Every message that popped up seemed to be a reward for their heroic fighting.
Loken knew very well that these teams were going deep into dangerous areas and facing many unknown dangers.
However, they completed their mission brilliantly with their excellent combat skills and tenacious will.
At this moment, seeing the news of their triumphant return pouring in, my heart is filled with pride.
After all, it was he who suggested to Horus that the company be expanded, and these new recruits lived up to his expectations.
This is not only a victory for each team, but also a demonstration of the unity, cooperation, bravery and fearlessness of the Shadow Moon Wolves Legion.
Loken seemed to be able to see through the screen, the faces of those soldiers who remained resolute despite having experienced war.
They supported each other in the brutal battles and defended the glory of the legion with blood and sweat.
As more news of successful suppression came in, he believed that under the leadership of the Wolf Shepherd God, the Legion would surely write their own glorious chapter in this star region and make great achievements in the development of the empire.
Loken turned and looked at the communications officer standing beside him. With praise in his eyes, he said, "Record the outstanding performance of each team. This is the honor of the Luna Wolves. Let every soldier know their efforts and achievements."
The communications officer nodded quickly, his fingers flying across the console as he recorded and filed away the details of the clearing operation.
At this moment, the hatch of the bridge slowly opened and Abaddon strode in.
He glanced at the display screen and saw the series of news about successful raids. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "Well done! These guys didn't let us down."
Abaddon patted Loken's shoulder, his eyes revealing the same relief as Loken's.
"Yes, they are the pride of the Legion," Loken responded. "However, the appearance of the aliens this time makes me feel that things are not that simple. We may face more unknown challenges in exploring this star region."
Abaddon frowned slightly, then nodded in agreement. "You are right, Loken. The aliens wouldn't appear here for no reason. There might be a bigger conspiracy brewing behind the scenes. We must remind our brothers to remain vigilant and not let down our guard just because of this victory."
As the two were talking, Horus Lupercal also walked into the bridge.
He walked with a steady pace, his eyes revealing his usual sharpness and majesty.
"You two are right. This victory is just the beginning. Our road to exploration in this star region is still long and will surely be full of thorns."
The Primarch's voice was firm and powerful, echoing across the bridge. "Inform the fleet to prepare comprehensive reconnaissance and defense deployments. At the same time, all companies must intensify their training, especially those with new recruits, to improve their combat capabilities and emergency response skills. We must be prepared for any greater crisis that may come."
Loken and Abaddon immediately responded in unison: "As you command, my lord!" Then, they quickly turned around and each went to carry out the orders given by the Primarch. A series of orderly instructions were then sounded on the Spirit of Vengeance.
Abaddon was completely unaware of this. At this moment, he was completely inspired by the Legion's victory in this clearing operation and immersed in the prospect of making great achievements in this star region in the future.
At the same time, Locke was busy on the training ground of the recruit company.
The recruits were lined up neatly and underwent high-intensity training under his command.
While observing the performance of the new recruits, Loken was thinking about his latest legion suggestions.
He believes that as the situation faced by the Legion in the process of developing star zones becomes increasingly complex, the existing brotherhood model can gather strength, but it seems somewhat limited when dealing with some special situations.
Therefore, Loken conceived a new system to further optimize the legion's command structure and combat mode to better adapt to various challenges that may be encountered in the future.
Chapter 323: Coexistence with the Brotherhood.
He felt that if this suggestion could be implemented, it would greatly enhance the Corps' combat effectiveness and ability to deal with complex situations.
However, he did not anticipate that this suggestion, which was made for the long-term development of the Legion, would ultimately bring disaster to the Brotherhood that Abaddon had always cherished.
Well, Locke knew, that's what he wanted to do.
Loken was looking forward to submitting this proposal to the Moon Wolves, hoping that it would be approved and implemented.
Loken still remembered that he had enthusiastically compiled his Legion's suggestions, carefully written a detailed report, and then went straight to Horus's command room.
