However, due to sub-space interference, it has deviated from its planned course.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to the lifeless mechanical report, the old man standing beneath the Divine Emperor statue slowly opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning around, his face, etched with deep wrinkles like mountain ridges, weathered by time and frost, appeared as unyielding as ancient bedrock!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On his chest hung dozens of medals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each one was awarded by the Empire, symbolizing his exalted status and countless contributions to the Empire!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief silence, a flicker of impatience crossed his brow, yet his tone remained calm, preserving noble dignity: “How much longer until we reach Losel?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“According to predictions… at least thirty-seven days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lifeless voice continued from the communication array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Too long…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horne gazed out the viewport at the endless star river, a look of weariness appearing on his face, faintly tinged with barely perceptible concern: “Inspect the hull for damage, replenish supplies at the nearest nestmetropolis as soon as possible. Then… connect me to ‘Aluman Vila.’ I need more accurate intelligence.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Star message delivered.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cathedral-like holy chamber fell silent once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the dimmed communication array, Horne paced anxiously beneath the Divine Emperor statue, waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Star message from Losel Nestmetropolis World—shall I connect it for you?” The communication array activated again, projecting a virtual image.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally receiving the communication request, Horne spoke urgently: “Connect the star message.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Respected Mr. Horne, have you arrived at the Losel planet yet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aluman asked with evident urgency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m deeply sorry, but… we’ll likely be delayed by about a month before reaching Losel.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horne took a deep breath, his face filled with guilt: “But rest assured, I will reach Losel as quickly as possible. How is the situation there?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s dire… Mr. Horne.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aluman’s voice was heavy: “Seventeen days ago, Governor Galken Khalid… was assassinated by a cult during the Emperor’s Ascension Festival. Death has been confirmed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The planetary governor was assassinated? What were the guards doing?” Horne frowned tightly—he never expected Losel’s situation to deteriorate so rapidly in just a month and a half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could already foresee how chaotic Losel Nestmetropolis would become without the governor’s control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The situation may be worse than you imagine…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aluman’s voice came through, laced with anxiety: “After the governor’s death, the cult immediately exploited the chaos and launched a direct assault on the nestmetropolis. Only the planetary defense forces and riot suppression units managed to hold them back at Mid-Nest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hss…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Horne couldn’t help but draw a sharp breath, his brows knitting into a deep frown: “What of the governor’s family heir? Don’t they know to rally troops and resist?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The heirs… were all assassinated.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aluman said helplessly: “When the governor was killed, the entire Hadley family was purged—not a single soul survived.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…What about other noble families?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horne’s teeth were nearly grinding to dust, his voice sharp with rage: “Even if the governor’s family was wiped out, surely other families remain? Is there truly no one left?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Horne, you overestimate them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, Aluman could not help but grit his teeth in fury: “Upon learning of the cult’s rebellion, the nobles of Upper Nest immediately sealed off all access routes to Upper Nest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Worthless! Worthless! Worthless!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horne’s temples throbbed with veins, his blood boiling; he took several deep breaths to avoid being literally enraged to death by those damned imperial parasites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now… now, how is the situation?” He gripped the control console, forcibly suppressing his rage, forcing himself to calm down and ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Fawu Force and planetary defense troops have temporarily held back the cult, but… they won’t last much longer.” Aluman pleaded urgently: “We need your help, Mr. Horne!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I will reach Losel as soon as possible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After steadying his breath, Horne interrupted Aluman before he could continue: “Tell me… is he safe?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, it was Aluman who fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eerie silence hardened Horne’s expression, flooding him with a terrible premonition: “What happened? Aluman!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sorry… he is missing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aluman’s voice was bitter, filled with regret: “Over half a month ago, he vanished alongside a Magistrate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did you say?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horne’s pupils shrank sharply; he froze, then roared like an enraged lion, fury blazing from his eyes as if ready to tear Aluman apart: “Say that again!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment’s silence, Aluman forced himself to continue: “He vanished during an investigation into cult activities in Lower Nest… his current status is unknown.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who sent him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horne’s voice turned icy, sharp as a blade, brimming with murderous intent; the air in the chamber seemed to drop several degrees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I did.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aluman said bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very well, Aluman Vila… pray to your Omnisiah. Pray that he is still alive—otherwise…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horne’s thunderous voice surged like an endless sea of corpses and blood, chilling Aluman’s spine even across the starlink!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I, Horne Valshius, swear before the Divine Emperor, in the name of the great Valshius Merchant Dynasty!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horne’s furious voice sent shivers down the spine: “I will spare no cost—even if the Empire holds me accountable—I will exhaust every family resource to make you and Losel pay a horrific price!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After ending the communication.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horne’s face darkened, as if resolved to a grim decision; he spoke low and firm: “Immediately, in the name of the Valshius Merchant Dynasty, send a distress signal to all starfleet units, Astartes Chapters, Magistrates… any force capable of combat, stationed in surrounding star regions—no matter the cost!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank you to “Northern Crown 3301” for the tip! And to all other patrons for your monthly votes—immense thanks!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PS: Pray my next month’s fee covers my hemorrhoid surgery.\u003C\u002Fp>",1163,"2026-06-20T00:45:41.385Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","c2eaba8327d9b4a6e0e7d6ced454288f697e6d5023659f1a6bdeb84a5d4bd5d3","starting-from-warhammer-to-raid-the-all-heavens-chapter-110","starting-from-warhammer-to-raid-the-all-heavens-chapter-108",588,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-from-warhammer-to-raid-the-all-heavens-cover.jpg"]
