Warhammer, about my years with the Wolfpack

Bader made a shushing gesture and continued with his work. Now that the two Terminator reactors were connected, the next step was the most crucial one, a step for which Bader had complete intellectual property rights. A special cooling device was installed on the reactor shell.

"I know what you're worried about, Sage Scott. You're worried that poor heat dissipation will cause the core to burn out. This isn't a life-threatening problem. You should trust my technology."

"How can you, a human who has just completed knowledge indoctrination, understand the greatness of machinery?" Scott tried to stop Balder, but Balder had already completed the installation of the power pack and was ready to test it. At this time, facing the reactor that might explode, Scott's logical circuit made him prepare to retreat.

"I've just completed my indoctrination, but before that, I was an expert at radiators," Balder said with a smile. Combining the knowledge in his head, Balder could actually do more with the help of the Mechanicus, but everything had to be done step by step, and he couldn't overdo it. So, after much deliberation, Balder decided to combine the local resources of Fenris and develop a technology system centered around the Flash Frost Crystal.

Frost crystal is a mineral unique to Fenris. Its origin is unknown, and its connection to psychic powers is unknown, but its safety is guaranteed. In the 40th century, Frost crystal was the core of the Space Wolves' unique Frost Infernal weapon. This weapon fires a ray of freezing, freezing or even shattering its target. It's used in everything from pistols to artillery! If this crystal can be used as a weapon, surely it can also be used as a heat sink?

Balder said that he has dozens of Terran years of experience in making radiators. This is not an exaggeration. After all, a year in Fenris is very long, and Balder has been using Flash Frost Crystals to dissipate heat for Fenris's heat engines and pipes for a long time, and the effect is really very good!

Basically, the original Terminator's cooling system structure has not been changed much, but with the addition of a better heat dissipation medium, the effect has been directly improved by several levels. And after the heat dissipation problem is solved, some things can be stacked, such as power!

Combining some of the knowledge in his mind and memories of his past life, the first work that Balder came up with can actually be understood as a combination of the Centurion Armor and the Terminator from the 40K era.

The equipment was positioned to be mass-produced as much as possible under current conditions, so Balder chose the basic architecture and power core of the Terminator. Furthermore, to reduce size and enhance flexibility, Balder abandoned the Centurion armor's system of layering armor over power armor. Instead, similar to the Terminator, Balder allowed the user to directly connect the black shell to the armor.

The Warframe is somewhat enlarged to accommodate a more powerful power core and weaponry, making it a relatively small mech for a Space Marine. The rear of the Warframe features two parallel power cores, while the exterior utilizes a Flashfrost crystal cooling system to maintain stable operation.

The link device remains the same neural link. There are three weapon attachments: one on each shoulder and one on each hand. The shoulder mounts can be equipped with missile launchers, like those used by regular Terminators. The left and right hands can each select a weapon. For close combat, a dedicated battering ram is available, while for ranged engagements, plasma cannons or laser cannons are available. The power pack provides ample energy.

Bader's theoretically recommended configuration is a storm bolter in the left hand as a secondary weapon, and a laser or plasma cannon in the right hand as a primary weapon. A missile launcher on the back provides guided and indirect fire. With this heavy armament, this suit is a size larger than a Terminator.

If needed, you can mount other specialized weapons. As for melee weapons? Well, we'll talk about that later. Anyway, it's just a bigger hammer, axe, sword, etc., and a larger storm shield. Balder is a long-range shooting enthusiast and has a serious fear of insufficient firepower!

"God of All Machines, the reactor's power output is normal, and the temperature is even lower than that of a normal Terminator!" Sterke exclaimed, looking at the readings on the data board. "This heat dissipation efficiency is incomprehensible to us. If the test is successful, we can use a higher-powered reactor!"

Scott's prosthetic eye glowed red, and the valves and pistons all over his body moved incessantly, making a clicking sound. It was clear that the oilman was deeply shocked and excited. Balder wasn't worried about the technology being stolen. For now, at least, it wouldn't be of any use. The core minerals were only found in Fenris.

