Chapter 141 End Yan Era: City of Faith

Tara Standard Year: M31.810 Obscure Sector Perfect Star

The battleship is suspended outside the huge star body, the glorious Imperial Navy battleship is suspended in the low-earth orbit of the planet, and the shining legion logo is shining brightly under the sun and the halo of the planet itself.

The cruiser of the Shadow Moon Wolf Corps opened its hatch, and a silver long ship slid out of the hangar deck. The hull was as smooth as a drop of water, reflecting the light of the planet itself.

Its driver sat in the advanced cockpit. Vito turned on the navigation device, and a series of holographic instruments appeared in front of him. It was a complex and dense map of the planet's gravity and surface. Vito expertly determined the landing Dot, all done under a halo of off-white light.

Aquila began to move with the forward push of the joystick, and the streamlined shuttle drove towards the planet. The long flame sprayed by the propulsion engine pulled out a long tail under the gravity of the low-earth orbit.

The shuttle entered the atmosphere, and the flames climbed upwards from around the silver fuselage. Vito drove the Aquila steadily, like a high-speed meteor passing through the atmosphere, like milky clouds flung like boiling milk. Behind him, the Aquila flew out of the atmosphere.

The fluid spaceship flew towards the city from a high altitude, Vito turned off the main thruster, and the acceleration power also decreased along with the operating instruments. He looked at the city in front of him after making sure that all preparations for landing were completed.

The Aquila flew into this magnificent city from the disk above. This is a huge city extending tens of hundreds of kilometers on the mainland. Countless magnificent temples and towering church steeples can be seen everywhere here.

Countless temples, countless chapels, the glass of thousands of churches and temples reflects sunlight, and the roof of each building is decorated with countless sacred things.

Vito looked at the buildings passing by both sides of the shuttle, he took a deep breath and sighed in a low voice, the Imperial Marshal operated the shuttle to reach his destination.

It was a temple located in the center of the magnificent city. The shuttle circled and landed slowly, and finally landed on the extended apron.

A Word Bearer wearing scarlet armor stood there, as if he had been waiting for a long time. The downdraft sprayed by the Aquila hit his head covered in scriptures. He looked at the landing shuttle, looked at That Vito coming down from the deck.

"Welcome to the City of Perfection, Marshal Constantine." The kind giant said politely, and Vito smiled when he saw him. He walked directly past the giant, and the giant followed Vito naturally. around.

"This is the first time you have come to our City of Faith, Marshal." He said in a magnetic and amiable voice, and Vito looked at the towering buildings around him and smiled wryly, "Yes, Erebus, True, but I'm not going to be happy to see that."

The chief priest of the legion, Erebus nodded slightly, his hands were like a devout believer, like a monk, "Master Lorgar is waiting for you, Marshal, he has been waiting for a long time."

"Then let's not make him wait too long, let's go and lead the way." "This way please."

Vito followed Erebus into the magnificent temple. Everything here is golden and unique. The most perfect statues, patterns and decorative arts in the galaxy are concentrated here.

Believers here recite the holy words, kneel down before the statues of emperors that are forbidden by the empire, praise and recite scriptures, everything here can only be described in one word, and it exists repeatedly in human civilization, and Gone is the one word to describe it.

religion.

Vito walked in the towering hall of the temple, the huge dome propped up a sky and the earth high above, and exquisite murals were drawn on the zenith.

Its builder ingeniously built countless large glass on the roof, with a number of refracting mirrors and golden statues, allowing sunlight to directly enter the temple, and illuminate the entire huge space after countless refractions.

Vito looked at the believers around him. They were wearing robes, men and women, old and young. They followed a Word Bearer priest and recited scriptures along with his footsteps.

The beautiful and melodious hymn echoed endlessly in the form of High Gothic, and the recitation was like the smoke of the incense burner here.

With the huge circular hall as the boundary, the believers walked and recited around the edge of the temple. They were like a group of pilgrims, praising the "God Emperor" in front of the sacred statues

"The Emperor of God." Vito said subconsciously, but his words were not piety, but doubts and worries, and Erebus immediately noticed this.

