Chapter 390 The Retreat

Chapter 390 The Retreat

"So, what does it feel like to have the ability to kill someone with just a word?" Theseus asked as he drove.

Orina first glanced at her sister, and when she saw that she was silent, she answered Theseus' question.

"It's a pleasant feeling." Olena raised her head. "Originally, only power could drive others, but now I can drive others without power. Although I can only drive people with weak willpower and no anti-psychic power, this is enough."

"That's why the Labor Council prohibited us from leaving the underground facility before the Nuxing Uprising War." Olya said, "They not only used us as a secret weapon to deal with the High Knights, but they also feared our power."

"Heh." Olena sneered, "I have never used my power to drive my working brothers and sisters, but if the parliament had chosen to lock us up in an underground facility for life, that might not have been the case."

Theseus looked at the two sisters in the rearview mirror.

Orina was sitting in the back seat with her legs crossed, her arms folded over her chest, her head held high, looking proud and cool.

Olya huddled in her seat with her legs hugged, leaning against the window and looking at the street outside.

Theseus recalled that when he was a child, Qin Xia taught him to analyze others, using the sisters Orina and Oliya as examples.

Their inner character can be analyzed from their habits and postures.

Theseus still remembers asking himself: "If...if they were supposed to be one person but were split into two, shouldn't their personalities be similar? How can one person have two completely opposite mentalities?"

Qin Xia answered: "Pure people are very rare. People are often self-contradictory, and some people are even more self-contradictory. In the future, you will see people who are extremely self-contradictory and twisted."

Later, Theseus learned about the Primarch Perturabo and found it to be true.

After reminiscing for a while, Theseus suddenly remembered something and suggested, "You guys have been staying on the White Knight, right? I'll take you around when we get back to the Nuceria Administrative Area?"

"Great!" Olya perked up, her excitement evident in her words.

"How can this get better?" Orina rolled her eyes at her sister. "It's just like everywhere except Nusa, full of inequality and disparity. A bunch of idiots watch a few swindlers living a life of luxury, and all they think about is that they can live a life of luxury like those swindlers one day. Stupid and worthless."

"Okay, then I'll take you back to the White Knight and take Olya for a walk." Theseus said with a smile.

Olena was silent for a moment, then looked at her sister and said, "You are not allowed to go."

"Just go."

"How dare you be so rebellious without the wizard's support? If I say you can't go, then you can't go!"

"Just go. And you go with me."

Then Olya suddenly hugged her sister and lingered for a while, while continuing to beg.

Olena nodded.

Theseus, who was sitting in the driver's seat, suddenly began to take Qin Xia into consideration.

It is obviously not easy to get along with them.

……

"Ah!"

Qin Xia suddenly sneezed.

The sneeze was so loud that it scared Luther, who was thinking in the hotel room. Then there was the sound of a wine bottle falling to the ground and breaking.

The drunkard who provided the information about the assassination of Mo Wei glanced at Qin Xia, then looked at the wine bottle. Although he was dissatisfied, he couldn't say anything. He just squatted down and sucked up the wine mixed with the fragments.

After sip, the man stood up and said with a smile: "Sir, you sneezed and broke my bottle of wine."

Qin Xia frowned and suddenly uttered a spell-like sentence: "First think, second curse, third chant."

"What do you mean?" Luther asked puzzledly.

"The number of sneezes means something." Qin Xia smiled and said, "If you sneeze once, someone is thinking of you. If you sneeze twice, someone is scolding you. If you sneeze three times, someone is talking about you."

Luther frowned slightly and blinked: "At least no one scolded you just now... Is this accurate?"

"Metaphysics." Qin Xia smiled mysteriously, "If you believe it, it exists. If you don't believe it, it doesn't exist."

"No wonder I always sneezed once or three times when I left Caliban." Luther frowned and recalled, "It turns out that the people of Caliban were thinking about me and talking about me."

The man took out a new bottle of wine from the wine cabinet and sat down at the table: "It shouldn't be that accurate, right?"

"Why do you think it's inaccurate?" Qin Xia raised his eyebrows, "Because you always sneeze twice?"

The man was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Qin Xia and Luther looked at each other and laughed.

Qin Xia then used his psychic vision to check the outside world, and then immediately became serious: "Mo Wei is dead."

"So fast?" The man couldn't believe it, but the Lord of the White Knight didn't seem like a man who talked nonsense... except for the metaphysical meaning of the number of sneezes, so he believed it.

However, Qin Xia still put his hand on the man's head so that he could see the situation of the building where Mo Wei was.

The fire there had been put out, leaving only a large group of people surrounding the building, and a priest was interrogating everyone who ran out of the building one by one.

After questioning him in every possible way and getting no useful information, the priest cursed, "Some damned thing must have sold Mo Wei's information."

