Chapter 204: Every human being is the most precious treasure of the empire.
"Is St. Giles crazy?"
Louis Meg's brow furrowed deeply.
Although Motarian used his life to blow up the gate of Helios, because of the existence of Aegis, the gate of Helios was not damaged too much, but only cracked a gap, which was quickly repaired.
But what everyone didn't expect was that the gate of Helios slowly opened a few minutes later, and the light from the city illuminated the battlefield outside the door.
It wasn't a spy who opened the door, it was St. Giles.
The archangel waved his wings and slowly flew out of the gate, slowly flying into the air, and the light on his body was like a torch in the night, causing the mortal army outside the gate to flee in fear towards the gate of Helios.
In the eyes of all, the opening of the gate of Helios represented the fall of the Wall of Eternity, and everyone began to doubt the loyalty of St. Giles in fear.
After all, in order to defend against the chaos caused by Motarian's self-explosion, a large number of Astarte and mortal soldiers paid with their lives, but St. Giles actually opened it directly.
This makes everyone have to doubt his loyalty!
"He is here to bring new hope to mortals on the battlefield, because the next battle is no longer something that mortals can participate in. Tsk tsk, this kind of compassionate bad disease, there is still no change. But it doesn't matter, there's not much time left anyway. Chen Guo had a smile on the corner of his mouth, he had long known that this kind of thing would happen, so he was not too surprised.
"My lord, do you need my help?" Lu Doyiner rushed back to the command center, which had been re-loaded.
"Why do you want to be lazy? Although the Gate of Helios will eventually fall, at least not today. Chen Guo sat down on the chair and began to fish.
There is no point in going up now, and when there is no way to hold on, you can go up and turn the tide again, so that you can highlight your importance even more.
Moreover, at this time, except for Astarte of the Midnight Lord Legion on the front line, only the stinky guys of the Death Guard remained.
Chen Guo doesn't want to get involved with those stinky guys, even if he won't be bothered by their epidemic, but it is inevitable that he will stink, which will make people feel uncomfortable.
Lou Doyne departed with his legion of Thunder Warriors, while Louis Meg began to direct the orderly evacuation of his legions.
There are millions of mortal legions outside the gate, and trying to withdraw them all is a challenge for all mortal commanders.
After about an hour or two, the ground began to tremble violently, Chen Guo walked out of the command room, looking at the huge Titan that was several times higher than the city wall, slowly appeared behind the Gate of Helios, he knew that this attack, Horus had failed again!
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the massive mechanical demon siege towers built by the Cult of Dark Positivity to hit the huge beam of light, the greatest enemy of the Gate of Helios vanished, and the heavy gate slowly closed again.
"Louis Meg, how many people have been evacuated in two hours?"
"Eighty percent of the mortal army has successfully withdrawn, and all the surviving legions under our command have also withdrawn, but the casualties are still very heavy, and most of the surviving legions have begun to spread a terrible epidemic, and a large number of pharmacists have been dispatched, but even if we have made sufficient preparations, we are still helpless in the face of those epidemics, and the treatment effect is not very obvious."
"That's it!" Chen Guo turned his head and glanced at Linda, or nodded knowingly and whispered a few words to Mintis before he said, "The best way to get the chaos plague is to burn it to ashes, and the best way to suppress it in a short period of time is to kill them all and then burn them to ashes...... If you want to cure them all, it is definitely not possible with this condition. But as long as the pharmacist goes down, the spread of the epidemic should be greatly reduced! We've also seen samples of the plague, which contain a lot of terrifying chaotic power, and my personal recommendation is to take those infected soldiers to the palace for a walk. Since those terrifying plagues were caused by the magic of the subspace, the Emperor's spiritual will should be able to alleviate or even remove this disease. ”
"I understand, ma'am, I'm going to arrange for all the soldiers who have contracted the epidemic to be brought to the inner city." Louis Meg said loudly.
"Don't bother! I'll just say hello to St. Gilleis in a moment and ask him to send San Gillerino around for a while. ”
The colossal Titans come from the Imperial Hunter Titan Legion, and are the last of the Titans in the entire Titan Legion, in order to preserve this most powerful combat power.
The Titan Legion came and went in a hurry, but after destroying those mechanical demon towers, they left quickly and disappeared into the layers of the palace.
"Your Excellency, the Imperial Prime Minister has invited you to the meeting!" The Imperial officer, who was coughing violently, quickly ran into Command Room 3.
Smelling the foul smell that roamed in the air, Chen Guo waved his hand casually, and released a silver-red lightning bolt that sent the imperial officer flying.
The silver-red lightning did not freeze him, and when he stood up, he was surprised to find that he no longer coughed.
He immediately understood that his little life was saved, and he didn't have to suffocate to death because of suppuration and infection in his lungs like his colleagues.
"Which legion do you belong to? Are the commanders of your legions idiots? Knowing that the air was full of plague viruses, why didn't they issue oxygen masks to keep out the air? ”
"My lord, the incident happened suddenly ......"
"Let your commanders, after the war is over, go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to be court-martialed!"
Ignoring the Imperial officer, Chen Guo walked outside on his own, Louis Meg following closely behind him.
As the commander of the third command area, he already has the right to participate in such a supreme meeting at this moment.
Because they originally belonged to the imperial palace, Chen Guo and the others came earlier than St. Giles, who was flying in the sky.
However, at this moment, the palace has become chaotic, many mortal legions under the command of the Emperor's Fist have occupied the palace, and under the influence of the emperor's will, they have slowly gotten rid of the epidemic that plagued them, of course, some of those who really can't be saved were dragged out and executed by the officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs after confirming that there was no possibility of salvation, and then burned to the ground.
