Chapter 218: First Glimpse of the Empire, Dantes' Shock (Subscription Requested)
Dantes looked at the self-deprecating Manfrey in front of him, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
He could see the sincerity in the other party's eyes.
The other party did not deceive him.
"But you can obviously manipulate such a powerful steel bird, and you can kill those cultivators in an instant, how can those powerful cultivators still be a nobody."
One of the cultists spoke, shaking his head a few times, his words full of disbelief.
An ordinary person with such a powerful magic weapon!!
This is not in line with common sense.
"You have such a misunderstanding because you don't know anything about the power of the God Emperor." Manfrey's face was reverent, "For you, the world is all there is. But for the Empire, this is just one of countless battlefields. The Kra parasite, which seems to you to be extremely powerful, is nothing more than a race on the verge of destruction. Among the stars, the Imperial Expeditionary Force conquers many of these worlds every day, putting them back under human control. In such a grand undertaking, people like me are not worth mentioning at all. Even you, the followers of the God Emperor Salvation Sect, are all over every planet, assisting the expeditionary force to quickly conquer the local area and win the hearts and minds of the people. ”
What Manfrey said made Dantes feel a little depressed in his heart.
He thought he was a special being, but now it seems that he is not special.
In the great cause of the God Emperor, there are countless people like him, or even better than him.
Several others fell silent.
They couldn't imagine what kind of great cause the God Emperor was promoting.
No world can satisfy Him, and all the stars in the sky will be in his pocket.
The world is too crazy.
"I will fight for you to meet the top of the expeditionary force, if you have the opportunity, maybe you can meet Captain Wang Ben, this is the limit of my ability."
Manfrey looked at Dantez and the others, and his tone was very sincere.
For a driver like him, being able to meet the corps commander is already the limit.
Dantes nodded, "Alright then, we'll take you to the nearest city." But your outfit is too conspicuous and needs to be changed. Otherwise, if you go out, you will soon be discovered by the enemy's eyeliner. ”
"You are locals, listen to you."
Manfrey spoke cheerfully, knowing his current situation, and he didn't look down on these natives who knew nothing about the Empire.
Not to mention anything else, people can get the enlightenment of the God Emperor, which has already killed many people in seconds.
Manfrey was born in the Empire, but he was never enlightened.
He changed into the clothes that Dantès and the others had given him, packed his clothes, and handed them to Dantes.
"That's a nice thing."
Manfrey looked at the uniform that had disappeared from Dantes' hands, and his tone was a little surprised.
"Don't you need this?" Dantes stroked his skull-style fingers, although space magic weapons are rare, as long as they have a little means and identity, they can still be obtained.
"I'm not a psyker, and the Empire's laws are very strict, so I won't allow people to use seals casually. Avoid destruction and weaken the Veil, leading to another round of subspace invasions. ”
Manfrey shook his head.
Seals have certain side effects.
The empire allows only those who pass the assessment to use it.
Dantes chose a direction, and by following it, they reached the nearest city, which was populated.
It was a big city, and if Manfrey hadn't told a story, the Empire would have sent someone there.
The demons hid in the shadows, watching them leave, and did nothing but make strange babbles.
Dantes and the others have a lot of seals in their hands, and their strength is so strong that even if they are evil, it is difficult to get any benefits from them.
"Can you tell us about the Empire? We don't know anything about it. ”
Out of the jungle, Dantez looked at Manfrey.
"It's a small thing."
After leaving that ghost place, Manfrey's mood was noticeably lighter.
Without the slightest concealment, he answered all the inquiries of Dantès and others.
They chatted as they walked towards their goal.
"No recognition of inheritance?" Dantes' tone was filled with consternation when he heard that the empire was being punished for leaving his wealth to future generations.
It is a matter of course for the father and the son to inherit the business, why should they be punished here in the empire?
"This kind of thing can see the great courage of the God Emperor, if the inheritance of the father and son is retained as always, it will not be long before the empire will repeat the predicament of the former human alliance, the gap between the rich and the poor is too large, and the high-level positions are solidified, which will lead to the loss of vitality of society."
Manfrey was originally at the bottom, so he naturally knew who would ultimately benefit from the father's business.
No one is bad for him, no one knows how to drill camp and calculate,
The only thing that will be done is to conscientiously do the work at hand and show loyalty to the God Emperor.
Someone like him can easily lose out in the competition.
If the inheritance system is still in place, the probability of failure for future generations will become higher and higher after he loses the competition.
With the accumulation of their parents, they can continue to try and make mistakes.
And a person like him can only accumulate capital by himself, and after failing once, he can no longer stand up.
The abolition of inheritance is the greatest gift to the middle and bottom classes.
Let everyone be born with the opportunity to go to the top of wealth and power.
Manfrey naturally raised his hands and feet to support it, after all, people like him are the biggest beneficiaries of this system.
