Hammer 40k: Far East Storm

Chapter 121 Final Exam, Hunting

As an official member of the Space Marine Regiment, Roland inherited part of the genes of the great Primarch. If you continue to trace the gene chain, it is no surprise that these miraculous genes all come from the great emperor. These genes, which seemed to come from gods, not only gave the Space Marines members strength, but also gave them immortality. Roland and his future teammates will not die of old age. They will serve the God-Emperor for life and eventually die on the battlefield. What could be better than this? The soldiers of the Space Marine Corps never have to worry about dying in bed in humiliation. They understand that their destiny is to die on a battlefield full of blood and gunpowder smoke. They will die with honor in the fearful eyes of the enemy and fall in the solid support of their comrades. In the arms.

For a while, the only sounds in the room were the popping of sparks as the fire burned and the rustling of paper.

"Your Majesty the God Emperor," Roland put away the stack of documents and sighed: "Master Li, I have read your plan. What I say next may be offensive, but you are willing to listen to my true thoughts. ”

"Of course, what's the relationship between the two of us? There's no need to hide it, just tell me what you have to say."

"I think you're like a little kid playing in the sand at the beach."

"Oh," Li smiled, "interesting metaphor."

"It's fun to make an exquisite fortress out of sand and then destroy it with your own hands, but this kind of fun should only belong to children. My lord, we spent a whole year on this backward, wild planet. , although I personally feel that we should focus on more important things, I still follow your order. We spent all our efforts to gather such a group of outstanding people, and then trained them carefully for a whole year. And what are you going to do now? Destroy them all?"

"You think this final exam is going to ruin these kids?"

"Yes, completely destroyed. I don't think they will have any chance." Roland said seriously: "Sir, you have been admiring the snow scene just now. You should know clearly what kind of severe weather is outside the room. This area The land has been hit by an unprecedented severe cold. Winter is coming, and the civilians here are likely to freeze to death even if they stay at home. Those children are just ordinary people, and some of them have never seen snow scenes several times in their lives. , although they have been trained, they are not Space Marines yet. It is difficult to walk out in this kind of weather. You actually want them to go out to fight. The weapons in their hands are just some cold weapons. The enemy Surprisingly, they are still those cunning lizards.”

"It's a velociraptor," Li corrected: "Of course, it's not wrong to call them cunning lizards. It's really wonderful. I don't know if the early colonists brought this creature out, or if it's already native to this planet. , Anyway, this is a perfect opportunity. My warrior should become a dragon slayer. Unfortunately, there are no real dragons in Western legends on this planet, otherwise the graduation exam question would be there. Forget it. Back, I think velociraptors are an excellent target. They are cruel, cunning, and move in groups and cooperate tacitly, just like a pack of wolves, but they are more ferocious than wolves. Heavy snowy weather will make hunting difficult, and they will not be able to eat their food. It will inevitably decrease and hunting will become more difficult. Even beasts like Velociraptors will not be able to fill their stomachs in such weather. Hungry will make these beasts more ferocious, and our warriors will be truly tested. "

"But the enemy is too powerful, and the test will kill them."

"Only powerful enemies are worth defeating. What do you think our training this year is for?"

"I feel like these kids, they're not ready, they're going to die."

"Roland, you underestimate them too much. They are not weak kittens. They are warriors who have proven themselves on the battlefield, and they are also my students." Li said in a deep voice, "As for death, who will not die?" What? You must know that our original plan stated that 60% of reasonable losses were allowed. Now we have only lost three people. We can bear more losses and we will all be there when the time comes. If you say so, we will reach out to give them a hand. Roland, you must know that they are still just students. You must harden your heart. Weak sympathy and unnecessary worries will only harm them and you. Only Only by being strict can they become true warriors and comrades we can rely on in the future.”

"I understand what you mean, but I think that even if you die, you should die with honor on the battlefield. Rather than an overly difficult exam. No matter what, I understand what you mean, and I will follow your order. "

"Okay then, you make a plan and we see how we can minimize the losses."

