Warhammer, but Emperor's Chosen

To be honest, there is actually no need to change the genetic seeds.

A chapter has 1000 people, and ideally the gene-seed reserve should also be 1000 (1:1).

Assuming that 500 are spent every year to train new recruits, and the operation takes 2 years, it will take 5 years for the first gene seed to mature, 10 years for the second, and one gene seed will be harvested in the 10th year.

也就是12年翻一倍，12年500人，120年就是5000人。

This is the case when no one dies. If someone dies, the efficiency will actually be higher (without interference).

Because if no one died, the gene seeds used to train new soldiers would always be only 500, and only 500 new soldiers could be trained at a time.

But if one is ruthless enough and kills all 5000 people, the gene seed will increase to 5500.

12 in 5500 years, and 12 again in another 5500 years.

In the original timeline, Huron made several random changes, and there were only 4500 people in more than a hundred years. It is possible that the changes were made randomly like the Cursed Army, because the mutations led to a decrease in the efficiency of troop explosion.

Chapter 145 Orleans Saint

Leticia said softly:

"Of the 53 worlds under the dynasty's rule, 28 are in the Maelstrom Universe, currently managed by General Arabed. The remaining 25 are in the Coronus Expansion. In addition,"

The girl paused for a moment and looked up at Noah.

Seeing Noah nod slightly, Leticia continued:

"There are still 30 worlds that have not been reported to the Empire. The warp routes connecting these worlds are only in the hands of my sister, me, and Sarpedon, the Chapter Master of the Soul Drinkers."

"If we don't count the original five worlds of the dynasty and the 5 worlds of the Great Vortex, the remaining 28 worlds are divided according to the empire. There is a total of 50 forge world, 1 hive worlds, 2 industrial worlds, 4 agricultural worlds, and 18 civilized worlds. The 25 worlds reported are all civilized worlds and agricultural worlds.

"However, many of these worlds are being invaded by Orks. My sister is currently on an expedition to the Forge World of Orleans, fighting with the Soul Drinkers against the Orks who have invaded this world."

Hearing about the Forging World, Noah immediately frowned and said in a deep voice:

"Let's talk as we walk."

"Eh? Where are you going?" Leticia was stunned.

"To Orleans."

As soon as they landed, Noah took Leticia back to the helipad and took the Thunderhawk back to the Stars.

Clementia immediately sent a message asking:

"My lord, what happened?"

"It's not a big deal. I'm going to be away for a while. I'm going to take Leticia with me too. You'll be in charge of Dagnus during this time."

Noah did not tell her the truth, because Clementia obviously did not know the existence of the Forge World, otherwise Jeanna would not have let Leticia disguise herself as her and secretly lead the expedition herself.

"Yes, my lord."

Clementia lowered her head respectfully and did not ask the wandering trader's purpose, just as she would never ask where Jeanne was going.

She has always been very sensible, otherwise she would not have been able to sit firmly in the position of planetary governor for so many years.

The fleet quickly left the starport, but there were still more ships in the berths.

These were the dynasty's merchant ships and defense fleet.

The size was more than double that before Noah left, because Noah saw ten cruisers alone.

It's a pity that the defense fleet does not have the ability to navigate in the subspace.

"Leticia, go on." Noah took Leticia to the captain's room and let her sit opposite him.

Although she was accustomed to being in a high position, Leticia still seemed a little restrained in front of Noah.

Leticia tried to organize her thoughts and continued:

"We have always maintained friendly relations with the Eldar. Sister Iliette also often contacts us and tells us the prophecies of the Eldar prophets."

Leticia stuck out her tongue and said, "I know Sister Iliette wanted to warn us that you are still alive and not to have any bad thoughts, but we already believed that you were still alive."

Cassia sternly warned:

"Leticia, report your work properly and don't act cute!"

"Yes, Teacher Cassia!"

Leticia sat up straight nervously and said in a serious tone:

"In short, our relationship with the Eldar is very good. Crudalahe also provided us with some technology to transform the environment of the hive world. As you saw when you came, the environment of Dagonus has been greatly improved.

“Although Dagonus is now the home world of the Soul Drinkers and does not have to pay tithes to the Empire, as you instructed when you left, we will still use 30% of the tithe level to subsidize the workers in the Lower Nest every year.

“Everyone is very grateful to you, and those who welcomed you before came spontaneously.

"In addition, the cleaning of the lower nest is also carried out every 20 years. Every newborn needs to be strictly registered and genetically sequenced. In recent years, there have been several cases of Genestealer invasions, but with the help of the Soul Drinkers, there has not been too much of a bad impact."

Noah tutted his words, waved his hands in the face of Cassia's protesting eyes, and said:

"Letitia, you should just relax and don't worry about Cassia."

"Yes, Master Noah."

Leticia also breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "The planning of the colonies is basically based on a similar model. We migrated a large number of people from the hives to colonize those colonies that are open to the public. Then, from these colonies, the population was secretly transferred to those worlds that were not announced to the public.

“Many of these worlds are colonies left behind during the Dark Age of Technology. They are unaware of the existence of the Empire, and their technology is not particularly advanced, so there are not many obstacles in conquering them.

"The main threats are still the invasion of orcs and the attacks of the Dark Eldar. We have prevented many attacks of the Dark Eldar according to the prophecy of the Ark Eldar. But as for the invasion of greenskins, they have no way to help us deal with it, so we can only rely on ourselves.

