Warhammer 40: Saviors Emerging from the Bottom

"Damn, I shouldn't have tried to show off like that."

When Liu Bang stepped forward just now, he was indeed thinking of cleaning up the house and not letting the family's honor be tarnished.

However, he seemed to have overestimated his combat abilities, and when faced with the Fallen Ones' frenzied attacks, he could only dodge and weave in a sorry state.

If things continue like this, it won't be long before he loses his life.

"Wouldn't it be embarrassing to ask for help now?"

Just as Liu Bang was hesitating about whether to seek outside help, the Fallen One's chainsaw sword was already cleaving down towards his forehead.

At that distance and speed, there's no way to avoid it.

"Am I going to die here today?"

Just when Liu Bang was feeling desperate, a thin energy shield blocked the fatal attack.

Immediately afterwards, he raised the hand holding the laser gun and fired a shot at the Fallen's chest.

The laser beam, as thick as an infant's arm, left a wound that pierced through the Fallen's chest.

"This is impossible! This is impossible! I've already given up everything, why can't I still protect the woman I love?"

Just as the Fallen One was gripped by impotent rage, Liu Bang raised his laser gun and fired another laser beam, as thick as a baby's arm, at the Fallen One's head.

Those who have been blessed by Slaanesh can survive without their hearts, but not without their brains.

The degenerate, who had lost half of his brain, collapsed limply to the ground.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, Liu Bang could hardly believe what he was seeing.

"I killed him?"

Suddenly, the image of a man appeared in his mind.

Turning his head, he saw Xiao Yi waving at him with a smile.

"Just as I thought."

Thanks to the efforts of Aetherel and Liu Dan's eldest son, Liu Yi's bloodline was almost completely wiped out.

Apart from himself and Liu Bang, who escaped by sheer luck, almost no one survived.

In other words, the title of governor-general now belongs to Liu Bang, but this did not make him very happy.

Looking at the corpses scattered on the ground, Liu Bang was filled with mixed emotions and didn't know what to say.

As the governor's successor, he had to step forward and take responsibility.

We must not allow the rebellion launched by the Slaanesh Cult to spread to the entire planet.

In the temporary command post at Starport, Liu Yi, unaware of what had happened at Upper Nest, was planning the next attack on the Greenskins.

Most of the Greenskins who invaded Starport have been wiped out, and the remaining ones are hiding in the corners, unable to cause any trouble for the time being.

But this does not mean they have given up the fight.

Even now, greenskins still occasionally emerge from the ruins of the starport and launch attacks on Imperial forces.

Liu Yi couldn't sleep peacefully until he had eliminated all these belligerent aliens; he didn't want to hear the news of the greens returning to the fray one day.

"Your Excellency, here is your coffee."

Upon hearing the adjutant's familiar voice, Liu Yi didn't even turn his head, but simply pointed to the empty space next to the table.

"Put it here."

After placing the coffee on the table, the adjutant did not leave immediately, but stood quietly beside Liu Yi and waited.

"Is there something you need?"

"Your Excellency, I have something important to inform you!"

"Something important?"

Seeing the adjutant's serious tone, Liu Yi's expression immediately became serious.

Has the Greenskin warlords, locked in a chaotic battle on the moon, already decided their victor, or has Xiao Yi failed to live up to his expectations, leading to the Greenskins launching an even larger-scale attack on Nest City?

Just as he was wondering what the problem was, the adjutant took two steps forward and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "You should retire."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yi instantly realized the problem.

"What do you mean?"

He pretended to be confused, as if he didn't understand what the other person meant, but in reality, his right hand had already touched the handle of the laser pistol.

Unfortunately, the opponent was clearly faster, and a strange purple light flashed by.

A beautifully engraved dagger was stuck in Liu Yi's forehead.

A terrifying toxin, enough to kill millions of the empire's inhabitants, spread through his bloodstream, and within seconds, Liu Yi had completely lost his life.

Seeing the Supreme Lord of Zhen Dan lying on the ground, the "adjutant" slowly walked up, stretched out his hand across the philtrum, and checked his breath.

After confirming that Liu Yi was completely dead, he shook his head and said with some emotion, "I didn't expect to kill the governor so easily."

"Thanks to Lady Aetherel, otherwise we wouldn't even know where you were hiding."

An alarm had already sounded in the shadows, and the soldiers on guard outside immediately rushed in with machine guns.

Upon seeing the governor lying on the ground with a dagger stuck in his forehead, and the "adjutant" standing there with a smile on his face, everyone was momentarily at a loss.

For a moment, everyone was at a loss.

Just as they were about to ask what had happened, a familiar voice came from behind them.

"What's going on?"

Another adjutant entered the command room, also carrying a cup of coffee.

The adjutant froze on the spot when he saw the imposter squatting next to the governor's body.

Seeing this, the guards understood what had happened. They raised their laser guns and unleashed hundreds of laser beams at the assassin who had tried to kill the governor.

The assassin did not dodge, but simply opened his arms and quietly accepted his fate.

He already knew the outcome before he took action.

It's all worth it for the sake of the Order.

In order to secure her rightful inheritance, Aetheril not only ordered the Slaanesh Order to massacre the governor's mansion, but also sent an assassin, whom she was supposed to train personally, to assassinate the current governor of Clarity.

She also dispatched an assassin, whom she was supposed to train personally, to assassinate the current Governor-General of Aurora.

To successfully carry out an assassination, the first thing to figure out is where your target is.

Even if the Slaanesh Cult were to rely solely on itself, they might not be able to find the right place even by the end of the war.

But all of this was a piece of cake for Aetherel.

After searching the souls of several people in the know, she immediately determined Liu Yi's location and the security situation around him.

From the assassination attempt to the governor's death, everything seemed quite uneventful.

But every step of the process was meticulously planned by her, and the actor, as the assassin, perfectly carried out his mission.

Seeing the governor who had already passed away on the Golden Throne, the adjutant immediately had the idea of ​​telling his successor the news.

"Do everything you can to block the news. We must not let the news that the Governor has been killed affect the morale of the soldiers on the front lines."

"I will send a message to Lord Liu Dan right away, instructing him to go to Xinggang immediately to take charge of the situation."

"If I find out anyone leaked information about this place, you're all dead!"

"Did you understand?"

"Don't worry, sir! We will never reveal a single word about this place."
