Chapter 465: Was it humiliating before? No, the humiliation has just begun
In orbit, a fight between Space Marines broke out on the warship where the Fury Warriors were riding, and ended with the Phoenix's great victory.
Objectively speaking, Cordoba and the nearly 100 soldiers under his command are certainly not weak hands.
There was also a team of Terminators among them. They were all veterans, but at least they were official Space Marines. After all, Fury had been following Iron Armor all along, and his life was not bad. The real recruits who had just completed the gene seed implantation surgery, even if they had grown all the superhuman organs, still needed a long period of training before they could leave the ranks of recruits and be officially awarded armor.
This period of time usually takes five to ten years.
How long had the Phoenix been revived? Cordoba judged that most of them were new recruits, which was normal.
After the Phoenixes teleported to his ship and the two sides began to fight hand-to-hand, he thought that his side would win. Although the number was only one-third of the opponent's, the ability of the veterans was far beyond the reach of the new recruits.
As a result, he was beaten violently.
But Cordoba still refused to accept.
He never thought that the Fury Legion was inferior to the Phoenix.
It's impossible!
More than one hundred and ten years ago, you Phoenixes were defeated by us - never mind the process, just talk about the result - can you still bully us now?
Your victory is entirely due to your numbers, isn't it?
I don't accept it!
If you have the guts, come and fight me!
I’ll beat you into pig heads!
Then, Javier Cordoba's 'wish' was fulfilled.
After they were knocked down by everyone, they were forcibly disarmed.
The weapons were taken away, the power armor was stripped away, and the ships were detained.
This is very humiliating. The Space Marine did not die on the battlefield, but was instead carried out naked.
But it was not like surrendering without a fight, what could he do if he was beaten? Moreover, both sides were human, so he had to restrain himself and not let the situation get to the point where it could not be resolved... In short, he was definitely not afraid of death!
They were all "sent" off the spacecraft and controlled on the ground.
In name, it was to investigate their identities, but in reality, it was house arrest.
In terms of treatment, they were not really treated like prisoners. Apart from the restrictions on their personal freedom and the impossibility of regaining their weapons and equipment, and the fact that they had the physique of space marines and needed to be more closely guarded, there were no other major problems.
But starting from the second day after they were placed under house arrest, Phoenix Space Marines began to visit them to "catch up on the past".
Most of the people in the Phoenix were from the Alliance, but among them, there were four veterans who had experienced the entire Atonement Crusade.
This also means that they must have also experienced the civil war in the Princess Star Domain that caused the Phoenix to embark on the Atonement Expedition of no return.
Martins is the chapter commander and Rizzo is the chief priest. Their identities are not quite appropriate here; but there are two other veterans who don't have this concern.
Diego Carduso, the captain of the Phoenix First Company, is such a person.
If he could, he would kill every single one of them.
But the overall situation prevented him from doing so.
What should I do?
Then let's have a 'competition'.
We won't bully you. No one needs to wear armor. Just hold unsharpened weapons for training and fight in an open dojo.
In the arena, Cardoso defeated and beat up twenty-two enemies in a row.
It is of course normal for him to have such a record.
Not only does he have a two hundred year combat career, but he also spent a hundred of those years fighting his way out of the hellish environment of the Atonement Crusade. Naturally, his strength should not be underestimated.
Even though there were many veterans, some even century-old veterans, among the Fury Warriors who came to fight him, none of them were his match.
If he hadn't been a little exhausted after fighting 22 people in a row, he really wanted to defeat this company of the Fury Regiment by himself.
However, when Cordoba finally couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to take the field himself, he rationally chose to retreat.
Of course, he won't retreat in vain.
He raised his neck proudly and taunted Cordoba:
"I have already fought 22 games today. I am a little tired. I was going to withdraw, but if you want to fight, I can accompany you. After all, this is all you can do."
He was hinting... no, it was a clear indication that the Fury Legion liked to take advantage of others when they were in trouble.
