Warhammer: Emperor's Ravenbringer

Chapter 22 There is no God in this world

The priest looked extremely ferocious, his eyes wide open and his dagger raised high.

The people below the altar showed fear and anger.

Some people were ready to take action, but in the end they did not dare to resist.

The terror of the vampires has long been deeply rooted in their hearts.

They were very worried that their resistance at this time would lead to bloody revenge in the future.

Some people turned their heads away, not daring to look again.

"In the name of God, die."

The priest shouted in a shrill voice.

"There is no God in this world. The so-called God of Blood is nothing but a monster."

A voice interrupted the priest's actions.

The people around showed incredible expressions.

Who dares to say such disrespectful words in such an occasion? Do you want to die?
The priest froze in place.

His body shook with rage.

He turned his head to look where the sound came from.

Want to find that damn blasphemer.

The next second, he saw a scene that he would never forget.

The emperor, wearing golden armor and shrouded in glory, walked from the crowd to the sacrificial platform.

The crowd spontaneously made way for a path.

People along the way looked at him with shock, surprise and confusion.

If there is a God in this world, the one in front of them is undoubtedly a real God.

"What are you talking about?"

The priest shouted guiltily.

"You know nothing about God, how dare you question His existence."

"There is no God in this world," said the Emperor. "The Blood God you speak of is only a monster that adorns himself with lies."

The priest pointed at the Emperor and shouted to the guards standing nearby.

"Catch this damn heretic."

"Execute him. He must be executed."

The blood clan soldiers, wearing armor and holding spears and swords, rushed forward.

Waldo and the guards behind him activated the halberds in their hands, and the genetic engines in their bodies also switched to combat mode.

"How dare you disrespect my Lord?"

They rushed towards the vampire soldiers at an extremely fast speed, releasing indescribable destructive power.

The heavy halberd was covered with bright arcs of electricity, extremely sharp and as heavy as a mountain.

Just by swinging it, it has amazing destructive power.

Those vampire soldiers armed with crude weapons were chopped to pieces like ants.

In just a few seconds, the square was littered with broken flesh and blood.

Those powerful vampire warriors were all killed in just a few breaths.

The priest holding the dagger showed a look of horror.

He turned around and wanted to run.

But the next second, he was picked up by Waldo like a chicken.

"Who are you?" The priest's body trembled with fear.

The Emperor looked at him coldly: "I am the one who judges you, believer of the false god."

"Do you know who I am? I am a regional priest of the Scarlet Church."

"If you dare to attack me, you are challenging the entire church and the God of Blood."

"Oh no, even in this situation, you still dare to threaten others." The raven flapped its wings and landed next to Waldo, sizing up this cowardly guy.

"Let's make a cross, big guy. Let's roast him till he's sizzling and see if his god will save him."

The Emperor ignored the raven's evil whispers and gave orders to Valdor.

"Execute him."

The priest widened his eyes, unable to believe what the other party said.

The next second, his head flew up, then fell to the ground and rolled several times.

"Now that the priest is dead, the Scarlet Church will never let us go."

"The whole town will be slaughtered. We are doomed."

"Run quickly, the blood clan's army is coming soon. There may be a chance of survival if we flee into the wilderness."

The bloodiness and cruelty of the vampires have long been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Instead of being happy to see the priest dead, the people were so frightened that they wanted to flee.

Even escaping to the wilderness and living with those terrible monsters is better than facing the wrath of the vampires.

"You don't have to be afraid."

The Emperor spoke, his voice full of magnetism. His body glowed, and the brilliant light illuminated this dim world like the sun.

"I am the Lord of the Human Empire, your savior."

This sacred image gave the people who were so frightened that they wanted to turn around and run away a glimmer of hope.

They did not completely believe in the Emperor, but at least they stopped their tendency to escape.

No one fled into the wilderness in panic, causing unnecessary casualties.

"Big guy, aren't you afraid that they will regard you as the new god?"

Raven asked curiously.

“If you want to dispel the belief in false gods, you must show an image that is higher and more sacred than them.”

"If I were to walk around as an ordinary person, these people would definitely not believe me and would only think I was a tyrant."

When the Emperor answered the raven in his inner voice, his tone was helpless.

He is a staunch atheist.

But humans have suffered greatly from the poison of the warp.

The cancer of religious belief has long been deeply bound to the fate of mankind.

In order to destroy faith and promote scientific truth, he had to present a miraculous image.

He also knew that if he continued to look like this, he would definitely trigger a new round of admiration.

But this is the best solution he can think of.

If faith were really so easy to exterminate, there wouldn't be so many wars in human history.

He can't kill every person of faith.

"Well, big guy, you really have an excellent grasp of human nature."

Raven thought of all the argumentative people he had encountered and began to understand the Emperor's approach.

It’s not that the emperor wants to maintain that golden image.

But it has to be done.

The town's vampire rulers soon received news of the priest's tragic death.

He rushed over with his soldiers angrily.

He wants to let these damn humans know who is the master of this world.

Vampires possess strength and speed far beyond that of humans.

After being injured, you can use blood to recover.

To ordinary humans, vampires are an invincible nightmare.

But in front of the Imperial Guards implanted with the Imperial Engine, these vampire soldiers were no different from weeds on the roadside.

Just swing the spear and you can harvest large areas of crops.

There was no suspense in this battle.

The blood clan soldiers rushed over shouting various slogans, and were then slaughtered by the imperial guards.

The entire town was littered with broken limbs.

The air smelled of blood.

The ruler of the town was so frightened that he turned and ran away, trying to use his wings to escape into the sky.

When it flew several hundred meters into the air, it was pierced by the halberd thrown by Waldo and knocked down.

After landing, he was chopped into dozens of pieces by the imperial guards who were chasing him and died quickly.

The woman and her companion were rescued.

They were dressed in rags and had tired eyes, but they had an indomitable will.

Through questioning, the Emperor and his entourage learned that these people were the rebels.

The woman who just shouted "Long live humanity" is named Lucina, and she is a cursed person.

Her parents were also members of the resistance army, but died at the hands of the vampires in their early years.

"The Accursed? The Untouchable?"

Raven can directly see Lucina's soul.

That is a black hole, which is constantly devouring the surrounding ether and soul power.

The Emperor asked Lucina, "What happened to this planet? Why do those mutants rule you?"

Lucina showed a trace of sadness.

"It all started at the beginning of the Age of Strife."

"Humanity's own hypocrisy almost led to the extinction of this civilization."

PS: I was criticized by some book friends for being too harsh. I just need to form the Sisters of Silence and add some buffs to the opponent.

After all, the status of the Sisters of Silence is very high. They are the right-hand men of the Emperor. If they are not loyal to humans, they cannot obtain such a high status.

I have looked up the information and found that the Sisters of Silence were established much later than the Custodians, and were only established during the Great Crusade.

I modified the Scourge of Petacanas to be the origin of the Sisters of Silence, and I plan to equip them with the Silent Engine.

There is only one chapter left to wrap up the main storyline of Petacanas, so don’t worry about it dragging on.

　Thanks to the three book friends Wuxingwangyaojie, Mihuyou’s main painter Meikui, and book friend 20230109223956143 for their rewards.
