Warhammer 40: Doom

Chapter 337 The trial begins

Doom concealed the connection.

Compared to the Astartes of his youth, the legendary warrior who has lived for hundreds of years may refuse the implantation of the gene seed due to his inner beliefs.

Elderly warriors would not hesitate to face death, but the moral shame of having to acknowledge someone hundreds of years younger than them as their father is something they find difficult to overcome.

Amidst Doom's embarrassed and apologetic expression, thirty-one more mind links appeared in succession, bringing the total number of warriors reborn to thirty-two, including Astram.

In terms of results alone, it far exceeded his expected bottom line.

Legendary warriors survived countless brushes with death, transforming themselves through unwavering willpower and an insatiable passion.

Doom finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As the reborn warriors emerged one by one, the Medical Temple Square was filled with both joy and sorrow.

Not seeing any familiar figures, the grieving crowd, having lost their loved ones, trembled as they entered the hall to collect the remaining ashes from the operating table.

Doom lowered his head, closed his eyes, and murmured softly as his lips moved slightly.

As he led the chanting, the new soldiers and the crowd followed suit, their low murmurs coalescing into an ethereal lament, offering blessings to the dead.

Nearly three thousand veterans bravely sacrificed their lives. Although their skills have been passed down, much of their valuable experience and wisdom will be lost forever with their passing.

This is an extremely heavy loss for Nur and the Night Guard.

After the mourning period, Doom instructed Hippocrates to lead the legendary warriors away for a physical examination, to register their medical data, and to customize their own radiant gold power armor.

Having arranged everything, his figure disappeared with the teleportation, leaving the surface of Nur and heading to the Ring Belt Arena.

After two weeks, the Grand Arena was ready.

When Doom reappeared, he descended amidst great anticipation, standing atop the circular arena platform, overlooking the neatly arrayed ranks of warriors.

"The Father of Genetics!"

"King Norwick!"

"Our King is immortal!"

The Doomsday Warrior and the Night Watcher paid their respects to the majestic figure on the high platform with the utmost solemnity, and shouted his name.

The mortals knelt down in unison like a tidal wave, and the deafening sound of their worship resonated so strongly that the ground of the arena trembled slightly.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Doom's heroic and extraordinary face seemed to be shining, and everyone present cheered and submitted to him.

The Lord of Mankind bestowed upon the Primarchs extraordinary charisma, enabling them to conquer the human race both physically and mentally as leaders.

Without a doubt, Doom's outward appearance is incredibly radiant, fitting the image of a valiant king in human perception.

He is the embodiment of a great leader, and deserves to be subservient to him.

"Get up."

A magnificent voice resounded from the high platform, majestic and awe-inspiring, like the supreme authority of a king, yet also gentle and soothing, like spring rain nourishing the heart.

Wow~
The crowds in the stands of the Grand Arena surged back in, and as soon as they knelt and stood up, the sea of ​​people, numbering in the hundreds of millions, rolled on like a raging ocean.

Above the circular arena, an inverted pyramid anti-gravity platform floats silently.

The upper level is guarded by soldiers who can be airdropped at any time to strike, while holographic images are projected on all four sides below, allowing the people of Nur to admire the king's demeanor.

Doom stood up straight, slightly raising his chin to reveal his rugged features, and the sound array system transmitted his voice to every corner of the arena: "Today is a great day."

The arena was silent as millions of spectators held their breath, listening intently to King Norwick's address.

The chroniclers from other worlds of the Nur constellation excitedly wielded their brushes, secretly vowing to bring everything they had seen to all their subordinate worlds.

At this moment, the light of the stars dimmed.

The Great King stood on the high platform, with Erica, the Dean of the War Academy, standing to his left, meticulous and with a ceremonial sword at her waist, her eagle-like eyes scanning the entire area.

On the right is the projection of the Central Law Sophia. Although the beautiful lady is an illusory figure, she is still worthy of respect. Her gaze is everywhere, monitoring all areas that electronic devices can reach.

Doom Norwick, looking down at his brave and fearless warriors.

The Heavenly Khan – Li Tang, the Lord of Wind – Elton Sena, the Champion Swordsman – Harlan Oglieve, and other masters lined up neatly.

These rare legends have gathered here, proudly standing tall, to receive the inspection of the great King of Norwick.

"In the past years, through the efforts of everyone, Nur has dispelled the old night of ignorance and chaos, marking the end of the 'Age of Decline' and ushering in a new 'Age of Progress'."

Doom's expression was solemn, and his magnetic voice was captivating.

As the story unfolded, the Nur people's thoughts sank into the dark past, their expressions gradually becoming solemn. That dark and terrifying era had dimmed even the stars.