"Increase the output! Remove the reactor limits! We need to test to the limit." Scott, his earlier resistance gone, threw himself into testing the equipment. What? Are you asking if such a tinkering would displease the Mecha God? No, it wouldn't. As a seasoned high-level Mecha Sage, machines are always happy in his hands!

And he'd already prepared a story: the God of Machines was guiding him towards higher power and better performance! What? You're asking what to do if the Mechanicum headquarters on Mars object? It doesn't matter. Scott wasn't well-liked by the Martians. Coming from Acheron-8, he'd already done plenty of things that displeased his colleagues on other manufacturing worlds, so this one wouldn't bother him much. (Just imagine the timeline shifted, and Acheron-8 now belongs to the Empire.)

(Areyoks-VIII survived the Heresy thanks to the Eldar's help. Areyoks-VIII was known for its research into alien technology, which naturally drew the ire of the Inquisition and parts of the Mechanicum. However, the final ruling was that Areyoks-VIII was too important to intervene... Basically, they knew you had issues, but as long as nothing serious happened, they'd assume you were fine. Then, a stubborn Inquisitor decided to test the waters and mobilized dozens of Death Watch squads. Areyoks-VIII was quite hospitable to these outsiders, and simply wiped them out... And that wasn't all. Areyoks-VIII's bots also hacked into the Inquisition's data center, destroying and tampering with anything related to them. And then the matter was dropped.)

It was precisely because of Scott's background and personality traits that he and Balder instantly connected. Balder essentially provided ideas and some technical support, and Scott implemented them. Heated arguments occasionally erupted between the two, but after Scott's Fort Star Robot Guard was dismantled by psychic forces, the latter expressed understanding and respect for Balder's actions... And with new successes, the two sides quickly put aside their differences and began to explore the issues of planned production and profit sharing!

Chapter 30 Centurion Terminator 2

"Prepare ten test machines immediately! We need to conduct comprehensive testing and research, immediately! Immediately!" Sterk's professional skills were impressive. He immediately began to deploy resources and prepared to go all in! To develop a new, groundbreaking Terminator armor, Scott was also prepared to invest some of his long-cherished technology.

"With the increased power, we can add thicker armor to the front of the Terminator to balance the unstable center of gravity caused by the sudden increase in the power compartment. The machine spirit also needs to be upgraded to maintain stability while running."

"The firepower of a new Terminator is already very strong, comparable to a tank. At this time, we need special equipment to assist these terrible war machines. For example, we can arrange a command type in a team, and equip it with a dedicated servo skull to indicate targets and lock enemies." Bader said while looking at the data panel.

"Yes, my lord, everything is possible! There are also bigger cannons and more powerful lasers. I think if the improved armor removes the shoulder missile launchers, it can be equipped with more powerful laser cannons or plasma weapons. For example, it can be equipped with weapons originally installed on the Dreydu type dreadnought!" Scott has gone too far in the pursuit of more output and more firepower, and he has a tendency to get mad!

"Actually, we can use this system on more equipment, giving them even greater output! Direct, violent output is the true essence of the God of All Machines!" At this point, Scott had already begun considering installing this cooling system on other equipment, and then simply stacking power! For example, the Spartan Assault Tank, the Doom Blade Tank, and even the Titan!

"That's a matter for the future. Let's finish this new Terminator first. Due to the expansion of the body, some circuits need to be rearranged and the servos need to be strengthened. At the same time, we also have to take into account the need to fight in a narrow space. And for all these, I need the help of you, a senior, talented and experienced Mechanicus sage." When it came to solving problems with kind words, Balder's praise was as surging as the tide. After all, it didn't cost any money.

"What are we waiting for? Let's get to work for the glory of the Empire and the God of Machines." The machinery all over Scott's body made bursts of friction sounds, and the mechanical claws and interfaces on his back began to work.

"I need to produce a combat-ready first-generation product within 10 Terran days, hoping to maintain maximum consistency with the original Terminator system, because in addition to the Sixth Legion, we also have potential customers." Bader said.

