Warhammer 30k and the Great Tomb of Nazarick

Chapter 92 High Mass Begins

Many buildings in the previous church area collapsed due to the attack of the Nazarick Great Tomb troops. In order to hold a high mass this time, boost morale, and spread the state religion, Luo Jia ordered the original square to be cleaned up in advance, and the surrounding damaged buildings should also be cleaned up to free up a large enough space.

With the operation of the Space Marines, Knight Mechs and Mechanicus, this little thing was easy, and soon Lorgar got the square he wanted.

Previously, the cathedral district housed more than 20,000 refugees. When the troops from the Great Tomb of Nazarick broke through the front line, almost all the refugees in front of the cathedral district died, but many survived in the back. When Luojia counted the number of survivors, there were still 5,889 people.

They are the first group of believers of the state religion developed here. They have seen the power of the Divine Emperor, and now they should also see the grace of the Divine Emperor.

In order to allow them to fully see the gift of the God-Emperor, Luo Jia specially ordered people to build several huge temporary viewing stands, which were large enough to accommodate all the survivors. When he held the high mass later, these viewing stands would be lifted by knight mechas.

Those sitting at the front of the square are those who have received the most blessings from the Emperor in previous battles. Some of them have been resurrected from the dead, some have wings on their backs, and some have halos on their heads (this one is not used to it yet, it is currently a passive function and cannot be turned off).

These people came from all over, including Space Marines and members of the Mortal Auxiliary Forces. The total number was thirty-nine, the most conspicuous of whom was Abaddon of the Luna Wolves.

This powerful Space Marine once boasted of his extraordinary physique, and now he is second only to the Primarch in height. The golden light in his eyes is so bright that you don't even need a flashlight to walk with him at night.

Luojia gave them a new title - living saints.

They are the direct carriers of the power of the God-Emperor and the embodiment of his will, so Luojia decided to add them to the belief system of the state religion.

Several living saints headed by Abaddon who still believed in the truth of the Empire always felt uncomfortable about this, but the Emperor's miracle was before their eyes, and they themselves were even part of the miracle. Besides, how could they argue with Lorgar, the only Primarch at present? Naturally, they could only choose to accept it.

Later, Luojia arranged for Governor Jim, Barn, Major Arthur Kripton of the 957th Independent Heavy Armored Regiment, and Sage Turing Zeta, heroes who had performed well in previous battles.

Among them, Major Arthur felt the most awkward. Nurgle's foul-smelling warp portal first appeared around their spaceship. As an officer in charge of intelligence, Major Arthur always believed that it was his responsibility. Now, if he was not sentenced to death by white phosphorus, Arthur felt uneasy.

As a result, he was allowed to stand here as a hero, which made him even more ashamed.

But for Colonel Yaika Lukashenavich, he could only stand here.

In fact, he was able to stand here thanks to Colonel Yaika. After discovering that there was a problem with his spaceship, the colonel fought desperately and achieved very amazing results. Even Arthur, who served as an assistant, became a hero.

Of course, he was able to survive thanks to the current Empire's lack of knowledge about how to deal with the Warp, and the fact that the portal was opened near their spaceship instead of directly from the inside, otherwise the 957th Heavy Armored Regiment would have been wiped out.

As for the even more heroic Colonel Yaika, he died in battle in the end. But now the great Primarch Lorgar said that he would resurrect these heroic souls with the power of the God-Emperor. How could he not be excited?

There were too many people who had lost their loved ones and comrades in the previous war, and they were now staring at Luo Jia with eager eyes.

Without the need for a timer, Luo Jia used his own powerful biological clock to calculate the time for the High Mass to start accurately.

He shouted in a loud and powerful voice

"The High Mass is being celebrated, the Emperor is watching us!"

Hundreds of Word Bearers priests lit the incense burners in their hands and walked around the body of the human hero waiting to be resurrected in the center of the square, singing prayers over and over again.

"Even though my body is broken,

Even though my blood is flowing,

Even though my life is over,
Save me from this moment of pain,
Perseverance is as usual and unyielding,
The immortal emperor will come to meet you.
Holy light surrounds my three-foot body." As they chanted, the mist from the incense burners in their hands (which actually contained nanorobots) slowly formed the image of an Imperial Sky Eagle on the corpse.

The Knights waited for the Word Bearers priests to finish singing the first prayers before raising the spectator stands so that the natives of this world could see what was about to happen.

Standing on the high platform, Lorgar, wearing the triple crown, opened his arms and called out enthusiastically:
"People from other worlds who are drowning in darkness, the light of the God-Emperor will protect you, and the faith of the God-Emperor will save you."

Following Luo Jia's voice, a golden beam of light came down from the sky and shone onto the corpses below.

This beam of light was projected by Luojia from a shuttle in the stratosphere to add to the atmosphere, and of course the effect was outstanding.

"Come, and take refuge in the God-Emperor, the great Lord of mankind. The God-Emperor has boundless power, transcending life and death!"

"Beautiful God Emperor, grant me flesh and blood!"

"Holy God, protect my soul!"

"Great is the Divine Emperor, who has given me new life!"

Following Lorgar's last words, the pillar of light in the sky disappeared temporarily, and the servo skulls began to play holy music. Early in the morning, tens of thousands of lowest-level angels summoned by the Word Bearers priests began to dance in the air under the leadership of thirteen angels of surveillance to create a sacred atmosphere.

Lorgar is also very interested in the magic of summoning angels, and in order to preach in other worlds, it is very important to use methods that they can understand.

The magic of summoning angels in the other world can intuitively let those individuals with little knowledge understand that they are members of the Order camp, and can also directly feel the power of the Empire.

Luo Jia knew that sometimes because the gap in strength was too big, the other party could not accurately judge the strength comparison between the two parties. At this time, using a method that the other party could understand could actually reduce a lot of trouble.

But the time was too short. Although the Word Bearers priests here were also very enthusiastic about learning the magic of summoning angels, they basically only learned the first-level summoning magic.

However, this effect was enough to make John's jaw drop.

Accompanied by angels dancing to sacred music, Lorgar performed his resurrection magic.

As golden lights lit up, the human heroes who had died in battle before returned to this world again.

Among them were Governor Jim's daughter Emilia, Colonel Yaika of the 957th Heavy Armored Regiment, and knights from the native Silian Theocracy.

It’s a pity that the bodies of Barn’s comrades were too damaged before and did not survive, otherwise they might have been resurrected.

Although only a few hundred people were resurrected this time, it was a true miracle for the people in the other world.

It goes without saying that ordinary people, especially those like John who know the concept of resurrection magic, know how terrifying it is to resurrect hundreds of people at the same time.

At the same time, the morale of the empire was also extremely high.

Even though the warriors of the Human Empire are not afraid of death, no normal person would want to die. Now that the God-Emperor has once again proved his power to save them, how can they not be rejoicing.

Luo Jia was also very happy, everything was moving in a good direction.
