After talking to the legal marshal, Soshyan stood up from his seat, and everyone immediately bounced up as if the chairs under their butts were electrified.
Without saying a word, he turned around and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window next to the chair. At this time, the airship was very close to the hive city. With a visual eye, he could see the busy industrial area below, the huge track facilities, the shuttle trains, and a
There are highways winding between cities, and residential areas dotted with thousands of lights.
Suddenly, Soshyan made a confused sound. He saw crowds of people suddenly appearing on the road. They were walking on the road wide enough to accommodate the brutal blade, wearing colorful clothes and waving colorful flags.
, and even a giant portrait more than ten meters high was carried in the middle of the procession, which showed the image of Soshyan wearing golden armor and holding a staff during the parade on Terra.
At the same time, fireworks bloomed in the surrounding airspace, reflecting Soshiyang's face in colorful colors.
boom--
The airship's audio system was quietly turned on, transmitting the sound of fireworks and the noise of the crowd into the lobby.
"I wish the great leader, the great commander, the great hero, the guardian of the empire, Chapter Master Soshyan Alexey! Long life without borders! Long life without borders!! Long life without borders!!!"
Soshiyang frowned and turned around. At this time, King Weilaiton XIX had carefully walked to him.
"Governor, what's going on?"
"Chapter Commander, this is the time when the people of the hive city heard that you were coming and organized themselves to show their love to you——"
Soshyan interrupted him immediately.
"Those who work fifteen or sixteen hours a day, I believe they are not in the mood to know who the heroes of the empire are. I appreciate your kindness. Don't do this kind of personality worship next time. It wastes people and money and is meaningless. People
Life is already very tiring.”
"Yes Yes Yes..."
At this moment, Soshyan suddenly caught a glimpse of a huge base in the Shangchao area, and various giant machines were building huge scaffolding.
"What is that being built?"
"That, that is a statue built for you. It was collectively funded by all the nobles, factory owners and Shangchao residents. When completed, it will be a full-body metal statue with a total height of 283 meters."
Hearing this, Soshyan felt even more helpless, because Naisen IV also built such a giant statue in the hive when he came back, and the total height was 282 meters——
Obviously, Naison No. 5 knew about this, so they deliberately raised it one meter.
"Such honor should belong to the Emperor, not me."
"There are also icons of the Emperor in the hive. They are everywhere. This is the respect and love shown to you by the soldiers and civilians of Nessen No. 5. Please do not refuse."
Soshiyang sighed softly. He did not refuse the Naisen No. 4 one. If he declined here, it would appear that there was a difference between the two worlds. In the end, it was just an instruction.
"It won't happen again."
"understand."
After saying that, he looked at the tidal wave of people on the surface streets. The surface streets of the entire hive city were filled with people. It was an extremely spectacular scene. This was even better than the scene when he saw the Eternal City celebration in Terra.
Even more shocking.
"Since everyone is here, I can't just leave without caring and let people go in vain."
Later, Soshyan asked the governor to turn on the giant projection equipment on the airship. As the governor's inspection vehicle, the super-large projection equipment installed on it can project a huge image with a height of more than 100 meters in the air medium. During the annual
On the Emperor's Ascension Festival, the Governor-General will make a speech tour around the world here.
Half a minute later, accompanied by a disturbance in the turbid air, a blue bust appeared in the sky above the hive city in the ripples of water, making countless people exclaim.
This is also the first time that most people have seen the Astartes, even if it is just a projection.
"To all the soldiers and civilians of Nessen 5, I am Soshyan Alexey, Chapter Master of the Astral Knights Chapter. I am very fortunate to be able to come to this world that is adjacent to the Chapter's homeland but has never really been reached.
, everything here is both strange and great to me personally. It goes without saying that it is strange. But from the moment I entered the atmosphere of this world, I felt that this world has great but painful people. I once traveled through
I have been on countless battlefields, witnessed countless wars, and led one war after another. But it was not until this moment that I realized how much it cost to control the beast of war. The people of Nathan No. 5 are great and it is your sweat.
The sword of war that defends the Empire was forged with blood, so on behalf of the Astral Knights Chapter, I am here to express my most sincere respect to all the residents of Nessin V!"
As he said that, Soshyan made an eagle salute, and then lowered his arms. At this time, the crowd crowding on the street became silent. They all looked up at the strange warrior, confused, puzzled, confused, and tired.
...Countless emotions permeated the crowd, but their numb hearts also began to be slightly touched.
"However, I also see everyone's pain, almost endless work, suffering from diseases caused by pollution, always hungry bellies, and children who cannot be raised healthily... Yes, I can see it, so now it is
This is the best time to be honest, to speak the truth bravely, to tell the whole truth! I am an Astartes, a defender of humanity, and I will not be timid in facing today's situation! Therefore, let me first state that I
The firm belief that Nathan 5 will usher in unprecedented changes will be a change that will affect everyone, just like what the Astral Knights did on Nathan 4!"
"This is not a slow gentle breeze, but a swift storm! Because right now, a large number of citizens of the empire are facing severe survival problems, and the vast majority of them are working hard in exchange for extremely meager remuneration.
I will never deny these dark realities!"
"But I can feel gratified that the Emperor is still giving us favors. There have been no disasters or wars here. Peace is the greatest wealth. The key now is how to use this wealth to benefit the smallest
individuals! On the other hand, I hope everyone can understand that our distress is not due to lack of supplies, but how to ensure that everyone can get the fairest possible distribution results. This will take some time, but there is one thing I can confirm.
Even if the tithe paid to the empire has been cancelled, the Astral Knights will not ask for it now, and all the increased burdens due to the tithe will be canceled immediately!"
"There are three other points that will be implemented as soon as possible. First, ensure that each person's working time is limited to 10 hours. Second, children under 14 years old will receive an additional food subsidy of no less than 300 grams per person per day. Finally, it will be mandatory for all
Workers must receive basic protective equipment at work! In the future, managers will develop new plans and programs regarding employment, food, medical care, education, and even housing. Our ultimate goal is to create a vibrant,
A vibrant, prosperous world with strong industrial production capabilities and self-sustainability!" (Suddenly it feels a bit like playing Tropico...)
After saying that, Suoshiyang lowered his head slightly, seeming to be looking at all the living beings below.
"This is a promise made by me and the Astral Knight to everyone. Under the witness of the Emperor, it will be fulfilled!"
The next moment, the entire hive city, all the streets and alleys, were boiling with unprecedented excitement——
