The voice of the mysterious figure came through the communicator, with a sense of urgency and seriousness: "John, listen to me. If the situation is as you described, then your current course of action needs to be adjusted. You can no longer operate solely in the shadows. This situation is far more serious than we anticipated. You must immediately inform the governor of Yakhanix Star, let them know about the current crisis, and prepare for full military readiness."
John furrowed his brow, pondering the words of the mysterious figure: "Are you suggesting..."
The shadow interrupted him: "Yes, that's right. Because of the loss of a powerful warlord, Skrarek, it is very likely that the Skaven will trigger internal power struggles. This kind of chaos can easily escalate into larger-scale riots or invasion behavior. They may start seeking new territories or attempting to expand outward, which would be a disaster for the planet Yakhanix."
John frowned, pondering the shadow's words, and responded, "But, Shadow, do you really think the governor of Yakhanix will listen to a group of mercenaries? They may see us as madmen or frauds. Besides, we are just mercenaries. Matters of this level should be handled by someone like you, shouldn't they?"
The voice of the mysterious figure responded with a hint of seriousness: "John, I know this sounds very unusual, even unbelievable. But the current situation is that only you have just returned from the underground city, and you have the most knowledge of the situation there. The governor is a politically sensitive figure to me, and my direct involvement could cause unnecessary suspicion and chaos. But you are different. As mercenaries who have just experienced battle, your testimony will be more convincing."
The mysterious figure's voice in the communicator conveyed a sinister atmosphere in the following words, speaking in a low and serious tone: "John, if the governor is skeptical of your report, then tell him this message. Tell him that the absolute power of the emperor is quietly approaching, ready to resolve this crisis of the rat people. But they will not stop there. If the governor cannot respond to this crisis in time, then the emperor's eyes will turn to him. The next target to be dealt with could be the governor himself."
The words of the mysterious figure were filled with veiled threats and undeniable seriousness, and John felt the weight of the pressure behind the words. It was not just a warning, but also a kind of motivation for the governor, to make him understand that in the face of such a crisis, no one could remain indifferent.
John fell silent for a moment, then sighed. "I understand, mysterious figure. We will try to contact the governor and report our findings to them. But I must say, this will not be an easy task."
The voice of the mysterious figure sounded somewhat relaxed over the communicator: "I know this is a difficult mission, John. But I believe in you and your team. You have always been experts in operating in extreme environments. Remember, this war is not just a battle for the mercenaries, but it concerns the safety of the entire planet. We must stop the spread of chaos. Good luck to you."
After closing the communication, John sat alone in the captain's chair, deeply lost in thought. His gaze was fixed ahead, but in reality, his mind had already flown to a distant place. The appearance and threat of the Skaven, the warning from the mysterious figure, and the so-called "absolute power of the emperor" filled his mind with questions and unease.
Especially the mysterious figure, his existence and true identity have always been a mystery. John couldn't help but become curious about what kind of background and power the mysterious figure possesses, to be able to make such a direct threat to the governor. And what is the "absolute power of the emperor" that he mentioned? These words seem to foreshadow the intervention of a powerful and mysterious force in this chaos.
John's thoughts gradually expanded, and he began to worry that the truly terrifying aspect of this mission might not just be the known chaotic forces. The emperor's force, hidden behind the scenes and controlling everything, might be the real threat. This kind of unknown power is, to John, more frightening than any direct enemy.
John took a deep breath and made a decision in his heart that he must handle every step ahead with even more caution and care. It was not only to complete the mission, but also for the survival of himself and his teammates. In this chaotic battle, any careless move could lead to irreversible consequences.
John slowly stood up from his chair, his thoughts shifting from deep confusion to action. The most important thing now was to immediately inform the governor of Yakhanix Star, letting him understand the situation and prepare for the potential invasion of Skaven. This matter could not be delayed, as every moment of procrastination could exacerbate the crisis.
John walked towards the bridge of the Wind God-class ship, his steps firm and fast. Upon entering the bridge, he saw Karenmu, Alixia, and Taktron still there, the atmosphere seeming relaxed. Perhaps they had not yet realized the seriousness of the threat before them.
"Listen, everyone," John spoke firmly, "we have a new mission now."
The attention of the three people immediately focused on John, and they felt the seriousness of the situation.
"We need to inform the governor of Yakhanix immediately and tell him about the situation with the Skaven," John continued. "We just discovered a huge ratman tribe in the underground city and killed one of their warlords. But this may only be the tip of the iceberg."
"We must make the governor understand that this is not just a small-scale conflict, but a major event that could trigger a planetary crisis," John's tone was serious, "We need to prepare them for battle, because the Skaven will not stop here."
