Chapter 312 Very bad news
……

spire.

Governor's residence.

Anton walked in the corridor underground of the mansion, and from time to time he heard slight shouts and deafening sound of cannons, and the sound of logging gun shooting never stopped.

These sounds came from the audience hall, which shows how fierce the battle was there.

"The guards are really difficult to deal with." Anton muttered to himself, but he did not panic and continued to walk in the underground passage.

The attendant followed Anton, and as he walked he saw the walls covered with photos.

They are all photos of Anton's father with the mechanical hound, and each of the mechanical hound's wives.

The reason why it was possible to tell that those women were the wives of mechanical hounds was because they were all crying, their mouths had been transformed into iron dog mouths, and their hands had been amputated and fitted with iron dog claws.

This is the first time that the attendant has followed Anton to this place. He only became Anton's attendant half a year ago. The photos of the former governor that he has seen are all of his family, and he has never seen any photos with the hound.

"Sir Governor, why does your father... like mechanical hounds so much?" The attendant couldn't bear it any longer and asked.

Anton answered expressionlessly: "About 80 years ago, our family went hunting in the Nest, and my father brought his mechanical hound. The hound was a gift from a Mechanicus priest who had a good relationship with him... …”

The attendant nodded. He knew that most of the hive nobles' entertainment methods include hunting living people in the hive.

"We chased a family and entered a long-abandoned drainage pipe. There were some insect-like monsters inside, and there were many bald heads."

"The Guard was dead, my mother was torn apart, the Hound was separated from us before being nailed to a wall with a fork by a bald man, and eventually it was just me and my father left."

"When a monster opened its bloody mouth and was about to eat me, the injured mechanical hound came all the way to protect us and scare off the monster."

"My father believes that the mechanical hound was sent to him by the Ohm Messiah and the God-Emperor, plus it saved his life, so our family loves it very much."

After listening to the story, the attendant suddenly realized, thinking that no wonder the former governor liked his mechanical hound so much. Even if the hound was killed by the usurper, he would not hesitate to sell the population of a residential area for money, and then send the body to Agrippina for repair.

"Lord Governor..."

"Ok?"

Anton glanced at his attendant.

The attendant trembled and asked: "Why do the wives of hounds always change..."

"What do you think?" Anton asked.

The attendant quickly shut his mouth and continued to follow Anton in the passage.

They walked for a full half hour, and every half meter along the way there were pictures of the Governor with the Hound and the Hound's new wife.

Finally they came to a large door.

Anton used his own blood to open the door and walk in.

The attendant's eyes searched the dim light and saw a...monster sitting on a skeletal throne.

It had arms and legs, was extremely fat, had purple skin, and had an astonishingly round bald head.

Anton saluted it.

The monster nodded in response.

"After you see the results of the imperial guards' investigation, I will organize the guards to attack them." Anton reported respectfully.

"Idiot." The monster's mouth didn't open, and the voice rang directly in the heads of Anton and the attendants, "You are showing your hand. If you don't show your hand, only you and your family may die. There are still people in the sect who can lie dormant. Get up and bide your time...our entire sect's big plan has been ruined by you!"

Anton frowned, very dissatisfied.

He is still a human being, not one of those purple-skinned bald men with a spirit of sacrifice, who cannot yet sacrifice the lives of his whole family for the so-called big plan.

"What's the use of your showdown? Can you beat the Tyrones?" asked the monster.

"You can't defeat it, but you can struggle for a while." Anton asked the monster again, "So what if there is no showdown? Can you survive the Tyrone attack and continue your big plan?"

The monster was silent.After a minute of silence, the monster said angrily: "I let you go when we came down from the nest. You didn't really think that the hound could protect your lives, right? Later, I helped you regain the position of governor..."

"What do you want to say?" Anton asked.

"I want to say that no matter how things develop, we are insects tied to a rope!"

Anton nodded: "Yes, I know this very well."

"Okay, now go find me some food. I need to recharge my batteries to prepare for the next battle." The monster closed his eyes and said no more.

Anton glanced at the attendant beside him: "I've brought it to you."

……

5 minute later.

A mountain of corpses was piled up in the spacious audience hall.

Anreda dragged the last enemy's body out of the penetrated tank and threw it onto the mountain of corpses, then set a fire to ignite the body.

After doing all this, Anreda sat on the burning corpse. His bionic skin began to burn and gradually revealed the metal skeleton, but he no longer cared because most of the skin on the body surface was destroyed in the battle just now. .

There was nothing thrilling about the battle with the noble guards, they were just killing one after another. As a civilian in the guard, he still had the fighting ability of a royal guard.

"One...two..."

Anruida sat in the flames and counted the family emblems she had just collected, and recorded the families represented by these emblems in the database. Next, she would start purging these traitorous families.

After recording all the traitor families, Anruida threw the badge into the flames and sent an urgent communication request to Qin Mo.

"Governor."

When Qin Mo's face appeared on the image, Anruida saluted and greeted him, then told everything that happened in Beisu, and finally put forward his own idea: "I suggest that the Beisu nest be cleaned."

"I think so too." Qin Mo looked distracted, "Yaoen, that Space Marine, you, plus Gray, the four of you should be enough to clean the spire of the hive city. First, remove all the rebellious families on the spire. Kill them, and then direct the army to clean out the lower and lower nests.”

"As ordered." Anruida saluted again.

The communication was hung up by Qin Mo. It was obvious that he didn't care much about the gene stealers appearing in the Beixiu Galaxy.

The scale of gene stealers in Beisu Hive City must be astonishingly large, much more than there were in Tai Lung One when it was still a hive city... But today is different from the past.

[A large number of hostile personnel were scanned. 】

A message appeared in Anreda's field of vision.

On the map in the upper right corner of the field of vision, dense red dots are gradually approaching the audience hall.

Soon Anruida saw the first group of enemies, which were the remaining noble guards and the tower guard team.

These people surrounded the audience hall and established a blockade under the cover of armored troops.

Anruida sat on the mountain of burning corpses and watched all this indifferently.

At this time, the battle in Area 1 of Xiachao has ended. Yaoen and Chen Ye teleported from Xiachao to Anruida together.

Information was shared among the guards, and Yao En already knew Lord Tai Lung's orders.

Gray also flew into the orbit of Beisuo-[-] on his Imperial Guard battleship, but instead of teleporting, he airborne directly from the orbit.

Everyone on the ground saw a fireball falling from the sky and hitting the audience hall.

In the smoke-filled ruins, a figure wearing a guard's power armor carrying half of a chain sword slowly walked out.

The Genestealer officers present were horrified when they first saw the half of the chain sword. They could even sense the souls of their own kind wailing between the saw teeth of the chain sword.

"I have some very bad news for you. Ten minutes ago I was teaching a female naval officer how to swim on the Tyrone III." Gray's voice was amplified enough for everyone present to hear, "Then, then I was called Thank you very much for coming over."

The only response to Gray was lasers hitting the gravity shield and various live ammunition.
