In the ideal city of Hephaestus, no one is that poor because the government provides welfare and also arranges jobs.
It's not true that you won't eat. Even if you use up your family's entire month's minimum living allowance, the new government will still provide you with a relief fund through your identity card when you have no money left and need to eat.
However, unlike before, the entire month's worth of money won't be sent out in one day. Instead, it will be sent out in installments to prevent you from wasting money.
In Hephaestus, Cerix Mor felt that all his experiences in the galaxy had been meaningless.
Chapter 177 Discovering the Clown of the Spirit Lord
Kelex Moore blended into the crowd heading to the public dining hall, and in order to avoid being recognized and to conceal his figure, he followed the queue like an ordinary human citizen.
The canteen was spacious and bright, with a wide variety of nutritious food, far exceeding any human world he had ever seen, and even better than the rations in some Eldar Ark worlds.
The food provided to the human governor was not just about filling people's stomachs and making them taste good; it was almost an art form.
The food was beautifully presented, and its taste was indescribable. Even this picky spirit race member was greatly amazed after tasting human cuisine.
Kelex Moore had to admit that the current state of humanity was somewhat beyond their expectations.
Such a configuration would only be made by the Eldar as long as the Eldar Empire still existed.
Moreover, even during the time of the Ancient Spirit Clan Empire, only high-ranking nobles could enjoy such delicacies.
But what about humans? The human governor's office is providing this food to ordinary people for free!
Every piece of infrastructure built reflects the power and wealth of humanity at this time. No wonder such a powerful and wealthy civilization was able to wipe out the Eldar.
Kelex Moore held his spoon and spooned the delicious food into his mouth, one spoonful at a time.
But in his heart, he was plotting how to achieve his goal: to completely destroy these 108 pearls of the human world.
If this were the world of their Eldar, he would be overjoyed, but unfortunately, this is the world of humanity that destroyed their Eldar.
Based on the information he has gathered, he has obtained a partial topographical map of the governor's residence.
However, because those materials were inaccessible, he couldn't see which areas within these topographic maps were under surveillance or had alarms; this was something he still needed to investigate.
As for the guards at the Governor's Palace, he saw very few guards, only some guards maintaining order and facilitating visits and access to the Governor's Palace for business.
Unlike the constant guards and patrols outside the palace by the Imperial Guard Grey Knights, the Planetary Defence Force, and the Space Marines, the quiet servants at the Governor's Mansion acted as if there were no enemies.
There was almost no defense here, but who would believe it?!
The nobles of the human empire are a bunch of cowards who are afraid of death. Would they not protect their own safety? Even though what he had seen and heard all this time was unbelievable to Kelex Moore, it was still the same.
He believed that all the nobles and high-ranking officials, regardless of their race, were the same; they were all equally afraid of death.
In order to figure out as many details as possible, he quickly finished his meal and then began to stroll around the governor's mansion.
However, just like when he was strolling around before, no one stopped him and he was allowed to wander around as he pleased.
His gains were the same as before; apart from obtaining more topographic maps, he still hadn't discovered what dangers and weapons were hidden within them.
The Zero-Element Armor prevents psionic energy from exploring, making it impossible for psionic energy to see through the armor and know what kind of weapons are hidden behind it.
Despite the dire situation, Kelex Moore, a seasoned veteran, calmly strolled around the governor's mansion, searching for the place he wanted to go.
As he strolled around the governor's mansion, the Imperial Guards and Grey Knights finally discovered the hiding place of these clowns.
Kelex Moore was very experienced; he certainly knew how to evade the Imperials of Man's detection, but his clowns were not.
A technologically advanced world like the Ideal City is almost unheard of in the entire universe, so ordinary Eldar clowns have no idea how to deal with such a world and continue their covert operations within it.
Their flaws were numerous, and their various forms of surveillance left these spirit race members with virtually nowhere to hide.
While Calex Mohr was investigating the situation inside the governor's mansion, the Imperial Guard had already reported this intelligence to Trajan.
Upon hearing this intelligence, Trajan was overjoyed and stood up abruptly, giving a loud order.
"Now quietly evacuate all the citizens, gather the troops, and mobilize the legions to surround it, layer upon layer, and completely encircle it!"
"Psionic jammer activated, network jammer activated, warp blockade activated! Block all their escape routes! Psionic blockade activated!"
"If we can't wipe them all out this time, none of us can be held accountable to the War Commander!"
Trajan's order was given, and the Imperial Guard began to carry it out.
Under the pretext of "municipal pipeline stress test" and "regional signal upgrade", citizens around the target area were quietly evacuated to designated safe areas by intelligent guidance system and community staff in an extremely natural and non-panic-inducing manner.
The entire process was smooth and quick, thanks to Ideal City's highly developed urban management and the cooperation of its citizens.
At the same time, as the evacuation began, the Space Marines' Guardian Grey Knights and the Silent Sisters also entered the community.
A small squadron also arrived, and four escort ships began to blockade the area.
A special sonic jammer is activated, emitting frequencies that are imperceptible to the human ear but can greatly interfere with the Eldar's keen hearing and sense of balance.
With the network jammer at full power, it distorted the surrounding spatial structure, making any attempt to open the Eldar network extremely dangerous and unpredictable.
The subspace containment device hummed, forcibly stabilizing the real-world structure and significantly reducing the activity of subspace energy.
A psionic blocking matrix is superimposed on top, forming multiple layers of protection.
