“For the emperor, for the holy Tara!”
Under the guidance of the priest, these new recruits chanted: “For the emperor, for the holy Tara!!!” (For the emperor, for the holy Tara!!!)
The bolter in his hand sprayed out bolts engraved with “Emperor’s Forgiveness”!
Facing the enemies coming like a tide, the Instructor Priest chanted hymns praising the Emperor, holding the Hidden Staff (a sacred ceremonial equipment equipped by Legion Chaplain or Chapter Chaplain) in his hand. This dual attribute is very important to Space Marines. This is natural, as they regard combat as the best form of worship to the Emperor. The Hidden Staff is a medium-length staff decorated with an Imperial Sky Eagle or a winged skull.
Like a home run, it continuously hits the enemy’s fragile skull, and every blow will make the enemy’s brains explode!
Furthermore, there is a powerful decomposition field device inside the staff, allowing it to destroy other matter like a powered weapon.
Seeing how heroic the instructor priests were, these recruits were naturally unwilling to lag behind others. The bolt guns in their hands continued to spray out the unique “Emperor’s Wrath”, and the enemies also continued to spray “Emperor’s Wrath”. Under the attack, it turned into a pile of cripples.
The instructing priest couldn’t help but smile when he saw the enemy-killing behavior of these recruits. Although he was wearing a skull mask so that his smile could not be seen by these recruits, the recruits seemed to feel the influence under the mask of the instructing priest. smile.
The “Emperor’s Fury” sprayed out by the bolt gun in his hand was getting faster and faster, and the number of enemy corpses piled up within the range of the bolt gun was increasing. But in the face of these tide-like enemies, this was not the case. The loss is nothing at all.
Soon the enemies like a tide surrounded all the new recruits, but they did not panic. The bolt guns in their hands continued to spray out the “Emperor’s Wrath”. The flames from the bolt guns were so dazzling and bright. , the flames that spurt out contain the Emperor’s forgiveness!
The secret pastoral staff in the priest’s hand swings faster and faster, and even creates afterimages in the air. Each swing will bring a fatal blow to the enemy!
The enemy seemed not to be afraid of death, gnawing at all the edible things around them like locusts crossing the border. On the distant mountain peak, the commander of the first company, Sakaski, looked at the enemy with the magnified telescope in his hand. On that battlefield, the recruits led by the instructor priest were killing the enemy, and there was a smile on the cold faces under the laurel-crowned helmets.
How many years had passed? Even Sakaski himself didn’t know how many years he had not smiled. It seemed that he had never smiled since he became a Space Marine. Perhaps he had seen too many things since becoming a Space Marine. Death causes smiles to wither! So much so that if he took off his helmet, his smile would make many people cry!
The commander of the second company, Polusalino, seemed to feel the ‘terrifying’ smile under Sakaski’s helmet. He asked curiously: “Oh yo yo yo, it’s really rare. Since that incident happened, I have never seen you smile. What’s going on today? The sun is coming out in the west? Yo, Really, this planet does not rotate from east to west, it rotates from west to east! I never thought that I would actually see the sun come out from the west in my lifetime!”
And when Sakaski heard Porusalino’s voice teasing him, he blushed a little and then said with some shame: “So and so laughed, I, I didn’t, hum!” That arrogant voice almost made waves. Rusalino was so sick that he vomited!
Speaking of that incident is the most reluctant thing in the entire legion to recall. At the beginning, the commander of the first company in the entire legion was not Sakaski, but Zefa, who was known as the Black Fist. !
In the first company at that time, under the leadership of Zefa, who was known as the black boxer, many emperor champions who were famous in the empire appeared in the company! Even the Emperor himself praised Zephyr, praising him as: “The Emperor’s Champion Mentor!” As for some good people in Terra, they even praised Zephyr as “the great mentor!”
But these titles did not make Zefa feel lost. Instead, they made the burden on his shoulders heavier. At that time, Zefa, who was the commander of the first company, once suppressed a rebellion on a certain planet. He unexpectedly discovered his identity. The kind-hearted Zefa adopted Sakaski, who was still a war orphan at the time, and sent him to the Zhongsi Academy on a certain planet to study.
And Sakaski did not disappoint Zefa. He successfully graduated from Zhongji Academy and became a trainee political commissar. Moreover, Sakaski, who was a war orphan on the battlefield, had seen war. He is terrifying and ruthless, so Sakaski will not show any mercy to those deserters. This behavior has also been praised by many political commissars and the Ministry of Military Affairs, and he was specially awarded a Star of Terra Honor!
