Chapter 137: Public Opinion Offensive
Rebel stuff is not to be used casually, especially those contaminated with subspace pollution.
The six warships taken from the cultists were also very loyal, and received many blessings from the Apostles of the Messiah in Ohm during their construction.
However, the long period of Chaos corruption still caused its mech to fall into depravity, and it is now an unreliable and dangerous device.
It is obedient to the will of the Chaos cultists.
And when other people use it, it's easy to have all kinds of problems.
Of course, this kind of corruption is not impossible to eliminate, as long as the traces of chaos on the ship are cleaned up, and then the oil guys sing hymns and dance gods on it, so that after ten or twenty years, the degenerate machine soul machine will be tamed again.
However, the current Wei Mu does not have time to do such things.
He didn't even want to try to tow these ships back.
In the event that in the process of sailing in the Sea of Souls, the fallen machine soul suddenly feels unhappy, such as if the Geller Stance Generator fails, countless subspace creatures can invade the interior of the ship, and those who drive the battleship will be directly in vain.
At that time, instead of sending six ships that could be repaired, it would send a full six ships of Chaos Demons.
What's more, Wei Mu has other actions now, and there is no need to disrupt the rhythm for these six warships.
He had the ships docked on the ground and then detonated them with bombs.
The explosion ignited the night and purified the decay of the subspace in the flames.
Good things can't be used, they can only be destroyed by hand, and this scene will certainly make people feel distressed.
But at least for now, the cultists no longer have a chance to do evil with these things.
It took a few days for Wei Mu to deal with the follow-up to the outpost before he was about to leave.
He had learned a lot from the previous captives, such as the location of some of the pirate strongholds and the number of troops deployed on them.
After repeated verification of multiple captive confessions, the praying mantis determined the accuracy of the message.
The places where these cultists usually operate are those strongholds, and the information they want to provide should be very similar.
Wei Mu decided to pick a few of them and continue to stir the nerves of the Red Pirates.
The Mining Guild and the Outpost Garrison were also taken away by the Uyghurs, and if they continued to stay here, they would probably encounter retaliation from the traitors, which would be tantamount to self-defeat.
When the maelstrom is completely calmed, it's not too late to reclaim this resource point.
So, he led the crowd into action.
Mantis Warriors' warships roam the seas of stars, attacking the dens of traitors everywhere.
Blades and bombs were struck on the brains of the enemies of humanity, and blood debts were paid one after another.
These actions were accompanied by the Empire's hype of the victory.
"Under the wise leadership of the Jiedu Envoy, the Human Empire has won another victory"
"The despicable Red Pirates have been beaten to the point of no end, and now they are in a dilemma"
"The maelstrom opens a new chapter in history, and the little ones will have nothing to hide"
"The tyrant of Badab has not been seen for a long time, and it is suspected that he has quietly run away"
……
All sorts of outrageous news immediately spread in the maelstrom area.
Well, in fact, what has been beaten down is only a small and insignificant place, but Wei Mu's propaganda seems to be slightly exaggerated.
Public opinion offensives never go out of style.
While everyone doubts the veracity of these rumors, there is one thing that everyone can see.
That is, since the so-called Maelstrom Festival envoy took office, that kid has done all kinds of evil and nonsense on their territory, and the Red Pirates have not taken any countermeasures.
Not to mention that it was a hard hit, even if it was a targeted retaliatory attack, it was completely Wei Mu who rushed to wherever he went, he had to be beaten, and his behavior was extremely high-profile and completely unscrupulous.
The boy even threatened to give Huron a set of women's clothes as a humiliation.
Isn't this a clear indication that you don't take them seriously?
But why did the tyrant of Badab hesitate to do so?
Could it be that after such a long reign, Blackheart Huron has actually aged and lost his strength, as rumors say?
Chaos will never have mercy on the weak.
Even if there was once a brilliant feat, when the fangs were removed, the end would only be a stepping stone for others.
For such a situation, Huron felt quite a headache.
The Uyghur's attack did not bother him much.
That kid only operates in the central part of the Maelstrom, and the strongholds he destroys are not important strategic targets.
Those places are usually beaten by all kinds of bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods, such as the greenskins, dark spirits, mutants, or Heruds, and even normal phenomena, and the losses caused can only be regarded as scratched at best.
It's just that the overwhelming propaganda is really disgusting, and the empire didn't have such a strong means of disseminating information before.
Huron ordered a thorough investigation into the source of the rumors, and sure enough, traces of a suspected harlequin troupe were found.
They're working with Xenomorphs.
Obviously, he was pretending to be a human supremacist posture before, but now he doesn't even pretend to be.
Once again, the Empire has shown its hypocrisy.
It's just that the clowns in flowery clothes are haunted, and the Red Pirates' search and arrest operation has yielded nothing.
And even if you succeed in catching one or two by luck, you won't be able to solve the fundamental problem.
Huron didn't have a good way to deal with them.
Inside the palace of New Badab, the Red Pirates are having a heated discussion on the matter.
"We have to act, we can't let that kid continue to be so arrogant!" Several of the more radical members said loudly.
Even if they throw themselves into Chaos, these Space Marines still retain a little sense of honor.
In other words, they still have to show face when they walk the rivers and lakes, and they can't just be ridden on their heads.
"We're already on the move." Huron replied lightly.
In the intervening days, he had reached out to the rebellious Mechanic Sage and funded him.
Soul stones, he can get them through trading with the Dark Spirit Clan.
The living metal of the space necromancer requires him to plunder a certain catacombs.
And the army of greenskins who don't know why they started to riot.
Huron is dealing with these three things.
If the investment in Ronin is successful, then there will be a group of human necromantic forces that pose a threat to the Empire.
Moreover, the sage will also provide them with a variety of powerful weapons and equipment, and the transaction can be said to be very cost-effective.
"I know you're very angry about what that hairy boy did, but we've got to hold our breath. Don't let things that don't matter affect our judgment, that's what the enemy wants. And when we strike, we have to do it with one blow. ”
Huron carefully educated his subordinates and suppressed their discontent.
Wei Mu almost wrote "Come and beat me" on his face, and the target was obviously a trap.
But there are people who do not obey discipline and do not believe in evil.
"Oh no, my lord, those World Eaters attacked without permission, and they were surrounded by the lackeys of the Empire!"
An intelligence officer broke into the venue and shouted.
