No one knows exactly how Felix the Incarnate soothed the differences between the Gray Knights, Sisters of Silence and the Ecclesiarchy over the treatment of girls.
But what is certain is that when the spacecraft jumped out of subspace, the two sides finally did not fight.
Don't think this is an exaggeration.
Although the Imperium of Man looks like a militaristic dictatorship with highly centralized power on the surface, it is actually fragmented internally.
Ecclesiarchy, Adeptus Custodes, Inquisition, Council of the High Lords of Terra, Adeptus Mechanicus, Ministry of the Interior, Ministry of Justice, Imperial Defense Force, Imperial Navy, various Adeptus Astartes, Planetary Governors and Sector Governors, Assassin Court, Star
Ju Ting, Xing Yu Ting, Rogue Trader, etc., almost every department has its own ideas.
Infinite subdivisions can even be made within the above departments, creating hundreds or even thousands of factions.
And these departments and factions also have completely different attitudes towards one thing.
Although they all claimed that they were loyal to the empire and the great God-Emperor, they were not merciless at all when attacking their own people.
Especially when the current regent, Robert Guilliman, wanted to re-implement the Imperial Truth, some fanatical Chapter Chaplains even wanted to assassinate him, and the High Lords tried to force him to kneel down through the power in his hands.
Surrender to yourself.
If the original body of the Emperor's son was treated like this, it would be much less true for others.
To this day, many people within the Empire still harbor strong hostility towards Robert Guilliman.
Because before the Emperor of the 30th Millennium sat on the Golden Throne, the Council of High Lords he personally formed excluded all the original bodies.
So these guys believed that allowing the Primarch to participate in politics or even become the helm of the Empire was against the Emperor's will.
In short, compared with the complex power, political structure and numerous factions within the empire, the three South Asian brothers can be regarded as united and unified.
Fortunately, as the spaceship returned to the flagship of the expedition fleet, the Macragge's Glory, Hero Felix could finally let go of his worries.
After all, this is where the original body is located, and there are also a large number of Astartes from the Ultramarines sub-regiment, as well as the Imperial Guard brought from the Palace of Terra. Neither the people of the State Church nor the Gray Knights dare to cause trouble easily.
What's more, even if a fight does break out, the golden combination of the Forbidden Army and the Sisters of Silence can suppress the conflict within a few minutes.
You must know that the physical fitness and combat effectiveness of the Imperial Guards are much stronger than those of ordinary Astartes.
What's more, for thousands of years, they have stayed in the palace of Terra to guard the emperor and never left. Many of them are veterans who have served for tens of thousands of years and participated in the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy.
In comparison, it is very rare for Astartes Chapters to serve for more than one or two thousand years.
There is also a huge gap between the two in terms of combat experience.
Although it may not be as exaggerated as the original body, it is still no problem for an elite Praetorian Guard to deal with several Astartes at the same time.
So after handing over the girl who was suspected of being a living saint to the guards and Sisters of Silence, Yingjie Felix immediately found his genetic father and reported everything he saw with his own eyes from beginning to end.
"Do you believe that this girl is a true living saint like Celestine?"
Robert Guilliman asked in an uncertain tone after listening to the report.
"Sorry, I don't know. But it doesn't matter anymore, because the state church believes that she is who she is. And her arrival has boosted the morale of the entire expeditionary force, and they firmly believe that we will win the war with the blessing of the God Emperor.
"
Felix bluntly stated his truest thoughts.
As one of the Four Heroes of Ultramar, he is obviously not a reckless man who only knows about fighting and killing. Instead, he has very high political literacy and understands the huge impact that a living saint can bring during the plague war.
benefit.
This played a very positive role in reshaping the hope in people's hearts and allowing the empire to get out of the dark period that lasted for ten thousand years.
The most important thing is that the girl seems to be able to control her terrifying psychic powers, and is not in a state of control after awakening her talent like other psychics.
For today's human empire, "controllability" is the most important thing.
