Chapter Twenty-Three, The Captain's Thoughts

The battle by the bend is over.

The trembling serfs who stayed in the few simple board houses next door were driven out. The junior non-commissioned officers of the Waste Cave Company announced to them that they had been liberated by the Governor and had been freed.

The serfs who heard this did not move at all. They don't even understand what freedom means.

Does freedom refer to the precariousness of wandering in the wasteland in the past? Is it the hunger and cold at the foot of Fuxing City?

At that time, it was quite free, and I could do whatever I wanted, but I had no food to eat, no clothes to wear, and every day I could see the dead, starving, sick, and robbed...... There are all kinds of them.

Especially in winter, it is the hardest.

Compared to those times, they are quite satisfied with their current lives. Although they are not well fed, although they are tired, they are laborers in the fields, and the masters will not let them starve to death - at least until they lose their ability to work.

As a result, now a group of subordinates who claimed to be the Governor came running, crackling and beating, and their master seemed to be finished, and he himself was liberated and freed.

But they were at a loss.

Yes? Am I free?

I almost burst into tears.

However, the next statement reassured them a lot.

They don't know what's so good about freedom, but at least they know that bread is a good thing.

A sufficient amount of food was distributed. The serfs, who had always been half-fed every day—oh, now freedmen—devoured their food.

While they were eating, they were told what to do.

They were no longer serfs, but freedmen under the governor. Next, the Governor would personally govern the entire Floodplain Valley Hacienda, requiring a large number of agricultural laborers. There is also a bonus that is not much, but will increase with production. They come and go freely, without restrictions, and those who wish to stay can be hired.

Fools don't stay.

Suddenly, the panic, confusion, and confusion in the hearts of the serfs almost disappeared.

They don't need to know anything else, they just know that they won't go hungry and blow cold winds later, and that's fine.

When they have their fill, it's time for them to go out to work. The corpses should be cleaned up and burned, the walls that were destroyed during the war should be repaired, and the fields that were trampled on and blown up should be cleaned up, so as to save as much of the harvest as possible.

The whole manor is already busy.

After Yan Fangxu arranged the matter, there was not much else to do.

He looked at the rolling hills across the bend in a daze.

Through the psyker he had just met, or the cultist, he was thinking about his future.

When he was sent to the surface as the governor's guard, he felt that his future was bleak.

He remembered the day when the Governor-General, before leaving the starship to land on the surface, approached the captain of the ship, Elicia, for armed protection. The Commodore Lady had only intended to send three hundred servants to the Governor, and that would be the end of the deal.

But who let him be bored that day, and talk to his colleagues, and tell the joke that an inexperienced woman was promoted to captain and commodore at the speed of light?

What's more, it was heard by the captain.

The God Emperor can be seen, he actually doesn't have much opinion about the female captain in his heart, but his colleagues are joking like this, so he follows and laughs.

But why did the captain hear it when he spoke?

Shit!

It just so happened that the governor named Gu Hang was complaining, and he gave three hundred servants a little too little, so Yelicia waved his hand and asked him to join the governor with thirty marines.

With the joy and laughter of his colleagues and the laughter of gloating, he, a young Marine captain, could only take thirty men to the surface.

He was devastated and felt that life was bleak.

Who doesn't know that the governor of the Raging Owl is a biennial consumable? He was a little captain, offended the captain, and throwing him to the surface was equivalent to exile. Even if he had protected the Governor, he would have been executed for failing to pay his taxes. He will also waste two years in vain on the Raging Owl Star, and he will not be able to make an inch.

But he still has to do his duty. On the one hand, it is the duty of a soldier, and on the other hand, it is one thing for the governor to be executed by the Ministry of Revenue, but if he dies under his protection, then he is very responsible.

As for the Governor, who finally coped with the taxes, and then sat firmly in the position of the Governor of the planet, led the revival of the entire planet, and finally thanked him for his help in the end of the day, became his backer, and let him soar?

He had thought about it in his dreams, but he didn't dare to think about it when he was awake.

Of course he hoped that the future would be like that, but that would be too unlikely. In particular, His Excellency the Governor is still whimsical, and does not intend to start with the rapid reception of the Union power and find a way to collect taxes, but to think about what to develop the territory from scratch...... The God Emperor is above, where do you have that time?

But then I thought, what does this have to do with him? Anyway, it won't be himself who will be executed when the time comes.

Then, as time passed, his heart gradually became alive again. Some thoughts that are only thought of in dreams when you first fall to the surface will occasionally come to mind when you are awake.

Is it really possible for Gu Hang to succeed?

The reason why he thinks this way is of course not only the appearance of Governor Gu Hang, who is always in control. He had seen a lot of people who were pretending, and he did not know, and did not want to know, whether the Governor was like that.

He doesn't want to look at attitudes, he only believes in facts.

The truth is, the Governor is a rare psyker who will accompany them in battle. Two battles were won, and two camps were captured. It wasn't big enough to save lives, but the Governor was moving forward with his plan.

Also, the Governor didn't know where to get the two black box machines. I'm afraid that the Imperial Mechanical Church is willing to pay a lot of money for that kind of magical thing.

These performances gave him more confidence in the Governor than in his sense of responsibility, especially the two black boxes.

Like, isn't it a no-brainer?

And today, with the Governor, he met a psyker. At first, he thought that the man named Wohan was just an ordinary psyker, but according to the Governor's judgment, it was a cultist.

Cults, heretics...... It's a good enemy. If the so-called 'Primordial Beast Sect' is truly recognized as a heretical cult, then the credit for their extermination is not small.

But he still had doubts, was that really a 'cult'?

Was it the Governor's reason for wanting more help, or was it true?

I'm being tricked, and the two chapters of 22/23 are supposed to be tomorrow's content, and the timing is wrong......

Just add more brothers today! There will be two shifts tomorrow as usual.

Manuscripts have been hit hard......

If you haven't seen 22, you can go back and take a look, it's already there.
