Chapter 197, from today onwards, I am an immortal bird

In the unverifiable era, the emperor who was still alive created the genetic seed and created the space marine.

Today, this technology has long been lost.

In the current era, genetic seeds can only be born by the space marines themselves. And, due to the long-term separation, the genetic seeds have slowly developed some subtle differences between each historic warband, and their characteristics will also be different after the genetic surgery and the creation of the space marines.

The genetic seed bank that the Immortal Bird Wargroup had accumulated over the years had been destroyed.

According to the history of the warband, in the final battle to end the Centennial Atonement Expedition, they took the warband's arsenal and the flagship of the warband's gene pool with them, which completely disappeared in a big bang.

In this world, if you want to see the genetic seeds of the immortal birds again, except for the seven soldiers who are still alive and picked after they died, the rest is only in the Imperial Gene Seed Bank.

The Space Marine Warband also has a tax, which is called the 'Gene Seed Tax'. Periodically, 10% of the new seeds produced during this period are required to be paid, and the Order of the Mechanics and the Church of the Imperial State check that the Band's genetic seeds are still pure, in order to determine that there is nothing wrong with the Warband.

The seeds that pass the test will go into the Imperial Gene Pool, which will usually be used to build new warbands.

In this way, the Immortal Warband could theoretically request assistance from the Empire to rebuild the Warband through the genetic seed taxes they have handed over in the past.

But in reality, this is not possible.

First of all, the immortal bird fought the application, but the stone sank into the sea. The Empire didn't have this rule, and there was never a rule that said that warbands could be replenished with past seed taxes if they suffered heavy losses.

The Empire really doesn't have the motivation to do this: why should it replenish the combat strength of the old warband?

From Gu Hang's point of view, if he was a member of the Supreme Council of the Empire, he would not agree.

The Space Marine warbands are within the Empire, and according to the Holy Codex, they are the same as the independent warlords. Most have their own home planet, which does not pay taxes; The Space Marine warbands are generally obedient, but there are also many who don't listen to the announcement;

The empire doesn't even have an agency with the power to govern the space marines, and letting the space marines do their work is like the relationship between Gu Hang and the immortal birds, they have to be ordered and entrusted, if they really don't do it, or if they don't contribute, unless they make a fuss and give people the name of a traitor, there is no conventional means to punish or restrict.

And it's not so simple to really give a traitor a name. Which wargroup with a long history, without a group of comrades-in-arms, good friends, planets saved by them, etc., is all relationships, all political backers, and can be judged if you want to? After the verdict was over, the mother group and the war group of the same door came out one by one to fight against each other.

There is a real hammer, that is another matter; The slightest controversy can't do this.

In this case, why support the old warband? If there is a real demand, the construction of the new regiment will be over.

Let's find a way to go by ourselves.

Especially the Immortal Bird Warband, this kind of criminal record, who has really been sentenced to an atonement expedition, and whose political connections have almost been emptied, let alone get support. If you have the kung fu to save you, it is better to build a new regiment, and it is not like an immortal bird, there are a lot of historical problems that cannot be clarified.

Cut off the hope of getting new seeds from the Empire, all they can rely on is themselves.

The sacrifice of the three fighters brought three seeds of hope, but the operation failed all.

This means that the seeds of the Immortal Bird Warband are only left on the four people who are still alive.

Theoretically, there can't be anywhere else.

In this case, Gu Hang took out one.

What does it mean?

Did you have something to do with the above, got the gene seed, or what's going on?

Gu Hangbian can't justify this matter. He couldn't have said that the Imperial Gene Bank had authorized him a batch of immortal bird seeds, and that this had never happened in the entire Empire's 10,000-year history.

But continue to play stupid and not admit it?

It doesn't seem right.

It has been half a year since Gu Hang obtained the exchange ability of genetic seeds. To say that he is not itchy is impossible. He had also been planning an opportunity to use the exchange power of genetic seeds.

