Chapter 197: From today on, I am the Phoenix

In an era that cannot be verified, the Emperor who was still on earth created gene seeds and created Space Marines.

Today, this technology has long been lost.

In the current era, gene seeds can only be produced by Space Marines themselves. Moreover, due to the long separation, the gene seeds of each historical war group have slowly produced some subtle differences. After the genetic surgery is completed and the Space Marines are created, their characteristics will also be different.

The gene seed bank accumulated by the Phoenix Chapter over the long years has been destroyed.

According to the history of the Chapter that Martins once told, in the final battle to end the Centennial Atonement Crusade, the flagship of the Chapter with the Chapter's arsenal and the Chapter's gene bank was already destroyed in a big explosion. Completely ceased to exist.

If you want to see the gene seeds of the Phoenix again in this world, apart from the ones picked out after the death of the seven living warriors, the rest can only be found in the Imperial Gene Seed Vault. Yes.

The Space Marine Chapter also needs to pay taxes, which are called gene seed taxes. Periodically, 10 of the new seeds generated by the Chapter during this period need to be paid. The Adeptus Mechanicus and the Imperial Church check whether the Chapter's gene seeds are still pure. In this way, they can confirm that there are no problems with the Chapter.

The seeds that pass the inspection will enter the imperial gene bank and will generally be used to establish new war groups.

In this way, the Phoenix Chapter can theoretically request assistance from the Empire and rebuild the Chapter through the gene-seed taxes they paid in the past.

But in fact, this is impossible.

First of all, Phoenix applied, but nothing happened. The empire does not have this rule. There has never been a rule that says that if a war group suffers heavy losses, it can replenish its troops from past seed taxes.

The Empire really doesn’t have the motivation to do this, so why should it replenish the strength of the old war group?

From Gu Hang’s perspective, if he were a member of the Empire’s Supreme Council, He didn't agree either.

The Space Marine Chapters are within the Empire. According to the regulations of the Holy Code, each one is the same as an independent warlord. Most have their own home planets, which do not pay taxes; the Space Marine Chapters are generally obedient, but there are many who follow the instructions but do not listen to the propaganda;

The Empire does not even have a person with the power to specifically govern the Space Marines There is no such organization. Letting Space Marines do their work is like the relationship between Gu Hang and the Phoenix. They have to issue orders and entrust them. If they really don’t do it, or if they don’t contribute, they will have to be judged unless they fall out. There are no conventional means of punishment or restriction other than the name of traitor.

And it is not that simple to call him a traitor. Which war group has a long history without a bunch of comrades, good friends, planets saved by them, etc. It's all about relationships and political backers. They can judge whatever they want. The war between their parent group and the same sect. Groups emerged one by one to fight against injustice.

If there is real evidence, that is another matter; if there is even a little bit of controversy, this matter will not be resolved.

In this case, why is there really a need to support the old war group? Just build a new one and that's it.

Let the old group find its own way.

Especially the Phoenix Chapter, which has a criminal record and was actually sentenced to a redemption expedition. Their political connections were almost wiped out, let alone support. If I don't have the time to save you, it's better to build a new group. It's not like the Phoenix with a lot of unclear historical issues.

Without any hope of getting new seeds from the empire, all they can rely on is themselves.

The sacrifices of three soldiers brought three seeds of hope, but all operations failed.

This means that the seeds of the Phoenix Chapter are only left in the four people who are still alive.

Theoretically, it cannot be found anywhere else.

In this case, Gu Hang took out one.

What do you mean?

Are you related to the above, got the gene seeds, or what?

No matter what reason Gu Hangbian can’t explain, . It was impossible for him to say that the Imperial Gene Bank had authorized him to obtain a batch of phoenix seeds. What a liar. Such a thing had never happened in the entire empire's tens of thousands of years of history.

But continue to act stupid and refuse to admit it?

It doesn’t seem right either.

