Chapter 208 Seeking Help from the Empire

In the capital of the Mariupol star zone, the Star Language Department informed all relevant departments of the star zone as soon as it received the distress signal from Rostov.

This news was like a bombshell, instantly causing an uproar in various power institutions in the star region.

All the departments that received the call for help were immediately in an uproar.

It is obviously impossible for the state religion to give up Rostov, an important planet that is almost equivalent to the Holy Land.

The district bishop immediately exerted the influence of the state religion and asked the district military affairs department to send reinforcements. At the same time, he contacted the star field military affairs department and the Imperial Navy to ask them to provide support.

The state religion is even calling for a holy war, preparing to mobilize its believers to launch an expedition to the Rostov sub-sector to completely eliminate the aliens.

The call for this crusade spread quickly among the believers, and many fanatical believers have begun to gather and prepare to fight for the glory of the Emperor.

The Inquisition was also furious that an alien civilization had dared to attack an Imperial world, and the Anti-Xenophobia Order was particularly furious.

Because this is within their scope of authority, if something like this happens, it can be said that they are derelict in their duty.

Although Chen Xi is also an inquisitor of the Anti-Foreign Order, he is resisting the attack of the alien civilization, so the main responsibility does not lie with him.

And judging from the current situation, the force assembled by Chen Xi is very strong: there are Space Marines, Battle Sisters, Astra Militarum, and a fleet consisting of several cruisers.

This is the maximum amount of power an inquisitor can mobilize under normal circumstances.

Such a force is enough to destroy the alien civilizations that the empire may encounter on a daily basis, except for the slightly insufficient number of ground troops.

But even such a force has now been beaten and has to ask for help. One can imagine how strong the enemy Chen Xi encountered was.

The Inquisition failed to discover such a powerful alien civilization. How could this not be dereliction of duty?
It is precisely because of this that the Inquisition is mobilizing the resources at its disposal to support Chen Xi while putting pressure on the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Navy.

But the greatest pressure faced by the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Navy at this time did not come from the State Religion and the Inquisition.

After all, the pressure from these two parties is mainly on official business, and there will be no major problems as long as the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Navy take action.

However, the political pressure from the sector nobles and the sector governor himself made it difficult for the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Navy to cope.

Because Mai Mai had previously secured a lot of sponsorship relationships when promoting the sub-sector development plan in the sector capital, the nobles and governors of the Mariupol sector were very concerned about the development of the Rostov sub-sector.

Chen Xi's actions were certainly not slow. The two planets that had already entered the construction phase gave the nobles in the star zone great confidence.

They are very optimistic about this plan and are prepared to make additional investments in the future. They even plan to organize a pioneering team to go to the sub-star region to develop planets.

After all, the benefits that can be brought by developing the planet are quite huge.

Perhaps the top families among the star zone nobles may not look down on it, but for the middle and lower class nobles, the benefits of a planet are still very amazing.

As for developing an entire sub-sector, that's a lucrative opportunity that even the Governor can't refuse. Even if the Governor himself doesn't care, his family can't afford to give up such a huge profit.

You know, if there is the support of the benefits that an entire sub-star region can bring, the governor's family can firmly hold the position of governor of the star region and pass it down from generation to generation.

It is precisely because of such huge interests that when the news broke that the Rostov sub-sector was attacked by an alien civilization and the entire sub-sector might become a battlefield, resulting in losses of interests, these nobles went crazy and urged the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Imperial Navy to rescue Rostov immediately.

The office of the star governor was almost flooded with petitions and letters of protest from the nobles. Some nobles even brought their retainers and private soldiers directly to the Ministry of Military Affairs to put pressure on them to take immediate action.

Under such pressure, the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Navy had to speed up their actions.

The Star Region Military Affairs Department quickly mobilized the nearby Star Army Corps and prepared to go to Rostov for support.

The Imperial Navy also urgently dispatched a main fleet consisting of a battleship and several cruisers, preparing to head to the Rostov sub-sector.

At the same time, the Inquisition's Anti-Xenophobia Order also dispatched elite Inquisitors to prepare for a thorough eradication of the alien civilization in the Rostov sub-sector.

The entire Mariupol sector seemed to be caught in a storm, and all forces were taking action for the fate of Rostov.

In such a tense atmosphere, the main fleet urgently mobilized by the Imperial Navy, the 200,000 Astra Militarum troops urgently recruited by the Ministry of Military Affairs, 800 Space Marines led by the elite anti-foreign inquisitors of the Inquisition, as well as a million Ecclesiarchy Crusaders and a hundred thousand noble private soldiers were assembled as the vanguard of this reinforcement within three months, and then they marched towards the Rostov sub-sector in a mighty manner.
-
The war on Rostov II was over before reinforcements were dispatched.

Both the fleets in space and the armies on the ground were found and crushed by Rostov's military forces.

In fact, Chen Xi only asked the astropath to send the call for help after the battle was over.

At first glance, it seems a bit strange. Why wait until the war is over before asking for help? Even considering the empire's low administrative efficiency, they should have asked for help before the battle started, rather than waiting until the war is over to call for reinforcements.

But there is nothing wrong with Chen Xi doing this.

The Necrons that appeared on the Rostov II were originally enemies that Chen Xi had to defeat with his own strength. At the very least, he had to hold the line of defense so that he could wait for reinforcements to come and rescue him instead of waiting for them to collect their bodies.

After defeating the Necron army that appeared on the Rostov II, Chen Xi's main goal changed from defending against the enemy to solving the problem once and for all.

There is no doubt that a Necron dynasty, even a small and insignificant one, is not something Chen Xi is capable of dealing with now.

Even if he could get reinforcements from the Mechanicus, which he did, Sage Christen promised to help call a legion of Titans from the Forge World of Gria, and Olivia contacted Cawl again, explaining the situation to him and requesting use of the contents beneath the forge.

Chen Xi didn't know the specific situation at the moment, but it was obvious that he could at least get assistance from a Titan Legion.

But these alone are not enough to solve the problem of a Undead Dynasty, unless the Griya Forge World uses up all its assets.

And Gria obviously would not do that unless Chen Xi could get a fragment of the Star God from the treasure house of the Undead Dynasty.

Therefore, it became inevitable to ask for help from the empire and request the empire to provide reinforcements.
