Warhammer: From Planetary Governor
#532 - Savior: It's bad, the emperor is dying?!
The appearance of cracks meant that the Golden Throne was getting worse and becoming increasingly overburdened.
It was likely to collapse as a result.
When that time came, the Imperium would face a terrible disaster, and the Emperor would be completely lost in the warp due to losing the Throne's restraints.
The Tech-Priests were terrified when they discovered this.
It was as if the sky of the Imperium was about to fall.
And not just them.
If this news were to be exposed, the entire Imperium of Man would likely fall into fear and turmoil, disrupting the already eased situation.
Fortunately, the Adeptus Custodes and the Savior's personnel stationed in the Imperial Palace sealed off the news in time and appeased the relevant Tech-Priests.
Even the High Lords of Terra were not allowed to know this news.
There had already been a lesson once before. The last time the Golden Throne had a problem, the intervention of the High Lords of Terra had attracted the Dark Eldar.
It almost led to a disaster.
This time the problem was even more serious. The collapse of the Golden Throne was irreversible. Letting those guys know would inevitably cause them to create even bigger trouble out of fear.
As a high-ranking member of the Savior's territory on Holy Terra, Devir also received this news.
But the Grand Inquisitor didn't panic too much.
"As long as His Majesty the Savior is still here, the sky of the Imperium will not fall, the sun will last forever..."
That's what he thought.
Devir had never doubted the Savior.
He believed that existence could handle everything, and the Urth Mechanicum was also researching the Golden Throne and making relevant preparations.
He only needed to fulfill his duties and offer his loyalty.
Now, the duty of this Grand Inquisitor was to take advantage of this opportunity to further consolidate the Savior's authority.
To make that sun even more dazzling.
"My lord, all the personnel of the Department of Surveillance have gathered and are awaiting your orders."
At this time, an assistant wearing a black trench coat and with a gloomy gaze came to report.
He was fully armed and ready for battle, ready to tear and crush any rebellious elements.
"Let's begin..."
Devir nodded and issued the order with a smile, but the smile was a bit cruel, like the announcement of the Grim Reaper.
Any order from the Grand Inquisitor meant the passing of heretics and rebels.
That was also one of the reasons people feared him.
He was so firm, daring to destroy any target under the will of the Savior, no matter who the other party was.
Even if the Savior ordered Holy Terra to be blown up, he would not hesitate to give his life to accomplish it.
This was the Department of Surveillance.
Black trench coats, red armbands, cruel and indifferent, they never spoke, appearing in front of the rebels at the most unexpected times.
Then they sent them into a cruel abyss.
In terms of power, they were unscrupulous on Holy Terra, unrestricted by anyone other than the Savior, and even the Inquisition had to accept surveillance.
In terms of force, many of them were gene-modified Space Marines, possessing the best armaments, capable of mobilizing numerous troops and Titan armors.
The Department of Surveillance was the Savior's black glove, the special guard on the surface, an enhanced version of the Inquisition, and internally united.
Making the various departments of the Imperium fear them.
Devir raised his hand and gently swiped, projecting a densely packed black list in front of him, involving many high-ranking members of the Imperium.
The Holy Terra social security management was just a superficial action. He wanted to use this chaos to conduct an unprecedented purge of the Holy Terra management.
To clear away the remaining opponents of the Savior and the existence that hindered the new regime, in order to solve all hidden dangers.
That was something that had to be done. If the new regime retained too many remnants of the old party,
There would be endless troubles.
Devir knew that His Majesty the Savior could not issue such cruel orders, nor could he make such a determination.
Simply put, this was his unauthorized decision.
But Devir, as the Grand Inquisitor, had to fulfill this duty. The Savior appointed him for this moment.
That was a tacit understanding.
This was perhaps the last thing he could do for His Majesty the Savior.
Such a purge would inevitably create many hatreds and dissatisfactions. After the purge and the situation stabilized, it would be the end of his duty as a vicious dog.
His Majesty the Savior would deal with the vicious dog who made the unauthorized decision, quell the final impact, and rule his empire with a new political structure.
This Grand Inquisitor, High Lord of Terra, one of the most powerful high-ranking members of the Imperium, would use himself as a sacrifice to offer the best gift to the Savior's ascension to the throne.
Soon, the Holy Terra social security management operation began, and relevant management regulations and laws were also issued.
The Department of Law, in compliance with relevant laws and regulations, led the Solar Auxilia and security forces to conduct a larger-scale special operation to combat, prevent, and manage any unstable factors.
Especially resistance demonstrations and acts of provoking trouble, in order to maintain the harmony and stability of Holy Terra.
So that residents can live and work in peace and contentment.
This operation had the characteristics of the Savior's territory, without the ruthlessness and cruelty of the Imperium in the past.
