Chapter 656 Doomsday Storm: The Price of Betrayal
The image disappeared with a flicker, and the smiling face of the Minister of State and the overlapping palms also turned into folded light in the blink of an eye, and then disappeared in Lu Xi's hand.
She blinked, and the flash in her eyes disappeared with the last impact. The data cable inserted in her arm was retracted and put into the super brain slot at the back of her head. After blinking, she raised her cold eyes and looked at Vito who was standing with his hands on his waist.
The latter smiled at her, but got no response. Eva came over from the side and stood behind Vito with her hands behind her back, "Sir, what is your order now?"
"Order?" "Yes, sir, do you need me to order the execution? Considering what they just said." "Indeed, sir, every word they just said constitutes treason, and ten times of execution is not enough."
Judge Belia came up and clenched his fist and said, his other hand pressed on the laser pistol on his waist. Vito glanced at him, snorted softly, and put his hands behind his back.
"If we don't get rid of them tonight, we will have to prepare more than a hundred coffins tomorrow morning. My lord, the rebellious space marines are much more difficult to deal with than ordinary rebels." Captain Yularen said, his voice mixed with distorted mechanical electronic music, but it sounded more stable than the voice of the mysterious Mechanicus priest on the side.
The Mechanicus priest's one eye turned, and the calculated data quickly jumped over it, like a meteor shower sliding across an uninhabited desert. "According to the calculation results of the calculation program, what they said is likely to be true. In this case, their words are worth believing."
"So what is your suggestion?" "Immediately execute them and those related to them." "That's too many, Inquisitor Belia, how many people do you have? Two companies of stormtroopers?"
Vito said, with his hands behind his back, he walked to the side, standing at the berth at the edge of the dock, looking up at the magnificent Inquisition warship in front of him, it was quietly moored in the dock, and the dark surface flashed with smooth light.
The key issue is not to kill these people, but to solve several things at the same time, the cleanup of potential rebels, the deterrence of Alpha Space Marines, and more importantly, to make Ultramar join the Empire, rather than adding fuel to the fire and adding a civil war to the current war.
That means that the liquidation needs to be fast, low-key, and inconspicuous, and this is almost a paradox. From the current situation, the four people are backed by the vested interest groups of the entire Ultramar. They are in the inner ring and control those rich worlds. It is not good for the Empire to tear their faces directly.
Besides, the war is still going on now. Disrupting the Ultramarines' front first will only make it more difficult for Guilliman. The purpose of this action is to help the Regent solve the trouble, and this is exactly the job of Vito, the leader of the Assassination Chamber and the Inquisition.
Each of the above things is almost opposite, just like a paradox. To achieve some of them will inevitably hinder others. This is almost an incomprehensible dead end for ordinary people.
Vito looked at the towering body of the battleship and the gun barrel standing high up and smiled, "Admiral Trench." "Former Admiral, but yes, sir." "Is this the only battleship you have now?"
Trench and Belia looked at each other, then looked over, "Not only that, sir, there is another fleet on standby in outer space, and my flagship is also on it. This is just the barge that sent us down."
"Well, very good, I'll give you an order, but first, Nawak." Vito said, and the assassin leader of Callidus walked silently behind him, with only the almost inaudible breathing sound coming from under the silver skull mask.
Vito raised a finger and pointed at him, "You and your assassins, disguised as followers of Nurgle, go to all the agricultural worlds in the inner ring and spread viruses and toxins." "Our toxins cannot achieve the effect of Nurgle's plague, my lord." "I know, but when you go, you must let people see you, see you spreading toxins, understand?"
Navak was silent for a moment, but nodded and agreed without hesitation. The assassin would not doubt it. Vito then raised his second finger and pointed at the twin sisters, "Delta, Beta, lead your assassins and the Inquisition fleet to those agricultural worlds and interfere with their psychic communications. I authorize you to use the Inquisition's equipment."
The twin sisters put their hands behind their backs at the same time, tiptoed like ballerinas, and then nodded gracefully. Vito then pointed his third finger at Hunter, and the Vindicare assassin quietly raised his head and waited.
"You and your assassins, lead the stormtroopers to attack the orbits of all agricultural worlds and destroy their space elevators. No one in orbit or below can communicate normally."
"What about the ships?" "That's not your job. Just do one thing. Lucy, can you paralyze the electronic communication networks of five or six planets by yourself?" Vito looked at the young female assassin with pink hair. She nodded without thinking and said nothing, but it was enough to convey the meaning.
