Chapter 465: Was it considered a humiliation before? No, the humiliation has just begun
In orbit, on the warship aboard the Raging Flame Warriors, a brawl broke out between Space Marines, which ended with the Phoenix's victory.
Objectively speaking, Cordoba and the nearly a hundred warriors under his command are certainly not weak opponents.
There is also a team of Terminators among them. Not only are all of them veterans, they are at least official Space Marines. After all, Wrath Flame has been hanging around behind Tiejai, and his life is not bad. Real recruits who have just completed the gene seed implantation surgery, even if they have grown all the superhuman organs, will still need to go through a long period of training before they can be separated from the recruits and formally awarded armor.
This time usually takes five to ten years.
How long did it take for the Phoenix to revive? Cordoba judged that most of them were new recruits, which was normal.
After the phoenixes came to his ship through teleportation and the two sides started fighting with bare hands, he thought that his side could win. Although the number is only one-third of the opponent's, the capabilities of the veterans are not comparable to those of the new recruits.
As a result, he was beaten violently.
But Cordoba remained unconvinced.
He never felt that the Raging Flames were inferior to the Phoenix.
It's impossible!
After they were all knocked down, they were forcibly disarmed.
Nu Yan's temper is not very good.
The current battle is said to be a sparring match, but who doesn't know what its nature is?
How to do it?
But the overall situation prevented him from doing this.
If we really take some action, something big will happen.
Calduso defeated and beat up twenty-two enemies in a row in the arena.
It was humiliating. Instead of dying on the battlefield, the Space Marines were brought out naked.
Then, Javier Cordoba's 'wishes' were fulfilled.
In terms of treatment, they are not really treated like prisoners. Apart from the fact that personal freedom is restricted and it is impossible to regain weapons and equipment, and because these people have the physique of space warriors and need to be monitored more closely, there are no other problems.
He was hinting... No, it was a clear indication that the Raging Flames liked to take advantage of others' danger.
Of course, he won't retire in vain.
"I have played twenty-two games today, and I am a little tired. I was planning to withdraw, but if you want to fight, I can accompany you. After all, you, Fury Yan, only have this ability."
Everyone in the Raging Flames was very angry about this.
More than 110 years ago, you Phoenix were defeated - don't worry about the process, just the result - can you still ride on our heads now?
I am not satisfied!
If you have the ability, come and challenge!
I can't wait to beat you to a pig's head!
It is of course normal for him to have such a record.
Weapons were taken away, power armor stripped, and ships impounded.
If he could, he would kill every angry flame.
Even among the Raging Flame Warriors who faced him in the end, there were many veterans, even century-old veterans, but none of them were his opponents.
However, in the end, when Cordoba finally couldn't stand it any longer and wanted to die personally, he still chose to retreat rationally.
I was beaten violently by the Phoenix who had a numerical advantage on the boat, and I was already on fire. Now I have to let the Phoenix defeat 22 of them in the arena alone, which is even more frustrating.
Not only did he have a fighting career of two hundred years, one hundred years of it was spent fighting in hellish environments like the Atonement Crusade, so his strength should not be underestimated.
He raised his neck proudly and mocked Cordoba:
Then let's 'discuss'.
Most of the people in Phoenix are Alliance members. But among them, there are still four veterans who have experienced the complete Atonement Crusade.
The members of the Raging Flames Chapter with fire-spitting eyes wanted to go up and fight in a group.
This is what happened back then.
If you can win, doesn't it all depend on the number of people?
Martins is the chapter leader and Rizzo is the chaplain. Their identities are not suitable here; but there are two other veterans, so there is no such scruple.
But starting from the second day after they were put under house arrest, Phoenix space warriors began to visit their homes to 'reminisce about old times'.
The commander of the Phoenix 1st Company, Diego Carduso, is such a member.
However, looking at the dozens of phoenixes surrounding them who were wearing power armor and holding bolters and chain swords, no matter how angry they were in their hearts, they could only hold it in for now.