The audio facilities in various hive city areas played the Savior's anthem, calling on all residents to abide by relevant rules and regulations and not to participate in the activities of illegal organizations.
Otherwise, they would be subject to severe penalties and crackdowns.
After that, the relevant troops began to arrest illegal organizations, individuals, and troublemakers in various areas, and imposed corresponding levels of punishment and education.
Even sentencing to death.
At the same time.
The Department of Surveillance secretly mobilized more armed forces and began a purge of various departments.
Due to the large-scale removal of the eyes and ears of various departments and forces in the previous rounds of cleansing, the actions of the Department of Surveillance were more covert.
This activity was not notified in advance to avoid causing more chaos.
...
City of the Petitioners.
General Affairs Court of the Department of Internal Affairs, Tax Archives Department Office Hall.
This department was responsible for correcting and processing the backlog of tax archive problems in the Imperium. Only by sorting out the old accounts and summarizing them into corresponding data uploads,
Can the tax department better help to re-adjust and evaluate the civilization worlds in various parts of the Imperial territory, and abolish some abnormal and wrong tax items.
The Archive Secretary-General, as usual, convened a meeting of his administrative officials to listen to reports and assign the next cycle of government affairs.
The secretary reported some problems in archive management, some of which were absurd.
For example, a certain merchant dynasty owed the Imperium one Throne Gelt and had not repaid it for 130 cycles. The document also asked whether to continue sending personnel to urge its repayment?
I don't know how such an absurd document entered the Imperium's government affairs process.
But once such a document enters the process, no matter how absurd it is, it will be executed according to the Imperium's procedures, passing through one department after another for stamping and review year after year, and personnel will be dispatched to handle it.
It's like a human-machine program.
Unless you can change the Imperial Law and the procedures of relevant departments, you have to do it this way.
The one Throne Gelt alone has consumed tens of thousands of hours of work for numerous administrative personnel of the Imperium, and a large amount of manpower and material resources have been consumed as a result.
I don't know if this is considered the Imperium's rigorousness or stubbornness.
If it weren't for the Savior's reforms, the intervention of the psychic network facilities, and the streamlining of all government affairs processes,
This absurd document may continue to go through the Imperium's process until forever.
However, according to the news investigated by the new department, the merchant dynasty had already been destroyed 130 years ago and was confirmed by the Inquisition.
Unfortunately, because the archive data between the Inquisition and the Department of Internal Affairs was not interconnected, it was submerged in the vast amount of information.
The Department of Internal Affairs was still following the process, urging the merchant dynasty to pay, and because the relevant laws and regulations could not determine it as a rebel, it was forced to collect the debt.
That absurd document was idling in the process of the Department of Internal Affairs until it was found and abolished more than a hundred years later due to the interconnection of data between departments.
The Archive Secretary-General stood on the steps and listened quietly, yawning.
He didn't have much interest in these things, but rather he was somewhat disgusted.
"Damn the Savior, depriving us of our power..."
The Archive Secretary-General thought bitterly in his heart.
The interconnection of data and the re-organization of archives can indeed improve the efficiency and accuracy of the Imperium's government affairs, but it exposes many unknown secrets to the sun.
This has also led to serious damage to the interests of his hereditary family, losing the power to control the archives and conduct transactions.
Holy Terra is like this, any power is divided by corresponding families, hereditary and unchangeable.
However, that Hope Primarch Savior destroyed all of this.
What's even more troublesome is that they have no way and ability to stop it, they can only vent their grievances secretly, and seek new benefits under the existing political system.
Suddenly, the hall became quiet, silent, and only the dull footsteps of power armor could be heard.
The Archive Secretary-General noticed that the atmosphere was not right.
He raised his head as if he saw something terrible, and was immediately stunned in place.
It was the Savior's lackeys in black trench coats and red armbands, followed by two fully armed and menacing Imperial Fists warriors.
Everyone knew what this meant—there were heretical rebels in this hall!
"Emperor on High, please don't come looking for me..."
The Archive Secretary-General's body couldn't stop trembling, and he was praying in his heart.
The other government officials were also the same, many people were sweating on their foreheads, and they didn't dare to breathe loudly, for fear of attracting the attention of those black-clothed death gods.
However, when this Department of Internal Affairs official saw the gaze of the Department of Surveillance Inquisitor, he knew that everything was over.
Those guys were here to find him!
"I...I..."
The Archive Secretary-General tried to explain, but couldn't say anything, but as a high-ranking official, he still maintained a normal posture.
He didn't dare to resist, and no one dared to resist.
As everyone knows, when facing the Department of Surveillance, honesty is rewarded and resistance is punished severely.
Honest confession still has a chance to live.
Once resistance is carried out, it will be defined as rebellion, thus losing the opportunity to survive, and even the family to which they belong will be implicated.
