Chapter 637: No matter what it takes

Arik took another sip of wine, filled it up, and drank again.

Suddenly, he smiled and said to everyone:

"Let me tell you a story, or a dream I had."

When everyone was confused , the slightly drunk Yarick has already begun his narrative——

"Late yesterday, I was alone in a stuffy room drinking wine, and then I found myself falling asleep. Ever since I took on the responsibility of surrounding the hive, I rarely slept, but yesterday, for no reason, I I fell asleep. This is very abnormal, and what’s even more abnormal is that I was still dreaming.”

He paused for a long time, maybe he was hesitating whether to disclose these things, or maybe he was thinking. Weighing the value and danger of sharing these things.

Everyone waited patiently.

Finally, Yarrick drained his glass of wine and continued talking.

“What I saw was such a picture. Perhaps one of you mystics can explain this meaning. I stood on a desolate plain swept away by fire, and beyond The smell of the catalyst indicated that this place was destroyed by promethium. The scorching earth radiated a lot of heat, which meant that the bombardment only ended for a few hours before the land was steamed. The rolling The smoke stained the sky with gray and purple bruises, and the sun of this world was rising, its rays slanting beneath the haze of war, when a melting glow fell over the ruins, illuminating it. The clouds above also confused my eyes.”

Alex burped, seemingly satisfied.

"Well, so I raised my left hand to cover my eyes, only to find that the armor was covered with thick soot and dirt. Everything was dirty except for my sword. It looked like it had just been polished by a swordsmith. It is spotless. It reflects the sun's rays, but reflects twice the light, even brighter than the main body. There is no living thing here, and even soot covers every surface. I feel that I was really there at that time. It feels like the dream is real, not the waking world."

"It's really interesting."

Sir Webb suddenly interjected, and Alex immediately glared at him.

"Dead man, shut up."

These words finally caused Sir Webb's unchanging smile to distort and turn into some kind of embarrassed expression, but Alex seemed to be really drunk and he couldn't say anything.

Then the drunken political commissar continued:

"The ground is full of charred skeletons, extending from all sides under my feet. They are all carbonized. Some kind of terrible weapon has killed them. The skin turned to powder, and the smell of burnt flesh simply suffocated me, wrapping me so tightly that I thought it would haunt me for the rest of my life. This was once a vibrant world, but now it has turned to ashes. , and then I saw some fragments scattered among the ashes, which seemed to be fragments of breastplate. The paint on it had been burnt off, and the armor itself had faded to iron gray due to the high temperature.

Yari. Ke shook his head, as if reluctant to recall that scene.

“A piece of breastplate was lying at my feet, still retaining some color. I knew I was dreaming, and I also knew it would be better when I picked it up. I saw something, but the logic of the dream still forced me to bend down and pick up the armor piece from the ruins. Or rather, I was just a bystander who let others make the decision. I carefully turned it over, and On the other side, it was almost burned out of sight. As I expected, it was an eagle emblem with a very familiar medal on it. I was frightened and dropped the armor piece. It fell to the ground and broke into pieces. Countless fragments, again, that's the way dreams are, and only then did I notice that the skeleton on the ground looked so familiar, it was actually me. ”

He let out a long breath and glanced at his deputy inadvertently.

“My soldiers fell beside me, their corpses spread all the way to the horizon. After realizing this, the dream revealed more details to me. I saw Countless broken armors, and countless skulls on the corpses.”

Yarrick felt very uncomfortable. He did not look at those people, but stared at the scene in his memory.

“Which battlefield is this? I don’t know, and the identity of the enemy is also hidden from my eyes, but it turns out that this scene is just a scene about to be staged in reality. The sun rises slowly from above the clouds , but the earth was shrouded in darkness, and I suddenly had a terrible premonition. A gust of black wind blew by, lifting the ashes of the deceased and flying into my face, so I tasted their burning The smell of burnt meat, and at the same time there was a terrible howl in the wind."

Yarrick's narration was so emotional that it made some ladies tremble.

