Various Factions

Under Magos Ovilia's explanation and persuasion, Chen Xi abandoned his idea of creating a Forge World himself.

However, the thought of building a forge and a forge ark for Magos Ovilia, so that she could provide him with various weapons and equipment, was still burning brightly.

After all, as a traditional Terran, Chen Xi could never allow his logistics to be controlled by others, with weapon and equipment supplies relying entirely on purchases.

Magos Ovilia was clearly very interested in having her own forge and forge ark, so the two hit it off and reached a cooperation agreement: Ovilia would first help Chen Xi develop Rostov II, and then Chen Xi would help Ovilia build a forge on Rostov II's satellite and get her a forge ark.

After the two reached a cooperation agreement, Ovilia removed the soundproof field. Although the others waiting around were curious about what the Magos and the Governor had discussed, Chen Xi's status as an Inquisitor was enough to make everyone give up trying to find out.

After all, this was just a newly developed, remote Imperial colony world, without the kind of nobles who would want to go against the Inquisition.

After reaching a cooperation agreement with Magos Ovilia, Chen Xi, as the Governor, also met with other important figures on the planet.

"Governor, this is General Gregory of the Planetary Defense Force. He is responsible for the main command and training of the Planetary Defense Force." Rachel stood beside Chen Xi, dutifully introducing the various people in front of him.

"Greetings, esteemed Inquisitor!" Gregory, wearing a neat dress uniform, saluted Chen Xi, but addressed him as Inquisitor rather than Governor.

Chen Xi glanced at him, noticing a Mortalis Aquila medal on his chest, and smiled, asking, "Did you serve in the Astra Militarum?"

"Yes, I served as a Major in the Valhallan 514th of the Astra Militarum, although that was seventy years ago." Gregory replied to Chen Xi, proudly puffing out his chest.

Although there was only a Mortalis Aquila there, and although this medal was jokingly called the 'Bored Hero,' it still symbolized courage and honor, as well as abilities and qualities beyond those of ordinary Astra Militarum.

Being able to obtain this medal was enough to show that Gregory was once an excellent Astra Militarum officer.

This made Chen Xi very satisfied, and he also noticed that he had mentioned the word 'Valhalla.'

"Valhalla? Are you Valhallan Ice Warriors?" Chen Xi showed a surprised expression, not expecting that the retired Astra Militarum on this planet came from this unit: "In that case, this planet should be completely different from your hometown, right? Are you not used to it?"

"During our service to the Imperium as Astra Militarum, we have been to many worlds, most of which are very different from our hometown. We have long been accustomed to these." Gregory seemed very calm about this, but Chen Xi still read a trace of nostalgia for his hometown in his eyes.

Generally speaking, an Astra Militarum soldier will serve the Imperium for twenty years, during which they will hardly have the opportunity to return to their hometown.

When the twenty-year term of service expires, the Department of Military Affairs will usually let them retire collectively on the spot, transfer them to the Imperial world where they are located, and directly transfer the command hierarchy of the regiment to the local ruling class.

For example, the regimental Captain can obtain the position of planetary governor, and officers at all levels will quickly replace the original important positions on the planet.

Of course, to enjoy this treatment, you must first survive the tragic battlefield with an average survival time of 15 hours.

"Rostov II has been the focus of your efforts for so many years. I hope it has become your new home." Chen Xi didn't say much, just nodded to Gregory.

"Greetings, esteemed Governor! I am your Court Treasurer, you can call me Ochumelov." A fat man who looked slippery at first glance stood in front of Chen Xi, respectfully saluting him before Rachel could introduce him.

Looking at this fat man who perfectly fit Chen Xi's stereotype of a treasurer, Chen Xi did not underestimate him.

Instead, he also nodded slightly to him, and then said: "As Court Treasurer, I hope you are ready to fulfill your responsibilities. I don't yet understand the financial situation of this planet. I hope you can prepare a brief report on the current planetary financial situation and submit it to me as soon as possible, so that I can make future financial plans."

"This is my duty, please rest assured, this report will be on your desk within three days." Although Ochumelov looked slippery, he didn't seem to be an incompetent waste.

Chen Xi seemed very satisfied with his attitude, and even patted him on the shoulder kindly to show trust and closeness.

After these two, other prominent figures on the planet came to salute Chen Xi, but most of them were not worthy of extra remembrance.

At least Rachel did not take the initiative to introduce them, which also shows that they were not important key figures.

After these people, a priest of the Adeptus Ministorum came to Chen Xi. After saluting Chen Xi, he opened his mouth and said: "Greetings, esteemed Governor, the Bishop is old and inconvenient to come in person. He has specially ordered me to convey his apologies to you, and to congratulate you on your appointment as Planetary Governor.

If you are willing to take the time to visit the Ministorum Cathedral, the Bishop is willing to personally preside over a Mass for you, may you be blessed by the God-Emperor."

"Please convey my thanks to the Bishop and thank him for his blessings." Chen Xi showed a considerable degree of respect and enthusiasm for the Adeptus Ministorum: "If the Adeptus Ministorum needs anything, please feel free to ask. It is the responsibility of each of us to spread the faith for the great God-Emperor."

"Your piety is as dazzling as the stars!" The priest seemed very happy that the new Governor was a pious person, but he didn't say much, just expressed his blessings to Chen Xi before stepping aside.

However, the priest still emphasized to Chen Xi that he hoped that he could visit the Ministorum Cathedral when he had time.

Of course, Chen Xi kept this in mind, after all, believing in the God-Emperor is really useful in the Warhammer world, and the Adeptus Ministorum can really exorcise evil!

If you don't want some Chaos things to grow on your planet, you must maintain a good relationship with the Adeptus Ministorum and strongly support them.

Of course, the factions of the Adeptus Ministorum must also be carefully distinguished to avoid mixing in some extreme factions.

You must know that some extreme factions in the Adeptus Ministorum are even more insane than Chaos cults, and even their many behaviors are not much better than those of cults.
