Chapter 206 Waldo's Thoughts
As Mina jumped up, the already out-of-control boulder exploded. For a moment, endless shouting and cursing came from the Emperor's Bride's residence, and finally it turned into an extremely tragic head-on conflict.

With the roar of chainsaw swords, Dominica's brides, or battle sisters, are only a minority after all. They are not cared for by the Crown of Psionic Energy, and the Emperor cannot use the limited psychic energy on these battle sisters - after Vandire's death, the Empire has more things to do. Just to wipe out the chain reaction caused by Vandire's mixed-blood rule, it will consume a lot of the Emperor's psychic energy.

The reason why the psychic crown was shown to Dominica and the other six was because these six people would be called the Six Saints in the future, and would establish six major schools in the Order of the Sisters of Battle. Their positive influence on the empire would be immeasurable and their cost-effectiveness would be extremely high, so they had to be persuaded to turn from darkness to light through psychic projection.

But now, it was undeniable that the Battle Sisters were at a disadvantage facing the siege of the Emperor's Bride.

During Vandel's long brainwashing process, even though Dominica and others enjoyed extremely high prestige in the Emperor's bride group. But this kind of thing was too sudden after all. It was because the persuasiveness of these six people was strong enough that more than a thousand of the Emperor's brides were willing to believe the words of Dominica and others and join the battle. Among the remaining nine thousand people, four thousand chose to wait and see. They only believed in the Emperor and were not interested in Vandel, but they were skeptical about the claims of Dominica and others.

The remaining 5,000 brides of the Emperor literally believed that Vandiel was the eternally chosen one of the Emperor, or even the reincarnation of the Emperor. Now, after hearing the "heresy" of Dominica and others, they were filled with anger, and looked at Dominica and others, wishing to eat them alive. Even with Mina's brutal killing in front of them, this group of fanatics still did not give in, but instead became more angry and issued fierce rebuttals.

They all believed that they were fighting for the Empire, and they all believed that they were defending the glory of the Emperor. Thus, an armed conflict that could be considered tragic even in the entire universe began.

On the surface, Dominica and the others were at an absolute disadvantage. One thousand versus five thousand, with the same equipment and an absolute difference in numbers, it should not take long for them to be slaughtered. But when the armed conflict really broke out, the situation was beyond everyone's expectations.

Wielding chainswords and bolters, the battle sisters, led by Saint Mina, penetrated deep into the Emperor's Bridal Army like a sharp knife. They charged left and right, forcibly breaking and dispersing those combat teams. Throughout the process, Mina gave people the feeling of being assisted by God. A layer of scarlet psychic arcs surrounded her body, and the speed of the explosion far exceeded the performance of her power armor.

Each strike was a sure kill, ruthless and merciless, but his eyes were never filled with pure anger. On the contrary, he maintained his sanity from beginning to end, without losing even a bit!

"Don't be afraid, sisters! We are the true believers!" Catherine, one of the six saints, the founder of the future Martyrs' Order, who was known for her ardent loyalty and unyielding enthusiasm, said passionately:

“Death is not to be feared! Our souls will burn like flames! Sisters! For the Emperor! Sacrifice is the purest and noblest fate! Our souls will merge into the glory of the Emperor and turn into a blazing divine light!”

During the charge, the Six Saints continuously issued inspiring battle cries. Every time the sound rang out, every time they swung the swords in their hands, the aura of psychic energy would surge around them. This divine power that could only be displayed under the Emperor's gaze made many hesitant Emperor's daughters choose to join the battle sisters. Then, the Emperor's bride was defeated.

While gritting their teeth and fighting, they quickly headed to the Ecclesiarchy via troop transports, trying to tell the great Emperor's reincarnation, Vandel, what these hateful traitors wanted to do.

Saint Mina, who was in the battle formation, rushed forward without hesitation. The jump pack behind her roared, and then followed an arc across the battlefield's heavy human wall. The chainsaw sword and grenade launcher were unleashed at the same time, and blood-red air waves surged around her body. She didn't even need to aim, and the bullets automatically hit the carefully covered weak points of the tanks, causing a large number of troop carriers that had already started to stop.

