Well, in fact, when he learned about these things, Soshiyan felt that the chief priest was a bit too much. After all, they were all battle brothers and of the same blood, and the Poisonous Thorns Chapter did not really rebel at that time. He killed someone in anger just because of a verbal dispute. It couldn't be justified in any case. Even if it was justified, it was unreasonable. Anyway, if Soshyan was present, he would definitely stop him.
What's even more exaggerated is that the priest went to Sanatar alone to negotiate with the Poisonous Thorns Chapter who was still stranded there.
According to records, the Chief Chaplain destroyed the entire renegade Chapter alone, so the Phalanx also erected a statue in his honor.
This thing seems very strange. No matter how powerful a priest is, he can directly sweep a war group? But the problem is that this pastor has no other more prominent achievements in his life, so why did he suddenly become so violent in beating his own brother? As strong as Lysander, wearing a Terminator was eventually captured by the enemy because he was outnumbered, and even if the Poisonous Thorns Chapter couldn't defeat him, he could always run away, right? Don't stand there and open the ladle one by one. (The master of the classic swamp plot designed by gw)
But now it seems that this priest obviously did not really annihilate the Poisonous Thorns Chapter.
But there is no point in saying this, because the priest has long since returned to the throne.
The point now is, what is their purpose for coming to you?
Probably not looking for trouble
The most likely possibility is that he will defect to the Suffering Alliance.
If this is the case, it would be a bit difficult to deal with. After all, the Poisonous Thorns Chapter has indeed not committed any crimes. Logically speaking, there is no problem in joining the Alliance of Suffering, but their enmity with the Imperial Fists is real.
This may make Soshyan's position very embarrassing.
But the other party is here after all, and he has to make a statement after all. In fact, no one will know if he directly eliminates them here, but Soshyan still feels guilty in his heart, especially after knowing what happened to them——
The demands put forward by the Poisonous Thorns Chapter may not necessarily be reasonable, but they did not directly seize them by force or attack anyone. Instead, they patiently dealt with the imperial bureaucracy and tried to express and satisfy their demands in a peaceful way. This is nothing. Question, is it a sin to express your own opinions? So compared to the fact that the Space Wolves raised their axes at the Inquisitors and escaped unscathed, is this too high a standard?
"Chapter Commander, the guard fleet is asking if we want to start a battle formation? The opponent is about to enter the safety line of the galaxy."
Hearing the communications officer's voice, Soshyan thought for a while and then said:
"Send a signal to the other party and ask them to stop, and I will contact them personally."
Not long after the signal was sent out, the opponent's ship gradually slowed down, and Soshyan's flagship also slowly approached it.
As the opponent appeared in the visual capture device, a somewhat "shattered" battle barge appeared on the display. In appearance, this ship had obvious signs of repair. It should have experienced many battles, but it was not obvious. Traces of corruption, a vague mark can still be seen on the side of the battleship, but unfortunately the specific shape can no longer be distinguished.
But the Sky Eagle emblem on the bow of the ship is still very obvious.
As the two ships gradually approached, Soshyan turned on the audio transmitter.
"I am Soshyan Alexei, Chapter Master of the Astral Knights. If you hear me, please answer."
A few seconds later, a deep voice sounded from the loudspeaker next to Soshiyang.
"Hail to you, Chapter Master Soshyan Alexey, Gray Eagle of the Empire, and Commander of the Eleventh Legion, Shahan Shah of the Undead."
For a moment, the air on the bridge stagnated for a few seconds. Soshiyang narrowed his eyes and asked softly:
"Who are you."
The other party laughed twice, like a ghost in a tomb, and then hissed:
"Reporting to the commander of the army, I am the current commander of 'Simog', Texhar."
Simog, this name is impressive to Soshyan. Elena once mentioned it when describing the structure of the undead army in the past to him. Simog, Manticore, Kalkadan, and Sabern were the four members of the army. An elite force of more than a thousand people, Simog is also known as the Susa Guards and is the personal bodyguard of the original body.
But what concerned him more was the other person's name.
"Texhar? You did it four hundred years ago"
"Dead? Yes, it was."
"It seems you do have a lot to say. Come to the ship and bring all the warriors with you."
"As commanded."
Ten minutes later, when the bridge door opened, a group of people walked in. They were sandwiched by a company of Terminators on the left and right, and divided into three queues. Everyone was wearing what could be called "simple" power armor. And the power armor on many people has obvious signs of patchwork, and there are even rivets on the shoulder armor and leg armor. They are similar to the Chaos warbands Soshiyan saw, but the colors of their armor are all original. The gray iron color is equivalent to erasing all the coating, and the original chapter logo on the shoulder armor has also been erased, leaving only an XI and a burning black sun - this is the logo of the Eleventh Legion.
If the records Soshiyan saw are correct, the paint of the Poisonous Thorns Chapter should be yellow and black.
There is only one explanation for this behavior in the empire - erasing the original paint and the original battle group logo -
Rebellion.
After arriving at the reception area of the bridge, a company of Terminators retreated left and right, but their weapons were all activated. Maximilian came to Soshyan's side. Although no one spoke along the way, these The logo on the human shoulder armor still attracted the curiosity of the soldiers of the company.
Are these the lost legion brothers?
Soshiyang sat on the throne and looked at the people below who claimed to be the Poisonous Thorns Chapter. At a glance, they counted 221 people. The leader was a warrior wearing an Unyielding Terminator. There were many battle scars on the armor and on his waist. There are some alien skeletons tied to the chains, a huge human skull is strung on a spike behind him, and a two-handed power hammer hangs behind him. He looks like the leader of a Chaos war gang if he doesn't tell his identity.
After the two sides looked at each other for a moment, the man took off his helmet, revealing a face that made Sosh frown slightly.
In other words, half a face
The left side of this warrior's face is covered with small scars, but it can still be seen that he once had a resolute and handsome face, but the right side of his face is completely metalized - not the kind of mask inlaid with metal. The form, but the outline details of the entire face are still there, and even the eyes can blink, but the texture has changed to silver metal.
Soon, Soshyan realized something, narrowed his eyes and whispered:
"You transplanted gray marrow."
The other party puffed up his chest, raised his right arm, and said loudly:
"All soldiers of Simog, pay tribute to Commander Alexei!"
"Salute to Commander Alexei!"
The roars of more than two hundred soldiers shook the bridge, but Soshyan said nothing. After they lowered their arms, he said slowly:
"Are you Texhar?"
The half-faced warrior nodded.
"Yes, Legion Commander."
