The Emperor’s Angel of Death

Sorkarshan's gaze swept across each company commander, taking in their expressions.

"At the same time, the Legion will establish an institution, the Council of Consuls. In normal times, this council will act as a staff body for the acting Legion Master, exercising advisory and planning functions, and assisting the Legion Master in managing the Legion's subordinate institutions and organizations. However, when the acting Legion Master is unable to perform command or management tasks for some reason, the Council of Consuls will become the Legion's highest decision-making body!"

This time, the silent crowd finally showed some change. Although everyone restrained themselves from whispering, their expressions and demeanor varied.

"Now, I will announce the names of the five Consuls."

Immediately, the half-body portraits of five people appeared on the screen behind Sorkarshan.

"Ustad, Maximilian, Arash, Nadir, Taros."

Except for Arash, the other four stood up.

"Several of you have made outstanding achievements in battle and are deeply loved by the warriors. You will also become the soul figures of the Legion in the future."

Ustad pounded his chest with his fist excitedly.

"Thank you for your kindness, Legion Master! I will defend the Legion's glory with my life!"

Sorkarshan shook his head.

"Ustad, do not speak lightly of life and death. Not just you, but everyone. How to win with the least cost, how to minimize casualties in battle, this is what you should be considering now."

After that, the meeting was only left with some fragmented issues, including the establishment of four new companies, and assigning them to each of the two 'Honor Battalions'. In principle, the Astral Knights would have 13 companies, while the White Templars would have 12. There were also calls for in-depth study of the Necron's weapons and tactics, as well as the introduction of some new equipment and tactics.

Before the end, Sorkarshan dropped one last bombshell.

"Everyone has seen this Abyss-class battleship, I presume. It will be the core of the Legion's naval warfare in the future, but it does not yet have a name. I consulted some company commanders, and after comprehensive consideration, I have decided to name it..."

Sorkarshan raised his hand, and a screen, pulled by a servo-skull, floated to his side.

In the picture, on the busy bridge of the Abyss-class ship that was not yet completed, a statue was covered with red silk. With a light snap of Sorkarshan's fingers, the silk slipped off, revealing the image of a person—

It was Randell, holding the Snow Lotus Blade, looking up and gazing into the distance.

".Randell, not only my close friend, but also the person who contributed the most to the Legion's road to revival. I can make such a declaration: without Randell, there would be no Undying today. His sacrifice is also the Legion's greatest loss in the new era. To commemorate his contribution to the Legion, this Abyss-class ship will be named the Randell!"

As soon as Sorkarshan's words fell, enthusiastic applause first rang out from the White Templars' ranks, and then everyone began to applaud.

In the end, the meeting came to a successful conclusion with Sorkarshan's slogan of "Unity is a powerful force to overcome all difficulties, and an important guarantee for gathering people's hearts and achieving great achievements." The new era of the Undying Legion was also declared, and it would no longer be a revival of the old legion of the past, but a powerful armed group centered on the Astartes that had never appeared in the Empire since the Great Rebellion.

After the Legion meeting, Sorkarshan immediately convened the Council of Consuls to begin planning a large-scale Legion exercise, and the simulated object of the exercise this time became the Necrons.

A week later, the Legion warriors gathered at the comprehensive training ground opened by the tech-priests of Ulan Huda on Rogon's satellite.

There were two special things about this exercise. One was that the armor paint of all the warriors was unified, and there was no longer any difference in the colors of the battle groups. The second was that the exercise was carried out according to the new organizational structure designed by Sorkarshan. The companies were assigned new numbers, with the 1st Company of the Astral Knights being the 1st Company of the Legion, the 1st Company of the White Templars being the 2nd Company of the Legion, the 2nd Company of the White Templars being the 3rd Company of the Legion, and the 2nd Company of the Astral Knights being the 4th Company of the Legion, and so on. The companies were then combined into new composite battalions.

The Necrons, as the enemy, were replaced by target robots from the Mechanicum. Although they were slightly sluggish, they were very consistent with the characteristics of the Necron's low-level infantry. Although the weapon power could not be simulated, the exercise stipulated rules that as long as they were hit, the minimum judgment was serious injury.

Then the elusive phasing technology of the enemy was directly replaced by air drops.

The exercise went basically smoothly, but there were also some minor contradictions and bumps. Moreover, Sorkarshan could see from the command post that the warriors were indeed very unaccustomed to this kind of Necron enemy. The sluggish and clumsy behavior of their infantry was very deceptive, which led to the warriors being insufficiently vigilant about the power of the weapons in their hands. Many warriors even wondered why they were judged out of the game just because they were shot once?

However, when they saw the power of the captured gauss weapons, they immediately shut their mouths.

After a few days of exercises, various tactical goals were completed, but the casualties were also very high. 478 warriors were judged to be killed in action, 72 were seriously injured to the point where they had to enter dreadnoughts, and some companies even lost nearly half of their men. There were also companies that were judged to have lost a small team because they ignored the inactive obelisk nearby. In the setting, the hypothetical enemy of this exercise was a Necron tomb world with 500,000 soldiers.

This was even weaker than the previous Laisha Dynasty that was destroyed. It is conceivable that if there was no massive cannon fodder from the Mechanicum to offset the enemy's firepower advantage, the current Undying Legion alone might not be able to handle a Laisha Dynasty.

Moreover, the warriors' air-ground coordination tactics were still very unskilled, and there were even cases of friendly fire from airstrikes.

In this case, they can only continue to train and continue to practice.

Fortunately, the Brakato star system has been built up. Even the training grounds and training equipment are more convenient than the Naison star system because of the existence of Ulan Huda. It is completely no problem to accommodate the current "Legion" of more than 2,000 people.

But Sorkarshan could not stay here all the time, because after Arash's term in the Alliance of Suffering ended, it was his turn to "be on duty", and the auction to be held soon in the Naison star system was also about to begin. This was a major event that he had to preside over in person.

So he immediately made a decision that all the Legion's training and exercise matters would be handed over to the Council of Consuls. He was probably going to be a hands-off shopkeeper for a while. This was also a great opportunity to train the Consuls to cooperate with each other, learn to resolve conflicts, and how to compromise. Of course, it was not completely without a backbone.

Taros was his representative in the Council of Consuls, and also a balancer. Sorkarshan believed that he would be able to balance the relationship between the other four Consuls. Of course, this balance was definitely not the "traditional" form of installing teleportation beacons in chainaxes by the Eighth Legion.

In addition to these Legion affairs, Sorkarshan had one last thing to deal with personally in the Brakato star system, and that was the Burning Fire Festival of the Holy Flame Order.
