Chapter 766: Blood Shark Regained His Heart
The biggest benefit that the system's recognition of the Spear of the Dragon King brought to Gu Hang was that he had an additional exchange limit of 2,000 gene seeds.
Every regiment recognized by the system and obeying Gu Hang's orders will provide Gu Hang with a maximum of two thousand gene seeds.
No matter what the channel for producing the seeds is, whether they are exchanged by him or split by the existing Space Marines themselves, in short, as long as the number of this type of seeds reaches or exceeds two thousand, Gu Hang can no longer exchange for new ones - he can exceed it by splitting himself.
The gene seed of the Dragon King's Spear is called the 'Dragon Legion Gene Seed'. It is not inferior, but it is not like the Phoenix, and it has been renamed because of some differences from the parent group's Phoenix Seed.
After all, their army was established not long ago.
But this is not a bad thing, Dragon Seeds are pretty good.
The Dragon Seeds, the Spear of the Dragon King itself occupies one thousand places, and there are one thousand extra, which means that if Gu Hang wants, he can pull out a new battle group.
But he didn't do it.
A bit unaffordable.
Moreover, as long as there are seeds, he can now quickly spawn Space Marines. As long as he is willing to spend the gift points, he can spawn Space Marines in time when needed.
There is only one remaining regiment, the Blood Sharks, and their situation is the most special.
During the war, they were very good comrades. Historical events showed that this regiment was quite unruly, but in actual contact, it was found that as long as their traditions were fully respected, they were quite good and obeyed orders. There was no case of disobeying military orders. Even if they were asked to participate in more difficult and outstanding battles, they had no complaints.
It doesn't quite match the rumors. I don't know whether the rumors are wrong, or whether the new chapter leader Ewing's reforms of the Blood Sharks are very effective and have changed the atmosphere of the chapter.
Gu Hang tends to think it is the latter.
There is also evidence to support this.
There are quite a few members in the Blood Shark Regiment, and the new recruits who were added later are from the Alliance.
Except for those warbands that have clear requirements for the source of soldiers, those fleet-based warbands that recruit soldiers everywhere can hardly refuse the new blood provided by the Alliance. The reason is that the quality of the Alliance's soldiers is too high, whether it is the success rate of gene seed implantation surgery or the combat effectiveness and future potential shown after growing into formal recruits, all are impeccable.
Even though Ewing was quite intentional at the beginning, and was trying to suppress the new recruits of the Alliance in the group, he still couldn't suppress them because the new recruits of the Alliance performed too well. If they were just a little bit stronger, it would be easy to suppress them; if they were a little bit stronger, they could be suppressed by force; if they were all a little bit stronger, what should they do?
Even if you don't want fairness at all, it's hard to shut up others. Even some veterans of the Blood Shark Army, who admire the new recruits, will stand up for them.
Naturally, these alliance recruits were able to hear a lot of news about Blood Shark’s own upper echelons.
Then, he told the alliance.
Is this disloyal to the warband... These Blood Shark warriors from the Alliance don't think so. They have all been trained as political commissars, and in their hearts, the highest loyalty is to the Alliance, and it has never changed; secondly, they don't think this is bad for the warband. On the contrary, letting the Blood Shark warband fight under the banner of the Alliance is the most loyal in their eyes.
They did things in a relatively secretive manner, never actively trying to find out anything, but would passively hear a lot of news within the group; then, they would use the safest way to spread some news when there was an opportunity, and would not force it when there was no opportunity.
In short, Ewing probably hasn't discovered it yet.
As a result, Gu Hang had a relatively clearer understanding of some of Ewing's ideas.
The Blood Sharks are not completely united. Headed by Chapter Master Ewing, they are actually a group of reformists. It is they who insist that the Chapter should end its thousand-year wandering in the dark Outland. Why should the Chapter not be worthy of walking under the light?
It was too dangerous to be in the Dark Outer Realm. Even though the Blood Sharks had sufficient experience and had lived like this for thousands of years, as long as the situation did not change, it would become increasingly difficult to survive in the future. In fact, the Blood Sharks had not had a full complement for a long time.
