The Astartes Family's Notebook

"The problem is mainly my own; Tyrant's misleading accounted for at most 22% of it."

"cut."

"Yes, Tyrant himself is a Terminator powerhouse, but he only tells me about the Terminator's various flaws, without mentioning any of its advantages."

"Aren't all the advantages except for the flaws?"

"Later I found out that the Terminator A is really useful in certain situations."

There are plenty of Astartes in the Imperial loyalist faction who can move around using only their physical strength to withstand the Terminator armor without using servo motors or electronic muscle bundles to assist their power.

However, there are very few people like Katz who want to modify the auxiliary balancing system.

Anyway, the senior technical sergeant of the Eighth Company dared not make any changes, not even to the company commander's orders. The Terminator Armor was no ordinary item; it was somewhere between precision-engineered equipment and a relic, with highly integrated internal systems. If any mistakes were made, they would have to find a top-notch mechanic from the forging world to fix it, and the technical sergeant was afraid of taking responsibility.

However, the faith that poor boy Qiongen had in Omnisaiah can only be described as faith, faith.

He dared to change what others dared not, he was willing to go through fire and water for his brother Samar!

Based on Katz's real-time feedback, Qiongen made significant hardware and software adjustments. After the Terminator Armor was fully serviced, its overall performance was reduced by approximately 17 percent according to standard evaluations.

But if data is everything, why not just compare sizes instead of actually fighting?

The power claw that was previously hidden inside the Emperor's statue that was remelted on the Ishimura was also retrieved.

With a power hammer in one hand and a power claw in the other, Kaz was somewhat looking forward to the battle against the Khorne Warband.

With a sharp blade in one's heart, the urge to kill arises; with a hammer in one's hand, everything looks like a nail.

Let's fight!

Teleport in?

The Imperial Icon does have a teleportation device, but it's the Empire's teleportation technology...

So why did the brothers responsible for searching the mountains and seas insist on staying for ten minutes? That was the time it would take to reach the surface by taking the Thunderhawk gunboat.

With the "active" cooperation of the merchants and their owners, the planet's surface-based air defense system is now under the control of the Astartes, allowing the fleet to descend to very low altitudes and dock directly in low orbit to stand by.

However, the Khorne Warband, having been caught red-handed, did not sit idly by and launched a counterattack as the encirclement tightened.

What else is there to say? Let's get them!

The casualties among the mortal troops were indeed considerable. Under the surprise attack of the rabbit-eared men, the encirclement was quickly torn open.

But Astartes of the Eighth Company strictly followed the company commander's orders, just hanging there at a distance, as if to say, "Come and chase me if you dare."

Chasing after them was one thing, not chasing them was another; caught in a dilemma, Katz arrived with eight Terminators.

Then, it's always the foreigners who make a fool of themselves.

Before the Thunderhawk gunboat had come to a complete stop, Katz leaped out and landed gracefully, while two veterans who followed him slipped and fell face-first into the mud.

The Terminator armor is awesome. If a power armor user were hit like that, they'd probably have to stand there panting for three minutes before they could recover.

But then another problem arises: at such a low height, how could someone wearing power armor possibly slip?

That's not important. What's important is that in his first official appearance as a shield guard, Choun finally stopped protecting Kars in front of him.

The abbot has a good memory; he still remembers what happened back then.

Seeing Kars's arrogance, even the Chaos Astartes of Khorne was amused and annoyed.

It's like everyone's torn apart a Terminator armor with their bare hands. How dare someone with such a small skill...?

The afterimage of Big Axe Bro running away is a metaphor for Kars' lost youth.

Then, Kaz ripped out his heart and liver.

Kaz didn't understand what was going on either. He originally wanted to perform a one-handed catching of a blade, but it was too easy, too easy. With a simple upward scoop of his power claw, he lifted Big Axe Guy up.

The Empire has been using Astartes for ten thousand years, and the relevant data is quite complete and comprehensive.

The standard height for Astartes is between 2.2 and 2.4 meters, which is considered normal average.

Since passing through his second growth spurt, Katz's height and build have remained largely unchanged at 2.47 meters, which isn't particularly outrageous.

