Chapter 7: Dealing with the Rebellion
Before Rhodes could react, the system within his body issued another notification.
[Bonus mission completed, reward: 2000 Universal Energy]
[A new expansion mission has been added. Completing it will increase the system's game pool capacity: Suppress the rebellion on Esperan]
Is this for real? Rod rubbed his still sleepy eyes. It seems his prayers really worked.
Not long after Rhodes and Father Soren reappeared on the bridge.
However, for those waiting on the bridge, this time seemed to stretch out several times over.
Rhodes nodded to his steward, and with this inconspicuous gesture, he had already told everyone present the result of this purity test.
"The traveling merchant Rhodes is completely loyal to the Emperor and the Empire. We have no reason to doubt that he has been corrupted or is colluding with the aliens." As a confessional priest, Sauron's voice exuded an undeniable power.
"But I clearly saw those monsters he created with my own eyes! Either he's an illegal psychic!" Pavi was still trying to describe what he had seen, but this time, no one was willing to listen to a single word he said.
"I've changed my mind." Rhodes looked at the man in front of him who was wailing incessantly. Rhodes tapped his right fingers rhythmically on the back of his left hand. When Pavi heard this, he thought he still had a chance to live, and immediately changed his expression.
"I knew you, esteemed traveling merchant, were incredibly kind; I must have been mistaken before!"
But Rod's next words extinguished his hope completely.
"Not only did he betray the empire and sell out the traveling merchants, but he also spread rumors and slanders on his deathbed. Throwing him into outer space is too lenient a punishment."
Alia, turn him into a mech servant.
The soldiers escorting Pavi ignored his screams and dragged him away from the bridge.
"As for you, come here." Rhodes gestured to the guard named Lope, whom he had rescued from the rebels, and the guard immediately came over.
"Don't be afraid, I don't have the kind of hobby of turning other people into machine servants for fun." Noticing that the other person's legs seemed to be trembling a little, Rhodes explained helplessly.
"No, reporting to the wandering merchant, I am not afraid, just a little excited. Please forgive my rudeness." Lope's voice was filled with excitement. He never thought that he would actually meet one of the legendary top nobles of the empire, the wandering merchant who helped the empire expand its territory and explore the unknown.
"Your loyalty deserves praise, and you seem to have some blood relation to that governor?" Rhodes sized up the young man before him. "In that case, if this planet can still be saved, you will be appointed as the planet's governor."
Lope was almost overwhelmed by this incredible surprise. Becoming the governor of a planet was something he had never dared to dream of before, but now it had become a reality.
"Yes, I, Lope Austin, will certainly not let you down!"
After dealing with the two people brought back from the planet, Rhodes sat back down in his seat on the bridge.
The issue now returns to the chaotic rebellion on the planet Esperan.
Even based solely on the memories he had fused with, Rhodes knew the importance of this planet to his dynasty.
The Vandreik dynasty has declined, and the number of agricultural planets under its control has dwindled to only a handful, barely enough to sustain the dynasty's food supply. While Esperan's food production is not the highest, it still holds an important position.
If he loses the food produced by this planet, then the planets under his command will definitely fall into a new famine, which may then trigger a chain reaction of rebellions on various planets.
Moreover, when he was trapped on the planet, he found the local sake quite to his liking.
It has a low alcohol content and a light fruity aroma.
Whether from the perspective of the dynasty's interests or his own selfish desires, Rhodes hoped that this planet could return to his control.
"Aliya, what's the situation on the planet's surface now?"
"The situation is not optimistic. Rebellions have broken out almost everywhere on the surface of Esperan," Aliya said, her golden eyebrows furrowed. "But according to the investigation of our crew members who returned yesterday, apart from the rebellion near the planetary governor's office, most of the remaining rebellions are just ordinary riots. Those heretics should not have had time to corrupt this planet yet."
"We'll see in a while, right?" Rhodes sensed the unspoken meaning in her words.
Aliya nodded. "After you returned in the shuttle yesterday, the rebels discovered your whereabouts and have now occupied the anti-aircraft guns near the governor's mansion."
With the anti-aircraft guns occupied, it meant that soldiers on the flagship could not be transported directly by shuttles, and every shuttle transporting soldiers would become the most obvious target in the air.
Rhodes could certainly have the Christina fire directly at the anti-aircraft guns near the governor's mansion, blasting them into pieces, but firstly, it would definitely cause massive damage to the core area of the planet, and secondly, it would give the rebels a chance to escape and lie low on the planet.
It seems like an unsolvable problem. Whether it's a direct attack or bypassing the air defense system, it will take time, but right now, time is exactly what Rhodes and his team need most.
The area around the governor's mansion has already become like that. If those Chaos believers were given enough time, Rhodes couldn't even imagine what kind of hell this planet would become.
"But in other words, once we control the anti-aircraft guns, can we quickly take down those Chaos rebels who are clustered together?"
Aliya paused, then didn't deny it: "Yes, but we don't have that right now..."
"Leave it to me." Rhodes interrupted Aria casually. "Go and inform the ship's naval commander to wait for my orders."
Logically speaking, Rhodes shouldn't have any power on the planet to compete for the anti-aircraft guns, especially since the merchant ronin's personal guard has been completely wiped out, which is why the Chaos rebels dared to gather together.
But that's just common sense.
Rhodes' psionic consciousness reconnected with the Ohmu on the planet's surface. Following Rhodes' orders, they cleared away the rebels who had found them in the surrounding area, collected only the crop biomass needed to sustain their basic activities, and then buried it deep in the earth.
Rhodes allocated over 200 units of general-purpose energy to a worker bee, which, combined with the crops the bee collected, was just enough for the worker bee to mutate into a hatchery.
"Worker bees, obey my command..."
Rhodes's command came through the psionic link, and the worker bee began to use its huge pincers to transport crops into its mouthparts. In just a few minutes, the mountain of corn in front of the worker bee was swept away. Then the worker bee's body began to melt and merge with the ground.
A translucent cocoon, constantly wriggling, rises from the ground, grows larger, and through the membrane, one can see the skeleton resembling a worker bee moving inside, its shape constantly changing.
"Mutate into a hatchery, hatch swarms of insects, and then seize the governor's mansion's anti-aircraft guns!"
