90: Chapter 90 Pharmacist

The Emperor's recruitment mission has been upgraded to "Make the Imperium of Man Great Again." Battle of Baal rating B detected, overall mission metrics are being re-evaluated at 5%.

Three months later, at the venue of the anti-war game promotional conference.

The host stood on stage, speaking passionately: "Ladies and gentlemen, we meet again! This promotional conference for the anti-war game, the qualifying round, will be more brutal than any previous one—so, are you ready?"

A wave after wave of deafening, excited cheers erupted from the audience. The host, likely unaccustomed to such a lively scene, stumbled slightly, but since he was on stage, he quickly regained his composure.

"Now, let us welcome the contestants to the stage! Furthermore, we have specially invited several important judges to critique our game entries this time!"

Spotlights suddenly shone on the judges at the front of the stage. As soon as these individuals appeared, gasps of astonishment rang out from the venue: "My god, the production team actually managed to invite these people!"

Yang Gao looked out and discovered that all the judges this time were key figures from previous years. However, when he looked at one of the judges, his expression immediately darkened—that person was none other than Long Aotian's brother, Long Aoguang.

The first few entries, as usual, lacked any highlights. But when it came to Yang Gao, he knew he had to drop something explosive. Otherwise, there was no guarantee that Long Aoguang wouldn't trip him up. Therefore, Yang Gao's brain raced. He had to give them something with heart.

You're the one: The Chapter Apothecary, the solid backbone of the Battle-Brothers.

At this moment, on the judges' panel, Long Aoguang was conversing with the other three judges.

"Teacher Ye, what do you think of the previous contestants' entries?"

"Yes, exactly. Teacher Ye Qiu, you are the top talent in the industry; your evaluation carries the most authority."

"Haha, Teacher Du Yu, you flatter me. It's all just praise from friends."

Long Aoguang was calculating in his mind how, at any cost, he would make Yang Gao lose his chance at future competitions. The spotlights dimmed, and three large characters appeared in the center of the screen: "Apothecary."

"Is 'Apothecary' that position held by the Ultramarine who sacrificed himself to protect Sakan's evacuation?"

"Most likely. Didn't you see that the equipment on him looks very similar to his?"

At this moment, on the battlefield.

"Kaelen, hurry! We don't have much time. Extract the gene-seed of our fallen Battle-Brothers, quickly."

The Astartes warrior named Kaelen used a Narthecium to precisely extract the gene-seed of his fallen brother. Afterward, he nodded to the Battle-Brother beside him, and the two retreated at high speed.

At this point, people also realized they were engaged in a war against the Tyranids. The narrator continued to explain: For an Apothecary, having the corpses of Battle-Brothers devoured by the Tyranids is a great shame. They will do their utmost to protect the remains of their Battle-Brothers from being desecrated.

"If it were me, I wouldn't be able to stand seeing the brother I fought side-by-side with being devoured by the enemy."

"Teacher Ye, what do you think?"

"Tying the war theme closely to the core of brotherhood reveals the humanity within war. Very good, very creative."

On screen, the Tyranids were feasting on the Astartes' corpses to obtain their genetic material. Kaelen and the other Battle-Brothers watched this scene with fury and launched a fierce attack against them.

"Damn xenos, cease your actions!" Countless bolter rounds slammed into the Tyranid Swarm. Immediately, the swarm that was devouring the Astartes was blasted back, barely managing to protect the remains of the Battle-Brothers.
