Warhammer: Empire Reboot

Physical reality is more useful than preaching.

The first phase of the transfer in East Tolia continued until dusk.

This is only the core security zone.

Many more civilians are hiding in collapsed floors, old pipes, underground storage areas, and closed stations.

The search for the cornerstone sequence will continue.

Those who can survive, please move on.

The fewer people there are on the watchdog planet, the less pressure there is on clean water, less pressure on food, less risk of riots, and less hiding place for commoner princes.

The Agrippina sector will have an additional workforce.

Human empires cannot function solely on suicide squads.

Humanity must continue to live.

The rising sun was cut into a dull gray edge by the polluted clouds.

A little girl stands in front of the static field, holding her mother's hand, looking up at the tower.

She couldn't see Lawson clearly, only a figure with dark gold wings.

"Mom, is that an emperor?"

The mother was so frightened that she immediately covered her mouth.

The adjacent cornerstone sequence corrected, "That is the Lord of the Seal."

The little girl asked softly, "Where is he taking us?"

The cornerstone sequence answered: "A place where one can live."

Blue light illuminates.

The family disappeared in Eastern Tolia.

Lawson looked at the empty transfer platform and chuckled softly.

…………

The blood in the Saint Harbor council hall hadn't even been wiped dry when the Bi'an battle group had already begun their work.

Chapter 44, The Judgment, stands beneath the dome of the archives of the old Aquilalia Parliament.

This place contains nearly three thousand years of noble genealogy records, marriage documents, inheritance lawsuits, private army rosters, real estate contracts for the Nest City Interceptor Zone, clean water quotas, keys to underground shelters, PDF officer appointment letters, and a pile of imperial bureaucratic scraps that would drive any normal person insane.

Behind Duan Yu stood three hundred Bi'an warriors.

Next comes the two thousand cornerstone members.

One hundred and seventy-six of the cornerstone sequences have tiny black vertical lines engraved on their eyepieces.

Gene sniffing.

But in places like Vigilant Star, they are more useful than an entire Tribunal investigation team.

"start."

The cornerstone sequence opens the file.

The bloodline tree of the old nobility spread out in mid-air, like a lush yet decaying net of trees.

Two hundred years ago, a branch of a certain family suddenly experienced a surge in birth rate.

A certain family of politicians has married the same nameless woman from the Xiachao mining area for five consecutive generations.

Every thirty years, a certain reservoir management family would erase a list of servants from the archives.

Lines were drawn out one by one from the foundation sequence.

The first screening took place in the Saintsport Noble Refuge Hall.

More than 2,700 nobles, members of parliament, clerks, private army leaders, union representatives, and senior managers of water purification stations were gathered in an old banquet hall.

Some people still try to maintain their dignity, as if simply standing up straight enough can erase the memory of those alien corpses in the parliament hall.

Serena Agamemnos is also here.

As a representative of the Agammenus family, she was left behind by Lawson to appease the local system, which had not yet completely collapsed.

When Duan Yu entered the banquet hall, all the voices fell silent.

The representative of the Malos family spoke first.

“My lord, the Marlos family has relinquished control. We fully support the Sealholder's wartime command. If there are any remaining formalities, I can complete them immediately…”

A gene-sniffing node walked past him and suddenly stopped.

The helmet of the cornerstone sequence member turned slightly towards Representative Malos.

"Chitinic striations are present in the subcutaneous tissue on the side of the neck."

Malos suddenly retreated.

"Slander! This is political purge! I am an imperial nobleman, my bloodline can be traced back to..."

A Bixi warrior stepped forward, grabbed Malos's representative by the neck, and pinned him to the ground.

Pierce the skin and tear off the artificial skin membrane covering the side of the neck.

The tiny purple scales were exposed.

A suppressed gasp rippled through the banquet hall.

The representative from Malos screamed.

"You don't understand! The Four-Armed God-Emperor will bring true liberation! You slaves of the Corpse King..."

The blade fell.

The head rolled across the banquet hall carpet.

Duan Yu looked at the record node.

"Malos main branch, genetic contamination confirmed. Reservoir control has been taken over. All members of the family's private army have been screened, and those who resist will be executed on the spot."

"confirm."

Serena looked at the head that had rolled to the side of the table.

The Marlos family has oscillated between the Agamemnos family and the Mechanicus for decades.

She once thought it was just the greed and self-preservation of the nobility.

Now she realizes that behind all those arguments, delays, price gouging, the seizure of ammunition vehicles, and obstruction of water purification, there may have been another pair of claws.

Screening continues.

A judicial magistrate was taken out.

A noblewoman was led out.

Three senior technicians from the water purification hub were taken out.

Seven PDF quartermasters were taken out.

Twelve parliamentary clerks were taken away.

There is also a deputy chief priest of the state religion.

He initially appeared more devout than anyone else.

He raised the reliquary high, pointed it at the execution ground, and roared: "You executioners in iron, how dare you desecrate the Emperor's servants!"

The Bixie warriors tore open the deputy high priest's robes.

He had a row of vestigial accessory limbs growing from his ribs.

The deputy high priest suddenly smiled.

"You're too late."

"Your father's blood has flowed through every gutter of this planet. Can you kill all the nobles, all the scribes, all the suffering people in the lower nest?"

Duan Yu calmly replied, "Yes."

The deputy high priest's laughter paused for a moment.

The power axe split his head open.

The review is ongoing.

There are fewer and fewer nobles in the banquet hall.

More and more people were being dragged out.

At first, some people argued, cursed, invoked ancient privileges, demanded to see Calgar, demanded to see the archbishop, and demanded to appeal according to the laws of the Vigilant Star.

Later, they stopped talking.

Because the gene sniffing node makes almost no mistakes.

Every person who is pointed out can eventually have evidence dug out from their flesh and blood.

Mixed-race gene fragments.

Brain tissue rewritten by psychic suggestions.

Serena stood to the side, her face growing paler by the minute.

She finally couldn't help but speak up.

"so much?"

"Has the aristocratic class of Vigilant Star degenerated to this extent?"

Duan Yu turned his head.

"It is parasitized."

“The Agammenus family also conducts screening.”

"Including you."

She took a deep breath: "Come on."
