The entire circular parliament hall echoed with Councillor Padin's roar.
Congressman Padin, holding the railing of the podium tightly with both hands, felt deeply powerless.
Did they use the brains of the war hawks to make soup
How could someone do something so stupid and immoral
Any normal person would understand the consequences of killing an envoy.
Even if a war is to break out, it won't block the final path to peace talks!
Many pro-war lawmakers are no longer as rebellious as before.
There was horror on everyone's face.
Commander Durin was killed in battle, the border is in crisis, and the empire is furious.
It will inevitably lead to an unimaginable war, far from what they had previously imagined, which was just a local war with controllable risks.
Faced with Councillor Partin's angry accusations, no one dared to refute.
The entire venue was eerily quiet.
"We shouldn't focus all our energy on this. The mistake has already been made, and there's no need to delve into it further." The Speaker of the Parliament spoke up to ease the depressed mood in the meeting hall. "The most important thing right now is how to resolve the threat posed by the Empire. They have declared war, and we must respond. Otherwise, fear will crush the Wotan Alliance."
"The only option is total war," said another congressman. "We must not surrender without any hindrance. The alliance should enter a state of war."
"That will only anger them." A peace-loving senator said, "The death of Commander Durin is a lesson. We can no longer be arrogant. We should send people to promote peace immediately. If they want to investigate the death of the envoy, we will assist them in the investigation and hand over the murderer. I believe that as long as there is enough compensation, the empire will calm down its anger."
Speaking of the death of the imperial envoy, the peace-loving congressman glanced meaningfully at the seats of the pro-war congressmen.
Anyone who can make it to the position of parliamentary representative is a shrewd person.
It is natural to think that these guys must be secretly doing something to promote the war.
The ancients said it well, with a 10% profit, people will become eager, with a 20% profit, people will dare to take risks, with a 50% profit, people will dare to break the moral bottom line, with a 100% profit, the law is no longer sacred and inviolable, with a 300% profit, those people will dare to put the noose around their own necks.
Killing envoys doesn't seem to be something unimaginable to this group of lunatics.
The words of the peace-loving congressman made the originally silent meeting place noisy.
The war faction was all excited at once.
Isn't this just using their lives to appease the empire's anger
It’s okay to curse a little.
Use their lives and interests to appease the anger of the empire.
What a joke.
Even if the delicate little girl of the Alliance, who weighs less than 100 pounds, was beaten to pieces by the two-meter-tall giant of the Empire, with arms as strong as trains and muscles as strong as snakes and pythons, they would not give up their own interests, let alone their lives, to appease the anger of the Empire.
The proposal of this war faction is simply a betrayal of the alliance.
"How shameless! As a member of the alliance, he wants to sell out his compatriots and seek peace."
"You are betraying the Alliance and its people."
"It is a blasphemy to let someone like you who betrayed your compatriots stand here."
"If we have to fight, then we will fight. We will never compromise with that damn empire."
"They are demons, the evil spirits from hell. How can we use our compatriots to feed those evil spirits?"
"No citizen of the Alliance would accept such humiliation."
... ... ...
The congressmen were furious and their eyes were blazing with fire.
Each of them is so righteous and morally noble.
They condemned each other over the honor, glory and happiness of their people.
It was as if the senator who proposed to calm the empire's anger and hand over the murderer was a cowardly, ungrateful, heartless, fatherless and motherless person who betrayed the alliance and his people.
They completely forgot that if they had not killed the envoy, they would not have incurred the wrath of the empire.
Now, the other party just wants to ease the struggle between the two superpowers, strive for a little peace, and avoid large-scale casualties caused by war.
The situation was getting increasingly out of control.
Those represent flushed faces and agitated emotions.
The Speaker of the Council could only keep shouting for quiet, but it didn't have much effect.
The meeting had to end early.
A few hours later, the alliance meeting was able to be convened again.
After many private talks and exchanges of interests, they finally reached a new war plan.
The various forces of the alliance will unite to fight against the invasion of the empire.
At the same time, we will also try to strive for peace.
Use war to promote peace and strive for a peace agreement that is not too excessive.
... ... ... .

The Empire's reinforcements came quickly.
The first reinforcements were led by Seth of the Flesh Tearers, a Successor Chapter of the Blood Angels.
Seth is no longer Chapter Master of the Flesh Tearers.
He handed over his duties to another Flesh Tearer warrior, and wiped away all his honor to go on a crusade of atonement.
The Flesh Tearer warrior had resisted the pressure and urged him several times to listen to Dante and devote himself to Guilliman's great cause.
Seth initially disliked the Flesh Tearer warrior.
Considering him a potential traitor, he was deceived by Guilliman's sweet words.
It was not until he followed Dante to encircle Magnus and witnessed the battle in which Sanguinius appeared that Seth realized how wrong he was.
After Guilliman ascended to the throne of Tyranitar and became Holy Emperor, Seth handed over the position of leader to the Flesh Tearer warrior.
The other party has a purer loyalty.
Able to better lead the Flesh Tearers.
A guy like him who is so stubborn and almost betrayed the Empire is no longer qualified to lead the Flesh Tearers.
