Warhammer: The Beginning is the Crisis of Annihilation

  Chapter 38 White Glove Project 44

  Amidst the cheers of the crowd, another fanatic who was defined as a heretic of chaos was brought to the trial platform.

   Like the woman before him, he was also tied to a metal post.

  The burnt stench in the air terrified the fanatic, who had witnessed the woman's death, and now it was his turn.

   "I am not a believer in Chaos, I was wronged. My devotion to the Emperor exceeds all people, and you cannot treat me like this."

   "Then why did you torture and kill those people? Why did you cut the throats of those people and smear their blood on your face."

  The pastor asked sternly.

   "I am here to redeem the souls of those unbelievers, so that they can ascend to the kingdom of the emperor." The fanatic shouted.

"Absurd, you just want to use the name of the emperor to indiscriminately kill the humans he loves. You shameful traitor of chaos, in the name of the holy emperor, I sentence you to crimes, heresy, and you will be sentenced to death." The pastor said The hammer of the skull struck the judgment table, shouting the verdict of the opponent.

  The pastor's trial made the crowd even more fanatical, shouting to execute him and the like.

   Such a fanatical trial is not an isolated case.

  Espandor is happening everywhere.

  burning, hanging, beheading.

  People execute fanatics who are condemned as minions of Chaos, making them pay for their terrible actions.

   Some people also questioned whether the Primarch's approach was correct.

   After all, those who were executed were fanatics, and their piety was obvious to all.

   This made some people confused, and even suspected the Primarch.

  Guilliman shattered these confusions with one sentence, and sent those who doubted himself to the stake.

"There is a problem with the state religion. Those heretics are lurking around us, fooling you who are ignorant, just like the heretics who were hailed as saints in the past and killed thirty loyal battle groups, Barius. They pretend Became the Emperor's emissaries, fooling and deceiving us. They seem pious, but they are trying to lead us down the wrong path."

   No one can deny the crimes of Barius, a shameful heresy that killed more than 20,000 Space Marines.

   This statement by Guilliman gives wavering believers the idea of ​​staunch heresy hidden in the state religion.

  The storm of censorship has thus become more severe and terrifying.

  Those radical pastors and believers were subjected to severe censorship, their books were burned, and some were even judged as heretics and executed directly in public.

  In order to end the madness and extremes of the state religion, Guilliman created another madness,

   Believers who longed for salvation and repentance sent hundreds of thousands of people to the stake in one day.

  Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Guilliman had to give another order.

   Ask people to only target those heretics who are unwilling to repent, and do not allow excessive blows.

   Always remember the Emperor's mercy.

   Radicals are hateful, but they are also partly misguided.

   To redeem them, not destroy them.

   Fortunately, Guilliman's order came in time, otherwise the whole planet would have smelled of barbecue.

   While the believers were reviewing the so-called "heresy", Guilliman did not sit idle.

  He asked the bishops to bring over the current scriptures of the State Church and revise them again. In the name of the emperor, he defined those radical arguments and dogmas as heresies, and also defined a large number of books as banned books, prohibiting believers from viewing them.

   Libraries open to the public are only allowed to keep books of moderate and redemptive thought.

  Guilliman also issued new order documents for the bishops, requiring them to go to various planets, spread the distorted ideas of revising the state religion, and clean up those fanatics who have lost their minds and practiced cruel things in the name of the emperor.

  Any believer who disobeys the revised scriptures will be condemned as a minion of Chaos.

  These disgraceful traitors will be hunted by the New Church and Guilliman.

  Guilliman stayed in Espandor for three weeks, consolidating his identity as the sole spokesperson of the Emperor, and also confirming the scriptures and main ideas of the new state religion.

  A large number of fanatics were purged, and the extremist thoughts of the state religion in the world of Espandor were forcibly broken back by Guilliman.

   After dealing with Espandor, Guilliman returned to the Glory of Macragge.

  He cannot stay on one planet for a long time, and other places still need his salvation.

  In order to stabilize his achievements, he asked the bishops to report to him the progress of missionary work every once in a while, and which worlds did not cooperate and required him to mobilize the army to clean up heresies.

