Where did the Astral Army come from?
Did it emerge from a world of billions of empires?
In this vast world of empires, they all worship the Emperor, and they fight constantly for the Emperor. If the foundation of the Emperor's rule is shaken, there will definitely be big trouble.
Without a constant stream of Star Guardians, can the Space Marines alone hold up the front lines?
In order to truly mobilize the most important military force of this human empire.
At this point, both Guilliman and Zhou Qing needed the support of the state religion; only in this way could they arbitrarily mobilize the main fighting force of this human empire.
After all, although the Emperor had personally appointed Guilliman as the Regent of the Empire.
He personally appointed Zhou Qing as the War Marshal of the Sun Lord Empire.
Only the state religion could truly spread this message throughout the entire human empire.
Only with the recognition of the state religion can this message be transmitted; the status of the state religion is now virtually unshakeable.
Zhou Qing is relatively easy to deal with, but Guilliman is more troublesome.
If Guilliman directly denied his status as the Son of God, then in the eyes of the people who believed in the Emperor, he would be cursing himself and undermining the Emperor's authority.
But if he claims to be God.
These words would be seen by others who held power but had always been suspicious of his actions as evidence that the Primarch was plotting against the Emperor's throne.
If it were the previous Guilliman, this problem might be less significant.
But the Guilliman problem is absolutely huge now.
Zhou Qing provided a full 2,800 million Space Marines, enough to allow Guilliman to launch a civil war far exceeding that of Horus.
Although the Imperial Guards endorsed it, and the Emperor himself spoke on it.
However, most of the imperial nobles were not entitled to hear these words, so they remained suspicious of Guilliman and tried to stop him.
Therefore, the best approach now is for Guilliman himself to avoid this issue, and for Zhou Qing not to take action to purge the state religion.
Even when Zhou Qing saw the group of people from the State Religion, his eyelids twitched so badly that he wished he could have them skinned alive.
However, in order to prevent the human race from completely collapsing in this galaxy, and to prevent all innocent people from dying tragically, Zhou Qing chose to endure.
Of course, doing nothing is not Zhou Qing's way of doing things.
He has already begun looking for a new pope to get rid of the current one, and also to send out a large number of space soldiers to kill those corrupt elements.
Zhou Qing's super brain had almost predicted that the cyber war was coming to an end.
The Chaos God clearly has no way to deal with him, so if those four guys haven't completely lost their minds, then stopping the war would definitely be a wise choice.
As for what they would say next, Zhou Qing's brain had already told him that these chaotic evil gods would inevitably try to start a war throughout the entire human empire.
This tactic would force him to send the psionic Grey Knights and Space Marines to suppress the Chaos armies appearing on various planets and ensure the peace of humanity.
In group combat, the Chaos Demon Charge can only be disposed of like trash.
However, if they are not operating in groups and waging guerrilla warfare across the galaxy, these Chaos Gods still have the advantage.
While individual Psionic Legion soldiers are formidable, if they were to send out forty or fifty Greater Demons to launch a coordinated attack, even the Psionic Legion soldiers would perish in the Northwest.
Zhou Qing has already begun his next plan, now that the Internet War is almost over.
Then the Grey Knights could take on the task of watching over the state religion.
The Black Knight's final decree can now be changed, since the Emperor can now be healed and his humanity has returned.
Therefore, their final decree would no longer need to be set as requiring the emperor to be pushed back down when he stands up.
Zhou Qing planned to discuss with the Emperor whether the Grey Knights' duties could be changed to overseeing the state religion.
At the same time, he will continue to utilize the psionicists on Terra to train more Grey Knights.
In order to effectively supervise the state religion and prepare for the coming of the million-strong human empire, at least 300 million Grey Knights need to be trained.
Three Grey Knights form a group to patrol the state religions of various worlds. Once they discover any signs of corruption, they immediately take action and kill the local state religion priests.
Don't these state church pastors really like to use their defined doctrines to execute these people with white phosphorus and burn those heretics alive?
If the other party is truly guilty, then such actions by the state religion are acceptable.
However, it is also evident how many wrongful convictions and miscarriages of justice have been created during the long course of the state religion.
No matter who it is or what force they are, they will have to pay the price for their actions if it is found out that they were deliberately framed.
So the Grey Knights will kill the State Church priests while they're eliminating the Chaos Demons.
Regardless of the circumstances, while it's impossible to completely change the state of religious superstition, it's still necessary to crack down on it on a small scale.
Chapter 105 The Battle of the Internet is Won
Zhou Qing himself is a true doer; as soon as his idea came to him, he immediately began to prepare for its implementation.
He beckoned over an official from the Ministry of the Interior and then spoke to him.
"Now take my orders and go to the Psionic Academy to transfer 300 million psionics to my laboratory. Also, send all the materials I have listed to my laboratory."
"You're in charge of arranging accommodation for those psionicists; our lab definitely won't have enough room."
Remember to include all the surrounding houses within my lab area, and knock down the walls to give them more space for my experiments.
