Chapter 86 Son of the Forest (5)

That was an insignificant moment

A moment that even Morgan himself had long forgotten.

However, Zhuang Sen remembered it clearly.

——————

[The most efficient method and the best method are not synonymous. My Lord, reason and sensibility are a pair of conjoined twins full of contradictions. 】

[To put it lightly, if the fastest way to destroy Ran Dan is to disintegrate the First Legion, what choice will you make? 】

——————

Jonson remembers that day.

That was a very ordinary day.

Between the second and third years when Morgan officially became his psychic advisor, that is, around the fifth Terran standard year when Randan's army provoked this war, the Imperial fleet had just arrived in Vola

The Ston galaxy achieved an extremely difficult victory and obtained a dirty medal purely made of flesh and blood and consumption.

Zhuang Sen listened to the laughter, and once again, he frowned.

silence.

Even the Astartes warriors are not true, pure, out-and-out war machines, ruthless butchers, especially in this soaring era, in this era when every legion sings triumphant songs and is beaming with joy.

He growled in a low voice with dissatisfaction, like a hungry lion looking at its fleeing prey.

[You have chosen a method that is beneficial to everyone, but you have to bear the price. This price may be heavier than you think, Your Excellency.]

【Then the word loyalty is meaningless.】

His eyebrows were beating unconsciously.

[You are so self-disciplined that you regard weakness as betrayal.]

【You are always keen on illusions, without any value or novelty.】

[I don’t doubt your loyalty and ability, Your Excellency. I don’t think there is anyone in the entire empire who can compete with you in these two aspects at the same time. At least there is no one I know.]

【If you are not the most loyal.】

【I made it very clear, Your Excellency.】

——————

When the ruins of Wollaston were completely left behind, the whispers and vicious remarks on the "Indomitable Truth" had already become rampant, and even flowed into the genetic code with a deliberately provocative attitude.

body ears.

His breathing sounded shaky.

His eyes never seemed to fall on his son.

【You, please make it clear.】

This scene was so real that Zhuang Sen could even see the sweat dripping down his son's neck, the wet thick eyebrows squeezed by his pupils, and his lips that were wide open due to nervousness and fear, spitting out

Symbolizing angry saliva and heat.

Morgan just smiled, smiling insincerely.

【And you are the same now, aren't you? 】

This was the first training session after the Battle of Wollaston, and it was supposed to be an unremarkable training session.

[In the final analysis, illusion is just a false, non-existent garden maze. As long as you can identify a direction and remain firm, you can easily break through even the most real illusion. 】

Nemir also does not meet the requirements. Although this former knight of Caliban is upright and trustworthy, his suggestions will only be the most standard Knights' Charter and Imperial Decree.

[Just like the illusions just now, at the same time, I did have a better way, such as a psychic lightning, but I habitually chose illusions as a method because its cost-effectiveness is

The best, the consumption is also the smallest, and in my previous actual combat, it is also the most effective way.】

Morgan waited for a while.

[When you make this choice, no matter how much loyalty weighs in this galaxy, you are as important as loyalty.]

Heavy, indifferent, and indifferent, yet people can feel the burning and blazing like a flame.

This sudden turn was like falling from a steep mountain, causing Zhuang Sen's indifferent eyebrows to rise in an instant.

[Your loyalty is unquestionable, and for this loyalty, you chose the most effective method to deal with this war. 】

【I think I have already answered.】

[You chose the most effective method and strode forward towards victory, but you forgot that you are a giant, a great giant, and every step you take requires others to try their best to catch up. 】

【exhausted?】

He could feel and hear that on the other side of the endless thick fog, the silver-haired lady was sighing, an extremely long and genuine sigh, in a voice she was accustomed to ridiculing and mocking.

From that moment on, almost no one remembered Wollaston's name anymore. This tragic battlefield with tens of thousands of corpses and wreckage of battleships became the most ordinary of the unknown achievements of the First Army.

one of.

It wasn't until a long time later that she finally heard Zhuang Sen's laughter.

Zhuang Sen did not answer. The corners of his mouth turned downward, making an unhappy arc. His long blond hair and beard were mixed and tangled together. Under the too broad forehead, there were thick eyebrows.

Covered, emotionless sight.

For any Legion of Astartes, this is a great victory that can be engraved into any monument on the Glory Queen, and it is a moment that can be remembered with a grand military parade and a series of hymns.

【Is my answer important, Your Excellency?】

This is a rare thing. In the past training, the Primarch of the First Legion would often not speak a word from the beginning to the end.

It was as if he never cared about death and loss, and never thought that anyone besides himself could carry it all.

There are always Terrans complaining like this.

Countless honorable companies never came back after a tragic battle. Countless monasteries with outstanding merits cut off their inheritance after a bloody battle. Countless battleships were destroyed, and countless positions were left vacant.

Until those Calibans learned the skills of fighting, sat on the position stained red by the blood of their predecessors, and stretched out their hands to embrace the tradition and honor of the legion.

He has memorized this sentence.

From a long distance away, the Primarch answered with a chuckle without any emotion.

【You are unique.】

【Not a single one of my honors has been lost.】

How heartless.

The deathly silence lasted for several seconds.

[The most efficient method and the best method are not synonymous. My Lord, reason and sensibility are a pair of conjoined twins full of contradictions. 】

Luther couldn't do it. He was too far away from the war, so far away that he could no longer control the flow of blood.

The Primarch raised his eyes and looked at the mortal who was chanting the magic circle a hundred meters away.

The Primarch frowned, turned his wrist, and swung the sword in his palm with a hurricane, tearing the false heir in front of him into pieces in the blink of an eye.

Then, there was a hurricane.

Until the Primarch, who would never be tired, walked out of a bloody Shura field, then raised his head, looked around Xingyu with ruthless eyes, and then threw himself and his legion into another endless battle.

In the midst of a fierce battle.

——————

[In this, and in many respects, we are very similar.]

【So, compared to the best one, I chose the most effective one.】

But the First Legion was the only exception: no celebrations, no medals, not even murmurs of admiration circulated between mortals and other legions. The main force of the Dark Angels left without hesitation the moment the battle ended.

All he took away from here was the exhaustion all over his body, the blood of his comrades, and more orders from Zhuang Sen.

【None of my comrades fell down.】

[This is really great, very great. Such beliefs cannot be summarized with pale wisdom and courage, because they are not worth mentioning. 】

【You have overlooked one point, Your Excellency.】

[To put it lightly, if the fastest way to destroy Ran Dan is to disintegrate the First Legion, what choice will you make? 】

[After all, I have been fighting with you for a while, and I know your habits: changeable tactics, but down-to-earth style. You like to use everything you can, and you are also keen on the most effective means. If you can use

A small gain can lead to a big gain, or a final decision, that would be the best.】

He closed his eyes and tried his best to hear a hint of falsehood and flattery.

[But as long as my enemy pauses for a moment under this illusion: Whether it is the hesitation of a familiar person, the consternation of a terrifying thing, or the natural distraction of human energy when facing an accident,

It will become a firm step towards victory for me.】

【But the most effective may not be the best, Your Excellency.】

——————

【You shed sweat, but they will shed blood.】
