Chapter 275 The Weeper’s Holiday (1)
Chu Zihang integrated into this world view very naturally, and the initial shock and excitement had passed.
He showed a strong desire for knowledge and asked various questions about these "new things" that appeared, but he avoided the question of why Lu Mingfei was related to everything in front of him.
Fingel, who considers himself a "normal person", is like a supporting character who laughed at chuunibyou and then was slapped in the face by reality. Now he can only try not to ask too much and believe it all - otherwise he will be slapped in the face later. It's not reality but those tall and mighty steel warriors.
"What are those?"
"Gene-seeds. Those are the glory and legacy of our fallen brothers, and they are also the starting point for our transformation into Adepts Astartes."
Lu Mingfei introduced Chu Zihang in a low voice.
After about a full set of modified organs, enough to be implanted into twenty Astartes, were delivered, the Lamenters warriors began to deliver the Chapter's most precious gene-seed from the Mother of Tears.
Different from those heavy boxes soaked in artificial amniotic fluid that contained modified organs, the metal cans used to preserve gene seeds were engraved with the shining blood and tears of the Blood Angels on their surfaces; the soldiers solemnly held them in their hands. The palms of your hands, stepping down step by step from the landing platform - they are not only the glory and legacy of the departed brothers, but also the extension of the will of the future brothers.
"Those two tough men at the back... ahem warriors, do they have any special responsibilities?"
Fingel noticed that the power armor worn by the two Astartes walking at the rear of the team was somewhat different from that of other warriors, and he became serious about studying.
"The person in the front is the holy blood priest of the battle group. He is mainly responsible for rescuing and treating injured battle brothers, recovering the gene seeds of brothers who died in battle, and appeasing the mentally traumatized brothers; the one in the back is the priest of the battle group, leading the battle group... The Death Company will also help the sacrificial brothers share the burden of comfort and encouragement.”
Fingel took a breath and stood in awe. He didn't notice the gravity of Lu Mingfei's tone. His attention was completely attracted by the two warriors——
The Astartes walking in front wore bright yellow power armor and white robes, and held a golden Holy Grail in his hands that seemed to be made of skulls;
The power armor of the Astartes at the back is completely different. Except for the golden blood-drop marks on the chest, the overall color is black. The most chilling thing is the skull-like skull helmet, with its breathtaking red light. It was revealed from the skull's eye sockets that it was holding a broken battle flag with obvious repair marks and blood stains in one hand, and a thick black metal scepter in the other.
This refreshed Fingel's understanding of the two professions of "nanny" and "priest". Neither of these two two-meter-tall brothers looked like masters who needed protection from others.
This is indeed true - Lu Mingfei has the best say on this: the Holy Blood Priest is equivalent to the "apothecary" position of other chapters, and it is natural that the Lamenters Chapter often fights against evil aliens such as the Tyranids. There is rarely an opportunity to quietly recover seeds after the war; therefore, this Holy Blood Priest Brother will often fight his way into the aliens to rescue his injured brothers, or to collect from the corpses of his comrades surrounded by aliens. Forcibly recover gene seeds.
In addition to motivating the morale of the warriors and training the new recruits, the most important thing for the chaplains of the chapter is to lead the brothers of the Death Company who have fallen into the "black rage" with fanatical and passionate slogans to carry out suicide missions, so that they can die gloriously instead of Transformed into a brainless, bloodthirsty beast and executed.
"You have two Terra days, Katos. Just because I allow your behavior does not mean that I allow you to interfere with the progress of my plan."
The boy said calmly as he watched the Lamenters warriors send gene seeds and modified organs into the Bronze City.
"Understood, Your Majesty. I just...want to provide some support to my brothers within my ability." Lu Mingfei quickly bowed his head and saluted, promising that he would never act recklessly.
The boy nodded lightly, turned around and walked into the Bronze City under the escort of Holy Lenno.
The Weeper was asked to stay outside, a little discouraged but also very happy because he finally had the opportunity to reconnect with the former Chapter Champion who had been miraculously "resurrected" and became the Emperor's Saint.
