Chapter 1227 Lecture
After dinner, their day would end in a few hours in the meditation room.
Every seven days, they will gather in the church. Pastor Yazdan will personally come to preach to them, telling them the ancient legends of the war group and legion, and tempering their hearts and wills with the great deeds of their predecessors.
As the days turned into weeks, and the weeks turned into months, Jacob found himself becoming more and more accustomed to his new role and position. He knew the names of many people in the Chapter, including some who were not Space Marines. For example, several important technical priests.
They even went to visit the screening ceremony of new candidates. Most of these boys were said to be brought by the war group from other places, and then, like them, they needed to undergo strict tempering and shaping. , many of them would not survive.
As he watched the whole process unfold as a spectator, Jacob finally realized how lucky he was.
In addition to daily training, they also conduct regular actual combat drills. The venue is usually in a mountain forest on Naisen No. 4. The drill format is also very simple, that is, they are divided into red and blue teams to compete.
The first actual combat exercise was very fresh for Jacob, and he was very much looking forward to it. As a scout of the team, he quickly rushed through the dense forest, letting green leaves slap him in the face, and plants on his knees. Broken down.
During the sprint, he ducked under a stumbling vine, landed on his knees, rolled forward across the ground covered with fallen leaves, and hid behind a fallen giant tree.
He heard some noises from the plants in front of him, lifted the leaves in front of his face, looked down the barrel of the pistol and fired a shot.
The bullet flew through the leaves, exploded, and left a huge cloud of paint on some unlucky person.
“Fuck!”
The hit red team member wailed, put his hand on his chest, pressed the button to disconnect from the communication network, and then fell to the ground.
Jacob smiled with satisfaction. This was the third member of the red team he had defeated in this training. He now completely forgot about his duties as a scout and was only intoxicated with the power he gained. .
He even thought that he could destroy the enemy team alone. He enjoyed it very much and was very satisfied with himself. His shooting skills improved greatly with practice, as Bahram told him That way.
"Next."
Jacob said softly, moving carefully, trying to find the next member of the red team.
"You're done, Jacob."
A voice came from behind, Jacob turned around and wanted to raise his gun in defense, but it was too late.
Herbert stood there with the pistol pointed at him, then sneered and pulled the trigger.
The next moment, the impact of the bullet knocked Jacob down, and a large glob of paint covered his training armor.
Jacob briefly considered ignoring the attack and fighting back, but his sense of honor wouldn't allow him to do so, perhaps because he knew the sergeants were watching him with floating cameras.
Then, he pressed the button on his chest in frustration and took himself out of the communication network.
Herbert stared at him and hissed:
"Your team failed. While you were wandering around, we deployed an ambush circle to kill all your teammates who had lost their intelligence. It fell in, and the one you just hit was just a bait to pull you out.”
Jacob cursed and ignored the other person's next words.
However, he was still glad that what Herbert shot was just a paintball and not a real bullet, and he was wondering if the other party would have shot it so quickly if there were real bullets in the gun. trigger.
At least their current relationship is still very bad, and it probably won't get much better in the future.
Just when they walked out of the training ground, they saw that the instructors had gathered together, and in addition there were some other people, some Space Marines wearing white armor. "Everyone, gather now! The chapter leader and the distinguished guests of the White Templar are here!"
When the whistle sounded, all the recruits immediately gathered into the team, and not far away, Soshyan and Randall were pointing at them.
Randall and the White Templar team arrived in the Nessen system five days ago. Before coming here, he went to the flagship to take a look. Then the first thing he did when he came to Nessin IV was Met with Queen Elena.
After that, Soshyan shared his layout and vision in the Bracato system with Randall, and received support from the other party. Relevant policies were also formulated regarding the subsequent immigration and relocation of the war group. plan.
Then Soshyan talked to Randall about the hulk. The two parties exchanged opinions and came to the plan of waiting and watching.
“. Of the 300 applicants this time, 221 were successfully transformed in the end. Such a high success rate is due to the newly developed medicines, among which there are 20 successful gray marrow implanters. Look at these guys, how energetic they are.”
Soshyan proudly introduced the results of this recruit transformation to Randall. When he got this data, he was simply ecstatic.
In one fell swoop, the battle losses of the previous thirty years of the battle group were completely replenished.
However, Armin and others also reported that the knowledge crown had some flaws and could not completely replace manual teaching, but these were minor problems.
Randall looked at the assembled recruits and nodded, smiling:
"Yes, they are all great young men."
"I want to transfer some of them to your regiment."
"Haha, okay, as long as you are willing to let me join you, commander of the regiment."
After the recruits were assembled, Sosh Yang and Randall walked up to the high platform and looked at them.
His face was full of pride, which was reflected in Jacob's heart and reflected in the expressions of all the recruits present.
For Jacob, this was the last time he witnessed the heroic appearance of the Chapter Master. Through that knowledge, he understood everything that had happened to the Astral Knights. In some ways, the person in front of him was not only He is the founder of the battle group and the founder of the legion. The Knowledge Engine describes him as the "Father of Reconstruction", and his admiration for him is deeply ingrained in the minds of every recruit - Soshiyan does not know that someone is secretly there. These are added to the knowledge engine.
"You have done a good job, learned everything I taught you, and survived a trial that was only prepared for a very small number of people. You can be proud of this."
As he spoke, Soshi spoke up. One turn.
"But don't be too proud, for everything you learn here should point to the same truth, that the life of a Space Marine is one long trial, and that a warrior in this trial There are many ways to fail. He may become cowardly, unable to abide by his duties, or he may fall into mistakes and sins. He may harbor a little private suspicion or hatred..."
I don’t know why. , Jacob felt that the Chapter Leader looked directly at him when he said this.
He was not sure.
". Or a hint of weakness! Allowing those demonic enemies to penetrate his soul and corrupt him! We must never forget what happened to some Chapters. Those fallen warriors were once powerful people in many senses. Even stronger than us, but they still fell! Therefore, you must remember that while we are fighting on the physical level, we are also fighting against the enemy on the spiritual level, and our belief in the Emperor and our mission is our shield! "
"You must never forget the meaning of this long, challenging life! After this, you will serve the empire in all ways and at all times, with your body, mind and soul. With human beings, it is the same in life, and it is the same after death."
Jacob puffed up his chest, and he felt that this moment was the proudest time in his life.
