From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Since "you" want to escape, "I" will block you.

Respond to ever-changing situations with constancy.

After all, Perturabo's original intention was to rely on the 5,000 young Astartes in his hands, as well as heavy armored units such as Titans, Hunters and Mammoths, to completely wipe out the orc capital of Nekosis.

Now, “you” have actually given up the advantage of defending the city and chosen to take the initiative to attack. Isn’t this courting death?

That's why Perturabo keenly realized that behind the abnormal behavior of the orc army was the orc queen who wanted to take the opportunity to escape.

And if half of the young Astartes were dispersed, they would be enough to intercept the queen who was mixed in the orc army.

After the order is issued.

Perturabo saw through the holographic screen that more than 140 young Astartes were divided into 18 joint teams of people each.

In just a moment, the passages and caves leading to and from the city of Nekosis were occupied by the green-marked joint team.

As for the five main forces of the orc army, they are still advancing towards their five troops.

Of course, the main force of the orc army should be the bait used by the queen to exchange for freedom.

And it is a deadly bait.

After this period of confrontation, even though the orcs were much stronger than the humans on Sera, they understood that the only outcome of resisting the Astartes was to be "massacred."

There is not even the slightest strength left to resist.

What surprised the orcs most was that they had not succeeded in killing any Astartes since the confrontation.

At most, Astartes would be injured.

Most of the injured were radical Space Wolves.

As for injuries, it was mostly because the Space Wolves wanted to gain more merit, which led them to go straight into the core of the Ork army alone.

Faced with orcs that are a hundred times larger than themselves, it is inevitable that the Space Wolves will suffer some minor injuries.

In response, Perturabo sternly warned all Space Wolves to obey his orders and not act rashly.

If the loss of a young Astartes were to spread to the company and his brothers, it would have a serious impact on his reputation.

Being responsible for integrating the "Gears of War" universe is his "first show" as an adult.

If his debut was tainted by the loss of an Astartes, Perturabo might appear unperturbed on the surface, but deep down he would be resentful of the Space Wolves, and even of Riemann.

By the way, his favorability towards the Space Wolves has plummeted.

After the Empire was established and the Legion was acquired, the first thing Perturabo had to do was to reduce contact with the Space Wolves as much as possible.

He also planned to have a private conversation with his father to avoid any further cooperation with the Space Wolves.

Of course, Perturabo also understood that his request might make his father unhappy.

But his tolerance for the Space Wolves had almost reached its limit.

Fortunately, the Sons of Man, War Hounds, Dawn Raiders, and Raven Guard will carry out orders from beginning to end and rarely take radical actions.

Indirectly, Perturabo's attitude towards Fulgrim, Angron, Mortarion, and Corax also rose rapidly.

At least in his heart, Perturabo has already highly recognized these four Primarch brothers.

now.

After seeing 140 combined teams arrive at the designated area, and seeing that the Orc army was only a dozen kilometers away from where he was, Perturabo stood up and left his exclusive seat.

Open the gate above the main control room.

With the help of the suspended ladder, they left the Mammoth.

Then, Perturabo walked to the front of the team, holding a power hammer, looking directly at the entrance of the tunnel where the orcs were about to attack.

"Attention all."

At the same time, he continued to give orders on the communication channel:

"Be prepared for battle. I hope to annihilate the enemy completely and kill every scum that has harmed our fellow human beings!

No prisoners will be taken except for high-value targets!

The Biological Department has obtained enough living samples. Even the Rift Valley Worms, which are regarded as the incarnation of gods by the orcs, have been captured alive by us, so let go and destroy the enemies as much as you can!

For humanity! For the empire! "

"For humanity!"

"For the Empire!"

The metallic sound of war roars echoed throughout the huge underground cave.

After issuing the order, Perturabo also sent a message to all Space Wolves on their helmet screens, saying "Be sure to cooperate with your comrades and do not go deep into the enemy group."

It seems that this newly-adult Primarch is really "obsessed" with the Space Wolves.

"I'm afraid" that when the next battle starts, I will hear or see the news that "a Space Wolves member of a certain joint team was killed."