This is about what happened back then.
Everyone in the Fury Corps was very angry about this.
He had been beaten up by the Phoenix, which had the advantage in numbers, on the boat before, and he was already angry. Now, the Phoenix defeated 22 of them alone in the arena, which made him even more frustrated.
The people from the Fury Corps, their eyes spitting fire, were so eager to rush in and start a group fight.
The current battle is said to be a competition, who doesn't know what its nature is?
They come here to seek revenge and beat people up.
Nuyan has a bad temper.
However, looking at the dozens of phoenixes wearing power armor, with bolters and chainswords in their hands, no matter how angry he was, he could only hold it back.
If something really happens, something big will happen.
Originally, I thought that the humiliation would be over, but unexpectedly, when Carduso put on his armor again, the other phoenix had already taken off his armor and walked off the ring with his fists clenched.
"Peretes Anato, 14 years of combat experience."
Cordoba, who was originally planning to take action himself, stopped.
He is a 300-year-old veteran warrior, going to bully a 14-year-old newcomer?
It's a bit too embarrassing.
He didn't need to say anything, as someone walked out from the anger. He was a soldier with thirty years of experience. Although he was older than Anatol who had fought with the Phoenix, there was nothing he could do as there was no one younger.
As a result, in the battle, this angry warrior was defeated once again.
Anato, a warrior with 14 years of experience, also defeated three Furies, and was defeated by the fourth one.
Then, the Phoenix sent out the next person...
The battle was fought one by one.
In the end, a company of nearly a hundred people from the Fury Regiment was pierced.
The Phoenix only paid the price of more than thirty people.
This was very embarrassing, especially since there was another veteran warrior after Carduso who also fought seven or eight men, and only won when Cordoba himself stepped in.
But soon, Cordoba himself was defeated.
He lost to an old Phoenix fighter named Simone Blevins.
When Blevins first came up, Cordoba felt something was wrong. He could tell from his eyes that this was a real veteran.
He took it very seriously. He was a veteran of 300 years and a legitimate company commander. In the entire Fury Regiment, his strength was also among the best. There were only a few who could defeat him.
But, today I happened to meet my opponent.
Moreover, he lost the fight.
It's even more embarrassing.
Cordoba, with a bruised face, panted and asked Blevins, who had also paid a certain price, "What is your position?"
Blevins forced an ugly smile on his face: "Me? Just a soldier."
He was indeed not talking nonsense. He was once a traitor, but now he was just a small soldier after returning to the battle group with sins.
Even before, he was not even an ordinary soldier, but a member of the Redemption Company. Two years ago, when fighting against the real traitors, the Chaos Space Marines, the Ash Dead, Blevins and his members of the Redemption Company took on many assault missions. There were eight veterans with him, including him, and four of them were lost in that battle.
The casualty rate of 50% was much higher than the loss rate of the entire battle at that time.
It was also because of this that Martins believed that they had atonement and reported it to the Governor. With the Governor's approval, the four surviving defectors were reintegrated into the regular combat sequence of the Phoenix Regiment.
Even though he was starting from scratch, he was a 200-year-old veteran after all, and had experienced the Atonement Crusade. His strength level and command ability were still there. As long as there were no additional restrictions, it would be normal for him to stand out.
Now he is about to be promoted to team leader.
But as long as he hasn't been promoted, there's nothing wrong with him calling himself a 'small soldier'.
Cordoba didn't believe it, but what could he say?
If you lose, you lose.
Now, this company of the Fury Regiment, from top to bottom, has been challenged all the time, and everyone has been defeated in a one-on-one duel.
Being humiliated to this extent is truly a rare experience in this lifetime.
Just wait, this humiliation will be retaliated with anger!
"Wait!" Cardoso said, "Why do you want to leave now?"
Cordoba suppressed his anger and asked, "What else do you want to do?"
"We still have some people who haven't been there yet."
“Don’t go too far!”
The sound of a bolt gun being loaded was heard.
