In space-synchronous orbits, the electromagnetic orbits on the launch bays of many battleships have been fully charged.
The Warhawk-type Stormbird large transport fighter jets, as well as many variant Stormbird fighter jets, have received emergency orders and are ejecting into the sky through electromagnetic orbits.
On the Bal-Prem satellite.
The Space Marines of the Ninth Legion could see many strange transport aircraft with short wings, huge and fat fuselages, and they were flying between space starships and the surface with long tail flames.
These large fighter jets, which are far larger than Thunderhawks, are responsible for transporting cargo and troops in the void and atmospheric environments.
They can also provide fire support to ground forces or call in orbital bombardments via tactical links.
The Khonsu Stormbirds are one of the largest Stormbird models currently in existence, and they will carry the Blood Angels Legion's overloaded war tanks back to the starship for repairs.
The Storm Bird modified model can also be equipped with medical equipment to perform emergency rescue operations on the battlefield. If necessary, the pharmacist will ride on the bucket-shaped armored seat in the body.
In fact, there is also a type of aircraft that the Space Marines call the 'Mourning Bird'. They are mostly used to search for fallen Astartes on the battlefield and return their remains to their respective legions.
"Here we come. Our unit is equipped with Stormbird transport aircraft, which are Warhawk type."
Bukaret stood at the entrance to the rift valley, and three Warhawk Stormbird transport aircraft were speeding from behind.
The Thunder Warriors are extremely familiar with these fighter planes that have been deployed since the unification era.
One of the Stormbirds loaded with guards of the Ninth Legion did not stop and flew directly to the Royal Court Lighthouse to pursue their Primarch.
The other two landed at the exit of the Rift Valley and waited for designated personnel to board.
Ans El led the team to turn and run towards one of them, and the order from space showed that the Thunder Warrior Honor Guard was approved to take one of them to the Royal Court Lighthouse.
Another approved medical Stormbird is preparing to carry the injured Thunder Warrior back to the Opal Dragon-class battleship for treatment.
"Commander, eleven people were slightly injured and six were seriously injured."
Thunder Warriors chief medical officer Telfa Foss leads a medical team of thirty-seven people.
But after this battle, there were not as many wounded as there were medical guards.
"What about serious injuries?"
Kab Eric planted the Thunder Warriors' battle flag on the ground and arranged his weapons and equipment.
Telfafus glanced back and saw that basically every injured Thunder Warrior was assigned two medical officers to treat him.
"Don't worry, it has been confirmed that there will be no permanent sequelae."
"Then it's okay."
Commander Kab Eric followed his gaze and nodded to the seriously wounded.
This group of reckless guys went so far as to challenge the company commander-level demons of the Blood Legion, and finally killed them all at the cost of their lives.
"Telfa Foss, there is a medical Stormbird transport plane at the exit of the Rift Valley. You assign several medical officers to escort the wounded to treatment. The remaining members of the medical guard continue to perform tasks with the team."
Kab Eric also received the message from the sky. After whispering a few instructions, he picked up the battle flag and waved the assembly order.
"Comrades, our mission does not end here. We continue to move towards the lighthouse."
"yes."
The Thunder Warriors changed their formation, forming a team of twelve people and moving towards the towering lighthouse at the other end of the rift valley.
...
"Alexander, your warrior is special."
Magnus stood on the cliff of the Rift Valley and watched the entire battle of the Thunder Warriors.
He had read Olmuz's preliminary research on the Thunder Warriors and wanted to find out what the real flaws of these warriors were.
Magnus did not believe that Olmuz's initially confirmed phobia of insufficient firepower and long combat endurance were mental problems that were not obvious flaws.
He has seen Astartes from many legions, and he also knows that each legion has more or less certain genetic defects. This is an instinct coming from the depths of the genes, and is by no means an external symptom of a certain living environment. .
One of the important experiments set by Magnus was to find out all the Legion's problems and try to solve them.
He is not a selfish person.
Magnus is not only worried about the Thousand Sons Legion himself, but also many of his brothers.
"Of course they are special. They are powerful warriors from the unified era, not Astartes."
Sanguinius happened to notice the red figure of Magnus while flying to the Royal Court Lighthouse, so he took Alexander directly to land next to him.
Alexander walked to the edge of the cliff, looked down at the Thunder Warriors who were resting, and couldn't help but sigh.
"But it's a pity that there aren't many of these veterans left in the universe."
"So, you don't have a direct bloodline Space Marine yet?" Sanguinius was a little unbelievable.
He knew that transforming Space Marines required transplanting gene seeds, and gene seeds were inherited from blood.
Several brothers who have not yet returned to the Empire have their own Legions of Astartes, but Alexander does not. This is not something people think about.
"I don't know if there is."
Alexander himself was a little confused. He had never asked the emperor about this.
Magnus was no longer troubled when he heard that the Thunder Warriors were not Astartes.
"Aren't you proficient in genetic engineering? Why don't you know it yourself?"
Sanguinius felt like he was being kept in the dark.
Magnus and Alexander had criminal records, and they had previously excluded him from using psychic powers to communicate quietly.
"Proficiency in genetic modification engineering does not mean that there will be corresponding results."
"Genetic engineering is a very complex subject, and Space Marine transformation is the joint product of multiple disciplines and technologies."
"I'm afraid only my father can do it now, just wait."
Magnus explained all this to Sanguinius.
I wanted to pat him on the shoulder, but was blocked by the broad wings, so I had to retract my hand angrily and stand next to Alexander.
"Let me trust you one more time."
Sanguinius stood on the other side of Alexander, made a fist towards Magnus and lightly punched his left chest twice, indicating that he did not intend to question or pursue him.
"He was born less than a year ago. Even if we use mature technology to cultivate gene seeds, it will take a while."
Magnus was responsible for teaching Alexander psychic knowledge, and the Emperor had opened up some of Alexander's information to him, so he went on to explain it to Sanguinius.
"Yes, and my situation is a little different from yours." Alexander explained to them.
"Actually, that's not the case. Each legion's method of cultivating Astartes has certain differences."
Alexander alone knew of several Astartes transformation surgeries.
In addition to the basic organ transplantation and transformation surgery, the blood raven transformation surgery, and Sanguinius's blood coffin transformation surgery.
