Warhammer 40: My Fiancée Fulgrim

Casca said calmly, "Do you know that fear cannot bring lasting peace?"

"So what if I know?"

Sevita shouted in a somewhat resigned manner, "Since you look down on Lord Night's actions, what can you do about it?"

How to do?

do not know.

For the next few days, Kasgar kept dropping gold coins all over Nostramore's lair.

Initially, the process was indeed slow, but the clever Casgar quickly led Sevita to infiltrate the governor's residence and "borrow" a speedboat belonging to the planet PDF.

Then it underwent some modifications and was transformed into—

Batmobile!

The dark blue paint job, combined with the streamlined and sleek lines, already indicates that this is the best of the best among the speed-attack Batmobiles.

With the help of the Batmobile, the next eight days of Robin Hood-like life were quite enjoyable.

While robbing the rich, Casgar did not completely abandon the advanced experience left by Coz.

After each time he killed a corrupt bureaucrat or family member, he would write the name of the midnight ghost and the damned crime in conspicuous bloodstains.

The murderer is a midnight ghost!

Although everyone knows that the current midnight ghosts are slightly different from those of the past, they may even choose to redistribute the money that has been collected and put into the treasury.

But their methods don't seem to have changed much.

Those targeted by midnight ghosts still meet a gruesome end.

The Skolewalker family residence.

"How many times is this?"

As the head of the Skolewalker family, a middle-aged man sat in his opulent office, decorated with gold everywhere, and let out a disgruntled roar.

All those sent by the family to other hive regions fell victim to that guy who called himself "Midnight Ghost".

Midnight Ghost! Midnight Ghost!

The head of the Skolewalk family slammed his fist on the table in extreme impatience.

If Koz really came, he would definitely run away on the spot.

In order to defeat other families and thus control all of Nostramore's resources—especially the mining and refining of adamantite—he did a lot of dirty work and assigned many dirty tasks in the mines of Hive City.

However, as long as they can control the lifeline of Northramor's adamantite ore and increase the production of adamantite for future tithes, those imperial bureaucrats will not have the energy to care about what they are doing in the hive.

As long as it's not a midnight ghost returning, everything is fine.

Of course, this guy is clearly not a midnight ghost.

—Casgar Sherlock.

They disappeared without a trace after landing on the planet Nostramo.

Who else could it be but the commander of this emperor's son?

I don't know what got into this guy, ignoring what's happening on his own planet, he comes to Nostramore to act like a tyrant, how arrogant he is!

The key issue is that we can't retaliate on our own.

The other party was, after all, a high-ranking combatant from the Empire. As the chief lord and commander of the Sons of the Emperor's Legion, he held a prestigious position.

The death of a governor might be less forgiving if he paid enough tithes, but the death of the second-in-command of the Legion of Astartes would not be.

As Fugrim's husband, Skrywalker had no doubt that if he were to disappear, a Primarch would expend tremendous effort to turn the entire Northramor upside down.

"Then, sir, what should we do?"

"How to do?"

Skolewalker shook his head: "At least we have new recruits in the Midnight Lords Legion, so he probably wouldn't dare to really provoke a conflict between the two Astartes Legions."

"Since he enjoys playing house, let him do it. Inform all members of the Skolewalker family at all residences to minimize going out and not to act alone."

“He likes to give money to the poor, so we can get ahead of him and distribute the gold coins in areas where we have a surplus. When they have their fun and leave, we can collect double the amount back.”

As he spoke, Skolewalker's eyes revealed a hint of vengeful malice.

"We'll make plans after this storm passes."

Skolewalker instructed.

It's already the end of the ninth day.

Kaska looked at his three assistants. Compared to the previous thugs who were full of malice and arrogance, their eyes were now filled with tension and unease.

Although he spent those nine days robbing the rich to help the poor, living a spectacular and glamorous life.

But according to the agreement, they will die tomorrow.

They were not prepared for the death they were about to face.

Perhaps they already knew their fate of dying tragically in the streets when they were born in Nostradamo.

But when that moment actually arrives, there's still a sense of resentment.

The good news is that being able to die painlessly while being targeted by a midnight ghost is a kind of blessing from that ghost.

Kazan thought to himself, as if trying to comfort himself.

"I can tell that none of you want to die."

Casca said, "If that's the case..."

"I will give you this choice, the choice to survive."

!

In an instant, the gloom in the eyes of the three assistants vanished, replaced by an incredulous excitement.

Is there any chance of survival?

There's a chance I can survive!

How to do it?

What are the conditions?!

"The conditions are simple: you don't need to come here to meet tomorrow, and I guarantee I won't retaliate against any of you."

what?

