In the mouths of many treacherous and alien collaborators
There is such a legend about a group of exiled people-
Since the first day of exile, they were sent to the darkness of the outer land of the Galaxy, where they took revenge on the enemies of mankind, until they finally paid off their sins, their forgotten people were forgiven, defeating the traitors, aliens and treacherous people, and torture them with their own strength.
Their long hunting ran through the entire human history and lasted for a full ten thousand years.
And now, their hunting continues.
"Discover the target, Area 12."
Bell Charles said, looking at his scanner and finding a red biosignal that was approaching them.
The warrior wore an old-fashioned suit of armor, mostly MarkIV type, and a small part consisting of multiple models of power armor, but it did not look cheap under careful decoration.
The shoulder part of the power armor is bronze, and is a white arched Gutera marine predator on top. On the main body of the armor, the seal of the exiled person's honor engraved on the dark gray surface is even more complicated - they cover the armor's metal gloves, arm armor and shin guards in a swirl shape, and the joints are chained.
The relief in the center of the breastplate is a skeleton and a pair of lightning - an ornament of the Guterra War and the first honor of the ancient ancestors.
His helmet was a modified Mark III helmet, with the communication upstream line adorned along the top of the communications antenna being tall and serrated with serrated steel ornaments. At the same time, the face armor around the communications antenna was painted in a large open white mouth, and a blood-red shark sickle-shaped mark was engraved on the left temple of the helmet, which was a symbol of his as the chief raider of the battle group and the commander of the third company.
In his right hand, he held a huge two-handed chain saw axe, the handle of the fine gold axe was engraved with ancient symbols, the trumpet-shaped weapon head had no sheath, the sharp metal teeth on the edge of the spinner were glowing sinisterly, and his left hand was an ancient Seiko bomb gun.
Behind him were 64 Void Brothers, including the Strike Squad, and twenty new recruits, who were walking carefully in the abandoned ship.
Originally, his company had 79 experienced Void Brothers, but the company suffered heavy losses in the battle between Planet Zarak and the Midnight Lord. Even after several rounds of re-subsidy, it still did not return to its original scale.
But the quantity will not affect his determination, and their oath to the Father of the Void will not be shaken by losses.
This is the meaning of the existence of the Man-Eating Shark Team.
However, this operation was different from before. Originally, the man-eating sharks would not accept the employment of others directly, because they were Astarte after all, loyal to humans and empires, rather than mercenaries. However, the price paid by the great sage this time was indeed too high. The battle loss of the battle group in the darkness outside the territory was extremely huge. Although manpower can be supplemented by blood tax and gray tax, the large amount of equipment and cutting-edge technological products required for the war cannot be obtained through conventional means.
In other days, they usually used salvaged scientific relics to exchange the required products with the Mechanism, but the War Chapter did not gain this in recent years, so when the Martian Sage found them and offered a very considerable price, the War Chapter Commander Tiberis agreed to the Martian Sage's request.
This decision was understood by Charles. Although protecting the empire was their first mission, the survival of the war was equally important, and the eternal war would not be able to continue without sufficient material support.
However, during the operation, they did not accept any tactical guidance from other aspects, nor would they cooperate with another helper called by Mars.
It’s not that they have any prejudice against malicious warriors. In fact, the concept of the Man-Devouring Shark is not much different from that of the malicious warriors. They are both highly pragmatism and strong supremacy. Everything is judged by the results. As long as they can win, the sacrifice of mortals is not worth laughing at.
Their real difference is that the Man-Eater Shark believes that even the tiny mortals have their value, even if it is only a few hours or even a few minutes. The behavior of the malicious warriors is too "wasteful". The Emperor's gold coins should not be squandered so much. It is correct to squeeze out their last little value. This is also the root cause of the Man-Eater Shark becoming more and more cruel after floating in the dark for ten thousand years.
Because everything is missing, nothing will be wasted.
"Discover targets, Area 8, Area 9, Area 11—"
Todor, a veteran of the strike team, suddenly opened his mouth and nose painted on the Terminator's helmet, and the pure white plate armor of the Terminator's main body formed a very strong reaction.
But the veteran's words were quickly interrupted by another person.
“The target was found in almost all scanned areas.”
Dico said anxiously.
"The surrounding enemies are growing exponentially!"
"They finally decided not to hide anymore."
Charles whispered, his aiming prism constantly searching for his figure that was traveling through the shadows.
The movement patterns of these gene thieves are obviously more cautious than before. They always hide themselves through bunkers when they move. Once his searchlight shone on a smooth head and chitin carapace, but he never saw the alien with his own eyes.
"Keep in a tight formation, if they charge, we'll drive them back, no matter what happens, this time we're going to push all the way forward and never take a step back."
The company's flag bearer and priest Nikla piously raised the broken flag. More than 60 combat brothers and recruits around him immediately shrank their formation. The recruits were wearing reconnaissance shells, and the veteran's helmets were marked with red arrow teeth in the center - they were red scars, and the emblem would only be obtained after at least ten battles.
The structure of the man-eating shark is quite different from the Holy Book. They do not have special recruit companies. The effective forces of each combat company are about one hundred to one hundred and twenty combat monks and twenty to thirty scouts. It is their ancient tradition to bring old and new.
Shire checked the detector data again and kept remembering the enemy's location.
They surrounded the three companies from all directions, as if the intelligence guiding the alien had seen through his thoughts from the previous battle, so they were ready to cut off their retreat route.
Charles stared at the darkness in front of him, trying to see through the enemy's intentions.
What are they waiting for?
Soon, he knew the answer.
A series of intertwined malicious thoughts suddenly appeared in the mind of the company master, torturing his consciousness, and the soldiers around him also hugged their heads with both hands, twitching in the face of sudden pain, enduring torture from their bodies.
Although Space Marines have a tough will and determination, this does not mean that their spirit is really invincible. In fact, some powerful forces can still affect their consciousness.
