But do you think that's the end?
The Emperor immediately issued a new decree, requiring all colonies to increase their previous tax rates by 30%, and then to build a cosmic wonder in the solar system to praise his imperial achievements.
At the same time, the Emperor also ordered the governors of major star regions to immediately allocate resources and manpower to go to the border of the Milky Way to build a cosmic wall to resist the invasion of extraterritorial aliens and thus protect the empire for thousands of years.
After these series of actions, the entire Empire was filled with grief. People's hearts finally began to have a different view of the Emperor and a change of heart. Even within the loyal Imperial Army, many complaints arose, but they were only circulated within a small circle, and no one dared to speak out openly.
At this moment, the only ones completely loyal to the Emperor were the Custodians, the Sororitas, and the Astra Militarum responsible for defending Terra. Meanwhile, the Lightseekers, led by Warmaster Chang Wei, were as silent as if their microphones had been muted.
Time passed quickly, and soon it was the end of the month, the day for the collective execution of criminals.
On the broad road, countless sinners are heading to the final execution ground of their lives.
The Sisters of Battle escorted the procession, the Custodians cleared the way, and the Astra Militarum soldiers lined the roads to maintain order. Furthermore, numerous fighter planes flew overhead, and towering Titans stood on the ground, constantly on guard.
Countless onlookers stood around, watching the huge, packed prison vans drive by, all of them angry but unable to speak out.
The contrast between the two was striking, as was the massive, ornate dragon chariot that accompanied them. The Emperor sat atop it, while Guilliman, bound in chains and unable to move, lay beneath.
Seeing her man in such a state, Evelyne, who was hiding in the dark and watching, couldn't help but rush out to kill him.
But the goddess of life, Isa, held her shoulders and shook her head.
And in unknown corners, there are already a large number of people who are determined to resist. They are wiping their weapons, with a determined look in their eyes, ready to fight at any time.
Countless unwilling sinners howled to the heavens, mad as madmen, cursing and blaspheming the Emperor non-stop. They shouted out loudly all the Emperor's abominations and past mistakes.
However, their shouting and cursing did not lead to the emperor stopping them. Instead, he continued to listen with a little interest, as if he was recalling the good old days.
Seeing this scene, the few remaining loyal Primarchs frowned, and some even began to secretly place their hands on their weapons. This was because they remembered the ancient saying "When the birds are gone, the good bows are put away; when the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked." They also remembered the dark past of the "Thunder Warriors" who had made great contributions to the Emperor, but were eventually ordered to be slaughtered by the Emperor.
Looking back now, perhaps it was because Horus saw the Emperor's cruelty, ruthlessness and tyranny that he launched the rebellion back then?
The Space Marines and Primarchs who were born to expel aliens and wage wars, once they complete their mission, will most likely end up like the "Thunder Warriors" of the past.
Only the Imperial Guards are the only "sons" trusted by the Emperor.
At this moment, everyone began to stir. They stared intently at the emperor sitting on the magnificent dragon chariot, and murderous intent slowly began to emanate from them.
Then, just as they were about to take action, the crowd around them actually let out a series of exclamations!
what happened?
Everyone turned their heads to look and saw a figure wearing a phoenix-patterned fire cloak, a dragon-patterned double-eagle Yanhuang power armor, and holding the "Emperor's Sword". He stood in front of the escort team and blocked their way.
"Yes...it's the Warmaster!"
"The Warmaster has appeared!"
"How could this happen? Isn't he... on the side of the Emperor? Why is he here?"
"Oh my God! What is the Warmaster going to do?"
The next second, Chang Wei, who was fully armed, wearing armor and whose face could not be seen, began to run quickly towards the escort team.
At this moment, his behavior was tantamount to rebellion. All weapons present were pointed at him and began to roar wildly.
Da da da da da!
Countless beams and explosive shells pierced his body, but he was like a ghost, without any damage or pause. He quickly passed the large number of Custodians and Battle Sisters who wanted to stop him, and then with a leap, he arrived in front of the Emperor on the Dragon Throne.
"You bold traitor! How dare you come and assassinate me? You deserve death!"
The Emperor roared, ready to stand up and resist. But Chang Wei was one step faster than him, and the "Emperor's Sword" in his hand instantly burst into a fierce light, aiming directly at his heart.
At this moment, everyone in the empire, including the billions of people watching the live broadcast, opened their eyes wide, staring at the sudden scene in disbelief, their nerves stretched to the limit.
Time seemed to have stopped. The Emperor, who had originally looked furious and ferocious, suddenly revealed a barely perceptible smile of relief, as if everything had gone according to his plan.
[Chang Wei, as agreed, you will come to assassinate me on your way to execution in two months! At that time, I will infuse all my power into the "Emperor's Sword", giving you the ability to kill me.]
"Are you going to do this anyway? Your Majesty?"
The Emperor smiled slightly.
"Humanity has been subject to imperial rule for far too long. It often unconsciously deifies me. However, if humanity wants to continue moving forward and reach even further into the universe, it must rely on the power of all of humanity, not a single "god"!"
