Claws of the Stars battle barge... Inside the Mechanicum Workshop, five brand-new Apothecary power armours were already laid out. According to the calculations of Ma Yinglong and the Tech-Priests, a standard Adeptus Mechanicus manufacturing machine could produce one in 30 minutes.
And now, the warriors of the Claws of the Stars were donning and studying their new armour. Some of the Space Marine had even started applying paint and decorations to their power armour.
The first prototype had already replaced Huron's original armour. Huron had painted the armour silver, applied the blue symbol of the Ultramarines to the shoulder pads, and installed a golden laurel wreath and runes, symbolizing a Chapter Master, on the helmet. The Imperial Aquila and a solid gold sculpture of the Claws of the Stars were welded to the shoulder pads... Huron was already impatient to see what it would be like to lead 1,000 warriors and 1,000 Apothecaries into battle! Moreover, the company beside him would also become the first all-Apothecary company.
Because he had been missing in the Warp for so many years, the Imperium and his parent Space Marine Chapter had presumed him dead. Therefore, these hundred men were no longer on the roster. If he returned to Badab, then according to the codex astartes, his forces would be over-strength.
And now... we are all Apothecaries!
Li Feng smiled as he looked at Huron, whose mind was full of ideas. One could only say this was the Imperium; the Imperium had many laws and regulations, but the people of the Imperium, whether high-ranking officials or commoners, were all finding loopholes.
The Order of the Battle Sisters, to which Fides belonged, was an example of exploiting loopholes. After the 'Age of Apostasy' ended, the Ecclesiarchy was stripped of its right to bear arms, but why were there still Battle Sisters?
Because the regulation at the time stated 'No Men Under Arms', but the Battle Sisters were all women, not men.
Then the Ecclesiarchy exploited this loophole, retaining the Battle Sisters as its combat force. It truly was a case of 'the higher-ups have policies, the lower-downs have countermeasures.'
Huron, always straightforward, now had a reason to say: "These are all Apothecaries! Medical personnel! They just carry a few guns. Our Space Marine Chapter has so few people, all your recruits and Librarians are on the front lines. Can they fight? They don't have the skill, understand? I advise you to first understand the concept of Astartes. The Legion system was working perfectly before, why did you change it, tell me? Now you let Chaos xenos fight us one against five, how do you explain that? You have no shame left."
Just as everyone was studying the black muscle fiber bodysuit Huron had taken off, they suddenly collectively knelt on one knee towards Li Feng. Li Feng turned to look, what was this? It wasn't even New Year yet.
He saw Ma Yinglong present a tray with both hands. On the tray was a sacred parchment note, a quill, and... a wax seal.
"Teacher Li, please bless these armours and machine spirits..."
Ma Yinglong finished speaking and bowed his head, and the Tech-Priests and Space Marine also collectively knelt on one knee and bowed their heads. Even Huron, as the Chapter Master, knelt respectfully.
Li Feng looked at them like this and could only pick up the quill and write on the notes... Left couplet: "Smooth sailing, good year after year."
Right couplet: "May all your wishes come true, step by step."
Horizontal inscription: "May the whole family be safe and healthy."
After Li Feng finished writing, he affixed this 'couplet' to the armours with the wax seal... then recited a New Year's greeting. The Tech-Priests' eyes were filled with tears at this moment; they had actually witnessed such a sacred ritual.
That quill and wax seal... were holy relics! Several Tech-Priests suddenly exchanged glances, and in their hands under their red robes, they already held wrenches and pipe wrenches... "It's mine! No one is allowed to snatch it!"
Ma Yinglong, however, was indifferent. His room was already filled with things Li Feng had used, and he had even taken the sheets and blankets from the guest room where Li Feng had previously slept. (Jesus' shroud, right?)
Li Feng finished affixing the couplets and clapped his hands. Not bad, very neat. If he were to actually write a long string of holy words in Gothic script, he'd rather copy the 'Preface to the Poems Collected from the Orchid Pavilion'.
Several Space Marine approached Li Feng, carrying a box. Huron took the box and opened it. Inside was a pure gold ring, engraved with the symbol of the Badab Sector and the runes of all the Space Marine Chapters guarding the Badab Sector.
