Chapter 117: Space Shark: Axe in hand, follow me! Steal people, food, and bombs! (VI)
[Week 3, because you won the fight.]
[The Ash Claw sent three thousand children in accordance with the transaction agreement between the two parties.]
[These children will become the new blood of the space sharks, the future Carcharodon Astartes. ]
[You also learned from Captain Shavan that the fleet support in the deal between the two sides seemed to have been rejected by Chapter Master Nehart.]
[Captain Shawn believes that the Ash Claws have forgotten the original purpose of their creation.]
[Neihart believes that once the Empire learns of the existence of the Ash Claws, it will travel through the Endless Void to annihilate them.]
[As an exile, the Ash Claws have long been unable to obtain the glory and honor of fighting for the Empire. ]
["Padrick, remember… glory and reputation only bring arrogance and weakness. The Man-eating Shark never needs such things. We have only one goal, and that is the enemy of mankind." Captain Chauvin said to you with a pair of dark eyes staring at you expressionlessly.]
[You nodded heavily and slowly put on the dog-shaped helmet that you had barely repaired.]
[In the fourth week, the Tyrant-class cruiser "White Mouth" traveled through the subspace and returned to the Space Shark's increasingly large void fleet. ]
[Countless ancient supply ships, agricultural ships, cargo ships, slave ships and even the forging ship "Steel" were surrounded and protected by a large number of relic-class warships in the center of the fleet.]
[This scale of gathering and formation undoubtedly foreshadows the advent of a horrific war. ]
[You have found other technical sergeants and completed the goal of repairing the Terminator power armor. ]
[You are back on the battle barge 'Water Monster'.]
[On your way to your private cabin, you saw countless solemn-looking mortal warriors and Astartes monks ready to go.]
[You lowered your head and thought for a moment, then turned and headed for the 'Crab-shaped Hall'. ]
[You have obtained a large amount of fresh water and enough food to sustain mortals for a long time. ]
[You return to your private cabin.]
[You met Sponge, who was trying to learn the power armor repair technology. ]
[You asked the other party about the situation.]
[You didn't get any useful information from Sponge.]
[You have taken care of the little boy. ]
[You ordered him not to leave his private cabin until the food and water ran out.]
[You went to the training ground and found all the team members. ]
[You lead your fully armed team members to the bridge which is almost full of ancient relics. ]
[You passed through a bridge explosion-proof door engraved with a shark emblem and entered the interior of the bridge. ]
[You immediately saw the captain of the third company, Sha Wen, who had been separated from you not long ago, and the captains of other companies you had never met before.]
[You even met the Chief Librarian and his apprentice Wukari whom you hadn't seen for a long time.]
[At this moment, everyone stood quietly on the dimly lit bridge deck, waiting for orders in silence.]
[You take off your dog-shaped helmet and tuck it under your elbow.]
[You seem to feel the heavy atmosphere and the bloody smell of the horrific war that permeates the turbid air.]
[At the same time, among the countless alien bones and precious relics, the huge Chapter Master Tiberus slowly stood up from the metal throne carved with the image of a shark.]
[Wearing a metal helmet, he announced to you an important news that could shake the space sharks. ]
[The Tyranids in the void are gathering in large numbers. ]
[According to the estimated data, a horde of nearly 500 million hordes of horrific insects are about to sweep across the Pious Galaxy, a temple world with abundant resources.]
[According to the many visions that the Librarian could see through his psychic vision, there might be an alien sect lurking in the core class of the local Imperial Church, and it was they who called the Kraken Hive Fleet out of the Void Abyss.]
[Chapter Master Tiberus will personally take part in the battle.]
[The entire fleet, led by the battle barge and the chapter flagship, the Water Monster, will desperately try to contain the attack of the Hive Fleet and try to prevent the Hive's tentacles from breaking through the borders of the Empire. ]
[And the three companies you are in have one and only one target. ]
[That is to go to the Pious Galaxy, dig out the alien sect there, and eradicate the beacon that attracts the hive. ]
[If you fail to complete the task of eradicating the alien sect. ]
[Or the Hive Fleet will continue to advance after your success...]
[Every ship, every battle-brother, and every mortal servant in the Carcharodon fleet will be devoured by the hive.]
[The three companies you are in will become the only company of space sharks that may survive, and the only successor to the "Exile Order". ]
[After listening to the deep and dead voice of Chapter Master Tiberus. ]
[It seems that the company commander Shawn can no longer suppress his emotions and suddenly kneels on one knee.]
[He asked to fight alongside his brothers and fight to the death for the fleet homeland. ]
[Chapter Master Tiberus said nothing.]
[He was so huge that he just stood there, slowly emitting an indescribable terrifying aura.]
[Captain Shawn, expressionless, punched the chest of his power armor hard and had to stand up.]
[You seem to sense a silent gaze like a beam of hot metal.]
[You blinked your dark eyes. ]
[You gaze upon the massive figure of Chapter Master Tiberus.]
[You slowly revealed your white teeth, which were as sharp as a shark.]
[Without any hesitation, you performed the ancient military salute of the Carcharodon Regiment towards the opponent.]
[You have broken the silence on the bridge without permission.]
["We come from the void ocean, where there is only darkness... For the Empire, for the Emperor, space sharks, we will die!" You suddenly raised one arm and let out a low roar. ]
[Including the company commander Sha Wen, the other company commanders of the Dalian Company all turned their eyes and focused their gazes on you.]
