Servo-skulls circled Qin Yun, emitting a low hum.
The mechanical prosthetic eyes embedded in their sockets recorded this moment.
The Warmaster looked thrilled.
He hadn't expected the award ceremony to come with its own exclusive storyline!!
Later, he had to get the group leader to send him the footage so he could preserve it properly.
"I do."
The Warmaster dropped to one knee, holding out both hands, his tone devout.
"Are you willing to serve the God-Emperor and fight the darkness for the Imperium?"
"I do."
"Are you willing to wield your sword to protect civilization and fight for humanity to the very end?"
"I do."
"Are you willing to battle the enemies of Chaos for all eternity and purge all evil?"
"I do."
"What is your duty?"
"To devote myself to the Emperor's will is my duty."
"What is your mission?"
"To defend humanity unto death is my mission."
"What is your destiny?"
"To fight until death is my destiny."
"Rise."
Qin Yun had the Warmaster stand, then crouched and pinned the Aquila Medal to his chest.
"Remember the oath you swore today. The God-Emperor watches over you."
Old Bird, Reckless General, and the other veteran players watched from the side.
Their hearts felt sour, as if they had bitten into lemons.
They were jealous beyond words.
Why wasn't the one receiving the medal them!!
It looked like they would have to keep grinding like their lives depended on it.
They wanted Aquila Medals too.
They wanted their own exclusive storylines too.
"That's so cool! An oath-taking award ceremony, and it even has an exclusive storyline. What other game has this?"
"This feels damn good. Really damn good. I'm going to grind myself to death and get an Aquila Medal."
"I'm giving my heart and liver to the Emperor."
