Chapter 282

The waves of cheers rose louder and louder, and lasted for a few minutes before subsiding gradually.

Marius stood up, walked up to Ren and said:

"you win."

His complexion is very complicated. He has never been defeated in the plateau for many years. Even when he encountered an overly powerful opponent or enemy when he was young, he could escape calmly. Unexpectedly, he was defeated by a young human in a head-on confrontation.

And he lost Makgora in front of all the clansmen.

"Your Excellency the patriarch has accepted." Ren saw that the other party was in a bad mood, so he said modestly.

"You don't need to comfort me with such words. If you lose, you lose. It is a fact that you are stronger than me." Marius was a little unhappy, and his voice was a little higher, but it affected the injury, and he felt that there was no place in his body. It doesn't hurt, it seems to be falling apart.

He glanced at Ren, there was not even a single scar on his skin, just like before the duel.

Just looking at the appearance of the state, it is clear at a glance who is strong and who is weak.

Ren smiled helplessly.

In fact, it was not easy for him to win, and it could even be said that it was more dangerous. After the duel, the battery of the mobile phone was only consumed by more than 30%, and most of the battery was used to repair the injury.

Without absorbing souls to replenish, his physical strength is actually not as good as Marius, who is close to the legendary middle-level.

If Marius's berserk lasted longer, if it dragged on for more than ten minutes, the outcome would be unpredictable.

Of course, winning is winning, and there is no need for redundant explanations.

Ren beckoned, and Sicarius, who was outside the duel circle, hurried over and returned the mithril necklace. He took out the clothes from the ring and put them on, and at the same time took out an intermediate healing scroll and opened it.

A burst of white light fell on Marius, quickly healing his injuries.

"Hoo...thank you."

The pain of Marius was greatly relieved, and while picking up the giant sword, he said: "I will inform you later, those who are willing to join the Ultramarines can sign up to the lord today."

Ren nodded happily. The patriarch is a cheerful person.

"However," Marius paused, "According to our previous agreement, you can only recruit twenty-nine clansmen this time. Whether you can expand the number in the future depends on the development of Astarte and the Lord Lord sincerity."

"I will let the patriarch and brothers see my sincerity." Ren replied seriously.

"hope so."

Marius said no more, turned and entered the Astartes.

Ren also opened any door and returned to the airship to rest.

Soon, news of the lord's recruitment of Ultramarines spread throughout the city. After a night of publicity and the just-concluded Makgora, many Macragges were yearning for it, and immediately ran to the airship to sign up.

In just half an hour, more than a hundred Macragges gathered outside the airship.

From young teenagers to strong old men, there are even a few female barbarians whose strength is not weaker than that of the men in the clan.

However, they don't have the primarch symbiosis talent, and they are destined not to become Ultramarines.

Ryan observed with the eyes of the soul, and most of the more than one hundred Macragges were mediocre, equivalent to elementary superhumans.

The Macragges are naturally brave, but that doesn't mean that each of them can reach the strength of a mid-level fighter.

Those Macragges who dared to leave the plateau to venture into the empire were the best among the tribe.

Ren secretly made statistics, and about a quarter of the adult Macragges are mid-level fighters, and the entire tribe does not exceed 300!

Those Macragges with average strength can only be regarded as low-level fighters.

They can also become extreme fighters, but they need to invest more soul power to reach the level of the first batch of extreme fighters.

Soul power is not easy to come by, and the number of places is limited.

Rennes must give priority to applicants with outstanding strength.

And not every middle-level fighter needs it. The overall folk customs of the Macragge people are simple and simple. Most people have no scheming and only seek power and glory. A guy who steals, rapes, and slips.

Ren asked a few casual questions, and he could tell the traitor at a glance.

After some screening, we eliminated those with bad intentions, and finally selected twenty-nine Macragges, all of whom were mid-level fighters, including the patriarch's guard named Dulan.

Ren didn't know what Dulan told Marius.

However, Marius obviously agreed, otherwise he would not take the initiative to dissolve the symbiotic relationship, making Dulan's strength drop from high-level to mid-level.

In addition to Dulan, there is another person who was also Marius' bodyguard.

When Ren was asking the question, the color of their souls was normal. It didn't look like the eyeliner that Marius sent to him on purpose, so he accepted it.

In the cargo hold of the airship, the recruited Macragges took turns swearing blood oaths of loyalty to Rennes.

"Loyalty is my life... I... under the witness of Gilliman, I dedicate my loyalty to Ren Augustus... always loyal and never betrayal!"

Blood oaths were completed one after another.

On Ren's soul world tree, leaves sprouted one after another.

