This Terra is a little weird.

"For the Emperor!"

The veterans of the Dark Angels and Space Wolves walked at the end. The Dark Angel warrior looked at the Space Wolves warriors beside him and was very wary of him. They were obviously veterans of the legion from the same era. Although he understood the function of the Space Wolves Legion... very obscure, this was not a reason for him to be wary of himself.

"Brother Pumi, I see that you are very wary of me. In my memory, the cooperation between our legions was very pleasant."

"Your memory?"

"My memory? Oh, I can only recall that we followed Gene Father to fight against the alien civilization."

".....Don't you know that there was a conflict between the gene fathers of our two legions?"

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

"You talk a lot, unlike the dark angels I've seen, and the decorations on you..."

"Ah, I am a native Terran. I have been around since the Emperor founded the Space Marine Legion. We used to be very talkative. Since my father came back, the culture of Caliban has entered the Legion. We Terran veterans seem a bit out of place. As the war progressed, my old friends sacrificed for humanity one after another, and the Dark Angels were no longer the same as before. But we have reverence for my father in our hearts. We are grateful that he founded a completely different Dark Angel, which has made us more efficient and able to complete the Emperor's mission more perfectly."

"I am different from you. I am a Fenrisian. I have experienced ice and fire to become who I am today..."

Conversations between veterans of the Legion have become a way for Space Marines to pass the time. They recall the glorious days of the past, when the Emperor and the Primarch still walked among the people, reason and science were the melody of the Empire, and the glorious era made them proud.

Just as they followed the Emperor and the Gene-Father in the past, so they now follow the Emperor's Saint, the mortal who witnessed the dark history in the mouths of later generations, and whose light of the Emperor has not yet dissipated.

Luo Chen was sitting opposite Skadi at this time, listening to Skadi telling about her journey over the past six months and the reason for her sudden disappearance.

When Goretia came to find her, Skadi had already fallen into a mental trap created by the sea gods. She finally escaped with great difficulty, and at the same time realized that this kind of thing would have no end, and that there was a voice in her mind constantly calling her.

Gloria came this time to tell Skadi that she had discovered something concerning her, and Ghost Shark's symptoms of madness were becoming more and more frequent. At that time, Gloria suggested taking it away together and treating it at the destination.

They left without saying goodbye because Luo Chen and others at that time would not understand them, and they did not have time to explain to everyone.

"Since you found the voice in your head, you didn't become Ishamara, and of course there is this alien..."

"My blood."

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows and nodded: "Your... alien blood relatives, I want to ask you, the sea attack problem in the past six months has anything to do with you."

"It does matter." Skadi nodded.

"Did you anger them?"

"Yes, we, the deep-sea hunters, have the blood of the Sea Si flowing in our bodies. And Shuiyue and Haimo, they are the Sea Si. We all broke away from the main group. We fought, explored, and searched for answers in that place. We were fighting against the Sea Si every step of the way until I found my blood relative, who broke away from the main group just like me. Then we cured the ghost shark and met the leader of a group of Sea Si. We defeated it, and then we kept heading to Rhodes Island."

"You mean, you killed the leader of a Haisi tribe, which led to the attack of the Iberian Haisi?"

"It's like this. Without Ishamara and the gods, the group has no way to achieve true unity. But the members of the group can sense each other, even though they are divided now. Are you willing to believe me?"

"...The doctor believes you." Luo Chen spread his hands: "I can't get anything out of you here. You have to stay here for a month first."

“Are we still going to be imprisoned?”

Luo Chen held onto the door frame: "No one outside believes you. The doctor will come over. I'll ask Alina to arrange accommodation for you."

"Those big guys will be watching us, right?"

Luo Chen sighed: "Skadi... I follow the rules."

"One day, you will be overwhelmed by the rules."

"So after Hai Si's matter is over, I will no longer care about anything else. The tea is getting cold. Here is the top-quality tea from Yan Country. I'll give it to your...alien blood relative to try as well."

"Thank you for your concern."

The white sea urchin that was wrapped around Skadi cried softly, and Skadi touched its head.

