The Protoss in Warhammer

Chapter 78 73. Angels

What are angels?

Martin Nett once knew what angels were from fairy tales in his childhood and from the preachers who came from the city to preach in the countryside.

Angels are the descendants of the God-Emperor. They will represent the will of the God-Emperor to bring down anger and fire, as well as mercy and rain. They are the protectors of mankind.

The Empire and its angels will always protect the people of the Empire.

If Martin were still under ten years old now, he would probably continue to believe such nonsense. Because when his family's land was taken away by local officials, the angels did not come down to save them.

Living in the agricultural world, he originally had a very happy family. His parents were both Star Army soldiers, serving in the 104th Regiment of Cadia, and were very lucky to survive and retire. After retiring, his parents and those brothers who had been through life and death were finally assigned here and owned a piece of land.

He clearly remembered what his childhood life was like. There were a total of four people in the family, his parents, himself, his sister, a big dog, a car, and two farm machines. What a good life it was back then! Every day, they could eat delicious steaks and drink fresh milk.

But ten years ago, everything was broken by that damn expedition.

Just like now, prices soared, financial chaos, and economic crisis. They first paid taxes with imperial coins, and then when they had no money to pay taxes, they used land and houses as collateral. When they had no land and houses, the officials still asked them to hand over things.

A tax collector fell in love with his sister, who was only 12 years old at the time, and asked to use her as collateral. His mother cried and begged him not to do this, but she was beaten by the people of the Ministry of Justice, and her lungs were pierced. Two days later, she died in bed with asthma and pain. His father also left this world a day after his mother died. When Martin found it, his feet were shaking on the beams of the study that no longer belonged to them.

And his sister is said to have joined the expedition with the official. The official died there, and his sister's life and death are unknown.

When all this happened, Martin was only 14 years old.

Now 34 years old, he no longer believes in angels. The only thing he believes in now is where the money in his pocket and tomorrow's food are.

However, when he just came back from those big farms today and saw how much an energy bar sold in the market, his money in his pocket and tomorrow's food might not be there. In order to provide food to the surrounding expeditionary forces, the agricultural world has actually caused famine in its own world.

"An energy bar costs 300 imperial coins... Why don't they go and rob it?!"

A ragged old worker next to him looked at the form above with shock. Martin frowned and continued to read: protein tablets are 400 yuan per bag, buckwheat bread is 1,000 yuan per piece, energy bars are 300 yuan per piece, solid starch is 150 yuan per bag...

This is all a joke! In the past, the price was usually reduced by a zero and a half discount!

"Why is it so expensive?! Is it because the profiteers in your camp maliciously raised the price?!"

After seeing such high prices in the market, a big worker shouted angrily at the store owner. But the other party just glanced at him and said weakly

"Whatever you say, you can go outside to buy it, the price is the same, you can buy it or not, if you don't have money, you can go to the soil to dig worms to eat."

"You!!!"

Hearing the boss's arrogant words, all the workers immediately ignited their anger and wanted to teach this ignorant guy a lesson. But in the end, the bald man just looked at them contemptuously, and suddenly pulled out a shotgun from under the table and pointed it at everyone.

"I warn you, this store is the property of the Governor's Mansion. Anyone who dares to attack here is equivalent to attacking the property of the nobles. I don't need to tell you what the consequences are, right?"

"Get out of here if you know what's good for you!!"

Everyone didn't expect the other party to have this trick, and they retreated in fear. Martin shook his head after seeing it, and walked back with a sigh.

It seems that I will be hungry again tonight.

Thinking that he won't have food tonight, his heart didn't fluctuate much, after all, he didn't always have food every day.

Martin walked on the small road in the middle of tens of millions of acres of farmland. Beside him were hired workers who were as discouraged as him, and farm workers who had just got off work and didn't know what happened and wanted to go to the store to buy some food.

Looking up at the sky that was already dyed red by fertilizer, Martin suddenly felt that this seemed to be a sign. He seemed to remember the scene before the so-called four-armed emperor messenger angels arrived when those people at the bottom screamed and clamored.

He sneered at this, just like what he said before, where are the angels? Even if their so-called four-armed angels came down, it would probably be just a new oppression, or even worse.

Finally walking back to his small shack of only one or two square meters on the edge of the farm, Martin opened the door without any hesitation. Now he just wanted to go back to his broken bed with one leg missing, curling up on it to reduce the loss of heat so that he would not fall off tomorrow's work, so as not to be fired by the farmer. After all, if he worked for another day, he could collect 100 imperial coins, at least he could buy a bag of corpse starch first.

But when he opened the door, he was surprised to find a girl sitting on his bed. She was dressed neatly. Although the material was not very luxurious, it was just an ordinary coat, but her figure could clearly tell him that she was a nutritionally healthy person.

There are very few people on this planet who are in such a situation.

Martin looked at the lady in front of him carefully and whispered

"Madam, why do you come to me?"

"Are you Martin Wright?"

Martin was stunned for a moment when he heard that, and frowned and said

"Yes, it's me."

But the lady-like woman actually shed tears after hearing this. She sobbed and tried to keep her words normal.

"Long time no see, brother."

After hearing these words, Martin felt his head buzzing. He couldn't help but take two steps back and looked at the woman in front of him in shock and disbelief. Although Martin was very excited, he didn't dare to be completely relieved. He really couldn't believe that the woman in front of him was actually his sister who had been missing for many years. Said in a hopeful tone

"Are you...Mia?"

"It's me, brother...wait? What did you say, Martin? Are you sure you didn't call me the wrong name?"

The original excitement of the woman in front of me suddenly disappeared after hearing this. She showed a dead fish face and said something speechless.

"My name is Nova! Nova Wright!! You won't really forget..."

But the relative she had not seen for a long time did not let her finish her words. Martin could no longer control himself and hugged the woman in front of him.

"Welcome home, sister..."

The blame in my heart was immediately swallowed back into my stomach, leaving only tears of sadness and excitement. After crying to each other for nearly 20 minutes, Martin looked at his sister in front of him with red eyes, and his first words were:

"You shouldn't come back here, sister, it's too messy here!"

Nova nodded after hearing this and said

"Maybe I really shouldn't be here, but now I have to come! Because I have a mission to come here."

Martin was startled when he heard this. He quickly looked around to make sure there was no one, then lowered his voice and said

"Did you..."

"You have to do this."

Looking at Mia who shook her head in front of her, Martin touched his forehead with a headache and said after a while.

"You don't understand, sister, they can't be trusted! We can't leave our destiny to those aliens!"

"We are not handing over our destiny to them, but giving our destiny back to ourselves as humans!"

Nova said excitedly after hearing this. She stared at Martin with purple eyes in front of her with a pair of purple eyes and said

"We don't need any new angels, humans have the ability to re-choose our destiny!"

"But you have to understand that those people have guns in their hands, and they can really kill people..."

"How long will we have to live under the oppression of tyrants and fear?!"

The younger sister in front of her, who seemed to be in a different world from her brother, said excitedly after hearing this

"We mortals have the ability and need to control our own destiny! Brother, I learned a lot of knowledge inside the Gulf of Damocles, but the most important thing I will always remember is that those hypocritical angels cannot save us. Only we can save ourselves!"
