Governor's Office Secret War Conference Room, the military clock hands on the wall point steadily to eight in the morning.
Only four hours have passed since they returned.
There are still 16 hours left before the showdown with the nobles.
In the center of the conference table, an encrypted impeachment document was spread out.
Valerius Brigadier General Costa teamed up with Hive City seventeen nobles and charged Fu Haoran with the three capital crimes of liaison with an alien race, private possession of illegal Adeptus Custodes equipment, and collusion with a cult. Noble Council passed it unanimously. Once sent to Inquisition, I am afraid that no one present will be able to survive.
Are you saying these evidences are false?
Who can guarantee that Imperial Ministry of Interior has not been bribed?
No one dares to pat their chests and say that they can escape unscathed, let alone clear their names.
The people sitting around the conference table are all people who were lifted up by Fu Haoran.
Wade, Ronan, Kaim, and Hawk are all young officers who crawled out of the Lower Hive mud pit, and none of them has a noble background.
In front of them was a holographic projection of Hive City.
"What? You want to kidnap Upper Hive noble?! You are crazy!"
Yuri, this former bastard of the nobles, now just wants to pry open the new boss's brain to see if there is shit inside!
He enlarged the projected map, pointed at Upper Hive and said, "Take a good look! There are only 8 bridges leading to Upper Hive, and each one is guarded by legions controlled by nobles!"
"The bridgehead is full of anti-tank Macro-cannon, Las-cannon. If you charge hard, you will lose your life."
"Even if you rush over, do you know how many defenders there are? Counting their direct troops and private soldiers, the number exceeds 500,000!"
"How many people do you have? You can only control 200,000 if you have a dozen!"
"Once you mobilize on a large scale, you will definitely be discovered! How many people do you plan to send to surround them?"
Yuri has been smuggling for half his life, and he knows every level and bunker of Hive City like the back of his hand.
So he felt that this plan was simply a farce that was destined to die.
"In addition, as soon as the gunshots in the banquet hall are fired, the surrounding 10 reorganized divisions will be able to complete the encirclement within half an hour. Your people will be packed into dumplings and there will be no way to retreat."
"Not to mention, once you conflict with the defenders, the noble navy in orbit will open fire immediately."
"Those masters don't care about the life and death of the civilians below. After one round of Macro-cannon, half of the Upper Hive will be destroyed."
There was dead silence in the conference room.
Yuri seems to think it is not enough, and plans to eliminate the last bit of luck.
"You bumpkins don't think that nobles don't bring bodyguards to a dinner party, do you?"
"There is no loser who can serve as a bodyguard for the nobles. One against ten is the basis. There are even Drukhari mercenaries from Commorragh. Killing you Lower Hive gangsters is just a matter of cutting melons and vegetables!"
"By the way, you can't ambush too many people in the banquet hall. If there are too many people, you will be discovered immediately."
"The only chance is to cooperate inside and outside. The people placed in advance can control the door first, and the commandos from outside can rush in. Only then can all the core members of the nobles be captured before the reinforcements arrive."
His tone was full of hatred that iron cannot become steel, and also had a trace of powerless helplessness:
"Even if we win the banquet hall, there is still one last hurdle."
"Based on what I know about that old guy Valerius, he won't risk coming to the banquet at all. He will only hide in the ship and wait for the result."
At this moment, Lucifer, who had been leaning against the wall, suddenly said, "There is good news and bad news."
"The good news is that Valerius's fleet has been transferred."
Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, Lucifer added:
"The bad news is that Valerius just rented a Lunar-class Cruiser from Rogue Trader and has arrived in the synchronous orbit."
There was a bang.
Yuri fell down on the chair, and after a moment, he yelled, "I knew that turtle grandson wouldn't take any risks!"
"Lunar-class Cruiser! This is the battleship of Imperial Navy. How are we going to fight this battle?!"
The expressions on other people's faces were also ugly, because everyone knew Lunar-class Cruiser's name.
That is the battleship of Imperial Navy, known as "the lifelong enemy of the enemy of the empire"!
Fu Haoran is even more aware that Lunar-class Cruiser has been the backbone of the navy from the time of Imperium of Man Great Crusade to the present.
Twelve times Black Crusade, even the largest Abaddon the Despoiler fleet is afraid of it.
Yuri gave up and said, "The five-kilometer-long hull, the ventral fin is 800 meters wide, and the left and right sides are full of Macro-cannon arrays and Lance turrets!"
"The only ship you can get, the Cobra-class Destroyer, is just a tin can floating in space in front of it. It is less than a quarter of the length of others. What the heck!"
"The only thing you can deceive yourself about is that this is a modified ship from Rogue Trader. The torpedo tube must have been removed and converted into a cargo hold, otherwise you wouldn't even be able to withstand one round of torpedoes!" He yelled to the end, his voice breaking.
Everyone was terrified, that was Lunar-class Cruiser.
Their Void Shield and armor cannot be penetrated by a Destroyer.
Even if you want to join the gang and behead them, there are nearly 100,000 Marines on the ship alone, and Wolf Spider Sentry Gun is paved in all the cabins. If you join the gang, you will almost die.
The morale in the conference room instantly hit rock bottom.
In the fixed impression of everyone at Hive City, the master of Imperial Navy is invincible.
The desperate reality caused chaos in the conference room.
Veteran Hawk slammed the table and roared angrily, "The worst that can happen is death! Even if you die, it's better than returning to Lower Hive and being an ant trampled to death by the nobles!"
"You are crazy, you are dying in vain!"
"Otherwise, what should I do? Surrender and go back to Lower Hive? Go back to the stinking ditch, and go back to the days when children can only starve to death!"
Amid the noisy debate, System Panel suddenly hit Fu Haoran's retina.
[Desperate choice mission triggered!]
[Option 1: Kneel down and surrender, hand over all military power and territory, reward: survive, be deprived of all Reincarnator permissions, and demoted to Hive City low-level slave.]
[Option 2: Lead the team to join the gang, behead Valerius Costa, reward: Lunar-class Cruiser technical drawing × 1, free attribute points +3, Hive World has complete control!]
[PS: Host, this wave can either reach the sky in one step or go straight to GG!]
Lucifer folded his arms and looked at Fu Haoran with interest, his eyes full of amusement.
She wanted to see how this mortal could be crushed.
Fu Haoran suddenly stood up, and the conference room fell silent instantly. Everyone's eyes fell on him.
Fu Haoran didn't say anything, just scanned every face around the conference table.
These people were all brought up by him with one hand, and they were lifelong friends who carried guns together.
Ronan, I just took my family to Mid-Hive, the two children together are less than ten years old.
Kaim, my mother has just been admitted to the hospital, and my younger siblings can finally have enough to eat.
Hawk, over sixty years old, he is still working hard just to let his grandson live like a human being.
These people are all brothers who followed him all the way from Lower Hive.
After watching for a long time, Fu Haoran finally spoke, his voice was calm, but it overwhelmed everyone's breathing.
"I know this is a narrow escape, I know the enemy is an imperial battleship, and I know our chances of winning are slim!"
There was dead silence in the conference room, even the sound of breathing stopped.
Fu Haoran's eyes fell on Yuri, Ronan, and everyone.
"But fate is fair. If you want to get something, you have to pay for it."
"But I, Fu Haoran, will never let you rush to the front for me!"
"So, I will personally lead the team in this beheading operation." He raised his hand and slapped the Bolter on his waist on the conference table. The gun body hit the table of the police station and made a dull loud noise.
"If I die, I will bear the responsibility."
"I came back alive, and this honor should be shared by everyone."
