After wandering around various alien planets, several years have passed in a flash. The recruits are about to enter their tenth year of service, which is also the minimum year for graduation. This time, Yifeng will prepare a rebel planet for them as an assessment.

Ten years later, the materials for the second batch of Astartes recruits from the Adeptus Mechanicus have arrived. Although there are only 60 copies, the technical sergeant has already gone to preside over the next recruitment of Astartes recruits. Of course, it is on another planet, five colonies. Take turns.

Atris needs time to recover and will not conduct such large-scale activities for the time being.

Then there's the miserable Taste, a poor colony that was slain once by Khorne and then beheaded again by the Angels of the Dawn.

Although the Angel of Dawn beat Taste, she patted her butt and left without notifying anyone from the national church to take over.

This poor rebel planet originally had a population of several hundred million, but now I don't know if it has 100 million people.

Of course, the mission of the new recruits cannot be that simple. They will probably swear allegiance to the empire as soon as they see the Astartes. The mission given to them by Yifeng is to change the local political power and re-establish a red society with a complete system.

As for how to do it, it depends on your own analysis of the information collected during the investigation mission.

Taking advantage of the dark night, 42 new recruits landed on Taste. They used a disposable aircraft. After entering the atmosphere, they left the aircraft and slowly flew down through the glider. The aircraft was like what they often do in recent years. Like the fragments of the spacecraft, it turned into a ball of fire in the atmosphere and then disappeared completely.

Ha, it was discovered in space? Debris from the space station is still floating in space. If you can find it on land, I assume you have trachoma.

ha? Why 42? Recruit training also involves casualties. Although Yifeng was very careful, there were still 4 casualties and 8 prosthetic limb carriers.

Fortunately, Annos's sword is not old yet, and the quality of the prosthetic limbs he made is pretty good.

Yifeng will not participate in this operation. This is an assessment that belongs entirely to them. Before leaving, he said: "We are a very friendly army to the people, only to the people."

After the recruits went down for the trial, Yifeng slowly went to find the Great Pharmacist Situ Wal.

Each Chapter of the Astartes has its own special rituals, which are performed either during the transformation process of the new recruits, or during the training of the new recruits.

Like white scars, special symbols and totems need to be drawn on the face.

There is nothing wrong with these three war groups, but they really don't know the rituals of the Moon Wolves. After all, Yifeng only learned a little about the Warhammer world during the late-night story session in the dormitory before traveling.

Yifeng slowly walked to Situ Val. The great pharmacist was checking whether each "metal can" was functioning normally.

"What's the matter? Yifeng." Over the past few years of working together, everyone has gradually become familiar with each other, although neither Situ Val nor Anos like Yifeng's completely informal way of speaking and carefree personality.

"Stuvar, according to the current progress, how long will it take for you to restore the battle group to its full strength of 1,000 men?"

"Based on the current situation, it will take at least two hundred years, and that is without anyone influencing me at all."

"Then do you have any plans to recruit disciples? Obviously, there are no conditions for Astartes to go to a professional place to study."

Situ Val was stunned for a moment. Although many pharmacists in the Chapter gradually grew up by studying with the Great Pharmacist, this was usually done by Chapter Leaders who were outside the empire. For a war group like Will of the Storm, most of them go to professional places for further training.

"I can take care of trainee pharmacists, but it may take nearly 100 years for students to learn from scratch."

Situ Val was not sure either. He had never taught students with zero basic knowledge.

"Then let's start from now on. Do you have a suitable candidate?"

Situ Waer really didn't think about this matter carefully, after all, he was too busy now.

"What do you think, bro."

"Ten people go to the Forge World to study for a hundred years and study as a technical sergeant, and ten people follow you to study as an apothecary."

"This is too much. Do you want to train a battle group's technical personnel at once?"

"One hundred years, within one hundred years, at least it will be full."

"Impossible, this is too outrageous." Situ Val said that even if these one hundred recruit modification tanks were running at all times, it would be impossible for them to be full so quickly.

Yifeng acted like he was going to grab a few more motherships for you.

Yifeng is panicking, getting more and more panicked. Why is this subspace storm still there? Is Abaddon not home yet? Nothing big will happen on the battlefield in front of the Empire, right? Guilliman should be in the Empire now, so why is there such a stalemate?

On the other side, the technical sergeants were relatively simple. One of the 11 Sons of the Iron Hands died unexpectedly, and all ten of them were sent to the Mechanicum to study for a hundred years.

However, under the strong opposition of Yifeng, the model was still to use 2 people for each gene seed, and 4 people for the Sons of Iron Hands.

The remaining six are led by the technical sergeant Anos himself, even if he is just a subordinate.

The other big problem... is that the think tank is still wearing the bulk Dreadnought to sleep, and needs to find a way to get a new one.

The technical sergeant temporarily put aside everything and began to teach Yifeng.

It's a bit embarrassing to say that a Chapter Master has not yet worn the Terminator Armor. Of course, it's not the crude ranger-type Terminator that has Mark 8 power armor that adds a little more defense, but the cavalry-type Terminator armor that the empire has been using for who knows how many years.

