Warhammer 40: Gods Of Mortals

Chapter 553 Disadvantages of Regency

……

The war situation is improving.

After resolving battles in several galaxies in succession, Guilliman was finally able to devote his military power to Parmenio, and he even planned to go there in person to make up for the fact that he only sent a Tyron army regiment to help. As a result, Parmenio was almost destroyed.

Guilliman once didn't understand why his father was so cold. When faced with a dilemma, he could always make a decision without hesitation, just like a cold monarch and executioner.

But now Guilliman understands that in a war that is too huge, all a leader can do is make multiple choices.

It’s like having two rotten apples and you have to choose the less rotten one.

Since Mortarion and Typhons' attack on the entire Five Hundred Worlds was severely frustrated, they seemed to not want to continue fighting. At least according to a series of intelligence learned by Guilliman, both the Death Guard's ground troops and fleets were Avoiding the sharp edges of Tyrone Navy and Five Hundred World Navy.

This calm situation gave Guilliman time to do other things.

Such as entertainment.

Celestial Engine's first satellite structure has become a battlefield.

Countless soldiers fought on Skyguard, and the gaps in the mechanical structures of those giant weapon arrays even became battlefields. Cadian soldiers and Tyron Army minced meat with the enemy on Skyguard.

And between the gaps in the giant weapons array, various large war machines were bombarding each other.

"I told you it's not my cup of tea, it's because my latency is too high!"

"The delay is high? Why is the delay so high? Are you in Ultramar? If you are going to support the army soldiers of Five Hundred Worlds, then what you should be doing is fighting a war instead of playing games!"

"Shut your stinky mouth, or I will follow the Internet and strike you with lightning!"

"Hit me with lightning? Do you think you are the Lord of Tailong?"

While Guilliman was seriously learning how to play the game, Qin Mo was arguing with his teammates.

At the end of the battle, the teammate who argued with Qin Mo quit, and Guilliman learned how to play.

The battle for Titan in the Battle of Cartier was made into a game in the Tyrone sector. Millions of people played the role of soldiers from both sides and fought a bloody battle on Titan. Players with good luck could grab fighter planes, tanks or Titans, or even You can also accumulate points by killing enemies to become a space warrior.

"For those we hold dear, we stand with glory!"

Foros drew his spear from the corpse, raised the weapon and let out the Weeper's signature war cry.

Guilliman looked at his hero options, which included Foros, the leader of the Lamenters Chapter, but he was locked and there was no way to unlock it.

"Why can't I use Foros, but you can?" Guilliman looked at Qin Mo, who had become Foros.

"Because you did not participate in the Weeper Chapter's warship donation event half a year ago, only those who participated in the event can get the redemption code." Qin Mo said.

Guilliman nodded, and searched for other heroic characters, armored vehicles, and Titans in the game, and then let out a sigh: "It's a pity that there is no original body here, otherwise it would be very interesting for me to play myself."

"I know that the company that makes this game wants to add the Primarch, but unfortunately the Ecclesiarchy won't let them."

"The state religion won't give in? Does the state religion in your sector have such great power?"

At the mention of the national religion, Guilliman suddenly lost all interest. He took off the game device attached to the back of his head and wanted to have a serious discussion with Qin Mo about the Tyrone sector's attitude towards the national religion.

Qin Mo also took off the device attached to the back of his head, disconnected his spiritual link, and returned to the top of Macragge's Glory from the game.

"This matter has nothing to do with whether the state church has power."

"The problem is that the Church is suing gaming companies."

"It is unlikely that the state religion will win the case, but these people who do nothing else but read scriptures every day have plenty of time and money. Anyone who is doing serious business does not want to have to fight with them again and again."

"This is the 'new rule of the game' that the State Religion has found in Tailon, that is, instead of sending people to the stake, it uses other methods to cause trouble for unbelievers." Qin Mo explained this issue about the State Religion to Guilliman.

Guilliman was very upset after hearing this.

As a staunch opponent of the state religion, Guilliman did not want to talk about anything about the state religion. He was not so sensitive two days ago, until Mathieu pestered him every day to talk to him about the divinity of the emperor, which made him anxious. .

Mathieu was publicly scolded by his Primarch and asked to get off the Macragge's Glory.

Mathieu immediately packed up and left, saying that since this was the order of the Son of God, he would carry it out unconditionally.

"Speaking of the state religion...that girl..."

The topic about the State Religion is like an introduction, turning more things about the State Religion into something that Guilliman urgently needs to think about.

And the most important thing is about the girl on Parmenio who was discovered by the Mortal Auxiliary Army and the 44th Infantry Regiment of the Tyrone Army.

A girl who is suspected of being possessed by the God-Emperor.

"I think she is a psychic witch." Guilliman expressed his thoughts. "If my father wants me to do something, he will find me directly instead of going around in circles to possess a girl. Besides, isn’t there already Vanessa? Why couldn’t he just use Vanessa instead of finding a so-called living saint?”

"That must be a psychic witch."

"After waking up, I saw the chronicles of the state religion, which recorded that some so-called living saints were blindly worshiped, which led to devastating disasters."

"We have to be wary of her because no one knows who her so-called miracles are coming from."

"..."

While Guilliman rambled on, Qin Mo remained silent and said nothing.

He knew that the news about the living saint girl that was transmitted to the Macragge's Glory half a day ago was true, and that girl was also the living saint.

But Qin Mo will not try to persuade Guilliman to accept this fact, because there is no way to persuade him.

Guilliman will always maintain his own opinions on matters concerning the state religion, and he will use ten thousand well-reasoned and reasonable ways to refute the idea that the girl is a living saint.

Qin Mo liked getting along with Guilliman very much.

Guilliman was a man of good humor, not as cold as his other brothers, but the Imperial Regent still had a shortcoming, and that was his self-deception.

"Anyway, I think she is someone similar to Vanessa."

When Guilliman paused and waited for his friend's response, Qin Mo only said this.

Guilliman was stunned: "You should be as resolutely opposed to things like living saints as I am. Vanessa is just an exception. My father will not have a second humanity attached to a second person that is weak enough for mortals to bear." On the body."

"I never oppose the state religion or any imperial institution because of my ideals. I only consider the facts." Qin Mo nodded his forehead, "I can see the future."

Upon hearing this, Guilliman immediately wanted to start a debate, but in the end what he wanted to say was transformed into a deep breath of air and then exhaled.

The only disagreement between the two men was always over the state religion.

Guilliman had been careful to maintain the relationship between the two, and he did not want to cause any cracks in the relationship because of a debate.

"I plan to set up a spaceport on Parmenio to advance the front. Parmenio's role in this war will change with our arrival. The war on it is over, and it will serve as a logistics base. Continue to exist." Guilliman changed the subject.

"Then the girl Parmenio slept with..." Qin Mo brought the topic back. He didn't want to persuade Guilliman to change his mind with his words, but this matter had to be dealt with after all.

"That psyker will not withstand any witch test of the Ecclesiarchy, but she will not be able to play a role for her true master. She will be strictly guarded." Guilliman said, "I will send a Primaris Space Marine to cooperate with the local The army is guarding her.”

　I opened the code just after clearing the snow, my hands were still numb.
