Chapter 288 Nemesis
Qin Xia had seen the warship before, but he thought it was his own warship, so he just glanced up into the sky and did not use his psychic vision to observe it carefully.

It was not until a gunboat fell from the sky during an argument with the locals, and the logo on the gunboat that was definitely not the Twelfth Legion appeared in Qin Xia's eyes, that he realized that the warship was not from the Twelfth Legion.

"The Thirteenth Legion?"

The usually taciturn Caputra exclaimed in a low voice.

As he said, the sudden arrivals belonged to the 13th Legion of the Human Empire, the Ultramarines.

This incident seemed extremely abrupt and shocking to Captetra and the other people present, but in Qin Xia's view, although it was unexpected, it was not completely unexpected.

The reason why he brought Caputra to fight in this world on the northwestern border of the future Greater Nuceria was not to conquer a world, but to go to Ultramar after conquering this world and establishing the border to talk on behalf of the Twelfth and Thirteenth Legions.

Nuceria is not particularly far from the future Ultramar, the latter being to the northwest of the former - this is the direction obtained by dividing the east, south, west and north using Nuceria as the center coordinate of the star map.

It was inevitable that they would come into contact with the people of the Thirteenth Legion, but Qin Xia did not expect it to happen so quickly and so suddenly.

“Guide!” Captella suddenly became anxious. “The people of the Thirteenth Legion are good at winning people’s hearts and ruling a world. If we let them do even one thing here, it may cause this world to no longer belong to the Primarch!”

Qin Xia nodded: "I know. But we came here first, and we will never give up this world no matter what."

Having made up his mind, Qin Xia silently watched everything in front of him.

The arrival of the Thirteenth Legion can at least ensure that there will be no more fighting in this world. They have more warships and can deploy more troops.

It is estimated that in a few days, several thousand soldiers will be airdropped to take control of the situation on the planet.

"Executioner!"

"Executioner!"

People were still shouting, but they were not shouting at Qin Xia, but at the gunboat.

Qin Xia frowned.

At this time, the gunboat slowly descended to a position ten meters above the ground.

The hatch opened and twelve Space Marines jumped out of the gunship in a line.

These superhuman warriors landed safely and easily from heights that would kill mortals, and slowly straightened their bodies. Their tall figures holding bolters and power swords appeared in the eyes of mortals.

The armor of these Ultramarines is mainly black.

On the left shoulder armor was a blue laurel wreath and the emblem of the XIII Legion.

There is a skull symbol printed on the right shoulder armor.

The Roman numeral "XIII", which means thirteen, is printed on the crotch guard of the power armor.

Qin Xia's gaze swept across the bodies of these extreme warriors from top to bottom, and finally fell back to the right shoulder armor, and the word "get out of the way" was about to come out of his mouth.

The arriving Ultramarines have already begun to take action.

Bolters mowed down the gathered civilians, and power swords chopped down those closest to the Ultramarines into a mass of particles.

The Ultramarines went on a killing spree.

The civilians kept calling for the executioner and at the same time began to run towards Qin Xia's armored forces.

These people hid behind tanks and knight mechas, crowded together...

They are very smart and know how to make comparisons. Although Qin Xia and others are also enemies to them, at least these enemies did not start a massacre on the spot like the Extreme Warriors who suddenly arrived.

At the moment the killing began, Caputra saw Qin Xia using his psychic powers, and he was stunned for a moment.

Because the scene before his eyes was too incredible for Caputra, to the point of being earth-shattering.

The XIII Legion Ultramarines have always treated mortals with reason and civilization.

They are not as merciful as the Salamanders, they are like a group of noble nobles, loving and fighting for mortals.

The fact that the Ultramarines were slaughtering the people here shocked Caputra to the same extent as Angron suddenly started slaughtering people around him. These two things were equally absurd.

A psychic barrier rose in front of the armored forces.

People began to gather towards the psychic barrier.

"They are Ultramarines." Qin Xia maintained the psychic barrier and said to Captra, "They are just the 22nd Regiment."

The moment Qin Xia saw the shoulder armor of the Extreme Warriors, he found the meaning of the skull symbol in the corner of his memory - the symbol of the 22nd Regiment of the 13th Legion.

The Ultramarines are not like the XII Legion. They have chapter organizations, and the XXII is just one of them.

The 22nd Regiment was named Nemesis.

A Terran Ultramarines veteran.

These Terrans are known for their cruelty, and they are also good at and enjoy carrying out extermination operations, using various weapons to bring destruction to their enemies, even chemical weapons.

All in all, this is an Ultramarines who is not so Ultramarines, and will be changed by Guilliman later, so much so that Qin Xia did not immediately remember what the characteristics of the Ultramarines with skeletons on their shoulder armor were.

The Space Marines of the Nemesis Chapter fired two more shots at the corpses on the ground, then raised their heads and looked at the psychic barrier, the armored troops behind the barrier, and the people seeking shelter.

More and more gunboats fell from the sky.

One by one, warriors from the regiment jumped out of the gunboat.

One of the soldiers looked like an officer. He landed and crushed the corpse on the ground with one foot. He pulled out the spine of the corpse in the blood, swung it a few times like a whip, and then threw it away.

"How cruel!" The new recruits in Fairbride exclaimed when they saw this scene. "How horrible!"

"Indeed." Captetra nodded and said quickly in an extremely small voice, "But our entire 12th Legion was the same as them before. We really have no confidence to blame them..." The people of the 22nd Regiment of the 13th Legion gathered together and approached the armored forces.

Qin Xia leaned out of the tank and looked at the people in front of him.

The Extreme Warriors stopped and looked at Qin Xia.

The officer said, "We are the Fifth Company of the 22nd Regiment of the Thirteenth Legion. We are on a pioneering mission. Our people were the first to discover this world, and after negotiating with the locals, they left to lead the entire company to conquer this world."

