Chapter 134: The Departure of the Second Expeditionary Force (Subscription Requested)

According to the regulations established when the Galactic Empire was founded.

The Imperial Council is the most powerful imperial body under the Holy Emperor.

It is responsible for the control, deployment, and governance of the entire empire.

Those who can participate in the parliament are the top figures in an important department of the empire.

They voted on various matters of the empire.

Abstaining, agreeing and disagreeing are possible.

If there is an abstention, resulting in a unanimous vote of disapproval and approval, it will be held on hold.

Wait for more information or for the promoters to prepare and debate again.

If a proposal is rejected, it cannot proceed to the implementation step and will be considered invalid, and it will take a certain amount of time before it can be reconsidered.

If a proposal is in favour, the implementation step begins, and the departments need to work closely together.

In a way, the Council holds the lifeblood of the Galactic Empire

Those people in the council will also be the brains of the Galactic Empire, responsible for coordinating the actions of various departments.

Everyone who can sit at that council table is, as the old saying goes, under one man, above ten thousand.

Their power and status will swell with the strength of the empire.

One day, they will even become supreme beings looking down on the entire galaxy.

Every word and deed will affect trillions of human beings.

Burning the stars and destroying the sea can be done in just one sentence.

The power is enough to shock the monarchs and ministers of the past and present.

The Parliament was the pinnacle of power that the citizens of the Empire could climb.

Further up are their insurmountable taboos.

As a member of the envoys of the Blackstone Chamber of Commerce, Bicona also received some preferential treatment.

She was granted access to the halls of the Parliament.

The council hall was set up in a separate building.

As the empire expands, each ministry will have its own separate mansion.

The number of government affairs that the department had to deal with increased as the empire expanded.

The computing matrix that needs enough computing power to assist your own department is too difficult to rely on manpower alone.

At this stage, each department uses the computing power provided by the computing matrix built under the parliamentary building.

It's a legacy of the Human Alliance, and it's very advanced.

But it was no longer possible to meet the needs of the various departments of the empire.

Fortunately, this was foreseen when planning the construction of Liberty City.

Sufficient redundancy is reserved.

For the future expansion of various departments.

The fact that the parliament is located in another building is a clear signal.

The Imperial Departments will slowly move out of the Parliamentary Building.

At the beginning, there were few people, but we were able to get together to do things and improve efficiency.

When there are too many people, we can only separate and pursue stability.

The council hall was built magnificently.

The whole body is made of fine marble.

Above the entrance gate, there is also a gold and atmospheric flame emblem.

The council hall covers a vast area.

In addition to the seats reserved for members of the Parliament.

Anyone with Imperial citizenship can enter behind the transparent promenade around the council hall to observe.

The true ruler of the Galactic Empire is only the Holy Emperor.

The rest are equal.

People have the right to listen to parliament and to monitor it.

The transparent promenade, which separates the council hall from the observers, is made of special glass so that there is no need to worry about security.

In addition, entering the halls of parliament also requires complex vetting, which eliminates the possibility of assassination of council members in the first place.

Guided by the two staff members, Bikona entered the Imperial Diet Hall.

This is the first time it has been opened to the public, and it has attracted many people.

Some of them are ordinary people.

They are not eligible to enter the Imperial Parliament Hall, but they can stand in the glass-separated corridors around the Imperial Parliament Hall.

The council hall is a structure resembling a round bowl.

The middlemost area belongs to the core members of the council.

There was a marble round table, around which the high-backed chairs of the council members were arranged at regular intervals.

The circle of seats around the high platform belonged to the secondary members of the council.

Their composition is complex and not fixed.

Probably envoys from other planets.

Or a representative of an industry.

They can sit in their seats and sit in and ask questions.

With permission, you can even give a speech to everyone, explaining your reasons and ideas.

But they do not have the power to participate in parliamentary voting.

All they have to do is give advice or give warnings.

The outermost areas are areas that ordinary people can observe.

