"...If any secret ferments for ten thousand years, no matter what the original intention is, it will deteriorate in the end. I have a deep understanding of this."
Facing Azriel's words, Soshiyan could only remain silent.
The two of them were silent under the dim light, with their own thoughts until they were awakened by the distant bell.
It was the time clock of the track station, and it also reminded the two that they had been there for an hour.
"Sorry, brother Soshyan, wasting your time."
In the end, Azriel spoke first.
"It's okay, we are fighting brothers, we should have helped each other. The empire is in turmoil now, so we should work together."
"Yes."
Azriel nodded, then suddenly said something that made Soshyan almost jump from the ground.
"The Knight of the Astrology is not a subgroup of Empire Fist, right?"
"Uh...why could it be-"
Azriel waved his hand.
"Brother, don't get me wrong. I didn't mean to blame you, but I don't think there is any need to hide it from you... Well, Master Ezekiel realized something was wrong with your battle group, especially on the battlefield. Your entire team seemed to be shrouded in a huge anti-psychic field, although it seemed very thin because of the distance."
This surprised Soshiyan because Kayan had never said this, either he did not say it on purpose, or Ezekiel's psychic power was extremely powerful and sensitive, or something special.
"And that ship."
Azriel then threw a bombshell.
"Although the keel number is not recognized, the Caliban Sword is a ship of the Great Expeditionary Age. Its ancient scanning device detected a set of special codes...the primitive code."
Soshiyan could only continue to remain silent.
"That set of codes is not in the database, but all codes have rules. Finally, after calculation by technical sergeant, it was concluded that the code represents the number...Ⅺ."
Azriel walked forward and put his right hand on Soshiyan's left shoulder.
"No need to be nervous. I have no intention of spying on your secrets, so I will not tell the final conclusion, forever! I just want to say that everything from ten thousand years ago was too far away from us. Do living people really have to be entangled and troubled by the ghosts of the past? Gene seeds give us glory and strength, but also make us bear the complex and trivial entanglements of the past. I often wonder, are we the shadow of the past or the real self that is now?"
As he said that, he stretched out his left arm to Soshiyang.
Soshyan looked at the other party, surprised by Azriel's words, and the highest mentor of the Dark Angel obviously had another side that no one knew.
He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but found that he was empty and could only hold the other person's hand and nod.
"yes."
Azriel smiled, with a very natural smile.
"I hope we can all find our respective answers. Goodbye, Brother Soshiyan, I hope we will have a day to fight side by side in the future."
"Yes, brothers Azriel."
In this way, the two ended the conversation and returned to their respective battle groups, and only the two of them knew about the conversation.
A few days after the two met, several battle groups stationed held a grand celebration banquet. All the Space Marines participated in the banquet. The atmosphere was very harmonious. Soshyan also talked about the brotherhood of the two battle groups with Azriel. His intimate attitude made many people look at each other, including the warrior of the Dark Angel. I don’t know when their Supreme Mentor had a good brother.
At this time, the influence of the Battle of Pandora began to spread within the empire. As the organizer of the battle, Soshiyan quickly spread to many worlds and battle groups.
A month after the battle ended, the commendation from Terra arrived.
The focus of this commendation was, as the Inquisitor said, on the Dark Angel.
The High Lord Terra first praised the loyalty and courage of the Dark Angels, praised them for their fine traditions that had been in full swing for ten thousand years, and once again severely damaged the enemy of the Empire and was the real pillar of the Empire.
He also praised the highest mentor of the Dark Angel Azriel as an empire and a nemesis of the enemy. He praised him for a sword made by Terra craftsmen. His sword was recast using an imperial guard sword damaged during the Battle of Terra and was named Pai Shang Sword.
At the same time, all the Dark Angels who participated in this battle received a row of Battle of the Stars.
Then he went to the battle commander Soshiyang and the Knights of the Star Realm. He had only one word of loyalty and courage that was not painful. Soshiyang himself received a medal, and other soldiers did not even have medals.
The White Temple only has commendations. As the commander of the battle, Randall, not to mention the medal, and his name is not mentioned.
As soon as the news came out, the warriors of the Knights of the Star Realm were very angry. Soshyang took a lot of words to suppress everyone's complaints.
Afterwards, Azriel led the Dark Angels to the Pandora Galaxy and headed to the nearest recruitment world. They suffered a considerable loss in this battle, killing nearly 200 soldiers, and needed to replenish soldiers immediately.
The Knights of the Star Realm and the White Temple were not much better. The Knights of the Star Realm were killed 67 people, and three others entered the Fearless, while the White Hall was killed 132 people, including two company commanders. Therefore, Soshyan asked Randall to return to his home star to replenish the troops. After he got the flagship, the two sides met and negotiated how to solve the next problem.
After the White Temple left, the judge also left the galaxy, and at this time there was only the last one left-
The nun of the Ebony Grail.
Villetz often appears around Soshiyan during this period, but in order not to let Veronica get angry all day long, Soshiyan avoids contact with the other party as much as possible - he found that as long as he has contacted Villetz, Veronica will definitely find out and get angry.
But there are always times when we can't escape. Before the Ebony's Holy Grail left, Villets invited Soshyan to have dinner.
Considering that the other party had indeed helped a lot and that he had not had a good time with the other party during this period, Soshiyan agreed, and then chose a time when no one knew about it, took off his power armor and changed into a robe and took Ditrian's shuttle to the ship of the Ebony Holy Grail Cultivation.
The meeting was not complicated, as Villets said it was just an ordinary dinner, the two sat facing each other under the candlelight, with only simple food and water on the table.
Villets rarely wore a blue low-cut dress. Although Soshyan didn't pay much attention to it, it had to be said that time had not left any traces on her, but it was even more obvious.
The nun seemed very happy and told Soshiyan a lot about what happened after she returned to the sect.
Soshiyan also informed Villets of the part of his later experience.
However, during this process, Villets would occasionally ask Veronica about his identity, but he always let Soshyan go around.
Three hours passed quickly, and Villets informed Soshyan that the Saushin Society had received a new task to suppress a riot that occurred in the religious world and would have to leave immediately.
Realizing that the two sides would part again and that they would meet again in some time, Soshyan presented Villets with a pendant made of explosive shells, which was engraved by him by himself, and there was also one of Veronica.
Villetz was very happy and gave Soshyan a golden rose brooch.
After leaving the nun's boat, Soshiyan put the things in place and took a bath for several hours. After confirming that he would not be smelled, he changed into a new robe and returned to the bedroom.
He thought he had done it perfectly and perfectly, but he didn't expect that as soon as the door opened, a pillow was directly on his face, accompanied by the angry screams of the Spiritual Girl, just like her howling banshees.
