Death, not far from every loyal person of the empire, some people regard it as the gift of the emperor, but in fact it is just a nightmare of this cruel universe, gathering under the golden throne is the only gift that the emperor gives people, cruel and gentle.

Captain Tesk was so loyal and intelligent, but the poison of heresy eventually took his life, and so did the other Imperial Guards, and the forced march at the end of their lives drained them all, loyalty, life, everything, just like this parched world.

Surrounded by countless survivors, the warrior whose goal was to push the cup to the Skadi legends closed his eyes three days ago, and at that moment, the Master Chief saw a man who was withered like a demon, and even then, he was the one who had been the most loyal man for the longest time.

The Space Marines covered his coffin, the stars sang his praises, the Emperor's protection came as scheduled, and his soul returned to the Golden Throne, a hero's stranger.

The Master Chief fell to his knees and thanked the sacrificed with honor and admiration that no mortal could bear, and in his eyes the man who killed the entire 154th Infantry Regiment and the 44th Heavy Infantry Regiment of Loander was not a heretic, but him.

The lieutenant didn't understand what was happening, but he could get to the heart of the matter when he looked at the brand-new tombstone, a hero like the other Skadi brothers, but he became a martyr, and that was the limit of mortal forces.

The second lieutenant has little affection for civilians, but he has infinite tolerance for the Imperial Guard, because he is in this big family, and loves this big family...

"yes, if we go out with you, will that change?"

"Yes, but strategic deployment is more important, now the enemy doesn't know that you are coming, the effect can be better, they haven't gathered strength, obviously too..." So what, they are dead, and it can be done by the Skadian to take back this place, but the man is dead. ”

The second lieutenant looked at the tombstone passively, and the master chief suddenly slapped him in the face, as a superman, the strength has been collected a lot, but even so, the big man of the second lieutenant was almost knocked to the ground.

Master Chief glared at him and said. "So what, can the Skadians take back this world the same as they take it themselves? Although the Destruction Eagle is a help, but the main battlefield, the sacrifice of thousands of men and women in Loand, do you have to turn a blind eye? ”

"You're a warrior, not a god!" He pointed at the mortal's cheek and scolded, as a Space Marine, he knew his state very well, and he also knew how to view the war, and fell into the fact that the second lieutenant had already thought too highly of them, even if the Skadian could easily win, then this world was still the world of the Loanders?

According to Alan Bair's character, this place will definitely be turned into a large experimental field, conducting various social tests, and Loander is no longer Loand, but now it is they themselves who have taken back this world, and those sacrifices are worthwhile, and the second lieutenant is now defiling those brave and loyal, and putting himself in a very high position, comparable to the position of the emperor!

The ensign covered his cheek and thought, the stinging place kept him from concentrating, and then he asked. "If we don't attack the free port, but help the heroes everywhere to liberate their homeland..."

He meditated and pondered, and soon realized that those worlds would be truly loyal to Skady, and see Skadi as the de facto capital of the sector, and that no matter how powerful Freeport was at this moment, any system near him would treat Alan Bair as a hero, and his coercion would no longer exist.

Victory is not the destruction of them, as long as Freeport cannot be destroyed in a few days, the huge maintenance consumption of dozens of warships will squeeze Skady and the countless worlds behind him, because if the battle line is expanded by a light year, the transportation consumption will be doubled...

"Huh... I see, I see, the nearest shortcut is a detour. He smiled bitterly, the real fight will put the legion in a difficult situation, but the liberation of many worlds oppressed by Enjili will gain people and geography, and victory is only a short time.

The path to becoming the Lord of the Void turned out to be so close, and the second lieutenant bowed to the Master Chief. "Thank you..."Many of his feelings were of gratitude to the Master Chief for not using his strength, otherwise his head would have flown out.

He then saluted the Aquila to the grave of the loyal captain, and expressed his feelings, as well as many mixed emotions, but now he was no longer seen as his savior, but was one of the thousands of lives that were alive.

