Chapter 62: Storm Birds
Space synchronous orbits, the electromagnetic orbits on the launch bays of many battleships have been fully charged.
The Warhawk Stormbird large transport fighter and many variants of the Stormbird have received an urgent order and are ejecting through an electromagnetic trajectory.
Barr-Prim satellite.
The Space Marines of the Ninth Legion could see strange transport planes with short wings, huge fuselages, and fat flying their slender tails flying between the starships and the surface.
These large fighter sequences, which are far larger than the Thunderhawk fighters, are responsible for the transportation of cargo troops in the void and atmospheric environment.
At the same time, they can also provide fire support to ground forces or call orbital bombardment through tactical links.
The Khonsu Stormbird is one of the largest Stormbird models to date, and they will carry the Blood Angels' Legion's overloaded and paralyzed War Tanks back to the Space Starship for repairs.
The Stormbird modification can also be equipped with medical equipment for emergency battlefield rescue operations, and the pharmacist will travel in a barrel-armored seat in the airframe if necessary.
In fact, there is also a type of aircraft called 'Mourning Birds' by Space Marines, which is mostly used to search for Astartes who died on the battlefield and return their bodies to their legions.
"Here, our department is really equipped with a Storm Bird transport plane, or a Warhawk type."
Bucaret stood at the entrance to the Rift Valley, where three Warhawk Stormbird transports were speeding from behind.
These fighters, which have been deployed and used since the era of unification, are extremely familiar to the Thunder Warriors.
One of the Storm Birds, loaded with the guards of the Ninth Legion, did not stop, and flew directly towards the Royal Court Lighthouse to chase their genetic prototypes.
The other two landed at the Rift Valley exit and waited for designated personnel to board the plane.
Anse El led the team to turn and run towards one of them, and orders from space indicated that the Thunder Warrior Honor Guard had been approved to ride one of them to the royal lighthouse.
Another approved medical-type Stormbird is preparing to return the injured Thunder Warrior to the Opalon-class battleship for treatment.
"Commander, eleven people were slightly injured and six people were seriously injured."
Terfa Foss, the chief medical officer of the Thunder Warriors, led a medical team of thirty-seven people.
But after this battle, the wounded were not as many as the medical guards.
"How's the serious injury going?"
Kabu Eric planted the Thunder Warrior's banner on the ground and sorted out his weaponry.
Terfavas glanced back, and basically every wounded Thunder Warrior was assigned two medical officers to treat them.
"Rest assured, it has been confirmed that there will be no permanent sequelae."
"That's all right."
Commander Kabu Eric followed his gaze and bowed to the seriously wounded.
This group of reckless guys went to single-handedly take on the company commander-level demon of the Blood Legion, and finally killed them all by exchanging their injuries for their lives.
"Telfa Forss, there's a medical Stormbird transport plane at the Rift Valley, you assign a few medical officers to escort the wounded to treatment, and the rest of the medical guards continue to accompany the team on their mission."
Kabu Eric also received the message from the sky, and after whispering a few words, he picked up the battle flag and waved the assembly order.
"Comrades-in-arms, our mission is not over here, continue to move in the direction of the lighthouse."
"Yes."
The Thunder Warriors switched formations and moved in teams of twelve towards the towering lighthouse at the other end of the rift.
...
"Alexander, your warrior is special."
Magnus stood on top of the cliffs of the Rift Valley, watching the Thunder Warriors fight.
He had read Olmuz's preliminary research on the Thunder Warriors, and was eager to find out what their true flaws were.
Magnus was not convinced of Olmuz's initial confirmation of a phobia of insufficient firepower and the long combat endurance, which were not obvious deficiencies.
He had seen many Legions of Astarte, and he knew that each of them had some kind of genetic defect to a greater or lesser extent, an instinct that came from deep in the genes, and was by no means an outward manifestation of a certain life environment.
One of Magnus's most important experiments was to identify all the legion's problems and try to solve them.
He is not a selfish person.
Magnus was not only worried about the Legion of the Thousand Sons himself, but also about his many brothers.
"Of course, they are powerful warriors from the era of unification, not Astarte."
On the way to the royal lighthouse, St. Giles happened to notice Magnus's red figure, so he landed directly with Alexander to him.
Alexander walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down at the Thunder Warriors who were resting, and couldn't help but sigh.
"But alas, there aren't many of these veterans left in the universe."
"So, you don't have a direct line of Star Marine?" St. Giles was a little incredulous.
He knew that modifying a Space Marine would require the transplantation of genetic seeds, which would be inherited from the bloodline.
Several brothers who have not yet returned to the empire have their own Astarte legions, but Alexander does not, how can it not be thought about.
"I don't know if there is."
Alexander himself was a little puzzled, he really didn't ask the emperor about this.
When Magnus heard that the Thunder Warrior was not Astarte, his heart was no longer entangled.
"Aren't you proficient in genetic engineering? You don't know it yourself. ”
St. Giles felt like he was being kept in the dark.
Magnus and Alexander have a criminal record, and they had deliberately ruled out the use of his psionic powers to make secret contact.
"Being proficient in genetic modification engineering does not mean that there will be corresponding results."
"Genetic engineering is a very complex discipline, and interstellar soldier modification is a combination of multiple disciplines and technologies."
"I'm afraid only my father can do it at the moment, just wait."
Magnus explains all this to St. Giles.
I wanted to pat him on the shoulder, but he was blocked by the thick wings, so he had to withdraw his hand and stand beside Alexander.
"I'll trust you one more time."
St. Giles stood on Alexander's other side and slammed his left chest twice with a fist at Magnus, indicating that he was not trying to question him.
"It's been less than a year since he was born, and even if it's a proven technique to grow a genetic seed, it will take a while."
Magnus was responsible for teaching Alexandria about psionic knowledge, and the emperor opened up some of Alexander's information to him, so he explained it to St. Giles again.
"Yes, and I'm in a bit different from you." Alexander explained to them.
"Actually, no, each legion has a certain difference in the method of cultivating Astarte."
There are several Astarte reconstructive surgeries that Alexander alone is aware of.
In addition to the basic organ transplant and transformation surgery, the blood crow transformation surgery, there is also the blood coffin transformation surgery in St. Giles.
