Emperor's Daughter of the Red Sands

Chapter 65 The Road to Redemption ([-])

By the time the Word Bearers fleet left Kul's star system, the once perfect city had been completely reduced to wasteland.Nothing but scorched radiation dust and billowing tides of lava. The once pleasant and warm atmosphere was burned by the destructive fire cloud into a deadly mist filled with poisonous gas. The former brilliance of reason is gone. earth.

It has returned to the most primitive appearance of a planet, only chaotic and disorderly, just like it was when it was not discovered by humans tens of millions of years ago.It's just that at that time, the flames of war burning in the galaxy were already unimaginable——

The stars moved, and the sea of ​​stars boiled.

Until all reason is shattered, until all law is broken.

That was the origin of everything, and the aftermath of its destruction has spread for thousands of years, and it is still lingering today-no doubt, whether it is the huge wave of chaos in the center of the Milky Way, or the deep purple star in the star space. Her pupils all came from the terrifying aftermath of that battle known as the 'Battle of Heaven'.

Even the terrifying storms that linger in the warp, and the digital destructive powers that sit in the highest heavens, are inseparable from the terrible war that shattered all reason.

Until the end of the No. 30th millennium A.D., the eve of the No. 30th millennium - the universe is still full of wars.

……

"I don't quite understand."

Angertai looked at the document in his hand, feeling a little confused.

"There's a lot you don't understand, brother."

Xia Fen sighed, and delivered more and thicker documents to Angertai.

A gilded Gothic word stands out on these delicate leather-bound volumes.

"Legion Holy Book".

After briefly flipping through these heavy materials, Angertai frowned slightly.

Adeptus Astartes, Legion reorganized into Chapter...

Just a few words in it already made my head feel dizzy, and there is even more exciting news...

"I'm serious, Xia Fen... the high-ranking priest, does it really not exist...?"

Angel asked in confusion.

"Yes, no more. Our Primarch himself tore the system apart—from now on, we priests are monks, nothing but faith and loyalty."

Xia Fen helplessly replied to her best friend. Obviously, as the pastor of the Seventh Company, he knew this shocking news very early on.

He spread his hands out, saying it didn't matter.

"Well, that's not a bad thing. At least I won't have to sing hymns to those old guys anymore—especially when it's training."

"Also, ordinary people like me who haven't entered the circle of senior priests will hardly be affected. You know, my personality is not welcomed by those old stubborn people."

Having said that, Xia Fen suddenly remembered something, and patted Angertai's shoulder vigorously.

"Speaking of which, you should be regarded as promoted now, brother. Now the chapter master of each chapter is equivalent to the past legion leader, and is only responsible for the gene Primarch—except for the battalion commander who still exists in the mother group, The second in command of the sub-group is the company commander!"

"From now on, I will be the chief, you boy is really lucky."

"...Cut. This false name is meaningless, Xia Fen."

"If I become Chapter Master, it means that the Jagged Sun is about to perish."

Angertai patted Xia Fen's hand away angrily. He had long been used to the 'lively' of this pastor's best friend in his daily life.

But what caught his attention even more was the content described in the scriptures in his hand.

"However, I still don't quite understand..."

"The legion...is it really divided into battle groups?"

Angeltai asked with some doubts.

"Yeah, there are probably hundreds of warbands."

Xia Fen briefly flipped through the scriptures, and the former priest naturally knew very well about the big moves of their Primarch through the corresponding information channels.

"There are original large-scale battle groups like our sawtooth sun, and there are also small battle groups that can be formed by dividing a battalion."

"As for the mother regiment, there are probably only tens of thousands of people left—however, if a large-scale war call is received from the mother regiment, it can be temporarily restored to the original legion organization."

"The rest...you can find it in the scriptures yourself."

Immediately, Xia Fen closed the heavy scripture.

It looks quaint and dull on the outside, but it is extremely novel and creative on the inside.

Like the past and future of the Word Bearers.

"...It's incredible."

Angeltai couldn't help sighing.

He slowly flipped through the holy book in his hand, which almost completely changed the organization system of the Word Bearers Legion. The many organization systems and changes in it really made the seventh company commander feel strange.

Perhaps, this could be the future of the Word Bearers...

Angortai thought.

In fact, after the Word Bearers sailed away from the Perfect City, the entire legion was in turmoil to the point of crisis—even the rumors that the Word Bearers were about to betray the empire were constantly circulating in the Warrior Association.

