Chapter 2933: Generous
“The Council of High Lords did not ignore it, but it took too long to transmit the astrological message, and subsequent discussions and decisions were as inefficient as ever, and were not mentioned until a long time later. was on the agenda, but the Lord Chamberlain and the Admiral were not interested in what happened here. Representatives of the Inquisition claimed that the Empire's attention should be focused more on the increasingly obvious signs of attack from the Eye of Terror, and that the defense should be used as much as possible. Power was invested in the Eye of Terror. Due to the previous action of the Eldar aliens breaking through the Cadian Gate, this was supported by most of the High Lords. They declared that the defense of the Cadian Gate must be strengthened immediately, and reserve forces must be Establish it immediately. Weapons, ammunition and supplies must be continuously transported to the front lines of the Cadian Gate and the warehouses behind the defense zone, so other areas may have to be temporarily put aside. Your Majesty believes that they are deliberately allowing the aliens to massacre innocent people. Believers, trying to weaken and attack the state religion, just as they most often did in the four thousand years after the Apostasy Rebellion ended."
Although the high lord was suspected of watching the show, he had to. Said that the Pope was actually a bit delusional about being killed. Soshyan even felt that the High Lords Council might indeed be more concerned about the Cadian Gate, but he did not expect that the action of Osartan Ark breaking out of the Eye of Terror would actually make the High Lords more concerned. The lord was alert and realized that the Cadian Gate's defenses were not as impregnable as they seemed, which was a bit of a blessing in disguise.
After all, even Soshyan was stunned by the lax defense of the Cadian Gate at the time. You must know that this is just an Eldar Ark that has no intention of launching an attack. If Abaddon had launched it instead , which is the Thirteenth Dark Crusade that Khayon once said. The consequences are really unimaginable. At least Soshyan felt that based on the situation at the time, the Gate of Cadian would definitely be lost!
Now that the high lords have been awakened by the Eldar, and have begun to strengthen the defense of the Cadian Gate, Soshyan feels that it is worthwhile even if there is no support here.
"So. There are no reinforcements, right?"
"At least you don't have to expect too much force from the High Lords Council. They have wanted to weaken the Suffering Alliance for a long time. This is an opportunity. You also see To the poor Baka fleet, this is their only statement."
"I understand, now that we are here, we cannot sit back and watch the people of the Empire being slaughtered by aliens, Emperor. The paradise was trampled by aliens."
"Your bravery and selflessness are touching. On the day of victory, I will personally write a biography for you."
Soshiyang refused in his heart! , but I can only say it.
"You're welcome, but it seems that no Sisters of Battle have arrived this time?"
"The battles in various areas are fierce now, many sacred worlds have been invaded, and the manpower of each order has basically reached its limit. , Although His Majesty has been trying to add more sisters, he has always been obstructed by various forces. They do not want to see any chance of the state religion showing its power."
"I can understand it."< br>
First he had some empathy with the other party, and then Soshiyang changed the subject.
“Can you tell us about the organization of the Silent Fleet?”
"The Silent Fleet is divided into seven brotherhoods. Each Emperor-class ship represents a brotherhood. The specific organization is not much different from the Imperial Navy. The brotherhoods can be understood as squadrons. You can command them with confidence. They will be in the flames of war. She shed her last drop of blood for the throne.”
Ebanks was very wise and immediately said what Soshyan wanted to hear most. No wonder he could become a confidant of the old-fashioned Pope.
"Very good, then inform the fleet to come directly to the Cardinal World, and about supplies"
"We also brought 273 transport ships of various types this time, and there are many direct The equipment and supplies ordered from Mars and other forging worlds, as well as a large amount of food, medicine, etc., are all arranged by you.”
It must be said that the national religion is really rich, and water flows with just a raise of your hand. Ordinary money, food and weapons, this kind of generosity diluted Soshyan's dislike of the pope by three points. After all, a generous friend can still be tolerated even if he has various shortcomings. “It’s so timely.”
“In addition, we have also brought many excellent preachers, who can inspire the believers’ enthusiasm for jihad to the greatest extent and reduce the possibility of them developing heresy.”
< br>"This is also very needed. Many worlds have experienced harassment by gene stealers, and their beliefs have generally been shaken."
"Speaking of this, Chapter Commander Soshiyan, I heard that you are A new armed force in the archdiocese? "
Ebanks must have met Ignatius II. Soshyan knew that there were some things that there was no need to hide, so he admitted openly. ：
"Yes, because the Suffering Alliance is an Alliance of Astartes and does not have much military strength. To fight against such a large number of enemies, we must have enough soldiers. I also made this based on the experience of the Maelstrom Expedition. We made this decision to use local manpower to build a force capable of fighting aliens."
"Well, I agree with this. The reason why the archdiocese suffered such huge losses is because it did not protect itself. Power, if it hadn't been for the arrival of the Suffering Alliance, other forces in the empire would have just watched indifferently as the Holy Light of the God Emperor disappeared into the dark void."
But then, Ebanks's voice suddenly dropped. Some.
“But if this matter is reported to Terra, it may cause a storm, and someone will use this to make a fuss about violating the taming order.”
Soshiyang looked at the other party. , I didn’t realize what it meant at first, but then I thought of it.
"Both you and the Pope, please rest assured that this is just a self-defense militia, established under the leadership of the Suffering Alliance. All equipment and training are under the responsibility of the Suffering Alliance, and are only used to protect the local area. They will be disbanded once the war is over."
Obviously, the pope has guessed that Soshyan will establish local armed forces here. He has no objection to this, but he is worried that someone within the high lord will make a fuss about it, so the best choice is Soshyan took the matter upon himself, so that it would not be considered a violation of the taming edict. After all, the Astartes also had the power to enforce the imperial laws of war, including the formation of emergency militia.
In fact, this is also in line with Soshiyang's original intention. If the state religion wants to firmly grasp the military power of the local army, it will create a problem for him. Now the other party takes the initiative to ask for a break from the relationship, which is exactly what he wants, or in other words, both parties have no intention. And together.
"With your words, Your Majesty can rest assured that the Church of the Church will provide all support for the jihad. What is the status of the formation of those troops now?"
"Emergency training is underway, but There is still a lack of some necessary equipment, and the number of officers and instructors is not enough. After all, the number of Faith Watch that needs to be formed is too large. I estimate that at least 300 million soldiers will be needed to cope with this war."
"If you don't mind, maybe I have some reference points here."
