If you put it in the Warhammer world, then probably any ordinary person in the human empire would answer you that he is the demigod of the empire, the defender of human civilization, the emperor's messenger walking in the world, and the symbol of force of the empire.
Perhaps you may be wondering, for the Human Empire, which has the Emperor Titan as tall as a mountain range and battleships with destroyer-star firepower, why would a group of space warriors be called a symbol of the empire's force?
The reason is simple, because those steel creations cannot express their power to you intuitively, but the Space Marines... they are really powerful.
After a total of nineteen or twenty-two transformation surgeries, it will take a full ten years to complete the entire transformation process, and it will take a full hundred years to participate in various battles to cultivate a qualified space warrior. What do they have?
The reason is not strong?
Two hearts and three lungs, adamantine bones, strengthened muscles, new blood-forming organs, a reconstructed nervous system, a stomach that can resist toxins and digest metal, completely otherworldly vision and hearing organs, and even skin that can resist ultraviolet rays and vacuum environments
And sweat glands…
These absolute elites, who were originally selected from thousands of mortals, will have millisecond-level reaction speeds and tons of muscle strength in their arms after undergoing these transformations that almost completely break and rebuild a person.
It can even run at a speed of sixty yards, its skin can resist pistol shooting and metal knife cutting, and its teeth can bite through steel bars and even cables...
If the Germans could pull a Space Marine into their gas chamber, the Space Marine's terrifying respiratory system would even think that the gas chamber in Japan is not as powerful as a sauna, and then directly use his adamantine teeth and corrosive saliva to inject
An exit was chewed out of the wall.
The premise is that they don't directly smash open the door of the gas chamber, which is no different from paper to them, without using their fists.
The transformed Space Marine recruits will spend another hundred years participating in various battles that would be considered hopeless for mortals. After accumulating enough experience and meritorious service, they can wear armor made of the hardest material in the universe that can protect them.
All abilities are magnified several times, powered armor that cannot be penetrated by tank main guns, and a bolt gun that can penetrate the frontal armor of all tanks in World War II with bullets, becoming an ordinary space warrior.
When such a super strong man with a height of more than 2.5 meters appears in front of you, facing their battle that can smash a World War II tank with his bare hands, the only concept that may come to your mind is that of power and invincibility.
In fact, as a literal demigod on earth, a Space Marine can annihilate a World War II-era infantry regiment like mowing grass. A small team of Space Marines can even defeat a German armored division head-on. A company of Space Marines with full firepower can even
Could end the entire World War II...
And now, nine teams of ninety Space Marines from nine different companies, all composed of veterans with an average service time of more than three hundred years, are infiltrating under the cover of night into the beach positions in Sicily, Italy, where the landing is about to begin.
.
This was not because Chen Mo wanted to use atomic bombs to kill chickens. He originally planned to send out an ordinary company and arranged this mission with an attitude of almost completely letting the new recruits practice their skills.
After all, apart from the core veterans of the nine chapters handed over to him, most of the other Space Marines were just recruits who had just completed transformation surgeries and training.
However, the nine battle groups that had been idle in space for too long expressed their hope to show their strength in this war, so the entire company originally ordered by Chen Mo was replaced by nine different battle groups. The squads of the regiment are all combat squads composed of elite veterans. Gu Niu
For the Italians stationed on this tidal flat, this was simply a dimensionality reduction strike, even though only a raider squad from the Raven Guard was involved in the battle.
Because even if this operation is limited to stealth operations and no bolters are allowed, they can still cut the throats of everyone in this position before dawn with just a combat knife.
Perhaps the only shortcoming of the Space Marines is that their power armor is too heavy to carry out armed swimming. In addition, due to the need for secrecy, they cannot carry out orbital airdrops, which they are best at. They can only rely on small boats to row to the shore at night, or simply Wear a helmet and walk ashore from the water.
Originally, they could take a plane and parachute from the air. After all, the Primaris Space Marines' power armor had anti-gravity parachutes, so parachuting directly was not a problem.
However, Egypt itself is really far away from Italy. Even the best transport aircraft of this era cannot successfully fly to Italy to complete the mission and return home after being equipped with these iron lumps of power armor per capita.
Therefore, they could only take a transport ship specially prepared by the Egyptian Navy to transport them to the target sea area, and use kayaks to carry out infiltration operations.
And this is what the Raven Guard are best at. The characteristic of their legion is that they are good at all kinds of infiltration and stealth operations, not to mention that for this mission they dispatched a team of Marauders who are best at infiltration and stealth.
The Marauder's power armor has lightweight ceramic armor plates and a more streamlined design, and special adjustments have been made to the servo motor, making the entire armor more flexible and stealthier than other types of power armor. sound.
Paired with an optical camouflage cloak capable of optical invisibility, even if a Raven Guard stood in front of the Italian defenders, they would not be able to see the Space Marines close at hand in the night.
In fact, when the first Crow Guard to land on land touched the Italian bunker and stabbed the sentry on guard in the waist with a combat knife, the vast majority of the defenders were still sleeping soundly and in their sleep. Had his throat cut by other Space Marines.
These veterans from the Raven Guard were not Primaris Space Marines before. They became Space Marines too long ago. They were upgraded to Primaris Space Marines through surgery after the return of the Primarch and the large-scale service of the Primaris Space Marines.
But this also made these veterans serve in the Chapter as scouts for a hundred years. During this period, in addition to honing their combat abilities, they also became experts in stealth operations.
Before the Primaris Space Marines entered service, the Space Marines of every chapter came here like this.
This also makes almost all Space Marines very good at stealth combat and infiltration, but among them the Raven Guard are particularly good at it.
So when they cleared the entire beach position and sent a signal to the landing fleet, less than two hours had passed since they landed.