Carduso sneered, "Do you want to fight in the arena or outside the arena? Do you want us to fight in power armor or take it off?"
Carduso would not kill these angry flames - unless they went mad themselves, giving him an excuse and an opportunity.
However, if you hit someone, as long as they don't die, there's nothing wrong with it.
Anyway, Space Marines have thick skin and tough flesh, and it is not easy to kill them with ordinary punches and kicks.
At this point, Cordoba finally understood what these phoenixes meant.
Was that humiliating?
No no no.
That was a serious "competition". Everyone competed based on their abilities, one on one. The winner stayed standing, the loser rolled off the stage. It took only thirty people to defeat a hundred Nuyans.
How can this be called humiliation? It was just a fair fight.
What follows is truly humiliating.
We only have thirty people, how can that be enough?
There are fifty phoenixes on duty here; behind them, there are countless more phoenixes waiting in line to come.
As for you guys not being able to fight anymore?
Even if you can’t beat me, you have to go up on the stage and get beaten!
This is the 'round battle', this is the real humiliation session!
…
Of course Gu Hang knew about the farce caused by the Phoenix, but he didn't want to care about it.
What's there to worry about?
He knew that the Phoenix had a grudge against Fury, and they were out for revenge.
Needless to say, for the veterans who had experienced the conflict a hundred years ago and the Atonement Crusade, hatred was their personal experience and was engraved in their bones.
Although the new recruits were all members of the Alliance and had just become Phoenixes in recent years, they had not experienced the hatred. However, as they grew up as Phoenixes, they naturally came into contact with the history of the Chapter, and naturally remembered the hatred in their hearts.
Although not as strong as that of the veteran soldier, he is as reckless as a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger. He might be even more ruthless and ignorant of the severity of the situation than the veteran soldier.
Let them be.
Gu Hang just made a statement to Martins, asking him to control his men and not let anyone die.
Gu Hang himself has more important things to do.
Wash the battleship.
The battleship Nova had been in the dock of Feiyi Star for two years.
The results are still very obvious.
At the beginning, personnel working on the ship would experience auditory hallucinations, hot flashes, and irritability if they stayed on the ship for more than an hour; if they stayed on the ship for more than six hours, there was a certain probability that they would lose control and go crazy, indiscriminately attacking their companions.
Therefore, the Alliance's ship maintenance workers, engineers, and clergy who built churches and sprinkled holy water on ships must be forced to work no more than three hours at a time. There are multiple shifts of work teams a day, rotating for rest.
At the same time, there are pastors and psychiatrists who are on call in the starport at all times to calm their violent emotions and ensure that they do not develop any serious corruption problems.
And with Gu Hang's repeated direct "cleansing" of warships, and the respective actions of the clergy of the State Religion and the Mechanicus, churches in the style of the State Religion and the Mechanicus began to be completed. After the statues of the Emperor were erected one by one in the warships, the problem began to gradually ease.
During the process, the regulations on continuous working hours were extended from three hours to six hours, and then to nine hours... In the past six months, workers have been able to work on ships for fifteen consecutive days.
Of course, it wasn't like they didn't even have a break for fifteen days. It was just that the battleship was too big, with a total length of thirty kilometers, and its width and height were also measured in kilometers. Its scale was like a three-dimensional fortress city that had been moved into space, and its internal structure was intricate and complex. After three hours in, I was afraid that I would have to come out again just after arriving at the work place.
Long-term work on board a ship is necessary, especially when it comes to repair and decontamination work deep inside the ship.
At present, the purification and repair work of the Fire Star has been basically completed. If Gu Hang wanted, he could now order the navy to board the ship and drive it out to participate in the battle.
However, the Rising Star is currently the most expensive single asset in the alliance, and also plays the most important role in Gu Hang’s next war plan, so there can be no mistakes.
Gu Hang would rather delay the time of its deployment, wash it twice more, and inspect and maintain it more, to ensure that the entire battleship is in complete condition.