Fortunately, these rumors did not appear within the Legion, but were inadvertently mentioned by the Word Bearers fighters who are closely related to the No.20 Legion.

Moreover, the Primarch, who was sent by the Emperor to monitor the Word Bearers, had been talking to Lorgar until a few days ago—the news spread that the high-level priest system was about to be disbanded, and with Lorgar's order to move towards A command to travel deeper into the Obscure Sector.

Angertai also seemed to have heard that the Lord of the No.12 Legion had mentioned the changes to the Word Bearers during several days of conversations with Lorgar.

—Perhaps, this is the way to get the Word Bearers out of crisis.

Angertai glanced out of the window, and in the deep and charming space, a deep purple pupil faintly shone among the stars.

……

Since the destruction of the Perfect City, the organization of the Word Bearers has changed dramatically.

The priest system created by Lorgar himself was dismantled by him, and replaced by Astartes monks-this status can only be held by those Astartes who are extremely devout in the belief of the God Emperor, and they no longer have any degree of Since then, the structure within the No.17 Legion has only a strict legion system.

At the same time, the Word Bearers almost completely reorganized the huge legion into a warband structure. Based on the original several huge warbands, wargroups of various sizes have been reproduced——with a battle group like the Sawtooth Sun. There are huge battle groups that are almost comparable in size to the regiments, and there are also some small battle groups composed of only a few hundred Astartes.

After being reorganized into a Chapter, each Chapter Master will only accept orders from the Primarch and the Human Empire from now on, and the rank and rank within the Word Bearers will no longer affect their right to speak. The regiment can also choose a world taken by the Word Bearers as its homeworld.

In this way, the large and bloated Word Bearers Legion will become a highly efficient organization with the Mother Legion and the Primarch at its core, able to take advantage of its large numbers and the unique tactics of the Astartes. .

From then on, their focus was not on the worlds in the main direction of the Great Crusade, but on cleaning up those inaccessible galaxies for the empire, and this kind of task was usually only undertaken by the Iron Warriors.

This is an unprecedented change. Even the War Council from Terra expressed doubts about the changes of the No.17 Legion. And in the inaccessible territory, those voices of doubt also subtly disappeared.

No one knows why Lorgar made up his mind to make such drastic changes. Perhaps it was because he worried that the original structure would be too easy to mobilize a team due to high-ranking but malicious leaders like Erebus and Kor Phaeron. The overly large army, or perhaps due to the organizational problems of the Word Bearers, made their efficiency in the Great Crusade unsatisfactory.

However, they have indeed made changes anyway.

Facts have proved that under this unique reform, the efficiency problem of the Word Bearers due to its large scale seems to have been completely resolved. That unquestionable loyalty.

As the Word Bearers continued to move forward in the Obscure Star Field, the newborn subgroups under their command also took root here, as if the direction of the entire Word Bearers was to spread their sphere of influence— ——More and more worlds are being regained under their iron heels, flexible tactical composition and strong development ability complement each other, and the composition of splitting into countless sub-groups makes their development not limited by the parent group will.

While the Word Bearers have ceased to take part in most of the large-scale campaigns, quietly... all over the galaxy are calling for emergency support from smaller Chapters of the Word Bearers.

This is of great significance for stabilizing the scope of control of the empire.

Even the Mechanicus began to often hire these Word Bearers warriors to accompany them on their trips, because the search for STCs and various archaeological missions in the galaxy are dangerous, but the support troops needed are often just a small warband, Or a task that can be completed by a company.

In fact, the reason why these rigorous and self-disciplined Astartes are welcomed by the Adeptus Mechanicus is that they are more self-disciplined and restrained than other legions—and their tolerance for the officially recognized religious beliefs of the Empire .

Of course, it is also possible that the Legion's scriptures common to the Word Bearers sub-orders allow these Astartes monks to maintain religious restraint at all times.

For this reason, although the Mother Order of the Word Bearers gradually disappeared during the Star Obscure expedition, its large and small warbands are also welcomed throughout the galaxy. When many worlds call for help, they often name Salamanders, The Ultramarines and the Word Bearers are three legions that are extremely friendly to mortals.

Anyone can see that the overall size of the Word Bearers will probably become larger and larger in the coming Great Crusade.

However, no one knows why they reorganized the legion in this way, and no one knows what their purpose is to grow to such a large scale...

The fleet of the Word Bearers was on a pilgrimage to Star Obscure before the tide of green-skinned orcs set off from Ullanor...
