While the battle in Cadia was in full swing, the human empire was also not idle.
Because they are supporting two large-scale battles at the same time, almost all worlds within the Human Empire are operating at full capacity to produce materials needed for the war.
Astronomical amounts of supplies are being continuously transported to Cadia and the Ultramarine Star Territory through Rogue Traders, merchant fleets and Imperial Navy ships for use by the army in combat.
The imperial state religion has also been mobilized. In addition to the believers who can form a skitarii and go to the battlefield to directly participate in the battle, there are also a large number of believers who are doing everything possible to support the empire's war effort.
The priests went down to the streets of every hive city and began high-intensity preaching according to the orders they received. They even held grand masses under the orders of the planetary governor.
Some fanatical believers armed themselves and went to the bottom of the hives that used to be dark and dirty, taking the initiative to clean up the pollution and sin there.
With the efforts of these state religion believers, many "small problems" that were originally hidden in the darkness in the human empire were cleared up, and the preaching of the state religion priests also greatly suppressed the failure of the black stone obelisk matrix in Cadia.
Here, the cult forces within the empire were spawned by subspace energy waves.
As for those security issues and crime issues, such things really didn't matter in the past.
After all, the territory of the human empire is too vast. The names of millions of imperial worlds are enough to write a huge bullet-proof book. Even if the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs has hundreds of millions of clerical workers, it is difficult to manage such a huge volume.
territory and territory.
Therefore, since the time of the Emperor's Great Crusade, the Human Empire has handed over the management of planets to the Planetary Governors. As long as they do not violate the laws of the Empire, and even if they violate the laws of the Empire, as long as the tithes are paid in time, how can the Planetary Governors manage the planets under their rule?
The Ministry of the Interior of the World Empire does not comment too much.
This is also the reason why there are some planetary governors who are as stupid as pigs in their governance and are still able to secure their position as planetary governors instead of being dragged into heresy trials by the Inquisition.
But this time, following the astrological command issued from Holy Terra, the entire Imperial State Church was mobilized.
This huge religion that has penetrated into every inch of the human empire started to move and began to mobilize all the power it had to execute the orders from the Golden Throne.
Do everything possible to spread and consolidate faith in the Emperor, erect statues of the Emperor in every hive that meet the standards and requirements, and then hold grand masses and worship ceremonies to dedicate the most devout faith of every Imperial citizen to the Emperor.
.
If such an order were given in other countries or the world, it would undoubtedly be very nonsense.
All the resources of the entire country were invested in the war. The country was facing two wars that could destroy the entire country. As a result, huge manpower and material resources were used to build statues of gods and religious beliefs. This was not the case in any other country or
To the whole world, this is a complete act of national subjugation.
Even in a world where gods exist, such behavior is undesirable.
But for the Warhammer World and the Human Empire, doing so at this time is precisely an effective way to stabilize the various turmoils caused by the two huge wars in the empire.
And the effect is excellent, it can even be called efficient and convenient.
After all, in this shithole called Warhammer World, if you believe in the Emperor, you can really save your life when facing Chaos gadgets.
During the Great Crusade, a living saint with a very pious faith once stuffed the Chaos Demon back into his toilet by simply reciting the Emperor's Mantra. The effectiveness of the Emperor's faith is evident.
For ordinary people of the human empire, faith may not be that useful, but when things start to stir up trouble in the next nest, you'd better have some faith in the Emperor, because as long as those heretics don't worship the God Emperor with four arms,
Other messy cults can only do limited damage to you in the face of your firm belief in the Emperor.
Of course, it is another matter to be infected with the plague of Nurgle, to be used by followers of Slaanesh to play with the dark arts, or to be decapitated and sacrificed on a skull pedestal.
However, your devout faith in the Emperor does help to resist the threat from Chaos. Even if you are infected with the Nurgle Plague, you can resist it for a longer period of time than others. At least you can have enough strength to escape instead of waiting to be killed by four
Thieves join the army as grass cutters.
Usually when facing the threat of Chaos, the Human Empire also relies on its loyal belief in the Emperor to fight against evil.
But there has never been an astrological command issued from Holy Terra, causing all worlds in the empire to start high-intensity preaching and mass.
In particular, it is very difficult to understand that it requires very harsh and strict standards to build the emperor's statue.
Fortunately, the only ones who didn't understand were the fat-minded planetary governors and imperial nobles. On the contrary, the state church was ecstatic about this. Those fanatical state church priests couldn't wait to pick up the hammer and chisel to build the statue of the emperor themselves, let alone just guarantee this.
