"Ricas, are you willing to become an angel and fight for the emperor."
Suddenly, the other person's words exploded in Ricas's ears like thunder, and the tribesmen around him also let out a burst of laughter at the same time. Exclamations.
"My Angel"
Ricas's little mind was completely confused and he couldn't react at all.
"Ricas, answer me, immediately."
The other party's voice carried irrefutable authority. Ricas's body trembled, and then he swallowed his dry and burning throat and hissed:
"Are you going to heaven?"
< br>"No, it's to hell."
Likas lowered his head and muttered for a moment. When he looked up at Soshyan again, his eyes were less confused.
“I understand, you want me to atone for my sins, right?”
"If you are willing to understand in this way, no problem."
"Then, can I ask one last question?"
Looking at the man kneeling on the ground with his head raised and half-squinted eyes, brown The boy whose skin was chapped by the dry and hot wind, Soshiyang nodded slightly.
“Yes.”
“What kind of war and demons require an angel like you.”
At this time, an imperceptible smile appeared on Soshyan's face.
"A very good question, that is a war that your little mind can never imagine."
After saying that, he looked at those who were still kneeling on the ground.
“So you need to say goodbye to them?”
“Now”
Ricas lowered his head to look at the teacher's body, then gently placed it on the ground, then came to the leader, knelt down and kowtowed to him.
"Please help me bury the teacher. His soul has returned to heaven, and his body should return to the earth."
The team leader kept nodding and said tremblingly:
"Libu, Lord Angel, I will bury the chanter well, and we will spread the miracle of your ascension to heaven today to the earth. You are the first saint to embark on the path of angels, and we will build a building for you here. Magnificent altar!”
Ricas was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
"Uh, no need."
After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the huge angel. Soshyan also turned around and walked towards Storm Bird.
"Lord Angel, how should I call you?"
Hearing the voice of the boy behind him, Soshyan stepped into the hot sunshine and replied slowly: "Call I’ll just be the leader.”
"Chapter Leader"
At this time, those who were still kneeling on the ground began to chant loudly, as if they were witnessing a great miracle. Ricas followed the giants and staggered into the sunshine. He felt very hot, unprecedentedly hot, perhaps more from the fear in his heart. Everything today seemed like a dream.
Bleeding, death, heaven, angels.
Everything seemed so irrational, so psychedelic, his life seemed to be completely crushed by an invisible hand, and then And put it together into something he didn't recognize.
When he saw the metal flying dragon at close range, Ricas suddenly realized that it might not be life. Although he didn't know what it was, he instinctively felt that this thing was not life, and that thing was not life. The dark hole in his abdomen seemed to symbolize the uncertain future of his destiny.
"We are Chapter Commander, where are we going?"
On the boarding ramp, Soshyan turned around.
“Go to the end of the world.”
“Then what will happen to me? How to become an angel?”
“You will experience a new life, but the process is painful , if you are lucky enough to survive, you will see a whole new world, a world filled with only war.”
After saying that, Soshyan took off the translator and turned around and walked into the cabin.
Ricas blinked, turned around and glanced at the tribesmen who were still kneeling on the ground. He tore off the blood-stained robe and threw it into the sky, letting it go with the wind, and then never looked back. stepped into the cabin of Storm Bird.
After another patrol over the planet, Stormbird returned to the space station in orbit. Then, under the auspices of Soshyan, Nessen-3 conducted the first selection of Astartes recruits.
Due to the special environment and social form of the planet, this selection is more of an experimental nature. The Astral Knights sent twenty Thunder Eagles to the twenty largest city-states in the world. First, they met with the local After communicating with the Sun Order, after preliminary genetic and physical examinations, the twenty strongest and healthiest boys from each city were selected. They were the first batch of Astartes candidates on Planet Nessen III.
Of course, no one can say how many people will survive the transformation in the end. After all, the existing data come from candidates recruited from planets many times. Although they are all humans, between the empire humans and Human genetic differences are sometimes astonishingly large, and genetic differences caused by worlds with completely different environments often become the decisive factor in determining the success rate of transformation surgery.
After recruiting 401 candidates, Soshyan left a frigate and some flying vehicles to Naisen III. After that, it was managed by Andal and his Tiger Claw Chapter for a long time. ——It is said to be a war group, but there is only one war group leader and one think tank fearless, who are truly polished commanders. They are even poorer than when Soshiyang first took over the war group.
Although in principle, Valiel, as a former Star Claw Apothecary, should also belong to Tiger Claw, the Badab War broke out not long after he became an Astartes. The Claw Chapter has basically no emotions, and they have never seen Andal, who left the Chapter early and went to the Death Watch, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to run away with Talos.
Andal once talked with Valier alone for a long time. It cannot be said that the two parties broke up on bad terms, but at least as a result, Valier did not choose to return to the Tiger Claws immediately, but he also told Sol Shi Yang will assist Tiger Claw in carrying out the transformation surgery on the new recruits, but he will definitely not be able to rely on him alone. The new recruits recruited by Tiger Claw will still have to be transformed by the pharmacist team of the Star Knight for the time being.
As for the future
No one can tell the future. Andal feels that Valier will eventually return to Tiger Claw, after he has transformed batch after batch of Tiger Claw recruits. , he will eventually identify with his bloodline identity.
Soshyan agrees with this, but Valier also knows too many secrets of the Astral Knights and the Undead Army. If he is really allowed to leave, will there be new variables in the future?
After all, things will change, and so will people. This is something Soshyan has to consider.
Perhaps it would be better to leave this matter to Talos.
After finishing the journey to Naisen 3, Soshyan ordered a transport ship to send the recruits to Naisen 4, while he took the flagship to inspect Naisen 2 and 1.
Because these two worlds are close to the star and have almost no atmosphere, the surface temperature is astonishingly high and they are simply uninhabitable. Griffin 4 only arranged a resource collection station in each of the two dead worlds. Even the protection system of Nathan No. 1 failed due to the disrepair of the space station. It had been abandoned long before the arrival of the Astral Knights. Together with the facilities on the planet, it can be said that Nassen No. 1 is now empty. Regarding the resources here Situation Griffin 4 has made a simple summary. Generally speaking, this planet has a high content of heavy elements and is actually very rich in resources. Among them, there are more than 80 key rare metals. That is the comparison of development costs. High, and it was far away from the homeland of Griffin IV, so there was no big effort.
