1947, God of Decay (中)
Shepard was dismissed.
Because of two things - the extinction of Xilu people, and the handover of human battery technology. In both cases, her decisions ran counter to Tang Xiao's instructions.
For Xilu people, Shepard believes that no matter how heinous a crime Ssi-ruuvi Imperium has committed, this crime only needs to be borne by the top brass of Ssi-ruuvi Imperium. The civilians of Xilu people are innocent, and they must not be punished because of the mistakes of top brass.
Therefore, she is also firmly opposed to Xilu people's Extermination Order.
But the officials from Duchy of Dawn told her that according to the investigation, during the expansion process, Ssi-ruuvi Imperium exterminated at least seven races, turned all these races into human batteries, and massacred at least tens of billions of people. Therefore, Ssi-ruuvi Imperium's crimes are absolutely countless.
And because the use of human batteries has penetrated into every aspect of Xilu people's life, they even use the energy of human batteries to boil water. In other words, even the civilians of Xilu people watched a living being twisting painfully on the human battery without changing their expressions or heartbeat, and then still ruthlessly extracted energy from their bodies.
Therefore, every Xilu people is an accomplice to the genocide committed by Ssi-ruuvi Imperium!
On the contrary, although Pia'ek people occasionally uses batteries, most of the time they still use ordinary energy. Even in the warships they built, human batteries accounted for no more than one-third, and these were all irreplaceable parts based on technologies based on human batteries.
Therefore, Xilu people must be exterminated, because every Xilu people has taken it for granted to ignore the lives of other races. If such a race is not exterminated, should we wait for them to slow down and continue to treat other races as human beings?
Therefore, the race Extermination Order of Xilu people was finally issued, no matter how much Shepard objected, it was useless. And in this matter, not many people support her. Even many people in Exploration Fleet feel that Xilu people should be exterminated.
In addition, regarding human body battery technology, Tang Xiao requested to hand it over, but Shepard opposed it even more resolutely. Of course, on the matter of human batteries, the people at Exploration Fleet still have the same opinion, that is, this technology must not be allowed to spread.
They are worried that Duchy of Dawn will become another Ssi-ruuvi Imperium. Even if this is not the case, other Ssi-ruuvi Imperium No. 2 and Ssi-ruuvi Imperium No. 3 may be born because of this technology.
Not only that, even Pia'ek people hates the technology of human batteries. After all, whenever Xilu people runs out of batteries and cannot find other races, then it is Pia'ek people who is tied to the battery.
Therefore, before the instructions from Duchy of Dawn came over, they had already started cleaning up the human battery technology. With the help of Pia'ek people, by the time Tang Xiao asked them to hand over the technology, basically there was nothing left of this thing in Levik planet.
Then, Shepard, who was straightforward in his work, still took the matter on his own initiative and had a direct conflict with Tang Xiao.
In the end, even though Tang Xiao got angry for a while, he just let it go. After all, he was just curious about the human battery, and he didn't think it was very important. He just forgot about it. However, he was still very annoyed by Shepard's disobedient behavior, and then directly dismissed Shepard.
The current Shepard is just a Private First Class on Normandy, and the Commander of the spaceship is now Ashley Williams.
Shepard ye doesn't care about this. Anyway, Unknown Regions's exploration is not a matter of a day or two. Anyway, she has no intention of returning to Dawn Star Planet. And Tang Xiao only dismissed her but did not transfer her back. This approach also showed his attitude.
Xilu people began to be sent away in batches. They were concentrated on one of the colonies occupied by Xilu people, and then executed by Orbital Bombardment. And the entire process of executing Orbital Bombardment is controlled by robots, with absolutely no human soldiers participating.
Execution of prisoners is no better than on the battlefield. Such organized extermination will have a great psychological impact on the executioners, and they are likely to turn into cold-blooded demons or even lunatics. Such unstable factors must not appear in a team like Exploration Fleet that has left its homeland in the first place.
General Lepix was imprisoned in a high-level prison in Levik planet, together with the most senior officials who had been captured. The plan is to send them back to Dawn Star Planet for public trial, and also promote them as one of the achievements of Unknown Regions's exploration.
After all, the elimination of Ssi-ruuvi Imperium was an act of justice for Duchy of Dawn, and it was natural to publicize it widely.
However, since being captured, General Lepix and other high-level officers who were captured together have been depressed, and they don't know why. But this incident is not unexpected. In the eyes of those Guardian soldiers, they fell directly from the Empire Supreme Military Commander to become prisoners. It is normal that some cannot accept this gap.
Lepix leaned against the wall, feeling weak all over and moaning loudly.
At this moment, something like brown sludge suddenly flowed out from under his body. The sludge seemed to be alive, flowing silently along the corner of the wall to the door of the cell, and then slipped in through the crack in the door.
The two Guardian who had been standing at the door had no idea what was going on. They just stood straight and stared outside the cell.
But they didn't realize that the threat came from the direction of the cell!
The mud has been creeping up their trouser legs and has become so thin that it can't be seen without looking carefully. Then, it went directly into the ears of two Guardian!
Guardian immediately felt itchy in his ears. He scratched it, but found that the itching feeling seemed to have gone to his head, so he knocked on his head and felt uncomfortable.
Then suddenly, they only felt a pain in their brain stem! Then all the discomfort disappeared, so they muttered whether they felt uncomfortable, changed defense to take some medicine, etc., and continued to stand guard.
This happened not only to Lepix, but also to the senior officers who were captured with him at that time. A stream of sludge flowed out of their bodies. This sludge flowed out of the cell as if it were alive, and then began to seize every opportunity to get into the bodies of everyone they knocked down!
What's even worse is that one of the sludge kept flowing, and finally got into a camp where Xilu people was detained! This place holds a total of 10,000 Xilu people!!
The next day, the soldiers who were changing the defense came to the prison, and the soldier in charge of the gate came to the guard box, but before the handover started, he realized that something was wrong.
Because the soldier standing guard was standing in the wrong posture at all! He stood crookedly, as if his body had no strength. He looked careless, not like a soldier, he was clearly a drunken hooligan!
"What are you doing!?" the soldier who was changing defense shouted angrily. Such a thing happened in the Fourth Civilization Army, which has strict military discipline. It is a complete shame!
"Ah... I'm sick." The soldier said, but his voice was very hoarse and did not look normal at all.
The guard-changing soldier immediately became vigilant and took a step back. "What happened to you? Report it immediately!"
"I..." The soldier showed a weird smile, and the next second, he suddenly started and pounced forward!!
