Dude was shouting something to Oscar, but his voice was drowned in the scream.
A huge flying beast hovered in the air, its huge body even blocking the sun in the sky. The terrifying screams filled the ears of the students and servants, and the hot and bitter smell was unbearable.
The strong downdrafts blew off leaves and bent branches, causing heavy damage to these big trees.
Dade looked up, his eyes following the "big bird".
At this moment, the belly of the beast hovering in mid-air suddenly lit up with an evil blue light, causing him to close his eyes involuntarily. The roar was deafening, somewhat similar to the sound of metal scraping.
The scene was noisy and chaotic, with howling wind and harsh noise.
Only Oscar could clearly see the shape of the incoming man. His whole body was silvery gray like stardust, he was fully armed, and fire was spitting out from behind.
He protected his eyes and said:
"The great and terrible angel, with wings of light and fire."
The first angel landed with a crash, carrying flames, and the huge movement made Oscar's heart beat fast.
This angel is huge, wearing heavy armor, and is fully armed.
However, the details of various parts were obscured by the smoke splashed during landing, making them somewhat blurry.
Other angels landed one after another, and a total of 11 huge giants stood in front of the students.
The terrifying air turbulence ejected by the large flying beasts dissipated as the giants arrived, seemingly leaving after completing their mission.
The clearing suddenly fell into silence, with only the sound of the waterfall echoing.
There is a feeling of awe lingering in all mortals. It seems that something they did not want to believe or dare not believe before suddenly becomes a real fact, making it difficult for them to control themselves.
The first giant was taking off his helmet, and Oscar discovered that the swords of the giants were almost the same style as the one in his hand, except that the size was much larger.
As the sealed air leaked out, the giant took off his helmet, revealing an amazing human face.
His face is wider and bigger than ordinary people, and he can be called handsome and brave, but his dark eyes make people feel a little uncomfortable.
When he looked at Oscar, he suddenly showed an unexplainable smile.
The strange thing is that Oscar did not feel fear. When he saw the giant's face, the doubts in his heart disappeared inadvertently.
"I am Soshyan Alexei."
The giant spoke first, his voice was low and magnetic, and then he pointed at the giants behind him.
"We are the Astral Knights!"
"Astral Knight?"
Oscar almost whispered:
"Are you really the Astral Knights?"
Soshyan nodded meaningfully.
"Of course, we are back."
What happened in the next few weeks was dizzying and eye-opening for those present.
No matter what standard you use to describe it, this is the most impressive period in the entire history of Ness. IV.
Even a strange rebellion in the Storm Star Territory is nothing compared to the return of the Astral Knight.
An hour after the Astral Knight's Thunderhawk appeared in the skies of Somus, the news spread throughout the hive like spreading wildfire.
Soon, everyone knew that the angel they worshiped had returned, and the new Chapter Master was from Soames.
Of course, along with the good news comes bad news.
It's just that this bad news was only known to the top management of the hive and a few people - the Star Knights had indeed suffered heavy losses in a war with aliens, or it would be fair to say that the entire army was annihilated.
Now there are less than thirty warriors left in the entire battle group.
But this news is destined not to be understood by most people. All they know is one thing.
Screening of Space Marines has resumed.
It turns out that Oscar is not the only one who is eagerly anticipating the angel's arrival.
Since the date and criteria for the selection were set, the news has detonated the entire hive circle, and even the entire planet.
The most important thing is that the screening standards have been lowered. They are no longer limited to one aristocratic school in Soames. In fact, all graduates of the aristocratic schools in the hive city of Naisen No. 4 can participate, as long as they are under fifteen years old.
the following.
This is good news for most people, especially given the long tradition of Soames Noble College occupying screening places.
Many colleges have seen opportunities. Once they can provide better candidates, they will have the opportunity to surpass this ancient college in the future.
But for graduates of Soames Noble Academy, their competitive pressure has doubled.
In the past they only had to compete with their classmates, but now they need to face people from other colleges.
Although they outwardly show contempt for other "junk" schools, no one will really take it lightly - there is only one chance to become an Astartes.
"Drink! Ha!"
The training ground of Soames Noble Academy echoes with the sound of weapons clashing every day, as graduates undergo arduous training under the supervision of instructors.
Since the selection date was decided, the academy's leadership has been patrolling the training ground every day, working with the school's martial arts instructors to measure and evaluate everyone's military skills and physical fitness.
They are determined to come up with the most genuine candidates.
The graduates realized for the first time what hell is.
During this time, their skin rarely gets dry.
"Huh...huh..."
Oscar panted violently. He had played three games today, his whole body was dripping with sweat, and his muscles were so sore.
He and his brother have completed all today's training items. They have consumed more physical energy than he has in the past week, and their endurance has reached its limit.
"These trainings are too urgent and difficult!"
Dade couldn't stop complaining.
"I even suspect they want to kill us."
Oscar squeezed his lungs hard, and then took a big breath, using this deep breathing method to relieve the burning feeling in his chest.
"If becoming an Astartes had to go through all this, I'm not sure I could survive."
"Then just give up."
After a short rest, Oscar straightened his body and did a few more stretching exercises.
"I'm going to run a few more laps. Do you want to compete with me?"
"no problem!"
Dude jumped up.
Although the training ground was filled with many graduates, Oscar noticed that most of them were young, and he and Dade could already be regarded as the "oldest" people in the crowd.
The college obviously brought in some non-graduates in order to increase the chance of selection. He didn't know what impact this would have on the results of the primary election.
As each day passes, fewer and fewer people are eligible to participate in the primaries, and only the strongest and most dedicated make it to the next stage of selection.
Of course, the results of the selection are absolutely confidential, and many people think they are ranked high in the competition.
Oscar was massaging his thighs, soothing and stretching the sore muscles, trying to get rid of the fatigue caused by the previous training.
"Are you ready?"
Dude asked rhetorically, wanting to break his brother's bluff.
But his brother couldn't let him do so. He just nodded and shook the sweat from his hair.
"let's start."
Oscar adjusted a rhythm that made him comfortable.