He knew that this proposal was of great significance and, once implemented, would completely change the development trajectory of the Legion.
Entering the command room, Horus was standing in front of a huge star map, staring at the flickering lights representing the Legion's sphere of influence, thinking about the next strategic layout.
After bowing respectfully, Locke began to explain his suggestions.
He explained clearly and logically from the command system, recruit training to combat coordination and each aspect, his eyes revealing determination and confidence.
Horus listened quietly, his expression calm, but his eyes were filled with deep thought as Loken spoke, and sometimes a strange light flashed in his eyes.
After Loken finished speaking, Horus was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "Loken, your ideas are very insightful, and I can see that you have put a lot of thought into the future of the Legion. However, you also understand that this means making huge changes to our traditional brotherhood model. Whether the brothers can accept this requires careful consideration."
Loken quickly responded, "My lord, I understand this suggestion is quite shocking, but the current situation in the sector is complex and volatile. We must make changes to better meet the challenges and ensure the glory and development of the Legion. I believe that as long as we explain the interests involved to our brothers, they will understand."
Shadow Moon Wolf nodded slightly. "Leave the report here for now. I'll study it carefully. In the meantime, please keep quiet. Wait until I've fully considered the matter and make a decision."
Locke bowed and left the command room with a mixture of trepidation and anticipation.
The core of Loken's Legion proposal is to make in-depth changes to the existing structure and operation mode of the Luna Wolves Legion in order to cope with the increasingly complex interstellar situation.
Horus looked over the reports, and the suggested changes.
First, in terms of the command system, Locke proposed to build a more hierarchical and professional command network.
Although the current brotherhood model maintains strong cohesion through close camaraderie, in large-scale, multi-front operations, the decision-making process sometimes becomes slow due to excessive emphasis on consensus among members.
Therefore, Locke advocated the establishment of clear command levels, with different levels corresponding to specific decision-making powers and command scopes.
For example, in a large-scale battle, senior commanders formulate the overall strategy, while the specific tactical execution is handed over to mid-level commanders with expertise in various tactics. Lower-level commanders focus on leading small teams to complete the mission details.
In this way, decisions can be made more quickly and scientifically, avoiding delays caused by differences of opinion.
Secondly, regarding the training of new recruits and talent development, Locke believes that more diversified and refined plans should be implemented.
Previous recruit training focused on general combat skills, but Loken realized that in the development of star regions, different planetary environments and enemy characteristics required soldiers to have specific skills.
Therefore, he suggested that after basic training, recruits should be divided into different professional training directions according to their talents and specialties. For example, recruits who are good at long-range combat should enter special training in sniping and heavy fire support, while those with excellent physical fitness and outstanding close combat ability should undergo assault and infiltration combat training.
At the same time, a complete talent selection mechanism has been established, from the recruit company to each large company, to continuously discover soldiers with leadership potential and special talents, and to replenish fresh blood for the corps' command level and special operations units.
Furthermore, in terms of combat coordination, Loken emphasized strengthening the coordinated training between the major companies and with the mortal auxiliary forces.
He discovered that in actual combat, there was sometimes a lack of coordination between the various companies, and there were also many problems with the coordinated operations between the mortal auxiliary forces and the main legion.
To solve these problems, Locke suggested regularly organizing cross-Dalian joint exercises to simulate various complex combat scenarios and strengthen communication and collaboration capabilities among the companies.
For the mortal auxiliary troops, in addition to improving their basic combat skills, professional legion soldiers should be arranged to provide them with tactical guidance so that they can better integrate into the overall combat system of the legion and play a greater role.
However, this set of suggestions, seemingly intended to enhance the Legion's combat effectiveness, fundamentally conflicted with the Brotherhood model cherished by Abaddon.
