My Desperate Journey in 40k

Cole accepted the two gifts and thanked Wang Ming sincerely. This universe was desperate and cruel. Even though he had become the captain of an Astartes company, he was not sure whether he could protect his family in the brutal war.

"The fleet will set sail after the selection of new recruits is completed. Let's go and see those children."

Wang Ming patted Cole on the shoulder and told him about the selection of new recruits. As a Primarch in the legion, he would definitely go and take a look at the selection of new recruits.

"Okay boss."

Cole looked at his children reluctantly, and then went to the recruit selection site with Wang Ming.

The world of Eden, as an amusement park in the federal era, has extremely beautiful natural scenery. The towering snow-capped mountains, dense forests, and various man-made landscapes make people who come here feel relaxed and happy. If it weren't for the native creatures there being so dangerous, this would probably be a paradise world.

In the north of the planetary continent, there is a huge jungle with a forest coverage area of ​​4,000 square meters. It is one of the largest forests in the world and also the most dangerous place in the world. Countless genetically edited creatures from the Western fantasy world live in it. In the federal era, this was an amusement park for middle-class families. Hunting and role-playing are the main entertainment projects in this forest. Visitors can hunt various creatures in this forest full of Western fantasy creatures accompanied by genetically enhanced people.

Role-playing is also very fun. Tourists will play the roles of knights, adventurers, mages (assisted by professional psychics), bards, etc., and adventure in the forest without having to worry about any danger. The Federation’s various technologies can rescue tourists who are in danger at the first time. No matter how serious the injury is, as long as there is still a breath, the Federation’s professional medical team can make them recover within a day, and the medical care is completely free. After all, tourists who can come here to play have bought local insurance.

The Iron Man Rebellion back then did not have much impact here. After all, the main theme here is an original medieval style. AI is also used, but most of it is used for management facilities or medical systems. However, after the subspace storm, it cut off contact and supplies with the Federation, and the entertainment facilities in this world gradually got out of control. A large number of creatures began to reproduce naturally without control, and technology also regressed uncontrollably.

After tens of thousands of years, this world has completely turned into a dangerous world. Although its man-made natural environment is not as dark as Catachan, it is no less dangerous than some dangerous worlds. It is normal for dragons and griffins to fly side by side in this world. In some seasons, large-scale migrating herds of beasts can make human cities in this world disappear in an instant.

The local humans have also adapted to this environment in the past ten thousand years, and learned to coexist with the local creations they once created. Then their style became strange. Various knights and mages appeared in this world. There are also a lot of psychics in this world, so this world has also become a major production base for providing firewood for Terra... Psychics. In this planetary reconstruction work, restoring the supply chain of psychics is also a very important thing.

"This kid is pretty good. Remember him and see if he can kill the Cyclops."

Back to the topic, inside the forest, in the First Regiment's base, Wang Xiaofa watched the live broadcast of the micro-drone and spoke to the mortal officer beside him. The mortal officer nodded and then wrote down the child's information.

The micro drone captured a young man in armor fighting with a giant ape-like creature. The young man held a long sword in both hands and attacked the 5.7-meter-tall monster in front of him with his superb swordsmanship.

This monster is a large local animal, and its ecology is only in the middle level of the World of Eden. However, it is also a huge threat to the human species. Its huge size can easily kill any human. In terms of pure power comparison, even the Astartes cannot compete with this creature.

Every counterattack of the monster was powerful. If it hit the boy, the armor on his body would not be able to protect his life at all. Judging from a huge tree that collapsed after being hit by the monster, if the monster fought head-on, it could overturn a Chimera armored transport.

Facing this monster, the boy still fought with ease. He was not afraid of the enemy's strength. Every moment he was calmly trying to find a way to kill the monster. He knew his advantages. He was faster than the monster, and his weapon could also cut through the monster's thick skin. As long as he was given a chance, he could kill the monster.

The opportunity came soon. The monster punched the boy, but the boy dodged the attack successfully. Then, while the monster was unable to react in time due to inertia, he quickly pulled out the pistol from his waist, aimed at the monster's one eye and fired a shot. The shot accurately hit the monster's eye. After all, it was hard to miss at this distance.

The Cyclops, this gene-edited creature that uses monkey genes as a template, as the name suggests, has only one eye. The boy's shot directly caused it to lose its vision. After falling into darkness, it went completely crazy. It indiscriminately attacked everything around it, whether it was trees or the ground. It was like a logging machine. Huge trees fell one after another, and the boy stood at a relatively safe distance, quietly watching the monster destroy the trees.