But at this point, Perturabo was worried and couldn't directly "control" the wolf, so he had to bite the bullet and quickly resolve the battle.

It won't take long.

Boom boom.

Perturabo felt the ground beneath his feet shake.

And the vibrations became more and more intense.

This means that the orc army responsible for attacking him will soon appear within visual range.

but--

Ri~whoosh——whoosh——!!!

However, before the Ork army appeared in the Primarch's sight, four Mammoths and a hundred Titan and Hunter main battle tanks launched an attack on the tunnel entrance ahead.

In an instant, Gauss ballistic missiles and plasma artillery shells emitting dazzling blue light passed over Perturabo and the Astartes and went straight into the depths of the tunnel.

Boom! Boom!!!

Immediately afterwards, the explosion caused even more violent tremors.

call--! !

Then there was a violent shock wave that instantly surged out of the tunnel and swept across the entire underground cave.

The dust and debris severely obstruct the view here.

But the terrifying red or green light emitted by Perturabo and Astarte's helmet eye monitors was particularly obvious in the thick fog of dust and debris.

Waited a little longer.

Perturabo swung the giant power hammer in his hand and pointed the hammer tip forward.

Clang—clang—!!

Then, there was the sound of bolter gunfire.

Explosive arrows of various types rushed out of the thick fog and landed straight and quickly on the orcs who had just rushed out of the tunnel.

Bang!Bang!

puff!puff!

In the blink of an eye, all the orcs who were the vanguard of the army exploded, and the smelly blood and broken limbs splattered on the spot.

But Perturabo, like the Space Wolves he hated, rushed into the midst of the Ork waves alone.

But the Primarch's strength is enough to ensure his own life safety.

Besides, no matter how much Perturabo hates the Space Wolves, he will never show it completely.

Leading by example can not only greatly improve one's own morale and prestige, but also speed up the efficiency of the troops in annihilating the orcs.

So why not?

When the company troops led by Perturabo officially started a battle with the main force of the Orc army, the joint team numbered "014" seemed a little "leisurely".

This combined team of the Sons of Man, Space Wolves, and Raven Guard were in charge of a small cave leading to the surface.

The eighteen young Astartes kept a safe distance of several dozen meters from each other, occupied advantageous positions, and were scattered in the current small cave.

Moreover, the captains of these three teams are Saul Tarvitz (Son of Man),

Logan Sigurd (Wild Wolf),

Alvarez Maun (Dark Raven).

This team numbered 014 can be said to be one of the most outstanding teams among all the joint teams.

When the front-line base was besieged by orcs, he had already killed countless enemies.

Later, he went deep underground according to Perturabo's orders, and accidentally discovered the Im Energy, which was closest to the front-line base, and successfully captured an orc officer.

After "patient interrogation" by the Biology Department, all the information about the city of Nekosis was "dug out" from the mind of the orc officer.

This allowed five thousand young Astartes, as well as Atlas' ground armored units, to pass unhindered through the core area of ​​the Orks.

Therefore, Squad 014 received more resources than other squads.

For example, upgrading the modules of Titanium Power Armor.

For example, the plasma shoulder cannon has high cost, strong stability and almost no risk of "barrel explosion".

Or more types of explosive bullets, as well as props and grenades with more functions.

At the same time, Perturabo also wrote these resumes into the files of everyone in Team 014.

Future members of the 014 team, after completing the transformation surgery when they reach adulthood, will most likely obtain the position of "Legislative Sergeant" and can lead a combat platoon consisting of 3 to 4 teams.

The lowest position of an Astartes in the Legion is a "legion member" who has just completed a transformation operation and needs to obey the orders of his superiors.

Equivalent to ordinary infantry, demolitionists or machine gunners, etc.

Next is the "Legion Captain", who can lead 6 to 10 "Legion Members".

Next up is the “Legion Sergeant”.

Further up is the "Legion Captain".

When it comes to the position of "Company Commander", it is impossible to count the number of combat platoons you can lead.

It could be the regular 3 to 4 battle platoons, or it could be more than 10 battle platoons.

The most important thing is that according to the legion concept sent by Sui Yang to each Primarch, it was directly stated in writing that the "Legion Captain" has the command of one or more warships.

