Warhammer: I don’t want to be a can of worms! ! !

Endurance, Space Marine personal quarters.

Now.

.

In the dark room, red light flickered, and on the clock on the other side of the door, the time jumped to "3:48."

Hades was lying on the bed, but he did not fall asleep. He was still thinking about the scene just now in his mind.

The scythe brought by the Custodes and Sisters of Silence

What Hades is sure of is that the scythe is definitely related to the "Untouchables".

My own black domain flowed into that giant scythe so easily

Is this probably a weapon specially made for the untouchables?

The huge and heavy scythe, even Hades, who was considered a big man among the Space Marines, had a little trouble cutting with it.

Not to mention the Sisters of Silence. Although they are also excellent warriors, this giant scythe is obviously not something that ordinary people can use.

As for Hades's recent encounter with the Sisters of Silence, he was also a little confused. His black domain did not seem to be something like the "silent field" they created.

But if he is not untouchable, how can we explain Hades's physique?

However, the Emperor had given Hades a scythe that was clearly targeted at his physique, obviously understanding Hades' physique.

So I guess I am an untouchable mutant!

That's right! That's it!

Hades, who couldn't think of a reasonable explanation at all, was giving up on himself——

Don’t think about things you can’t figure out anymore.

The giant scythe given by the emperor actually gave Hades a layer of insurance, letting him know that he was not dangerous and had not been messed with by Chaos.

He can use his black domain without worrying about the conspiracy of Chaos.

As for the scythe, Hades thought that although his black domain could not break through his body surface at present, with the help of this scythe, he could extend his black domain and achieve the effect of suppressing psykers or subspace.

In fact, when he first realized that his black domain could not break through the body surface, Hades had a weird scene in his mind of expanding the black domain to the body surface, and then holding the opposite psyker in hand-to-hand combat to suppress the psychic energy. .

So weird

Hades felt goosebumps rising.

At four o'clock, the lights in the room naturally turned on. Hades put aside his previous thoughts, got up and put on his daily combat uniform, preparing to start the first day of training.

Although he had not slept all night, his modified body was not sleepy at all, but instead was a hundred times more energetic.

Hades went out, and a man wearing mk2 power armor was standing at his door.

The white-green power armor is criss-crossed with ceramic vermicelli strips. Although it has been integrated into the armor, it occasionally flashes a luster that is different from the overall armor as it moves.

The veteran standing in front of Hades was obviously a head taller than the other people passing them in the corridor, but still slightly shorter than Hades.

"Follow me, I'll take you to receive armor."

The veteran's angry voice came out of the helmet. Hades was stunned and found that the translator in the helmet converted the other party's language into Barbarian.

After that, the veteran took Hades and started to follow the flow of people.

Alas. You haven't told me what your name is yet?

Hades followed the veteran closely. He looked around and found that the layer he was on was filled with power armor similar to the veteran.

In other words, Hades is the only new recruit on this level? !

what is going on?

Hades thought silently.

Endurance, Space Marine Armor Room.

Now.

.

The originally bright armor room was now as dim as night, with only the star candles lit by the servitor lighting up the hazy room.

Servants were busy moving around the room, using candles to surround a low circular platform in the center of the room.

In a little while, the new recruit will come over to receive his armor.

In the darkest part of the room, the seventh company commander Jia Luo was wearing power armor and motionless.

Hopefully the recruits he picks don't disappoint him.

The Twilight Raiders, who had not yet recovered the original body at first, would be deliberately reduced in strength in the middle and late stages of the Great Crusade until the original body returned.

When Mortarion took over the Twilight Raiders, there were more than 70,000 Twilight Raiders in total.

The transformation of Barbarus recruits is also in full swing. Relying on the genetic seeds saved previously, a total of 30,000 Barbarus recruits have been successfully transformed.

If you look at the number of people alone, there are about two veterans and one recruit in each company.

But this is not the case. Leaving aside special warriors such as Fearless, Technical Sergeants, Think Tanks, and Pharmacists who cannot bring in new recruits, the number of new recruits each company is willing to accept is also very different.

After Mortarion's reorganization, the Death Guard currently has seven companies. Each company is composed of several brigades, each with 700 men, and a brigades are divided into seven squadrons.

The number of people in each Dalian company is also very different, and the 70,000 people are not simply divided equally into these companies.

The first company led by Balazin had a large number of people, reaching more than 20,000 people.

The second company has a smaller number of people, only more than 7,000 people.

