Warhammer 30k and the Great Tomb of Nazarick

Chapter 128 On the Possibility of Forming a Local Force

Remedios was sitting on the stone steps of the square in the capital of the Holy Kingdom, staring in a daze at Ning Ya who was carrying out the white phosphorus execution.

This square has changed a lot since before Remedios was locked up.

First, the Faceless Men of Ningya erected a statue of Ainz here. Not long ago, the Empire's troops arrived and carried out a thorough cleanup, and the statue of Ainz was destroyed.

But the Emperor did not have time to build it. After all, the statue of the Emperor could not be smaller than the local sorcerer tyrant, so the Word Bearers set up a giant holographic projection device in the square.

In this way, a super-giant holographic image of the emperor, which is 169 meters tall, is projected onto the square 24 hours a day. Because the statue is so huge, this huge three-dimensional projection can be seen anywhere in the capital of the Holy Kingdom.

It must be said that when Remedios first saw this extremely realistic projection, the shock she felt was indescribable. Fortunately, during the short period of contact with the Human Empire, the three views she had formed over the past twenty years had already been shattered by the shock and were numb.

The execution platform for white phosphorus death penalty for Ningya, other high-ranking members of the Faceless Men, and the spies of the Great Tomb of Nazarick was right at the foot of the Emperor's projection. However, now, except for Ningya, the executions of everyone else had ended and the platforms had been removed, leaving Ningya alone in the square.

At this time, Ning Ya's 72-hour white phosphorus death penalty has entered the final few hours. After repeated healing and destruction, Ning Ya can only be said to have begun to take human form.

However, with the technical support of the Mechanicus, Ning Ya's consciousness remained clear, and the strong drugs injected into her blood vessels ensured that she could clearly feel every pain in her body.

Her hatred for the Sorcerous Kingdom and her attachment to the Holy Kingdom were the very beliefs that supported Remedios in persevering through what seemed like endless suffering.

She had imagined countless times how she would take revenge on the Sorcerous Kingdom and how she would treat those human enemies who betrayed the Holy Kingdom if she had the chance.

But now she just sat here and stared.

For some reason, after returning, I discovered that the human empire that claimed to be from another world had completely wiped out all the forces of the Sorcerous Kingdom, destroyed the demi-humans in the Holy Kingdom, and liquidated the traitors headed by Neia.

She didn't seem to need to do anything more.

But... a human empire from another world?
Bartel did tell her that they were humans from another world, and that the twinkling stars in the sky were actually incredibly large stars, so far apart from each other that even the best horse could not reach them even if it ran day and night for ten thousand years.

And in such a universe, humans are the absolute overlords, sailing among the stars in huge ships made of steel, conquering all the worlds within sight in the name of the Lord of Mankind, the eternal and immortal Holy Emperor.

Because they were so outrageous, Remedios had only selectively believed those things that she thought were not so outrageous.

For example, Bartel is a powerful modified warrior. Although Remedios doesn't know what genetic modification and Space Marines are, it doesn't matter. She knows nothing about magic anyway, so to her, there is no difference between a genetically modified super warrior and a magic-modified warrior.

And there was also what Battelle had said, that there would be reinforcements. Yes, reinforcements. Under the circumstances at that time, having a hope of reinforcements to look forward to was more important than anything else.

But Remedios never expected that what Bartel said was true.

It turns out that humans can be so powerful.

It turns out that human beings are the most noble life in this world.

It turns out that conquering the universe is mankind's destiny.

"Great God Emperor, please guide me."

The belief in the God-Emperor was something she learned from the warriors called the Word Bearers when she returned to the Holy Kingdom, which was different from what Bartel said.

In Battelle's words, although the Emperor is infinitely powerful, perfect, and immortal, he is still a human being, the greatest, most perfect human being who will rule over all humans forever.

But the Word Bearers warriors told Remedios that the Emperor, or the God-Emperor, was a god, the protector of mankind, and the god of mankind, the great, the only true God.

This statement even came from the Emperor's child, the Primarch, Pope Lorgar himself. Remedios didn't know which one to believe. Out of personal habit, it was somewhat unrealistic for her to believe that an eternal, almost omniscient and omnipotent being was a human being, so Remedios preferred to believe that the Emperor was a god.

Yes, only God, only the Emperor of God can bring salvation to mankind.

Remedios closed her eyes and prayed quietly.

"how do you feel?"

Bartel, wearing a white robe, walked out from the side and came to Remedios’ side.

"Honestly, I don't know what to do. I have never experienced such a sense of security as being protected by a great being in my life. It feels so good to be a subject of the God-Emperor."

Bartel nodded and continued:

"You still believe what the Word Bearers say."

"You are obviously together, but you have different opinions on whether the emperor is a man or a god?"

"The empire is huge, bigger than you can imagine."

Remedios closed her eyes and took a deep breath, then she hugged Bartel.

“Thank you. If it weren’t for you, I would probably have always been a toy of the Sorcerous Kingdom. Thank you, thank you, thank you for saving me, saving the Holy Kingdom, and saving humanity.”

Remedios buried her head in Bartel's broad chest. After a while, she raised her head with red eyes, and Bartel could feel that her robe was a little wet.

Because of the huge projection of the Emperor, there is now an endless stream of new followers of the Imperial State Religion coming to the square to worship, and many of them know Remedios.

Of course, the Empire had already broadcast Remedios's experience, so generally no tactless people would take the initiative to step forward. But at this moment, Remedios, the former leader of the Paladins, suddenly threw herself into the man's arms, which still attracted many people to stop and watch.

Remedios felt the gazes of the people around her, and a faint blush spread across her face.

Bartel coughed lightly, then swept his sharp eyes around the scene. People turned their heads away, and Bartel continued:

"It's okay. Saving humanity is our mission. By the way, I have something to tell you."

"Please tell me if there is anything you need from me. I will do my best."

"Just now, news came from the Mechanicus that they have seized what is suspected to be the real lair of the Sorcerous Nation. Many victims were found inside and they also want to transport them here. As someone who has experienced this, you can go and help them."

"No problem, I will help them get out of the shadows."

"Also, I heard that the Primarch of the Word Bearers wants to establish a local armed force here. Those of you who have been directly persecuted by the Sorcerous Kingdom are the first choice candidates."

"Local armed forces?"

"Yes, we are going to form an army with your local people. Don't worry, we will always provide help and guidance until you are on the right track."

"Okay. No problem. I also want to contribute to the empire."