Once the Centurion Terminator is complete, Balder could provide a small supply to the Dark Angels, as Nemean has already agreed to Balder's request. Cats and dogs love and hate each other, and while they occasionally clash, they often fight together, especially against Randan. Honestly, Jonson's background with Russ is already quite good.

Jonson is relatively reliable. We can't just give all this equipment to Horus... Besides, the Dark Angels have a lot of good stuff, including technology and equipment Balder is interested in that's unattainable through ordinary means. Before Jonson returns, and while Malcador's reputation is high... Those who understand will understand.

Meanwhile, in another corner of the station, the Dark Angels' officers were also busy. They weren't training or planning war, but rather assessing the soon-to-be-reorganized Sixth Legion and its key personnel. From the Dark Angels' perspective, the First Legion, as the big brother, always had to see what their younger brothers were capable of.

"Brother Morris, how are things going over there?" Nimeen asked a colleague next to him, who was responsible for training candidates for the Iron Islands.

"They're not bad. Although they also come from the planet Fenris, they are at least disciplined and obedient. This is very good for a group of people who have just come out of the Iron Age." Morris thought for a while and continued.

"However, they possess an unusual passion and talent for technology and blacksmithing. After being instilled with knowledge, they always enjoy modifying their own weapons and equipment, and these improvements are often superior to standard equipment. This is a natural talent. Even if they don't perform well on the battlefield, I believe that after training, they can reach the standards of ordinary technical sergeants."

"Your side is okay. All I met were a bunch of barbarians! A group of guys who like close combat and like to smear animal skins and paint on their bodies to show their bravery. The smell of their paint can be smelled from thousands of meters away. You don't even need to use a divination device to find their traces. Damn it, a group of barbarians with advanced weapons are still barbarians!" On the other side, a dark angel named Yumo snorted and said.

"Then, how do you deal with these new recruits?" Morris said with some gloating.

"It's simple. Nimin and I killed three teams of theirs in a simulated battlefield! Including one of them who was said to be the Primarch's guard. Let them remember this!" said Yumo.

"Asmodeus, if I ask you to deal with Lord Balder, are you sure you can do it?" Morris looked at the best psychic in the entire Dark Angels Legion.

"Through some videos and data, I have no chance even if it's just about psychic power. His psychic power is instantaneous, truly instantaneous. This instantaneousness has nothing to do with the casting action. Even if you strengthen your senses, you can't capture even a little bit of information in advance. Moreover, his psychic power operation is very precise, just like when we hit a target with a grenade launcher." Asmodeus said.

"What about Niemin?" Morris asked.

"No chance. If it's a skirmish, I might be killed before I even react. When I was with him, we often played cat and mouse games, and I was always the one who got caught. He would make a move before me and then get rid of me before I could react." Nimeen said.

"This is a man worth watching," said Asmodeus.

"To be honest, some of these barbarians have good talents, resilience, strength and a desire to fight. They will grow up to be brave warriors, but it is hard to say whether they can become excellent officers," said Youmo.

The few of them were mostly discussing their individual combat skills. As for their tactical skills, they didn't mention it. After all, they had never experienced a proper battle and therefore couldn't comment on it.

"By the way, Lord Balder promised to pay us. I wonder if he'll deliver on that promise," Morris suddenly asked. The Dark Angels who had come into contact with Balder held him in high regard. He was powerful, intelligent, and well-regarded. He also maintained respect for the First Legion, so the Dark Angels held him in high esteem.

"It seems that it can be fulfilled now." Looking at the information sent by the information panel in his hand, Nimien's expression changed slightly.

Chapter 31 Terminator Centurion 3

"Welcome, fellow Dark Angels." Hake Hammer came to greet the Dark Angels on behalf of Balder, and then took them to a living room.

"If you treat me with Fenris's poison again, I will make sure you can't get up tomorrow!" Looking at the thing called Fenris Mead on the table, Morris's eyebrows twitched fiercely. Some time ago, he was responsible for Huck's training, so he could speak like this in private.

"You really don't know the benefits of mead, but you treat this bland stuff as a treasure." Huck said helplessly, then waved his hand and asked the servants to change some drinks that the Dark Angels could accept.

