The Emperor’s Angel of Death

UPDATE: After dinner, their day ends in a few hours in the meditation room.

Every seven days, they would gather in the church, and the priest Yazdan would personally come to preach to them, telling them the ancient legends of the chapters and legions, and tempering their hearts and wills with the great works of their predecessors.

As a day turned into a week, and a week into a month, Jacob found himself more and more accustomed to new roles and positions. He knew the names of many people in the Chapter, including some non-Space Marine characters, such as several important techs. priest.

They even visited the screening ceremony for new candidates. Most of these boys were said to have been brought by the Chapter from elsewhere, and then, like them, they had to undergo rigorous tempering and shaping. Many of them were could not survive.

When looking at the whole process as a bystander, Jacob finally realizes how lucky he is.

In addition to daily training, they also regularly conduct actual combat drills. The venue is usually in a certain forest on Nathan 4. The form of the drill is also very simple, that is, it is divided into two teams of red and blue to compete.

The first actual combat drill was new to Jacob, and he was looking forward to it. As the team's scout, he quickly rushed through the dense forest, letting the green leaves beat him in the face and the plants snapped under his knees.

During the sprint, he ducked a stumbling vine, landed on his knees, rolled forward across the ground covered with fallen leaves, and hid behind a fallen giant tree.

He heard some noises from the plants in front of him, lifted the leaves in front of his face, looked down the barrel of the pistol and fired a shot.

Bullets flew over the leaves and exploded, leaving a cloud of paint on some hapless guy.

"Fuck!"

The red team member who was hit wailed, put his hand on his chest, pressed the button to disconnect from the communication network, and then fell to the ground.

Jacob smiled contentedly. This was the third Red Team member he had beaten in this training, and he was now completely oblivious to his role as a scout, just basking in the power he gained.

He even thought he could kill the team alone, and he enjoyed it and was happy with himself, and his shooting skills improved with practice, as Bahram told him.

"Next."

Jacob said softly, moving cautiously, trying to find the next member of the red team.

"You're done, Jacob."

A voice came from behind, and Jacob turned to raise his gun in defense, but it was too late.

Herbert stood there, the pistol already pointed at him, and pulled the trigger with a sneer.

The next moment, the impact of the bullet knocked Jacob down, a cloud of paint covering his training armor.

Jacob briefly considered ignoring the attack and hitting back, but his sense of honor wouldn't allow him, perhaps because he knew the sergeants were watching him with floating cameras.

Then, annoyed, he pressed the button on his chest and disconnected himself from the communication network.

Herbert stared at him and hissed:

"Your team failed. While you were hanging out, we deployed an ambush ring to let all your unintelligible teammates fall in, and the one you just hit was just a bait to get you out."

Jacob cursed, ignoring what the other party said next.

Still, he was glad that Herbert had shot a paintball instead of a real bullet, and wondered if the other party would have pulled the trigger so quickly if there were real bullets in the gun.

At least their current relationship is still very bad, and the future should not be better there.

As soon as they walked out of the training ground, they saw that the instructors had gathered together, in addition to some other people, some Space Marines in white armor.

"Everyone, gather now! The Chapter Commander and the distinguished guests of the White Sanctuary are here!"

The whistle sounded, and all the recruits rallied immediately, and not far away, Soshyan and Randall were pointing at them.

Randall and the White Sanctuary team arrived in the Nathan system five days ago. Before coming here, he went to the flagship to have a look, and then came to Nathan 4. The first thing he did was to meet Queen Elena. .

After the completion, Soshyan shared his layout and vision in the Bracato system with Randall, and received the support of the other party, and also made relevant plans for the follow-up immigration and relocation of the chapter.

Then Soshyan and Randall talked about the hulk again. The two sides exchanged opinions and came up with a plan to wait and see.

"...This time, of the 300 applicants, 221 were successfully transformed. Such a high success rate is due to those newly developed medicines. There are also 20 successful gray pulp implanters. Take a look What a spirit these guys are."

Soshyan proudly told Randall about the results of this recruit transformation, and when he got this statistic, he was ecstatic.

This has completely made up for the battle losses of the first 30 years of the battle group.

However, Armin and others also reported that the knowledge crown has some defects and cannot completely replace manual teaching, but these are small problems.

Randall looked at the assembled recruits and nodded, and said with a smile:

"Yeah, they're some great lads."

"I want to transfer some of them to your warband."

"Haha, okay, as long as you are willing to be on my side as long as the commander of the legion, there will be no problem."

After the recruits were assembled, Soshyan and Randall stepped onto the high platform and looked at them.

His face was full of pride, reflected in Jacob's heart and in the expressions of all the recruits present.

For Jacob, this was the last time he had seen the Chapter Master in action, and through that knowledge he learned what had happened to the Astral Knights, who in some ways were more than just the founders of the Chapter. , is also the founder of the Legion. The Knowledge Engine describes him as the "Father of Reinvention", and his admiration is deeply embedded in the minds of every recruit. Soshyan didn't know that someone secretly added these to the Knowledge Engine.

"You've done a great job learning everything you've been taught, and you can be proud of having survived a trial meant for only a very few."

With that said, Soshyang changed the subject.

"But don't be too proud, because everything you learn here should point to the same truth, that the life of a Space Marine is a long trial, and there are many ways a warrior can fail in this trial, he Maybe become cowardly ~www.readwn.com~ unable to do his duty, or fall into error and sin, he may harbor a little personal suspicion or hatred..."

For some reason, Jacob felt that the Chapter Master looked directly at him when he said this.

He wasn't sure.

"...or a hint of weakness! Let those diabolical enemies get into his soul and corrupt him! We can never forget what happened to some Chapters, fallen warriors who were in many senses Mighty people, even stronger than us, but they are still fallen! So you must remember that we are fighting on a physical level, and we are also fighting a spiritual level with the enemy, and our belief in the Emperor and Mission is Our shield!"

"Never forget the meaning of this long, test-filled life! After this, you will serve the Empire and Humanity in all ways and at all times with your body, consciousness and soul, as you have always been, Even after death."

Jacob puffed out his chest. He felt that this was the proudest moment of his life.
