Chapter 907: Subjugating the Blood Angels
Dante certainly had reason to have mixed feelings.
What were they talking about? They were talking about the fate of Holy Terra and the entire human empire, about how to send a huge army directly across half of the empire to the capital, and about how two huge political entities could carry out strategic cooperation that spanned almost the entire empire...
And what is he doing?
He, the man known as the 'legendary hero', was trapped in the star field of his home planet, and was driven to death by a Zerg invasion.
The difference between the two is really huge.
He was still wondering if Gu Hang had used his psychic power to trick him...
Some people feel like they are surrounded by the vast sea of stars while they are just playing around in the petty cramps.
But when he thought of this, he couldn't help but wonder if it was a scam?
Seeing Gu Hang's gaze turned to him, Dante said in a complicated tone: "Your grand plan sounds too unreal."
It has a slightly sarcastic meaning.
Gu Hang said bluntly: "Do you think all this is fake, a scam?"
Dante was a little caught off guard, and then felt a little embarrassed and annoyed.
This is a feeling of shame when the dark side of one's heart is suddenly revealed to the surface.
In Dante's 1,500 years of life, he had very few experiences like this.
But he quickly adjusted his state and maintained a tough attitude: "I didn't come to such a conclusion, but this matter is too incredible, don't you think?"
"Okay, I can explain two sentences to you, just two sentences."
Gu Hang raised a finger to him and said, "First, deception would not be carried out by doing something so outrageous and easily verified. You will soon be able to find out from various channels whether the resurrection of the Son of God is true or false."
Dante remained silent on Gu Hang's first explanation.
He could think of these things, but he still felt that the surprise was a little unacceptable, but in fact, he had already believed it for the most part.
The second point that Gu Hang said left him even more speechless.
Gu Hang raised his second finger and said, "Second, neither the Blood Angels nor you, the hero of the Empire, are worth being deceived."
…
Dante returned to his command post, feeling somewhat dazed.
The men from the Crimson Scythe were gone, and only his closest battle-brothers were here.
Seeing the state of the Chapter Leader, everyone was a little worried.
I am worried about both his mentality and his body.
At the same time, they were all a little uneasy.
The fighting power displayed by the descending alliance was astonishing. Their huge military strength and the strength of their elite forces were far beyond the imagination of the Blood Angels. They had already fought to exhaustion and were about to be defeated, but the alliance that arrived destroyed the Zerg swarm like a whirlwind.
Although the Zerg had been exhausted in the previous battle with them, it was still a strong army, but it was destroyed in the end...
On the other hand, the Blood Angels and their successors were about to be wiped out by the remnants of the Zerg army, let alone the Alliance.
Wouldn’t the gap between the Blood Angels’ current strength and that of the Alliance be even greater?
Moreover, there is no need to be dissatisfied and think that the Alliance is strong now and is taking advantage of the situation. Even when the Blood Angels were at their peak, 21,000 Space Marines were still a little less than the Alliance's Southern Front Army. Not to mention, the Southern Front Army was ahead of them in terms of conventional army units, naval fleet size, and logistics.
If it were the Alliance's southern expeditionary force that was fighting the Zerg army that almost destroyed their home planet, the victorious side would undoubtedly be the Alliance.
And this is not the entire strength of the southern expeditionary force. They still have at least half of their forces, operating in the surrounding space in the form of a detachment fleet; this is not the entire strength of the alliance. In comparison, the eastern expeditionary force is no worse than the southern one, and the western front is the direction that the alliance attaches the most importance to. Not to mention, the alliance's homeland still has sufficient strength...
This contrast made the Blood Angels feel as if they were facing pressure from the center of the empire.
Under the overwhelming power of the Alliance, under their own weakness, with Dante in a coma and on the verge of death, almost beyond rescue, and only the special technology of the Alliance could save their Chapter Master...
In short, a variety of factors together led to the Blood Angels handing over the Hades Star Region to the Alliance without any resistance. They had defended it for many years and suffered eight out of ten casualties.
