"My lord, we're going to enter the Otlama field right away—but my thermal sensor tells me you're in a state of agitation right now."

Jin bowed down, and the metal behemoth bent down beside the thin old man, the gold and black stone ornaments on the red robe swaying.

Machado opened his eyes, which had been closed, seemingly pretending to sleep,

Under the deep eye sockets, Makado glanced at Sage Jin like a hawk.

Kim was unmoved.

After a long time, Machado sighed deeply,

He ...... He told me what had happened to Cartier at the end. ”

Kim's indicator flickered frantically for a moment, and he said calmly,

"My lord, I don't understand what you mean."

Macado paused, feeling the turbulence of the ship as it sailed, remembering what he had just seen through the chaos of subspace.

Machado staggered, his hand holding the scepter on his shoulder.

“…… Maybe I should have been nicer to him. ”

The old man muttered softly to himself, but chuckled again,

"No...... I might have to push harder at the end. ”

Makado stood up, and he felt the huge spiritual impact coming from the emperor's side when the star torch was extinguished, and when the impact came.

He was sure that something had attacked the network, but at the moment he was out of the solar system, and Machado was not sure what it was, nor was he sure of the damage to the network.

But judging by the degree of feedback from the Lord's psionic energy......

…… This is at least better than originally expected.

Makado smiled bitterly, on the side of the Lord of Humanity, his old bones are of little use.

The Lord of Humanity will take care of it, the Forbidden Army and the Fist of the Empire are in Terra at the moment, and under the Emperor's orders, the Salamanders have also begun to return to the defense and participate in the defense of the network under the palace.

Makado smiled bitterly, he really shouldn't have cowered in Terra anymore, before this, the imperial regent was always hidden in the light of the emperor,

This always makes people forget that Machado is also a bright human star.

Machado sighed again, his friend Hades had rushed to his battlefield without fear, and it was time for his old bones to play with his life.

But...... Before that, Makado thought about it, and he looked at the glittering dot on the star map, the Macurag, where their ship was already very close.

The old man frowned—not just frustrated by the need to explain Hades' situation to the primordial there.

What's more, he felt an unsettling aura in that star field—

…… Some kind of presence locked on to Motarian.

Macado hid his gloomy gaze under his hood.

Things may have been more troublesome than he had imagined.

——————————

Motarian strode down the streets of Maculag, and he saw the faint crowd of human heads in the streets.

Killiman's second-in-command, Gage catches up with Mortarian, and even though the original doesn't run, Gage still has to trot to keep up with Mortarian.

"Your Excellency, you would like to receive temporary general security rights for Maculag."

[It is the temporary supreme authority, including permission to start war, full vigilance, regional blockade, and material mobilization. 】

Gage's voice stopped, but after a moment, his serious voice rang out again,

"My lord, at the behest of Master Robert Killiman, it is difficult for me to give you these permissions."

The tall, lanky pale giant glanced nonchalantly at Gage, who was sure that in that moment, he felt some kind of murderous intent, a sensation that brushed the back of his neck and made him creep.

[Kind, responsible, Robert Killiman's little commander,]

Motarian said,

[I just emphasize that I have come to save the lives of most people, and to prevent humanity from falling into the hands of subspace as much as possible. 】

[I'm not interested in what you call the glory of war, political correctness, and human rights correctness...... And others, everything, things that have nothing to do with life and materials. 】

Motarian's hoarse voice was like the scales of a viper streaking across the stone path of Maculag, and the viper stabbed its core, snaking its way up Gage's legs and wrapping around his neck.

[I'm not interested in Macurag. 】

Motarian said,

[But Macurag can't fall.] 】

[Now do you understand, Commander Killiman?] 】

Gage swallowed, the original being pressuring him, and he knew it.

The head of the first station pondered, he weighed like a standard ultramarine, and finally, he spoke,

"My lord, the Ultramarines will assist the Death Guard in this battle, but you must give us a reasonable reason - we need to weigh the risks."

Motarian let out a sneer, and was about to laugh —

The Lord of Death stopped.

Gage, who was chasing him, took a sharp step forward, he wanted to ask the Lord of Death what had happened, but he saw Motarian slowly raise his head and look at the sky,

【…… It's not just here. 】

Mortarian stretched out his hand and motioned for Gage to hand him the command board in his hand,

Gage handed it over, and the primordial opened the star map, circled the first fallen world.

Motarian then opened Makulag's map and expertly circled the key hubs and streets.

The Lord of Death lifted the command board to his side and let go, the command board fell from his fingertips, and Gage hurriedly caught it,

[4 minutes...... No, in three minutes, you'll get the news that Yax has fallen. 】

Motarian hissed under his gas mask, completely ignoring the shocked Gage, and he continued to speak blandly,

[Garrison the streets and hubs I circled, and tell the Mechanical Magi to patrol the water circulation system in Maculag now and call all the apothecaries out.] 】

Gage glanced at the original's handwriting cursoryly,

"You mean—the plague?!"

The Lord of Death laughed,

[If only it were just the plague. 】

Motarian said,

[Now, with a full lockdown, if your Maculags still want to escape, the Death Guard won't mind providing some non-lethal gas bombs - just one, and an entire stretch of arterial road will be unfit for any carbon-based creatures for the next week.] 】

Motarian looked up again, and thick clouds gathered across the sky.

It's going to rain.

————————————

Severn was uncomfortable.

Even though he succeeded in becoming an immigrant in Macurag, the fear in his heart did not dissipate.

A huge hollow was eating away at him.

He felt uneasy, he felt terrified, he felt uncomfortable and disbelieving in the dense flow of people and the whole world was moving at a rapid pace.

It shouldn't be like this.

Severn thought that he remembered his home planet of Jax, the calm and peaceful agricultural world, where nothing would change, and the world would reach eternity in the cycle of crops.

He subconsciously scratched the scars on the back of his head, and they gave him the touch like ripe, heavy berries.

The whispers of the gods echoed in his ears, and he sat up from his hospital bed and nervously walked to the stairwell of the hospital, where he was going to the third basement floor.

There, he met the remaining six people.

"Take it easy."

Raton muttered.

All right!
