The Emperor’s Angel of Death

Although through the helmet, Kefen XXXI was still a little uncomfortable being stared at by Talos' helmet, so he asked in a low voice:

"My lord... is there anything I can do for you this time?"

"I didn't come here this time for nothing, but when I returned from a mission, I accidentally received some... information. It seems that this world is in trouble."

Hearing the trouble, Kefen XXXI's fat face immediately began to sweat. He asked the beautiful maids in close-fitting dresses to bring oversized wine glasses, and responded in a docile tone:

"Yes... a little trouble, but we can overcome it, we can overcome it."

"Oh, that's it. Along the way, I saw famine and turmoil in many worlds. I went to the hive capital and thought you were short of energy and food. I plan to go back to the battle group and talk to the battle group leader. Let's add relief food and energy, since we can overcome—”

"grown ups!"

Kefen Thirty-one immediately changed into a hoarse voice.

"You are really perceptive. Now there are disasters and chaos everywhere in the entire maelstrom, but the war tax is still being collected one after another. The situation on our Senglad II is even more serious. Now there are mourning and starvation everywhere. Riots also broke out. The mobs not only robbed the honest rich people, but also robbed factories! Even the relief warehouses established by the empire out of kindness were all robbed. After the warehouses were robbed, shouldn’t they rob the Governor’s Mansion? The commander can say a few words about our difficulties, the generations of the hundreds of millions of people in Senglade II, the descendants will definitely remember your great kindness and great virtue, and erect a monument to you!"

As he spoke, he handed a large wine glass to Talos, but the other party refused with gestures.

"Don't worry, I also need your help with something."

"Say it, say it, I will do it!"

"Angstrom is now fighting fiercely. The chapter master asked me to recruit 200 million young and strong residents from the hive capital to do labor. Can you get it together for me within ten days?"

Hearing this, Kefen XXXI's face dripped with sweat. If three months ago, he could have done this immediately, but now...

The population he can control in the entire hive is at most one billion, and it is impossible to gather 200 million young and strong.

"My lord, this..."

"What? Are you having trouble?"

In fact, at this time Kefen Thirty-one has come to realize that he is cruel and greedy but not stupid. After all, he was able to sit in this position by poisoning his father and nine brothers, so he had already guessed that this The intention of the Space Marines is probably not to really catch Ding.

The other party probably knew something, and came to Xingshi to question him. If he didn't want to make a better statement, his guards, power, and courtiers might not be able to protect him.

"Yes, there are some..."

"Didn't you say you could overcome it before, why did you talk back?"

"Your Excellency, you do not know that this planet is not rich, and the products that Hive City can produce are also very limited. Most of the time in the past, it was used to exchange promethium and synthetic food in the Forge World. Hundreds of years ago, the Forge World Angstrom once made a joint agreement with other foundry worlds of the Maelstrom, stipulating that no nest can build more than three promethium refineries, otherwise it will be blocked by the joint technology of all foundry worlds, just to force us to buy They produce high-priced promethium! We have argued many times that the Ministry of the Interior has nothing to do about it! In the past, we could barely support it with trade taxes and other revenues, but... But after the expedition began, the war tax round after round In addition, all promethium was given priority to the army, and the trade routes were also disturbed by the war. The price of purchasing promethium from foreign departments was too expensive to afford. After Angstrom was besieged, our external sources of promethium It was completely interrupted, and the stock of promethium could not last for three months. Without promethium, the food processing plant could not operate. The workers began to strike and make trouble, causing the only remaining promethium refinery to be damaged to varying degrees. .....Seeing that the scale of the riots is increasing, but the relief we applied to the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been delayed. We always say that we are on the road. Even with all my savings, I can’t buy enough food—"

"Screw your mother's ass!

! "

An angry shout interrupted Kefen 31st's cry, and Sablin rushed to the table angrily, causing the nobles to retreat in fright, then he grabbed a fat, tender and juicy steak and threw it on the Kefen On the luxurious robe of Fen XXXI, a large stain was made and the opponent backed away in fright.

