The Emperor’s Angel of Death

"You left?"

After listening to the whole narrative, Soshyan's anger gradually subsided, but his mood did not get better, but became more gloomy.

He suddenly realized a reality. What Tushan said before was probably not an exaggeration, but something that actually happened...

This made him shudder even more.

"I went to find out the situation. As for how to deal with it, you make the decision. After all, it is a governor, and we are wearing the armor of the star knight. Now the situation is so sensitive, so many eyes are watching."

Soshyan looked at his friend and whispered:

"Talos, you won't be persuaded by the governor's sophistry, will you?"

Talos shrugged.

"That's not true. I've seen a lot of guys like him, and I've killed a lot of them, but even if he told some lies, the general situation should be the same. I mean, your focus should not be on that planet, the situation Maybe we think a lot more... And in a sense, he did nothing wrong, although I really want to pick his skin, but I am not too easily emotional left and right people."

"Didn't do anything wrong? Just massacring the people of the empire is enough to make him die ten times! Not only him, but those officials, law enforcement officers, and military officers who assisted him in doing these things, all deserve to die!"

Talos shook his head.

"One thing you said was wrong, those are his people."

Soshyan was taken aback for a moment, and Talos then added:

"The Throne grants him the power to rule, and he is entitled to dispose of his people and planet as he sees fit, especially in times of war, and in a sense... that is his property, he is not Tai The governor appointed by Ra, but the hereditary ruler passed down according to the ancient contract, he did not have any betrayal, and he paid taxes on time, and even prevented the turmoil that might erupt in the nest. From any point of view, there is nothing wrong with it. Population... The empire has never been short of population, and the hives will soon be filled with immigrants. In the current empire environment, a ruler like him may even be praised, because many rulers even Not as good as him."

"No, that's not the case. The empire is made up of hundreds of millions of people. Every life has its value. Everyone is the emperor's subjects. No one has power..."

"You don't have to pay much attention to what I say. I am always a midnight lord. I believe in punishment and strict commandments. In my eyes, the only mistake of that governor is incompetence. Everyone will have different values, so I put this It's up to you to deal with it."

"Talos, Soshyan has had enough troubles."

Veronica frowned and walked to the table, changing each of them a new cup of tea.

"It's not a big deal at all. You can deal with it. It's just a governor. If you kill it, you will kill it."

Talos sighed.

"That's something he has to know."

"Can-"

"Veronica, I'm fine, Talos is right, this is my responsibility."

"Don't blame yourself too much. You have done a good job. You have good intentions in many things, but those people below have problems with their execution—"

"not like this!"

Suoshyan suddenly punched the tabletop, cracking the metal-like wooden tabletop. Veronica was startled and stopped what she was still saying.

"The problem is not those **** hive rulers and bureaucrats, nor is it brought about by heresy and war, the problem is that it is there! It has always been there! Everyone can see it, but everyone pretends not to! Even if No matter how many enemies we eliminate in the future, the problem is still there! It won’t be beaten away like the Red Pirates and the Black Legion! What is the problem? It is constantly emphasizing sacrifice, sacrifice, but who is really willing to be firewood in the hands of others? And it is the firewood with the most no dignity! No one wants to do it, but someone has to sacrifice, so when a person can sacrifice others at will At that time, what is such a sacrifice? They said that we are angels, and everyone, whether slaves, commoners, or nobles, worship us, but now I have no face. "

Suoshyan's expression fell into deep sorrow, and he patted his face lightly with his palm, and said with a wry smile:

"I have no face to admit that I am an angel. I am not even a qualified protector. I used to always feel that if everyone in the empire believed in death or victory, would the dawn of mankind and the empire appear? But in the end I found that most people have difficulty even struggling to form a human form, they don't even have the strength to think about it...I know what's wrong, everyone knows what's wrong, but who There is no way to change it.”

Talos leaned on the chair, raised his head, looked at the ceiling, and said slowly:

"People can live seven or eight days without food, and three or four days without water. The empire that has always been so erratic has survived for tens of thousands of years. I tell you this is not to hope that you will feel sorry for yourself. No one can be spotless. Alive, we are inhaling dust every moment, but what will happen to the next ten thousand years of this human empire will probably be decided by you, you have to cheer up and think."

"Yeah, honey, don't do that."

Seeing Soshyan's depressed expression, Veronica took out a handkerchief and wiped his face distressedly, and comforted him softly:

"It's not your fault. Those people make mistakes and just kill them. It's just a matter of a ruling document. You have been in command at the front line, and you have to be responsible for the coordination of various theaters. There must be something that you can't take care of. Who can know everything? What? This messy human empire cannot be changed by one person's power, don't always force yourself like this...you have fulfilled your obligations, and that's enough."

Soshyan shook his head.

"In this disaster, those innocent civilians who died tragically have my responsibility. I will not shirk my responsibility by not taking care of what I am doing, because I have the power to decide the death of almost everyone, then I You have to take responsibility for the lives and deaths of all of them, and that's only fair, that's the way things should be."

"Soshyan..."

"I'm fine, Veronica, really."

With a sigh, he leaned back on the chair.

"It's only in front of you that I can lose my temper a little bit and say something I really want to say."

Talos looked down at him and whispered:

"No matter what, I will stand by your side."

"Me too."

Soshyan smiled, and took Veronica's hand on his shoulder.

"Prepare a document, Kefen XXXI carried out extermination-style suppression without application, ordered him to abdicate and exile to the pale star area, and one of his descendants can inherit the post of governor, and the planetary adjudicator without application Unauthorized mobilization of extermination weapons, demoted to a first-class law enforcement officer, and transferred to the Endymion frontline law enforcement area to serve."

"Huh? Just let those people go like this?"

Soshyan shook his head~www.readwn.com~That's it...Saving the living is more important, that nest can no longer withstand any turmoil. "

"I see, is there any more?"

"Also, immediately calculate the reserves of promethium and food reserves in each theater. If there is more than 30% of the remaining reserves, the commander of the theater is authorized to use it to rescue the hive cities and worlds that are in energy and food shortages. In addition... .You can contact Zorge and ask him to investigate the current trade market situation in the Maelstrom area. Specifically, look at the severity of hoarding and price gouging. Write a detailed report to me. Angstrom's factory ship will soon be able to They are active again, let them go to the hive capital of Senglad first, the situation will definitely improve, by the way, let the Star Language Office write a message and send it to Reza, asking if it is convenient to provide some promethium factories there Ship, if there is a reply, let me know as soon as possible."

"Okay, I wrote it all down."

"Hey, even though I don't have an answer in my mind right now, I have to do things if I don't have an answer... The last thing is to inform the whole regiment, as well as all the allies of the warband except the ascetics, and set off to return in 10 hours Sagan Galaxy."
