Warhammer, but Emperor's Chosen

"Let's go."

Sarpedon patted him on the shoulder and led him out of the room toward Noah's study.

Zechariah silently saw this, and they went to see Noah instead of letting Noah come to see them. This is enough to show who is the dominant one between Sarpedon and Noah when they are together.

Dong Dong~!

Sarpedon knocked on the study door, and a response came from inside:

"Please come in."

click!

Sarpedon pushed open the door, and Zechariah also saw the mortal sitting behind the desk, handling official business.

He looked quite young, no doubt because he had spent most of his time traveling in the Warp. If he was not a saint of the Ecclesiarchy, he would be subject to extremely strict scrutiny when he returned after being missing for decades in the Warp.

Noah looked at Zechariah, smiled and took the initiative to greet him:

"Captain Kesh, Sarpedon told me about you. Is there anything you want to ask?"

Zechariah's thoughts were in a mess, and he did not expect Noah to be so direct.

But this actually made him feel quite favorable towards Noah, because he hated the hypocritical political practices of mortals.

"I just have one question."

Zachariah spoke slowly. The conditions offered by the Soul Drinker were too generous. For the sake of the regiment, he really couldn't think of a reason to refuse.

So, he just asked:

"Do you think the Emperor is a god?"

Zechariah's question made Noah's expression become subtle.

Zechariah faced Noah's gaze calmly. He knew that his question was somewhat outrageous in the eyes of the state church, but he had to know the answer.

Then make your own choice based on the answers.

However, what Noah is thinking now is whether Zechariah is a substitute for the old man Huang.

But he had read the accuser's materials and understood why Zechariah asked this question.

Whether he acknowledged the Emperor as a god or not, he was now a living saint of the state religion.

Therefore, his answer must be carefully considered.

Noah looked up at Zechariah and said in a deep voice:

"No one is qualified to judge the Emperor but himself. The Emperor says he is not a God, so he is not!"

Zechariah stared at Noah, trying to detect any signs of lying in his eyes.

After a long silence, Zechariah slowly knelt on one knee:

"Mr. von Valancius, please allow me to pay you my highest respects."

Sarpedon couldn't hold back because he didn't expect it to turn out like this.

Zechariah lowered his head. He knew what he was doing and what it meant.

He would not offer his loyalty to Noah, because his loyalty belonged only to the Emperor and the Primarch, so all he could offer was respect. He knew he didn't have to go that far, and the deal with Sarpedon didn't include this.

But to save the Chapter, he must do more.

If Noah can save the Soul Drinkers, then he can definitely save the Blamers!

"Stand up, Captain Kesh," Noah said calmly.

Zechariah raised his head and stood up with some confusion.

Noah said seriously:

"No warrior of the Emperor shall kneel before any but Him."

Zechariah's expression also became serious. He corrected:

"And Rogal Dorn!"

Noah shrugged and smiled:

"Well, it's my fault, and that of your Primarch."

Zechariah also laughed.

At this moment, he felt a lot more relaxed, not as heavy as before.

Lorgar: Calling him a god is against his orders.

Kalia: His command is a test of our faith, and what is the value of faith that is not tested?

Lorgar: But he has expressly forbidden the worship of any gods.

Kalia: Because there is only one true God in this world.

Lorgar: But your god says he is not a god.

Kalia: Only a true God would humbly deny his own divinity.

There was a clown (I won’t say who it was) who became furious and said, “You actually used my magic against me!”

Chapter 151 Terra: Hello

"These,"

Sarpedon pointed at the six hundred young men lined up in neat rows in the square and said, "They are all candidate recruits who have passed the Soul Drinker test. You can select those who meet your requirements and train them, or you can hold a new selection ceremony."

"No need."

Zachariah shook his head, his eyes sweeping across the crowd, "I trust the Soul Drinkers' standards, I will select 20 of them."

"20 people?"

Sarpedon glanced at him, "Is that enough?"

Zachariah was stunned for a moment, and replied subconsciously:

"The new recruit company of the Accuser now only has two squads missing..."

His voice stopped abruptly, as if he suddenly realized something.

In theory, the Codex Astartes does not have strict restrictions on the number of new recruits in a Chapter, but the Codex Astartes has stipulated that a Chapter can only have 1000 Space Marines, and each company can only have 100 Space Marines.

Therefore, if the Codex Astartes was strictly followed, even if only one person was left in the Chapter, and even if you had 2000 gene-seeds and could train 2000 recruits at a time, you could only train 100 recruits at a time.