The abolition of the inheritance system is also an important part of the equality of human beings.
The wealth recovered also has a clear distribution.
A large part of this is the expenditure for the living, education, medical and other expenses of the school-age children.
After each child is separated from the mother's body, he is an independent living being.
The Imperial Government would allocate funds every month to meet their daily needs.
Children do not need to be dependent on the substances given by their parents.
The only thing parents can give their children is love.
If they can't even give love, the child won't give them anything back.
This eliminates most cases of abuse and indirectly protects the human dignity of children and allows them to grow up healthy.
Manfrey was also a beneficiary of this system, and his schooling and daily living expenses were provided by the Imperial Government before he could afford to earn money.
He lives under a fair system.
This system is about ability, and about the law of the jungle, not other messy things.
Wealth and power belong to the truly powerful.
And not those wastes who rely on their fathers to barely get to the top.
Dantes looked at Manfrey, the other party was accustomed to such a system, and even proud, and he was a little surprised in his heart.
Will there really be people in this world who accept that the family business they have worked so hard for all their lives will be taken away after death, and their children and grandchildren will have to start over?
"This is a symbol of progress and a cross-generational initiative, and this system will help humanity to rule the galaxy in peace and security for a long time. One thing must be clear to all human beings is that we are a cooperative race, that no one can win alone, and that power and wealth can only be given to the most powerful. ”
Manfrey added.
Dantes didn't speak again, he still had some self-knowledge.
The Divine Emperor was able to formulate such a policy, which must have been well thought out.
It's not something like him that a small character can judge.
The group chatted very engagedly, and before they knew it, they had arrived at their destination.
Magnificent cities rise from the plains.
The surface of the towering walls is covered with obscure runes.
Some mortal soldiers, armed with weapons, patrolled the city walls.
Occasionally, you can see a few practitioners, wielding magic weapons or flying with wings.
"Once you're in town, be careful." Dantes whispered, "This is a treasure that can hide its true appearance, you take it." ”
Manfrey took what Dantes had in his hands.
It was a small sculpture with an infinite number of heads.
As he held it, Manfrey could clearly hear a muffled murmur in his ear.
Psionic sluggishness is also beneficial, and the effects of polluted whispering are greatly reduced.
The soldiers defending the city didn't notice anything unusual and let them in.
The city was already in a state of panic, and people were full of people with uneasy faces.
With such a big movement, these ordinary people know what is going on, even if they are dull.
The immortals are fighting the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons.
What's worse is that the immortals are losing this war.
"I've heard that those devils ate two hundred babies in one night."
"It's over, where else can we run?"
"Unprecedented calamity, do we still have hope??"
"The one in my family was chosen by the Xianmen, but in this world, cultivation may not be able to save your life."
“.”
Everyone is talking about this war.
The battlefield is spreading all over the world, and even if people want to flee, they don't know where to flee.
The only thing that can be done is to try to maintain the illusion of the old life.
Manfrey walks into the city, which is one of the few experiences.
Previously, he would only enter cities where the Empire had been rendered harmless.
Now, however, he entered a city that was still under the control of the enemy.
His first impression was that productivity was backward and the environment was dirty, followed by disgrace and anger.
The world can really be described as uncivilized.
The people who live here still worship human sacrifice as humans in ancient times, treating some of their fellow people as slaves, beating and even killing them at will.
"Immortal Master."
Several women holding their babies kowtow to a practitioner.
Their faces were unusually religious, as if they were doing something great and holy.
The practitioner picked up her child from a woman's arms.
Stretched out his tongue and licked the child's body a few times, and then in front of the public, slit his throat, crushed it with spiritual energy, and then appeared out of thin air, refining it into flesh and blood pills to swallow.
The woman didn't look sad at all, but her face was still happy, and she knelt down to the cultivator vigorously.
Especially when the other party gave her a pill, she was even more grateful.
I can't wait to give birth to a few more, and then give each other alchemy.
There were also slaves who were dragged out into the streets for disobedience to their master's house, put in cages full of iron thorns, and then shook the cage so constantly that the slave was covered in blood and screamed.
This scene made Manfrey's hatred for the Kra parasite even stronger.
They fooled these innocent people and made them look like this.
"It's just a small scene." Seeing the horror and anger on Manfrey's face, Dantes whispered to him, "If you've been to those sects, it's terrifying. ”
Manfrey looked at Dantez and shuddered involuntarily.
This is still a small scene, what kind of demon caves those sects must be.
He didn't want to think about it, he only hoped that the expeditionary force would quickly win this battle and destroy this terrible hell.
Under Dantes' protection, Manfrey took up residence in the city.
Some of the God-Emperor Salvationists who operate in seclusion also sometimes find a way to meet Manfrey, hoping to learn the details of the God-Emperor Heavenly Kingdom from him.
