Hammer 40k: Far East Storm

Chapter 355: Letter from a Friend (1/2)

Various emergency signals for help are surging in the psychic network in the galaxy. Top-secret letters written with special sealing wax and seals one after another and circuit boards storing encrypted emails follow the ships and secret personnel. Running from planet to planet, those top-secret words that had never been spoken were whispered between lips and ears.

The rebellion has been confirmed to have occurred, and there is a tendency to expand. All kinds of terrifying rumors are like wildfire on the autumn grassland, spreading in the hearts of the citizens of the empire. Here, loyalty is used as fuel, while doubts and suspicions As black smoke rises in people's hearts, the evil wind of rumors is blown to all parts of the Far East. At this time, even the High Command and the Elder Council of the Star Wars have understood the urgency of the gaffe. In the Far East, no one can easily stand aside and watch the joke.

It was not the large-scale rebellion that frightened these high-ranking figures. Thirteen worlds have raised rebel flags at the same time, which is nothing to these adults. The empire has a huge territory in the galaxy. The empire has conquered countless planets. Looking up at the stars, the stars twinkling every moment. It is the property of the empire. A mere thirteen worlds are just a drop in the ocean to the vast empire with the Milky Way as its territory. A rebellion of this scale is not a real threat at all.

And for now, it seems that these thirteen worlds do not have the military power to threaten other galaxies. It is not that these worlds lack military capabilities, but that for the huge galaxy, inter-galactic combat itself is not a simple matter. , the rebels may be able to control a few ships that can sail across the galaxy, but definitely not too many. As long as the Imperial Navy remains in the hands of the Empire and maintains their loyalty to the God-Emperor, then the Empire can ensure that the rebellion is only Things that happen on a small scale.

What really worried them were those who started the rebellion. The officials of the Tribunal already had very high powers. If these people wanted to use their powers to win over a group of people, it would be a simple matter. Everyone There is a huge and complicated network behind the inquisitors, not to mention those who were once aloof and powerful. These people can now make thirteen worlds betray the empire within a period of time, so as long as they are given more time , they may not be able to stir up bigger waves.

Moreover, they are still members of the Tribunal who have a lot of inside information. I am afraid that only the Holy Emperor knows these unspeakable secrets.

That's not all that's causing headaches for the Face Man. These thirteen worlds have clearly expressed their wishes. They will no longer continue to pay taxes to the Empire, and at the same time they will no longer accept the rule of the current decadent regime of the Empire. They also proposed, As long as the imperial government accepts a series of reform measures, restricts the rights of the Inquisition, and guarantees that it will not retaliate against the rebels, then they will return to the embrace of the empire. Such a statement is very popular with the lower class people. Influence, it has been widely recognized in many worlds.

This is not a strange statement. Every rebel can find more better statements than these. But this time the rebels are a little different. That is, they say that they are not betraying the empire, but just opposing Today's government is nothing but the rebels claiming they remain loyal to His Divine Majesty the Emperor. They want everyone to promote a terrible idea, that is, the God-Emperor represents the empire, and the two are separated from the current political power, and they are not one.

For those in power, this is an extremely terrifying thought. Whether it is the senior officials of the Far East or the old men of the solar system, they do not want to hear such heinous remarks spread within the country.

But things have happened, and there is a tendency to expand. The traitors this time are all elites trained by the empire. They naturally understand the power of the empire, and they cannot fight against the empire just relying on this current force. But they are also very clear about the process of handling the rebellion, perhaps more familiar than those who took over their work, so they are very aware of the weaknesses of the empire. For those who really started the rebellion, the Far East region belongs to the empire. They are very familiar with how weak the empire's rule is in this huge star area. No one knows how many governors of the empire these people have made secret agreements with before they clearly expressed their betrayal. But now , these people became enemies of the empire, and this was just the beginning.

The flames of rebellion have been ignited, and wise men have been able to predict the worst future and fear it.

They must be afraid, because the huge empire is united by its powerful deterrence. If we talk about the system of the empire, then within the solar system, the supreme government of the empire can still maintain a strong voice, but outside this range, this voice will gradually weaken. In the Far East, it has already Weak and almost powerless.

The distant empire chose a more thorough feudal system. The governors of the empire can do whatever they want within their own planet. They can establish any society of any system they want at will. Slavery? Feudalism? Whatever you want, the empire won't care, and it can't control so much.

