Chapter 2789: Watching the Codex
In fact, it stands to reason that the Astartes do not need to care about these things because they are mortals who are just like fools, because their influence comes from their supreme status and power, not administrative regulations, but then With the rapid expansion of the legion's auxiliary forces, its internal management will only become more complicated. After all, the army is composed of people. If the people problem is not handled well, it is ridiculous to talk about combat effectiveness. All Soshyan can think of is to use institutional guarantees. At least the army will not be "aristocratic", and the significance of introducing the Shengyan Order is also here. The system and ideology should be grasped to keep the mortal power struggle in a controllable balance state - hoping that mortals will not have factions and struggles, Sosh Yang would not have such a sweet dream.
As for the Holy Flame Religion, Soshiyang personally convened all the state religion bishops in the Nessen galaxy for a secret meeting. In fact, the state religion here has long been "tamed" in a sense. "Well, the appointment of all senior clergy members comes from Soshyan's will, and the Ecclesiarchy generally avoids areas under the jurisdiction of the Space Marines by default. This all stems from the different views and opinions of the Adeptus Astartes and the Ecclesiarchy on the Emperor. Cognition, fortunately, both parties have a tacit understanding, that is, to avoid each other, everyone is out of sight, the state religion still praises the angels, and the Astartes will not express any opinions on the teachings of the state religion.
The Nessen galaxy is the territory of Soshyan, the Astartes lord. In other words, he is the "patriarch" of this region, but he announced that he will implement a system "more suitable for the people of Nessen" After the sect accepted the faith, although the bishops were very surprised, no one objected. After all, there were more sects in the state religion than there were bricks in the Imperial City of Terra. Not to mention the bishops who came to the nest, they were just some low-dens missionaries. They can create an independent sect on their own. Although it is rare for an Astartes Lord to propose a sect, there is actually no problem in the practice of the state religion. As long as the state church does not object and the Inquisition does not come to investigate and then slap the label of heretical belief. That’s it.
Of course, as a relatively developed galaxy in the Nessen Galaxy, its belief situation is more complicated than that in Bracato, and the local church power is also stronger. The Holy Flame Order still needs to transform and expand. A certain period of time, but with the unlimited support of powerful power, this will not take much effort. After all, after this meeting, Our Lady of Velez will have the power of life and death over any clergy in the galaxy.
There are few things in the Empire that power cannot accomplish, and if there is, then add violence.
After arranging the affairs of the Holy Flame Order, Soshyan's affairs in the Nessen system are not over yet. After Ustad leaves, the Chapter still has many things that he needs to deal with personally, such as checking The transformation of the latest batch of recruits. They were recruited six years ago. After six years of transformation surgery, this batch of recruits totaled 1,000 before transformation. The maximum number of recruits left after transformation was 932. The success rate has exceeded 90%. , which is considered to be ridiculously high. This is due to the already very experienced pharmacists association and various mysterious strengthening drugs, which also allows the legion to increase the number of people close to a battle group at one time.
Among these 932 people, 271 are gray marrow adapters, but they are still in the adaptation stage to their own power.
Soshyan also conveyed the news of the regiment's restructuring and the merger of the Pharmacists Association to the pharmacists who stayed in the monastery fortress. This batch of reformed recruits would no longer be divided on the basis of battle groups, but It is collectively known as the Reserve Regiment. This regiment is actually the merger of the White Templar and Astral Knight Recruit Companies. This is also part of the Legion's restructuring. The combat company will not include the Recruit Company. All recruits will serve in the Reserve Regiment for a period of time, based on their individual performance. Directly assigned to each combat company, the accompanying expansion is the expansion of the company's number. Now the standard establishment of each combat company is 150 people, of which there must be no less than 30 recruits. This kind of old-to-new recruitment is the best way to improve the quality of recruits. .
The future activity and training base of the reserve regiment will be the Avesta, so after meeting these recruits, Soshyan also told them in detail the content and significance of this regiment reform, which was more surprising. What he cared about was Licas, the boy he brought back from the desert of Naison III. He also survived the transformation surgery and was still an adapter for Gray Marrow.
Now, he is no longer as thin as before, but his perseverance is still deeply imprinted on him.
Soon, they will follow the fleet departing from the Nessen system to the Brakato system, where they will accept the arrangements of the Archon Council and begin their real Astartes service.
Of course Soshyan did not forget to visit Andal and Sartak on Naisen III. At this time, the orbiting space station of this planet was already quite large. With the help of the Astral Knights Pharmacist Association, Tiger Claw also transformed 91 soldiers. Although it was just enough for one company, it also meant that the former Star Claw regiment was resurrected again. Soshyan talked to Andal about the Necron. As a former Death Watch, Andal knew more about this alien race than the average Space Marine. He had even carried out missions against the Necron.
In addition, he privately revealed a "top secret information" about Death Watch to Soshyan.
"The Secret Code of Deles?"
In the secret room in the space station, Soshyan's eyes flickered slightly when he heard what Andal mentioned.
"What is this?"
Standing opposite him, Andal thought for a moment, and briefly replied:
"The highest level hidden in the Watch Fortress Eliok The red-level collection in the Omega Vault is now being kept and cracked by the Death Secret Society of the Alien Tribunal. It is impossible to verify when this thing appeared, but it is extremely old and is said to involve the era before the birth of mankind. , when I was in charge of the Malice Star Watch Fortress, I assisted the members of the Death Society in searching for alien relics related to the secret code records. However, the inquisitor unfortunately died during the operation, so I transferred his notes and relics to Death. The secret society, I learned a little bit about it in the process.”
Andal said it tactfully, but he probably just peeked.
"The content of this ancient book seems to be narrated in the form of riddles and fables, mainly about the arrangement of different galaxies and certain unique stellar phenomena, which are key to the area guarded by the Death Watch. There are striking similarities between galaxies and locations, although they are not completely similar.”
Soshiyang thought for a while, and a possibility emerged in his mind. This thing was probably not written by the Eldar.
“The Secret Book mentions a prophecy, a moment of awakening triggered by the alignment of certain distant stars and the release of a catastrophic force, a lifeless disaster that will Covering up the harbinger of the destruction of all things, it also mentions something called the Crippled King. When it wakes up, a powerful force will be released. In order to dissipate the release of this force and thus keep its secret, The Crippled King has established a vast network of mysterious nodes, its palace will be able to be hidden, and the power unleashed by the awakening will be released from a hundred valves."