I won't bully you. Everyone doesn't need to wear armor, and they just carry unedged weapons for training in the empty dojo.
They were all 'sent' off the spacecraft and were controlled on the ground.
This also means that they must have also experienced the civil war in the Queen's Star Territory that made the Phoenix embark on the Atonement Crusade, the point of no return.
In name, their identities are being checked, but in reality, they are under house arrest.
But it doesn't count as surrendering without a fight. What can you do if you are surrounded and defeated? Moreover, both sides are human beings, and they must exercise restraint and not bring the situation to a point where it cannot end at all... In short, he is definitely not afraid of death!
I originally thought that it would be over after a round of humiliation, but unexpectedly, when Calduso put on his armor again, another Phoenix had already taken off his armor and walked off the ring with his fists clenched.
People come here with the intention of taking revenge and beating people up.
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.
"Peretes Anato, 14 years of combat experience."
Cordoba, who had originally planned to end the fight in person, stopped.
He, a 14-year-old warrior, was going to bully a -year-old newcomer?
It's a little too embarrassing.
Without him having to speak, someone walked out of the angry flames. This was a thirty-year-old soldier. Although he was older than the Anato who fought against the Phoenix, there was no way, there was no one younger.
As a result, during the battle, this angry warrior failed again.
Anato, a 14-year warrior, also penetrated three angry flames, and was defeated only after the fourth one.
Then, the next person appeared from Phoenix...
This battle was fought one by one.
In the end, the company of nearly a hundred members of the Raging Flames was defeated.
But the Phoenix paid a price of more than thirty people.
It's embarrassing. Especially after Carduso, there was an old warrior who also beat seven or eight people. He didn't win until Cordoba personally left the field.
But soon, Cordoba himself was defeated.
He lost to an old Phoenix warrior named Simone Blevins. When Blevins first came up, Cordoba felt something was wrong. From his eyes, he could tell that he was a true veteran of many battles.
He takes it very seriously. He is also a three-hundred-year-old veteran and a serious company commander. Among the entire Raging Flames, his strength is also at the forefront, and there are only a few who can defeat him.
However, it happened that we met our opponent today.
Moreover, he lost the fight.
Even more embarrassing.
Cordoba, with a bruised nose and face, gasped and asked Blevins, who had actually paid a certain price in front of him, and asked: "What is your position?"
Blevins put an ugly smile on his face: "Me? Just a soldier."
He really wasn't talking nonsense. He, a former traitor, was now nothing more than a soldier after he returned to the battle group bearing his sins.
Even before, he was not even an ordinary soldier, but a member of the Atonement Company. It was two years ago that Blevins and his members of the Atonement Company undertook many critical missions against the real traitors, the Chaos Space Marine warband the Ashes of the Dead. Including him, there were eight veterans who followed him, and four of them were lost in that battle.
The casualty ratio of 50% was much higher than the loss ratio of the entire battle at that time.
It is precisely because of this that Martins believed that they had atoned for their sins and reported it to the Governor. With the Governor's approval, the four surviving traitors were re-entered into the regular combat order of the Phoenix Chapter.
Although he is starting from scratch, he is a two-hundred-year veteran after all, and has also experienced the Atonement Expedition. His strength level and command ability are all still there. As long as there are no additional restrictions, it is normal for him to stand out.
Now he is about to be promoted to squad leader.
But as long as he has not been promoted and calls himself a 'little soldier', there is nothing wrong with him.
Cordoba didn't believe it, but what could he say?
If you lose, you lose.
Now, this company of the Raging Flames has been challenged from top to bottom, and everyone has been defeated in one-on-one duels.
It is really rare in this life to be humiliated to this extent.
Just wait, this shame will be returned with fury!
"Wait a minute!" Carduso said, "Why do you want to leave just now?"
Cordoba held back his anger: "What else do you want to do?"