"It's okay, he's a good guy and will protect us. Even though he looks fierce..."

"Roar......"

"Yes, if we return to the group, we will have no friends. He... will kill us without hesitation. We are alive today thanks to the doctor. She once said something to Luo Chen that made him hesitate. Don't fantasize about having such good luck in the future."

"Roar....."

"Hmm? What do you mean by later? I...can't get rid of her. I don't know when she will take over my mind. Now I can barely hold on, but I really don't know what will happen in the future."

"Ho ho ho..."

"Well, a lot of them died in the war, huh? No, I can't go to a large group, I'll go crazy, and then, I really won't be Skadi anymore."

"Roar....."

"No, no, I found you because of your call. You are my blood relative, I will protect you, but, Doctor, Captain, Luo Chen, they were all forced to make a choice. Skadi and Luo Chen are friends, but Ishamara and Luo Chen are not. Ishamara is non-human to him, an existence that needs to be eliminated. I... should hold on strong, just like Shuiyue, Haimo and the captain. They can resist the call of the large group. I..."

Luo Chen left the prison cell. The sunlight was very dazzling. He took a breath of fresh air. No, it was not that fresh. The smell wafting from the factory was gradually changing everything around him.

Luo Chen dialed the doctor's number.

"Hello? Luo Chen..."

"Doctor, I... am sorry for what happened before... Skadi is fine, probably."

"I already told you."

"I understand, but people outside won't believe what you said."

"Are you calling me to send her back to Rhode Island?"

"No, Doctor, if you could come to Longmen, you would see that thousands of eyes are watching Cardia's every move. If I send her back now, both you and I will be doomed."

"Haha, you have those Space Marines, what are you afraid of?"

"Their duty is to protect humanity, not to kill it."

"So, Skadi, are there other operators who can only stay in Cardia and be imprisoned?"

"House arrest, Doc."

“It doesn’t sound any different.”

"I know that what happened two days ago made you resentful..."

"I don't hate you, Luo Chen. On the contrary, I pity you. You have the power, but you keep saying that you have to do your duty and voluntarily let the earth use you as a war machine. You told me that you are tired. Aren't you always using yourself as a machine now?"

"...I, can't refute you, Doctor."

"Luo Chen, we must save Skadi. More importantly, we must save you. You have to wake up!"

"Hey...Thunder Eagle is always here. I'll give you his number. If you want to see Skadi, come over. I...have to go get busy now."

"...Luo Chen, everything will be fine."

"Haha, don't imitate that old lynx's tone."

"I was serious."

"Well... I'll wait for you to come, and then we can discuss it. Now, I need to go to work."

"good....."

Chapter 210 Special Operations

A week after Skadi and the Deep Sea Hunter were under house arrest, the Doctor, Kal'tsit and Amiya came to Cardia, and their request to meet with Skadi and others was naturally granted.

Afterwards, the doctor wanted to take Ghost Shark away. Luo Chen saw that Ghost Shark did not have many symptoms, and she was forcibly taken away by Gloria at that time, so she should not be their accomplice, so he simply let her go. After all, everyone's attention was on Skadi.

For the Doctor and Luo Chen, a rift appeared in their relationship. After all, it was Luo Chen who was at the gates of the city. Although he was helpless, the Doctor still had some grudges in his heart.

This will not affect their daily communication, but when it comes to major issues, it will probably be difficult for Cardia and Rhodes Island to be of the same mind in the future. Perhaps they can reconcile over time.

A week later, Hai Si attacked the earth again. This time the attack method was very strange. Only a large number of terrifying fish could be seen. Those giant terrifying fish creatures were nowhere to be seen, and even the human-shaped Hai Si were gone. Although the offensive was huge, it was not strong enough and was easily repelled by the steel defense line.

The three mobile warships have arrived at the defense position and successfully connected the entire first line of defense. The Patriots firmly believe that before Hai Si captures this place, they will definitely pay an extremely huge price.

However, the emergency news three days later made everyone's mood drop to the bottom. The Hai Si made a detour again and landed on the steepest coast of Iberia, breaking through the defense line there. Leading the way were the humanoid Hai Si. Their attack position could completely bypass the defense line and go straight to Iberia's mobile city.

