The Emperor’s Angel of Death

"Please forgive Azmodai for his rudeness before."

In the cabin of the Stormbird, Soshyan and Azrael were sitting opposite each other on both sides of the cabin, and there were only the two of them inside.

Hearing Azrael's words, Soshyan smiled.

"It's fine, but interrogating priests is always so...frenzied?"

"This is the embodiment of Azmodai's uncompromising nature. Although he is harsh to everyone, no one is unwilling to fight with him in battle. His efforts against the enemy are outstanding. The dedication was also exemplary, and he was completely irreproachable in at least two places, one in the interrogation room and the other on the battlefield."

"Sounds like some kind of balancing act?"

"Your senses are sharp, brother."

Azrael admitted:

"When I first became the Supreme Master, because I was too young, the battle brothers acted recklessly in front of me, spoke rashly and behaved recklessly, and even disrespected authority. Although they never disobeyed orders, all of this was in front of Azmodai They didn't even dare to think that punishment can purify the soul and restore discipline. Sappho is sometimes too lenient. It is precisely because of Azmodai's support that I can organize the battle group in a very short time, and more importantly— "

The Supreme Master of the Dark Angels smiled wryly.

"Whatever flaws Azmodai's character has, dishonesty is not one of them, and that's even more rare in the Warband. He's one of the few who doesn't hide his views, no matter how...outrageous they may be."

Soshyan nodded thoughtfully.

"I understand. You taught me another lesson. Temperance and kindness are choices, not must. Sometimes I also wonder if I am too lenient to the soldiers."

"The balance is a tricky one. Azmodai has his strengths, but he is also destructive and capricious. On the one hand, he will seek atonement for any misdeeds of his own. On the other hand, He will use the interrogation request to pretend to be a tiger, but turn a blind eye to his arrogance and hypocrisy. His behavior style is indeed very subtle in a sense, but it is too "noisy". Brother Soshyan, you should understand, for us Some things are better left alone, which is why I chose Sappho to be the dean over Azmodai. "

At this time, Suoshyan asked with a smile:

"Then I'm even more curious, how did you convince them to let me participate in this...confidential internal meeting?"

Azrael shrugged.

"I'm just saying that we have to choose between letting the traitor go and explaining things to you. There is no third way. In the end, everyone chose the second way, because I added, Samuel I've told you everything you should and shouldn't say."

"Ha, isn't Captain Samuel going to take the blame?"

"The Master Hunt has his duties, he has the right to act as he sees fit, and no one can be blamed for these things

Soshyan nodded, and then wanted to tell the other party that he had encountered the Primarch of the White Scar once, to see how Azrael would react, but he swallowed the words again.

It may not be a good thing to tell about this matter. It is really hard to judge what level of secret the Primarch belongs to in the First Legion. It would be bad if it caused trouble or affected the relationship with Azrael.剦

Maybe another time would be better.

Afterwards, Soshyan confided to Azrael the trifles that annoyed and angered him during the expedition, as well as some complaints to the High Lords Council. Azrael didn't say a word during the process, just quietly Listen quietly.

After Soshyan finished speaking, the supreme mentor said slowly:

"Actually, these things... Only you will be troubled. This is not derogatory, because if a mortal is a commander, then he has probably been overwhelmed by the heavy military affairs, and has no energy to think and pay attention to other things. The problem...and since the first expedition of Saintess Sabat in 41, and the second expedition when the Supreme Council of Terra awarded Sledo the title of Warmaster in 41, the Sabat sector has been in a state of seesaw for two hundred years in between

, until the last rebel army in the 41 Sabat area was wiped out, two consecutive war commanders, assembled an army of more than one billion, and it took nearly forty years to quell a group of chaos rebels mainly composed of mortals, but brother, you want to It takes five years to eliminate the second largest group of Chaos Space Marines after the Black Legion. If I were someone else, I would definitely say that he is arrogant. "

Azrael said, paused, a smile appeared on his face.

"But it's only you, brother, as I said, no mortal can coordinate such a big situation like you, and you still have the strength to fight against that corrupt bureaucracy, you've done enough I can’t find anything perfect in this empire. Now I know what the empire is like. For example, why did the Sabat expedition take so long? Because that expeditionary force was full of incompetent and corrupt elements. A brave and resourceful general like Lieutenant General Andres Kahnheide would be framed to death by villains, even that Marshal Markalo could not do anything about it, not to mention the blood of countless brave soldiers because of all kinds of blood. Wasted for some stupid reason."

The Supreme Master of the Dark Angels said, his voice gradually lowered, and he turned his gaze to the gradually clear sky outside the window.剦

"Maybe all we can do is support this crumbling empire on our shoulders, and if we can last a day... just a day."

Soon, the Stormbird arrived on the ground of Planet Sagan, and Soshyan brought the Dark Angel and his party to the command center. At this time, all the high-level commanders of the Astartes battle group assembled in Sagan were also waiting here up.

When Soshyan and Azrael walked in, many people were quite surprised.

Afterwards, Soshyan gave everyone a brief introduction to each other, and the atmosphere at the scene was quite harmonious~www.readwn.com~ There were no old conflicts or grievances among the battle groups present.

Of course, Asterion Moro, the Minotaur's Chapter Leader, was also present at this meeting, but he stood alone in an inconspicuous position, and he was not gregariously visible to the naked eye.

Afterwards, three giant imaging devices were activated, and detailed battle situations in different theaters appeared on them.

"...As you can see, the main battlefield of our army is currently located on the main star of Badab, as well as the Lamptan galaxy and the vulture galaxy. After Huron was repelled by our army from Angstrom, They have been building fortifications in the Bloody Skeleton Galaxy and Kerkeria Galaxy, and put on a passive defensive posture, but before the nail of Badab is not pulled out, the opponent still has the possibility of another large-scale attack. Khosaro Khan is conducting a harassing guerrilla attack on the Bloody Skeleton galaxy, but the effect is not significant so far.”

"According to the latest battle report from Marshal Helbrecht, with the help of the gray knights, they have suppressed the demons summoned by Hong Suo, and found a way to break the opponent's defense. As long as the demon silver towers are destroyed, The fleet can safely carry out bombing missions in orbit. Considering the possibility of the intervention of the renegade Fourth Army, Marshal Helbrecht intends to destroy the Silver Tower while directly launching a full-scale attack on the enemy's ground facilities. The limit fortification breaks through at the moment when the enemy's defense collapses, and achieves the goal of a quick victory."
