Chapter 244: Resigning as Sun Lord

Months passed quickly, and when the vast Star Sea fleet retreated from the most intense war zone in the star, no one blamed the Sun Lords for their sudden departure, especially when they saw the nascent world of Skadi Fortress.

The resurgence of life on Skadi and the magnetic force generated by a large number of devices once again resurrected the Mandeville Point in the entire world, which no longer existed, and the powerful force weakened the chasm of subspace and reality, so Skadi's strategic fortress attributes were also more defined.

The reappearance of Mandeville Point near Skadi also made it easier for the Empire's troops to gather, for this long history of human civilization, there are not many such miracles, and the death of the planet will probably cause humanity to lose a star path to the universe forever, but now, Skadi's commercial shipping route has not only not left, but has become stronger.

Without the Emperor's blessing, many people would not have been able to explain the miracles, and they would have had to trust the Sun Lord, who caused them, and after the mountains of corpses were cleared from the castle, the Skadis finally had a new home of their own.

The castle's recycling system and small planting areas produce crops that make the fortress self-sufficient, and the bombs dropped by the heretics have caused Skadi's previously unnutritious soil to begin to recover from a large amount of external matter, and the dead and a large amount of dust ash and atmospheric stability have revived the parched world.

Or the Empire's inhumane agricultural fertilizers could fill the gap, but the Sunlord didn't want Skadi to fall into despair of being without plants again, and the consumption of purchased air would make Skadi's good fortune worse if he was on track.

When a list of planned imports is written on vellum paper, such as plants suitable for barren land, crops, the greening of the planet, and the purchase of large quantities of fresh water.

It's just that the only advantage of this world, the population, has been seriously depleted, and the whole world is only a few hundred thousand people even if you add soldiers, and it is naturally impossible to rebuild a world.

Immigrants from the surrounding worlds or the people of Gondela VI, Pan Lan, and even Mina Tiria can provide enough resources and productivity, and the purchase of water and air can also find a way, and the Sun Lord can use all the resources of several star sectors to build this world.

But the Sun Lord was not so greedy, and his mind was preoccupied with how to develop the finances of the major recorded worlds under his command in the long run, which was rare in the Empire, and his friendship with the Governors of the planets was worth it, although it was not something that the Sun Lord did.

He was the governor of Skady, and he relied on this to do so, when the light of the Sun Lord withdrew from his power, but the convenience it brought did not dissipate.

He will inevitably destroy the withering and decay and oppress the interests of others, so since this matter is inevitable, let the way that he can bring more benefits to this star region to act.

Evil can make things worse, so let the Sun Lord make it short-lived and hot.

When the brown paper was written one by one, Alan Baier took a sip of coffee and rubbed his brow with dark circles. "Staff officer, has the expeditionary force arrived, the time is almost up."

"It's almost, in the Chapel, Commander-in-Chief Zivan, Chief of Staff Kane, and under the Sun Lord, you inherited the legion fleet of Vice Admiral Macato from the Pangia subplanet, and secondly, the Partolia Legion is also ready, and the Master Chief of the Destruction Falcon is also coming on behalf of the warband." The staff officer replied.

"They've overcome most of the enemies in the entire sector, except for a portion of the traitor forces entrenched in the Gillian spaceport that are still stubbornly struggling, but the Imperial Guard has cut off their supply lines, and victory isn't far off." The chief of staff made the situation clear, and Alan Bair asked.

"Gilly? A spaceport? He was a little surprised that there was such a spaceport as a place close to the Sun and the Maelstrom, whether it was the lack of commerciality of the sector or the possibility of exploring unknown regions, the Pangia subsector was still not a high priority, but a spaceport was worth a lot.

"That's right, Spaceport, Commander, this was once garrisoned by Admiral Pygmunster of the Imperial Admiral, and was used to explore the autonomous area of the Maelstrom region." The staff officer replied.

"Exploring the Maelstrom?" Alan Bair was a little surprised, what else was the value of that place?

"Monitoring heretics, pirates, and allowing traders, adventurers, and outlaws to recycle ancient technology or dangerous alien creations that may emerge from the subspace, the maelstrom is terrifying, but it is also a treasure trove of feng shui for making a fortune." The staff officer immediately explained, and he saw the Sun Lord's doubts.