At this time, it was also full of people.

There were quite a few people in the empire who were interested in politics.

There are also some followers who are ready to come and play a card and brag at night.

In addition, it was the first time that the Imperial Diet was opened.

It can also be regarded as a historic event.

This rare grand occasion will not be missed by many people.

This has led to the council hall being full of people.

Those who can't get in are out watching the big screen live.

When Bicona walked into the council hall, it was already full.

They were all arguing and talking, as a way to appear knowledgeable.

Use contempt, mockery, or cynicism to strike at your opponent to force them to back down or gain the upper hand in the conversation.

"Betelgeuse should take decisive measures to encourage private merchants to develop and the people of the empire to pioneer."

"This kind of thing can't be rushed, we need enough time to ensure that Betelgeuse has a hematopoietic mechanism and will not become a dumping ground for commodities, and it is a good thing to do a good job of evaluation before development. Let those private businessmen do it, they have to scrape the last copper plate, and then let those ignorant people owe a few lifetimes to pay off. ”

"Business is the best way to solve poverty, and throughout history, it is the development of business that can accumulate wealth."

"Weapons are also a good way to solve the poor population, do you want to use weapons to solve it."

"What you say is not the same thing as what I say."

"Isn't killing people with guns the same thing as killing people with the economy?? Or is it not murder if you are softer? Population is the foundation of the development of the empire, there is no population, only wealth, I am afraid that the Holy Emperor will pull us all to the street lamp and hang us. ”

"Let's refrain from it, judging from the report, the conquered galaxy has not built even the most basic industry, nor has it carried out basic education, let those merchants pass, and in two days we will be able to see the wildlings perform in the club. As long as there is a 300 percent interest, I don't think those people will take the law into account. ”

"You're prejudiced against the merchant community."

"It is better to believe in the merchant's discipline than to believe that I am the brother-in-law of the Holy Emperor."

"If your sister is a bar dancer, maybe she is."

"It's a pity that she was born at the wrong time."

The few people who were originally talking about business suddenly deviated from the topic because of a sudden gag, and they all laughed.

They don't mean anything disrespectful.

It's just a humorous joke.

The Empire did not hide the Holy Emperor's past.

Even the state church did not cover up this matter, but it gave a certain explanation for it.

The Divine Emperor is a god who walks the world.

Everything is done just to experience human emotions and to make wiser and more humanly choices.

Whenever people talk about this joke and the audience laughs, it often ends with the words of the missionary.

"He doesn't hate you because of your profession, and He doesn't like you because of your wealth. When you are lost, remember His teachings. When you don't know how to choose the future, stay religious. My fellow man, in His eyes, all beings are equal, and He sincerely blesses us and is with us. ”

"The Holy Emperor has taken the Moore System, where do you say the next world will be?"

"The commander of the White Qi Legion is about to set sail, and I hope the war will go well."

"The focus of the empire's development for a long time in the future is estimated to be in the field of military industry, you can pay more attention to this field, maybe you can find some opportunities for development."

"There's a bit of a miasma on the Ministry of Justice, and I've heard that some people are abusing their power for personal gain."

"A few days ago, the Demon Hunter Court was dispatched, and several Demon Hunters went to the North District, and that battle almost scared me. Later, I heard that someone secretly believed in something for the sake of stimulation, and it was found. ”

"I've heard that there are traces of cultists in the wilderness, and those guys don't know what the hell they're up to."

Bicona blended in with her own political savvy.

She always speaks like a spring breeze and has a very comfortable feeling.

People are happy to talk to her.

From the conversation, Bikona could easily get to the bottom of these people.

They are as immature as this nascent empire.

There is some immaturity for real politics.

But that's not to blame either.

Bicona learned about the founding of the Galactic Empire.

The former ruler core family has been slaughtered by the Holy Emperor.

The upper ones in the back are the original bottom layer or a small number of middle layers.

