The Emperor’s Angel of Death

Viletts had long known about what had happened to Solarian here, and after seeing the gloomy expression on Solarian's face, she gently placed her hand on the back of his hand.

"Of course he's afraid. Although it was his father who was in charge when you came, he's been telling me that their family has been trying to make up for the mistakes of the past all these years."

"Oh? Make up?"

"He told me to bring something for you to see."

"Let me see."

Viletts gently pressed a projection data pad on the table, and then, in the ripples of water, a picture appeared in mid-air.

It was an incredibly magnificent church with white walls and golden spires. Comparing it to the surrounding trees, one could see its height was astonishing. At the same time, in front of the main church's spire, there was also a shrine with a pure white statue of an Astartes holding a sword with both hands, the tip of the sword pointing down and gazing into the distance. Although the face was unclear, Solarian knew it was him from the armor details. Then the picture turned, entering the interior of the church. In the magnificent main hall, flowers and statues were everywhere. The snow-white pillars were exquisitely carved, and the towering dome was painted with many images, most of which were Space Marines in silver-gray armor. Of course, the Emperor was still in the very center.

Then the picture turned to a row of shrines on the side. These shrines contained processed white bones, adorned with jewels, creating a sense of unsettling fanaticism. However, when Solarian saw the words carved next to one of the bone shrines, the corner of his eye twitched slightly.

Ventricos

Dirty greatcoat

A bloody face and maggot-filled eye sockets.

Teeth stained black with congealed blood, a severed tongue, and a rotting mouth.

Liar

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, walked over, and smashed the data pad with a punch, startling Viletts.

".Sorry."

Seeing the somewhat astonished expression on Viletts' face, Solarian rubbed his forehead.

"I scared you."

"It's nothing... Is it?"

"I remembered some things."

Solarian looked at the wreckage of the data pad, his eyes gradually becoming disgusted.

"These people, wouldn't it be better to spend this effort on building their own territory and improving the lives of the people? They're wasting money and manpower to cover up their guilty consciences, and they're even enshrining the dead. What? Are they afraid I'll investigate afterward? If I really wanted to investigate, they would have been uprooted long ago. Is this what they call making amends? Idiots! A bunch of idiots! It's these countless parasites that have riddled the Empire with holes, allowing all kinds of toxic blood from the Warp to seep into the Empire's body!"

After a long sigh, Solarian turned around and sat on the cold stone throne, leaning his head back slightly.

"These few families, one is basically finished, supported by a servant. The other three are worse than the other. Viletts, which one do you think is slightly better?"

Viletts walked over, sat on Solarian's lap, reached out and gently massaged his temples, and said softly:

"Actually, you can support a new family entirely."

"Alas, I won't be staying here for too long. I'll leave after finding the Titan. So, the top priority is stability and serving as a missionary base for the Holy Flame Order."

"If that's the case... Oh, right, do you know that these three families told me the same rumor?"

Solarian opened his eyes, his beautiful blue eyes meeting Viletts'.

"What rumor?"

"That the little governor seems to have some kind of forbidden relationship with his male servant, who is also the commander-in-chief. That's also why he was excluded from the family circle."

Solarian was stunned for a moment, then sighed softly.

"Ah, that's possible. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain his bottomless trust in a servant... Is there any clear evidence?" "According to the investigation, it seems so. According to some family members, Yuri's parents died very early. He was raised by his aunt and was like a girl since he was little... And Kemir came to his side as his servant when he was eight years old. It seems that he has been inseparable from this servant since then, appearing very dependent."

"Tsk, how is each one more outrageous than the last? Alas... it's not about choosing the best, it's just about comparing who's the least bad."

"Why are you frowning again? Veronica used to say that you should frown less, or you'll become an old man soon."

"Forget it, let's observe for a while longer. If it really doesn't work, I'll meet with the person from the Pechinka family and give him a chance, considering that the Eastern Continent hasn't been affected by the war. What's the situation with the Ecclesiarchy?"

"What else could it be? A mediocre and useless bishop leads a group of cowardly and greedy priests, guarding a scripture whose teachings have been modified countless times. To tell you a funny story, the Ecclesiarchy's holy site on this planet is Mount Karasatt in the Southern Territory. Surrounding it are the largest group of churches on the planet and an ancient city. When the Orks invaded, the bishop vowed in the cathedral that he would lead the parishioners to resist the aliens and fight to the death, martyring himself. But when the Orks really attacked, he abandoned those who were resisting desperately and ran away. Not only him, but many high-ranking priests also slipped away in the crowd, some even disguised as nuns."

Hearing this, Solarian subconsciously gritted his teeth again.

"Deal with them, deal with all of them. Are there any useful people?"

"There are some, mainly among the lower and middle-level priests. There are indeed many among them who are steadfast in their faith and capable. For example, there is a low-ranking priest named Segundo who, after the local administrator and the army withdrew, led the people to hide in the deep mountains and insisted on guerrilla warfare against the Orks. He himself had his left foot bitten off by an Ork-raised beast in battle, so he tied a short knife to his calf for support and continued fighting. More than five thousand people have survived to this day because of his efforts. In addition, Mount Karasatt was not completely captured because of a priest named Dussel. He stood up in the chaotic situation after the bishop fled, directing the evacuation of the old, weak, women, and children, and deploying defenses. He did something very controversial, which was to set fire to a large number of ancient buildings around the holy site, using the fire to block the Orks' advance, and he pushed down many ancient statues as roadblocks and bunkers. Relying on the relatively dangerous terrain of Mount Karasatt, he barely persevered in the tide of the Orks' fierce attack, and many combat heroes emerged."

"Record all of these people. I'll meet them personally later. How is the rescue of the strongholds in the Southern Territory that are still holding out progressing?"

"Rescue is still being carried out according to a plan that prioritizes population size, but there are a lot of Orks active in the Southern Territory, so rescue is somewhat difficult."

"I see... Then the mobile force composed of Steel Striders and Doomriders from the Alathemes Forge World that is still in orbit will also participate in the Order's operations."

"Mmm..."

Just as she responded, Viletts suddenly let out a delicate moan with a tremor. The "cover plate" in front of her robe, which was covered by layers of fabric, had already been lifted, and the plump and tender fruits were being wantonly tasted. At the same time, the large hand that had retracted its gauntlet had also moved to the position of her buttocks.

"Mmm, so much fire, ah..."

Suddenly, a series of rapid beeping sounds rang out. Helplessly, Solarian connected to the armor's communicator, while Viletts leaned against him, her head against his face, panting slightly.

"Deeterian, what's wrong?"

"Lord Commander, the exploration team seems to have discovered the buried Titan. The Forge Worlds have all sent people over. I'm worried there might be a conflict..."

"I understand. Send me the location. I'll take people there immediately."

Viletts reached out and stroked his face, then gently kissed his lips.

"Go, darling. I'll preside over things in orbit for you."

Solarian also kissed her back.

"This world is said to have a very unique scenic spot. I'll take you to see it when the war is over."

"Mmm~"
