Chapter 1052: The Resentful Nun

The Sisters of Silence is an organization with a long history. All members are untouchable to women. They can greatly disturb the operation of psychic rituals just by standing with swords.

This organization is nominally subordinate to the Astronomican, but in essence, like the Imperial Guard, it only obeys the arrangements of the Emperor. In a sense, the Sisters of Silence and the Imperial Guard are the two major military organizations second only to the Emperor, but it is regrettable that the Sisters of Silence did not get the same respected status as the Imperial Guard.

After the Great Heresy, the Imperial Guard stayed in the palace. The Sisters of Silence were forgotten and exiled, forced to disperse to the corners of the galaxy to serve the Emperor silently. They hunted down fallen wizards and suffered a lot of suspicion and scrutiny. Compared with the Imperial Guard, whose bodies were strengthened to the limit, the nuns were just a group of mortals with special restraint on psychic energy, and they could not protect themselves in the face of many misunderstandings from the human empire.

Some nuns died, while others hid their identities and lived alone in remote places with few people, or lived with others and gave birth to children with the same untouchable nature.

When Odemayer learned about these situations from Lin Fan, she was still very surprised. As an ancient organization with great military achievements, it was persecuted to such an extent, which was really incredible.

If it is said that because the Sisters of Silence have the attribute of untouchables and cannot hear the voice of the Emperor, then there is still some explanation. However, the Imperial Guards who have fought with the nuns for so long also chose to turn a blind eye, which really made Odemayer incomprehensible.

In the end, they could only put these pots on Tzeentch, but Odemayer was very dissatisfied with this kind of bottom-line rhetoric. After thinking about it, she felt that she had to vent the anger of the Sisters of Silence. What better way was there than to let the comrades who abandoned them personally invite them back? And for the public, the untouchable attributes of the nuns will be of great help to future wars.

Shadow Prison Incarcerator Tokman lost his job, and the black armor used to identify his duties was repainted with gold. He received an order from the Emperor to find the Sisters of Silence.

Of course, he was not the only one acting alone, and there were some Shadow Prison Incarcerators accompanying him. However, guarding the black prison is a lonely and difficult job. The Shadow Prison Incarcerators are more isolated and silent than ordinary imperial guards. Although they are shining with gold in the ship, they can still make the accompanying crew feel that they are as dark as the night.

To be honest, how can I do this job? That's the Imperial Guard! Guarding the Imperial Palace, the Imperial Guard is no different from a myth!

The crew members were sweating profusely in preparation, and the familiar process was so tense and painful to do. The Emperor originally wanted to let the Imperial Guards have more contact with mortals, and when it became a reality, it became a clever torture.

The bearded captain loosened his collar with his hands. He felt that it was getting harder and harder to breathe. This was not because he had a disease or the ship's air system was wrong, but because of the woman standing against the wall at the door.

Sister of Silence, the guards reminded him before boarding the ship. The captain did not know the deep meaning of this term, but he only knew that the closer he was to the woman, the more painful it was.

Tokman walked towards Sister of Silence and asked expressionlessly, "Where are the rest of your sisters?"

The overly polite tone made these words sound like an interrogation. Sister of Silence had no good feelings for Tokman, and was even full of resentment towards the guards who had abandoned them for ten thousand years.

While these corn people were guarding the emperor's patrols in the palace, her sisters were hiding from the persecution of the state religion and the Inquisition, and were even directly treated as raw materials for anti-psychic weapons. The bones of their sisters might be hung on the shields of some Grey Knights. There was no proper reason to explain why they were abandoned and forgotten. When she asked the commander of the Imperial Guards why he recalled them, the arrogant commander just said that there was a battle that needed their help.

When we are useful, we are sharp swords, and when we are useless, we are dirt that everyone avoids?

But she and her sisters still responded loyally. After all, they were loyal to the Emperor. More than a hundred people with old equipment disappeared one by one in a series of battles, and only four or five survivors were left. She knew that the Emperor had resurrected from the throne. This news spread rapidly from the throne room to Terra and even the entire solar system. It was only a matter of time before the entire empire knew about the Emperor's resurrection.

Everyone was talking about the image of the Emperor. Those blind people in the Star Tongue Court were also unable to escape the world, fantasizing about the Emperor's wisdom and greatness. Under his leadership, the human empire will sweep away all the decay and depravity with a crushing force, and the future of human revival is not far away.

Although Sister Silent always complained and was sad, she was also very excited about the news. After the excitement, she also regretted why she couldn't die with her sisters. She couldn't see a place for her and her sisters in the new era.

These grievances were not expressed by the Sisters of Silence. They had already made a silent vow, vowing never to speak. But she still had other ways to communicate with the outside world. Quick gestures flashed before Tokman's eyes. As a guard, he could follow the gestures of the Sisters of Silence and interpret them.

"In a barren desert that you guards never know or care about."

The obvious complaints made Tokman difficult to deal with. He had never seen such obvious emotional fluctuations in other guards. However, the Emperor had an order, and Tokman could only continue to say patiently, "Don't be like this, Sister Luna. Good cooperation will make our actions faster, and more Sisters of Silence will be able to see the glory of the Emperor."

Sister Luna tilted her head and looked up at Tokman. It can be seen that she did not like the feeling of being lower than the imperial guards. She leaned against the wall and stood on tiptoe to make herself taller.

Tokman was confused by Luna's persistence, so he simply squatted down to make his eyes level with Luna.

"Are you pitying me?" Judging from the strength and speed of Luna's gestures, she was even angrier. Tokman blinked his eyes, neither standing nor squatting.

Really dull...

Luna turned her head away, complaining in her heart that these imperial guards had no emotions and common sense at all. She was tired of wasting time with Tokman here, so she directly told him a coordinate with a gesture, and ended with a middle finger.

Middle finger...

Tokman understood the meaning of the middle finger. The gangs in the lower level of the nest often used this gesture to express their dissatisfaction and blame. After thinking for a long time, Tokman still didn't understand what was worthy of dissatisfaction with his behavior just now, so he took a few steps forward, which immediately caused Sister Luna's tension.

"What are you going to do?" Before Sister Luna finished her gesture, Tokman held her hand, led her to bow, and turned away.

Is this enough?

Tokman thought to himself, and subconsciously reached for a sealed book box hanging on his waist. Inside was a book written by Odmayer and issued to the Imperial Guard in the name of the Emperor.

"How to Communicate with Humans"