Because the Codex Astartes stipulates that the Tenth Company is a company of recruits, and a company of recruits can only have 100 people.

Of course, if there are casualties among the recruits, you can also immediately replenish them with new recruits, which is in compliance with regulations, but the number cannot exceed 100 people.

The accusers did this before, so after decades, there are still less than 500 of them.

But what did Sarpedon just say?

enough?

What does 'enough' mean?

There are less than 500 accusers now, but there are 600 new recruits here. Is this a coincidence?

"you……"

Zechariah had realized something. His throat was a little dry and he wanted to say something.

But after a long silence, he did not ask anything, but just said hoarsely:

“We don’t have enough pharmacists.”

Sarpedon Road:

"The Soul Drinker can help, if you allow it."

"it is good."

Zachariah nodded silently. He hesitated and asked, "How many pharmacists does the Soul Drinker have?"

Sarpedon said, "Fifty."

Zechariah remained silent.

Typically, a company has only one pharmacist attached to it, who is responsible for treating battle brothers and recovering gene seeds when necessary.

There are usually only 3-5 pharmacists working in the pharmacy department of the regiment, and no more than ten at most.

The Soul Drinkers have fifty apothecaries, so how many do they have now?

Besides, do the Soul Drinkers really only have fifty pharmacists?

Zechariah asked no questions.

Because he knew he shouldn't ask, at least he had to wait until the accuser finished performing surgery on these recruits before he was qualified to ask.

Zechariah said:

"The Accuser's warship cannot accommodate so many people at the same time. I would like to borrow the Soul Drinker's New Blood Hall."

"Okay." Sarpedon still nodded.

He knew what Zechariah was suspecting, but that was exactly what he was going for.

Zechariah wouldn't ask, but they all knew it.

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

Shortly after the Accuser was lured to Dagonus, during a routine training, the solemn voice of the Chapter Think Tank Gresk suddenly came from Sarpedon's sound array channel:

"Sarpedon, we just received an astropathic signal from the Imperial Fists!"

Sarpedon suddenly received the star message from the Imperial Fists and asked in a deep voice:

"content?"

Although he hid well and the extra brothers stayed in the colony, it was not easy for him to get into trouble, but six thousand people were indeed a little too many. When Gresk spoke the content of the astronomical language, Sarpedon's heart finally died.

"The Imperial Fists discovered a Dreadnought on a planet, a Dreadnought that we thought was dead more than 6000 years ago—"

"Danny Ast?"

In the study, Noah looked up at Sarpedon.

Sarpedon said in a deep voice:

“He is the author of Questions and Answers about Joining the Army.”

"Didn't you destroy the book?"

“But there will always be traces left.”

For over six thousand years, the Soul Drinkers have considered the Codex Astartes to be the Chapter's holy book on par with the Codex Astartes.

However, it turns out that this holy book is not a good thing either.

There are a few passages like this:

Humanity is the enemy of the Empire, and suffering may be the weapon against them.

Compared to the might of the Astartes, the elite of humanity are but children. The conclusion of our first lesson naturally follows from this revelation:

Astartes must be independent of humanity. Astartes are not human, Astartes are greater than human.

At first glance, there seems to be nothing wrong with these two paragraphs except that they are a bit arrogant.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Although most Soul Drinkers were deeply influenced by their "teachings", they only became arrogant because of it. At least for six thousand years, they have never been corrupted and have never betrayed the Empire.

However, in essence, "Questions and Answers on Military Service" is still a cult book used by corrupted people to lure the war group into Chaos!

This corruption is subtle and often not even known to people.

If the Codex Astartes is toilet paper in beautiful packaging, then Q&A on Military Service is a chocolate wrapped with answers to questions.

When Noah was cleaning up the Genestealers in Dagonus, he talked about this with Sarpedon. It was from then on that Sarpedon realized the hidden dangers of "Military Q&A" and abandoned it from then on, erasing it from the history of the Chapter.

Although this incident caused dissatisfaction among many battle brothers at the time, it only deepened Sarpedon's uneasiness, but he still forced the abandonment of the "Military Questions and Answers" - this was the price they had to pay to recruit new soldiers in Dagonus.

Sarpedon did not intend to let the new recruits of the regiment come into contact with "Military FAQ", but what he did not expect was that there were still battle brothers who were secretly trying to spread "Military FAQ" to the new recruits, including a priest!
