Chapter 2 Tassadar's Decision

"Star Spirit... Help me... Tower.. Sa. Reach.. You.. Char... Insects... ”

Tassadar woke up from his meditation, and he once again sensed this unusual psychic energy fluctuation, it was so strange and real that Kara's protection was unaware of it. He tried to make contact with the other party who was emitting the waves, but the other party just repeated the message, and he felt a pang of powerlessness.

The Astral Fleet had been wandering around the Koplu Sector since its escape from Tasannis, and when the news of the defeat reached El, the entire Astral Society couldn't believe that the Templar leader, who had a bright future, wisdom and strength, could be defeated. The magistrates of the Supreme Council clearly cannot accept this fact. In their opinion, it is precisely because of Tassadar's repeated disobedience that the situation has evolved to the point where it is today, even if it is finally driven out of the capital planet of mankind, there is still hope of turning the tables - the powerful force of the Gancui Lock is fully capable of destroying the entire planet, so that all humans and insects who dare to challenge the majesty of the eldest son of God will be wiped out.

However, Tassadar did not do this, or rather, he was tired of this kind of sweeping operation, and he was determined to find the source of the insects and destroy them, otherwise, no matter how many planets he destroyed, it would be useless.

"Tassadar, you have paid a terrible price for your arrogance and recklessness, you have disgraced the name of the firstborn son of the gods, and you have disgraced the Templar class, and the Supreme Council has been disappointed in you. We originally had high hopes for you, you are the representative of the new era of the Star Spirit, but look at what you have done? Aldares, who is now 780 years old, looked at the Templar in front of him through the communication device, "In light of your mistakes and post-battle disposition, the Supreme Council has made it clear that you must lead the rest of the fleet back to the El, and your position as Supreme Commander of the Expeditionary Force and Chief Templar has been relieved!" He looked at the calm Tassadar with an annoyed expression on his face, "The order is carried out immediately."

"I refuse"

"Well, it looks like you've been... Wait, what do you say? Do you refuse? Do you know what you're doing? You're killing yourself! Don't be obsessed, Tassadar ... ”

"The insects are far more harmful than you expected, and we must be on high alert?"

"We've been on high alert, and we've sent the most powerful Templars to carry it out ourselves, but you, you, are the ones who caused the consequences!" Aldares was completely on fire, his mind was full of anger, and even though he was a few galaxies away, he could still feel the fluctuations from the depths of Kara.

"I don't deny that there is a problem with my decision-making, but this is not the main reason, we don't have enough means to deal with it" Tasadar did not evade responsibility, "We don't have a clear understanding of the insects, in our hearts, they are not even as threatening as the Tagallons" His tone became more and more heavy, "But in fact, every time they occupy a planet, they will frantically devour everything on the planet to meet their own evolution, so that they can quickly adapt to the planet's environment, they reproduce quickly, and they are disciplined, I can feel that something is behind them ... ”

"Enough, I don't want to listen to your strong explanations, I now order you, you must return to Al, otherwise, you will have to deal with the consequences"

The picture went dark, but the surroundings were silent.

"Executive, what should we do?" Marsal stood aside, looking at their leader along with all the Templars present. To be honest, they were at a loss from the tense conversation just now, and the magistrates of the Supreme Council were actually trying their leader? The Templar Expeditionary Force was born and died for the Star Spirit Empire, which was not the treatment they deserved, and besides, there were various complicated factors in this defeat, and the Templars had no objection to Tassadar's orders. Tassadar, who has always adhered to the credo of "helping the weak", has always been an idol and leader among the Templars, and they cannot imagine the consequences of losing him, and perhaps the Templars will fall.

"Don't be pessimistic, my lieutenant, as a good Templar, always be confident and have a strong belief that Kara will protect us." He looked around, "Although we have experienced a defeat, we have not gained nothing", "The insects are more powerful than we expected, they are also Sarnagar's creations, they are obviously not weaker than us, and their strange way of evolution also leaves us without a way to deal with it for the time being, but the Templars are fearless".

β€œEn Taro Adun!” A strong spiritual cry erupted around them, and the hearts of all the star spirits present were connected to each other

"I am no longer your Executive, but my heart is still with you, and I will not give up on my mission, I will continue to lead the Gian Trisol and my Guard, and continue to track down the nest of the insects, and you" He turned to the Adjutant, "Marsar, you lead the rest of the fleet and the Gantric Lock back to El"

"But, Executive... Marsal's face changed suddenly

"No, but, immediately carry out the order, we have to keep our hopes, I always have a hunch that the insect will become our henchman in the future, and you, you must tell our people all this" He thought of his disciple, "Help me tell Artanis, his teacher is proud of him" In his thoughts, the person who came to take over his position must be veteran executives like Phoenix and Marsal, after all, Artanis is only more than two hundred years old, this is in the long life of the star spirit, he has just come of age, he doesn't want to be because of his own reasons, and affect the future of the disciples.

"Also, I'm not the CEO anymore, now everyone is in the same position"

"Artanis will understand you, Executive" Marcel's respect in his heart has not diminished, but has increased, I will obey your orders, and please take care of your own safety, the Templars will always have your back.

Half a day later, the Star Spirit Expeditionary Force fleet began to return home, and they were about to return to their homeland, their homeland of El. But all the Templars were depressed, and their leader would be left alone.

Tassadar's move to break away from the forces and go it alone caused an uproar, and the High Council did not expect the previously deferential Templar to be so bold at this time. When they decided to take action against Tassadar, they were opposed by all the Templars, including Marsal and Phoenix.

"It seems that the threat to Tassadar is far greater than we thought, the Templars can no longer be trusted, and we must act," the archbishop said worriedly

"Let the next CEO, the Templar, take matters into account for himself," said another councillor

"Oh? Who is the candidate? ”

"Atanis"

"What, I don't agree, he's a student of that person, how could it be..."

"Nothing is impossible, don't forget, he is now nominally one of us, the leader of the Achilla tribe, his father asked him to worship Tassadar as a teacher, he was also forced by the situation, he dreamed of taking back this scepter, and as his son, he must have a choice" Aldaris continued, "besides, I will personally lead the guard to supervise him, and the Templars must be supervised by the Council"

"Okay"

And just like that, everything was decided. Will things really be the way they think?
