"Seriously, I think Belossos would have been happy if he had boarded the Iron Blood with us that day in Medlengaard."

Dassad, Honso, and Parogov walked the road to the hangar, their terracotta boots rattling on the glittering ground, their brand-new blasters and power axes swaying with the magnetic locks on their waists, and the eyepieces of their helmets glowing a chilling green.

The Apothecary Master now doesn't shy away from his apprentice when he talks to his former colleagues—partly out of pride in the effects of the enhanced brainwashing experiments he has repeatedly inflicted on Parogov.

But on the other hand, considering that all of the purified genes, seeds, and cultured organs used in Parogov's later years (in fact, due to the nature of his experimental subjects were higher than others), all the purified genes, seeds, and cultivated organs used in the modification were provided by Hun Suo himself, it is difficult to say how much of the care of the Chaos Space Marines who have been fighting alone in the warband for a long time due to his hybrid status is an unnecessary emotional component that should have been eliminated.

Just as now, when Hunsso talked to his former lieutenant Dassada about some old things, Parogov only listened quietly, and the helmet did a good job of hiding all his expressions.

"Just because he's fearless, aren't we?" Hong Suo sneered, "Even if he is fearless, I can still dismantle him in person." ”

Actually, it should have been easier now, he moved his left hand and thought to himself, there were many "little surprises" given to him by the Iron Lord in the medical equipment on his hand armor......

Dassada just shrugged his shoulders, "Mainly, you see, generally speaking, in special circumstances like Berossos, a dreadnought is a respected elder in what they call a canonical warband, but they rarely hold command positions, after all, it is not easy to awaken and keep them out for long periods of time, and it requires a lot of maintenance resources - oh I'm not doubting your abilities, I'm just saying what is common elsewhere." ”

Honso nodded reservedly as the original apothecary, and Dassada continued, "But we'll count it now...... Well...... I don't trust those Imperial Fists you've transformed, those guys whose walls haven't been painted yet. Even with their numbers and those innocent and stupid pets, we only have three non-full companies at the moment. Then the only company commander who will come to the front line is Tai Wudaunt, and he is also a war supervisor. Given other assessment constraints and rivalries, this means we're only one and a half companies, and we may have to contend with a small Titan legion, a cathar in numbers of 10,000, and the Orm Messiah fanatics with poor combat skills but deadly weapons. ”

"Oh, and," said Dassadra's face gloomy, "and the number of slaves and technicians needed to survive. ”

"That's right." The Apothecary Master was very calm, "But we still have the Primordial and this great flagship at the foot of the Primordial. You should have seen what happened near Mandeville point. Tell me, Dasada, 10,000 years ago, did this mighty warship have such an immovable iron wall? ”

"That's really not," the veteran of the Eternal Long War also had a thoughtful expression on his face, "To be honest, I've never even seen such an unreasonable Void Shield in my long military career. Praise be to the great Father of Genes! Between you and me—I'm guessing the Iron Lord has made adjustments to his primary weapon array that would make the Corpse Emperor's lackeys stare at each other. ”

"So you see, what we're going to do is actually quite interesting. Destroying a planet is neither new nor difficult for us, and the fun part is to take it down intact. The Apothecary Master led the two of them to a halt in front of the hangar's passage door, "Special infiltrate, Iron Warrior!" He shook his head, "I never imagined that I would ever see these two terms put together in my lifetime. ”

Dasadera stepped forward and opened the hangar door, and Parogov spoke.

"Like you never thought your name would be associated with the Apothecary? Master Hun Suo? He saw the skull mask of Julius, who was performing a blessing ceremony for everyone's weapons in front of the queue, turn to him, and their eyes met behind the eyepieces for a moment.

"Hah! Little Nira Idoa, like I never thought I could have everything I have now. The Apothecary Master of White Armor grinned, and he stepped into the hangar, his snow-white teeth glowing with bloodthirsty metal, "So any bastard who dares to interfere with it, I'll tear his head apart and sew it into his ASS." ”

"That doesn't sound particularly friendly to the person doing the surgery, and the unpleasant smell might be too strong, Master Hunsor."

"It's hard to say, the universe is so big, maybe someone can grasp the benefits."

"It's a pity that the crow was ordered to guard our 'company commander' alone because we were tied, hey, the crow's ability to guard would have been very useful in this kind of operation, and I haven't had time to experiment with that yet."

Thinking of the double helix specimens from Nikonor Sharokin in his laboratory that had just been re-replicated, purified and concentrated, Master Hun Suo, the well-known genetic predator of the Destiny Steel, smacked his lips regretfully, if he had been given a little more time......

"I'm on my way to the other team, Master Honso." Parogov's voice pulled his thoughts back to reality.

"Go, little Nila Idoa, and remember to give them a little apothecary battlefield hand speed shock! Ha! ”

"I will."

—————————————

Clearly, the Council of Mechanical Sages of Bela Karn cared more about the Manifest Destiny Steel's claim to be carrying a large amount of food, freshwater, cargoes and more trade contracts than they had shown.

Because just after the last second of the 30th hour of the chronometer, the bridge received a reply on time that they were allowed to enter the port.

"They really don't seem to be able to hold their breath." Perturabo, Ramizane, Ma'atra, and Sade were at the three-dimensional holographic sandbox on the bridge, and Captain Vought did his usual professional goodness: pretending not to see that the mortal advisor and the beautifully decorated new Daring Do had a seat here, and sat opposite their original body.

A noble but slightly stiff voice came from the fearless of the self-proclaimed Sade, as if the speaker hadn't spoken with his own tongue for a long time, but the hoarse, dry voice filtered by the helmet grid still evoked a soft, ornate way of articulation, though the ruthlessness and determination of the warrior in it could not be ignored.

"Based on current intelligence and action plans," Thad raised his power claw, the tip of which gracefully arced to point to a section of the hologram, zooming it in, "we're going to lower it to a sufficient height after 10 standard terra minutes and connect with the harbor on that large ship repair platform on the near-planet." ”

"My personal opinion is to immediately concentrate all our forces on a lightning decapitation raid on their Mechanical Council, and at the same time use the Ironblood's rapid decompilation technology to break into their main contemplative core," he shook his head slightly with regret, "Of course, because we have special competition needs this time, we will only lock onto the planet's orbital platform and weapon defense array after mooring, creating about 900 seconds of breakout interference time for both teams, and the rest is up to their own plans." ”

Perturabo let out another heavy snort, and glared viciously at the psionic advisor next to him with his eyepiece.

Lamizan coughed dryly, a little embarrassed.

Ma'atra held his staff, her eyes empty, and she muttered "How could this be, how could I fail?" and other headless words.

"So let's see how things play out." Dauntless uttered a singing tone in the roughest of voices, and its winged feathers brushed across the hearts of the living, "Wait and see." ”

Wail.

After writing it, I found that at least this chapter and the rest of the book are unexpectedly serious...... Sure enough, it was full of changes
