Warhammer: Lord of the Endless Monsters

Chapter 328 Strengthening Titus and heading to Fenris

"Lord Rhodes, I think I am more suitable to be a pure warrior, leading hundreds or thousands of brothers to charge into battle. Perhaps I can better play my role here. Or I can be your personal bodyguard." Titus said.

I can be competent as a company commander, and just barely adequate as a regiment commander, but when it comes to being a legion commander leading a hundred thousand men, I am a little incompetent.

Managing an entire legion, hundreds of chapter masters and 10 brigade commanders made Titus a little confused. He had only served as a second company captain among the Ultramarines for 10 years!

How could Titus be qualified to be the deputy commander of a legion commanding 10 space marines?
If I were in this position during the Great Crusade, I would have even reached the level of troops commanded by some Primarchs!

"What do you mean, Titus? Your deputy commander has done a good job, and the troops under your command are also very brave.

I have been through several wars and your performance has satisfied me. Why do you say you are incompetent?" Rhodes asked curiously.

This subordinate who had followed him the earliest was actually a little unconfident. What was the reason? Did Titus suffer a setback recently?
Could it be that Titus felt a little uncomfortable because he did not choose to bring Titus with him when he went to the Space Wolves' home planet this time?

"Sit down and talk to me slowly. Tell me everything that's on your mind." Rhodes patted Titus on the shoulder and asked him to sit in front of him.

Titus slowly breathed a sigh of relief, then nodded and began to express some of his thoughts.

"Lord Rhodes! I just have a clear understanding of my own abilities. I have an absolute talent for fighting. No matter what enemy I face, I have the confidence to defeat them.

In terms of courage, I am confident that I am not inferior to anyone. I am fearless. Even if facing a Chaos Evil God, I dare to swing my sword bravely.

But when it comes to major corps-level decisions, I am still a lot behind. I even think some of the brigade commanders who have emerged in our corps are better than me," Titus said.

After following Rhodes for more than a year, this feeling became stronger and stronger. Perhaps he was really not suitable to be a deputy legion commander.

"Oh! So you feel that your command ability is lacking?"

"Yes, Lord Rhodes! My ability to command a large army is still far behind. Compared with Lord Creed and Marshal Avarrich, I am far behind!

Even the new member, Titus, is stronger than me, as are the Grand Marshals of the Black Templars. "Titus said.

"You have Pastor Magro to assist you, and you also have brothers who once fought with you in the Death Watch, going through life and death together.

In the small legion that you lead, there are indeed many people whose abilities are greater than yours, but your position is indispensable because you have gained the trust of everyone and you can lead them together.

I don't need you to have any advanced military strategies, because the people under your command will help you and give you advice!

What you need to do is very simple, that is, to lead them. As for commanding a large army to fight, I am actually not good at it. "Rhode said.

The deputy commanders that he selected had to have leadership qualities. Former Lord Creed of Cartier could command the defense forces of an entire planet, and commanding a 100,000-man Space Marine Corps was no problem at all!
He also has his daughter, Aunt K, and a large group of former Cadia military commanders. He can be said to have the strongest overall combat power in the Rhodes Legion.

The other is Marshal Avarrich of the Black Templars. Every marshal of the Black Templars is capable of leading an expeditionary force and has rich combat experience.

Now, several of his marshals who came from the Black Templar have taken up the positions of chapter leaders, and one of them was even promoted by Rodbobatig to brigade commander.

Compared to these people, Titus probably felt that he had no strengths. The highest he had ever served was just a company commander. But you have to understand!
Avarrich's position as Grand Marshal of the Black Templars back then was just an ordinary company commander's position in the Ultramarines, but you're the captain of the second company, second only to the captain of the first company!
And how could you say that Titus has no leadership ability? Calgar would not make a mistake. After returning to the Ultramarines, he also appointed Titus as his adjutant!

It can be said that he has great trust in Rhodes, so no matter from which point of view, Titus has comprehensive abilities, and he has participated in battles of all sizes with Rhodes, so he has rich combat experience. There is no problem for him to serve as a deputy legion commander.

Rhodes explained all these principles to Titus.

"I know what you're thinking, Titus, you once defeated a Custodes!

Before you followed me, you served as the captain of a company. You faced green-skinned Orks, Chaos traitors, and a being who almost became a demon prince.

After joining Deathwatch, you've faced various alien races, and even fought a bloody battle with the Tyranids on the planet where we met?
After that, you followed me to participate in battles big and small, and I was very satisfied with your performance. If you say that you are not suitable, then it means that I have misjudged you.

Were all the brilliant achievements you showed before fake? So be more confident in yourself. " Rhodes said with a smile.

It seems that the addition of several great expedition marshals of the Black Tang Dynasty, Lord Creedburg, and the Space Shark Regiment have made Titus doubt his own command ability.

"Lord Rhodes! I! Thank you for your trust!

I understand. I won't let you down. I'm not good at commanding, but I can ask my colleagues for advice and learn. "Aitus took a deep breath and nodded firmly at Rhodes.

"That's right! This time, as the deputy commander of the army, you will follow me to the home planet of the Space Wolves, Fenris, together with the brigade commander of the Space Sharks, Thedaros, and the newly joined Black Templar War Marshal." Rhodes said.

"Well! Lord Rhodes, thank you for dispelling my doubts, but I think there is one more thing you need to put on the agenda!" Titus said.

"Oh! What's the matter? Tell me."

“Lord Rhodes, I think you should form your own personal guard, just like the Honor Guard!
They are separated from all chapters, brigades and legions and are your personal guards with at least 100 people. In terms of strength, you must choose the most capable people in the entire legion.

