Regarding the Holy Flame Cult, Ibanks heard some rumors. As early as when he first came to the cathedral, he heard that there seemed to be a sect with less orthodox doctrine among the entourage brought by Soshiyan. In addition, there seemed to be some unofficial personnel changes in the top leaders of the cathedral.
So when Soshiyan proposed to use certain sects as a guise, he couldn't help but have some concerns. After all, this is a bit abnormal no matter how you look at it. It doesn't look like an arrangement that Asatte would make, but Soshiyan's attitude seemed to be very firm.
So Ebanks asked Soshiyan how to arrange the important personnel of the diocese, and Soshiyan told the other party that the Pope would naturally arrange it, and the sect was just a fig leaf.
In addition, in order to dispel the other party's concerns, Soshiyang also said that the militarization of the cathedral will be completed in the future, and even launching a jihad expedition to many dark areas in the Storm Star Domain to further expand the scope of the influence of the state religion. At the same time, the Knights of the Astral Realm will also actively respond to the call of the state religion.
The key point is naturally the last sentence. This is Ebanks' surprise. You should know that most Space Marines stay away from the state religion. No matter how the state religion respects them, they do not have it, and they are not even more influential than the Inquisition on Space Marines. This is a very frustrating thing for all popes, even if there is a Space Marine thug in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
But now Soshiyan had the intention to take the initiative to approach the state religion. Ibanks dared not look down on it and quickly stated that the matter was serious and needed to ask the Pope for advice.
Soshiyan also said that this was fine, but Tyron did not wait for anyone. The news came and went, and he could not guarantee that there would be anything urgent to leave. In this case, Ebanks could only allow Soshiyan to do things first, which was equivalent to taking action and then reporting. In order to appease the other party's uneasy heart, Soshiyan told him that he was willing to write a handwritten letter to the Pope to explain the current situation, and expressed the willingness of the Astral Knight to establish a good relationship with the State Church.
This made Ebanks so happy. If things were done, it would be a great achievement, and it would win over a powerful space warrior for the National Church. This credit and capital were enough for him to compete for Cardinal Terra!
Shortly after the discussion, Ebanks summoned senior officials of the National Church in the Catholic Church and announced the decision to "permanent jihadize" of the Catholic Church, which will add 13 fortress worlds, develop 16 industrial worlds, and add jihadist lords under the patriarch. They will be the rulers and military leaders of every fortress world under the Catholic Church, and at the same time, implement a universal military service system, and every adult male will undergo regular military training.
Regarding the Holy Flame Sect, Ebanks chose to ignore it and let it develop. After all, he is the representative of the Pope and cannot support the unorthodox sect, but it is enough to pretend that he cannot see it.
However, Ebanks did not realize that the symbols of the Holy Flame Clan not only began to spread in the cathedral, but also began to appear in large numbers among the Knights of Silence and those who were not noticed by the low-level people who were not noticed.
Logically speaking, these things can be busy with Soshiyan for a long time, but fortunately, with the assistance of Villets and Sierlu, Ustad's handling of government affairs is becoming more mature, so Soshiyan is much more relaxed and has time to deal with military affairs, including commendation, awards, promotions and other tasks. In addition, considering that the Victory Secret is definitely in chaos, Soshiyan asked Malakin, Seth and others to lead their respective battle groups back first, leaving only Arash and the White Temple.
Before Malakin and others left, Soshiyang also added some ships to the allies of the Suffering Alliance. After all, everyone suffered heavy losses in this battle and there was nothing to seize. It just so happened that Zhao Akada, Ulanhuda, and other World Forging (the previous auction settlement) provided a batch of new warships to arrive in the cathedral. Soshiyang simply handed over some frigates, destroyers and other small ships to the allies. Among them, Soshiyang, who had the greatest loss, was the most generous to the crying man, who handed over two strike cruisers and six frigates to Malakin, at least to restore their fleet to a certain extent to combat effectiveness.
In this part, there are not many warships in the hands of the Knights of the Star Realm, only 2 large revenge class cruisers (delivered by Griya), 1 Rogon-class light aircraft carrier (delivered by Ulanhuda), 2 Styx heavy cruisers (delivered by Huangquan 8), 3 Viper-class missile destroyers (delivered by Ulanhuda), 2 Fearless class light cruisers (delivered by Griffin 4), 5 new star frigates (delivered by Zhao-Akada), 14 Cobra-class destroyers (delivered by multiple casting worlds), 3 Goliath casting ships (delivered by Griffin 4). So far, Huangquan 8 has delivered 3 Styx to the Legion, and there are still 10 Cardinal class being transformed and waiting for future delivery.
These warships cannot even make up for the losses in this battle, but there is no way to do so. This is the case with war. There is no business of making a profit without losing money.
When heading to the Grand Diocese, the Legion sent 27 battleships and 128 small ships. In a series of battles, six main battleships, including the Moon-class cruiser Nasson Blade, the Tyrant-class cruiser Holy Shield, the Enemy, the Pluto-class heavy cruiser Invisible Fear, the Pioneer-class strike cruiser Tornado, the Dictator-class heavy cruiser Spinel (it was too severely damaged during the battle and was forced to abandon the ship) and six main battleships sank, the severely damaged Mars-class battlecruiser Kai
After emergency repairs in the dock of the Cardinal World, the Soul Messenger of the Spin and the Battle Barge, although their navigation capabilities were restored, their combat capabilities were not restored. They needed to be sent to Zhao Akada for further repairs. In addition, 54 small ships sank or abandoned ships, which means that the Legion has lost 8 main ships at once, and there are only 4 main ships to be replenished. Including the Abyss Class, there are only 5 small ships, and only half of the losses are replenished.
Then there is the issue of troops rotation. Now the main forces of Faith Watch are deployed in the Benson Galaxy and the Cassatas Galaxy. This is already the central location of the Cathedral, which is quite close to the Cardinal World and will be a very important defense line in the future. Now the Cathedral basically provides a source of troops for Faith Watch at the training speed of a group of new recruits in 14 weeks.
Although the previous series of fierce battles caused serious losses to the faith watch, the total number of people with eight million people had more than one million soldiers killed and disabled, which was an exaggerated number, a large number of experienced and brave veterans and officers were trained, and the recovery speed of faith watch was very fast with them as the backbone.