Such a system has a disadvantage, that is, if the central government is strong, the empire can barely maintain a unified state. Once the central government shows a trace of fatigue and weakness, the entire empire will fall apart in the various selfishness of the princes.

The flames must be extinguished, all the traitors of the Tribunal must be killed, the situation must be controlled, and things must be prevented from further deteriorating. The rebellion must be completely extinguished quickly, the rebels must be given the most severe punishment, the empire's tough attitude must be demonstrated, and those with ulterior motives must be deterred.

After the letter of accountability with harsh wording was sent from the Earth in the solar system, the high-level officials in the Far East had no choice. They had no choice but to go to war.

At this time, Li received a letter from a master in the Tribunal. The letter came from Li's acquaintance, Edward Jenner.

Edward Jenner is a master in the Tribunal. In the Far East Tribunal, "Master" is a title that lacks actual authority but has a very high status. Edward Jenner, who is called a master, does not hold certain positions with great power. He is just a judge. Although his position is not high, he has a very high reputation in the Far East Tribunal. Edward Jenner is a good person. He is willing to help anyone in trouble, and his powerful spiritual ability makes most of the staff of the Tribunal keep awe of him.

Very early, probably in the sixth year after Li returned to the Far East, Li met this master Edward Jenner. This master who enjoys a very high reputation in the Tribunal is actually a master member of another secret society in the Tribunal-the Shantites faction.

Like the Istvania faction that is now under great attack, the Shantites faction is also a secret society in the Tribunal. Both of them are secret societies and have a common feature, that is, their ideas are equally dangerous and terrible, and are opposed by most people.

In fact, in the eyes of most people, the ideas of the Shantites faction are more terrible than those of the Istvania faction. Those who agree with the ideas of these two factions and are willing to put them into practice are all lunatics among lunatics.

The Shantites faction has been working hard to uncover the unknown veil of chaos, and many of them even tried to enslave the devil. It's not that this is impossible, but for most people, they are moving too fast. In the eyes of most people, this is like a genius child making a nuclear weapon that can explode at home. Regardless of their intentions, the process is extremely dangerous, and there are only a few who can really succeed. Once they fail, the harm they cause is often much greater than those who hold disasters to build a country.

Edward Jenner, a dangerous good man, is actually an important master-level figure in the Shantites faction. After he learned that there might be a demon in Li's body, he took the initiative to help Li cover up this situation, and used his and the power of the Shantites faction to help Li in the court of justice, so that he has always been safely out of the sight of the court of justice.

Of course, such help is not free. Edward Jenner occasionally takes the initiative to follow Li, watching his every move, just like observing experimental animals, carefully observing him and making records.

For Li, such efforts are negligible.

So Li has always maintained a good relationship with Edward Jenner. The two occasionally communicate briefly through psychic energy. Edward Jenner will also inform Li of some non-sensitive information and the overall situation in the Far East through psychic communication in a timely manner. For Li, this is an excellent source of intelligence.

As for this matter, as early as a month ago, Li received a warning from Edward Jenner. This person in the Tribunal had long known the direction of the matter, but now he unexpectedly sent a secret letter through an ordinary postman.

Is there something wrong again?

Li did not delve into the identity of the postman. He returned to the office and first checked the red seal on the letter. The secret mark of Edward Jenner was imprinted with a faint spiritual energy on the special seal. This was a simple spiritual energy seal. Anyone who did not know the special method and opened the letter privately would cause the letter to burn out in an instant.

He chanted the spiritual energy secret words with spiritual energy in his mouth and drew a strange symbol with his hand. The seal itself made a light snap and then broke. Li then opened the envelope and began to read the letter from Edward Jenner.

Hello, my friend, good day:

I am sorry to write you such a letter so presumptuously, but I thought about it carefully for a long time, and I could only find the only answer. At this time, I have no other way. I am in a desperate situation and can only ask you to extend your pleading hand and ask for your help.

You also know that the Far East is now in a war, and despicable traitors are fanning the flames in various worlds in the Far East. Some are ignorant archons who have been waiting for a long time. Their greed and stupidity have led them to a road of no return; while some are exploited because of the ignorance of their people. Although they are both rebellions, as long as you distinguish them carefully, you can understand that their reasons are different. Although I understand that my words now are tantamount to exonerating traitors, such words, except to you, my friend, who else can I tell? Please allow me to explain a few words to you about the rebellion in my hometown, the Iron Islands. If you agree with my ideas after reading this letter, then I sincerely beg you to do something for my hometown.

