Chapter 153 Power, violence, fear
......
Command the deck.
Angron had his back to the tactical table, leaning his waist on the smooth edge of the table, looking down at the professional negotiators saluting in front of him.
People in the fleet call negotiators messengers.
Because they are specifically responsible for establishing connections between the imperial armed forces and the planets to be conquered, and promoting a peaceful recovery.
The original body tilted its head slightly, but its pupils almost turned to the bottom of its eyes, looking down at the messenger in front of it.
“It took you three hours to bring me such conditions?”
Angron said softly.
"Our fleet left and then they declared themselves to join the Empire."
"That's it?"
The messenger lowered his head and trembled. If the original body had not knelt down in hatred, he would have knelt down right now.
Angron is approachable and greets others when he is greeted.
He is often the first to greet people, because as the original body, his reaction speed is much higher than that of ordinary people. When others first see him and their brains have not ordered salutes and greetings, the sound of the original body's greetings is loud. It has already reached other people’s ears.
But Angron is a primarch after all, and the messenger is still afraid in front of him, especially in this situation.
"Your Highness... we used to work like this." The envoy whispered, "I know you will be dissatisfied, but the empire has strict regulations on the working procedures of us negotiators, and we can only do things according to the procedures..."
“No, messenger, no.” Angron raised his hand to signal the bureaucrat in front of him to listen to himself first, “I received information from two groups of people. The information you got after leading the team down was about the nest. For the nobles in the world, you have figured out the strength and weakness of each of their families, whether they are hostile to each other or cooperative, which is good."
"The information given to me by another wave of people is about civilians. "
"Ninety-nine point nine percent of the 12.9 billion people in the hive world, those civilians, have two living conditions. "
< br>“One type is those who have jobs. They work in workshops full of toxic chemicals and receive a little food every month to feed their families.”
"The other type has no jobs. They live in the worst environment in the lower nest and the bottom nest. They kill each other to compete for food and water sources."
"Looking at it according to the standards of the Nukerian era, later Their living standards are hell, worse than those of slaves."
As he spoke, Angron picked up a photo from the tactical table and placed it in front of the envoy between his fingers.
The messenger looked at the photo. The photo showed a noble in power armor chasing down some half-dressed men.
“Look.”
"This is the coming-of-age ceremony for those nobles. When they reach adulthood, they will put on armor and enter the lower nest to slaughter. This is the coming-of-age ceremony."
"Every noble who participates in the coming-of-age ceremony will also engage in a killing competition. They The lackeys will cut off the human heads and pile them up, and then calculate who is the most awesome among the bipedal beasts participating in the coming-of-age ceremony.”
After briefly introducing the things that I can’t tolerate the most. , possessed by Angron, level with the imperial bureaucrats in front of him.
A gentle question came from the mouth of the original body: "Do you think in a world like this, we can accept him announcing that he joins the Empire and then nothing will change, and everything will be business as usual?"
"Your Highness, it is not business as usual." The messenger smiled bitterly, "There will be imperial bureaucrats coming to manage this place."
"Then it's even worse. There are a lot more bedbugs for the people in this hive world to feed." Angron said, "I will not allow imperial bureaucrats to settle here. I will let Nuceria go to school for training." The bureaucrats come out to take over here, but before that, I want to change this damn world.”
The messenger saluted.
Anyway, the Emperor promised that the original body in front of him could manage the one hundred galaxies he conquered by himself.
"Kiel." Angron called.
The World Eater Legion Commander immediately came to the Gene Father.
"Arrange the itinerary for me and I will go down in person." Angron said.
“Leave it to us, father.” Kil did not immediately accept the order, “You should not have descended into such a dirty and corrupt world. As your weapons and tools, we descendants will be in that dirty and corrupt world. The dirty world will carry out your will, and let the people there bathe in your grace."
Angron raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment, and nodded: "I will watch you."< br>
Kiel saluted.
The legion commander already has someone to carry out the mission.
Mago, commander of the 18th Company.
Kahn, commander of the 8th Assault Company.
......
Even on the surface of the hive world, beyond the planet, in the cosmic space that was once called space and is now called the void, is the flagship of the Resolute Resolve. Also clearly visible.
The outline of the huge battleship is suspended above the planet, but it is far, far away from the planet, but it is too huge.
On the bottom of the battleship, the symbol of the World Eaters is clearly visible.
The bloody fangs bite a planet.
When the people at the top of the hive world saw this sign, they felt that something was wrong, and felt that the person coming might not be a good person.
A panic spread among the cruel rulers.
Ordinary people in the hive world also learned about the arrival of the World Eaters fleet in various news reports, and the nobles used the terrifying symbol of the World Eaters to spread fear of the uninvited guests.
Soon the second contact begins.
A small ship that can enter the planet's atmosphere slowly sailed in, passed by the side of the tower, passed the upper nest, and flew to the lower nest.
The symbol of the bloody fangs biting a planet is clearly visible when people look at it.
Inside the small ship were the Space Marines of the 18th and 8th companies, totaling more than 2,000 people, as well as 20,000 mortal troops, and a large amount of supplies.
The two company commanders were in the command room, looking at the three-dimensional diagram of the overall structure of the hive city presented on the tactical table. Mago, the captain of the 18th Company, was always personable.
Mago stood at the tactical table with his arms folded in front of his chest. The center line of his helmet was inlaid with red mane, similar to the helmet of a centurion in the ancient Roman army.
