Start with Planetary Governor

Chapter 923: The Primarch is also a human being
Human forces began to carry out large-scale airborne operations.

Martins was the one who took the lead.

He was tall, and his heavy feet landed on the ground with a thud, as if there was a small earthquake.

After him, the 'Great Nirvana Guards', who were his honor guards, also fell down one after another.

These elite Phoenixes quickly moved forward to protect their chapter leader.

They seemed quite fanatical.

In the past, the Great Nirvana Guards would of course protect their chapter leader well, as this was their duty.

However, the situation is different now.

In the past, it was a reverence for the most respectable battle brother, the elder brother of the guard, the leader of the guard.

But since Martins was recruited by Mr. Gu and returned, things have been different.

Martins always exuded a kind of blood closeness that made them feel close. This feeling could be felt even from several star regions away.

In fact, before Martins returned, at some point, all the Phoenix and Yellow Spring Gull warriors had this feeling.

They were a little panicked for a while.

Although this feeling... wasn't uncomfortable, it was too special, something they had never felt before, and for a moment they thought something big had happened.

Of course, in fact, something big did happen - their chapter master was promoted to 'father'.

However, it was hard to say, and it was impossible to tell every member of the regiment the exact information. Gu Hang just sent a special instruction to the two regiments to appease them.

Later, when Martins returned, at least the warriors of the Phoenix Regiment knew the source of their special feelings.

After hearing what his battle brothers claimed to feel the blood throbbing in him, Martins didn't say much, but only said that he participated in a transformation experiment similar to the Primaris by Mr. Gu, which strengthened the power of the gene seed.

He knew that was not the case, but he still accepted the statement.

As for his brothers in the regiment, they did not have much aversion to this.

Although natural genetic affinity and obedience can be overcome, why should we overcome it?
Martins was originally their warband leader, a legendary warrior of the Alliance, and an important member of the Alliance's founding team. In the history of the warband, he led the seven surviving Phoenixes and pulled the warband from the brink of extinction to the current status of "the first warband of the Alliance"...

Of the seven Phoenixes back then, only three remain today. Except for the Chapter Master, Martins, the Chief Priest, Rizzo, and the First Captain, Carduso, all the Phoenix Warriors today joined the Chapter after the establishment of the Alliance. Although there are many veterans with more than a hundred years of combat experience among them, they are the first batch of Space Marines trained by the Alliance. But there is no doubt that they are all the descendants of Martins, and Martins brought them up.

It is a natural duty to obey the Chapter Master, Martins.

Now with the added layer of inexplicable genetic closeness, basically no one is opposed to it.

Unless, one day, Martins rebels.

At that time, the Phoenix warriors might still be entangled between the Alliance and the Chapter Master.

But none of them have thought about this issue now.

How could Martins possibly rebel?
……

It is indeed impossible for Martins to resist.

This battle was his first battle after his recovery.

The Great Nirvana Guards he led suffered a strong impact the moment they landed.

The Alliance's airborne landing must have been discovered. The Chaos troops also reacted very quickly, mobilizing heavy troops and rushing over to encircle and suppress the human troops' landing site.

This is obviously intended to inflict as much damage as possible when they have just landed and are still unstable, or even to wipe them out here in one wave when it is the most stable.

The Chaos side also realized that their raid on the church's basement had failed.

This failure was harmless to them. It was just an attempt. If they failed to steal, they failed. On the front battlefield, their forces were still much larger than the human side. It was only a matter of time to take down the church. The surprise attack was nothing more than a delay of time. It was not critical.

In comparison, destroying the human army's airborne reinforcements is a more serious matter.

Although the circling human fighters were engaged in aerial battles with the Chaos aircraft and the Abyss Fire Dragon, they also tried to spare some energy to block the enemies coming from the ground. However, a simple air strike could only cause some casualties and could not form a completely effective blockade.

Still a large number of Chaos troops arrived.

Among them, there are also quite a few Chaos Space Marines.

At this moment, there was a Chaos Gang of at least a hundred people, targeting Martins and others who had just landed.

Their number is five times that of Martins and his Glory Guard!
After all, even Martins could only parachute down from a Dragon Elephant fighter. It was already good enough to stuff 20 Great Nirvana Guards into the Dragon Elephant fighter, and there was really no way to have more troops.

Although these Great Nirvana Guards looked well-equipped, half Terminator and half fine power armor, they looked very heroic, but so what? The Chaos Warriors did not believe that they could resist five times their number.

Not to mention, in addition to the Space Marines, they also have a large number of Chaos Wizards and Chaos Cultist soldiers accompanying them in battle.

This small group of pseudo-emperor lackeys that had just landed was just an appetizer. After they had captured these twenty people, they would continue to maintain their current size and continue to search for other prey in this landing area and eliminate them.

In their view, these pseudo-emperor's lackeys were courting death by rashly airdropping at such a close distance.

In this case, they would not hesitate to accept all these heads and transform them into the grace of the evil god they believed in.

However, after the battle began, they all acted as if they had seen a ghost.

These twenty warriors of the Phoenix Regiment are a bit absurdly strong.

Almost every one of them has a strength level above that of the company champion.

In the long-range shooting, they were obviously much fewer in number, but they didn't suffer much. The long-range firepower of the Great Nirvana Guards could always accurately hit the core units of the Chaos troops. On the contrary, the Chaos attacks were very likely to be avoided. Even if they were not able to avoid it, the ten Terminators, carrying micro energy shields, helped their comrades block the damage.

