Chapter 350 My Brother, the Regent of the Empire and My Brother, the Commander of the Imperial Guards

War is a disaster for ordinary people, and no one expects war to come;

To the soldier, it is a deadly whetstone in the road, forging the true warrior from a group of young soldiers who are disillusioned with their ability to live to achieve great military exploits.

After accepting various level simulations in the form of a series of tasks such as destruction behind enemy lines, beheadings, exploration and puzzle solving, and annihilation specially prepared by Sergeant Alchemy, the first few recruits of the Sword of Revelation to complete surgical transformation stepped into the most cruel and shocking battle. During the actual battlefield simulation.

During the Great Crusade, the Astartes were the main force of the Human Empire, and the other mortals served as [auxiliary armies]; but after the Great Crusade, this situation was reversed:

Billions of mortal Astra Militarum serve as the front line of the main force against all demons and monsters in the galaxy with their lives and courage, while the Astartes exist as troops that carry out efficient special operations such as decapitation, with clear squad operations. Division of labor;

But this does not mean that the Astartes have nothing to do with the frontal battlefield. Their loyalty and fearlessness to the Emperor engraved in their genes will always be the strongest line of defense on the battlefield. Rigg and Kaserzin) were frightened by all kinds of monsters and monsters, and their morale was completely shattered. The Astartes would still stand firm on the battlefield until the last moment of their lives.

As a legion of 100,000 people, the Sword of Apocalypse must stand on the frontal battlefield and pour out the emperor's wrath on the enemies of mankind. Naturally, it must adapt to the cruel war in the future; at the same time, this also gives it the confidence to gain the body of a demigod. Many recruits realized that they were not invincible and experienced various ways of death——

Being overwhelmed by the number of enemies on the frontal battlefield, bombarded by heavy firepower, trampled to death by Titans, or simply destroyed frontally by various terrifying enemies of different magnitudes...

There are also cases where people and the cabin were torn apart by anti-aircraft fire when landing in an airborne capsule, or when a gunship made an emergency landing and had a spacecraft part inserted into the heart... and so on, many of them were killed before the weapons were even pulled out. The unlucky situation of dying.

Lu Mingfei also participated in the simulation, because the battles he experienced while serving in the Lamenters Chapter could only be regarded as "little fights"; the simulated battlefield environment was projected by the Emperor's will himself, and all of them were A terrifying war involving multiple divine machines was launched.

In short, in the few days after undergoing the battlefield simulation, except for Lu Mingfei, the other four people all developed varying degrees of post-traumatic stress disorder——

The feedback of the severe pain before death on the body, the blood flowing out of the modified and strengthened body, and the two hearts stopping beating... They truly felt the cheapness of life in the face of war; the ones who suffered the most were The residual psychological shadow of Minamoto's girl, Kazama Ruri's personality, who used "Dream Tapir" for the first time to enter Lu Mingfei's dream and recalled that his head was blown off by a brainworm, resurfaced again.

However, the fearlessness engraved in their genes when they underwent transformation surgery will soon cure all this; this kind of battlefield simulation will not become a daily routine, and its main purpose is to hone the recruits' fighting will rather than destroy it - after all, in On a battlefield of that level, the direction of the war is no longer something that individuals can control.

All they can do is adapt to death, get used to death, and destroy as many enemies of humanity as possible before death.

In addition to fighting, the study of knowledge is also essential. In that world, knowledge is also a weapon - the types, weaknesses, and methods of dealing with various monsters and monsters enemies; as well as the general history of the human empire, the current political system, and the common language etc.

Interestingly, the human will of the Lord of Humanity once called Chu Zihang, Fengel and Caesar to come and ask them about their impressions of the Human Empire;

It's useless to use all the false euphemisms in front of the Lord of Humanity, so they all bluntly expressed their negative comments, just barely saying "It's hopeless, tired, destroy it." Come.

The boy on the throne still looked calm after hearing these comments. After all, the current human empire has indeed become what he least wants to see. He can foresee how sad his returned descendants will be when they see the current empire. Anger and pain.

But there are exceptions.

Chu Zihang said that although he did not have the slightest idea of ​​fighting for this human empire, which seemed to have been maliciously stuffed into the worst political system of all, this empire still had positive shining points that he recognized very much: resistance to aggression, national independence, Strong faith and fearless of death...especially for him.

The boy nodded, thoughtfully.

After the transformation surgery process was completely perfected and the power armor casting "intelligence (alchemical energy)" assembly line matured, Haven's male hybrids who survived the chaos of the Keeper of Demons, the action team of the Beowulf family, and the guards of the Gattuso family Team……

More hybrids were sent to the City of Miracles, preparing to undergo transformation operations to become new Astartes; their inner uneasiness about the unknown, or their intentions to pry into secrets and other ulterior motives were all at the very beginning of the operation. The most basic level of spiritual deep hypnosis has been unified——

Fight for humanity.

What followed was the infusion of knowledge. The history of the Human Empire after the Great Crusade was simplified and downplayed, and the image of the Human Empire was shaped based on the shining points mentioned by Chu Zihang, and the worst religious blind faith of the Empire was slightly diluted. A bloated and corrupt government...

Fighting for humanity - you can't rely on slogans and brainwashing to ask the warriors of another universe to devote their lives to a war that may never end, but the warriors themselves need to have a firm idea to fight for it.

Even if there is a blessing of faith.

As a fragment of human will, the boy is very clear about this after the reflection after the great rebellion.

