Chapter 354: Heroes Are More than Just Warriors

In a closed room at midnight, Mr. Wild Snake was sleeping on the second floor of a store belonging to the former acolyte organization. It looked like a grocery store, but it was actually a store. He was dressed like an old man, with a kind face painted on his face. Even if the snoring sound came from his throat, hissing, hissing, it could not interrupt his hiding and falsehood.

It was natural, and no one could realize that this fifty-year-old man had the most powerful personal power in the entire block, so that he could kill anyone who was arrogant in the eyes of any resident.

It was just that the night was quiet, and the transcendent also needed to sleep, but when the radio beside his bed made a buzzing sound and forced to broadcast his familiar voice, the man behind the scenes woke up instantly.

"I am the commander of the 4th Skadi Infantry Regiment of the Imperial Guard. We have taken control of Bandertal's palace and completely dominated the Upper Nest. I now unilaterally declare that your resistance is no longer valid."

"Repeat, I am the commander of the 4th Skadi Infantry Regiment of the Imperial Guard. We have taken control of Bandertal's palace and completely dominated the Upper Nest. I now unilaterally declare that your resistance is no longer valid!"

The words were sonorous and powerful. Wild Snake climbed up from his bed. He turned up the volume of the radio and listened to the next announcement.

He nodded, pondered, and then shouted ecstatically to the other guys in the bedroom on the second floor outside the room. "It's over! It's over! We won, we succeeded!" His words were very loud, and they were repeated continuously on the fully enclosed second floor until all the guys woke up.

They hurried down the stairs, opened the rolling shutter, and the sleepy guys lit the night lights, but they saw that the streets were full of people during this time when even the factories should have stopped.

The residents held night lights, and the light in the room overwhelmed the dispensable public light source built by the Empire for them. The residents here walked out with fear and expectation. Some woke up their neighbors and friends, some shouted the end of the world, and some shouted that the Emperor's light was of extraordinary value.

But there is no doubt that a change has come. No one knows what the next day will be like. Most people think that the war that is approaching them is over, so the military factories that work overtime all the time and the lifting of restrictions can make the whole dark nest life a little better.

Those numb and helpless people can only look forward to this. At the same time, this time going out of the house is more of a catharsis for the days of following the rules. If the Emperor's soldiers are kind and give them a few days of rest, just like the day of the Emperor's Ascension Day, they will fully agree with the arrival of the Imperial Guard.

Until the only person here who still has credibility, Wild Snake, put on a new set of clothes and the padding for changing his height, and then shouted in a high and clear voice.

"Everyone!" He has become an old gentleman at this moment. To be precise, he is the honorary president of the local business guild and the owner of the largest grocery store here. He has lived in this neighborhood for 30 years. He is highly respected and gentle. Although he often travels to various places, there are few people in the nest city, especially in the streets around this neighborhood, who have not been helped by him.

The so-called nest city is a place that is not suitable for human survival but can only live here. People who can live to 60 years old are rare. So far, most people have known this tall, thin, gentle and elegant boss since childhood.

Most people have become quiet, even the most rogue, the least convinced of the emperor or the nobles, like a bandit or a cunning old thief, have to be silent because of the opening of the wild snake.

"Everyone living on this street, I have been looking forward to this event many years ago. To be honest, I know you are worried, afraid, and uncomfortable, but when I was a child, when the Feng family was in control of the Imperial Navy, we only needed 30 credit points a month to pay the air tax, water tax, and electricity tax. And now?"

"260, almost cannibalistic. Think about it, during this period of time, no one in the family was beaten by the private guards of the lord or the Chamber of Commerce because they could not pay those taxes, and no one in the family died of illness because they could not pay the water bill and drank unpurified water from unknown sources!"

"And some old people are still here, and they can all remember the days when the Empire controlled this place. People were far from suffering. And I have always regarded myself as the head of the family and taken care of everyone. For a long time, I am the one who hates Bandertar the most, the most disgusting, and the one who wants him to be stripped of bones and tendons the most!"