But sea sieges did not only appear in Iberia, but also on the coast of Rem Bito. The Second Legion was suddenly in a dilemma. They now needed to support two places, but by the time the support arrived, it was too late. There were still a large number of residents on the coast of Rem Bito and the inland areas behind it who had not retreated. Even if the mobile cities could run away, the residents of the fixed settlements could not.

It is impossible for the Second Army's marines to reach these two places instantly, and they can only airdrop a small number of paratroopers to provide support, just like they did to support the defenders of the Dotre power station.

These weak lines of defense could not hold out for an hour against the huge army of terrifying fish led by the humanoid Hai Si. They were supported by laser guns and air-dropped Chimaera armored vehicles.

But their numbers are too small. The purpose of the sea urchins is to devour all the resources and residents. They can completely bypass the Chimera armored vehicles and will not bite if they cannot. They will only target your population and resources. Human attacks can only harm some individuals, but for the large group of sea urchins, even if a lot of the urchins die, there will not be much loss.

Moreover, it was not safe to stay in tanks and armored vehicles. Those mental attacks could easily penetrate the defensive materials and hit the human brain directly, making it impossible to defend against them. There was also an absolute gap in numbers, so the local defenders and some temporary troops formed by the Star Army paratroopers were almost completely defeated. Before the reinforcements arrived, their defense line was broken through by the army of terrifying fish.

They didn't stop until several Lemanus arrived, but they only blocked the attack. They had no strength to fight back. Too many people died in the attacks of those humanoid sea creatures. They were already outnumbered, and now the situation was even more difficult for them.

The commander died along with the rearguard troops during the retreat, and his replacement is now a paratrooper captain.

It will take at least three days for the main force of the Second Corps to arrive, and the Thunder Eagle cannot send many people. For the Second Corps, their focus still has to be on rescuing Rem Billiton, especially the factories and facilities distributed here. Millions of people still rely on the products produced here to survive. They must protect this place at all costs, even if half of Iberia is lost.

The Patriots couldn't get over the reserve team they had, so he finally called the person who could help them the most at this stage.

After hearing this, Luo Chen agreed to the Patriot without hesitation. In addition to the people in the factory, Cardia dispatched a total of more than 2,000 people to Iberia on Thunderhawks and the first batch of produced aircraft. As for Rembilton, Luo Chen commissioned Space Marines to rescue and block Hai Si's attack.

Because Rembilt is more important at this time. If something goes wrong there, the next ones will be Kazdel and Syracuse. Kazdel is now preparing to participate in the war, and we must not let these Sarkaz people who can become the main legion feel that their rear is unstable. Therefore, sending space warriors to Rembilt is the only option.

Luo Chen, Tallulah and others, along with more than 2,000 employees, rushed to Iberia to see if they could save the situation. At the very least, they had to pin the enemy down on the same level as the first line of defense and prevent them from taking a detour and attacking the Iberian city directly.

The Thunderhawk gunboat and the Hercules transport plane were the first to arrive, and they transported a total of more than 900 people to the Iberian front. The others took the aircraft that had been jointly developed before. The speed was much slower and they had to stop for supplies along the way. It would take at least a day to arrive.

Luo Chen also had no command over the local troops, and he only had more than 900 people of his own at his disposal.

When they arrived at the front line, things were worse than Luo Chen had expected. Hai Si had not yet reached the same level as the first line of defense, and they still had a blocking distance of more than 200 kilometers.

However, where to fight, how to fight, and to what extent all need to be discussed with the command, because this is the Iberian war zone, and operations must be deployed around the defense line. Without the ability to fight back, the defense line can only be strengthened. Sending in Space Marines will only repel them, but will not solve the problem.

It is not realistic to let the Space Marines fight in the deep sea. The ocean is not land. The situation in the ocean is far more terrifying than the terrifying fish on the shore. There must be many behemoths like the ones killed by the castle lord-level knights before in the deep sea. The situation is unclear, and Luo Chen will not easily send Terra to guard.