"So, what is the reward that Lord Bader gives us?" Morris asked.

"Everyone, a brand new Terminator power armor." Hake said.

"Thank you," Morris said with a smile. Terminator Power Armor was expensive, but not rare either. After all, every legion had thousands of sets. Of course, if it was a personal thank-you gift, the Dark Angels wouldn't have much to say. Even if the other legions' suits weren't comfortable, giving them to their own squires and subordinates and then modifying them was acceptable.

"The Space Wolves' Terminator armor is different from those of other legions." Hake Hammer's words were full of pride. He had already seen the new armor.

"Okay, we'll go take a look later." Although Youmo said it politely, he thought in his heart that the Wolf Pack's Terminator might just have a few too many fancy decorations...

And then, when the door of Balder's Workshop was opened, when three power armors that were taller and more powerful than the Terminator power armors appeared in front of the Dark Angels, it must be said that these elite, knowledgeable and mentally tough guys were still shocked by the new Centurion power armor.

Bader was a professional at marketing. He took the Dark Angels' preferences into consideration. The three Centurion Terminators on display were painted in a matte black finish, complemented by the lighting. Under the light, the three Terminators exuded a unique aura of sternness, coldness, and power. The gleaming light from the armor plates caught the eyes of the Dark Angels, and instantly, even Morris, who had been joking, felt like they had found their other half...

"Alright, fellow Dark Angels, this is the reward I've prepared for you: the new Sixth Legion Centurion Terminator Armor. It features a more powerful reactor, thicker armor, and improved servo systems, along with Fenris's unique cooling technology. Thanks to the efforts of myself and the Archsage of Forge World Acheron VIII, we've acquired a brand new, even more powerful Terminator Power Armor!"

"Currently, we have launched three models: the Centurion Command Terminator, the Assault Terminator, and the Support Terminator. The Command Terminator is equipped with a large number of electronic devices and expanded data channels, allowing you to maintain communication and exchange information with your teammates under various extreme conditions. It also has powerful reconnaissance capabilities."

"The Centurion Assault has enhanced melee weaponry and defense. More powerful melee weapons, improved protection, and a new servo system provide a better driving experience. I believe these guys will become good allies for the Legion's officers and soldiers in close combat!"

"Of course, my favorite is the support Centurion. It has three independent heavy weapon slots, which can be mounted with almost all the Terminator's long-range weapons, and even the weapons of the Dreadnought. Here, we would like to express our special gratitude to the Great Sage Scott for his help in installing a new type of Thinker Machine Soul for the support Centurion. It can assist the user very well and can even automatically select weapons, using different weapons to shoot at different targets." Bader introduced.

The new Terminator's technology came primarily from three sources: the original, mature system, Huangquan No. 8's technology, the reactor condensation technology provided by Bader, and the optimization of the Machine Soul. For example, the automatic firepower distribution Bader mentioned last was a modification of an automatic control program from a golden age that Bader had found in his mind.

That's right, it's a cut. Since it's a freebie anyway, I'll just give you the monkey version. The official version includes A-shoot-B-guide functionality. For example, if a forward Centurion spots a target, it can directly transmit the data to another Centurion, which then uses that data to fire without line of sight! As for whether this random manipulation poses a Chaos risk, Balder will combine the relevant knowledge of the Empire and the Eldar in the future to develop a new generation of Seals of Purity and oil cleaners! Oh, and antivirus software too!

"Okay, everyone, you can try them out now, and then choose one of them as your reward. The operation and maintenance are generally the same as the original Terminator. As long as the cooling core and machine soul upgrade do not require replacement, general front-line maintenance can keep this power armor in good working condition. Of course, if you want to use some equipment from your own legion, then please feel free to do so." Bader said.

Balder didn't believe these cautious Dark Angels would take the equipment home untouched. Before using it, they would have to conduct a thorough inspection and replacement. After all, the DA had many secrets, and the tech geeks within would surely find ways to reverse engineer it. However, as long as the reactor and some key programs couldn't be cracked, Balder could guarantee a technological monopoly. This was especially true for the reactor cooling system. If other legions couldn't find a cooling medium that could replace the Flashfrost Crystal, then the entire Human Empire's Centurion Terminators would have to be produced exclusively by Fenris.