After understanding Zhou Qing's arrangements, the officials from the Ministry of the Interior nodded immediately, then firmly memorized the task in their books and in their hands, and quickly went to make the arrangements.
The Imperial Guard had warned the Ministry of the Interior that Zhou Qing's orders were the top priority.
Even if Zhou Qing and Guilliman issue orders at the same time, they must execute Zhou Qing's orders first, and then execute Guilliman's orders as appropriate.
Therefore, after receiving Zhou Qing's order, the officials of the Ministry of the Interior immediately took action.
They didn't even need to consult Guilliman before preparing to break through the buildings in the palace.
Zhou Qing, on the other hand, threw himself back into the work of meticulously directing the hunt for demons within the online world.
As long as the Chaos Gods do not order the demons to stop their charge, these warp demons will continue to charge relentlessly.
However, the battle has become simpler now. Zhou Qing has sent out one of his combat robots, and since the robot has already been exposed, he naturally won't take it back.
With a combat robot's Disintegration Cannon supporting the operation, the pressure on all troops was reduced by at least two-thirds. Demons were almost mass-produced and annihilated by the Disintegration Cannon.
At the same time, reduced pressure means that training can be conducted.
Therefore, within the firepower network, Zhou Qing gradually began to spare some demons, allowing them to rush towards his PDF and engage in battle.
Those weakened versions of the psionic legion soldiers who had been transformed into gray knights at the psionic academy were deployed by Zhou Qing to the front lines to engage in face-to-face melee combat with the demons.
Although the Grey Knights' weapons and equipment are powerful and specifically designed to fight demons, Zhou Qing still brought them to the forefront for melee combat.
Zhou Qing didn't understand why an interstellar civilization would engage in close combat at first, but now he does.
Because this interstellar civilization is too abstract, its supply and transportation capabilities are extremely limited.
At the same time, the weapons and equipment that Zhou Qing equipped these ordinary gray knights could only be produced by his own side.
Therefore, once these Grey Knights are deployed throughout the universe, they will not be able to be effectively replenished.
Without any effective reinforcements, they can only rely on their melee combat abilities.
To give them a better chance of survival, Zhou Qing began to train them consciously.
This action undoubtedly gave the demons hope of winning once again.
Although they didn't think they could defeat the imperial army commanded by Zhou Qing, the Chaos God didn't want the war to end so ignominiously.
This war in the warp has attracted the attention of many warp entities, especially the two Greenskins, who have been keeping a close eye on it.
If they were to end up like this, in such a disgraceful manner, wouldn't those four evil gods have no shame left?
Although they may not say it, they must be feeling quite proud of themselves for achieving such a record.
The four of them are indeed the most powerful in the subspace.
However, there are also those who can rival the four of them.
When the four peddlers saw Zhou Qing begin training their troops in close combat, they increased their efforts once again.
More demonic armies were drawn from the warp into the netpath and began their assault.
In particular, Khorne mobilized his army of archdemons and demons to launch an attack. If we're talking about melee combat, who is better at it than Khorne's army?
A frenzied battle ensued, with the two armies engaging in direct, face-to-face combat. This pleased Khorne greatly, and he began to bestow his blessings upon both sides.
Khorne doesn't care whether you're a demon on his side or a human on the other side; he treats everyone the same.
He will bestow blessings upon you all the bravery you display.
Khorne is arguably the most indiscriminate ruler; as long as the war pleases him, and you demonstrate sufficient bravery and fearlessness, that's all that matters.
The blessing from the Chaos God began to be evenly distributed among the Khorne demon army and the human army.
Caught in this predicament, Old Man Huang also began to intervene, and his blessings began to descend upon the human army.
This is his headquarters; his true body is right here.
At the same time, the psychological trauma and losses caused by the cyber war were too great for him. Now that Zhou Qingzheng's troops were avenging him, he was naturally happy to lend a hand.
Watching the demon army being slaughtered in droves, and seeing the human army continuously annihilating the demons of the warp, Old Man Huang was overjoyed.
The war continued for another month or so...
Thanks to Zhou Qing's command and comprehensive plans, the demons suffered devastating losses once again in just over a month, especially Khorne.
He had poured a large number of demons from his own faction into the fight, hoping to witness a very exciting battle.
However, after a month of fighting, he was embarrassed to find that the human empire had suffered almost no losses.
Zhou Qing's almost superhuman command abilities allowed him to continuously direct the human empire's army to slaughter the Khorne demons.
Moreover, whenever the Khorne demon was about to successfully kill a Space Marine, someone would always intervene in time to save them.
So, after more than a month of war, the Chaos Demons were once again embarrassed to find that their army, despite fighting frantically, was still fighting.
However, in a month, the losses they inflicted on the Empire did not even exceed 20 Space Marines, while their own casualties were terrifying.
Finally, the four vendors looked at each other, discussed it, and made a decision.
I'm not playing anymore. Let whoever wants to play, play. The other side is like a machine; they do everything perfectly.
