Be the savior from Frostpunk

Chapter 188 Destined Death
It was the first time in five days that New London had received a signal of active contact from the steel bridge.

Later survivors were greatly shocked by the armed forces of Alexander's "reign", and even terrified by the enemies they would use this force against.

From the mouths of those who came before them, they heard about the deeds of the mysterious mayor and the monsters he killed.

With the passing of words, these messages gradually began to lose their authenticity, especially after some people occasionally saw the two evil spirits Oyinks and Uda, and they became more and more confused about the world.

Roddy Jackson, New Birmingham's foreign affairs officer and son of the mayor of New Birmingham, was standing in front of the huge transport elevator door in the dome wall, waiting for Alexander's return.

That battle should have ended four days ago, but they didn't know why it took so long before they came back.

The three dreadnoughts slowly fell into the transport elevator, and were sent into the huge factory workshop built within the entire ice wall.

Workers began to repair and maintain, and individual guards were deployed to guard.

Alexander jumped off the battleship, and Chekov gathered all the personnel involved in the battle and stood by in the rest area for the time being.

Speaking of which, the only people who have anything to do with their mayor until the curse of doomed death are Alexander and Huck.

Most people are still confused about the unknown, so they don't have to worry about the crisis they don't know.

Roddy breathed a sigh of relief, waiting for Alexander to come, and prepared to submit the latest application letter from New Birmingham to complete further technology and resource transactions with New London.

Although it seems that it is more like New London's unilateral assistance to New Birmingham.

As a result, he watched the latter waiting under the battleship, a tall giant in power armor jumped from the battleship, and even the ground was shocked.

Roddy's pupils froze, and any human being would feel sincere awe when seeing Astartes for the first time.

He thought of the legend-like stories passed down by his men who had infiltrated various positions in New London. Who is the mayor here?

In fact, Roddy met Richard Knotts during the inauguration ceremony, but at that time the latter disappeared from everyone. Although he was the mayor of New London, he was an industrial city like Birmingham, a winter home, and even the Ark. The construction of energy towers is what people are paying attention to.

In a sense, New London is just a face job, built to take care of the emotions of the people in the old capital, and named New London.

Although in the end only New London seemed to live the most comfortable life after the snowstorm.

"It looks much more comfortable here. It reminds me of the maintenance bay inside the battleship. Ordinary people maintain the operation of this large mechanical structure, and everything is only for production and combat."

Typhus liked the large factory workshop built inside the entire ice wall, which was grand in scale and similar in style to fragments of past memories.

He strolled on the metal floor as if he owned it, ignoring Alexander's guidance.

By the way, he also ignored Rody who had been waiting at the gate.

Typhus stood on the viewing platform at the front of the factory, overlooking the steam city, and finally raised his head to gaze at the glass dome.

The emblems of the empire that can be seen everywhere don't disgust him so much at this moment, it seems that the body of this Chaos Space Marine has temporarily returned to the reason before it fell.

Rody felt that he couldn't wait any longer. He walked up quickly and handed the compiled report to Alexander:

"Mr. Alexander, the first group of engineering apprentices heading to New Birmingham must leave. We don't have much time."

Alexander took the report and said with a smile, "You should ask Huck about this. If the mayor is not here, he is the mayor."

He stared at Roddy, as if he wanted to see what was behind this man.

The curse of the so-called doomed death came from Roddy, and the latter didn't seem to know it.

As for the behavior of placing people to test intelligence, Huck expressed his understanding and Li Jianghao also agreed at the time.

Anyone would choose to do this.

If it weren't for the scruples that the curse of doomed death could not find Li Jianghao's location, the few people in New London who knew about it happened to be the management, otherwise they wouldn't be so restrained.

"Let me introduce first, Typhus, who is said to be a warrior from another world. There are rumors about another world, and the existence of aliens, which should be clear to you, so I won't explain much. New London is in We did get help from outside forces when we got through the blizzard."

Alexander pointed to Typhons, showing a strange look, and continued, "Then tell us, did New Birmingham get any help during the snowstorm?"

Rody froze in place, never expecting that Alexander would actually mention this.

Alexander raised the report in his hand and said with a smile:

"Beforehand, if New Birmingham wants to obtain New London's technology, then we must also confirm this matter. We know the basics. Compared with the things New Birmingham has investigated these days, there are already many things."

Roddy was a little embarrassed, and said calmly: "We are in the decadent area of ​​the blizzard. Thanks to the resistance of New London, when the blizzard arrived, we barely survived."

Typhons lowered his head. He finished looking at the scenery and looked down at this human being:

"Mortals, the Empire has no need of lies."

The latter even took a few steps back frightened by the exchange, with a frightened expression on his face.

Typhons strode over, held Rody in his hand and lifted him up without saying a word.

Before he could open his mouth, Rody collapsed in his hand. In front of Astartes, few mortal minds could hold on.

He wept and shouted, as if in confession:
"A tree, a huge root! We set fire to it, and a strange flame protected us. But as punishment for setting the tree ablaze, each of us got a mark tattooed on the back. Driven us Come to New London and find a way to put out the flames. As long as the host of that flame is dead, that tree will not punish us again!"

On hearing this, Typhus turned the tiny mortal body upside down in his hands, revealing the skin on his back.

An incomplete black vertical stripe streaked across several equally incomplete golden rings, seemingly crushing them.

"The rune of death, a part of Elden's ring was taken. Because of the hiddenness of the doomed death, the son of the god will not die. But after the death of the son who would not die, the god who is the mother goes crazy .”

Fanny, Alexander's niece, Shang's family member, the girl who dreamed of the emperor, has come here at some point.

Typhus felt a little dazzling, obviously everything in front of him was not very bright.

He realized that the light at the soul level came from this human girl, and when he saw it, he couldn't help but kneel down.

His speech became confused, his voice was angry, and there was even a crying voice behind him:

"False Emperor! Damn it, no, don't come here! Don't look at me! Mortarion, father, father, have you seen it? By the Emperor, please forgive me!"

(Typhus is one of the main "culprits" of the Death Guard's fall into Chaos)