Time passed little by little, and the monster's physical strength was gradually exhausted. It felt the surrounding environment, and when it felt that nothing was attacking it anymore, it sat down on the ground. Then it touched its blind eyes and kept wailing in a low voice.

The young man moved at this moment. He rushed towards the Cyclops quickly. When the monster found that he stood up, he jumped onto the back of the Cyclops. Then he held the sword with his backhand and inserted the tip of the sword directly into the Cyclops' skull. The sharpness of the single-molecule weapon was evident. The hardest skull of the Cyclops was pierced instantly, but this degree was not enough to kill the monster with strong vitality. It struggled violently, and the young man could only throw away the long sword that was inserted into its head to ensure that he would not be thrown out by it.

The hardness of the monomolecular weapon was very high. No matter how powerful it was, it could not break the blade of the monomolecular longsword. It struggled frantically, and finally, it threw the boy away. However, its head was also cut open by the blade of the monomolecular longsword. The left and right brains were opened, and various brain nerve tissues were also cut into pieces.

The Cyclops' head had been broken into two pieces, and its body stood in place. It staggered for a while and then fell to the ground with a bang. The boy also crashed into a giant tree after a short flight in the air. All the armor on his body was shattered, and many of his bones were broken. This shows how powerful this monster is.

The young man spat out blood and stood up tremblingly. He could hardly feel his own body. The huge impact made him feel that all his internal organs were broken. In fact, this was the case. Most of his internal organs were damaged. His body trembled and finally fell to the ground.

At the moment the boy fell to the ground, several time travelers suddenly rushed out from the jungle. They came to the boy in an instant and injected him with a medicine.

"This little guy is good. The medical potion has been injected to protect his life. Take him away. He has advanced."

A time traveler picked up the boy, then said something to the other time travelers around him and disappeared instantly. This was the selection of these children. Ten thousand candidates were thrown into the jungle and forced to fight against various creatures and the natural environment. Some outstanding talents would receive special attention from the time travelers. After completing certain things, there was a great possibility that they would be directly advanced to the next stage by the time travelers.

There are three processes for the selection of new recruits by the time travelers. First is the local selection. The local government will determine that these children are the strongest children in the local area, and then they will be transferred to the time travelers. The time travelers will give them a practical selection just like before, and finally the legion think tank will conduct psychological evaluation and soul testing. After all this is done, the candidates who pass the last step of the test will truly be qualified to become Astartes. They will become recruits of the garrison company of the Eden World and guard this world for the 21st Legion and the Empire.

"Boss, currently twenty-five people have passed the selection, and they have now been scheduled for surgery."

In the traverser's residence at the selection site, Wang Xiaofa was reporting the selection situation to Wang Ming. The selection had already started for fifteen days. During these fifteen days, only twenty-five people passed the final test, and most of the others were eliminated because they failed the think tank test.

For the Astartes Legion, psychological testing is very important. If they fail the psychological test, they may be easily corrupted by Chaos, which is a very dangerous situation. The 21st Legion has the best weapons and equipment, and its training is also carried out by the Astartes veterans of the Great Crusade. If they rebel, it will be a huge disaster.

"Fifteen days, twenty-five people. This is already very good. There are sixteen thousand candidates in this world. These twenty-five people have defeated the vast majority. There are still six thousand five hundred and twenty-eight people in the selection process. I hope that seventy-five more qualified people can emerge from them."

Wang Ming looked at Wang Xiaofa beside him, nodded with satisfaction, and then said to him that although he said so, there were only 25 qualified people among more than 9,000 people, and the possibility of 100 people appearing among more than 6,000 people was very small.

"Boss, you might as well ask the Space Huskies for 10,000 people. Although these children are powerful warriors, most of the good ones are provided to the Space Wolves. Boss, can't you talk to Leman Russ and give us some of the good ones?"

Speaking of the number of candidates, Wang Xiaofa told Wang Ming about the matter of the Space Wolves snatching away a group of good seedlings. At that time, Wang Ming also discussed the issue of this batch of new recruits with Leman Russ. At that time, Leman Russ said this.

"Wang Ming, you see I don't have many new recruits here, so just give me your batch of new recruits."

