Chapter 46 44 Granting Armor and Casting Master
Chapter 46 44. Armoring, and the Forging Master
Endurance, Space Marine Armor Room.
Now.
.
A dim room, with dim candlelight gathered in the center of the room.
Blanca led Hades in, and Hades' tall stature was a little abrupt in the room.
The veteran led Hades to the low platform surrounded by candles.
Just now, Hades had been asked to wear the heavy black lining of bionic polymer armor, and was also asked to remember a sentence.
However, Hades had no idea what this High Gothic sentence meant, and was only asked to say this sentence at the end.
At least explain to him what this sentence means?
This feels like signing a contract to sell yourself? !
Ga Luo looked at Hades in the dark room, and he could smell a slight nervous breath in the sweat of this recruit.
Tsk.
Ga Luo still had certain expectations for this recruit who would fight with the Primarch in the end.
He hoped he was not wrong.
Enrique, the forging master of the Seventh Company, came in, followed by a technical sergeant.
Wearing MK3 power armor, the countless serving arms on the power backpack on his back trembled slightly as the forging master walked.
The technical sergeant walked to Blanca's side, and after a while, he led Hades to recite the oath of loyalty.
Generally speaking, the armor-granting ceremony of a new soldier would be led by the mechanical sage of the Mechanicus to recite the oath of loyalty, but now is the transition period of the legion, a large number of new soldiers have entered the army, and the mechanical sage is also responsible for the equipment supply of the legion, so this work has been simplified, and then it is done by the technical sergeants of each company.
Enrique came directly to Garo, and the two stopped in the dark, waiting for Hades' armor-granting ceremony.
In Garo's helmet, a burst of electric current sounded through the personal communication channel.
Enrique's voice sounded, low Gothic language was low and clear,
"Blanca didn't explain the oath to this recruit."
Galo's eyes were still on Hades in the center of the room, and the light of candles flickered on the black armor lining.
"You like him."
This is an affirmative sentence, not a question sentence, Garo's calm and steady voice sounded.
Enrique would not say something that seemed to explain for a recruit.
The voice in the channel hesitated for a moment and sounded again.
"I went to Barbarus with my colleagues in other companies to collect their technology."
"This recruit. Not only is he the one who accompanied the original body to the summit in the end, but he also designed the armor on them."
The commendable technical level is not only the reasonable armor structure, but also the fiber of a local fern plant is appropriately mixed into the ceramic steel with special technology to increase the overall toughness of the armor.
Enrique still remembers the expressions of the casting masters when they saw the sample of this armor and the detailed and precise draft.
They thought it was the technology left over from the planet. Although this design was far behind the current technology of the Empire, it can be seen from the economic structure of Barbarus that the local people did not have the possibility to develop such equipment by themselves.
But later it was discovered that it was designed by a local Death Guard rebel.
What surprised Enrique even more was that the designer of this armor was the only two new recruits in his company.
He didn't know that Garro would give him such a big gift.
In fact, to be fair, the doctrine followed by the Mechanicus is to reproduce the "original appearance of machinery" that originally existed in the universe according to the wisdom of the God of All Machines.
They are not creating, they are just inspired by the God of All Machines to restore the original appearance of these equipment.
Bold innovation and transformation are not allowed, which is an evil blasphemy.
But. There is always a little distance between ideal and reality.
Compared to the mechanical sages who sang hymns in the foundry, there were always too many unexpected and variable things on the battlefield with the roar of artillery fire.
Suppose you now have a Predator tank and a Predator tank with scrapped tracks and completely unusable.
Then, your squadron was asked to capture a barrier at a narrow pass.
At this time, as a technical sergeant of the squadron, would you remove the turret on the almost scrapped tank and install it on another one? Or not on it?
It would definitely be installed on it.
But this falls into the range of "blasphemy".
This led to the technical sergeants in the legion not having a good reputation in the Mechanicus.
And Enrique has been following up and analyzing the strategic preferences of the Primarch Mortarion during this period.
The casting masters and technical sergeants of the Death Guard found that Mortarion preferred to deploy infantry rather than the large-scale use of armored vehicles and transport vehicles.
This means that within the Death Guard, the status of the technical sergeants, who are already marginalized due to their belief in the Mechanicus, will be further diluted.
At this time, a new recruit who was very talented in mechanical research and was rumored to have a good relationship with Mortarion appeared in front of the casting master Enrique.
Even if he had a little flaw in his desire for creativity, it was completely harmless.
Galo's voice interrupted Enrique's thinking,
"During the recruit training period, don't disturb him."
Red lights of various equipment on Enrique's body flashed,
"I know this."
The low and powerful words of the technical sergeant broke the silence in the room.
Hades stood on a low platform surrounded by candles, and the heavy armor was assembled on Hades piece by piece by the mechanical servants.
"Hades from Barbarus."
The technical sergeant said in a complex and gorgeous High Gothic language,
"In the name of Mortarion and the Emperor."
"Are you willing to be his silent warrior?"
"Are you willing to be his unbreakable blade?"
"Are you willing to give everything for the Empire?"
The last piece of armor was assembled as this sentence fell, and two servitors walked in slowly with incendiary guns in their hands.
In the shadows, Garro and Enrique looked at the figure on the low platform.
"For the Emperor."
The voice with a Barbarus accent read out his oath vaguely.
Happy reading (ω)