For the level to which they once belonged, it was normal for them to be immature and immature.

At a time when people are talking about it.

A loud bell rang in the hall.

The noise that had been loud became quiet.

People returned to their positions and looked at the high platform.

Wait until the bell is gone.

Several ministers and heads who were qualified to sit at the round table in parliament walked out with the support of their servants.

Bai Qi, who is known as a legendary hero.

Conscientious and tired, Juba fell.

Bright and melancholy, Batmos, who dominates imperial research.

Nanxi, who was blessed by the Holy Emperor.

Dressed in golden armor, he oversaw the Janissary of the Council as the Holy Emperor - Saladin.

Smiling, Royce grinning to the root of his ear.

The head of the Imperial Bank, Xuanyuan Wei.

Gaius, the current head of the Ministry of the Interior, and so on.

Each of them is in a high position of power, and holds an important lifeblood of the empire.

Under the watchful eye, they walked to the marble table on the high platform, to the center of power in the empire.

Royce was among them.

The smile on his face could no longer be hidden.

The corners of the mouth are raised.

There is quite an arrogance that treats the heroes of the world as nothing.

What a power.

Ruling the world, the galaxy is driven by me.

But that's not enough.

Royce vows that he will never rest on his laurels and will slowly climb the ladder.

Step by step to the top.

Run the entire parliament.

Become Lord Royce who is feared by everyone.

At that time, everyone in the entire galaxy was going to kneel in front of him.

Whoever obeys Tareus, Chang.

Whoever opposes Tharoys, the order of extermination is served.

Royce walked as he walked to the fine marble seat.

It was the seat that everyone longed to sit in.

It is the most powerful chair in the Galactic Empire other than the throne of the Holy Emperor.

The moment he walked to his seat, Royce felt the air he breathed was sweet.

People watched as the members of the council walked to their seats and began to read the oath

"I will give up my selfish interests, not for honor and disgrace, not for fame and fortune."

"I will abide by my duty and do my duty until I die."

"I give everything to men, without fear of darkness, without fear of the gods."

"I will follow the will of the Holy Emperor and fight for the interests of the human race until the last moment, even if I sacrifice my life."

"The oath has been made, and if it is violated, it will never be recovered."

Royce blended in with the crowd.

I also followed those people to recite the oath in a fake way.

Who cares.

He doesn't believe it!

Swear by useful words.

What else else do law enforcement officers do?

But soon, a disturbing scene happened.

As the oath fell, an eerie flame emblem appeared on the hands of those men.

The first one is white rising.

As a representative of the Ministry of Military Affairs, as soon as he finished reading it, he subconsciously let out a painful cold snort.

made the hearts of the people next to him tighten, thinking that something had happened.

Several of the guards activated the energy shield and walked quickly onto the high platform.

Bai Qi stretched out his hand to stop them and avoid causing chaos.

"I'm fine, it's a blessing."

He raised his hand.

Show the back of your hand to people who are panicking.

A circle of flames was seen on the back of the white hand, carving a golden flame emblem.

Vivid.

It's as if there's really a flame burning.

A divine aura emanates from the emblem.

This is the approval of the Holy Emperor.

It's also an alternative shelter.

With such a flame emblem on their bodies, no evil can harm them.

Then there was Nanxi, who had signed a pact with the Holy Emperor and was willing to give everything for him.

He is currently the head of the State Church and the founder of the Congregation of Sisters.

The flame emblem also appeared on the back of her hand.

Immediately after Gaius, Xuanyuan Wei and others also appeared.

Several of the people who took the parliamentary oath showed the same flame insignia.

The only exception is Royce.

He looked left and right at his palms and palms, and the flame emblem did not appear for a long time.

After waiting for a while, there was no movement.

All eyes were on Royce.

Taunts, surprises, sarcasm, curiosity, mockery, etc.

The discussion also slowly sounded.

"He can't be without the approval of the Holy Emperor, right?"

