Chapter 238 White Knight Mentor
After one round of the process, there are still ten psykers left out of twenty.
The remaining ten were either ordered to be sent back to Nuceria to be imprisoned, or were sentenced by Angron to work as coolies.
There is no way around this. After all, compared to the 1,980 good family members, these twenty psychics were originally brought here because they made mistakes. Ten of them can be left behind. This actually exceeded Qin Xia's expectations.
Think tanks should be in short supply rather than in excess.
Those who were able to stay either had Angron's insight into their hearts and discovered that they had no choice but to use psychic powers for profit and evil, or their souls were reviewed by Qin Xia and confirmed that their souls were absolutely tenacious and would not easily survive in the subspace. Fallen under the spell of creatures.
“Can the remaining 10 people become a think tank?” Angron asked Qin Xia’s plan.
Since Qin Xia is responsible for all matters related to the 12th Legion think tank, Angron does not know the specific selection process of the think tank.
“No, there is still one last step.” Qin Xia replied. But it didn't say what that link actually was.
Although it is a bit cumbersome to confirm again and again, considering the characteristics of psykers, it is still beneficial to be more cumbersome.
Don’t be afraid of tediousness when it comes to psychic-related accidents, and you can’t be afraid of tediousness either.
"Stand on the other side." Qin Xia gave the order to the psychics.
The psykers who could stay all stood on the right side of Qin Xia, no longer blocking the sight of Kiel and Angron, so that these two people could see those who had been selected by various harsh methods. Elite warriors selected by means, as well as erudite scholars.
“Wenzhi and martial arts.” Angron emphasized, “This word is what my father once told me. This word means great achievements in two indispensable matters: rule and military. It is also what I think. What my father asked of me, and since I became the leader of a legion, this will also be what I ask of every soldier of the legion."
Kiel stood in silence, holding his head high to listen to the primarch's instructions.
The Lord of the Twelve Legions was the focus of everyone's attention, and his flaming eyes swept over everyone in front of him.
"I will not ask you to excel in both domination and war, but I will ask you to excel in at least one of them."
"Space Marines The Legion was a military unit, at least for a while before and after my return, but from now on, at least the 12th Legion is not just a military unit."
"The Space Marines have more than just that. Ordinary people's lifespan, strength, thinking and intelligence have great advantages in governance and management, just like in combat. You must play to your advantages after you become a space warrior."
As he spoke, Angron said. Walk around on the right side and come under a high wall,
There are huge reliefs carved on the high walls.
On the relief is the symbol of the Twelfth Legion "World Eaters" - blood-red fangs and sharp teeth.
This logo originated from the city-devourer logo during the Nukerian War. It was originally a pattern used by the High Knights for propaganda purposes to highlight the "evil" and terrifying "destructive power" of the rebels. ".
But after this symbol spread, it became the spiritual totem of people on Nuceria and Nuwi, and became the symbol of the city-devourers, a powerful rebel army not seen in ten thousand years.
The fangs and sharp teeth on the relief are lifelike.
What is held in its fangs is the same planet pattern as the legion's logo.
The so-called World Eater is also reflected in the logo.
On the planet pattern that was gnawed by bloody teeth in the huge relief, red lines divided the surface of the planet into several land plates. Each land plate was engraved with a design designed by Angron himself. Glory logo.
There are chains, shabby houses, dry land full of cracks, and ferocious alien creatures...
It is worth mentioning that all the patterns are like the blood-red hornet. Just like the tooth itself, it is not so clear and refined that it resembles a photo or some kind of artistic design, but is simple and full of iconic features.
Like a stick figure.
Although it is not particularly gorgeous and delicate, it can at least allow people to see what those patterns mean at a glance.
"It is the glory our legion has achieved today."
Angron raised his hand and pointed at the chain.
"This means that our Legion once shattered an eternal servitude, just as I once shattered the enslavement of the High Knights on Nuceria."
