After inspecting the main production areas of the Forge World, Soshyan thought twice and decided to let Ulan Huda set off for the Brakato System immediately, because there would be a risk of being discovered if he stayed in the Nessen System.
So he then handed the Sanqian key to Bangura, and Bangura immediately sent the key back after starting the subspace engine.
After exchanging some secrets, the two of them had a considerable level of trust in each other.
During this period of planetary subspace navigation, Soshyan still stayed on the forge world. The residence Bangura arranged for him was a luxurious palace attached to the Brilliant Palace in the center of the Sky Circle. In the past, this place was used to receive legion envoys.
and the highest standard residence for the Mars Messenger.
"Well......"
Standing on the huge protruding balcony, Soshyan, wearing a loose nightgown, was staring at the flashing neon lights. This was his first real rest in a week.
Once entering the subspace, the entire world is basically in a long night, because the planet's giant Geller force field separates the distorted subspace light.
Holding the wine glass in his hand, Soshyan was thinking about how to speed up the construction of the new base, and how to adjust the structure of the war group, and for some reason he thought of Veronica.
There were many things, but he didn't understand any of them.
Ding dong——
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
"It's me, can we chat?"
Sol's voice sounded from the microphone, and Soshyan said softly:
"Open the door."
The door opened, and Thor, still wearing power armor, walked in.
He walked straight through the hall, came to Soshyan's side, and then put his hands on the guardrail of the balcony.
Soshyan didn't ask him why he came to see her, and Sol didn't speak either. The two of them just stared at the city lights in the distance in silence.
About half an hour later, Sol sighed and said:
"I actually disagree, but I still want to know what you really think. Over the years, I have witnessed the growth of you and this war group. I understand that you already know a lot, and maybe you no longer treat me as well.
I was so trusting in the past, but I still remember... When you first became Chapter Leader, you were always a person who loved asking questions. Almost everything made you think, so I believe you must have it now too.
There are many, many problems, but you have gradually forgotten how to talk, because of responsibility?"
Soshyan's shoulders sank slightly and he placed the cup on the railing.
"Instructor Sol, I have always trusted you. Without you, I might still be struggling with my brothers in desperate situations... But, well, sometimes I just don't know how to face it.
To you."
"Like you always do, tell me your problems."
Soshyan was silent for a moment, bent down and pressed his elbows on the railing, and whispered:
"Instructor Thor, Space Marines are not supposed to have feelings, right?"
Thor stared into the distance, the breeze blowing his long hair, making him look like a living statue.
After that, he said slowly in a long tone:
"In the story of mortals, we have no fear, there is nothing in our minds and hearts but determination and burning rage, our souls should be solid as rock, and all emotions should be silent beneath plastic steel and flesh, but the truth
…As always, it cannot be easily described in words.”
"the truth......"
Soshyan chewed this word over and over, which was supposed to be very simple, but in the end there was no result.
"What is the truth?"
"The truth is that if we had no feelings at all, we would have failed in countless wars long ago."
"this......"
"Without guilt, we will only be numb in the endless killing. Without anger, we will be defeated in front of powerful enemies. Without pride, we will not be able to appreciate the real feeling of honor. Without sadness, we will not cherish the brothers and sisters around us.
, although we do not feel fear, there is still something hidden deep in our hearts. Even if these make our hearts not perfect, they will remind us of those things that have been lost. The reason why we are different from those of the Mechanicus
Weapons of war, and can be more powerful than them, are that emotions can refining our souls and reach a higher level..."
Soshyan remained silent, Sol stopped talking, and the two fell into silence again.
About ten minutes later, Soshyan said:
"Instructor Saul, can you tell me why you are opposed to this?"
"Because although feelings can be a part of us, they should not become our fatal flaw. Look at Khayon. Do you know why he follows Abaddon? In fact, he has never been interested in Abaddon's grand ideals, but feelings have
It became his Achilles' heel. His joining the Black Legion was just a kind of empathy. He couldn't find an ideal to rest on, so after letting go of his hatred, his hope of seeking a goal again was all transferred to Abaddon. However, after ten thousand years of war,
, this emotion seems to have gradually faded away, and only the love for the Dark Eldar is left... His heart is too empty, there is nothing except emotion, and he will do anything for emotion, putting himself and Abaddon
The only friendship we had was spent in the attack on Comoros. Since then, Abaddon has recognized him and no longer regards him as a confidant, so even if he does not fall into your hands, his ending
It won’t be good either.”
Soshyan lowered his head, pursed his lower lip and thought for a long time, and finally nodded.
"I understand, Instructor Sol, thank you."
Sol didn't say anything, just patted him on the shoulder, then turned and left.
Thanks to the mysterious engine in the center of the earth, Ulan Huda arrived at the Brakato system in only three days of standard Terra time, and then found a place closer to the star and stopped.
The long-lost sunlight once again shrouded the forge world. With Soshiyan's permission, Bangura immediately sent out a survey team to explore and analyze the mineral and biological resources of the galaxy. At the same time, he also conducted a survey of the original and formed human settlements in the galaxy.
Sending a team of priests will, on the one hand, improve their overall technological level, and on the other hand, increase the Forge World's influence in the galaxy.
It won't be long before Ulan Huda, like other forge worlds, will monopolize the machinery and technology of the entire galaxy.
The rest of the Chapter did not know that such a forging world existed until then, but no one seemed too surprised.
The first task Ulanhuda received from Soshyan was not to immediately produce equipment for space warriors, but to produce a large number of weapons for mortal use. Because after experiencing the repeated attacks on Nessen IV, Soshyan
Shiyan clearly realized that it was not enough to rely on space warriors to protect a system. In the future, a very large mortal force would be needed to ensure that the Brakato system would not be attacked by a small group of enemies during their expedition.
