Chapter 16: The Planet Sarah

Planet Sarah, an imperial mining world located in the Brown system.

It was rich in mineral resources, and many slaves and subjects of the empire were responsible for the mining and processing of minerals. Unfortunately, the planet's surface is endured by deadly radiation, leaving people to work underground. Most cities are also built underground, and people live in extremely harsh conditions, and some people may not even have seen the sky in their entire lives.

Intense radiation and pollution from factories have made it impossible for the planet to grow food on a large scale, and workers rely on imports for food. Poor living conditions, scarce living space, and near-zero food production made it impossible for the Empire to settle large-scale miners on the planet. There are only about two million people in the entire mining world, and the vast majority of them are slaves.

"Berkshire", the only surface city on the planet Sarah, the entire city is composed of warehouses, cells, and refineries, and is stationed in a 10,000-strong astral army - Sarah's Sixth Corps. These legions are responsible for maintaining order on the planet Sara and recruiting quality soldiers from among the planet's workers and slaves.

When the rebellion broke out, Kingsley, the commander of Sarah's 6th Corps, quickly stabilized the situation. He ordered all his soldiers to assemble at Berkshire, and although some of his men were corrupted by Chaos, he remained loyal as the supreme commander, and under his leadership, the Loyalist Astral Army quickly wiped out the traitors and took Berkshire under his control.

But controlling Berkshire means nothing. The planet Sara is very different from the planet Philimon, who is mostly corrupted by chaos on the upper floors of the planet, and the corruption spreads from top to bottom. At the beginning of the rebellion, most of the soldiers and residents at the bottom were leaderless, and they were even more chaotic under the harassment of the aliens released by the Chaos Cultists, which led to the rapid fall of the planet Philippon.

If a leader had bravely stepped forward to rally his forces and liberate the city, perhaps the Chaos cultists would not have been able to perform a demon-summoning ritual in the center of the city, and the rebellion could have been quickly suppressed at an early stage.

Most of the people corrupted by Chaos on Sara are low-level slaves and miners, who spread evil beliefs in the deep and dark tunnels, and it is difficult for the Astral Army to supervise these miners in the depths of the earth at all times, making Chaos beliefs widely spread among slaves and miners.

At this time, although Kingsley quickly controlled Berkshire, he could only go so far, and it was difficult for those cultists in the tunnels to be cleared up, and it was difficult for the loyal Imperial people in the tunnels to be rescued. Kingsley could only order the soldiers to guard the exit of the tunnel to stop the cultists from rushing into the city, or wait for some lucky laborers to escape on their own.

In the early days of stabilizing Berkshire, Kingsley actually sent an elite team to search and rescue miners and slaves who had not rebelled. He knew that it would be impossible to wipe out the evil forces in the entire underground tunnels of Sara with his own forces, but perhaps he could save some of the Empire's workers, who were the wealth of the Empire and could not be wasted.

Shortly after the elite team entered the tunnel, they were attacked by a group of slaves of Chaos Faith. These slaves are very familiar with the labyrinthine underground, and are always able to attack from unexpected places. But fortunately, they only have some tools for mining minerals, and they don't have any real powerful weapons.

The elite squad quickly drove the group of slaves away, but their danger was only beginning.

Soon they found a group of workers who claimed to be still loyal to the Empire, and the workers told the elite team that they had come together and built a gathering place somewhere, hoping that the elite team would lead the people of the gathering place back to the surface, but when the elite team arrived at their gathering place, the group finally revealed their other faces.

Using some mining explosives, they blew up some key tunnels, and some members of the elite team were buried alive under the rubble. The miners also had some homemade improvised weapons in their hands and attacked the elite team, trying to snatch the weapons and equipment from the elite team.

These people are violent gangs in the mines, who are usually oppressing ordinary laborers and exploiting the fruits of their labor. The mob already harbored a grudge against the Empire, and after the rebellion of the forces of Chaos, they also broke away from the Empire.

But without the rule of the Empire, their living conditions did not improve, and could even be said to be worse. The ordinary laborers who were usually oppressed by them turned to the arms of chaos and began to take revenge on them. With their small numbers, they could hardly resist the large number of Chaos Cultists, so they had to risk snatching the weapons of the Astral Army to improve their combat effectiveness and protect themselves.

It may be a risky act, but the fact that these gang members can't disguise themselves as ordinary workers and follow the elite squad back to the surface is the best idea they can think of.

Almost every one of these thugs has committed crimes that are enough to be shot. Normally, they rely on the labyrinthine underground tunnels to avoid the pursuit of the Astral Army and the Ministry of Justice, and if they return to the surface with the elite team now, they will not be able to successfully pass all kinds of search and interrogation, verification and verification. At that time, it can only be handled by the Astral Army.

Fortunately, this violent gang is small in number, and the elite team manages to eliminate them after paying some casualties.

But just as the elite team was about to retreat, they found that an endless number of cultists had appeared in the surrounding tunnels and surrounded them...

Kingsley, who was on the surface, abandoned the team and stopped sending troops underground. Waiting for the Empire's support.

After waiting for a long time, Kingsley finally discovered that a cruiser had arrived in the Brown system, but the cruiser flew directly to the planet Philimon. Kingsley had to endure a little, praying that Philimon's rebellion would be crushed and that the cruiser would come to his aid.

After about a week of waiting, Kingsley finally got in touch with Philemon and got the reinforcements he wanted.

When the Voyage landed in Berkshire, Kingsley welcomed it with a group of soldiers.

The hatch opened, and Sivir, dressed in gold armor, walked out first.

"Emperor... Emperor..."

Kingsley, who saw Siwell, was speechless in shock. I thought it was a spicy man who rushed to Sarah.

"The Emperor's son, Sivier Disses, has come to Sarah's aid with his troops." Siwell held out his right hand to Kingsley.

"Ah, oh, thank you for your support, Lord Sivir." Kingsley recovered from the shock and hurriedly shook hands with Siwell.

"I already know the general situation of Sarah, and I have brought you some food. Now let's find a place to discuss in detail how to get rid of the traitors here. ”

"Yes, Lord Sivir, please come with me."