Hearing that everyone is equal, that there is no hunger or cold, that everyone has the opportunity to travel to the stars, and so on, many believers yearn for the expeditionary force to immediately defeat the enemy.
Under the protection of these cultists, Manfrey was okay, but the atrocities that happened outside broke his heart.
Those are all human beings, people of the same blood, the same genes.
But it was fooled and harvested by the carat parasite as a captive livestock.
As time passed, bad news continued to come, which sect was destroyed and which strong man was killed.
The battle in the sky also slowly subsided, and the cultivators became fewer and fewer, and those steel birds appeared more and more often.
Manfrey judged the battle from the news.
There is no doubt that the Empire is triumphant, and the airspace has been completely controlled.
And the cultivators of this city quickly realized that the situation was not right.
They chose to evacuate and planned to flee to a larger sect.
The war of the immortals also frightened those ordinary people, and the bad news stirred their nerves all the time.
Fooled by the Kra parasite, they knew nothing about the Galactic Empire, only that those enemies were extraterritorial demons, the most cruel and terrifying monsters in this world.
Those demons came here only to kill and destroy, and even if they died, their souls would be taken away by those demons, and they would never be reborn.
Under such circumstances, as soon as ordinary people heard that those cultivators were leaving, they cried and begged one by one, hoping to be able to evacuate with those cultivators.
Those practitioners showed great righteousness and made promises.
Don't give up on anyone, take them with you.
Several evacuation points were quickly formed, and a large number of magic weapons landed in the city, constantly taking off to take those people away.
Manfrey watched as the ignorant lined up into the cultivator's ark.
This made him quite helpless, and all kinds of information from the empire had already told what a terrible race the carat parasites were.
They treat humans as sacrifices.
For tens of thousands of years, sacrifices and slaughters have been continuous.
Now that the empire has been defeated and retreated, how can those carat parasites care about the life and death of ordinary people!!
The reason for the willingness to take those people is nothing more than to reserve resources for emergency use.
Manfrey knew this, but he couldn't do anything.
He's just an ordinary person, and without a fighter, those carat parasites can pinch him with a single finger.
The people who lined up to leave crowded around the giant flying boats provided by the cultivators.
Fear makes them lose their minds and grasp a straw like a man in the water.
The black-pressed crowd surrounded the flying boat, trying to climb up.
And some powerful and powerful families are also in the vicinity of the flying boat.
When a flying boat lands and lowers the gangway for people to go up and down.
These powerful men let their thugs rush forward.
The Zhou family is one of them.
Their family has given birth to many cultivators, and they hold secular power, so they can be regarded as a wealthy family with a great reputation.
The thugs of his house punched and kicked along the way, leaving behind a large number of people wailing and screaming.
Forced to be born in a crowded environment, a way was opened.
The eldest prince of the Zhou family and his family, under the protection of the thugs, walked towards the flying boat.
A civilian seized the gap, bypassed the thugs, and ran towards the flying boat.
As a result, he grabbed him and slapped the civilian in the face directly, shouting angrily, "Get out of the way, or labor and management will kill you." ”
His voice shook everyone and made them subconsciously retreat.
The Zhou family is one of the best families, let alone paying for the death of a person, and not asking the victim's family for compensation is already magnanimous.
After all, if the deceased hadn't provoked the Zhou family, people wouldn't have wasted time killing him.
Shouldn't you waste the Zhou family's time and lose money?
The eldest prince of the Zhou family swept over the crowd who dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and a trace of sarcasm appeared on the corner of his mouth.
A group of waste, the Zhou family wants to ride on the necks of these people for generations, and when they are cattle and horses, they don't even have the courage to hate behind their backs.
"What stinky fish and rotten shrimp deserve to compete with me for a position, all roll, otherwise your legs will be broken."
As soon as the voice of the eldest prince of the Zhou family fell, a scream sounded in the crowd.
Someone pointed to the sky and shouted.
"The monsters are coming."
If you look in the direction the man shouted, you can see the steel birds rushing towards them with their flaming tails in tow.
This scene frightened all the cultivators dumbfounded.
They fled in a hurry with their flying magic weapons.
Grand Prince Zhou and his men also walked briskly to the cabin, kicking down a few untouchables who were still climbing up.
"Wait for death." Grand Master Zhou said coldly.
The flying boat set sail and rushed into the distance, and the air was sonic boom because of its super speed, and quickly disappeared into the sky.
"What a good guy." Manfrey, who had been following the evacuation, saw this scene from a distance and felt a little emotional.
The gentleman who kicked people was either mashed by the carat parasite and used as medicine, or his throat was cut and slaughtered like a chicken and duck, and used as a blood sacrifice.
I hope that when his throat is cut, he will not regret that he used all means to get on this flying boat that sent him to hell today.
Those steel birds destroyed several flying boats that failed to take off in time, and several cultivators who resisted were also shattered.