"Oh my God, what a shame it must be in front of the whole world."

"Didn't he come up legally? It's all here, why doesn't the Holy Emperor approve of it? ”

"You're stupid!! It is estimated that it is only by playing with means that he will be refused to be blessed by the Holy Emperor. ”

The discussion is getting louder.

The gazes of everyone at Royce became more and more subtle.

Boy!! The deception has been applied to the Holy Emperor.

Whoever can come here is not stupid.

When they thought about it, they knew that it was no accident that the flame emblem appeared on the back of the hands of those in the council.

The Holy Emperor appeared many times.

All in the form of flames.

The flame emblem is the mark of the Holy Emperor.

Appearing on the back of those people's hands means to be recognized and blessed.

And now, Royce didn't get the Flame Mark, what does that mean!!

Royce, who was happy and excited just now, is now flustered in his heart.

Didn't say this in the previous process??

I obviously got the recommendation of other big judges to get here!!

How could such a thing happen!!

"Could it be that someone cheated on himself?"

He looked at Bai Qi, Gaius and the others, and their faces were also dazed and confused.

It is not known why the flame emblem appeared.

Obviously, they don't know about this process either.

"I'm so devout to you, bless me."

"I'm so devout to you, bless me."

Royce's body trembled invisibly.

He raised his hand and swept away the cynical and contemptuous look he had just looked.

Word by word, reciting the oath reverently.

"I will give up my self-interest, not for honor and disgrace, not for fame and fortune. I will abide by my duty and do my duty until I die. I give everything to the human race, without fear of darkness, without fear of the gods. I will follow the will of the Holy Emperor and fight for the interests of the human race until the last moment, even if I sacrifice my life. ”

The voice fell.

The halls of the Parliament were silent.

No flames appeared.

The emblem also did not appear on the back of Royce's hand.

Royce panicked.

The majestic and shocking conspiracy of the past is now all gone.

In its place is fear.

Endless fear.

His mind went blank.

The mechanical auxiliary brains are in a state of downtime.

There must be something wrong somewhere.

There must be something wrong somewhere.

Royce said to himself like he was demented.

Bikona sighed lightly below.

My heart was full of jealousy for the Holy Emperor.

He is worthy of being the founder of the Holy Empire.

The other side has long had a plan for all kinds of chaos that might occur in the parliamentary system.

The Flame Emblem is an insurance policy.

It is the confidence of the Holy Emperor to dare to adopt the parliamentary system.

The Flame Emblem screens out those who don't qualify.

Even if they pass the departmental elections and go through the regular channels, it will not work.

The Galactic Empire's legal code makes it clear that the Holy Emperor has the right to overturn the decisions of the Council and even all organizations.

A man like Royce, who plays tricks, forms factions, and uses dirty means to make himself legally victorious, is categorically unrecognized.

Only council members who win departmental elections and have the Flame Emblem are truly recognized.

In this way, the purity of the parliament is guaranteed.

It ensures that every member of the council will act in the good of humanity as a whole.

Instead of becoming a spokesman for the forces of all sides.

Thus ensuring that parliamentarism does not become a source of imperial unrest and corruption in the empire.

This Royce, who came from the Department of Justice, is finished.

This is Bikona's most intuitive idea.

"I will."

He subconsciously spoke, wanting to make an oath again.

Maybe if you do it again, a miracle will happen.

"That's it, let's have a meeting first."

A weakened Juba spoke.

Royce's mouth was open, his face as dead as ashes.

The crowd sat down in their own chairs.

Royce didn't know how he got on it.

His whole head was buzzing.

At this moment, he seemed to return to his childhood, full of a child's helplessness.

He longed for the comfort of a hug.

This seat that he had dreamed of, and he had tried his best to get it.

Now it makes it difficult for him to sit still.

He was so stupid as to think that he could deceive the Holy Emperor, the man who had gone from nothing to single-handedly creating this great empire.

