Warhammer 40: My Fiancée Fulgrim

Their destiny should be to die on the battlefield or return in glory.

Instead of building some futile Maginot Line in this godforsaken place!

When have these old Terran people ever suffered such injustice!

Company Commander Kasoron looked up at the sky obscured by poisonous clouds.

Presumably, the fierce battle to annihilate the Dalits had already begun by this time.

And he, Company Commander Julius Casolon, if Horus hadn't transferred them to the rear to take care of this fool, Casolon.

He will, as always, lead his team to board the flagship of the strongest and most powerful enemy alien, wielding his Shanabal saber, and engage in a one-on-one duel with the enemy's most formidable leader!

"Come on, coward, draw your weapon!"

"Our duel will be recorded in history from this moment on!"

And so, the valiant Kasoron turned the tide of the battle by successfully beheading the enemy leader!

Upon his triumphant return, he will be received and highly praised by Horus, the god-like Primarch!

At that time, even Fugrim will be amazed by his formidable combat abilities and regret his blindness in entrusting command to an incompetent and immoral idiot like Kasgar.

Not him, the talented and virtuous company commander!

Then, in order to reward his illustrious military achievements—

Fugrim will personally craft him a suit of armor and weapons as perfect as Kasgar's!

Wow!

How awesome that would be!

Hehehehehe.

At that time, he will definitely wear this dazzling and magnificent armor and thoroughly despise that incompetent Casca!

snort!

Thirty years east of the river (referring to the Milky Way), thirty years west of the river!

Don't underestimate the poverty of veterans!

"Company Commander, your scheduled one-hour rest period in Terra has ended."

Unfortunately, Kasoron didn't get to experience his opponent's exasperation.

It's all the fault of the mech servant beside me, which cut off the connection at the most crucial moment.

He shook his head and looked around at the makeshift tents they had set up.

wake up.

"I'm coming right now."

It's time to continue applying the ash.

Ugh, how could Casca be so mean!

"report!"

Before Kasoron could even curse in his mind, a mortal officer ran up from a distance.

The other person was of normal human height and wore a standard military uniform brought from Chemos. He looked quite tall and handsome.

Their mortal auxiliary commanders of the Third Legion were chosen by Fugrim and Kasgar from Chemos's guard to join the expeditionary auxiliary force.

"Lord Kasolon."

"If needed, Commander Casca will send us to assist in the construction of the fortifications."

Unlike the Space Marines clad in power armor, this mortal support sergeant only had a gas mask that could filter the air.

The climate of Silent Star is hot and humid, even at the poles.

Even from a great distance, Kasoron could see the other man's shirt, which was soaked with sweat.

"you?"

"Aren't mortal auxiliary troops also supposed to participate in building fortifications? Don't you have your own?"

"Sir, the outermost layer of defensive fortifications we arranged has been basically completed."

"As requested by the Casca chief, we will provide support for the unfinished fortifications at our base."

As he spoke, he rummaged around for a while and then handed a pair of binoculars to Kasoron.

In the distance reflected in the mirror, countless ordinary people were still working hard around the heavy fortress made of fine steel at the center.

Judging from their construction progress, it should be completed soon.

So fast?

The experienced company commander, Kasoron, was somewhat surprised.

Honestly, these ordinary auxiliary troops, who are often overlooked, are usually the first wave of cannon fodder for their Space Marines on the battlefield.

On the one hand, it can probe the opponent's tactical configuration and advantages, and on the other hand, it can protect the precious Space Marines.

Furthermore, the Great Expedition connects so many Imperial worlds and hives that the forces that can be recruited are virtually limitless.

Therefore, this cannon fodder tactic is generally very effective.

However, in contrast, the mortal auxiliary army suffered from an extremely high casualty rate and very low morale.

Cannon fodder, as long as they can be used.

In this situation, unless one is a fanatical religious madman who has secretly joined an underground "Emperor Worship Cult,"

However, the fact that these ordinary auxiliary troops did not slack off already makes them a high-level force.

Not to mention that after completing their own tasks in extremely harsh weather conditions, they still have to come and help them continue construction.

