This is our Warhammer journey

Chapter 75: Do what you think is right! (3k)

Why not concentrate on fighting after completing the integration of large communities?
Why should we waste manpower and resources to gather those scattered people?
What can these people offer to a war?
One more mouth to feed?

The travelers fell silent.

They all carefully reviewed the strategy proposed by Romulus.

This strategy is very detailed and will not hinder the Inquisition's investigation into Chaos or occupy the power of the Mechanicus. Even the formation of the Crusade is a bargaining chip used to persuade the Ecclesiarchy.

The time travelers have tried their best to make those who are to be rescued realize their "value".

They are just a little 'greedy' and hope to rely on their unique power and the help of the state religion to try to save more people.

".grown ups?"

Except for the nuns of the Holy Rosary, no one could understand why these adults were stumped by such a question that could be easily ignored.

For an imperial world, it doesn’t matter how many people die during the war. What matters most is that the world still belongs to the empire after the war.

This is not malicious intent towards any particular group.

But it is the default.

The entire empire's top leadership acquiesces to the current state of humanity, and humanity itself acquiesces to the dark laws of the universe.

A chilling acquiescence.

The vast majority of the empire's high-ranking officials are not lacking in the determination to sacrifice. Their eyes are always focused on their colleagues and enemies, and they will not even look down at them.

"The Emperor needs anchors, and we must keep them alive."

Ramses suddenly said seriously that he was currently making continuous psychic calls to the Emperor in the Warp.

"This planet is filled with alien and heretical forces. We need a group of believers, the more the better."

The three of them immediately looked at Ramses.

They don't know much about this, they are just asking. If the state religion really cannot accept it, then so be it, they can take action on their own.

It's not necessary to force an excuse.

Romulus shook his head, feeling relieved, and then said:

"Our reconnaissance forces will continue their Chaos investigation duties alongside the Inquisitorial Guard. The forces composed of Cadia and Carcharhinus will proceed to seize control of the land-based void shields and air defense arrays."

"After quickly establishing a crusade operation model based on the state religion and using the followers as the foundation, our combat power will be quickly unleashed. The Black Templars will carry out the rescue mission alone, without having to worry about delaying the investigation into Chaos contamination and the Word Bearers."

"Now, I hope we can proceed as planned, Sister Arabella. The coordination with the Sanctuary of the Bloody Rose will be left to you."

After saying this, Romulus turned around first, and the U-shaped emblem embroidered on his shoulder cloak passed before the nun's eyes. The cobalt blue silk thread shone like flowing water in the sunlight.

you guys
At the end of the team, Aglaia, who had remained silent, didn't know what to say for a moment.

Everyone was thinking about how to tear through this chaotic defense line and accumulate strength to rush into the place they needed to reach, but the ancient warriors planned to continue to squeeze themselves under the high pressure after entering the upper nest, intending to save more people?
Crazy? Naive? Willful?
"why?"

The young judge held the pen and murmured softly.

No one answered, no one gave long speeches, and no one passionately expounded on the humanistic spirit or the importance of life.

They just move forward.

"We just want to tell you, tell them—"

After taking a few steps forward, one of the angels turned around.

He tapped his forehead with the tip of his index finger, pointed at the judge, and then pointed into the distance.

"Faced with this situation, what else can humans do except die?"

They knew clearly that they could not save everyone, just as life could not always be united and could not be truly equal.

But why should we fall into the filth around us when we are at the bottom of the valley?
Why can't things turn out for the better?

They will try to save as many people as possible because they have the chips to exchange for lives, so they are going to try.

Simply because their choices will not be distorted and their will will not be misinterpreted.

This fire of hope should not and will not be extinguished.

And what else is there to say?
Arthur sighed softly. It was useless to say nice words at this time. If deep-rooted ideas could be changed with just a few words, there wouldn't be so much stupidity and ignorance in the world.

Let’s get down to business first and publicize what needs to be done about Romulus.

Just like the Dawn, it is a long process after all, but when those children who are taken in together for intensive education grow up, it will eventually bring some good changes.

No, why did you guys rush out like that?

Ramses suddenly felt that it was necessary to let everyone understand what the subspace was and what faith represented in it.

How can saving lives be meaningless?
They could provide food and water, and the state religion could offer the fanatical faith through which the Emperor could manifest his divine power.