"Brother, this ring is a small token from your younger brother. As long as you wear this ring, you will be the Governor of the Badab Sector, and all government departments and armed forces will follow your lead."
Huron now wanted to bind Li Feng to himself. Li Feng's position in his heart and the help he could provide, Huron wouldn't trade for even a Space Marine Legion of ten thousand men.
As he spoke, Huron eagerly took Li Feng's hand, wanting to put the ring on Li Feng's ring finger. Li Feng panicked, this guy wasn't gay, was he! But Huron's strength was great, and he used both hands, one gripping the wrist, the other putting on the ring, so Li Feng couldn't pull his hand away.
As the ring got closer and closer to his ring finger, Li Feng at this moment was like someone being violated, making a final plea:
"Can it be worn on another finger...?"
Huron at this moment was like the blond character in those blasphemous comics, showing a triumphant smile, and put the ring on Li Feng's index finger.
"Ah! It's in! The ring is in!"
Seeing the ring on his hand, Li Feng suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, feeling like he had been forced into prostitution... And Huron burst into satisfied laughter.
At this moment, all the warriors of the Claws of the Stars collectively bowed their heads and shouted to Li Feng: "Leader! We welcome you to Badab for guidance."
These children are so enthusiastic, one by one as if they had rehearsed. Li Feng looked at Huron and the warriors of the Claws of the Stars. Truly worthy descendants of "Ambitious Guilliman."
Suddenly, the communication device on Li Feng's waist rang. Li Feng picked up the intercom,
"This is Yugen. Major, respond if you hear me!"
"This is Li Feng, what's wrong, Yugen?"
"Political Commissar is dying! Please come quickly!"
"Huh?"
...Soon, a valkyrie transport quickly descended from the sky and arrived at Kofia's field hospital... Li Feng also hurriedly bid farewell to Huron and the others on the ship. Because Huron's Claws of the Stars had to return to the Badab Sector first for a handover, and then lead several Space Marine Chapters from the Badab Sector to Frax.
The moment the plane landed, Li Feng jumped out and rushed into the field hospital at an almost jogging speed. As soon as Li Feng entered, he grabbed a medic,
"Which consulting room is Commissar Cain of the 12th Valhalla Field Artillery Regiment in?"
Hearing that name, the medic suddenly showed a meaningful smile... "Major... Commissar Cain is in Operating Room 13."
Hearing this answer, Li Feng immediately ran towards the operating room. And watching Li Feng's retreating figure, the medic burst out laughing. Today, the entire combat zone heard a joke that could be talked about for a lifetime.
Li Feng rushed to the operating room area. At the door sat Yugen, Colonel Lao Mo, Adjutant Divas, and Sheriff Vinita... Seeing Li Feng arrive, Yugen and Divas, both lower in rank than Li Feng, immediately stood up. Divas had been an officer for so many years and was still a Captain, while Li Feng had rocketed to Major in a few months.
"Major, you're here."
"Where's the Political Commissar! What's wrong with the Political Commissar! Yugen! As the Political Commissar's Adjutant and bodyguard, what are you good for!"
Li Feng was angry. Cain, as his friend, being sent to the operating room meant he had suffered a terrible injury. And this was Yugen's dereliction of duty; he hadn't protected his superior.
At this moment, Yugen looked wronged, as if he had a grievance but nowhere to express it, and could only look at Colonel Lao Mo and Adjutant Divas beside him... "Major... Even if I am the Political Commissar's Adjutant... I can't control it... I really..."
Colonel Lao Mo and Divas on the chairs could no longer suppress their smiles, while the silent Sheriff Vinita stood up and explained to Yugen:
"Li Feng, this has nothing to do with Yugen... It's my fault."
"Ah? Sister Vinita? You..."
At this moment, Divas stifled a laugh, and then finally explained: "Our great Political Commissar! The heroic Commissar Cain! His pelvis... his pelvis is injured... Hahahaha!"
Colonel Lao Mo also wanted to laugh at this moment, but he forcibly held it back. After all, the "culprit" Sheriff Vinita was still here, so it wasn't good to be too blatant.
However, today, Commissar Cain's life story was about to add another anecdote that people would relish...