After seeing the other flying boats flee, they did not pursue, but fell to the ground with a roar.
With the neighing of hydraulics, a heavily armed soldier in combat armor and combat uniform stepped out of the transport compartment.
There are also huge walking mechs, which also land with the soldiers.
The mech raised its massive cannon, alerted to possible danger, and at the same time emitted a loud horn sound, announcing the arrival of the Empire.
The flaming flag was planted in the landing area, fluttering in the wind.
The ordinary people were so frightened that they all fled back to their homes.
Manfrey calmed Dantes and the others for a moment, and then ran to the landing Imperial army in full view.
The swarm of drones hovering in the air instantly caught the anomaly, pointed the gun at him, and informed the ground forces of the intelligence.
"Stop moving." Several soldiers raised their guns and shouted at Manfrey as he ran.
The muzzles of their guns flashed with an arc of light, and as soon as they pulled the trigger, the beam would shoot out, killing him.
"Don't shoot, I'm Manfrey, the pilot of the 3254th Flying Squadron, because the fighter engine was destroyed by the enemy's strange means, and I had to be forced to jump out of the plane." Manfrey shouted.
Hearing this, the soldiers pointed their guns to the ground and opened the masks of their battle armor.
"You're a pilot of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, why are you wearing the clothes of the locals?"
"In order not to be obtrusive." Manfrey raised his hands and said, "I got help from the Salvationists of the God Emperor, and they gave me this outfit. ”
The movement here quickly attracted attention.
A tall officer walked over.
He glanced at Manfrey, who had some mechanical implants on his body, something that the native natives and carat parasites wouldn't have.
"Go check his identity and report to the 3254 Flight Squadron for inquiries." The officer said to the soldier next to him.
Manfrey's identity was quickly verified.
After confirming that there was no problem, the soldiers disarmed him and allowed him to enter the landing area.
"Come here, it's okay." Manfrey shouted in the direction where Dantez and the others were hiding.
After confirming that there was no danger, Dantez and the others came out from behind the dilapidated house.
They walked under the officer's wary gaze.
At this time, another transport boat roared to the ground.
When the hatch opened, a team of psykers stepped out of the cabin with mechanical scepters in hand and amplifiers.
As he walked by, Dantès could feel the extraordinary power in the psionic beings, each one stronger than them.
I didn't expect them to be part of the army.
How many such strong men are there under the command of the God Emperor!!
"Let's go, I'll take you to meet the top of the expeditionary force." Manfrey did not forget his promise that he would help the locals meet the upper echelons of the expeditionary force.
As for what level can be seen, it depends on the degree of attention paid by the expeditionary force to this matter.
With the help of the commander of the landing zone, Manfrey, Dantes and others were able to follow a transport boat back into low Earth orbit.
The roar sounded, and Dantès and the others grabbed the fixing ring in the cabin in fear.
It was a long time before they could get used to the take-off transport, and with Manfrey's encouragement, they looked out the observation window.
Dantes and the others saw everything on the ground quickly shrink, and then saw the transports fly over the clouds and into the void that only immortals could reach.
His eyes widened when the Imperial fleet appeared in front of him.
His companion had the same expression.
Magnificent warships floated in the void, taller and more majestic than the mountains.
As the transports approached, the more they were able to feel their own smallness and humility.
"Oh my God!! Such a big iron ship!! ”
Dantes looked through the observation window at the battleship only a few hundred meters away from the transport.
It is six kilometers long and more than 2,000 meters high, and stands on it a magnificent sculpture and an exaggerated cannon, and the golden bow angle of the ship shines brightly.
And such a warship is only an insignificant one in a huge group of ships.
Some are as long as a dozen kilometers, or even tens of kilometers.
These were nothing, when the Holy Judgment, a giant warship made of steel and rock, appeared in front of Dantes, it directly shattered his three views.
It makes him feel like a frog at the bottom of a well, ignorant of the universe in which he lives.
What kind of existence does the God Emperor really have!!
And what kind of power is in charge??
"Is this a creation of the gods?" A companion's face was full of shock and disbelief, "How can it be so huge?" ”
"No, it's a human creation." Manfrey looked at the shocked look of these locals, and he also felt a sense of pride.
"How is this possible?" Dantez looked at Manfrey, "How could a human create such a thing!" ”
"Don't underestimate your race, Dantes. We are extremely powerful, especially under the guidance of the God Emperor, the stars are destined to be our human beings, even if they are so-called gods, one day, we will defeat them and seize the entire universe. ”
Six thousand five, eat something, continue to chapter two.
Recently, I reviewed it and found that the perspective of ordinary people is somewhat lacking.
These chapters are written about the perspective of ordinary people.
However, the pen power is still a little poor, and I can't write the helplessness of a small individual in the face of the magnificent times, so I can only be shocked.
(End of chapter)
