The ancestor of Duke Marven once served as a court attendant. It was a very old profession, at least tens of thousands of years ago. From then on, all affairs within the imperial court were taken over by the Praetorian Guard. The Praetorian Army was even organized into a separate legion after that, and all the court attendants were subjected to strict scrutiny from the Holy See one by one, making sure that no one could take any information about the Emperor with them.

It is precisely because of this that Duke Marven knows slightly more about the emperor than other people who know the inside story. These secrets have been passed down orally since the time of the ancestors' chamberlain. In Marven's generation, there have been many people who have gone through it.

The emperor came from a mysterious place. To be precise, it should have originated from a mysterious group. It is a special group of people who have the ability to reincarnate and can continue the memories of the last time they died. The exact time and place have long since become impossible to verify, and there is no evidence that these people actually appeared in history. Duke Marven's ancestors also didn't know much about this. According to the family secrets that have been handed down, it is believed that some kind of accident happened among those people, and they lost the ability to be reincarnated. This makes them panic and try their best to find ways to solve the problem. Eventually, there was no sign of rebirth among the dead in this group. Fears quickly turned into a full-blown uproar. They found that the soul of the deceased was completely gone, and it would never be re-injected into a new body as before.

These people held repeated meetings to discuss countermeasures, which were attended by about several thousand people. Repeated arguments and arguments continued for a long time, but there was no effective way to stop them. This chaotic situation continued for many years, and more and more people died. In the end, all the survivors found that they could only have two or three generations of descendants left at most until all the souls of all those who originally had the ability to reincarnate were completely eaten away by that mysterious force. Although this is a special ability derived from the bloodline, as the number of reincarnated people becomes fewer and fewer, it means that the final result of this group is to disappear completely.

Realizing the danger of not being able to change their fate, the rest of the group unanimously decided to commit mass suicide with a special secret method. Only in this way can the souls of all people merge into one, and then produce a mysterious power against the soul-devouring one. However, the secret method did not have the desired effect, and the remaining souls were indeed gathered, but by chance, they were attached to a newborn baby, and from this, the emperor was born.

Family secrets that have been handed down do not mention any information about the location of the emperor's birthplace. Even the ancestors of Duke Marven, who served as court chamberlains, only knew that the emperor grew up in an isolated and barren area as a child. It is said that the emperor possessed the power to stop himself from aging, as well as many other spiritual powers. When he came of age and ascended to the throne, the Emperor realized that he had more direct control over the future of humanity. He marched into other spatial realms where primitive civilizations had developed, conquered, and demonstrated his might to the local barbarians, summoning them to his command. In the years that followed, the Emperor amassed a great deal of wisdom and promoted important human inventions in many related fields. The Holy See honors him as the greatest creator of all time, and no archbishop or archbishop has the same knowledge and understanding as he does. Especially in some legends of legionnaires who were absolutely loyal to the emperor, the emperor's existence zài could even deal with any evil force from the realm of space.

For these statements full of infinite praise, Duke Marven has always judged with an extremely cool head. He was only an ostensible admirer of the emperor. The title of Duke comes from an ancestor who goes back hundreds of generations of the family. He was also a legionnaire at the time, and even received the prestigious position of major of the legion. Because of his outstanding performance in battle, he was awarded the title of Duke with incomparably dazzling achievements. That ancestor died in a strange space in the end, but the Duke's lineage continues to this day. Perhaps, it is precisely because of this lack of influence from the supervision of his father that the Duke Marven's family's belief in the emperor has gradually weakened. As for now, he has completely lost his ability to worship faith, has become suspicious, and is full of suspicion of the empire and the emperor himself.

Raising his head and looking at the large oil painting of the emperor hanging on the wall, Marven muttered to himself.

"No one is omniscient and omnipotent, especially the Emperor."

He himself was a high-ranking nobleman, and knew the effect of a privileged life on his mind and habits. The so-called ideals and courage often fade away in a peaceful and stable life.

This seems to be an iron law of fate that no one can escape. Duke Marvin himself is like that. Thinking of this, a wry smile appeared on the duke's wrinkled face.

He still remembers how high-spirited he was when he was young, and even thought about giving up the title of nobility that became a bondage in order to pursue his dreams. At that time, Marven was definitely a young man with ideals and drive. He wanted to be a soldier of the Imperial Legion, wearing power armor, wielding a chainsaw sword, and carrying a shotgun, roaming every conquered space realm, carving his name on the nameplate at the Emperor's feet that recorded the Empire's greatest warriors.

