"The Man-Eating Shark Battle——"
Looking at the pale shark curled up on the screen, Soshi frowned.
The Man-Eating Shark War can be said to be the top ten in the Imperial Mystery. Before the Badab War, they had no sense of existence in the territory of the Empire. Even the ancient archives of the Knights of the Star Realm were just fragmented words.
The only thing that can be confirmed is that they are a Space Marines group with unknown origins, and many information is hidden under various legends.
Soshiyan has always been very interested in those mysterious battle groups that are not famous, and for this reason he has read all the information about the Warrior of the Man-Eatering Shark.
But they were not found in the public records, and this group was like there was no known combat honors that were officially recorded, and some unknown groups used names and symbols similar to them, causing further confusion about the potential misidentification of these groups.
However, after delving into specific ancient works on the history of the Imperial War, Soshiyan mastered some tips and references about the shadow cast by the group. The oldest information is included in the "The Myth of the Angel of Death" written by scholars and civilians of the Terra Military Secretariat. In this usually vague and incomplete book, a Space Marine Corps called the "Star Evil Shark", who were sent to "outer darkness... for endless sailing... to slaughter the enemies that ravage humans", and "without mercy to the traitors, aliens and treacherous people, to root them out of their own territory". This article also seems to be derived from some far-old but now lost literature, which can be traced back to the unknown era of the Star Wars in the late M32/M33.
The period has now been concealed by myths and fables, and its truth has been cleared so thoroughly in the historical record that the high-ranking officials of the Empire did not know the matter as well as those of the Horus Rebellion or the Great Expedition, but the Astral Knights instead recorded some of the things at that time.
The record mentioned that the Man-Eater Shark Team showed a fierce but thoughtful cruelty in several battles, and even those who were indifferent to the empire's methods of war felt that they were terrible.
More importantly, the chapter records also mention that this vicious battle group seemed to have been granted a sacred but never-ending duty: they were entrusted to a voyage to the dark deep space outside the borders of the empire, with the aim of finding, locating and destroying human enemies.
But this alone did not allow Soshiyan to have a deeper understanding of this mysterious battle group, so he turned his head and spoke:
"Instructor Thor, Talos, do you know them?"
For this lack of history, Soshiyan usually seeks help from Saul or Talos.
Talos glanced at the sign and then showed a disgusting expression.
"Ah, of course I know that although I have never fought with them, the guys of Prince Thorn were severely educated by them. They... should be one of the Dark Crow Guards, but according to the War Gang who fought with them, these bastards seem to have some of our bloodlines. As for why they became what they are now, I really can't say."
Thor pondered for a moment, then replied softly:
"I know a little. In the late period of the Great Expedition, the Lord of the Crow exiled a group of descendants, including the senior commander Alkahas Fal. I and him.... Some old acquaintances. This commander is from a Terra. He served in the 19th Legion long before the Lord of the Crow returned. Because he was born in a slave-owner family, he was more intense and was not very friendly to mortals. After he was exiled, I specially asked someone to inquire about his news, but only knew that he and a group of Terra veterans were exiled. As for where he went, no one knew. After the Great Rebellion, I tried to find him, but after searching for him, the only thing I knew was that they went to the dark deep space that could not be shined by the Star Torch Light, and finally had to give up."
"Company Commander Thor, you mean... they are indeed one of the Raven Guards?"
“This is confirmable.”
“Can you still communicate?”
Thor shook his head.
"After so many years, they have changed so much. The war in the dark and deep space has made them even more cruel than in the past."
At this time, the Lord of the Catholic Church also loudly declared the other party's strength.
"——According to the scanned keel identification code, there are five enemy warships, namely the battle barge Nikkor, the tyrant-class cruiser White Taotie, the sword-class frigate Gray Reaper, the Furious Hammer-class frigate Void Hunter, and a Cobra-class destroyer Deep Sea!"
The man-eating Shark has not arrived many fleets this time, but there are at least four companies. Soshiyan must confirm the other party's attitude.
"Communication officer, pick me up the Nickel."
After waiting for about a minute, the communication was connected.
"I am the commander of the Knights of the Astral Realm, Soshyan Arikshay, is the commander of the Tiberis?"
A little while, a low-roaring response rang out from the communicator.
"yes."
Tiberis, nicknamed Scarlet, served as the commander of the Man-Eating Shark during the Badab War, and was therefore considered by the public as the commander of the war team.
It is said that throughout the entire Badab War, he had been wearing an ancient Terminator armor and never showed himself in his true form.
But his terrible combat power spread in just two years.
"I want to know your attitude."
"Suppress the rebellion."
The answer is as simple and indifferent as ever.
"Where is the rebellion?"
"In front of you."
"The Minotao team attacked the wailing people innocently, they were the traitors."
"I only see you attacking the Minotao Group for no reason."
Hearing this, Soshiyang was calculating and did not hide anything, but said loudly:
"So... what price can those people from Terra offer to impress the man-eating shark? How much is the head of Soshiyang?"
This time the other party did not respond, but directly closed the communication.
Then, the voice of the Lord of the Catholic Church sounded again.
"Report! The man-eating shark's fleet is starting to accelerate! Minotao's fleet is also approaching us!"
Soshiyang shook his head.
"What can those people get after paying such a big price?"
Talos grinned.
"Defend their imagined power."
"Since we are unwilling to give up, we will not be merciless. If Terra is destined to have a rain of tears, it is definitely not because of us!"
As he said that, Soshiyang hit the railing violently.
"Send a signal!"
Soon, as the signal was sent, the subspace jump node fluctuated, and then several warships from the White Temple emerged at the same time.
"White Church?"
On the bridge of the Dedaros Power, Astraion's voice suddenly changed.
"Didn't they say they've left?"
At this moment, a voice behind him suddenly spoke:
"It seems that they have formed an alliance with the Astral Knights."
"Judge Marcus, is this to your expectations?"
Marcus, who was walking out of the shadow gently, shook his head.
“This is not planned.”
The appearance of the White Temple was immediately caught by the Man-Eating Shark. Their fleet immediately turned like a stressed shark and aimed at the White Temple fleet closer to them.