"And this dilapidated house and dry land mean hardship."
"The ferocious-looking aliens represent the alien creatures that once enslaved humans in a certain world."
"We devour And crush them."
What Angron said is enough to make any legionnaire's blood boil, because Space Marines particularly admire glory.
But for people who are still mortals, the only thing they can empathize with is that Angron and Qin Xia once broke up the slavery on Nuceria and brought prosperity to Nuceria. and civilization.
As for the alien creatures that have enslaved humans... I really can't feel the same way.
"These patterns represent the glory you will receive after becoming a Space Marine." Angron turned his head and looked at Kil, "Take them to undergo transformation."
Kil saluted , with a small number of Space Marines in the Triumph Hall, they took away everyone except the psykers.
These men will learn from the Legion's past, as well as its present.
What is glory, what is imperial truth.
Most of these people are a group of people who grew up hearing about Nu Xing's past under the influence of their elders. They just want to give everything for Angron and Qin Xia and become Nu Xing's gratitude to the two people who broke the eternal enslavement. .
But after they receive training and transformation, they will become a truly qualified Space Marine.
“The last batch of Space Marine recruits should be almost finished training.” Qin Xia said.
These people are now the second batch of recruits sent by Nu Xing.
"In another week they will be able to join the battle." Angron calculated.
Those recruits have already undergone transformation surgery. The characteristics of the Nucerians make their transformation success rate as high as 90%. Even if the transformation fails, they will gain some advantages over ordinary people, such as lifespan and physical fitness. However, the transformation has not been completed. The Space Marines are so perfect.
They are being trained.
The Twelfth Legion originally did not have a strict training process. The only thing that could be called training was when veterans led new recruits in battle.
Angron has set up a complete training process and has also made arrangements for some transformation processes.
For example, those who have failed in transformation will stay in the legion as civilian officials to deal with some matters.
"It's pretty fast." Qin Xia rubbed her chin and calculated, "The underground stronghold has been built. I will test the weapons there in a week. I may also be able to bring new recruits to test their training results."
"If you want to bring those new soldiers, let my brothers and sisters accompany them." Angron mentioned his Blood Drinker Guards.
Qin Xia thought so too.
But this is a week from now, so there is no need to think about it in such detail yet.
Right now, Qin Xia has only one thing to do.
Qin Xia calculated, looking at the psykers who stayed behind, and at the 10 people whose eyes were full of fear of the unknown.
They still have one last process to go through. ...
The White Knight.
Ceremony Hall.
This is a recently completed site, a beautiful palace-like hall.
The establishment of this hall can be traced back to the first time the White Knight was damaged in battle. When the White Knight was repaired after the war, it should have been repaired by the Empire.
But at that time, the first batch of recruits of the legion were sent by Nu Xing, along with an engineering maintenance ship built by Nu Xing, so the White Knight was used by the engineering ship for training.
Facts have proved that it is not a waste to use a ship specifically for logistical maintenance work. The White Knight was quickly repaired, and by the way, a new place was started to be built at the captain's request. This is the current ceremony hall.
The gorgeous ceremony hall is paved with marble floors and decorated with silver or platinum. The main color is white, which just fits the name of the White Knight.
The captain didn't know that white knight was a psychological term, and thought that the name was the special color preference of the master of white knight.
All the gorgeous things in the hall are from the captain's private collection, or were bought by the captain.
“After he became the captain, he tried every means to embezzle a lot of money. He was probably afraid that you would use this as an excuse to liquidate him one day, so he bled him severely so that he would not be punished with death in the future.”
After sensing the captain's mind, Angron told Qin Xia the reason why the captain was enthusiastic about building the ceremony hall.
In any case, this hall was built anyway.
All think tank members were fully armed and stood on the marble floor of the ceremony hall, neatly arranged together.
In this environment that is very similar to a monastery, generally speaking, there should be a magnificent statue of the God-Emperor in front of the think tanks.
