commander of the legion only because of his status as Gray Marrow's original adapter.
Randall shouldn't have ended up like this. Just a few red pirate thieves would never have killed him. If his gray marrow was not defective, if he held Fentian, if -
Soshyan clenched his fists subconsciously, clenching his teeth so hard that he could almost see the slightly bulging muscles on his face.
Then he took a step forward.
At that moment, everyone's eyes were focused on him.
Soshyan walked towards Randall step by step, then stopped beside him, stretched out his hand and held the broken sword.
With a puff, he pulled out the broken sword, held it in his hand and slowly raised it.
"I, Soshyan Alexey, hereby swear that, Brother Randall, Huron's head will be the first sacrifice at your funeral!
"
Hearing a crisp sound, Soshiyang crushed the broken sword into pieces with his bare hands.
"revenge!"
When the first sound sounded, all the soldiers raised their fists high and let out a roar that made the entire fortress tremble.
revenge!
revenge!
revenge!
However, Kayon and Thor in the team exchanged a look, and they both saw the worry in each other's eyes - this matter didn't seem that simple.
After the memorial service, Randall was not buried because Soshyan decided to take revenge before giving his friend a grand funeral, but now he needed to solve another matter.
The White Templars need a new Chapter Master.
Because Randall passed away suddenly and left no designated heir, the matter fell on Soshyan, the legion commander, and the company commanders of the White Templar also agreed that he would be the one to designate.
The currently confirmed candidates are First Company Commander Lalon and Second Company Commander Arash. As a Terminator veteran, the First Company Commander has sufficient qualifications and prestige, but he has a problem, that is, as a Terminator of Dehgan, he has gray on his body. Like Randall, he is also a low-quality gray marrow. He is also the only low-quality gray marrow user who still built the White Temple after Randall's death.
With Randall's example, Soshyan could only exclude him, leaving only the second company commander Arash.
Arash entered the service late. Randall had canceled the transformation step of transplanting gray marrow at that time, so he did not have gray marrow. After returning to the Legion from the White Templar, Arash became the first batch of Soshyan Ash transplanted by the White Templar. marrow warrior and blends well.
Then the result is obvious. Soshyan met Arash alone and told the other party his decision.
Arash declined humbly at first, but after Soshyan explained the reasons clearly, he said nothing more. He just hoped that Soshyan would give him a chance to take revenge in person.
Although he wanted to kill Huron himself, considering that revenge for Randall would allow Arash to gain recognition from the members of the war group, Soshyan promised to let him kill Huron himself.
On the second day of the memorial service, Arash was inaugurated as the leader of the White Templar Chapter under the witness of Soshiyan. Because the Snow Lotus Blade was taken away, Soshiyan transferred a finely crafted power spear named [Golden Owl] from the flagship armory. Given to the other party as a symbol, this weapon once belonged to a captain of the Legion.
At the same time, Soshiyan also comforted Lalon and Honor Guard Captain Murad, who had been blaming themselves, because they believed that they had not protected Randall.
In order to ease the other party's sadness and prevent discordant voices within the White Temple, Soshyan simply transferred Murad, the champion of the war group who had previously participated in the Feast of Blades, to the Astral Knights to assist Mark in training the Dark Guards. plan.
While Soshyan was busy dealing with Randall's death, Sol and Kayon suddenly found him.
"There's something weird about this."
Kayon was the first to express his point of view.
"If it was really Huron's revenge, he could have killed Chapter Commander Randall and then taken advantage of the chaotic command of the White Templars to inflict heavy damage on the fleet. But in fact, they behaved more like thieves. The benefits will run away immediately.”
On an observation deck of the monastery fortress, hearing Kayan's words, Soshyan frowned slightly and retracted his sight from the starry night sky - maybe he knew that Soshyan had a lot of things going on recently, and he was not in a very good mood. Okay, so Veronica hasn't come to see him these days.
Then he turned around and looked at the two of them.
"What do you mean-"
Thor took out the data pad, then tapped it lightly, and a chaotic sound appeared.
"This is the communication record between the Black Bee and the Heart of Light that I retrieved. This is the conversation between the Captain of the Black Bee and Captain Randall. I filtered out the voices of the two people and asked the technical staff to analyze them. For each piece of audio, we finally found a very weak sound. The speaker should have been standing far away, but it was still accidentally captured by the audio equipment."
With that said, Thor tapped the data pad, and most of the sound disappeared, leaving only a brief period of eerie grunting.
"What's this?"
"A low Gothic language with a heavy accent and unclear articulation, but you can probably make it out."
"what language?"
"Fenrisian."
