Chapter 172 The Schwerin Nest doesn’t need so many families

Fu Qinghai and Koshvito walked side by side in the stronghold.

The two have connected to the short-range radio frequency communication channels in their respective helmets and are talking quietly at the moment.

"Do you have an exact time for the Lord Hunt to start?"

"My people have been deployed to monitor several key passages leading to the bottom nest. I estimate that news will be sent back soon."

Fu Qinghai nodded.

The efficiency of human tracking is a bit low. The usual method of Space Marines and Tech-priests should be servo skull detection. Anti-gravity servo skulls are concealed and flexible, and can be loaded with more diverse detection techniques.

But is this a gang under the nest? We cannot hold them to the standards of space warriors.

Fu Qinghai looked around at the facilities and equipment in the stronghold that resembled various training equipment and asked:

"Are you planning to train them?"

Koshvito looked at the enthusiastic Mazai boys in the stronghold and said helplessly:

"Yes, I trained them according to the requirements of ODST, but the basics of this group of people are not very good. The fighting will of the people in the lower nest is not bad, and their brains are fast... but their obedience and discipline are too poor."

"ODST? Helltroopers?"

Fu Qinghai turned his head and said.

"Yes, Helltrooper, you may not know that I served as an instructor for Helltrooper recruits and Spartan-III candidates in the Halo universe for a period of time."

ODST, the full name is Orbital Airborne Assault Force, commonly known as "Hell's Paratroopers". Before the success of the "Spartan" plan, it was the strongest elite mortal force under the UNSC.

The hell paratroopers and Spartans are quite difficult to deal with. Koshvito said it lightly, but being able to become an ODST instructor must have two brushes in his hand.

Koshvito explained with gestures with his hands:

"After my observation, the lower limit of the weapons that can be obtained in the Warhammer 40K universe hive world is not low. The worst are automatic weapons, and laser weapons can also be found everywhere. However, the combat skills and tactical level of the lower hive gang basically remain on Earth. Street gangs fight with guns and weapons, all based on courage and cunning.”

"I think if I can organize them and train them using the training model of the modern professional army in the Halo universe, combining powerful weapons and equipment with advanced combat skills, team awareness and tactical concepts, maybe I can get something done."

"But." Kirschvitto sighed with his hands on his hips, "It's still a bit difficult to actually do it."

No wonder Kirshvitto wanted to set up a gang in the lower nest. It turned out that he had such a plan.

Fu Qinghai nodded approvingly and encouraged:

"The quality of the hive people is not bad. Many Space Marine legions recruit from hive worlds, such as the Imperial Fists. As long as these hive people don't have any strange drug addiction, excessive mutations, and messy... The transformation of inferior prosthetics can be used as a good source of soldiers."

The Night Lords are the least disciplined among the Space Marine Legions. Their home planet is the infamous Warhammer Gotham - the Nostram Hive World. However, this is not because of the home star, but more because of Konrad Curze. own management issues.

There are two hive worlds in the recruitment world of Imperial Fist - Terra and Necromunda. Can you say that the discipline of the warriors of Imperial Fist is poor? It was one of the most disciplined regiments.

Many Space Marine legions believe in the recruitment philosophy of rogue people born out of poverty. After the Primarchs returned to the Emperor's command, the tax level of each legion's home planet was special tax-free. However, most Space Marine legions are interested in building and improving their home worlds. Not much, because they want to deliberately maintain the original state of the conscription world.

Fenris, the home planet of the Space Wolves, and Invit, the home planet of the Imperial Fists, are both cruel worlds of ice and snow. Caliban, Baal, Nocturne and Medusa IV, even the Death World. In comparison, those with mining worlds, wild worlds and feudal worlds as recruiting worlds and legion home planets are relatively mild.

However, Fu Qinghai did not fully believe in the concept of "bad mountains and harsh waters breed unruly people". These cruel environments more shaped the character of the Primarch and his legion, rather than having to be in a cruel environment to select high-quality soldiers. For example, in the end A simple example: Macragge, the home planet of the Ultramarines, and the five hundred worlds of Ultramar under its rule, most of which are civilized worlds and garden worlds. The quality of the Ultramarines' soldiers is not bad at all.

After sharing some recruitment experience and training methods from the Space Marines with the Spartans, Fu Qinghai patted Koshvito on the shoulder and said with relief:

"Be patient and give it a little more time. You can do it, Instructor Kirschvitto."

The training methods of space warriors: mainly refers to how they were tortured by Ogedai.

…

At the bottom of the nest, towering pillars support the dark sky. In the dark and quiet ruins of the swamp, only the dull roar of water pumping equipment from the far side is left, vaguely like the noise from behind.

