Chapter 38 The Great Purge?
The attacks on residential areas were not simple.
Those poor victims left almost no intact bodies.
They were brutally dismembered, their internal organs and brains disappeared!
Judging from the traces at the death scene, it should be some kind of beast-like monster.
Now the residents are in panic.
People are afraid, and more despair hangs over the territory!
Ron sighed and asked Bayev who was waiting beside him:
"Have you found the murderer?"
"No, those damn things are hidden very deep!"
Bayev shook his head and continued:
"But we have some clues.
A few weeks ago, our agents in the Horman family's territory passed on a report that the same thing happened there.
This attack may be related to the 'Broken Eye' cult that is prevalent in their territory!"
Ron was silent.
After the rebellion of the evil followers five years ago, the upper nest closed the passage to the outside world.
Under the auspices of Bayev, a vigorous purge was launched to kill the evil followers.
But later, the control of the Royal Court District was further reduced, leading to the split of the Upper Nest.
Three major forces were formed, led by the Royal Court District, the Horman Family, and the Gray Wolf War Gang.
The Royal Court District's attitude towards the cult believers in the territory is to kill without mercy.
Any belief that is not related to the Emperor is prohibited.
Any disloyalty and blasphemy will be judged and executed on the spot!
But the Royal Court District cannot control things outside the territory.
Soon various cults revived in the territories of the Horman Family and the Gray Wolf War Gang!
Then the cultists gradually infiltrated the territory of the Royal Court District.
Fortunately, the Royal Court District is strictly managed, and they dared only to spread quietly outside the territory.
Until recently, the Royal Court District fell into a dangerous situation of material shortage, unrest, and further weakened control,
which gave the cultists an opportunity to infiltrate from the periphery into the territory.
The cultists mixed in with the people and were difficult to distinguish.
They quietly performed evil rituals, causing many casualties.
People from the law enforcement team and the logistics department were killed while performing their tasks.
This caused a lot of trouble for the Royal Court District.
What Ron really didn't expect was that they actually infiltrated near the Sacred Square!
Going further, would they enter the Royal Court District and even the Spire Mansion?
What made him even more angry was the timing of the appearance of those evil followers.
Now it's only a few days away from the "Emperor's Ascension Festival".
If the evil followers launched an attack on the day of the ceremony, it would cause great unrest.
Despair and fear will invade everyone!
By then, all his efforts will be in vain.
For this "Emperor's Ascension Festival", Ron almost invested all the resources of the Royal Court District, and he couldn't bear such a failure!
He even had reason to suspect that these evil followers were brought in by the Horman family.
Just to disrupt the ceremony.
As for the Gray Wolf War Gang?
Sorry,
Those guys with not very bright brains can't do such a big thing.
The Horman family is good at conspiracy and has launched attacks more than once or twice.
This time it hit the lifeblood of the Royal Court District!
Ron looked at Bayev with a firm attitude:
"We must clear all the evildoers in the residential areas around the Sacred Square before the ceremony!"
Bayev frowned: "Governor, we no longer have the time and manpower to investigate, identify and deal with the evildoers."
"Think about it again and see if there is any way..."
Ron felt a headache.
In any case, those evildoers must be dealt with cleanly. At such a critical moment, nothing can go wrong!
Bayev frowned and thought for a while, and gave an extremely cruel plan:
"Block the surrounding residential areas, declare them as heretics' nests, and cleanse everyone comprehensively! This is the fastest, most labor-saving, and will not cause too much turmoil. "
This is undoubtedly the fastest way to solve the problem, and it is also the empire's consistent way of thinking.
It just requires some sacrifices.
This is nothing to the empire. The empire is not short of sacrifices!
It can be said that the foundation of the empire is based on sacrifice.
The lives of hundreds of thousands of people, let alone in this purgatory galaxy, even on the planet Ers, can't stir up a little splash.
In order to pay the empire's tithe, the planet Ers lost nearly 10 billion lives!
"Governor, this is the best response that the Royal Court can make!"
Bayev said earnestly: "If those evil followers continue to spread, it will not only destroy the ceremony, but also cause a more terrible disaster!"
It can be said that as long as Ron nodded in agreement, hundreds of thousands of lives will return to the arms of the Emperor.
Perhaps this decision is a small problem for other planetary governors who are full of fat intestines and insects.
However, this is unacceptable to Ron.
His education cannot support him to do such a thing!
Those are hundreds of thousands of lives, all living people!
However, if it is not dealt with quickly, more people will die.
All his plans were burned.
At this moment, Ron truly realized that the lives of Warhammer 40K are really worthless.
In the past, when he heard Bayev say that tens of millions or even billions of people died on Ers in order to pay taxes to the empire, he actually didn't feel anything.
Just listen to it as a story.
But when hundreds of thousands of lives were put in front of him and he had to make a choice, he felt the heaviness.
Ron somewhat understood the pain that old Grant had felt at the time.
It was really a dilemma!
Bayev thought Ron was worried about the impact of the comprehensive cleansing of the residential area.
He was full of confidence and added:
"Please believe in my ability. I have dealt with similar incidents many times and I am experienced.
I promise you that the entire cleansing process will never affect other residential areas.
No one will be able to escape, and no bad news will spread.
Within two days, this matter will be completely settled!"
Ron was speechless when he heard this.
In fact, Bayev was right. He did have rich experience in cleansing.
But why do you look so confident?
You really don't treat people as human beings!
In that instant, Ron felt that those cruel rulers really deserved to die!
They could do anything cruel.
With such a cruel steward around, those who didn't know would think that he, the governor, was the villain!
I always feel that if this general manager falls into chaos one day, he will definitely be the top person.
Bayev looks like he is helping you solve your problems:
"Governor, what do you think?"
What do you think?
Do we really have to purge hundreds of thousands of innocent people?
Even if we take a step back, these people cannot die.
They are all his nutrients, they must be protected!
Ron wanted to get angry and tell Bayev to get out, but he held back.
After all, Bayev is just an executor, a loyal general manager.
No matter how cruel and bad he does, the final responsibility will be attributed to himself, the governor of the planet.
Of course, it is attributed to Ron Grant.
I, Ron, have just crossed over not long ago, and I can't take the blame.
On the contrary, Ron has to clean up the original owner's ass and clean up this mess!
Things are back to square one.
If Bayev's proposal is rejected, are there other solutions?