Almost every soldier gave Lu Mingfei a reunion hug, and sincerely expressed their hope that the Chapter Master would be like him and be resurrected on a certain planet to continue fighting for the Emperor.
"If we really encounter this kind of thing in that universe...it will only be a conspiracy of the devil."
Lu Mingfei thought sadly. He did not explain much about the reasons for his "resurrection" and the existence of his hometown, which may involve the Emperor's secret plan.
In conversations with his former brothers, he learned about the current situation of the Chapter: the replacement of the Astartes warriors could not keep up with the Chapter's attrition, the recovery rate of seeds when rescuing mortals from the Zerg aliens was low, and how many A brother was swallowed up by the "Black Fury", and supplies, equipment and ammunition began to be stretched again...
Doom and darkness still entangle the Lamenters Chapter... Or rather, the universe is sinking into darkness, no one can be spared, and all the Emperor's warriors are struggling for hope and salvation.
Now Lu Mingfei can't change the current situation of the chapter, and he only has one and a half days; and His Majesty the Emperor made it clear that the memory of the Lamenters will be wiped before they leave, and he wants the Lamenters to use the Emperor's "light" to go The idea of asking the Adeptus Mechanicus to replenish supplies also came to nothing.
I can only relax the brothers' bodies and minds as much as possible during these two days - for example, the scenery in my hometown is still very good, it should be comparable to the "Garden World" in the universe.
"How about I go back to the college and tell the cafeteria to prepare it first, and then, leader, you take these tough guys back for dinner and greet them properly? I'm familiar with this!"
At this time, Fingel came up and whispered in his ear.
Lu Mingfei's eyes lit up. This was a good idea. The clean and unpolluted delicious food from his hometown would probably heal the brothers' mood.
At least he was a little shocked when he ate the food cooked by his aunt when he first returned to his hometown. It was the kind of delicious food that couldn't be compared with energy bars and Astartes nutritional porridge.
…
On the underground floor of the Holy Blood Hall of Kassel College, Vice Principal Flamel, who had been hesitating back and forth anxiously, saw the alchemical matrix on the ground light up on its own.
His expression suddenly changed, as if he was facing a formidable enemy. Just when he was about to ask Eva to sound the highest warning and then run away, two familiar figures appeared from the light of the teleportation array.
Chu Zihang and Fingel, both of them carried a man covered in white cloth and walked out of the teleportation array.
"You won? Did you kill the Dragon King and some other demon?" The vice-principal was surprised and happy, and the appearance of the two elite students didn't show any signs of embarrassment.
"That's right." Chu Zihang replied simply.
"Isn't this your humanoid Norton? You captured him alive? That's awesome!" The vice-principal looked around, "Who is your grand leader? And where are your Gundams?"
"Don't stand here talking nonsense, it hurts your back, old pervert," Fingel said angrily, "Hurry up and use your authority to ask the canteen to prepare good wine and food for a thousand people, and then go purchase it. Food supplies for a hundred thousand people are sent here. By the way, it’s best to go to the Chicago Hospital to get hundreds of liters of fresh blood, preferably type O pure blood, not mixed blood.”
"You surrendered to the Dragon Clan on behalf of Kassel College?" The vice-principal's eyes widened in shock, "You scum who sells people for glory!"
"?" Fingel looked confused.
"Otherwise, why are you preparing so many dishes? Even if your captain and Angers eat at the same table, it doesn't require as many as 100,000 people! And the blood..." the vice-principal shouted.
But then his mouth could not be closed, because the light of the teleportation matrix lit up again, and Lu Mingfei and a tall warrior wearing heavy armor appeared from it.
The vice-principal immediately felt a cold gaze coming from the scarlet helmet eyepiece of the other party, looking at him, and then softened.
Before he could ask first, Lu Mingfei spoke first: "This priest brother and I are going to treat Principal Angers. Please ask the vice principal to drive away the irrelevant people there and prepare a quiet environment."