What was said in the second half of the meeting, Royce had no idea.

Even missed the historic moment of announcing the official opening of parliament.

His mind went blank the whole time.

In this moment, he finally realized the fear and despair of those enemies who had been the Holy Emperor.

You think you're incredibly smart

You feel like you're winning.

You feel like you can play with people's minds and control the course of events.

But when the final ending is revealed, you will find that the most tragic defeat awaits you.

It's so tragic that you won't be able to recover, and you won't even have a chance to turn over.

The Holy Emperor will not kill you directly.

It's about stripping away all the things you're proud of.

And then contemptuously say, is that all?

Not only will they kill you, but they will punish your heart.

Let you know how stupid you are in everything you do.

It's over.

Already a laughing stock in itself, it will surely become a classic textbook case of the empire.

It is used to warn those who are not right-minded, and only think about going crooked and playing tricks.

I don't know how long it took, but the meeting seemed to be over.

People got up and left.

They looked at Royce at the council table with pity.

An unlucky guy who is self-righteous, but ends up reaping the consequences.

"The Holy Emperor is admonishing us in this way." Bikona said to another member of the envoys, Nangong Quan: "Don't be delusional about making any small moves in his council!" ”

"I felt sorry for that unlucky bastard, who was whipped in public. If your mind is fragile, I'm afraid you're going to commit suicide. ”

Nangong Quan also lowered his voice.

"The Holy Emperor is only afraid that he has been paying attention to the side of Liberty City through some means all the time, but he is just silent. Be careful, and when you go back, you will also warn the major families not to play with their previous tricks, otherwise something big will happen at that time. ”

Bicona asked.

This incident also sounded the alarm bell for her.

It doesn't make sense to play that kind of power politics in the Holy Empire.

Maybe when, the Holy Emperor will come to the bottom of the kettle to draw salary, and the whole family will be in prison.

Royce didn't know how he got back to the mansion.

I don't know how I got into the sanctuary in the depths of the mansion.

When he came back to his senses, he found himself standing in front of the statue of the Holy Emperor.

All kinds of expensive treasures are piled up at the foot of the sculpture.

If others saw it, they would surely say that the owner of this temple was a devout believer.

Otherwise, how could such a precious jewel be used as a sacrifice and made so solemn.

Royce looked at the expressionless sculpture, laughed, and then burst into tears.

In the end, it fell into a hysterical collapse.

"Why??"

Royce cried out like a mad maniac.

The red eyes were full of hatred.

The devotion of ascetic asceticism is gone.

In its place is hatred, endless hatred.

He grabbed a precious vase and smashed it at the sculpture.

"Why do this to me? Am I so devout to you? Why? Tell me why? ”

"Why do this to me? I am so devout to you, and I practice penance every day, and I dedicate my precious jewels to you, why should I do this? ”

"Why? If you don't want me to get into that position, why don't you stop me? Why make me a laughing stock? To torture me and kill me in such a vicious way? ”

"I used to revere you so much, and regarded you as a god, and you treated me like this?"

The roar of madness echoed through the lavish mansion.

The servants were terrified.

They shivered and hid out of Royce's sight.

for fear that the other party will see them as an object of torture.

Royce kept venting.

Smash those precious works of art against the sculptures.

Until I was exhausted and I didn't have any more strength.

He was too tired to smash him, lying in a mess of ruins.

Curled up, crying helplessly like a child.

"I just want to get power, I just don't want to be bullied and exploited by others, what's wrong?"

Royce muttered to himself.

The whole person's mental state is a little abnormal.

Until someone from the Imperial Bureau of Integrity came in.

"Mr. Royce, you are suspected of violating the rules of the Empire, forming a party for personal gain, and obstructing the justice of the Empire, please come with me."

The integrity bureau official took a look at the damaged statue of the Holy Emperor.

"One more thing, maliciously destroying the sculpture of the Holy Emperor. Looks like you're going to have to mine for the rest of your life, Mr. Royce. ”

Royce's face was as dead as ashes.

