1072, Void Legacy (4)
โโTR80.1.1โโ
Keha IV, Doge's Square.
The sun had set in Keha, and all sorts of lights were coming on the towering, knife-like buildings and on both sides of the commuter road, along with the virtual fireworks that burst into the night sky.
Since the Tyranid Federation has only been established for 80 years, and the living environment of each sector is very different, and most of them have not had time to form their own customs, the New Year is still celebrated on the first day of January every year in the Terra calendar, and the celebration method is largely the same as that of the recorded Earth.
At the same time, tens of thousands of residents of Kekha were spontaneously gathering in the square to listen to Governor Angus Monsk's New Year's speech, a huge number that kept the police and security personnel busy.
"There is no anomaly in the Keha Star Gate."
"There is no anomaly in the Keha IV acceleration device."
"There is no abnormality at the airports everywhere."
"There was a disturbance near King's Road and he was temporarily taken into custody."
Dressed in a crisp gown, Arcturus pressed his headset to check the reports from different locations, until Angus coughed impatiently twice, and then hesitantly waved for the bodyguards to let him go.
Angus was dressed today in a black coat with a gold ear of epaulettes, a heroic governor's uniform with yellow and silver buttons on a black background, a ribbon and rows of medals on his chest, and his hair and beard were very neatly groomed, which made the governor look quite imposing.
"What a fuss," he snorted as he rubbed shoulders with his son, "can the Federation still send someone to assassinate me without a prophet?" โ
"I'm confident that the secrecy you've arranged is flawless, but fortresses are always breached from within, can you guarantee that all those involved are loyal and reliable?" Arcturus retorted in a whisper, then slipped away as fast as his father could glare back.
"Brother, what's the name of that mercenary team of yours?" Arcturus had planned to go to the roof of the Doge's Mansion to continue monitoring, but was stopped by Amir in the hallway.
Due to the need to attend the ceremony and participate in outdoor activities, Emile did not wear the relatively homely light clothes today, she was wearing a dark blue sweater and pleated skirt, black plush socks and small brown leather boots, a large dark purple cape, a red plaid scarf around her neck, and a pair of red-framed glasses on the bridge of her delicate nose, looking like a well-behaved literary girl.
"Uh, Amir, you look so pretty, but I'm okay with it right now." Arcturus tried to change the subject and slip away.
"I saw that the ship they were on had a sign on it: 'Wยท P', but I haven't figured out which two words it is," Amir grabbed the hem of his gown, "Is it 'WaitPlease'." โ
Why does it sound like a legion of lobbyists?
"It's WarPig." Arcturus reluctantly replied that there was a particularly large and dangerous wild boar in the star field where the mercenaries were on a mission, and the name was given to show his bravery, but after returning to Keha, this word could only make people think of the kind of white and fat domestic animals, so he didn't want to spread it.
"Oh......" Emir gave a slight expression of shock before letting go of his hand, "Then you go." โ
Her tone sounded like she was saying, "You go play with the pigs," and Arcturs smiled wryly as she ran briskly to the elevator.
โโโโ
"[Dear Tyranid citizens, unconsciously, it is the 80th year of our pioneering in the New World, here, I would like to wish all of you who have made outstanding contributions to the Tyranid Federation and Keha in all walks of life, Happy New Year~]"
By the time Arcturus arrived on the top floor of the Doge's Palace, Angus had already begun his speech in front of the square, and at the beginning of his speech, of course, was a look back at the past and a look forward to the future.
According to the speech that Arcturus has read, the proposal for Keha's secession from the Tyranid Federation will be announced near the end of the speech, and since the proposal has been submitted and passed by the Kehar Parliament before, the next thing to do is a referendum, so before the father announces the news, or has already announced, but has not yet finished the speech, it is the best time for the Tyranid Federation to assassinate him, and again, it is generally possible to control or kill the father before the end of the referendum, and once the referendum is over and the secession is smooth, Then the Federation would have to use force to conquer Keha, and the father himself would become less important.
So, either the Federation wasn't aware of it, or the Assassins they had sent were already lurking nearby, and Actulus raised his telescope to look at the rooftops of the tall buildings around him, as well as any suitable locations for sniping.
"[Humans, clones, there is no difference between us. ใโ
"But we are fighting each other because of our history and origins, and in the escalating struggle, the entire star sector has become torn apart. ใโ
Started, the Assassins could do it at any moment...... If any.
Arcturus continued to observe as he listened to reports from mercenary sentries from all over the country.
No anomaly, no anomaly, all anomaly, if not really anomalous, then they are fully prepared.
"Now, we should put aside the meaningless hatred and strife and unite closely, and in you I see the future because of our shared hopes, goodness, and dreams. ใโ
At this time, since the governor of Angus had made it clear that he supported the clones to get their rightful rights, bursts of cheers began to appear in the square.
Just like his father said, compared to the tense atmosphere of humans and clones in other galaxies and star fields, Keha's side is more about supporting each other and supporting each other, as long as he proposes that Keha break away from the original Tyranid Federation that has just made a fuss about killing and oppressing his clones, there is basically no one who will oppose it.
"From today onwards, the humans and clones of the Keha system will no longer be at odds with each other, and no force will be able to shake our hopes. ใโ
Wait, what's that?
Actulus, who was looking around at random, abruptly returned the telescope to the spot he had just passed.
The telescope reflected a narrow rooftop on the roof of a tall building, and a slender and tall, half-crouching female figure appeared in the place that had been empty before.
She was wearing a tight-fitting silver-white armor of unknown material, and her whole person appeared there as if she had just been drawn out of the void, and although it was too far away to see the woman's face, it was confirmed that she had long bright orange hair.
Hell, having such an obvious appearance and not hiding it means ......
"[I, Angus Monsk, in my capacity as Governor of the planet, hereby announce that the Keha system will be separated from the Tyranid Federation. ใโ
At the same time, the last "pen" that had made the female Assassin appear out of thin air had been drawn, and the last thing that appeared was a slender and narrow rifle of the same color as her armor, which, as expected, was aimed at the square podium.
"An anomaly was found in the AX07 area!" There was a warning from the headset that the security guard was one step late.
Boom! At this moment, a new ceremonial flower bloomed over the Governor's Palace.
At the same time, there was also the line of fire from the muzzle of the gun.