"The civilians are already cannibalizing people! What about you! Have you even given a penny to those who are full of food? No! Not only no! You also snatched their last hope! You also killed people who had no food rations! Still trying to quibble, you **** deserve to die!"

As he spoke, he pulled out his bolter, and the crowd screamed.

"what are you doing?"

Talos turned his head, looked at Sablin, and said calmly:

"Didn't I have an order, no action is allowed without an order, are you going to rebel?"

"Company commander—"

"Put the gun away, or be imprisoned for half a year."

Sablin panted twice, but instead of putting down the gun in his hand, he clenched it even tighter.

"I don't understand! Why listen to their nonsense! Sinners should be punished! Isn't this what you taught us, company commander!"

As he spoke, he turned his gun on the crowd around him, and those who were pointed at retreated one after another, like a frightened flock of sheep.

Talos compared, just spit out a few words.

"Can't figure it out?"

Sablin gritted his teeth and replied:

"I can't figure it out!"

At this time, Li Lin also quietly pressed his hand on the handle of the gun. Although he obeyed Talos's order more, if Sablin fired, he would definitely fire, because they are brothers, and they will bear the guilt together

"Lei Ying stopped outside, and immediately went back to think about it until he thought about it."

At this time, Cassati came over, pressed down Sablin's hand holding the gun, then grabbed the other's arm, turned and walked out, and said to the other party in a private message:

"Sabrin, I know you are very angry, but you have to understand that now you represent the Star Knights Chapter... The mission of the Astartes is to protect the survival of mankind and the order of the empire, although most of the time the two goals are the same Yes, but occasionally there will be conflicts...we are not gods, we can't solve everything..."

After Sablin and Cassati left, Talos turned to Kefen XXXI who was hiding behind the pillar. At this time, some guards also ran in after hearing the movement, but they didn't dare to take out their weapons, they just looked around cautiously .

This is not some remote world where no one dares to attack a space marine.

"The soldiers saw some things and were a little impulsive, but at least I am still willing to listen to your explanation."

"grown ups-"

Kefen XXXI walked out with trembling legs, then threw himself on the ground, explaining with snot and tears.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... ...Everyone agrees, those people don't have enough food, they will definitely riot! But the number of guards in the hive capital is not enough to defend all areas, if a large-scale rebellion is set off, then, that thing will be out of control, we You can only do it before things get to that point, to remove...remove hidden dangers."

The imperial bureaucrats who were pointed out by the governor suddenly became very embarrassed, and some even tried to retreat into the crowd.

"What **** logic!"

Li Lin couldn't help scolding.

"If you kill all the people, there will be no rebellion!? That's not the enemy, that's the citizen of the empire, the emperor's people, the people you want to protect! Can't you just take out the little thing in your mouth Are you going to save more people! You are the emperor’s shepherd dogs! You are not allowed to eat sheep! You keep saying that there is no promethium! Then what did you use to burn so many civilians to death! Is it firewood! There is promethium to burn people but there is no promethium Generate electricity, right?"

】

"My lord, how much can we save with the reserves in our hands? There are so many people in the middle nest and the upper nest, so many elites, so many nobles, so many officials, they are the foundation of the empire! If They can't survive, how can they claim that this place belongs to the empire in the future?"

Li Lin was taken aback for a moment~www.readwn.com~ was a little speechless, but immediately retorted:

"You are lying, the empire... The empire is composed of countless civilians."

But when it came to the end, he didn't have much confidence.

Instead, it was Kefen Thirty-one who stepped forward, pointing his arm at those gathered.

"My lord, take a look, here are scholars who are familiar with the history of the empire for thousands of years, experts who are proficient in space knowledge, astropaths who communicate with planets, and technical priests who serve Omnissia. Taxation officials, judges who enforce the sacred laws of the empire, and bishops who guide the souls of the people, if two people really want to die at the same time, some dregs of the nest, this world still belongs to the emperor and the empire, but if they both die Otherwise, this place will become a den of heresy!"

Looking at the Hive City ruler, Talos suddenly chuckled, then saluted the Skyhawk, turned around and walked towards the gate, ignoring the call behind him.

"Alas, my lord—"