The chief pastor nodded to the legion brothers on the side, and then looked at Vito, "You feel uneasy, Marshal, does my belief make you feel uncomfortable?"

"I don't know, Erebus, I don't want to deny Lorgar's career, in fact his work is very useful, but the current empire respects the imperial truth, and the imperial truth clearly states"

"There are no gods and demons in this galaxy. We all know what the Emperor said, but Marshal, are you willing to believe that there is a certain power in this galaxy, a power that transcends entities and human understanding? "

Vito looked at Erebus with some kind of vigilance in his eyes, and the head priest still responded with a friendly smile, "I think we all have our own answers to this galaxy, and my Primarch believes in the empire's Divinity, I believe that he can fight against those spirits and demons that people don't want to believe in, so as to protect human beings."

"We are committed to letting more people understand this, understand the greatness of the Emperor and his cause, and let more people spontaneously support the Empire and the Emperor, so that we can embark on the road to salvation."

Erebus is like a seasoned preacher, his speech ability is definitely not inferior to Hindman, Vito still remembers Erebus, who used a speech to persuade the whole world to surrender to the empire peacefully, without any Bloodshed, and a whole world is attached to faith and devotion.

Erebus smiled at the silent Vito, and he slightly raised his hand to signal, "Come with me, Marshal, Lord Primarch is waiting for you."

Vito watched Erebus walk towards the arcade of the temple, he looked again at the majestic statue of the emperor beside him, and he frowned at that thing.

A ironic, unsettling feeling came over him, Vito didn't know what it meant, but he decided to ignore it, and he followed Erebus, following him through the corridor.

They passed through the magnificent cathedral, the gorgeous art exhibition hall and the chapel filled with believers' songs, walked through the side corridors, climbed the stairs, and finally came here.

Vito stood between the gates of a huge church, with a porch tens of meters high above his head, Vito looked at the towering porch, overlooking the magnificent dome of the entire church.

He dared to say that this is the most magnificent church he has seen in the tens of thousands of years he has lived. There is absolutely no one. The Word Bearers have spent a lot of energy for their beliefs. It is hard for him to imagine how many resources, wealth and energy have been consumed. it's here.

How many more resources, wealth and energy have been invested in the construction of the perfect city, and in this way, the unique city of faith in the galaxy has been completed.

Erebus stood at the door, he smiled and motioned forward, Vito lowered his head from the shock, he looked at the front of the church promenade, the largest and most sacred statue at the end of countless long rows of seats on both sides , is also the most perfect emperor statue.

And under the statue, under the shrine, the creator of all these miracles stands there, but even his tall body is completely incomparable with the miracle of faith here.

He was talking with a female priest, Vito watched him take a deep breath, then nodded politely to Erebus, the chief priest bowed slightly and turned back.

Vito walked into the church, he walked between the long church dome and the hall, countless stone pillars and giant statues stood around.

The giant in red armor turned his head and saw Vito. He nodded to him with a smile, and then said something to the priestess in front of him. She bowed and left in front of Lorgar.

Vito passed her by, and he looked at the blind woman, her eyes were wrapped with a holy silk cloth, and she walked in front of him in the same holy white dress.

Although she is blind, it does not hinder her perception. She seems to know Vito's location, and bows to greet him when she passes by him, and Vito salutes her politely.

She watched the woman leave, and watched her walk towards the huge door, "You are right, Lorgar, she is very beautiful."

"Her soul is more beautiful, my best friend." Lorgar stepped forward with a smile, and watched the blind lady leave with Vito. He raised his head slightly, and the pendant of the emperor's idol hanging on his finger also lifted up .

"Her piety and wisdom are amazing. Her understanding of faith has opened my eyes. She is the most perfect existence in this world and the purest embodiment of the God Emperor's faith."

Lorgar's words were full of praise, appreciation and admiration. Vito looked at the female priest who was going away and turned his head. He looked up at his friend beside him.

"Lorgar, I'm here to deliver a warning, I'm sorry, I." "Don't worry about it, my friend, there is no quarrel between you and me, just say it."