After negotiating with the Patriots, Luo Chen decided to place the final blocking location on the plain between two mountains, which was more than 80 kilometers away from the first line of defense, and the subsequent terrain would also allow the defense line to be extended here.

But before that, Luo Chen needs to carry out a series of small-scale counter-assault tactics to rescue the retreating Iberian soldiers and the airborne troops of the Second Legion, especially the Lemanus tanks, which will be the key to the subsequent blocking battle.

After receiving the distress signal, Luo Chen and several others divided into groups and led their men to attack in different directions.

Because they brought a large number of plasma and melta weapons, hundreds of people counterattacked the large group in a short period of time. Originium skills also played a big role, especially Luo Chen and Tallulah, W and Frost Star. Since there were many warlocks who could cast large-scale spells, they disrupted Hai Si's offensive momentum for a time.

But soon the people of Cadia led the retreating defenders back to the designated ambush location. The defenders did not flee again, but followed the people of Cadia to defend the position.

The airborne captain took the cigarette from Luo Chen and said, "I often see you on TV, Mr. Luo Chen."

Luo Chen looked at him. A Wolper with such a big tail, would he really not have his hair burned off by the gravity umbrella?

"When did you join the Second Corps? It's full of Ursus people. Oh, the Second Corps was a problem back then. They drank too much and had blackouts and were causing trouble. How did you survive?"

“It’s actually quite easy to blend in with them.”

"Ok?"

"That means I can drink more than them. For example, if I can make the company commander fall down drunk, everyone will be nice to me."

"......Fine."

"I have not heard of the Astra Militarum hiring mercenaries to fill out the battle lines."

“It didn’t exist before, but it exists now.”

Late in the evening, the wave of fish-fearing creatures finally appeared at the end of the horizon. Arriving before them were a large number of drifters and the spreading Abyss. The retreating defenders and paratroopers did not drop incendiary bombs to burn the Abyss. These living organisms were estimated to have covered the entire southeast coast. If this expansion speed was not restricted...

"Mortar team, fire two rounds of incendiary bombs. Don't let those abysses infect our feet."

"Two rounds of incendiary bombs, received."

Crisp sounds rang out one after another, and burning shells fell on the path that Minghen had to take, igniting the withered weeds and starting a raging fire. A small part of Minghen was burned by the flames, and then, as if it had gained wisdom, it stopped extending.

But the school of terrifying fish would not stop. The humanoid sea heirs used the Originium technique to fan open a corridor, allowing the Sprinters and Piercers to rush through. The mother sea heirs sprayed the urchin-shaped terrifying fish like mortars not far from the position.

The raiders and sea urchins were then killed by mines. Hearing the explosion of the mines, the mortar team immediately fired flares, illuminating the dark night as bright as day.

Heavy slashing rifles and the roar of plasma tore through the faster runners, while Cadia's elite snipers mowed down the spitters.

Luo Chen suddenly felt a strong dizziness in his brain, and then blood came out of his nose. He looked at those humanoid sea creatures through the peephole. They were surrounded by magical light, which must be them launching mental attacks.

"Demolition team, kill those humanoid fish monsters and send these aliens to hell!"

W could no longer hold back and pressed the button of the detonator. Suddenly, a violent explosion occurred on the mountain, blowing down a huge amount of rocks, burying a large number of monster fish, and some human-shaped sea creatures were also crushed by the huge rocks.

Luo Chen didn't know when W had placed the explosives, but she did take advantage of the terrain and made a clever move.

The humanoid Hai Si was still casting spells. Luo Chen found that the eyes and noses of the employees around him could not stop bleeding. Those who knew Originium skills could resist some, but it seemed that the effect was not very good.

Both Tallulah and Frost Star showed some dizziness symptoms, and blood flowed out of their mouths. They didn't even touch the enemy, but such a strange situation occurred. Luo Chen still underestimated the spells of those humanoid sea disciples.

The precise laser guns used by the snipers can penetrate their spell barriers, which makes the humanoid Kaiji alert. After trying to counterattack to no avail, it is worth choosing to retreat.