"Tick."

Willie Thorndike was startled by the sudden sound of water dripping, and turned around to look behind him.

There was nothing there.

Willie Thorndike wiped the sweat from his palms on the armor of his thighs and tightened his grip on the power sword in his hand.

This is a power sword suitable for mortals. It has a semicircular hand-wrapped sword grid. At the end of the sword body, the emblem of the Thorndike family - the bow with a skull hanging on it - is engraved.

Not long ago, during an encounter and firefight with the Bentham family's hunting team, Willie Thorndike got separated from the young people of his family and entered this area alone.

This was an area he had never been to before.

Mountains of ruins, like shadowy hills, and under the calm, dirty water, if you look carefully, you can always see unknown creatures swimming among them.

Willie Thorndike dragged his leg, limping slightly, through the rubble.

His calf had just been pinched by a waste ash clam. This mutated creature that lives in filth and rubble directly crushed Willy's plastic steel greaves. The broken armor pieces were embedded in the muscles, making him The pain was unbearable.

Fortunately, this suit was modeled after the Jakkara Hunter suit from Necromunda Hive, and came with a simple life support system. The analgesic was quickly injected into the body, and the inner fabric under the greaves was quickly tightened and locked. Wounds to prevent blood from flowing out - the smell of blood is a very dangerous signal in the bottom nest.

Willie Thorndike climbed over a ruined hill and finally saw the source of the dim light——

A rusty chandelier stands alone by the water.

Under the mechanical headband on his forehead, different types of lenses were hung. It was these delicate and complicated things that ensured that Willie could still see in the dark bottom of the nest. At this moment, he quickly switched the lenses and put a thick The lenses are superimposed on the night vision lenses, the viewing angle is quickly brought into focus, and the distant scenery becomes clear from blur.

A simple shack made of rubbish, a thin figure wearing a tattered robe, sitting quietly on the shore.

Great, not another Lord Hunter, but an underhive dweller, a prey!

Willie Thorndike was secretly excited.

As he carefully moved his steps and slowly approached the prey, he prayed in his heart:

I hope that the mutation level of this bottom man is high enough, preferably the one with the skull deformed and growing horns, so that by holding his head, I can accumulate points with the hunting lord clan leader.

The Jakara suit is the lightest and most agile type among the Lord Hunter suits, but when Willie Thorndike used it, his footsteps came into contact with the ruins on the ground, and still inevitably made some small sounds, but they were covered in the background noise in the distance. Almost unnoticeable.

After gradually approaching the shack, the thin figure in front of the iron promethium chandelier was already in front of him. Willie Thorndike raised the power sword with his right hand and protected the mirror shield in front of him with his left hand as taught by his family's fencing teacher.

Suddenly, the thin figure with her back to him turned around, revealing a hateful face packed with seven eyes. She stared directly at Willie Thorndike behind her and said:

"Hello."

Hello? What kind of opening statement is this?

Willie Thorndike was stunned.

He couldn't figure out how this ugly mutant found him.

Just when he was slightly dazed, a huge force hit him instantly.

"Bang! Bang!"

A weak light from the force field lit up around Willy's body, and the force field of the mirror shield absorbed the power of this fatal blow for him. However, this force was so powerful that it instantly reached the upper limit of the kinetic energy absorbed by the mirror shield. Then " The "pop" sound was the crackling sound of the mirror shield fixed on his left arm.

Before the pain was transmitted to the nerve center and cerebral cortex, Willie Thorndike found that he had already flown.

Willie was knocked to the ground hard.

When he found that his entire right arm holding the sword had completely disappeared along the smooth and neat break on his shoulder, a bone-piercing pain was transmitted to his perception, and he couldn't help but scream in pain. Voice:

"Ahhh... ugh!"

As soon as the sound came out of his throat, it was covered by a pair of big hands covered with black gauntlets and muffled in his mouth.

A pair of scarlet goggles appeared in front of Willy's eyes.

A deep voice sounded:

"Family name."

"Hmm..."

The huge pain and desire to survive made Willy unable to help but struggle, but in the iron hands of the armored giant, he could not move.

"Remember, you only have one chance to answer. Think carefully before you speak."

The low and terrifying voice continued, and then Willy felt the cold gauntlet covering his mouth loosen slightly.

He said quickly:

"Sang...Thorndike family, I am the twenty-seventh son of Hubert Thorndike. I also have the right to inherit. You can't kill me..."

"Click!"

It was the crisp sound of a broken neck bone.

Fu Qinghai slowly put down the body in his hand, looked at the darkness in the distance and whispered:

"Too many scavengers and too little carrion, unfortunately..."

"The Schwerin Nest doesn't need so many families."
