Warhammer 40K in a box

Chapter 89 Model Mecha
"No, no, no, this is not a favor at all. As believers in the Emperor, we have a duty to protect his sacred property." Still in the luxurious cabin of the Ecclesiarchy ship, Pavel waved his bandaged hand, looking unconcerned.

Chen Xi looked at the bandage on Pavel's arm, then at the damaged decorations around the luxurious cabin, and realized that the damage to the Ecclesiarchy ship must have been quite serious in the previous battle.

In fact, just looking at the fact that the ship is now docked at the starport for repairs and is no longer able to fly through the warp back to the sector capital for repairs, you can tell how badly it is damaged.

So in the face of Pavel's politeness, Chen Xi said, "You are being polite. As loyal servants of the Emperor, it is indeed our duty to sacrifice ourselves for the Emperor, but the Emperor has never said anything about making his servants bleed and cry, right?
We have paid with blood, sweat and sacrifice, so we deserve rewards and compensation!

Although loyalty is the best reward for the loyal, in order to better serve the Emperor, we should also pay attention to methods and means."

"As expected, I know that you, Mr. Chen Xi, are not a staid and dull person." Pavel couldn't help but glance at Chen Xi approvingly when he heard what he said. He then said, "But for now, Mr. Chen Xi, you should focus on how to take care of this planet! For the state religion, the importance of this planet is self-evident!

I never thought that this planet would be attacked by aliens this time. It seems that building an orbital ring on this planet as you said is a very necessary thing!

I will have the Star District Church send someone to pick me up and take me back to the Star District capital later. After I return, I will do my best to help you lobby the Star District Church Council and strive to get them to agree to build an orbital ring for Rostov II!"

Although both promised to go back and lobby, the Star Region Church Council and the Star Region Cardinals Conference are two completely different concepts.

The former is the highest administrative body of the church in the entire star zone, while the star zone cardinals are more of an advisory group that serves the star zone archbishop personally, although each of the cardinals can serve as the bishop of a diocese.

"That's perfect! If the Sector Church can support us, Rostov II will remain standing forever even in the face of alien invasion!" Chen Xi welcomed and delighted this, and proposed a relatively compromise plan: "But building an orbital ring is indeed too expensive. I recalculated later, and perhaps we can first establish a defensive fortress at Mandeville Point?"

"This is indeed a good choice. After all, the construction of the orbital ring takes time. Before that, we need to improve the defense of Rostov II!" Pavel agreed with Chen Xi's proposal.

Although this is partly due to the fact that defensive fortresses are much cheaper than star rings, it is more because the safety of Rostov II, a holy place that is now very important to the state religion, is guaranteed.

Yes, in Pavel's mind, a planet where the Emperor's miracles have appeared twice can be called a holy land.

The appearance of the Consecrated Wine was a miracle of the Emperor, and the fact that the Order of the Holy Rose had received the Emperor's attention before was a second miracle!

Generally speaking, one miracle on a planet is enough to turn it into a shrine world of the state religion, not to mention two such miracles that are undoubtedly manifested!

This is precisely the key reason why Pavel has the confidence to go back and persuade the State Religion Council. The State Religion will never allow such an important world to be threatened by aliens.

So Pavel quickly said to Chen Xi: "In addition to the defensive fortress, Rostov II also needs a fleet. I will do my best to help you get a few more ships after I return!

"But please forgive me, the Imperial Navy has been experiencing a surge in recent battles. Even with the Ecclesiarchy's close relationship with the Solar Fleet, acquiring capital ships is still somewhat difficult. They're already short on supplies, so the best they can get you is a Moon-class cruiser."

"I don't mind the Moon-class, but if possible, the Dictator-class or Dominator-class might be better. One of them has a large number of carrier-based aircraft, and the other has a Nova cannon, both of which are indispensable and important components of naval warfare." Chen Xi thought about it and put forward his own requirements.

Although Chen Xi did not dislike the Moon-class, the Moon-class did not have a nova cannon or a launch port for carrier-based aircraft. In combat, it could only rely on conventional macro cannons and the Moon-class torpedoes themselves.

Compared with the Dominator-class that can fire nova cannons and the Dictator-class that can carry a large number of carrier-based aircraft, there is still some gap.

In response, Pavel simply nodded and said, "I'll try my best to keep an eye on it for you, but there's really no guarantee."

"Sir Pavel, just do your best." Chen Xi certainly wouldn't force it, but he still expressed his intention.

After the two chatted for a few more sentences, they inevitably turned the topic to the matter of the combat nuns.

"This battle was won thanks to the dedicated efforts of the combat nuns. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to withstand the enemy's attack if we relied solely on the defense forces." Chen Xi praised the combat nuns, who indeed played a huge role in this battle. "It's just a pity that the alien firepower they faced this time was too fierce, and they suffered extraordinary casualties.

If equipment like Sentinel mechas could be deployed to the front lines, perhaps their casualties could be reduced."

"Mr. Chen Xi, are you talking about the Atonement Engine? If you need that kind of thing, I can get you a batch. It's easy to do." Pavel was a little confused and thought that Chen Xi was talking about the torture device that hung people outside the mecha.

However, Chen Xi shook his head and said to Pavel, "Sir Pavel, have you never heard of something called the Paragon Mecha? I heard that it's the latest equipment of the Battle Sisters, comparable to the Astartes Centurion Mecha. If possible, could you help me find out more about it?"

Of course, Chen Xi himself has a model mecha chess piece, but this good thing is a new equipment equipped by the Sisters after the Great Rift opened up and with the appointment of Dean Merven Val. It is estimated that it has not been assigned to the Sisters yet.

However, if the national religion were to inquire, they should be able to obtain some information from the research and development institutions of Mars or Exemplary Mecha.

"Exemplary mecha? I seem to have heard of this kind of thing. I'll ask around for you later. It might be a new product from a certain forging world." Pavel didn't care about it.

For the state religion, they can get this kind of thing by any means they can think of.
