From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man - Chapter 401

c391 Empire State Religion Selection of Sacrifices

soon.

The 1st Company of the Dark Angels airborne from orbit, delivering a thousand adult Astartes, 300 Paladins (Glory Guard), and 10,000 Legion Hell Paratroopers into the streets and neighborhoods of “One Three” Vienna. .

Moreover, Leon, the original body of the Dark Angels, also arrived alone in an airdrop pod that could accommodate the entire Astartes tactical team, not far from the east of the “One Three” St. Peter’s Cathedral.

At the same time, the 1st company fleet located in low-Earth orbit was still using plasma secondary cannons to launch crushing strikes against the Holy Roman Empire’s defenses and fixed cannons.

The Pelican, Herring Gull and Luna transport boats also carried hundreds of thousands of auxiliary troops to re-enter the atmosphere, preparing to fully occupy Vienna, the capital of the Holy Roman Empire.

——

now.

Leon, who was separated from the main force, was strolling towards the cathedral.

In just a short moment, the entire city was enveloped in the deafening roar of guns, explosions and engines, but the sound of the original body’s footsteps on the ground was particularly prominent in this area.

The high-ranking officials and nobles living here hid in their respective houses and did not dare to show their faces, so they had to secretly observe the situation outside.

! !

When these “human masters” of the “One Three” universe saw the original body wearing exclusive power armor and being more than five meters tall walking past their house, they thought that the church had successfully reached “cooperation” with the heavenly plane.

After all, Leon has a handsome appearance. Although he deliberately has a beard and a back hair style, he has some kind of “sacred force field” within himself.

When ordinary people see Leon, they will think that Leon’s body is shrouded in a “halo” due to the influence of pure spiritual energy, and they will have the urge to kneel down deep in their hearts.

It’s like it has its own “sacred beauty function”.

When Leon faces the residents of the empire or discusses matters with the auxiliary generals of the legion, he will deliberately restrain the “outflow” of pure spiritual energy.

But now, he faced a group of privileged worms who sucked, squeezed and deceived ordinary people, and naturally they were too lazy to curb the “sanctifying” effect of pure spiritual energy.

Some descendants of nobles who had strong beliefs in God and heaven, when they saw Leon approaching in the direction of the cathedral, they immediately ran out of their houses and hiding places and kowtowed to Leon;

“Oh my God! A true knight.”

“Are you here to save us?”

“Sir, please help us defend ourselves against foreign enemies.”

Listening to the aristocratic children, who were generally around sixteen or seventeen or in their early twenties, saying various words about “God” and “manifestation” to him, Leon’s face remained indifferent and he came to the cathedral minding his own business. main entrance square.

Starting from the fleet’s orbital bombardment, elite knights stationed in Vienna gathered here, as well as nuns who had fanatical faith and fear in God, and had eaten the flesh and blood of saints.

? !

The knights and nuns fell into a daze when they saw Leon stepping into the square alone, and Leon’s appearance was like the “Paladin of Paradise” described in the legend.

They didn’t know what to do for a while.

As the guardians of the cathedral, as well as the pope and bishops, they should attack anyone who breaks into this place.

But they are also afraid that the Leon in front of them is the “helper” summoned by the church to God and heaven through taboo rituals.

“.”

However, Leon, who had already reached the center of the square and was not wearing a helmet, looked around, as if looking for the goal of his trip.

Just a moment.

Through his original body-level perception, Leon locked onto a group of people who exuded strong fear and cowardice.

The bastards who must be more afraid of death than knights and nuns always talk about “God will lead us to victory!”,

“Anyone or anything who does not believe in God is a sinful heretic”,

Popes and bishops who “God will return to earth.”

It was confirmed that the group of scumbags from the “13” universe were in the garden behind the cathedral. They seemed to be trying to escape from Vienna by using the underground passage hidden in the core of the garden.

Boom, boom——!

Leon suddenly accelerated his speed, causing his huge body to turn into an afterimage that could not be accurately captured and locked by the naked eye, even the advanced instruments and equipment of the main universe, and disappeared in the square.

? ? ?

The hundreds of knights and nuns stationed in the cathedral were stunned, obviously not understanding what happened.

