As the main general, Huron knew that his actions would have an immeasurable impact on the entire fleet. If he chose to retreat in the face of Soshiyan's "king to king" challenge, he would likely suffer a catastrophic defeat. However, facing Soshiyan directly is obviously not a rational choice. On the one hand, the news of the failure of the Immortal One has been heard. Although he does not know what means Soshiyan used, it is enough to make the famous Lucius lose twice in a row.
Although Huron thought he was not weak, he was not so arrogant that he felt that he could be stronger than Lucius.
On the other hand, it is Huron's personal combat style, or his life creed - never throw himself into the war when he is not sure.
However, Soshyan had arrived, just as a knight had thrown his gloves into the face of another knight, he had to make a choice.
Huron decided to let his subordinates fight for him.
But choosing who is a skill, Huron knew that the person sent out could only delay time and would inevitably die, so he might take this opportunity to clean up some trouble.
Moreover, the sent people have to fight very proactively and hard, and only in this way can they persist for a longer time.
After thinking about it, Huron chose a group of space wolves to rebel.
Ruth's savage heirs like the most is to bite prey that is stronger than them, and the Supreme Commander of the Imperial Expeditionary Force was a tempting target.
He then sent a message to the strike cruiser named Fenris Wolf and awarded the other party the honor of "beheading". As he expected, the other party responded to the instructions in the communication channel with an almost barking excited roar, and quickly left the fleet and headed straight for the Eternal Loyalty.
Faced with such a giant ship, the Wolf of Fenris is obviously unmatched. Kruth's fallen offspring have already smelled blood and they will do whatever it takes.
For Soshiyan, the appearance of a warship marked as the former space wolf is also surprising. On the one hand, it is because the other party is overestimating its abilities, and on the other hand, it is also curious whether the ship is a real space wolf or a group of pirates who snatched the wild wolf warship.
In order to be able to figure out the situation, he chose to take the initiative and launch a jump attack first.
As for Huron, Soshiyan really didn't think that he could solve the opponent now. On the one hand, although the strength of the Red Pirates Fleet was damaged, it had not yet reached the point of overturning. On the other hand, Soshiyan had other considerations.
If Huron is dead now, the following situations may occur.
One situation is that the Red Pirates fell into civil strife. In the end, they realized that they could not resist the Empire's expeditionary force, and would choose to retreat into the core of the Great Vortex or flee to other places to lie dormant. The Red Pirates as a whole may no longer exist, but the Chaos Space Marines are still there. Sooner or later, they will join forces to form a huge group again by annexing alliances with each other. This is inevitable that the special environment of the Great Vortex will be born. Even if the Empire regains those worlds, it will not take long to be submerged by a large number of Chaos heresy. The expedition is a waste of effort.
There is another situation where the Red Pirates quickly elected a new leader, and this leader would be a brand new, strange enemy. He would probably knock down all Huron's previous strategies and even clean up all Huron's previous confidants. Although the probability of such a thing happening based on the actual situation of the Red Pirates is very low, it is not impossible. Once this is true, the expedition may undergo some unpredictable changes, because from this battle, Soshiyan also saw that there were not no capable people in the Red Pirates, but often due to each other's suspicion, the concerns about betrayal and the balance of power are difficult to exert, and it is difficult to ensure that the superiors will not be stronger, cunning, and more difficult to predict.
The last situation is that the Red Pirates' legacy is inherited by the Word Bearton or Abaddon, which is what Soshyan wants to see the least, because the war potential of either of these two is much greater than that of the Red Pirates, so the expedition may really be far away, and the possibility of the result is very high.
Therefore, Huron seems to be unable to die at the moment. Only when he is alive, Soshiyan has the opportunity to destroy as many Chaos Space Marines as possible, so that this expedition can truly have a result.
Soshyan didn't waste so much time in the vortex. He had already realized that the grey was changing, and a premonition was urging him to quickly solve the reason.
If it really comes to the day when a decision has to be made, at least he has to make final arrangements for Veronica and the Legion.
It may be a bit ridiculous to say it. Although Soshiyang has rarely had an opponent, he has always felt a vague sense of crisis. Although he doesn't know what the crisis is, he can always guess a little bit.
He wouldn't resent anything.
The only thing he thought was that he could live as valuable as possible when he was alive. He never thought of betraying his vow when he became a Space Marine. Whether it was becoming a Phoenix King or something else, he would always be a warrior fighting for mankind.
Veronica is the only exception, but he thought that the huge Galaxy might be able to accommodate his little selfishness.
Just that, a little bit-
Accompanied by the fierce shelling of the Eternal Loyal, the Fenris Wolf, who was still preparing to jump to the gang, immediately trembled. Its void shield could not support this level of firepower and was quickly torn apart.
A large number of jumping torpedoes and landing crafts arrived later, and Soshiyan only led a company into the enemy's warships.
There was almost no obstacle in the whole process. Perhaps the wild wolf traitors were also stunned, and they did not expect that their opponents would take the initiative to start a jumping gang.
"Are Fenris' wolf so smelly?"
Walking out of the landing craft ramp, Soshiyang, who was not wearing a helmet, immediately smelled a strange smell, a fishy smell unique to the nest of a beast.
The interior of this ship is not so much a ship as a tribe or cave, with scattered bones everywhere, strange totems, symbols of reverence for the evil gods of the subspace, and a large number of human skins and furs covered the ship. Those who are rushing through the passage are also mutants with hooves, sheep heads or other beast characteristics.
They were panicked by the sudden invaders, rushing to organize defenses while blowing horns and pounding skin drums.
However, the primitive weapons in their hands are meaningless to the Terminator. Even the Astral Knights are reluctant to use bullets to destroy them when they walk by. They are only able to be shot or trampled to death when blocking the road.
Soshyan walked in front of the team, and Murad served as the flag bearer of the battle group. This time he did not use the Holy Flame Sword, but used the soul spear that had been stored for a long time.
About ten minutes later, they finally encountered the first wave of decent resistance.
