Chapter 228 Another return and a vague omen
The war in the northern theater was like a sharp sword pressed tightly against Orps' back, firmly attracting the attention of the entire Orps in its early stages.
Although the people of this sector have long been like citizens of other war zones in the empire, two entire generations have been born in the flames of war, and they have long been accustomed to news of war.
But the significance of the northern theater is still too important, so that anyone who knows something about the geography of the Orps sector will inevitably be full of worries about the battle of the Chaos Fleet.
There is no other reason. As the last line of defense in the northern part of the Orps sector, the Gainkatin galaxy has no room for error.
Fortunately, the time from the start to the end of the war was much shorter than imagined, so that the hearts of the people in the sector did not even have time to be shaken;
Fortunately, the presence of Calvin allowed the people to have unrealistic fantasies about the Krieg fleet heading straight north despite their worries.
All in all, whatever the reason, when the news of victory from the north spread like a spark across Orpheus, the entire sector jumped and cheered.
Everyone has seen how the Northern Fleet has been struggling in the past ten years;
It was precisely when this force, which had not had much expectation placed on it, took the lead in bringing victory back to Orps, that the people of the entire sector would be even more grateful to them.
One of the two sharp thorns in the hearts of the people of Orps has been completely removed so far;
The main force of the star fleet on the other side is naturally expected to have more expectations at this time.
But the top officer of the Grand Fleet didn't think so. He knew the situation of the Northern Fleet very well, and he was extremely lucky to be able to keep the enemy out of the star zone.
As for wiping out an entire Chaos fleet, that is as ridiculous as a fantasy.
In his opinion, this victory was definitely the work of external forces.
It's just that he is so worried now that he no longer has the energy to understand who is responsible for this drama.
Yes, at this time, Admiral Juan, the admiral of the Orps sector fleet, was in great trouble.
Just a few days ago, the Krieg fleet left Amara, the capital of the sector.
The high-level personnel in the star area were shocked in a short period of time.
First of all, Margarita, a high-ranking inquisitor of the Alien Tribunal/Extermination Council, died suddenly in her official residence without any warning before or after.
The Inquisition in the sector has lost its loudest voice and is falling into leaderless chaos.
Just one day later, Sir Harold, the local leader of Orps and the new Imperial Governor of the Orps Sector, also lost his mind and fell into madness.
The patriarch of the Ondan family is now unconscious. Apart from hearing the words "flesh banquet" being repeated from his mouth, the internal affairs department of the sector has gained nothing.
At first, Juan didn't care. After all, the sudden death could be an assassination from a political enemy, but the possibility of natural death could not be ruled out either.
But when Sir Harold also had problems, Juan couldn't sit still at all.
Two of the leaders of the three largest political forces have had security problems in a short period of time.
This can hardly be regarded as a coincidence, and since it is not a coincidence, then according to the political instinct of "whoever benefits, who is suspected":
The mid-level bureaucrats and local forces in the entire sector immediately looked in Juan's direction.
The admiral of the naval fleet, the imperial admiral Juan, was speechless, restless, and unable to defend himself against such a look.
He could understand such a look very well, and even if he were not the only survivor of the Big Three, he would have reason to doubt himself.
But the current situation is that this matter really has nothing to do with him;
And he is being forced to bear the political price of "assassinating his colleagues" that he cannot bear.
The other two forces expected to be leaderless, collapsed and disintegrated did not appear.
Juan and his naval officers were surprised and uneasy to discover:
The political environment within the sector, on the contrary, resulted in some strange unity towards him with the same hatred and hatred due to the unexpected deaths of two big figures.
The situation was completely out of control at this point.
Juan did not dare to take any action to attract more doubts and blows;
Nor dare we sit idly by and allow certain undercurrents to continue brewing and surging.
He and his navy officers were caught in a dilemma, unable to extricate themselves, let alone save themselves.
Just at this time, news of victory in the northern theater came from the front.
So amidst the eerie silence of the middle and high-level people in the sector, the unsuspecting citizens of the empire at the bottom celebrated the victory in the northern theater.
This oppressive news saved General Juan's political life in a sense.
But this did not come from the intelligence itself, but due to the timely reminder from the authorities of the Storm Star Territory, Juan finally found the existence of the Krieg fleet and the authorization mark for their armed expedition in the list of notes attached to the good news. .
A high-ranking Lord Inquisitor of the Inquisition, a representative of the Joint Meeting of the Inquisition of the Imperial Council of High Lords, and a high-ranking member of the Holy Hammer Order.
When this series of titles that can be regarded as both power and force are gathered in one person, and this lord is in Orpheus;
Juan vowed that no matter who he was or what he would bring to Orpheus in the future.
At this time, he was willing to offer his loyalty to this adult and then hand over all the rights in his hands to prove his innocence.
In fact, he did the same thing, but this action later caused him to have countless nightmares at midnight, thinking about what his fate would have been if he hadn't had this experience...
But this has nothing to do with reality. In Amara, the capital world of the Orps sector, ten days later, the victorious division from the northern frontline battlefield is returning here.
After decades of combat, naval officers urgently need a grand ceremony to commend their bravery and loyalty.
This is especially true for the soldiers and sailors at the bottom. The liquor and girls in the Capital World Star Port are their best solace.
Young people after the victory will write countless stories here; maybe about love, maybe about money.
But no one among the nobles in the sector cared about this.
At this time, they were at Amara's towering star port that reached into orbit, anxiously and fearfully waiting to be received by the big shot on the silver-gray battleship.
What they didn't know was that the man who theoretically stood at the top of the empire's power hierarchy had fought here more than ten years ago.
The lord knew Orpheus well and was disgusted by the power struggles throughout the sector. ‘
As the man returned to Orpheus, guarded by thousands of Astartes warriors.
What awaits the local nobles and local forces here will never be a gentle face.
