On the morning of the star Knight monastery fortress, soshyan led the honor guard to assemble at the planetary airport to meet the fleet that had just arrived.

On the console, soshyan, wearing full ceremonial armor, looked at the holographic projection in front of him, and a noble face appeared in it.

Then he smiled.

"Hello, brother malakin."

Soshyan warmly welcomed:

"I'm glad you arrived safely."

The other party responded with a calm smile.

"Long time no see, brother soshyan."

The welcoming ceremony was brief and rapid, and the accompanying Lord Mazar appropriately expressed his brotherhood. Then the three war leaders entered the room used for secret meeting in the monastery.

Soshyan placed a long table and four chairs in it. The wide door was closed, and the soldiers of the three regiments were guarded outside.

"This is an expedient measure."

After a long narration and explanation, soshyan summarized his actions.

"The end of the fortieth millennium was full of crisis. Abaddon's Black Legion increased the frequency of invading the Empire. The tyron Zerg attacked one star area after another. The green skin is always a hidden danger... If we strictly abide by the dogma, we can't stand the world we want to protect and the bloody soldiers."

Soshyan sat in a chair with the flag of the star Knight hanging behind him. Similarly, there was the flag of the ascetic behind Mazar's chair.

Malakin did not take his seat. He paced and meditated with worry.

"Soshyan has explained his idea to me in detail not long ago. Although some of the details worry me a little, I am more and more aware of its value."

Mazar's words made malakin stop. He looked at them and whispered:

"But it's easy to misunderstand others."

Soshyan sat back in his chair with his hands flat on the table.

"Brother malakin, what do you mean?"

"I am not referring to the alliance. Although this may be unexpected, it is not without precedent..."

Malakin considered his words carefully.

"About the soul drinker... Brother soshyan, do you remember the end of Huron?"

"I know this is shocking, so I am willing to share this secret with my most trusted brother to prove that I am not the same as Huron."

Malakin looked up and looked through the window of his room at the faint light of the midnight sky.

After a long time, the son of Saint Gilles said quietly:

"We have all witnessed disasters, fratricide, falling stars and Demons... Ancient nightmares are making a comeback."

Malakin immediately turned around and looked at soshyan sincerely.

"Brother soshyan, I am moved by your trust. Even if you know what Huron did, you are still unwilling to deceive me. I am also willing to believe that you are essentially different from that traitor."

Soshyan stood up and pointed to another empty chair.

"I once made this oath, and now I solemnly promise you that once the stain on the soul drinker's flag is erased, I will let the soldiers restore their original identity and rebuild their regiment without any delay or argument."

"Will you swear so?"

Malakin looked at him with burning eyes.

"Sincerely."

Malakin took a deep breath.

"So it's decided?"

"That's it."

Mazar stood up and drew out his sword.

Malakin walked back to his own chair and pulled out his sabre, while soshyang pulled out Shengyan sword.

Three weapons crossed on the long table, making a metal crash.

"We swear, watch each other and never betray!"

At the same time, in the underground prison of the monastery fortress, a dark body slowly walked into the dark tunnel.

Soon, the light came on, the heavy cell door opened, and the figure walked into the cell.

Talos, sitting on a metal bench, looked up, but did not speak.

His wrists, ankles and neck were tied with iron ropes nailed into the concrete floor.

"What are you going to do?"

Talos said lazily:

"Are you going to add some food to me today? I'm really tired of these cold rations."

"Would you like some 'painstaking rose'?"

The voice entering the cell said with a smile. Talos almost jumped out of his chair when he heard the term - if not bound by chains.

Painstaking rose is the most famous wine in his former hometown.

He stared at the figure, recalled the voice, and whispered:

"A company commander..."

Sevita lifted her hood and revealed her pale face and dark eyes like Talos.

"You have always been a difficult person to understand, which impressed me."

"That's my pleasure."

Talos made a mocking sound and leaned against the wall.

"It's a great honor to be remembered by saivita, the great warrior of the emperor of God and the prince of crows."

"Your mockery means nothing to me, Talos."

Sevita went to the other side of the cell and leaned against the wall.

"I'm not here to persuade you. This is what soshyan should do. I'm just entrusted to tell you something."

"Oh? Let me guess."

Talos sneered at the corners of his mouth.

"It's marcarion, isn't it?"

"Do you want to know?"

"It depends on what you want to say."

Sevita stared at him, which made Talos feel a little creepy, but he forced himself not to show any weak expression.

About three minutes later, the crow prince said slowly:

"Do you know what happened to the scarlet king?"

Talos thought for a moment and shook his head.

Sevita left the wall and went to Talos. They were only one punch apart, almost face to face.

"Look at me, look carefully."

Hearing sevita's words, Talos looked at each other's face and unconsciously fell into each other's black hole eyes.

Gradually, taros's forehead exuded sweat, and his face gradually became paler than the dead body.

"This --"

For a while, his body shook violently, and he collapsed on the chair, while sevita slowly moved away from him.

"So, you see."

Talos stared wide, lowered his head and looked at the ground. His eyes were scattered, as if he had just witnessed something terrible.

"Then I'll go."

With that, savita went to the prison door.

"Wait --"

Talos suddenly raised his head and stopped savita, although his voice was still trembling.

"Is this, is this his order?"

Sevita looked back at him, and a mocking smile suddenly appeared on her face.

"Sort of."

Seeing that sevita had walked out of the prison door, Talos suddenly stood up and shouted excitedly:

"Call soshyan to see me, now!"
