Kaili heard this question, and a wry smile also appeared on his face.

"Adult, this is also me, no, it is one of the most troublesome problems you will face after taking office."

Kaili said, "Brevis has held on until now for no other reason; it is simply that Brevis itself is very 'strong'."

"Strong? Tell me in detail." Lin En said.

Kaili recited Brevis's internal information like counting treasures:

"The main human residential areas of Brevis are divided into two parts: the Main Hive, and the scattered Mutant Settlements on the Ice Plains."

"First, the Main Hive; it is divided into three layers: Upper City, Middle City, and Lower City, each controlled by a different power."

"The Upper City is ruled by the 'Noble Council', composed of Brevis's main body noble families."

"They control the topmost area of the Nest Capital and possess the best living environment."

"More importantly, they control the current main production channels for food and Purified Water in Brevis."

"The Middle City is controlled by the 'Industrial Alliance', composed of the descendants of workers left over from the Industrial World era."

"These people master the few remaining weapon and ammunition production lines in Brevis, as well as a large number of technical workers."

"They control the manufacturing lifeline of the Nest Capital and have well-armed Private Armies in their hands."

"Although their numbers may not match the Planetary Defense Force, their equipment is far superior."

Kaili took a sip of water, cleared his throat, and continued.

"The Lower City is a loose confederation composed of the lowest survivors, miners, wanderers, and orphans of the Nest Capital, calling themselves 'Wasteland Walkers'."

"They are the most numerous, live in harsh environments, and are also very tenacious."

"They control the underground network of the Nest Capital, abandoned mining areas, and some shady transaction channels."

"Their armed forces are a mixed bag, their equipment is shabby, but they are familiar with the terrain, fearless of death, and often go scavenging on the Ice Plains."

He summarized: "These three powers each possess considerable armed forces and Dingxi."

"The relationship between them is complex, mutually cooperating and mutually hindering."

"When facing the invasion of the Orc Barbarians, they had to temporarily join forces to barely stabilize the Defensive Line."

"But internal consumption and mutual suspicion severely limit the overall war potential."

Lin En nodded in approval; it seemed this fellow had truly put effort into studying Brevis.

This was reasonable; no matter how dire the situation, as long as there were enough people, humans could not help but engage in Internal Strife.

This was a flaw engraved in human bones.

"But if the Noble Council controls food, and the Industrial Alliance controls weapons."

"Then logically, the Industrial Alliance that masters weapons should have more advantage."

"Why does the Noble Council dominate? Are they not afraid of being overthrown by the other armed forces joining forces?"

In this Warhammer Universe of stone-carving, whoever has the gun has the say; this is an iron law.

Hearing this question, Kaili's expression became quite remarkable.

His expression was mixed with awe, fear, and strong envy.

"Because the leading family of the Noble Council is......"

"The Giant Bear Saint Galus Family."

He slowly spat out the full name of this family.

In Lin En's eyes, a rare emotion of shock appeared.

Holy Bear Galus.

This naming format, animal name + surname, is a typical Knight Family naming method.

Knight Family.

This term in the Warhammer Universe represents a group of extremely special existences.

They come from "Knight Worlds" scattered throughout the galaxy.

These worlds usually have extremely high technology levels but always maintain a feudal social structure.

Knight Families are the ruling class of these worlds; every family worships "Knight Mecha" passed down through generations.

That is a giant war machine several stories high, weighing thousands of tons, originating from humanity's Golden Age.

One Knight Mecha walking on the Battlefield is enough to change the local Battle Situation.

A Knight Family is even a strategic-level force.

They are the symbol of the Human Empire's military might and also the "Knight Lords" belonging to Warhammer 40,000.

Kaili did not wait for Lin En's response and continued:

"Adult, you have already seen the Gene Secret Order just now, and I believe you have guessed some clues."

Lin En did not deny it.

"The Saint Galus Family originally did not belong to Brevis, nor even to the Calixis Sector."

"They came from a destroyed Knight World."

"After their homeland was destroyed by some unknown disaster, the surviving family members, taking the surviving Knight Mecha, began to wander."

"About four hundred standard years ago, they drifted to Brevis, which had just completed its transformation."

Coincidentally, Brevis encountered a large-scale Xenos invasion.

The Governor at the time was helpless, and the Planetary Defense Force retreated battle after battle.

The Imperial Navy's support was hindered by the Warp Storm and did not arrive for a long time.

At the critical moment, the Giant Bear Saint Galus Family stepped forward."

Kaili seemed like a wandering bard telling a legendary tale.

"The Knight Mechas descended from the sky like moving fortresses.

Their heavy steps triggered earthquakes, cannon fire scorched the earth, and giant swords split the cloud layer.

In less than three days, the Xenos army was routed."

"To repay the life-saving grace, and also to retain this powerful force, the Governor at the time reached an agreement with the Saint Galus Family.

Bestowing them noble titles and fiefs, recognizing their legitimate status on Brevis.

And the Saint Galus Family swore loyalty to the Governor, and promised to provide protection when Brevis was in danger."

"From then on, the Holy Bear Galus took root on Brevis, and gradually became the most powerful family in the Noble Council, without exception."

Kaili's voice unconsciously lowered a bit:

"And, they have a very close relationship with the Machine Cult branch of Brevis; this relationship makes them even more powerful."

His final tone carried a trace of helplessness: "So, Adult, do you understand?"

"Even if other forces were given ten times the guts, they would not dare to openly resist the Noble Council.

Unless, they are prepared to face the wrath of the Knight Families."

After listening to Kaili's narration, Lin En leaned against the chair back and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid Qi.

Green-skinned Warlord, Knight Family, three-legged tripod internal forces, Machine Cult, State Religion.

And the secrets about the planet itself hinted at in the Secret Order.

This Brevis, the water is truly deep.

No wonder a Nest Capital of a remote star system could hold out this long in front of the Green Skin's Waaaagh.

Even though they have been mutually pulling skin internally, their foundations are not weak, and there is a Knight Family as the divine needle to calm the sea.

And Kaili this coward actually still fantasizes that he can be a good Planetary Governor, and shamelessly says he wants to "offer tribute" to himself.

I'm afraid he hasn't thought through the danger of this position at all; with his ability, even if he truly became Governor.

He would probably be executed in the first year for failing to pay the Empire's Tithe.

Lin En glanced at Kaili, who had fallen into some kind of fantasy again and even started grinning foolishly.

Instantly his Qi was not in one place.

This waste is still having his Governor dream?

Lin En raised his hand and gave Kaili's forehead a big slap.

"Ouch!" Kaili cried out in pain, covering the top of his head, looking at Lin En blankly and aggrievedly.

"A, Adult, you are……"

"Stop daydreaming. With your little ability, going to Brevis to be Governor, you wouldn't even know how you died."

Lin En said coldly.

Kaili opened his mouth, just about to argue something, but saw Lin En's gaze that was the same model as his wife's "hate iron for not becoming steel".

He timidly shrank back again, muttering softly: "I, I also prepared for a long time……"
