Warhammer 40k: Far East Storm

Chapter 27 Let's Get Started

A standard Star Marine warrior has an extraordinary physique and strength, and they have also received systematic training. They are made to fight against powerful alien monsters. They are the emperor's honor and weapons of killing.

The relationship between a weak young man and a standard Star Marine is like the relationship between an egg and a stone. If there is any kind of battle between the two, it is not difficult to imagine the outcome, let alone three.

Jacob looked at Li's face carefully. He hoped to see some messages from this young-looking face. Maybe it was anger at his words? Yes, he should be angry. Such a soldier, after suffering so much suffering, finally fell on the epic battlefield. He should have died with glory, which he deserved. But the empire kept him alive. When he slept for nine thousand years and woke up and saw the world that had changed dramatically, the empire did not trust him. The people he knew had already become history. What should he think at this time? Naturally, he returned to the battlefield he was familiar with. After all, the whole world is still familiar with what is on the battlefield. The smoke and killing have not changed even after nine thousand years.

He should want to lead his army back to the Star Sea, and then devote himself to the battlefields like purgatory to ruthlessly destroy the enemies of the empire.

But he can't. Jacob knows what cruel things he has just done.

But the other party is not angry.

There was no crying, no hysteria, no collapse, no begging with a smiling face, and nothing happened as Jacob expected.

Li was just stared, and then smiled softly.

Even in a small yard mixed with the aroma of black tea and coffee, even if the warm sunshine is shining on him at this time, Jacob also feels a cold rising from the bottom of his heart at this time. This is a wonderful feeling he has never had before, fear? Or an unknown premonition?

That may be the legendary crow's smile. After all, this young man's body has the crow's genes. Did he make an extremely wrong judgment?

But before Jacob could think about it, Li said, "It's really a good custom. I appreciate the ideas contained in this tradition. It's a kind of pride. I'm proud of being a Star Marine Corps soldier. Naturally, such a group cannot be led by the weak, and those who can become the leader should naturally show their brave side.

Not only was there no unexpected objection or other reaction, but Li actually showed considerable appreciation for this tradition, and this emotion was not like pretending. Did this boy sleep stupidly because he slept for 9,000 years? Didn't he understand the so simple meaning of my words?" Er, it's really a good tradition, but if you can't defeat the three Star Marines, then you can't become the leader of the Star Wars. Jacob thought for a moment and then added, "Even if you have the emperor's edict, you can't do it."

"Of course, no soldier will accept the leadership of the weak. If even three soldiers can't be defeated, what qualifications does such a person have to lead others, and how can he protect his subordinates? Li Lue said excitedly, "I can't wait, so when can we start?"

"What to start?" Jacob was stunned, and then opened his mouth in astonishment and said, "Are you going to participate in the battle according to tradition?"

"Why not?" Li blinked and asked, "Do you think I will lose?"

What do you mean by thinking you will lose? I'm 100% sure you will lose! Not to mention three, even a standard Star Marine warrior can easily twist your thin body into a twist. There is no upper level of magnitude between the two. How can you win in this situation? But these words are not suitable to be so straightforward. It's not polite. "Well, I just think your hope of winning is not very big. After all, whether it's strength, physique, height or speed, explosive power, all of these you are at an obvious disadvantage..."

"Do we, the Star Marines, only dare to fight with people who are weaker than ourselves? Are you questioning my courage?

Jacob took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and then said sincerely, "How come, I'm just worried about your safety. You should know that even if it is a battle that only uses cold weapons, it is easy to have accidents, and even if there is serious injury or death in such a battle, both sides will not be held accountable afterwards.

He is indeed worried about the safety of Li's life. The traditional saying of the Star Marines is grand, that is, it has a sense of actual combat. Once the two sides enter the arena, it is like stepping on the battlefield. There are no rules there, only the enemy in front of them. In a battle on such an occasion, even if an ordinary soldier will be killed by a senior officer who is about to become the head of the regiment, he does not have to take any responsibility. On the contrary, he will be rewarded for his bravery. And if you say it badly, it's cruel and bloody.

In Jacob's view, once Li decides to participate in "traditional activities", he will probably die in the arena like this. After all, few interstellar warriors know how to "lew water" or "retain hands". Everything they learn is to kill the enemy quickly. In battle, they don't Know how to be kind.

And he didn't want Li to die like this. He had hoped that Li's Star Wars could be formed, but it should be formed according to his wishes.

For the Star Marines, the formation of any new regiment is worth celebrating, because it is nothing like before. In the legendary era before Li woke up, it was the era of Star Marines, whether it was offensive or defensive, whether it was a despicable traitor or a glorious loyalty. The dazzling star on the battlefield is always the Star Marines.

But now it is completely different. The empire now has three major military forces, the most powerful of which is the imperial defense force led by the command. Those ordinary soldiers do not have sophisticated armor and strong physique. They are just a collection of ordinary people, an army formed by ordinary people. But because of this, the Imperial Guard has an unprecedented number, and they are fighting with the enemy in millions of worlds. But when it comes to military power, the Imperial Defense Force is undoubtedly the most powerful in the empire.

Another huge military group is the combat nuns belonging to the Imperial State Church. They are a group of crazy women armed with fanatical religious beliefs and sophisticated weapons. Except for those believers, almost no one in the empire likes them.

The once brilliant Star Marines has long been no longer glorious.

The relationship between the three armed departments of the empire is even more complicated. From budget quarrels within the empire to the competition for control of some special resource galaxies, small-scale frictions often occur. Although there are continuous secret struggles, it is good to maintain harmony between the three parties on the surface. However, in terms of overall strength, the Star Marines are not dominant among the three major armed groups.

For groups like the Star Marines, only powerful forces are the embodiment of the value of their existence.

Therefore, the formation of any new regiment is valuable to the Star Marine Corps, which means the enhancement of the overall strength. However, the components of the new regiment have strict and demanding requirements. It is not something that the Star Marine Corps can decide by itself to pass the audit of many departments.

Because Li has the emperor's mandate, the formation of the Star Land Corps will naturally not encounter too much interference from other departments. It would be better if he could hold this group in his own hands.

Things began as Jacob expected. He first used the environment and warm words to relax their vigilance, and then Jacob told Li about the cruel reality, but after that, the development of things went beyond the predetermined track. In Jacob's expectation, Li should have changed because of his own words. Panic or discouraged, Jacob can persuade Li to give up his right to become the leader of the Star Wars. Naturally, the precious letter of appointment cannot be wasted like this. Naturally, it needs Li to be transferred.

Of course, Li is still the nominal leader of the upcoming Star Wars, but the actual control should be handed over honestly.

But this young man doesn't seem to care about his life and death at all. In Jacob's opinion, it's better to lament his madness than to praise his bravery.

"Will you not pursue the responsibilities of both sides afterwards? That is to say, even if I kill those soldiers, I don't have to bear any responsibility?"

Jacob rolled his eyes and thought that your little body might hurt the soldiers of the Star Marines? But he still answered Li's question politely: "This is the case in theory, but historically, no new regiment leader has killed those challenging soldiers. After all, it's just a performance battle. You just need to make the soldiers realize the gap, and then give them the motivation and goal to move forward."

"I see. I will pay attention to moderation, so can we start now?"