If it weren't for this idea, when the beautiful girl caravan was there before, he would have spent a lot of money to buy twenty sets of power armor?

Isn't that just for that day?

According to Gu Hang's original plan, he wanted to wait until Wu Jiarong took time to let this priest of the Mechanical Sect study how to do the gene implantation surgery.

This work doesn't have to be done by Space Marines, in fact, when the Empire wants to build a new warband, it is also the Mechanic Order that is in charge.

The only problem is that Wu Jiarong does not specialize in genetic engineering. In comparison, Hu Ke is a better choice, but if you consider the level of trust, it is Wu Jiarong who is the best choice.

Let her study it, and then Gu Hang will find some qualified and potential teenagers, use the [Soldier Card] system, train them to the T1 level, and then exchange them for gene seeds. The total cost is 211 gifts, plus the life of a potential teenager, as the price of Wu Jiarong's practice.

Even if you fail, after practicing a few times, you should always be able to practice.

Anyway, genetic seeds are not precious here in Gu Hang, just a hundred gifts. Now if you want to draw a technology, it's much more than that.

The only concern is how to explain it after it is figured out.

Now, take this opportunity to negotiate with the Immortal Bird Warband...... That's pretty much perfect.

Moreover, when people came over, they almost pointed out the situation, and there was not much room to continue to pretend to be stupid.

Sitting on his governor's throne, Gu Hang looked down, looking down at the four Space Marines, and his eyes were especially focused on Martins and Rizzo.

He could see the relief and nervousness on Martins' face.

He could also see that Pastor Rizzo had opened his eyes at some point, and his expression was full of anticipation, even a little fanatical!

Remembering what Martins had just told them about the fact that Rizzo was being directed to the Raging Star when he prayed to the Emperor, he gritted his teeth and decided to give it a go.

He thought clearly, in a desperate situation, this group of undead birds who were full of thoughts on how to continue the warband, when faced with a genetic seed that came from nowhere, but indeed belonged to the descendants of the undead birds, it was very likely that they would really give up the pursuit of the reason, and only wanted the wargroup to survive.

Space marines are known as the Emperor's Angels of Death, and rightly so, they all value loyalty. But...... There is no mutiny among the Space Marines?

That's not it.

Rebel Warband, Chaos Space Marines...... These are tangible things.

Isn't that a split from the loyal Space Marines?

The immortal birds are like this now, I am afraid that if it is not for the survival of the war group, they will have a good chance of agreeing to let them directly rebel, not to mention, what Gu Hang wants them to do next is not to let them rebel.

Moreover, Gu Hang looked at Rizo and always felt that this pastor would become a key, and maybe he would become his own internal response.

Thinking of this, Gu Hang took a deep breath, looked at the four space marines below, and said, "If you say so, I do think of a way that may help you......"

started first, Gu Hang didn't say anything specific, leaving room for it.

He spoke slowly, and did not forget to observe the expressions of Martins and Rizzo.

The longing on Martins' face suddenly became full of hope.

The warlord looked at him with a wistful gaze, eagerly waiting for him to say what to say.

And the frenzied look on Rizzo's face became even more obvious.

The reaction of the two made Gu Hang feel a little relieved.

Their first concern is not 'why this governor can help us get genetic seeds?' but 'we can agree to anything', which in itself says a lot.

He continued, "But this matter is too big and special, it involves some secrets, and I will pay a great price for it, which is more than the level of support I have for you. So, if you need this special help, I need you to promise me a few conditions. ”

Martins couldn't wait to speak: "You speak! I will definitely say yes! No matter what the conditions, I will agree! ”

He was indeed ready to pay any price.

Gu Hang raised a finger: "First of all, the needs of the Immortal Bird Warband are loyal to me. ”

Just this first one, Martins was stunned.

A warband, allegiance to a planetary governor?

Has this happened in the entire history of mankind?

