The Emperor’s Angel of Death

#2336 - Killing the King

After Sevatar left, Saul sighed softly.

"Soch, are you really planning to start your own business?"

Soch was taken aback and subconsciously replied:

"I have never said such a thing. The Star Knights and the Undying Legion will always belong to the Human Empire. This will never change, even if I die."

But he immediately realized that Saul was not questioning him.

It was more like a hint.

"It's a pity that what you just said was almost like overturning the table."

Saul shook his head.

"Now is not the time. You need to be more cautious. However, I don't think Sevatar will report it immediately."

"Instructor Saul, Amnak has defeated Lucius."

Saul raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing a smile.

"A good lesson, but he will eventually be resurrected. Fabius will restore him."

Soch was silent for a moment, then blurted out another sentence.

"I also met Fulgrim."

The smile disappeared, and no expression could be seen on Saul's face, but that in itself was an expression.

"Instructor Saul, when you first met me, you said that I would kill someone for you. If I guessed correctly, it was actually Fulgrim instead of Lucius, right?

Saul no longer concealed it and admitted frankly.

"Lucius is just a toy of the evil god. His death or life is no longer meaningful. On the contrary, Fulgrim, only you can completely kill him."

For a Space Marine to kill his Primarch, even a fallen Primarch, would shock many people if it were spread out.

"Fulgrim also knows this, he won't easily show up in front of me, but he will definitely send his lackeys. Amnak said that he will let Eidolon reorganize an army. Instructor Saul, I don't know much about the Third Legion. What kind of person is Eidolon?"

When Saul heard this name, his face was filled with contempt.

"Eidolon, just a barking dog and a sycophant, even more despicable than those little things in the Ork tribe. He was once the Legion's Chief Lord Commander and one of the first bastards to fall. He pleased Fulgrim like a pug, but was discarded by the other party like a toy. Even many people in the Legion looked down on him, but when he is sober, he does have some degree of war command talent, and the Noise Marines are also headed by him."

After Saul finished speaking, he paused for a moment, seemingly lost in thought, and said after several minutes:

"He is indeed a trouble now, but the former Legion has already been shattered, and it is not so easy for him to gather people."

"Amnak also said that, but what's coming will always come, right?"

"Well, we do need to be prepared. My personal guess is that at least Julius Kaesoron and Avennus will join him, and Lucius will most likely join them too. These are extremely despicable things. They will try to find weaknesses before attacking, and they enjoy harming the weak. The Chapter must always protect the homeworld. They wouldn't mind plundering mortals for their twisted revenge."

"I will establish a complete early warning system in the Neson Star System. If they dare to come, they will never return. It would be best if Fulgrim came along too."

"Fulgrim won't lower himself to act with these people, but there will always be a chance, there will be."

So Soch said very seriously:

"If there is a real chance, Instructor Saul, I will definitely fulfill my promise and do my best to kill Fulgrim."

But Saul said something that surprised him.

"It's not just about killing him."

Saul paused, then reached out and patted Soch's arm.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Thank you for always remembering this. I will chat with you in detail when I have time, Soch. Although we are all props on the stage, you must believe that our goal is always to let you have a safe ending and let you always be the protagonist of this play."

Soch nodded, then looked at Kayan. Saul knew they had something to say, so he turned and walked towards the exit.

"I'm going to the training ground to see the new recruits."

"Kayan, you have been to the Blackstone Fortress, and we also broke into Commorragh together and rescued Veronica. I trust you as much as I trust Instructor Saul. I hope you don't mind too much that I know your identity, because now I can understand what it means to be involuntary."

Kayan touched his bald head and replied with some melancholy:

"Actually, it doesn't matter. It was all for Nephthali. Only you and I could go to Commorragh to rescue people at that time, but I was just a prisoner at the time, and my psychic power at that time had been almost destroyed by the grey marrow on your body. Only they could help me recover and gain your trust. It was a deal that had to be done."

"Thank you for being willing to tell me so much. At least we did rescue Nephthali."

"It's a pity that once this play is on stage, it can never be withdrawn."

"Maybe things aren't that bad."

Kayan chuckled when he heard this.

"It seems that power has also brought you immense confidence, Soch. Then what else do you want to say to me, or want to ask me?"

Soch stared into the other person's eyes and said in a deep voice:

"Kayan, will you still help me as always, right?"

Kayan nodded and replied calmly:

"As always."

"Then I have nothing to ask. Let us continue to maintain trust in each other. Oh, by the way, Kayan, what do you think of Commorragh?"

"Commorragh?"

Kayan blinked.

"In what aspect?"

"Well, the defense forces of this place, and other potential military forces, such as if the Empire were to launch a large-scale attack on Commorragh or even conquer this place, how many troops do you personally think would be enough?"

Kayan touched his chin and thought for a while, then said in an uncertain tone:

"First of all, just entering the Webway is already difficult. Even if you put that aside, Soch, you also know that the Salamanders once attacked Commorragh, right? But attacking a place and conquering one are completely different concepts, and the Salamanders' attack itself was Vect using a knife to kill people. In reality, only one or two major nobles of Commorragh were mobilized, and the other forces were watching the show. But if an attack is launched with the posture of conquest and destruction, then all the forces of Commorragh will resist desperately, after all, they have no other way out in a sense. Anyway, in my personal feeling, even the most powerful Legions in the Great Crusade, such as the Luna Wolves, the Ultramarines, and the Imperial Fists, it would be difficult to conquer Commorragh with just the Legion's own strength."

Since Kayan said so, Soch didn't express any opinion on this and nodded:

"I understand."

Suddenly, he slapped his head.

"Look at my memory, I almost forgot one more thing. Let's go back to my office, and I'll tell you in detail about the being who claimed to be the Master of the Soul Forge that I met in the Maelstrom, and some of the things I got from it."