The smooth conduct of a Sunnah.
Therefore, statues of the emperor began to be erected wherever state religion beliefs were spread and star language broadcasts could be received.
Holy Terra attaches great importance to this matter as never before, and two legions, the Imperial Fists and the Iron Hands, were sent to take charge of this matter.
Not only are they required to supervise the planetary governors of each imperial world to complete the construction of the Emperor's statue on the planet's surface according to quality and quantity, these two legions, who are quite talented in construction, are also ordered to work on a sector-by-sector basis at the location of the sector capital.
Build a larger statue of the emperor and a matching church.
This strange order naturally aroused strong confusion from the Imperial Fists and Iron Hands. These two legions, which have not yet welcomed back their own Primarchs, themselves feel out of place due to the return of the Primarchs of other major legions.
There is even a vague feeling of being excluded.
Now that the other legions are going to the front lines to fight for the Emperor and humanity, they are sent to repair the statue of the Emperor. This more or less makes the Space Marines of these two legions have thoughts.
However, in response to all this, Holy Terra simply sent out the Custodes to show the two legions that this was an order from the Emperor himself.
No one in the entire human empire dared to falsely convey the Emperor's orders. The last time they did this, all the weeds have grown into grasslands.
In particular, the order was conveyed by the guards of the palace, the Imperial Guards closest to the emperor, which further added to the credibility of the order.
Therefore, no matter how dissatisfied they were, the two legions were dispersed in company units to every sector in the Human Empire in accordance with the Emperor's order and began to supervise the construction of the Emperor's statue.
At this time, the first statue of the Emperor has been completed on Holy Terra.
In fact, in the human empire, although there are not many statues of emperors, they are not common.
As the real "god" with absolute status in the human empire, there is absolutely no doubt about the Empire's state religion's belief in the emperor.
These pious and fanatical people want to build statues of the emperor everywhere in the empire, but due to certain factors, they usually can only build statues in missions.
And in most cases, it is difficult to see a statue of the emperor even in state churches.
Investigating the reason, the most fundamental and direct reason is that everyone does not know what the emperor looks like.
Because in many records of the empire, it is clearly stated that the emperor is shrouded in golden light, and mortals who look directly at the emperor will be burned blind.
Even if you can see the Emperor clearly with the naked eye, the spiritual energy shrouded in him will make what you see become what you want to see in your heart.
To give the simplest example, a devout believer will see the emperor as the most perfect god in his imagination, while a loyal warrior will see a commander who has experienced hundreds of battles. As for the priests of the Mechanicus,
What arrived was the incarnation of the God of All Machines...
Therefore, what kind of image should be used to carve a statue of the emperor has become a problem that has troubled the imperial state religion for many years.
This has also led to the fact that there is no generally recognized and unified standard and understanding of the emperor's statues within the empire, and most of the currently known descriptions of the emperor's image come from records that cannot accurately describe the emperor's image.
So much so that in the past, the Imperial State Religion could only stipulate the most common image of the Emperor in a certain sense based on some records as the image of the Emperor officially recognized by the Imperial State Religion.
Most of the time, this image is a warrior wearing golden armor and holding a sword, which symbolizes the history of the Emperor when he led the people of the Empire to launch the Great Crusade during the Great Crusade.
Because this image is deeply rooted in people's hearts, Chen Mo chose this shape when he asked the emperor to build the statue.
In order to describe the image of the emperor more accurately, Chen Mo also helped the emperor to use his incredibly powerful spiritual power to enlighten the statue carvers that the emperor could currently influence, so that they could follow the instructions.
This image was used to build a statue of the Emperor.
In addition, regarding how to build the statue so that it can play its correct role, Chen Mo did not hesitate to come up with the relevant construction specifications. This made the human empire the first emperor in the true sense.
The statue of the Emperor was completed.
And with the official completion of this statue, and the emperor instilling a ray of will into this statue, Chen Mo can clearly see the strong faith that fills every inch of land and bricks on Holy Terra.
The power quickly filled the statue like a tsunami, causing it to bloom with bright golden light.
"The Emperor has appeared!" The state priest who presided over the inauguration ceremony of the statue was suddenly filled with tears of excitement. While shouting loudly, he also knelt down devoutly on the ground and offered his most devout faith to the statue of the Emperor.
Looking at all this and taking in all the pictures, Chen Mo nodded slightly and said to the emperor who still appeared as a shadow next to him: "Everything is going well. Let's see if other statues can be successfully completed.
Already."
"I will keep an eye on this matter." The emperor nodded to show his solemnity.