Just slumped there like that.

Let the people of the Integrity Bureau carry him away.

Royce was arrested and investigated.

An unprecedented storm is blowing in the Empire.

The Bureau of Integrity (ICAC) began to arrest relevant offenders on a large scale.

Five of the nine chief judges of the Ministry of Justice were arrested at once.

Mid-level officials were also taken away in droves.

The Ministry of Justice was almost paralyzed, and there were too many arrests.

Li Si and others were forced to take on more tasks, playing doping and spinning on a continuous basis, while at the same time promoting those newcomers and replenishing the manpower.

Efforts have been made to maintain the normal functioning of the Ministry of Justice.

Not only the Ministry of Justice was targeted, but a large number of private businessmen who tried to get closer to Royce and formed a force were also arrested.

All of them are people with a certain status and status.

Some people resisted law enforcement and were killed with a single shot.

There are also people whose faces are as dead as ashes, and they are taken away directly, leaving behind their wives and children who are terrified.

Even Lees's subordinate, Nichol, was investigated.

He has nothing to do with the Royce case.

However, the Imperial Integrity Bureau still found out that there was collusion between him and the businessman, and he was also taken away for examination.

This storm did not just involve the Ministry of Justice.

There are also many people in other departments who have been found to have problems.

The number of officials implicated has reached tens of thousands.

It can be called a bone scraping and healing.

Because the Ministry of Justice is the source, people call this incident the Great Judicial Reckoning.

Those who are arrested will naturally not end up being sent to a special prison to drink tea and retire.

Instead, all property was confiscated, and the current position was repossessed, and finally sent to mine.

It's also an alternative kind of waste utilization.

Li Si, who was in the storm, was terrified when he saw it.

There were times when he almost wanted to go along with it.

After all, everyone does that, and if you don't do that, it seems a little unsociable.

After seeing Royce's successful ascension, Lees's psychological defense line has actually been breached.

He was planning for Nichole to find those people to get together, make friends, and discuss the future.

Who would have thought that the Empire's anti-corruption campaign would come so quickly.

Nine Grand Inquisitors, one of the most powerful men in the Empire.

Five were gone overnight.

What a concept this is!!

The Imperial Bureau of Integrity is like a little mascot on weekdays.

Many people have forgotten that this department is on an equal footing with the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of the Interior.

Now as soon as it is shot, it is the momentum of thunder.

Many officials were so frightened that they turned pale when they saw the people in the Bureau.

It is said that the mine that makes you dig for a lifetime is a lifetime.

Whoever dares to protect you will be sent in one piece.

The turmoil caused by the judicial liquidation lasted for two or three months.

It was only after the Ministry of Justice replenished new blood and resumed normal operation that the turmoil slowly subsided.

The situation has gradually stabilized.

The Empire did not stop because of this great reckoning.

The date of the departure of the Second Expeditionary Force was set.

All departments are in full swing to prepare.

Restoration work on the month of war is still ongoing, and there is no ability to sail far.

The Second Expeditionary Force could only use the battleships captured in the Second Campaign against the Sith Empire as flagships.

And with two cruisers and a part of the frigates, as well as civilian transport ships.

The Second Expeditionary Force's expedition plan is to first go to the outer galaxy of the Blackstone Trades to meet with the Imperial supporters led by the Andraus, and then go to deal with the opposition of the Blackstone Traders.

After the opposition is settled, Bai Qi will recruit a part of the warships of the Blackstone United Trade Chamber to go to conquer the Sith Empire.

Airport terminal platform.

The flow of people here is increasing day by day.

There are people from various organizations and departments, from the lowest to the most prominent, pushing and arguing with each other for space.

Rumbling giant booms lift heavy containers of supplies and ammunition and place them onto anti-gravity transport platforms for the pilot to be transported to the battleship's cargo hold.

Huge wagons carry slender missiles.

