I am Honkai!

The ability to feed on ordinary humans is different from the ability to obtain information by eating the flesh and blood of the target. The latter is a tactical ability, while the former can be labeled as heresy and alien.

"The imperial civilians who received a little training in the recruit camp of the Imperial Mortal Auxiliary Army are better than them. It can only be said that they are individual experimental products sent to the Imperial Science Bureau, which is better than nothing."

Talent is not enough, and Honkai can come to make up for it. Let’s just say, the upper limit of the race of ghouls is already low, and it turns out to have such a huge physical defect, so it is completely unnecessary.

"Hee hee, didn't we discover a world suitable for life recently? It's a world covered by a large area of ​​the sea. After observation, there are many lives on it, with huge differences in individual strength and uneven technological development."

"Should be a proper conscription world."

Putting her arms on the shoulders of the two partners, the blond-haired and black-armored woman said with a smile, showing a joy and childishness completely incompatible with her mature appearance.

"But Xiao Ang, you have to know that we are not the only ones who have discovered this world. When we returned to the Empire to rest, I heard that the next operation will not only involve the Astartes Legion..."

"Even the Imperial Assassin's Forces and the Imperial Special 'Hunter' Unit will participate."

"Xiaofu, you're so long-winded... I hope that Lord Alyssa can give us 'Battle Sisters' a little more chance in front of His Majesty."

......

The Grand Palace of the Imperial Capital, Schönbrunn Palace.

"Lion, Fulgrim, Angron..."

Sitting on the luxurious sofa painted in gold and red, Selene looked at the report information submitted by Alisa and murmured.

"It seems that they have passed the test, and the successor can cancel it."

After a year of war baptism, the 'Battle Sister' can be regarded as proving her own strength, and Selene will naturally not abolish her without reason.

And their names were obtained by Selene with some indescribable bad taste in her heart after the three of them passed the potential promotion, using their original names as the words.

Quickly flipping through the report with rich pictures and texts, Selene is quite satisfied with the record of 'Battle Sister' conquering three small worlds and discovering a new world a year.

Especially in the modern world where ghouls exist, the detailed descriptions of Hezi cells, Jiahe, Yuhe, Linhe, and Weihe made Selene somewhat familiar and reminiscent.

And the newly discovered world...

"...Three happiness is coming?" Stirring the black tea in the glass cup, Selene couldn't stop the smile on her lips.

Not long ago, the Ninth and No.13 Legions of Astartes sent reports about the new world almost at the same time. Since the Ninth Legion was in the same conquest direction as the 'Battle Sister', the worlds they discovered were consistent. .

The No.13 Legion discovered another new world where technology, civilization, population, and extraordinary power coexist.

Look carefully at the information in it, the ocean is the main one, a large number of giant creatures; the Eurasian air disaster, the space earthquake...

Seeing this, Selene was afraid that the people under him would not be strong enough to grasp it, but with the recovery of Esdes, everything was easy to handle.

Even if Selene doesn't say it, Esdeth, who has completed the transformation of the Herrscher of Ice, will definitely not be able to help experimenting with his new power.

Like putting a carrot in front of a donkey, Selene puts these two difficult tasks of conquering the new world in front of Esdeth. which one.

And at this moment, squeak~

bang bang bang...

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

The heavy palace gate was slowly opened under the push of two golden-armored guards, and the crisp sound of high-heeled shoes stepping on the gilded floor tiles echoed continuously in the empty and deep hall.

The ice-blue beauty looked around the palace with great interest, and was not in the least intimidated by the golden-armored imperial guards until she found the object of her allegiance.

"Your Majesty! The humble position has lived up to the entrustment, and the transformation of the Herrscher has been completed."

Selene followed the reputation, and at the door of the palace, Esdeth, who had a deeper breath, was kneeling on the ground on one knee. Facing Selene, her posture was unusually submissive, and she did not swell at all due to the increase in strength.

Taking a closer look, Esdeth's image at this time can be described as a big change. Although the beard and hair are still ice blue, the former image of the white military uniform has been replaced.

Wearing a white crown and a dark blue veil, the entire upper body is black and blue with white hexagonal decorations.The forearm gradually turns dark blue, and the hands are coiled by ice picks.

Wearing a large cloak from dark blue to white with two ice chains hanging from it, and an ice candle floating on each side of the body, wearing a white suspenders with blue patterns and high heels on the lower body.

Snapped.

After closing the report and placing it on the table, Selene got up.

"Esdes, you came at a good time. Two tasks, choose one, as a practice for you after you complete the transformation of the Herrscher of Ice."

------

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"A task?"

After being lifted up by Selene, looking at the papers floating in front of him, Esdeth did not shirk it, and immediately took it and flipped through it.