The Primaris Astartes XL model, of course.

This kind of professional armor requires a lot of training for Astartes to fully master, and even Primaris Space Marines take a lot of time.

——————————————————————————————————

On the other side, a terrifying murderous intention lurks under the quiet night sky of Taste.

Humanity no longer has any so-called nest cities. It was completely destroyed in the war more than ten years ago. Now the remaining people have established gathering points and built primitive city walls to protect themselves.

There are terrifying beasts hidden in the tall forests and winding rivers on the periphery. Only the strongest and bravest warriors dare to hunt in the absence of heavy firepower.

Not all people who were good at manufacturing machinery were sacrificed. Although machinery factories were the key targets, there were still several underground factories that survived.

All the power was used in military industry. Without the hive and the organized army, they needed more firepower to suppress the ferocious predators in these terrifying jungles.

Relying on the warehouses and factories hidden underground in the jungle, after everyone built simple city defenses here, they began to absorb refugees from all over. The entire Taste planet fell into a high-tech tribal social structure.

Don’t underestimate the so-called underground factories. Factories in this era are large-scale factories, each of which requires hundreds of thousands of workers to operate.

Now, the leaders of various "tribes" are holding chief-of-chief talks.

The recruits learned the news after catching a man who was out hunting, and quickly headed to the tribe's assembly area.

The elite guards of each tribe were scattered throughout the forest area, but now they fell silently.

The recruits' attacks were extremely clever, and within the tiny wounds were completely dead brains.

But the leaders and soldiers were still looking at each other with hostility.

"What do you think of your Timber Wolf tribe? You agreed to cooperate in exploring the ruins, but why did you run away in the middle of the battle? Do you know how much damage our tribe has suffered as a result?"

"Can we be blamed for this? We discovered Taste's spiked mammoth, and you still want to fight? Tell you to run away quickly. Why did any of you commanders who don't know what was stuffed in their heads say that the God of Blood will protect me and then raise their swords?" Cut it up?"

The leader of the Blood Gem Tribe was also helpless. The man was on the verge of death when he first arrived. After everyone finally rescued him, they found that he was very good at hunting and hunted a lot of food.

So everyone elected him as the leader of the hunting group.

It was not until the hunting failed that he discovered that he was a believer of Khorne and had polluted many people in the tribe. The leader reluctantly carried out a large-scale cleanup.

"But this is not the reason for your retreat. Our people must have a way to deal with it, but it is difficult to start without your support." Although it is my own fault, I must not lose in terms of momentum. A dead duck is still talking hard, not to mention that I am a living Taste man. Huh, I am a Taste man, and I am hard all over.

"Okay, okay, we're not here to argue about this. We want to discuss the future journey together. At least decide whether to merge. If it's not possible, let's confirm our respective territories." Someone immediately came out to smooth things over. It was a joke, everyone We are all very busy, who has time to watch you bickering here?

Of the more than thirty leaders present here, they claim to be members of a tribe. Who doesn’t have over a million people under his command?

The organizer of this meeting is the most powerful, with nearly 10 million people under his command, occupying part of the Broken Hive.

Of course, this is what he deserves. In the despair of Khorne's invasion, he was the only one who continuously led the people to launch counterattacks. Taste's folk customs are very tough. If they were not at an absolute disadvantage in terms of equipment, they could even compete with Khorne's The mortal believers had a very close casualty ratio.

The great leader Puccini hoped to reunite mankind across the planet and rebuild their homeland together.

At this moment, he was the first to speak: "As you know, our planet has experienced an unprecedented disaster. Now we need to unite as one to rebuild the planet, continue to block the beasts in the jungle, restart factories and various supplies, We don’t have much time to re-establish the space station in space, and we must immediately organize an army strong enough to resist them before the other planets catch their breath, otherwise we will be meat on the chopping board.”

"Of course, this is our unanimous goal, but who should be our leader? In other words, why should that person convince the public?"

There will definitely be doubts. This reshuffle is the best chance for careerists to take action.

"Puccini, you know that although you are strong, once we unite, we can easily crush you."

"But do you have better candidates for leadership? Do you think there is any use in forming a parliamentary system? As we are now, discussing for a year is unlikely to produce any results."

"Then there will be a chaotic war? In that case, what's the point of us being here now?" The tribal representative spoke unscrupulously, because he was just a special envoy, and not all leaders had the courage to come here for a meeting.

"Indeed, why don't you listen to my opinion." One moment, everyone was still having a heated discussion, and the next moment, the whole place was silent.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Astartes!"

"Hello, I am a representative of the empire. You can call me William. There is no need to look around. Please rest assured about safety. The surroundings are well protected by my brothers."

Several more Astartes appeared to take care of William.

This speech was like the whisper of the god of death. Even if the followers of Khorne roared and rushed towards them before, it was not as scary as the current situation.

Puccini plucked up the courage to speak, knowing that no matter what, everyone present was in despair.

"So what suggestions does the Empire have?"

Puccini's attitude was as if he had invited the empire over, and many leaders glared at him.

