Chapter 529: New Recruits Are Released

When he woke up for the last time, he turned into a giant.

He thought he had adapted to this change, but for a long time, Bahram was still surprised by the changes in his physiological functions.

The changes were very significant for him. At the same time, during the period when he was undergoing transformation, hypnosis and brainwashing were also subtly changing his character's behavior pattern. Suddenly he was able to realize some of the subtleties. Details: He can be aware of the swing range of his hands, feel the ripples of power rippling through his body, or feel the rush of blood pumping from the heart in his chest.

Then consciousness will remind him how much his body has changed.

Once, he was a mortal, a boy, and a woman brought him into the world.

Like all mortals, he naturally feels the many limitations of this body given to life. As the years go by, his muscles will become weak, his bones will become soft and loose, and his body will react slow.

Under normal circumstances, his life span is only fifty or sixty years old at most, or even shorter.

And in the lower levels of the hive, dangers are everywhere. Even the slightest wound may become infected and turn into a fatal wound.

He was once just an ordinary human being, and there were thousands of ways to easily turn a living person into a slave of the God of Death.

The appearance of the Astral Knight changed everything, and he himself seized that fleeting opportunity.

Finally, after experiencing untold hardships and countless visits from the God of Death, he was transformed into a brand new person, from the inside out, from body to mind.

At this moment, he is completely different from ordinary people.

Science, technology and magical gene seeds worked together in him, and he was recast in a direction more suitable for war.

The boy Bahram Tate of the past has died, and now in this body is a warrior named Bahram Tate.

Mortal desires and thoughts have left him. Family affection and love have turned into bubbles dancing in the sun, both real and illusory, and finally disappeared in the depths of the iron heart.

Only occasionally, I dream back in the middle of the night when I wake up from the transformation.

He would still think of the hut on the low hill, the salt fields, and——

those insignificant things.

"Bahram?"

A voice woke him up from his thoughts. He turned his head and saw other people emerging from the nutrition cabin one after another. They were also covered in gelatin and left pools of sticky liquid on the ground.

Then he saw a slightly familiar face.

"Haoma."

He could hardly believe what he saw.

Haoma had become almost unrecognizable to him. The man was as tall as the other monks and fully mature in body.

Although their mental age is not even that of an adult, they are truly beyond that.

The man in front of him has strong muscles that can redefine the human physique. At the same time, his face embodies the unique aura of a warrior, possessing unparalleled toughness like a statue.

The most extraordinary thing was that even with all the changes, Bahram could still tell that this was his friend.

"It's great that we all survived."

Bahram nodded and looked around for a moment.

There were a total of 18 people, among whom he only knew Haoma, Robin, Oscar, and Dude, but Kaelisa, who had tried the foursome in the first place, was nowhere to be seen.

Then his fate will be obvious.

Recalling that there were so many candidates, but only 18 people made it to the last step, Bahram felt mixed emotions for a while.

In principle, they have all become Astartes, only the final step of the surgery is needed, which is to implant the black carapace.

“Come on, recruits.”

At this time, Pastor Yazdan, who had been standing in the hall, spoke.

“Everyone gather here.”

“Yes, sir.”

Bahram just spoke, and was startled by his rich voice.

He swallowed and felt that his throat was different from before. The priest noticed Bahram and let out a deep laugh.

"There is no 'adult' here. After your service period in the Scout Company is over, recruit, you can call me 'brother', and I will call you the same."

After that, the priest gave everyone a robe.

Bahram noticed that although Robin's appearance had changed a lot after the transformation, his temperament was still the same as before, with an indescribable melancholy, but more of a fanaticism.

The other party also noticed him, but had no intention of saying hello to him.

Then, under the leadership of the chaplain, the recruits left the medical area, passed through a long tunnel, and reached a lifting platform.

These flat steps are not only huge, but also luxuriously decorated, with gorgeous metal lamps decorating the armrests.

When they boarded the platform, it began to rise slowly, sending them to another, more spacious space.

This is a place twice the size of the hall they stayed in before. The surrounding walls are made of raw stone, with murals of the Astartes fighting on them.

But they did not stop here, but moved outward along the center line of the hall, and finally walked outside.

At this moment, there was the open sky above their heads and slightly moist rocks under their feet.

Bahram looked around in amazement and breathed in the fresh air.

The sky here is as blue as in my hometown. The courtyard is surrounded by walls higher than the cliff, and more than a dozen statues are filled with various weapons.

Under their feet were many layers of stepped land, with many green things growing on them, and the strong smell of the fertile soil reached them.

Not far away, a tall tower pointed pointedly at the sky.

The machine slaves walked around awkwardly, taking care of the plants. Fifty Astartes wearing silver-gray robes stopped aside and watched the recruits pass by, their faces hidden under their hoods. .

This courtyard is at least a mile square, and the figure on the other side is as small as the salt ants in the salt pond compared with the statues on the side.

They soon crossed the courtyard, the Space Marines striding them to another set of stairs leading upward.

A lobby with a black stone dome appeared in front.

At the other end of the lobby is a series of huge windows. There is nothing in the middle of the windows. Bahram can see the mountains outside gradually blending into the blue sky, and the horizon is dyed red by the sun. A touch of pink.

The edges of the windows were dyed with images of saints.

And the Emperor is everywhere, looking down from niches, flying in the air supported by carefully arranged stone pillars, or pointing his sword into the sky.

No one told them what the places they just passed were used for.

Under the guidance of the priest, they passed through the aisle next to a lobby.

Like other amazing sights around them, they fell behind them and were replaced by other equally amazing things.

The black steel door was opened, the Astral Knights lined up on both sides of the door, and the recruits were taken to a church.

A lone beam of light passed through the thick wall of the fortress monastery, and on the other side thirty meters away was a rose-red window.

The walls are carved from black stone and inlaid with many rare minerals. The armor of the Space Marines is dyed silver-gray, their eyepieces shine with the color of obsidian, and scrolls and medals are dotted with them. Chest.

“This is our church.”

The pastor said loudly:

"You will meditate here for three days and three nights, carefully thinking about your own destiny and value, and memorizing the "Scripture of the Astartes"."

As he said, the attendants handed over a thick book The holy book was placed in front of each of them.

The Codex Astartes is not only about dividing the Legions of Astartes. In fact, the Codex Astartes is all-encompassing, from firearms maintenance to tactical commands. It can be said that it is the new recruit of the Astartes. Our best enlightenment reading. (The Regent was actually very attentive back then.)

"No one is allowed to leave his position or speak. Do I make it clear?"

"Yes!"


The recruits answered neatly, and then the priest left the church, and the door slammed shut with a heavy friction sound.

This is how Bahram's first day as an Astartes began.