When Sakaski showed off this Terran Star of Honor to Zefa, Zefa took out dozens of boxes filled with Terran Stars of Honor from his lounge, and this move also It was a complete blow to Sakaski at the time.
From then on, Sakaski on the battlefield began to get even crazier!
Under his leadership, the number of casualties of the Astra Militarum led by him has remained high, but the victories created are countless. But for Zephyr, this is undoubtedly a waste of the Emperor’s currency! He scolded Sakas severely, scolding him for not cherishing the emperor’s currency in his hands! Every imperial currency in your hand is a living person! They all have wives, children, and children, and they shouldn’t be on the battlefield, such a waste!
However, Sakaski did not seem to appreciate Zefa’s preaching, and instead became more paranoid and crazy. Despite this, Zefa would also preach to Sakaski like a gentle father!
During a raid on an enemy base to fight for a manufacturing template, a regiment led by Sakaski was ambushed and then surrounded by the enemy, even though Sakaski thought he would return to the Emperor’s Golden Throne. , as the fight for the Emperor continued, Zephyr led a company from the sky via drop pods.
It was during that operation that Sakaski saw for the first time the strength of the Astartes monks known as demigods.
Those enemies could not even survive a single attack by the soldiers of the company led by Zefa. When the battle was over, there was no casualty in the company led by Zefa! Although the power armor Zefa wore had long been stained red by the enemy’s blood, when he took off his helmet, the face under the helmet was so resolute, and the smile at the corner of his mouth was so gentle.
He walked up to Sakaski, knelt down on one knee and gently touched Sakaski’s head, then stood up and followed his companions through the airdrop pod and flew back to the sky again!
And it was at that time that Sakaski had the ambition to become a space warrior in his heart! After unremitting efforts and Zefa’s recommendation, Sakaski participated in the baptism of the Second Legion at that time. When participating in the baptism of the Second Legion, Zefa also specifically found Sakaski. Can he survive? These past three baptisms?
And Sakaski’s answer is definitely yes, yes!
Such an answer made Zefa very satisfied. It was the worry in his heart, but it could not be hidden. Sakaski also knew Zefa’s worries, but he did not believe in evil. He wanted to rely on his own strength to conquer this world full of thousands of people. Three difficult baptisms!
In the third baptism, which was the last baptism and contact with Chaos, Sakaski broke into the lair of the Chaos enemy alone, and destroyed the lair of the Chaos enemy with only a chain sword in his hand. Completely killed him, and staggered back to the military camp alone with the head of the boss who was in the lair of the Chaos enemy at that time, dragging his seriously injured body!
Such heroic behavior naturally attracted the attention of the Primarch Leon at the time! At the same time, this reckless behavior was reprimanded by Zefa, which was more caring than reprimand. Whenever Zefa talked about Sakaski with his colleagues, his words were full of pride! It seems that he is very proud to have such a student!
But even such a powerful space warrior, whom the Emperor calls the “Emperor’s Champion Mentor”, cannot withstand the knives of time! During that battle, the gray-haired Zefa was ordered to go out to destroy those planets that betrayed the emperor! But he didn’t expect that it turned out to be a trap set by Chaos. When the old Zefa faced a tide of Chaos enemies constantly besieging him, just when he was about to die, he seemed to remember his youth. The glorious days! He let out a roar of laughter, and the power hammer in his hand became so powerful that no enemy was allowed to come within striking distance of him. He desperately burned the life in his body in exchange for the last bright light!
Even Chaos respected Zefa, who was called the “Emperor’s Champion Mentor”. When this great space warrior died, all the enemies on the scene stopped attacking. , looking at the old man standing on the pile of corpses who was still standing and seemed to be unable to straighten under the weight of the heavy power armor, they all saluted him with a double eagle salute! Carefully scrubbing his blood-stained body, putting on power armor for him, then carrying him respectfully onto a shuttle boat, and sending him back to where he came from!
On that day, the entire empire was in mourning, and even the Emperor stood up from the golden throne where he had been sitting for so long to remember him.
When Sakaski learned the news, he burst into tears. From then on, he put on the helmet that belonged to Zefa. No one has ever seen the true face under the helmet, and no one has ever seen it again. Sakaski, all that is left is an empty wreckage, and inside is nothing more than Sakaski’s wandering soul!