The second lieutenant stepped out of this oppressive place, and stepped through the busy port of Skadians, and he soon found Alan Byer, and with the help of those who were extremely loyal and steadfast pdf, the road was not difficult to find, and Ellen Byal, who had just finished openly reassuring the suffering of the people, rested in his room in the refugee camp below Starport, with the female inquisitor by her side as usual making a memoir.

The hero of the empire spoke in a reminiscent tone on a couch of dilapidated faux leather, looking at the incense candles visiting at the wooden table.

"Loand, in my personal investigation, the former planetary governor of this world is not a good person, at least in my judgment is incompetent, but the empire does not feel that way, because although he is not capable of protection, he is very good at suppressing the inhabitants."

"The sheer tax rate and the belief in the state religion are so ironic that in Gaugothic, Loand, which should have meant the capital of peace."

"But now it seems that the oppression has shaped the great character of the Imperial Guard, and the strong faith of the inhabitants, and sadly such a model world has finally been killed by the stupidity of its lords, and now it is full of disease, pollution, death, and the disgusting involvement of the traitors of the Free Port with the power and territory of the Empire, and it also means that another battle for us, the Skadi people, will begin because of death and change."

"But the one I will never forget is the scene I saw with Skadi's escort team on the transport ship, where a child was killed by an unexploded ordnance while recovering resources."

"This is quite a stupid thing to do, and it means that the recovery team didn't realize that many of the things left behind from the war were dangerous, and behind this situation was the frightening ignorance or numbness of the numb Loanders, as well as the higher chance of death for those who were out and about."

He finished picking up the glass and pouring the yellow drink into his mouth, and Miss Nova took note in a rather relaxed gesture, and finally wrote her own recorder's comment where the second lieutenant could glimpse it.

He praised Lord Skady's benevolence and sensitivity, and gave a personal assessment of Loand's current situation.

The arrival of the second lieutenant shattered the tranquility, and perhaps it had become a luxury for Alan Bair to be in the same room with Miss Nova to taste wine, rest, reminisce, and organize his thoughts, but he still did not blame the man whom he almost regarded as his brother.

"Second Lieutenant, I'm not in good spirits, why are my cheeks red? Where have you molested a? Alan Bair spoke to him with a military-style teasing, and the second lieutenant subconsciously rubbed his cheek.

"Boss, it's a who is too hot for mortals to touch, and he has taught me a lot, such as the new story of this world and the cruelty of heresy."

"Him?" Alan Bair was a little surprised, because there was a clear difference between her and him in low Gothic, and then he thought about it. "Master Chief beat you?" He uttered the almost impossible reality that the Space Marines would not be able to do anything to the Skadi veterans, no matter how irritated, because the Skadis were almost the only mortal legion approved by the Destruction Eagle.

The ensign just nodded, and replied. "I said something like a bastard."

"But thanks to my own stupidity, I now understand that there is nothing wrong with the strategy you gave, we are the Imperial Guard, not the Imperial Expeditionary Force, and what we do is always protect, not kill."

Alan Baier nodded. "Yes, remember, you must always remember, as long as you remember so, those supreme demons will never control you, killing is not pleasure, desire cannot be sunk, things will eventually change, trickery is not everything."

This sentence made Miss Nova look up, as she had gone through the position of the weakest acolyte to the current position of holding the rose knot in her hand as an Inquisitor, dealing with the gods was almost her duty, especially after she met several demon Inquisitors, which deepened her fear of subspace.

She wanted to open her mouth slightly, and thought that the person in front of her had experienced many great things, and succeeded, if the emperor's light really shone, then it was probably given to him, so she lowered her head again, and recorded this sentence on the last page of the notepad.

But after a brief thought, she erased it again, because as an Inquisitor, she didn't need to give truth, she only needed the citizens of the empire to recognize what they needed.

