God Emperor's Angel of Death

Chapter 355

For Luko's complaint, the voice was only a burst of disdainful cold laughter.

"Don't be hypocritical. Talk like a traitor. What are you still struggling with?"

"He will eventually tell us in some way."

This is Pallas's voice.

"Brother Palas, you know I'm not a traitor! I never intended to betray the Empire!"

Voices continued to surround Luko, one after another, piercing his heart through accusations.

After each ridicule, he became more and more angry. If they wanted to kill him just because of their imaginary betrayal, he would not easily give in and let them do what they wanted.

"I have done nothing wrong! I am a glorious astat!"

"You are nothing!"

Strange voices mocked him.

"You are just a sinner who dares to betray the light of the emperor. The cruel fate is waiting for you."

"I never attacked my compatriots! Or are you too stupid to see?"

One hand reached out of the darkness and grabbed Luko's throat.

Although he could not see it, the heavy and painful gasp reminded him that the hard hit trachea was likely to break this time.

"If you talk nonsense again, I'll kill you!"

The stranger also got angry.

"Put him down, azdan."

The third voice sounded, but more gentle than the first two.

"I'll handle it."

The big hand on his neck loosened, and Luko fell heavily on the cold metal floor and groaned in pain.

"The trial is over. Can you talk to me about your past? Just talk."

A calm but empty voice sounded in his ear. Luko slowly straightened up and tried to stand proudly in front of the interrogators and show his fearless determination in front of their inquiry.

He began to recount his past.

When he joined the soul drinker battle group and became an astatic order, he faced various tests, many of which were related to life and death.

Now, he has the same determination to face the unknown.

He told them about the secret meetings between veterans and his role in them.

Luko mentioned the Holy Lord and his "herd", and the lie that they were told that the operation was authorized by the war commander. Even until gorgorgory appeared, they did not know that they had been judged.

He even poured out his inner secrets.

Although in order to motivate his men to pretend to be belligerent, Luko himself doesn't like war. He loves peace more. He has no interest in fighting and killing. Becoming a Star Warrior is only out of duty.

Then they asked Luko again and again, but he answered the same every time.

Once again, he explained why he didn't continue to follow salpurdon - he was disgusted by fratricidal brothers and the power of think tanks to embrace chaos. He didn't want to go with it, even in the face of death.

But he doesn't want to die in disgrace.

As he narrated, Luko felt that the hostility in the dark was fading.

Suddenly, the light began to light up, this time from an external light source - the sphere inlaid on the wall of the room began to shine.

When the light came on, Luko covered his eyes and could only see the interrogator standing nearby.

"You have courage, commander Luko."

Pallas looked at him with a smile. His previous ferocity had disappeared without a trace.

"If what you say is true, your crime can be alleviated a lot."

A priest in black armor was staring at him, but still with a tone of examination. At the edge of the hall, there was a man standing against the wall. Luko was impressed by his iconic halberd.

"What I said is true."

Luko said as sincerely as possible, enduring the sharp pain from all over his body.

"Are you sure?"

"I never lied."

"But there will always be the first time."

"The Luko brothers didn't lie."

A voice came from behind the priest. The interrogator of black armor turned and saw a great and noble figure standing at the door.

His armor is more gorgeous than others, shining with jumping light, and he holds a spear with strange light in his hand.

Luko immediately recognized him, the battle leader of the star knights, soshyan Alexei.

He also recognized the spear in his hand - the holy thing of the soul drinker, the soul spear.

Soshyan looked at him and walked step by step in front of Luko.

"Commander Luko, under the witness of the soul spear, after trial, I am willing to believe that your soul is still noble and pure."

Luko was secretly relieved to hear this, but soshyan's next sentence raised his heart again.

"But the crime of treason is irrefutable. I won't take back my previous words."

"I --"

"Don't rush to explain. Listen to me, brother Luko."

Soshyan stared into his eyes.

"Next, you will hear a great secret. This secret is about yourself, all soul drinkers and star knights, and even the whole empire. Instructor sol chose you, and I have observed you. I hope you can understand the great responsibility contained in this secret."

Hearing these serious words, Luko subconsciously stepped back. He was vaguely aware that the secret in soshyang's mouth might be earth shaking once it was told.

"Do I... Have a choice?"

"Sorry, No."

Then, soshyan slowly revealed the secret of the 11th Corps.

Luko listened, first shock, then fear, then confusion.

By the end of soshyan, he had been numbed by one terrible truth after another.

The company commander of the former soul drinker stayed where he was, like a sculpture. He didn't know what to say or what to think.

Soshyan looked at him, slowly raised his soul spear and sank to:

"Luko JIMILI."

Hearing his name, Luko's spirit picked up slightly. He looked at the soul spear in front of him and nodded slightly.

"Are you willing to shoulder this important task again, wholeheartedly loyal to the emperor and mankind, wash away the shame of the past with blood, rebuild the eleventh legion with us, and save the Empire and mankind from the dark abyss!"

Luko shook his body twice. After hesitating for about three seconds, he slowly bent his knees and knelt down and bowed his head.

"Luko JIMILI, die for the emperor."

"Commander Zhan, he hasn't completely stood the test yet..."

Pastor yazdan seemed to have some opinions, but soshyan firmly replied:

"Pastor, there is no suspicion and doubt in the battle group. We must unite, otherwise we will be lost in the way ahead... The tragedy of the soul drinker cannot be repeated."

It is thanks to sol's admonition that he, who hated traitors very much, can change now.

He and soshyan spent three days discussing the topic of "position", in the hope that soshyan could understand that not everyone's will is firm, nor is everyone's position as firm as a rock.

Accepting these soldiers who had defected was the first step for soshyan to become the head of the army.

Tolerance and flexibility are also a lesson he must learn.

That's why there is a huge difference in his attitude towards Luko.

"As you wish, commander Zhan."

Yazdan nodded and stepped back behind him.

Soshyan put down his soul spear and stretched out his hand to Luko, with a gentle smile on his face.

"Welcome home, brother Luko."

Luko looked at him and slowly stretched out his hand, but soshyan grabbed his palm first and lifted him from the ground.

"Thank you for your trust, soshyang war... Commander of the army."

Hearing the last three words, soshyang's shoulder stiffened for a moment. He suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulder became extremely heavy.

Can you really lead an army?

Soshyan asked himself in his heart.
