Warhammer 40K in a box

Chapter 61 Chaos Threat
The Grey Knights' problem was serious, but not fatal to Chen Xi and the others.

Chen Xi himself couldn't be sure whether there was chaos pollution on this planet.

For the Empire, it is too normal for a few Chaos Cults to breed in places like the Lower Nest, so normal that if there are no Chaos Cults, you should consider whether there is something else going on.

However, generally speaking, these Chaos Cults cannot cause any major trouble, and the Hive City's law enforcers or Ministry of Justice bailiffs can clean them up easily.

After all, he is just a little bastard who doesn't even know the sacrificial ritual, can't pronounce the real names of a few demons, and can't even summon things like bloodletting ghosts and pink horrors.

Don't think that casting mixed balls is a simple matter. For ordinary cultists, it is actually very difficult for them to gain the attention of the four in the High Heaven. They may not even be able to win the attention of ordinary great demons or demon princes.

The ones who usually respond to these ordinary cultists are Chaos Wizards or gang leaders who want to upgrade their magic, or some demons whose KPIs are not high enough.

These guys are certainly not worth sending a Grey Knight, and even sending an Astartes against them would be a waste.

The situation on Rostov II was similar. While there were still Chaos Cults on the planet, there were some small-scale cults that couldn't even perform sacrificial rituals, and didn't even have the blessing of Chaos.

They simply believe in Chaos and there is no substantial Chaos threat at all.

Of course, Khadgar's main target is not this kind of thing that cannot be ranked. For the Grey Knights, they will not even bother to look at you if you don't summon a big demon.

However, Khadgar also knew clearly what the significance of the consecrated wine named "loyalty" was.

This plays a very important role even for the Grey Knights, and that is why Khadgar agreed to come to this planet.

His main task is to check whether there are any potential chaos threats on the planet. If there is no danger, he will be responsible for building a barrier on the planet to defend against the threat of chaos invasion, and stay with Chen Xi to ensure that he is not contaminated by the chaos heretics.

This is a very rare assignment for a Grey Knight, as they do not usually serve as advisors or bodyguards.

From its inception, this Chapter's mission has been to serve as the Imperium's last line of defense against the threat of Chaos.

For ten thousand years, the Grey Knights have fulfilled the tasks entrusted to them by the Emperor and Lord Mausoleum well, but they have also inevitably become too deeply involved with the Inquisition and other political forces in the Empire.

This also means that in addition to exterminating demons, they have to get involved in other things.

Protecting Chen Xi and preventing him from being threatened by Chaos is something that is beyond the Grey Knights' scope of responsibility, but something they have to do.

"Figsin, here is a document. Please deliver it to the head nun." The instructor of the novice nuns handed a document to the young novice nun and asked her to run an errand.

As an outstanding leader among the trainee nuns, the formal nuns who served as instructors were very fond of and valued her. In addition to daily training, they also let her get involved in more daily affairs of the order, trying to train her into a commander-like role.

Figxin could naturally sense the instructor's importance to her, but she did not feel proud or complacent about it. Instead, she held herself to stricter standards, which made the nuns more satisfied with her.

After receiving the documents from the instructor, Figessin left the training camp and headed towards the monastery. Due to the large number of new nuns arriving on the planet, the original monastery's training grounds had become overwhelmed. So, through the efforts of the new nuns themselves, they built this new training camp with their hard work and sweat, right next to the original monastery.

And as the city around the monastery grew, the road from the training camp to the monastery gradually became a bustling street.

People living nearby have opened many shops here, and most of the items they sell are related to faith.

For example, rather crudely made statues of the emperor and ritual items sold to pilgrims.

The sisters in the monastery would also make amulets, pamphlets copying the Emperor's true words and the like to sell, and the money they earned would be used to help the poor and pilgrims in need.

Rostov II itself is a planet on the pilgrimage route. Although there were not many pilgrims coming here in the past, with the reputation of the Holy Blessing Wine and the promotion of the state religion of the star zone, it has attracted a large number of pilgrims to come here for pilgrimage in just a few months.

Because of this, this street market is becoming increasingly prosperous.

On the way from Figesin to the monastery, believers kneeling on the ground and praying towards Holy Terra can be seen everywhere. Among them are some fanatics who are whipping themselves or lighting braziers or candles on their heads.

Figesin understands believers who whip themselves. In many cases, physical pain can make people more devout in their faith and achieve spiritual self-salvation.

Moreover, flogging is also an effective means of reflection and repentance for not following the teachings of the Emperor of God. In the training camp, young sisters are often whipped or whip themselves for various reasons.

However, more extreme behaviors are not understood or approved by Figesin.

In Figosin's view, there are many different ways to believe in the God-Emperor, and different people express their piety in different ways, but isn't extreme behavior a waste of the Emperor's currency?
Everyone is the Emperor's currency, and these people should dedicate their lives to more valuable things, rather than just turning themselves into firewood and throwing themselves into the fire called faith.

However, these words, which were somewhat heretical, were not told to anyone else by Figxin, nor were they expressed to any outsider.

She knew clearly that her ideas were still naive and immature, and she needed to see and learn more.

After praying for a believer who knelt down before him, Figesin crossed the street and arrived at the monastery.

What surprised her was that there were quite a few guests in the monastery today. The planetary governor's prime minister was leading an angel of the Emperor walking in the monastery, and the senior sister was also accompanying them. They seemed to be discussing something important.

This made Figsin quickly step aside, planning to wait until the head nun was done before submitting the documents the instructor asked her to submit.

However, while waiting on the side, Figosin was also very curious about what had happened that would cause an angel of the Emperor to descend on this planet.