In other words, the "Legion Captain" is able to independently launch small and medium-scale wars.

After all, the number of Astartes under the control of the "Captain" exceeds one hundred, or even one thousand.

In conjunction with the AECS that were collectively transformed into auxiliary military units, there were also a large number of logistics, ground crew, and ship crew members, etc.

If all members under his command are counted together, the number of people who directly obey the command of the "company commander" is at least more than 3.

Not to mention the clone soldiers, and the ready-made Terminators and Hunters.

It is true that the individual combat power of Astartes is strong, but if a hundred Astartes were sent directly to a planet occupied by the Covenant.

Then there is still a risk of being annihilated by the Covenant.

Because the Astartes need a large number of auxiliary personnel, ground armor, and a fleet in low-Earth orbit to play a real role.

No matter how strong they are, they cannot withstand the heavy bombardment.

Even if the biological weapons that have been strengthened and modified many times, that is, Homelander and Soldier Boy, are placed on the interstellar battlefield, they are unable to turn the tide.

Homelanders and Soldiers are more suitable for surprise attacks and sneak attacks behind enemy lines.

For example, the successful capture of most of the UNSC's senior officials directly accelerated the integration of the Halo universe.

As for the highest commander above the "Legion Captain", it will be the "Legion Primarch".

This is the legion planning route proposed by Sui Yang for each Primarch, which is slightly different from the Warhammer 40k that Sui Yang knows.

Of course, the Primarch can also open unique officer positions within the legion according to his own preferences and habits.

Therefore, if you can obtain the position of "non-commissioned officer" after officially joining the legion, it can be considered a very good path for promotion.

Besides, their legion, or cadet corps, still did not have any adult Astartes.

This means that as long as the transformation surgery is completed, there is a high possibility of obtaining the position of "Company Commander".

Therefore, Tarvitz, Logan, Maun and others also have gratitude towards Perturabo.

This gave Perturabo great prestige in the eyes of the current 5,000 young Astartes.

Although Perturabo has a strange personality, after Sui Yang's various corrections and the patient teaching of the Elf Queen Tinas, Perturabo is more than capable of using some "little tricks" to win people's hearts.

Even though Perturabo hated the Space Wolves, he did not treat them differently.

now.

"Ah, I feel a little sleepy."

Logan Sigurd complained on the 014 team's internal communication:

"The main players were fighting vigorously, but we could only stand still and defend stupidly.

Maybe the Primarch saw that we had gained too many merits and was worried that other teams would be unhappy, so he transferred us here?"

Perturabo did not inform the various teams that the Orc Queen might take the opportunity to escape.

After all, Perturabo was only relying on his own intuition, and was certain that the Orc Queen might take advantage of side roads and paths to escape.

Without confirmed intelligence, Perturabo would not issue a direct order.

However, Perturabo still issued instructions to the joint teams responsible for guarding the paths and trails to "defend them strictly."

What remains is to see which joint team will take over the Orc Queen.

"Stop complaining." Tarvitz replied directly:

"The Primarch has given orders, and of course there are reasons for that. We just need to execute them, and you don't need to think too much about it.

Instead of complaining, why don't you check your equipment? I feel bad for your gun and armor."

After several days of getting along and adjusting to each other, Tarvitz, the Son of Man, and Logan have become so close that they can even confront each other directly.

"Okay, you have a point."

Logan shrugged and actually followed Tarvitz's advice and checked his weapons and equipment again.

"."

As for Maun of the Raven Guard, he remained silent as usual and did not participate in the conversation.

Be patient and wait a little.

beep beep

Suddenly, a warning sound rang out on the helmet screen.

? !

Hearing the noise, Team 014 immediately became alert.

When they zoomed in on the map, they found densely packed "red dots" crossing the tunnel ahead, only about four kilometers away from the cave where they were.

Moreover, after scanning with metal detectors, the number of "red dots", or orcs, was at least over 30,000.

The most important thing is that the orc army that raided their location seemed to have no intention of fighting the main force at all, just like.

Want to run away directly?

After immediately understanding the logic of the orc army's behavior, Logan couldn't help but said excitedly:

"Ha! Finally a big fish has arrived!"
