Crown of Chaos

Chapter 330, The Emperor discusses faith

As always, the emperor always used silence to give people a sense of oppression. After he finished explaining his purpose, he stood there without making any sound.

But after all, Aaron had dealt with the Emperor many times. After being nervous at the beginning, his expression gradually recovered and he simply told the Emperor about Lorgar.

The emperor frowned slightly after listening to Aaron's description: "This is not surprising, La, Lorgar followed in your footsteps. This is not the first time, and it will not be the last time. You Learn to get used to it."

Steady and cold, his seemingly cold words contained great majesty and oppression. The Lord of Mankind once disguised himself out of necessity. He would laugh in front of Horus and show some appropriate expressions in front of Sanguinius. He expressed joy and would adjust the atmosphere at the banquet and make some jokes, but the soul of this big golden warboss was cold. As the founder of the human empire and the lord of mankind who had lived for more than 40,000 years, his soul had already Already numb.

Lorgar's defeat was only temporary. The Emperor felt no joy. This joy was not even as good as the Gray Knights' defeat of the demon primarch Angron at Armageddon. At least the Gray Knights defeated Angron at least 100 Years cannot return to the main material universe.

Seemingly realizing that Aaron's current strength was far from being able to truly fight the original body, the Lord of Humanity finally slowed down his tone and looked a little gentler: "But victory is victory, and a trivial victory is also victory."

"I need your help, Your Majesty."

Thinking of Luojia's threat to him, Aaron reluctantly suppressed the resistance in his heart and took the initiative to speak.

"Oh? Do you finally know that you want to ask me for help? La?" The emperor remained expressionless.

"I can do it myself, but there are too many things I have to do, and I don't want to waste my precious time on meaningless things."

Aaron frowned and said. His words were fast and urgent. There was always a sense of oppression when talking to the emperor. Not all words could be said easily. He needed to finish his words as soon as possible.

"Yes." The emperor nodded: "You have always been afraid of me, just like you are afraid of the four gods of chaos. You are only willing to put all your trust in your goddess Su Lun. Now, you can walk through this heart. , I am very happy to know that you can ask me for help, la, this is not a shameful thing, wasting existing resources, wasting time and missing opportunities is the stupidest behavior."

The Lord of Mankind spoke his truth in a Gujing Wubo tone, as if he was sharing his wisdom with his own tribune: "I also once walked in the mortal world in the name of the Apostle of the Four Gods. This is not a shame. , when you need to resolve the main contradiction, you can make appropriate compromises on the secondary contradictions, and recognizing who is the main enemy at this moment is a valuable talent."

"Tell me, La, what do you want?"

Aaron looked at the Lord of Humanity, thinking about what he wanted to do, and slowly said: "I need your technology to create space warriors."

"..." The Lord of Humanity was silent for a moment, seeming to be thinking about what Aaron meant, and then said: "In this matter, I need to show you something, La."

With a casual gesture from the emperor, the surrounding environment transformed from the Huimin Library in late autumn to an ancient Roman-style courtyard in autumn. Under the scent of birds and red leaves, Lorgar Aurelion, the Word Bearer, was wearing a uniform. Wearing a bronze robe, he was sitting behind a bench writing "The Book of Holy Words". At this time, Lorgar did not look like a madman at all, an apostle spreading the gospel of chaos. At this time, he looked more like a possessor of lofty moral character and great ideals. A priest, he held a pen and wrote down the emperor's quotations on the scroll in detail and enthusiastically, sometimes with joy on his face, sometimes with sadness and tears.

"Tell me, Ra, what did you see?" The Emperor said to Aaron: "Just what you saw."

Aaron said subconsciously: "It's Luojia. The Great Word Bearer has not fallen yet."

"Don't recite his name and his story! Tell me, Ra, what do you see with just your sight?"

"A man, a devout believer, was recording the sayings of a man of his faith."

"Very good." The emperor finally nodded: "Then what do you think is the difference between the current Lorgar and the later demon primarch? Don't rush to answer, just listen to me first."