Therefore, this golden rule only benefited the second lieutenant, although he did not know the situation of the gods, nor did he systematically understand any demons, although he was mortal in the flesh, but as a young man, he still had many almost infinite possibilities.

For now, the young man who could do many miracles for the empire is just a nod from Muna.

Alan Bair just continued. "The work on the ground is going well and I think soon we can leave."

The second lieutenant was a little surprised. "Where to go?"

"Ngilli Spaceport, we're going to raid the enemy." Alan Bair replied.

"But aren't we going to spread our fighting power and then gain an advantage?" The second lieutenant did not quite understand.

Alan Baier just said. "The Doom Eagle currently has 40 battle brothers, the strike cruiser Baptism, we have the Pordero and the 4th and 5th Infantry Regiment of Skadi and the 113th Panzer Regiment of Vlaxia, the 1st Pangia Armored Regiment, a total of two Imperial standard cruisers and enough infantry force to fight any world."

"At the same time, only half a million men and two warships can rely on this world for logistics, and the mobility is also extremely high, and we are not trying to take the Njili spaceport this time, but to let them know what happened to the looting of Skadi."

The second lieutenant did not quite understand. "What do you mean, we don't have to wait for the supply points to be built and help the Imperial Worlds before attacking?"

Alan Bair replied. "No, we're going to attack, but we're going to have to use great mobility and enough firepower to attack, there are many space stations and asteroid bases created for trade around Freeport, and those things are the core of its vast defense network, equivalent to the Steel Gate that Pan Lan used when we worked with the Mechanics before."

"Although it doesn't have an oversized monster weapon like the Volcano Cannon, it's okay to show a defensive power comparable to a warship just by relying on its huge physique, which is why the N'Gilli Free Trade Port has no fear."

"Those intricate core defense networks help each other, which is why I don't approve of the breakthrough of the Great Army, those behemoths of the Imperial Navy to attack that defense network are like a giant sword to cut a sponge, and the final effect will not be much better than a knife, but a waste of effort for no reason."

The second lieutenant nodded. "So, we..."

Alan Bair replied. "Attack, the starport in this area is well preserved, and it can be used as a transit station, as long as the local basic replenishment factory is open, a large number of cargo ships will bring a large number of people and a full set of supply lines to rebuild this place into a fortress."

Inquisitor Nova said immediately. "It's going to be a lot of drain..."

Alan Bair just replied. "This is close to the Maelstrom, we need more fortresses, to make worlds into chains, to hold the Lord of the Maelstrom in it, like the Eye of Fear, to let it be imprisoned by the countless sacrifices of the Empire, and become a prisoner of the Great Emperor."

"This..."Nova is a little incredible, even the High Lords only dare to create a suppressive force composed of space soldiers and Imperial Guards in the chaotic and terrifying area of the Maelstrom, and this alone also leads to the claws of the starry sky, that is, Huron's betrayal, but this man actually wants to lock up the entire Maelstrom?

"This is not the eye of fear, the subspace storm is more messy, the scope is larger, it is quite a star region, and the empire's control area is limited, and all the neighboring worlds are turned into a prison chain, and it takes thousands of fortress worlds, and the empire can't afford it!" She asked right away.

Alan Baier nodded. "Yes, but difficulty does not mean impossible, if several big star regions are willing to work together to trap the scourge of Huron, the empire can save hundreds of billions of lives and hundreds of worlds, the disadvantage is in the present, the merit is in the future, so what about doing it?"

After saying this, Nova just lowered her head and silently wrote on her brown paper.

"I used to think that the personalities of the previous Sun Lords were different, but the most typical of them was the well-known Mr. Makarius, who at the end of his career frantically asked the Imperial fleet to open up the void beyond the Star Torch, and finally died."

"I thought Lord Alan Bair was different, but I suddenly realized that they were exactly the same, ambitious, but today's one has learned the lesson of Lord Makarius, that is, it is more gentle and effective to learn to pretend that there are no fangs and appear more effective than holding power..."
