"Knowledge is power. If you want to know the secrets of the sea of stars, the power is better than guessing! "Note (1)

I believe that when many people think of the Anglican Crusaders, their creeds and aphorisms will naturally come to mind.

If it was during the First Empire a thousand years ago, almost everyone would have instinctively been in awe when they were mentioned.

It was the National Crusade and the Emperor who was revered as the God by the National Religion that enabled the entire First Empire to cross the galaxy, conquer thousands of cosmic planes, and finally enshrine the entire human race to the altar.

However, according to the few historical records, even if the early human race overthrew the colonial rule of the Moon Spirit people by chance and began to open up to the sea of stars, it was not like in many biographical novels, it directly transformed into the source of destruction, and since then it has beaten the multiverse.

Before that, in the first millennium of the most difficult and difficult period of human beings, there was very little publicity about that period of science and technology.

The colonization failure of the expeditionary force of the Luna people not only shocked many civilizations around them, but also made the Luna people furious, and began to encircle and suppress the humans who had just half a foot in the galaxy age.

Even after human beings broke out of the shackles of the earth's ghostly desert, they began to find that many people evolved in that harsh cosmic environment after experiencing the desperate situation of life and death and surviving, and they were the first batch of human beings to evolve at that time.

But at that time, even if there was such an extra group of fighters whose individual combat power value could be called open, it was difficult to change the shortcomings of human science and technology, even if human beings captured a lot of moon spirit people's industrial technology and several spaceships during the Earth Independence War, if they wanted to climb technology crazily, they had to follow the Basic Law step by step.

And in those years of the crazy counterattack of the Moon Spirit people, the humans who were still cowering in the solar system found a civilization relic on Titan, and those so-called artificial intelligence were also born.

At that time, these baby-like artificial intelligences had a complete set of industrial blueprints and various black technologies in their ghost core database...

Since then, humanity has taken off.

And because all this came so suddenly, even the scientists who had been completely subverted by the 'origin evolutionists' began to confirm:

In this world, there are 'gods', and human beings are undoubtedly God's favorites.

Thus, such a sect with knowledge and technology as its belief was established.

Shortly after this, the 'Emperor' was born on Titan.

His instinctive nature and insight into the universe amazed humanity at the time, and as he joined the Human Guardians, his talents became even more brilliant.

Wherever He is on the battlefield, it is as if a bright banner has appeared, and finally leads the people to crush the enemy to victory!

After many victories, the Luna finally had to give up his revenge on humanity, and he unknowingly became the leader of humanity, and the entire human society, which was centered on the state religion and parliamentary system, was also restructured into an empire:

The First Empire!

And He was crowned Emperor.

The Emperor was not only an unrivaled hegemon, but also a profound scholar.

At the end of that first millennium, countless Apostles of War, such as Genetic Potions, Power Armor, Two-Position Hydrogen Furnaces, Planetary Fortresses, and even the War Apostles that were later transformed after the destruction of the Starry Sky Spirit, came from His hands.

Since then, human beings have finally embarked on a magnificent expedition, like a mad dog out of the cage, hanging the multiverse, making countless galactic aliens frightened.

And in this most glorious history, the state religion has also played an important role.

After all, many new things and inventions, and even the analysis of those black technologies in the artificial intelligence database, after all, even if the emperor really seems to be an all-knowing and all-powerful god, he does not have so much energy to spend on it.

It's just that because the emperor has become the only faith of mankind, the brilliance of his body, to a large extent, has covered up the credit that belongs to the state religion.

But even so, the state religion still has no complaints, silently solves everything behind the scenes for the emperor, and even specially cultivates an army for him that will always be loyal to the emperor.

Anglican crusaders!

And the emperor also showed great trust in the state crusades, and even since the tenth millennium, almost all of the emperor's direct guards have been served by the state crusades.

However, people's impression of the Anglican Crusades was turned upside down thousands of years ago, after the collapse of the First Empire.

The fact that the emperor was assassinated almost drove the entire Anglican crusaders insane.

They are really like irrational madmen, to purge and slaughter all suspicious people, and even form the Scarlet Crusade more than once, and launch a revenge expedition to the dark star field where Lucifer and the rebellious Ultramarines fled, which is no different from sending them to death!

And this bloody revenge and indiscriminate purge blows not only rapidly consumed the foundation of the Anglican Crusaders, but also finally laid the groundwork for the outbreak of the first full-scale civil war of mankind in a hundred years.

One of the most direct results of this tragic war was that after the collapse of the First Empire, the most powerful and powerful Anglican crusaders were directly knocked down to the altar.

And a large part of artificial intelligence has also become independent because of dissatisfaction with the crazy measures of the Anglican Crusaders, and has established a joint-stock company dominated by artificial intelligence:

Suzi Technology.

The chaos that originally seemed to be the union of princes was also reshuffled in the war, and finally re-defined into the distribution of power familiar to future generations, such as the Silver Federation, such as the Crimson Dynasty, such as Terry's power, etc.

But many of these forces then disappeared in the second full-scale civil war hundreds of years later, such as the Terry power, a kingdom formed by alien races specially approved by the First Empire from other planes to the main plane after the collapse of the First Empire.

In fact, according to the posture of the countries that almost fought their brains at that time, it was far from being possible to negotiate a truce so early, but it is said that it was not unrelated to the sudden collapse of the Spark Council at that time.

Throughout human history, in the hearts of most human beings, the crusaders of the state religion have always maintained the glorious image of the emperor's most loyal supporters, protectors of mankind, crusaders against foreign races, and so on.

And even after the collapse of the First Empire, its frenzied purges and the unsophisticated attempts to restore the First Empire for thousands of years have cast a lot of stains on its banner, but it is still difficult to significantly change its image in the hearts of the general public, at least not to equate it with chaotic and evil forces like the Sakura Society.

However, it is such a force that has always had a positive image far more than a negative image, and one day someone suddenly told you that it was actually the mastermind behind the suspected plot to destroy the Spark Council, can you believe it?

You must know that when the Spark Council was first established, the God Emperor could come to the door in person, and even he was one of the honorary members of the Spark Council!

And privately, the personal relationship between the God Emperor and the Speaker has always been good.

This is one of the reasons why so many forces are afraid of the Spark Council.

"Isn't it? What's the misunderstanding? ”

Due to the deep-rooted impression, Qin Feng was almost instinctively suspicious, but was greeted by Elise's cold gaze.

Just when Qin Feng was embarrassed and didn't know how to excuse his cheapness, David suddenly asked:

"On my way here, I heard from a remnant that you led a team of investigators to break through Alice's blockade to the surface more than ten years ago, did you find any other clues?"