The first line of words that came into my eyes was, "Report from the Commander of the Ninth Legion Sanguinius Legion...."

Uh...a new face I don't know, it seems that the imperial army has changed a lot during the few years I have been sleeping. The Astartes, which only had two or three legions before, have expanded to the Ninth Legion.

I don't know how His Majesty dealt with the imperial assassination troops, orcs, and special 'hunter' troops. For some reason, Esdeth thought of the old subordinates she was in charge of before.

"Looks like I'll be busy in the future..." Estes murmured.

The slumber caused by the transformation process of the Herrscher of Ice caused a huge disconnect between Esdeth's cognition and the rapidly developing empire, and the information lagged seriously.

As soon as he woke up, he was summoned into the Grand Palace by Selene, and Esdeth was not given time to familiarize himself with the situation.

Among other things, the larger scale and more luxuriously furnished Grand Palace alone made it easy for Estes to leave.

If there is no waiter to lead the way, even if Esdeth can sense that he is in contact with Selene, determine the specific location, and go straight without flying or destroying the wall, it may not be possible to find it in a short time.

This row upon row of palaces dotted with dots, the palace corridors extending in all directions, the resplendent and charming decorations, together with the attendants, Astartes warriors, and imperial guards walking through it endlessly.

Let Esdeth have a feeling of walking through the maze "busy city". The only difference is that although this "busy city" has a large number of people, it is extremely quiet.

Involuntarily, Estes complained slightly in his heart about Se's aesthetics and hobbies.

Of course, if Estes is a modern person, he may be able to say it quite naturally.

Specialist doctor for lack of firepower phobia, expert collector of figures, specialist doctor for the biggest and brightest hand disease, infrastructure madman... and a series of appropriate evaluations.

After all, Selene has been wearing frighteningly gorgeous crown clothes or battle armor all year round, built a grand palace of unprecedented scale for herself, and put on frighteningly gorgeous golden armor for her imperial guards.

There are also those legions, all of them look like gods descending from the earth, and they try to make them as big as possible. The height is either [-] meters or more than [-] meters.

Quickly shaking his head to clear away distracting thoughts, Estes carefully checked the information in it.

The Blood Angels of the Ninth Legion of the Astartes reported at the same time as the Battle Sisters, discovering a new world of life.

Hey, what kind of new unit is this 'battle nun'?Combat, nun, female... um, is this the new army His Majesty prepared for me?

With a hint of expectation, Estes continued to look down.

The ocean is the main area, there are giant creatures, and there is human civilization... The first observation shows that the marine civilization is the most prosperous sailing line, and most of them are sailing ships... It is speculated that the overall technological level is not high.

Seeing this, especially the existence of giant creatures, immediately aroused Esdeth's hunting instinct, and subconsciously wanted to choose, but he forcibly held back, and read it first.

Turning the page, Astartes No.13 Legion Ultramarine Robert reports...

"No.13 serial number? Is the size of the Imperial Army so large now..."

However, soon, the space quake in the report, especially the picture of the Eurasian space disaster that left an incomparably huge scar on the Eurasian continent, appeared in Esdeth's sight.

In just a moment, the brain made a choice, raised his head, and Esdeth said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the humble choice, and the No.13 Legion."

"So, here's this..." Saying that, Selene stepped across the steps to Esdeth, stretched out her palm, and with a 'tear' sound, a space portal glowing with purple light appeared.

A standard six-sided cube fell from it, turning slowly in mid-air, exuding purple-red light spots.

Taking the cube with both hands, Esdeth looked at it carefully. The whole body of the cube is silver-gray, with countless cracks criss-crossing on each surface, dividing the cube into various irregular blocks.

The purple-red brilliance seeps out of it, and the shape is obviously very irregular, but it looks very harmonious, without the slightest sense of abruptness.

The next moment, in the silent palace, there was a click of machine springs gnawing out of nowhere. For a moment, Esdeth only felt a slight pain in the palm of his hand, and his keen sense of smell allowed her to instantly capture a faint smell of blood from the air.

It's sucking my blood?

"Don't worry, this is just the recognition ceremony of Cube. The ceremony is a bit traditional, but it is very useful. You can use this to contact Robert."

"You can explore its usefulness by yourself, and all the usage information has been engraved in it."

Looking up and nodding, Selene said thoughtfully.

"Esdes, during the five or six years you've been sleeping, the empire has undergone considerable changes. The introduction will be made by your old 'hunter' subordinates. It just so happens that they are also resting in the imperial capital recently."

"There will be a waiter to take you there, the imperial capital, you have to get familiar with it again, oh, yes, I have arranged for the beast warriors to go to the front line of the conquest, and they are not currently in the imperial capital."

