Warhammer: Lord of the Endless Monsters

Chapter 242 How Poor the Shark Group Is, the Legs of Mark III, the Breastplate of Mark V

The astropath nodded and started communicating with the Sharknado Regiment. In fact, even without the astropath, Rhode could still communicate with them. But now Rhode was the commander, so he had to be fair in everything he did.

"Sir! They want you to tell us the exact number, such as how many sets of power armor there are?" the Astropath said.

She really couldn't understand why this great Emperor's chosen one would hire these space sharks, the worst robbers and thieves in the entire galaxy.

There are even rumors that they have close contacts with some Chaos warring states on the edge of the Milky Way.

Even the gene seeds of their own chapter were robbed. According to reliable information, the Space Sharks have the seeds of many Primarchs, even some rebellious Primarchs.

To say it is notorious is no exaggeration.

"Tell them that there are at least 200 sets of power armor, including two sets of Terminator power armor. I can use these power armor as a reward for their regiment's participation in this battle." Rhodes said.

These bastards are so poor that they won't give up until they get a specific amount.

Rhodes actually has some old-model Terminator armor. When he was in the Dark Eldar's main city of Commorros, he had collected some Space Marine power armor.

Among them was a set of Terminator series, and later Helotia copied another one. The others were old model power armor purchased in Comoros City.

After Titus and his men completed the upgrade, the old model power armor they replaced was also preserved. There were a total of about 200 pieces of these power armors from the Death Watch and those collected from the Dark City.

Rhodes had left these broken power armors in the warehouse gathering dust, but now he could get rid of them.

As for the newer Mark 10 series, there is even a modified version of the Terminator power armor from Helotia, but the production is relatively small and only the most core members are qualified to wear it.

"Lord Rhodes, they said that if you can really provide these rewards, then they are willing to help us and go to Baal, the mother of the Blood Angels, for support." The Astropath said.

"Tell them to get close to my fleet and enter the protective shield, and I want their Chapter Commander Tedalus to come to my mothership in person to discuss the specific cooperation." Rhodes said.

The Astropath nodded and continued to negotiate with the Sharknado Regiment.

"I'm sorry, sir! Their Chapter Master is not here. The Sharknado Chapter is a very special team. They are just a company.

Their captain will be here soon in a landing craft," said the Astropath.

"Oh! Just a company? It seems that they are not as poor as the rumors say!" Rhodes touched his chin and said.

It seems that these space sharks are not as poor as described!
You should know that except for some founding chapters, there are very few Space Marine chapters that can have a strike cruiser of their own for each company.

According to Rhodes' understanding, this group of space sharks should be the entire group driving a broken ship around.

Then it's time to eat again today, brothers! This operation is considered normal!
A few hours later, the Space Shark's battle barge joined Rhodes' fleet, and then a small landing craft entered Rhodes' space carrier.

A tall Space Marine, accompanied by a group of Space Marines in silver armor, came before Rhodes.

The members of the Space Sharks all wear silver armor, but their power armor varies, and many of them wear models from the Great Crusade period.

Some even have Mark 3 legs and Mark 5 chests, with helmets of unknown models.

The weapons they used were mostly chainsaw axes and chainswords, both of which were old models from the Great Crusade. Only the company commander had a power axe on his waist.

After seeing the weapons and equipment of these people, Rhode nodded. This was in line with the image of a poor regiment. They couldn't even get a complete set of power armor.

"Welcome fellow Space Marines from the Space Sharks. I am Rhodes, the Emperor's chosen commander of this long-range fleet." Rhodes nodded to the members of the Space Sharks.

"Hello, Commander, Lord Rhodes, the Emperor's Chosen One! We have not heard of your name before. Have you only recently appeared in the galaxy?" The captain of the Space Sharks looked at Rhodes and asked.

This flagship is extremely huge, probably even bigger than the Phalanx. He has never even heard of a mothership of this level. Who is this chosen one of the Emperor?
He was actually able to command such a huge fleet, and if he was not mistaken, there were also several Black Templars and two Ultramarines' battle barges mixed in it.

This person must be someone quite famous! I don't know if I can get the reward smoothly.

"It has only been less than a year since I was appointed by the awakened Primarch! You haven't heard that I am perfectly normal." Rhodes said.