Every ten leaves hang on the same branch, and finally reach six branches. The list of the avatars of the Ultramarines on the mobile phone interface is also constantly increasing.

After completing the blood oath, their bodies were strengthened and transformed, and their strength skyrocketed to a high level within a few minutes, equivalent to a seventh-level superhuman!

The new Ultramarines are all intoxicated by this powerful force, and the emotional ups and downs are violent.

Excitement, shock, and joy.

"Brothers, welcome to the Ultimate Battle Group!"

Sicarius and the other Ultramarines spoke happily, and then took out the prepared armor, giant sword and Rambo gun from the big box, helped them put them on, and taught them the skills to use them initially.

When the last Macragge became an Ultramarine, Ren's world tree was already flourishing, like a real big tree.

Surrounded by the Ultramarines, he closed his eyes slightly and remained silent.

The entire cargo hold fell silent.

"What is the boss thinking?"

"What's wrong?"

"By Gilliman! This power is too strong!"

"Haha, I finally became an Ultramarine, uh...why don't the boss and everyone talk? Did something happen?"

Dozens of voices sounded in Ren's mind, the voices of each symbiote gathered together, each voice had its own thoughts, noisy and chaotic, like countless mosquitoes buzzing in the ear, pervasive, always I kept interfering with my thoughts, and after listening to it for a few seconds, I felt a little restless, and I suspected that I would suffer from schizophrenia after listening to it for a long time.

This feeling is similar to the onset of the Blood Soul Curse, even a little bit more severe.

"I almost can't stand it..."

Ren supported his forehead, took a deep breath, focused his thoughts, and the leaves on the World Tree that represented the will of truth bloomed.

Immediately, these annoying voices were suppressed until they could not be heard.

But just a little distraction, the interference will appear again.

Fortunately, the will of truth is similar to a constant spell. It only needs to consume a little more soul power to maintain a higher state of protection, and it will not give the voice of the symbiont an opportunity to take advantage of it.

"alright!"

Ren clapped his hands, attracting the attention of all Ultramarines.

His gaze swept over sixty Ultramarines, all of whom were standing in the cargo hold. Everyone was wearing heavy armor, carrying giant swords and machine guns on their backs. Although the number of them was small, the power they exuded was no less than that of a complete Transcendent Legion!

These powerful and loyal subordinates will be the foundation of their own rise in the empire.

"First of all, welcome to the new brothers."

Ryan said happily, and made eye contact with the new members of the twenty-nine battle groups one by one.

Every Ultramarine who was seen by Renn's gaze held his head high and responded excitedly.

"In the short term, there should be no new brothers joining." Ren continued: "Our next arrangement is training. Everyone should familiarize themselves with their strength and weapons as soon as possible, and wait for the base on the plateau to be built. In the future, I will divide the brothers into five teams."

"Each team has twelve people, with a captain and a mentor."

The Ultramarines looked at each other. They had never heard of the position of mentor before.

Sicarius raised his hand and asked, "Boss, what does a mentor do?"

Ryan explained: "The captain and the mentor are at the same level. The captain is responsible for commanding combat operations and daily training. The duty of the mentor is to manage the team members' organizational life, psychology and beliefs. Of course, the most important thing is loyalty."

When it comes to faith and loyalty, everyone can't help but suddenly: "So it's a pastor."

Ren smiled playfully, without further explanation.

He is going to pick out five extreme fighters with thoughtful potential, train them (brainwash) them, and do the job that a mentor should do.

Rennes still has a lot of ideas about the Extreme Battle Group. Organizational establishment, weapons and equipment upgrades, tactical drills, etc., all need to be explored and practiced one by one.

The first priority, though, is to find a suitable base location.

Ren arranged a task for the Ultramarines to move down a dozen large boxes in the cargo hold, which contained the materials for building the teleportation array, and temporarily stored them in the warehouse of Astarte, and then sent people to guard them in turn.

The mission of the airship is over.

The next thing about building the base should not be known to outsiders. Ren asked Ysu, Sicarius and Tyrion to bring a few Ultramarines and escort the airship back to the empire.

The contract he signed with the Mechanics Union, after the airship returned to Mount Jubilee, he would not have to pay any more.

That afternoon, the airship left the Astartes.

Ren also jumped on the fire dragon and took off.

There were only four Ultramarines with them, and they sat on the back of the other Charmander, which was Cronuan's mount. The four of them have rich hunting experience, not only have a good understanding of the plateau environment, but also know the location of some flying dragon lairs.

"Where is our first destination?" Ren asked in mid-air.

Cronuan pointed to the northwest direction of Astarte, and replied loudly: "Boss, let's look there first. I remember that there are several hidden valleys that may meet the requirements of the boss."