If during the long-range fire exchange, one only felt that the opponent was powerful, when these Phoenix warriors launched a unified swift charge, broke into the chaotic array, and the two sides engaged in close combat, the gap widened even more.

Among the Chaos War Gang's hundred-man team, only a few could stand up to a Great Nirvana Guard in a one-on-one duel. The rest would need at least three or five people to besiege together to barely resist - and one person would die from time to time.

The most eye-catching one was the one being protected among the twenty Phoenix elites.

He was taller than any other Space Marine. This difference in size could no longer be explained by individual differences, but more like racial differences.

At first, he was protected in the middle and didn't reveal anything. The Chaos side could sense that he was an important unit, and many explosive bombs and Chaos magic were fired at his head, but they were all blocked by the Phoenix Terminators.

However, when the melee broke out and he was not so well protected, many Chaos Warriors who were eager to make a contribution set their sights on him, and deliberately found gaps to attack him.

Then... they saw what true horror was.

With the holy sword in his hand, no Chaos Space Marine who dared to get close to him could be his match.

No matter if you were a slayer of thousands, a hero of ten thousand, a veteran soldier of ten thousand years, or a chaos champion, all of them were struck by a sword that was so clear that you couldn't even see it, and your life ended in various forms.

The climax of the war fell on the leader of this chaotic war gang.

He is a true Chaos Champion. In the previous battle, he has personally killed two Great Nirvana Guards.

But it couldn't stop his gang from collapsing.

He even suspected that as long as two or three Phoenix elites targeted him at the same time, even if he didn't die, he would be entangled, and then he could only watch the remaining ten or so people continue to slaughter their group of combat power.

If you want to turn the situation around, you can only go find that tall guy who looks a bit scary, but you have to face him head-on.

And Martins is also striding towards the championship of this regiment.

In Martins' opinion, this guy's strength level was about the peak among the company champions, and he was only a step away from the level of the chapter champion. If he continued to fight, maybe he could kill one or two more of his guards.

He doesn't allow this to happen.

The two men walked towards each other, and the Chaos Champion shouted and raised his sword. Under Martins's pressure, he felt that the Chaos blood in his body was boiling, and his condition was extremely good. The next sword would be the best sword in his entire life. He even had a vague idea of ​​breaking through in the battle. That feeling of enlightenment made him feel very good.

So, next...

'clang', 's ...

Three sounds were uttered almost instantly.

The first clang was the sound of Martins' sword colliding with the Chaos Champion's blade. In a flash, the Holy Sword accurately caught the Chaos Blade's weak side and pressed it down.

The second 'swish' sound was the Holy Sword's downward force, not only blocking the Chaos Blade's slash, but also cutting downwards and deep into the Chaos Champion's chest, slicing open his solid breastplate that was blessed with the evil magic of the Warp like tofu.

The third 'ugh' was the Chaos Champion's last groan in this world as his still moving lips uttered the separated half of his chest, neck and head and fell to the ground.

This was the thirteenth Chaos Space Marine that Martins had killed on the battlefield.

He was not at all moved. Even though this guy was actually quite strong, for him now, the result was not worth mentioning at all.

In fact, it was already good enough for him to put 10% of his energy into the sword in his hand. He really didn't need to pay more attention to the enemies in front of him. The casual swing of the sword and the instinctive dodging allowed him to enter and exit the no-man's land and kill the Chaos Warriors one by one.

He focused the rest of his energy on commanding operations.

He was constantly collecting information about the entire battlefield and issuing instructions one by one to each airborne combat team.

This is the biggest change after he was reborn.

If Martins, as a chosen champion, could kill five times as many enemies with twenty Great Nirvana Guards in the past, and could quickly kill an opponent who was not even at the level of a regiment champion, he would never be able to do it so easily, and it would be even more impossible for him to fully analyze every bit of information on the battlefield in his brain and make the best judgment in a split second like he is doing now.

For the entire army under his command, he can give specific command to each company in the mortal army; he can issue specific instructions to each squad of thousands of Space Marines.

There is no need to question whether his command of "machine gun five meters to the left" is reasonable. The information received by his brain and the analysis and judgment made are the optimal situation.

The ability to observe all the details that had been completely unnoticed in the past, to analyze and issue orders at lightning speed, was something he would never have been able to do in the past.

Martins once considered himself an excellent combat commander, but it was impossible for him to reach this level.

Not to mention doing this while fighting, even if you were at the center and commanded wholeheartedly, it would still be impossible.

This is not something a human being can do.

Not even a 'superman' like the Space Marines.

Unless, he has completely broken away from the concept of "human"...

No, I can't think any further.

He is a human being, of course he is a human being.

Mr. Gu thinks he is an ordinary person, the emperor thinks he is an ordinary person...then I am also an ordinary person!

What reason does he have to think otherwise?
Under the personal combat of Martins, who was born as a human, the most important vanguard of the Chaos army sent to encircle and suppress the landing site of the human army was slaughtered.

Under his command, the human troops that landed on the ground either defended on the spot or moved quickly, and soon gathered together to form a battle formation.

Then, they not only defeated the enemy's encirclement and suppression in front of them, but also, under the command of Martins, quickly attacked the main force of the Chaos Army!
Under their fierce attack, those chaotic enemies had almost no ability to fight back!