At that time, Wang Ming didn't know what to say. He knew that it was extremely difficult for the Space Wolves to supply new recruits, so he finally agreed to Leman Russ. After all, compared to the Space Wolves, the gene seeds of the Star Travelers were very stable in compatibility with surgery. In short, the gene seeds were not picky about people, so Wang Ming gave that batch of new recruits to Leman Russ. Now Wang Xiaofa suddenly mentioned that batch of new recruits, which gave Wang Ming a headache. He didn't know what to do. Could he compete with Leman Russ?

"Well..."

Wang Ming looked at Wang Xiaofa. He had no choice. He had sent out that batch of recruits over such a long time ago. They must have drunk the Wolf Spiral. It was impossible for him to get them back, right?

"Well, I'll go get another batch of new soldiers. The batch given to Leman Russ probably can't be taken back."

Wang Ming said to Wang Xiaofa helplessly that the batch from Leman Russ could not be taken back, so he could only recruit another batch of new recruits. There were tens of billions of people in the entire Eden world, and there were at least tens of billions of young people aged fifteen. Wang Ming didn't believe that he couldn't select a hundred qualified Astartes recruits from these billions of people.

After dealing with some things at the selection site, Wang Ming went to the planetary capital to find the two leaders. Since he couldn't get Leman Russ's new recruits back, he would go and get a new batch of candidates.

Since we are talking about the Space Wolves' new recruits, let's take a look at the Space Wolves' new recruit selection. Since the Space Wolves' selection is not carried out in Fenris, the selection process for new recruits has also undergone some changes. Those new recruits have undergone some minor operations and become artificial Fenrisians. After the candidates have passed the first batch of wolf transformation, the selection of Space Wolves officially begins. Walking across the ice field is a necessary selection process, and their final selection is to hunt the top predator of the world of Eden, the dragon that lives high above the snow-capped mountains.

Chapter 384: The Fleet Sets Sail

384.

On the ice field in the Arctic of the World of Eden, a group of humans are walking on it. They have no warm clothes on their bodies. They just walk towards the snow-capped mountains in front of them. That is where their target is. Their target is the giant dragon on the snow-capped mountains. It is the top predator in the World of Eden and the pinnacle of the ecosystem of the World of Eden.

The selection of Space Huskies is to kill this dragon, which is not as humane as the training of Time Travelers. The Time Travelers will be taken away from the selection site immediately if they are fatally injured, while the Space Wolves don't care about life or death. Their selection is the standard selection method of the Astartes Legion.

After a long journey, the group of selectors finally arrived at their target location, which was the dragon's nest on the top of the mountain. They looked at the cave in front of them and knew that the giant dragon lived in it. As locals of the World of Eden, they had heard the legend of the giant dragon since they were young. They knew that it was the most powerful creature in the World of Eden and the overlord of the food chain on the continent.

The terrifying aura coming from the cave made the selectees feel oppressed, but they did not run away in fear. They knew that they had drunk the mead given by the angels and had been recognized by the angels. As long as they hunted the dragon in the cave, they would be qualified to become angels.

A group of Chosen Ones rushed directly to the cave entrance. They took out several wine bottles from their bodies, lit them and threw them directly into the cave. The flames burned instantly. For the dragons of this world, it was absolutely impossible for Fenris to hunt them down with only some cold weapons given to the Chosen Ones, so the Space Wolves also gave them some other weapons. The Chosen Ones had some bolt-action rifles from the local world and some simple incendiary bombs. Although these things were nothing in front of the dragons, they were already the most powerful weapons in the hands of the Chosen Ones. In addition, they also had single-molecule weapons, which were the weapons that could really hurt the dragons.

To be honest, compared to the selection mode of Space Wolves, the selection of time travelers is really too humane. At least you don’t have to worry about dying in the selection.

As the flames burned, a roar suddenly came from the cave, and a huge dragon head instantly broke through the flames and appeared in front of the selectors. The selectors looked at the huge dragon head and felt a huge fear in their hearts. This was the first time they truly saw the top predator in this world. The terrifying pressure was something that mortals could not face directly. Although they had heard about the legend of heroes slaying dragons since they were young, they were still very scared when they actually asked themselves to kill the dragon.

"Snapped!"

At this moment, a gunshot suddenly appeared in the crowd. A selector raised his rifle and shot at the dragon. The bullet hit the dragon's scales and bounced off without causing any damage to it. But this shot was like turning on the selector's hunting mode. The selectors began to fight with the dragon. The sound of bolt-action rifles was endless. The dragon looked at the humans in front of it who were attacking it with small tubes, but it did not attack directly. On the contrary, its head was full of confusion.