The next moment, fervent eyes filled people's gazes, and tears streamed down their faces, for it was because of the rise of King Novik that the stars of Nur shone once more.

King Norwick lowered his eyes, his gaze sweeping over the enemy, his deep voice gradually rising: "In the long campaign, we have regained our past glory, and while our army has grown stronger, many problems have also been exposed." The army raised their heads, meeting the gaze of the king on the high platform. They knew that after this brief opening, the main point was about to be revealed.

Military reform!

Although the main military reform units received the central legal notification two weeks ago, they are still very excited.

The initial integration of the military was extremely crude, with the military operating under a simple framework and constantly exploring its way forward.

The troops discovered problems during combat, recorded them, and transmitted them back to the War College and Military Academy for optimization.

The time is now ripe; Nur's army will be reorganized and its combat effectiveness further enhanced.

"But we dare to correct it!" Doom shouted, raising his head to survey the entire circular arena, his voice firm and powerful: "The army is about to undergo its first major overhaul!"

"Roar!!!" As his roar subsided, the audience erupted in a loud cheer.

In today's Nur Stars, warrior culture is the undisputed mainstream, and the entire population is martial and eager for battle.

Military reform represents a restructuring, where generals and soldiers, strategists and warriors, will clash fiercely in a grand arena to determine who prevails.

The final score determines the military rank.

Taking advantage of the audience's heightened enthusiasm, Doom nodded in acknowledgment, and the holographic projection of the anti-gravity island displayed the basic structure of the reorganized army.

People looked closely and were immediately astonished.

They found that after the reorganization, Nur's army would be clearly divided, with each function clearly defined.

The Void Fleet became independent and established the "Nur Navy," under the jurisdiction of the Naval Command, specializing in Void warfare.

The army separated from the navy and established the "Nur Army," which was under the unified command of the Army Headquarters.

Unlike the Imperial Army, the Nur Army has its own escort fleet and troop deployment fleet, which makes it more professional and avoids confusion with the navy.

Most importantly, whether in the navy or the army, all commanders are ordinary people, and the Doomsday Warriors are not involved, thus completely separating the command system.

This is the result of Doom's careful consideration.

The future belongs to ordinary people. Rather than making them like superheroes and then painfully cutting them off, it's better to let ordinary people always be strong.

The excessive interference of the superhuman warriors in command not only distracts the warriors but also makes ordinary people dependent, making it difficult for them to give full play to their own talents.

There was another important reason why Doom entrusted the fleet to mortals—many of Nur's people joined the fleet.

As descendants of the Golden Man, and having not passed the selection process for Night Guard warriors, their physical abilities far surpass those of ordinary people, making them excellent candidates for fleet command.

On the other hand, the Nur people, or the Night Guards, are different from the Astartes Legion.

The former refers to the original inhabitants, creations of humanity through the enhancement of its own genes; the latter refers to the technology the Emperor obtained from the powerful beings of the Warp.

Someday in the future, Astartes will retire for various reasons, but the Night Watch will have nothing to worry about.

The first part of the military reform symbolizes the independence of the command system, separating ordinary people from the extraordinary.

The second part is a detailed breakdown of the Superman team.

The Doom Legion currently has over a thousand warriors, a small number compared to other legions, but the Doom descendants are beginning to take shape.

He divided the legion into ten companies, selected commanding talents to serve as company commanders, and also used a contest of force to select a guard of thirty men.

Once the planned Destroyer Warriors are completed, they will unleash their full power, becoming a professional rapid strike force that will strike directly at the enemy's command center.

Integrating the mortal auxiliary army with the mortals can indeed improve the efficiency of the mortal troops through command, but the mortals also drag down the legion warriors.

The Night Guards are the same; they are no longer mixed with the mortal auxiliary army, but are completely independent, optimizing the army's functions.

Superman and mortals, previously a mixed force, have been optimized into a dedicated force. Although they no longer fight side by side, from the perspective of the entire battlefield, they can actually give full play to their respective strengths and better fulfill their battlefield responsibilities.

What viewers are most looking forward to is the showdown between the Doomsday Warriors and the strategic maneuvering of the mortal general.

This is an extremely long selection process, involving multiple rounds of competition to select outstanding individuals.

For the audience, it is a feast for the eyes and ears, where people from the Nur constellation gather to watch warriors claim honor.

"start!"

Accompanied by King Norwick's deafening roar, the contest of wisdom against wisdom, strength against strength began.

As the ranks gradually dispersed, virtual pods rose below the arena, where naval officers lay down, preparing to begin the first day of strategic competition.

The competition format is extremely complex, and the best commanders are selected through various competitions.

Due to the critical nature of the navy, the trials will begin with them.