However, Balder could not have imagined that, along with his improved farming skills and the legion's growing scientific research capabilities, a few decades later, a secretive yet vibrant gray industry would emerge. Other legions at the time called them Relic Hunters.

They dedicated themselves to collecting a wide variety of advanced and rare equipment. Some of the Sixth Legion's equipment was even considered top-grade. They obtained these limited-edition products from battlefields or through various covert channels, then resold them at prices several times higher! The premium was so high that even Balder wanted to get involved.

What Balder couldn't have imagined was that some of the legions were actually involved! For example, according to the original supply list, Fenris Industries was supposed to send 6 Centurion MK150 stealth terminators to the Raven Guard. However, on the battlefield at Gate 42, the number of stealth terminators accompanying the Raven King's assault was over 180!

Due to the uniqueness of the reactor cooler and the stealth position, when Bader found Clarks with evidence, the two sides had a friendly exchange, and then Sharokin was seconded to the 19th Legion. Then a few days later, the 50th Legion received 6 additional MK armors, and Bader said that he would no longer pursue the previous matters.

Chapter 32 Testing and Remuneration

Of course, compared to Clarks's minor escapades, a certain Hydra was even more outrageous. They even dared to smuggle the Frost Crystal! Balder wasn't so polite to these guys. After a heated exchange between the two fleets in an unknown star system, an unnamed fleet belonging to the Alpha Legion was forever eliminated from its battle order. In reality, far more than just two legions were involved in these incidents. Of course, that's a story for another time, so let's not discuss it for now.

"Let's begin." Morris, the first person to participate in the test, entered the firing range after completing the link with the support Terminator. This time, Morris's weapons of choice were a shoulder-mounted missile launcher, a multi-link heavy bolter in his left hand, and a laser cannon in his right. Before officially entering the target area, Morris needed to conduct a trial run through the complex terrain to gain familiarity.

"Testers, please enter area A2. Journey through the urban ruins and dense forests there."

"Testers understand." Morris began to advance through the ruins. Operating the system, Morris felt it was similar to a regular Terminator, but as he walked through the ruins, the Centurion Terminator's advantages became apparent.

"It feels very good, even though there is a big difference in the weight of the weapons in my two hands and I am carrying missiles. But the machine spirit still balances the center of gravity of the power armor very well, and I can walk without worrying about falling. When I am about to make a simulated attack, the machine spirit will quickly stabilize my body and lock the extra moving parts to improve shooting accuracy." Morris was impressed by the smoothness and comfort of the power armor and praised it from the bottom of his heart.

"Very good, cross the obstacle area and prepare for battle." Balder's voice rang in Morris's ears. "You can try the automatic weapon selection function of the machine spirit."

"Yes, Master Balder. I will follow your orders." Morris unconsciously used a more respectful honorific in his address. Then, he activated the automatic weapon selection function of the machine spirit.

In an instant, three aiming rings of different colors appeared in front of Morris. These were independent aiming devices for different weapons. When the first group of infantry targets appeared, the fire control system quickly locked onto the target, and then the aiming center became a green aperture representing the grenade launcher. After Morris did not object, the heavy bomb in his left hand quickly aimed at the target, creating an elliptical death zone at the distant target.

"Target cleared, next!"

This time, two targets appeared, one was an armored unit within the field of vision, and the other was an indirect fire artillery hidden behind the bunker. Soon, the Thinker Machine Soul responded, and the acoustic detection equipment and ballistic computer quickly calculated the position of the indirect fire point, and then quickly input the information into the missile launcher on the shoulder.

At the moment the missile was fired, the laser cannon on the right hand also aimed at the armored target. The two weapons fired almost at the same time. Accompanied by the roar of lasers and missiles, the two heavy targets were destroyed one after another within a few seconds.

