Nostramo's College Entrance Exam
Just as Han Mingxuan was preparing to go to the Fifth Legion, the fleet of the White Scars unexpectedly arrived in Nostramo.
"Futia, what's going on? Does the Fifth Legion need supplies?"
"Sir, according to the information we just received, they are not here to resupply."
"If it's not for supplies, then why are we here? If I remember correctly, the Fifth Legion's mission is not easy."
"I don't know either, sir."
"Never mind, we'll know once they get here."
Not long after the Fifth Legion's fleet arrived, the Sixth Legion's fleet followed closely behind.
This surprised Han Mingxuan; how did the Fifth Legion and Sixth Legions end up together?
Uncle, it's been so long! How are you?
"I'm fine, Jaghatai. How did you and Russ get to Nostramo?"
"Han Uncle, didn't you say you'd let us come to Nostramo after the survey was over? We're all waiting to be recruited!"
Tsk.
That's actually true.
"But there are still three Legions that haven't finished their missions yet."
"What's the big deal? The Khan and I are right here, and Sanguinius is here too. Besides, given the current state of the Blood Angels, aren't you worried?"
That's true.
Because Sanguinius awakened his Warp Essence, this brought about a massive amount of positive changes to the entire Ninth Legion.
The most obvious change is that the Ninth Legion's Red Thirst has disappeared.
"What about the others? Where are they now?"
"The other brothers are on their way. Horus said he has some personal matters to attend to and will arrive in Nostramo later."
Han Mingxuan nodded. It seemed that the Emperor and Malcador had already returned, otherwise Horus wouldn't have been able to spare the time.
"Alright, I'll start preparing the next recruitment plan then."
"Uncle, how's the plan going? Any progress?"
"Actually, after hearing your plan for the first time, I already had a general idea in mind. All that's left is to execute it."
It's just the college entrance exam, isn't it?
He knows this very well.
After receiving news that the Primarch were arriving one after another, Han Mingxuan began to make arrangements.
This time, he didn't go directly to the military camp, but went to the military academy.
Nowadays, the military academy in Nostramo is training Reserves for the Evernight Legion.
Of course, given the current strength and capabilities of the Eternal Evernight Legion, not everyone can get in.
It is highly likely that many of them will spend their entire lives in the Reserves.
"This is my first time at a military academy. Hello, soldiers."
"Long live the Father of Night! We have come for you!"
Um?
Why does this slogan sound so familiar?
Who taught you this slogan?
"Reporting, it's Lord Curze."
Tsk, it probably wasn't Curze's idea, it was more likely the Night Haunter's idea.
Forget it, let's not dwell on it.
"Soldiers, I know that from the moment you entered the military academy, you have longed to join the Evernight Legion."
"But as you know, the current situation of the Evernight Legion is such that many of them may have to spend their entire lives in the Reserves."
"To be loyal to the Father of Night!"
"No, soldiers, the fact that you've come to the military academy and are standing here undoubtedly shows that you are excellent, but you also know that there are too many excellent people in the Eighth Legion."
"If you stay in the Eighth Legion, your talents will be buried."
"Therefore, this time, in addition to joining the Eighth Legion Corps, you can also choose to join other Legion during the Eighth Legion recruitment."
As Han Mingxuan's voice faded, the entire military academy square fell silent.
But it didn't take long for everyone to respond.
"To be loyal to the Father of Night!"
The Father of Night reshaped Nostramo, and reshaped the fate of the Nostramo people.
No matter what the Father of Night wants them to do or where Father of Night wants them to go, they will do it without hesitation!
"Very good, warriors! In one month, a unique conscription will take place throughout Nostramo!"
"At that time, you can join the Legion you want to serve. As long as you pass the test, you can enter."
"Congratulations to the soldiers who have entered the Eighth Legion! Your efforts have been witnessed, and your wishes have been fulfilled."
"Congratulations to the warriors who have joined other Legions! For you carry the seeds of Nostramo, and you will bring the greatest, deepest, and most far-reaching fairness and justice to the entire Imperium!"
"To be loyal to the Father of Night!"
"To be loyal to the Father of Night!"
"To be loyal to the Father of Night!"
After resolving the issues at the military academy, Han Mingxuan began making arrangements in the largest central square.
There are eighteen recruitment registration points, one for each Legion.
Since A Fa couldn't show his face, this place became Han Mingxuan's resting place. However, he still planned to recruit some people for A Fa.
After all, it's not scarcity that's the problem, but inequality. They're all my nephews, so I can't favor one over the other.
As time went on, within half a month, all the Primarch arrived, except for Horus.
"You've all arrived, but where is Horus?"
"Uncle, Horus has some family matters to attend to," Ferrus Manus offered a relatively tactful reply.
Han Mingxuan didn't press the matter further, because in his view, Horus's so-called family matters were nothing more than chatting with the Emperor.
Did he say when he would arrive?
"Yes, it was mentioned, Uncle, probably in about three days."
"Alright, then we'll wait three more days. Recruitment will begin in three days, but let's make it clear beforehand that the Eighth Legion will start the recruitment process first. The rest will depend on your abilities."
"Of course, no problem, Uncle," Sanguinius said with a smile.
They wouldn't have had a chance to do this if their Uncle hadn't spoken up.
Now that they finally have the opportunity to find such high-quality soldiers, they can recruit more once the Eighth Legion is fully recruited.
Moreover, the military academy at Nostramo is quite large.
Excluding the 200,000 regular Reserves of the Evernight Legion, the number of Space Marines in the Midnight Reapers has now reached 230,000.
There were even more military academy soldiers who did not become Evernight Legion Reserves.
A conservative estimate is 700,000.
Of course, these are all those who are officially registered, not including those who have been demobilized. If we include those demobilized soldiers...
Therefore, the total manpower reserve of Nostramo has exceeded 500,000.
For the enemy, this number is a nightmare. If a full-scale war were to break out, the Eighth Legion could attack whomever it wanted.
Because they have enough people, other Legions are not afraid of not being able to recruit enough; it's just a matter of how many.
Three days later, Horus arrived at Nostramo with his fleet, but the Four Kings Council was absent.
Horus, where are the four men with you?
"It's like this, Uncle, there are some urgent military matters that require their attention, so it might be a while before we can see them again."
