Chapter 43 02.0043: "You're the only one who called me a rebel?"

The unexpected counterattack made the hive city marshals drop their jaws in shock, and even their captain who was sitting on the ground and throwing a tantrum was stunned.

"That boy... is he a navy sergeant or a reserve sergeant???"

The crowd began to whisper and discuss, and most of them looked at the arrogant and domineering Nest City police with a gloating expression.

"You lawless fellows now dare to blackmail the loyal officers of the Imperial Navy, don't you?"

"We don't know either. He's not wearing a uniform. Ouch!"

Sergeant Louise mercilessly smashed the Hive City Marshal's deputy captain's chest with the butt of her rifle, causing him to stagger and fall to the ground.

"Ouch, we were wrong, we were wrong. We were blind and didn't recognize it... Ouch!" Before he could finish his words, the corporal named Leidos next to him kicked him to the ground again.

"You're blind? Then you just pick on the easy ones and do your best to harm them, right? CNM." Corporal Leidos became more and more angry as the fight went on, and started to curse vulgarly.

The reason why they are so united in their hatred of the enemy may be that they come from the family of deceased naval officers living in Zhongchao.

"Ouch! Ouch!" The deputy captain was kicked to the ground, rolling and crawling, screaming.

People were whispering nearby.

"That guy grabs people and extorts them every day. If they don't give in, he'll beat them. Today, he finally got his comeuppance."

"Their captain deserves to be beaten more. He is more ruthless than anyone else in squeezing the people's money. He has indulged hooligans and ruined so many people's homes."

"I am a gangster. There were a few good people in the team, but they were forced to transfer to other positions."

"If they dare to label the navy Tadashi as a rebel, what else can they not dare to do?"

The captain of the hive police hid behind the other hive police and dared not utter a word.

Seeing that the whispers were putting him in the spotlight, he covered his bloody mouth and nose, glared at the whispering crowd, and swung the baton in his hand to tell them to shut up.

Swish—the baton dangling in the air was instantly snatched away from the hand of a corporal.

"Hey, you're the one who labeled Zhongsi a rebel, right?" the corporal asked angrily.

Corporal Fideo handed Horatio the baton.

He was looking grimly at the captain of the bailiffs who was sitting on the ground.

When the captain of the marshals heard the corporal calling him, he shuddered with fear.

"I was wrong, I was wrong. You are a great man and you don't bear grudges. Oops!"

He apologized completely in the wrong direction, to Corporal Fideo instead of Horatio, and was knocked to the ground by Horatio before he could finish his words.

Several soldiers from the Tadatsugu Marine Corps stared at the other bewildered marshals with their weapons drawn, tacitly allowing the new students to teach these unpleasant scum a lesson.

The loyal heirs of the empire serve the Divine Emperor, and punishing evil and promoting good is the basis of their duties.

"This stick is for your tyranny and intimidation of innocent people."

"Ouch, ah." The captain of the marshals trembled and rolled on the ground in embarrassment. His straight uniform, armor and face were covered with mud and dirt that had not been cleaned for thousands of years.

"it is good!!"

"Teach these rubbish and parasites a lesson!" A few low cheers came from the crowd watching in Zhongchao.

Every Mid-Nest person living here has inevitably been bullied and harassed by the Hive Marshals and their rogue lackeys.

Now that the situation has reversed, the onlookers felt a sense of relief when they saw them being humiliated, even though they were secretly afraid that these scumbags would take their anger out on someone else later.

Horatio backhanded the captain and hit him on both hands.

"This stick is for you abusing your power for personal gain and amassing ill-gotten gains."

"Ouch, stop! Stop! Aaahhh!"

A swift and merciless blow from a stick struck the captain of the bailiffs in the face, causing his saliva to fly out and a broken tooth to fall out of his mouth.

"I got this stick because you called a horse a zebra and framed a good person."

Every blow of the stick was accompanied by the restrained anger and suppressed cheers of the onlookers, which together with the ghostly howls of the captain of the marshals staged a rare drama in the hive city.

After three blows, the captain of the bailiffs' face swelled up like a pig's head, and his hands turned into the shape of carrots.

The female noncommissioned officer made no attempt to stop the reserve sergeant, but instead glared at the other hive marshals.

Just a fierce glare from those intimidating purple eagle eyes would terrify those lackeys who claim to be law enforcers but are completely loyal to the guild alliance.

Horatio threw his baton at the marshal indifferently and dusted his hands.

"Get out of here!" the female soldier cursed with disgust, her purple eyes full of disgust.

"Thank you, thank you! Woo woo woo." The captain of the bailiffs knew how great a sin it was to stigmatize Zhong Si.

If an imperial military inspector had been present, he would have been shot on the spot without regret.

With a shout, the group of people who were originally arrogant and domineering ran away.

They could not afford the guilt of coming into conflict with Zhongsi's marines, and they dared not draw their guns.

If these precious Divine Emperor currencies were damaged, the Imperial Navy and the Military Supervision Department would probably bring military police to the Law Enforcement Building in District F of Vegas to arrest people the next day.

Even if the emperor came, he couldn't stop them from being executed on the spot.

What's more, even if they wanted to fight, they couldn't win! In terms of fighting and pulling out guns, how many mortals on the entire planet could be the opponents of these elite loyal descendants? Not to mention these Zhongchao police who bully the weak and fear the strong every day and neglect training.

"Student, this is your money. Please keep it safe. It's not safe here. If you have nothing else to do, you'd better leave as soon as possible." Louise's frowning eyebrows slightly relaxed, and she handed the banknote to Horatio with a faint smile on her cold face. "Thank you, senior, I will leave after dinner." Horatio took the money and handed a banknote to the daughter of the chef.