He used a simple and direct sentence to explain clearly what they were here for, why they were here, and who should own this world.

Qin Xia maintained the psychic barrier and said to the officer in a very official manner: "We are the 37th Company of the 12th Legion, and I am the guide of the Primarch. We are also carrying out the pioneering mission to bring this world under the rule of the Lord of the 12th Legion."

Upon hearing this, the Extreme Marines looked at each other, and then out of courtesy and because they did not want the two legions to fight over a world, they all saluted Qin Xia.

If the adopted father of the XIII Legion Master Guilliman was also alive, they would have shown greater courtesy, which was a sign of respect, and in this case, it became a diplomatic means.

The Nemesis Chapter is too lazy to engage in diplomacy or anything like that; they prefer simple and direct conquest, but this simplicity and directness is only for mortals.

However, their chapter would not be so rude when dealing with other legions.

"Do the Nuceria people have a sense of first come first served when fighting for the ownership of something?" The officer took off his helmet, revealing a cold face covered with scars. "Anyway, as far as I know, the Terrans of the 12th Legion have this awareness."

"If we had rigidly followed the first-come-first-served rule, we would still be enslaved by those inferior species who mastered ancient technology first." Qin Xia replied with a smile, "Anyway, when we came to this world, we didn't see any traces of you. You just suddenly appeared, dropped from the sky when we attacked this largest city, and handsomely slaughtered some civilians."

"Civilians?" The officer kicked the corpse on the ground and glanced at the civilians hiding behind the psychic barrier. "They are a group of paramilitary personnel. When ten people from our company found this place and tried to conquer them, they actually resisted. Then my people killed some of them and called the company to conquer this place. This is what happened before."

Hearing this, Qin Xia wanted to continue speaking, but then realized that such an argument was useless and that the other party might be stalling for time, so he took a moment to think carefully.

Can we give up this planet? The answer is no.

Because the thirty or so galaxies within ten light years of this galaxy are all unowned, giving up this place is equivalent to giving up a large area. In the future, the Nukeria star sector will have a gap in the northwest.

And since we can never give up this world, the rest will be easy.

"Since we each have our own opinion."

Qin Xia stood up from the tank named Fairbraid, stepped on the tank armor, and walked towards the ground along the gorgeous decoration.

"Then let's stop trying to convince each other. Just tell me how you can get back to your gunships and get out of here, and tell your Primarch: This system belongs to the Twelfth Legion, your Twelfth Brother, and we give it up."

"Tell me straight out how you can do this."

Faced with Qin Xia's questioning, the Extreme Warriors exchanged glances and then moved a little distance away from each other, holding their swords and bolters tightly.

At the same time, the tanks and knight mechas pointed their weapons at the Extreme Warriors in front of them.

The power disparity between the two sides is so huge that these extreme warriors won't even leave a scratch on the armor, and their entire bodies will be reduced to ashes.

“Who gave you the guts to try to snatch things from the 12th Legion!” Captra’s roar came from the tank, and a heavy bomb was aimed at the Ultramarines of the 22nd Regiment. “Is it because of the current situation of our legion that you think you can snatch things from the 12th Legion!”

"I don't want to escalate the conflict," the officer said. "Your attitude is too tough."

"You are the ones trying to snatch a world that we cannot afford to lose." Qin Xia said, "How about this, you go back and ask the Lord of the Thirteenth Legion, he might be happy to give this galaxy as a gift to his brothers?"

"..."

"..."

Both sides remained silent.

The Ultramarines of the 22nd Regiment thought for a moment, and finally laid down their weapons, preparing to board the gunboat and leave.

"You are right." The officer smiled at Qin Xia, "There is no need for us to fight with a bunch of mad dogs for things. I guess my Primarch would think so too. This world is yours. I represent you."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the landed gunboat.

"Your regiment is indeed a mad dog." Qin Xia said calmly, "Your master, the Lord of the Thirteenth Legion, does not want you to come here and bite people randomly, but because you are his mad dogs, he can only tolerate it. I personally think that his only hope for you now is that one day you bite someone you shouldn't bite and get beaten to death."

The officer stopped.

Before he turned around to look at Qin Xia, his face was still full of anger, but after looking at Qin Xia, he smiled: "Remember, this world should have belonged to us. I don't think our actions will be considered unreasonable by the Primarch."

"Yes, it should have belonged to you." Qin Xia shrugged, looking at the mess with a look of regret. "If you could use your teeth to bite these weak people instead of just biting them, you could have owned this world before we arrived, but unfortunately you are mad dogs."

The officer's face twitched a few times and he turned and left.

Qin Xia looked behind him.

In the psychic barrier, the people who had just gathered to surrender said nothing, lowered their heads, and looked at Qin Xia quietly.

When Qin Xia saw the people from the Goddess of Vengeance Legion coming, he realized why he was called the executioner, because those people had been here before, but they only sent a few people and only called the company after killing some of them.

"Do you have any way to contact people in other cities? I know you are hostile to each other, but I need you to gather here and talk to me." Qin Xia said.

"Will those people come back?" asked an old man in gorgeous clothes.

Qin Xia shook his head: "Not for now, but if you don't listen to me I will leave, and then they will come back, so I don't need to remind you what to do, Lao Deng."

"We'll arrange a meeting right away," the old man said quickly.

Qin Xia withdrew his gaze helplessly.

A Space Marine looked up at the sky above his head, looking at the tail flame left by the disappearing battleship outline: "Their regiment has about the same number of people as our company. A company can use a battleship..."

"Thank you." Qin Xia said to the Space Marine, "But I don't need you to remind me that the 12th Legion is extremely short of warships. I already knew that."
