Lin En sat in a seat so comfortable it was almost indecent, looking down through the porthole at Brevis growing steadily larger.

He saw the endless white ice plains.

He saw the majestic structure spanning between the ice plains and the plains, the Frost Ban Wall.

He could even see, against the white background of the ice plains, those green moving blotches that appeared from time to time.

And the "snowflakes" occasionally kicked up by violent explosions near the Forbidden Wall.

"The war is indeed fierce," Lin En thought to himself, though his face remained calm.

Up to now he had thought that those fighting desperately at the Frost Ban Wall were Brevis's native Planetary Defense Force or Noble Private Soldiers.

He was still considering how to establish prestige in Brevis and quickly find his footing.

According to information provided by Kaili and Isud, the next destination would be the State Religion Cathedral of the Bravius Main Hive.

He needed to receive a grand State Religion Mass there.

Only after receiving formal recognition and blessing from the Archbishop of Brevice District of the State Religion.

Could he take from the State Religion the "Governor's Scepter," symbolizing the Governor's dual secular and religious power.

The Valkyrie Fleet landed at the Upper City's dedicated helipad.

When Lin En stepped out of the hatch, the glaring artificial sunlight made him somewhat unaccustomed.

This was a "luxury" unique to the Upper City, sunlight many Lower City people never bathed in their entire lives.

Outside the pad were Brevice Citizens gathered to "welcome" the new Governor.

Their clothes were bright and beautiful, they raised both hands and jumped up and down, indicating "warm welcome."

Enthusiasm overflowed on their faces, carefully rehearsed standard smiles.

A line of lyrics Lin En didn't know where came from automatically popped into his mind:

"You come from Terra~, change me into a suit of snow white~, want to eat Cantonese cuisine~"

He had planned to casually say a few polite words to get by, but when his gaze swept past the people behind this group, his movement paused for a moment.

Behind those people in fine clothes, at a distance, in the place cordoned off by a warning line, stood another group of people.

Their clothes were tattered, their faces gaunt, many of them thin as skin and bones.

Their gazes were numb and hollow, their bodies had varying degrees of mutation, barely maintaining human form.

Their numbers accounted for over ninety percent of the Brevice Hive City.

But in this "Welcome Ceremony," they were only allowed to occupy less than one percent of the positions.

Like beggars who had mistakenly entered a magnificent theater, completely out of place with the bright surroundings.

If not for the regulation that everyone in the entire hive must participate in this welcome ceremony.

They would never appear in the Upper City in their entire lives.

The moment he saw these people, Lin En changed his mind.

He withdrew the smile on his face, raised his hand to signal Gus.

"Bring out the 'greeting gift' we prepared."

Gus immediately understood, directing several Ogryn Bodyguards to carry four heavy metal boxes out of the Valkyrie cargo hold, placing them with a thud in the center of the helipad.

All gazes instantly focused on these four boxes.

The "citizens" in fine clothes curiously looked around, and a trace of doubt also flashed through the numb gazes of the Lower City people.

The four accompanying Noble Faction representatives also looked over, with varying expressions.

Lin En walked to the boxes and nodded at Dou Dou.

Dou Dou understood, stretched out his big hand, and opened the boxes one by one.

With a "clatter"

The box lids flipped open, and the things piled inside rolled out, scattering all over the ground.

They were heads.

They were mountain-like piles of all kinds of xenos heads!

The first box rolled out heads with pale skin, exquisite and distorted features, and pointed ears—Dark Eldar.

The second box was a pile of bald heads highly similar to humans—Gene Thieves.

The third box was heads with strange blue skin, smiles still on their faces, growing small tentacles or scales—Chaos Believers.

The fourth box was hideous xenos covered in chitinous carapaces—Tyranids.

Over four hundred xenos heads in total, piled into small hills under the artificial sunlight of the helipad, emitting a deathly stench of rot and blood.

The visual impact was extremely strong!

The scene that had just been lively and noisy instantly fell into deathly silence.

The smiles on the faces of the "citizens" in fine clothes froze, replaced by horror and bewilderment.

Many instinctively retreated, covering their mouths and noses.

Even the numb gazes of the Lower City people showed fluctuations.

Even some with poor acceptance showed abnormalities on the spot, but were immediately executed by the PDF on site.

The reactions of the four Noble Faction representatives were also different.

Carter's gaze was sharp as he carefully examined those heads, nodding in approval.

The SDF Marshal frowned, disapproving of this kind of grandstanding.

The State Religion Bishop put away his kindly smile, his gaze solemn as he stared at Lin En.

The Noble Lord exaggeratedly covered his nose with a handkerchief, his face full of disgust.

The atmosphere was awkward to the extreme.

Seeing this, Gus took a deep breath, stepped forward, and said in a loud but still somewhat trembling voice:

"Everyone, don't be afraid!"

"These are all Xenos that Governor Kerry·Feng Sir heroically slew on his way to Brevis!"

"They are proof of Governor Sir's great martial power and infinite loyalty to the God Emperor!"

He paused for a moment, shouting at the top of his lungs the line he had prepared in advance:

"The Governor comes, Brevis is at peace! The Governor comes, the blue sky appears~~~!"

He shouted with all his might, his face turning red.

But no one below responded.

The "Crowd" were still immersed in fear and disgust, not having come back to their senses.

The Lower City people remained numb, while the Noble Faction representatives each pondered something.

The scene became even more awkward.

Just as Gus's forehead began to sweat, not knowing how to wrap things up.

"Clap, clap, clap…"

Clear applause rang out.

It was Lin En.

He smiled, clapping unhurriedly, his purple eyes sweeping over the whole scene.

Seeing the Governor himself leading the applause, Carter was the first to react and clapped.

The SDF Marshal glanced at Carter and reluctantly clapped twice as well.

The State Religion Bishop performed the Eagle Salute, praying for something.

The Noble Lord, seeing Lin En glance at him, shivered all over before reluctantly clapping perfunctorily.

Seeing the Noble Faction's "statement," those "Crowd" finally came to their senses and hurriedly followed suit with applause.
