Warhammer 40K in a box

Chapter 91 Sister Silence
If it was another kind of black ship, then it would not be strange to have a silent nun on board.

Although since the Great Heresy, the autistic golden corns of the Imperial Guard have been staying in the palace and not coming out, causing the Sisters of Silence to be expelled from Holy Terra because of their untouchable characteristics, and the entire Demon-Slaying Cult has fallen apart for various reasons, the Sisters of Silence have not disappeared from the history of the Empire.

Although they have been forgotten and many orders have been discontinued due to lack of funds and personnel, there are still a group of silent sisters who are still active in various institutions of the empire.

Among them, the Black Ship Fleet affiliated with the Star Language Court is the only known organization that still has a complete organization of Silent Sisters.

These Sisters of Silence, who belonged to the demon-slaying Order Chamber Astra before the Heresy, still serve in the Black Ship Fleet, responsible for collecting psyker tithes from all Imperial worlds throughout the galaxy.

They would arrive at each imperial world, and then load the psykers collected locally onto ships and take them away. Once the black ships they were responsible for were full, they would send the psykers on the ships back to Holy Terra for selection by various departments of the empire that needed psykers.

The Grey Knights, the Astronomican Tribunal, the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Inquisition... all departments of the Empire have a great demand for psychics, and the one with the greatest demand for psychics is the Astronomican Chamber. After all, a thousand psychics have to be burned every day to keep the Astronomican running.

Although the Sisters of Silence have been forgotten by the Empire, they still serve the Empire in this way.

However, the black ships of the Black Ship Fleet are specially used to carry psychics, and are not the same as the black ships of the Inquisition.

So how did a rare creature like the Sister of Silence appear on the Inquisition's black ship?
"The previous owner of this ship found me and asked me to become his acolyte in exchange for sponsoring my order." A young nun translated for Chen Xi, while an older nun beside her was constantly using sign language.

After hearing the nun's explanation, Chen Xi couldn't help but marvel at the wild ways of the previous owner of this black ship.

Not only are there various ancient technological artifacts on board, but they can even abduct two Sisters of Silence, although one of them seems to be a novice who has not yet taken the vow of tranquility.

"This ship has now been handed over to me by the Inquisition. Sister, are you willing to stay on the ship or work for me?" Chen Xi did not like beating around the bush. Moreover, for this group of silent nuns who had been forgotten by the empire for ten thousand years, sweet words could not eliminate their ten thousand years of resentment.

After all, the Imperial Guards Marshal was scolded in sign language for more than an hour and dared not say a word.

"I can sign a contract with you and obtain sponsorship and support by serving you to ensure that my order can be passed on and continue the responsibilities of the Sisters of Silence." The Sister of Silence who can serve the Inquisitor does not seem to mind continuing to serve Chen Xi, but she also emphasized that she needs sponsorship and support.

Chen Xi could understand the request of the Silent Sister, nodded and said, "I will provide you with sufficient support. Of course, you can also find new untouchables on the planets under my jurisdiction to supplement your sect.

Although there is no direct evidence, this galaxy is about to undergo a major change. I hope that more Sisters of Silence will return to the Empire's vision. The future needs you."

When the Great Rift opens thirty years from now, the entire galaxy will be under immense threat. Having a Sisterhood of Silence unit to handle all Warp-related issues would be a natural advantage. While Chen Xi does have Sisterhood of Silence pawns, they are considered on the same level as the Custodians, requiring at least Level V clearance to deploy them. Therefore, being able to directly recruit a Sisterhood of Silence unit right now is undoubtedly a great opportunity.

"I will contact other religious orders that I can for you, but they need help." The Silent Sister did not refuse Chen Xi's request, but said that it would cost money.

"That's easy. Whether it's the Armor of Oath or the Executioner's Greatsword, I will find a way to prepare them for you. You can even build a fortress on my planet to train new Sisters of Silence." Chen Xi was quite concerned about this matter. Although the Sisters of Silence could also use other equipment and various long-range weapons including grenade launchers, their most iconic weapon was still the Executioner's Greatsword, as well as their superb martial arts that were worthy of praise from the Imperial Guards.

As for the sources of these two pieces of equipment, Chen Xi felt that his points should be enough to exchange for their STC templates, and then he could find a way to produce them in small batches.

After all, the Armor of Oath is not the custom-made set of Shining Gold that the Imperial Guards wear. Although it is slightly different from the power armor of ordinary Space Marines, it is not that outrageously expensive. Chen Xi can still make it himself if he thinks of a way.

(The Sisters of Silence, the Night Watch VIGILATOR team. By the way, their masks are nailed to their skulls)
(An old concept art of the Sisters of Battle, a unit called the Sufferers, dedicated to executing those who harbored psykers)
(An old Battle Sister concept painting, with a strong artistic style, laid the foundation for the style and artistic tone of the old Warhammer)

(The three great Sisters of Silence during the Great Crusade were the Commander of the Sisters of Silence, the Lady of the Black Ship, the tax collector, and the Revenge Practitioner of the Internal Guard)

If it really doesn't work, he can use points to exchange for them. After all, there are only two Silent Sisters in front of him, and one of them is an Acolyte, similar to a trainee nun. He can still afford two sets of equipment.

"That's great. My order and I haven't received supplies of Vratine Armor and Execution Sword for a long time." The Sister of Silence seemed very happy to receive supplies that truly belonged to the Sisters of Silence.

Chen Xi listened to the novice nun beside her retelling the story and was very satisfied with the cooperation of this silent nun.

After all, their existence is an absolute natural enemy for both psychics and chaos demons. Even a small team of Sisters of Silence can turn a big demon into a weakling after releasing a void force field.

When Guilliman returned to Holy Terra, he fought a fierce battle with One-Eye Sunburned Ogrim on the moon. The large number of Sisters of Silence under his command even prevented the Rainbow Ponies from releasing their psychic powers, which shows how powerful they are.

However, thinking about this, Chen Xi suddenly discovered a blind spot: "Have you restrained your empty force field? As a psychic, I don't feel uncomfortable at all."

"Your Excellency the Inquisitor, are you really a psychic? Or are you really the role you play?" However, the Silent Sister in front of him did not answer Chen Xi's question, but asked him a meaningful question.

Damn it! I forgot that in the eyes of these silent nuns, Old Man Huang is just a big Central Asian guy. I'm afraid my true appearance has been exposed directly before their eyes!
