The Emperor’s Angel of Death

Chapter 1761 Power and Balance

Facing Soshyan's refusal, Bertus Willibald was silent for a moment, and then lightly tapped the ground with the forged battle ax in his hand.

"Even if Angstrom is destroyed, it will never fall into the hands of heretics and traitors! I have sent instructions to all forges and foundries, and they will execute self-destruction in an hour!"

"Why bother, great sage, Angstrom's achievements today are due to the blood and sweat of thousands of technical priests and thousands of years of knowledge accumulation. I will not kill you."

"Um?"

"Your fate will be decided by Firestar. Before that, Angstrom will be governed by a joint council of seven sages until the new casting director is appointed by Firestar."

This is also a compromise plan that Soshyan has considered for a long time. It is too obvious to directly push the representative appointed by Reza to take office. Mars may be completely angered, but after all, he has an appointment with Reza first, and he did provide It was a great help, so let's change the way of thinking, let the director of casting remain vacant, and then arrange the position of councilor for Ruiza's dark son, this can be regarded as reaching an agreement, but it will not anger Martian too much.

Moreover, after experiencing this incident, Soshyan has a deeper understanding of the duality of the Mechanicus. Therefore, even Reza, who is currently cooperating on the honeymoon period, is hard to say that there will be no possibility of turning his face in the future. Now that the expedition is not over, An If Gustrom is completely controlled by them, he seems to have no bargaining chips in the follow-up negotiations with Reza. It is better to maintain a weak balance now, and as a middleman, let Reza maintain an effective position as much as possible. Ask for your own state.

The rest depends on how Reza competes with Angstrom's local forces. Anyway, the wedge of power has already been pierced by the other side. If Angstrom can't be controlled, then he can't be blamed. .

In addition, letting Mars decide Angstrom’s new casting director is also selling Mars’ face, reducing their possible hostility because of this incident, and keeping Bertus alive can also reduce the impact of Angstrom’s local forces on the expeditionary force. After all, if the director of casting dies in his hands, the bloodstains will be difficult to wash off from his gauntlets for a long time.

As for the cruel words he said before the war, I can only say that as a person who is responsible for hundreds of billions of lives, he needs to consider and make more choices, instead of doing things based on a sense of honor, although this sounds like some cunning The rhetoric of politicians, but it is also true.

This was also the reason why Soshyan asked Seth to guard the door. He guessed that Reza would probably arrange for an assassin to come in and completely solve the "little tail" of Bertus Willibald.

"You're sending me to Mars?"

After hearing what Soshyan said, Bertus Willibald seemed a little skeptical.

"I can't analyze the logic."

Soshyan stepped forward with a smile, lowered his head slightly and said softly:

"My relationship with Reza may not be as close as the sage thinks."

Bertus Willibald's vision device flickered slightly, and then he said in a lower voice:

"Commander Soshyan, I can actually give you more"

Soshyan shook his head.

"The ending has been decided and cannot be changed. I wish you a happy trip to Mars in the future."

After a moment of silence, Bertus Willibald suddenly raised the mechanical battle ax in his hand. It displayed the force field contained in it with a shining halo, and a gemstone the size of a human eyeball was embedded in it. A powerful power weapon, but also a scepter that symbolizes dominion. With this scepter alone, Bertus Willibald's rights to Angstrom's forge world can be declared.

The terminators immediately became nervous at the opponent's action, and activated the weapons in their hands one after another, but Suoshyan was not worried at all, and just looked at each other with a smile.

"Soshyan Alexei, Chapter Commander, according to the binary succession and the Mars Foundry General's Seal Edict, I am Angstrom's legal casting director. Only he can legally revoke my power, and only he can take it away. Take this scepter."

Soshyan raised his head slightly, and noticed that the lights on the dome of the temple had been extinguished at some point, and some vague figures were crawling in the darkness.

As he expected, although Seth guarded the door, Reza's mechanical assassin sneaked in.

If it wasn't for his presence, they might have already killed them.

He lowered his head, looked at Angstrom, the great sage at the end of his life, and said softly:

"Grand Sage Bertus, power is never given by a stick, but the unique meaning given to the stick by power. Once the halo of power dissipates, it is just a metal stick that now defines this power. The decision is in my hands, so if you are reluctant to part with this stick, you can take it."

Bertus Willibald was stunned, and then his logic analyzer clearly analyzed the meaning and connotation of each paragraph of Soshyan's words, each word.

Afterwards, he lowered his arms and hunched his back slightly, looking very frustrated.

"I understand. Please allow me to take my personal servants and some personal property."

"You make a list, and I'll have someone deliver it to you right away."

The great sage of Angstrom only took a few seconds to make the list, and printed it into a parchment scroll through his portable micro-printing device. Soshyan took it and handed it to Maximilian for him to follow Lists collect people and things.

After all this was done, Soshyan pointed to the gate.

"I'll take you out."

Perhaps because he had received too many surprises today, Bertus Willibald was even somewhat used to this abnormal behavior, and nodded slightly.

"my pleasure."

When walking in the corridor where a large number of cleaning servants began to clean up the wreckage after the war, Soshyan suddenly said to Bertus beside him in a very low voice:

"Great Sage, can those evidences and records be handed over to me."

"What?"

"We intercepted a Hoyland family fleet not long ago."

After Bertus' visual device flickered for a moment, he finally realized what the "evidence" Soshyan was referring to was.

However, he was a little hesitant, because once those things were exposed, not only would he be punished with death, but many people in Angstrom would have to die

As if guessing the other party's concerns, Soshyan chuckled and said:

"Don't worry, great sage, I'm only using it against other people, and it won't do you or Angstrom any harm, and I believe that such confidential data records must be kept on you alone, let alone leaked. "

After much thought, he chose to give in.

"I believe in you, Supreme Commander Soshyan. In fact, there is nothing we can do. The heretics control many key rare minerals, but we have never directly sold military funds to them~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Speaking, he took out a piece A small memory chip.

"The transaction records of more than a hundred years are in it."

"Thank you."

After Soshyan put away the memory chip, Bertus suddenly changed the subject.

"Also, about the Blessing Barrier, which is the Star Fortress that is about to be completed, what do you plan to do with it?"

"You can rest assured that it will always belong to Angstrom, and no one can take it away. Of course, if the situation in the war is tense, the expeditionary force may borrow it for a period of time, but I promise that it will never be transferred to other people or organizations. War When it's over, I guarantee with my heart and soul that it will stay in Angstrom."

Bertus nodded. He devoted all his time in Angstrom to the Star Fort, and this was the only legacy he could leave to the Forge World.

"Thank you, Captain Soshyan."
