Chapter 965, Taking Office
When Shang Yanwen woke up, he could already see outside the window of the shuttle airship that the outline of Comoros's city was cut into pieces by towering spires and had become deformed.
A hundred years ago, the poor boy who lived at the bottom of the Koroga Hive City never thought that he would be able to be admitted to the Alliance's key university of liberal arts based on his academic level, and enter the Alliance's government system after graduation.
He could never have imagined that one day he would set foot in this dark city, which was once the cancer of the universe, as one of its managers.
Rubbing his eyes, Shang Yanwen asked, "How long will it take us to get there?"
"Director Shang, we will land in five minutes and then take a different vehicle to the government building. Governor Xia Xingze is already waiting for you." The voice of the female flight attendant sounded in the cabin.
Shang Yanwen looked at the twisted buildings through the porthole and thought of his hometown.
That year, when the Alliance Army entered the bottom floor of Comoros's hive, he hid in the rusty ventilation duct and watched pairs of shiny military boots step into the sewage pool.
The hot porridge provided by the recruitment station changed the trajectory of his life, and the admission letter from the Grammar School became the ladder for him to climb out of the slums.
And now, he will come to change this dark city.
He appeared to be a scholar, a civil servant, refined and easygoing. But beneath the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes lay the accumulation of a century of government experience. He had risen from the bottom of society, and beneath his refined exterior lay a steely, ruthless spirit.
This has become even more obvious in recent decades, especially after they took up the position of chief officer.
He led the tax reform in the Peperos system for seventeen years. The tax amount increased year by year, accumulating countless blood and tears of the local dignitaries.
During his twelve years of experience coordinating colonization in the Mayagus star field, he ruthlessly broke up all the civilian groups on the worlds that had previously rebelled, leaving countless families forever separated. This, however, significantly reduced the likelihood of rebellion and enabled them to efficiently explore new worlds.
For the past nineteen years, during the Dark Side Expedition in the Mailiang Universe, he had been operating alongside a detachment of the Angelic Fleet, leading Alliance officials and collaborating with the military to resettle two hundred worlds through a combination of suppression and appeasement...
Now, these qualifications have become a new nameplate on his chest - Third Supervisor of the Comoros Special Administrative Region Government. He can be said to be the third in command of the Special Administrative Region government, mainly in charge of the resettlement of the elves' population and property.
Five minutes passed quickly and the airship landed on the landing platform.
As soon as he opened the cabin door, Shang Yanwen smelled a bloody scent.
This aura came from a four-man Space Marine squad in front of them. They had been waiting here for a long time.
The leader stepped forward and held out a data board.
After Shang Yanwen raised his hand to verify the biometric information, a cold voice came from the other party's breathing grid:
"Hello, Inspector Shang Yanwen, I'm Vikas, from the Sixth Company of the Angels of Execution. My team and I will be responsible for protecting you for the next period of time."
This was also the first time for Shang Yanwen to receive close protection from four Space Marines.
It's not that he hasn't seen these majestic warriors before, but generally speaking, they are the sharpest swords on the battlefield, their job is to solve the most difficult problems. They are excellent offensive weapons and are rarely used as bodyguards for high-ranking government officials.
Since this has happened, it is very likely that the safety of these senior government officials is one of the most difficult problems in Comoros.
However, he was mentally prepared for this.
Although he had faced life-threatening situations in the blood and iron in his past experiences, he knew about Comoros and had read a lot of information. He knew that working here was the closest time to death in his career.
"It depends on you." Shang Yanwen replied politely.
He knew about the Angels of Execution.
Most of the Blood Angels' sub-regiments within the Alliance were established after the Battle of Primus and the Blood Angels' joining the Alliance.
That concentrated army building was called the Blood Alliance Army.
However, there are a few chapters that joined the Alliance during the Alliance's Dark Side Expeditions before the parent chapter joined the Alliance; there are also chapters that were established during the Alliance's several small-scale Dark Side formations before the Blood Alliance was founded.
The Execution Angel is the latter type.
Their identities have always been very special. They are two regiments responsible for internal security. They rarely go out to fight, but they have committed a lot of killings. They often respond to the call of the Alliance's Independent Commission Against Corruption, Police Station, Security Department, and Internal Affairs Department to deal with very serious internal affairs issues.
The term "execution" wasn't used lightly. When they struck, it was often when the evidence was irrefutable, or even when no evidence was needed; the only action was to bring down the head. Furthermore, these were situations where even the alliance's internal affairs department, with its own elite agents, couldn't handle the situation, forcing the use of "angels" to bring about the final destruction.
When it comes to internal repression and explosion suppression, the Execution Angel is first-rate.
And now, this regiment has arrived in Comoros with its full strength.
The current situation in the Comoros Special Administrative Region is just the right time for them to play a role.
…
He changed to a car and quickly traveled through the closed passages inside the city, taking in the surrounding scenery one by one.
The avenue he was on was formerly known as the Avenue of Pain and Desire, and was the central street in Comoros.
After the spaceship landed, the path leading from here to the center of Comoros was inland. There, the Dark Witch King Victor once presided over the Hall of Suffering, the ruling center of the Dark Eldar. Now, it has become the seat of the Comoros Special Region government, and its name has long been changed to simply Comoros Central City.
This avenue evokes the splendor of its past. Tall buildings and towers line its sides, along with numerous unremoved signboards, symbolizing the prestige of the various dark families. These families often spend vast sums of money to acquire towers and buildings around the Avenue of Desire, using them as signboards. Major guilds and businesses also operate shops here, trading in rare treasures plundered from the real universe. Furthermore, there are numerous neon-lit sanctuaries of indulgence, awash in the glitz and glamour of luxury.
However, now it was quite deserted. Not only were there few people on the streets, but one could even occasionally see bloodstains that hadn't been cleaned up in time.
The armored hovercraft that Shang Yanwen was riding was speeding off the ground on the avenue. He did not encounter any threats along the way and went straight to the central city and entered the governor's mansion.
The Governor's Palace was transformed from the former Temple of Pain. Human engineers removed the screaming statues and erased all religious and hedonistic things, but the luxury and weirdness can still be seen in it.
As soon as he entered, Shang Yanwen saw four witch spirits wearing electronic collars scrubbing the floor. Dark purple blood was oozing from the gaps between the tiles. They had to use their tiny spiritual power to suppress and clear away the extraordinary energy full of pain that once permeated the place.
The Dark Eldar liked this, but the Humans did not.
Shang Yanwen's leather boots stepped on the water mark, and the elf woman retracted her hand as if she had been electrocuted. The blue light on her collar suddenly increased, and she convulsed and pressed her forehead against the ground.
He walked over calmly, took the express elevator, moved inside the building, and soon arrived at the Governor's office.
Four angels of execution were guarding outside the door. Shang Yanwen went in alone and met the Governor of Comoros - Xia Xingze.
The two talked in secret for a while, and Shang Yanwen came out soon.
However, his expression became a little more serious.
