Chapter 1023, The Blood Angel Has Never Been So Powerful
The battle situation on Rainborn Star underwent a fundamental change due to Leon's arrival.
The world is still at war with humanity. The earth is shifting, trees and beasts are attacking human armies, and the swarming armies of chaos and demons remain vast in number.
However, before Leon arrived, Organlon's troops were already in a predicament. It would likely take quite some time before they were completely annihilated.
And now Leon has arrived.
With him, this top-tier warrior, standing on any battlefield, all problems are solved. All of the enemy's major offensives will be repelled.
At the same time, there was also a large number of Space Marines who came down with him.
The number of Space Marines assembled by Organron under the name of the Founding Chapter of the Angels of Death was no more than 20,000. They were deployed here and there across the entire sector's battlefields, while also having to reserve a large force to defend the Great Rock. As a result, despite the promise to use all their strength during the airborne attack on Rainborn, only 5,000 men were actually able to land.
We truly gave it our all; there was nothing more to go.
However, the number of Space Marines who landed in Organlon already exceeded 30,000!
Most of them came from various sub-companies of the Blood Angels, and most of them were newly established warbands.
In the battle on the Blood Angels' homeworld, Celestial, where they were nearly overrun by the Void Swarm, the Blood Angels' main force, along with all their sub-forces, had only a little over four thousand members left.
Although there may have been some Blood Angel sub-groups that did not participate in the war due to not receiving the news, not having enough time, or other reasons, in general, all Blood Angel bloodlines were crippled in that battle.
The Blood Angels are not a prolific lineage; their genetic seeds generally have low compatibility, resulting in a low success rate for surgeries. Gathering 20,000 to 30,000 troops, only to be reduced to 3,000 to 4,000, is practically annihilation. Even if nothing major happens afterward, recovery could take years.
But what happens after they 'joined' the league?
First, all warbands that were understaffed were quickly replenished with full personnel. The efficiency of the Space Marine Management Council's Bloodline Development Center was truly remarkable. Furthermore, the conditions offered to these Blood Angel warbands by the Alliance were exceptionally generous and lenient.
Chapter tradition?
Satisfy!
Special training requirements?
Satisfy!
Does the requirement apply that new recruits must be recruited from the chapter's homeworld or from a few specific worlds?
Satisfy!
No matter how demanding the conditions are, the Alliance's New Blood Training Center can quickly meet them.
This approach proved highly effective—numerous warbands readily accepted these new recruits. Even the most discerning and hesitant warbands had to admit that these new blood not only possessed Ouxiu (a type of brilliance), but also perfectly met their requirements in all aspects. Given enough time, they would become exactly the same as the recruits normally recruited by the warbands.
What reason do those warbands have not to regroup?
In addition to replenishing existing chapters, the Space Marines Management Association also rebuilt chapters that had been completely destroyed and discontinued during the war.
Others might argue that, apart from the name, this rebuilt chapter is virtually indistinguishable from the original. However, Dante, the Chapter Master of the Blood Angels, vehemently refuted such claims.
These rebuilt chapters not only bear the name, but also share the bloodline of the Blood Angels; their history and texts have been preserved; and the heroes of their past will be honored...
Perhaps it will be different from warbands with unbroken traditions, since the original members are all dead, and some things simply cannot be passed down. However, every little bit that can be passed down is precious. Every bit that can be passed down means that some of those destroyed warbands have been resurrected.
It's incomplete, but it's the best option under the current circumstances.
It is comforting enough.
Having done all these things, the number of Blood Angel offspring controlled by the Alliance had already recovered to 40,000 in a short period of time.
This is almost the state of the Blood Angels lineage at its peak.
But that's not all.
Subsequently, after the establishment of the Angelic Expeditionary Force, the Blood Angels' offspring were indeed constantly engaged in warfare, but the number of chapter members continued to rise.
This timeframe is basically in five-year waves, with growth increasing exponentially.
That's because every five years, the first batch of genetic seeds carried by a new generation of blood matures. Once harvested, a continuous stream of new blood is cultivated. A small portion of them are deployed to various frontline battle groups as replacements for fallen soldiers, while the majority are used to build new Blood Angel units, one after another.
The number of Blood Angels thus steadily increased.
A major prerequisite for maintaining growth is the continuous victory in wars.
Only with victory can our casualties be controlled; only with victory can the genetic seeds of fallen soldiers be reclaimed in a stable manner.
In addition, the alliance's extremely high success rate in gene seed transplantation surgery allows the number of Blood Angels to increase significantly every five years.
This growth became even more pronounced after the establishment of the new empire—two gene seed banks, one large and one small, located on Mars and Holy Terra respectively, have been opened to the public. These banks contain the gene seed taxes paid by various warbands over the past ten thousand years, an accumulated amount that is enormous!
To date, the total number of Blood Angel offspring has exceeded 110,000!
This number is something that the descendants of the former Blood Angels could never have imagined!
Too much!
The Blood Angels, who face difficulties in passing on their lineage, suffer from bloodline diseases, and even those fighting on the front lines, have never had such a large number of offspring throughout their long history!
Most of them were active in the Angelic Expeditionary Force.
This time, Leon and Dante led a force of 60,000 Blood Angels. Deploying 20,000 to the surface of Rainborn Star seemed like an astronomical number to the Death Angels—the entire force Organron could muster with all its might. But to the Blood Angels, it was merely one wave of deployment.
More than 10,000 people have already gone to the giant rock; and nearly 30,000 more are in reserve, ready to go wherever needed.
The battle on Rainborn Star was turned around thanks to the addition of 20,000 Blood Angel Space Marines and numerous mortal troops.
At this point in the battle, even the evil god Bassol, as the leader of the enemy, could no longer sit still.
If he doesn't take action himself, this trap, which was originally set for the angels of death, will be crushed instead!