[Even the think tank chief's apprentice Wukari couldn't help but open his dark eyes wide and looked at you with a dull expression.]
[However, the silent Chapter Master Tiberus did not stop your reckless behavior.]
[Think Tank Director Ti Kahurangi forced a faint smile on his old, gray face. ]
[More spiritual foreshadowings seemed to flash in those dark and deep eyes.]
["May the Emperor bless you…" He seemed to utter a fleeting murmur.]
[As everyone stared in silence, you slowly lowered your raised arms.]
[You put on the dog-shaped helmet again, covering your pale face.]
[In the fifth week, the 'White Maw', a furious-class cruiser that had separated from the fleet, broke free from the constraints of the subspace.]
[The cruiser entered the Pious Galaxy and quickly headed for the Pious Planet No. 5. ]
[Countless defense monitoring stations belonging to the Imperial Navy and cargo ships passing by were like frightened schools of fish, avoiding the cruiser's path and avoiding the evil star ship of unknown origin.]
[You handed a relic-level incendiary gun to the white-haired technical sergeant and asked him to help install it on the top of the Terminator power armor.]
[The ancient Saturn-type Terminator allows the wearer to operate an additional weapon. ]
[This is just one of the precious equipment you forcibly obtained from Captain Shawn through harassment tactics. ]
[You begin to hang a few fragmentation grenades and three "holy"-level melta bombs on the waist of the power armor. ]
[You glanced at the other members of the reconnaissance team.]
[They are examining a far greater quantity of bolter ammunition than ever before, as well as chainsaw axes with new teeth.]
["The company commander asked me to tell you… this is just the first time, and it won't happen again." The white-haired technical sergeant blinked and grinned.]
["Next time? We'll talk about next time." You showed your shark-like white teeth and grinned. ]
[At this moment, a rare chapter priest walks towards you. ]
[He begins to brand your Terminator power armor with the Mark of Purity.]
[You spread your arms and let the other person do whatever he wants. ]
[Accompanied by the murmuring prayers of the Chapter Priest, thirteen marks of purity fell down, shaking slightly with the flowing air inside the cabin.]
[After finishing everything, the Chapter Priest bowed slightly and left your surroundings silently. ]
[You put on your canine helmet again.]
[You heard the order from the company commander, Shawn.]
[You are about to arrive at the planet Pious V. The Tyrant-class cruiser "White Mouth" stays in orbit above, maintaining the firepower threat of orbital bombardment. ]
[A large number of Astartes will take the Thunderhawk transport aircraft to the surface. ]
[Company Commander Sha Wen tried to contact the top leaders of the National Church to understand the situation.]
[Your mission is to enter the interior of the planet in advance and conduct preliminary reconnaissance at some locations where suspected alien sects gather.]
[If you encounter fierce resistance, you will need to hold out until the entire company arrives.]
[You took a deep breath and directed the reconnaissance team, who were ready to go, to step onto a squad-sized airdrop cabin.]
[You picked up a heavy storm bolter and entered the drop pod as the last person.]
[As the cabin wall gradually closed, the dark airdrop cabin began its delivery operation.]
[You feel the shaking and tremors coming from the airdrop cabin and slightly close your eyes.]
[One minute later, a terrifying scream that pierced the air penetrated the cabin wall and echoed in the dark interior.]
[Immediately afterwards, the airdrop capsule's recoil thrusters suddenly started.]
[Accompanied by the mechanical sound of the bulkhead slowly opening. ]
[You drove the Terminator power armor and jumped out of the airdrop cabin first. ]
[A pair of heavy and hard magnetic boots crushed the delicate stone floor. ]
[You hold the Storm Bolter at the ready and quickly scan the surrounding environment. ]
[You were unexpectedly airdropped into the square of a monastery's church. The panicked mortals and clergy shouted and screamed.]
[Members of the reconnaissance team quickly jumped out of the drop capsule.]
[They maintained a scattered but stable defensive formation, constantly scanning the surrounding mortals through the auspicious instrument. ]
[You gradually frowned.]
[You did not find any aliens within your sight, only a number of mortals trying to escape. ]
[At this moment, you suddenly looked towards the closed door of the monastery church nearby.]
[You remained silent and just waved your hand. Several members of the reconnaissance team quickly stepped forward and dispersed around the church door.]
[You drove the Terminator power armor forward and kicked away the metal door engraved with the Emperor's statue.]
[Just inside your canine helmet, motion sensors and threat detectors suddenly began to buzz.]
[At the same time, scorching laser beams continuously fell on the Terminator's thick ceramic steel armor, only burning off a layer of spray paint. ]
["Oh wow."]
[You can't help but grin, and the storm bolter in your hand emits a terrifying roar.]
["Fresh seafood delivered to your door!"]
Thank you for your support!
Six thousand words presented!
Little Easter eggs revealed.

Crab-shaped hall = pinch it a bit Krabby Patty.
Gary = English homonym of Xiao Snail
Eugene Xie = Mr. Krabs' real name
Seafood conference, gathering of the best.
As for the Terminator, I won't change it. Just treat it as a modified version of the Great Shark. At most, I will show that the protagonist is a little clumsy in action and has the strongest defense.
