Once a large number of believers came to pilgrimage every day, and the population here once expanded to hundreds of millions, which later led to a series of problems. Finally, in the early 40,000 years, the patriarch announced the edict of purification.
The Cathedral of Jihad and its surrounding hundreds of kilometers have been declared "flawless land", which means it has been completely purified and no longer has a trace of dirty land. Therefore, in order to avoid being polluted, believers who come to pilgrimage must show "sincerity", that is, sufficient tribute to step on this land. This amount is not low, and 90% of the believers were directly screened, which also reduced the population of the Cathedral of Jihad to about three million. They are basically priests of the state religion, and some serve high-level servants, officials, sporadic merchants, etc.
Naturally, this also eased the problems caused by population tension in a sense, but the number of people who pilgrimage did not decrease. They could only kneel down to the holy land farther away. Many people often started in ten years, so a continuous "pilgrimage village" was formed around the flawless land, which was still crowded and resource-intensive. In order to prevent the disorderly expansion of the pilgrimage village, there were also forklifts to deal with it regularly.
But generally speaking, since the Apostasy Rebellion, St. Casparen has continued to have stability and prosperity for thousands of years.
Unfortunately, such stability was destroyed.
The huge and magnificent warships gathered on the track of this quiet world, indicating the quietly arrival of the clouds of war. A group of senior officials of the local state religion were waiting anxiously outside the large apron one kilometer away from the Cathedral of Jihad.
Accompanied by the stormbird's unique engine roar, the huge steel warhawk swooped down from the sky and landed on the apron in an impatient manner, followed by the second and third...
After five storm birds landed on the ground, the door was open neatly. Amid the heavy footsteps, the majestic Terminator walked out of the cabin and lined up in two rows, followed by two flag bearers, one held the flag of the battle group and the one held the eagle emblem of the governor awarded by Terra. When the two flag bearers stood firm, Soshiyang, with a gloomy face, walked out slowly.
Even wearing ritual armor, he was taller than the Terminator. Following him were Amnak and Robin. After Thor gradually moved away from the core of the group, Amnak replaced him as the main swordsman in charge of the legion and the only one who convinced Robin. The two also became master-apprentice relationships in a sense. Amnak also admitted that Robin was a rare swordsman genius and praised Soshiyang for his good luck. Even in the era of the legion, there were not many in a legion.
"welcome--"
When Soshiyan was seen coming, Patriarch Ignatius II, dressed in a gorgeous robe and a towering triple crown, immediately opened his arms and bent slightly.
"This is a sacred day for the warrior of the God Emperor, the guardian of the empire, the commander of the battle of Soshyan Alexey."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the bronze bells in the church area immediately shaking neatly and making loud and neat sounds, which represented the highest courtesy of the cardinal world.
Soshiyang nodded slightly.
"I am honored by your welcome, but I still have some urgent matters to deal with. I will talk to you later."
After saying that, he took a step forward, leaving behind cardinals with inexplicable expressions.
In the end, one of them whispered his guess.
"I'm afraid it's not related to those people in the Alien Trial Court..."
Suoshyan ignored the priests who were kneeling on the ground along the way, and walked along the avenue and soon arrived at the door of an ancient church, which was very close to the jihad cathedral and was usually used for daily rituals. However, there are some spacemarines standing outside the church, and you can see mantis warriors, flesh-torners, and wailers.
After seeing Soshiyan, they all cast excited eyes, as if they had seen the savior.
As the door was opened, Soshiyang walked in without saying a word, and the Terminators remained outside the door, with only a few company commanders and followers following him, a luxurious and magnificent hall, with sunlight shooting out of the stained glass windows, depicting the patterns of angels and knights, and a statue of the emperor overlooking all living beings, as if it were some kind of stern reminder, admonishing everyone present that everything was under His gaze.
At this time, there were already many people in the church hall.
Malakin, the second company commander of the Cryer, Germain Juarez, the commander of the Mantis Warriors, and Seth, the commander of the Flesh Tearman, are all here. In addition, Vidrian Cino, the master of the Watch, who visited Soshiyan, is also here. There are more than a dozen death watchers, and there are two mortals in addition to them. They can see their identities from their dress-
Trial Court.
After seeing Soshiyan come in, one of the judges turns around.
"You are finally here, commander of the Soshyan Battle, I am Scarman Havas, from the Foreign Resistance Council. This is my colleague, Busa Had. We come to preside over this battle against the Tyron invasion and evaluate the size of this Tyron stock, and judge whether to apply for more support based on the evaluation results. This is an unusual war, but we need to deal with another issue before that."
Soshiyan didn't speak, but stood quietly, and the judge immediately pointed his finger at Malakin.
"The commander of the Wombardiers, Malakin, was brave in the battle of Sondheim V. He should have died there, but an unexpected group of spiritual aliens rescued him, including the rest of the Wombardiers. These spiritual races were described by witnesses and were fully consistent with the characteristics of a certain evil and bully power of the Spiritual race that the Inquisition is pursuing. According to the confession, Malakin claimed that he was sent to their ship by the Spiritual race when he was seriously injured and unconscious. He knew nothing about what happened later, which requires further investigation. At the same time, the second company commander of the Wombardiers, Germain Juarez, is also suspected of conducting secret transactions with the Spiritual race. Some people anonymously reported that he cooperated with the Spiritual race and allowed the Spiritual race to arrest the imperial citizens at will."
"You're talking nonsense!"
Germain Juarez immediately retorted, his expression was very angry, but he still tried hard to restrain himself.
"At that time, Tyron was approaching and the transport ship was damaged. Do we have to leave those people behind? Do I have any other choice? As for those secret arrests, those people are gene stealers."
The judge shook his head.
Chapter completed!
