Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes.

Chapter 231 Watching the fire from the other side, the meeting at Ofelia 7
Compared with the magnificence under the full mobilization of the Orpheus star region, the authorities of the Storm Star Region at a higher level are in a strange silence.

As the immediate superiors of Orpheus, it is impossible for them to ignore the turning point of Orpheus' battle, and they naturally understand the development of the battle situation;

For Li, the appearance of Calvin and the appointment of his identity had already spread from the mouths of all the astropaths along the way from Terra to Orpheus, and spread to those who were qualified to know his identity.

Be a high lord, a member of the highest governing body of the empire;

An echo of the Emperor's will, a Grand Inquisitor who wields the power of the Inquisition;
Leaving the range of Holy Terra, and reaching the range of a certain star area.

Then what kind of attitude should the higher-ups of this star region have towards him?
Especially this one is still freshly baked as the lord judge of the Tribunal, not an existence who fled for refuge and is about to lose power.

At least a welcome is a must, right?

Even if there is a reason to welcome them, it is still right to send important envoys to show the most basic respect, right?

Take another step back, even if the envoy cannot go due to the fierce battle situation;

But in the name of all members of the Storm Starfield Authority, it is also possible to send a celebration and condolence announcement, right?
But it just didn't. Storm Starfield didn't adopt any of the above-mentioned matters, and fell into an eerie silence.

What are the high-level officials of the Star Domain Authority doing?

Well, not surprisingly, among these bureaucrats of the human empire, the administrative efficiency and ability are second only to the masters of those colleagues on Terra, and they are having a meeting to discuss at this time.

The content of the discussion is actually not important, and no one cares.

They all knew that it was just a reason to bring them together. There was only one real reason, and that was how to deal with Calvin, an unexpected "uninvited guest".

Differs from traditional terrestrial age empire architecture.

In the human empire in the interstellar era, there is no definite location for the administrative capital in the division of the sub-high-level administrative divisions of the "province" in the star field;

In the star field-level empire structure, only the military capital, that is, the home port of the Navy Grand Fleet, the headquarters of the Star Militia Army, and the public contact center of the Astartes Chapter, these three important units have fixed positions. Require.

As for the administrative capital, it is determined by the dominant group in the star area. Usually, whoever has the greatest power will have the loudest voice when deciding on the capital.

Of course, the location of the capital also mostly depends on the core of this force.

Then the question arises, who exactly occupies the absolute dominant ability in administration in the Storm Starfield?
The answer may be a bit unexpected, but it is still reasonable - the state religion.

Yes, get rid of Baka, the military capital of the Storm Star Region, which only has the ability to execute, as well as the Tribunal World, the Deathwatch Training World, and the richest but very low-key local Mechanic Cult that are used to defend against aliens and chaos. Forge the world.

The most famous and influential worlds in this star area are all owned by the Holy See, without exception.

This is the base camp of the state religion, and it is also the star field with the most Holy See worlds in the empire's territory, not one of them.

In this star field, the power of the state religion can be said to be everywhere.

The several bishop worlds named after Ofelia are the essence of the entire Star Language, and they are also the core worlds belonging to the state religion.

Among them, the most famous Ofelia 7 is known as the third greatest and richest world after Terra and Mars.

And with the support of the political status of the state religion for thousands of years of development and progress, some people even call it the relationship with the imperial capital, Holy Terra, as a sister world.

As the richest world in the entire star field, it also has the most majestic and magnificent buildings as a matter of course.

Under the auspices of Pope Benedin IV, a majestic temple with a construction area of ​​9 square miles and a height of 4000 meters was built on this sacred world.

Even compared with Terra's royal palace, it is only slightly inferior.

And in the chapel of a certain church in the deepest part of this majestic building, the adults who can decide the size of the entire star field are discussing intensely.

Most of the members attending the meeting were dressed in cassocks and crowns. Cardinal is their authority within the state church, and it is also a title they are respected when they are outside the church.

Hundreds of years after the establishment of the State Church and the Storm Starfield, the Pope once again led the State Church back to the political arena of Terra;
And the world of Ofelia 7, where the atrium of the state religion was once located, has naturally become the administrative capital of this star field.

Most of the members of the meeting have teaching positions, which is also a sign that most of the wealth in the star field is in the hands of the state religion;

A small number of members are also wearing red robes, sitting around the representatives of Reza's forged world, that is the existence in this Mechanic Cult that can confront Mars head-on, and it is also one of the largest local separatist forces in the Mechanic Cult of the entire empire;

The master of the death watch attended with several guards and representatives; they were only in charge of listening, not in charge, and did not participate in the discussion.

Representatives of the Grand Fleet of the Star Field Navy, the Admiral of the Navy, and the high-ranking Lord Admiral of the Imperial Navy—the representative of Moral Tai also attended the audience;
Well, the identity of this representative is somewhat complicated. He is not only the high-ranking political deputy of the Star Field Fleet, but also the 122nd son of the lord admiral.

These people have no conflict of interest in the existence of Calvin, and naturally they are not commenting;
However, the cardinals who control most of the power and financial power in the star field are completely different.

They are extremely sensitive to Calvin's identity and existence. As the theoretically highest person in the Tribunal, Calvin's identity naturally has a quite opposite position to the state religion.

Headed by the representative of Reza, more than a dozen other representatives of the secondary forging world also have mixed attitudes towards Calvin's existence, with mixed praise and criticism.

They do not have the attitude of indifference and indifference to specific government affairs;

In fact, it is the foundry generals of Reza Forge World who are consistent and strictly maintain political sensitivity and shrewdness, which allows them to maintain high-speed growth despite experiencing various natural disasters and man-made disasters for dozens of centuries. ;
While constantly participating in the construction of star fields and empires, he is also enthusiastic about developing various secondary forging worlds and maintaining long-term support for them.

Reza's continuous development and finally growing into a local force that can stand side by side with Mars is absolutely related to this political sensitivity.

And it is the representative of this foundry world who is also very interested in the possible changes in the star field policy after the appearance of Calvin at this time.

Like the cardinals of the state religion, they hoped to get the approval of Calvin to get tickets to the stage of Terra;

But he didn't want to pay too much practical price for the merits that the other party had to obtain before returning to Terra.

　Second watch, today's condition is not good, that's all.Ask for a ticket.
