Originally, the 11th Company was planned to be on standby on the flagship, but at Talos's request, Soshyan allowed them to also join the battle.
Moreover, this is also the first time that Sablin and others have fought in Terminators. Although they have received Terminator training before, the time is still short and it is very different from their past flexible fighting style. Many people feel uncomfortable.
What's even more troublesome is that there are 50 new recruits wearing power armor in the 11th Company. These are rookies who have just been transformed. Sablin and the others still have to take care of these people.
If Talos hadn't been there, they would have gone crazy.
"Damn... I feel like these legs aren't even mine."
Li Lin complained as he swept his light through the dark passages around him. The Terminator's servos buzzed along with his movements. His weapons were storm bolters and power swords.
Sablin on the side was holding a chain saw halberd and was knocking on the vent to confirm its strength.
"Stop talking, I'm getting tired of talking all the time."
"At the beginning, I said it would be better to wear the unyielding type. This cavalry type is too heavy."
"You thought you were going shopping and there were other options?"
After hearing Li Lin's endless complaints on the public channel, Sablin turned around and looked at him and said:
"Stop talking, I'm getting tired of talking all the time."
"At the beginning, I said it would be better to wear the unyielding type. This cavalry type is too heavy."
"You thought you were going shopping and there were other options?"
Bahram smiled and bent down and walked out of the cabin on the side, and then looked at Sablin.
"No problem here, a crew quarters, empty."
"This vent is also solid, so don't worry about it for now."
"That only leaves the front area."
Then Bahram turned around and walked a few steps to Talos. The company commander was also wearing a Terminator and was talking to the recruits around him. At his feet were the fresh corpses of two genestealers.
"...Don't be fooled by the appearance of this beast. They look very fragile. In fact, they still have certain attack capabilities after taking two explosive bombs, especially their claws. This is a very scary thing. Don't The Terminator on us is so thick, it’s not much tougher than Ironhide, let alone the power armor on your body, so it’s best to avoid close combat if you can.”
After saying that, he turned to look at Bahram.
"Have you finished checking?"
"Confirmation completed."
"Okay, keep going."
Talos waved his hand and the line began to move.
The Eleventh Company now has 58 people, 23 of whom were the first batch of recruits and are now considered veterans, and the remaining 35 were reformed with the third batch of recruits - this time Soshyan brought the recruits with him. After all, this waste ship is also a good training ground, which is another reason why he chose to play it slow.
As for the defense of the home planet, there are more than 200 warriors left by the Scar of Victory and each chapter there, as well as a certain number of fleets, all the auxiliary armies of the chapters, and the knight family, so there should not be any problem.
The 11th Company entered the last area they needed to clear. This was a small market where residents traded with each other. The space was not large, but the terrain was quite complex and there were many obstacles.
23 cavalry terminators formed a thick high wall, walking among the ruins, while the recruits behind them covered the rear and flanks.
The rays of the searchlight kept scanning the dark corners, trying to find something.
Perhaps because of the suppressed positivity here, the talkative Li Lin couldn't help but chat in the channel.
"Company Commander, I heard that you didn't wear Terminators before, right?"
"It's not that I don't want to. Not everyone can wear the Terminator. Only the elite are qualified to wear it. In the future, if you are lucky enough or unlucky enough, you will have the opportunity to meet those people."
"Those people? What are their names-"
Accompanied by a scream, a slender alien figure jumped down from above, interrupting Li Lin's words.
He looked up, and the others followed his gaze, and proximity alarms sounded from every Terminator's armor.
And Sablin immediately changed his body shape, picked up the chain saw halberd, and prepared to face the attack falling from the sky.
However, the next moment, the enemy rushed out from a wall corroded by acid, and the target was a recruit instead of a terminator.
"careful!"
The recruit heard a warning from Bahram beside him and turned around.
Something crystal-like burst out from the darkness, knocking the unsteady recruit to the ground, and Talos's chain saw split the thing in two from the waist almost at the same instant.
"They're coming!"
The huge corpse fell to the ground with a thud. Others hurriedly helped their comrades stand up, while the attackers took this opportunity to get closer to the lighting range of the searchlight.
Figures covered in chitin carapace and biological armor appeared in front of them. These guys were taller than those they had encountered before, and their shapes were like creatures that appeared in nightmares after being twisted and stretched. .
They have an independent name, aberrations, in the alien register of the Imperial Biological Sages.
These mutated monsters are part of the reproductive cycle of the disgusting Genestealers. Although what kind of strange process creates the aberrations is still unknown. Perhaps it is the quirks of some ancestral creatures that determine their fate, perhaps it is a genetic pattern. It has been distorted. Perhaps the genetic implants of the original host were destroyed and distorted. It may also be that the cross-breeding of chicken thieves appeared in a twisted and chaotic place or the location of witchcraft rituals. Whatever the reason, it created this Creatures, these aberrations stumble through the darkness and inflict horrific violence on their enemies.
Although most aberrations are hybrids, as time goes by, aberrations will also appear in purebloods that continue to reproduce themselves. The spine of this creature extends into a muscular tail, with a sharp enough inverted tail at the end. The hook can cut through muscle, bone, and even Space Marine armor.
What the 11th Company faced was this terrifying biological behemoth.
After roaring, they rushed over, sweeping the rubble in front of them to both sides, screaming and launching an attack with inhuman agility.
"Woohoo! Come on!"
Li Lin raised his storm bolter and fired bolt after bolt at the rampaging monsters, and others followed suit.
Genestealers jumping out of the darkness and ruins were shot, shattered or interrupted, and fell to the ground.
Among them, the obviously huge aberrations dispersed nimbly, charging from different directions, running at high speed with four sensitive arms and strong legs, and acid continuously flowing out from their mouths full of sharp teeth - pure blood aberrations The biggest difference between human beings and hybrid aberrations is that they have flexibility that hybrids do not have. The corresponding price is that their fully mature claws can no longer hold weapons.
But that tearing claw is already one of the most efficient killing weapons in the galaxy.