His ideas gradually became the mainstream and formed a unity within the party. The conservatives were either purged or gave up the idea of confrontation and followed the crowd.
Now, all those in power at the top of the Blood Shark Chapter, from the Chapter Master to the Director of the Think Tank to the Chief Priest, are reformists.
But there are still a few traditional veterans.
Of course, it didn't cause any waves. At most, they just talked about some things in the past during their usual complaints, when the veterans were conveying the so-called traditions of the chapter to the new recruits from the Alliance.
Just by seeing the tip of the iceberg, Gu Hang understood that all of Ewing's motives came from this - to make the future of the regiment brighter.
It was also because of this that the Blood Sharks were not very honest after the war. They did not reject the conditions offered by the Alliance, but they did not accept them readily either, and their attitude was ambiguous.
In the later stages of the war, they were constantly in contact with various outside forces.
This time when they went to Holy Terra, Ewing himself followed, just to see if there was a better way out outside.
After all, in the Iron Armor War, the combat capability displayed by the Blood Shark was quite powerful. Having proven its worth, it is natural that it can be sold at a high price.
He does have some power and offered a relatively good price to the blood shark.
As far as Gu Hang knew, the person who made the highest bid was none other than Prime Minister Qi Bodu.
A planet with a development level of 3 and a population of 40 billion can serve as the home planet of the Blood Shark.
This price is equivalent to that of the phoenix.
More importantly, the reason why the Phoenix Koroja III was given to the Empire was because Koroja III originally belonged to the Alliance. For the Empire, it was equivalent to rewarding the Alliance's soldiers with the Alliance's things. The actual price paid was just 14 billion in taxes.
But if Blood Shark were to be given an equivalent planet, it would not only be a tax exemption. The entire wealth value of this planet was also very high. Within the Prime Minister's faction, the extra output value of the planet, those bureaucratic seats, and political influence were all transferred to Blood Shark.
The cost cannot be too small.
But it failed to satisfy Ewing's psychological bottom line.
He came here for better treatment for the regiment. Can he feed and even strengthen the Blood Sharks by controlling a planet with an annual tax revenue of 12 billion?
I'm afraid not.
If he accepted this condition, he would have to expand the influence of the chapter like any normal chapter. It would take a long time to establish a sphere of influence centered on the mother planet and radiating across half or even the entire star field. Many of the planets within it would have to pay tribute to the chapter to a certain extent.
Only when this level is achieved can the profit be considered sufficient to meet the requirements of the Blood Shark.
Of course, having a developed planet with an annual tax amount of 12 billion as the mother planet is itself a particularly good starting point on this road.
But compared with the benefits of continuing to follow the alliance, it seems not enough.
The Alliance will give them enough money directly, far more than 12 billion per year, and they don't have to work hard to expand their influence, which might lead to conflicts with other war groups or get involved in various political disputes.
Coupled with the alliance's strong productivity and excellent manpower, the alliance army can directly serve as a friendly force when the war group fights, without having to raise a large auxiliary army...
Taking all these conditions into account, Ewing weighed the pros and cons, and tried again, and found that Qi Bodu had little interest in raising the price - if he added more money, it would be enough for Qi Bodu to directly use his authority to form several new war groups. Why would he have to keep a blood shark like you?
In this situation, Ewing finally made a decision to stop wavering and follow the league honestly.
At this time, the name of the Blood Shark Regiment finally appeared in Gu Hang's system.
That means that Gu Hang has an additional 2,000 Space Marine seeds to exchange.
The gene seed of the Blood Shark Regiment is named "Blood Shark". Like the Phoenix, they have developed independently for a long time and have become somewhat different from the parent group. The quality of their seeds is also very good, at least on the same level as the Phoenix.
Even a little better.
However, their maternal lineage is not just the 'Bat Legion' recorded in the history of their chapter, they also have half of the 'Secret Guard Legion' bloodline.
That was a traitor army.
