Warhammer: I live under the watchful eyes of the gods

Chapter 253 Reorganizing the Rear
The scene in front of me was both familiar and unfamiliar.

What is familiar is the "Franco Cabin" that was deliberately requested to be preserved, and what is unfamiliar is the group of living cabins that have been refurbished around it.

Sweeping away the original sense of stagnation and decay, it is replaced by a kind of neatness and brightness.

And it's completely different from the crowd crowd last time.

After Carl made it clear that he didn't want to be disturbed, except for a few church members sent by Teska, the crowd really dispersed like this.

It is true that I saw a ghost.

It can only be said that there is something about Lorgar's "standardized belief maintenance process".

In terms of the degree of belief and fanaticism, Lorgar has thoroughly understood the truth.

=What these believers believe in is not the emperor himself, but the spirit reflected in him=
=The emperor is great not because of the titles he has won, not because of the golden throne he sits on, but because of everything he has done for mankind=
This sentence is also the same for Karl, the envoy of the emperor.

Pulling his attention away from the crowd who were doing their own business again, he refocused his attention on the architectural pattern on both sides of the road.

The architectural pattern here has undergone considerable changes.

This is not the design drawing given by Carl. After all, these are just some temporarily planned residential areas.

When the underground area is completely safe, these nests above the ground will now be converted into defensive fortress arrays on the surface of Frank No. [-].

This is not only responsible for the firepower delivery of the Frank No. [-] planetary fortress, but also responsible for the load distribution of the overall drive engine output.

So after the final completion, these nests above the surface will obviously not be used for human habitation.

Therefore, Karl did not spend too much energy on the planning of these residential areas.

Anyway, it can be used.

But judging from the current situation, Tesla still seems to have two brushes.

And he can also see that in addition to the most basic beliefs and work, Tesca, as a temporary church manager, also designed some entertainment activities ingeniously.

It was a kind of tarot card game, and the props that were originally used for divination have now become the pastimes of these believers after dinner.

After roughly scanning the metal cards, Carl saw some familiar portraits.

On it was a blurred picture representing the mysterious Emperor.

From a short distance, even Carl, with his superhuman vision, couldn't see the image on the metal plate clearly.

=The emperor's appearance generally depends on the thoughts in the mind of the observer=
The only strange thing was that he couldn't see the image engraved on the simple card.

Unbelievable, he walked through the crowd of onlookers, and took the metal card that looked ordinary on the surface with his own hands.

He tried to use the texture of the metal carving surface to determine what the blur in front of him was.

However, what is uncomfortable is that the carving marks that were originally clear in texture turned into a pure steel plate the moment Karl touched it vertically.

But as soon as you take it away and place the metal block sideways in front of your eyes, the blurry image will reappear.

Like a mirror, this blurred image only appears when placed sideways.

And he took this metal tarot card and questioned Abadan, Loken, and the onlookers, and they all got different but generally consistent answers.

"A middle-aged man in golden armor."

Helpless, after some fiddling to no avail, he could only give up and continue to study this slightly weird tarot card.

Leaving the somewhat noisy market, there is the church that has basically not changed much from before.

The only change from before he left last time may be that a translucent warehouse was built behind the church to store the grain bricks that were produced to overflow.

It has to be said that this is another cleverness of Tesla.

Instead of storing these grains in a ready-made warehouse in the distance, he chose to stack these edible bricks directly in front of everyone.

This is a kind of propaganda, a propaganda method that is enough to deter any newcomers.

As for whether it is safe?

Almost everyone has one Seed of Hope project terminal, and the high reward for reporting is not a joke.

Not to mention that as long as you believe in the emperor, you can receive the daily necessities of food. In this environment where there is a clear future for development, there are hardly any "bad people" here.

It is true that as long as one is a believer, the church can support these believers with the food produced in the void, but who doesn't have a little ambition.

And soon, Karl will provide a brand new platform for those who expect to go further.