Planetary governors, aren't they all mortals appointed by the warbands to help them manage the planet, at best, they are a steward, and they can't be replaced?

Now, the warband will pledge allegiance to the planetary governor?

He was a little unrelatable.

Gu Hang's expression calmed down: "I think what I want to say is clearer: this is beyond my help to my allies, and you yourself should understand it." Only with my own people, truly my own people, can I pay the price. ”

After a pause, Gu Hang's body leaned forward and stared at Martins: "I am ready to pay the price for the revival of the war group, but the premise is that this is 'my war group'." So, Captain Martins, you said that you are willing to pay any price, so does what you just said still count? ”

"I'm ......," Martins looked at Rizzo again.

He saw only Pastor Rizzo's encouraging eyes.

"I promise." Martins bowed his noble head.

"Then take the oath." Gu Hang said.

Now that you have agreed, what else is there to say?

Martins knelt down on one knee to Gu Hang, who was sitting on the governor's throne in front of the golden statue of the Emperor, and at the same time lowered his proud head.

With his movements, Rizzo and the other two Space Marines also knelt down.

Next, it should be the oath session.

But Martins pursed her lips tightly.

He didn't know how to speak.

At this time, Pastor Rizzo spoke: "It is my job to lead the warband to take oaths and sing prayers, so I'll come." ”

Martins breathed a sigh of relief,

The chief priest is still a little useful at the critical moment, at least in his place, to take on this most embarrassing part.

But soon, he couldn't laugh anymore.

"From this day forward, I am ...... for the immortal"

Rizzo's first sentence made the DNA of the three Martins move.

This is the oath of the Immortal Bird Warband, which every fighting brother must memorize when he officially joins the warband, and he must recite it when he swears to the emperor in front of all the fighting brothers. After that, almost every banquet, dinner, and prayer of the warband, it had to be the beginning of the chapter.

It's been a long time since I memorized it.

In the past, including the current warband, every time a prayer activity like this was conducted, the head pastor was led by Rizzo. Everyone was already very familiar with this, so the three of them almost instinctively chanted along.

"From this day forward, I am ...... for the immortal"

"I am the sword of the emperor and the sword of Gu Hang."

The eyes of the three of them widened for a moment, and they looked at Rizzo incredulously.

What's that? The oath of the warband, you just changed it?

If you swear allegiance, you swear allegiance, and what is the purpose of changing the oath that has been passed down for thousands of years in the entire war group?

No, you can discuss it with us!

However, the look on their face was resolute and fanatical, and it was evident that he was urging them to follow along.

What else can Martins and the remaining two warriors do?

Things have come to this point, and there is still a saying that I will stand up and say that I will not do it?

They only paused, but finally stubbornly followed the presend.

"I am the sword of the emperor and the sword of Gu Hang."

"I am the Emperor's Shield and Gu Hang's Shield."

"I will bring death to the enemies of mankind, and I will bring glory back to the emperor and Gu Hang!"

"I will die for the emperor's sacrifice, and I will be reborn because of Gu Hang!"

"From this day on, I am an immortal bird, and I will never stop fighting!"

……

Gu Hang listened awkwardly on it.

This oath forced his name to be added, how embarrassing it sounded.

And in addition to the embarrassment, the more central point is...... Guilty.

How can Lao Tzu stand side by side with the emperor in an oath?

How much trouble would this cause if others heard it?

But he couldn't stop it, and it was hard to say what he was feeling.

It's really not dark at all, that's impossible.

A warband, swearing allegiance to him, and even changing the warband's oath, can he be unhappy?

Although there were only four people left in this warband, from this moment on, he could finally use that repeatable event without any scruples to exchange for genetic seeds.

The seal is lifted, do you still have to worry about the speed of the explosion for the hanging?

However, Gu Hang was not carried away by this dark feeling.

He still remembers business.

After the Immortal Bird Wargroup completed the oath, Gu Hang raised a second finger......
