Chapter 1247: Kesi Surrounded

After Sulajie and the others left, only those Aliens from minor factions remained in the hall.

They looked at Sanguinius in terror, not knowing what would happen next.

Sanguinius looked around at them.

"You, are you all here to watch the gladiator matches?"

Everyone nodded one after another.

"From today on, operations here are suspended. When they will resume is uncertain. You have two choices: one, leave now and register for departure according to standard procedure; two, stay and wait for our arrangements."

A bold Alien asked.

"My lord, what does it mean to stay and wait for arrangements?"

Sanguinius looked at him.

"It means waiting for us to verify whether any of you have participated in illegal activities, funded enemies, or done anything against the Human race. If so, you will be dealt with according to the law. If not, you will be released."

The Alien's expression changed.

"My lord, we are just here to watch the matches, we really didn't..."

"It is best if you didn't."

Sanguinius interrupted him.

"If you did, confess now and you may be treated leniently. Once we find out, it will be too late."

Everyone looked at each other, and no one spoke.

Sanguinius waved his hand.

"Take them all away. Register them, investigate them. Those who cooperate will follow the procedure. Those who do not..."

The Blood Angels warriors stepped forward and began escorting those Aliens out of the hall.

At this moment, a discordant voice sounded again.

"You cannot do this! We are legal merchants! We have contracts! We have agreements!"

A gorgeously dressed Alien rushed out, attempting to resist.

Sanguinius glanced at him.

The next second, that Blood Angels warrior's Chainsword had already fallen.

The Alien's head flew up, and blood sprayed out.

A gasp of shock erupted in the hall.

Sanguinius's voice was as calm as ever.

"Does anyone else want to try?"

No one spoke again.

Everyone obediently followed the Blood Angels warriors and left.

After clearing up the affairs at the orbital station, Sanguinius took a squad of Blood Angels and landed on the surface of Eris.

The landing point was located at the planet's largest spectator stand.

Inside the management center of the spectator stand, a group of Fengqi Star Alliance administrators were trembling.

They wore exquisite uniforms, and their three eyes were filled with fear.

Sanguinius walked in, and they all knelt to the ground in unison.

"Spare us, my lord! Spare us, my lord! We are just employees, not the decision-makers!"

Sanguinius looked down at them.

"Stand up and speak."

They stood up tremblingly but still kept their heads lowered.

"How does this place operate?"

Sanguinius asked.

A Fengqi who looked like a supervisor stepped forward, their voice trembling as they spoke.

"Reporting to you, my lord, the Gladiator Arena participants come from all over the Bode Star System; some are captives of defeated races, and some are races that participate voluntarily."

A flash of coldness crossed Sanguinius's eyes.

"What happens to those participants in the end?"

"Those who survive are the races that participate voluntarily, and they can receive generous prize money. Those who die... are just dead."

"What about the spectators?"

"Spectators come from all over the Bode Star System. We provide two ways to watch: remote viewing and on-site viewing. Tickets for on-site viewing are very expensive, but one can experience the atmosphere of the gladiator matches firsthand. Betting is also an important part of the gladiator matches, and there are huge wagers on every match."

"From now on, all of this belongs to the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance."

The supervisor's face turned pale.

"My lord, we... we are just employees..."

"I know. That is why you still have a way to live. Hand over all the information you know and cooperate with us in taking over. If you cooperate well, I can consider treating you leniently."

The supervisor nodded repeatedly.

"We will definitely cooperate! We will definitely cooperate!"

The flagship of the Keluo Ke Empire, the Scepter, slowly sailed away from Eris, its warp engines beginning to preheat in preparation for entering the warp tunnel.

Inside the Bridge, Kesi, the third heir to the Keluo Ke royal family, was sitting in the command chair, his four eyes burning with intense rage.

"That damned Primarch."

He said through gritted teeth.

"Who does he think he is? Daring to insult me like this?"

His Adjutant, a burly Keluo Ke with deep purple skin, said cautiously.

"His Highness, that Sanguinius is indeed very strong. His psychic power... is too terrifying."

"Strong?"

Kesi sneered.

"So what if he is strong? Our Keluo Ke Imperium has dominated the eastern half of the galaxy for three thousand years; what kind of strong individuals have we not seen? Back then, we fought the Zerg for a hundred years and eventually slaughtered them until not a single piece of armor remained. Some trump cards of the Alien Race are just things that last a few seconds longer in front of our Kraken Warriors."

Mentioning the Kraken Warriors, a trace of pride also appeared on the Adjutant's face.

Kraken Warriors, one of the elite units of the Keluo Ke Imperium, are warriors selected from ten million people.

They have been implanted with combat enhancement organs, and half of their bodies have undergone modification.

A single Kraken company can contend against an entire ordinary army.

"His Highness is right. This time it was our lack of preparation that let them take advantage. Next time we come, we must let them know our power."

Kesi nodded, his expression softening slightly.

"After we return, I will personally report to the Emperor. The Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance, hmph, a newly risen force that thinks it can run rampant just because it destroyed that trash Feng Qi's star alliance? Let them wait. When our great army arrives, let's see if they still dare to be arrogant."

He stood up, walked to the observation window, and looked at the starry sky outside.

"How much longer until the jump?"

"Three minutes, Your Highness."

"Very well. In three minutes, we will leave this godforsaken place. Next time I come, I will bring a million-strong army to blow up that Eris star entirely and make that Primarch kneel in space and beg me..."

His words were not finished when the ship's alarm sounded.

"Your Highness! An unidentified fleet has been detected! Approaching from the rear flank! The number... ten ships! No, twenty ships! Their energy signatures... are the same as that Primarch's fleet from just now!"

Kesi turned around abruptly, his four eyes widening.

"What?!"

He rushed to the screen and looked at those red light dots that had suddenly appeared.

Twenty warships, deployed in a fan shape, were surrounding them at an astonishing speed.

"Impossible! They already let us go, how could they..."

"Your Highness! They are catching up! The jump engine still needs two minutes to warm up!"

Kesi's brain spun rapidly.

Two minutes. On a cosmic scale, two minutes can determine life and death.

"All combat units, enter level one combat readiness!"

He roared.

"Shields at full power! Weapons warming up! Kraken Warriors, prepare for boarding actions!"

Thirty seconds later, the Blood Angels Legion's fleet completed the encirclement.

A gentle yet cold voice came through the Communication Device.

"Ships of the Keluo Ke Alien Race Imperium, this is the Blood Angels Legion. Immediately shut down your engines and cease resistance. Repeat, immediately shut down your engines and cease resistance. Otherwise, we will take forceful measures."

Kesi's face turned livid.

"That Sanguinius, he never intended to let us go from the start!"

"Your Highness, what should we do?"
