Starting from the Planetary Governor

Chapter 1436: Chapter 814:

“The Mother Group will help us establish another layer of identity.”

“Communication with the Mother Group was re-established again yesterday, which is the guarantee of our actions.”

…

The holographic projections begin to flicker at high frequency, signifying Spiritual Energy disturbances during the intense debates of Inner Ring members.

Listening to the numerous discussions, Mirorilla felt the blood pumped out from the heart start to heat up—this was the ancient Genetic Lock of the Blood Oath Ring taking effect. When he unclasped his neck guard to reveal the dark red scar on his throat, all projections simultaneously displayed the same mark—a Holy Artifact marking from the Mother Group at the foundation of the group.

Everyone fell silent; the Grand Tutor had already made the final decision.

“In three hours, when the orbital surveillance fleet is changing guards, there is a 47-second gap.” Mirorilla brings up the star map, the coordinates of Gamma VII are as eye-catching as a drop of blood, “Fabricate a Subspace fluctuation alert, we’ll capitalize on the chaos to activate the ’Wing of Ashes’ Warship hidden behind the satellite. Casim, inject loyalty serum to all Outer Layer Brothers; Casim, insert a Tier 3 Chaos contamination report in the Home Planet Database; Uther… prepare to activate the Sanctum Self-destruct Procedure.”

The projection of Battle Group Pharmacist Oren suddenly twists, “Those Outer Layer Brothers… after all…”

“They wear the armor of Death Angels, yet never know the weight of secrets.” Mirorilla places his palm on the Book of Truth in the Confession Room, the spikes of the bronze cover pierce into flesh, “When the flames of the Tribunal cleanse this place, the surviving Outer Layer Brothers will be reborn—as a Battle Group truly loyal to the Alliance.”

Uther suddenly raises a data board of new Alliance blood: “But that Battle Monk named Alvin, he has already…”

“So you will accidentally leak the escape plan to him.” Mirorilla wipes away the bloodstains from his palm, engraving the final instructions onto the stone table, “When the Outer Layer Brothers bravely stop our defection, when the Home Planet Fortress turns to ash in ’crossfire’, Gu Hang will be pleased with another loyal hound. And we will vanish into darkness like our ancestors, continuing the eternal hunt.”

The Battle Group Leader unsheathes the Sword of Redemption, slashing his palm, twelve projections simultaneously perform the same action, “Eternal Hunt!”

As the bell of the Confession Room rings the thirty-seventh time, the orbital fleet suddenly transmits a piercing alarm.

…

Alvin Renak’s retinal projection is bleeding as he gazes at the data stream flickering in the tactical monocle—collected anomalies by the ’Pure Fire Brotherhood’ he secretly established three months ago.

He is an Alliance person, one of the earliest warriors to join the Oath of Remembrance Battle Group.

After joining the group, he quickly showcased excellent performance and swiftly ascended internally; now he is already the flag officer of the third cohort. Traditionally, if his cohort leader encounters any mishap, he would be the closest candidate to succeed as the third cohort leader.

For a newcomer who joined the group less than five years ago, this promotion speed is astonishingly rapid. Anyone would notice that there is no internal exclusion against new Alliance blood within the Oath of Remembrance.

Inside the battle group, everyone seems very polite. The cohort leader respects him, the warriors under his command trust him, executing his combat directives thoroughly.

In conclusion, it seems everything is normal.

However, he himself feels otherwise.

The atmosphere within the battle group is quite estranged. Relationships between everyone appear polite but distant.

Initially, he thought this was a kind of battle group culture, and he actively integrated, maintaining solitude.

But soon, he could no longer bear it.

It was like an instinct from deep within his genes that made him want to rally some warriors to dispel the unease in his heart.

And who could he choose?

Of course, like him, the newcomers from the Alliance blood.

He secretly established a society within the battle group.

This is the origin of the ’Pure Fire Brotherhood’.