It didn't understand why these creatures suddenly attacked it when it was sleeping soundly. This was abnormal. It was the lord of this area and the top race in this world. How could the weak creatures in this world dare to attack it?

Just when the dragon was puzzled, a incendiary bomb suddenly hit its face. The scorching flames made the beast lose its remaining consciousness. It looked at those tiny humans and roared at them. However, the dragon's breath as imagined did not appear. It was just a genetically edited creature, not the real dragon in Western legends. It did not have the ability to spit out flames as described in Western legends.

It roared out of the cave and rushed directly towards the candidates, but at the moment its feet appeared, several chains suddenly flew to its feet and quickly wrapped around its legs. The dragon fell directly to the ground because of the sudden restraint. When the selectors saw this scene, they immediately rushed towards the dragon. This was a great opportunity to kill it.

But the candidates forgot that although the dragon's hands and feet were temporarily bound, it still had a tail. Its tail was waving, and several candidates who rushed towards it from the back were directly knocked away. However, it did not have much to do with the candidates who rushed towards it from the front and sides. The chain was a special dragon-locking chain made in the local world, which was one of the tools specially used for hunting dragons. The metal strength could lock a struggling dragon for about two minutes, and then the chain would be broken by its strength.

The candidates didn't care about their companions who were knocked flying. They had to take advantage of this time to kill the bound dragon. The single-molecule blades were cutting on the dragon's head. They destroyed the dragon's eyes first. The blades easily cut off the dragon's flesh and blood. The dragon couldn't move much. It could only roar and twist its body, but what followed was a more fierce attack from the candidates.

"They know how to cooperate and overcome their fears. These children are all good prospects."

Far away in the snow-capped mountains, Wang Ming looked at the scene of candidates hunting dragons in the distance. He said to Leman Russ, to be honest, he now regretted giving this batch of candidates to Leman Russ.

These children are all powerful warriors, and they are mentally very strong, otherwise they would not have been able to pass the test of wolf transformation. If these children were placed in the 21st Legion, they would definitely be able to pass the psychic's psychological test easily.

"It's okay. The children of Fenris are better. At least they have learned how to deal with danger in the severe cold of the Death World. But this world, compared to Fenris, is already a paradise."

Leman Russ did not quite agree with Wang Ming's statement. He was not satisfied with the candidates from this world. He thought that these children might be good fighters, but they were not Fenrisians. He did not think that people from other worlds had any special qualities that Fenrisians had. But from the old man's smile, which never dropped, it could be seen that this guy absolutely liked these candidates very much.

"Hahaha, in this desperate galaxy, we can't return to Fenris quickly now. Let's just make do with it. After all, these things can't be figured out overnight."

Wang Ming looked at Leman Russ. He knew that Leman Russ also loved these children very much. If the tens of billions of people in the Eden world were likened to a mine, then these children were like the most precious gems in the mine. After being processed through a procedure called Astartes surgery, they would become the most beautiful works of art.

After hearing Wang Ming's words, Leman Russ also smiled. Both of them knew what the other was thinking. Before, Wang Xiaofa had quarreled with the Space Wolves because of the issue of candidates being snatched away. He knew what Wang Ming thought about this batch of candidates, and Wang Ming also knew that he was satisfied with these candidates.

"By the way, Wang Ming, where are we going next?"

Leman Russ was talking to Wang Ming and suddenly asked about their next destination. They had stayed in this world for too long.

"Our next stop is a death world called Catachan... Catachan?!"

When Wang Ming heard Leman Russ's question, he opened his personal terminal and checked the next stop of the fleet. The fleet's direction of travel was determined by the fleet's artificial intelligence, the navigator and Wang Ming after discussion. But sometimes Wang Ming did not have time to discuss the destination. In this case, the artificial intelligence and the navigator would formulate the most stable backup destination.

"what?"

Leman Russ looked at Wang Ming who was suddenly shouting, and asked Wang Ming in confusion. He thought something had happened to the fleet, causing some problems at the destination.

"No... nothing. Our next destination is Catachan, a death world. The mortal soldiers produced there are very good."