"Very good! An excellent Machine Spirit! The ability to calculate and detect indirect fire, as well as the multi-target strike capability is what we need most! This is the best Terminator fire control system I have ever seen, no doubt about it, not even the Dark Angels have it!" Morris was very satisfied with the system.

Half an hour later, after Morris took off his Terminator Power Armor, he quickly came to Balder and Mechanicus Sage Scott and said, "Are these things for sale? The Dark Angels can offer a higher price. Please provide us with a batch before we leave."

"This power armor is powerful and has excellent operability. The communication equipment is more stable and the information transmission speed is faster. I hope that these equipment can be introduced into the expeditionary force's legions as soon as possible. The First Legion is willing to try it first and collect relevant data." At another test site, Minien also gave a high evaluation after completing the test of the command centurion.

"Uh... According to the agreement signed between Huangquan No. 8 Forging World and the Sixth Legion, the new Terminator power armor will be supplied to the Sixth Legion first because they provide the key machine soul upgrade technology and cooling technology. And these two technologies are irreplaceable. So I hope you can understand." Scott said.

"This really shocks me." Morris's expression changed slightly, and he even felt a sense of absurdity as if you were kidding me.

"The cooling technology requires a special mineral from the planet Fenris, as well as a corresponding formula. The people of Fenris have been using this mineral as a cooling medium for decades and have extensive experience," Scott explained half-truthfully.

"I see, it's the special minerals of our home planet." The dark angels thought it through. The Milky Way is vast and full of wonders. Some places do have special minerals. This is their resource endowment, which is incomparable.

Therefore, the experienced Dark Angels soon realized one thing, that is, it is impossible to roll out this new type of Terminator power armor on a large scale. It is a limited edition. Unless a substitute for the Flash Frost Crystal can be found, how much the other legions can obtain, except for the Sixth Legion, depends entirely on how much the Wolf Group gives you!

"Alright, everyone, please select the model you want, and then we'll proceed with the handover. We'll need to expand the training program in the future, and we can continue to compensate subsequent personnel at this price."

Baddle paused and continued, "As for all of you friends, the first group willing to help us train personnel, we can also provide additional services. If your Terminator armor is severely damaged in battle and cannot be repaired, then in the future you can use the core wreckage of the damaged power armor to exchange for a new one at any Space Wolves fleet or base! Of course, the premise is that they have it in stock. We will recycle the wreckage, and this opportunity only comes once."

As the saying goes, everyone has vanity. When selling goods, the seller not only wants to sell the product but also to provide the buyer with additional spiritual satisfaction. Nimeen and his men were willing to help train the Sixth Legion, and they were the first group, so naturally they deserved special treatment. And what about this Terminator armor? The core Frost Crystal is actually quite abundant in Fenris. With sufficient mining equipment, the production capacity is not low. It's just that because it's a monopoly, the price is so high...

The final result was a happy one for both parties. The Dark Angels took away ten Centurion Terminators and offered to spare another thirty senior officers to help the Space Wolves train new recruits. For the sake of the brotherhood and friendship, everyone should help each other...

Chapter 33 The Little Secrets of the Dark Angels

Aboard the Dark Angels' battleship Judgment, technicians from the Dark Angels' Order of the Circle of Ruin were disassembling and analyzing a Centurion Terminator. Nearby, senior Dark Angels officers, led by Morris, watched the disassembly and analysis with solemn expressions. Yumo and Asmodeus flanked Nemean, one on each side, as if guarding a prisoner. Nemean, in turn, watched the Centurion Terminator's power armor being disassembled with a look of reluctance.

That's right. Ultimately, among the ten Centurion Terminator Power Armors brought back, the Dark Angels voted on which to dismantle for research. Unsurprisingly, Nemeen won. The reason for his victory was simple: Nemeen had the best relationship with Master Balder. So, if any problems did arise during dismantling, they could probably be fixed without having to use that precious opportunity to replace the machine. This argument nearly sent Nemeen reeling. But then, thinking about it, it seemed to be true... Faced with this outcome, while Nemeen expressed understanding, he remained angry, perhaps even heartbroken.