The Imperial Guard mobilized a total of 5 men, while the Grey Knights mobilized 10 men, the Silent Sisters mobilized 10 men, and together with them, 100 million ordinary Space Marines were mobilized.
A large army surrounded the entire area, ensuring that even if the Eldar tried to force their way through, they would have no chance of escape.
Numerous fighter jets in orbit are also ready to take off and intercept any potential strike forces.
Various types of Space Marine tanks, including the Annihilator Tanks, began to rumble and surround this area.
A deadly trap had been quietly set in motion without Kelex Moore's knowledge.
Meanwhile, Kelex Moore, who was still "strolling" inside the governor's mansion, suddenly felt a strange sense of unease.
It was the instinctive intuition of a seasoned warrior against danger, even though everything around seemed calm and peaceful.
Kelex Moore had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.
But he couldn't figure out what bad thing was going to happen, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
Chapter 178 A Storm is Brewing, the Spirit Clan Decides to Launch the Plan
Once the last unit had completed its deployment, the Imperial Guards launched the attack, and with so many troops attacking, the clowns were naturally doomed.
As a large number of golden-armored cornmen charged towards the clowns, the clowns instinctively wanted to notify their leader, Kelex Moore, but it was all in vain.
The psionic jammers cut off their communication systems.
The clowns' notifications went unanswered, like a stone sinking into the sea.
Before they could even confirm whether their message had been sent, the Imperial Guards had already rushed in front of them, their spears slashing down fiercely.
Some clowns tried to raise their swords to fight back, but their powerful psychic abilities became useless at that moment, rendering them unusable.
In a physical sense, the clown was no match for the Imperial Guards. With just one strike, a clown was cleaved in two by the Imperial Guards.
Trajan took the lead, wielding his weapon and slicing several clowns in half with a single sweep, then turning and destroying them with a bomb.
The clowns who were killed were not even left with ashes.
The clowns were stunned by this scene, and of course they knew they had no chance of surviving.
With their spiritual power suppressed and the network unable to open, what else can they do?
They seemed powerless to do anything but be slaughtered like pigs and dogs by the Imperial Guard.
The formidable Imperial Guards, when faced with the cunning and unpredictable clown, found themselves like lambs to the slaughter on certain battlefields.
No, it was less a battle and more a massacre, lasting only a few seconds before it was completely over.
All 303 clowns were killed, and now only Kelex Mor, who is still wandering around the governor's mansion, remains as the Eldar unit on the ideal city of Hephaestus.
The Eldar's plot has clearly failed.
Before Kelex Moore knew what was happening, the Laughing God shook his head helplessly.
They acted first, seizing the souls of these clowns to prevent them from being plundered and devoured by Slaanesh.
It's pretty much over. The clown's main force has been wiped out, and the scene of Hephaestus in the ideal city will be witnessed when the God of Laughter comes to snatch souls again.
He didn't think his clown character could infiltrate such a city.
Since that's the case, there's no need to make any more sacrifices.
The Laughing God's spiritual power surged, and Kelex Moore, who was strolling around the Governor's Mansion, vanished instantly.
The leader of this clown troupe, who has been under my command since the Great Fall, can't just die like this; I still have to take him back.
As for the Eldar's plans? Well, 107 out of 108 worlds have already been settled.
The fall of the other 107 worlds is inevitable, including this most quintessential ideal city world.
He believed that, given the Chaos Gods' complete madness, they would swarm to this human world upon discovery. In the face of the attacks from the four Chaos Gods, the human empire would be unable to protect this most dazzling jewel among the 108 worlds.
Although they don't have the equipment here to allow the Chaos God's army to launch a full-scale attack.
Even though the planet's void shield and planetary energy shield still exist, Laughing God still believes that the Chaos God can win.
No plan can be perfect. No matter how well you plan, there will always be mistakes and omissions. But small problems will not affect the overall situation.
The Imperial Guard wiped out all the clowns of the Spirit Clan, and the disappearance of the lord clown leader, who was suddenly rescued by the God of Laughter in the Governor's Mansion, naturally triggered the alarm.
In the world of Ideal City, unless you have checked in here and explained your situation, you will gradually grow into someone who gains extraordinary power.
Otherwise, the sudden appearance of supernatural power would definitely trigger an alarm, and the Imperial Guard would arrive immediately.
Moreover, the Governor's Office is the region with the strictest supervision.
How could the sudden disappearance of a human citizen within the Governor's Mansion not trigger an alarm?
Less than two minutes after Laughing God rescued his commander, the Imperial Guards arrived and conducted a thorough investigation of the area.
After accessing the area's surveillance cameras and psionic energy monitors, the Royal Guard determined that there was still an Eldar clown present, but he had already disappeared.
This intelligence was quickly reported to Trajan by the Imperial Guard, who then sought out Zhou Qing again and gave him a detailed report on what had happened in this world.
"I understand. All the worlds are on high alert. If I'm not mistaken, these spirit lords are preparing to begin their conspiracy."
"Based on the intelligence you received previously, the other 107 worlds should have already fallen victim to their treachery. Have the local planetary governors noticed anything amiss?"
Although Trajan was reluctant to admit that the human empire had not discovered any tampering by the Eldar, he had no choice but to report, "No."
"Well, after all, they were once the overlords of the galaxy, so it's understandable that they have some tricks up their sleeves. We can't underestimate anyone."