"On the other hand, we also have a close relationship with the Astral Claws, the Lamenters, and the Mantis Warriors, and have been deepening our cooperation over the years. Chapter Master Huron also sent a lot of equipment to the Soul Drinkers, including 4 sets of MK power armor. Although the number is not large, it can also help the Soul Drinkers solve their urgent needs."

Noah keenly grasped the blind spot:

"Wait a minute? What do you mean by a small number?"

Huron was a good man. Even though the production was not too high and the exact number of Soul Drinkers was unknown, he still gave the Soul Drinkers 3000 sets of power armor.

But if even 3,000 sets are only enough to solve the immediate problem, then how many Soul Drinkers are there now?

Leticia blinked:

"Eh? Didn't I tell you? The Soul Drinkers Chapter now has 6000 Space Marines."

Good guy!

Noah originally thought that the 4400 Huron men were already incredible enough, but he didn't expect that there were even masters among them!

Sarpedon, you are really a hidden talent!

But if you think about it, this isn't surprising.

Although there were only about 400 Soul Drinkers left decades ago, they still have the support of their home world and the gene seeds of their dead battle brothers.

Although it's a bit hellish, the Soul Drinkers do have a slightly larger stock of gene-seed available than other chapters, at 600.

There were only 75 people in 6000, which is considered restrained.

And it may not be that the Soul Drinkers don't want to recruit people, maybe there are not enough qualified recruits to be selected each year.

Of course, more people means more.

But many of them are new recruits, and their quality is naturally inferior to that of the Space Marines who have dozens or even hundreds of years of combat experience.

Moreover, the biggest challenge for the Chapter to expand its forces is not how to train new recruits, but how to break through the limitations of the Codex Astartes.

This is not only a challenge to one's own limits, but also a challenge to the bottom line of the empire.

Once the Soul Drinkers and Astral Claws' crazy military expansion is discovered, the High Lord will definitely shoot them eight hundred times!

Noah asked in confusion:

"How did the Soul Drinkers agree to expand their army?"

"It's sister."

Letitia said proudly, "Sister, tell them in your name that in order to protect the territory of the von Valancius Dynasty, only 1000 Space Marines are not enough, so a large-scale expansion of the army is necessary. Anyway, as long as the extra troops are not discovered by the Empire, it will not be considered an expansion. Captain Sarpedon also thinks it makes sense, so he has been secretly selecting new soldiers for training in the colonies over the years.

"It's just that there aren't enough power armors, so the scale of development has always been greatly restricted."

Noah's expression was subtle. He just wanted to say:

wonderful!

Jeanne is a saint, he is a living saint.

With their personal endorsement, what’s the difference between this and an imperial decree?

Sarpedon is simply following orders to expand the army! How can we not agree to this?

Of course, we have to obey orders, but the enemy is the High Lord after all.

Therefore, the Soul Drinkers dare not expand their army in a big way and can only develop secretly.

There is actually nothing wrong with this.

Because the Soul Drinkers are only 1000 people, which is indeed not enough compared to the size of dozens of worlds.

If there are too few people, I'm afraid we won't be able to defend ourselves!

But since it involved the Forge World, Noah had to go over there to take a look. But before going to Orleans, he had to go back to Rome.

-----------------

"Come to my side! Brave sons of Rogal Dorn! Charge with me!"

A blonde girl in silver-white armor waved the Holy Iris Flag, raised her arms and shouted as she led thousands of big guys in purple power armor into the green tide.

They were surrounded by a faint golden light, which was the spiritual energy of the girl.

Even the Sarpedon Grand Master was far less gifted in psychic powers than this girl blessed by the Emperor.

Whenever she is on the battlefield, she can provide shelter for her comrades around her.

Not only can it boost their morale, but it can also provide them with actual psychic defense, making their power armor harder, as if everyone has an additional shield generator.

The gathering of thousands of Space Marines was undoubtedly shocking, but the green tide opposite them was even greater in number, almost endless!

This is why they must take the initiative to leave the defense line and charge towards the orcs.

If they fail to decapitate the Ork Warboss, the Soul Drinkers with only three thousand Space Marines will not be able to hold this Forge World.

"For the Emperor!" the Space Marine shouted the Emperor's name and swung his chainsword to chop off an Ork's head.

"For Saint Noah!" Another Space Marine roared and blasted the body of an Orc boss with a plasma gun.

"For the Emperor! For Saint Noah!"

Roars rose one after another and resounded throughout the army. This was an army of faith!

All Space Marine recruits were once civilians of the von Valancius dynasty, all of them received benefits from Saint Noah's tithes when they were young, and all of them are loyal believers of the Emperor and Saint Noah's sect.

Even after becoming Space Marines, their original aspirations have never changed, and their beliefs will never waver.

Especially now that they have the Emperor's Saints and Noah's Holy Maidens by their side, under the protection of faith, they will be able to do anything!

"Waaagh!!"

"Waaagh!!!"

The greenskins infected by the purple giant roared and rushed towards the Space Marines with great excitement. Although I couldn't understand what these giants were shouting, Waaagh was done!

The more powerful the enemy, the more excited they are!

Although the golden little shrimp looked very small, it was skinny and had no muscles.

But the greenskins think the way she kills greenskins is Waaagh, and she is becoming more and more Waaagh.

Even the greenskins started to Waaagh.

They want to kill that waaagh golden shrimp. If they kill her, they will definitely become more waaagh.

"Waaagh!!!"

No matter what time, Warboss is always the fastest and most exciting one.
