In response to the new arrangements for the diocese proposed by Soshiyan, Talos thought for a while and nodded.
"I don't think there is any big problem. Tyron has too many numbers, and it will probably be cleaned up in a while. After this battle, the personnel and fleet were exhausted and suffered huge losses. It is difficult to organize new attacks in a short period of time, so I can only turn to passive defense."
Then he put on a meaningful smile.
"But your goal is more than that, right?"
"The Grand Diocese hangs alone on the edge of the Storm Star Domain, and is also the gateway barrier of Zhao Akada. If it is lost, the casting world will be difficult to protect, so it must be militarized. At the same time... Maybe others may have misunderstandings, but I think you should understand that I must prepare a way out for the legion."
After saying that, Suo Shiyang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Talos, have you heard of the Claws of Ashes?"
Talos turned his head and thought for a while, and said:
"It seems to be a little bit of an impression...is it from the ghoul stars?"
"Yes, someone attacked Beyetan before and said he was an unmarked Space Marine. I sent Rangers to investigate. At that time, I guessed that this group of people is more likely, but last time, I returned to the royal court. Doral reported that it is highly likely that this group of people is not this group of people, because they are not that many people and are not well equipped. What's more, they have never left the ghoul stars recently. I read the detailed report and didn't expect that they were former Terra warriors exiled by Corax. For ten thousand years, they... still stick to their own paths and even live with mortals."
As he said that, Soshiyang rubbed his face.
"I think every day, what will happen to the Legion in the future? What will happen to things? Is gray marrow a force or a disaster? What arrangements does He and the pseudo-Macado have for the Legion? These questions circling in my mind every moment. I have thought about the best and worst situations... Destiny is impermanent, and the future is unpredictable, so I can only try to make some arrangements within my ability."
Talos lowered his head, as if staring at his shadow, and said slowly:
"With your current strength, you don't need to worry so much."
"Yes, of course, even the so-called demonic primordial is just a minion in front of me, but as I said, Soshiyang is Soshiyang."
Soshiyang also looked down at his palm.
"I am not fearless, I still have fear in my heart. I am afraid of the contempt and hatred gazes cast by those who call me brothers. I am afraid that my hands should not be stained with blood... I am afraid that the soldiers who regard me as children curse me as traitors and aim their weapons at me. Does it sound hypocritical? I have already reached this point today, but I have begun to be afraid."
As he said that, he laughed dryly.
"I suddenly understood the reason why the pseudo-Macado arranged so many 'missions' and 'routes' for me. While letting me taste the sweet charm of fame and fortune, I also swallow the bone-eating taste of fame and fortune. I am an old thing who is well versed in human nature and likes to play with people's hearts. Once a person is raised, he will not be able to get off... I am the highly anticipated empire hero, so how can I be the husband of Queen Ada? I am the Astart star that countless people look up to, so how can I be a monster who manipulates the power of the Star God? I should be a war machine without blood, tears, and ruthlessness. How can I linger in the arms of a woman?"
The next moment, he clenched his fist.
"So, brother, if you kill him, will all these problems be solved?"
Talos raised his head and shook his head again.
“It can’t be solved.”
Soshiyang sighed and his fist also let go.
"Yes, it can't be solved..."
"They can't bear the price you can't bear it."
"So I didn't turn against him or obey him, but as time went on, I had a premonition that the game would soon reach the prisoner's dilemma."
Talos stepped forward and put his hands on his shoulders.
"On the contrary, I think it is Veronica's existence that allows you to jump out of the circle that you can't jump out of. When you feel that the road ahead is not working, then change your identity and position, because people will think about problems based on their own position and role. This is a way to adapt to social structure and organizational operations. I'm not saying that it's wrong to decide your head, but your situation is special and you must have a certainty in your heart."
"I know all this, but there are some things I really can't say to others, and you are the only one."
As he said that, Soshiyang crossed his arms, held his hands on his shoulders, and said very seriously:
"Brother, you'll be by my side all the time, right?"
Talos nodded.
"I will always be here, brother, no matter how life or death."
With four eyes facing each other, Soshiyang suddenly felt a warm feeling of his eyelids, and then two drops of tears fell on the knees of the armor, shattering to pieces.
He was stunned for a moment, then wiped his face with the back of his hand, and then smiled bitterly.
"Am I so sentimental now..."
Talos, with a sad face, stood up straight.
"It's nothing, I'll go see those little bastards."
"Well, you go and do it."
When Talos walked towards the exit, Soshiyan, who was facing away from him, did not notice that the other party's shadow suddenly became very long and twisted into a thin and hunched body, and tilted at a strange angle, stretching out his hand in the direction of Soshiyan, as if he was trying to touch something.
As the door opened, all the lights lit up and the shadows disappeared without a trace, leaving only Soshiyang alone pressing a button on the conference table, and data boards rose up one by one.
He still has many matters to deal with, various combat reports that require him to personally appraise, specific losses of personnel, ammunition, and equipment, promotion lists for new officers of the auxiliary army, commendation orders for outstanding knights, lists of seriously injured Space Marines' fearless transformation, etc., and they don't have much time to do.
One of the issues that Soshiyan is most concerned about is the casualties of the auxiliary army. In this war in the Westeros galaxy, the number of casualties of the auxiliary army reached 340,000, and 110,000 seriously injured, one quarter of which was Pushbanti, and the rest were Vashti. If we count the previous series of wars, the number of casualties of the auxiliary army reached 620,000. You should know that a total of 2.5 million auxiliary troops were brought before the war, and many regiments were exhausted. These people were all pillars of the same family, playing the role of father, son, and brother. Now they are all buried in alien fangs and claws, and even the bodies cannot be retrieved.
The only thing Soshiyan could do was to give their loved ones enough pensions and a dry death notice and condolence letter.
As for the casualties of militia, the number of them is too large to even count the detailed numbers, but they are as many as those of the auxiliary army. This is still an estimate. Soshiyang guessed that the actual number should be about ten times.
These people could not leave their names and had no number. They had no idea what they did. They left only a vague and cold number, and they could not even give some pensions, because the misunderstanding of the list of personnel was very serious, and most of their relatives were scattered. They could only give the militia relatives as much as possible according to the existing list, and make arrangements after returning to the hinterland of the cathedral.
The subspace navigation did not last long, and when the fleet returned to the physical universe without any accident, they were already on the edge of the galaxy where the cardinal world was located.
However, just as soon as we established a communication with the Cardinal World, Soshyan received a very urgent news from Ustad, but it was not related to the war here, but from the distant alliance of suffering-