As for the descendants of the nobles who followed Leon and gathered outside the church square, they knelt on the ground more piously, sighing at “the miracle of God.”

“That’s not the Knight of Heaven!”

Suddenly, a knight leader who was over two and a half meters tall and close to the physique of an Astartes immediately reacted and reminded loudly:

“His target is the Pope! Hurry! Hurry”

“What’s quick?”

Before the leader of the knights could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Leon’s cold words.

I saw Leon’s figure standing in the center of the square again at some unknown moment.

But the difference is that at this moment, Leon’s left index finger and thumb are gently squeezing the pope of the church, who is gorgeously dressed and well-shaped.

“Help. Help me!!”

The Pope, whose life and death were decided by Leon’s left hand, struggled and screamed out of extreme fear.

The pope’s clothes, which represented purity and piety, were quickly soaked with the pope’s excrement.

The stench “hit” immediately.

Lion frowned when he smelled the smell, and quickly stretched out his left arm to make the Pope as far away from him as possible, so as to prevent the Pope from throwing excrement and urine on his exclusive power armor when struggling.

In fact, when he turned into a shadow and disappeared just now, he had already broken into the garden behind the church.

The guards responsible for protecting the Pope and the bishops, even if they have undergone more stringent and precise transformation operations than the Knights of the Knights, and have eaten better cloned flesh and blood, have the strength level comparable to that of ordinary Astartes.

But the result of their fight against the original body is still inevitably killed instantly.

There is no way, unless God really “reappears in the world”, otherwise there is no creature in the “One Three” universe that can pose a substantial threat to the original body.

After killing a group of church guards and a group of bishops who have no use value, Leon pinched the Pope with one hand and returned to the center of the church square.

At this time;

“Get rid of that heretic!”

“Rescue the Pope!”

Hundreds of knights and nuns finally understood that Leon was not a heavenly knight summoned by the church to rescue and support them, but a member of the human empire camp.

The knights and nuns waved their own giant swords and spears, and took out guns with bullets dipped in holy water, ready to launch a siege on Leon.

Unfortunately.

The various actions of the knights and nuns seemed to be slow motion or even still in the eyes of Leon who was concentrating.

As long as Leon wanted, he could free up his right hand to wave the Lion King giant sword, and in an instant, he could get rid of all the knights and nuns in the square.

But he didn’t do that.

Instead, he freed up his right hand, clenched his fist, and knocked out all the knights and nuns present at a very fast speed and extremely.

Extremely weak force.

In other words, Leon’s control over his own power has reached the pinnacle. If the “careless” Riemann had been allowed to do it, the knights and nuns would have been turned into minced meat long ago.

Without using psychic power, the Primarch can lift a Paris-class frigate with his physical body alone.

The limit of going all out is still unknown.

Because the situation that requires the Primarch to burst out the limit of his potential has never happened.

Even when Sanguinius fought against the Homelander, he could not let Sanguinius use the limit of his physical body.

Therefore, if the strength is not controlled well, the knights and nuns present will literally “collapse”.

After just a few seconds.

The church square fell into silence, and the nearly a thousand noble heirs kneeling outside the square fell into a state of daze.

The noble heirs have never considered the possibility that Leon is not a knight of heaven.

In their cognition, the existence of handsome appearance, sacred temperament, and gorgeous armor can only come from the heavenly plane.

The hell side is the representative of filth, ugliness, and stench.

After all, in their worldview, there is only heaven and hell, and other human forces have never been considered, let alone human empires from other universes.

As for the reason why Leon did not kill, it was not because of kindness, but because he needed enough “living sacrifices”.

To be valued by the Pope and responsible for the defense of the cathedral, not all, but more than 90% should have absolute faith and loyalty to God and heaven.

After the 1st Company fully occupied Vienna, Hera would directly select the guys who met the “sacrifice” conditions from them, which could save some time and avoid a lot of trouble.

At this moment, facing the aristocratic heir who was in shock and stunned, Leon just made his left hand exert a little force

“No! No, please let me go! Don’t kill me! Let me do anything!!”

The Pope continued to cry and beg for mercy, and this time, the crying made the Pope release more excrement and urine.

