Protagonist:

Lin En

Lena

One day before Lin En's return.

Inside the Governor's Mansion, in Chief Executive Carter's office.

Isud stood quietly by the window, gazing out at the Nest Capital.

She wore a simple, elegant white long dress, her golden long hair draped over her shoulders, her face devoid of any expression.

To outsiders, she was a taciturn, clear-and-cold-tempered Governor's Wife, and simultaneously a Spirit Energy User possessing precognition ability.

Last time Governor Sir encountered danger at Saint Galus Castle, if not for Madam Isud discovering clues, Governor Sir might have perished.

But no one knew that this beautiful Governor's Wife was actually a Perfect Doll manufactured by Lena.

All her thoughts and actions were remotely controlled by Lena.

"Madam Isud, is what you say true?" Carter stood before Isud, his tone somewhat agitated.

"Lord Lin En really took Kal II?"

Only then did Isud turn her head as if in thought, her voice clear, cold, and ethereal:

"Yes, I just now already saw what happened beside Governor Sir."

"He has successfully recaptured Kal II; that Green-skinned Warlord entrenched on Kal II is dead, Expeditionary Force casualties are very small, and Governor will return very soon."

Carter let out a long breath, his face revealing joy difficult to conceal.

The heart he had kept suspended for several months finally settled.

These past months, how difficult the Governor's Mansion's days were, only he himself knew.

Lin En took away almost all Elite Troops; the Governor's Mansion's power was Empty inside Brevis.

Nobles were restless, Green Skin harassment never ceased, and ever since last time Lin En encountered a Chaos Great Enemy ambush, more and more Doom Church and Chaos Cult appeared in Brevis.

Now, Lin En won.

Kal II was recaptured.

The Governor's Mansion's pressure instantly plummeted.

"Wonderful, truly wonderful!" Carter agitatedly rose.

"Emperor protect, Lord Kaili is indeed Emperor's Divine Chosen!"

He paused, looking at Isud, and asked:

"Madam Isud, do you think, if I announce this news now, is it appropriate?"

"Appropriate." Isud nodded.

"Announcing now can stabilize Human Heart right on time."

"Moreover, the Tithe Fleet is about to arrive; the higher Kaili's Prestige, the more bargaining chips we have for negotiation."

"I think so too." Carter nodded.

"I'll go arrange it immediately; announce this good news to all of Brevis at once!"

Soon, the broadcast loudspeakers in Brevis's Upper Level rang out first.

"Citizens of Brevis, I am Chief Executive Carter!"

"Now, I announce to everyone a heaven-great good news!"

"Our Governor, Emperor's Divine Chosen, Lord Keli Feng, led the Purification Expeditionary Fleet and achieved a decisive victory at Kal II!"

"We successfully recaptured Kal II Space Station. The evil Green-skinned Warlord Iron Pliers Chandler has been thoroughly purified by Emperor's wrath!"

"Before long, Governor Sir will return in triumphant victory"

"Emperor protect! Glory to Brevis!"

Carter's slightly agitated voice spread to every corner of the Upper Level.

And this good news, from the most noble Noble Spire, quickly spread to the filthiest Slum.

After a brief silence, all of Brevis instantly boiled over.

In the slums, countless raggedly clothed commoners rushed out of dilapidated houses, if those could still be called houses.

They waved their arms, loudly shouting Lin En's name.

Many among them had kin die at Green Skin hands.

Now, Lin En also counted as avenging them.

Even in the Noble Spires, many Nobles breathed sighs of relief.

Although they harbored dissatisfaction toward Lin En, they also knew Lin En's act also protected their Safety and interests.

If Kal II remained occupied by Green Skin, those damn Xenos would always hold the initiative.

"Keli Feng! Emperor's Divine Chosen!"

"Governor Sir Long Live!"

"Brevis Long Live!"

The name Keli Feng, at this moment, became the Soul Faith in the hearts of all Brevis people.

His Prestige reached an unprecedented height, becoming the Governor with the highest Prestige in Brevis's several Hundred Years, excepting the first Governor.

While in the Noble Council's secret meeting room, the Atmosphere was somewhat heavy.

Several dozen veteran Nobles sat on Chairs, faces gloomy, sighing.

"It's over, this time it's completely over." A fat noble held a wine cup and downed a large mouthful of wine.

"Keli Feng took Kal II, and now his prestige is at its zenith; we no longer have any chance to topple him."

"Yeah." Another noble sighed.

"Now, all of Brevis worships him like a 'god'."

"We couldn't beat him to begin with, and now those lowly commoners support him even more."

"And, the Tithe Fleet is arriving soon; just wait and see, Lin En will definitely take this opportunity to ruthlessly fleece us."

"Grain, manpower, military supplies... he'll demand all of it."

"What else can we do?" An old noble shook his head helplessly.

"You can't twist your arm against a thigh; now, we can only obediently cooperate with him."

"Otherwise, he'll casually pin a charge of betraying the Empire on us, and we'll all be finished."

Just as the nobles were sighing and groaning, Brevis Main Starport.

The Lightning Frigate had already entered the harbor and docked steadily in the Expedition Fleet's exclusive berthing area.

The hatch opened, and Lin En, bringing Lena, walked down from the escort ship.

The first important noble to discover Lin En's return was the Navy Commander of the Brevis PDF.

Half a year ago, when Lin En had just assumed the post of Governor, this Navy Commander treated him with extreme contempt.

He believed Lin En was merely a wet-behind-the-ears brat who got his position through luck, and understood nothing of military and political affairs.

He had even revealed a contemptuous expression in front of everyone at the time.

But now, when he saw Lin En again, the smile on his face was radiant, simply like a wrinkle-faced Pekingese.

He trotted all the way to Lin En's front, respectfully saluted with a standard military salute, his waist bent nearly ninety degrees.

"Governor Sir, you have finally returned; welcome back in triumph!" The Navy Commander's voice carried unconcealed flattery.

"On behalf of all Brevis Navy officers and men, I offer you the highest respect!"

"You are truly too great, to have actually retaken Kal II; you are the Angel sent by the Emperor to save us!"

Lin En glanced at him indifferently, not speaking.

This kind of weathercock villain, he had seen too many.

"Commander Sir," Lin En's voice was calm and indifferent.

"The starport's defense is entrusted to you; strengthen the alert, do not let any suspicious persons slip through."

"Yes! Yes! Rest assured, Adult!" Marcus hurriedly nodded and bowed.

"I will personally supervise my subordinates' patrols, guarantee no problems will arise!"

Lin En ignored him further and walked straight toward the exclusive transport aircraft parked not far away.

He had no time to engage in empty pleasantries with these people.

The Tithe Fleet would arrive soon; the time left to him was not much.

He must immediately return to the Governor's Mansion, inventory all supplies, and prepare to deal with the tax officials.

More importantly, he must immediately hurry to mobilize Brevis's wildmen, clean up the traces of Bug Race activity.

This Tithe Fleet might have Star Tongue Court's black ships.

The Silent Sisters on those black ships are all the Empire's most professional psyker hunters.

Their noses are keener than dogs'; if they discover the Bug Race's existence, the consequences are unthinkable.

The transport aircraft roared into the sky, flying toward the Governor's Mansion.
