Warhammer: Don't Call Me the God of All Machines

Chapter 27 Secrets of the Ultramarines

Nikonna's sword flickered in the darkness, and the decomposition field tore apart its eye-like organ, causing the demon to vent another burst of rage. Then the power sword continued to cut down, turned in a circle, and cut off the sharp beak that killed an extreme warrior.

This dangerous weapon is capable of killing a fully armed warrior, despite appearing to be nothing more than a simple bony organ.

Hill followed closely behind, and stabbed the opponent's exposed throat with the electromagnetic sword, revealing pale pink flesh and transparent bones. This ghost thing also has organs similar to those of living creatures.

The demon was roaring, and the damage it suffered became more and more severe. If it suffered a fatal injury, this body in the material world would not be able to withstand the power of the warp, and it would be exiled back to the chaotic ocean.

The two continued to distract the demon's attention, preventing it from concentrating on dealing with a Space Marine. As its body was completely cut open, a large number of mortal soldiers and the bodies of dead Space Marines slid out.

They were beyond recognition, most of them melted by the horrible digestive fluid, leaving only vaguely discernible bones and metal armor.

No one wants to be eaten by a demon, which would be more terrifying than death. Their souls do not dissipate, but continue to be tortured by the evil creatures of the warp.

"The bombs are roaring, and its vitality is rapidly decreasing. It roars and uses its long tail to ward off those annoying attacks, and it has already thought about escaping."

"The demon is highly intelligent and it wants to run! Stop it!"

Hill's anti-demon tactics are constantly being improved, and through actual combat tests, more of his conjectures have been confirmed.

Demons are more vulnerable to metal weapons such as swords, and fire has a good killing effect on them. There are no obvious vital points on its body, and its vitality far exceeds that of all the alien enemies it has encountered.

However, they are not invincible, and can still be killed - or exiled - if enough damage is inflicted.

The demon fled extremely fast, slithering like a snake, and soon escaped into another cabin.

But this is exactly what Hill wanted. He and the Ultramarines around him took out all the grenades and threw them in before the hatch closed.

Everyone immediately lay prone. A violent thunderstorm broke out in the closed hatch. The high temperature and shock wave released by the high-energy grenade almost shook the hatch open. Molten iron and flames gushed out from the gap, and the demon that escaped in was turned into ashes.

"With sufficient firepower, this won't be difficult. Even demons will be killed."

Hill wrote down the last point, and then he transmitted the summarized points via radio communication to all the Ultramarines and mortal soldiers on the ship who could receive the signal.

"Don't be afraid, they are just a new kind of enemy, and we now have a way to deal with them."

"Don't be afraid, they should be afraid of our courage."

"We are the Emperor's angels, we are the Primarch's loyal heirs, we are the Sons of Vengeance!"

The loud battle cry resounded in the ears of every loyalist, and under his encouragement and inspiration, more and more people also shouted the battle cry together.

The Ultramarines regained their brave and fearless posture, and were even more passionate and ferocious in morale.

The mysterious veil of the devil was peeled off layer by layer, and Hill's voice guided everyone and eliminated the fear in their hearts.

"A qualified leader." Marius couldn't help but sigh in the crowd.

The onboard combat team, led by Hill and Nikonna, was rapidly expanding in numbers. They had slain over a dozen monstrous demons, steadily gaining experience in combating them. A single Ultramarines struggled to cope with these grotesque Warp creatures. Their strength, speed, and even venom posed a deadly threat to the Astartes.

But this is not an insurmountable limit. Relying on teamwork, the Extreme Warriors can even kill the enemy without injury and completely exile them from the real world.

The Ultramarines may be inflexible due to their doctrine and training, but if put into the rhythm of war, they will unleash the greatest power of all the Astartes Legions.

After just a few times of cooperation, these experienced soldiers have mastered how to fight in coordination and how to launch targeted attacks on the demons.

This also means that combat efficiency has skyrocketed, and the Ultramarines are taking the battleships back from the enemy.

The safety hatch opened in front of the Ultramarines, followed by the explosion-proof curtain, and the flagship's auxiliary bridge appeared in front of everyone. Macragge's Glory couldn't have only one bridge, and after the main bridge went down, this auxiliary bridge played a role.

The control tower and workbench in the entire cabin began to start up, and the automatically running command system began to regain control of the entire warship. Technical sergeants and mortal officers worked side by side, and running figures became busy in the bridge.

Gage holds the third key besides the original body and the captain, and among the personnel present, Captain Houmid of the Holy Salamans is undoubtedly the best candidate for the new captain. He was stuffed into the lifeboat by his adjutant before his warship was destroyed and captured by the flagship.

He handed the key to the experienced and accomplished captain, who would take command of the entire flagship in place of the sacrificed Zedov.

There is no possibility for the new captain to refuse. The 13th Legion fleet is now in crisis, and no matter what the personal reasons are, they are extremely insignificant.

"I'm ready, Chapter Master." The new captain replied in a voice as cold as a machine.

Houmid, Marius and senior technicians came to the main console. After key review and genetic testing, Houmid's biological information was entered into the flagship Thinker system.

Through a neural link, the new captain felt the sacred machine spirit of Macragge's Glory, a great entity mourning the loss of its primarch and its predecessor.

There is not much time to grieve, we must cheer up.

He did his best to comfort the machine spirit, share its pain and sorrow, convince the machine spirit with his sincerity, and then activated the scanning array under Marius's command.

"I need to know the situation outside the battleship and how many enemies are surrounding the flagship and want to desecrate this sacred ship."

What the Chapter Master did not say was that he wanted to know if the Primarch was still alive.

But he couldn't speak, because not everyone knew the whereabouts of the Primarch, and if the Father of Genes was really dead and this news was known by most people, it would be a real disaster for the Thirteenth Legion.

With the death of the Primarch, all Ultramarines will fall into a true frenzy of relentless violence, and rage will overwhelm their minds, which means losing their lives in the war.

Marius Gage had to keep his secret at least until the war was over.

Even if he was judged and cursed by his brothers later, he had to keep the secret.

The battleship was restarting, and astronomical amounts of data were being processed in the Thinker system. Soon the captain reported several abnormal locations, which were suspected to have been attacked by the Word Bearers.
