Warhammer in a box

Chapter 292: One person joins the army and the whole family is honored

Moen set off with his only possessions, two pieces of clothing, a quilt, and a homemade hunting bow. He gave the rest of the pots, pans, and other miscellaneous items to his childhood friend.

Ali was ultimately reluctant to join the army and decided to stay in his small village.

"Sir, is Terra really as beautiful as the rumors say?" Morn chatted with the Terra messenger and asked the question that concerned him most.

"Is it beautiful? Perhaps the word beautiful cannot describe the Holy City of Terra. I really hope that one day I will be qualified to live in this city."

The messenger also had a look of longing on his face.

After walking along the forest trail for two days, they finally came out of the undeveloped forest. When the small team walked onto the main road, they could see the same small teams of several people on the flat road paved with cement or asphalt. These were also the teams going to various villages and towns to recruit soldiers.

The Terran soldiers between teams greeted each other, boasted about how many soldiers they had brought back, and some even said that they had found good seedlings.

Eventually these teams will converge in the city of Nuln.

Nuln temporarily became a gathering point for recruiting troops from nearby and other electoral territories.

Nuln has also undergone tremendous changes. Nuln was severely damaged in the attack by the ratmen, which reduced the manpower required to demolish the buildings. As long as the ruins are cleared, Nuln can be rebuilt into the way he wants.

It is still designed by the director of the Mechanicus, and the overall style is very similar to Terra, except that the factory area here is larger and the underground has not yet been fully developed. But even so, the scale of Nuln is now several times larger than before.

Moren followed behind with eyes full of curiosity, his own village was nothing compared to this city, while at this time, bright red banners were posted everywhere in the city of Nun.

The double-headed eagle on the banner was painted with golden paint, which was particularly dazzling in the sun, and the words on the banner also aroused Moren's curiosity.

"Sir, why are there so many banners? What do they say?"

"Once you pass the preliminary selection, you will have to learn to read, Morn. If you can't read, you won't have a chance to be promoted in the army. It seems that you will soon know what is written on it without me telling you."

The team in front of me, led by the nun, was shouting as they walked.

"One person serving in the army brings honor to the whole family."

"Enlist in the army, use your life and wisdom to defend the glory of the empire, and realize your heroic dream"

"Respond to the call of the God Emperor, accept the selection of the God Emperor, actively sign up to apply, be the Human God Emperor, for the sake of mankind!"

The team shouted slogans loudly, and passers-by would respond from time to time.

Moren saw a scene that was very different from what he had known before. He saw the civilians in this city excitedly saying that they wanted to sign up for the army. He also saw those wealthy businessmen, or those who were obviously officials, proudly smoothing the collars of their eldest sons' military uniforms.

He spoke of fighting bravely for the Emperor, and of bringing glory back to his family's blessing.

Moren was a little confused. These people had no worries about food and clothing, and some even held high positions, so why did they send their children to the army? War was no joke; people would die there.

They can obviously enjoy their lives in their own homes.

"Moen, stop looking. Hurry up. The gathering time is almost here. If you miss it, no one will give you another chance. Those officers from the Military Affairs Department are very strict!"

"Yes, sir!" With a lot of questions in his mind, Moren walked into a huge barracks where a large number of candidates gathered, and the candidates here were obviously divided into several different factions.

One side is people like him. You can tell at a glance that they are selected from various villages. Each of them has a bit of confusion and immaturity on their face, and most of them come for the generous military pay.

The second group is the children of merchants and officials. Most of these people are also believers of the God-Emperor. After all, if you don’t believe in the God-Emperor, you can’t get a position in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Among those children of merchants, some also want to accumulate political capital for their families in order to gain more support in the Jaeger Chamber of Commerce.

This group of people are obviously stronger. After all, they will not lack food and drink within Terra's sphere of influence, and they also know the purpose of their military service.

The people in the third group had all put on military uniforms, but the uniforms did not have ranks. These young men stood in military posture and gathered together in an orderly manner. These people were the children of Terra's original soldiers and officers.

The selection of Terra's regular army has always been strict. After knowing the conscription order, these military families received the news immediately. These soldiers knew that the social status and wealth they now had were all because of the army, coupled with their piety to the God-Emperor, these people sent their children into the army without hesitation.

Just like there are many military or police families in reality, these children will also yearn to become soldiers under the influence of their surroundings.

"Quiet, quiet! Everyone be quiet. Anyone who makes any more noise will be kicked out!!"

A bearded officer stood on the ceremonial platform and shouted. Moen really didn't know how a person could have such a loud voice, but the power and murderous aura emanating from him immediately silenced everyone present.

"Very good, you are quite obedient. I know that all of you have your own reasons for enlisting in the army, but I don't care. Whether it's for money or for other reasons, the only thing you have to do is to kill the enemies of the Emperor!
Also, stay away from those Chaos Cultists. If you see any Cultists, I will kill them without mercy!"

"Praise the Emperor!" The shout from the group of soldiers startled Moren.

"Very good! Very energetic! Boys, take off all your clothes! Don't leave any clothes behind, priests! Let's test these brats for Chaos Corruption!"

A group of people took off all their clothes unwillingly.

Then some priests came to each person with divine sigils and chaos magic detection equipment in their hands, and carefully observed every part of their body while testing.

A priest came in front of Moren and observed him carefully, but suddenly the divine symbol in the priest's hand lit up.

"Uh, what does this mean?" Moren looked confused.

However, the priest then took the magic detection equipment and began to scan the person next to Moren. As the instrument sounded a loud alarm, the person next to Moren suddenly jumped up and shouted for the Lord of Change.

But before he could take a step, a gunshot rang out, and the man's head exploded instantly, and blood splattered all over Morn.

"I knew that this group of cultists would find a way to sneak in! Priests, check carefully!"

The muzzle of the gun in the man's hand on the stage was still emitting smoke.

The Inquisition had long predicted that with such a large-scale conscription, these cultists would definitely find a way to sneak in.

Fortunately, there was only one hidden cultist among this group of candidates, but Moen was trembling and unable to speak at this time. He suddenly began to wonder whether his decision to join the army was correct.

The officer on the platform came to Moren and wiped the blood off his face with a piece of linen.

"Kid, not bad. At least you didn't wet your pants. That's not bad. My name is Marcus. Try your best to pass the boot camp. I'll keep an eye on you."