"I started looking, but the sound got louder and louder, and then a second howl joined, then a third, and then a fourth. Amidst the countless howls, a green howl stepped out of the dark snow. The beast, it was the biggest one I had ever seen, almost as big as an Imperial Knight. Its blood-red eyes and mouth were burning. It came towards me, and I knew it was coming to kill me, so I raised my sword. Prepare to fight.”

“What happened next?”

I don’t know whose voice it is, but Yaric doesn’t care.

“We fought together for a long time. Its breath was like thunder, its fangs were like mountain peaks, and I only had the fury of a storm. My battle with it even made the earth shake and the sky Boiling."

"Have you defeated it, my lord?"

Alex picked up the wine bottle, only to find that it was empty, and a troubled expression suddenly appeared on his face.

"It was too powerful and I couldn't defeat it, but I found an opportunity to sacrifice an arm in exchange for the opportunity to thrust the sword into its throat."

Looking at the empty glass of wine The pot, Yaric shook it.

"I woke up after that, and I understood one thing. There is only one way to survive in front of such a terrifying beast-"

As he said that, he let go of his hand , still the wine bottle fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

"At all costs." Sir Webb was stunned, and in the few seconds he was distracted, a warm hand suddenly covered his mouth.

Jon Abbott appeared behind him and lightly slit the throat of the hive city dignitary with a sharp tactical dagger.

For a moment, the whole place was silent, except for the muffled grunt of Sir Webb who had his trachea cut open, and the slight sound of blood splattering.

Yarrick didn't seem to see anything, he just took a newly filled glass of wine from the servitor as usual. Even though the other party's blood sprayed on his body, he drank the glass with a calm expression. .

"Ah!!!"

With the harsh female scream, the silence was finally broken. Everyone panicked, but the bodyguards had not yet reacted.

Bang——————!

Suddenly, the door was opened heavily from the outside, and at the same time, the remains of several smoking armed servitors also fell to the ground.

“Do it!”

Holding a light bolter, Meck walked in with a cigarette in his mouth. Behind him was a large group of vicious gang elites, armed to the teeth and covered in scars.

Before the bodyguards on the second floor of the hall could react, a string of bullets flew from behind, shooting them down one by one and falling to the smooth floor of the hall.

Moise appeared on the second floor with his troops and completely controlled the hall.

Both of these two men were Sir Webb's white gloves, so they both knew the secret passage into the Purple Stone Manor. They used the emergency as an excuse to ask to meet with Sir Webb, and while waiting, they suddenly broke out and killed each other. He killed the manor's bodyguards, then opened the passage and put in his younger brother, and fought his way in.

When these armed men appeared, the originally noisy crowd suddenly became quiet, and everyone realized what had happened.

Alex threw away the wine glass, looked down at the dead Sir Webb, and then said loudly:

"We have obtained evidence that he is an alien spy. Don't panic, everyone."
< br>Of course, everyone knows this is nonsense.

"The culprit will be punished. I will not embarrass you loyal citizens of the empire."

Yarrick looked at everyone with a smile on his face, his original drunkenness disappeared.

"Everyone should support the plan I just proposed, right?"

"Of course! Of course!"

"Everyone should contribute to the empire!"

"I Donate! I will donate everything!”

Seeing these upper class people being as humble as beggars, Alex felt an indescribable pleasure in his heart, but he immediately warned himself not to be intoxicated with power - and still Power comes with violence.

"Okay, in that case, let me tell you something."

Yarrick clicked on the holographic display in the large picture, which showed that several large aprons on the upper level of the hive were all uniformed of people controlled.

"From today on, no aircraft is allowed to leave the hive airspace without my permission. Anyone who disobeys will be punished as treason, and the air defense force has the right to shoot it down!"

Although everyone I feel dissatisfied, but still as quiet as a chill.

"Then, let's do it. I said that if you want to defend the nest city, you must share the same hatred with the enemy, regardless of hierarchy. You will also have your own position in the future."

"Position——"

A fat man wiped the sweat from his forehead and smelled tremblingly:

"What position is it?"

Yake's face His smile became even brighter.

“Of course it is a position suitable for everyone.”
