"You guys are leaving?"
After listening to the full narrative, Soshiyang's anger gradually subsided, but his mood did not improve, but became even more gloomy.
He suddenly realized a reality, what Tu Shan said before was probably not exaggerated, but what was actually happening...
This made him even more chill.
"I'm going to understand the situation. As for what to do, you make a decision. After all, it's a governor. We are wearing the armor of the Astral Knights. Now the situation is so sensitive and so many eyes are staring at it."
Soshiyang looked at his friend and whispered:
"Talos, you won't be convinced by the sophistry of that governor, are you?"
Talos shrugged.
"This is not. I have seen many guys like him and killed a lot, but even if he tells some lies, the general situation should be similar. I mean, your focus should not be on that planet. Maybe we think much more about this situation... and in a sense, he did nothing wrong. Although I really want to peel him off, I am not a person who is too easily influenced by emotions."
"That's not wrong? Just massacing the people of the Empire is enough to make him die ten times! Not only him, but the officials, law enforcement officers, and military officers who assisted him in doing these things deserve to die!"
Talos shook his head.
"You are wrong, those are his people."
Soshiyan was slightly stunned, and Talos then added:
"The throne granted him the power of rule, and he was qualified to dispose of his people and planets in the means he thought were appropriate, especially during wars, and in a sense... that was his property. He was not the governor appointed by Terra, but the hereditary ruler who was passed down according to the ancient contract. He had no betrayal, paid taxes on time, and even prevented the unrest that could erupt in the nest. In any way, there was no fault, and the population... The empire never lacked population, and the nest would soon be filled with immigrants. In the current empire environment, a ruler like him may even be praised, because many rulers were not even as good as him when facing unrest."
"No, it's not like that. The empire is composed of hundreds of millions of people. Any life has its value. Everyone is the emperor's people. No one has the power..."
"You don't have to pay much attention to what I say. I am always a midnight lord. I believe in punishment and harsh precepts. In my eyes, the only mistake of the governor is incompetence. Everyone has different values, so I will leave this for you to deal with."
"Talos, Soshiyan has enough troubles."
Veronica frowned and walked to the table, changing each of them a new cup of tea.
"It's not a big deal, just deal with it, right? Just a governor, and if you kill it, you'll kill it."
Talos sighed lightly.
"This is something he must know."
"Can--"
"Veronica, I'm fine. Talos is right. It's my responsibility."
"Don't blame yourself too much, you've done a good job. There are many things you're doing well, but those below have problems with their execution-"
"It's not like this!"
Suoshiyang suddenly punched the table, cracking the wooden tabletop comparable to metal. Veronica was shocked and stopped what she was still saying.
"The problem is not that the garbage nests are rulers and bureaucrats, nor are they brought about by heresy and war. The problem is there! It is always there! Everyone can see it, but everyone pretends not to see it! Even if we eliminate many enemies in the future, the problem is still there! It will not be beaten away like the Red Pirates and the Black Legion! What is the problem? The problem is that something goes wrong! If something goes wrong, it will be changed if something goes wrong! The empire always emphasizes sacrifice and sacrifice, but who is really willing to be the firewood in the hands of others? And it is the firewood with the least dignity! No one wants to do it, but someone must sacrifice it. Then when a person can sacrifice others at will, what is such a sacrifice? They say that we are angels, and everyone, whether it is slaves, civilians, or nobles, worship us, but now I have no face."
Soshiyang's expression fell into deep sadness, and he gently patted his face with his palm, and smiled bitterly:
"I have no shame to admit that I am an angel. I am not even a qualified protector. I used to think that if everyone in the empire had a belief that they would either die or win, would the dawn of humanity and the empire appear? But in the end I found that it was difficult for most people to even struggle into a human form. They didn't even have the strength to think about these things... I knew that there was something wrong, and everyone knew that something was wrong, but no one had the ability to change it."
Talos leaned against the chair, raised his head, looked at the ceiling, and said slowly:
"People can live for seven or eight days without eating, and for three or four days without drinking water. The empire that has always been wrong has lasted for tens of thousands of years. I tell you this is not to hope that you will complain about yourself. No one can live spotlessly. We are inhaling dust every moment, but what will happen to this next ten thousand years of human empire is likely to be decided by you. You have to cheer up and think."
"Yes, my dear, don't do this."
Seeing Soshiyan's low expression, Veronica took out a handkerchief and wiped his face with distress, and comforted her softly:
"This is not your fault. Those people make mistakes and kill them. It's just a matter of a ruling document. You have been commanding on the front line and are responsible for the coordination of various war zones. There must be something you can't take into account. Who can be omniscient and omnipotent? This messy human empire cannot be changed by the power of one person. Don't always force yourself like this... You have fulfilled your obligations, that's enough."

"In this disaster, those civilians who died tragically have my responsibility. I will not use anything I am doing and have no time to take care of my own responsibilities. Because I have the power to decide the life and death of almost everyone, then I have to bear the responsibility of all their lives and deaths. This is fair, and this is what things should be like."
“Soshiyan….”
"I'm fine, Veronica, really."
With a sigh, he leaned his body against the chair.
"Only in front of you, I can lose my temper and say something I really want to say."
Talos looked down at him and whispered:
"I'll stand by you anyway."
"Me too."
Soshiyan smiled and held Veronica's hand that was placed on his shoulder.
"A document was drawn up. Koffen Thirty-I had unauthorized execution of extermination repression without application, ordered him to abdicate and exil to the Pale Star Zone. One of his descendants could inherit the position of governor. Another planetary adjudicator would be demoted to a first-class law enforcement officer without application, and transferred to the Endymion Front Enforcement Zone for service."
"Hmm? Did you let those people go like that?"
Soshiyang shook his head.
"That's it... It's more important to save the living person. The nest can no longer withstand any turmoil."
"I understand, do you still have it?"
"Also, count the amount of progesterone reserves and food reserves in each war zone immediately. If there is more than 30% remaining, the commander of the war zone can use it to rescue the nest and the world that is trapped in energy and food shortages. In addition... please contact Zorg and ask him to investigate the current trade market situation in the Great Vortex area. Specifically, see the severity of hoarding and price gouging. Write a detailed report to me. Angustorm's factory ships will soon be able to move again. Let them go to the nest in Sengelad first. I guess the situation will improve. By the way, let the Star Word Hall draw a message and send it to Reza to ask if there is a convenient way to provide some progesterone factory ships. If there is any reply, please notify me as soon as possible."
"Okay, I've written it down."
