Chapter 174

"At the beginning, it was just a conflict, killing for one's own selfish desires and killing each other... But this has happened a lot. We know that their minds and bodies have been corrupted, their belief system has been distorted, and there is no simple conflict behind. This is a rebellion against the emperor."

Hearing soshyan's words, malakin nodded in silence.

"There are many forms of rebellion. It can be blatant. Just like the rebellion that swept the star sea, it may be difficult to detect and hide opportunities, but the final result is the same."

Soshyan's smile was as bright and sharp as the sword blade around each other's waist.

Then almin came forward and handed malakin a huge green head, as if he wanted to give it as a gift.

Malakin stared unbelievably at the huge and heavy head. For a moment, soshyan even felt that the other party might not accept the booty.

After a while, malakin took the head with his empty hand and handed it over to the soldiers around him.

"I'd like to witness your intention, commander soshjan."

He said, sheathing his sword.

At this time, another voice on the high platform rang.

"Seeing you holding the sword, I thought you couldn't wait to go to war."

It's Lord Mazar. His voice is not friendly.

The Lord of the temple of death stepped down from the platform step by step, with an aggressive posture, the end of the sickle in his hand crossed the metal floor and made a harsh friction sound.

It's like a beast rubbing its fangs.

"We are always ready to fight the enemy of the emperor."

Malakin responded.

Soshyan, who stood between them, naturally knew how this natural hostility came about.

This can be traced back to 2000 years ago. During the ninth black expedition, mourners were ordered to go to the Cardian region to resist the invasion of the chaos legion. At that time, the bitter Walker regiment was also in this battle.

In a battle to protect the planet, the mourners were surrounded by heavy enemy troops, so they asked for help from the nearest sufferers, but the sufferers not only did not respond, but also abandoned the helpless mourners out of distrust.

Finally, it was the reinforcements of white scars and extreme soldiers who arrived and saved the mourners' regiment, but the regiment also suffered a devastating blow. There were only 200 soldiers left, which could not be completely recovered until 2000 years later. Before the outbreak of the Barbuda war, there were only 800 mourners.

Therefore, since the ninth black expedition, the mourners' regiment has blacklisted the bitter Walker regiment who once failed to save their lives.

Of course, neither Mazar nor malakin was even born at that time.

But this does not affect their natural hostility to each other.

"But you are with the enemy of the emperor?"

As soon as Mazar said this, the mourners' soldiers became restless and put their hands to their weapons.

After seeing this, the soldiers of the bitter Walker regiment made the same action.

The atmosphere stiffened.

Soshyan could not help sighing in his heart.

At first, when Lord Mazar heard the arrival of the mourners, his first idea was to send a fleet to destroy them. If sosh had not known it with reason and emotion, I'm afraid the track of gage was full of debris.

The war in the great vortex Star area has been transmitted to all directions. After all, this is the largest ASTA collective rebellion since the Horus rebellion. Only people like soshyan who have been floating in sub space and took over the regiment soon know nothing about this event.

Of course, when he first heard the general situation of the whole battle, he was also very shocked.

The role of Huron, soshyan, was heard when he was a soldier. As the protector of the vortex, his achievements are beyond doubt.

But such a hero betrayed the Empire and became an abominable traitor.

Leaving aside the complex political factors, it is obviously a great blow to astat's reputation. Therefore, the world may examine astat's existence with suspicion.

However, soshyan also realized that the rebellion had its particularity. The renegade regiment was not against the emperor or chaotic pollution, but more out of confrontation with the imperial bureaucracy.

The underlying reason is the rebound caused by the continuous erosion of the independence of astat by the high Lord Parliament of Tara.

For example, the seemingly reasonable 11 tax has become a heavy burden on most combat groups after a long time. The astat combat group itself has been operating in high-intensity conflict areas for a long time, which is prone to huge casualties. However, the 11 tax does not take into account the actual personnel loss, which is divorced from its original intention and has become a tool for simply seizing the combat group.

What's more, in principle, when the regiment encounters serious casualties, it can apply for supplementary taxes.

But the Empire's slow bureaucratic system makes this possibility very small. It is equivalent to that the 11 taxes are completely "swallowed".

Then they stay in the seed bank of Mars for thousands of years, even if the old regiment has died out.

The star knight is the best example.

The 11 taxes they have paid over the years add up to thousands, but when the regiment is seriously traumatized, don't even expect to get one from Mars. The high lords prefer to directly form a new regiment.

A better controlled regiment.

The astates did not have no problem with this, but the emperor was gone and the mother was gone. The astatic order lost its voice in the highest authority of the Empire. When the imperial bureaucrats took out a lot of rules to restrain them and even took out laws to try them, they could not find any institution to argue for them.

Only those start-ups can rely on their own prestige to resist the invasion of imperial institutions, but they are only limited to self-protection.

This is one of the reasons why soshyan can resonate with the mourners.

He never expressed dissatisfaction with the Empire, but it does not mean that he has forgotten what the high Lord Council of Tara did after the demise of the regiment.

"We've shed enough blood."

Soshyan raised his hand and turned first to Lord Mazar and then to malakin.

"I heard that when green skin is bored, it will fight with its own people first. Have we stayed with green skin for a long time and become a little like them?"

"Of course not."

Mazar shrugged and put the sickle on his shoulder. Malakin released his sword hand, but his expression did not relax.

"If you just want to see our jokes, you're satisfied."

With that, malakin turned and left.

But soshyan pressed his shoulder.

"We didn't mean that."

Malakin did not stop, but did not look back.

"We're just passing by, but we have to go to other star regions for an atonement expedition. I appreciate your kindness, commander soshyang."

"The purpose of the atonement expedition is to fight against the enemies of the emperor. You can also be satisfied here."

"We have less than 300 people and can't help you."

"Then, commander malakin war, would you like to take a look at my flagship? After reading it, you may decide again."

Malakin thought for a moment and finally turned around.

"Well, for your kindness, commander sohyan war, I'd like to go with you."
