After some preparations, the parade begins, and the world of the Mantis Warriors, the world of Odeka, is gradually staged.

The main road used for the parade stretches for more than 20 kilometers, and the destination leads directly to the governor's palace, and the entire road has long been emptied by the relevant personnel, and the two sides have been completely blocked by the separation zone.

Countless Imperial citizens came to the sides of the road early to grab a viewing spot, and the windows of nearby houses were also crowded with curious onlookers—it was probably the most gorgeous celebration they had ever experienced in their lives, so their emotions were extremely high.

The parade consisted mainly of thousands of vehicles, with three Riemann Ruth tanks at the forefront.

Powerful war machines crushed the road, engines continued to roar muffled, and even the streets trembled slightly everywhere they went.

Behind the tank is Wei Mu's car, a tall, heavy, specially modified mastodon super-heavy personnel carrier with a Void Shield that provides strong protection for its passengers.

This avoids the presence of dastardly assassins in the crowd, using strange and lethal weapons to make the parade mind-blowing.

Wei Mu himself stood on the lid of the troop carrier, only the upper half of his body exposed, and used the smile skills he learned from the clowns in flowery clothes to constantly greet the crowds on both sides of the road.

He had to stay in this state for more than an hour until the whole parade was over.

Wei Mu was skeptical that his facial muscles would be able to hold on until that time.

On either side of his head, a swarm of drones was constantly throwing flower petals and streamers, playing all sorts of hymns of praise - the people in the Administration Department had originally intended for the Wise Angel, a kind of servant who had been molded into a distorted child, to do this, but was sternly rejected by the Wei Mu.

Of course he had to refuse, a wise angel was not something that a person in his right mind could make.

It is the product of absolute religious fanaticism.

The group of mechanical sages only subjectively believed that the appearance of human children could appear more pure in the eyes of the emperor, so they used biotechnology and machinery to mix into such a netherworld thing, as an assistant to assist people in various tasks.

The cold metal structure was embedded in the childlike body, wires and pipes weaving back and forth across the pale skin.

There are also traces of iron nails that have been driven into them and various needles and threads.

All of this makes the Angel of Wisdom feel like a real newborn who has undergone a terrible transformation, and it can't help but feel creepy.

In order to retain this so-called pure shape, the work efficiency of the wise angel is therefore very low, after all, the body of a child is not suitable for work at all.

But apparently, fanatical religious worship prevailed.

With the blessing of so-called "faith", the image of the wise angel has become ingrained and has become a popular product of the empire, and their figure can be seen almost everywhere in every department.

"To oppose the wise angel is to oppose the emperor, and to subtly distort our faith!"

If the fanatics make a fuss, they won't reason with you at all.

In order not to make things bigger, Wei Mu can only refuse at best.

The ban on those things at the parade was already the result of his battle of wits with a large group of people.

The group even wanted to add some light and shadow effects to Wei Mu to show the sacredness of the emperor's loyal servants, but in the end, Wei Mu rejected it again with the idea that "it is more inspiring to accomplish great feats in a mortal body".

Sooner or later, the virtue of the state religion will have to be cleaned up.

It's just that the time is not yet ripe, and the empire still needs to drink the poison of religion to quench its thirst.

No way, try your best.

Wei Mu tried to put on an encouraging posture in front of everyone.

But he was only one person after all, and his figure quickly rushed in front of the people.

He was followed by many soldiers who had participated in the Maelstrom Expedition.

These soldiers were carefully selected from various units, and they made great contributions in the course of the expedition, and all of them can be called combat heroes, and they deserve to be praised and loved by the people.

The drone swarm whizzed over the heads of the crowd, and the badges and flags of the participating units hung below, and the long curtain was connected to look like a city wall.

Such a majestic army is placed in front of the people, which is to strengthen the impression that the empire can completely defeat those bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods in the galaxy, whether it is past, present, or future, the fate of the enemies of mankind will inevitably usher in destruction.

Due to the large number of people and the size of the procession, the whole procession was stretched for a long time, and the follow-up procession was still advancing, and the first part had already reached the Doge's Palace.

Wei Mu, who had completed the parade, jumped out of the car, and the muscles on his face felt a little sore from the long-term tension.

He can take a break backstage and wait until the parade is all over before giving a global speech.

Speeches are a must, and as the envoy of the Maelstrom Festival, he has to say a few words in public, even if all he has to say is to look back on the past, affirm his achievements, and imagine the future.

"So what's going on now?"

Not daring to rub his cheeks with his hands, lest he make up his makeup, Wei Mu asked for a glass of water from the inquisitor to moisten his throat, and asked the other party about the progress of the entire celebration by the way.

"It's okay." Quinn waved his hand, the expression on his face slightly relaxed, "So far, there have only been more than a hundred and thirty riots, most of them are cultists who want to make a name for themselves in the celebration, and a small number of them are antisocial elements who have not lived a satisfactory life - the organized large-scale operation has basically been eliminated by us before, and these individual behaviors who want to do things with a pat on the thigh are not to be feared at all." ”

Although the court sometimes behaves very magically, its ability to do things is not real.

They even have a set of algorithms to detect those who may have bad intentions, and the targets picked out by the algorithm will be cross-examined, and the results are often indistinguishable.

"Really?" Wei Mu touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "I'm actually curious about how high the bounty price Chaos has offered me. ”

"They don't need to make a clear price, dear Jiedu envoys, they just need to show interest in you, and the cultists will come to you in their name." Sarkozy, who was on the side, leaned over and explained, "So as long as you go out in public, you have to pay attention to your own safety." ”

The real tricky thing about chaos is that it corrodes people's hearts, and their strong combat power is a secondary factor.

Even ordinary celebrity idols, after becoming famous, have to live carefully every time they go to the street, for fear that they will cause riots because of their fame.

Wei Mu is definitely more attractive to cultists than superstars in the eyes of star chasers.

"Regarding the cultists, if you talk about it in more detail, it is that there are a lot of abusive believers, basically they are carrying two watermelon knives and want to cut down the entire procession, and there are also many Nurgle believers, who want to take advantage of the large-scale gathering of the crowd to release the pathogens they carry, and the actions of the remaining two have not yet been discovered." Quinn reminded again.

"I don't think Tzeentch and Slaanesh will be kind enough to let me go, they must still be in the shadows somewhere, after all, the celebration has just begun." Wei Mu lowered his head and thought.

"I can't say anything about Tzeentch, but as for Slaanesh, you have to be careful at the banquet." Quinn reminded earnestly.

"What's wrong with the banquet? Is there something wrong with those who go to the feast? Wei Mu frowned.

Remember that one of the powers of Slaanesh was gluttony.

It is unforgivable to dare to disturb him to eat.

"You'll know when the time comes." Quinn didn't answer directly.

Looking at the situation, it seems that there is another riot below.

After confirming the safety of the vicar, the Inquisitor left the rear of the Governor's Palace and resumed his vigilance.
