Space marines, also known as Astarte.

It is a group of super soldiers born after extremely complex genetic modification surgery.

The birth of a Space Marine begins with the selection of outstanding young people from among the human race. Selected humans will be tested and those who pass will be genetically modified.

The transformation of the Space Marines is complex and has many procedures, about 19 procedures, and the order of the operation cannot be reversed.

A large percentage of would-be Space Marines will die after surgery. And the surviving warriors will say goodbye to their past lives and dedicate their bodies and minds to the emperor. It's hard to keep the feelings you had when you were a mortal.

Usually a Space Marine, with two hearts, huge muscles, quick thinking, the ability to spit acid in his mouth, and his body to filter contaminated food and water. The genetic seeds implanted in their bodies will also give them the combat experience of the last Space Marine. Some warbands' genetic seeds may also grant some special abilities to Space Marines.

They are born warriors, born to destroy all enemies of the Empire.

But compared to the Imperial Guard, the Forbidden Army, the Space Marines are a little inferior.

If the Space Marines are the children of the genetic protoplasm, then the Forbidden Army is the descendants of the Emperor. His power permeates these people, and His powerful blessings protect them from physical and psychological harm. The greatness of the Lord of Men flows in their veins and burns in their eyes.

Since the Forbidden Army only fought for the Emperor, and no one else could command or monitor them, the secrets that created them were never revealed, and even the High Lords of Terra had no right to know about them.

The entire empire only knew that every forbidden army had mastered various arts. They possess extraordinary tactics, strategies, martial arts, and intuition. The Emperor's superhuman Space Marines were nothing compared to them as unfortified ordinary warriors, and these forbidden armies were elites who could not be surpassed by others in body and spirit.

Not only will they have to master the tenets of various types of warfare, but they will also learn all the assassination, counterintelligence, danger assessment and death handling techniques known to man, while also expanding their minds more deeply. Diplomacy, Home Affairs, Astronomy, Cosmic Geography, History, Philosophy, Theology, Art, and a host of other subjects must be mastered.

These can be traced back to the education of the founding of the Forbidden Army, which taught them to provide protection to the emperor and to give advice and conversation. For thousands of years, this kind of education has been a tradition in the forbidden army.

Of course, the benefits are obvious, such an avalanche of information not only filters out those who are fragile in heart, but also ensures that the Praetorian Army still receives the revelation and foresight of the Great Expedition in this dark and terrifying age. This allowed the Praetorian Army not to despair in the face of this miserable empire.

Forbidden armies usually fought on their own, each with handmade weapons and elaborate armor tailored to the user. A Praetorian Army can go head-to-head with a dozen experienced warriors. And when the Forbidden Army is deployed en masse, they can sweep away several times their army.

The Forbidden Army fights like a living legend, using a variety of tricks and tools to make the impossible a reality. The aura that permeated their side on the battlefield made the loyal warriors instinctively respect and fear these demigods.

In general, the Praetorian Army faced Astarte what Astarte faced mortals. The gap between the two is so huge.

Harrison looked at the leader of the Fire Barrier in the room.

In his mind, the warband leader should be named Laurent. One of the first Space Marines to follow Sivir, leading an expeditionary force to Terra to aid Sivir. Now it is also famous in the empire.

Harrison also had contact with Laurent during Terra's anti-crime operation and had a deep impression of him.

Although Laurent sat in a chair, a robe covering most of her body. But Harrison was still keenly aware that Laurent was taller and bigger than ever.

Harrison speculated that Laurent might have used some of the new genetic technology that Lord Sivir had brought to the Empire. This may be the reason why Lord Sivir thinks Laurent is capable of fighting him.

"Ability to fight with yourself"

That's Harrison's attitude toward Laurent. Like most of the Praetorian Army, Harrison was proud of himself as the Emperor's personal bodyguard. Not to mention the Space Marines, some forbidden armies can't even afford the original.

"I'm ready to fight!"

Harrison gave Siwell a sonorous reply.

looked at Harrison, who had been on official business in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for several years, but now his eyes had changed, and he was still aggressive. Sivir nodded. Got up from his chair. He used his psionic energy to move around the furniture, making room for the two to fight.

Sivir's office is very spacious, and changing the position of the furniture is more than enough to make it a fighting ground for the two.

Both were here to report to Sivir, and one was often based in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the other had recently been genetically modified, so neither of them had ever worn a stomach armor for this report.

It was for this reason that Sivir temporarily decided to let the two sides compete on the fly.

This removes the influence of equipment and accurately understands the differences in physical fitness and ability between the two sides.

Sivir stood aside, watching the center of the office take off their robes, leaking out their sturdy flesh, and the two were menacing, ready for battle. Shouted:

"The battle begins!"

As soon as Sivir's words fell, the two rushed towards each other at the same time. Immediately entangled.

Harrison was proud to be a forbidden soldier, and even though he knew that Laurent might be far more capable than ordinary space marines after more genetic modifications, he still chose to confront Laurent head-on.

Ever since the beginning of the Revival Expedition, Laurent has been undergoing genetic experiments on a new type of Space Mariner in Terra. Now that he has finally been successfully reborn, his hands are already itching. I hope to have a battle to test how strong I am now.

What an honor to have a forbidden soldier to be his sparring partner now! Naturally, Laurent had to give it his all and do his best to defeat this formidable foe.

Although they were unarmoured and unarmed, their punches and kicks were imposing. Both sides are very elite fighters, and it is difficult to distinguish between you and me.

Harrison didn't expect Laurent to become so powerful. As a forbidden soldier, Harrison has a lot of research in empty-handed combat and can be said to be a master of martial arts. He thought that his physical fitness and superb skills could quickly win Laurent, but he did not expect that the two would be in a stalemate.

Laurent was also a little surprised, the Forbidden Army deserved to be the Forbidden Army. Laurent had already felt in the battle that his strength, speed, and defense were stronger than Harrison's. But Harrison's skill alone wiped out a series of advantages that Laurent's physicality brought about.

As an Astarte, Laurent usually wears power armor and fights with weapons such as blasters and chainsaw swords. Fighting with empty hands is certainly not Laurent's strong suit, but after all, it is a battle-hardened and reformed one.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Laurent's martial arts are transcendent and perfect. As the leader of the warband, Laurent may not be the most combat-ready in the warband, but if there is a fighting match in the warband, Laurent will definitely be at the top.

But even if the fighting champion of the warband came, Laurent didn't think he might be able to surpass the forbidden soldier in front of him in terms of skill.

If Laurent's martial arts are transcendent and perfect, then Harrison's martial arts are at the pinnacle and superb, and they have reached the level of almost Taoism.

So even if Laurent outranks Harrison in strength and speed, it is often Harrison who often attacks Laurel in battle, and it is difficult for Laurent to launch an effective attack on Harrison.

But it only takes one chance, just one mistake from Harrison, and Laurent can turn the tide of the fight with his astonishing strength.
