A Caged bird in the land of eagles (Albania SI) by Fearless leader

When entering the urban area, Damon saw many civilians and soldiers.

Even in this relatively safe area, the situation is not optimistic.

The food reserves in Lorisa are running low, and most people look pale and thin. Corpses can be seen falling down in the city from time to time. Once these corpses are found, the patrolling soldiers will immediately burn them.

The bodies of those killed by the Nurgle plague were covered with pustules. If left unchecked, they would either turn into zombies or Nurgle hives.

This requires both the Planetary Defense Force and the Ministry of Justice to devote a lot of manpower to maintain internal stability.

Damon, who was sitting in the troop carrier, suddenly saw the faithless people mentioned earlier.

"Awake my fellow men! Submit yourself to the voice of the Emperor, the insects of the Empire are leading Lorisa to destruction!

Listen to the Emperor's voice. It is these state religions that have distorted the Emperor's will and caused him to be trapped on the Golden Throne and suffer for us!"

"What's going on? How did these guys get through the blockade? Guards, arrest him! Quick!"

Franz was obviously shocked that these unbelievers appeared in the city!

The soldiers in the escort team immediately walked towards the other party and tried to stop them, but the next second, the other party detonated the explosives on their bodies. The huge explosion destroyed everything around and drowned several guards.

As the explosion sounded, a large number of mobs rushed out from the surrounding buildings.

They even had imperial-style weapons in their hands.

They did not harm other civilians, but only targeted the Imperial Guards, and charged towards a state church not far away, shouting at the top of their lungs to denounce the state religion.

The pastor and believers in the church did not sit idly by.

A fierce battle immediately broke out between the two.

Both sides are extreme believers, and both call the other side a heretic who distorts the Emperor's will. During the battle, they all shout the Emperor's name, making the battle situation seem particularly divided. Who is the traitor?

Damon thought that this group of thugs were also Chaos cultists, but he did not sense any Chaos power from them.

"Sir! It's those heretics! Drive! Get out of here!"

Franz screamed in fear and urged the driver to hurry and find more reinforcements.

But this group of mobs has already set their sights on the convoy where Damon and others are.

The intensive automatic gunfire hit the armor plate violently.

There were even people with explosives tied to their bodies who were heading towards the convoy.

The accompanying Lorisa planetary defense force was caught off guard by this sudden attack.

There were corpses left on the ground.

With their extreme fanaticism and fearlessness, they broke through the defense line formed by the guards.

Although Damon was curious about these special mobs and was not so angry about the destruction of the church as he did not believe in the Emperor, he had no choice but to fight back at this time.

One by one, the rangers got off the troop carrier, and Damon and two night guards beside him also joined the battle.

The untrained mob, armed only with one weapon and without any armor, had no power to resist the well-trained rangers and the Night Guards who were far superior to ordinary people.

The mob's attack was contained in an instant.

Franz poked his head out cautiously. He had seen the Emperor's angels before, but the mortals before him seemed even more powerful than the Astartes.

The attack came and went quickly. Damon had already controlled the leader, and a part of the mob began to retreat out of fear.

After confirming that it was safe, Franz also walked out of the troop carrier.

"Captain Damon! Why don't you kill him yet!"

Damon ignored Franz and looked at the people he had controlled. He then checked the bodies of other mobs.

Although these people also show signs of being thin due to long-term lack of food and nutrition, they are obviously different from the others.

The refugees in the outer areas should have been suffering from the disease, but there was no sign of infection in this group of people.

"Why didn't you get the disease?"

Hearing Damon's words, the other party smiled.

"Why! Of course it's because of our piety. The Emperor of God protects us. Only by constantly whipping ourselves can we avoid being eroded by the plague!

Only we can keep the people of this planet free from disease.

We are saving the world!"

Damon tore off the man's tattered shirt, revealing countless shocking wounds all over his body, some of which had not yet healed or formed scabs.

This is not brought by others, but caused by themselves.

The whipping they spoke of was not just verbal, but was actually inflicted on their bodies.

And no mutations were found in these people.

There was not even the slightest trace of Chaos corruption, as if they had truly been blessed by the Emperor.

"Where did you get your weapons? And how did you get past the blockade?"

Damon couldn't believe that these civilians had access to so many standard weapons.

These weapons cannot be made by rubbing them together with your hands.

Faced with Damon's questioning, the other party said nothing and even calmly accepted the impending death.

But before Damon could delve deeper, Franz immediately spoke.

"Please allow me to execute these rioters immediately! Before they influence other people!"

"Leave this man to me. I need to get more information from him!"

"But... this is against the law. The state religion won't allow you to do this!"

"Franz, I want you to understand that neither the Ecclesiarchy nor your Governor has the right to order the Astra Militarum to do anything, not to mention that your Governor is dead.

Now is a war. In order to pacify the chaotic situation in Lorisa, all existing forces and resources need to be integrated by us!"

Franz was stunned... No! Isn't this here to help us?

Franz wanted to refute, but after thinking about the warships in orbit and the previous combat effectiveness of Damon and others, he chose to shut up honestly. He was not the governor... There was no need to risk his life to refute this group of interstellar troops.

And the Astra Militarum Army in front of them is the only force they can rely on.

When Damon came here, he had no intention of being controlled by the local forces of Lorisa.

According to Gao Yi's request, coming to save the humans on the planet and prevent the spread of chaos is one thing, but coming to "occupy the mountain and become the king" is also true.

A total of 200,000 fully armed rangers and their affiliated logistics troops began to land at the landing site and began to take over the original defense of the garrison.

The priests accompanying the army also began to take control of the factory areas that were still in operation, and immediately began to repair various damaged facilities.

And most importantly, the large amount of supplies Damon brought began to stabilize the situation on Lorisa.

Food produced by the battleship's ecological recycling system and starch blocks processed from mushrooms.

It gives hope to civilians who are always on the brink of starvation.

But the most serious problem is the widespread plague.

Conventional treatments cannot completely cure these viruses that carry the evil of the subspace.

These viruses continue to destroy people's bodies. The presence of medical soldiers can delay the plague from eroding people's bodies, but it is only a temporary solution and not a permanent cure.

The real horror of the Plague of Grim Reaper lies in its pervasiveness.

The fleet began to carry out targeted bombings on the completely occupied areas, and the rangers also began to attack the Nurgle zombies and the Nurgle cultists they spawned