"Long before I met Lorgar, he was a devout man." The emperor narrated: "He was told from the moment he was picked up that people cannot be without faith. He was taught any joy, anger, sorrow, and fear. They were all gifts from God. He was told that all of this was God's will. The meaning of his life was only to glorify the true God. The existences of the subspace responded to his offerings. They gave him strength and protected his city and church. His followers grew in number, but while other cities were conquered, Lorgar's people were protected by the power of his faith. He used this power to keep them alive, hiding from their pursuers. Hundreds Men and women gathered under his command to give thanks to the gods he served.”

"Yet new miracles require new sacrifices, Ra. More sacrifices are needed. People always use results to justify the purpose. It was a moral issue at first. If the unification he dreamed of can be continued, What does it matter if you sacrifice other mortals?"

"Soon, in order to achieve unification, Lorgar's behavior became more and more cruel. He would either peacefully take over a city that was willing to convert, or massacre an entire stubborn city in the name of heresy. If the death of an opponent can guarantee ten years Peace, what does murdering him mean? If offering enough blood can glorify his true God, then what does the death of a child mean? Do you understand all this?"

Aaron nodded: "The devils of the Nine Hells always seduce mortals through small favors like this, and in the end mortals will pay a heavy price for it."

"The same is true for the Four Gods." The Lord of Humanity couldn't help showing a hint of relief: "So now, you have understood the essence of faith."

"As we see now, a devout, slightly ambitious man was drugged by complacency, and was lured into it step by step." The emperor pointed at Lorgar: "As his status became more and more prominent, he found that he His people were so easily incited that he could order them to die for him or to conquer cities in his name, and they were so depraved that they committed appalling atrocities for the sake of so-called justice, and their superstition and ignorance made them sink deeper and deeper."

"All disasters arise because of Lorgar. My son, he is so good at deceiving people and believes wholeheartedly in the power of the Four Gods of Chaos. As time goes by, Lorgar also discovers the endless desires of the Four Gods of Chaos, but He also delusions that he can control or even conquer it. For his great goal, he will offer more tributes. For his so-called justice, he does not care how much sacrifice he makes. When his personal goal is satisfied, he will Stop here? Or seek more divine grace from the Four Gods of Chaos at the expense of his people in 'the name of the people'?"

"You have already understood the development process of faith from the evolution of Hui people society. Yes, I have used thirty thousand years of practice to prove that no matter how good the original teachings of all universal churches are, their final destination is Luojia -Aurelion."

"You are right to criticize Luojia. Luojia does not care who he believes in, whether it is the Four Gods, me, or the Star God, living or dead, made of stone, wood, or iron. It doesn't matter whether it's made of clay or made of clay. Luojia just needs a god so that he can take other people's lives and commit the most cruel atrocities in the name of faith. It doesn't matter what he believes in. What matters is what he dedicated to them. Delicious food.”

"Ignorance, superstition, arrogance, fear," the Emperor concluded coldly: "I have seen the noblest human beings, and I have also seen the stupidest. If Magnus is just stupid, then Lorgar is Simply bad.”

"How does Your Majesty view the true gods in the kingdom? For example, the Silver Virgin?" Aaron asked curiously.

"She is more like a powerful creature of a higher dimension." The emperor said in a rare tone without any hint of blame: "In terms of strength alone, I also have similar power, so let me ask you, La, am I a god? "

"...Of course your Majesty is not a god, your Majesty is your Majesty." Of course Aaron would not give the wrong answer. He finally understood: "I understand what your Majesty means. Maybe I have to embark on the road to becoming a god because of the situation. , but I will never let ignorance and arrogance overwhelm me like Luojia did. I will never forget my original intention and keep my mission in mind."

"The deeper you understand faith, religion, and human nature, the firmer your sword hand will be, La." The emperor finally got the answer he wanted from Aaron: "Then, this is it. , I will teach you the technology of making space warriors... Although I originally obtained this technology from the Four Gods, remember my words, La, don’t let faith influence you, you have always been your own master, right What?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Aaron watched as the Emperor diffused a golden ball of light from his forehead and poured it into his mind.

That's how Space Marines are made.

"Good, you never let me down."

…………

When Aaron walked out of the Huimin Library, everyone felt the changes that had taken place in him. Compared with the previous Aaron, there seemed to be something missing and something more in him.

"Pass my order." Aaron said in a deep voice to everyone: "The autumn offensive ended with a complete victory! Plant our purple dragon flag on the top of this monastery!"