Kasoron must have felt somewhat ashamed.

If even a mortal support army lacking the support of power armor can do this, then it's truly shameful that this self-proclaimed noble son of an emperor would despise the lowliness of the work and refuse to take action.

But why is it that the mortal auxiliary army has such high morale?

It's most likely that Casca brainwashed them!

Looking again at his Chemos-style clothing, Kasoron gradually found the answer in his mind.

Casca, you seem to be going against the true principles of the Empire!

Having experienced countless battles, he often encountered this situation: among the enemies of certain human pocket empires, there were often such religious fanatics.

Shouting 'Gods and Emperors,' they launched a frenzied, suicidal charge against them, offering everything for the gods they spoke of.

They did it all so that they could return to their false god after death.

So ridiculous.

Unlike the human empires whose imperial truth pervades the galaxy.

Such fanatical religious ideas could never survive under the official control of a human empire.

"So, why do you all listen to that Casca guy?"

"It's one thing for Lord Fugrim to like him, but why are you all willing to risk your lives for him to this extent?"

"Commander Kasoron, this is a question that almost everyone in Chemos gets asked."

The mortal auxiliary sergeant seemed to have anticipated the question and answered with a smile.

"I think that when the aliens invade, our actual combat experience will be more convincing than dry words."

"Do you really believe there will be an alien invasion here?"

Kasoron pointed in bewilderment at the teleportation portal that had been dormant for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years.

"How could something like this be possible—"

Just as he was getting angry and trying to refute these fanatical Casca followers...

The portal lit up.

Chapter 37 The Battle to Defend Silent Star (Part 1)

In the incredulous eyes of Company Commander Kasoron, the portal, which had been silent for countless years, suddenly emitted a bright light.

Something is coming out of the portal!

"It's an alien! An alien warship!"

The cacophony of noise suddenly filled the entire Silent Star camp.

No one would have imagined that their luck would be so bad.

Just days after the main force of the expeditionary fleet left, it was attacked by aliens.

Let's take a look at the troops Horus left them.

One Luna-class cruiser, five hundred sons of the Emperor.

There are also several powerful Macado-class heavy tanks.

Haha!

We're doomed to lose!

Kasoron smiled with relief.

But that's not necessarily true!

What if the alien that comes out of this portal is very weak, and they can easily deal with it?

Right, what if?

Kasoron's last glimmer of hope vanished completely when he saw the alien warship stretching for kilometers beyond the portal.

"This is really the end."

"coming."

"Inform our warships to retreat immediately and avoid conflict."

"Notify all the detachments under our jurisdiction to return to the first defensive fortification built at the foot of the mountain and prepare to fight the enemy."

"Chemos Guard, deploy automated flying mechs."

"The Fifth Company of the Son of the Emperor has returned. Notify the Mechanic Church's base to evacuate personnel."

In a Space Marine Chapter, the 5th Company is usually a combat company, while scouts are usually the 10th Company.

But the sons of emperors are different.

They only had five companies.

It's not even as good as a warband.

Kasgar was directing the deployment of troops below through the communications equipment.

Although he may not have much combat experience by the standards of a typical Space Marine, others undergo Space Marine training in their youth, but he is different.

He had actually led troops on Chemos for thirty years and studied command with Fugrim for thirty years.

In fact, almost all officials of the human empire misunderstood one thing.

The reason why Chemos has no army but only guards is not because Fugrim's excellent diplomatic skills have won over all the forces on the planet.

Instead, those forces that refused to be won over were permanently wiped out by Casca and his Chemos Guard.

"Finally, remember to send a communication signal to those aliens. It would be best if we could resolve the issue through negotiation and cooperation."

"complete."

“You forgot to notify Horus’s expeditionary fleet to return and provide support, Casca.”

As Casca's last call ended the communication, Aqua spoke up to remind him.

"Return to provide support?"

"Why is the expeditionary fleet returning to provide support? Teacher, you don't think we can't handle the enemy, do you?"

Aqua hesitated for a moment before nodding.
