After the "chat", Soshiyan immediately got to the point.
"So, after so long and after reading so much information, what did you find."
Okam didn't answer immediately, just thought for a while, then pressed his hands on the table and moved forward slightly.
"Captain of the Battle Team, I did find something, but you have to face a choice. Once you know it, it may make you very sad, even painful, and without knowing it, it will not affect anything at the moment, but it is there and will be revealed one day."
After listening, Soshiyang put his hands on his chest and pressed his body backwards. The chair he built for the Space Marine suddenly creaked. Then he lowered his head and closed his eyes, as if he was thinking about it - but his frown brows showed that he was not in a good mood at this time.
After waiting for half a minute, Okam asked:
"Have you thought about it, Commander of the War, are you ready to know that name now?"
Soshiyang opened his eyes, felt sad, and slowly shook his head.
"Forget it, don't talk now..."
Okam had no expression on his face, but just said lightly.
"Snakes can never be raised."
"No need to remind me, I think you will be staring at him all the time. I just feel that both sides have not reached the point of... showdown."
Then Soshiyang changed his mind.
"Okam, I met a group of people not long ago..."
After that, Soshiyang told the story of the poisonous thorns, including the process of meeting Li, even the process of getting the Phoenix Holy Grail and encountering Fogrim. Okam listened to the whole process very seriously, but his expression almost changed.
"...What I worry most now is this Lee."
Even after Soshiyan finished speaking, Okam did not respond and just tapped the tabletop with his fingers.
It took him ten minutes before he slowly said:
"Let's not talk about this Li, he has too many forces and relationships. It is unrealistic to try to use the existing clues to find out his background. I don't think you need to pay too much attention to him at the moment. And since he has attracted the attention of those people of Makado, there will naturally be someone to deal with it... There are many conflicts around you and the gray marrow. Your power is limited, and you must grasp the main contradiction, so what you really need to pay attention to is the space undead, which is probably the reason why those people sent the poisonous thorns to you. This is a warning, warning you that the aliens may have started to take action. They know that you no longer trust them now, so they might as well send an empirical example... But if you change your mind, Soshiyang, instead of waiting for the other party to come, why don't you take the initiative to attack?"
"Take the initiative?"
"The space necromancers have plans and intentions for gray marrows. Actually, I have a premonition. Since the cube they gave me, these aliens are fiddling with their plans... But in the same way, why can't we study them in reverse? For example, how to use gray marrows to control them? If our progress is faster than them, then who is the prey and who is the hunter?"
Soshyang rubbed his chin and thought about Okam's words, and after a while he said:
"Then what do you think should be done?"
Okam said meaningfully.
"Be your Phoenix King."
"You mean...using the power of the Spirit?"
"Now the Space Necromancer's plan is ahead, and the risk of using the gray-grafted warriors to deal with them is very high, while others... Honestly, the large-scale conflict Astartes has no advantage over the Space Necromancer. Even if they win, they will suffer a lot of losses. Their weapons are very suitable for targets like us."
"There are different spirits?"
"You should know this better than me."
Soshyan thought about it and it was indeed the case. Ada had fought against the fear of the dead since ancient times. They had a deep understanding of these remaining species, and their tactics and equipment were more suitable for dealing with these soulless machinery. It was not said to be restrained, but it was definitely much stronger than that of humans.
The only problem is that the current sparse and scattered population cannot support Aida's tactical intentions and strategic goals.
Well, finally things got back here, he had to prosper and strengthen this lost race like a real Phoenix King.
"I understand, then what do you think of the Third Legion?"
But Okam only said one name.
"Fabius."
"Fabius? I know he might be involved."
"No, I mean, Fabius will definitely be interested in grey. I have collected some information about him in the past. I can be sure that he has been creating something... Maybe he thinks it is perfect, but those so-called perfection is definitely not as good as grey. After he learned about grey from Lucius or other people about grey, or the mysterious ability of the Eleventh Legion, he will definitely not be able to control his desires."
"so what?"
"So, his goals will be inconsistent with the Third Legion. What Fogrim wants is revenge, or to execute the will of the evil god, while Fabius wants to plunder and research. The two may be similar in general, so they will cooperate, but there are huge differences in specific implementation. Fabius will definitely make his own plans and may even act in private. This is an opportunity, an opportunity to defeat the Third Legion, and a chance to capture the skinder alive."
Soshiyang thought for a while and said in confusion:
"I never said I would capture him alive."
"But you need him, or his skills."
"What Talos told you?"
“My own analysis and judgment.”
"As far as he does, I will never be with him, let alone trust him."
"I didn't say that I should trust him. There are many means of using a person, coercion, enslavement, or even manipulation. Why do you have to be friends? Soshiyan, you always try to make people willingly work with you or help you. This is your personality charm, but I must say bluntly that this is also a character flaw. You have to understand one thing. In this galaxy, stupid people, waste people, and people without trust account for the vast majority. You cannot stay in the ivory tower you have built for yourself. You have to realize that whether you are willing or not, you have to have the determination to 'use' such people. After using it, you will destroy or abandon them like garbage. Your principles and bottom lines should be left to those you care about."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Soshiyang stared at Okam's eyes, and after a few seconds of silence, he said slowly:
"Occam, if I were such a person, would you still sit here and say these things to me?"
Okam faced Soshiyan's gaze and actually showed a smile and his white teeth.
"Yes, you're right, so there are so many people who are willing to... protect you, but that's a price."
“I will bear the price of all this.”
Okam shook his head, but did not explain it again, but just returned to Fabius's topic.
"Catching him is not just about using him, but you have to do it if you really want to completely eliminate him."
"Why?"
"Because I guess Fabius may not be killed by normal means. I don't know when it started. At the same time, records of his activities appeared in different places. This shows that one thing is that he is walking on the earth with a replica or clone. Then it is meaningless if he does not find his body and just destroy the clone."
Okam explained this, Soshiyan nodded in approval.
"If this is true, then you can only capture it alive, and then trace the location of his body through the clone. I understand...what are you going to do first?"
Okam blinked, then smiled:
"Take a shower."
Soshiyang was stunned at first, and then was amused by the other party's occasional humor.
"I understand after a long-term plan. Then, I will let you out now, right?"
“Nothing wrong.”
As he said that, Soshiyang stood up.
Chapter completed!
