Chapter 269 War Is Also a Business
A survivor?
The other party's appearance was beyond Levin's expectation.
He really couldn't imagine how such a thin and weak human girl could survive in this top nest that had long been occupied by demons and the distortion of the warp?
As if she saw hope, the next moment she saw the other party trotting over without hesitation. Even though the girl didn't know where these Astartes came from, she still recognized the Sky Eagle emblem engraved on the chest armor of these warriors from a distance.
There is no doubt that these are the guardians of the empire, although for some reason, the Sky Eagles on these warriors have one more head than those in the state church.
Just a moment later, the thin survivor had already arrived in front of the demigods. While trying not to stare at the sky, the girl raised her head with a little excitement and glanced at the giant in front of her, and said with some curiosity.
"Are you here to save us?"
It was not until then that Levin noticed that the other party's bucket was filled with supplies collected from the surrounding ruins. From his appearance, he seemed to be a servant who provided services to the top nest nobles. When the nobles abandoned the top nest spire, they were left here to fend for themselves.
"We?"
"Do you mean you are not the only one here?"
When she heard this, the girl just nodded vigorously, then raised her hand and pointed to the corner of the street. There was a folk church with a closed door about 300 meters away. Its hidden and remote location may be the main reason why the raptors did not notice it.
Under the girl's leadership, Levin entered the inconspicuous building alone. What surprised them was that the number of people in it was more than they imagined. In a space of less than 200 square meters, there were more than 50 people gathered around the feet of the emperor statue enshrined in the center of the room.
When the survivors saw that the girl who went out to search for supplies actually appeared in the church with an angel, they fell silent at first. After confirming that everything in front of them was not a dream, the small church suddenly fell into a commotion.
"It's a miracle! The angel of the Emperor has come to save us!"
Some people shouted excitedly, praising the name of the Emperor loudly, and some people bowed in the direction of the team members until their foreheads bled. Even the girl just now has become a saint who brings hope in the mouths of some believers.
As new recruits in closed training, Levin and his party's concept of the empire mostly comes from the dream of Saint Gilles, which comes from the 30K era full of hope and glory. In that environment, where have they seen such a scene?
In their opinion, this is simply a kind of pathology, especially the existence of the Emperor's statue is a great insult to the Emperor himself. For a moment, Levin even had the urge to step forward and split the blasphemous object in half with a sword.
What is the difference between such behavior and what Luo Jia and his group did in the past?
Is the destruction of the Perfect City not enough to serve as a warning to future generations?
Why do these prayers sound so similar to Luo Jia's sacred words?
The memories and experiences of the archangel made the Ash Angels present feel a sense of grief.
It was not until this moment that Levin truly realized the true meaning of the words that the think tank chief Mephiston had mentioned: "The empire today is very different from the past." Those people in the mother group deliberately concealed these things. Could it be that they were waiting for him to confirm it personally?
At this moment, he really couldn't believe it. If the archangel was really lucky enough to return to the world again, what kind of feeling would he have in his heart when he saw this scene.
At this moment, an Ash Angel following Levin couldn't stand it after all, and took the initiative to step forward and speak to the believers present.
"The Emperor is not a god! You are blaspheming him! Stop your wrong beliefs immediately!"
The angel in gray power armor was furious. His voice echoed in the small church through the diffusion of the sound array system, as if the ground could not help but tremble.
Facing the anger of an Astartes, the believers present were frightened. The originally noisy auditorium became silent in an instant. These poor people did not know what they had done wrong, but just asked for forgiveness from the angels in a humble tone.
Not long after, the voice of another sergeant came from Levin's built-in communicator.
"What should we do? These mortals may expose our tracks, and we don't have the extra energy to take care of them now."
"Should we abandon them? Or give them a relief."
When hearing this, Levin almost didn't even think about it.
"Sanguinius would never do such a thing, and he would never agree to us doing this."
"Perhaps this era is indeed different from what we know, but this cannot be a reason for us to deviate from the Emperor and Sanguinius' original wishes"
Shortly after the words fell, when Levin looked at the statue of the emperor again, he saw a pure tear rolling down the statue's cheek.
At this moment, in the silent hall, a violent cough suddenly attracted the attention of Levin and others.
Under a candlestick, a middle-aged man who had lost his right arm and whose wound had been infected was curled up in the corner of the church, looking at the gray-armored angel standing at the door with a dull look.
Seeing this scene, the drone following Levin suddenly said in a slightly surprised tone.
"This is really a very appropriate situation."
Under Levin's gaze, it seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing, and then the little thing quickly changed its words.
"Oh no. I mean, maybe you can use the battlefield rescue kit assigned to the team to perfectly solve this problem. This kit, which combines surgery and repair functions, is the main product of the Alliance. Its ability is no less than that of a professional medical team."
"In the war-torn galaxy, this can save countless lives. I think that from the Primarchs who are often seriously injured to the Astra Militarum soldiers who may be eaten alive by aliens at any time, they should give priority to purchasing a set of rescue kits for themselves, so as to save their lives at critical moments and make the Emperor's currency more valuable."
At the end of the voice, the voice from the radio did not forget to add in a slightly annoying tone.
"Please look forward to the Alliance's delivery service~"
Such a blunt statement is just like selling a product.
Now, as a team leader, Levin is completely confused. He really can't figure out what those people in the Alliance are planning to do.
