Chapter 285: Divine Emperor = Healing Goddess?

Arriving with the combat troops were the logistics troops and a large number of nuns. The nuns held divine talismans and chanted prayers to the God-Emperor, trying to dispel the corruption in the land, but their efficiency was not fast enough.

After the war, Ludwig tried to contact the Empire to ask the priests of the Church of Sigmar to help purify the earth, but the reply he got was that almost all the priests and clergy who could be mobilized in Reikland had gone to Middenheim to stop another Nurgle army.

Altdorf must also leave enough priests to prevent cultists from within Altdorf, and the remaining arch-chanters of the Church of Sigmar can only express their powerlessness.

"It seems that the situation on the Middenheim border is not optimistic." Ludwig thought. Next they must turn around and support Karl.

Rebecca, dressed in a holy white robe, also walked to Ludwig's side.

"Ludwig, the Chosen One, perhaps there is a way to cure the corruption here." Rebecca's voice reached Ludwig's ears.

"Saint Rebecca, what do you mean by this?"

"Pray to Ludwig the Chosen, all we have to do is pray devoutly. The Emperor will not sit idly by and watch his followers suffer disasters. Haven't you noticed that every time we encounter a powerful enemy or a huge crisis, the Emperor will ask us to pray to him? Then he will bestow blessings on his followers.

God’s grace is great, but it is not without price. The price is our faith.

It may be difficult for ordinary believers to actually hear the holy voice of the God-Emperor, but you and I may be special. We can all hear the God-Emperor's expectations and teachings for us, and you may be the one closest to the God-Emperor in your current state. You told us that you have been to the God-Emperor's kingdom, saw the golden throne with your own eyes, and vaguely saw the God-Emperor's holy face.

You should know that the God Emperor does exist. He is by our side protecting us. He is not illusory. Now we need to offer our faith. Perhaps the God Emperor will tell us a solution."

Rebecca said slowly.

"Pray? It seems to be true, Rebecca. I seem to have been negligent recently. You should take the lead in this matter. No one is more suitable than you." Rebecca's words awakened Ludwig.

It was indeed as Rebecca said, thinking back on what had happened, many messengers from the God-Emperor and God's creations came after they prayed devoutly.

Rebecca nodded and immediately began to gather all the believers.

Not only the soldiers from Terra, but also a large number of troops and knights from Baator.

Everyone gathered together and began to sing hymns praising the God-Emperor under the aura of Rebecca's faith.

The melodious sound resounded through the sky, and a large amount of power of faith began to gather towards Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng also felt these beliefs. A large number of faith light balls appeared again in the faith space that was almost empty, which made Zhang Heng very happy.

Even a skilled cook cannot cook without rice. It's not that he doesn't want to help his believers, but the space of faith has been almost squeezed out. The collision with the power of Nurgle and Slaanesh has left him with only a little power of faith.

Now, as long as we have faith, the problem is no longer a problem.

Zhang Heng has experience in purifying plague. The Plague Lord of the Horned Rat once released a plague that covered an entire city. Nuln is even bigger than Marienburg.

He took out the disinfectant at home again, raised his hand and injected more faith than before. The deeper the corruption, the more faith was required. Zhang Heng sprayed the glowing disinfectant on the box.

Along with the believers' hymns, golden rain began to fall from the sky.

Raindrops fell on the ground, on buildings, and even on the sea nearby. The ineradicable chaos corrosion began to turn into bursts of black smoke and left the world, and the land began to return to its original color.

The raindrops dripping on people's bodies began to purify the negative effects on them. The soldiers lying in the wounded camp were surprised to find that their bodies were getting healthy at a speed visible to the naked eye, and those symptoms that made them want to die suddenly stopped.

They tried to get up from the bed and were surprised to find that the previous plague seemed to have not touched their bodies.

The corruption that originally required a lot of manpower and a lot of time to purify is receding at an incredible speed.

The hymns and the golden rain came together, making people marvel at the power of the God-Emperor.

"Praise the Emperor."

The light rain stopped, and if it weren't for the corpses of the cultists and the broken ruins on the ground that indicated the existence of this tragic war, there would be no trace of Nurgle's power around. Ludwig stood up.

"The logistics troops can enter the site now. Inform Lecard to have the priests and craftsmen build a solid defense line on the coastline as quickly as possible to prevent the threat from Norsca in the north. At least five regiments of soldiers will be stationed here. Otto, have your Chamber of Commerce mobilize the materials needed for construction as quickly as possible. The Ministry of Internal Affairs will allocate enough funds. There is no need to save. What we lack most now is time."

Ludwig arranged the next deployment one by one.

But it wasn't long before some people interrupted Ludwig's work.

Ludwig listened to the soldiers' reports and didn't know what was going on for a moment.

"Are you saying that the priests of the goddess Rhea are looking for me and Saint Rebecca?"

"Yes sir."

Although Ludwig didn't know the other party's intention, at least these priestesses had saved many soldiers' lives in previous battles, so it was reasonable for him to meet them.

"Let them in, and notify Saint Rebecca to come over as well."

"Okay sir."

Led by the soldiers, three priestesses met Ludwig as representatives, and Rebecca also came to the side.

"Rebecca"

"Anna, I didn't expect that our meeting would be like this again."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Ludwig asked, "Rebecca, do you know each other?"

"Yes, I was once a priestess of the goddess. Have you forgotten?"

After Rebecca said this, Ludwig remembered that he had even asked someone to check Rebecca's background before, but as time went by, Rebecca's identity as a saint had made everyone forget her past.

"Anna and I have known each other for a long time, but we lost contact before that."

Rebecca hesitated to speak.

"Rebecca, perhaps we have wronged you before. You did not betray the goddess, right?"

Said the priest named Anna.

"Ah?" Ludwig was a little confused.

"No, Anna, I did throw myself into the arms of the God-Emperor."

"But, but the miracle just now, the holy rain, the power to dispel evil gods, can only be done by the goddess in charge of healing. It is impossible for a god to have all the power. The goddess has not responded to us for a long time. Has she returned to this world in another identity?"

Anna said excitedly, but the Goddess of Healing certainly could not reply to them. At this time, the Goddess of Healing was captured by Nurgle and tortured madly in the Garden of Nurgle. Even though her power was not strong enough, her divine authority did restrain Nurgle, and her priestesses were also very effective when facing the plague of Nurgle.

Ludwig understood that these priestesses had mistakenly thought that the miracle just now was the Goddess of Healing responding to them again. Indeed, the power of healing and the authority of the Goddess of Healing were too overlapping.

"Anna, the God Emperor is the God Emperor, and the Goddess is the Goddess."

"Rebecca, please stop talking. We trust our own eyes more!"

Well, these priestesses are so straightforward. Perhaps it is because they expect their gods to respond to them too much. The church has existed for so many years, but all attempts to contact the goddess have failed.