A wide cloak covers Mago's back and the right part of the front of his body.
His right arm, which is folded with his left arm, is under the cloak.
Nothing can make others aware of Mago's arrival more than a cloak. The cloak was given to him by Kiel. In a war, he once penetrated the enemy's defense line and killed the enemy through his superb command skills. Technobarbarian tyrant.
Kahn, commander of the 8th Assault Company, and Mago stood in exactly the same stance, because they were not only comrades in arms, but also fellow countrymen, and both were from Terra.
Kahn has no cloak, and the chain ax hangs on his waist, swaying with the ups and downs of Kahn's upper body when he breathes.
"There is a coming-of-age ceremony going on in the lower nest." Mago pointed to the projection on the tactical table, as well as the information and location marked on the projection, "Please go down in person and treat those who are going through the coming-of-age ceremony. The nobles carried out the assault."
Kahn's head shook up and down: "I don't really want to obey your orders, but since the legion commander has given you full responsibility for the operation, I trust you and will listen to you."< br>
Mago nodded silently and saluted Kahn, the battle brother.
He has always been polite and personable. Even when facing a new recruit, he would call him brother, and if he entrusted him with something, he would speak politely and salute him.
Because in his eyes, nothing is more important than brotherhood.
Without brothers we are nothing. This is what Mago once said to Kahn.
"But I'm more curious about what you think." Kahn pointed to the top of the tower, "Why don't we just go to the top of the tower and kill all those people?"
"Because we need to be saved. Some people then spread the word and win the favor of 99 percent of the world," Mago said.
Kahn nodded, thought for a moment, and said with a sneer: "I really don't know what those pigs planned. We are all here and they still dare to carry out the adult ceremony."
"Because the envoy who went to the top of the tower earlier Tell the nobles that they can carry out the coming-of-age ceremony and we will not interfere," Mago said, "The envoy followed the empire's procedures, but he also wanted to win our father's favor, so he asked the nobles to carry out the coming-of-age ceremony. Give us a chance to save people and promote it."
Kahn smiled: "It's clumsy to please."
"That fool hasn't figured out the character of the original body yet. You can’t understand it.”
The sound came from the gate.
Kahn and Mago followed the sound and saw Qin Xia leading three people into the command room.
The two company commanders saluted.
Qin Xia returned the gift.
Then Kahn looked at Qin Xia's current attire.
Not a MK2 power armor, not a tactical Dreadnought, but a very fitting dress.
"I'm going to go up to the nest to talk to those nobles, but there's no need to stop the ship or turn around. I'll teleport there." Qin Xia walked to the tactical table. "One of the people I brought will work with you. He will Record what you did and then use it as promotional materials."
Qin Xia turned back and looked at the people he brought.
The monk of the Mechanicus, the chronicler of the Twelve Legions, said that he was performing the task of the mentor, but in fact, he was more like a clumsy quadrant monk who was assigned by the mentor.
Sisters Olina.
“It’s not this lady, it’s Quadrant.” Qin Xia said.
The monk named Quadrant took a step forward and gave the gear salute to the two company commanders.
Kahn and Mago responded with the Eagle Salute.
Small ships have arrived at the lower nest, and engineering aircraft have begun to cut the huge shell and open a hole in it that allows small flying vehicles to pass quickly.
“I have my own things to do, but I will help.” Qin Xia said, “If you are unsure about anything, I will directly transmit it to your original body and let him make a decision. , or I can provide you with some psychic help."
"It's really great." Mago saluted again, "Your psychic means can work wonders."
"Just call me when you need it. Although I am not in the nest, I will help in time." Qin Xia said.
The quadrant on the side takes pictures of everything in front of them and then records them.
[In my opinion, the three of them represent the three things needed to conquer a world. 】
【Mago represents power. 】
The electronic eyes of Quadrant automatically focused on Mago and took photos of Mago.
[After the Eighteenth Company Captain came to this world, he represented the World Eaters Legion in formulating specific decisions and distributing tasks. Regardless of the nature of the World Eaters, it represents part of the strongest armed force of the Human Empire today, and this is its power. 】
【Kahn represents violence. 】
The electronic eyes of Quadrant are locked on Kahn and are also recorded in the log.
[The Captain of the Eighth Assault Company is the most suitable person to carry out matters related to violence. It is a wise decision for the Commander of the Kil Corps to arrange for him and Mago to come to the hive world together. When force is needed to achieve a goal, Kahn's killings are effective. 】
【Qin Xia represents fear. 】
Quadrant looked at Qin Xia.
[The adoptive father of Primarch No. 12 possesses amazing psychic talents. He could kill whoever he wished without making a sound, and if the Captains could not quickly enforce the Primarch's will by their own means, he would use fear to force the nobles into submission. 】
[Perhaps the original body of the World Eaters Legion is more benevolent, but he must have realized during the uprising when he was young that any conquest or change cannot be separated from power, violence, and fear, even if he embraces With good purpose. 】
After saying what needed to be said, Qin Xia glanced at the Olina sisters and motioned for them to follow him. Then the three of them walked towards the exit together, and finally disappeared into the ice and snow.
“It’s time for us to do something.” Mago turned to look at his best friend.
A sneer appeared on Kahn's face under his helmet, he reached for his chainsaw and drew his bolt pistol.
