"The hive city is indeed as recorded in the data, efficient, large, and densely populated."
Alexander, wearing a small piece of imperial armor, walked past the dignitaries. Behind them, nearly five hundred semi-armed men knelt.
"Your Highness, this is what our Taligata family should do. It is the sacred mission given to us by the Emperor."
Taligata said and was about to stand up, but the power sword of the imperial army was placed on his left shoulder, forcing him down.
In the meeting with the eldest son of the empire, these guys were not honest. They brought a group of security officers with guns to show their force to whom to show. Although the Imperial Guards were indifferent to humanity, they were by no means fools.
"I came from the lower level, and everyone cheered, but the lower level below the lower level, don't you think they belong to the empire? Or are the people at the lower level not citizens of the empire?"
Alexander raised his head and admired the exquisite reliefs on the wall. Although his tone was gentle, he was as strong as the emperor.
"this..."
Tarigata suddenly choked up and couldn't make up his mind for a moment.
He turned sideways to the fat man next to him who was in charge of the lower industrial area. The fat man shifted the pressure and looked at the general police officer behind him.
Without waiting for these people to communicate with each other, Alexander directly ordered with an unquestionable tone.
"An asylum has been set up in the industrial zone, and children under the age of 16 from the lower class have been uniformly sent to the asylum for education. Those gangsters and war gangs have been incorporated into the Astra Militarum on the spot, and sinners involved in human life have been organized into the atonement camp. They will follow me on an expedition in the near future."
"Your will is my mission, Your Highness."
Taligata lowered his head and responded in a low voice. As an astropath, he could clearly sense that if he said no, his family would have no future.
As for incorporating these gangsters into the recently reorganized Astra Militarum, Taligata didn't feel the slightest bit guilty.
"Who is in charge of the underground pit arena?"
Facing the eldest son of the empire, who looked like he was raising an army to accuse him, the dignitaries lowered their heads and no one dared to answer. It was like a roll call in class, but the result was that whoever was called would die.
Within a minute, the eyes of these dignitaries were tacitly focused on the lower-level Sheriff, there had to be a scapegoat.
"It's me, Your Highness."
The voice came from behind the trembling General Sheriff, a one-eyed veteran.
"Do you know any information about the Thunder Warriors in the arena?" Alexander walked up to the veteran.
"Know."
"Now I have a task for you. Follow the Emperor's angels to bring them back. The Empire needs them."
Alexander patted the veteran on the shoulder and helped him up, and the Astartes Guards came forward to lead him out of the church, and silence returned to the hall again.
Alexander walked slowly in the church, admiring the unique religious culture of the Warhammer world. The emperor's portrait was indeed majestic, but he always felt that something was missing from it.
Now that the entire human empire is in a war, all Alexander's actions must be closer to war.
Even if he is saving the people at the bottom of the hive city and winning their hearts and minds, he should show that he is doing it for the Great Crusade.
If Alexander showed a merciful side and two completely different voices appeared in the entire empire, one calling for war and the other calling for peace, Alexander would inevitably stand on the opposite side of the emperor.
Even if this was not Alexander's original intention, the war-weary people would spontaneously encourage him to make such noises. This is the general trend from all planets.
The Emperor definitely thought about this problem, so he reserved Malcador as a power buffer, but he did not expect that he would be pressed on the Golden Throne by the Four Gods, and Malcador died as a result.
People hated war, and there was a brief vacuum in power, which was then occupied by the Council of the High Lords of Terra and the Ecclesiarchy.
From then on, the situation in the entire empire began to spiral out of control, leading to a 10,000-year dark age.
The Emperor also knew that the Primarchs, who were obviously flawed and arrogant, could not serve as a buffer zone of power, because they could not handle the conflicts between the Astartes and the people equally.
How could a demigod treat mortals from an equal perspective?
Just like Westerners treat black slaves, even if there is no jump in life level, they treat each other as livestock.
Not to mention the powerful original body that has undergone many transformations and has a lifespan of thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
Therefore, Alexander, a human heroic spirit from the 2K era with a red education, has been given an important task by the Emperor since his appearance.
The eldest son of the emperor was a person who was trained as a prince in the feudal era and could inherit the empire.
The first time he came into contact with power outside the palace, Alexander suddenly figured out his position in his heart, and he clearly understood the significance of his identity.
But it is still unclear whether this kind of sobriety was set in advance by the emperor.
Alexander walked around the church and left directly.
The Imperial Guards specially put on bolt guns and followed closely. In their analysis, this thing was more intimidating than the Guard's Spear in the eyes of the hive's senior officials.
Before the heavy door behind Alexander was closed, you could clearly hear sighs coming from inside.
For the big shots in the hive, if you want to control them, you have to let them know whose hands their destiny is in. If you want to drive them, you have to let them know what it means to hang their lives by a thread and what it means to punish the people.
For the lower-class empire citizens, in order to stimulate their action and enthusiasm, they must show themselves to be amiable, fair, and kind.
For those at the bottom, try to ensure that their children can survive.
For the sake of the survival of mankind, the Emperor has no energy to pay attention to these small things, but often the embankment of thousands of miles collapses in the misunderstandings and conflicts in daily life.
"Juster, let's go, let's continue training in the afternoon."
Alexander gained a lot from this trip. After two thousand years of feudal influence, this was the first time for him to truly feel what the art of imperial control was.
Amidst the roar of the engine, the Stormbird transport plane flew to the palace under the escort of four Thunderhawk fighters, while another fighter plane flew in the opposite direction to the slum pit arena.
...
"Andre, you betrayed us, you actually trusted that butcher."
Four muscular warriors were tied together, and the one-eyed veteran Andre stood in front of them with a cigarette in his mouth.
"No, I just want to destroy this place."
"You bastard, you still want to carry out an attack on Terra. Even if you are caught for experimentation, I will report you."
The strong man was originally very calm when he was caught. He was just being used as waste by the emperor, but when he heard what Andre said, he immediately struggled to run out.
"You are the bastard, reckless man. What I want to destroy is the lower class. His Royal Highness the eldest son has issued an order. From now on, there will be no more lower class people."
"You are no longer needed in the duel field, and the war gang will no longer cause trouble for you. Soldiers should return to their own battlefield."
Andre finished his curse in one breath, took two strong puffs of cigarette and silently praised the Emperor and His Highness in his heart.
The sound of bolters outside the window was as dense as the sound of rain. The fellow Astartes went to destroy the lairs of gangs and warbands.
The mortal auxiliary army helped collect these criminals, the orphanage collected orphans, and a few children with family members were taken to the industrial area together.
In just a few hours, what happened in this hive city quickly spread to the entire Terra. After finding out the whole story, other hive cities followed suit and sent the Thunder Warriors hidden in their cities away. Go to the palace.