“Ugh”

The noble heirs who were closest to him vomited because of the Pope’s ugly appearance, disgusting smell and scene.

Even Leon, who had seen all kinds of scenes, couldn’t help but sigh how much the Pope had eaten and drunk to be able to defecate all the time?

Of course, Leon did this not only to satisfy his dark taste, but also to use the images taken by the power armor to facilitate the Heresy Inquisition to preach in the “One Three” universe.

As a Primarch, Leon has the highest authority to understand the secrets of the Empire.

In addition, as a descendant of the Emperor, Leon knew that his father had already worshipped him as a god because of the people of the Empire, and that this could not be reasonably cured, so he was ready to let nature take its course and create a new department based on the “Human Code”, namely-

The Imperial Church.

In addition, the Biological Department is also analyzing and studying the cloned flesh and blood technology of the “One Three” universe to create a special force dedicated to preaching and fighting heresy, that is, combat nuns and combat knights.

The Inquisition needed to concentrate on dealing with the warp, so in order to share the pressure, his father was going to establish the Empire State Religion and the State Religion Army.

The ugly video of the “One Three” Pope leaked out, which would naturally greatly weaken the people’s faith.

Moreover, the “One Three” universe has no network and AI, and it can’t stop the infrastructure and communication of the human empire at all.

After the Pope fell into a coma due to extreme panic, Leon showed a look of disgust on his face and increased the strength of his left hand.

Bang——!

The Pope’s head fell to the ground like a watermelon, and was directly crushed by Leon Shuo’s left index finger and thumb.

Blood and brain tissue splattered everywhere.

This caused almost all the noble heirs who were already feeling uncomfortable to vomit.

They were pampered and didn’t need to worry about food, shelter and transportation. They had never seen such a terrifying scene. They immediately shouted “Devil! He is a devil!”, “Run!! Run!” and other words disappeared.

At the same time, the main force of the Dark Angels’ 1st Company had just completed its deployment and arrived on the ground, and the war that broke out in Vienna was coming to an end.

Thousands of adult Astartes, three hundred bodyguards of the Primarch (Glory Guard), even if tens of thousands of Knights of the Order and Sisters of the Church were stationed in Vienna, it would be of no avail.

What’s more, the knights and nuns in Vienna are over three thousand at most.

They are indeed the most elite beings in the entire Holy Roman Empire, but what can they do to resist the Astartes and Glory Guards, who are also the most elite in the human empire?

Coupled with thousands of legion hell paratroopers, more than 100,000 auxiliary troops, and countless biological weapons and mechanical armies, the fall of Vienna was already a foregone conclusion.

Now, the 1st Company of the Dark Angels is thinking that when the original order is given, the time it takes to complete the full occupation of Vienna should not exceed forty minutes.

It didn’t take long.

The sound of gunfire and explosions in Vienna gradually ceased, replaced by the roar of the engines of various air units.

The Holy Roman Empire, which has no air supremacy and orbital control, and even all the forces in the “One Three” universe, are equivalent to defenseless “chickens” facing the Dark Angel’s 1st Fleet.

In other words, the thick clouds covering the Middle East will interfere with the fleet’s high-altitude locking and orbital bombing accuracy. However, since the hell plane has been classified as an “asset” of the human empire, the thick clouds and poisonous fog are quickly dissipating, making it impossible to No further interference will be caused to the 1st company fleet.

After the main force of the 1st Company eliminated the resistance forces loyal to the Holy Roman Empire, they handed over the task of maintaining public security to the joint reconnaissance force and the biological weapons and mechanical army.

The Inquisition, which followed the fleet, also deployed a total of five hundred Gray Knights and Greek minor gods to the city of Vienna.

By the time Hera arrived at the palace in Vienna on the Luna transport boat, the main force of the 1st company, working with combat units from various departments, had gathered the captured nuns, knights and church-related personnel into the streets and squares near the palace.

The Luna transport craft’s aft hatch unfolded.

Dressed in red and dignified, Hera walked out of the cabin surrounded by four Greek minor gods.

And Leon said directly to him: “Ms. Hera, please use your best “spell” to help our Dark Angel select living sacrifices that are suitable for sacrifice.”

“good.”