The Iron Islands is a water world. There are only a few lands in the whole world. It is better to say that there are large islands than lands. In addition to the large islands, there are small islands all over the world. The continent of the whole world seems to be broken into pieces of small islands. In addition to the islands, there is boundless blue. The whole world is an ocean except for the islands. This is a water world, and it is also my hometown.

In the past days, the Iron Islands were ruled by the Greyjoy family. This is a stupid and barbaric family. I can say with certainty that all the people living in the Iron Islands, except Greyjoy and the nobles around him, have never been happy. He cruelly ruled the people. For thousands of years, this family has continued the slavery system in their world. Ordinary people live like livestock, while Greyjoy enjoys everything he gets openly.

Countless times, the people wanted to resist Greyjoy's rule, but they all failed in front of Greyjoy's Lord Guard. The best weapon of these slaves was just a spear. How could they defeat Greyjoy's Lord Guard who was armed to the teeth with their flesh and blood?

Many times, I wanted to use means to help my miserable hometown get rid of the Greyjoy family. Yes, I have this ability. I am the judge of the Inquisition. I have a lot of power. I can easily wipe out the Greyjoy family, but as you know, I have many enemies. The Inquisition is not a harmonious big family. There are malicious eyes everywhere. I must be careful, because I do not belong to myself alone. I am the judge of the entire empire. I cannot affect the empire because of my personal affairs.

And now, even without my help, the Greyjoy family has been expelled. The traitors of the Inquisition helped the poor people of the Iron Islands. They were given sufficient weapons and training, as well as secret docks and warships. The slaves successfully expelled their masters, and the empire's archons were killed. However, the Greyjoy family did not all fall into the rebellion. The heir is waiting for the empire to do him justice. He can wait because the driving force behind this rebellion is the traitors of the Inquisition.

I sympathize with those slaves because I was once one of them. From an emotional point of view, I support this rebellion because they did what I always wanted to do but could not do, expelling the Greyjoy family. But at the same time, I also understand very well that their end will be extremely miserable. When the army arrives with the wrath of the Holy Emperor, the traitors will have nowhere to hide. The iron law of the empire will crush all these poor people, and the Greyjoy family will continue their rule.

When writing this letter, I have said to myself countless times that this is the right thing to do, justice has been served, and the authority of the Archon cannot be violated, but my heart tells me that this is not right. If this is the case, then nothing will change, countless ordinary people who yearn for freedom will die, and slaves will live a more miserable life.

At this time, I thought of you, my friend. You are the leader of the powerful Star Wars Corps. You have the bravest warriors in the universe. If you go to the Iron Islands with the will of the Empire, then everything will be different. You can complete the task assigned to you by the Empire, bring order and the laws of the Empire to the Iron Islands, and let it return to the rule of the Empire. Maybe you can do more to help me and the people of the Iron Islands regain their freedom and help them get rid of the Greyjoy family.

: If you are willing to extend your hand of friendship, please say "I agree" to the messenger, you will get virtue and praise. Of course, in addition to this, there are many, many specific matters. We can discuss them in detail after we meet.

May the sacred emperor always protect you,

Your eternal friend, Edward Jenner.

Li closed his eyes. He didn't want to know the truth of the things described in the letter. Maybe it was true, maybe it was one-sided, but it didn't matter.

What was important was that the other party had made things very clear. Edward Jenner hoped that he could lead the war group to the Iron Islands to quell the rebellion, but not by ordinary methods. He didn't kill all the rebels as usual, but did the opposite, killing all the former Archon family, the Greyjoy family.

This was the only way to get the Iron Islands out of the Greyjoy family's rule. As long as the Greyjoy bloodline was still circulating and the surname still existed, then this planet still belonged to the Greyjoy family in the laws of the empire.

When the Greyjoy family dies out, only a new consul can inherit the position, either elected by the people or appointed by the Empire. As long as Lee and Edward Jenner are present, they represent the Empire, and the new consul will be decided by the two of them.

Edward Jenner wants to launch a coup, or maybe he wants to get the Iron Islands.