People will always stumble in the years, become silent, become lazy, and become as unsurprising as ordinary. This change is especially noticeable in Marvin. When he killed his own brother, Marven didn't think it was a crime. There is always a war between the second and first in line. Even if I don't do it myself, others will stand up and stab me. What's more, at that time, Marven already felt the imminent danger. The brother who loved him when he was a child is gone, and in the same body, there is an evil soul who will do whatever it takes for the sake of power and interests. He started step by step, first against the people around him, and then by pointing the finger at himself. If he had continued to remain silent and turn a blind eye at that time, Marvin would not have survived to this day.

Marven believes that the biggest difference between the emperor and ordinary people is that he knows how to use reality, bind his character, and use reality to force himself to change, so as to stick to those best qualities.

It is mentioned in the history books of the empire that the emperor personally led genetically strengthened warriors to reunite the entire empire during the turmoil and war. Due to the lack of resources, a large number of industrial and agricultural infrastructure in the Canada region were destroyed in the war, and the emperor began to look at other space domains. With the full assistance of the Holy See, the Emperor created the first main army and the Space Search Force, leading his newborn and powerful army into the space realm. In the end, he reaped huge war dividends, and huge amounts of material resources from various conquered space realms continued to pour into the empire, which also gave the emperor himself overwhelming absolute support.

Marven's mind became lively and jumpy. He loves books, he likes to feel happy from the process of reading words, and then enjoy the joy. The aristocracy was much more educated than ordinary people, and naturally knew more about and understood the alternative laws of power than ordinary people.

"Strength doesn't mean uniqueness."

The Duke was the only one in the room, and Marven liked this kind of self-talk when no outsiders were present. He even felt that this was his inner monologue, and that he had unbridled his special opinion on something.

"The power of any power is accompanied by countless potential plotters who want to dismember it. Maybe they didn't have that idea at first, but as they moved up, their thinking and identity became corresponding. A warrior wants to be a general, a general wants to be a commander-in-chief, a commander-in-chief wants to replace the king, and the king wants to be the emperor...... Hehe! It's a cycle that goes back and forth. What about me? Are there a bunch of vultures hovering around me who want to dismember me and distribute my wealth, power, and all sorts of benefits? ”

Duke Marven's monologue was not a whim. This thought had been in his mind for a long time. The origin, which is also what happened to the emperor.

That great and divine man, based on his own bloodline, created some extremely precious genetic prototypes. It is a method of generating memory embryos in the bodies of biological slaves based on their own flesh and blood, and then through guò genetic modification technology. The emperor's original intention was to create a group of warriors who were absolutely loyal to him through guò, a gene extracted from his body. Its status and significance are equivalent to that of the emperor's son. It is a process that does not require the involvement of foreign characters, and it is not possible to intersect with the female body, so as to develop and produce in the womb in a traditional way. The reason is simple: parental mating only dilutes the genetic traits of one parent, resulting in a cross-helix combination. The emperor himself is extremely good, his genes are unmatched, and he cannot find any woman who can compare with him. He needs his genetic protoplasm to continue in the best possible way, not to be disturbed by foreign impurities. Only in this way can you ensure that each genoplasm can generate the most powerful warriors.

There are always things that are doomed in the dark and cannot be achieved according to the desired goals. In order to ensure that these genetic primitives were nourished by the purest bloodline, the Emperor brought all the genetic prototypes with him, even when he entered the space realm to fight. He was ambushed by dark creatures inside the space, and in the explosion, the biological culture chamber containing the genetic prototype was accidentally damaged, and the emperor himself fell into a coma at the time, and when reinforcements arrived and were rescued, he found that all the genetic prototypes were missing. There is no conclusive evidence as to who actually orchestrated this incident? But obviously, the adversary's goal must be to capture, or even contaminate, these genetic protogens that will continue the future of the human empire. They were lost without a trace.

Relying on the mysterious connection perception with the gene primitives, the emperor finally retrieved all the gene primitives scattered in various spatial domains one by one. He watched these genetic prototypes grow and pampered them as if they were sons. However, the most worrying thing happened, and some of the genetic protos were contaminated. They were appointed by the Emperor as leaders of the newly formed Legion, and the infected eventually betrayed the Emperor, leading half of the Legionnaires to Corruption and rebelling against the Emperor. It was a terrible civil war and the greatest catastrophe in the history of the human empire. The traitors tore to shreds the empire they had worked with the Emperor to pieces, causing billions of casualties.

This is indeed a magnificent epic. However, the plot is also as bloody as the internal struggle of Duke Marven's family. The difference is that the emperor's status is much more noble than that of the duke, and those Genoplasma Legion Commanders who want to kill him also have more powerful force than Marven.

