"Belonging to Lee's Eleventh Regiment"
Veronica's guess is a bit wild, but Soshyan captures the possibility.
"That said, it seems somewhat possible, otherwise it would be impossible to explain that Lee was secretly promoting their fanatical belief in the Legion."
"Yes, this is the most suspicious point. If the entire conspiracy and its follow-up plans are extended based on this, then Li's plan may be very evil and huge. Since we want to rebuild the legion, we will definitely not be able to rely on poisonous thorns. , he must need more bloodline of the Eleventh Legion, and a complete wargroup is difficult to control, which is why he disabled the poisonous thorns. He may also do this to other bloodline groups of the Eleventh Legion. He had done something similar, but maybe only Poisonous Thorns succeeded, maybe there were more crippled battle groups that he hid in other places, or maybe he just started and was suddenly interrupted by some force, such as .Makado’s gang.”
Realizing that more blood relatives of the 11th Legion might have been killed by Li through conspiracy, Soshiyang couldn't help but feel angry, narrowed his eyes and whispered:
"If he can't give me an explanation that satisfies me, then I will definitely kill him. Even if he is the child of Erda and the Emperor."
"This is just a guess, but in short, he is right to be on guard. Anyway, it is better for these warriors to appear than to hide all the time. The sooner they are discovered, the sooner they can be solved. However, I feel that their thinking sparks are still very different from those of the current warriors. The big ones will take some work to absorb them.”
Soshyan looked at Veronica and blinked.
"Have you detected the sparks of their thinking?"
Veronica raised her chin slightly.
"This does not require any strength, just like breathing air. The sparks of their thinking are very strong, not even inferior to those of the traitors in Blackstone Fortress, but without the stench of chaos."
Soshyan pursed his lips and shook his head.
"They have been wanderers for hundreds of years. It does take some time to suddenly integrate into a group, but their fierce style is also a complement to the war group."
"I think there is a person you must pay attention to. He may not be strong, but his thinking and analytical skills are quite powerful. The situation is so chaotic now. There may be lurkers inside and outside the legion who are eager to find out. It’s almost impossible to find these people by relying on people you can trust now.”
"That's what you said."
"Occam."
"he?"
Soshiyang frowned. Since the end of the Maelstrom expedition, this intelligence agent he once trusted has been detained for a long time. Since he almost ended the entire expedition, Soshiyang still cannot establish his trust in this person. Of course, I didn't care about him anymore.
Now Veronica suddenly mentioned it, leaving Soshyan a little confused.
"I know you are still angry about him letting Huron go, but because of this behavior, I think he and the others are definitely not on the same page, and I tell you the truth, Talos said to me when he returned, Occam is trustworthy, and I never told you about this before you were busy."
"Talos?"
Veronica advanced Talos, Soshyan had to take it seriously.
"But I'm not sure where Occam stands."
"It shows that he has hidden himself very well. In fact, we only need to know that he is not on Malcador's side. His position can be understood by various means in the future. After all, we need to use him to crack and defend against attacks by those with malicious intentions. Conspiracy or trap, there is no more suitable person by your side now than him."
Soshyan thought for a while and nodded.
"Okay, I will have a good chat with him when I get back."
After finishing speaking, the two fell into a brief silence. Veronica lay on Soshyan's chest and didn't know what she was thinking. Soshyan brushed each other's hair with his palms and looked at the rotating planets, as if Also thinking.
After a few minutes of such quiet tenderness, Veronica suddenly said softly:
"I just mentioned the Necrontyr, and I suddenly remembered something."
"What?"
"When I first joined the Prophet's Path, Uthwe once destroyed a small Necrontyr dynasty that threatened the virgin world of Nalon. After completely burying those soulless metals, the mentor sighed on the ruins and said, I hope these enemies The leader will never come back. At that time, I asked him curiously, hadn’t these Necrontyrs been torn apart, and would there still be leaders? My mentor told me something about ancient wars, including The Necrontyr once had a unified leadership organization called the Council of the Three Saints, which was composed of three mysterious leaders of the Necrontyr. At the end of that ancient war, the Council of the Three Saints had suffered a devastating blow, and there was only one survivor. It was it that made all the Necrontyrs hide in the deep tombs, and then the only remaining Three Saints disappeared without a trace."
"It's been tens of millions of years since this happened? I think it can't exist anymore."
"I think so too, but these Necrontyrs have also existed in the tombs for tens of millions of years. It turns out that time has no obvious effect on them. The mentor told me that it has always existed, and may be weaving a revival of their broken and... The vast plan of a hopeless race."
"Plan. I'm starting to fear that word now."
"...I asked my mentor what the plan would be, and my mentor said he wasn't sure, but it might be an opportunity for this race to re-choose its path."
"Choose a new path? This is really Ada's consistent language habit."
"Soshiyang, do you know why I think of this? Gray marrow has always shown powerful abilities, including controlling metals and reading memories. It seems to be invincible. But now the modified heart-locking beetle shows that They can control the Astartes implanted with gray marrow. This is a very terrible 'back door', which may even threaten the legion you established in the future. In addition, since the Necrontyr can make such a 'back door', it means that they There must be some plot against the Gray Marrow, so I will make an assumption. The Necrontyr lost their body and soul, causing them to lose their future. If they want to choose a new path, the best way is to convert the metal back into Physical, right?”
Soshyan nodded, but then asked:
"But they turned into metal in the past. I remember you said that it seemed to be because of their physical defects?"
"Yes, so let's put ourselves in their shoes. If you were a Necrontyr and wanted to transform back into a physical life form, what would you choose? Would you choose to transform back into your original weak and flawed body?"
"Then if I have to choose again, I will definitely choose the most perfect body."
"So, what is perfection? This kind of body must first be very powerful, and all functions must surpass the level of existing galactic creatures. Secondly, it must have eternal or even immortal life. Their life span is originally very short. Furthermore, fear In the past, the deceased suffered a lot in the war because he had no psychic talent. Now that he has chosen again, he naturally desires to have strong psychic power or anti-psychic power. It is best to have both. Finally, it is also crucial to be able to reproduce. Or multiply future generations.”
After saying that, the two looked at each other, and they both saw shock and a little fear in each other's eyes.