The fraternity model emphasizes equality and friendship among members, and the decision-making process focuses on broad participation and consensus. However, Locke's proposal has broken this balance to a certain extent, introducing more levels and professional divisions of labor, which will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the fraternity's original close relationships and operating methods. It can be said that these two models are incompatible.
Horus, the master of the Luna Wolves, fell into deep thought after carefully studying Loken's plan.
It has to be admitted that the model proposed by Locke has incomparable advantages from the perspective of long-term strategy and coping with complex situations.
It has built a more efficient, professional and adaptable system for the ever-changing interstellar warfare, as if pointing out a more stable route for the legion in the chaotic universe.
The Primarch was also clearly aware that there was an irreconcilable contradiction between this plan and the brotherhood model that the Legion had always adhered to.
The brotherhood model is a bond based on deep friendship and equal cooperation among members. It gives the legion unparalleled cohesion and the trust of life and death among soldiers.
However, Locke's new model emphasizes a hierarchical command system and refined professional division of labor, which will undoubtedly break the relatively equal power structure and cooperation mode under the brotherhood model.
In the past, he was accustomed to using his prestige and wisdom to mediate when the members of the Council of Four Kings each had their own opinions and made radical suggestions, and to find a path that took into account the interests of all parties and the overall development of the Legion.
But this time, faced with the conflict between Loken's plan and the Brotherhood's model, he found himself in a dilemma.
These two models are like two huge ships heading in opposite directions, and it is difficult for them to sail side by side on the same course. As the navigator, he must make a difficult choice.
If Loken's model is chosen, although it will make the Legion more competitive in future interstellar wars, it may hurt the deep feelings between the warriors based on the brotherhood model, causing internal turmoil and dissatisfaction.
However, if the Legion continues to stick to the Brotherhood model, in the increasingly complex and dangerous star zone environment, it may gradually fall into a passive position in strategic layout and tactical execution, and be unable to cope with the endless challenges.
The Primarch sat on the spacious chair, gazing at the legion's battle flag hanging on the wall of the command room, and fell into long contemplation, trying to find even a glimmer of possible balance and turning point between these two seemingly irreconcilable modes.
At the Luna Wolves' training grounds, the brand-new recruit company had designated this area as their exclusive training ground. Loken had specially hired Terran-born Wolves as instructors, and these instructors bustled around the grounds, guiding the new recruits through various training sessions.
Locke stood quietly by, watching the scene on the training ground, and fell into silence.
At this moment, a Terran-born Luna Wolf approached Loken and whispered, "It seems our expectations of the Gene-Father were too high. When we Terrans discussed our proposals for the Legion, we deliberately devised this plan, specifically targeting his so-called Brotherhood model and creating a strong division. Now it seems there's no room for easing the tension."
Loken nodded slightly and said helplessly, "But our Gene Father has truly opened our eyes. He actually plans to implement two management systems within one legion."
The Terran-born Luna Wolf echoed, "As expected, the Primarch is still the Primarch after all. His actions are always unexpected."
After all, in everyone's perception, if a legion implements two management systems at the same time, it is undoubtedly sowing the seeds of division.
The two systems represent completely different concepts and modes of operation, just like two rivers that are difficult to converge. Forcing them to run parallel will only lead to conflict and chaos.
Whether the Moon Wolves' decision was a bold innovation after careful consideration, or would it push the Legion into the abyss of division, everything was full of unknowns, making everyone present worried.
Loken and the Terran-born Luna Wolf exchanged a glance, both of their eyes filled with worry.
"How should the soldiers below adapt to these two management systems running in parallel?"
Locke muttered to himself, "Under the Brotherhood model, everyone is as close as brothers, and fighting relies on the camaraderie of life and death. But the new system emphasizes hierarchy and division of labor, which will alienate the relationship between brothers."
"Yes," the Terran-born Luna Wolf sighed, "We used to be united, but now we're going our separate ways. If this continues, I'm afraid there will be cracks within the Legion."
At this time, the recruits on the training ground seemed to sense a strange atmosphere.