"As ordered." Roland stood at attention, clasped his hands on his chest, saluted, then turned and left.

"Little cubs, don't let me down."

"What, there are final exams?" This news caused an uproar as soon as it appeared in the common room.

"Oh, God the Emperor, why do you punish us like this?"

"I hate exams."

"Is this how our mentor celebrates the New Year for us?"

"I think you don't have to worry so much." The person who said this quickly attracted everyone's attention, because the speaker was Sir Tigait, a 20-year-old from Cape Wrath. As the youngest judge in the 13th Hall of the Holy See, Sir Tigait not only has excellent cross swordsmanship, but also has a high status in the Holy See. Compared with others, Tigait has some connections in Vansagan, and he can get news in advance through his special channels for many things.

"Tigait, do you have any news?"

"There is indeed good news, but my throat is a little dry." Tigait smiled and pushed the empty cup in front of him to Lancelot. The White Knight was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and filled Tigait's empty cup with beer. Tiget smiled, "It's such an honor to have the White Knight pour wine for me."

"Forget it, drink quickly, and tell me what the news is after you drink it."

"Good news, it is said that the final exam set by the instructor for us is a trial, a combat mission, not the written test you imagined."

"Oh yeah!" Cheers suddenly rang out in the room. In this moment, Li was an angel with wings in their hearts. Life was so beautiful. It was not the written test that made people want to cry but not cry that was enough to make people cheer. It was actually a trial based on combat missions. This was really exciting.

During this year, the soldiers were not completely locked up in the room to receive learning and training. Li occasionally gave them some special tests and trials, such as asking four students to wipe out a group of bandits, or sneaking to the cell alone to secretly execute a group of prisoners, or letting them quietly and completely eliminate a group of gangsters. There were various tasks, some of which were combat-based tasks, some were infiltration-based tasks, and some were assassination-based tasks. After each mission, Li would grade everyone. Every student likes such missions. After all, why do they study so hard here? They have learned so many exquisite combat skills, so much knowledge and skills. It would be too uncomfortable if they can't use them.

The students are like children who feel that they have grown up. They are eager to prove themselves in front of their parents.

"Do you like to die so much?" A voice said coldly: "It's not bad, at least you die happily."

Everyone turned around and saw the person who spoke, "It's Teacher Roland.

"Here comes Teacher Roland. "

During this year, Li was not with his students all the time. After all, Li's identity was not just the head of the regiment. He was also the interstellar commander of three star systems. Many internal affairs could not be separated from Li, so Li had to leave for about a week every month to handle government affairs. During this time, Roland was responsible for continuing to teach this group of apprentices. Compared with the unpredictable and unpredictable Li, Roland, who was as tall as a giant but had a gentle temperament, was undoubtedly more popular with the students.

Roland's eyes slowly swept through the crowd, and he soon found the disseminator of the message, "Tiget."

"In! "Tiget straightened up from his seat like a spring. After a year of training, even though he was born as a Vatican inquisitor, Tiget showed a strong military spirit.

"Your news is good. Your final exam is indeed a combat test. Hey, boys, don't be too happy too early. Your opponents this time are not ordinary. The enemy is not a small character like a bandit, nor a gangster group in the civilian area. You have to face a real bloodthirsty and cruel guy..."

Roland's words not only did not attract the attention of the students, but aroused the enthusiasm of these young people, "Hey! Did you hear that? A real bloodthirsty and cruel enemy." "Bloodthirsty and cruel, I like it. "

Roland ignored the reactions of these young people and said to himself, "Seventeen people, I really hope that all of you can stand here when you come back. Your mission will be issued soon, but I can tell you the mission objectives in advance. You will face the beasts in the jungle this time. They are more ferocious than tigers, more cooperative than wolves, and more cunning than foxes. You must be alert and careful to deal with them, otherwise you will only become food for the enemy in winter." Roland took a deep breath and said, "You will enter the Death Jungle this winter and hunt velociraptors."
