Chapter 9 The Hive Has Fallen?

Ron finally knew what time node he was in.

The end of the 41st millennium of the Empire!

The Great Rift!

This is the biggest crisis the Empire has encountered since the Heresy of Warmaster Horus.

The raging warp storm tore a big crack in reality.

The huge and chaotic energy caused the Astronomican maintained by the Great Emperor to extinguish one after another, unable to provide any protection.

The moment the Astronomican extinguished, the disaster happened!

Countless ships were torn apart in the void, and countless worlds were exposed, isolated and swallowed by darkness.

Chaos raged, and planets fell!

The cries for help from the victims, the desperate shouts and the last distress messages instantly flooded into the minds of the astropaths, drowning them.

The huge and terrifying information drove the astropaths crazy and even died.

The human empire is in a state of disability, and doomsday is spreading!

The enemies in the dark launched an attack on the empire.

From the distant borders of the Pacific star field to the storm-ravaged Charadon star field, planets are being destroyed, and tens of billions of imperial citizens died in despair!

When the Star Torch lit up again, a large crack like a dark curtain was completely formed, dividing the territory of the Empire into two.

Half of the Empire was covered by darkness!

Those worlds in darkness are called the dark side of the Empire.

They cannot get in touch with Holy Terra, cannot ask for support from the Empire, and can only struggle alone, or perish in the darkness.

Of course, these worlds are not without hope.

As long as they can survive until the arrival of the Indomitable Expeditionary Force led by the Regent of the Empire, Robert Guilliman, they have the hope of returning to the light.

If Ron guessed correctly, Ers was in the dark side of the Empire.

Ers, who lost the protection of the Emperor and the Imperial Army, was like running naked and was in extreme danger.

The combat effectiveness of the planetary defense force inside the planet was not good at all.

It was okay to suppress internal rebellion, but to fight against aliens and chaos, it was just to deliver food, cannon fodder among cannon fodder!

If the aliens or chaos invaded casually, Ers would end up destroyed!

But the loss of contact with the Empire made Ron feel relieved.

This means that Ers no longer has to bear the extremely cruel tithe, but can extend its life.

As the supreme ruler, he can do whatever he wants without being restricted by the empire.

Ron has the little sun. As long as he has enough time and the right strategy, he is confident that he can protect this planet!

Of course, the premise is not too unlucky and let the alien or chaos army target it.

Then it will be over.

"What big crack?" Bayev was a little confused.

"Nothing" Ron shook his head.

He didn't want to tell anyone about this, mainly because it was difficult to explain, and it was too scary, which would only make people more afraid.

Ron felt much better and threw the document aside.

I won't read it anymore. I don't pay taxes, so why bother to read it!

"You arrange it, I'm going to inspect the lower nest"

Ron is going to place the psychic core of the little sun in the lower nest of the nest city to connect to the real world and absorb the power of hope.

Here we have to talk about the structure of the nest city. The nest city is a huge metal building complex covering the continent, inhabited by tens or even tens of billions of residents.

The hive city is generally divided into four layers: the bottom nest, the lower nest, the upper nest, and the spire.

The bottom nest is located at the bottom, full of pollution, reactors, broken rocks, and mutants, making it almost impossible to live.

It is the residence of the poor and the destitute, and all kinds of scum criminals, lost people, and mutants will also use it as a refuge.

No normal person is willing to go to the bottom nest, so the bottom nest is far away from the rule of the planetary regime. There are no rules, only killing and death.

The lower nest is located above the bottom nest and belongs to the industrial zone.

Various industrial departments are set up here, and billions of workers live here, accounting for the vast majority of the population of the hive city.

The workers in the lower nest work day and night to provide food, electricity, and daily necessities for the hive city to barely make a living.

The upper nest is the residence of the nobles and officials, who enjoy free electricity and various resources provided by the lower nest.

As for the spire, it belongs to the planetary governor, who owns everything on this planet.

On the whole, placing the psychic core in the lower nest is the most cost-effective!

Because workers are most likely to generate the power of hope, if their living standards are slightly improved, they can absorb a large amount of hope.

Ron was full of confidence at this moment. It was a great start. He wanted to lead the planet Pheas with the little sun!

Unfortunately, reality is cruel.

Bayev shook his head and said, "You can't go. The lower nest has fallen..."

Ron: ? ? ?

After Bayev's explanation, Ron learned that many things happened after the death of old Grant.

He inherited the position of governor, but the negative effects of the subspace storm continued to exist, causing chaos mutants to continue to emerge from the lower nest.

A large number of planetary defense forces were sent to the lower nest to clear mutants, and the royal court area fell into an extremely weak stage.

Soon, the nobles joined the heretics of the lower nest to launch a rebellion and control the lower nest area.

After that, they organized an army to attack the upper nest area, and even the royal court area was almost captured.

There were countless casualties in the upper nest area, and a large number of nobles and officials were killed.

After paying an extremely painful price, Ron Grant finally drove the rebels out of the Upper Nest and completely closed the city gates and elevator shafts of the Upper Nest area, completely isolating it from the Lower Nest and the Bottom Nest.

The Royal Court suffered heavy losses and was no longer able to recover the lost territory. Ron Grant also lost his fighting spirit and indulged in alcohol and sex.

Until he was dragged into the Slaanesh Palace and died, and Ron, who came from the soul, replaced him.

The current situation is that Ron, as the governor, can only hide in the Upper Nest, and he can't even fully control the Upper Nest.

It's numb.

The Tianhu start is gone!

How can this be played? Ron can send warmth to the workers in the Lower Nest and improve their lives, so he can get a lot of positive emotions and absorb the power of hope.

He can also gain the loyalty of the workers!

Now he can only absorb hope in the Upper Nest and the Royal Court at the top of the tower.

There are a group of nobles or officials here, how to send warmth to them?

Those who already have a good life, it is extremely difficult for Ron to win them over.

No matter how much he gives, he can't get their gratitude and loyalty.

It's good that he doesn't lead his private soldiers to capture the Royal Court and replace Ron.

It's a tradition for the nobles of the Upper Nest to intrigue and even kill each other.

This stems from a rule, that is, the Empire will not interfere with the regime change within the planet.

It doesn't matter who becomes the planetary governor, you pay the tithe, which is the greatest loyalty.

This means that no matter who it is, as long as he kills Ron and then stands firm, he can obtain the supreme power of the planet!

Now that Ron is so weak, those noble families must be planning every day how to kill him and replace him?

He just escaped death, and fate began to increase his strength again?

Ron felt a little tired and slumped back in his chair.

"What's wrong with you?"

Ron asked weakly: "How many areas do we still control now, how many troops and population do we have?"
