It is a great loss for the empire to maintain welfare benefits for a person who has little output.

Eating fish in a seaside city and eating fish in a desert city are definitely not the same price.

Most of the materials in the solar system are transported from outside. Even with the current advanced technology, the cost is high.

Sending them to other galaxies can reduce the cost of equivalent welfare benefits.

Everything must be compromised for the benefit of the empire.

The coexistence of fairness and inequality in the empire is an unspoken rule.

The smarter you are, the greater your contribution to mankind, and those who bear more responsibilities enjoy more privileges.

Don't imagine that a high-ranking general is equal to a civilian enjoying the welfare and support of the empire.

The empire's promotion system requires absolute openness and transparency.

Any citizen from any region with no bad record can join the empire's bureaucracy and military system.

The only thing that limits them is their ability.

Any attempt to be promoted by means other than ability will be regarded as a crime of betrayal of humanity and is a punishment of the highest level.

It is handled by the Imperial Inquisitor.

Once it is confirmed that there is any fraud, the result will be either a punishment camp or lobotomy and used as slave labor.

This impersonal system allowed the empire to maintain stability.

If you have enough ability, you will be successful.

If you lack ability, no one can blame you.

Under such a system, those who can come to Terra and participate in work are basically the real elites, not the second generation who are just pretending to be numbers.

The operational efficiency is naturally far from being comparable to departments composed of incompetent officials.

Even if a massive expedition is organized, these officials can handle it with ease.

Most of the Exorcist Chapter assembled aboard their Celestial-class battleship, the Eternal Contempt.

After receiving orders from Terra, Chapter Master Enoch returned to the solar system from the edge of the galaxy.

In addition to these, other Chapters also returned to participate in this expedition.

"Another expedition." Pluto, the think tank of the battle group, stood beside Enoch, looking at the vast sea of ​​​​stars.

Countless warships are moored motionless in the void port.

Their energy reactor operations are kept to a minimum.

Simply to ensure the energy needs of the ecosystem.

Like a sleeping giant, lying in the void, waiting to be awakened.

"In today's general situation, expeditions appear every day. Those heroes are like the stars in the sky, it is difficult to remember all their names. I hope this is an important battle, the Exorcist Chapter and others

Compared to the Brotherhood, it is somewhat unknown." Enoch said with a slight regret in his heavy armor.

This is the most glorious era, and heroes are rising every moment, gaining fame and honor on the battlefield.

Leave their names and statues in the Heroes' Square of Terra.

Enoch also had some desire for this.

The Exorcists Chapter has participated in many battles so far, but its achievements are really not impressive compared to other Chapters.

Their current main mission is still to defend the galaxy and resolve subspace invasions on planets with weak barriers.

If in the past, being able to repel a subspace invasion would definitely be something worth publicizing and remembering.

But now, repelling the Inanimate Ones from the Warp is no longer even worthy of the Empire's attention.

The Inanimate Invasion has been defined by Imperial bureaucracy as a minor event on the level of hive rebellions.

It is too difficult for the Exorcist Chapter to gain the qualification to enter the Plaza of Heroes of Terra by virtue of its achievements in strangling the invaders of the real universe.

"Didn't they reveal our mission this time at the military meeting a few days ago?" Pluto asked.

Enoch shook his head, "They didn't know anything about this. They just asked the soldiers to train according to the orders and requirements of the Holy Emperor. The Holy Emperor did not intend to reveal the destination of this trip. I just hope that this is a

Great war."

Having said this, Enoch clenched his fists.

"If there is a big war, the Exorcist Chapter will definitely seize any opportunity to gain merit and let there be a statue of our own in the Heroes Square of Terra. Even if it costs my life, I will not hesitate."

"Is that really okay!! Sacrificing yourself for a reputation." Pluto found it difficult to understand the chapter leader's fanaticism.

"If there is nothing and is so unknown, then what is the meaning of living? Many war groups are fighting hard, will the Exorcist Chapter be worse than them?" Enoch whispered: "More

What's more, it is our duty to sacrifice for the sake of the Holy Emperor and mankind. Death will eventually come to everyone. It is nothing more than the difference between earlier and later. Then why not let your life burn to the fullest?

?”

Pluto shook his head.

"Let's not talk about the construction of sculptures in Terra. Judging from the scale of this gathering, it must be a big war. The Holy Emperor has recalled many warriors who have sacrificed. According to some rumors, it is very likely that they will also

Participate in this meeting.”

"If it's really a big war, then it's the best. The Exorcist Chapter is no worse than those heroes who passed away and returned."

Enoch looked at the dazzling sea of ​​stars and countless imperial warships, his eyes showing determination.

The Exorcist Chapter will definitely leave a statue in the Heroes' Square on Terra.

Not just the Exorcists Chapter.

Many war groups have this idea in mind.

The empire is growing stronger and stronger.

The fruits of victory are getting bigger and bigger.

If they don't work hard, they will really be forgotten.

Tulsa was transported from the biology laboratory and sent to a recovery hospital.

What he saw left him speechless.

Those who had clearly sacrificed before him became active in front of him again.

Some of the companions who had been on the battleship Sisyphus all recovered.

They endured different tests, but in the end they all obtained physical bodies and returned to the real universe.

"I never thought we would meet again." Brantan, the former captain of the Sisyphus, stood beside Tulsa's bed and whispered.

Sharogin, Wieland, Numen and others were also standing beside him.

They returned a little earlier than Talanza, and now they have passed the most difficult recovery period and only need the final evaluation before they can leave the recovery hospital.

The Sisyphus is an attack cruiser belonging to the Iron Hands Legion. It has been highly modified and equipped with a black stealth hull that does not reflect any radiation.

Played a vital role in the outbreak of the Horus Heresy.

Many loyalist Legion soldiers were evacuated from the landmark on Istvan 5.

The survivors also used the cruiser to conduct guerrilla warfare against the rebels, disrupting enemy logistics routes and plundering naval vessels that betrayed the Empire.

They even plotted to assassinate the Primarch.

Unfortunately it didn't work out.

The ship also participated in the Solar War until it was badly scarred and was finally thrown above the solar system's disk by the turbulence of the subspace.

The final outcome is that Wieland, in order to protect the original parent, let Sharokin hide behind an abandoned coaling station, drive the battleship into the void, and lure away all the enemies.

Tulsa didn't know what happened after his death.

It was Sharokin and others who told him.

After experiencing so much, and now being able to meet again, each of them was so excited that it was difficult to calm down.

"Recover soon, so that we can fight side by side again." Numen said: "Don't worry about us belonging to different legions. The previous legion organization has been disrupted, and we returnees can only choose new ones.

War group, or form a war group yourself, Terra will assist us."

"The legion organization has been broken up? Can we only join a new fighting team?" Tulsa looked confused. He had just woken up not long ago and didn't know much about the changes that had taken place in the empire.

"Yes, I will tell you the detailed details after you are discharged from the hospital."

The matter of legion restructuring cannot be explained clearly in just a few words.

This matter can only be explained clearly by starting with the siege of Terra and the splitting and army building that Guilliman led after becoming the regent of the Empire.

For several days, Sharokin and others were communicating with Tulsa about the current situation in the empire.

I heard that most of the warriors from the 30k Horus Heresy had returned and were received by the Holy Emperor.

He was also shocked.

What Prime Minister Makado said was not a lie.
