Chapter 7: Thunder Warriors
"Come on, keep attacking, hahaha all of you go up together."
Alexander's excited voice could be heard in the arena of the inner courtyard of the palace, and forty forbidden soldiers raised their heads in an attempt to pull him to the ground to fight.
With wings as white as St. Giles, Alexander was finally able to take to the skies today, successfully restoring the ability to fight in the air.
However, before he could be happy, a psionic hunting net exploded in the air, and the eight Praetorian soldiers each pulled a corner, and the powerful force dragged Alexander to the ground, and the spear of the guardian stabbed him in the neck.
"Oh, you're connecting pretty well."
"I've been waiting for the day I'll be able to fly, right, what is this? Anti-Alexandria equipment? ”
Alexander threw away his weapon and lay down in the hunting net, which could have been split before the net came down, but he was careless.
"Your Highness, this was prepared in advance by Makado, the Palm Seal, who said that you will need to experience a defeat before you are about to leave Terra, and only then will you become more cautious."
Justin stood by and directed the Praetorian soldiers to clean up the battlefield, the hunting nets made of special metal were rolled into a canister for the next use, and the two strong Praetorian soldiers patted Alexander's ass with dust as they lifted him up.
"Worthy of being the prime minister of the empire, Makado is really careful."
"Yes, the three months of training have been too smooth for me."
At the mention of Machado, Alexander immediately understood the significance of this defeat.
The winning streak of more than three months really made him look down on these forbidden troops in his heart, and he was simply floating.
But this time it was completely planted, but it was impossible for anyone to catch him with a hunting net next time.
Alexander left his weapons and equipment to his personal guard, to be maintained by the servants, and he went to the stone table to prepare a small part of the affairs related to the Astarte Guard battle team.
This is a new mission that Makado has assigned to him, and it is not okay to stay away from Terra and not deal with the battle reports.
Even the most brainless of the Astarte Legion knew to notify their teammates before jumping to prevent indiscriminate shelling.
"Your Highness, more than three hundred thunder warriors have gathered in the front yard in the past few days, and the three biological sages sent by Mars have also arrived."
Justel unleashed three servo skulls with the Empire's firstborn symbol, which contained all the information for this stage.
After three months of residence in the palace, his personal belongings with Alexander's emblem slowly began to increase, and his servo skull was not only decorated with small wings, but also inscribed with the emblem of the emperor's eldest son, the small double-headed eagle.
"Aren't those sages on Mars who don't care about anyone, why are they here to join in the fun, and the emperor has come forward?"
Alexander made his way to the stone table and quickly skimmed through the information stored in the servo skull.
When it came to the emperor, Justin did not dare to reply easily, so he could only wait for Alexander's order.
"It's a good thing that experiments will go much better with their presence, and I don't have so much time to stay in the lab."
Alexander understood his main problem at the moment.
At present, the extremely unstable physical bodies of the Thunder Warriors, as well as the spirit that is prone to rage and bloodthirstiness, are his main research directions.
Whether or not to continue to enhance the combat intensity of the Thunder Warrior depends on the follow-up biological experiments.
Compared to the Astartes, the rare humanity of the Thunder Warriors is indeed a shining point.
When Forbidden Field Marshal Constantine Valdo, the original form of Usotan who killed the last Thunder Warrior, Usotan spurned him as just a tool of the Emperor, saying that he could not even be called alive at the moment.
And although my life is short, I still live as a human being, I can feel all kinds of things, I can be angry, I can be happy, I can think.
Usotan said that Constance Dante Valdo had no humanity at all, and would only carry out orders.
This was true of Alexander's opinion of every Praetorian army, even Waldo.
In the servo skull log, Konstantin Valdo later agreed with Usotan's claims, but executed the Thunder Warrior's original body as ordered.
The emperor was also worried that the forbidden army would become a tool for killing, and after this incident, he specially created the Spear of the Sun God, so that Constantin Valdo could go back in time when executing enemies and see their lives, so as to preserve his few human natures.
In fact, the original body of the Thunder Warrior does not have a genetic seed as a bond like Astarte, he is more of a title similar to that of a legionnaire.
After reading all the information, Alexander released the servo skull in his hand.
"Let's go, let's go meet these warriors who are still willing to fight for humanity."
Justin was ordered to take the lead in front with the spear of the guard, and the other forbidden soldiers also entered the courtyard in advance with explosive rifles, waiting for more than 300 thunder warriors.
As soon as Alexander stepped into the gate, more than 300 thunder warriors spontaneously lined up neatly, even after a hundred years and a thousand years, their tough military style was still engraved in their bones.
Even in the face of the forbidden army, they have their own arrogance.
"Hello, former warriors of the Empire, I am Alexander Don, the original body that will rule you in the future."
Although Alexander did not hear the Thunder Warriors sigh, he could clearly feel their distrust of him.
"Maybe you only heard my name three months ago, and heard that I was going to summon you, but it is precisely because there is no original body that you have dragged on until now."
"It seems that after Usotan's death, the Thunder Warriors will only be left with a group of people who are still alive, oh no, it is to unload their armor and return to the field, and return to the field with peace of mind."
"If you feel that you are no longer fit for the battlefield, then leave here, I don't want my comrades to die in the future from the crisis that comes from behind."
Alexander knew how to treat his warriors, knew how to earn their respect, and could only subdue them by overwhelming them on the battlefield.
But this time it was obviously a mistake, and the Thunder Warriors, who were resentful of the Emperor, even if they did not participate in the rebels and were killed, all left their home planet Terra, and those who remained here were veterans who were willing to fight to the death for humanity and for Terra.
Even during the Great Horus Rebellion, during the siege of Terra, there were still Thunder warriors who spontaneously fought to the death.
Although Alexander's words were a bit piercing, the Thunder Warriors didn't pay attention to it at all, after all, the emperor's own son in front of them was small, talkative, and looked a little cute.
"Wherever the empire needs us to fight, we will be there."
"Unified !!" "Unified !!"
The veterans in the front row of the array spoke in unison, and the veterans in the rear spoke firmly, expressing their will in their own way.
