Previously, Soshiyan was able to lead the Bone Dynasty to easily reach the Screaming Vortex because he knew where the enemy was and could use the nearest tombstone gate to maneuver quickly. However, Soshiyan was 100% sure that Menak's nest was definitely not in Orpus. Although he could also transfer the Bone Dynasty to Orpus to participate in the war, this was full of uncertainty and danger.
The skinners are not as easy to control as Ada. If they say they don’t conflict with humans, they won’t conflict with humans. Their uncontrollable is a double-edged sword. They are a destructive plague for the dynasty of the Dead and an omnipresent ghost for humans. If they want to play a role, they must be decisive. Finding the core world of the Menak dynasty, and one blow will kill them, at least transforming them all. Joining the Olps War Zone will only alarm the snake.
Realizing that the complexity of this battle was more than he expected, Soshiyan explained some things to Valgur and quickly returned to the main star of Amara. It was only two days after he left.
Talos was obviously surprised by his unexpected return, and Soshiyan also told the other party bluntly that he might not have any cards to play. In order to find out the situation of the Menak Dynasty, he planned to take a risk, that is, to go to the fallen galaxy near Alama in person, find a way to catch a few skinners and see what is different about them.
In order to keep it a secret, he had to let Talos continue to take charge of Amara's affairs, and he only took Amnak on a clutch.
Talos did not agree with Soshiyang's approach to risking the enemy's realm alone, because the actions of the Menak dynasty were indeed too strange, and it seemed that he could grasp Soshiyang's all-round fatal points, which made his powerful external forces unable to exert at all, which means that there must be an existence among them who is very familiar with Soshiyang's recent situation. With this existence, adventure itself is extremely dangerous.
But Soshiyan really didn't want to sit here and wait for death, but Talos immediately pointed out another thought he had hidden - Soshiyan actually wanted to use himself as bait to fish out Menak's ambush or trump card, or even bigger fish.
There is no doubt that this is extremely dangerous, and it is also the very few Talos' decision to insist on opposing Soshiyan in something.
But Soshiyan had made up his mind. After coming to Orps, he became more and more uneasy. He always felt that what would happen. Even if he was in danger this time, he would have to flow into this muddy water. Otherwise, when the other party really played the cards, he actually had no confidence that he could really take it. After all, if Amara really lost, he wouldn't know how to play later.
Besides, as a Space Marine, if he doesn’t even have the courage to go deeper, it proves that he has indeed been “corrupted” by power and status.
After making some simple arrangements, Soshyan and Amnak boarded a new star frigate and sailed towards the McKinney Galaxy, the closest to Amara in the name of reconnaissance. Of course, he was not without any help. The royal court had already received instructions to send a high-speed fleet to lurk near the McKinney Galaxy to support it at any time.
As a galaxy close to the capital area, the McKinney Galaxy was once quite prosperous, but it is a galaxy focusing on agricultural output. The four human planets are all agricultural worlds, and in a sense they are also Amara's granaries. After it fell, Amara's food supply began to experience a serious crisis, so it had to be transported from more distant areas.
The warship encountered no danger along the way, and after reaching the orbit of McKinney's main star, it scanned the entire planet.
It has no nests, only a large number of scattered settlements and cities, a large number of farmlands and pastures are distributed on the fertile land, and a huge platform of fishery resources is spread on the blue ocean.
Finally, Soshiyan chose to go to the planet's capital, a large coastal city near the equator. This city is piled up by disorderly buildings and has the only airport on the planet.
Taking the shuttle, Soshyan and Amnak arrived on the city's beach.
Apart from the sound of waves, there is only deathly quiet
This was Soshiyan's first impression of the planet, who was already ready for any possible attack, but nothing happened.
"The road to God is long and long, so I have always advised you to try to cut off those non-essential ties."
Walking on the soft beach, Amnak looked very relaxed, and Soshiyan did not hide it from him. Amnak's view was also unique. He believed that many of Soshiyan's "weaknesses" were created by himself, because Soshiyan never gave up the identity of Astart in his heart, so his ideas and behaviors were very easy to predict and arrange.
For example, in this Olps, Soshyan could come late, not even come, or just send someone else, but he would definitely come in person.
So the solution is actually very simple. Soshiyan takes the awareness of a real high-ranking person and gives up the values ​​and honor that belong to Astart, which is already a burden to him, so it will not be easy for the other party to set up a plan for him.
Soshyan did not respond to this, but Amnak's relaxed attitude relieved some of his inner uneasiness. Perhaps things were not that serious.
At least, with his strength, it can still be dealt with.
"Unless...unless someone forces me to do this."
Stopped, Soshyan responded to Amnak's question for the first time, and the other party turned around and looked at him playfully.
"Someone must force you?"
"This is a test for me, and for them, and for Him. I still accept everything they arranged with the greatest patience, because I still trust those once noble ideals, but if they prove that the so-called ideals are ultimately just the hysteria of a madman and the cycle of tens of thousands of years of civilization history... Then I have nothing to say."
Amnak smiled.
"Then I'm very confident, human...I understand so much."
"Maybe, but it's too early."
The two quickly walked into the city center. Because the city was staircased, surrounded by various types of residences, stone pillars and carved beams hinted at their certain wealth as the capital of the planet. This area seemed to have just rained and the ground was a little wet.
Even if you look at it, you can imagine its prosperity once, but now it only has silence and rain cannot erase the stench of death.
The whole town was filled with the smell of dead bodies, a ubiquitous stench, a foul smell that penetrated the soil.
But Soshyan did not see a corpse, not even a scavenger, as if a force that was more terrible than death spread across the dead city.
"Strange, why are there no corpses?"
