Chapter 1061: Chapter 732: It’s Hopeless, Burn It Chapter 1061: Chapter 732: It’s Hopeless, Burn It In Hollywood blockbusters, movies about alien invasions typically start like this.
On a beautiful, sunny morning, everyone is leading their peaceful, leisurely lives and starting a new day. However, soon, the clear sky is overshadowed by dark shadows. The earth begins to tremble and people, lifting their heads in surprise, see an incomprehensibly massive object erging from the clouds, hovering above their city. At that mont, everyone is stunned; a taxi driver crashes into a wall, so people scream and run, while others cheer and jump for joy, creating chaos throughout the city.
Then the scene shifts to the local governing body’s room, where everyone is extrely tense, the President gets briefed, and others are working swiftly………
Well, these are the scenarios Duanmu Huai thought of based on the movie plots he had seen, given that they were now above the city, naturally, they couldn’t shoot a panoramic multi-angle wide-angle view of how tense or serious the atmosphere was like in the movies.
But through the Bird Divination Tool and detectors, they could still see on the screen the people screaming and running around on the streets and the traffic that had co to a standstill.
“Honestly, it’s my first ti seeing sothing like this,” said Ann curiously as he observed the screen.
“I suppose the Tribunal’s emblem is just too frightening,” he said.
“I don’t think so,” Duanmu Huai stood motionless on the bridge; his thoughts returned to the ti of the great expedition when the Emperor’s Legion aboard warships appeared before those abandoned human civilizations. What was the situation like then? Players had dug into this history, at the beginning of the great expedition, the Emperor’s actions were still transparent. But as the expedition progressed, most of the legions began to beco more radical, leaning towards solving problems through force.
Duanmu Huai still rembered that veteran nad Taviz, one of the Emperor’s Sons, whom Luo Ken had told him about, Taviz had a nickna called Whispering Wind, he was among those who joined the Legion and fought for the Emperor when the divine essence had not yet returned to the original body. According to Taviz’s account, the early days of the great expedition were sacred and full of wisdom, with nearly all the civilizations on those planets willing to submit and serve under the glory of the Emperor.
However, the expedition beca more radical over ti, especially after the return of the divine essences, Taviz sadly discovered that the great expedition had turned into a conquest of annihilation for those who opposed it.
And all of it happened after the Emperor appointed Horus as War Marshal.
Luo Ken also ntioned that during the expedition, they encountered a human civilization called the Kings Federation, keenly studying and cautious about Chaos. An envoy from the Kings Federation once told him that when Chaos began to erge, it manifested as savagery, greed, and belligerence, an uncontrollable force of destruction.
Therefore, at the initial contact with Horus and others, the Kings Federation was extrely vigilant, believing Astarte to be a war-monger, tall and mighty, born for battle, tirelessly committed to destruction, especially since their leader styled himself as War Marshal. What kind of title was that? Not an Emperor, not a Commander, not a General, but a War Marshal. The term bluntly suggested a scent of Chaos.
Thus, they were very cautious and fearful of Horus and his cohorts, worried that they were indistinguishable from demons who thrived in chaotic wars and never satiated God of Destruction with blood-stained hands.
Indeed, the Kings Federation was right.
Ultimately, Horus led the Expeditionary Legion into a sword fight with the Kings Federation.
Right, why War Marshal?
A synonym for chaos, coming from the mouth of a human Emperor?
Especially when the latter had sworn to stay away from chaos?
Well, although the Emperor can’t hear, Duanmu Huai still had to say it again.
That is a damn bastard.
“Great Judge, the other party is currently broadcasting on all channels, wishing to make contact with us,” said the operator.
“Patch them through, what are they saying?” Duanmu asked.
“This……….” Miael sighed helplessly and silently pressed the button; soon, a voice ca through.
“Welco to Beautiful Star! Guests from beyond the skies! Our long wait has finally been rewarded! I, the Great President of the United Governnt of Beautiful Star, warmly welco your arrival! And I invite you to the official residence to showcase the grace of guests from worlds beyond in front of all the humans of our world!”
“……….this guy isn’t the sa person we heard before, is he?” Duanmu twitched his brow and looked towards Miael. The voice was unexpectedly similar to the one they had previously obtained in satellite audio materials; both were equally affectatious and made one’s scalp tingle. If the voice in the satellite was Rudy the Flower Spirit, then the current voice was Zhang Fei playing Diao Chan.
“People in this world can’t all talk like this……” Mary shivered, having never encountered n who spoke in such a tone in her world.
“Honestly, I feel like issuing the Extinction order right now,” Duanmu twirled a Rose Knot in his hand, while Mary, uncharacteristically, did not object. Whether because she knew Duanmu was joking, or because she felt the sa way.
