"Soshyan, due to some unexpected circumstances, Kayan and I had to leave for a while."
In the war room, when Soshyan heard Sol say these words, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked subconsciously:
"What's up?"
Sol didn't answer, just shook his head.
Soshyan looked at Kayan aside. He already knew that they both belonged to a mysterious organization, and that organization also included Sevita.
As for who they serve and why the target is acting, Soshyan still knows nothing. Although Kayon and Sol have always said that they are on Soshyan's side, they have always been tight-lipped on this point.
The war was about to begin, and he lost two capable generals at once. Soshyan couldn't help but feel a little regretful, and sighed softly and said:
"It's a pity that I didn't kill Lucius."
Thor smiled slightly.
"This matter is not urgent. With Lucius's character, he will not stop pestering you after this incident, so there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
"But he is much weaker than I expected."
"Well, it's beyond my expectation that you can kill him so easily. It seems that I also underestimated your strength. It is precisely because of this that I can leave with peace of mind. Lucius is probably the one Huron can find.
The strongest combat power, so at least there should be nothing that can threaten your life in the maelstrom."
"Then when are you leaving?"
"Immediately, after saying hello to you, Kayon and I will leave by boat."
"so--"
Soshyan thought for a moment and then said:
"Instructor Saul, there is something I want to show you."
"Um?"
Under Thor's puzzled eyes, Soshyan led the two of them out of the war room, walked through the complicated passages, and finally came to a secret room. When the door opened, Thor happened to see a strong and perfect body sitting in the room.
On the cold hospital bed, a piece of plastic sheet covering the body was draped over the body, and he was still gently twisting his head with his hands, making a cracking sound in his neck.
Hearing footsteps at the door, the man turned around.
The moment he saw the other person's face, Sol's pupils shrank suddenly.
"you--"
He is a handsome man with bronze skin, with short black and slightly curly hair and dark pupils, which are obvious signs of ancient Terra blood. However, if you look closely, you will find that there is a faint golden ring around his pupils, and his limbs are very tall.
He is well-proportioned and strong, his arms are slightly longer than those of a normal person, his sharp face has two thick eyebrows, a high nose, and slightly thick lips, all of which exude nobility and elegance, embodying the Third Legion.
The spirit of perfection that we pursued in the past.
The man looked at Sol, grinned, and then let out a deep voice.
"Hi, Sol."
Sol narrowed his eyes slightly, and Khayon next to him also frowned.
"Are you Amnak? This person is——"
"Amnak, do you want to provoke me by becoming Akulduna?"
Khayon looked surprised when he heard the name Thor spit out.
"Is this Akulduna? The former chief swordsman of the Third Legion?"
Soshyan was also surprised. Although he didn't know who Amnak had turned into, he could surprise Kayan so much. This Akulduna was obviously no small matter.
Then Khayon gave him a brief introduction. It turned out that before the original body returned, the number of the Third Legion began to decrease rapidly due to the crisis of the gene seed, until only two hundred people were left before Chemos discovered the original body.
Akulduna was the Second Captain of the Emperor's Children Legion at that time, and the first Palace Swordsman in the Third Legion. He was also the strongest swordsman among the two hundred remaining members of the Emperor's Children before Fulgrim's return.
Known as "the first of two hundred swordsmen", "the first palace swordsman" and "the eldest son of Fulgen".
As the chief swordsman of the Third Legion, Akulduna is an extremely powerful one-on-one master. It is even rumored that he is one of the few talents in the empire who can rival Sigismund in martial arts. When he was stationed with the Iron Hands Legion,
After defeating all the masters of the entire legion of the Iron Hands, including First Captain Santo, he finally lost to the original body.
However, although this chief swordsman was so powerful, he unfortunately died prematurely. During the Battle of Ganadir, Akulduna took an airborne pod to the enemy's control center command post. After an unparalleled battle,
He died together with the enemy in the reactor explosion, but also destroyed the enemy's key shield.
At this point, his much-anticipated duel with Sigismund ended up being an eternal regret, and recruits like Khayon who only served in the middle and late stages of the Great Crusade only heard of his name but never saw him.
"I see......"
Soshyan nodded with sudden realization, but seeing how excited Sol was, it seemed that there was more to it than that.
Seemingly aware of his thoughts, Akulduna, or Amnak, immediately smiled and said:
"Akulduna was also the swordsmanship instructor of the Emperor's Children. The subsequent palace swordsmen basically came from his teachings, including Thor in front of me, Lavas Kallio, Lucius and others.
"
With a ding sound, Thor drew his sword at lightning speed and pointed it at Amnak.
Soshyan quickly said:
"Instructor Saul, don't be impulsive yet."
Kayon also stretched out his hand to hold Sol's arm.
"Forget it, there is no need to argue with a down-and-out devil."
Facing the cold sword edge, Amnak just smiled and stretched out his hand, gently pinched the opponent's sword tip with his fingers, and suddenly said in a very nostalgic tone:
"Thor, your sword speed still hasn't improved."
Sol immediately said coldly:
"If you speak in this tone again, it will chop off your head."
Soshyan looked at Amnak, his tone became very serious, even a little harsh.
"Explain it immediately, or you won't blame me for being rude."
Amnak sighed softly, shook his head, and let go of the sword.
"Do you think I became like this because I was full and had nothing to do? Having said that, I actually quite admire this pure swordsman. His obsession with swordsmanship is a powerful force that has even surpassed desire.
Category, this is completely different from the power Lucius pursues for showing off in front of others, as dazzling and pure as a gem. I have long planned to lure him into a transcendent realm and turn him into the leading swordsman in the Slaanesh realm.
Therefore, I often penetrated into his dreams while he was still alive. However, what I could do was very limited. I only tried to understand his heart as much as possible and prepare for the subsequent corruption. However, I did not wait for Slaanesh's plan to be launched.
He died early, and I have always suspected that it was a conspiracy from other factions."
After speaking, he looked at Sol.
"When he died, I tried to collect his soul, but in vain. Our power was too weak in this world at that time, but I got something else...his obsession and persistence for the perfection of swordsmanship.
, the concept of narration may be too complicated for you mortals, but Khayon may be able to understand that our essence is just a thought, a short-lived thought, just a part of the great master, so we cannot have self-knowledge.
, just like the person in the mirror cannot see himself outside the mirror, but absorbing the overflowing will power of Akulduna loosened my essence, and I began to recognize myself, which is why I
My swordsmanship can be stronger than the demon disaster, which may ultimately be the fundamental reason why I chose to turn my back on my master."