I think the standard should be based on the Custodes, and all of them should have the strength to defeat the Custodes, and they should defeat them easily. "Titus said. Among the Ultramarines, there is an army that is dedicated to protecting the Chapter Master and the Primarch. Lord Rhodes' identity is different now, and he needs such a special force.

The new type of modified Space Marines that Lord Rhodes has developed are all competing against the Guards of the Empire, so the selection criteria for this team is to easily defeat a Guards of the Empire.

"Hahaha! You've thought it through very carefully. If you want to form a personal guard, I'll leave it to you!" Rhodes nodded and said.

To be honest, he himself doesn't actually need any personal guards, because if they can really defeat him, they can also destroy all the monsters in his hands.

Then even with a personal guard, he could not save his own life. Now that Rod's giant form could no longer be killed by human lives, even if 10 well-equipped Primaris Super Space Marines came.

That was also a super shock wave, a strong bull-breaking punch, and a super power to kill with telekinesis.

With Rhodes' current superpowers, he can blow off the heads of countless Space Marines in an instant with just a snap of his fingers, effortlessly.

When the combat effectiveness reaches a certain level, the number of people is no longer just a numerical concept. Super life forms can even slaughter all the life on the planet. This is no joke.

But he couldn't let his men down, so he agreed to Titus' request.

"Lord Rhodes, as long as you agree! Grand Marshal Avarrich and Deputy Commander Creed both agree with this matter. We will immediately select the most elite soldiers from the entire legion to form a personal guard. No matter where you go in the future, the personal guard will follow you." Titus said.

"Well! By the way, Titus, I also have something to tell you. You are one of the earliest Space Marines to follow me.

There is a veteran in the Extreme Warriors that I upgraded to a super life form that can grow to a gigantic size.

The guards of the Imperial Guards also received my upgrade and became warriors with the same body shape as the Emperor's Avatar. I think you, as my chief warrior, can also gain this ability." Rhodes said.

As a deputy legion commander, the people under him naturally need to have the ability to grow to gigantic size. Cosmic fantasy beasts cannot be given to him easily, but super beasts are no problem.

Now the super beast transformation of the Abel people has matured. If the human race does not want to change its appearance, then it only needs to use the extra-dimensional energy and the flesh and blood of the emperor's incarnation to fuse into a giant life form with the body of a super life form.

"This! Lord Rhodes! Will you give me this gift?" Titus asked.

His current combat power is stronger than that of ordinary imperial guards, and he can even fight against several imperial guards alone. But if he becomes a super life form and gains the ability to become gigantic, then his combat power will experience a qualitative leap!

"That's right! This technology has matured, so I decided to give you one too. By then, we will use gigantism to intimidate the entire Space Wolves. It's time to turn these disobedient little wolf cubs into good little dogs." Rhodes said with a smile.

The Imperial Guards are almost becoming a counting unit, but now the Imperial Guards include only the giant Imperial Guard guard who has been upgraded.

The others can only bully the Original Space Marines. Compared with the battle-hardened Primaris Super Space Marines, the Custodians are actually not at an advantage.

Of course, except for the simplified version, those original Space Marines with 19 simplified superhuman organ enhancements are still no match for the Imperial Guard.

This time when I go to Fenris by myself, I naturally have to resort to physical surrender. The Wolf Pack also admires the existence of strong combat power, and you have to be servile to them.

Instead, they look down on you and think you are a wimp, so if you can solve the problem with your fists, use your fists. Don't talk nonsense and don't dilly-dally.

"Lord Rhodes, I am willing to be strengthened. I am willing to accept this new power so that I can better serve as your deputy legion commander and better guard you." Titus said.

Rhodes nodded, waved his hand, and took Titus back to the laboratory where the Yabo people and the new Baxter were.

After explaining the situation to his two scientists, the Abel man immediately activated the super beast instrument.

Then he found four emperor incarnations and asked them to contribute some of their flesh and blood. After that, Rhodes spent some system gold coins to repair them.

After obtaining enough flesh and blood, Titus came to the super beast synthesis machine and was injected with red extra-dimensional energy by the Abel people, and then the fusion work began.

Because he was his direct subordinate, there was no deletion of Titus Rod, all the abilities that a super beast should have were given to him, and they were also optimized.

For example, the ability to survive in outer space, fly in the sky, emit rays of light, spray flames, feel no pain during fights, and can perfectly use violent transformations, all of these have been added.

A few hours later, the Ultra Beast Synthesis Machine flashed a dazzling light, and a muscular man wearing silver and red armor and about 65 meters tall appeared. (Here is a setting, the power armor worn by the protagonist army is silver and red, which is the color of the first generation. This color is the origin of all Ultraman. Titus will continue to upgrade in the future. Because the high-level cosmic beasts are to be fused, they must first reach the level of super life forms.)
"Titus, how do you feel?" Rhodes asked as he looked at the gigantic Titus in front of him.

"It feels great! Lord Rhodes! With my current strength, I feel like I can smash an emperor-level Titan with one punch, and I seem to be able to fly." Titus said.

"No, it seems that you can indeed survive in outer space now, fly freely, and emit a kind of light ability, the power of which is probably similar to the Spacium ray." Rhodes nodded with great satisfaction.

Next, Rhodes let Titus spend a few hours getting familiar with his body.

The next morning, Rhodes prepared to enter the palace to meet the Emperor, Guilliman and others, and then head to Fenris, the home planet of the Space Wolves.
