Warhammer: My brother is the Emperor

Chapter 12 Imperial Truth



The Bubble Hill is a river valley with a humid and rainy climate and high livability, which is rare on the wasteland planet, so the Holy Kingdom uses this place as its capital.

During the rainy season, the river's water level will surge, flooding both banks. The capital of the Holy Kingdom is built on the mountains on both sides.

After wiping out the technological barbarians of the Holy Kingdom, Said moved south with lightning speed to Mount Shuipao and surrounded the capital of the most powerful force.

At this moment in Rebirth Town, Squirt found Said and said: "Sir, Sir Said, we have technology hunters in the city. We can contact them to cooperate internally and externally..."

But Said waved his hand and said: "No, the fact that the mechanic helped me has not been made public yet. In the eyes of outsiders, it is still neutral. Once the inside and outside are combined, it will destroy the neutral status and the gain will not be worth the loss."

Squirt nodded in agreement. He was just showing an attitude to prove his loyalty.

At this time, Said asked; "By the way, how much do you know about subspace?"

Squirt thought for a while and said: "Subspace is the super-light speed channel in the golden age of mankind. Later, the channel was cut off, leading to the decline of mankind."

Said continued to ask: "Do you know why it was cut off?"

Squirt thought for a while and replied: "There is a storm in the subspace, and the ship cannot sail in it."

Said then asked, "Why did the storm occur?"

Squirt guessed: "I heard it's because... a powerful existence appears in the subspace and humans are not allowed to pass!"

Said nodded: "This guess is correct. These powerful beings claim to be gods, trying to break through the barrier between subspace and the material world, and persecute human beings!"

Squirt hesitated: "The mechanic doesn't like the name God..."

Said shook his head: "I don't like it either. You can think of them as powerful creatures that live in subspace, are immortal, break through barriers through human faith, and harm the real universe."

"For example, Auckland, who believes in the Holy Nation, is the incarnation of one of the evil gods. The evil god's pollution is irreversible, and we must eliminate it indiscriminately!"

"Do you understand what I mean? Your Excellency, Great Sage! You advocate materialism and deny the existence of gods. No one should believe in gods, right?"

"This..." Squirt hesitated, which meant that Said would carry out a large-scale purge of the religious forces in Bubble Hill. The process would be so extreme that even the mechanics would not recognize their relatives.

Then he promised: "Mechanics will not believe in any gods. If they appear, they will be regarded as heretics. We support the leader's purge!"

The Mechanic's advocacy of materialism, xenophobia, and authoritarianism is closer to the truth of the Empire than the technical idealism of the Mechanicus.

So he smiled and said: "Grandmaster Squirt, can you take some of your time to get to know the Emperor?"

At this time, the attack on the Bubble Hill began. Tanks and artillery roared, blasting gaps in the wall. A large number of puppets entered and easily broke through the city gate defenses.

The main force in Bubble Hill had been wiped out by Said long ago. The remaining troops at this moment were no more than mere mortals, armed with bayonets and flintlock guns. They were no match for explosive tanks and armored vehicles.

Whenever the puppet swept a shuttle, it immediately collapsed and fled towards the city.

So Said removed the big guys and handed them over to ordinary puppets for training.

Thirty thousand ordinary puppets swarmed forward, wielding chainswords and spears, and using the cover of explosive bombs to kill mortals.

There were inevitable casualties during this period, but more puppets were strengthened and turned into big guys. By the time the town was pacified, Said's big guys increased to 32,000.

The surrendered soldiers were slaughtered, for they were all blessed by Khorne, and the remaining civilians and slaves, a total of one hundred thousand, knelt in the square to express their submission to the new conqueror.

Said manipulated the puppet and announced loudly: "The Holy Kingdom believes in evil gods, harms the people, and creates killings, and everyone can be punished!"

After speaking, he waved his hand, and the tanks roared, knocking down the Auckland Temple in full view of the public, announcing the end of the faith.

Immediately afterwards, the puppet loudly said: "Except for the army, many of you have been contaminated by evil gods and have become windows to their poisoned world. You must be purified!"

Then he waved his hand and said calmly: "Let's get started!"

At this moment, a huge tent was set up on the other side of the square, and civilian slaves were organized into groups and passed through the tents one by one.

Some civilians had the courage to ask: "Excuse me, sir, what is purification?"

His answer was a spear pierced through the chest. Under the shock of death, slaves and civilians obeyed, their faces full of despair and numbness.

In their eyes, Said is no different from the previous technological barbarians, and they all regard human life as nothing.

Said did not want to waste human resources, but Chaos Contamination could not be left to chance.

In the setting of Warhammer, even reading a book pointing to the evil god of the subspace may cause the entire planet to be dragged into the subspace and become the plaything of the evil god.

It is either plagued with rampant plagues, bloody battles, or filled with dirty desires. Human beings cannot survive there.

In order to avoid this situation, Said must eliminate the root cause and leave no chance.

When the civilian team enters the tent, they will be inspected by the puppet. At this time, the emperor will inform who is contaminated by the evil god, and then the puppet will take the target outside the city for "purification".

A large pit has been dug outside the city, and the polluters also knew the fate they faced, but they did not resist, but accepted it all passively and numbly.

Because the previous Holy Kingdom warlords had gone too far, Said at least did not let them die in front of their families, but took them away in the name of exorcising evil spirits.

Before leaving, they saw that the uncontaminated family members were given food, clothing, and clean water. The previous warlords did not do this.

In addition to the constant removal of heretics, Said was definitely a benevolent ruler.

The puppet blindfolds the polluter, gives him a painless death, and throws him into a deep pit to bury him.

Said felt a little uncomfortable. In his eyes, life was the emperor's currency, and manpower should be cherished and not wasted.

The Emperor saw through Said's thoughts and said: "We have no choice, Said. To save more of humanity, they must die."

"Even if we let them go, one day in the future, their souls will fall into the hands of the Chaos Evil God, and their lives will be worse than death. It will also affect the entire human race in the world..."

Said nodded: "I understand, brother Huang, there is no need to explain, but I think the empire's truth should be added, and let brother Huang replace these gods and guide them!"

The emperor refused verbally: "Sayed! The imperial truth abolishes religion and makes human beings no longer afraid, ignorant and superstitious. There is no need for new gods, do you understand?"

Said said calmly: "I know, but faith is a rigid need, just like a woman. If you don't satisfy it, someone else will."

The emperor said calmly: "The truth of the empire is faith, isn't it enough?"

Said shook his head: "Not enough. In the dark age, these stupid people need heroes. It's not the truth. Either the emperor becomes a hero, or Chaos becomes a hero!"

The emperor was silent, thought for a while, and replied: "I can be a hero, but I will never be a god! Do you understand?"

Said was overjoyed: "I understand Brother Huang, there is no conflict between personal worship and materialism. Before promoting the truth of the Empire, I will add one more: Human beings should absolutely obey the leadership of the Emperor!"

At the same time, in Rebirth Town, Said preached to Squirt and others:

"The Emperor is the Lord of mankind. In the darkest moment of mankind's eternal night, he is like a beacon, illuminating our direction. Only by following the Emperor unconditionally can mankind survive in the dangerous galaxy!"

"And I am the Emperor's envoy, here to guide you back to the Emperor's embrace and make humanity great again!"

Imperial Truth: The ideological trend advocated by the Emperor at the beginning, materialism (denial of all gods), xenophobia (racial hysteria), authoritarianism (personal dictatorship)