"Twigs"

The wooden doors of the church are still the same.

A high EQ calls it a heaviness with a history, a low EQ calls it an annoying flaw without regular maintenance.

Unlike last time, when Karl opened the door, he saw Teska who had been waiting for a long time.

It is still the shape of a large mechanical can, and it is still the familiar feature of insufficient capacity.

But unlike before, it seems that this time Tesla's population has picked up a little bit.

In addition to not plugging himself into a bunch of machines to enable "maintenance mode", insanely convex computing and work efficiency, he also put on a flesh-colored colloid mask.

Of course, even so, this thin mask cannot cover the mechanical parts with thick metallic colors behind it.

But at least doing so can more or less prevent new believers from feeling that they have fallen into some kind of strange cult for the first time.

"Has the reassignment of the main body's work modules been completed?"

There were no polite greetings, after all, Karl still knew what Teska was.

This deliberate imitation of human nature is actually a burden for him.

"The preliminary repair plans for all the B-13 hives have been reset, and we are waiting for other topographic maps to be input before proceeding with the calculation."

The mechanical generator, which seemed to have not been changed for hundreds of years, instantly brought back part of Karl's memories.

He even remembered the scene where he inserted the control panel into Teska's body and threatened him to act as required to assist in destroying the Blood Council Hall in the B-13 hive capital.

It was also from then on that the reformed Tesca became the temporary head of the church.

Step by step, convert the crazy plan given by Carl into practical steps.

Thinking of this, he always felt that he should give this exemplary old employee a little reward.

But after thinking about it, he couldn't find anything suitable.

Tesca doesn't need money or power.

There is only one reason to support his crazy work --- his merits will last forever
As the actual executor of the Frank No. [-] plan, once the final plan is successful, there must be a large part of him on the Frank No. [-] monument.

But these are too far away.

What are the rewards that are close at hand and can be cashed out quickly?
At this moment, looking at Teska with an extremely low human content, a crazy idea suddenly appeared in Carl's mind.

The metal figures of Teska and Sare gradually overlapped.

"I will send you the first phase of the military expansion plan later, work hard, and I will replace you with a living metal body next time."

As soon as this remark came out, Abbadan and Loken were both stunned.

Good guy, isn't living metal the technology of Necrons?

It turns out that Kashen is so awesome, can this thing be taken and promised.

However, the two thought about it, combined with Sare's obedient state of being dealt with by Karl before, it seems that this is really not bragging.

Together, the two can only spread their hands and say "You have the skills and you are awesome".

Of course, as the recipient of this gift, Teska must have been more shocked than Abadan and Loken.

But what shocked him was not the "living metal" that Carl had promised, but the two tin cans standing behind Carl.

Unlike those bottom hive residents who have never seen the world, Teska has more or less heard the legends of some space warriors.

No way, as the former gang boss.

This kind of thing involving combat power is naturally the category he needs to pay attention to.

But attention is one thing, seeing real people is quite another.

(Damn it, what the hell, the Astartes from the boss are still alive!)

It was a small shock of a billion points.

Fortunately, as an old fritter, Teska has already learned how to hide his emotions.

But he, who is obsessed with success and fame, really cannot resist the temptation of eternal life.

"Living metal."

Just relying on this word is enough for him to figure out the real function of living metal.

After all, it is better to be able to live and witness his great achievements passed down from generation to generation than to be remembered by people hanging on a cold stone tablet.

"It is my honor to be able to participate in this plan and serve the Emperor. By the way, the red beard and Petronilla who were notified before are already waiting in the basement of the church. Do you want to notify them to come up?"

"No, you go to work first."

Watching Teska dragging the pipeline behind him up the stairs, Karl turned around and greeted Abadan and Loken to the familiar basement.

The rotating channel is still not very bright.

This is in stark contrast to the almost renovated residential areas outside.

Of course, he can also understand some of the reasons.

