Warhammer: Beginning with Planetary Governors

Chapter 17: Imperial State Religion
Bayev reminded him: "Have you forgotten that you need a physical examination? Come with me to the church later."

With Bayev's reminder, Ron finally remembered this matter.

He had indeed promised to go to Bishop Donnie to check on his health.

Looking at Bayev, who was respectful but firm in his attitude, Ron understood.

This senior steward still didn't completely believe in himself.

But it is understandable, after all, he was attacked by Chaos Heretics and lost his memory.

The behavior also becomes strange, and anyone would be suspicious.

That was why Bayev insisted that he go to the state church for examination.

If there really was something wrong with him, the ministers of the state religion would have the means to identify it.

In fact, Bayev was also worried and conflicted. What should he do if the problem was really found?
Lord Ron is the only bloodline of the Grant family. If anything happens to him, the family will no longer exist.

At that time, where should they go?
Bayev has been in agony for the past two days, and finally he decided to ask Lord Ron to go for testing.

No matter what the test results are, even if Lord Ron believes in the devil, he will remain loyal!

"grown ups?"

Bayev waited nervously for Ron's response, fearing that he would be rejected.

"let's go……"

Ron nodded and agreed to Bayev's request.

This is a good thing. I can take this opportunity to get rid of everyone's doubts about myself and completely confirm my identity.

Bayev is his senior steward and most loyal confidant, holding many powers and secrets.

If he doesn't eliminate his doubts about himself, he will have a lot of trouble in the future.

As for whether the inspection would reveal any problems, Ron was not afraid at all.

Because his soul had been completely merged with Ron Grant, anyone who came to check would be convinced that they were one person.

Just think of it as going out for a walk and changing your mind.

Maybe you can find inspiration to solve your current problems.

Bayev was relieved when he got the response from the Governor-General: "Please follow me, His Excellency Bishop Doni is waiting for you."

Ron followed Bayev out and took the opportunity to ask him some questions.

Regarding the current power structure and control level of the Royal Court District.

In fact, Ron's power is now very stable, at least within the territory.

After the rebellion ended, Bayev was authorized to launch a major purge.

He took the opportunity to eliminate all the opposition and various personnel sent to this planet by the Empire.

He attributed those people to heretical rebellion and claimed that they unfortunately died in the fight against heresy.

Ron looked at the kind-looking steward in front of him and exclaimed in his heart, "What a good guy."

This guy keeps saying "God is supreme, God is supreme" all the time, how can he be so disloyal?

However, as the most loyal servant of the Grant family, Bayev's mission is to serve and protect the only bloodline of the Grant family.

Any factors that are harmful to Ron must be eliminated!

If it weren't for Bayev, Ron might not be alive today.

To this, he could only express his appreciation: "Well done."

"I'm glad you understand," Bayev said respectfully, "Everything is for the continuation of Grant's bloodline."

Overall, Bayev is a very qualified senior steward, even exceptionally good.

Without him, the Royal Court District might have fallen long ago.

Including the problem of food shortage that Ron is worried about now, Bayev has also made a plan early. According to his plan, the Royal Court District will implement stricter control.

For the sake of the overall situation, a part of the people will be sacrificed to eliminate useless labor and recover resources such as protein and water from them to maintain the operation of the army.

In this way, the Royal Court District can be maintained for several decades longer.

By that time, the subspace storm should have subsided, and the Royal Court will resume communication with the outside world to seek a solution to the dilemma.

It would be even better if we could wait for rescue from the empire.

But Ron rejected Bayev's plan.

Because once the plan is implemented, it will bring even greater suffering to the people in the territory, and countless people will die.

How, then, are they different from the Hormans and those barbaric warbands?

This was unacceptable to him.

Besides, he also knew that the big rift would last longer.

At this moment, at the easternmost part of the galaxy, Macragge, the home planet of the Ultramarines, should be in blood and war.

The Ultramarines will resist the attack of the Chaos forces and resurrect their Primarch in the Sanctuary, Robouti Guilliman, Lord of Ultramar and Thirteenth Son of the Emperor.

After Robert Guilliman awakens, he will embark on an unyielding crusade as the regent of the Empire to liberate the many worlds on the dark side of the Empire.

But all this will take a long time, and Ers Star probably won't be able to wait until that time.

Implementing Bayev's plan would only extend the time, and the result would be the same.

Ron had a better idea, but he was blocked.

Just as Ron was thinking about how to inspire hope among the suffering people, Bayev's voice interrupted him.

"Sir, we are here..."

The hovercraft stopped at the bottom of the steps of the Anglican Church in the Royal Court District.

Constructed of black stone and heavy metal, the exterior of the church is covered in statues depicting scenes from imperial history and images of saints.

There is a huge stained glass dome on the top, which sparkles brightly under the strong sunlight.

Ron got out of the car and looked at the magnificent and sacred church, feeling a little emotional.

As expected of the Empire's state religion, I could feel the solemn and mysterious atmosphere as soon as I got off the car.

It's just a bit deserted, with almost no one to be seen.

He couldn't help but look at Bayev. Would this guy clean up this place as well?

As the only religious sect designated by the Empire, the Imperial State Religion is one of the most important organizations within the Human Empire.

The Imperial State Religion, or Church, is responsible for spreading and maintaining a belief system in which the Great Emperor is the only true God.

The church is an extremely large organization, stationed on millions of planetary worlds in the empire, guiding countless people of the empire to become believers.

Its headquarters is located in Antarctica on Holy Terra, and that religious city covers almost the entire Antarctica.

The Church is based on worshipping the Emperor, preaching his teachings, and has a powerful military presence to protect it.

Those fanatical priests held scriptures in their left hands and guns in their right hands, and carried chainswords on their backs.

Anyone who blasphemes the Emperor will be judged most harshly!
With the armed forces of the church, it should be difficult for the Royal Court to cleanse it, right?

What's more, it is such a blasphemy to dare to purge the most loyal servants of His Majesty the Divine Emperor!
There really are gods in this world, and the God Emperor is a god-like existence.

Although the probability is extremely small, if the Emperor of God gets angry and brings down divine punishment or something, who can withstand it?

Ron looked at Bayev, his eyes full of confusion.

What's the matter?