But at this moment, accompanied by a roar of "Kill her!" and the roar of the engine, an armored vehicle suddenly rushed towards Mina. The heavy armor on the front of the tank, no one would doubt that even if she was wearing power armor, once it was hit, Mina would be crushed to pieces.

But at this moment, the red light around Mina exploded, and she swung her arms subconsciously. The buzzing chainsaw sword burst out with a fierce thunderbolt, and her psychic energy turned into a torrent of fire, like the legendary flaming sword held by the Emperor that can burn all evil, splitting the front of the armored vehicle in half, burning all the rebels inside into a pile of charcoal!
"The Emperor is watching us!"

Seeing Mina's miraculous slash, the Emperor's brides, whose morale was already low because their formation was broken, even the most staunch believers in Vandel being the Emperor's Chosen One, could not help but wonder at this moment whether they were really deceived by Vandel's lies.

If not, then why, then why could this group of heretics before them get the Emperor's attention, unleash such miraculous strikes, and even allow the power armor to burst out with an output far exceeding the energy limit.

However, they could only defend from beginning to end, and could not even launch a decent attack...

Compared to the failure of the battle, this failure of faith was the most fatal. Almost in an instant, many of the Emperor's brides lost the ability to resist because of their doubts about their faith.

After seeing this scene, Mina did not kill the person. She just put away the hilt of the chainsaw sword, controlled her anger, and returned to Dominica's back, allowing Dominica and others to preach and admonish her.

Ron wasn't too surprised after seeing this scene from afar.

In the final analysis, the Scarlet Rose Order has always been the most powerful, crazy, and brutal group of combat sisters. Their later saint Aspira was also the 18th Grand Sister since the establishment of the Scarlet Rose Order. She once led the sisters of the order to fight against the heretic warlord Denescula, and liberated nearly 1000 worlds from his tyranny with only 100 warriors.

During the process, they were always killing people and launching attacks. They did not stop even when they passed by the heretic's prison dungeon. They even let the captured sisters and the people of the empire suffer in the Slaanesh prison, but kept chasing and killing them, handing the prisoners over to the reinforcements behind them.

In the short story released by GM, there is a high-ranking nun who killed more than 20 Khorne hounds before being hacked to death by the demon lord, which can be called the imperial superman. In this case, although Mina has not yet been blessed with the faith of a saint in the future, her own strength and quality are still far beyond ordinary people. After all, the future Scarlet Rose Order itself regards the art of combat as the wrath of the Emperor and constantly cultivates it. In terms of technology, even ordinary Space Marines are no match for Mina——

Well, in the Age of Apostasy in the original story, Mina even fought against the Commander of the Guards and did not lose. Although the battle with the Commander of the Guards was not a fight to the death, it was enough to prove Mina's strength.

During the Great Crusade, not to mention the astonishing record of Valdor killing thirty with one blow and only being slightly injured. During the war, ordinary Custodians could fight four Space Marines at once. Under Valdor's leadership, they even achieved the astonishing record of ten men defeating a thousand men... It can be said that apart from the Primarch, the Custodians are the ceiling of the Imperium's combat power. Being able to fight them to a draw, even if it is not a fight to the death, is enough to feel honored.

At the same time, the Sisters of Battle also have the most Living Saints. In the game Dawn of War 1, the armor type of Living Saints is Demonic, their power will be weakened by Blackrock Spire, they can be resurrected from the dead, and they can appear in multiple areas at the same time... It can only be said that the characteristics of the Warp have given these Sisters an upper limit that can even match the Primarchs.

But the upper limit is just an upper limit after all. Most of the combat nuns can only sacrifice on the battlefield in their fanatical faith.

With the end of the first round of war, the Imperial Guards also came out in full force, and the psychic generator was activated from the palace in the Himalayas. The entire Terra was completely cut off from the outside world for a short period of time. In the process, the Imperial Guards also came out in full force. Except for a small number of organized troops who remained in the palace, the rest all went directly to the vicinity of the State Church through the exclusive secret passages throughout Terra, and quickly completed the blockade in a short period of time.