Disassembly, mapping, and reassembly were relatively straightforward. As Bader had said, the new suit was highly compatible with the old power armor. The Dark Angels' technicians stated that if they didn't compromise on certain core technologies, they could easily build a mech like this themselves.

"More than 80% of the components of the entire system can be perfectly replicated, but the core reactor heat dissipation and temperature control system, as well as the compilation of the machine soul, cannot be solved. The former is because it uses a special cooling medium. The latter is a completely sealed black box. We don't know its principles and how to achieve its functions. It cannot be disassembled or replicated." Two hours later, the technical sergeants gave a result that disappointed Morris and others but was expected.

"Well, please make sure this power armor is completely reassembled." After Morris said that, he led a group of dark angels to another secret room.

"So, the situation is now very clear. It is impossible for non-Sixth Legion to deploy this kind of advanced and precious power armor. The stock will be very small. After all, the Sixth Legion has recovered its original body, and military expansion is inevitable. For a long time to come, the Centurions we can obtain are only the current 10 and the 30 that may be delivered in the future." Morris said: "This is a very precious chapter resource. They will greatly improve the combat efficiency of our two orders. Therefore, I hope that these armors can be concentrated for distribution and use." Then Morris looked at Asmodeus on the side.

Dark Angels? Many non-core personnel within the organization were confused about their own chain of command. A single person could have multiple identities. Perhaps they were a member of a certain order, and also a member of a certain celestial host. Their official identity might be a lord or company commander, but their company might not even know they were a member of a certain celestial host or order.

A complex web of relationships maintains the Dark Angels' command structure and unity. Cooperation and competition exist between different groups. Before the Primarch returns, who doesn't have something to hide?

Now the small circle headed by Morris and Asmodeus is composed of two orders, namely Morris's Order of the Circle of Destruction, and Asmodeus's Order of Seekers of Knowledge. The former is always thinking about how to beat the opponent into atoms, while the latter is always busy thinking about what the principle of such a thing is and what use it is to us...

These two orders work quite well together. When encountering aliens and enemies, the Circle of Destruction annihilates them, while the Seekers research their technology. They then help the Circle of Destruction annihilate more enemies. They complement each other perfectly. The Circle of Destruction is one of the most ruthless individuals among the Dark Angels, while the Seekers are the most skilled researchers.

"40 Centurion Terminators? This will greatly enhance our infantry firepower, and will be of great help whether it is boarding or attacking. However, I am more interested in Master Balder and Huangquan No. who brought all this. Cooling equipment using special cooling media has a wide range of application prospects. Now there are only Terminator power armors, and in the future there may be tanks, dreadnoughts, and even Titans and starships. And their ability to compile machine spirits is also terrifying." Asmodeus said.

"So, you think we should maintain a better personal relationship with Master Balder?" asked Yumo.

"Yes, a relatively good personal relationship. And a certain degree of mutual benefit. Master Balder is very interested in technology. We may be able to communicate with him to some extent." Nimien said.

Forty Centurion Terminators might not seem like much for the entire Dark Angels Legion, but for a group of just 40 men, these weapons represented a significant asset. Consequently, the two orders worked out detailed arrangements for the distribution and use of these weapons, as well as for future acquisitions. This marked the earliest significant interaction between the two Legions.

The Space Wolves received experienced instructors from the Dark Angels for their initial training. After all, you couldn't really expect the original Space Wolves, who even needed military police in battle, to provide proper instruction. As for the Custodes? Russ wasn't prepared for that, but the Dark Angels were the best instructors available. Over the next few years, Balder also acquired considerable technology and artifacts from Maurice, both from the Terran Empire and the xenos.

The Orders of Maurice and Asmodeus have also benefited greatly from this and future collaboration. Before the Lion King's return, the Order of Retribution, formed from these two orders, became a small elite group among the various celestial armies and orderlies of the Dark Angels. At the time of the Lion King's return, the Order of Retribution possessed over 8000 canned goods, partly due to their low casualties and partly due to their high performance and recruitment... It was during the Caliban parade following the Lion King's return that the other orders discovered the Order of Retribution's wealth...