This is also the reason why Gu Hang said to Dante, "You are not worth being deceived."
That's the reason.
What's so good about the Blood Angels?
Even Dante himself couldn't figure it out.
The star territory he guarded has now been taken over by the Alliance in an orderly manner; the mortal soldiers who fought for the star field have been recruited and screened. Those with good quality and personal willingness have been reorganized into the Alliance Army sequence. The vast majority of those with poor quality or who do not want to serve in the army are given some money and a commemorative medal for the defense of the Hades Star Field, allowing the soldiers to retire and return to civilian life, which is enough to awaken and inspire them.
When determining the rank of the alliance after fighting, it will not be too low, and it is guaranteed according to the military rank. Not to mention, the alliance's military medals and commemorative medals are not just honors. The honor of the alliance is very valuable, and allowances will be paid directly according to the honor level itself. Unless the honor is deprived due to crimes or other reasons, this allowance will be paid for life.
These people have received money and have expectations for a better life in the future. Do you want to call them back to fight?
Dream on.
These soldiers were able to fight bravely before because the hive invaded their homeland. The Blood Angels led them to hold on, and they were grateful and convinced, but the Alliance also saved them at the last moment. In addition, the Alliance further promised to rebuild their homes and give them a better life. The Alliance also has the legitimacy of the Dark Expedition, the Imperial High Lords, and the Dark Archons. With all these added together, how can the Blood Angels afford to instigate mortal troops to fight against the Alliance?
Impossible.
Not only the mortal soldiers, but also the Blood Angels' sub-groups are the same.
Before the Alliance came, each sub-group had already made plans to die together with the mother group and the mother planet. After the Alliance came, they were saved, and at the same time, they also fulfilled their obligations to the mother planet.
The mother planet has not fallen into the hands of aliens and has not been devoured by the Zerg and turned into a dead world. Isn’t that enough?
The reason why the Blood Angels were able to gather so many sub-groups together, in addition to their appeal as a parent group, is their natural duty to protect the mother planet.
Now that this responsibility has ended, the appeal of the parent group alone is not enough to keep so many chapters together.
If this continues, what does the Mother Chapter want to do? Rebuild the Legion? Violate the Space Marine Code?
That won't work.
Not to mention that there are some sub-groups that have a mediocre relationship with the parent group, or even have conflicts with it. Even those who have a good relationship with the parent group will have some complaints in their hearts.
Each regiment should have gone back to their own place, and then slowly licked their wounds and recovered themselves according to the huge losses they suffered in this battle. It was unknown how many years it would take. There were even many regiments that were beaten down to only one company, or even a company that was not fully staffed. It was very likely that they would not be able to recover in the long years and would completely die.
I can give all this for the sake of my mother planet.
Going against the Alliance for no reason just for the sake of the parent group? That's not okay.
What's more, the alliance also gave them many conditions that made them extremely excited during this process.
Dante was unconscious, but not all other chapter leaders or those who were in charge of the chapter were unconscious. During this process, many Blood Angels chapters had reached a number of agreements with the Alliance.
The performance of the entire Dark Side Expedition of the Alliance is indeed very attractive. They have pacified more than 100,000 worlds, 40% of the territory of the entire Dark Side of the Empire. This cause is already extremely glorious, but it is only the beginning. The Dark Side Expedition of the Alliance will continue, with the goal of recovering the entire Dark Side of the Empire. At the same time, the Alliance's Western Front Expeditionary Force also crossed the Scarlet Scar and went to the Holy Border of the Empire, with the goal of supporting Holy Terra!
How attractive is this to the Space Marines who crave honor and claim to be the most loyal to the Emperor and the Empire?
Bigger than anything else!
If each chapter had not been so badly weakened, everyone would have long been clamoring to follow the Alliance fleet, to go on an expedition, to seize glory, to save the Empire, and to pledge their loyalty to the Emperor.
What? The Alliance has a complete set of Space Marine management methods that can help the chapter quickly recover from the brink of extinction?
