Chapter 2326 The battle group is full
After kissing Soshyan’s ring, King Willaton came to the penultimate step in front of Soshyan’s throne, then knelt down on one knee and touched his chest with his left hand. Raise your right hand, lift your chest and raise your head.
Correspondingly, Soshyan, who was wearing ceremonial armor, was sitting on the throne, with his hands on the left and right armrests of the throne, motionless, but slightly lowering his gaze. The outdoor sunlight was refracted by the glass prism above his head. The light shining on him gave him a sacred quality, like a towering statue of a god. A huge battle group flag hung on the wall behind the throne, and on both sides of the throne were Dehgan Terminator guards holding black spears. And the company commanders of the Chapter.
". Witnessed by the eternal throne, with every bit of my strength, with every inch of my will, with every ounce of my soul, Weilaiton-Dawuletik-Adluto-Wha Ka is sworn to serve you and the holy Chapter Astartes. I am at your disposal. I swear to remain steadfast and completely loyal. If I violate it, I will let the darkness take my soul."
After finishing speaking, the two attendants lowered their heads and bent over and raised the objects in their hands that symbolized the governor's power. It would be difficult for normal people to walk in this posture, but their steps were not chaotic at all, and even the steps were exactly the same. It could be seen that It's the result of decades of training.
After a moment, Suoshiyang spoke slowly, his voice like a bell.
"Your soul and faith belong to the Immortal Emperor, and you will continue to be His shepherd, watching over His sheep, never failing in your duty."
When the attendant turned back When he arrived at King Welleton's side, he picked up the scepter and seal.
“Praise the Immortal Emperor and His All-Knowing Vision, Praise the Immortal Emperor and His Eternal Rule!”
Although this set of procedures smells a bit like taking off your pants and farting, it is very clear. They established a mutual affiliation. From then on, the real ruler of Naisen No. 5 was Soshyan and the subsequent chapter leader of the Astral Knights, and the Governor changed from a ruler to a manager.
Of course, their actual power has not changed at all, and Soshiyang is not free enough to actually send people to airborne control of a world.
"Chapter Commander Soshyan Alexey, please accept the gift presented to you by all the soldiers and civilians of Nessen-5."
Soon, the servitor's breathing was humming. Amidst the sound, more than twenty huge boxes were moved to the main road of the reception hall. Not to mention the contents, the boxes themselves were already inlaid with gold and silver.
Of course everything inside has been scanned before coming in.
As the boxes were opened one after another, various rare holy objects, religious relics, and even finely crafted weapons appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and every one of them was precious.
But Soshyan just glanced at these things, then nodded and said:
"I accepted these gifts and experienced the goodwill of the soldiers and civilians of Naisen No. 5."
"Also, Naisen On the fifth day, all noble families will donate a boy, hoping to participate in the next recruitment selection of the Astral Knights."
Blood tax, this is a condition that every Astartes Chapter home planet must accept. Obviously, the top management of Nathan No. 5 understood this very well, and took the initiative to use noble blood to connect with the Astral Knights.
“I accept your support for the eternal cause of the chapter. After this batch of boys will be screened, qualified ones will have the opportunity to become a member of the battle brothers, and the failed survivors will also be members of the chapter for life. Service, your dedication, I will keep it in mind." With that, Soshyan stood up.
“We are in the same galaxy, and Naisen No. 5 is also half the hometown of the Chapter. This time I have received the love of Lord Gao, and I also feel a heavy responsibility. I hereby promise that the Astral Knights The Chapter will protect the safety and order of Nessun-5 just like it defends Nessun-4, and work hard to help it become more prosperous. Of course, the Astartes' duty is to fight, and you still need to do the specific implementation. After finishing the work at hand, I will go to Naison No. 5 to inspect it in person, but before that, I would like to warn you that after the tithe tax is cancelled, you must not beat the bones and suck out the marrow, levy and extort excessively, you need to know that the people should be respected and the people should be loved. I will praise you, and I will punish those who have done something wrong. The Astartes will not be as tolerant as the Ministry of Justice when enforcing the law. I hope you will behave yourself."
The nobles all responded. Lower your head.
"Yes."
"But at the same time, I also respect your hereditary rights. Nathan Four and Nathan Five will establish a fair trade alliance and jointly accept the war group protection and enjoy a share of trade with the Forge World"
In the past, Nathan 5 often had trade disputes with Nathan 4. After all, the two worlds are in the same galaxy, and Nathan 4 did not need to pay tithes, so they often resorted to low-price dumping to deal with Nathan 5. No. 1 to impact the local market, that is, because the Star Knights are there, there is no more intense conflict between the two sides. Now that Soshiyang has come forward to say so, the nobles of Nathan No. 5 are very grateful.
“Your justice makes the sun dim——”
“Okay, okay, don’t talk about that, just let it go.”
In After the nobles left, Soshyan simply summoned all the senior leaders of the battle group, including pharmacists, technical sergeants, chaplains and other functional staff, and held the first collective meeting after returning to the home planet in the reception hall.
The main content of the meeting is the allocation of new recruits and the allocation of company tasks.
"The strength of the Chapter before the expedition was 657 men, and was later supplemented by 309 and 112 recruits respectively. During the expedition, another 132 recruits (nobles from Sagan) were recruited, and a total of 293 battle brothers were killed during the entire expedition. , another 11 people entered the Dauntless, and when they arrived at Naisen IV, the number of the battle group was 906 people."
After saying that, Chief Pharmacist Nasin Balitaem raised his head, with many years of training. It has made him a lot more calm and capable. Since the war group has been working hard to increase the number of soldiers, he has been sitting in the rear for a long time and has not even participated in the expedition, but this will not affect his achievements in the slightest.
"Chapter Commander, including the 11th Company, in principle we are close to full strength."
The new recruits reported by Balita Em are all from the Brakato System No. 1 were recruited in one batch. As for why they were divided into two batches, it was because when this batch of recruits were sent to the front line at different transformation locations, the 309 recruits were transformed at Neisen No. 4, while the 112 were transformed at Braka. They were recruited on the spot in the system and transformed in the flagship Avesta. Due to fluctuations in the subspace route, the fleet that was supposed to arrive at the same time was finally divided into two batches and arrived two years apart. This was also the case since the establishment of the empire. A long-standing problem that has always troubled me.
"Currently there are 105 soldiers in the first company, 110 soldiers in the second company, 107 soldiers in the third company, 106 soldiers in the fourth company, 13 soldiers in the fifth company, 98 soldiers in the sixth company, and 98 soldiers in the tenth company. 243 soldiers, 11th Company. There are 81 soldiers, while there are 19 in the Apothecary Guild, 11 in the Armory, and 13 in the Priory.”
