Emperor's Daughter of the Red Sands

Chapter 55 Punishment
This day is a very meaningful day for the residents of Perfect City.

The Emperor of Humanity personally visited this world called Kul.

It is the brainchild of the Lord of the No.17 Legion, the jewel in the palm of Lorgar.

【Perfect City】.

It is the glory of Legion No.17, and a monument of pride for every Word Bearer.Every brick of it symbolizes the will of the Word Bearers to die for the truth, just like the Legion's name, a miracle wrought by the hands of those with truth in their hearts.

This city exuding divine brilliance symbolizes the unprecedented rationality in the entire galaxy. It represents the perfect combination of the truth of the empire and the divinity of the emperor. The promised land that people dream of - it is Jerusalem, it is Avalon, it is an ideal land flowing with milk and honey, it is the acceptance and tolerance of the Lord of Humanity for the No. end.

No one knows what the presence of the God-Emperor will mean—whether it is an unending love for his devout followers, or a knowledge rich in truth, or a holy test that no one can know?

However, just His existence is already sacred enough.

Just like the countless poems praising the God who opened up territories in the Milky Way in the "Holy Words", mortals and angels don't have to try to guess the true meaning of that god. He can walk in the world and spread reason and faith to all human beings. That is the greatest miracle.

For several Kulstadt days, everyone in the city stopped any meaningless activities, silent praises, reverberating hymns, and even the thirteenth knocking of the sacred bell, the whole city had only endless The silence of the world is only because the savior who walks among the stars is here in person.

The brilliance of religion and the glory of reason bloom at this moment. Everyone bathes in candlelight and incense and prays devoutly, regardless of noble or poor, because they all have the same devout belief in their hearts.

Each of them saw the dazzling golden star in the night sky. The majestic fleet that symbolizes the Lord of Humanity is faintly visible even in the night sky of Kur, and they respectively believe in the truth of the empire and the holy words of the emperor. of people have stopped arguing with each other for ideas at this moment.

Yes, as far as official propaganda is concerned, the ever-expanding Imperium of Man is a secular regime that proclaims and articulates the "truths" of science and reason rather than the "lies" of religion and spiritualism - however, the Emperor of Man Kindness is everywhere, and the establishment of the perfect city is one of them.

The empire tolerates and accepts that most of the world is willing to submit to the truth of the empire. As long as they are willing to abandon all the religious lies of the past, it is naturally within the permission of the Ministry of Justice to transform the truth of the empire to conform to the concept of the local world. .

After all, apart from the extremely dirty alien forces, the human empire has not regarded those heathen forces as a big threat so far. Even the many heathen forge worlds that spread across the starry sky in the era of disputes have been continuously reclassified. Under the glory of the imperial double-headed eagle.

Strictly speaking, the empire's emphasis on the promotion of the truth of the empire is far greater than the sanctions and suppression of paganism.

Even, some of the original religious beliefs on the home planet of the Primarch were preserved when they returned to the empire-Baal of Sanguinius, Nuceria of Elaine, these ancient beliefs in the world still exist, and these The people of the world still believe in the existence of those Primarchs as gods walking in the world.

Thus, the only things that mattered in the Great Crusade were efficiency and speed.

As a result, Lorjana almost regarded the "Imperial Truth" as nothing, and his almost fanatical belief in the truth of "the Lord of Humanity has divinity" was also wantonly promoted with the emperor's acquiescence.

Until the 'Judgment Day' comes.

……

Angor Tai closed his eyes tightly, and the hull swaying freely in the turbulence of the warp seemed to reveal the uneasiness of the Word Bearer.

"I still can't believe...we're getting an order like this."

He murmured softly.

"…incredible."

Beside the Captain of the Jagged Sun Chapter, several Word Bearers also sighed.

They also couldn't understand the order.

A few standard Tara days before, the Word Bearers received an astronomical communication that could be called doom.

It came from Holy Terra, it came from the will of the Emperor of Man.

It delivered an incomprehensible order to Legion No.17.

[Destroy the perfect city. 】

In fact, after receiving this astronomical communication, the astronomical officer in charge of conveying the message was instantly killed by the furious priests - each of them could not understand why the human emperor would place such a heavy burden on them of doom.

The Perfect City is the soul of the No.17 Legion, the homeland where each of them rests in their hearts, but now the Emperor has imposed a heavy punishment on the great achievements of the Word Bearers.

Doubt burns in the heart of every Astartes of the No.17 Legion.

Even their Primarch, the end of their faith link, Lorgar, Lord of the No. 17 Legion, hardly stayed at home after receiving the news.

No one knows what thoughts wander in his mind, nor what the Word Bearers will do from now on.

However, the Word Bearers fleet still sailed into the warp lane.

They sailed to the Obscure Star Field, toward the perfect city that every believer yearns for.

——However, those who proclaim the truth now want to destroy all the "truth" they have taken as a warning in the name of truth.

How sad.

……

On the wide square in the center of the city, believers gather here: the chanting of prayers and the reverberation of the big clock constitute their pious thoughts, and their eyes that are always closed represent their restless and nervous mood.

This is the morning of the No. 13 Standard Cour Day after the emperor came to the Perfect City. No devout believer wants to miss this holy mass.

Until the sharp roar in the sky awakened the people from their prayers, they looked up at the sky one after another.

It was a falling star.

It dragged an overly dazzling tail flame, and its fiery light shone brightly in the hazy night sky.

Until people finally saw clearly what the star brought—the endless iron rain and howling iron birds wandered wantonly, and the shadow of the fleet covering the sky aimed its main guns at the holy churches.

It symbolizes the will of the gods.

It brings the wrath of the gods.

It is the punishment for crossing the line.