Alan Baier nodded. "It's understandable, so the scale of a spaceport is not large, why not just destroy it?"

"There are also many imperial nobles, merchant ronins, many of them are Terra era, families who signed an agreement with the emperor ten thousand years ago, they occupy it, and at the same time emphasize peace in the name of the autonomous region and the concept of neutral zones, plus now because of chaos, the imperial generals in that area have died in battle, and now they belong to the merchant dynasty, and the Imperial Guard has no right to attack." The Chief of Staff spat out bitter words, but Alan Baier felt that something was wrong.

"Isn't there a springboard for the Red Pirates to invade this world? What neutral zone brings together aliens and heretics and emphasizes their nobility? What if those things bite the ronin like a white-eyed wolf? Alan Barr scolded, but those things were probably a nest of snakes and rats, and they had a license to trade with the Empire, and they were even more fearless.

(Plunder Certificates, like the legal looting documents issued by the British during the imperialist era in the Guterra era, allowed the holder to have a self-governing territory and legally loot any Void Engine of a non-Imperial fleet, and even legally possess and use Xenotech, which raises questions about heresy.) )

"That's right, I heard that the plunder license of that merchant dynasty is the Imperial Genoplasm, the supreme license issued by Robert Killiman." The chief of staff sighed, and admitted the helplessness of this matter, of course, he was not complaining about the choice of the gene protogen, this family may have been loyal to the liver and liver before, and even had been recognized by the gene proto.

Now they are a thorn in the side of the Empire, and the stupid ones will treat hundreds of billions of lives for the sake of so-called profits, and the Imperial Guard cannot even give them decent warnings and notices because of the sheer size of the Empire's red tape and intricacies of power.

But now that the Imperial Guard needed to be integrated, the Sun Lord had to put those troubles behind his head, and he stepped out of his room, and the guards and guards who had been waiting at the door for a long time instantly attached to his side, while Sergeant Katachan looked at the brown paper in the Sun Lord's hand in the ranks.

"Have you started building this place?" He was very attentive to this matter, no, it should be said that all the living people of the whole Skadi were particularly attentive to this matter, which represented revival, rebirth, future, hope or more complex or strange feelings.

Family, kinship, blood, race, and so on will begin anew in this withered ancient world, and they are like history, they have become history, and even joined in it, leaving a strong and colorful painting, and may still endure for the next 10,000 years of mankind.

The words of Sergeant Skadi made the entire guard team come, and the soldiers who had been away from their homes for a long time turned their faces sideways and looked carefully at the Sun Lord's relaxed expression.

The Sun Lord nodded as well. "That's right, the next step will be the blood transfusion of the casting world Pan Lan and Miletilia to this world, and a huge commercial group that belongs to Skadi and connects the two galaxies and a huge commercial channel that spreads thousands of light years will rise from the ground."

"According to my calculations, Skady and the 154 or so imperial worlds on this route will prosper in the next thousand years, no one will be short of food and clothing (provided that there is citizenship), no one will leave their homeland, Skady will be a shield against the invasion of the forces of Chaos, and the frequent trade of other worlds will produce endless resource abundance."

"The entire sector will come alive, and the Panjiya subsector and the Gondelwa subsector will become the second Otlama Five Hundred World!"

If these words are said by others, they will inevitably lead to ridicule. But the honor and miracle of the Sun Lord left no one here in doubt, and when the jewel of the Otlama Empire was thrown, the idea that Skadi would one day become a glittering, the brightest jewel on the Imperial Throne filled the minds of all the listeners.

"Too... Incredible! "For a rare time when Sergeant Katakán was stuck, and the strongmen who were not surprised and frightened were short-circuited by such words, and when those men lost their ability to think with excitement and incredulity, the grand and beautiful chapel had arrived.

Those officers, heroes or strongmen from all over the planet gathered together, the Imperial Guard and the Imperial Navy talked to each other, and the generals who were constantly at odds with each other handed each other wine glasses.

