"Ricas, are you willing to be an angel and fight for the Emperor?"
Suddenly, a word from the other party exploded in Rikas's ear like thunder, and the tribesmen around him also exclaimed a burst of exclamations.
"I...angel..."
Rikas's little head was completely confused and he couldn't react at all.
"Ricas, answer me, right away."
The other party's voice was irrefutable authority. Ricas's body shook, and then swallowed hissing:
"Is it...going to heaven?"
"No, it's going to hell."
Rikas muttered for a moment, and when he looked up at Soshiyan again, his eyes were less confused.
"I understand, I want me to atone for my sins, right?"
“If you want to understand this, no problem.”
"So, can I ask one last question?"
Looking at the boy kneeling on the ground, whose head was raised and his eyes were squinted, and his brown skin was chapped and peeled by the dry and hot wind, Soshiyang nodded slightly.
"Can."
"What kind of war and demon is needed to be like you...angels."
At this time, an unaware smile appeared on Soshiyang's face.
"The good question, that's... a war that your little head now can never imagine."
After saying that, he looked at the people who were still kneeling on the ground.
"So you need to say goodbye to them?"
"Now..."
Ricas looked down at the teacher's body, then gently placed it on the ground, then came to the leader, knelt down and kowtowed him.
"Please help me bury the teacher. His soul has returned to heaven, and his body should return to the earth."
The leader kept nodding and said tremblingly:
"Li... No, sir, I will bury the chantist. We will spread the miracle of your ascension to heaven today to the earth. You are the first saint to embark on the path of angels. We will build a magnificent altar for you here!"
Ricas was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
"Uh...no need."
After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the huge angel, Soshiyang also turned around and walked towards the Stormbird.
"Sir Angel, what should I call you?"
Hearing the voice of the boy behind him, Soshiyang slowly replied as he stepped into the scorching sunlight:
"Just call me the commander of the battle."
"Captain of the Battle..."
At this time, the people who were still kneeling on the ground began to chant loudly, as if they were witnessing a great miracle. Ricas followed the giants and stepped into the sun. He felt very hot, unprecedented hotness, perhaps more from his inner fear, and everything today seemed like a dream.
Bleeding, death, heaven, angel...
It seemed that everything was so unreasonable and so psychedelic that his life was completely crushed by an invisible big hand, and then pieced together into something he didn't recognize.
When he saw the metal flying dragon up close, Rikas suddenly realized that it might not be life. Although he didn't know what it was, he instinctively felt that this thing was not life, and the dark hole in his abdomen seemed to symbolize the impermanent future of his destiny.
"Captain of the Battle...we are we, where are we going?"
On the boarding ramp, Soshiyan turned around.
"Go to the end of the world."
"What will happen to me? How to become an angel?"
"You will go through a whole new life, but the process is painful. If you are lucky enough to survive, you will see a whole new world, a world of... only war."
After saying that, Soshiyang took off the translator and turned around and walked into the cabin.
Rikas blinked, turned around and looked at the tribe members who were still kneeling on the ground, pulled off the blood-stained robe on his body and threw it into the sky, allowing it to go with the wind, and then stepped into the Stormbird's cabin without looking back.
After patrolling the planet again, the Stormbird returned to the space station in orbit. Then, under the auspices of Soshiyan, the Nysen III conducted the first selection of Astart recruits.
Due to the special environment and social form of the planet, this selection is more experimental. The Knights of the Astrology sent twenty Thunder Eagles to the world's largest city-states. They first communicated with the local Sun Cult. After preliminary genetic and physical examinations, they selected the twenty strongest and healthiest boys from each city. They were the first Astarte candidates for Planet Nesson 3.
Of course, no one can say how many people can survive the transformation in the end. After all, the existing data comes from candidates for planets that have been recruited many times. Although they are all humans, the genetic differences between humans and humans in the empire are sometimes astonishingly large. Genetic differences caused by completely different environments often become the decisive factor in determining the success rate of the modification surgery.
After recruiting 401 candidates, Soshyan left a frigate and some flight vehicles for Nassen III. After that, this place was managed by Andal and his Tiger Claws for a long time - it was said to be a battle group, but there was only one battle group leader and a think tank in the battle group, and it was a real bare commander. He was still poor when Soshyan took over the battle group.
Although in principle, Valer, as a former Star Claw pharmacist, should also be a Tiger Claw, the Badabu War broke out shortly after he became Astart. He had basically no feelings for the Star Claws, and had never seen Andal who left the battle group early and went to the Death Watch, otherwise he would not have run away with Talos.
Andal had talked with Valier alone for a long time, and it was impossible to say that the two sides parted in disagreement, but at least in terms of the result, Valier did not choose to return to the Tiger Claws immediately. However, he also told Soshiyan that he would assist the Tiger Claws in the transformation of the recruits. It would definitely not work on him alone. The recruits recruited by the Tiger Claws still have to be transformed by the Astral Knight's pharmacist team for the time being.
As for the future...
No one can tell the future. Andal felt that Valer would eventually return to Tiger Claws. After he transformed a group of tiger claws, he would eventually recognize his bloodline.
Soshiyan agrees with this, but Valer also knows too many secrets of the Astral Knights and the Immortal Army. If he is really allowed to leave, will there be new variables in the future?
After all, things will change, and people will change, which is something Soshiyan has to consider.
Maybe it would be better to leave this matter to Talos to solve.
After finishing his journey to Nyesen III, Soshyan ordered a transport ship to Nyesen IV, and he took the flagship to Nyesen II and One for inspection.
