Warhammer III

Chapter 31: The Supreme Church

"These icons are the symbols and beliefs of the state religion, and they cannot be destroyed directly. Let's find Sebastian's icon first."

After Tai Yue finished speaking, when he was about to leave with Della, a group of church militia patrols discovered the two of them.

"Your Majesty the God Emperor, if you desecrate the sacred image, you will be punished with an additional penalty!"

The leading priest walked over angrily. He held a flamethrower gun in his right hand and a torch scepter in his left hand. The promethium fuel on it was burning.

"Your Majesty the God Emperor, Lord Confessor, the tall man's white robe has a symbol similar to that of the church, but with three more horizontal bars. The other person is wearing a red robe with the symbol of a mechanical gear on it."

A sharp-eyed church militiaman saw clearly the markings on Taiyue and Della, but he did not recognize them.

"The God-Emperor, no matter what the symbol is, the sacred image cannot be desecrated, etc. What symbol?"

"There is a skull in the circle in the center of the capital letter I, with three horizontal bars running through the circle."

"Inquisition!"

Father Confessor took a breath. He had already arrived in front of the two of them and recognized the logo of the Tribunal at a glance. Della of the Mechanicum next to him was directly ignored by him.

"Why did the Lord Judge come here? The bishop and deacon didn't inform us, otherwise I would come to greet you personally!"

The penitent looked frightened, but Della didn't care and asked:

"Your Majesty, God Emperor, what saints are there in the two rows of statues here?"

"The row on the left is the heroes of the Brotherhood of Astartes, and the row on the right is the saints in the history of the Ecclesiarchy!"

"Is the statue of Sebastian Tolle, the great religious reformer and the 292nd Ecclesiastical Pope, here?"

"Your Majesty, God Emperor, walk along the corridor to the center of Lord Thor's icon. It is close to the entrance of the pagan dungeon. The two adults are new here. I can lead the way for you two adults."

After confirming the information, Tai Yue waved to Father Confessor and the patrolmen to leave, no longer listening to his nonsense. The priest quickly backed away before turning around and leaving.

"The secret investigation may not work. Our arrival will soon be known to the bishop here."

Della frowned.

"It doesn't affect our actions. We still need to ask the church people what's going on with the abnormality of the holy elephant."

After a while, the two came to Sebastian's icon. Sebastian in the icon held a parchment in his hand with documents of the religious reform engraved on it. His eyes were deep and focused.

The white marble of the Holy Elephant began to shed dust, and the white powder filling the air was like a mist that could not dissipate for a long time.

At the same time, Archdeacon Adelaide came with a group of Crusaders, ten in total, each equipped with a power sword and storm shield.

The Crusaders are holy and powerful warriors of the Ecclesiarchy. They are extremely loyal to the God-Emperor and the Cardinal. Most of the Crusaders come from the College of the Faithful.

The recent confessor told the news to the church immediately, which attracted Adelaide's attention.

Adelaide came to the two of them, crossed his hands on his chest to imitate the image of a double-headed eagle, then bowed his head slightly, performing the aquila salute of the Human Empire.

"I am a follower of Inquisitor An Wodehouse. The Inquisitor asked us to visit the holy elephant and admire the heroic appearance of the imperial saint."

Considering that corruption might be within the state religion, Della did not explain the purpose of her visit.

"Your Majesty the God Emperor, is this Lord Anwode House?"

Adelaide looked around and found no other people. He could only guess that the person in the white robe was the Inquisitor, although based on his body shape, he should be more likely to guess that he was a Space Marine.

"Lord Ann Wodehouse is still on the ship heading here and will arrive here soon."

Della suddenly changed the subject, looked at Sebastian's holy elephant and said:

"In what year was Lord Sebastian's icon built? The surface of the icon has weathered and fallen off. This is disrespectful to the saint."

"Your Majesty the God Emperor, the holy elephant has been around for hundreds of years. Thank you both for reminding me."

After speaking, Adelaide ordered a crusader beside him to contact the priest in charge of the holy elephant and ask the latter to arrange slaves for maintenance.

"The two distinguished guests can follow me to the Supreme Church to meet Lady Catherine. I will notify the two distinguished guests as soon as Lord Ann Wodehouse arrives."

Tai Yue nodded without refusing and followed Adelaide to the Supreme Church.

In addition to being the most important symbol of Trollope, the Supreme Church is also a military fortress. The 100 load-bearing pillars of the church are equipped with force field generators, which can all be opened to withstand orbital bombing.

To the east of the church is the convent of the Sisters of War, to the south is the headquarters of the Trollope Crusaders and the offices of the Church Militia, to the west is the Emperor's Icon and the Council of Cardinals, and to the north is the Sisters of Medicine and others. of non-combatant nuns.

Soon everyone arrived at the west entrance of the highest church. There was a priest at the door who was responsible for security check. They had to be neatly dressed and pass the security check before they could enter the church.

"Adelaide, what do you mean, do we need to go through security too?"

"Don't get me wrong, you two. This is a necessary process. I hope Haihan will do it!"

"Do you know the identity of the adult in front of you?"

Della angrily said that Adelaide noticed Taiyue who was covered in white robes from the very beginning.

He frowned and finally allowed the security priest to let him go.

Everyone continued to the Emperor's Elephant Hall. The tall marble pillars on both sides of the corridor were carved with exquisite patterns, the top of the arched corridor was painted with brightly colored patterns, and there were exquisite and detailed reliefs in the middle of the steps.

An hour later, everyone arrived at the Imperial Elephant Hall, and Cardinal Catherine stood in front of the Imperial Elephant!