Leaving aside chapters like the Salamanders and Imperial Fist, which tend to produce large, imposing figures, even within the other companies of the Desolation Wings, there are two chapter members who are over 2.6 meters tall.

Unfortunately, aside from giant monsters like Tiberius, the leader of the Man-Eating Shark Chapter, who grew to three meters tall without undergoing original forging, in this era of the Firstborn, being too big is not only not a good thing, but also makes one an easy target, and one might die before even being able to realize one's physical talents.

Draven was only two centimeters shorter than Katz; none of the soldiers from this batch of Frankish III were short.

However, in terms of the mysterious and elusive sensory level of aura, Kars is in a league of his own on the battlefield.

Kars had already severed his spine, but the axe-wielder refused to give up and stubbornly persisted, trying to raise his axe to deliver a fatal blow to Kars.

Noisy.

With a slight jerk, Kaz completely dissipated the last bit of strength that the Khorne followers had accumulated.

And so, using the enemy's corpse as a shield, Kaz strode forward, leaving Qiongen bewildered.

Wait a minute, wasn't it agreed that I was the company commander and shield guard?

Draven is in an even more troublesome situation.

Holy crap, is this bastard serious?!

Previously, when Kaz told Draven that "promotion" was a proper training subject, Draven looked sarcastically at him. He would grab Draven by the neck and lift him up with one hand. The difficulty wasn't arm strength, but rather that the weight was insufficient and the center of gravity was unstable.

Draven genuinely hadn't considered that, while wearing the Terminator armor, the "promotion" actually had practical value in combat.

Another batch of students have been ruined; Katz is relentless in his efforts to destroy people.

Having received the Master's blessing, and still harboring the Butcher's Nail in his mind, how could he tolerate the provocation of the Corpse King's lackey? He absolutely could not tolerate it!

war!

war!!

war!!!

Faced with the fervent chaos of Astartes, Katz, disregarding all martial ethics, called in the Thunderhawk gunships to bombard the area.

Then, the opposing gang leader swung his axe, which hit the left-side power engine of the Thunder Eagle gunboat.

It's okay, there's still one left.

Amidst the smoke and fire, another chainsaw sword spun out.

You think you're so great, huh? The engines for the Thunderhawk gunboats are very expensive!

Katz also lost his temper; if there was even a puddle that could move today, he would consider it a loss.

The Thunderhawk gunship's barrage was effective, reducing the number of Chaos Astartes emerging from the smoke and dust by nearly half. With other company brothers providing cover behind the eight Terminators, including Kaz, only eighteen Chaos traitors remained by the time they entered melee range, braving the explosives.

Here, your brother is returning it to you.

Kaz swung his arm forcefully, but the Chaos Traitor charging at him showed no mercy, cleaving his fallen comrade in two without hindrance as it continued its charge.

It's fine for scaring ordinary soldiers, but this scene is hardly worthy of being called an animated film if it's meant to shock adult Astartes.

Without any hesitation, the Katz power hammer stored energy.

Then......

You can curse Khorne's berserker style, call them stupid, and say those Butcher's Spikes' rides are malfunctioning, but once they're caught up in battle mania, these guys actually become mentally sound.

With a cruel grin spreading across his lips, the Devourer suddenly ducked, dodging Katz's swinging power hammer, and rose again in a bizarre state that surpassed even the edifice of Newton's classic physics, pressing close to Katz's three-meter line.

"idiot."

"Idiot [beep]"

Kaz and his opponent both cursed inwardly.

Suddenly, Katz released the hammer handle, grabbed the power cable which was much stronger than a steel cable, and pulled, and the power hammer was still activated.

Under the immense impact, the berserker of the world lost his balance and crashed into Kaz's power claws, while the weapon in his hand only left a mark on the Terminator's shoulder armor.

Qiong En was too young; he didn't understand the battlefield decisions made in the blink of an eye.

In fact, he was quite derelict in his duties as the company commander and shield guard.

But Kaz kept him by his side because he didn't need Shield Guard.

Qiong En's talent is quite good.

