Although a lot of price and energy have been spent, and although it has been troublesome so far, it has finally curbed the spread of chaos and prevented the demons from dragging the planet into the abyss of eternal destruction (subspace), even if

The effort and reward are not directly proportional, or even a bit thankless?

"Yes!"

"Even if there are still tens of billions of people living up there!"

There was no surprise. Horus, the empire's legion commander and commander of the Great Expedition Squadron, nodded and openly admitted that he might indeed do that.

"More than 10 billion people will be wiped out like this?"

"I beg your pardon, I beg to differ!"

After staring at the other party for a while, Darius finally shook his head and expressed that he did not agree with the other party's extreme approach.

Because he prefers to save people as much as possible first, and then clean up or destroy the planet when there is no other way. That is the correct approach that is in line with his own values ​​and the values ​​of the sector.

"Yes!"

"Perhaps you may question my right to destroy those ten billion people, but those who truly understand will know that I have no right to let them continue to live."

"I've seen too much misfortune since the Great Crusade!"

"Your Excellency General!"

"Our universe has no place for weak-willed and hesitant people. Only through firm actions and beliefs can humans survive. There is never a sacrifice too big to bear, and there is never a betrayal too small to tolerate."

"The above passage is the relevant statement and explanation of the 'Extermination Order' in Chapter 28 of the Heretic Tribunal Think Tank's teachings."

Horus answered and explained coldly.

"nature!"

"In most cases, extermination orders will only be issued in extreme circumstances. Generally speaking, there is usually a strategic threat to the entire empire or extinction level on the planet, and it is likely to spread to other planets."

"Extermination orders are issued as a last resort for the Empire when the cost of holding or retaking a world is deemed too high, or when the threat of mutation, plague, or Chaos spreading to other parts of the Empire is too great to be contained by conventional means.

"

"If we had come here a few months ago, even if the General stopped us, we would have issued an extermination order without mercy!"

"Because we cannot afford the threat of Chaos Demons spreading to the surrounding galaxies!"

Horus continued to add.

"Yeah?"

"But the facts prove that you are wrong."

"We successfully curbed the spread of Chaos, defeated the subspace demons and saved tens of billions of humans!"

Darius argued with each other, saying that he still disagreed with the other party's decisive and cruel approach and views.

"Maybe!"

"This is one of the reasons why we have not chosen to march to Huagai Star so far."

"But what the General said about defeating the subspace demon and successfully containing the spread of chaos is probably a little premature."

"As far as we know, the strength of the demons on Huagai Planet is no worse than yours. There is no guarantee that they will spread again in the future."

"besides!"

"The new threat that emerged this time, those metal skeleton monsters..."

"I'm afraid you are helpless, right?"

Obviously, because of the two spy ships, Horus did know a lot about the intelligence on the Huagai planet. He even knew about the Necrontyr and the Necrons, but he might not know it yet.

Just more specific content.

"Do those things have anything to do with the Legion Commander?"

"We'll take care of it ourselves!"

Darius said coldly.

To be honest, if it weren't for his lack of strength, he would have driven away the opponent by force even if he didn't take the initiative to attack. How could he be talking nonsense with the opponent here?

"Why doesn't it matter?"

"The Taiwei galaxy is surrounded by colonies of Terran humans. Although the current ownership of the Taiwei galaxy is controversial and remains to be discussed, we have sent people to the planet and conducted on-site inspections to ensure that the chaos here will not worsen and

If it spreads, it’s not too much, right?”

"If the devil and other threats are finally successfully contained, we will naturally not take any more actions."

"but!"

"If chaos tends to spread, we will naturally reserve the power to take certain containment and decisive measures!"

A rare proud smile appeared on Horus's face, as if he was proud that he had found a way to avoid a certain agreement and intervene in the affairs of the Pagoda Star?

"snort!"

"That's the extermination order?"

The dissatisfaction on Darius's face became even more intense.

"certainly!"

"But that's only a last resort. We won't use it unless it's absolutely necessary."

Horus smiled, not denying it, but also not admitting it.

"so……"

"Your Excellency, Legion Commander, are you not planning to give up on the Taiwei Galaxy?"

"Even if you and I have an agreement?"

Speaking of this, Darius finally saw through the other party's plan.

"Your Excellency General!"

"The order given to us by the Emperor is to take back all the original colonies of Terran humans, which naturally includes this Taiwei galaxy!"

"but……"

"In view of the agreement between you and me, we are currently adopting a cautious and conservative approach. Otherwise, I'm afraid there will not be only two scientific research ships arriving at Huagai Star."

"But no matter what, our loyalty to the Emperor is unconditional. No matter what method is adopted, the Emperor's orders must be implemented!"

"At present, I think it is necessary to monitor Chaos and other threats on Huagai Star?"

Horus cunningly did not directly admit that he intended to break the agreement, but at the same time he did not deny it, but said so loyally and proudly.

"Yeah?"

"What a coincidence, our loyalty to the head of state is also unconditional. No matter what method is adopted, the order of the head of state must be implemented!"

"And the order given to us by my head of state is to save the survivors on this planet and expel the demons on the planet. Therefore, Your Excellency, Legion Commander..."

"Let us consider those two ships of yours as scientific research ships, and let us also believe that those thousands of space warriors are expedition members?"

"But I don't want more ships to appear, otherwise, our sector will retain the power to take decisive measures!"

After saying that, Darius and the other party looked at each other for a while, and then after barely reaching a tacit understanding, he turned off the communication with some annoyance.

""

"This bastard!"

Bang!!

After the communication was closed, he naturally hammered the table hard in anger.

But there is no way!

Now they really don't have many means to counter each other, and their ships only have one poor Noxus, and the new battlecruiser Ha is still in a dock on a certain planet and in an asteroid belt.

He was working overtime in the shipyard, and the crew was undergoing emergency training. Coupled with the series of troubles on Huagai, he really had no way to deal with the opponent now.

Therefore, he didn't dare to be too harsh when speaking, and he didn't dare to fall out with the other party directly. He could only drag the other party slowly and try to buy time as much as possible, but other than that, he really didn't have much other options.
