Alex looked at the content displayed on the data screen and was stunned.
"How is it, Master? Cortana is amazing, right?"
Cortana's voice rang in Alex's mind.
"Someone was going to be unfavorable to Master, and Cortana intercepted these messages immediately."
"My Cortana is truly great."
Alex silently praised her.
Then, he looked up and scanned the guards behind Xia.
Under Cortana's prompt, he quickly located the moles.
There were nine of them, perfectly matching a certain blue big bird's holy number.
Alex tensed his muscles and nerves without a trace, preparing to make a move.
The next second, he sent the messages Cortana intercepted to everyone else attending the meeting.
Before anyone could react, he erupted, charging straight for the moles.
Losa was the quickest to react; he glanced at the incoming information and chose to believe Alex.
The nine moles disguised as ordinary guards were elite agents.
They realized they were exposed immediately and reacted quickly.
Unfortunately, they were facing a Primarch-level Living Saint and a Warband Captain who trained diligently every day.
The agents were skilled, but they were no match for Alex and Losa.
In just two breaths,
they were thrown onto the metal floor like rag dolls,
the clicking sound of joints locking and wails rising and falling.
The other guards saw this scene and quickly raised their guns, pointing them at Alex and Losa.
"Stop, put down your guns." Xia hastily stopped her guards.
Her face was very pale as she walked to the fallen moles.
"Angedo told you to do this?"
Several soldiers remained silent.
It was clear they had all undergone professional agent training.
"Interrogating them won't get any useful information; let's think about how to handle this matter instead."
Alex played the conversation Cortana had intercepted.
Xia's eyes widened, unable to believe it was true.
"How dare they do that? This is treason!"
"As long as we're dead, it's not treason," Feng pointed out incisively. "They'll just think the Valanxius Family killed you, and then they'll retaliate."
"Damn it, these guys are so insidious and malicious."
Xia cursed under her breath.
She immediately opened her communicator, trying to contact the bronze sword, but found her call was blocked.
Clearly, the other party did not intend to give her a chance to contact anyone else.
"I need to go back immediately." Xia frowned deeply.
Alex shook his head, "They wouldn't dare to do this without supporters."
"If you go back rashly, maybe they'll blast your Valkyrie gunship with a single shot and blame it on us, using it as an excuse to issue an Exterminatus."
Losa nodded, agreeing with Alex.
"I'll take people to board the ships; once we control them and lift the shield, you can take charge of the situation."
Alex said while editing the mission on the data screen.
"Your Warband has too few people; every death is a loss. Let those God Chosen go together to minimize casualties."
As he spoke, Alex finished editing the mission.
[Limited-Time Mission: Crush the Conspiracy
Followers of the Lord of Change are lurking within the Punishment Fleet, intending to kill Rear Admiral Xia Atart and frame the loyalists of Planet Atoma, thereby causing loyal soldiers to kill each other.
Punishment Fleet Commander Xia Atart: This act is shocking. If no punishment is meted out, it will be difficult to appease the Emperor's wrath.
I need some God Chosen skilled in combat to board and control the warships. Those interested can sign up with Losa, the First Captain of the Star Realm Knight Corps.
Reward: 15000 Contribution Points, 80 Honor Points.
]
"Add a reward: the player with the highest mission score can receive a Holy Relic," Losa added.
Alex looked at Losa, a little surprised.
This guy actually mastered the correct way to use Players!
And using a Holy Relic as bait, this is going to hook those 'cattle and horses' like crazy!
Alex added to the reward line.
Reward: A Holy Relic from the Star Realm Knight Corps.
When publishing the mission, Alex updated Losa's location so that Players could easily find him.
"What are you doing?" Xia asked, somewhat puzzled.
"You'll know soon." Losa smiled.
Soon, the sound of footsteps echoed.
The Players rushed over like hungry wolves.
"This mission is mine; none of you try to steal it, or don't blame me for being impolite."
"Go ask around on the island; is there anyone Desert doesn't dare to rob?"
"Holy Relic, my Holy Relic, this is a limited-time mission with a Holy Relic."
"Watch me cast a portal and go directly next to Captain Losa."
"..."
Xia saw this scene and instinctively stepped back.
Just now, she learned from the Saint and Losa that these guys were God Chosen created in the Emperor's Holy Domain.
They had only recently come into contact with Holy Terra (Earth/Reality), so their behavior seemed strange and out of place in this world.
When Xia heard the description of the God Chosen, she still felt strange.
Why did it sound so much like the description of a demon?!
But the next second, she immediately repented.
How could she call the God Chosen demons?!
This was disrespect to the Emperor.
The Players, like madmen, crowded in front of Losa.
"I want to take the mission."
"I want to take the mission too."
"Give the mission to me; I'm a seed of the Raven Guard; I'm the most suitable."
"For the sake of us both being Sons of Dorn, give me the mission, Captain Losa."
"..."
The enthusiasm of the God Chosen astonished Xia.
Especially when she heard that their equipment was bought with loans, she was even more dumbfounded.
So actively risking their lives, even buying their own equipment with loans.
Krieg's loyalty was not even a fraction of theirs!
Players who received the mission excitedly headed to the boarding deck to prepare for boarding.
Those who didn't get the mission were dejected.
"Can only Astartes board? Isn't my Knight more powerful??"
"Are you going to drive a Zagu 01 Type mech over? You can't even enter small corridors; how will you fight?"
"Wuwuwu, when will Dora Workshop produce the Iron Man armor and nano-combat suits? Knight Players also need melee enhancements."
"It's not just Astartes who can go; I saw that Little Alpaca, that Battle Sisters, went. How about you just cut off your hand and be both a Knight and a Sister??"
"Damn! You're so perverted."
"I'm shaking with rage. Battle Sisters can go, so why can't I, a Mechanical Priest? The Adeptus Mechanicus also has Skitarii units."
"..."
Losa selected fifty powerful Players and divided them into five small teams.
He had them execute the boarding mission under the leadership of the Star Realm Knights to control the Punishment Fleet.
With Cortana's help, they successfully avoided augur detection, forcibly cut through the hull with melta guns, and entered the interior.
The Bridge of the bronze sword.
"Any news from the moles?"
Raidel secretly asked Angedo.
"Not yet, it will take some time." Angedo felt a faint unease in his heart.
The moles placed around Xia Atart were all specially trained elite agents.
They had never failed a mission.
Logically, there should have been news quickly.
Why was it taking so long this time?
"Why don't we just go for the hard approach and directly announce that Xia Atart is dead?" Raidel said.
Angedo hesitated for a moment but still nodded.
"Then I'll immediately send people to eliminate those Emperor's pawns who might get in the way."
"Once you take command, immediately launch an attack on Planet Atoma and issue an Exterminatus."
PS: Sonas: I just don't understand. My plan was so thorough, and my subordinates were brave and willing to fight, so why did the mission fail?
Tzeentch: You don't understand, this is part of the plan.
