"Boss, help me put a bag of sugar and six bags of A2 feed in the car."
"Okay, wait a moment."
When the store owner who was looking at the screen heard the sound in the cab of the truck parked in front of the store, he quickly slid down from his chair, waved the fan in his hand, and shouted not far away with his bloated legs.
"You two little beasts, stop being lazy! Come here and move things!"
After two fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys who were looking at the data tablet heard their father scolding them, they muttered, put down the data tablet, reluctantly pushed the cart and ran to the warehouse with their father.
At this time, a burst of exciting music suddenly sounded from the small screen hanging on the wooden wall, attracting the attention of the driver who was playing with the small fan on the front of the car.
The screen background, which was originally green, suddenly turned blue, with a golden Imperial Sky Eagle emblem appearing in the middle.
Then the scene turned to the surface of a beautiful planet. In the distance, a sun was slowly rising from the shadow of the planet. At the same time, a male voice with a deep voice appeared.
"Kermanshah, our home."
The next second the camera switched to Kermanshah's determined capital city of the planet, Meritorious City. When the warm sunshine swept across the land, it reflected neat and clean streets, brand-new houses, busy transportation, and a smiling spirit.
A cheerful pedestrian with a cheerful look.
"Prosperity, order..."
A man in work uniform smiled and waved to the priest in front of the splendid church, then turned around to reveal his handsome and upright face and the Skyhawk pendant hanging on his chest.
"Faith, this is the right way for us to survive."
The man walked to a house, where a beautiful woman was playing with her child. The man smiled warmly and stretched out his hand.
"But survival...has its price."
waaaangh!
Amid the roar of the beast, a very realistic green skin jumped out of the grass nearby, brandishing an axe, and then the woman and child began to scream, while the man knelt on the ground and roared in disbelief:
"No...the sacred radiance of the throne, no-"
The moment blood splashed on him, the picture froze——
【aggression】
A line of eye-catching large characters appeared in the center of the screen, reflecting the man's disbelieving and desperate face.
"Wow, is it so exaggerated..."
The driver exclaimed and slowly rolled down the window.
"Haha, does it look familiar?"
After a moment, the man walked into the screen from outside the 'screen' with a smile on his face.
"Such a scene is happening all over the galaxy at this moment, and you may be next."
The man then pointed to the audience in front of the screen.
"Unless you can make the most important decision of your life!"
The man raised his left hand and snapped his fingers.
In an instant, he had a set of red and black armor that was completely different from the Astra Militarum, and a burst of impassioned music sounded.
"Prove to everyone that you have the strength and courage to defend your survival and beliefs."
He reached out, took a pointed helmet with a silver mask from outside the screen, and put it on his head.
"join in..."
The screen cuts to a planet where huge battleships are bombing the surface of the planet and dropping many airdrop pods and Valkyrie transport aircraft.
"...Pashtiban ranks!"
On the chaotic battlefield, a soldier carrying a spear-like weapon was half-kneeling on the ground holding a plasma weapon. Two soldiers behind him were using spears to stab the greenskin who was lying on the ground and roaring.
"Become the elite of the Chapter Auxiliary!"
The scene changed, and a huge tank rumbled past the charging infantry, then stopped and fired at the enemy that looked like giant insects, blasting the opponent into bloody pieces.
"Destroy all inhuman enemies."
The soldiers held the flag and planted it on the hill where the enemy corpses were piled up.
"Let the glory of the throne illuminate the entire galaxy under the leadership of a great man from heaven."
On a battlefield littered with corpses, soldiers formed a square formation and saluted a huge portrait. It was an Astartes wearing golden armor with his arms folded and slightly looking up at the golden sun diagonally above. No one would fail to recognize him.
Soshyan Alexei.
"Be a hero!"
"Become a legend!"
The final scene is of soldiers standing on a high hill, with a huge Titan slowly walking past in the background, the outline of a huge battleship hanging in the sky, and an airdrop pod falling like a meteor shower.
“Become a Pushban!”
"Brother Hayes, pretend it's ready!"
Hearing the boss's words, the one-eyed pilot was slightly startled, then took out a few promethium coins from his pocket and handed them over through the window.
"Trouble."
"It should be, it should be. Just wait a moment and I'll give you some money."
"No, just remember it for now, and we can count it together next time."
"That's okay. It's hot today. Brother, why don't you have a glass of cold beer? Don't worry, the alcohol content will be very low."
Hayes smiled and took the paper cup from the boss.
"Thank you."
After drinking, he started the truck and started walking through the town along the newly repaired road under the scorching sun. During this period, he saw many people in uniforms distributing leaflets, one of which was even stuffed into his cab. Sure enough, it was still
Conscription propaganda.
After leaving the town, he entered a vast plain. This is a fertile land with rivers, forests, and more endless farmland. There are even huge bubble-shaped three-dimensional farms. They look like huge trees in the sun.
water drops, but they are the property of the Adeptus Mechanicus and are used to grow certain special economic crops.
Farther away, at the end of the horizon, you can faintly see the gleam of the towering interstellar airport spire. It is also the city where the division headquarters is located. It is already quite large, but it is not as crowded as the hive city.
He could actually choose to settle there, but it was probably his past experiences that made him tired of the noisy city and chose to live on a farm in the countryside.
He now belongs to the 4th Brigade of the 2nd Battalion, 1st Company, 73rd Regiment of the 13th Division in Kermanshah, and serves as the battalion captain.
The regiment he belongs to is an "agricultural regiment" with a population of more than 30,000, six companies, and more than 30 public affairs units of various types, including 31 comprehensive farms, 11 pastures, 4 forest farms, etc.
There are many industries, and there is also a standing militia of 1,500 people. However, because it is a system where all people are soldiers, all adult men and women must undergo regular military training, such as shooting, bombing, and even laying landmines.
Hayes was not only the captain, but also the company commander of the militia regiment. This was because he easily defeated most of his competitors in the initial military skills assessment.
More than an hour later, the truck entered a village, where there were rows of neatly arranged houses with red roofs and white walls, chapels, hospitals, shops and many other facilities, as well as several huge warehouses and a huge machinery repair shop.
The automatic water tower stands on the east side of the village, continuously pumping clean water from the ground to provide the residents here.
When passersby see this car, they will wave to him. There are more than two hundred men and women living here, including the veterans who followed Hayes out of the hive. For example, Kang is now the chaplain of the company and presides over the small
church.
Parking the car at the door of the church, Hayes opened the car door and got out, and said loudly:
"Kang!"
"I'm coming."
Kang, who was wearing a white vest and black pants, revealing a mechanical prosthetic leg on his right leg and a hairy left leg, opened the door. When he saw Hayes, he inserted the cattail leaf fan in his back and walked over.
"Hayes, you're back. You said the weather is so hot. The thermostat you ordered hasn't arrived yet."
"Now, I heard that the airport is operating at full capacity. A lot of things are piled in the warehouse and cannot be delivered. Let's wait. If not, I will drive to pick them up in person one day."
With that said, Hayes opened the trunk, pulled out the bag of candy from the pile of things, and carried it in front of Kang.
