As an Emperor's Shield veteran, Manon knew all too well what the recruitment officers on the front lines were like.
They couldn't care less about the background of a Mortal or a low-level Technician Priest. As long as you were alive, once they got their hands on you, there were only two outcomes: survive until victory or die on the battlefield.
Of course, you couldn't blame the recruitment officers entirely.
When the war grew so intense that a five-thousand-man infantry company thrown into battle couldn't last thirty minutes, even the bastards from the recruitment office would return to the Divine Emperor's light alongside those soldiers.
It was no surprise, then, that they resorted to any brutal method necessary to replenish troop numbers.
Let alone an unofficial Technician Priest loyal to the Capet Dynasty.
