Chapter 1686 The Defeat Star
"There is no better choice than you, just that."
Soshyan ended Yarik's rejection in a tough tone, then turned around and said to the officers of Hamigeddon:
"You all know that the Astral Knights have participated in the war between Hamigidon and Greenskin. There are many people present who have fought side by side with us. I feel very pleased to be lucky enough to fight with the tenacious and brave Hamigidon people again this time. I also assure you that in the future, everyone will not be troubled by logistics and equipment issues."
General Silver immediately saluted and said in a deep voice:
"Captain of Soshyan, you are the savior of Hamigiddon. All Hamigiddon people will obey your command unconditionally! Even if you want to break into hell, we will go with you!"
"General Silver, I still remember your heroic battle in the Hamigidon subcontinent. This time I also have high hopes for you. Now the Great Vortex area is recruiting and organizing new troops. In the future, I plan to add three million new recruits to the command chain of the Hamigidon Iron Corps. Your task is very heavy, and you can ask me if you have any needs."
When Silver heard that so many troops were included in his command, he immediately felt energetic and even threw away his previous unhappiness.
"Thanks to the Commander-in-Chief for your trust! I will definitely live up to my responsibilities!"
"Well, you guys must have been quite tired from the long journey. A battalion area has been laid out on the ground of Sagan Main Star, and the barracks and food are ready. The soldiers of the Iron Corps will get off the boat and repair it for a while."
There is no problem with Space Marines being able to stay on the ship for a long time, but the Astral Army is mortal after all. Staying in a claustrophobic cabin for a long time will still have an impact on combat effectiveness and will not be conducive to daily training.
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief!"
Just as the officers of the Iron Corps began to command the soldiers to get off the ship and take a small transport ship to the ground camp, Soshiyan invited Yarik in his personal name to his personal living area on the Eternal Loyalty. Although he didn't know what Soshiyan asked him to do, he rushed there as soon as possible.
But it surprised him very much-
"Veronica is a psychic and a high-level civilian in the battle group. She is temporarily responsible for handling some of my internal affairs."
In the living room that is not very big but decorated with a warm atmosphere, Yarik and Soshyan sat on both sides of a round dining table covered with white dining tablecloth. Although there was a certain body difference between the two, fortunately, Yarik's chair had lifting function and would not be so inconsistent.
After hearing this, Arik nodded.
"Ms. Veronica must be very smart and capable to get your trust."
He coughed slightly with a embarrassed expression. Soshiyang, who was wearing a regular dress, put down the empty cup, picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth. At this time, Veronica walked over and had several exquisite desserts on the plate he was holding. After seeing Arik put down his knife and fork, he smiled:
"Political Commissar Yarik hasn't eaten yet, right? Please use some more."
Arrek, who had taken off his military cap and exposed his gray hair, nodded to Veronica and replied gently:
"Thank you very much, Ms. Veronica, I'm already very upset when you're worried about preparing this supper."
"I'm sorry, because the preparation was too hasty, and this dinner was too simple and casual."
Hearing Soshiyan's words, Yarik turned his head and said humbly:
"If that's the case, Ms. Veronica's craftsmanship is countless times stronger than all the delicacies I've eaten, let alone being able to eat with you, Your Excellency Commander. This kind of courtesy has made me feel terrified."
"There are no higher and lower levels here, only old friends I haven't met for a long time."
Arrek smiled, but was still a little restrained.
Just as the other party was eating the second dessert, Soshiyang suddenly asked softly.
"Arik, can you tell me what happened on the crucifixion planet?"
After hearing this, Arik's face changed slightly, then sighed, put down the dessert in his hand, and whispered:
"Actually, I should have said it... I should have expected that the ancient giant rubbish would charge, I should have expected that the number of green skins was far more than that, and there were too many things I should have expected. When the emperor finally decided to let me take off my burden and call me to his throne, I would definitely have many questions to answer, but most importantly, I had to bear the charge of underestimating the enemy. I had repeatedly ruthlessly put it on others, but when I made the same mistake myself, I almost ruined the entire Hamigiddon. How could I forget my own warning? I should not be forgiven. Even if all this is not my responsibility, the series of mistakes made that day made me impossible for me to obtain a trace of forgiveness, both in my own right and in my own right."
"Please don't blame yourself too much, war will never be a person's responsibility."
"...... After the end of the war in Hamigidon, I did not stop. I was chasing the Bone Brokeners and raiding one world after another. Maybe you don't understand my decision, because the empire never lacks imminent threats. I know that many people think so. Wasting a lot of energy, financial resources and manpower in chasing a defeated army seems to be a meaningless approach, but please believe me, if there is a Greenskin warlord who can take on the heavy responsibility of uniting the entire race, if such a thing is really possible, then this warlord must be the Bone Brokeners. Although expressing this view makes me even more disgusting, I believe this fact-the Bone Brokeners have the potential to become the King of Greenskins and rebuild the former Ulano Alien Empire."
After hearing this, Soshiyang nodded slightly.
"It is indeed more special than other green warlords, and it is definitely not a scourge that can be despised. I support you in this regard, but... I am afraid it is almost time to say that it can unify the entire race. The real Oak tyrant is not that simple."
"Thank you, your understanding, I feel relieved. In the second year of the Bone-Breaker Expedition, the war was in a deadlock. The expedition was invaded by various mistakes, accidents and stupid judgments. More importantly, Terra and the Ministry of Military Affairs no longer supported our expedition. I had to recruit every tank, every rifle, and every guard I needed, but that was not enough. I was just a political commissar after all. I lacked influence in the military and political circles and needed the support of influential figures in these fields. In such an important task, I should not tolerate any compromise, but I was forced to make some concessions, allowing many nobles to become officers of the Expeditionary Force by their identity rather than ability in exchange for the support of their families and their fathers. This decision ultimately made me regret my life."
"I think... it's the aristocrats that have something wrong with it?"
"...... At that time, I finally forced the Bone Brokener to a desperate situation. After a long search and a long pursuit, I still caught it. On the Passion Star, I was already sure that it was within the range of the Arrogant Fortress! But... fate did not favor us. I arranged the Omet 23 Armored Regiment to defend the war. This decision caused disastrous consequences. Omet 23 Armored Regiment is a new force, with a whole regiment of Rimanlus, which is the armor force that the Expeditionary Force needs very much, but getting Omet 23 Armored Regiment is accompanied by a certain price - bringing Omet's ruler Geret Roger, the sixth son who has no experience in war, was the other party's offer."
"Why?"
"Old Rogge hoped to make his sixth son the heir, so he wanted to gilt him and win family honor. I did not withstand the temptation of a regiment of Rimanlus, and finally agreed. However, considering that the young man lacked war experience, he arranged it as a defender, but he killed everyone! This idiot did not move according to the original route, but he cleverly chose a narrow path, but was ambushed by the Green Skin armored troops there and wiped out the entire army! And it allowed Green Skin to detour behind and attack our main force!"
When Yarek said this, he closed his eyes in pain, and Soshiyan sighed softly. He could imagine the disastrous scene at that time-