After Draven's reminder, Katz reassessed the caliber of his company's men during daily training.

Trainee pastor Brad is indeed a figure to be reckoned with. Although he doesn't have any particularly outstanding abilities, his exceptional learning ability and physical adaptability, along with his flawless personal qualities, certainly give him the potential to become a cornerstone of the team.

But Qiong En is different. Putting aside the technical sergeant specialization of the trenches, even Kaz couldn't understand what the Silver Skull Chapter's new recruit instructors were thinking. He was a natural-born assault soldier.

This unfortunate kid's dynamic vision and neural reaction speed are quite outstanding, almost on par with his own and Tyrant's.

This naturally gifted hand-to-hand combat talent was sent to learn blacksmithing. Did his silvery-white skull think that his hands, when soldering circuit boards, needed to be steady in order to protect his goggles before an explosion occurred?

Unless blessed by a destructive force, Astartes' growth is linear. When Kars was young, he was still chased around by older, stronger individuals. He wouldn't blame Choun for his dereliction of duty.

Because at this point, Qiong En was already incompetent.

Bringing him along is to let him experience firsthand the instinctive fighting style.

Ingus, I'm sorry, my hands are faster than my brain.

Katz had long heard that Logan Grinham of Space Wolves could charge into battle wearing Terminator armor, and he was very unconvinced.

Then Kaz tried it out and found that the damn balance assist system was truly awful.

Leaning forward while charging is a normal posture, but the underlying logic of Terminator Armor requires a stable posture. This is an unsolvable conflict. The Warhammer universe is not a Tom and Jerry worldview. Astartes cannot maintain an upright posture while running at high speed.

That's why the little story about the maintenance room happened before.

Without the Terminator Armor's built-in balance aid, Kars would have to use his own strength to support the weight of the Terminator Armor and get up once he fell.

No, even with Katz's physical abilities, organ damage is inevitable if he falls.

But what does it matter? I'll become a Venerable One... no, as long as I don't fall down, that's fine, isn't it?

Unlike the other company's brothers who were engaged in fierce fighting, Katz had never felt so happy, both physically and mentally.

It's addictive to use a power claw to rip out your heart!

How wonderful! How wonderful!

Chapter 487 Hua Qiangdong

The renowned botanist Liu Huaqiang once said: "When I doubt whether your melon is ripe, it doesn't really matter whether it's ripe or not."

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

Katz hadn't worn the Terminator armor in a long time, and even after Qorn modified the system parameters, he couldn't achieve the state of "Divine Armor and Blood, Man and Armor as One".

Okay, you can't actually achieve that without changing the parameters.

But kids are strong.

In addition, the Terminator Armor is really damn thick, and some places that seem like weaknesses are actually used by Kars as traps to bait out his moves.

The world devourer who has been hit by the Butcher's Nail is like this: when his fighting spirit is not strong enough, he is tortured by the nail until his brain trembles and his cerebellum atrophies. But once he is in a bloodthirsty frenzy, he will receive a great positive feedback and feel a kind of sublime pleasure.

The conclusion is that the more World Eaters there are, the stronger the World Eater army is; the fewer World Eaters there are, the stronger the World Eater himself/hero is.

As the battle drew to a close, Katz's side suffered casualties instead.

These Khorne believers have gone berserk!

"Hmph, you dare to show off your petty skills in front of me, Master Lu!"

Qiongen has completely abandoned melee weapons, controlling the Storm Shield with both hands, because holding the shield with one hand would send him flying.

If the world devourers, who grow stronger with each battle, were to change locations and opponents, they might just reverse the situation.

But Katz could actually compete for a top-three finish in the Roger Dorn impersonation contest.

Draven asked if they should use artillery fire to clear the area. Anyway, the men holding the line on the Eighth Company were all Terminator-level tough guys. They could just let the guys in power armor back down and take a round of howitzers without much trouble.

Kaz thought about it and then disagreed.

This is invaluable combat experience.

Letting the brothers in the company experience the oppressive power of the Khorne Berserker is not a bad thing.

Because the great Eighth Company Commander, Kaz Samar, felt he could still hold on.