"Faith is like high ground. If you don't occupy it, heretics will. The fewer humans who believe in the Emperor, the less power he can project on this planet. And vice versa. This planet is already in danger. Every bit of power is something we should fight for."

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Ramses explained in detail and then emphasized.

"They are worth saving."

He somewhat hated that he did not have Arthur's eloquence and could not communicate with the Imperials like Arthur did. However, the other three people present did not have a deep understanding of the power of faith. It was more because of their past education that they regarded the state religion as an inflammatory organization.

After hearing Ramses' words, the three time travelers felt even more sad.

It's sad that saving people actually requires considering their 'value'.

But that's the underlying logic of this damn universe.

".Why."

Ramses wanted to say something, but when he saw the situation in the subspace, he showed a surprised expression.

This time the emperor is finally willing to be a human being.

The Sister-in-Chief was the first to hear something crack, a sound like someone tapping on glass from across the galaxy. The neural interfaces lining her armor suddenly burned, and her retinal projections began to flicker with the afterimage of the Emperor's symbol.

The pure gold eagle emblem on the top of the shrine was melting, and the scriptures on the surface of the obsidian shrine were oozing a light golden liquid. The droplets dripped along the wings of the suffering angel and landed precisely on the paper document in her hand.

Then, the golden droplets spread out, engraving the golden words and adding the questions and answers between Romulus and the bishop.

But she did not respond to the head nun's question.

His attitude is self-evident.

"This is."

The head nun's hands began to tremble, and the dean beside her also looked at her fanatically.

This is a blessing.

Blessing is a power that only gods possess.

Only a saint can trigger the miracles of the Divine Emperor.

The words of the sage are the words of the emperor.

"We will obey the orders of the saints!"

The head nun and the priest knelt on one knee and saluted the four people covered in golden light.

No one had any doubts.

".I believe the Emperor is still human."

The elements are almost all gathered, Romulus said to his companions.

At present, it is almost impossible for humans to get rid of state religion.

Because the gods really can show their power.

However, tools are tools after all, and their function depends entirely on the person holding the tool. For now, the emperor sitting in this position is probably the best outcome for mankind.

"Then keep the original plan unchanged. Just let me know your material needs."

He then ordered, his voice filled with rising enthusiasm.

The Emperor's timely appearance undoubtedly proved to the people of this world that their decision was correct, and gave them the confidence to lead these believers to make changes.

Arthur and Karna looked at each other and prepared to capture the military nodes around the Blood Rose Shrine first.

Ramses found a secluded place. He planned to take advantage of the movement in the subspace to catch more elves to work.

None of them intended to change the path they had chosen, but at the same moment they showed unprecedented enthusiasm.

The passion to put your chips on the line and make something better.

Why.
Hey, this guy.
This guy, once he has chips in his hand, can't help but want more.

Once a person becomes young, he or she tends to be ignorant of the immensity of the world.

"."

In the subspace, the cold sun retracted its light and began to accumulate strength.

He appeared because He could not let these four people give up on humanity, so He could only use their weak hopes to bind them.

He wants mankind to get more.

"Hehehe"

In the distant Solar Star Region, on a planet called Terra, a corpse on a throne let out a low laugh.

God didn't react in time and was swept up in it himself.

go Go.

Do what you think is right!

"Arabella, have I disgusted the saints?"

Looking at the departing figure, the head nun's face was filled with shame.

"No, the saints never blame anyone who sacrifices their lives for humanity, because they know it is not your fault."

Arabella shook her head.

"What they hate is the evil that stalks humanity, the bad habits that arise from it, and the insects that, like hyenas smelling blood, rush forward to tear at human flesh at the slightest hint of conscience."

"Filthy things can distort good intentions, twist consciences, and turn a supposedly noble person into a beast."

"They want to tear it apart, to show people that kindness can be rewarded, to awaken a little conscience in the hearts of people, even if it's just a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand people."

"But this number will eventually expand and will eventually increase over time. Even if the process will be challenging, at least they are still on the road today."

She spoke softly, her words clear.

".Great ideal."

The head nun said so.

“Will we ever see that day?”

"Do you remember the question we asked when we first met, Sister Head?"

Arabella answered irrelevantly.

"Have you found the holy relic that can stop your wandering?"

"Yes."

Arabella admitted without hesitation.

"I have found it."
