Chapter 531 Choice
"An Emperor-class battleship, a battle barge, three strike cruisers, and dozens of frigates and destroyers—these are the generous rewards we've received after choosing to serve the great Star Lord!"
Tiberus's face was as calm as water, and he stared calmly at Garland and the other five people in front of him, slowly describing the benefits brought by the surrender of the Carcharodon Regiment.
Although his tone seemed unusually calm, these words were like a bolt of thunder across the sky, instantly changing the expressions of Garland and the other four comrades drastically.
They looked at each other with indescribable astonishment on their faces. At this moment, they didn't even know what expression to use to face Tiberus and others.
The words that I wanted to continue questioning seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, stuck in my throat and I couldn't spit them out.
Their Carcharodon Legion has been in poverty for thousands of years since its establishment, and the entire legion only has one battle barge and two strike cruisers as its assets.
No one expected that just by surrendering to the great Lord of the Stars, Tiberus would obtain an Emperor-class battleship, a battle barge, three strike cruisers, and dozens of frigates and destroyers. This was a rich fortune that no one had ever dared to imagine.
After a long while, Kurland finally recovered and stammered, "Even if it's just an Emperor-class battleship, can we so rashly betray our loyalty to the Emperor?"
Before anyone else could respond to Kurland's question, Tiberius immediately threw out an even more shocking revelation:
"Not only that, the Space Marines of our Carcharodon Chapter have now been allowed to expand to 5,000. Furthermore, all subsequent Astartes transformation surgeries and the extremely precious gene-seed will be fully supplied by the great Star Lord!
We can also have a million-man mortal auxiliary army, each of which is equipped with power armor, power weapons, and powerful individual weapons."
Tiberus' words seemed to turn into an extremely ferocious hammer, smashing down on the heads of the five people present with the force of thunder!
This blow was as heavy as a mountain crushing an egg, rendering them speechless in an instant, unable to utter even a single word to express their opposition.
"Forget it... forget it. After all, you are now the Chapter Master of the Carcharodon. The decisions you make are of supreme authority and decisiveness."
Garland muttered bitterly. His voice sounded filled with helplessness and loss, like a withered flower blown by a strong wind.
When Tiberus described the current powerful strength, vast resources and staggering wealth of the entire Carcharodon Legion, these astonishing statistics flooded Garland's originally determined heart like a tide.
The once awe-inspiring captain could only remain silent at this moment, because he knew that in the face of such a powerful reality, all his arguments seemed so pale and powerless.
Tiberus stared quietly at Garland and the other five people who were no longer accusing him angrily. As time passed, the air around them seemed to freeze.
After a long time, he finally broke the silence and slowly continued:
"If you still have feelings for the Empire and desire to continue to serve the Emperor loyally, then I am willing to let you leave.
From now on, there will be no more ties between us, and no one owes anyone anything."
Hearing this, El, who was standing nearby, became extremely anxious. He stared at Tiberus with wide eyes and a look of astonishment, and shouted anxiously:
"Master, please reconsider! The five Garland seniors are the core and most important spiritual pillars of our Carcharodon Regiment!
How could you say such words to seniors like Garland? I really can't understand why you suddenly made such a decisive decision!"
"Master Captain." The others looked at Tiberius anxiously and puzzledly, and began to admonish Tiberius.
I don't understand why Tiberus did this. Garland and others are all veterans of the Carcharodon Regiment, and the honor that the Carcharodon Regiment has will fall on everyone.
"Don't say any more. I will make my own decision." Tiberus said in a deep voice and waved his hand to everyone, asking them not to say anything more.
"Oh!" El looked at the resolute look of Tiberus in front of him and couldn't help but sigh deeply.
He opened his mouth to say something to refute the other party, but in the end he just shook his head helplessly, choosing to remain silent and never speaking out again to oppose any decision made by Tiberus.
The expressions of Garland and the other five people standing aside turned extremely ugly in an instant. Their hearts seemed to be entangled by two huge forces pulling at each other, making their emotions always in a dilemma and erratic state.
On the one hand, they are proud of the powerful strength displayed by the Carcharodon Legion today; but on the other hand, they feel helpless and heartbroken about the cruel reality that the Carcharodon Legion has already betrayed the Empire.
However, when Tiberus spoke these words, Garland and others immediately understood the true intentions of the current leader of the Carcharodon Legion.
At this moment, Tiberius was forcing them to make an extremely difficult choice between loyalty to the Empire and following the entire Carcharodon Legion.
If they resolutely choose to continue to be loyal to the Empire, then there is no doubt that the entire Carcharodon Warband will sever all ties with them and become strangers;
On the contrary, if they willingly choose to follow the footsteps of the Carcharhinus and embark on this path of rebellion, it means that from this moment on, they will completely betray the empire they once swore to protect and become one of the traitors.
"Alas! Tiberus, now you are the commander of the entire Carcharodon Regiment. I hope the choice you make is right." Garland sighed deeply.
He did not express his intention to continue to serve the Empire. It was obvious that Garland, the former chapter commander, was reluctant to leave the Carcharodon. Even if Tiberus and others chose to betray the Empire, he would continue to stand with the Carcharodon.
Seeing that Garland had made his choice, Kurland sighed weakly, "Alas!" and said no more.
Seeing that no one had chosen to remain loyal to the Empire, Tiberus smiled with satisfaction. He stood up and said loudly, "Welcome, seniors, to making the right choice."
"Pa pa pa!" The other Astartes officers saw the choice made by Garland and others, and applauded excitedly to welcome everyone.
