Chapter 228 Political Fundraising Protection Mission
Chapter 228 Political Fundraising Protection Mission
"The Dartel nobles, a family that provides conscripts for the Astra Militarum in a medium-sized hive world, control the fate of hundreds of millions of people.
We are a good partner with the national religion, and the other party wants to go to the ocean world and experience the ocean scenes that they have never seen before.
The state church accepted the other party's political donations and sent you here to protect the family and establish friendly relations with them. "
On the spaceship platform, Senior Sister Melody explained everyone's mission.
A nobleman who was used to the life on the planet of birth hired 10 nuns to protect the safety of his family during travel.
The middleman, or the boss, is the state religion. With the political donations from the nobles, the state religion is happy to send troops, and the nuns can also use this simple task to train new recruits, thus killing three birds with one stone.
Caroline hadn't expected that the Sisters would be so diverse with hundreds of organizations, and would be hired by nobles like this.
This is understandable. Compared with those mercenaries or the organized star army, the combat nuns are much superior in terms of combat proficiency and reliability.
After all, they are the only professional force available for nobles to choose from. This is an absolutely reputable military organization, and can even be compared with Space Marines to a certain extent.
They are more professional, stronger, more resolute in their beliefs, and of course better looking than the average army.
"Attention! All members of the Sisters please get to know each other. You will all live together for the next two weeks.
Getting to know each other as soon as possible will help us carry out subsequent tasks. Understanding each other will make you and I more familiar with each other's fighting methods."
Caroline looked at the sisters around her and learned about their situations. Six of them were from the same combat order as her, and including the high-ranking sister who had called out, there were seven of them in total.
"Sisters, my name is Helen. I am a nun from the Convent of Speech. I specialize in the language theories of various planets and do translation work." said one of the other three.
Linguists, basically everyone knows dozens of languages, commonly known as walking dictionaries
Caroline nodded. Even the left and right hemispheres have different accents. On the vast number of planets in the Milky Way, the accents of speech and the recorded texts must be very different. This is basically arranged for the nobles.
"My name is Chris, and I am a nun from the Order of the Servant. In terms of my duties, you can think of me as a diplomat, so most of the time I work with the nobles."
Another person said that Caroline didn't know much about the Order of the Servant, but she heard from other sisters that their work was more complicated and not as simple as other orders. It was mostly established to supervise the nobles.
The Servant Order is an organization that monitors the upper class, infiltrates the nobility as surveillance objects, and secretly controls the nobility's cognition, reproduction, and lifestyle.
Caroline was not interested in nobles, nor did she pay much attention to the literary quality of the language, but she wanted to contact the third person because she was the medical nun who treated her wounds.
"Hello, sisters. You can call me Martha. I am from the Order of the Medically Assisted. I hope I won't be required to help you on this journey."
Martha's eyes narrowed when she smiled, and combined with the other person's youthful smile, everyone felt like they were in spring breeze and nodded in return with a smile.
The ten-person team has clear responsibilities: three auxiliary personnel, seven combatants, one senior nun and two formal nuns, and the remaining four are rotation students like her.
Because they are trainee nuns, they cannot wear nun-type power armor, so this is their equipment,
All four of them were nuns who had just been promoted two weeks ago. During this stage, they had to learn a lot of professional knowledge, including medicine, language, politics, combat, etc.
They will then be assigned to the monastery that best suits their abilities based on their performance, just like the three auxiliary staff.
"There are five people in total who need protection. We will serve as the noble's guards and cooperate with his private army to ensure their safety while they are playing in the ocean world."
Senior Sister Melody described the situation of the ocean world that everyone was about to land on. Nearly 85% of the planet was covered by ocean.
The remaining land is not a complete piece. There are hundreds of islands scattered in the same sea, so it is known as the City of a Hundred Stars.
The world's industrial level is not high, and most industries rely on the sea. It can be considered a half-agricultural world. Basically, all the islands, big and small, produce fish or kelp cakes.
The subtropical climate ensures a constant temperature on many islands, gradually allowing the planet to develop into a well-known tourist planet in the Solar Star Region. Many nobles and wealthy people will take time to come here for entertainment.
"You must recognize your mission. Every time you open your eyes, it means the beginning of a trial. Joy is not a word in your dictionary.
So there is no enjoyment, just be careful of any danger that may arise. If you can't even complete the simplest task, there is no need to go to the battlefield.
At that time, dying easily is still a good thing. If you betray me, that will be a loss to the empire. Do you understand? "
"understand!"
The nine nuns shouted as they stood at attention, before everyone gathered their equipment and headed for the Dartel noble's cabin.