People couldn't help nodding, and the elderly residents couldn't help sobbing. Since the war, the lives of the hive nobles have been getting better and better, but the lower class has become a victim of those people's expansion.

During the days when the Feng family ruled, Engili did not have such a big say, nor did he have such an exaggerated territory, let alone challenge the empire. However, the lack of expansion also meant that the output was only 11 taxes. According to their second-level lower tax level, although people were not full, they were far less miserable than they are now.

At this moment, Yeshe struck while the iron was hot and spoke. "Go to the elevator! We want to welcome the Imperial Guard! Express your loyalty to the Emperor!"

"Praise the Emperor!"

People spoke in unison. "Praise the Emperor!"

At this point, Yeshe could not help but wipe his tears. These were not crocodile tears, but he felt that his great revenge had been avenged, and he also missed his ordinary and peculiar life. Now he is indeed in a high position, but he can't help himself.

The help of the Inquisition was an indelible mark on him. When the flames of loyalty buckled the rose knot on his skin, even if he could erase those marks, his soul was burned black by the flames, and he could no longer escape the slavery of the Inquisition.

But even so, he was determined to sell his soul to try to defeat the villain. So far, most people in the entire block came to the elevator of the industrial area in the early morning with large and small bags, condolences and gifts.

At this moment, the entire nest has stopped, and no one is in the mood to work. Except for the maintenance of the servitors, most of the management are nobles. Those people are terrified, and the lower-level workers are deprived of the right to obtain knowledge and cannot maintain the operation of the production line.

In order to maintain the huge security needs, the Ministry of Justice rarely bows to PDF, but now most officers are defined as war criminals, and there are very few officers who can maintain security in densely populated areas.

Here, Captain Kenny is one of those innocent officers. He eats marshmallows with a swagger, uses armored vehicles and bullets, and his men, about 1,200 people, a company of soldiers, completely control the local industrial area, and there are fifty fully armed bailiffs fighting with him.

Theoretically, the Imperial Guard has higher combat capabilities than the bailiffs, but in comparison, the bailiffs affiliated with the legal officers are quite exaggerated in equipment, with a full set of shell armor and anti-explosion batons or bolt pistols, and the black equipment shows a terrifying temperament.

And their rulers are almost covered with silver-black armor, holding heavy bolt shotguns that are no worse than Catachan soldiers, with tasers and electric batons on their belts, and their faces are almost completely covered with black exoskeleton armor. He is tall, but his voice sounds gentle and stern.

He walked to Captain Kenny. As a graduate of Zhongsi Academy, if he joins the Imperial Guard, he will have at least the power of lieutenant colonel, and the priority of bailiffs is higher than PDF, but he did not show contempt, but said.

"Thank you for your support, old friend. After the war of subjugation in the lower nest, we haven't seen each other for several standard Terran years. However, the comrades who survived are now in high positions, only you..."

His meaning is very clear. He can provide some "convenience" to this ten-thousand-year lieutenant, especially in the chaotic nest city now. The power of the Ministry of Justice has become larger in disguise, and they belong to the institution affiliated with the empire. They are also law-abiding when they are dominated by Bandertar and will never be "liquidated".

But Kenny said. "Being in a high position means responsibility. I don't want to be responsible. From the day when the beast's horn pierced my abdomen, I realized that being in a high position means paying more."

"I am reluctant to pay a hair for other people in this world, and I don't want to get mountains of gold and silver from others. I just need to live as myself. At this moment, this is enough."

The exposed mouth and thick chin of the legal officer showed a smile. "It's an interesting idea. If those nobles had your idea, such a tragedy wouldn't have happened now." He looked at the suppression area. Most of the troublemakers and those who might cause trouble were pointed at their heads by the marshals.

This unprovoked farce was the last carnival of Bandettar's men. It was sad that after the collapse of the huge empire of power, there were only such a mess and trash-like garbage people.

