The Astartes Family's Notebook

Just then, the scorching plasma burst through the building walls, slowing down the Chaos Traitor's movements and opening an escape route for Kars.

Without hesitation, they pounced and ran away. The five annoyed members looked through the large hole in the wall, but then immediately retreated.

Ingus is the company champion.

He's here! He's here! The company champion is here with the stretcher team led by the fourth company commander!

"Strong, just how strong?"

Ingus's resentment was hidden by his tactical helmet. He made a harsh remark, but glanced at Kaz, who was not wearing a helmet, and ultimately swallowed his reprimand.

If you little brat ever hear my call or message, those five Chaos traitors will already be dead!

The battle in Chapter 43 ended seven seconds after it began.

Astartes only needs to fight normally, but the editing director has a lot more to consider.

-------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------

Battles between Astartes, real battles, not duels where one holds back, are usually very quick.

Because power armor protects against ordinary people, but not superhumans.

Just like how Astartes warriors rarely encounter equally matched opponents, they are basically either in crushing matches or in high-level matches, and the difficulty of the battles is either stomping noobs or being incredibly difficult.

Therefore, making a Space Marine battle highlight reel is really difficult; even watching it at 0.25x speed feels like fast-forwarding to a mortal.

The five guys from the Devourer Gang got together and decided they had to fight; they couldn't run away.

The three guys had already taken medication and warmed up; if they ran, their condition would only decline, while the opposing team hadn't taken any medication yet.

In terms of numbers, our own guild's reinforcements will arrive quickly, while even if the other side has another batch of reinforcements, it won't be as fast.

In terms of quality, the other side has a Terminator suit, and so do we. The other side has five people, and so do we. Among our five people, there are two veterans who have fought for ages. What kind of trash are they?

In terms of backing, what does the Corpse Emperor have to compare with the Blood God?

The enemy suffered three defeats, while we won three victories. Let's go!

Without further ado, both sides, armed with Terminator armor, led the way, using the Imperial Iron Wall, officially known as the Tactical Dreadnought Armor, as cover as they approached each other.

When talking about Terminator A, it's necessary to elaborate on that.

During the Imperial Crusade, the Terminator Tactical Dreadnought was developed to address battlefields where power armor could not provide effective protection for the Legion's Astartes.

In today's M41 era, many people believe that the Ironclad Terminator Armor is the oldest model, which is incorrect.

Before the Iron Cavalry Terminator Armor was officially finalized, there were three experimental models of Terminator Armor: Mark 1, Mark 2, and Mark 3. After the Iron Cavalry Terminator Armor was officially finalized and mass-produced, the Astartes from the Legion era quickly provided the researchers with a large amount of data feedback.

The most crucial point is that, in response to the war situation at the time, the Iron Cavalry Terminator Armor was overly defensive but lacked mobility.

Unfortunately, before any modifications or upgrades could be made, Horus launched a major rebellion.

A large number of Ironclad Terminator armors were destroyed in the civil war of the Astartes Legion. In order to quickly make up for the lack of Terminator armors, both sides of the war unanimously adopted the design of the Unyielding Terminator armor.

Compared to the Iron Cavalry type Terminator Armor, the Unyielding type has weakened some of its defensive capabilities, including the force field shield, but has strengthened the Terminator Armor's joint protection, walking ability, and other performance characteristics. Most importantly, compared to the Iron Cavalry type, the Unyielding type Terminator Armor is more economical and easier to maintain.

Another relatively "common" Terminator armor is the Hades type Terminator armor. This tactical fearless armor was developed and manufactured at the same time as the Indomitable Terminator armor. The only difference is that the Indomitable type pursued economic practicality, while the Hades type was a superior alternative to the Ironclad type.

When the Fourth Company was making a fortune following Saint Markarius, their cheeks were truly stuffed full. Many chapters couldn't even get a single set of the Hades-type Terminator armor, but the Fourth Company actually had two sets.

After the former 4th Company Commander Epsilon went to serve in Deathwatch, the Hades-type armor he wore was sealed away as a company relic. Since the company champion Ingus got the Hades-type Terminator armor, his previous Unyielding type armor has become obsolete.

For the Chaos traitors, a set of Unyielding Terminator Armor is already an unattainable treasure; asking for too much would only cause the Four Gods to turn against them.

Modachi received Kaz's urgent plea, but he was busy working with Inquisitor Odachi to put pressure on the elites at the top of the nest and had no time to pay attention to Kaz.

In political negotiations, every word and action carries additional implications and subtext. The Four Legions and the two Astral Legions alone cannot suppress the entire Hive City. Negotiating with the leaders of Omidas is of utmost importance. Motor Sich cannot simply turn around and leave; he can only stay in the meeting room and continue spitting.

