Chapter 2841 Angels Arrive in the Sanctuary
Standard Terra Calendar 980.M41, Tempest Star Realm, St. Casparon Parish, Cardinal World St. Casparon
As a Cardinal World, Hustle It was originally considered a crime in Saint Casperon, but since the terrifying aliens began to invade the territory of the God Emperor, the air here has become anxious. However, the anxious atmosphere has not affected the environment here, and it still has such an atmosphere. The garden is a world-like forest garden, azure ocean, towering snow-capped mountains and vast grasslands.
“The planet is beautiful, but with such a weak defense, if it weren’t for being on the edge of the galaxy, a random group of Dark Eldar predators could turn it into a living hell.”
< br>In the cabin of the Storm Bird, Soshyan stared at the natural planet below that was almost unpolluted by industry. If it weren't for a series of bad news, he would have been in a good mood at this time.
But sadly, things are always so bad in the Empire.
What was worse was not only the external threats, but what made him even more angry were the various robbers and thieves within the human race.
At this time, Talos walked up to him.
"How can this place be better than hell? What are you going to do about that matter?"
"I'd like to trouble you to take a trip and deal with those people when we get to the ground. Go meet them in person and put things aside for the time being.”
As the Storm Bird gradually approached the ground, the majestic Holy City of the State Religion appeared in Soshyan's sight.
As the promised land appointed by the saint Casperon, this planet was originally named Kassela, and its history can be traced back to the chaotic era after the Apostasy Rebellion.
At that time, this area was on the edge of the Light of the Star Torch. Although many human colonies had been established very early, due to the chaos caused by the apostasy at the top of the empire, there was no time to pay attention to this area. It is an evil disaster of unbelief. Many Chaos sects have risen from cities and mountains. Even the rulers of some planets have announced their separation from the empire and established their own small kingdoms. However, the empire is too busy cleaning up the mess of the Sun Star Territory and has no time to deal with it. Those remote places.
At this moment, a mighty fleet arrived at Kassela, which was caught in a warlord melee, bringing unexpected peace to it - this was an expeditionary force of the state religion, composed of Its followers are the zealots and pilgrims of the state religion, who are driven into military fanaticism by the sermons and prophecies of Casperon, the "Eternal Pilgrim", a preacher in his late sixties who announces a war whose purpose is to save the darkness. Fighting for the faith of many souls in the border area, he claimed that the God-Emperor warned him in a prophecy that this place would become a terrible den of heresy, and in order to prevent this from happening, they must launch an expedition. This kind of thing sounds a bit unbelievable in the 41st millennium, because the state church has long been deprived of most of its ability to launch military operations. However, before the taming edict was promulgated, this kind of thing was actually very common, and a highly respected missionary could easily organize it. They have raised a jihadist army of hundreds of millions of people. Their goals are diverse, including aliens, heretics, or what they consider to be heretics. And the jihadi army they organized is not the temporary cannon fodder that was worse than the militia in 41,000 years ago. It is almost the same as the Astra Militarum. It not only has guns, cannons and tanks, but also a powerful fleet, and can even attract the participation of the Astartes.
But Casperon didn't know it at the time, but he was actually driving a "last train" because after he spent decades finally launching his dream holy war expedition, Terra issued a taming edict and ended the state religion. The road to mastering the armed forces, but fortunately at that time, the jihadist army had already arrived at the border of the empire and did not know what was happening in the core center.
Casparon is a person who has some records in the history of the state religion. He was born in the Maelstrom area, and later went to study in a famous seminary in the Storm Star Territory near the Sun Star Territory. After graduation, he also He did not return to his hometown but continued to serve as a missionary in the Storm Star Territory. It is said that he traveled to more than fifty worlds in his life, bringing a purer light of the God Emperor to many worlds that were still in the "barbaric" world at that time. As he grew older, he seemed to be unwilling to just preach. He began to preach his prophecies everywhere. Using his prestige and connections over the years, and after much lobbying, he organized a huge expedition fleet and plunged headlong into it. Entering the dark edge of the empire where the light of the Star Torch is the dimmest.
After arriving in Kassela, Casperon inspired the faith of the people here with incomparable fanaticism. At the same time, the powerful jihadist forces also swept away the dark forces on the planet and quickly eliminated the wave of apostasy.
Starting from this planet, a grand war of faith began. This arduous war lasted for nearly 40 years. When it ended, fully one-fifth of the population of the sector had been killed, and Countless others became slaves, cripples or servitors.
Even during this period, Casparen, who was revered as the "Father of Salvation", was assassinated by hostile forces and died in his meditation room. Of course, there are also rumors that the assassin came from certain forces at the top of the empire. , in order to weaken this state religion force with powerful armed forces, the jihadist army was later taken over by a disciple of Casperon, and won the final victory in this battle of faith.
After the victory, the taming edict from the Empire was conveyed, and Casperon's successors accepted the new Pope's request and disarmed them, but they also received in return a territory that was watered with the blood of the followers of the Ecclesiarchy. It became a large diocese, enjoying special religious exemptions. Administrative power belonged entirely to local priests. Many jihad survivors were also allowed to stay and settle here. Some were disarmed and returned to their fields, while others joined the local defense forces in an organized manner. Most of the officers were transformed into planetary nobles. In order to commemorate the "Eternal Pilgrim", the original Cassela was also renamed St. Casperon and became the capital of the archdiocese, that is, the Cardinal World.
The subsequent consolidation and reconstruction operations lasted for several centuries, and Saint Casparen was soon built into a beautiful world. There was no so-called hive here, only the Cathedral of the Holy War, and the five major A huge settlement area formed by a seminary and three major monasteries, as well as hundreds of small settlements. They are different from the imperial nests. The buildings are all masonry structures, dotted with natural landscapes such as lakes, rivers, and even forests. , the priests don't like noisy giant machines very much, so the planet's environment is still relatively "original", including the cities, which are also more classical.
The most charming and magnificent among them is the Holy War Cathedral and its entire area with a population of more than three million. The cathedral is built on the highest mountain on the planet, and it is also the first time in Casperen The place where he set foot on the planet was also the place where he prayed to the emperor for the first time after coming to this world. Therefore, it was regarded as the holy place of the archdiocese. A huge church group with a length of more than 30 kilometers was built. The center of the church group was a huge The group of shining spiers is the Holy War Cathedral. From there, a neat residential belt stretches out and is built all the way down the mountain. From the outside, it almost looks like a small hive, but the sky here is not polluted by fog. The haze is shrouded, and there is no roar of factories in the streets. Instead, there are the wonderful sounds of wind chimes carried by the wind, the small waterfalls flowing in the garden, and the friendly debates of the priests.
The architectural planning of the entire city was built under the guidance of the artistic ideas passed down by the state religion for thousands of years, emphasizing the integration of the soul and the environment. When a believer sets foot on this sacred land, will realize that it is as spectacular as any of the most bizarre fantasies that have befallen their dreams.
Every road here is paved with carefully carved bricks and stones, with symbols representing purity on them, huge arches connecting different blocks. If you look closely, you will find that the material is not wood or stone, or even precious metal. , but made of fine fabric.
