Chapter 141 The Final Era: City of Faith

Terran Standard Year: M31.810 Obscura Perfect Star

——

The battleship is suspended outside the huge star. The glorious Imperial Navy battleship is suspended in the low-Earth orbit of the planet. The shining Legion logo is flashing under the sun and the halo of the planet itself.

The cruiser of the Luna Wolf Legion opened its hatch, and a silver long ship slid out of the parking deck. The hull was as smooth as a water drop, reflecting the light of the planet itself.

Its pilot sat in the advanced cockpit. Vito turned on the navigation device, and a series of holographic instruments appeared in front of him. It was a complex and dense map of the planet's gravity and surface. Vito skillfully determined the landing

Point, all the work was completed under the light white halo.

The Skyhawk began to move as the operating rod was pushed forward, and the streamlined shuttle headed towards the planet. The long flames sprayed by the propulsion engine pulled out a long tail under the gravity of the low-Earth orbit.

The shuttle entered the atmosphere, and fire burned upwards from around the silver fuselage. Vito drove the Skyhawk steadily, like a high-speed meteor through the atmosphere, like milky white clouds shaking off boiling milk.

Behind him, the Skyhawk flew out of the atmosphere.

The fluid-like spacecraft flew towards the city from high altitude. Vito turned off the main thruster, and the acceleration power also dropped along with the operating instruments. After making sure that all preparations for landing were completed, he looked at the city in front of him.

The Sky Eagle flew into this magnificent city from the sky above. It was a giant city that stretched for dozens or hundreds of kilometers on the mainland. Countless magnificent temples and towering church spiers could be seen everywhere here.

Countless temples, countless chapels, the windows of thousands of churches and temples reflect the sun, and the roof of every building is decorated with countless sacred objects.

Vito looked at the buildings passing by on both sides of the shuttle. He took a deep breath and sighed softly. The Imperial Marshal operated the shuttle and arrived at his destination.

It was a temple located in the center of the majestic city. The shuttle circled and landed slowly, finally landing on the extended apron.

A Word Bearer wearing vermilion armor stood there, seemingly waiting for a long time. The downdraft sprayed by the Skyhawk hit his head covered with scriptures. He looked at the landing shuttle, and looked at

That Vito coming down from the deck.

"Welcome to the perfect city, Marshal Constantine." The kind giant said politely. Vito looked at him and smiled. He walked directly past the giant, and the giant naturally followed Vito.

around.

"This is the first time you have come to our city of faith, Marshal." He said in a magnetic and kind voice. Vito looked at the tall buildings around him and smiled bitterly, "Yes, Erebus,

True, but I would not be happy to see this."

The chief chaplain of the legion, Erebus, nodded slightly, his hands clasped together like a devout believer, like a monk, "Lord Lorgar is waiting for you, Marshal, he has been waiting for a long time."

"Then let's not keep him waiting too long. Let's go and lead the way." "This way, please."

Vito followed Erebus into the magnificent temple. Everything here was glittering and unique. The most perfect statues, patterns and decorative arts in the galaxy were concentrated here.

Believers here recite the Holy Book of God, kneel and worship in front of a statue of the emperor that is expressly prohibited by the empire, praise and recite scriptures. Everything here can only be described in one word. It exists repeatedly in human civilization, and

One word to describe looks that hasn't gone away.

religion.

Vito walked in the towering temple hall. The huge dome held up a sky and earth at a high place, and exquisite murals were painted on the ceiling.

The builders ingeniously built countless large glasses on the roof, paired with a number of refracting mirrors and golden statues, allowing sunlight to shine directly into the temple and illuminate the entire huge space after countless refractions.

Vito looked at the believers around him. They were wearing robes, men and women, old and young. They followed a priest named the Word Bearers and recited scriptures in his footsteps.

Beautiful and melodious hymns echoed endlessly in the form of Gothic, and the sound of recitation filled the air like the smoke from the incense burner here.

Believers use the huge circular hall as the boundary, walking and reciting around the edge of the temple. They are like a group of pilgrims, praising the "God Emperor" in front of the sacred statues.

"God Emperor." Vito said subconsciously, but his words were not pious, but doubts and worries. Erebus noticed this immediately.

The chief chaplain nodded to the legionary brothers on the side, then looked at Vito, "You feel uneasy, Marshal, does my faith make you feel uncomfortable?"

"I don't know, Erebus, I don't want to deny Lorgar's career. In fact, his work is very useful, but the current empire respects the imperial truth, and the imperial truth clearly states"

"There are no gods or demons in this galaxy. We all know what the Emperor said, but Marshal, are you willing to believe that there is some kind of power in this galaxy, some kind of power that transcends entity and human understanding?

"

Vito looked at Erebus with a certain alertness in his eyes, and the chief priest still responded with a friendly smile, "I think we all have our own answers to this galaxy. My original body believes in the empire's

Divinity, I believe that he can protect mankind by fighting against the spirits and demons that people do not want to believe in."

"We are committed to letting more people understand this, understand the greatness of the Emperor and his cause, and let more people spontaneously support the Empire and the Emperor, so that we can embark on the road to redemption."

Erebus is like a seasoned preacher, and his speaking ability is definitely no longer inferior to that of Hindman. Vito still remembers Erebus, who used a speech to convince the entire world to surrender to the empire for peace, without any

There was bloodshed and an entire world surrendered due to faith and piety.

Erebus looked at the silent Vito and smiled. He slightly raised his hand and said, "Come with me, Marshal, the original body is waiting for you."

Vito watched Erebas walking towards the arcade of the temple. He looked at the towering statue of the Emperor beside him again, and he frowned as he looked at that thing.