After all, there are usually no people here. Instead of engaging in formalism, it is better to invest more effective working hours in places where believers can see.

However, this slightly narrow passage is obviously a bit difficult for Loken and Abba.

They could only reluctantly turn sideways, timidly stepping forward a little bit.

But even so, they wanted to go down to see Karl's "old men".

Seeing this, Karl originally wanted Red Beard and Petronella to come up.

But when he thought of the "untouchable characteristics" of Red Beard and Petronilla, he decided to go to the basement to operate more carefully.

All the way down, Cal had already confirmed the positions of Redbeard and Petronilla without even going to the door.

It had been a long time since he had been exposed to this deeply uncomfortable position of exclusion.

As a result, the "resistance" that was hard-earned to develop has been somewhat degraded.

Fortunately, Karl, who has endured corruption all the year round and experienced the "Four Gods Skinning Technique" every now and then, can deal with this simple nausea with ease.

After the initial adaptation period, he quickly regained the previous feeling.

"Twigs"

The familiar second wooden door was pushed open again.

Impressively in front of you are Redbeard and Petronilla in black leather coats from the "Assassin Court" (the organization established by Karl before).

However, judging from the expressions of the two, their recent life has not been very smooth.

Of course, this is also impossible.

When the assassination court was first established, Karl gave them the task of tracking down the clues of the "black businessman".

According to the intelligence, Karl helped them target the gene stealers who were hidden in the hive.

This made the assassination court led by Redbeard miserable.

According to the bald-headed information provided by Carl, they missed the "black businessman" they were looking for in a daze.

In the end, this "black merchant" bumped into Kaya's muzzle that erupted at the end of the Dark Night War, and was taken back.

This is embarrassing.

Indeed, Redbeard took the lead and almost killed the gene stealers in the B-13 hive capital.

But they didn't finish the main task.

It stands to reason that this kind of work has no credit or hard work at best.

But in life, the most fearful thing is comparison.

Look at the crusaders in the house next door, they have already reached the faces of the nobles at the top of the tower.

Under the command of Rabbit Chief of Staff and Drake, this group of recruits has initially possessed some tactical skills other than faith and courage.

Next, we only need to unite some of the PDF troops who surrendered with the nobles at the top of the tower, and a small number of elite knights of the nobles.

It can be said that the crusaders in the B-13 hive capital have initially possessed the ability to annex another hive capital by force.

And look at Teska who was so busy that he didn't even have time to pull out the intubation behind him.

It can be said that Teska has contributed a lot to the church's crazy expansion in such a short period of time.

Just like awakening the governance experience package of the "Governor of Perfect City" in the previous life, relying on the unlimited food provided by Karl, the entire B-13 nest, except for the upper nest and the spire, is undergoing a seed of hope plan under the Seed of Hope plan. The integration is being done at a frantic pace.

Moreover, Teska's contribution is far more than that.

Others may not know what his "brother" Auremir (Ole Mir) did, but how could the Assassin Court, which controls the secrets of the entire hive, not know.

From the moment the rats in their special yellow uniforms were secretly sent out of the lab, Redbeard knew times had changed.

It's a pity that they don't seem to be able to keep up with the changing times.

In terms of force, the Crusaders are far superior to their organization, which basically focuses on assassination;
In terms of ability, there are just over 1000 of them who are not as good as the church's massive manpower;
In terms of anti-corruption capabilities, they were even nearly unemployed by the "standardized belief maintenance process" created by Lorgar and the supporting Seed of Hope project terminal.

Perhaps the only thing they can get is a few warriors who lurk in other hives to gather intelligence.

It is this kind of situation that is about to be involved in unemployment that makes Red Beard and Petronilla extremely depressed recently.

It feels bad to be replaced.

This feeling of doing nothing is simply wasting the trust given by the Emperor.

He drew his sword and looked around at a loss.

Fortunately, Karl's visit just happened to bring new tasks and new equipment.

"Don't worry, look what good things I brought."