Half of the regiments agreed immediately.
Among the remaining half of the regiments, more than half agreed after learning carefully that the so-called new blood training center could recruit people from their home planet and train them according to the regiment culture.
As for the most worrying issue of the 'Original Cast' transformation, there is also a solution.
First of all, the Primaris transformation has been first applied to their honorable legendary hero of the Empire, Dante, the commander of the Blood Angels Chapter.
Secondly, the Primaris transformation has been endorsed by the Son of God. It is a technology developed by the Great Sage of Mars, Cawl, and has been applied in the Infinite Star Field and among the Infinite Warriors. There are no adverse reactions, and it is a comprehensive enhancement.
Finally, the new blood of the chapter needs to be trained and whether it is necessary to undergo Primaris transformation. Although the Alliance strongly recommends that it should be done, if the original chapter is really unwilling to do so, it is not necessary to transform the seeds and directly use the old version of the seeds.
These three points can greatly dispel the concerns of many war groups.
Of course, there are still some individual regiments that are particularly distrustful, or are waiting for the parent group to make a statement.
But it no longer affects the overall situation.
Even within the Blood Angels, there is a powerful voice that believes that they should join the Alliance's dark expedition.
Accept the jurisdiction of the Space Marine Management Association?
This is a little bit uncomfortable.
We are a startup group with a high political status. We have always been independent. Why do we now have an additional management association above us?
However, when they heard that the Saints Chapter, which was also one of the founding chapters and was in much better condition than them, unlike the Blood Angels who were crippled and had their home planet in tatters, had also joined the management association, the Blood Angels' resistance faded a little.
Of course, Dante's reputation within the Blood Angels is still grand enough.
His decision is the most crucial effect. As long as he says no, and says he doesn't want to follow the Alliance, then the Blood Angels will stand firmly on the side of their Chapter Leader. Unless the Emperor or the Gene Father is resurrected, no one can change this.
However, before Dante makes a decision, everyone naturally has the right to speak freely.
After being 'forced' to undergo the Primaris surgery to save his life, Dante, dragging his body that was still being repaired, met with the brothers who survived the brutal battle one by one. After fully listening to their opinions, he finally made a decision.
Perhaps, this decision was also his own.
After he listened to the conversation between Gu Hang and Robert, he actually already had an inclination.
…
Gu Hang was not really as he told Dante that he had no demands on the Blood Angels.
He was asking for something.
However, Dante could not get the information of the system panel and the battle group interface. Therefore, no matter how smart he was, he could not make a correct guess.
But it doesn’t matter whether you make the right guess or not, as long as you can make the right decision.
It was the right decision for the Blood Angels to join the Alliance and become a member of the Space Marine Governing Association.
This is true both for the Blood Angels themselves and for all of humanity.
And on Gu Hang's legion interface, the Blood Angel Legion option appeared again.
Fifty thousand places are available.
Five thousand places for the Glory Guard were also obtained. The Blood Angels' Glory Guard was called the Holy Blood Guard.
Gu Hang was very satisfied with this.
Afterwards, the Blood Angels will recover their combat effectiveness quickly and visibly.
There were a total of twenty-one Blood Angels who had surrendered. After Gu Hang replenished their troops, and subtracted the Blood Angels seeds that had been used up before, such as the Crimson Scythe Blade, he could establish another twenty-three regiments.
The number of Holy Blood Guards can support five super elite regiments.
After reaching 50,000, you can carry out regular operations on this basis and make breakthroughs in the future.
However, the Saints should be easier to operate since their gene seeds have a high degree of adaptability.
The Blood Angels were not easy to operate. During the peak of the Legion era, their number was estimated to be less than 100,000, and their genetic compatibility was relatively low. But with the help of Gu Hang in selecting new recruits, as long as the seeds were born quickly, it would be better than before.
In short, after Gu Hang digests the benefits brought by the Blood Angels Legion, the scale of Space Marines directly controlled by the Alliance will be able to reach nearly 200,000.