"There are still some of us who haven't been there yet."
"Don't go too far!"
The sound of a bolter being loaded sounded.
Calduso sneered: "Then do you want to fight in the arena or outside the arena? Do you want us to fight wearing power armor, or do you want us to fight after taking it off?"
Calduso would not do it to kill these angry flames—unless they went crazy themselves and gave them the excuse and opportunity.
However, if you hit someone, as long as you don't kill them, it will be fine.
Anyway, Space Marines have thick skin and thick flesh, and it is not easy to kill people with ordinary fists and kicks.
At this point, Cordoba finally understood the meaning of these phoenixes.
Was that humiliation just now?
No, no.
It was a serious 'competition'. Everyone relied on their skills, one-on-one, the winner stayed standing, and the loser got off the stage. In actual practice, thirty people were able to pierce a hundred Furious Flames.
How can this be called humiliation? It's just a fair fight.
What comes next is truly humiliating.
We only fought thirty people, how could it be enough?
There are fifty phoenixes on duty here; behind, there are countless more phoenixes waiting in line.
As for you being unable to fight?
Even if you can't beat me, you have to go on stage and get beaten!
This is the 'wheel 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.
Nothing to worry about.
He knew that Phoenix had a grudge against Raging Flame. They are just seeking revenge.
Needless to say, those veterans who have experienced the conflict a hundred years ago and the Atonement Crusade have their own personal experiences and hatred engraved in their bones.
And those recruits, although they are all members of the Alliance, have just become Phoenixes in these years, and have not experienced that kind of hatred. However, as they grew up as members of the Phoenix, they naturally came into contact with the history of the Chapter, so they naturally kept this hatred in their hearts.
Although it is not as strong as the veteran, it has the recklessness of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. It may be more ruthless than the veteran, without knowing the severity.
Let them be.
Gu Hang just made a statement to Martins once, asking him to control his subordinates and not to cause any casualties.
Gu Hang himself had more important things to do.
Wash the battleship.
The battleship "Yu Huo Xing Xing" has been in the shipyard of Flying Wing Star for two years.
The effect is still very obvious.
Initially, as long as the personnel working on the ship stay on the ship for more than one hour, they will have symptoms of auditory hallucinations, body heat, and boredom; if they stay on the ship for more than six hours, there is a certain probability that they will lose control and go crazy and attack indiscriminately. Companions around you.
As a result, the alliance's ship maintenance workers, engineers, and clergy who built churches and poured holy water on ships must be forced to work no more than three hours at a time. Work groups with multiple shifts a day take turns to take breaks.
At the same time, there are priests and psychiatrists who must be on call in the star port at any time to calm their irritable emotions and ensure that they do not have any serious corruption problems.
With Gu Hang's direct 'cleaning' of warships many times, and the respective actions of the clergy of the State Church and the Mechanicus, the built churches of the State Church and the Mechanicus style began to be completed, with a statue of the emperor. After one was established in the battleship, the problem began to gradually alleviate.
In the process, the regulations on continuous working hours have also been 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 doesn't mean that I don't even have a break for fifteen days. However, the battleship is too big, with a total length of thirty kilometers, and its width and height are also measured in kilometers. Its scale is like a three-dimensional fortress city that has been moved into space, and its internal structure is intricate. Three hours after entering, I was afraid that I would have to come out again just after arriving at the work place.
Working on a ship for a long period of time is a must, especially when it comes to repair and decontamination work deep within the ship.
So far, the purification and repair work of the Yuhuo Xinxing has been basically completed. If Gu Hang wanted to, he could order the naval troops to board the ship right now and sail the ship out to join the battle.
However, the rising star is currently the alliance's most expensive single asset, and it also plays the most important role in Gu Hang's next war plan, so there can be no mistakes.
Gu Hang would rather postpone the time it goes into battle, wash it twice more, and do more maintenance and repairs to ensure that the entire battleship is in a complete state.
