The aftermath was actually not easy to deal with. An Imperial prison world was attacked, a Navy orbital station was destroyed, Eldar and Heretics invaded at the same time, and fighting broke out.
The accumulation of these events can easily attract the attention of the Inquisition, and then the Astral Knight, who is the end of the event, can easily be thrown into the spotlight again.
This is what Soshyan wants to avoid, so he must suppress the incident as much as possible, or simplify it.
So the first order he gave was to clean up the wreckage of the orbital station, especially the wreckage of the Cursed Echo. Those that could be recycled would be recycled, and those that could not be recycled would be destroyed on site.
And his second order was to search for the remnants of the Eighth Legion still in the underground prison.
However, the Eldar were obviously serious this time. After a week of searching in the complex underground network, in addition to finding more corpses, the Astral Knights did not find any living Eighth Legion soldiers.
As for the equipment of the fallen soldiers, those that could be recycled were naturally recycled, including several sets of Terminator armors abandoned underground by Talos.
But the most critical thing is actually the prisoners and jailers in the prison. Although the Eldar invasion killed most of the jailers and a considerable number of rioting prisoners, there are still many deep inside the prison.
Thor specifically emphasized that no one who had seen the soldiers of the Eighth Legion should be allowed to stay on the planet.
For this reason, Soshyan could only make a difficult decision - to send most of the living prisoners to the lower slave deck of Unbound Soul, and those who resisted...
He chose to secretly send the Atonement Team into the prison, and this move was later named "Regulation 11" - Nathan VI also became the first planet to be subject to Regulation 11.
These dirty jobs are not suitable to be performed by warriors standing in the sun. They can only use the power in the shadows.
Most of the prisoners who were released by Talos and launched riots were hiding in the prison's No. 4 mining area. Almost more than 100,000 criminals gathered here. They looted the armory and had a certain amount of weapons. Because of this, the Eldar
I didn't spend any effort to solve them.
But their good luck came to an end on the twenty-first day after the incident.
The power supply system inside the prison was cut off in an instant, and fear and suspicion shrouded the prison mining area like a shroud.
One hundred thousand prisoners begged for freedom, and the few who stopped to think about what was happening took the opportunity to leave their cells and cages and walk up the circular tunnel inside the mine.
For a few frantic, precious minutes, it looked like the biggest jailbreak in sector history was taking place.
That's when the killing started simultaneously.
The mine tunnels were not built to accommodate large numbers of people at once, and frightened people were pushed over the railings and fell into the abyss of the mine.
Whether it was deliberate or purely due to madness or the pressure of their dirty bodies, they almost lost their minds, and their screams were easily lost in the noise that echoed on the towering sides of the pit.
Not a single jailer in sight, the mob advanced toward the ground with hope of freedom.
But all the gravity ladders stopped working, so they crowded the stairs.
Those on the highest floors were the first batch to run out and were also the strongest and most ferocious, but they soon regretted their rashness.
They found that a single figure was waiting on the top of each platform - a towering giant, covered in silver-gray armor, as unshakable as the statue of the arbitrator on the side of the jurisdiction's guard room.
This is when the killing really begins.
The giants silently fired into the crowd that filled the shaft ladder, their bullets wiping out the foremost prisoners, blasting the emaciated, earth-clad bodies into steaming fragments of flesh and bone.
The thunderous reverberation of the weapon vibrated along the deep shaft, making those behind who continued to push forward confused due to temporary deafness.
Some prisoners grabbed weapons to fight back, and some even smashed open tool boxes or picked up large pieces of ore and threw them at the giants, but it made no difference.
There are also people who know the truth and recognize the identity of the massacre.
"Astartes! It's Astartes! Run!!!!"
While the prisoners in the front tried to go back, those in the back pushed forward with all their strength because they did not understand the situation.
People were struck and trampled, their bodies shattered on slate walls or plastic steel steps.
Then the giants began to move forward, firing while advancing. In order to save ammunition, they opened the flamethrower, flooding the deep well with liquid flames without making any sound.
After approaching the crowd, the soldiers drew their chainswords one after another, and with the ear-splitting roar of the chain saw motor, they jumped into the prisoners, tearing, cutting and impacting the prisoners with their rapidly rotating weapons and huge armored bodies.
Everything they encountered knocked countless bodies back along the way they came.
This is a bloodbath, and it's just begun.
While the Redeemer team was "cleaning up" in the lower levels of the prison, Thor found the only survivor of the Imperial Ministry of Justice, a law enforcement officer.
He hid in the main church of the fortress in his jurisdiction and somehow escaped death, but all his colleagues died, either at the hands of the Eldar or the soldiers of the Eighth Legion.
This law enforcement officer was the only official imperial witness to this incident.
The halls and corridors were quiet, faint sobs echoed in the church's semi-dome, and the interior of the entrance was dark.
Thor walked in slowly, not looking down even when his boots stepped into something wet and soft.
The church's once sacred air is now cold and filled with the stench of death.
With his footsteps, the sobs became louder.
It only took half a second for Sol to find the source of the noise.
At the end of the semicircular room, a human figure moved in front of the ruins of what was once an altar.
Thor activated the helmet's illumination and approached slowly. The human figure looked up as he got closer, squinting in the light beam and showing a pained expression.
He looked very young, probably just a trainee judicial officer, his face was pale and full of fear.
When Thor stopped, he whimpered something and hugged his legs with his arms, like a child.
He barely had the strength to stand. His body was numb, his thinking was slow, and his skull was throbbing painfully. It felt like fingers poking at his head and clawing at his brain.
But he still recognized Thor's identity - relying on the eagle emblem on his chest.
A shiver and relief spread through his tired body. There was no doubt that this was the loyal angel of the empire and he was safe.
"Sir...I must report..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Thor interrupted him.
"We will take all the prisoners."
Thor's voice was calm and without warmth.
"We will begin moving them through the shuttle port of your jurisdictional fortress within four hours, which may take two days, local time."
"I...I don't understand."
"We are the protectors of humanity and also the executioners. All traces of what happened here must be erased. Only the Eldar visited here, and we repelled them."
The legal officer was stunned for a long time. He could not digest the information Sol left behind, but he probably knew that the other party would take everyone away.
"Would you take me too?"
"No, you are a member of the imperial institution. Our principles do not allow such a thing... However, the criminals in prison have lost all their rights, but they may at least earn redemption and final rest.
, below the slave deck.”
"but I......"
The legal officer still couldn't fully understand what the other party meant.
But Thor didn't answer, but moved his hand to the bolter.
"No......."
Only then did the legal officer realize what the other party was going to do. He cried and crawled back.
"No!"
After the screams, a gunshot was heard from the empty wooden citron of the church.