After finishing speaking... Selene was silent, leaning against the desk, holding the glass cup, lowering her eyes, and gently stroking the body of the cup, the delicate and moist touch was as smooth as white jade.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Seeing this, Estes bent down and stroked his chest without turning around, just walked backwards respectfully like this, until he was close to the gate of the palace, then turned around carefully and left.

squeak~

It wasn't until Esdeth's crisp footsteps disappeared, and the gate of the temple was closed again by the golden armored guards, that Selene slowly raised her head.

Sitting on the desk like this without returning to her seat, Selene put down the glass cup and turned to look at the proposal presented by Alisa on the desk.

Ask Selene to order the decentralized officials of the Imperial Central Ministry of Internal Affairs to govern and receive the two worlds they conquered.

A wild world of beasts, a world of slavery in the Bronze and Iron Ages.

Among them, what surprised Selene was that Alyssa used the law of eleven smashes on the "Ghoul World".

"Tokyo Ghoul, this world is completely destroyed..."

After reading the relevant reports, Selene said that the "Battle Sisters" commanded by Alisa had no problem in combat, but they just didn't expect them to be so decisive. After knowing that the alien forces were invincible, a certain northern boy actually chose to die together.

In line with the mentality that it would be better to break the jade than to be safe, it dropped thermonuclear weapons all over the world, trying to pull all countries to die together, and leave nothing to the invaders.

The hymn of human beings is the hymn of courage. This incident has truly reflected that even if it is death, the enemy's face will be splashed with blood, but Alisa is not a human being. From her perspective, she has no sense.

Thanks to Alisa personally leading the team, under her protection, although many important target cities have been plowed, at least the imperial army that invaded the world suffered very few casualties.

But because of this, including Alisa, the entire imperial army felt offended and extremely annoyed. Instead of surrendering, the enemy dared to fight back? !

Therefore, after the second invasion, the Imperial Army launched a large number of retaliatory killings.

(PS: Don’t mention China to me, you just take all the different worlds I wrote, parallel universes and so on, the big oriental countries on the Eurasian continent do not exist, these illusory worlds cannot bear the projection from the only real world.)

After this incident, Alisa deeply felt that the 'Battle Sisters' were short of soldiers, so they could only focus on dispersing the attack, and could not jump through time and space in a short period of time to destroy all the enemy centers in the other world in one go.

If it had been as large as the Legions Astartes, even if it had been only a third, the situation would have been very different.

For this reason, Alyssa's last proposal is to expand the conscription scope of the 'Battle Sisters' to the mainland of the Empire.

This... Selene won't say absolutely no, but the success rate of this matter is really slim.

It is impossible for the people of the empire to sign up voluntarily, even under the influence of the "ideological seal", unless Selene issues a mandatory military order.

If the people of the empire can sincerely express their willingness to participate in this aspect, then it will not be thought engraving, but personality reshaping!

These are completely two concepts.

After all, the subtle influence of the "Thought Stamp" is often that the clearer and simpler the goal is, the stronger the effect will be.

For example, it does not matter whether it is right or wrong, and it does not involve modifying any of your three views, memories, and imprints on how to behave in the world. It just induces you to be loyal to someone's consciousness.

The same is true of Selene's use of the 'seal of thought'.

The effect of imprinting plural requirements broadly is actually less effective, and this is one of the reasons why Selene temporarily does not include the conquered world into the Astartes Legion's recruitment category.

After the conquered world is incorporated into the Imperial Army to receive and reorganize, these new military units (cannon fodder) composed of non-imperial natives, how to say...

It is not that there are no existences that have not been rewarded for fighting bravely, and then accepted by the mortal auxiliary army of the empire, but more, discrimination is everywhere.

For example, if the people of the world of 'Dark Bullets' are directly recruited as candidates for the Imperial Astartes Legion, do you think the people in the Legion can think highly of them?

One was a native born and bred imperial man who grew up reflecting the sun of Emperor Selene.One is a resident of another world conquered by the Empire.

With the class system under the absolute imperial power of the empire, how could civilians and slaves live in peace?Mixing people who are not of the same class will inevitably lead to conflicts.

Another thing is, becoming an Astartes warrior is the dream of many mortal auxiliaries of the empire, so let outsiders join their own team, okay?This is not good!

This choice is not difficult to choose, and Selene definitely prefers the closer imperial people.

As for why the people of the empire were so loyal and obedient under Selene's rule, it was not just the effect of the 'ideological seal', but also included its own national conditions and Selene's various measures.

The people of the empire have no choice. They have been ruled for thousands of years, and they have formed a habit.

When a regime has only existed for more than ten years, or there have been regime changes before, maybe it has been ruling the world in your impression since you can remember, but in the eyes of your parents and grandparents?
