After greeting the lost blood of these legions with cheers, Soshyan walked to the front of the line and began shaking hands with everyone one by one, asking their names.
Although there is some help and supplies from Li, the situation of this wandering war group is still in embarrassment. Among them, there are 98 "new recruits" within two hundred years. The original veterans of the war group have withered many, and There is an extreme shortage of technical personnel. There is only one technical sergeant and one pharmacist. In order to adapt to the "war gang" battle, Texhar divided the entire team into 4 combat companies, each with 30-60 people. There are 4 combat company commanders.
As for the armament situation, it is even worse. Even many bolters are captured. Even the amount of explosives used in battle needs to be carefully calculated. This has led them to form a tradition of preferring close combat, but the use of close combat is The loss of protective gear has put the entire regiment's power armor in a state of extreme tension. Many people have even had their armor replaced. Only a Land Raider and a Thunderhawk are left as vehicles, and the Terminator is also in a state of extreme tension. All that is left is an unyielding patchwork.
In fact, if it were normal, Soshyan would have to doubt whether they had been contaminated by Chaos, but the moment Texhar revealed his gray marrow, Soshyan gave up this doubt, regardless of his character. Sex and intelligence aside, at least he certainly won't be corrupted by the forces of Chaos, and the only thing left to do is to slowly dilute their hatred of the Imperial Fists.
Fortunately, although these people hate the Imperial Fists and despise the imperial bureaucracy, they are still loyal to the throne, although their loyalty comes from a very strange point of view-the emperor still loves his brothers The Primarch who murdered them was the one who secretly preserved the bloodline of the Eleventh Legion and erased everyone's memories to prevent the Primarch from discovering them.
In short, although it is a bit strange, they have a deep recognition of the Legion, even more than some veterans of the Astral Knights. The Legion has almost become their belief in a sense. This is probably the same as Texhar's day after day.
There is also an interesting thing here about the sermon of the day, that is, Texhar did not take over the position of chapter leader. Instead, he took over the position of priest, calling himself Safu - this is An ancient position in the legion era, its role is similar to that of a priest. It mainly inspires and guides the spirit of soldiers on the battlefield, and answers the confusion and doubts that arise in the hearts of soldiers in peacetime.
In other words, after leaving the Empire, the Poisonous Thorns Chapter has never had a Chapter Leader, and is led by Priest Texhar.
What Texhar preaches on weekdays is basically the same as the glory of the legion, but he actually has a military notebook in his hand, which was written by a narrator in the eleventh legion in the past. It records some of the battles and events of the legion for more than ten years before and more than ten years after the recovery of the original body, as well as descriptions and interview notes of some warriors. It may be the only one in the galaxy now about Detailed records of the period of transformation of the XI Corps, according to Texhar, were given to him by Lee.
Soshiyang immediately realized that this was very important information, but this thing might also be completely made up by Li, and he had to see it in person to identify it.
But no matter what, Texhar ultimately created a group of warriors who have fanatical admiration and love for the Legion.
Part of this admiration and love is naturally transferred to Soshyan, not only because of his status as the commander of the army, but also because of Soshyan’s achievements and achievements over the years, although they are already rebels of the empire , but they are still proud of having such a great bloodline. More importantly, the message Li conveyed to them also explained one thing - the appearance of Soshyan is very similar to that of the original body.
Soshiyang has no idea about the arrangements of these people in the short term. He can only wait until the government affairs of Planet Naisen are handled.
After shaking hands with everyone, Soshiyang introduced the situation of the legion to everyone in public. Currently, there are two numbers: White Templar and Astral Knight. The total number of people on both sides is almost two thousand. After that, he briefly talked about the situation of the Astral Knights, as well as some major events that happened in the past, including the previous Soul Drinker Chapter, as well as the company that contained the Crimson Saber and the Eighth Legion.
The matter of the Soul Drinkers is nothing. After all, it is also the affairs of the legion. The Crimson Saber is a friendly help, and everyone understands it. But when it comes to the Eighth Legion, even the former Poison Thorns who have become "rebels" , and could not help but express surprise and doubt.
After all, the reputation of the people in this legion is indeed too bad. Even the Chaos War Gang may not be able to stand them.
The words "Midnight Lord", even if you get the Eye of Terror's talent market, it will be a big deal. After all, even the madness of the World Eater is at least predictable and capricious. Everyone is used to it. The neurotic Emperor's Children can always be comforted with medicine. Only the Night Lords and no Chaos Lord dare to say that they can control this group of lunatics, neurotics and capricious villains. stuff in between.
Although Texhar and the others have not really entered the "society" on the other side of Chaos, the Venomous Thorns Chapter has fought against the Night Lords' warbands many times in history. In the Ghoul Sector I also had conflicts with these people.
Soshyan then patiently explained the origin of the Eleventh Company, and of course he must have concealed part of it. He only said that Talos had helped him, and that this man was different from other Midnight Lords, and he also told Our Primarch Xerxes and the Primarch of the Eighth Legion, Curze, actually have a close friendship. Talos is also carrying out the orders of the Primarch of the Eighth Legion. Finally, he detailed the achievements of the 11th Company in previous battles. Only then did Talos barely dispel their doubts.
Of course, Soshyan also knew that it was unrealistic to give up completely. After all, the relationship between the original body and Curze was just his own opinion, and there was no evidence.
But fortunately, his prestige is still useful.
Finally, when Soshyan told everyone that the Legion's flagship had been recovered, and that the Primarch's wife was in the monastery fortress of Nessin IV, many people burst into cheers. Perhaps this meant something to them. That's the most important thing.
After introducing the current situation of the legion, Soshyan asked Mark to arrange for these people to stay in the flagship first, while the Stinger, the original flagship of the Venomous Thorn Chapter, went to Naisen under the escort of a frigate formation. The shipyard on the 4th is undergoing repairs - according to the situation described by Tekshar, their battle barge is about to become a scrap due to lack of effective maintenance. It is not easy to drive here. On the way, they also met a man in the subspace. The Chaos warbands who tried to plunder the ship fought hard, causing some damage to the hull, which continued to be repaired.
The most important thing is that Soshyan also wants to get to know these warriors more closely and observe their every word and deed.