Vito sighed, but he spoke anyway, and he looked at Lorgar seriously, "Your cause of faith has seriously slowed down the progress of the Great Crusade, Lorgar, he gave you a whole legion, a whole arsenal and a fleet , not for you to preach and preach the faith."

"My friend, we are committed to recovering worlds with faith, love and peace, not death and destruction. Only in this way can human beings be redeemed."

Lorgar said and looked at the hanging banner. The huge banner fell to the ground, on which were painted the names of the Word Bearers who had recovered the world, and the names of their sects.

But it is obvious that the number is far less than the results of other legions, which is also the current problem.

"Lorgar, your progress is the slowest. In the past century, you only recovered three worlds. You spent too much time on preaching and debate."

Vito said, while Lorgar turned and walked aside, "I think, if peace, hope and prosperity are guaranteed, then our efforts are worthwhile."

"I don't like killing, Vito, I want people to believe spontaneously and understand our cause, not because of fear and awe, I don't want to use bombs and chainsaws to conquer a world just because they can't understand for a while Our great cause is to kill innocent people indiscriminately."

"I hope that people can understand each other. The Emperor has done this, and my hometown has been united by it. I hope to pass this belief on to more people, more worlds and compatriots."

Lorgar raised his head, looked at the majestic statue and said, Vito said something in a low voice and stepped forward, "You know he doesn't like being called a god, he told you he wasn't a god, I've known him for three years For ten thousand years, he is not a **** at all!"

"My friend, our emperor has performed countless miracles. He used spiritual power to fight against the chaos of the subspace, and illuminated the way forward with great brilliance, so that mankind was able to walk out of the chaos of the dark age. This is a miracle."

"Only because of him can mankind rise again, only because of him can we get rid of darkness and suffering, and only because of him can light and piety return to the world."

"I am not the founder of the belief. On the contrary, the belief already existed before I returned to him. I am just the narrator of the belief, telling more people about his divinity and greatness. I am not They will not be forced to convert, but the holiness of the Emperor will always make people believe in their hearts, this is divinity."

Lorgar spoke calmly. Indeed, he is very good at speech, and there is nothing wrong with his words. Vito can't even find a loophole to argue against him.

He sighed and rubbed his head angrily, "Lorgar, you can't slow down like this anymore, he is already very dissatisfied with you! Other Primarchs are always blowing, Guilliman just talked to Lu I've been looking for him with him, and only Sanguinius and I are still defending you!"

"I thank you from the bottom of my heart, my best brothers." Lorgar said with a smile like the warmest sunshine in winter, but Vito was still very annoyed.

He cursed under his breath, "Lorgar, my good brother, listen, that old **** wants to punish you! Punish you and your legion! I blocked this time for you, but I don't know what to do next time." Ok!"

"Guilliman and I have been arguing about this all afternoon! He is also there, I can see that he is shaken, and he wants to punish you, just because I use my reputation and prestige to suppress this time! He will still give me a little bit of shame, but he won't give it to you!"

"Thank you, my brother, thank you for guaranteeing me." Lorgar held Vito's shoulder and said, the two of them stood in front of the tall statue of the emperor, looking so small.

"Lorgar, for my sake, go conquer the next world! I've found it for you, go to Falkes, take it there, don't provoke him again! Prove yourself and your legion!"

Lorgar looked at Vito, his eyes were full of trust and gratitude, he squatted down so that Vito looked directly at him instead of looking up, he looked at Vito in front of him as a friend and brother.

"I really appreciate you, my friend, my best friend, I know you have done a lot for me, you are the person I believe in most of all, even more than Horus, I don't want to Prove yourself and be better than other brothers, but I will take over that world for your reputation and guarantee."

Lorgar smiled, his smile was so friendly, he didn't look like a primarch, but pressed Vito's shoulder like a true friend, "Thank you, my best brother."

"You're welcome, Lorgar." Vito also pressed Lorgar's shoulder, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

They were in that church, the two small ones stood in front of the emperor's statue, and the tall golden giant stared at the two people in front of him, staring at them with cold eyes.

There was no warmth in those eyes.