As the driver drove, he greeted his fellow Empire colleagues who didn't walk long.

With two mechanical arms and a cockpit covered by spherical glass, the maintenance machine roared through the sky.

They flashed red warning lights and screeched sounds, urging people and machinery along their path to give way to them for urgent repairs.

The conscripted soldiers lined up in a neat queue, got on the cart and were sent to the battleship.

The entire platform is full of hot sights.

People were busy, making final preparations for the Second Expeditionary Army.

A transport plane took off from the surface, leaving behind a white trail and finally jumping out of the atmosphere.

Fly towards the airport and slowly land on the apron of the airport like other aircraft.

The exhaust port emits the accumulated exhaust gases and stirs up the tarmac dust.

Before the hatch that had condensed in space could melt, it slowly opened to both sides with the hissing of the hydraulics.

Dante stepped out of the cabin.

At this time, he was already a handsome white-haired young man.

Around his waist hangs the Enma Blade, crafted by the Holy Emperor himself.

On the other side hung a silver pistol.

Forged from ancient technology collected by the Empire.

Able to annihilate the souls and spiritual projections of the enemy in the realm of the Most High Heaven.

The soulless aura on his body was getting stronger and stronger.

The weak demon could not remain intact in front of him.

People also subconsciously stayed away from him.

As Dante walked past them, an unspeakable force seized them and instilled fear and insecurity in them.

Ignoring those who were afraid, Dante went straight through the crowd to the flagship of the Second Expeditionary Force - War and Peace.

The name of the flagship was taken from white.

It is also said that I saw it in a book.

Bai Qi has studied ancient human books.

The name was taken from ancient books by himself.

The flagship name was also rummaged through ancient books.

Dante doesn't think he's a learner, and he gets a headache when he sees a book.

Usually, when I read the subspace books left by Mr. Xu Fu, it already killed him.

If you look at anything else, he really can't stand it.

The massive bridge resembles a giant beast hovering over the dock harbor.

The closer you get, the more you can feel your own insignificance.

The battleship is like a steel mountain several kilometers high, standing in front of people.

Looking up, you can see the glittering turrets and detection towers.

The supply ships and workboats surround the massive hull and feed and care for a bloated queen bee like a worker bee.

It's a mechanical power that belongs to humanity, enough to make the stars tremble.

Dante stepped on a small hovering pedal and quickly skimmed through the crowd to a ladder.

Rows of Imperial soldiers were walking up the stairs a few hundred meters.

They were neat and orderly, with excitement on their faces.

Walking towards the vast void certainly gives people a sense of parting pain, but also a joy of running to freedom.

From the moment they walk up the ladder, they feel a sense of belonging to the vast void.

"Please stop and show your identification."

One of the guards saw Dante coming.

He had a brand new laser gun in his hand, muzzle down, and his hand on the trigger.

As soon as they see something wrong, they will raise their guns and shoot.

Dante's breath made him uncomfortable.

There is a feeling of being watched by predators.

Dante has no intention of clashing with the other party.

"I'm the head of the Demon Hunting Court, Dante, please inform the Lord of the Second Legion, Bai Qi, I have something to look for him. This is my biological seal, please verify. ”

Dante held out a hand and showed a holographic identification for the guards to inspect.

An officer saw the situation and walked over.

As he approached Dante, his face showed discomfort.

"It turned out to be Mistress Dante." After the officer finished speaking to Dante with a smile, he turned to the soldier and said in an unquestioning tone: "Leave the matter here to me, and you continue to maintain order." ”

"Understood." The guard glanced at Dante and walked back to his post.

"The Lord of the Second Legion has already said that you might come, so let's be on the lookout. Please come with me this way, they are still recruits, and they can't stand the breath of the soulless on the adults. “

Dante nodded, and followed the officer up another ladder.

The War and Mir was as large as the other battleships, with intricate passages and holds.