Vito smiled, raised his head and raised his fourth finger. "Your mission is to paralyze the communication of those planets to the outside world, especially Macragge. Of course, they have to report the appearance of Nurgle believers."
Lucy nodded slightly, her pink hair sliding gently on her cheeks. Vito smiled with satisfaction, and then pointed five fingers together at the three people of the Tribunal, "And you, the representatives of the Tribunal, are here Once word of the followers of Nurgle comes out, it's time for you to clean up the agricultural world, in the style of the Eastern War Zone."
Extermination order, he was issuing an extermination order to those five or six agricultural worlds, which meant the death and injury of tens of billions of people, but Judge Beria nodded without any hesitation. He would not question the decision of the Supreme Master. Eldridge is a member of the Mechanicus, and he is not a philanthropic member of the Mechanicus, so he doesn't care even more.
Only half of his body has been metalized, but he still retains his humanity. Trench frowned, "Sir, if you allow me, can you tell us why you do this? Destroying all the agricultural worlds in the inner ring will lead to Ultra The Great Famine of Ramah.”
"If they seek independence." Vito raised his finger and pointed at Trench with a smile on his face. "Without the agricultural world, of course they will have famine, but with the empire, it won't be a problem. Other peripheral agriculture The world will transport the food they need here, but if they leave the Empire..."
Vito smiled, and Eva also smiled after understanding. This is a good plan. If Ultramar stays in the empire and fights for the empire, they will get all the supplies they need, but if they break away If we become independent, a horrific famine will occur in the blink of an eye, and hundreds of billions of people in the entire galaxy will starve to death.
In this way, even if there are vested interest groups that want to resist the empire's submission and choose independence and resistance, they will be overthrown by the hungry people. The new government will happily submit to the empire and get the food, water and all daily necessities they need. .
In this way, Ultramar has no choice from top to bottom. It is death to surrender to Chaos, and it is death to seek independence. The empire does not even need to send troops to suppress them, and each planet will fight for the only remaining food. If a war breaks out, every planet will be instantly killed.
In order to avoid such a fate, they have no choice but to use their industrial capacity to join other similar planets, exchange loyalty and service for what they need, and fight for the Empire, whether they want it in their hearts or not.
For most people, the destruction of those worlds was also caused by Nurgle believers. In this tragic plague war, who would doubt one or two of the dozens of planets with the same fate? The remaining people will only know that it was Chaos that caused all this, and in the end, they vented their grievances against the Empire on the enemies of the Empire.
Vito laughed, looked at Eva and smiled, then raised his head and looked at Trench. He briefly explained the above logic and then looked at the captain, "Now, are there any questions? Lord Captain."
He was indeed the founder of the Tribunal, cold and cruel, but absolutely correct and rational. Trench couldn't help but nodded, showing an expression of approval and recognition, "I understand, sir."
"Very good, just do the rest. Eva, I have other tasks for you." Vito looked at the female assassin leader, and she nodded silently to show that she was listening, "Use your skills." Lisas’ poison-making talent, do you still remember how to make the “God-killing Poison”?”, “Remember.” “Make a bottle, and I’ll tell you how to do it later.”
"Koz." Vito looked at the bat in the darkness. He slowly walked out and appeared in the light in front of everyone. The stormtroopers around him immediately retreated subconsciously and clenched their hands. After triggering the trigger, the assassins also raised their hands and subconsciously switched to a fighting stance.
But Curze didn't look at them. He just looked straight at Vito. The Stormtroopers looked at each other, and the assassins were silent. After a moment, Curze raised his head and looked at Vito, "Who do you want me to kill?", " Do what you do, go to the home planets of those idiots, and make those potential traitors aware of the cost of betrayal. I believe you, you know how to do it."
Cozz clenched his fists, and the bat claws on the back of his hands instantly slipped off, and lightning flew on them. He slowly raised his hands and looked at the pair of claws, "They will realize it."
"I guess you prefer to act alone.", "That's right.", "That's it, don't worry about the negative impact, the bigger the better, I'll take care of the rest." Vito smiled and looked at Coz He lit up his claws and held them in front of him.
He looked at the trial court with his hands behind his back, and raised his head with everyone in the assassination hall, "Everyone is mortal.", "Everyone must serve.", "For the empire.", "For the empire."