Wang Ming looked at Leman Russ, and after adjusting his state, he smiled bitterly and said to Leman Russ. Although Leman Russ felt that Wang Ming's expression was very strange, he did not ask anything. He just decided to check the world of Catachan after returning to the fleet. This death world that surprised Wang Ming should have something, which made Leman Russ very curious.

The selection of new recruits took a month, which was considered very fast. If it were placed in the normal selection process, this time could only be regarded as a selection process. If you want to truly select new recruits, it will take a lot of time. After everything was arranged, the traversers and the mortal auxiliary forces returned to the fleet.

"The first batch of equipment has been given to you. You need to protect this world. And don't forget to give those out-of-control psychics to the Black Ship. I have already contacted the Black Ship Alliance for you."

Wang Ming looked at the huge fleet in the sky that blocked the light of the stars, and said to Cole beside him that after the world restored order, the most important thing was to restore the supply chain of psychics to Terra. There were already a lot of psychics in the World of Eden, and after the Great Rift opened, their number was many times greater than before. In the past few years, the Alliance of Mage in the World of Eden had tried their best to capture these out-of-control psychics. These psychics were the firewood that the World of Eden handed over to Terra.

The time travelers' fleet actually provides some help to the Imperial fleet's navigation. The biggest one is to find out the route of the subspace navigation. Every time they successfully arrive at a world, the time travelers' navigators will record the location of the subspace route. After they arrive at the target world, this information will be transmitted by the astropaths to the Imperial fleet that can get the news on the dark side of the Empire, so as to make the Imperial fleet sail as safely as possible in the dark side of the Empire.

This time, the Black Ship Fleet came to the World of Eden to collect psychics, and they came to the World of Eden through the route discovered by the 21st Legion Fleet.

"I understand, Boss. May the Emperor bless you. I will protect the stars in this human world, and you will recover lost territory for mankind among the stars..."

Cole looked at Wang Ming. His fellow villagers were about to leave this world. They would continue to travel to the dark and desperate galaxy to recover the imperial world that was caught in the flames of war for mankind.

"Hahaha, may the emperor bless you, why are you so artistic?"

Wang Ming patted Cole on the shoulder and said to him with a big laugh.

"Deshido, take good care of Cole. As a soldier of the Seventh Legion during the Great Crusade, you have a galaxy more experience than this guy."

After Wang Ming teased Cole, he looked at the Imperial Fist beside Cole. This was the instructor he found for the garrison company. As a defensive force, the garrison company mainly dealt with defensive battles. It was most appropriate to let the Imperial Fist, who was good at defensive battles, teach them.

"Hahaha, thank you for your recognition, my lord. I promise to turn this world into an impenetrable fortress. I swear on my name as the son of Dorne."

Deshido looked at Wang Ming. He smiled back at Wang Ming's joke, and then seriously assured Wang Ming that he would definitely turn the Eden World into a perfect fortress.

Wang Ming looked at the Imperial Fists who were so serious and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, they really are worthy of being the Imperial Fists. Wang Ming is absolutely confident in handing over the defensive war to them. During the siege of Terra, the defensive war commanded by Dorn was simply the best defensive war in the entire human civilization.

After explaining some things, Wang Ming returned to the fleet. After he returned to the fleet, the fleet officially set sail. Their destination was one of the most dangerous places in the galaxy, a place so dangerous that big trees and humans mingle together.

The fleet's plasma tail flames ignited the sky. The humans of the world of Eden looked at the light in the sky. They all knelt on the ground, praising loudly their only belief, the great Lord of Mankind, the saint sitting on the high seat and the golden throne.

Cole also looked at the sky, his heart was very complicated. He knew that this might be the last time he would meet Wang Ming. The Milky Way was huge, so huge that it was suffocating. He didn't know how many thousands of years it would be before he would have the chance to meet Wang Ming again, or maybe he and this world would not live to see that time. The dangers to mankind in the Milky Way were endless, with alien invasions and evil gods in the subspace. He could only do his best to protect this world, even if he and his world would be swallowed up by endless darkness.

The fleet is traveling at a very fast speed, and the speed of the curvature engine can reach several times the speed of light, but that's all. Humans in the Federation era have experimented with almost all superluminal methods, but in the end, only the subspace engine can truly allow human civilization to expand rapidly in the galaxy. Other superluminal technologies are too slow or extremely unstable. Their instability even makes the ships that are currently advancing in subspace storms seem safe. The instability of those things is simply suicidal, and their speed cannot match the speed of subspace navigation.

"Catachan, what do you think of this destination..."