Standing on the deck of the Glory of Macragge, Guilliman looked at the gradually shrinking planet Espandor, and couldn't help sighing: "The world is so impermanent, I think I was the one who burned down the City of Faith. , and now I am the only one who claims to be the voice of the Holy Emperor."

  Fortunately, Lorgar, the Primarch of the Word Bearers, cannot come out of the warp, otherwise Guilliman would definitely vomit blood when he heard what Guilliman said.

  The Word Bearers Legion of Sequence Seventeen was the earliest imperial preacher, and Lorgar even compiled the Emperor's Holy Words to preach the emperor's divinity.

  The Word Bearers Legion was arguably the most loyal Legion to the Emperor during the early and mid stages of the Great Crusade.

  Every world they conquer is missionized, ensuring the piety of those worlds to the Emperor.

  The most ironic point is that when the Word Bearers rebelled in the later period, the world they once conquered became the most loyal defender of the Emperor.

   Traitors often need to pay a very heavy price to conquer these worlds.

  During the Great Crusade, the Word Bearers Legion built a perfect city of faith in order to promote the divinity of the Emperor.

  The City of Faith is full of sculptures of the Emperor, poems praising him, and various scriptures.

   This move thoroughly annoyed the Emperor, a staunch supporter of atheism.

  In order to teach Lorgar a lesson, the Emperor sent the Thirteenth Legion, the Ultramarine Legion led by Guilliman, to wipe out the City of Faith with orbital bombardment.

   And using his powerful spiritual power, he forced Lorgar and the soldiers of the Hundred Thousand Legion of Word Bearers to kneel to him, Guilliman and the Imperial Prime Minister Malcador.

  After this incident, the Word Bearers and the Ultramarines turned against each other, and retaliated against the Ultramarines in the subsequent Battle of Calth, killing 200,000 Space Marines of the Thirteenth Legion, and countless other ordinary soldiers and civilians.

  Who would have imagined that thousands of years have changed, the emperor sat on the golden throne, the traitor primarch hid in the subspace, the loyal primarch died, and the missing disappeared.

  As the only active Primarch in the empire, Guilliman has become the most legitimate spokesperson for the Emperor, and has suddenly become a representative of the Emperor's divinity.

   I have to say that it was a trick of good fortune.

   "My lord, there will be no problems with this approach, right?? Differences between religions are extremely easy to trigger wars."

  Sicarius looked at his lord and asked a little uneasy.

   "It is estimated that there will be some turmoil, and it should not be a big problem. If the cancer of the state religion is to be treated, there will inevitably be labor pains." Guilliman whispered, keeping his voice very small to ensure that it would not spread.

  In this case, he can only tell his absolute confidants like Sicarius.

   If it gets out, there will definitely be a big mess.

  As the spokesperson of the emperor, he said that the state religion is a cancer, which will inevitably collapse countless believers and cause great turmoil in the empire.

   "Your Excellency doesn't like the state religion, why don't you start to solve it?" Phikris asked puzzled.

"The foundation of the state religion has penetrated into all areas of the empire. If the state religion is forcibly removed, the already precarious empire will immediately fall apart." Guilliman explained, "We can only take it slowly. By the way, pass on to Captain Breher Order, let him correct the course, let's go to the main star of Thalassa."

"My lord, why are you going there?? We haven't received any distress signals about the main star of Thalassa. That world should still be operating normally. The power of the Tribunal is still very strong, and the demons dare not enter their fortress world at will. "

"I'm not going to support them, but I need to contact the judges." Guilliman said, "I have a plan that needs them to help me realize. Of course, I may not find the right person, but I can get to know it first. Given the current situation of the Tribunal, select some suitable candidates to work for me."

  Guilliman has not forgotten that he needs white gloves.

  I have to find a few radical judges and ask them to help me develop a few demon spies.

   The requirements are not high, at least you must have a general understanding of the movements of the evil gods, otherwise you will always have a dark eye, waiting for the other party to do things, too passive.

Luo Jia: You are amazing, you are lofty, when you burned down the capital of faith, called my things rubbish, and let my father force me to kneel down and admit my mistakes, now you are so legitimate and claim to be the spokesperson of the emperor, and you still take my words Fooling those bishops, as a Primarch, can you have some face? ?