A bitter smile appeared on Robert Guilliman's face, and he sighed in a low voice: "Yes, you are right.
From the moment the state religion recognized it, it no longer mattered who the girl was.
She has become a symbol of victory and an intangible political asset, just like the state religion today.
In this dark age, mortals need faith to bring a little light to their depressed lives.
Maybe South is right.
Regardless of the imperial truth or the state religion, in the final analysis they are nothing more than tools to maintain governance.
The reason why the empire chose the latter over the former from the 30th year to the 40th millennium was actually the inevitable result of the deteriorating security environment.
Because religion is the lowest-cost way to maintain the territory of a huge empire.
Not only does it not require a large amount of resources to be invested in the education system like Imperial Truth, but it can also increase taxes to a certain extent and reduce people's resistance.
But making people more ignorant is not a long-term solution.
Maybe when the situation improves, we can make the people more rational through popularizing education and raising awareness, and then they will naturally slowly abandon religion and embrace the imperial truth."
"Sos? Have you kept in touch with him?"
Felix showed a very surprised expression.
Robert Guilliman nodded slightly: "Yes, we have always kept in touch.
Like my emperor father, he possesses very powerful psychic powers.
You can even use the power of subspace across the entire galaxy to make your consciousness and projection appear anywhere.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! We have discussed many difficulties and problems faced by the empire.
And he gave me a lot of inspiration from another perspective.
To some extent, Soth has many similarities with the Emperor.
For example, they all advocate extreme authoritarianism and believe that a strong central government and efficient military and administrative capabilities are necessary to maintain political power.
Another example is that they don’t care about other people’s opinions and always believe that the path they choose is the right one.
If there hadn't been too much resistance within the empire, I would have invited him to Terra to meet the emperor on the throne.
Maybe he can find a way to get my father back on his feet again."
"What exactly is this unknown being who calls himself Soth? Why did the God-Emperor allow him to establish a second human regime besides the Empire?"
After a long silence, Felix asked the question he was most concerned about.
"I only know that he is an outsider, that's all. And he has many unknown and shocking plans with my emperor father."
Robert Guilliman narrowed his eyes and gave a very vague answer.
Because you don’t know exactly what the incarnation of Shuoyou is.
According to the initial observations and speculations of Belisarius Caul, the great sage of the Mechanicum, it was once thought that Zuo Si might be a Star God or a fragment of a Star God.
The reason is that shimmering oil can change the rules of matter and physics to a great extent, which is a power that only the Star God has.
But later this guess was overturned.
The reason is that they suddenly discovered that the incarnation of Shuoyou can actually absorb huge spiritual energy directly from the subspace like the human emperor, and then form a variety of incredible spells.
This is obviously something that the living god Star God cannot do.
Therefore, the empire now has no idea of ​​Zuo Si's identity. Even the title "outsider" was learned from the mouth of the Living Saint Celestine.
Some people speculate that Zuo Si may come from a wider universe beyond the Milky Way, just like the Tyranids;
Others think this refers to his identity and position.
But no matter what, its powerful power is obvious to all.
For more than a hundred years, any enemy that launched an attack within its territory was dealt with mercilessly and severely, and even dangerous psykers did not have to worry about attracting the attention of the warp.
demon.
"I see..." Felix nodded thoughtfully. "What to do with that girl? Just place her on the Macragge's Glory like this?"
"Just in case, I'd better confirm the identity of this living saint with my own eyes."
Having said that, the tall and strong body of the original body slowly stood up from his seat, and under the protection of the Imperial Army and several Astartes from the Ultramarines sub-regiment, he went to the cabin where the little Lolita was detained.
When he saw the slender, thin figure with obvious signs of malnutrition sitting quietly in the corner with his legs crossed, Robert Guilliman's pupils dilated very obviously.
Although the other party did not release any spiritual energy, the familiar aura made him feel nervous.
For of all the people the Primarch had ever encountered, only two had reached this level of psychic ability.
To be continued...