The tracks of the military train, laid in the hull of more than 20 kilometers, are the main arteries for the transportation of supplies.

It carries tanks, mechs, attack planes, weapons, armor, and more.

Imperial soldiers were also stuffed into trains for transportation.

Every few minutes, sirens sound at those stations.

The fully laden train hissed and slowly drove away.

Empty new trains enter the station and stop next to the platform.

The stevedores continued with the previous train.

Stuff people and supplies into the cabin and get them where they need to go.

Personnel fitted with assistive brains and mechanical prosthetics appear to be unusually tired.

Every soldier, every bullet should be where they are supposed to be.

It is not an easy task to coordinate such a large amount of material and personnel movements.

Even with the help of the arithmetic matrix, they were tired enough.

The soldiers of the Second Legion, dressed in heavy power armor, stood at various posts.

Combat drones exclusive to them hovered behind them.

They watched every human entering the ship, assessing the threat they might pose.

As soon as something goes wrong, they strike with a thunderbolt to deal with anyone who might threaten the expedition.

Dante meanders through the crowd under the guidance of an officer.

Huge exhaust vents roar overhead, sucking the turbid air away and releasing the pure air in.

Once you enter the vast void, all life-sustaining resources such as air and water on the battleship are recycled, and can be maintained for a long time without relying on external support.

Dante followed the officer all the way.

Passed the chapel dedicated to the Holy Emperor set up inside the battleship, walked past the door of the huge warehouse, and passed through the bustling and noisy hall of soldiers' activities.

Finally, I took the elevator to the strategic command room on the top floor.

After passing the identity check, the heavy alloy hatch slowly opened, revealing the scenery inside.

Mechanical cherubs fly in the air with wings waving.

The information windows move as the staff moves.

Projections of the entire fleet are suspended on shiny metal platforms.

The strategy room has a large observation window in the direction of the void.

You can clearly see the ships spewing light on the tail and the workers driving the maintenance machines.

As Dante approached, Bai Qi raised his head and put down his work.

"You're here."

Dante nodded and said, "Yes, you're going on a journey, I'm here to give you a ride." This expedition, I don't know when we will be able to meet again!! It is estimated that it will be more than ten years later, and if it is unlucky, it is not impossible to do it for decades. ”

The Milky Way is too vast.

And there's so much they have to do.

It's not just that Bai Qi has to go on the expedition, but after the training system for witchers is officially established, Dante will also go out.

After all, the territory of the empire is not only the Xuanyuan Fourteen Galaxy, those galaxies that have just been conquered also need the purge of the Demon Hunters, and the establishment of the Demon Hunter Academy.

"There's no need to be so sad, maybe we'll meet in the stars that day."

"I hope so." Dante walked to Bai Qi's side, hesitated for a moment, and reached out to hug Bai Qi, "I wish you all the best, Brother Bai Qi." ”

When they were rescued by the Holy Emperor and just sent to the base, they were led by Bai Qi.

Bai Qi is a psyker, but he stays with a bunch of soulless people.

Undoubtedly a great torture.

But Bai Qi still took good care of them.

An independent training ground was fought for them.

They were also defended many times, so that they received the respect they deserved.

In the back, Bai Qi almost dried up his soul because he had been with them for a long time.

The Holy Emperor had no choice but to transfer him and make Dante the head of the witcher.

Bai Qi was stunned for a moment.

He patted Dante's demon hunting armor and laughed rarely.

"Do things well, remember not to be impulsive when you encounter problems, and find support if you can."

Dante let go of the white rise.

He knows his power.

If you get too close to Shiraki, it will be a heavy burden for the other party.

"I will, Brother Bai Qi, you have to have more eyes. Although the Blackstone Chamber of Commerce has signed an agreement, there is no binding agreement, it is just paper in the toilet. ”

"I know." Bai Qi said: "Dante, I can't say anything nice. Hopefully, one day, we will meet again under the stars instead of mourning at each other's tombstones. ”
