It took a while for Markan Ferros to fully regain control of his body.

The pain left on his flesh was insignificant, even if he had a lot of "flesh" in the Iron Hand Warband. The real impact is memory and cognition: even if he is the Iron Father who has enhanced the thinking speed and processing capacity of his brain, under such a mental impact, he has to spend some time clarifying the most basic questions:

Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?

After barely assembling the elements of self-knowledge, the consciousness that controls the body can be called "Marchan Ferros". He let out a mechanical sigh unconsciously from mental fatigue, instinctively checking the time to know how long it had been unconscious, and then he remembered that this was a subspace, and none of the time indicators on the power armor were reliable.

The time shown on it was three seconds back from the moment he "passed out".

Then, he realized that the team's communications were about to explode with a loud noise: the veterans were babbling about to direct the awakened original cast recruits to deal with the battlefield urgently. The basic deployment in the data link was busy and orderly, but he could tell from the wording that everyone's mood was not very calm.

Contrary to the logic that the Iron Hand Warband has always believed in, this time after the Midnight Lord's sneak attack, the first to rise up were the recruits with a low degree of mechanization. Because the opponent did not (unexpectedly) not aim to cause actual damage, these recruits were only subjected to some relatively mild methods on the battlefield, and temporarily lost consciousness for a short period of time. Veterans who have been over-reinforced can't be dealt with in a similar way, and Conrad Coetze apparently finds it more convenient to "incapacitate" them than to "incapacitate" them.

He got up, the slight wounds on his flesh were not enough to affect his actual functioning, and the pain was completely bearable. Ferros looked to his side, and was not surprised to see a large machinery overhaul site.

With the help of the Primordial Brothers, some of the veterans have regained their basic mobility - at the cost of distorting the form of the mechanics that had been intricately linked together, "improvised" together by some rather unreliable earthy method, creaking, sparkling, and seemingly at risk of exploding at any moment, but still usable.

He was dragged by the hands of the fighting brothers who passed by nearby and got back to his feet. Judging from the progress of the scene, Conrad Coz and the Midnight Lord were probably away for about three to four minutes. Four of the six veterans had rebuilt their legs, staggering, shallow to their feet and move slowly, while the remaining two focused first on overhauling their hands and weapons in an attempt to maintain a minimum of heavy firepower. The dreadnoughts were still lying on the ground, cursing and complaining in a hearty manner, but unfortunately, the current situation was too stretched to repair them, so they could only be grieved in place for a while.

After looking around, Ferros's strengthened mind immediately judged the situation. The Iron Father's command authority was back online, and in an instant, he had an overview of the other five exits of the main power room, uploaded what had happened to his front a little time ago, issued a corresponding alert, and dispatched a few technical sergeants, apothecaries, and large crane servants to support him.

This series of information transmission took less than three seconds, and the shock and doubts of the other five secondary battlefields immediately came from the battle command link - it was okay for the Destruction Claw to come out of the Midnight Lord, after all, they were only jumped by the Emperor's Son not long ago, and now it is not impossible to imagine that there is one more Chaos War Gang who wants to fight the autumn wind. But, what's going on with Conrad Coetzes? Could it be that his death was indeed an unbelievable rumor? What does it mean for the reappearance of the mutinous primordial that has disappeared for 10,000 years? What did he want to do when he ran to the boat with the cubs? Does this have anything to do with the current catastrophe aboard the Talon of Doom?

The enhancements that prevail in the Iron Hand Warband make it easy for warriors to multi-thread issues, and it doesn't matter if you have such a discussion while you're fighting. As the person at the highest level of command, Feros did not join in the eager discussions, but immediately set out to formulate the next step: his experience had proven that the Space Marines were just fragile children in the face of the Primordials, so he was prepared to call on large vehicles to deal with this risk.

He was still inspecting the reserves of armament in the hangar to which the current communication link could be connected, but in a burst of exclamation, he realized that the mutinous Primordials and the Chaos Gang that had left earlier had returned. Conrad Coetze, the leader, had a lot of Chaos Demon Blood on his body, but he didn't care about it, not even the weapons that the Iron Hand almost had in his face: he just came out with people like that, standing on the central axis in front of the front of the line, as if he were the one who had the supreme command here:

"Maintain the front." He rightfully commanded the Iron Hands, "It seems that as long as it doesn't over-irritate the thing in the center, it won't attempt to corrupt the surrounding area any further. ”

"Why should we listen to you?" One of the original brothers asked viciously, "The traitor's words are not credible at all. ”

In the past, this kind of speech would inevitably cause bloodshed in all senses, but now Coetzes is only tired of saying that he doesn't care:

"Whatever you want. I'm just a messenger anyway, and it's not my ship. He said this, walking in the direction of the bunker and position, "Your plasma reactor is not demonized, I am going back to the makeshift command room now to study the next strategy, persuade you to get out of the way, and-"

He turned abruptly to Fellos, and before the latter could react, he grabbed his power pack and lifted him up.

"—you're the real commander of this ship, and you'll go back with me." As he said this, Coates easily suppressed all of the angry Fellos' defiance, including explosive bomb shots, chainsaw weapons, and power drills.

In the midst of the somewhat staboo gazes of the other members of the Iron Hand Warband, the limbs and weapons that were difficult to use quickly due to the recent sabotage, and the abundance of fancy Medusa swear words, Coates led away with the Iron Father, who could not resist effectively and could only be dismantled little by little, leading his cursed cubs.

The only thing that poor Ferros succeeded in the end was to extend his command of the battlefield to his next brother.

Burn out, have, yard, six o'clock.