So there were unsuccessful hybrids who were screened out in terms of spirit, but fortunately there were not many of them. In the end, more than 200 hybrids passed the will test of the Lord of Humanity and entered the stage of transformation surgery.

However, Lu Mingfei was a little worried that the legion soldiers who didn't understand the "rules" of the empire might offend the Inquisition and be targeted in the future, just like the weepers who were excluded and embarrassed everywhere;

But the boy just said to him calmly:

"You can ask your commander-in-chief and regent brother to solve this kind of thing in the future."

Lu Mingfei was a little confused - commander-in-chief... is he referring to the commander of the imperial army, Valoris? But the soldier didn't look at me very close... and who is the regent brother?

…

After the grand narrative and expectation of fighting for humanity in another universe, Lu Mingfei's mind returned to his hometown.

He had to deal with the things on this planet first - the Dragon King behind the scenes, the Black King who had not awakened, and the remnant soul of the Wanbian Demon King whose whereabouts were still unknown.

In the field of the "different clock", Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang had a total of nearly 20 years of surgical transformation time, which was only less than half a month in normal time in the outside world; so when Chu Tianjiao saw Chu Zihang again after a few days, he was horrified and shocked to find that he had to look up at his son;

Just when he wanted to find Lu Mingfei to argue, he saw Lu Mingfei who was as tall as a floor... He swallowed what he wanted to say.

The worst thing was that his son had sent him a conscription invitation--

"Dad, join the Sword of Revelation Corps, accept transformation like me, become an Astartes and fight side by side; let's go to another universe together, pour the emperor's wrath on the enemies of mankind, and fight for mankind."

"You... you can't still think about going back to disturb mom?" Chu Zihang's voice was a little lower when he said this.

Chu Tianjiao's mouth twitched, and he said angrily:

"You actually still remember your mother? You are like this now. If she doesn't scare her to death when you go back! And you are going to another universe... What about your mother? She only has you as a son!"

Chu Zihang was silent for a long time, and then he said silently: "I will find a way."

Lu Mingfei did not interfere with his brother's family affairs-he also had his "family affairs" to deal with.

When Lu Mingfei bent down and walked into the door of the ward of the medical department of the college, Qiao Weini, who looked haggard, was sitting beside the bed with a dull expression-Lu Lincheng, who was supposed to be lying in bed to recuperate, was gone.

When Qiao Weini saw Lu Mingfei, her dull eyes regained a bit of spirit - but then the shock and confusion due to the huge change in Lu Mingfei disappeared.

But when Lu Mingfei half-knelt on the ground and held her hand with his broad hand, this heroic woman who dared to go against the world for her son finally couldn't help but burst into tears.

Maybe he didn't want to face the fact that he was tortured by the devil, or he didn't have the face to face Qiao Weini and Lu Mingfei - his nominal father chose to end his life early not long after waking up from treatment.

The career she dedicated herself to was completely shattered, and her son, who she regarded as her own son, faced the cruel truth behind the scenes alone, the mental attack from the devil, and the person she loved chose to end his life after being humiliated by the devil... The successive blows have almost made Qiao Weini collapse.

If even her son is going to leave her, then this world is probably really meaningless for her.

Lu Mingfei comforted his mother silently. He glanced at the white paper on the bedside table. There were only two simple lines of words on it. It should be left by Lu Lincheng:

"I'm sorry, Mingfei. I'm not worthy of being your father. Take good care of your mother."

Lu Mingfei didn't want to sigh or scold anything. He really had to take good care of his sad and crying mother.

For this reason, he stopped thinking about the legion and the actual combat simulation in the next few days. He stayed with Qiao Weini until she recovered from the past mental trauma.

...

"First of all, I hope I didn't disturb the warm time of your reunion with your family; secondly, I can feel the oppression you bring when I'm in close contact."

In the meeting room of the Hall of Heroes, Angers looked up at Lu Mingfei and couldn't help but exclaimed "Wow".

"We don't need to be so polite, Principal, just say it directly," Lu Mingfei said calmly, "In addition, there is no age limit for the transformation surgery of our army. As long as you are willing, you can return to youth at any time and become stronger."

"... Let's get back to business first," Angers waved his hand, "An abnormality suspected of dragon awakening was found in Japan. I think you and your dragon-slaying army should be interested in this."

Is this chapter a bit of private goods? Because I can always see people using the name of Warhammer to metaphor politics in many places, or speculating that those who like Warhammer and worship the Empire are XX...

What I want to say is, no one really likes this bad world view that is deliberately set up mainly to sell pawns, right?

Including me, I feel that most readers in China know about Warhammer because of the brave and loyal image of Space Marines. They like the Warhammer world because they selectively extract the shining side of the human empire as the main body, such as "fearless leader", "resistance to aggression", "national independence", "firm faith", "fearless of death", and "finding hope in the darkness", to bear their own hopes and dreams for national independence and self-reliance (such as the popular fan group Renzi in China),

rather than thinking about the devilish darkness of the universe, the dregs of the corruption of the empire, and hinting at the reality and then typing politics (in my opinion, it's too stupid).

This is considered to be a pre-emptive armor for myself. After all, I will definitely return to Warhammer in the future. The current outline has reached the Plague War, the Fourth Expeditionary Fleet against Angron, and Lao Tang and Wa Banxian's competition in battlefield micro-manipulation. This is still in my mind... Recently, I have been reading the books of the Warhammer fan inner circle group authors to learn.