An ironic and unsettling feeling came over him. Vito didn't know what it meant, but he decided to ignore it. He followed Erebus and followed him through the corridor.

They passed through the magnificent cathedral, the gorgeous art exhibition hall and the chapel full of believers' songs, walked through the side corridors, climbed the stairs, and finally arrived here.

Vito stood between the doors of a huge church, with a porch dozens of meters high above his head. Vito looked at the towering porch and the magnificent dome of the entire church.

He dared to say that this was the most magnificent church he had ever seen in the tens of thousands of years he had lived. It was absolutely one of the most magnificent churches. The Word Bearers spent a lot of energy on their beliefs. He could not imagine how much resources, wealth and energy were consumed.

it's here.

How many more resources, wealth and energy were invested in the construction of the perfect city, and in this way, this unique city of faith in the galaxy was completed.

Erebas stood at the door. He smiled and gestured forward. Vito lowered his head from the shock. He looked at the front of the church corridor, the largest and most sacred statue at the end of countless long rows of seats on both sides.

, and also the most perfect emperor statue.

And under that statue, under the shrine, the creator of all these miracles stood there, but even his tall body was completely incomparable to the miracles of faith here.

He was talking to a female priest. Vito watched him take a deep breath, and then nodded politely to Erebas to thank him. The chief priest bowed slightly and turned around to retreat.

Vito walked into the church. He walked between the long church dome and the hall, with countless stone pillars and giant statues standing around.

The giant in red armor turned his head and saw Vito. He smiled and nodded to him. Then he said something to the female priest in front of him. She bowed and left Lorgar.

Vito passed her by, and he looked at the blind woman with a piece of holy silk wrapped around her eyes and wearing the same holy white dress walking past him.

Although she was blind, this did not hinder her ability to perceive. She seemed to know Vito's location and bowed to greet him when she passed him. Vito also saluted her politely.

She watched the woman leave and watched her walk towards the huge door, "You are indeed right, Luojia, she is very beautiful."

"Her soul is even more beautiful, my best friend." Lorgar smiled and stepped forward, watching the blind lady leave with Vito. He raised his head slightly, and also raised the pendant of the Emperor's statue hanging on his finger.

.

"Her piety and wisdom are amazing. Her understanding of faith has broadened my horizons. She is the most perfect existence in the world and the purest embodiment of the God-Emperor's faith."

Lorgar's words were full of praise, appreciation and love. Vito watched the female priest go away and turned her head. He looked up at his friend beside him.

"Logar, I'm here to deliver a warning, I'm sorry, I." "Don't mind it, my friend, there is no grudge between you and me, just say it."

Vito sighed, but he still spoke. He looked at Lorgar seriously, "Your religious cause has seriously slowed down the progress of the Great Expedition. Lorgar, he gave you an entire legion, an entire arsenal and a fleet.

, I’m not asking you to preach and preach faith.”

"My friends, we are committed to regaining each world with faith, love and peace, instead of death and destruction. Only in this way can mankind be saved."

Lorgar said as he looked at the banner hanging on the side. The huge banner fell to the ground. On it were drawn the names of the Word Bearers who had taken over the world, and the names of the sects they belonged to.

But it is obvious that their number is far less than the results of other legions, which is also the current problem.

"Logar, your progress is the slowest. In the past century, you have only recovered three worlds. You have spent too much time on preaching and debating."

Vito said, and Lorgar turned and walked aside, "I think that if peace, hope and prosperity can be guaranteed, then our efforts will be valuable."

"I don't like killing, Vito. I want people to spontaneously believe in and understand our cause, not out of fear and awe. I don't want to conquer a world with bombs and chainsaws just because they can't understand it for the time being.

Our great cause is to kill innocent people indiscriminately."

"I hope that people can understand each other. The Emperor once did this, and my hometown was united because of this. I hope to pass this belief to more people, more of the world and my compatriots."

Luojia raised his head, looked at the magnificent statue and said, while Vito whispered something and walked forward, "You know he doesn't like to be called a god. He told you that he is not a god. I have known him for three years."

After ten thousand years, he is not a god at all!"

"My friend, our Emperor has performed countless miracles. He used the power of his spirit to fight against the chaos of the subspace, and illuminated the way forward with great brilliance. Through this, mankind was able to get out of the chaos of the Dark Ages.

This is a miracle."

"Only because of him, mankind has risen again. Only because of him can we escape darkness and suffering. Only because of him can light and piety return to the world."

"I am not the founder of faith. On the contrary, faith already existed before I returned to him. I am just the speaker of that faith, telling more people about his divinity and greatness. I do not

They will not be forced to convert, but the emperor's holiness will always make people believe from their hearts that this is divinity."

Lorgar calmly stated that indeed, he was a good speaker and there was nothing wrong with his words. Vito could not even find a loophole to defeat him.

He sighed and rubbed his head in annoyance, "Lorgar, you can't keep slowing down like this. He is already very dissatisfied with you! The other primarchs are always complaining. Guilliman just had an affair with Luo a while ago.

Sanguinius and I were the only ones still defending you!"

"I sincerely thank you, my best brothers." Lorgar said with a smile, that smile was like the warmest sunshine in winter, but Vito was still very annoyed.

He cursed in a low voice, "Logar, my good brother, listen, that old bastard wants to punish you! Punish you and your legion! I blocked it for you this time, but I don't know what to do next time.

Ok!"

"Guilliman and I have been arguing about this all afternoon! He is here too. I can see that he is shaken. He wants to punish you just because I used my reputation and prestige to suppress this time!