"Okay, if you have anything else, you can come find us. We will be patrolling and monitoring this area." The female officer put her helmet back on and glanced at the half-cat girl who was shivering on the ground.

"Really... these guys are so fast. They just run away without caring about the thieves, and we don't care about enforcing the law."

"If you don't mind, let me take care of it."

The female sergeant glanced at Horatio and nodded slightly, "As the owner, of course you can. Goodbye."

"See you later." Horatio saluted.

"Please avoid congestion and keep the road clear. Please do not linger to avoid danger." At the female sergeant's shout, the Zhongsi marines saluted Horatio in unison, calling for the crowd to disperse gradually and resume patrolling.

[So the marines of Tadashi can do these things. This seems to be a patrol mission that will add learning points?] Horatio thought to himself as he watched the female sergeant leave.

"Dear Sergeant Zhongsi, your meal is ready." The girl walked up and said respectfully.

After learning that the young man in front of her was a loyal reserve sergeant of the Imperial Navy, her attitude became even more respectful and admiring.

"Don't be so reserved. I'm just a soldier."

"Then you are also the strongest soldier, the precious currency of His Majesty the Divine Emperor! Sir!" The girl smiled sweetly and praised, while making a Sky Eagle salute to Horatio.

Horatio said nothing, but smiled in response.

[The respect that the imperial people have for the military is truly well-deserved. My eyes are sparkling.]
In the Empire, it is a great honor to be the currency of the God-Emperor.

In the eyes of ordinary residents, the Astra Militarum is a place where only the most selected warriors are qualified to enter.

The fighting power of the Zhongsi soldiers is more like some kind of living legend, and they can really kill with one strike, just like in the God of War literature.

[Okay, now what should we do with this thief?]
Horatio turned to look at the girl on the ground who was silently licking her wounds.

In the memory of the leader of the "Labor Gang", there must be thousands of such petty thieves under his command. It is not easy to find a job that can fill your stomach in the nest city, let alone for the sub-humans who are discriminated against. Petty thefts have started since they were hungry children.

It's not that the organization he founded deliberately harbors corruption. In the face of the threat of starvation, morality is powerless and the rules set by the people of Shangchao are nothing more than a piece of waste paper.

The principle that if you are caught stealing, you should stand up and be beaten is true for everyone, but now that this little thief has already been beaten up by the Hive Bailiffs, Horatio doesn't plan to do it again. Instead, he plans to try to use this half-cat man to sniff out some clues for himself.

"Hey," Horatio called indifferently.

The girl reacted and looked at Horatio. Her pupils, which had been erected due to stress, became round and big. The corners of her eyes were wet and her whole body was trembling. She didn't dare to look Horatio in the eye again. Even her ears, which were erected, drooped down, and upon closer inspection, they were trembling slightly.

"Want something to eat?"

The emperor has no shortage of hungry soldiers. Of course, the consequences of forcing this to happen have been numerous since ancient times, so Horatio plans to give her some sweet treats first, at least to prevent her from starving to death in front of him.

This sentence made the half-cat girl look up at him in surprise, her tears gushing out like two furrows, and her eyes flashed with incredible doubt.

"How long have you not eaten?"

"Dinner...it's been a long time..." The girl stammered with her head lowered.

"Sir, I've seen this half-cat person recently. She has been eating discarded bones for a long time. I wanted to throw some leftovers from the guests these days, but she couldn't compete with other beggars." Yin Shuyao said in a low voice.

"Well, then it seems that she really has nothing to do?"

"It's very difficult to find a decent job here. Apart from the flesh trade or even more depraved occupations, it's probably not easy for these excluded beast-type demihumans to find a decent job to support themselves, sir."

Yin Shuyao's words made Horatio realize that this was not just the living condition of the Lower Nest, but also the living condition of the sub-humans today.

The Empire was an extremely xenophobic regime.

Although more than 10,000 years ago, the Emperor himself issued an edict granting Imperial citizenship to some demihumans who were deemed harmless and able to integrate into human society.

But now, when the Emperor himself sat on the Golden Throne and could no longer move, becoming the 'God-Emperor', the current state religion is constantly and intensifying the promotion of the racial ideology of 'all races other than ours'.

They overemphasized the purity of the human skull, excluded and marginalized subhumans, and thus transformed the internal contradictions of the empire and achieved distorted stability.

In the end, apart from the big, brainless Ogryn apes and the short but quick-eyed and agile Ratlings who still had the option of joining the army, for those sub-humans who still had some animality, even the army was only willing to cautiously open a crack in the door.

The army can accept fools, but cannot accept those who disobey orders.

Without jobs, they cannot afford the cost of living, and these sub-races who cannot make a living can only resort to stealing and cheating to make a living.

The Hive Planet is "broad-minded and accommodating", but this tolerance is only for pure-blooded humans.

As a result, most of the sub-races who were hiding from place to place fell into the bottom nest, and even degenerated into the company of heretics.

The bewildered girl sat on the ground like a kitten without a father.

Horatio squatted down, took out a handkerchief and handed it to the half-cat girl.

"Come here, I'll take you to eat something. Then I'll ask you something. As long as you answer well, I'll let you eat your fill."

He knew the habits and living areas of the cat-people, a type of agile sub-human.

It is sparsely populated and most prone to filth and dirt, making it the best place to hold ceremonies.

Cat people are naturally allergic to the forces of chaos.

She has lived to this age, apparently because she has cleverly avoided these areas.

Although we were unable to find a fortune teller, we might be able to get some clues about the Slaanesh cultists from the cats.