At first, he was quite apprehensive about such behavior, always feeling whether he had done something not entirely loyal, even once considering confessing to the Battle Group Priest.

Of course, ultimately, he did not proceed. After hesitating repeatedly, he chose to remain silent. Until a self-destructing private letter from Gu Hang, through the ’Interstellar Soldier Coordinated Combat Committee’ under the ’Dark Side Control Committee’, fell into his hands, and the sense of conflict in his heart was instantly alleviated.

In the letter, Gu Hang expressed some concerns to him about the internal issues of the Oath of Remembrance Battle Group, believing that there are some unknown problems and hidden dangers within the group that might lead the group towards its end and affect the fate of the Alliance and human society. Based on this, Gu Hang advised Alvin to thoroughly investigate all unusual aspects within the group and report as much as possible. Only through this can the purity of the group be ensured, preventing it from straying further down the path of no return.

Hearing this, Alvin Renak completely abandoned his concerns.

Actually, there weren’t much concerns to begin with.

He probably just needed a reason to convince himself.

He joyfully develops his Pure Fire Brotherhood internally within the Oath of Remembrance, to the extent that the total number of members within the Brotherhood has already reached 126.

This constitutes almost half of the new Alliance blood within the battle group.

The remaining who have not been brought in are a group needing testing. They must be proven able to keep the secret of the society through gradual exposure before they can be inducted.

The mission of the whole society is to investigate secrets hidden within the battle group and to fight for the Alliance and humanity as a species.

Recently, however, Alvin has made some new discoveries.

It seems some secret societies have also formed among those over a hundred new Alliance blood who were not introduced to the society, though their scale is generally not substantial; further, he even found small secret societies forming within the Pure Fire Brotherhood.

His mindset is quite calm.

Pretty normal, everyone has their own little secrets, it’s tolerable.

He himself has joined two.

As long as under this larger society of the Pure Fire Brotherhood, everyone’s attitudes and goals can remain aligned, it will be fine.

He remains fairly confident in this; the Brotherhood is still quite ’united’ internally.

And in terms of investigations into the secrets within the battle group, they have gradually achieved some results.

The first was investigating the battle group’s Genetic Seeds storage, after considerable effort, they finally made some breakthroughs: they discovered the group kept some Genetic Seeds, though it is inherently wrong to do so. If the group were truly loyal, they should have submitted all Genetic Seeds without retaining any.

He has already managed to pass this intelligence back to someone in the Interstellar Warrior Management Association dedicated to interfacing with him.

A new directive was returned from the Alliance Central. Firstly, they praised the intelligence, acknowledging it as significant.

Additionally, they requested for a temporary standstill.

Just this point isn’t enough to nail the Oath of Remembrance Battle Group, it’s best to find some new, decisively important evidence.

The Brotherhood began scouring past secret mission records within the battle group, hoping to unearth some leads.

This step, however, is proving extremely difficult. Because during the Dark Side Expedition, they began frequently undertaking combat tasks. Alvin also noticed that the casualty rate among all new Alliance blood, including the Brotherhood members, during combat missions, is significantly higher than the average casualty rate among the rest of the battle group.

This made him realize that there are indeed many secrets within the battle group. No matter how reasonable those combat directives may seem, the ultimate results are such—they are the ones being set up.

This raises a greater sense of urgency within Alvin, prompting him to take some ’minor actions’ on several senior members within the battle group to conveniently track them.

Within the Brotherhood, a combat brother named Shaga, who possesses exceptional Spiritual Energy talent but concealed it upon entering, thus not joining the group’s Think Tank, can help achieve this.

Just now, Shaga suddenly approached him, notifying him of an urgent matter: there’s been abrupt movement among the group’s top brass. They’ve gathered peculiarly and boarded spacecraft heading towards the dark side of Luku Star’s primary satellite without any command from the Alliance Military.

Just as he churned with suspicion over this, a command from his cohort leader came, instructing him to lead his squad,
