Warhammer: From the Devouring C'tan Fragments

In an ordinary conference room in the huge fortress on the orbit of the recruit training star, all the high-ranking military officers are sitting in the conference room. These high-ranking military officers are sitting casually in the conference room.

Captains Gray and Medog among the Space Marines, as well as captains of various battalions such as Nak, David, and Dorak.

The three legion commanders of the defense army, Andrada, York, and John, as well as the commanders of the various armies under the legion.

The Navy's Chief Captain Mendeleev, with his command, Tulas, Lilith, Sevier, Wood and other four battleship captains, as well as the captains of various cruisers.

Dozens of senior officers from the Star Army gathered together. They were all wearing power armor, wrapping themselves tightly, looking very majestic and domineering. The power armor helmets were placed on the table in front of them.

These soldiers are elites who have experienced countless battles, each with a unique temperament and style. Some are taciturn, but their eyes reveal determination; others are lively and cheerful, full of confidence and vitality.

In front of these giants, who were at least 2.5 meters tall, ordinary people might feel nervous and afraid. The aura they exuded made people afraid to approach them easily, an aura brought about by their years of high positions.

It was as if each of them were an impenetrable fortress. However, for these soldiers, such scenes were commonplace. They were accustomed to facing various dangers and challenges on the battlefield, so in this meeting room, they remained calm and composed.

Mendeleev looked at the people present with a smile on his face. He said to Gray and Andrada, "I didn't expect that we haven't been together for such a long time. Look at so many young and promising newcomers in the army now. It's really gratifying."

Mendeleev sighed as he scanned the energetic and high-spirited officers before him. The current Star Army was filled with a large number of outstanding talents, a stark contrast to when they first arrived in the Star Sea System.

Gray and Anredda followed his gaze and looked at the officers behind them. They also smiled and sighed, "Yes, everyone has been busy with their own affairs these days. How can they have the leisure to get together and chat?"

They couldn't help but think of the past, before entering the Star Sea Galaxy, when everyone could often get together to chat. Ever since the battle with the Imperial Fleet, everyone has been busy with their own internal military affairs, and now they rarely see each other due to their busy schedule.

"Oh, time flies! In the blink of an eye, several years have passed." Mendeleev sighed, with a hint of emotion in his eyes.

Since the last time they repelled the invading Imperial fleet, the top brass of the three armed forces had been busy dealing with the shortcomings discovered within the army, with almost no free time to get together and chat. Most of the time, they could only contact each other through direct communication to ensure the smooth progress of various tasks.

An Ruida cast his gaze towards the group of naval officers behind Mendeleev and said with a smile, "Your navy has performed quite well recently, actually training so many outstanding senior officers."

He noticed that some of the faces were unfamiliar, but the capable military temperament they exuded made Anrida very impressed.

Mendeleev smiled modestly and responded, "No, no, by comparison, your defense forces are more worthy of praise. You have more talented people, and that's a fact recognized by everyone."

He was fully aware of the importance of the Guards in the military and was genuinely pleased with their development. The Guards possessed the largest military force, but also shouldered the heaviest responsibilities: not only training reserve forces for the Navy and Space Marines, but also protecting the safety of planets within the galaxy.

"Alas! There's nothing we can do. Although our defense force is the largest, your navy and space marines prioritize talent. How can the rest of us, the oddballs, be considered worthy of such talent?"

Anrida sighed helplessly, his tone full of frustration and loss.

Mendeleev and Gray looked at Anrida and couldn't help but feel guilty. They knew that no matter what, the Navy and Space Marines would first select the outstanding talents trained by the Defense Force.

And those soldiers who were selected were not really all ugly, it was just that they were not very suitable for the requirements of the two armies. After all, the standards for selecting soldiers for both the Navy and the Space Marines were more stringent.

Anrida's words made the two feel a little embarrassed. They tried to explain, but didn't know where to start.

Mendeleev waved his hands and retorted: "It's serious, very serious when you say that." As he spoke, he smiled apologetically, hoping to ease the atmosphere.

Gray quickly agreed, "Yeah, don't say that. We all have our own characteristics and advantages, and we can't generalize." He tried to make his voice sound more relaxed, trying to defuse the awkward situation.

However, Anrida had no intention of letting them off easily and continued to look at them with strange eyes. Mendeleev and Gray felt increasingly guilty. Mendeleev began to regret bringing up this topic, which had now dragged him into it.

Finally, Mendeleev had to admit, "Okay, you're right. But this is also decided by the Lord of the Stars. Our navy and space warriors do not have the authority to train new recruits. Only your defense forces have this authority."

This doesn't mean we've picked up all the best talent, it's just that these people are more suitable for our navy and space marines."

In response to Mendeleev's words, Anrida nodded in understanding. "I understand. I'm just a little upset that you've taken away all the best recruits from our defense forces."

Just now, when Andreida said this to the two of them, he was just complaining and he didn't really mean to blame them. This is also one of the duties of the defense force.

The two men selected some of the talents from a group of newly trained recruits of the Defense Force, some of whom were people that Andreida admired very much, and he wanted to keep them all in the Defense Force.

As a result, faced with the promises made by the Navy and the Space Marines, these recruits chose to follow them and leave.

"I'm glad you don't blame me. You can complain to me anytime you want." Gray patted his chest.