During breaks in training, some new recruits secretly glanced at Loken and the Terran-born Luna Wolf, wondering in hushed tones if something big had happened.
"Keep training, keep fighting! Don't stop!" Loken shouted, his voice echoing across the training grounds. Under his supervision, the new recruits, in pairs, armed with training weapons, engaged in intense close combat training.
Locke shuttled between the recruits, paying close attention to their movements and correcting their posture from time to time, "Pay attention to your steps, keep your center of gravity stable, and punch with power!"
……
"A hundred battles, a ...
The passionate slogans resounded throughout the camp, as if they were about to break through the sky.
Abaddon's love for the Brotherhood, or rather the Brotherhood, is deep-rooted, and not without reason.
Brotherhood is undoubtedly the most distinctive feature of the 16th Legion.
It is like a flag, embodying the strength and faith of the legion soldiers.
The roots of this characteristic are deeply rooted in Ksonia.
In that land, gangs are rampant, but in the chaos, brotherhood is like a bright light, illuminating people's way forward.
In the streets and alleys, people support each other for survival, and this deep friendship becomes stronger in the midst of war and conflict.
The 16th Legion seems to be the continuation of the spirit of Ksonia.
From the moment the warriors are recruited, the ideals of brotherhood are woven into their blood.
The soldiers are not only comrades-in-arms, but also brothers who share life and death.
In the brutal interstellar war, they trusted each other and fought back to back. With this indestructible friendship, they defeated powerful enemies time and time again, writing the glorious record of the 16th Legion.
Every battle is a testimony to the brotherhood; every victory makes this friendship more unbreakable.
In Abaddon's eyes, the Brotherhood is the soul of the 16th Legion and the source of its invincible power.
The origin of the slogan "Victory in every battle" is a little vague in the Legion's memory. It seems that it has been echoing on the battlefield with every victory since long ago.
Now, whenever Abaddon triumphs in single combat or leads his legions to victory on the battlefield, the unified cry of "Victory!" resounds like thunder.
This slogan is indeed deeply rooted in people's hearts, but after a long time, some people began to wonder if it was time for something new.
After all, the glory of the Legion is far more than what can be fully captured by the four words “victorious in every battle”.
Some suggested calling out "Abaddon, the Vanguard of Defeating the Enemy, Forging Eternal Glory," highlighting Abaddon's image as always leading the charge in battle, guiding the Legion to everlasting glory. Others suggested "Abaddon Leads, the XVI Legion, Dominates the Stars," emphasizing Abaddon's leadership and the Legion's ambition to dominate the vast interstellar space.
An inseparable connection seems to have formed between "Invincible" and Abaddon.
Abaddon has led the Legion to victory countless times with his outstanding combat prowess and leadership charisma, and this slogan is like his exclusive medal.
Whenever they shouted "Victory in every battle", the soldiers would think of Abaddon's heroic figure on the battlefield and the Legion's glorious moments of victory.
Therefore, even if you want to find a novel slogan, it is not easy to completely get rid of the connection with Abaddon. After all, he is the symbol of the Legion's victory and the best interpreter of "victory in every battle."
……
In the eyes of the Luna Wolves and even many other factions, dislike for the Ultramarines is a long-standing one.
In their view, the Ultramarines seemed to be missing a vital soul quality: brotherhood.
Although the Ultramarines Legion led by Guilliman is a model in many aspects, such as military system and organizational structure, and is regarded as an object of study and reference by many legions, the unique model of brotherhood has never appeared in the Ultramarines.
This was really difficult to understand in Abaddon's eyes.
Chapter 324: Playing cards with super powers, can you afford it?
Aboard the majestic Macragge's Glory, Guilliman gazed silently at the swords and scabbards, pens and branches, all safely stored away.
These seemingly ordinary objects actually contain unknown secrets and potential threats.
Before this, he had solemnly promised his sisters that he would keep these items carefully.