It has been half a year since Gu Hang obtained the ability to exchange gene seeds. It is impossible to say that he is not itchy. He has also been planning for this opportunity to use the exchange ability of gene seeds.

If he hadn't had this idea, when the beautiful girl's caravan was there before, he was so full that he spent a lot of money to buy twenty sets of power armor

Isn't that just for that? One day?

According to Care Hang's original plan, he wanted to wait until Wu Jiarong found time to let the priest of the Mechanicus study how to perform gene implantation surgery.

This work does not have to be done by Space Marines. In fact, when the Empire wanted to create a new chapter, it was also the Adeptus Mechanicus who took charge.

The only problem is that Wu Jiarong does not specialize in genetic engineering. In comparison, Hu Ke is a better choice, but if you consider the level of trust, Wu Jiarong is the best choice.

Let her do some research, and then Gu Hang will find some young people with qualifications and potential, train them to the T1 level using the military card system, and then exchange them for gene seeds. The total cost is 211 gift points, plus the life of a potential young man, as the price for Wu Jiarong's practice.

Even if you fail, you should be able to do it after practicing a few times.

Anyway, gene seeds are not precious to Gu Hang, it is just a gift of 100 points. Nowadays, it costs far more than this amount of money to produce a technology.

The only concern is how to explain it after it happens.

If we take this opportunity now and reach an agreement with the Phoenix Chapter, it will be almost a perfect situation.

Moreover, people came running over and almost clarified the situation. There was not much room to continue pretending to be stupid.

Sitting on his governor's throne, Gu Hang looked down at the four Space Marines, focusing especially on Martins and Rizzo.

He could see the relief and tension on Martins' face.

He can also see that Pastor Rizzo has opened his eyes at some point, and his expression is full of expectation at this moment, even a little fanatical

It reminds me of Martin just now According to Si's story, they were led to the Raging Owl because of the fact that Rizzo was praying to the Emperor. He gritted his teeth and decided to give it a try.

He thought clearly. In a desperate situation, this group of phoenixes, who were focused on how to continue the war group, faced an unknown force that came from nowhere but was indeed an immortal. When looking for the gene seeds of the descendants of birds, it is very likely that they will really give up searching for the reasons and just hope that the war group can survive.

The Space Marines are known as the Emperor's Angels of Death. This is true. They all value loyalty very much. But there are no Space Marines who rebel.

That's not true.

Traitor Chapters, Chaos Space Marine Warbands, these are real things.

Isn’t that just a branch of the Loyalist Space Marines?

The Phoenix Birds are like this now. If they don’t want the Chapter to survive, they would be unhappy if they directly rebel. There was a small chance of agreeing, not to mention that what Gu Hang wanted them to do next was not to make them rebel.

Furthermore, Gu Hang looked at Rizzo and always felt that the chief priest would become a key, and maybe he would become his internal agent.

Thinking of this, Gu Hang took a deep breath and said seriously to the four space warriors below, "If you say so, I have indeed thought of a way to help you. ”

To start with, Gu Hang didn’t go into details, leaving some room.

He spoke very slowly, and did not forget to observe the expressions of Martins and Rizzo.

The longing look on Martins' face suddenly became full of hope.

The Chapter Leader looked at him with longing eyes, looking forward to what he would say next.

And the fanatical look on Rizzo's face became even more obvious.

The reactions of the two people made Gu Hang feel relieved.

Their first concern is not why this governor can help us obtain gene seeds, but that he can agree to any conditions, which in itself explains a lot of problems.

He continued, "But this matter is too important and special, and involves some secrets. I will also pay a big price for it, which exceeds the level of my support for you. So. , if you need this kind of special help, I need you to agree to a few conditions."

Martins couldn't wait to say, "I will agree to whatever conditions you tell me."

He was indeed ready to pay any price in his heart.

Gu Hang raised a finger, "First of all, the Phoenix Chapter needs to be loyal to me."

Just this first point made Martins stunned. .

