Brother Astartes is the translation of the High Gothic name for Space Marine.

In that world, human civilization had already entered the era of interstellar colonization. However, as a subspace storm swept across the entire river system, interstellar routes were interrupted, warlords were divided, and disputes broke out.

At that time, the great Emperor could no longer sit back and watch the depravity of mankind and began his journey to reunify mankind.

In order to unify Holy Terra, the Emperor used genetic technology to create the first batch of enhanced human warriors, the Thunder Warriors, who were the predecessors of the Space Marines.

In order to regain the colonies lost by humanity in the Age of Strife, the Emperor needed warriors more efficient than the Thunder Warriors, so he created the Primarchs and used them as samples to create Space Marines, and led them to embark on the magnificent Great Crusade.

.

After the Horus Heresy, Robert Guilliman, the Primarch of the Thirteenth Legion Ultramarines at the time, wrote the classic military book "Codemus Astartes".

This military holy book contains almost all tactical doctrines and strategic plans applicable in almost all situations, such as the iron rain tactic that was extremely famous in that world.

The Codex Astartes has three central ideas, namely as a guide to tactics and strategy, as a guide to military establishment and organization, and as a guide to local decentralization.

In Livy's view, Robert Guilliman was a genius with flaws, an unparalleled organizational scientist and military strategist, and he was also very obsessed with details.

In addition to the organization of the war group, this book also contains all-encompassing management:

From baggage stocks to food, from water distribution and weapons production, the organization of auxiliary forces, virus crises, training schedules, troop morale, baggage production and then allocating them to ground and sea combat units, reserves stocks, and so on

Expected consumption of spare supplies when production ceases, distribution of food between militia and civilians, food preservation methods, food recycling, integrated chain of command when allied forces and auxiliary forces cooperate in operations, formal integration of militia into the army, drafted based on battle lines

Assembly points and landing points, priority rights for entering and exiting the above areas, defensive positions, and blasting plans that must be used when the defensive positions must be evacuated, etc.

The Holy Scriptures also tell you what you should do in your daily life based on the law of honor.

To a certain extent, this holy book can really guide a warrior on what to do in his life.

Although these specifications are strict, the results of following them are usually either acceptable or excellent.

To be honest, Li Wei didn't know much about military affairs, but this did not prevent him from feeling the wisdom and painstaking efforts like the vast stars from this military book.

An efficient and orderly military organization and management system is really useful for a territory like Zeelandia with a shallow foundation.

Perhaps some of its ideas and concepts are too advanced in many places, but Levi has no intention of copying them completely.

Generally speaking, its positive and reference significance far outweigh its disadvantages.

What's interesting is that the most important fundamental reason why Robert wanted to split the large legions into small war groups of a thousand people was to prevent another centralization of power similar to the Horus Heresy.

However, in the continent of Corel, since it was still in the era of feudal slavery, in order to achieve the highest efficiency of command and management, most of the military systems in various city-states basically relied on the cooperation of thousands of legions.

Under normal circumstances, in this era, it is relatively normal for the military-civilian ratio in a territory to remain roughly between ten and fifteen percent.

According to the current scale of Li Wei's surface camp, which is less than 20,000 people, Dingtian will gather two battle groups first.

To really achieve the planned twenty legions, we must find a way to grow the new city of Minas Tirith to more than 200,000 people within fifty years.

Such a wild goal would be shocking to any city-state or even country in Corel.

As for calling the future warriors Astartes monks, this also contains Levi's hope and ambition for them.

Male romance is nothing more than the stars and the sea.

In my previous life, I didn't have time to see humans land on Mars. Now that I have become a silver dragon with a long enough lifespan in this life, isn't it enough to look forward to it in a few thousand years?

Just after Levi and his team of management officials officially started to implement the copycat version of the Codex Astartes, the entire camp's citizens clearly felt the changes.

Among them, those who feel particularly strongly are probably those who enlisted in the army more or less because of the generous military benefits.

Herbert is one of them

Many Silvermoon immigrants who came to the territory with him were puzzled by this.

Because Herbert held off the orc cavalry alone in the battle against the orcs, preventing the rear militia from escaping and causing greater casualties, Fisher personally requested credit from Li Wei for him.

So there was Herbert's share of the port "River Pass".