This is the result deliberately created by the Department of Surveillance.
Compared to the Inquisition's recklessness and rudeness, they are more restrained and pay attention to efficiency.
Under normal circumstances, the Inquisitorial Department's adjudicators would escort individuals away with considerable politeness, even thoughtfully informing their families depending on the situation.
But if force is used, it signifies the thunder of wrath.
Numerous families and planetary territories destroyed by heavy weaponry, even Titan war machines, stand as bloody examples.
The choice between possible death and certain death is clear to any government official with normal intelligence, especially when the Inquisitorial Department wields absolute force.
Therefore, many targeted government officials under investigation obediently follow the Inquisitorial Department's adjudicators, daring not to resist in the slightest.
This invisibly reduces the cost of apprehension and increases the deterrent effect.
"Secretary-General, please come with us."
The adjudicator looked at the Secretary-General, his calm voice tinged with indifference, while the two Imperial Fists warriors behind him heightened their vigilance.
Ready to act at any moment.
The latest novels are first published on 69shu.com!
This Secretary-General of Archives is suspected of disloyalty and inciting chaos, but the Inquisitorial Department never reveals the reason when taking people away.
The Secretary-General of Archives, facing everyone's gaze, had lost the ability to speak.
His face was pale, struggling to suppress the trembling of his body, he slowly walked down the steps, but even his legs seemed unable to straighten, swaying with each step.
It seemed he might collapse at any moment due to weak legs, like a drunken duck.
Imperial Fists warriors stepped forward to support the Secretary-General, and the group walked out, leaving behind only a frightening silhouette.
Until the Inquisitorial Department's people left, the hall remained silent and uneasy.
But soon, instructions from higher authorities were issued, ordering the deputy to temporarily replace the Secretary-General in presiding over the work.
Only then did the hall regain a trace of vitality.
The purge launched by Grand Inquisitor Deville was precise and silent, with one person after another being taken away for investigation, with almost no news or disturbances reaching the outside world.
That was the most terrifying thing, no one dared to resist.
Especially some high-ranking personnel who had heard the news, only dared to secretly curse a few times in unmanned secret rooms.
And dared not to reprimand in any way.
According to the currently circulating information, the Custodes, Imperial Fists, Blood Angels, and Assassin Clades have all participated in the arrest operations, the defenses of various regional surfaces have been quietly activated, and Titan war machines are also warming up.
Moreover, numerous fleets are secretly gathering.
Under such circumstances, who dares to say anything, and how can they resist?
The Inquisitorial Department's black-clad reapers seemed to be everywhere, taking away the relevant personnel at the right place and time, and then disappearing.
Some noble families, when the Inquisitorial Department came to their door, had people tied up in advance, opened the door wide, and let the adjudicators take them away.
There were also some who committed suicide in fear of punishment when they learned that the Inquisitorial Department was coming.
Gradually, traces of blood appeared in some office areas.
That was the blood left behind when those under investigation tried to resist.
The various departments of Holy Terra were gradually shrouded in black terror, no one knew who would be taken away today, and whether it would be their turn.
Grand Inquisitor Deville followed the established procedure.
Little by little, he cleared out the rebels in the administrative system and those who might affect the Savior's ruling system, and also took away many priests of the Ecclesiarchy.
The only thing that was gratifying was that he did not engage in large-scale killings, and many of those involved were only arrested, imprisoned, or dismissed.
But still, more than one million rebels were executed.
This was the largest purge since the Primarch Disaster and the Terran Spring, and even more administrative officials were dealt with than before.
Pilgrim's City, residential area.
A certain scribe returned home and complained rather dissatisfiedly about the Inquisitorial Department's wickedness.
But when he mentioned the Savior, he was immediately stopped by his wife:
"Are you crazy? Don't you want your life, don't you want your salary anymore?!"
Only then did the scribe suddenly remember that all the resource supplies of Holy Terra today were provided by the Savior.
This allowed them to escape their previous poverty and eat bread and meat, and occasionally the department would distribute coffee, snacks, and other materials as benefits.
It can be said that the standard of living has undergone earth-shattering changes, going straight from refugees to a moderately prosperous life.
This is also one of the reasons why the Grand Inquisitor's purge did not cause too much resistance, the Savior supported the entire Holy Terra, everyone ate the Savior's, drank the Savior's.
Even the salary and supplies were issued by him.
Under such circumstances, it was difficult for those high-ranking officials of the Imperium to instigate larger-scale opposition and rebellion, being able to trigger the current chaos was already the limit.
And it was also defined as a public security problem, easily suppressed, and then purged.
This was unbelievable for the previous Holy Terra, not killing tens of billions of people in a political change was not called a change.
However, the fact was just like that.
The Savior truly controlled Holy Terra, and the degree of control may be even stronger than that of the Emperor back then.