The final scene of this tragedy of betrayal was staged in the imperial city of the inner region of the empire. The Emperor leads a group of Forbidden Warriors who can move at high speeds and engage in melee battles with the most powerful rebel genotypes. While the Emperor has unfathomable abilities, the Tainted Legion Leader has acquired the same abilities from the Spatial Realm. The punishment turned into a confrontation, and although the emperor finally won and ended the life of his beloved son, he himself was seriously wounded and almost died on the spot. In this case, an uninfected Genogen Legion Commander brought back the dying Emperor and sent him to the Golden Throne. From then on, the emperor, who was getting worse and worse, could only convey his message through the mysterious life-support device guò. The machine had been trying to treat him, but the results were not ideal. By the later period, the emperor's vitality was already extremely weak, and he could barely maintain the golden throne completely, and he could not even speak.

The Emperor, an Emperor in a deep sleep, this is the current state of the Human Empire. His injuries were so severe that he had to dormant almost all of his body's skills, and in a completely stationary state, he injected large doses of biotic to obtain a steady stream of cellular energy from the outside world to prolong his life. Duke Marven even had reason to wonder if the emperor had long expected such a day? Otherwise, why would there be such a thing as the Golden Throne? If at the end of the anti-rebellion war, there was no such a powerful and efficient treatment instrument, the emperor would naturally no longer exist.

But no matter what, the emperor is still the emperor after all. Although he has been sleeping, his majesty and influence are still unmatched. As long as there is a forbidden army, there are those loyal main army of the empire, and there is the Holy See, his position will always be firm, and no one can pry it.

When thinking about a certain problem, the direction of thinking deviates from the original track and shifts to other irrelevant aspects because of some unconcerned details. This is the situation of Duke Marven at the moment. He was originally thinking about the relationship between Su Hao and the "Iron Warrior", but he unconsciously thought of the emperor and the former rebel war. Although his mind wandered for a long time, the Duke gradually returned to his original train of thought.

How did Su Hao get involved with the "Iron Warriors" legion? It's important to understand this.

You know, ordinary people often don't think of converting imperial contribution points into military merit. Think about it, ordinary people work diligently all their lives, and when they retire, they can only get five points of contribution. The preciousness of this thing is self-evident, and driven by the desire for pleasure, almost everyone will choose wealth rather than fighting for more honor as a soldier.

Su Hao is obviously not an ordinary person. However, judging by his past biographical information, he was not the kind of person who was prescient. Otherwise, how could it be possible to run to a ghost place like Red Rock City to develop? And, became a dark hunter?

If he had the idea of joining the army, he should have joined the Wehrmacht directly, or participated in the selection of recruits for the main army.

What is Redstone City? It's a sordid black den filled with criminals of all kinds.

All right! Even if all of the above analyses are wrong, then how can Su Hao's cousin in Konoha Town be explained?

Although he is not a top-level civil administrator, he can be regarded as the best of this group. He manages Konoha Town in good order, and he also has skills comparable to those of the best surgeons. He had good guts and knew when to start, so when he faced the Clemen family's boy called Brito, he simply scrapped it. He didn't have a good impression of the nobles, so he could deal with Garros and the others present together, but he chose not to make more enemies.

Also, the movements of the aristocratic group around Konoha Town at that time, as well as the 441st Infantry Division of the Wehrmacht, were also strange. Those nobles obviously didn't get the contribution points from Su Hao's hands, but they still left. In addition, Brigadier General Badam, commander of the 441st Division, should be a benefit-sharing person for the nobles. He did not attack Su Hao, but chose to silently lead the troops back to the station. This is not normal and does not make sense.

The only explanation is that Su Hao reached some kind of agreement with the nobles and Badam at that time. According to the analysis of the time schedule, the full involvement of the "Iron Warriors" legion should be after that. A commoner who has no power to attach himself to, can actually move between the noble group and a brigadier general of the Imperial Wehrmacht, not only saving Konoha Town, but also not losing anything. This kind of thing is simply unimaginable, and it is no different from the legendary story of Cinderella who picks up garbage and is met by a noble prince, and then the two fall in love and get married.

The Duke never thought that the prince would fall in love with any Cinderella. The man sitting in the luxury car will definitely not look at the sanitation workers on the street. No matter how young and innocent that woman is, she will never have the capital to attract the prince. Fairy tales are fairy tales after all, and they are made up for people to see. However, Su Hao's appearance broke the duke's understanding of fairy tales, and it really happened. It's unimaginable, and it's no different from the legendary story of Cinderella who picks up garbage and is met by a noble prince, and then two people fall in love and get married.