A warband, loyal to a planetary governor

Has this kind of thing ever happened in the entire history of mankind?

Planetary governor, isn’t that all war? Mortals appointed by the regiment to help them manage the planet. At best, they play the role of stewards. If they don’t do well, they will be replaced.

Now, the regiment must be loyal to the planetary governor

He's a little bit intolerant of it.

Gu Hang's expression calmed down, "I think what I want to say is more clear. This has gone beyond my ability to help my allies. You should also understand. You can only help your own people, your true own people." , I can pay the price."

After a pause, Gu Hang leaned forward and stared at Martins. "I am ready to pay the price for the revival of the Chapter, but only if this is done. This is my Chapter. So, Chapter Commander Martins, you said you are willing to pay any price, so what you just said still counts?"

"I" Martins looked at Rizzo again. .

But he only saw Pastor Rizzo’s encouraging eyes.

"I agree." Martins lowered his noble head.

"Then take the oath." Gu Hang said.

Now that he has agreed, what else is there to say?

Martins knelt down on one knee to Gu Hang, who was sitting on the governor’s throne in front of the golden statue of the emperor. He also lowered his proud head.

Following his movements, Rizzo and the other two Space Marines also knelt down.

The next step should be the swearing-in process.

But Martins pursed his lips tightly.

He didn't know how to speak.

At this time, Pastor Rizzo said, "It is my job to lead the regiment to swear oaths and sing prayers. I will do it."

Martins breathed a sigh of relief,< /p>

The chief pastor is still somewhat useful at critical moments, at least taking his place in this most embarrassing link.

But soon, he stopped laughing.

"From today on, I am the Phoenix"

The first sentence Rizzo spoke made the DNA of the three Martins move.

This is the Chapter Oath of the Phoenix Chapter. Every battle brother must memorize it when he officially joins the Chapter, and must swear an oath to the Emperor in front of all battle brothers. It’s time to recite. After that, almost every banquet, dinner, or prayer of the war group would start with this.

I’ve known it by heart for a long time.

In the past war groups, including the current war group, every time they held similar prayer activities, Rizzo, the chief priest, took the lead. Everyone was already very familiar with this, so the three of them acted almost instinctively, just followingChant it out.

"From today on, I am the Phoenix"

"I am the emperor's sword and also the sword of Gu Hang."

Three people His eyes widened for a moment, looking at Rizzo in disbelief.

What the hell is the battle oath? You just changed it

You swear allegiance and you swear allegiance. Why change the oath that has been passed down by the entire battle group for thousands of years?

However, the look on Reverend Rizzo's face when he looked at them was determined and fanatical, which was obviously urging them to read along.

What can Martins and the remaining two warriors do?

Things have come to this point, and there is still talk of standing up and saying that I will quit

"I am the emperor's sword, and I am also Gu Hang's sword."

"I am the emperor's shield, and I am also Gu Hang's shield."

"I will bring death to the enemies of mankind, and I will bring back glory to the Emperor and Gu Hang"

"I will die for the Emperor, and I will be reborn from the ashes because of Gu Hang "

"From today on, I am an immortal bird and will fight forever."

Gu Hang felt awkward when he heard this.

This oath forcefully adds his name, which sounds awkward no matter how hard it sounds.

In addition to embarrassment, the core point is guilt.

How virtuous and capable I am, standing side by side with the emperor in an oath

If others hear this, how big of a trouble will it cause

It’s impossible to feel happy at all.

Can he be upset if a war group swears allegiance to him and even changes the group's oath?

Although there are only four people left in this war group, From this moment on, he could finally use that repeatable event to redeem gene seeds without any scruples.

With the seal lifted, do you still have to worry about the speed of the explosion?

However, Gu Hang was not dazzled by this secret feeling of pleasure.

He still remembers business.

After the Phoenix Chapter completed their oath, Gu Hang raised his second finger. Please remember to save it. The latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
