Chapter 63: The Road to Salvation (2)
By the time the Whisperer's fleet left Chur's star system, the former city of perfection had been completely reduced to wasteland. With nothing but charred radioactive dust and churning tides of lava, the once pleasantly warm atmosphere was burned by clouds of destruction and fire into a deadly mist filled with poisonous gases, and the former splendor of reason was gone.
It returns to the primitives of a planet, chaotic and disorderly, just as it was when it was undiscovered tens of millions of years ago. It's just that at that time, the flames of war burning in the galaxy were unimaginable-
The stars shifted, and the sea of stars boiled.
Until all reason is completely shattered, until all laws are broken.
That was where it all began, and the aftermath of the destruction it caused spread for thousands of years and still linger today—no doubt from the terrifying aftermath of the Chaos Wave in the middle of the galaxy or the deep purple eyes of the stars.
Even the terrible storm that hovered in the subspace, and the digital power of destruction that sat in the supreme heaven, were inseparable from the terrible war that tore apart all reason.
Until the end of the thirtieth millennium A.D., on the eve of the thirty-first millennium, the universe was still full of wars.
……
"I don't quite understand."
Angeltai looked at the document in his hand, a little confused.
"There's so much more you don't understand, brother."
Shafen sighed and handed over more and heavier documents to Angeltay.
On the delicate leather texts of these hardcover books, a gilded Gothic word stands out.
Legionnaire Canon.
After briefly flipping through the heavy information, Angeltai's brows furrowed slightly.
Brother Astarte, the legion reorganized into a warband...
Just a few words in it already make my head feel bigger, and there is even more exciting news...
"I'm serious, Shafen... High priest, does it really not exist...? ”
Ingres asked, confused.
"yes, it's gone. Our genetic prototype split the system with our own hands—from then on, we priests were monks, with nothing but faith and loyalty. ”
Xia Fen replied helplessly to his best friend, it was obvious that as the priest of the Seventh Company, he had known this shocking news for a long time.
He spread his hands out and said it didn't matter.
"Well, that's not a bad thing, though. At least I'll never have to sing to those old guys again—especially when I'm training. ”
"And a general person like me who hasn't yet entered the circle of senior priests will hardly be affected, you know, my personality is not to be seen by those old diehards."
Speaking of this, Xia Fen suddenly remembered something, and patted Angeltai's shoulder vigorously.
"Speaking of which, you should be promoted now, brother. Now the commander of each regiment is equivalent to the commander of the regiment in the past, and is only responsible for the genetic prototype - in addition to the battalion commander who still exists in the mother regiment, the second in line of command of the sub-regiment is the company commander! ”
"From now on, I'll be a sir, and you're so lucky."
“… Cut. There is no point in this kind of false name, Shafen. ”
"If I wait for me to become the leader of the war group, it also means that the sawtooth sun is also about to die."
Angeltay slapped Chafen's hand away with some annoyance, he had long been accustomed to the 'liveliness' of this pastor's best friend in his daily life.
But what made him more concerned was what was described in the holy scriptures in his hands.
"Still, I don't quite understand..."
"The Legion... Is it really split into warbands? ”
Angeltay asked, a little confused.
"yes, there are probably hundreds of warbands."
Xia Fen simply flipped through the holy scriptures, and the former priest naturally knew very well about the big moves of their genetic prototypes in the corresponding information channels.
"There are large-scale warbands like our Sawtooth Sun, and there are also small warbands that can be formed by dividing out a battalion."
"As for the Mother Regiment, there are probably only a few tens of thousands left now - however, if a large war call order is received from the Mother Regiment, it can be temporarily reinstated to the original corps structure."
"The rest... You can find it yourself in the holy scriptures. ”
Immediately, Xia Fen closed the heavy holy text.
It looks quaint and dull on the outside, but on the inside it is incredibly new and creative.
Just like the Whisperer's past, and future.
“…… It's incredible. ”
Angeltay couldn't help but sigh.
He slowly flipped through the holy book in his hand, which almost completely changed the legion structure of the Bearer, and it was really difficult not to feel strange to the seventh company commander with many structures and changes in it.
Perhaps, this may be the future of the Bearer...
Angeltay thought.
In fact, after the Whisperers left the City of Perfection, the entire Legion was in turmoil to the point of danger - even rumors of the Whisperers' imminent rebellion against the Empire were spreading among the Warriors' Guild.