Kazan couldn't even believe what he was hearing.

The conditions offered to them by the Midnight Ghosts were as easy as having none at all.

"But if in the end none of the three of you show up, I will turn around and leave."

Casca: "From now on, the Midnight Ghosts will never return to this planet, and from now on, those corrupt bureaucrats will collude with their families here. Our game ends here."

"And if you are willing to believe that I am the Midnight Ghost myself, capable of sweeping away all evil with justice, then come here at this time tomorrow."

"At that time, your lives will end along with theirs."

"Also, here are the gold coins you received. Keep them safe."

As he spoke, Kaska flicked three fine gold coins from his hand to the three of them.

With this fine gold coin, they could fly far away, leave the troublesome place of Nostramore, and go to another planet.

"Everything is up to you to choose."

After saying that, Casca lightly leaped and disappeared from their sight again along with Sevita.

"What does this mean? They're not killing us again?"

Seated aboard the Bat-Speed ​​Boat, Sevita impatiently asked Casca a question.

"This is my final test for Nostramore."

"Casgar said."

"Unlike you, I believe in humanity."

"What kind of humanity is this? Brother, do you really believe they would choose to sacrifice themselves for the death of a complete stranger?"

"What difference does it make whether you believe or not?"

In the end, the results will speak for themselves.

Kasgar answered, facing the damp air that rushed into Nostramo's nest.

Clutching the gold coins in his hand, Kazan walked home shakily.

He no longer knew what he was thinking, or even how he got back.

All he remembered was that the gold coin felt warm and hard to the touch.

It felt a little different from when he used to hand out money everywhere—this was his money.

He is rich!

I strolled back to my home—which was less a home and more a small area carved out of a sewer.

He has been living here ever since he was driven out of his home by those officials.

Kazan looked at his little nest in front of him, as if he had returned to the past.

He originally had a real home, the kind with family.

Although he had a hard childhood, he could feel the hunger of lacking food and clothing. This seemed to be the root cause of his current thinness.

But their lives only began to improve for the first time when the legend of the midnight ghosts spread and the Midnight King ruled over all of Nostramore.

Gradually, they were able to move into black houses, and with the supplies provided by the family, their lives were secured.

In their family, besides Kazan and their parents, there is a strong older brother and a clever younger sister; the five of them live happily together.

Kazan greatly admires the Midnight King.

Even though he felt uncomfortable with the torture he performed during his live streams and even vomited on the spot, Kazan would still convince himself that it was necessary.

Otherwise, he would have to live in the sewers.

This is why, when the two Batmen jumped down and claimed to be Midnight Ghosts, Kazan immediately stood up and identified them as definitely not.

But the good times didn't last long.

Not long ago, the Midnight King joined the Interstellar Expedition, leaving Nostramore to be governed jointly by the family and the governor.

Just as the previous repression was better released, those who were afraid of the Midnight King's torture revealed their true colors at this moment.

Not long after they left, they began to escalate their behavior.

Amidst frequent extortion, taxes, and fines, the little savings I had accumulated were quickly spent.

Kazan's father couldn't repay his debts, so his leg was broken by bodyguards hired by the family. He then fell ill and died soon after because he couldn't afford medicine.

Seeing this, Kazan's brother decided to confront the family, believing that the Midnight Ghost would appear to uphold justice and thus foolishly walked into their trap.

As a result, during the argument, he was slashed by a member of the family, bled profusely, and died that same day.

The burden of the family's medical expenses and the fines for his elder brother's troublemaking fell on Kazan's shoulders.

In order to repay the debt, Kazan has signed a work contract with his family in just a few months, a contract that will likely last him forever.

But he had to do it for his mother and sister at home.

Perhaps seeing how hard and tiring it was for Kazan to repay his debts, and how he could only eat contaminated corpse starch on a daily basis, Kazan's mother actually lost her mind and went to steal the leftover meat and vegetables from the family banquet that were about to be dumped down the drain.

Theft is an evil deed that midnight wanderers absolutely cannot tolerate!

According to the family, as a form of punishment, they chose to burn Kazan's mother alive in a live broadcast in the local neighborhood.

As for Kazan's sister...

When she realized that her brother was unable to repay the money, she secretly went to be selected as a maid for the family, but was taken away from the bottom of the nest by the bodyguards.

Before she left, she told Kazan that she was going to Upper Nest soon, a place where she could live a good life—even if she was just a servant, life would definitely be better than in the sewers.

Moreover, after she becomes a maid, she can bring Kazan a large sum of money, making it easier to pay off his debts.

My sister smiled.