The next few companies also have different numbers.

But the seventh combat company led by Jialuo was the company with the smallest number of people.

There are only two brigades with more than 1,400 people.

When assigning new recruits to the training companies, Mortarion gave full authority to Barazin.

The trained recruits will not directly serve in the company. After passing the recruitment period, they will have the right to re-select the company to which they belong.

Although there is a high probability that the recruits will stay in the training company.

Mortarion's move was based on the attitude of each company.

The company commanders also knew this very well.

Balazin, the commander of the first company, first recruited 15,000 recruits, and the second company only received 500 recruits.

After this,

The third company consisted of 4,500 men.

The fourth company consisted of 4,500 men.

Fifth Company, 2,500 men.

Sixth company of three thousand.

When the recruitment list was transferred to Jialuo, all the new recruits had been allocated.

Of course Jia Luo knew the good intentions of his comrades.

The Seventh Company was originally the most special branch of the Twilight Raiders. Only veterans who had experienced hundreds of battles, crawled out of the dead countless times, and were the most loyal to the Emperor would be approved by the original company to join the Seventh Company.

Therefore, some veterans in the 7th Company reacted more and more violently to the return of the original body. Garro has received death mission requests more than once.

In the eyes of other company commanders, it was impossible for such a company to accept new recruits. Therefore, they divided the recruit quotas in advance like a rush, and then smiled apologetically at Jialuo.

But Garro was not who they imagined and was disgusted by the return of the original body.

He was the Emperor's sword, and if the Primarch could use his power to its fullest, Garro would offer his loyalty to the Primarch.

They are all fighting for the Emperor, and they should not have other distractions.

For the Emperor.

Jia Luo once again subconsciously chanted silently.

For the sake of the Emperor, he needed to lead the 7th Company to its maximum effectiveness even after the Primarch's return.

If we rashly introduce new recruits who are not strong in combat and do not respect the veterans, the Seventh Company will definitely be dissatisfied. However, if no new recruits come in, subsequent recruitment will be difficult. A tree without roots is not a long-term solution.

During the recruits' transformation surgery, Gallo has been tracking the performance of each recruit with good numerical values ​​on Barbarus.

"Seventh Company, two."

Gaara spoke.

The other company commanders looked at Jialuo in surprise.

When Barasin reported to Mortarion the number of recruits in each company, Mortarion, who was reconstructing and analyzing the war records, seemed to be listening quite indifferently.

The number of recruits in each company was about the same as he thought.

until--

"Seventh Company, two."

Mortarion raised an eyebrow.

Little information:

The Death Guard's strength in the early stages of the Horus Heresy should have been around 9.50,000, which was considered a relatively small legion. (This is also related to their constant war of attrition)

Then in the later stages of the Great Crusade, the legions that have not found the original body will appropriately reduce their troops while retaining the gene seeds.

So I made an estimate. At present, the number of veterans is about 70,000, and then the new recruits explode, adding about 30,000. On average, two veterans lead one recruit.

But there are warriors such as fearless, company commanders, technical sergeants, pharmacists, and think tanks who cannot bring in new recruits. In fact, one recruit can't be divided into two veterans.

Moreover, my private setting is that each company is assigned a different number of Barbarus descendants. In fact, this is also the case in the original book. (It’s okay, you can re-split later)

Before the Great Rebellion, the Death Guard had the most Barbarians in the First Company, while the Second Company, the Fifth Company, and the Seventh Company had the least.

Among them, the Seventh Company has almost no Barbarus descendants. The combat company is full of the fiercest Terran ruthless people, and they are also a relatively exclusive group.

The structural framework of the Death Guard is

Legion - Company - Brigade - Squadron - Squad.

(I really couldn’t find the structural framework of the Death Guard before the Horus Heresy, so I pushed back one using the Plague Company framework after the Death Guard was cast n.)

Other legions are legion-station regiment-battalion-company-platoon-squad.

Mortarion directly cut off the upper two levels and set the full strength of each company at 70,000, but this number has never been reached.

Sorry, I'm going to take some liberties as to the exact number of Death Guard companies.

I'm not good at math, so let's have some fun.

The number of Death Guards has always been small. For comparison, the Ultramarines and Word Bearers in the same period both had more than 200,000, while the Death Guard only had 9.50,000.

(There is nothing we can do. We are constantly fighting meat-and-grind wars, and the conscripting planet is not strong enough.)

Then I'm going to start adding original legion characters, I'm very sorry.

Happy reading(_)