Fortunately, these rumors did not appear within the Legion, but were inadvertently mentioned by the Whisperer fighters who were close to the Twentieth Legion.
Moreover, the genogen sent by the Emperor to spy on the Bearer had been talking to Luo Jia until a few days ago, when news of the imminent dissolution of the High Priest system spread, accompanied by Luo Jia's order to travel deeper into the Misty Star Field.
Angeltai also seemed to have heard that the Lord of the Twelfth Legion had mentioned changes to the Bearer in his several days of conversation with Lorga.
- Perhaps, this is the way to get the speaker out of the crisis.
Angeltay glanced out the window, and in the deep and enchanting space, a deep purple eye shone faintly among the stars.
……
Since the destruction of the City of Perfection, the organizational structure of the Bearers has changed dramatically.
The priesthood created by Loga himself was dismantled by him and replaced by the Astarte monks, a position that could only be held by Astartes who were extremely devout in their belief in the Emperor, and no longer had any degree of power, and the structure within the Seventeenth Legion was only a strict legion.
At the same time, the Bearers have almost completely reorganized the huge legions into warband structures, and based on the original number of large warbands, they have spawned warbands of all sizes, ranging from those that are almost as large as the Legion of the Sawtooth Sun, to some small warbands consisting of only a few hundred Astartes.
After being reorganized into a warband, each warband leader will only receive orders from the genetic prototype and the Human Empire from now on, and the ranks and ranks within the Bearer will no longer affect their right to speak, and each warband can also choose the world attacked by the Bearer as their home planet.
In this way, the large and bloated Legion of Whisperers will become an efficient organization with the Mother Regiment and the Gene Primera as its core, capable of using its large numbers to develop simultaneously with Astarte's unique tactics.
From then on, their focus was not on the worlds in the main direction of the Great Expedition, but on clearing and sweeping the inaccessible galaxies for the Empire, a task that only the Iron Warriors would undertake.
It was an unprecedented change, and even the War Council from Terra questioned the changes to the Seventeenth Legion, and of course, as the countless sub-regiments of the Whisperers conquered the remote and inaccessible territories of the Empire with great efficiency.
No one knows why Loga had decided to make such drastic changes, perhaps because he feared that the original structure would be too easy to mobilize an overly large army for high-ranking but ill-intentioned leaders like Erebus and Colfaron, or perhaps because of the Bearers' organizational problems, which made their Great Expedition less effective.
But, no matter what, they have indeed made a difference.
As it turned out, the Whisperers' efficiency problems due to their sheer size seemed to have been completely resolved under this unique reform, and the resolute split of the Legion was an unquestionable sign of loyalty to Terra.
As the Whisperers continued to move forward in the hazy star field, their new children also took root here, as if the entire direction of the Whisperers was to spread their sphere of influence - more and more worlds were being reclaimed under their iron heels, and the flexible tactical composition and tenacious development ability complemented each other, and the composition of the countless sub-groups made their development not limited by the will of the mother group.
Although the Whisperers are no longer involved in most of the large-scale battles, in silence... Everywhere in the galaxy, emergency reinforcement from the small warbands of the Whisperers can be called.
This is of great significance for securing the Empire's control.
Even the Cult of the Mechanics began to hire these Whisperer warriors to travel with them, as the search for STCs and various archaeological missions in the galaxy was dangerous, but the support required was often only a small wargroup or a company that could be accomplished.
In fact, the reason why these strict and disciplined Astarte monks were so popular with the Mechanicus was that they were more self-disciplined than any other legion—and their tolerance for the Empire's officially sanctioned religion.
Of course, it is also possible that the common canon of the Legion of the Whisperers allowed these Astarte monks to maintain restraint in their attitude towards religion at all times.
Because of this, although the mother group of the Whisperers gradually disappeared during the expedition of the Hazy Star Field, its large and small warbands are also popular throughout the galaxy, and many worlds often refer to the Salamanders, Ultramarines, and Whisperers as three legions that are extremely friendly to mortals when calling for help.
Anyone can see that the overall size of the Bearers will probably grow larger and larger in the next great expedition.
However, no one knows why they reorganized the legion in this way, or what their purpose was to grow to such a size...
Before the Greenskins frenzy set off from Ulanor, the Whisperer's fleet had already embarked on a pilgrimage to the hazy starfield...