As expected of the controller of the hive city, the two mercenaries standing outside the hatch were both wearing a complete set of plastic steel armor, and the laser rifles they carried were also standard models.
But compared with the high-ranking Sister Melody who was wearing nun-style power armor and holding a customized bolter, she seemed several levels lower.
Sister Power Armor Details
"Notify them and the nun will arrive," Senior Sister Melody said casually.
"Om."
The gate opened, and then Dartel came over with a smile.
"Hahaha, welcome all the nuns. With you here, I believe the safety of my family will be fully guaranteed.
Come and meet the sisters. Your safety in the next few weeks depends on them. You must listen to their advice carefully. Do you understand? "
Dartel introduced his family members to everyone one by one, including his wife, son, daughter-in-law, and youngest daughter. The five of them had a normal relationship.
After Sister Melody confirmed that everything was correct, she asked Chris from the Servant Order to contact them and try to make them friends.
After the mission is completed, they can infiltrate the enemy and obtain information about the enemy's hive world to ensure that there will be no heresy problems inside.
Caroline looked at the five people, and then her eyes met with the little girl of 7 or 8 years old. The little girl shyly hid her body behind her mother's skirt, only showing her right eye and continuing to glance at her.
Caroline smiled and nodded, as a greeting to the little girl.
...
The landing craft separated from the ship and passed through the clouds, looking at the blue ocean. As it passed the equator, hundreds of islands of different sizes with various high-rise buildings appeared before everyone's eyes.
The little girl was sticking to the window and shouting happily, and her mother immediately signaled her to pay attention to etiquette. Even so, it was also the first time for the mother to see such a beautiful sea.
Few people present had ever seen such a vast ocean. Even Caroline opened her eyes wide. In just a moment, she became excited. The breathtaking scenery made everyone yearn for it.
"Sisters, please, pleasure is not what we need to enjoy right now. Our purpose is not to feel pleasure!"
Just as everyone was immersed in the beautiful scenery, Sister Melody stepped forward and said, and everyone immediately realized that they had lost their composure and had forgotten the purpose of becoming nuns.
So the ten nuns ignored the inquiring looks of the crowd, immediately knelt on one knee, holding the badge of the order in their hands and chanting holy prayers softly.
"Mom, why can't the nuns see the sea?" the little girl asked.
"This is their belief, and this is also our belief, great God Emperor. If you study hard, you can become a nun." The mother smiled and reached out to stroke the girl's head.
The girl looked at Caroline thoughtfully, wondering if becoming a nun would give her the same white hair as Caroline?
...
To be honest, the security measures at several well-known resorts in the star zone are definitely of the highest level.
If a group of wealthy nobles were to be robbed or kidnapped, then the planetary governor of this planet would not be able to continue his job.
The biggest danger was that when they were sightseeing these two days, a sea monster ran out and scared everyone, and the problems it brought made everyone prepare for the worst.
The Dartle family was lying on their backs on the beach, surrounded by many nobles and wealthy people, feeling the moist sea breeze and the warm sun.
Enjoying the service of dozens of servants and tasting tropical fruits that I had never eaten or seen before.
Children of all ages were running freely on the beach, splashing water as they ran. Dartel's daughter was laughing with a red face, as if she had gone crazy at the beautiful scenery.
"Slow down, Linda, and don't go towards the rocks," the mother shouted.
The girl Linda ran towards her mother with a smile and shouted excitedly:
"Mother, can we live here? This place is ten thousand times better than the palace. I don't want to go back to the hive.
It always smells bad there, and the sky isn’t as blue as here, and the trees aren’t as numerous, and the fruit isn’t as tasty, and…”
The woman smiled and covered her daughter's mouth, signaling her to go and play.
The little girl ran out again with a smile, standing on the shore and dancing. Everyone was infected by this harmonious scene and did not notice the vertical wave in the distance.
"puff!"
Suddenly, a column of water spurted out from the sea surface dozens of meters away, and then a strange deep-sea fish jumped out of the water and fell towards the shore.
The girl looked at the huge figure and froze in place, dumbfounded for a moment, and felt that all the sounds around her disappeared from her ears.
"careful!"
The girl felt her body suddenly step back, and she subconsciously closed her eyes and screamed, followed by an earth-shaking vibration.
With a loud bang, sand and rocks flew everywhere. The girl opened her eyes in horror and found that she was fine and was protected very safely. She looked closely and found that it was the white-haired nun.
Caroline panted and looked at the girl in her arms. After they looked at each other and confirmed that the other was not in danger, she immediately stood up and handed her to the Dartel noble.
After all, as a person with negative psychic powers, even the nun felt a little uncomfortable, let alone an ordinary little girl like this.