Sending the company champion Ingus to support Katz already shows that Motor Sich, as the company commander, values ​​this new recruit Katz highly.

Ingus's decision to bring along three other stretcher bearers further demonstrates his high regard for Katz's report.

Four Space Marines were enough to form a complete tactical squad, and their sole purpose was to capture the suspected Space Marine.

If Katz hadn't received two company commendations and hadn't been valued by the company, he wouldn't have received such attention.

If someone else had reported the situation, the company commander might have just randomly assigned two Space Marines to check it out.

As the company champion, Ingus was qualified to have a personal storage room within the chapter, so the personal equipment he could choose from was far more abundant than any Chaos Traitor could imagine.

Whether it's the meticulously crafted plasma hand cannon, the grenade launcher mounted under the left arm, the three-barreled Gatling gun, or the power sword that Space Marines also need to wield with both hands.

A company champion must possess the strength to deserve the title, and also the equipment and weapons to match it.

In terms of weaponry and equipment, Chaos was utterly defeated.

The explosive guns struck the field shields of both Terminators, creating ripples. There was no time to reload, and the two groups immediately engaged in close combat.

It's good, I love watching it, and I give it a thumbs up for its grossiness.

The members of the Devourer Clan, who thought themselves invincible in close combat, soon realized something was wrong.

Which unit is next door? Their fighting style doesn't seem like the weaklings of the Empire. Instead, it vaguely reminds me of those nobles from the Black Legion.

It is not easy for the Empire to train Astartes. Generally, they follow the principle of teaching according to aptitude, allowing Astartes with shooting talent to major in shooting, and those with melee talent to specialize in melee. However, the Desolation Wings, a warband that does not follow the Astartes Codex and has some wealth, is an exception.

Furthermore, thanks to the great Saint Macarius, he cured four times the poverty that prevented him from pursuing writing as a specialized skill and from having enough money for supplementary reading lessons.

What's the point of specializing in melee combat? You're gifted, willing to spend money on power armor, and can make up for any talent gap with a lot of practical experience.

The bunny-eared tough guys are in a bind. The world devourers, who consider themselves masters of close combat, have discovered that the problem is not whether they can kill them or not, but that they can't beat them!

Even on drugs, he couldn't win.

The World Eater's laughter is "hehehehehe," while the Wings of Desolation's laughter is "hehehehehe."

He's like a madman on one hand and a pervert on the other.

It's supposed to be a battle between Blood God's followers and Emperor Angels, so why is the art style so abstract?

Happiness, happiness!

As mentioned before, Astartes is either in a favorable situation or in a disadvantageous one; some Space Marines may never encounter a situation where the forces are evenly matched, from enlistment to death.

It is extremely rare for both sides to be so intent on close combat and killing each other.

It's so joyful! Merit, glory, the thrill of battle! How can there be such a perfect enemy? Such an enjoyable battle! Prepare to die!

In 5v5 team battles and one-on-one duels, the battle will immediately turn into a one-sided affair once one side suffers a casualty.

Big Axe Bro chose Kaz without hesitation.

But Big Axe Brother went in, full of confidence, and then Big Axe Brother's Butcher's Sting activated, leaving Big Axe Brother confused.

Judging from the power armor paint job, this kid is clearly a new recruit. And judging from his appearance, he's a new recruit too.

What's going on? Are the new recruits on the Empire's side all this good now?

Kaz was cautious and patient, and he was also puzzled. Was this the level of a veteran of the World Eater?

Sephiroth, your death sentence is suspended today.

The four pairs of fighters wearing power armor are still tied, and Ingus has once again proven why he deserves to be the company champion.

Tyrant's value is still increasing; Ingus is indeed too well-rounded.

Compared to other fighters who easily turn close combat into WWE-style battles when wearing Terminator armor, Ingus can also perform tactical feints while wearing the Hades-type Terminator armor, which truly shows that he has both talent and stats.

Once the veteran Terminator of the World Eater Warband was blasted to his knees by Ingus, the outcome of the entire battle was no longer in doubt.

This time, the idea of ​​killing enough people to make up for lost time has shifted to the rabbit-eared hunk.

Chapter 44 The Great Game

When living in a group, the most important thing is to fit in.

-------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------

Go, guys with long red bunny ears!

The World Eaters are sorry that they were unable to satisfy Lord Ingus.

Kars never felt like he had the protagonist template, because compared to the likes of Tyrant and Ingus, he was far too weak.

The difference between Astartes is truly that great. What are humans and dogs compared to each other? It's like comparing an atomic nucleus to a molecule.

Kaz knows several notorious Chaos traitors, and he has good reason to suspect that Ingus's ability to quickly reach Lucius is the same Lucius from Slaanesh's faction who can possess and regenerate.

