"I'm just stating it briefly."
As Occam spoke, he pushed Black's chariot closer to White's king.
"Those people have accelerated their actions. When Soshyan really gets there, what do you think will happen? Do you think they will really let a person who is in love with Queen Ada control the empire? Do you think a deviant Can people accept their control, or ideas? No, I dare to say so, when that day comes, it will also be the day Soshyan disappears."
Talos took a puff of cigarette and said nonchalantly:
"Is Soshyan important to you?"
"Not important, but his presence is important."
Talos pointed at the chessboard.
"Like this game of chess? To prove yourself?"
"No, it's not important for me either. What's important is that when I met him, came to him, and joined him, none of this was accidental."
As he spoke, Occam picked up a soldier chess piece.
"In this chess game, I am just a pawn, but I will let all those who try to control the chess game know that pawn——"
Then the soldier chess took a step forward and kicked down the chess piece that symbolized the king.
"You can also kill the king."
Talos glanced at Wang Qi who was lying aside.
"Why do you need to go to such great lengths to help Soshiyang?"
"I said, I just want to destroy the arrangements of those people and uncover the truth under the veil. If you have to tell me a reason about Soshyan, well... he is a good person."
Talos smiled and seemed to be choking on the cigarette. He coughed twice and then put out the cigarette butt on the table.
"Your evaluation is quite high. Not many people, even the one currently slumped on the throne, have evaluated Him this way."
"I think that sentence sums up my point."
"Occam, what you have to do is not only make it difficult for Soshyan to do his full work, but not capturing Huron will also give some people in Terra an excuse to attack him, and even erase his achievements in this expedition. Do you want to Let him face injustice and accusations, and then be disappointed with the Empire and the High Lords. The more alienated he feels from the Empire, the closer he will be to his wife, and the more anxious some people will be, and they will accelerate their plans , and things tend to go wrong when things are rushed.”
Occam put his arms on the table and looked at Talos with a smile.
"I said, I can't hide anything from you, Soul Hunter."
"So, has there been another Eldar prophet under the banner of the Esoteric Cult who has found you?"
"yes."
"Then how did you answer?"
"I said, if you have anything to do, go talk to the Phoenix King."
"Hahaha--"
Talos smiled and shook his head.
"What a fictitious person, what a Occam, worthy of being the Alpha who single-handedly played an expedition into applause. Then do you want me to intercede with Soshyan to let you out?"
Occam shook his head.
"No, this place is nice."
"So... angering Soshyan and locking you up is also a plan."
"Judas disappeared."
Talos was not surprised when Occam suddenly said this. Instead, he tilted his head slightly to the left, waiting for the other party's next words.
"Someone let him go, and only Kayon and I know where he was imprisoned, so..."
"So you suspect that there is an undercover agent lurking around Soshyan that we don't know about."
"In fact, I have suspected it for a long time, including the abnormal smoothness in the capture of Judas, as if the Huron intelligence chief was not alert at all. There are only two possibilities, either he is a fool, or he I had known for a long time that I was going to touch him, and his choice was to be captured, but I was still thinking about it at the time, so I took advantage of the trick. After that, I carefully investigated the origins and all activities of Judas in the Red Pirates. Although it was well hidden, it was still I found some clues that Huron rescued him on Garmyk, but in fact the Word Bearers were not imprisoning him at that time, but were receiving him. More importantly, he called himself nameless. By."
Talos shook his finger.
"I'm not familiar with your Alpha internal routine. Just tell me the key points."
Occam leaned forward and hissed:
"I know there is such a person who calls himself this. His name is Casal, the commander of the special forces "Reap" in the Legion era."
"I've never heard of this man, but according to you, Judas is actually Cassar."
"It's very possible. But that's not the point. The point is that for such a veteran of the Long War Legion to suddenly defect to Huron, he either has an ulterior motive, or there is someone behind the scenes. I can't find any evidence that Cassar is planning something for the time being. So, According to the idea of being instigated by someone, the identity of someone who can command such a person must be extremely exaggerated. Now that Cassar has been let go, as expected, he has returned to Huron to replace 'my' I enjoy the gratitude and trust of Huron, and my final act of saving Huron became the ripe fruit in his hands."
"Haha, your Alpha is really interesting. First you replaced him, but now he has replaced you. So looking at it this way, it seems that you are the one who fell into the trap?"
"A trap? No, this is just a small step in the chess game, a preliminary plan, an idea. Since I ruined their plan, they will naturally not let Huron go. I let Huron go. Another idea was to test whether the person lurking in the battle group would react, and it was just as I expected."
"Then do you know the identity of that person?"
Occam was silent for a moment and shook his head.
"I don't know. Firstly, I don't know much about the history of the Astral Knights. Secondly, I'm not sure if that person is in the Astral Knights. Soshiyang has absorbed too many people with complex compositions. I guess this is also the pusher. The purpose is to use a complex personnel composition to cover up the existence of the undercover agent. Now the entire war group is like pouring colorful ink into a basin of clear water. It is not that simple to find one of the various colors alone. "
"To be able to secretly release such an important prisoner, that person must have a high status. Haha, when you think about it, you have included me in your scheme."
Talos smiled and stood up.
"You knew I would come, and you also knew that no one would know that I was here. Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"First, keep secrets from Soshyan. He is not a person who can hide his emotions very well. Second, find for me the resume of everyone who is still active in the Astral Knights, mainly those who are still in the company. Chief, there are also cloisters and apothecary associations, starting with the Astral Knights and then gradually expanding their scope."
"Oh, you want to get to the bottom of this. If you want to do this, you'd better tell Soshyan."
Occam looked at Talos, as if thinking about something, and finally nodded.
"If that's what you think. So be it."
"Are you sure you don't want to go out?"
"No need for the time being, I need to think carefully for a while and stay away from that person's sight for a while."
Talos said nothing more and turned towards the door, but before leaving, he stopped and turned around and said:
"Even if Soshyan fails, they will still have a record, and there will always be a original body that comes out to control the empire."
Occam shrugged.
"None of us are gods, and it is impossible to truly control the flow of the river of destiny. It is nothing more than using tactics to block it."
Talos turned and left, the gate opened and closed again. In the dark room, Occam stretched out his hand to sweep down all the chess pieces, then returned them to their places one by one, and suddenly murmured to himself:
"A new round begins again"