"In fact, if we really want to kill Fandel, we can end the war in an instant."

Standing on the top of the palace, looking at the Ecclesiarchy in the distance, Valdor said calmly: "The power of the Guards is above all other government departments in the Empire, and is not subject to any existing or unexisting laws of the Empire. We will only obey the orders of the Emperor. If we want to kill Vandiel, it is just a matter of your word."

Valdor was not exaggerating, but telling the truth - during the Horus Heresy, the Guardian of the Custodians, Ra Endymion, easily killed a group of Khorne berserkers of the World Eaters in public. Except for the captain of the enemy, the ordinary World Eaters warriors did not know they were attacked until the moment before they died. That powerful force, let alone the enemy. Even the loyalists of the Blood Angels who were supporting the side as friendly forces but actually watching the show couldn't help but wonder if the purpose of the Custodians' existence was to suppress the Space Marines.

This loyalist Space Marine was probably overthinking it, the Custodes did not exist to suppress the Space Marines, but to suppress everyone.

"I want to, but I have to take my time because the restrictions are still in place." Ron calmly poured himself a beer. It was from Tony. It tasted good. What's it called? IPA? A craft beer with a strong fruity flavor. I'll ask him for some when I get a chance. Tony won't mind.

As he drank, Ron said, "This thing can't be removed with just a few words. It can only be officially removed after Guilliman wakes up... It's a headache to think about it. Couldn't that guy have made preparations before entering the stasis field? Now we have the restriction order and the Codex Astartes. It's useless against the enemy, but it's very useful against our own people."

Upon hearing this, Waldo's face showed a hint of embarrassment, and he said helplessly: "These codes were issued at the end of the Horus Heresy. Now this is inevitable..."

"Thousands of years have passed, and there is still no change. This is the problem." Ron couldn't help but complained: "I bet you that the Emperor would rather humans have the courage to try but ultimately choose a wrong path, rather than worship him and his descendants like gods, and let this belief become more rigid over thousands of years of evolution, thus affecting the historical process of the entire empire..."

"I agree with this, but the Emperor also has his own difficulties."

Waldo also seemed a little helpless.

The status of the Imperial Guards in the Empire is very special. In theory, they can lead the development of the entire Empire, because they are the best artists, politicians, engineers, and warriors created by the Emperor for mankind after shielding the threat of the warp.

But the problem is that the Custodians have very limited means to deal with the Warp. It is no exaggeration to say that they are far inferior to the Grey Knights in facing the threat of the Warp. They are invincible in the material realm, but helpless against the psychic power of the Warp. For this reason, in the past, they always appeared with the Sisters of Silence... But now, with the end of the Horus Heresy, the inheritance of the Sisters of Silence has almost dissipated. Only a few remote planets have left their traces.

Thinking in his heart, Walder couldn't help but sigh: "If I had known this, I probably shouldn't have nodded...about the restraining order."

The so-called restriction order is a restriction on the Custodians. During the Horus Heresy, the Custodians and the Sisters of Silence fought head-on with the Warp Demons on the Webway, suffering heavy losses, with only one in ten surviving. So Rogal Dorn, one of the Primarchs, believed that the severely reduced number of Custodians would not be of much use in the defense of Terra, so he let the Custodians continue to guard the throne.

So, after the rebellion ended, Dorn, Valdor, Guilliman and the Terra Council jointly issued a "Restriction Order" on the Custodes, prohibiting them from being deployed as an army and only protecting the Emperor in the palace. And the reason why this decree worked was thanks to Valdor's nod. After all, in the eyes of most of the Custodes, what are the Terra Council and the Primarch?

Especially for the latter, once betrayal occurs, there may be a second time. Even if it is just a possibility, it should be avoided as much as possible.

Unfortunately, times have changed. The laws of the past are obviously no longer applicable to today's era.
