"Hello, is this the Enforcement Division of the Department of Justice?"

"Yes, may I ask who you are?"

"Evernight Judges Talos of Eternal Night, bring me Slazov."

"Sir, this is Slazov."

"As instructed by my Uncle, we need to call everyone on the List to the meeting tomorrow."

All of them?

"Yes, all of them, half in the morning and half in the afternoon."

"Make sure the brothers in the execution unit are well-fed and have their guns and ammunition ready."

"Kill them outright?"

"Am I supposed to tell them bedtime stories?"

"Clear."

After receiving Talos's explicit instructions, Slazov began to assign tasks.

"Recruits, we just received orders from our superiors that we need to invite some important figures to a meeting tomorrow."

"Remember, eat your fill, and bring your guns and ammunition; we're going to set off firecrackers."

Listening to Slazov's description, the newly promoted Judges of the Eighth Legion were somewhat unable to understand.

Is this approach too cruel?

If you have any objections, you don't have to participate in this mission.

These people were not from Nostramo, so their acceptance and implementation of the Evernight Code and the Nine Laws of the Night Bat varied.

To prevent them from going easy on him, Slazov decided to exclude them from the mission altogether.

"The situation is urgent, and I don't want to explain too much, but there's one thing you should remember."

"Anti-Corruption is revolution; it's about taking down those old aristocrats. To put it bluntly, we're here to kill, not to cure."

"If any of you want to see the evidence, go to the archives."

"Evernight Judges never kills indiscriminately; everything is based on evidence."

Does anyone still have questions?

"Report: No!"

"Very good, let's begin."

At the same time, led by members of the Council of the Long Night, a unique invitation was extended to all the high-ranking nobles and dignitaries of Terra.

Although it was called an invitation, Talos had two plans.

"Earl, the Father of Night invites you to tomorrow's meeting."

"Hmph! A bunch of barbaric country bumpkins, do you think I'll just go because he tells me to?"

"Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you've captured the Chancellor. Let me tell you, this is Terra, not your wretched Planet!"

Talos wasn't particularly angry upon hearing this; he simply put the invitation away and took out something else.

"Based on instructions from the Department of Justice's Operations Division and concrete evidence obtained by relevant intelligence agencies, you are under arrest. This is an arrest warrant from the Department of Justice."

"Come with us right now for Investigation."

This is robbery!

"We are just Enforcer. You either come with us, or you resist and will be knocked unconscious and taken away in handcuffs."

This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!

"Housekeeper!"

He wasn't just calling for his butler, but also for his private army.

But who could have imagined that he would encounter the Council of the Long Night?

Before his noble soldiers could even move, Talos knocked them all down with a single Psychic Power blast.

"Stop shouting. No one will come even if you scream your lungs out. You're not so stupid as to think we didn't do our Investigation before coming, are you?"

"You are bandits, robbers, you Gang!"

"According to Imperium Law, you cannot arrest me; I am a nobleman!"

"According to the Evernight Code, we are arresting nobles."

From the very first day Han Mingxuan arrived in Terra, the Emperor stated that the Evernight Code was also part of Terra's Laws, and that it was the primary Evernight Code governing people's livelihoods.

Unfortunately, the Nobility Laws in the Evernight Code are a sharp knife to Terra in the present day.

While Talos was operating, Cyrion was also operating.

However, compared to Talos's reasoned and well-founded approach, Cyrion's actions were rather blunt, or rather, very forceful.

"This is an arrest warrant from the Department of Justice. You need to come with us."

"This is ridiculous! You haven't even conducted Investigation before you're arresting me?"

"When our family shed blood for the Imperium, you were probably still mining in some mine in Nostramo!"

Take them away.

Cyrion wasn't going to waste his breath on him.

They went up there to arrest people.

Call out!

A bullet suddenly struck Cyrion from behind the head.

But before he could even get close, he was shattered to pieces by a dark shadow.

"Resist law enforcement, kill on the spot."

Pfft!

"The skulls are piled up to form a mound, to proclaim this to the world."

The newly appointed Judges were stunned into silence by Cyrion's audacious actions.

This practice is far too barbaric and bloody.

Especially in the world of the Imperium of Man's Throne World, in Terra, a place where every inch of land is precious and nobles abound, it is simply too barbaric.

Cyrion noticed their worries and then took out something.

"After building the mound of skulls, put this aside."

"What's this?"

"The evidence uncovered shows that Evernight Judges never kills innocent people indiscriminately; he always acts based on evidence."

The newly appointed Judges took the evidence from Cyrion, glanced at it, and then felt that Cyrion was still too slow in taking action.

Meanwhile, the actions of Cyrion and Talos caused a sensation throughout the noble circles, and all the nobles took certain protective measures.

This had some impact on Shen's actions, but it wasn't a big deal for him.

Unlike those two barbarians, he wouldn't kill easily.

"Sir, I think it's necessary for you to come out and cooperate with our Investigation. Come to the Department of Justice for a cup of tea, and we'll have a good talk."

"You bunch of murderers from a criminal Planet, talking about going to the Department of Justice? That's your hell, not mine!"

Ugh, this is so troublesome.

"Sir, I'll give you half an hour to think it over. Once you've made up your mind, either open the door and come with us to the Department of Justice for a meeting, or I can open the door myself."

Don't even think about it!

Boom!

He had barely finished speaking when his front door was blown open by Cyrion with a Vortex grenade.

"Honestly, I was so stupid. Why did I waste my breath talking to him? This is so much easier."

"Listen up, everyone. We are acting in accordance with the law. The other party resisted law enforcement, and we have the right to do so."

"Once inside, regardless of age or gender, anyone who dares to resist is to be made to lie on the ground, understand?"

"Clear!"

As it turned out, the Astartes were very efficient. At the same time that Cyrion gave the order, all the Astartes sprang into action, and in less than 10 minutes, the nobles' homes were ransacked.

"Report, a distress message sent outside Terra has been detected."

"Was the message interception successful?"

"Report: The information has been intercepted and destroyed."

"Well done."

Looking at the current results, Shen was still somewhat dissatisfied. After all, this kind of raid should have been left to Impetus.

After all, among the Thirteen-Person Group, he was the master of assault warfare; he was best suited for this kind of surprise decapitation strike.
