Plunder the Heavens from Warhammer

Chapter 221 Assassination!

Warning Star, Planetary Governor's Office.

"The massacre of 35 civilians, the bloody suppression, the release of the aliens..." Lucyanne described yesterday's situation one by one, as if describing an ordinary thing: "The seven nobles jointly appealed, but the Storm Leader of the Antrel Lions, the Political Commissar of the th Regiment of the Astra Militarum, the Inquisitor, the Ministry of Justice... Sir Alvin, you are really brave."

After stating the above "crimes", she looked expressionlessly at Alvin, who seemed to be completely unconcerned, and said word by word: "Sir Alvin, how do you think... should I judge your behavior?"

"Insects? Heretics?"

Alvin picked up the teacup nonchalantly, took a sip, and smiled, "You can judge me however you want, but... I did solve a problem for you, didn't I?"

If filing a complaint is useful, what is the point of having rights?

In the past, he looked down on the nobles, and he still does so now, except that their identities have been reversed.

"Well, I have to admit that you did solve the problem of the cult." Seeing that he was unmoved by any persuasion, Lucyanne was too lazy to pursue the matter any further and swept the pile of papers suing Alvin into the trash can.

Then, she clasped her hands together, leaned back slightly, and leaned back on the chair. She seemed to be relaxed, but her tone was actually full of wit: "Sir Alvin, I have shown you my sincerity, so next... it's your turn."

She had spent so much effort to completely suppress yesterday's riot, but it was not for the sake of doing good things.

Among the 50,000 civilians who were brutally suppressed, some were private property of certain nobles. Otherwise, did she really think that those nobles had nothing better to do and came to her to complain?

She paid a lot to deal with those nobles.

Now, it's time to cash in the benefits!
Looking at Lucy's eyes, Alvin was calm and said with a faint smile: "I have seen your sincerity. Three hundred thousand tons of pure water will arrive at the alert star from the space orbit tomorrow. I hope you will be satisfied."

"Three hundred thousand tons?"

Lucyennie frowned, obviously not very satisfied with the number, and said in a somewhat unhappy tone: "This is different from what we agreed on. Three hundred thousand is too little!"

"Not a few, Your Excellency the Governor."

Alvin raised his eyelids slightly, his expression calm: "Three hundred thousand tons of pure water is enough for the nobles of the upper nest to squander for a while. Taking into account the circulation... it is even enough for the civilians of the middle and lower nests to use for a year."

He could see through Lucy's plan at a glance. She just wanted to raise the price, but unfortunately... the person she met was Alvin, a scavenger from the Lower Nest. He could eat anything except being at a disadvantage.

As if she understood what he meant, Lucy said impatiently, "Stop beating around the bush. What do you want? Three hundred thousand tons of pure water is not enough. I want at least ten million tons!"

According to her estimation, at least 10 million tons of pure water resources must flow into the Warning Star in order to guarantee the interests of the Shangchao nobles, and then be sure to regain some rights from the state religion and Huangquan No. 8!

"In addition to the advanced life-extending surgery we have discussed, I hope to hire some veterans from the Astra Militarum, including complete armaments." Alvin finally stated his purpose.

How can training be faster than direct hiring?

The Astra Militarum troops on the Sentinel Planet are the elite among the elite, and many of them are even retreated from the dark side of the Empire. This is 'Captain America'!

He didn't dare to think about being a stormtrooper, and it would not be his turn to retire.

It is a tradition in the Empire for Rogue Merchants to hire retired Astra Militarum soldiers. As for those currently in service... wouldn't it be enough to just retire them?
As long as it's done properly, there won't be any problems.

Lucienne did not think there was anything wrong with this matter. In order to regain Agamemnon's power, she simply let him go: "How much do you want? Within my rights, I can give you at most one regiment, no more..."

She didn't say the rest of the words, but the implied meaning was that if she said more, it would be risky and would most likely be discovered by the empire.

"No problem, one group is enough."

Alvin almost died of laughter. Ten million tons of pure water in exchange for a regiment of elite soldiers, including armaments. This deal was simply too good to be true!
Of course, not everyone can do this deal.

Everyone knows that Alert Star is short of water, but the question is... who can brave the subspace storm and carry water all the way to Alert Star? If they have that time, they might as well transport more troops!
So this is a deal that only Alvin can make! "When can 10 million tons of water be delivered?"

Lucy asked anxiously. The situation on Alert Star was becoming increasingly tense. The neighboring Hongbei District was being besieged by Genestealers and Orcs. She had to seize this opportunity to seize the rights to Huangquan No. 8.

Otherwise, if you miss this opportunity, you will miss it forever!
“It will be delivered within a week.”

In fact, Alvin could have sent her 10 million tons of water right away, but considering that it had to be concealed, he deliberately delayed the time.

"Okay, then one week!"

Lucien calculated the time and nodded.

"Then I wish us a happy transaction, Your Excellency the Governor."

After completing today's goal, Alvin was worried about Hilda at home, so he hurriedly got up and said goodbye.

"Oh, by the way, there is something I want to remind you of."

Before leaving, Lucyanne knocked on the table and said without raising her head, "Remember to be careful when you go out recently... I'm not sure if anyone will be stupid enough to attack you."

Although a little surprised, Alvin still nodded: "I will be careful to stay safe. Thank you for your reminder, Governor Lucyenni."

"No need to thank me."

Lucyenni looked up at him expressionlessly. "I just want to tell you that, whether from Agamemnon's perspective or from my personal perspective, although you are a little arrogant, the grudge between us is not that big. I just want to remind you... don't fall into the trap."

The implicit meaning of this sentence is that the Agamemnon family is also afraid that Alvin will be assassinated and the target will be directed at Agamemnon. Who makes them the most suspicious?

The transaction of purified water is top secret.

Therefore, in the eyes of most outsiders, although Agamemnon had met with Varsius, the relationship between the two was still very tense. Once an accident occurred, they would be the first suspects. This was why Lucienne reminded him.

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency the Governor."

It’s not that Alvin can’t understand. Although there are restrictions by rules, there are always some stupid people.

Besides, the missing Scott Coleman and the son of Vannadan have always been a thorn in his heart. Who knows what conspiracy Tzeentch, the sixth one, is planning?

Coming out of the Governor's Mansion, the Great Rift was still hovering in the sky, emitting a strange purple light, which made people feel vaguely uneasy.

Alvin lowered his head to think, and when he was about to get on the hovercraft, he suddenly felt a burst of burning heat from the pendant on his chest. The pain of his skin being burned made him stop subconsciously.

"What's wrong, young master?" Elsa looked at Alvin in confusion, who suddenly stopped and was about to ask.

Boom——! ! !
The violent explosion blew the entire hover car directly into the sky, and a terrifying scorching air wave swept over.

Elsa reacted very quickly and pressed Alvin under her, but her face and skin were cut by the flying debris and blood flowed down.

Assassination?!
Alvin's eyes widened, and he was completely confused.

It can’t be that unlucky, right?

I had just been reminded to be careful when going out, but as soon as I walked out of the Governor's Mansion, I encountered an assassination?
