Protoss in Warhammer

Chapter 78 73. Angel
What is an angel?
Martin Nate once knew what angels were from childhood fairy tales and from the mouths of pastors who came from the city to preach in the countryside.

Angels are the descendants of the God-Emperor. They will represent the God-Emperor's will by sending down wrath and fire, as well as kindness and rain. They are the guardians 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, angels did not come down to save them.

Living in the agricultural world, he originally had a very happy family. His parents were both Astra Militarum soldiers who served in the 104th Regiment of Cadia, and they were both very lucky to survive until the end of their retirement.After retiring, his parents and brothers who had been through life and death were eventually assigned here and owned a piece of land.

He clearly remembered what his childhood life was like. There were four people in his family, his parents, himself, his sister, a big dog, a car, and two farm machinery.How wonderful those days were!You can eat plump steaks and drink fresh milk every day.

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

Just like now, prices are soaring, 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 mortgage. When they didn't even have 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 her to be used as a mortgage.His mother cried and begged him not to do this, but in the end she was beaten severely by the people from the Ministry of Justice, her lungs were pierced, and she died of asthma on the bed two days later.Father also left this world one day after his mother died, and when Martin found it, his feet were dangling 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 or death is unknown.

Martin was only 14 years old when all this happened.

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

But today, when he just came back from those big farms and saw how much an energy bar sold in the market, the money in his pocket and the food for tomorrow may not be missing.In order to provide food to the surrounding expeditionary forces, the agricultural world actually allowed famine to occur in its own world.

"An energy bar costs 300 empire coins...why don't they grab it?!"

An old and ragged worker next to him looked at the form above with a shocked expression. Martin frowned and continued reading: protein tablets cost 400 yuan a bag, buckwheat bread cost 1000 yuan each, energy bars cost 300 yuan each, and solid starch. 150 yuan a bag…

This is all a joke!In the past, the price usually removed a zero and gave it a half discount!

"Why is it so expensive?! Are the profiteers in your camp maliciously raising the price?!"

A big worker yelled angrily at the store owner after seeing such a high price in the market.But the other party just glanced at him and said weakly
"It doesn't matter what you say, you can either go outside and buy them at the same price. Whether you like it or not, if you don't have money, you can go dig worms out of the soil and eat them."

"you!!!"

Hearing the boss's arrogant words, all the workers immediately became angry and wanted to show off this reckless guy.But in the end, the bald man just looked at them contemptuously, suddenly pulled out a shotgun from under the table and pointed it at everyone.

"I'm warning you, this store is the property of the Governor's Mansion. Anyone who dares to attack here is equivalent to attacking the property of a noble. I don't need to say what the consequences will be, right?"

"Anyone who knows better, get out of here!!"

How did the crowd think that the other party would make such a move, and backed away in fright.After seeing this, Martin shook his head and walked back with a sigh.

Looks like I'm going to be hungry again tonight.

Thinking about not being able to eat tonight, his heart didn't fluctuate much. After all, he didn't always have food every day.

Martin was walking on a small road among tens of millions of acres of farmland, accompanied by hired workers who were just as frustrated as he was. There were also agricultural workers who had just gotten off work and didn't know what was going on and wanted to buy some food from the store.

Looking up at the sky that had been dyed red by fertilizer, Martin suddenly felt that this was a sign. He seemed to remember those people at the bottom screaming and clamoring about the so-called angels who were the four-armed messengers of the God Emperor before they arrived. scene.

He sneered at this and said the same as he said before, how can there be any angels?Even if their so-called four-armed angel comes down, it will 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 wants to go back to his broken bed with one leg missing, with a nest on it to reduce heat loss so that he will not fall off during tomorrow's work and avoid being fired by the farmer.After all, if he works for another day, he can collect 100 imperial coins, and at least he can buy a bag of corpse starch for cushioning.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 who looked like a lady 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 can'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 the 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 sentence was:
"You shouldn't come back here, sister, it's too messy here!"

Nova nodded after hearing this and said
"Maybe I 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

"Don't you..."

"You have to do this."

Looking at Mia who shook her head in front of him, 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 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 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 on the inside of Damocles Bay, but the most important thing I will always remember is that those hypocritical angels cannot save us, Only we can save ourselves!"
