Chapter 525 Selection
The entire camp seemed to be on fire, instantly engulfed in an intense and tense atmosphere. The crowd surged forward like a tide, each face brimming with eagerness and anticipation.
They flocked to the recruitment point of the Carcharodon Legion, with a burning flame in their hearts, that is to become a member of the Carcharodon Legion and obtain the coveted identity: Space Marine!
For ordinary people, Space Marines have always been a mythical existence that is out of reach. They possess strength, speed, and indomitable will beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
The legends about the heroic deeds and mysterious abilities of the Space Marines have long been passed down from mouth to mouth and are deeply ingrained in everyone's heart.
And now, such an opportunity that originally existed only in dreams is actually right in front of us. How can it not make people excited?
Even if I just had a brief fantasy in my mind that I could become an extremely powerful space warrior, I would feel that it was an unattainable luxury.
However, at this moment, the light of hope seemed to penetrate the fog and illuminate the road ahead. As long as he could be successfully selected into the Carcharodon Regiment, then the realization of his dream would be just a stone's throw away.
The temptation is so great that no one can easily resist it.
But what these people don’t know is that as long as they receive the gene vaccine injection and the genetic matching degree is met, they can not only become ordinary Space Marines, but they may even become more powerful Star Space Marines!
However, the defense soldiers would not actively reveal this information to these surrendered soldiers. After all, if everyone knew the truth, they would probably not be as enthusiastic as they are now in joining the various battle groups, which would also result in the battle groups not being able to fully staff.
In this surging crowd, Space Marines such as Tiberus recognized the talents and quickly recruited a group of extremely valuable technical talents.
These technical talents are truly the best of the best, and many of them are experienced naval and Astra Militarum officers. They strategize on the battlefield, relying on their excellent strategic vision and tactical skills to lead the Imperial forces to victory time and time again.
In addition, there are those who are proficient in the operation skills of various heavy equipment. Whether it is a tank, an airplane, or a transport ship, they can operate it with ease.
Due to their outstanding abilities and scarcity, such talents can be directly incorporated into the organization of the Carcharodon Regiment without going through a tedious selection process.
In contrast, ordinary soldiers in the Mortal Auxiliary Army are not so lucky. They must pass layers of strict screening and assessment before they have the opportunity to join the Man-Eating Shark Regiment.
The Carcharodon's fleet has now been greatly expanded. In addition to the existing fleet, an Emperor-class battleship has been added.
In addition, there is a battle barge, three strike cruisers, and dozens of frigates and destroyers of various sizes.
These newly added warships were not newly built, but were carefully modified before joining the Carcharodon, especially the battle barge and three strike cruisers, which originally belonged to the Astartes Chapters that were completely wiped out.
Since the Star Navy was not interested in these types of warships, they generously modified them and handed them over to the various regiments that surrendered voluntarily, and the Man-Eating Shark Regiment fleet became even more powerful.
Now the Sharknado Regiment has one Emperor-class battleship, two battle barges, five strike cruisers, twenty frigates of various types, and more than fifty destroyers. The entire regiment has seventy-eight warships, which is a scale that Tiberus could never have imagined.
As time slowly passed, every minute and every second seemed to stretch infinitely longer. As the long and meticulous screening process continued, the number of mortal auxiliary soldiers in this camp who had passed the preliminary screening and were eligible to join the Man-Eating Shark Warband had accumulated to a staggering 100,000.
An Astartes walked to Tiberus with steady and powerful steps, transmitted the data from his personal terminal to Tiberus, and reported in a low voice:
"Master, after our comprehensive and rigorous screening, the number of people in this camp who are interested and meet the requirements to join our Carcharodon Warband has now reached 100,000."
You have to know that this is the result of careful screening and selection of the best by many Astartes. If there were not such strict selection standards and procedures, I am afraid that the number of soldiers in this camp alone who are eager to join the Carcharhinus Legion would be enough to fill all the existing vacancies in the entire legion!
Tiberus frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on the screen of his personal terminal, which displayed a long string of numbers and personal information.
These soldiers who were about to become members of their regiment were all strong, well-trained elite warriors, but even so, he still showed dissatisfaction:
"One hundred thousand? That's too many. For the mortal auxiliary army, I only need the most elite ten thousand. As for the remaining vacancies, we will continue the selection process at the next camp."
Hearing this, the Astarte nodded and said, "Yes!" His attitude was serious and respectful.
This Astartes fully understood and knew how to accurately select the ten thousand most suitable candidates from the huge team of one hundred thousand people in front of him.
This tall and powerful Astartes warrior walked with firm and powerful steps straight towards the reserve camp of the carefully selected mortal auxiliary army.
He was like a moving mountain. Wherever he went, everyone felt an invisible pressure coming towards them.
When he stopped in front of this group of mortals, he shouted in a voice as loud as thunder:
"Listen up! There are 100,000 of you here now, but our Carcharodon Regiment only needs 10,000 warriors! Therefore, take off your power armor immediately and start a hand-to-hand combat!
Only the ten thousand who can finally stand firm are qualified to become a member of our Man-Eating Shark Regiment!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a commotion erupted in the crowd. Many people looked at the Astartes warrior in astonishment, their hearts filled with confusion and doubt.
Some of them couldn't help but ask, "What? Why is the selection process done this way? Shouldn't it be based on assessments of various military qualities and skills?"
They couldn't figure out why this selection was so special.
However, faced with these doubts, the Astartes showed no patience at all. They looked at the soldiers who raised questions with cold and majestic eyes, and shouted in unison:
"How dare you, a bunch of you, doubt our orders? Humph! In that case, unfortunately, you are all eliminated!
Remember, we, the Carcharodon, will never accept any rubbish who hesitates or has doubts about orders!"
As these angry shouts resounded throughout the venue, the faces of those soldiers who had originally held on to some hope turned pale in an instant.
They never imagined that just because of a question, they would lose this dream opportunity. At this time, the other soldiers who had not been eliminated finally woke up from their dreams.
