Warhammer 40K in a box

Chapter 9 Various Groups
After the explanation and persuasion of Sage Olivia, Chen Xi gave up the idea of ​​creating his own forging world.

But the idea of ​​getting a forge and a casting ark for Sage Olivia so that she can provide herself with various weapons and equipment is still burning strongly.

After all, as a traditional Seres, Chen Xi would never allow his logistics to be controlled by others, and all weapons and equipment supplies had to be purchased.

Sage Olivia was obviously also very interested in having her own forge and casting ark, so the two sides hit it off and reached a cooperation agreement that Olivia would first help Chen Xi develop Rostov II, and then Chen Xi would help Olivia build a forge on the satellite of Rostov II and get her a casting ark.

After the two parties reached a cooperation agreement, Olivia removed the soundproof force field. Although the others waiting around were curious about what the sage and the governor talked about, there was no doubt that Chen Xi's identity as Judge was enough to make everyone give up asking.

After all, this is just a newly developed remote imperial colonial world, and there are no nobles who want to go against the Inquisition.

After reaching a cooperation agreement with Sage Olivia, Chen Xi, as the governor, also met other important figures on the planet.

"Governor, this is General Gregory of the Planetary Defense Force. He is responsible for the main command and training of the Planetary Defense Force." Rachel stood beside Chen Xi and diligently introduced the various people in front of him to him.

"Greetings, respected Judge!" Gregory, dressed in a formal military uniform, saluted Chen Xi, but the address he gave was not Governor, but Judge.

Chen Xi looked at him briefly, noticing the Mortal Eagle Medal hanging on his chest. He smiled and asked, "Have you ever served in the Star Army?"

"Yes, I once served in the 514th Valhalla Regiment of the Astra Militarum as a major, although that was seventy years ago." Gregory answered Chen Xi, puffing out his chest with pride.

Although there was only one mortal Skyhawk there, and although this medal was nicknamed the 'Boring Hero', it still symbolized courage and honor, as well as abilities and qualities that surpassed those of ordinary Astra Militarum.

Being able to receive this medal is enough to prove that Gregory was once an outstanding officer of the Astra Militarum.

This made Chen Xi very satisfied, but he also noticed that he mentioned the word 'Valhalla'.

"Valhalla? Are you the Valhalla Ice Warriors?" Chen Xi showed a surprised expression. He hadn't expected that the retired Astra Militarum troops on this planet would actually come from this unit. "So this planet must be very different from your homeland, right? Will you find it difficult to get used to it?"

"As members of the Astra Militarum, we have been to many worlds in service to the Empire. Most of them are very different from our hometowns, and we have long been accustomed to them." Gregory acted very calmly about this, but Chen Xi could still read the nostalgia for his hometown in his eyes.

Typically, an Astra Militarum soldier would serve the Imperium for twenty years, during which time they would rarely have the opportunity to return to their homeland.

When the twenty-year service period is over, the Ministry of Military Affairs will usually allow them to retire en masse on the spot, transfer them to their respective imperial worlds, and directly transfer the command level of the legion to the local ruling class.

For example, a regimental colonel can obtain the position of planetary governor, and officers at all levels will quickly replace various important positions on the planet.

Of course, to enjoy this privilege, one must first survive the brutal battlefield, where the average survival time is 15 hours. "You have poured so much effort into the Rostov II over the years. I hope it has become your new home." Chen Xi said nothing more, simply nodding to Gregory.

"Greetings, respected Governor! I am your court treasurer, you can call me Ochumelov." A fat man who looked slick at first glance stood in front of Chen Xi and saluted him respectfully before Rachel could introduce herself.

Looking at this fat man who fits Chen Xi's stereotype of a financial officer very well, Chen Xi did not look down on him.

Instead, she nodded slightly at him and said, "As the palace treasurer, I hope you are ready to fulfill your duties. I am not familiar with the financial situation of this planet. I hope you can compile a brief report on the current financial situation of the planet and submit it to me as soon as possible so that I can make future financial plans."

"This is my job. Please rest assured that the report will appear on your desk within three days." Although Ochumelov looks very slick, he does not seem to be an incompetent waste.

Chen Xi seemed very satisfied with his attitude, and even patted him on the shoulder affectionately to show his trust and closeness.

After these two, there were other prominent figures from other planets who came to pay their respects to Chen Xi, but most of them were not worthy of extra remembrance.

At least Rachel didn't introduce them, which also shows that they are not important key figures.

After these people, a priest of the state religion came before Chen Xi. He saluted Chen Xi and then spoke: "Greetings to you, respected Governor. The Bishop is old and cannot come in person. He has specially asked me to convey his apologies to you and congratulate you on your appointment as Planetary Governor.

If you are willing to take the time to go to the Ecclesiarchy Cathedral, His Eminence will personally preside over a Mass for you. May you receive the Emperor's blessing."

"Please convey my gratitude to His Eminence the Bishop for his blessing." Chen Xi displayed considerable respect and enthusiasm for the State Church. "If the State Church needs anything, please feel free to ask. Spreading the faith for the great Divine Emperor is the responsibility of every one of us."

"Your piety is as bright as the stars!" The priest seemed very happy that the new governor was a pious person, but he did not say much. He just expressed his blessing to Chen Xi and then stepped aside.

However, the priest still emphasized to Chen Xi that he hoped he could visit the Anglican Church when he was free.

Of course Chen Xi kept this in mind. After all, in the Warhammer world, believing in the Emperor is really useful, and the state religion can really drive away evil spirits!

If you don't want some chaotic things to grow on your planet, you must maintain good relations with the state religion and strongly support them.

Of course, we must also carefully distinguish the factions of the state religion to avoid the mixing of extreme factions.

You have to know that some extreme factions within the state religion are even more insane than the Chaos Cult, and many of their behaviors are not much better than those of the cult.