The Viscount raised his fist against the gray dome of the monastery: "Everyone, please join us and enjoy this victory!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" Egil, the great dragon sitting on the pile of treasures, first raised his hand, followed by the half-dragon sisters and the kobold tribe behind her. The cheers started from Maximian. The news of the black vulture guard spread, and everyone present felt honored.

A battle, just a battle!

Their Lord Viscount basically conquered the Hurek Forest through just one battle in the Hurek Forest Ambush. In addition to the Lizardman Reserve and the Sacred Forest Reserve, new land, new villages, captures from the war, and monastery books The wealth of the museum now belongs to them!

This is simply like a dream. You must know that reclaiming a piece of land in the country often requires paying a huge price. Public security wars that last for decades or even centuries, and countless monsters for descendants and descendants.

And now, the battle is successful, how can this not make the soldiers cheer?

Good times are coming!

"Long live His Excellency the Viscount!"

"Long live! Long live! Long live!"

As Aaron stepped out of the monastery, the tsunami-like cheers of the more than two thousand people outside resounded through the forest, startling countless birds.

After leaving some necessary defenders behind, the Sunset Army officially announced its departure. Before the first snow fell, the army withdrew to Sunset Town and announced its disbandment on the spot.

The Hurek Forest Conquest conquered a total of 3,500 square miles (about 9,000 square kilometers) of new territory, and obtained 90,000 acres (about 36,000 hectares, 360 square kilometers of arable land) without destroying the forest. ).

Based on the 3,000 acres of a standard barony, Aaron, the Viscount of Sunset Territory, is already equivalent to the size of 30 standard barons! If all are taken out, nearly 400 knights, 800 knight attendants and 10,000 infantry can be divided.

According to the standards of his previous life, Aaron conquered nearly half of the Principality of Wales.

So many new lands made the soldiers who participated in the war extremely jealous, and even the adventurers who participated in the war felt jealous.

Some adventurers have decided to stay and settle here.

land! wealth!

In addition to the land conquered, this war provided Aaron with a total of 85,000 gold lion coins seized (mostly from Hui people monasteries), the establishment of a Wild Hunting Temple, the joint management of a Druid Sacred Forest, and the occupation of Hui people. A folk monastery.

Aaron Salian's name completely resounded throughout the north of the country.

After the victory, Aaron took the opportunity to carry out a large-scale reorganization of the Ninth Shepherd Legion. He announced the expansion of the army and increased the approved number of Shepherd Legion from 1,000 to 1,600.

Among them, there are 50 black vulture guards, and the leader is the monk Maximian.

There are 300 people in the Lancer Battalion, and the battalion commander is Norrington, the Purple Dragon Knight.

There are 300 people in the crossbow battalion, and the battalion commander is the Purple Dragon Knight Haver.

The Swordsman Battalion has 300 people, and the battalion commander is Ramsay, the Purple Dragon Knight.

There are 120 people in the Dwarf Firearms Battalion, and the battalion commander is the dwarf master Kim Gong Fire Mark. This group of dwarves feels that they are very happy with Aaron and plan to settle here.

There are 80 members of the Dragon Teeth Marines, led by the young pirate Edward Teach (their official warship is still under construction).

The Snow Elf "Fisher" Magic Archer Battalion has 150 people, and the captains are Relta Miyuki and his sister Evanna Miyuki.

The Blood Sword Great Swordsman Battalion has 180 people, and the battalion commander is Doherty-Blood Sword.

There are also the army's medical group, the army's chaplain group and the army's mage group, as well as some scattered ones, such as the half-dragon army under the command of the great dragon and the kobold army led by Quinn. The total number is about 1,600 people, of which 1,000 people still have military pay. The royal family of Oberszil paid the military salary for the remaining 600 people, and Aaron began to pay for it.

In late November of 1362 in the valley calendar, the army returned to Sunset Town. The remaining elf princess Buyer and the secretary's cousin Robert held a triumphal ceremony for the returning army. At the triumphal ceremony, Aaron publicly announced two more good news.

First, the military report of victory has been sent to the capital Susar as soon as possible to declare victory to Her Royal Highness the Queen Regent!

Second, we will disband today and pay at the school grounds tomorrow. Do not bring armored soldiers!