"??? Primarch? Which Primarch has awakened? How come we don't know?" asked the Space Shark Captain in shock.

Are you kidding me? To what extent have these space sharks derailed the Empire?

Have some of the Primarchs awakened? So they've been lost in the Warp for thousands of years?
"It is the Emperor's 13th Primarch. Lord Robert Guilliman. He has only been awake for a little over a month.

It's normal that you haven't heard of it. This news has just spread in the empire, and many people in the empire don't know about it." An Ultramar commander beside Rhodes said.

"I see! So the one who ordered you to rescue the Blood Angels' home planet should be the newly awakened Primarch, Lord Robert Guilliman, right?" The captain of the Space Sharks asked. "Right! Any other questions?" Rhodes nodded and asked.

"Without a commander, we space sharks have no choice but to take on any enemy of humanity.

Are the rewards you mentioned, especially the two sets of Terminator armor, real?" the captain of the Space Sharks asked.

"So if there's nothing you promised before, you won't participate in this battle?" Rhodes asked with a smile.

"Of course not! Even if we don't have the power armor you promised, it would be fine if you could just provide us with bolters, weapons, equipment and supplies.

After all, you just saved our lives, so helping you fight is a favor.

But afterwards, you have to agree that we can collect a little red tax on some mortal planets." The Shark Captain shrugged and said.

I don't know what's going on in the subspace recently. There are always storms, making navigation extremely difficult.

If they hadn't met each other this time, they might have been lost in the subspace and had no idea when they could leave.

Even if there is no reward, they will still join the battle if they are asked to return a favor, after all, their lives have just been saved.

Afterwards, he can just ask the Blood Angels to help settle the bill.

What? You said you can't pay the bill. Sorry, we space sharks will start collecting red taxes.

At this time, a large group of ordinary Star Army soldiers were stealing and moving some containers over, and then placed them in front of Rhodes and the captain of the Shark Regiment.

After seeing these large boxes, the Shark Regiment Captain's eyes lit up. These huge containers were filled with power armor.

It seems that the commander does not intend to let them collect taxes.

"Don't worry! I won't leave you anything less. I do have some old power armor on my ship.

Some of them are old models from the Great Crusade period, and some are thousands of years old.

And about 70 pieces of power armor worn by Deathwatch, including 2 Terminator models.

There are 212 pieces of power armor in total, 170 chainsaw swords, more than 40 kinetic swords, power fists for Terminators, and some explosive weapons. " Rhodes smiled and opened the huge container, revealing the weapons and equipment that had been gathering dust for a long time.

To Rhodes now, these power armors are pure space junk, but to the Shark Group, they are treasures.

"Hahaha! You are really a man of integrity, Commander Rhodes. We in the Shark Group are not picky. As long as it fits, it's fine.

Many of our recruits can’t even put together a complete set of power armor!” The captain of the Shark Regiment said with a smile.

This time, he could buy a set of clothes for the new recruits in the team, and he could also update the power armor that had been passed down to the previous company commander.

I can also wear the Terminator!

"So! Can you tell me which company you, Space Shark, are the captain of? How many people are there in total? Or how many troops are there?" Rhodes asked.

“My name is Andaris, and I’m the captain of the 7th Space Shark Company. There are more than 10,000 people on our ship.

Some mortal servants, some mechanical servants, and ship sailors, in addition to 100 space warriors. "Andaris said.

"Oh! Can you contact your Chapter Master?
I think you Space Sharks could send more people to support me. These equipments are for your entire regiment, not just your company.

If you only send one company, I won't offer such a high price." Rhodes said.

“Commander, we can contact the Chapter Master, Lord Thedaros, but if our entire Chapter came, the price would not be the same.

Although we only have more than 100 official members, we still have more than 100 new recruits.

So strictly speaking, there are more than 200 Space Marines, so their combat effectiveness is no problem." The captain of the seventh company of the Shark Regiment said.

There were 260 people on his ship, including the new recruits, a total of more than 400 people.

However, the recruits don’t have any power armor yet, but if we can get this batch of goods, they will have them.

As for contacting the entire Shark Group, it is not easy! The Chapter Master has a big appetite.

Rhodes smiled slightly when he heard that. Haha, will your Shark Group abide by the Astartes Code?
