Chapter 2931 The Generous Pope
Looking at the attendant nun who had been constantly scrutinizing herself from the beginning, Soshyan responded gently:
“Hello, Meiya Sisters. ”
The Sisters of the Sisters are one of the three major systems of the Established Sisters. They have a role similar to that of the diplomatic service. They also manage and maintain the families of certain imperial governors and imperial nobles, serve as advisors, and pass Their presence serves as a reminder of their loyalty to the Emperor, and the Order of the Seal is one of the six major orders of Sisters of the Acolyte, and the largest of the Acolytes, headquartered on Terra.
Ebanks then turned to the right.
"This is Sister Wayna Winter from the Order of Pure Water."
"Hello, respected Chapter Master Soshyan."
This old nun Although his voice is deeper due to age, it is still very soft, making people feel like a spring breeze. Soshiyang also nodded in response.
"Hello, Sister Wei Na, there have been many injured civilians and soldiers in the war, and your arrival is exactly what we need."
Let Soshiyan say so much In a word, it is because the Order of Pure Water is the largest order of medical nuns in the state church. For war, medical treatment is also a very important logistics part.
"We have long sworn to burn our lives for the eternal holy war for the throne."
"Yes."
Soshyan nodded, turned around and introduced Talos.
"This is one of my company commanders, named Charles, please sit down."
Everyone sat on chairs surrounding a huge round table, and a star chart then rose from the round table. .
"From the time when the Lamenters Chapter first encountered the Tyranid Hive Fleet in the Sondheim System, one year and seven months of standard Terran time have passed until we withdrew from the Winoshi System. The diocese has been swallowed up in six galaxies, and more than 37 inhabited worlds have been completely destroyed."
Soshyan introduced the current situation to the state church delegation in detail, and those few also listened very carefully, Questions are asked from time to time.
But it can be seen that Baldo Slister is very particular about the people he chooses. They don’t have the desperate mania of ordinary state religion believers. They look at problems from a practical point of view, and they don’t Make some wild and wild remarks.
“.The current situation is that the main force of the Torment Alliance is deployed in the Westeros system. The Genestealer rebellion behind the Archdiocese has been basically suppressed. At least it cannot pose a threat in the short term, and the Tyranid Hive Fleet Due to the impact, no further actions have been taken for the time being, but I must emphasize that what we currently understand and detect is not necessarily the full size of this Tyranid Hive Fleet. According to the inferences of the biological sages, this Kerr The final strength of the Boros Hive Fleet is likely to exceed that of the Behemoth Fleet during the First Tyranid War.”
After listening to Soshyan’s introduction, Ebanks put his hands together and held his chin. , his brows were furrowed, and everyone else, except Long, whose face could not be seen, also showed worried expressions.
After all, even if you don't understand military affairs, you can at least see the situation.
After a while, Ebanks said slowly:
“On behalf of His Holiness the Pope, I am here to thank Captain Soshyan and the Alliance of Sufferings for their support of St. Casper. The assistance and sacrifices made by the Archdiocese of London. Faith is the pillar of the empire. We cannot let the fallen aliens eat away at this pillar, otherwise the order will collapse. I have brought your Majesty’s Great Holy War Edict to all the Storm Star Territory. The state church world and devout believers will spare no effort to assist the Archdiocese of St. Casparon.”
This surprised Soshyan, but then he thought about it and realized that this matter was not very reliable. Spectrum. First of all, with such a long distance, you only know how long it takes to expect those slow-moving jihadists to arrive. Moreover, during the Maelstrom Expedition, Soshiyang saw the quality of the national religion’s jihadi army. It can only be said that it is similar to or even worse than these local militiamen. This is also the reason why he is unwilling to organize the Holy War Army randomly but wants to establish the Faith Watch and the Holy Armor Army.
"Manpower is actually not very scarce. Now we are short of ships, both transport ships and battleships, as well as heavy weapons, ammunition, and supplies. The continuous loss of several star systems has made the Archdiocese's supply problem serious. "
Soshyan said it tactfully, but Ebanks showed an understanding smile, nodded and said:
"This is not a problem, there are many pilgrim fleets in the Storm Star Territory, although There are no warships, but there are many civilian and semi-civilian ships. These will arrive in St. Casparon Archdiocese one after another. In addition, the Rogue Trader families associated with the state religion will also respond to the call of the Great Holy War and transport precious supplies and weapons here. "My Majesty, before leaving, told me to keep this place of faith at all costs, and at the same time completely obey your arrangements at the military level."
Hearing the next sentence, Soshiyang also smiled slightly.
“Speaking of it, what is the Pope going to do with that thing?”
"Locked in an absolutely safe and completely isolated space, guarded and executed by soulless jailers until she repented of all her crimes forever."
This time Baldo Slister was able to give up so generously. All the power of the State Religion in the war is directly related to the great gift Soshyan gave to the State Religion. This is also the reason why Soshiyang can boldly accept the power of the State Religion - politics is about exchange, and his gift is too heavy. , the Pope had to repay the same heavy gift.
"As for the problem of battleships"
Ebanks slowly opened his palm, and in his hand was a small memory.
".Here may be able to help you."
Taking the memory handed over by the other party, Soshiyang picked up the data pad handed over by Servo Skull. As the memory was connected, rows of numbers began to float, and Soshiyang's eyes gradually widened.
About two minutes later, he turned to look at Talos.
“Look.”
Taros took the data pad, and Soshyan turned to Ebanks.
“Where are they?”
"Itak III, a fringe world of the Archdiocese."
The reason why Soshyan was so shocked was because what the other party gave was a huge fleet containing one hundred and seventy warships. There are seven Emperor-class battleships!
In fact, before the end of the apostasy era, the State Church did have a very large jihad fleet. However, with Sebastian signing the taming edict, the State Church not only deprived all its male armed forces, but also all its armed fleets. After entering the command order of the Imperial Navy, the state religion was left with only a pilgrim fleet composed of civilian ships with basically no self-defense capabilities.
So when he saw such a fleet appearing, it was difficult not to be surprised by Soshyan, and the name given to this fleet by the State Church was the Silent Fleet.
Soshiyan then turned his attention to the man named Long, because he belonged to an organization called the Silent Knights.
"Deacon Ebanks, there are no outsiders here. I personally have a very good relationship with the state church. I will tell you some things directly. What is going on with this fleet?"
