Chapter 2934 MacBain’s Soldiers


Chapter 2934: Mark Bain's Personal Soldiers

"Reference opinion?"

Facing the somewhat confused Soshiyang, Ebanks mysteriously took out a personal data pad and opened it Then he handed it to Soshyan. Soshyan took it and looked at it. He immediately showed a surprised expression, but did not express an opinion immediately, but continued to read.

Ten minutes later, he read the entire content, then handed the data pad to Talos, and said to Ebanks:

"The mode of Macbaine's personal soldiers? Isn’t this the Astra Militarum?”

The other person smiled and shook his head.

“You misunderstood, it has always been the MacBane militia. It is only because these devout soldiers are more heroic and capable than the so-called Astra Militarum, who are mixed and have loose beliefs, that they have to perform tasks other than their own defense. The duty is to fight for the light of the throne throughout the galaxy and protect those devout believers and pilgrims.”

The so-called Macbane soldiers are from one of the Calixis sectors. Arid religious world, a force of Macbus-Quintas.

As a pilgrimage site for a large number of believers in the Calixis sector, this religious world has a strong military tradition. It is said that the legendary expedition general Drust was assassinated by an enemy assassin here, but he was still alive. Ten days and ten nights later, he revived with the light of the Emperor. In the following years, Drust did not know what failure was. One enemy after another was defeated by him. Finally, in the ashes of his conquest, the planet Calixis The District was born.

In the centuries after the expedition, Drust was also canonized as a saint by the state church. Due to his miraculous re-emergence and subsequent great victory, the once miraculous place was also changed to a religious world, and It is now Macbeth-Quintas, and then a large number of pilgrims gathered. These pilgrims also formed the core of the Macbein Militia, and the best among them formed the Macbein Guards.

"Oh? I am really ignorant about this. I always thought that the MacBain regiment was the Astra Militarum."

Soshyan nodded thoughtfully.

"Forming an informal armed force in the name of the Planetary Defense Force can indeed circumvent the taming order in principle."

Originally, he thought that the state church would not interfere in military matters, but he Still thinking simply, how could the state religion really ignore its own territory?

This is obviously an act of borrowing money to lay eggs. Under the banner of the Suffering Alliance, a military force similar to the Macbaine Guards is established in the archdiocese. This can avoid the criticism of other imperial institutions. It can also increase the armed strength of the state religion. The countless struggles of the High Lords Council over the past 10,000 years have proven one thing: the barrel of a gun is always the most effective bargaining chip in political games.

But does Soshyan need to say no?

Of course not, how could he refuse such a good thing delivered to his door?

The equipment of Macbane's personal soldiers is very good, belonging to the first-class standard of the Astra Militarum. To build a troop of such quality requires a huge amount of resources, and Soshyan himself cannot afford so much. , but since the state religion is willing to be taken advantage of, he naturally doesn't care.

Anyway, this power will be used by him in the end.

“I have long heard of the reputation of Macbaine’s soldiers as being good at fighting. However, if we want to follow their model to build a huge army, the equipment, logistics, training, etc. will be an astonishing sum of money. Overhead.”

Seeing that Soshyan had agreed to the plan, the smile on Ebanks's face became even more obvious. He originally thought that this matter would require a lot of talking, but he didn't expect that the other party would agree so readily. Then when he returned to Terra When he returned to life, these great achievements were enough to give him a chance to peek into the high position of the Cardinal Deacon.

“You don’t have to worry about this. The State Church will give sufficient support to the Suffering Alliance. We have already brought a batch of equipment, and more are assembled in Ophelia and will be transported here soon. In addition, we also brought 21 regiments of Macbaine soldiers. They are all veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles and have extremely firm and pious beliefs. They can solve training problems and become officers and officers in the new army. "Pillar."

Soshiyang is kind on the surface, but he is sneering in his heart, trying to control Faith Watch in this childish "sand-in" way. Although this deacon is a shrewd and smooth person, he still There is a lack of understanding of the military. As long as the supreme commander can firmly hold the command, this behavior is just a joke. No matter how pious those Macbain veterans are, he has countless ways to "convert" them. "This puts me at ease."

After that, the two sides talked about other things. It was not until 2 hours later that Ebanks took the people away to proceed with the next steps. A series of work done.

Immediately, only Soshyan and Talos were left in the hall.

“The people from the National Church of Terra are here. Will the Holy Flame Order you established be discovered?”

Hearing Talos’ question, Soshyan thought for a moment. Finally, he said very confidently:

"The Holy Flame Religion is still relatively secretive at present. I have already communicated with the Patriarch, using a small local religious sect as a cover. There are thousands of various sects of the state religion. , a small sect will not attract the attention of these people. Do you know what the patriarch complained to me? The deacon obviously looked down upon him and regarded him as a bumpkin in a remote area. , He spoke very rudely and gave him a lot of orders."

Taros grinned after hearing this.

"The people of Terra are generally like this. They are shrewd and arrogant. However, this has also successfully forced the rubber stamp patriarch to come to your side."

"Friend, what do you think? What could the Silent Knight be? "

"Hmm, I guess it's some kind of modified person. It's hard to say what kind of technology he uses. Maybe Vandire collected it from other places, or maybe he got it from someone in the Terra Palace. They were found in a dark corner, or something they worked together with the Foundry General at that time, but the National Religion hid this group of people so well that there was almost no news in the galaxy. It stands to reason that even if it cannot be used on a large scale, it can be used on a small scale. The large-scale use should not be too noticeable. After all, the senior officials of the state religion also have various elite bodyguards, so I guess it is a very shady thing, so that it is very dangerous to be a bodyguard."

"So this time. What's the purpose of sending these things? I don't think I'm so trustworthy."

"Is it possible?"

Talos made a thinking expression as he stretched out his finger and pointed at the star map.

"In fact, the Pope also doubts the ability of the so-called Silent Knights? Because they are too hidden, they have probably not experienced large-scale actual combat, even if it has been thousands of years, so why not just give it a try? "

"It sounds a bit hasty, but it is indeed possible, but what I am wondering is, does this group of people have another mission?"

"It is possible."

The two looked at each other and fell into silence. After a few minutes, Soshyan took the lead to break the silence.

"I can't think of anything right now. I'll arrange for someone to keep an eye on them to see what moves they will make. I may have to be busy with the rear for a while. I have to accept such a great gift from the state religion. You have to work harder on the front. "

"I just want to see what the so-called Tyranids are."