After witnessing Guilliman's coronation on Terra, Seth led a company away from the heart of the Imperium to undertake an expedition to atone for his crimes.
Seth once viewed the Holy Emperor Guilliman as a traitor who would usurp his father's throne.
Considers himself a sober loyalist.
The ending is so ironic.
Guilliman resurrected Sanguinius, rallied his fellow Primarchs, and with the Emperor's blessing became Holy Emperor.
The more selfless Guilliman is, the more he regards saving humanity as the most important cause.
The more Seth felt ashamed.
He was guilty of a terrible crime of disrespect.
Use your own despicable heart to speculate on a great man with noble character.
The Flesh Tearers' requirements at Sanguinius have been comprehensively upgraded.
Became the Primaris Chapter, serving the Holy Emperor.
None of this brought Seth peace of mind.
He knew he had to go on a crusade of atonement.
Only in this way can he redeem the mistakes he once made.
At his request, the Ministry of Military Affairs allowed him to travel to the Andromeda Galaxy with his battle-brothers to conquer those unredeemed worlds for the Holy Emperor.
When he learned that the local human bloodline branch was not only unwilling to surrender, but also killed the Holy Emperor's staunch supporter, Sage Kren.
Seth took his fighting brothers and swore an oath.
He would offer the Holy Emperor a thousand worlds and the heads of those who had killed the Sage of Kren to atone for his sins.
Soon, he will conquer the first world.

... ... ... ... ... ... ..
Planet Rick 3.
In a small border town in the Western Continent.
A Union troop stationed here guards an important mineral mining site.
Huge thunderstorm clouds are rapidly gathering in the southwest.
The weather in the town also became hot and humid.
Wesker felt that it would definitely rain soon in this weather.
This is a good thing.
After arriving in this ghost world, the only feeling he had was that there was too much dust, making everything dirty.
Waves of roars came from the sky.
A formation of fighter planes flew across the sky, rattling the windows.
No one looked up, as everyone was already used to such things.
News of the war spread fast.
Even the small border town of Rick 3 got the news.
But Wesker and others didn't take it seriously. They thought it was the commanders who should be worried, not them.
And the war seems so far away.
I heard that the nearest battlefield is four light years away.
If they are in a class where information exchange is not so good, it is difficult to make them feel the urgency of war.
They could not see the warships approaching, nor could they see the Alliance ships being reduced to pieces.
When I looked up, I saw the blue sky, without any trace of war.
If it weren't for those reports saying it every day, who would have thought that a war would break out in some corner of the universe!
Wesker didn't care about that empire at all.
He is more concerned about his salary.
I heard from some veterans that there seemed to be some problems with the transportation of supplies.
Not enough equivalents were received and there were problems with the disbursement of war funds.
Instant communication across time and space is a very difficult thing.
For this reason, it is impossible to use electronic currency on an interstellar scale.
That way it's easy for loopholes to appear.
To this end, like the Empire, the Alliance will adopt a currency made of smart chips.
Every month the Alliance would send those currencies of different denominations to the soldiers as their wages.
Wesker then found a way to deposit the money in the bank that lent him the money to repay the loan.
"I'm sorry, we are in the process of communicating. The problem is that the spaceship carrying the supplies was robbed, and the currency has not been delivered here. We cannot pay you your wages." A logistics officer tried his best to appease the gathered soldiers and tried every means to get them to go back first.
"Bullshit, you have to give it to us today."
"Yes, give it to us."
"Damn it! They're asking me to pay back the loan. Hurry up."
The soldiers naturally refused.
They will never leave until they get the money.
They went to the battlefield for money.
You're kidding me if you say you won't give me money now!
The soldiers were arguing more and more fiercely.
Several consecutive gunshots quieted the crowd.
A man in an officer's uniform came in, separating the noisy soldiers.
His eyes were filled with anger, as if these soldiers were his enemies.
“What do you want to do!
Can't you wait a few days? You have no sense of community." The officer stretched out his hand and rebuked the soldiers, "You are soldiers who defend our country. How can you jump up and down like this for a little money
Are you worthy of your uniforms
”
"You must know how to sacrifice for the Alliance, and you must sacrifice your own family to protect the Alliance. Is this the only selfish reason you go to the battlefield for? Is it just for money? Where are your ideals? Where is your passion? Is the only motivation for you to defend your homeland for money? Get back to your base right now. If I see anyone causing trouble here again, I will immediately hand him over to military court."
After being beaten and scolded, many soldiers were so frightened that they dared not speak and could only leave in anger.
Wesker was very dissatisfied.
He went to the battlefield for money.
Ideals and ambitions are the business of big business owners.
But seeing that so many people did not dare to resist, Wesker did not dare to be the first to speak out, so he could only hold his anger and leave.
But on the way, he heard some veterans talking again.
"Damn it, that bastard, he got the money and he's just pretending to be awesome. If he didn't get the money, he would be the one shouting the loudest."
"Who said it wasn't? It was that bastard who came."
"What's the point of fighting? Even if we win, our house and land might be taken away by the Chamber of Commerce and auctioned off to pay off the loan. We might even owe the Chamber of Commerce money."
"What the hell, just invest. If the alliance loses, the loan will be gone."