"We're here to help you unify, we're here to help you rebuild, we're here to help you deal with threats from other planets, or...join?"

"Then what's the price? A representative of the Empire."

Puccini suppressed his anger and waited for the other party to make excessive demands.

William simply completed the task and explained the core program of Yifengfa to everyone, and all doubts were eliminated on the physical level.

The core of the system includes allowing people to pass the ability test to gain unlimited opportunities for advancement. Of course, it also means that people at the top have unlimited opportunities to decline. People's representatives form a meeting to issue appeals, and there will be violent agencies to ensure that everything here complies with regulations.

When it comes to violent institutions, what is more effective than Astarte? This is the second secret of hiding troops from the people, the county brigade and the district team, ah no, the grassroots "cadre" method.

The Astartes established direct guards and ideological training bases, and the members who came out would enter the grassroots army in an elite mode and become political commissars. As long as the army has power, others can only compete for administrative power.

Then the aristocratic system was abolished. Although the temporary administrative staff were still held by the original people, after five years everyone would study for the same test and allocate work according to ability. If anyone wants to mess around, hey, 5 years is enough for the Astartes to train an iron army.

Puccini's moustache twitched in anger, and judging from the veins popping up on his arms, he was in an extremely angry state. This condition is not for my life, it is for the lives of all the nobles.

But does he have a choice?

Other leaders have already voiced their opposition. But as for the letter, do you have more people at the bottom or at the top? Come to fight, you and the Astartes come to fight?

You all still have objections. After all, the number of Astartes emerging at this time is indeed not large. If you let your own troops cover this place with firepower, it is estimated that most of the Astartes here can be dealt with.

William stretched out a finger and pointed to the sky, "Come, let me show you two big babies."

When everyone looked up, good guys, the two battle barges were clearly visible even in space.

Okay, okay, whatever you say is what it is.

Several groups of Astartes each went to the territories of the most powerful leaders.

What followed was a very difficult period. Even Astartes recruits suffered many dangerous assassinations, and there were many practical problems to deal with in specific government operations.

After the recruits successfully controlled most of the important officials, a formal decree was issued.

When the skeptical people saw the Astartes appear, everyone was excited.

Common people actively participated, and various voting systems and armies were established.

Although you have to pay tithe to join the empire, can it still be heavier than the tax collected by these people? A colony that is isolated in the universe and surrounded by visible competitors has very no human rights. Everything is for the survival of its own planet and people.

There is no need to consider those things now. Not only that, most officials and nobles have also been pulled down for re-examination. The people who are struggling at the bottom finally have a glimmer of hope.

At least my children and grandchildren can hope to become decent people living a good life.

The cries in the upper nest were loud, but the enthusiasm for production in the lower nest increased by several levels.

Even basic education has been arranged for Xia nest. Of course, the population of Xia nest must be counted first.

Chopping meat with a blunt knife, chipping away at the nobility's rights bit by bit, everything depends on ability.

The advantage of this is that the planet can also be functionalized, and there is no need to worry about any "partiality" in any aspect.

He originally rebelled because he couldn't survive. After the rebellion, he couldn't survive even more. Why not try to return to the empire now?

Of course, the small leaders who did not follow the Astartes quickly formed an alliance. Anyway, if you want to take away my money and status, you might as well take my life.

Taste was once again caught in the flames of war, but this time the Astartes intervened.

It is impossible for you to ask new recruits to charge into battle and behead enemies. New recruits who have not yet undergone the power armor awarding ceremony are only wearing scout armor, but it is not difficult for Astartes to shoot a headshot from thousands of meters away. matter.

After another 30 days of war, the planet finally returned to peace.

There are still some casualties among the Astartes. One battle brother has joined the prosthetic army. Since the technical sergeant is not here now, he can only use the standard mechanical arm to support him.

Of course, according to official records, only 33 people finally passed the Astartes recruit assessment, and all other recruits died in the "cruel recruit assessment."

A grand Astartes armor conferment ceremony was held on the battle barge, and the freshly made (physically speaking) power armor was worn on the Astartes recruits.

These recruits are already normal Astartes warriors. Although they have experienced tough enough battles for recruits, they still lack experience against the main enemies of the empire, such as little green, little red and so on.

What's more, 10 people studied with the pharmacist, 10 people went to the Forge World to study, and 10 people were hiding on the planet Taste. They had power armor and matching weapons, but no one knew where they were hiding. They only knew that they were in groups of three. There is always one person whose whereabouts remain unknown.

There are only 12 Astartes available to Yifeng. Now, they will form a temporary second company. Six of the Astartes are still serving as technical sergeants. The technical sergeants are currently on another battleship, so this learning activity has been put on hold for the time being. .

When they gain enough experience and honors, they will be promoted to the First Company. Everyone is full of fighting spirit and wants to become the first soldier of the First Company.

After more than ten years of being a polished commander, Yifeng finally had available soldiers. It’s not easy, it’s the first time in my life that I am a serious cadre on duty.

Everything is changing for the better, isn't it?