The law enforcement team of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has also gone to the battlefield, and at this moment, in addition to most of the clerks, only a small number of experts from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the personal guards of the General Secretary are responsible for maintaining order.
In the crowd, Chen Guo saw two familiar figures, two tall and eye-catching Ogelin ape warriors who were particularly eye-catching among the mortal soldiers full of dwarfs.
Seeing them, Chen Guo knew that the chief of intelligence of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Kraft Van Dier should be here.
Unexpectedly, he had come back safely, Chen Guo had specifically looked for him before, but he heard that his fleet had been encircled and suppressed by the Horus fleet outside the solar system, and he may have been sacrificed.
I didn't expect to survive.
Sure enough, there really is some unknown relationship between him and the future Lord Van Dier.
Slowly walking past the soldiers, Chen Guo occasionally shot tiny silver-red lightning bolts into the Imperial soldiers whose bodies were already rotting.
Although the power of thunder could not cure the serious epidemic immediately, it could at least prevent the epidemic from spreading rapidly, so that these imperial soldiers could survive. In addition, the power of thunder is not omnipotent, there is no way to cure, and the damage that those epidemics have caused to them, whether they can survive depends on themselves.
As these silver-red lightning bolts burst out, the pharmacists who had been anxious immediately felt much less stressed, and they no longer had to watch these soldiers die one after another after drinking their own potions.
They looked at the medal temporarily pinned to Chen Guo's armor, and Louis Meg, who was closely behind him with the rank of commander of the third command area, and immediately understood Chen Guo's identity and saluted one after another to express their respect.
Of course, in addition to the pharmacist who discovered Chen Guo's identity, there were also many Astartes and Imperial officers, who closed their mouths one after another, stood up, and saluted with their different etiquette.
The empty hall was originally very noisy, but now it was completely quiet.
Even the wounded, who were howling incessantly because of the pain all over their bodies, were infected by this calm atmosphere and slowly quieted down.
Nodding slightly, Chen Guo walked towards the interior of the palace while treating the wounded passing by.
Hundreds of millions of soldiers poured into the palace, and the soldiers who could get the emperor's will in the palace and assist in dispelling the chaos magic power in their bodies were a small number after all, and most of the soldiers could not even enter the palace, so they could only squeeze on the square behind the gate of Helios.
But this is also a matter of no way, the total palace is so big, if you count the underground palace, it is not difficult to stuff all these soldiers into it, but at this moment, the chaos demons in the underground palace have not been completely cleaned, and sending them in is equivalent to sending them to death.
Chen Guo suddenly stopped, because he saw Maximus, the commander of the Imperial Fist Company, who was helping several apothecaries to rescue mortal soldiers.
Turning around to look at his surroundings, Chen Guo walked towards Maximus.
It seems that apart from him, only Maximus is the only one left in this place, who has to be responsible for vacating the wounded who have been cured, and letting the wounded outside come in and be treated by the emperor's will. Otherwise, even if the mortal soldiers outside had successfully withdrawn from the Gate of Helios, they would still suffer heavy casualties, and the power of the plague would increase as the number of people continued to die.
Before he could get closer, he was heard answering a question from a mortal soldier.
"Your Excellency...... Is it too wasteful to waste so many resources to save mortal armies? I am a coward who is not worth saving, not only failing the trust of the Empire, but also watching my comrades die at the hands of traitors. ”
Chen Guo stopped and stopped again. He looked at the soldier whose whole body was covered in green pus, and suddenly felt something in his heart touch.
Maximus, who was busy, did not notice the arrival of Chen Guo behind him. While feeding the soldier a tube of potion and slowly helping him down on the stretcher, he said unusually calmly, "You are not cowards, you have successfully completed the mission, and the Empire is proud of the sacrifice you made to defend the city walls. Your bravery will forever be remembered in the history books of the Empire......"
Listening to Maximus's standardized language, Chen Guo shook his head.
There's a fart for talking like this at this time!
"Soldier, every human being is the most valuable asset of the Empire, even if you are a coward and have not fulfilled the mission of the Empire, you are still one of the most valuable assets of the Empire. If you think you're a coward, then give me a good life and brush off what you consider to be a coward with the most heroic deeds, instead of being recorded in some so-called imperial history book. History books will never remember the name of a coward......" Chen Guo walked behind Maximus, he looked at the Imperial Fist Company Commander who saluted him, and casually shot a silver-red lightning bolt at the soldier who asked questions.
"Company Commander Maximus, I need you to send all the soldiers who have recovered out of the hall and bring in more Imperial soldiers outside to be treated by the Emperor's will. Since St. Gillis chose to save them, I don't think they could die from the plague from Motarian. ”
'Yes, sir! ’
"Louis Meg will help you!"
After speaking, Chen Guo continued to walk towards the depths of the palace.
There was no place in or outside the palace that was peaceful, the noise of war, the noise of the guards, and the howling of imperial soldiers in pain.
There is one exception, though, and at least it's a little quieter now.
The Great Arctic Strategic Office, Rogdorn's Fortress, the entire palace headquarters.
The fortress is made up of twelve identical sanctuaries. It is connected to the palace by a covered bridge, and it is the oldest building in the palace, some of which are as old as the empire, and were designed and supervised by the emperor himself.
It was one of the few districts that remained intact by order of the Emperor before Dorn authorized the transformation of the entire palace's defenses.
The other areas are the Hall of Victory and the Imperial Senate, the most famous of the Empire.
So far, they have not remodeled their defenses.
Unfortunately, it was precisely because the strategic defense system was not renovated that all of them were blown up by bombs dropped by supersonic aircraft under the command of Horus.