At the same time, for the sake of the territory's reputation, before Herbert, the gatekeeper, joined the job, Fisher even took him to the 'Mongolian doctors' in Ige to have his lame right leg boned.

Corrective surgery.

It may be a bit far-fetched to say that it is corrective surgery.

After all, they can't perform such a delicate operation at this stage.

But as the saying goes, surgery is not enough, so magic can help.

Herbert was first put to sleep by several tall mages using [Hypnosis], and then a certain wizard picked up a dwarf warhammer and knocked it down.

Herbert screamed on the spot, "Sitting up in a dying illness", and was physically knocked unconscious by the mage who acted according to the situation.

In the end, the director, Mr. Ige, personally took action and gave him an [Advanced Restoration Technique], which directly reset his right leg to the healthy state before he was hit by the arrow.

So much so that Herbert got out of bed as soon as he woke up without even taking any rehabilitation therapy.

But perhaps the recovery was so healthy that Herbert always felt that his recovered right leg was healthier and stronger than his left leg, so that he still had a slight limp when walking.

I used to be lame on the right side, but now I'm lame on the left side.

For this reason, he has been teased a lot by his friends recently. Among them, the gray dwarf named Iron Hammer Bronzebeard simply called him Hao Laizi, so that now everyone who knows him in the entire territory has started to follow suit and call him He.

Cripple.

Then the formal commendation came, and he received the Zeelandia Second Class Merit and an Iron and Bronze Cross for Gallantry.

At the same time, as a preferential treatment, Fischer gave him priority for a new job in the new city.

At that time, Herbert was a little confused. First of all, he used to be a city guard who couldn't read a word. After he retired, he became a farmer, and now he became a city guard at the port.

So much so that he didn't know what else he could do besides being a city guard and a farmer.

Sometimes he even wonders if this may be the end of his life.

So he voluntarily gave up this great opportunity, which would make other citizens envious, and continued to work as a city guard at the port under construction.

It wasn't until half a month later that his son Anthony told him news that shocked him.

Anthony actually passed the second interview of the mages, which was described as hellish, and became the arcane apprentice of Ige, the unparalleled wise man in the legend of Zelandia, the director of the Magic Research Institute.

But in order to take care of his parents, Anthony, who looked slightly pale, hid the experiences that destroyed his outlook on life at the Magic Research Institute.

That night, Herbert was very drunk.

His son actually has the talent to become a magician, not an arcanist, so he is naturally happy from the bottom of his heart.

But after being happy, there was a deeper sense of confusion.

He didn't know why he felt like this. Was it worry about the uncertainty of the future, or what?

He couldn't explain it himself.

Until the next day, when he was standing in the audience, he heard the deafening words spoken by the lord Mr. Levis:

"No one can protect you forever!

"The only one who can protect you is yourself!

"Just like when you picked up swords and guns before and faced those orcs.

"But without any training, are you capable of protecting yourself, your wives and children?"

At that time, like everyone else, he lowered his head silently.

But Herbert gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

Until that moment, Herbert finally knew why he felt confused.

Yes, he still has no ability to protect his wife and children in the face of unknown threats in the future.

Even if he faced the orcs again, he might not even be able to protect himself.

Yes, no one can protect them forever

The only one who can protect yourself and your family is yourself!

Seeing the evasive looks of his friends around him, Herbert strengthened his determination.

He wants to join the army!

‘If not many people join the army to protect the territory, then who will protect them when the orcs come again?

'If no one comes forward, then

'I will do it myself!'

Herbert said to himself with great ambition

But when he waited until the next day, he took his luggage and said goodbye to his tearful and reluctant wife. After arriving at the temporary military camp, Herbert, who was originally ambitious and passionate,

Everyone is Spartan.

Since he was among the first to sign up, and he went to the port in advance for duty and handover procedures after signing up, he didn’t know how popular subsequent signups would be.

After all, everyone has a tendency to follow the crowd.

Only after seeing more and more people sign up, the balance of luck in their hearts will gradually tilt, prompting them to do something that changes their destiny.

According to the notification from the recruitment camp, after they formally join the army, they will undergo a three-month closed training for new recruits.

But when he took the standard leather military uniform he received and arrived at the temporarily built tent No. 404 according to his serial number, he bumped into a big naked man. He staggered a few steps and was about to leave.