While everyone else was laughing heartily, Ingus remained silent. No wonder he was teased by Tyrant and the others; he's a typical loner, too concerned with maintaining a facade. In the collective military life of the Astronautical Army, being a loner simply meant more night shifts and cleaning toilets. But in the collective military life of the Astartes Chapter, being a loner meant not being a true brother, and not being a true brother could lead to death.

The fact that Ingus is alive and well proves what? Of course, it proves that the company champion is everyone's good brother. Is it because he's lucky?

Five against five was evenly matched, but five against four resulted in an instant death. Ingus, who was freed up, took down the Greatsword Guy from behind with a bomb. The two who made room in the four-man fight helped the Gunsword Guy and the Dual Gun Guy to save face. Everyone gave Kaz a chance and watched for a full three seconds.

Kaz was given a chance, but he was useless. No matter how good his dribbling or how accurate his passing was, what good was it if he couldn't shoot into the goal?

Big Axe Bro originally wanted to find an opportunity to trip Kars and make him lose his balance, then use Kars' body as cover to escape.

The idea was creative, but he underestimated Katz's solid fundamentals and overestimated the overall martial spirit of the Four-Company.

One-on-one?

We gave them a chance! It's just that Kaz is too bad, how can you blame us for stealing their kills?

Shot seventeen times in the back, Big Axe Brother committed suicide.

Space Marines with a legitimate chapter lineage do not act recklessly.

If Katz hadn't given the company commander a death call before the operation, he would definitely be the one who died.

The company champion, Ingus, and the veterans of the stretcher team understood this principle even better.

So Ingus took two men behind to use the corpses of the World Eaters to set up ambushes and traps, while Kaz and another veteran were ordered to return as quickly as possible to seek help, call on the other gang members, and prepare to carry out a large-scale sweep of the lower nest with light and heavy firepower.

Concentrating superior forces to fight outnumbered is the privilege of the loyalist Astartes.

The Chaos Traitors have already begun their blood sacrifice. The current situation must be dealt with severely; delaying it will lead to serious consequences.

So when the information reached Company Commander Motor Sich, who was in a meeting, the problem of Omidas's Nest City was solved.

They're all old foxes, seasoned veterans. Military leaders and powerful figures can distinguish between big and small kings, and they won't stoop to the level of ghost stories.

Cult members are relatively easy to deal with; we can cleanse them thoroughly. As long as their strongholds remain, our good life will continue.

If the Chaos Space Marines were to actually sacrifice a warp demon, then things would get really messed up.

The vast majority of ordinary citizens of the empire have been brainwashed by the state religion for ten thousand years, and they see everything as aliens. The bloodletters of the Khorne family are red aliens, the Nurgles are green aliens, the Slaanesh family are cute aliens, and the Tzeentch family are candle spirits.

They are all alien creatures, there are no warp demons, clouds in the blue sky and water in the bottle.

However, those who managed to infiltrate the elite circles of the Nest Top had at least a vague understanding of the Warp, knowing that demons were a political red line for the Empire, and anyone who crossed it would have their entire family killed.

Forget about fighting for power and profit. Let's gather a few unlucky guys from the army corps and suppress the mess in the bottom nest first.

The empire is merely brain dead, not muscle weakness.

At this moment, the Omidas Nest truly embodies this principle.

When Kaz led the way, and the rest of the company's fighting brothers arrived with the legion cobbled together by the Nest Top Commander's private soldiers, Ingus caught two more big fish.

After all, that was Terminator A. The World Eater Warband couldn't bear to let it go, even though the Prince Wizard had warned them. Mutox still gave away two lives before realizing things were hopeless.

Ingus didn't want to touch anything related to chaos, so he didn't utter a word about the Devourer's brain.

However, it wasn't a big problem. All the brothers in the company who could come had come. Company Commander Motor Sich even sent Ingus a teleportation beacon. In a critical moment, Ingus could instantly summon ten Terminator men by his side.

The one who should be in a hurry is not the Desolate Wings, but the World Devourer Warband.

Surround them, drive them out—this isn't a battle, it's a hunt.

If you have any ideas, go tell Lemanrus's main gun first.

After deploying their armored forces, the World Eaters see no hope of victory unless they summon the Khorne army for assistance.

But can Mutox and Vebis summon the demons under Khorne's command?

Yes, but you can only summon a little.

"Amaterasu, you've gone to so much trouble to set this up, and you're just going to give up like this?"

The veteran of the Eternal War, clad in the black-painted Unyielding Terminator armor, looked at the leader, who was also a son of Horus, with a puzzled expression and asked his question.

"Gas, are you questioning Amaterasu's authority?"