But the problem is that there is no state religion in 30K, and the empire does not want this.
So what is now located in front of the think tank is not a statue, but a podium paved with platinum and a shining relief on the marble wall behind the podium.
The relief is the logo of the think tank that was just released a week ago - white fangs and sharp teeth gnawing at a group of stars.
Classic World Eaters aesthetic.
"The Lord of the White Knight."
Qin Xia arrived quickly and entered the ceremony hall.
Chief Librarian Varis announced the arrival of the Lord of the White Knights to everyone.
All think tanks spread out to both sides to make way for the podium.
Qin Xia passed between the think tanks, and the psykers behind him followed him.
When Qin Xia had already stepped onto the podium, and the psychics behind him were in a daze about to follow Qin Xia up, two think tanks holding spears raised their weapons.
Two spears overlapped, blocking the path of the psykers.
The psykers realized that they had to stand below, so they immediately stood together honestly.
But because of the characteristics of the Nucerians, although they have not received formal military training and do not know each other, they still stand as closely as soldiers.
The think tanks turned around and looked at the Lord of the White Knights.
The psykers also looked up at the Lord of the White Knights.
Counting those psykers who have not yet become think tanks, there are only about forty people present.
"Varys." Qin Xia called the name of the chief think tank, and did not immediately mention the new members. Instead, he asked a question that had nothing to do with these mortal psykers, "Think tank branch." For four levels, what are these four levels?"
"The White Knight is a heart..."
Because Qin Xia had taken so many surprise tests, Varis, who almost blurted out his habitual answers, quickly changed his words.
"The White Knights are the think tank organization of the Twelve Legions. They are divided into four levels."
"First, there are the most basic compilers. They are responsible for recording and organizing some think tank materials. Doing the most basic things."
"The higher level is the chief scribe, who is responsible for managing the compilers."
"The higher level is the astrology officer. Since there is a dedicated person responsible for the astrological communication of our legion, this is just an officer title called astrological officer, who is responsible for managing all registrars.”
"The highest level is the think tank director and chief think tank. The leader of the think tank is responsible for directly accepting orders from the master of the think tank and making deployments. The master of the think tank does not belong to the rank of an officer, so he is not among the four levels. ”
Varys quickly answered this basic common sense.
While speaking, Varis always looked at the ten psykers, letting them know the general organizational structure of the think tank, and what kind of organizational form they should use if they really join the think tank. respective roles.
"In addition to this basic level division, I want to establish new positions." Qin Xia raised two fingers.
The think tanks listened quietly.
"The first one is the Director of the Great Library. This is a management title, responsible for managing all the things stored in the library. You search for a suitable person to fill this position among all the think tank brothers."
"The second one, the great mentor of the think tank."
At this point, Qin Xia's two fingers have been put down, which means that he has finished speaking.
But the think tanks are still waiting for what they think Qin Xia has not finished talking about, which is what the role of the think tank's great mentor is and who will hold it.
"Kamas." Qin Xia called suddenly.
The youngest think tank immediately stepped forward and saluted respectfully.
"Those two soldiers, are they awake now?" Qin Xia asked.
Camas shook his head.
Qin Xia frowned slightly, but after thinking about it, he still ordered: "Bring those two warriors from the Quadrant monks, they will be your great mentors. This is an honorary title, but there is indeed a need They did great things.”
Camas saluted again and turned to leave.
When the young think tank returned again, everyone saw two fully armed soldiers sitting in large wheelchairs.
The physiques of these two men showed their identity as Space Marines, but the two of them were obviously not very awake. They were sitting in wheelchairs propelled by Kamath's psychic energy, looking around like children. Or the stupid young man who is very curious about everything.
The two were the Gray Knights who were found and rescued by Qin Xia when the White Knight was attacked.
The two men were wearing the Holy Shield Terminator Armor of the Gray Knight.