After all, the Emperor at that time still had to compromise and make special deals with various forces, and the Primarch's sons were also a bunch of arrogant and unruly generals, the Savior simply did not talk about compromise, and his lackeys directly launched a wave of great cleansing.
And it did not cause a rebellion.
......
Imperial Senatorum.
Grand Inquisitor Deville initiated a meeting application to discuss the next matters with the High Lords.
The High Lords looked at the two empty seats and remained silent.
Those two High Lords had already been imprisoned, awaiting the judgment of the Hope Primarch Savior.
"Everyone, the cleansing is over, we should promote some crucial matters."
Deville broke the silence.
His words also made the High Lords, in addition to dissatisfaction, breathe a slight sigh of relief.
After that, they began to determine the date of the coronation ceremony, even if the Savior could not return, a temporary ceremony had to be held to confirm his rule.
After the cleansing, there were basically no existences on Holy Terra that could affect the new ruling system.
"Perhaps, we should erect a new statue of the Hope Primarch Savior..."
High Lord, Solar Lord, Star Army Commander Moore, enthusiastically put forward a suggestion.
Since the Hope Primarch Savior had become the new ruler of the Imperium, then his position could not be the same as before, on par with other Primarchs.
A taller and larger statue must be erected, and it must be erected in the middle of Heroes' Square.
Only then can his majesty be reflected.
This proposal was approved by all the High Lords, and no one dared to object.
The image of that new Savior statue was also in the form of golden armor, similar to the Emperor, and even the Ecclesiarchy reluctantly agreed.
But the Ecclesiarch still weakly raised an objection:
"Emperor be praised, the specifications of the new statue seem to be higher than the original Emperor's statue, does this need to be adjusted?!"
Grand Inquisitor Deville hesitated for a moment, but still insisted on the original design.
That was not blasphemy against the Emperor.
Because the golden sun on the head of the new statue represented the Emperor, that was the first step in the transformation of religious influence, and no compromise was allowed.
In the end, the proposal to build this new statue was passed, and the date for the Savior's temporary coronation ceremony was also determined.
After the relevant news was promulgated, the social security management action also achieved preliminary results.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs and other departments also kept up in time, announcing the establishment of a new holiday - Savior's Coronation Day, to celebrate the arrival of that existence's reign.
The Ministry of Civil Affairs also announced that, due to the Savior's coronation, all material inputs and supplies on Holy Terra would be doubled from now on.
Let this Throneworld usher in a new look.
As soon as the news came out, the repressed atmosphere of Holy Terra completely dissipated, ushering in jubilation.
After all, many people did nothing, and their remuneration doubled because of the Savior's coronation.
Who wouldn't be happy about this?
With the erection of the new statue, the holding of the temporary coronation ceremony, and the promulgation of various welfare measures, people's respect for the Savior became more and more intense, and public opinion support also reached a new height.
Holy Terra cannot be without the Savior, just as the sky cannot be without the sun!
——
While various changes were taking place on Holy Terra.
Not long ago.
Black Throne area.
Before the throne, Ron stood side by side with the Emperor, being held high with his hands clasped, declaring himself the new ruler of the Imperium.
In addition to excitement, he suddenly felt a little cool on his body.
"Hiss ~"
Ron looked down and suddenly gasped.
Because he saw his strong pectoral muscles, and he had participated in the psychic live broadcast of the galaxy with his explosive body again.
At this moment, the Savior's body was like refined gold, angular, and covered with many wounds, which were more majestic under the illumination of the holy light.
But he still vaguely felt that he was an exhibitionist, and he had been broadcasting live in the form of psychic energy several times.
Making the noble ladies of the Imperium unable to sleep.
Fortunately, the illusion created by the Emperor disappeared soon after.
After that, everyone present except the Savior was ordered to withdraw, and the Emperor and the Savior had important matters to discuss.
The Emperor staggered to sit on the Black Throne, and even the psychic communication was intermittent.
His voice had never been so tired: "You should have received that message, right?"
Ron nodded solemnly.
However, the Emperor's next words made his heart tighten: "I can't hold on anymore, you should find a way to completely kill me as soon as possible..."
The voice of the Master of Mankind was intermittent.
He was so sad and self-blaming, his eyes were so earnest, even with a hint of pleading:
"All of this is my fault, the destruction of the Golden Throne is irreversible, and then my divinity will completely break free from its shackles, brewing an irresistible disaster.
You, my successor, you must... end my life before that!"
This may be the most vulnerable moment of the Emperor, the entrustment before his death.
"So it's still about the Golden Throne..."
Ron was relieved when he heard this.
He patted his chest and said confidently:
"Old man, you don't have to worry, I can solve the problem of the Golden Throne, and I promise to arrange it properly for you!"