He wanted to complain to his old friend about the mess left by Bandettar, but was reported by the radio that there was another quarrel between the police on the main traffic road of the empire. According to the rules, he invited Captain Kenny to get into his private hovercraft and arrived at the scene as quickly as possible.

At this point, he got off the car a little impatiently, and the other side was also aggressive. Almost a thousand people were attacking the pass, and the marshals with only dozens of people could not deal with it. Until Captain Kenny spoke, hundreds of black guns were facing those thugs, and those people seemed to give up.

But soon, an old gentleman walked out of the crowd. The bailiffs did not dare to take action, and PDF's guns could not scare him. Many high-ranking people here could only watch his high-sounding opening.

"Mr. Judicial Officer, Mr. PDF, we just want to witness the triumphant return of the Imperial Guard. Since the area is now blocked, can we wait here?"

The Judicial Officer answered selflessly. "The light of the Emperor has returned. Xiao Xiao like you can just maintain your daily work, otherwise I have the right to detain you!" He said this, but he also saw the snake eye logo on the old gentleman's chest, and understood that he was a member of the guild and a spokesperson for public opinion. It was just that his words were harsh, but he did not dare to really take action.

But the captain said. "I have seen you, damn it, you are from that unit, why are you still hiding, Bandertal is down!" He recognized Wild Snake at a glance, which was also a coincidence. Even Wild Snake did not guess that this officer was here.

Wild Snake went with the flow at this moment. "Sir, I'm just doing a favor. It's the Emperor's grace that counts as meritorious service. If you hadn't let us go, the Imperial Guard would probably..."

"Don't say that. I can't beat those soldiers. Their temperaments reveal the situation. But something seems wrong. It's been several hours, but the troops haven't come down yet..." Captain Kenny retorted and put forward his own opinion, because he supports the fall of Bandertar, and he doesn't want that bastard to continue to ruin his hometown.

The legal officer spoke. "You know each other? That's easy. I can allocate an area for you..." Before he finished speaking, the communicator sent another signal. He connected his sight indicator, and the power armor began to play sound and pictures.

He saw several refugees stumbling down the elevator in the green holographic image. Most of them were old, weak, sick, and disabled. At the same time, some of them who could be considered responsible were talking to him on the phone with his bailiff.

He quickly understood the situation and his expression turned pale. "Someone from above fought back, the remnants of Bandertar..."

"Damn it, good times finally come and I can return to the empire!"

Captain Kenny spoke immediately. "How's the battle going?"

"The refugees are here. They only know that the entire upper nest is burning. However, it seems that the Imperial Guard has occupied Bandertal's manor. The place is firmly guarded. It will be necessary for a while..." What the legal officer meant was Wait and see, but the captain retorts.

"I've seen their convoy, and the supplies there can only last two battles!"

Wild Snake immediately added. "It's been almost half a week since I sent them away. According to standard Terra days, that's about three to four days. They must have just established a stronghold..."

The legal officer shouted cursingly. "Have we just returned to the embrace of the empire and we are about to fall into the tiger's den again? I can't stand maintaining order for those bad guys!"

Wild Snake said, fanning the flames. "Otherwise, if this continues, we can only be dogs. If we are dogs of the empire, at least we will have the God-Emperor to protect us. If we are dogs of those traitors, the beastmen will have to eat us all!"

Captain Kenny subconsciously touched his belly, touching the iron stomach through his skin and clothes, then smiled bitterly and said in pain. "Beast, beast..."

shouted again with determination. "I'm going to the lair and taking my brothers and sisters to assist the Imperial Guard. That troop can do practical things and is better and kinder than the Bandertals. The Emperor also loves them!"

Wild Snake immediately added. "I'll go too," he said, taking out the revolver from inside his coat. "I was a gang member when I was young, and my marksmanship is among the best!"

The legal officer looked at the mess and chaos here, was silent for a long time, and then turned on the communicator and said. "All the bailiffs in Area D have gathered. We need to suppress a large-scale rebellion. The location is the core area of ​​the Upper Nest, the former Bandertal Palace. The code name belongs to the Emperor!"
