Ten years is already a long time in life for a mortal, but for Space Marines, their service career has just begun.

Ten years ago, under the leadership of Loken, the Expeditionary Force selected the first batch of new recruits and trained them as reserve Primaris Space Marines. Ten years later, these selectees have been fully integrated into the ranks of the Expeditionary Forces Space Marines.

As soldiers who have already undergone a lot of training, these new recruits do not need to go through the one-hundred-year recruitment period like the young recruits. After ten years of adaptive training and knowledge learning, the new Primaris Space Marines began to be integrated into the army.

In each company of Space Marines. In August 2010, the Primaris Space Marines were officially incorporated into the Expeditionary Force system.

After the new warriors were recruited, Horus summoned the captains of each company. He wanted to understand the reaction of the mixing of Primaris Space Marines and ordinary Space Marines.

"Captains Horus, I want to know what the Legionnaires think of their new brothers. I don't think much of Cage's Primaris Space Marines. After all, they are the first Primaris warriors to be put into combat.

Is there any situation where old soldiers exclude new soldiers?”

"This is not the case, Lord Horus, the legion veterans welcome the new warriors. These Primaris space warriors are obviously stronger than the legion veterans in terms of physical strength, but they are inferior in combat skills." Shabran said.

He said, "Our numbers are too small. Only by recruiting more warriors can we return to our world to hunt down those traitors."

When it comes to hunting down traitors, Shabran's face is particularly ferocious. The War Dog Company's hatred towards its own original body and legion traitors is one of the highest among the Loyalists.

"You have to be patient, Shabran, our current strength is not enough to fight tens of thousands of Chaos Space Marines and their fleets. Even if I can banish Angron, I cannot defeat a large Chaos Legion." Horus said,

The Ashes Expeditionary Force will not return to the imperial world in the short term. Returning while still weak is asking for trouble. Ten years of development time is far from enough.

Of course, the expeditionary force has not done nothing in the past ten years. After the coalition government recruited auxiliary forces in the fifth year of the decade, the expeditionary force's battleships were deployed in the orbit of Mars. These new auxiliary forces have not yet adapted.

Fighting together with the Space Marines, Horus decided to go to Mars to find trouble with the betas. Most of the Space Marines of the expeditionary force and the new auxiliary forces fought a low-intensity, high-intensity war with the betas on Mars. This war was extremely

This has improved the combat effectiveness of the entire expeditionary force's marine forces. Although there are still some losses, the overall impact is minimal.

Ten years of rest and recuperation have allowed the coalition government to make great progress in its construction work. One of the symbols of progress is that the shipyard in orbit, which was transformed from the original space station, can start construction of the ancient Sword-class frigate.

The Sword-class frigate is a common frigate in the Imperial Navy. It is ancient and very reliable. These 1,600-meter-long space frigates can be maintained and operated even by personnel with only basic training. Compared with other frigates in the Empire, they have thicker armor and can

The multi-directional laser turret array is an excellent escort for Imperial battleships.

And these "little guys" in the navy will become the first step for the Ashes Expeditionary Force to build its naval strength. Horus has ordered that at least one squadron, that is, six Sword-class frigates, be built in the next ten years.

Of course, these Sword-class frigates do not completely follow the empire's design. The technical heresy of Clexis Sage improved its design after absorbing some MUV world technologies. The introduction of a large number of automated equipment significantly reduced the Sword-class frigate's impact on Crew requirements. A frigate that originally required 26,000 people to operate can now be put into service with only more than 15,000 people after improvements.

Looking back at the earth, the restoration of infrastructure by the coalition government is also extremely impressive. After decades of war against beta, most of Eurasia has been almost completely wiped out. However, with the "generous" help of the United States, , a large amount of industrial equipment was invested in the reconstruction work. Within ten years, a city belonging to mankind once again stood on the Eurasian continent. Thanks to a series of technologies such as the new materials of the Mechanicus, plasma reactors, anti-gravity, etc., The newly built city is far more advanced than the previous one.

In the near future, this planet will become an industrial world, providing more resources and logistics for the expeditionary force.

At the same time, Horus had already positioned the next world ten years ago, which was the cyberpunk world.

This world is very special. Horus was surprised that humans still exist in this world after experiencing nuclear war and the AI ​​rebellion. Some of the technologies in the cyberpunk world are quite advanced, especially in terms of prosthetics.

However, due to the existence of a large number of rebel artificial intelligence, Horus is particularly cautious in deploying this world. Although the AI ​​here is not worth mentioning to the stone men in the imperial world, the precautions that should be taken are not at all There will be less.

This is also the reason why Horus only dispatched a small number of professionals for early-stage lurking. Once the rebel AI knows the existence of the expeditionary force, they will inevitably attack, and there is even the possibility of another nuclear war, but Horus hopes to remain intact to seize this planet.

Horus talks with the Magos of Chrysis and the Adeptus Mechanicus. The cyberpunk world will become a forging world of the Adeptus Mechanicus. The foundation of this world is quite good. In the style of the Oil Man, they will not give up on this planet. The prosthetic technology of this world is a very good reference for the Adeptus Mechanicus, especially the popular transformation of prosthetics, which coincides with the ideas of the Adeptus Mechanicus.

So Horus has long sent an elite team to invade the cyberpunk world and establish an outpost to detect the situation of those AIs. At the same time, they can also backstab any resistance force when the expeditionary force needs it.

Now that the MUV world has gradually returned to the right track, it is time to further expand the strength and scope of the expeditionary force.

As for the original plot development of the cyberpunk world, Horus does not care. Whether it is a company or a rebel AI, whoever blocks the advancement of the expeditionary force will be crushed by huge battleships and space warriors. of crushing.

"Let's get started, everyone, let's see the results of the elite team." After saying that, a golden passage opened in front of Horus, and opposite the passage was the time and space anchor set by Horus. When Horus and the company commander We walked through the passage to the other end, and the chaotic and bustling Night City appeared in front of us.