It's almost impossible to see, but because of the Sun Lord's greatness, it's hard to imagine that this young man will be one of the supreme commanders of the largest military institution that rules the Empire, and it's hard to imagine that he will be a really strong candidate for the High Lords' Council.

When Commander-in-Chief Zifan stepped forward, he took out the wine and pushed the glass to the hero, and asked Alan Baier. "Mr. Sun Lord, I heard that there are vacant seats in the High Lord's Council, according to your merits and status, it is not difficult to join it, even if you are not elected this time, I am afraid that most of the seats in the next hundred years will be vacant except for the casting general."

"The most honorable supreme leader of the Empire, I wish Terra to be set foot in by you as soon as possible."

These words made the attention of all the officers in the entire hall advance, that's right, the Sun Lord is too young, if he wants to, he must be able to live for hundreds of years, the merits and many facts of this expedition, thwarting the traitors and the Chaos invasion, defeating the terrible enemies that affect the Sun Star Field, plus the empire's powerful life extension system, then he still has hundreds of years of life, so becoming a high lord is basically a sure thing.

But Alan Bair just shook his head. "High Lord, I'm not interested."

"Oh my God." An officer said. "God Emperor...", some generals were surprised.

Just because this is an opportunity for the Imperial Guard to set foot in the core power of the Empire, the Sun Lord's words mean that he will replace the entire Imperial Guard to deny them the right to speak in the Empire for about 300 years!

They were almost annoyed, but they did not dare to express it in front of this young man who had done so much merit and had such a terrible fortress, because the phrase represented the possibility of rejecting the imperial right to skew the imperial guard for hundreds of years.

Commander-in-Chief Qi Fan noticed that the atmosphere was not right, and he immediately changed his tone. "The world of Skadi Fortress is really beautiful, what are your plans for this time, the imperial side, well, you also know how those pigs are, our expedition is probably over here."

"It's nothing, Your Excellency Qi Fan, don't neglect your greatness because of my rights." After saying that, Alan Baier just walked forward to the banquet center, and most of the people focused on this young man who was in his prime and in the limelight, and said a word from Commander Qi Fan. "Oh, let's toast another drink to the Emperor's chosen one!" He raised his glass.

At this moment, the Sun Lord took off the Star of Terra badge on his chest in full view of everyone and spoke.

"I know that you want me to be one of the 12 seats of the High Lord of Terra, plus the Marshal of the Imperial Guard, the Admiral of the Imperial Navy, and it is possible that under my rights, I will be able to eat the three seats of the High Lord of the Empire, in other words, the right to hold all the rights of the Empire."

"But because of this, I have chosen to announce now that I personally will resign from the position of Sun Lord and devote the rest of my life to protecting the Pangia sub-sector of the Empire and guarding over the possibility of a Maelstrom Chaos invasion, and I will fulfill my rights as Lord of Skadiburg, not the rights of the Imperial Guard machine."

"I don't belong to anyone, I'm a lord of Skadi, I don't fight for power, I'm a soldier of the Empire."

After a few words, the whole banquet was silent, how could anyone leave this chaotic muddy water field at the peak of power and become the real lord of the empire is only a current possibility, that is after the era of apostasy, the peak of power, under the human emperor, among the 12 lords, hundreds of billions of lives!

There was no applause, no joy, no joy, no insults, and in the deathly silence and incomprehension, gloomy feelings appeared, and when people realized the "stupidity" of this young man, the disappointment that flashed in their hearts almost stunned those who were looking forward to the high-ranking officials.

At this moment, the atmosphere of the banquet took a sharp turn, but Commander Qi Fan shouted. "I agree with that."

Chief of Staff Kane echoed. "Then I agree."

Commander of the Partolia Corps, Colonel Ryan replied. "Seconded."

Non-commissioned officer of the Decon Falcon, as well as the old men of General Macato, along with the heroes of the Skadi Guard, began to applaud first...

Then the atmosphere of the banquet suddenly became lively, because those people woke up, even if the Sun Lord was no longer the Sun Lord, he was still a giant who could drive the forces of war across several star sectors, not a guy they could despise.

And in this resignation ceremony, many of the officers' beautiful secretaries or personal staff officers showed a hint of approval.

Rip back, sometimes it's harder than going in...