After seeing this scene, the man suddenly sneezed: "A-choo! Ah... ah." Qin Xia, who helped him hold back the second sneeze with his psychic power, moved his hand away: "You're welcome."

"It's time for your master to take action," Luther said. "Make this matter bigger and speed up the conflict. It would be best if important high-ranking officials from the empire could arrive on Dawn Star tomorrow to start discussing the real issues."

Luther repeated what Qin Xia said before the assassination of Mo Wei began.

He was really anxious. Although he seemed calm and composed every day he spent on Dawn Star, he was actually worried that one day when he was walking on the road, Ryan would suddenly jump out and yell and drag him away.

The faster the conflict progresses, the faster Luther can complete his involvement in the conflict before Ryan sends someone or arrives in person, and then let Qin Xia help him deal with things on Caliban.

The man immediately nodded in agreement.

Just as Qin Xia was about to open his mouth to give some more instructions, a loud roar suddenly came into the room, and all the glass in the room shattered.

The three of them went to the balcony together to check the situation.

On the street below the hotel, residents left their houses with shattered windows and walked out into the street, talking and looking in the direction of the sound.

Qin Xia saw that on the confrontation line not far away, smoke was billowing from the top of a bunker on his side's position.

Meanwhile, on the Imperial side, a cannon was being reloaded.

Apparently, the Empire fired a cannonball at the fortress built by the Iron Warriors.

While observing, another shell landed on the bunker.

After two calibrations, all the artillery on the Empire's positions readjusted their angles and bombarded the fortresses built by the Iron Warriors.

Those operating the artillery carried out a round of bombardment with the assistance of the Mechanicus priests and a large number of servitors. Their artillery skills were extremely accurate, and 80% of the shells fell on the bunker.

The shells only blew away a few pieces of the bunker built by the Iron Warriors.

This is obviously deliberate.

Qin Xia gave orders to the World Eater sergeant in charge of that position, and then the artillery there began to bombard the Imperial position.

The same artillery technique was extremely accurate, bombarding the bunkers indiscriminately.

"It seems my master doesn't need to do anything. Mo Wei's death is enough to make them lose their temper." The man sneered while holding the bottle of wine, "But they dare not really start a civil war, so they use this method to demonstrate."

After saying that, the drunkard picked up the bottle, pointed it at the bunkers that were bombarding each other and only dropping some debris in the bombardment, laughed a few times, and took a big gulp.

Luther felt uncomfortable seeing that this guy, who was obviously from the Empire, was gloating to such an extent.

Those Imperials on Caliban were probably just like him... treating Caliban as a tool, a chessboard in a conspiracy. Luther thought so.

So he said, "Are you really from the Empire, not pretending?"

"My Lord, I am happy for the Empire." The man took another sip of wine and laughed. "As you can see, the Imperial War Council is just such an organization. It is fragile and chaotic. No one knows what their functions are. In essence, this organization is just a temporary tool. It is a temporary thing in a temporary period of time."

"They are unable to take the right actions. They were somewhat useful when they were forced into action at the beginning of the Great Crusade, but now their only function is to slow down the progress of the Great Crusade."

"A new institution will replace them and the empire will become even stronger, so I am happy from the bottom of my heart."

The man raised the bottle and handed it to Luther.

"The prelude to the War Council's disastrous defeat has begun. Let us celebrate their retreat while celebrating the Empire, okay? Even if we are not on the same side, we at least have the same interests for now."

Luther remained silent.

The man raised the bottle to Qin Xia again: "Drink this bottle of wine with me, and toast to your Nukeria's partial victory in this conflict!"

Qin Xia leaned over the railing and said without looking back: "This is not a staged victory. We still have to do one more thing."

The man shrugged and smiled, drank the wine in the bottle, and then opened his mouth to say something, but before he could say anything, he suddenly turned and left.

A moment later, when the man came back, a new piece of news came into Qin Xia's ears.

"My master said you know what to do next. He asked you to do as you wish. He will arrive at Dawnstar with another person."

"They will arrive at Dawnstar on the pretext of mediating the conflict."

"Anything can be discussed then."

After saying that, the man waited quietly for Qin Xia's response.

Qin Xia looked at the group of bunkers standing under bombing on the positions of both sides not far away, and spoke slowly.

"Tell the seal holder."

"On behalf of Nuceria, I welcome the Seal Holder to come to Nuceria to serve as Prime Minister. Just as he sent his servant to meet me, he can find a way out in Nuceria."

Hearing the word "Seal Bearer", Luther suddenly looked at the drunkard who was jumping for joy.

The man smiled awkwardly.

"My Lord... I believe the Master will be happy with this proposal, but I also believe that he will ask me to refuse it on his behalf."
