They are obviously soldiers under the main legion. But why do they appear here?

This question has been wandering in Valam's mind. He even forgot that he was in danger and his steps became clumsy. If the personal guard had not seen the situation was not good, he pulled him over the rock and fell into a ditch more than half a meter deep, Valam would have been burned on the spot by a ball of flames that hit him.

The hot and dryness in the air is simply unbearable. The huge flames burned over the head, and Valam could smell a pungent smell of chemicals and felt the scorching heat tens of centimeters away. This death threat was so clear that his hair was even roasted alive and became crunchy and hard. In just a few seconds, Valam had already felt difficulty breathing and was indescribable to the body. The high-temperature flame gun was completely different from the traditional flamethrower. It can cause short-term air pollution to the release area and increase oxygen consumption. Even if the flame did not really hurt the human body, it would also cause suffocation and large-scale dehydration because the burning distance was too close.

Rolling sideways, Valam escapes from the bottom of the ditch, leaning against another rock, gasping heavily, his eyes full of sorrow and fear.

The personal guard saved himself from death, but was wrapped in huge flames on the spot. He screamed and burned to charcoal in front of Valam.

Valam felt a lot of sweat seeping out of his body, and even his eyelashes were soaked with sweat from his forehead. With strong fear, he used his trembling legs and feet to slam the corpse of the guards, which was emitting thick smoke. Just as he turned around, he happened to see a tall figure strode from the mine.

Second Lieutenant Nelson seems a bit alternative among all the members of the legion. He is the only person who does not wear a helmet, but his armor is particularly thick and the style is more special. Perhaps it is an unwritten habit, and the officers of the main legion do not like helmets. They trust the energy detection device provided by the power armor itself more. For them, the only ones that can generate threats are snipers who fire from a long distance. High-speed moving bullets are easily detected in the direction of movement. All they need to do is raise their arms and use armor to block them before the bullet hits their heads.

Even lasers are difficult to cause substantial damage to the Legion warriors. Moreover, every Legion warrior is equipped with repair potions. As long as they can survive on the battlefield, they can get the best healing. It is precisely because of the completeness and system, and even the Imperial Defense Forces, that the Legion warriors are extremely brave and invincible.

Second Lieutenant Nelson strode across the rock, not fast, but the calm pressure immediately made the already chaotic Clemen's commando feel threatened.

A tall and strong-muscular family soldier gritted his teeth, pulled out the battle axe from behind with his back hand, roared and rushed towards Lieutenant Nelson. He made a very accurate judgment. Lieutenant Nelson was indeed the highest commander of all the legion soldiers. As long as he was lost, the battle situation could be changed immediately.

Second Lieutenant Nelson did not make any defensive moves, and directly pulled out the chainsaw sword, facing the strong soldier with a cold smile. His rushing stone was swift and violent, and the power armor gave a huge push to his legs, especially when it landed, you could even feel the earth trembling.

The moment the battle axe and the chainsaw sword collided, a dazzling and dense spark was rubbed. The chainsaw pulled by the power easily cut the axe blade, as if it was passing through a hot knife of butter, and fell directly on the soldier's shoulder. His extremely strong body was cut open in an instant. Amid the harsh engine noise, the soldier opened his mouth wide and let out a shrill scream. Nelson proudly watched his opponent's body begin to tilt, and grabbed the soldier's hair. The chainsaw sword changed the direction of movement, forced it to the soldier's throat, and cut off the entire head alive.

This is the way the main legion fights. It is direct, decisive, without any drag, extremely cruel, and directly puts the opponent to death.

Nelson casually inserted the soldier's head into the sharp bulge on his left shoulder. With the pleasure of abuse and cruelty, he pulled out the standard short-tube rifle on his slanted leg, aimed at a family soldier who was about to turn around and escape more than ten meters away, and pulled the trigger with a grim smile.

According to regulations, the surface of the power armor must be smooth and complete in order to produce the bulletproof effect it should have. However, most legion soldiers ignore this regulation. They often add sharp bulges more than ten centimeters long to the surface of the armor, and look like steel needles erected from the surface of the power armor. Its function is just to facilitate the insertion of human heads, or a certain part of the opponent's body, limbs, internal organs, bones, etc. It is said that doing so can bring courage to the legion soldiers and never create a stronger psychological fear effect on the enemy. Without any scientific basis to support this statement, the Imperial Church and the senior leaders of the main legion did not agree with this, and there has never been any such thing as punishment for the soldiers' private modification of the power armor. This gradually became a custom for the main legion to be kept in peace, and even the commander of the legion himself likes to make similar actions in battle.

The chainsaw sword is indeed very powerful. Valam has been lying behind the rocks and witnessed the legion soldiers' use of this terrible weapon and their skillful use.

Pushed by a short-range jet engine, they rushed into the crowd, wielding chain saws to slash and slash. Even at a very close distance, ordinary bullets still could not pose a threat to them. This close-knit death threat made many family soldiers frightened. They no longer believed in the assault rifle in their hands, but threw it away, turned around and ran away as fast as possible, but were caught up by the legion soldiers wearing red armor in a few steps and chopped it into two pieces with one sword from behind.

When Valam saw a grenade hit the legion soldiers more than ten meters away, he was not hurt at all. Instead, he turned his body as if nothing had happened and crashed hard with a force no less than a high-speed train. The family soldier who fired the grenades sunk his chest on the spot, and his mouth was sprayed with a large ball of blood. Before he could completely fall to the ground, the legion soldiers who had rushed to the front grabbed his shoulders and lifted them up, just like a giant catching a mouse, approaching the dying family soldier who was dying, as if lighting a cigarette, turned his whole person into a fire ball.

In the distance, countless shells shot from the mines. They crossed over people's heads and smashed a piece of flame and smoke on the ground a hundred meters away. The retreat of the Clement family commando was completely blocked, and the violent explosion forced the retreating people to turn again and move towards both sides of the barrage. In doing so, more than ten legion soldiers were given more time and opportunities. They killed the targets in an orderly manner, and the short-barrel rifles cooperated closely with the chainsaw sword. Every time they advanced for a distance, corpses were left everywhere.

Valam's face was pale, and sweat kept rolling down his forehead and cheeks. He grabbed his assault rifle tightly, but could not place it in the right shooting position. He could only tremble desperately in fear and panic as the ground vibrates and explodes.

In order to achieve the perfect effect of the sprint, Valam carefully selected every entourage. As the next patriarch of the Clement family, Valam certainly understood the importance of a strong armed family. He was a soldier himself. Although he had to retire from the Imperial Wehrm under family pressure, Valam was very familiar with the entire training mode of the Wehrm. He knew how to train a civilian into a warrior in a short time, and also knew what tactics should be used in different situations. These things were not just obtained from the military code. During his time as a defense officer, Valam had participated in more than ten battles with dark creatures. He was familiar with both practical experience and theory.

The situation in front of us is completely different from what we expected. Of course, Valam knew that the combat effectiveness and equipment of the main legion were far beyond that of ordinary National Wehrmachts. For this situation, Valam had envied him. After all, having a good gun and a combat suit with excellent defense capabilities means that the chances of soldiers' survival on the battlefield have been greatly increased, and the more enemies they will kill.

An ordinary national defense force cannot have power armor. This is an edict issued by the emperor himself. The empire did make extreme harshness and cruelty in the implementation of this edict.

According to the Imperial Charter, each main legion consists of many battle groups. This is equivalent to the size of the human legion brigade in the Earth era. Different combat companies are set up under the team, and then the same tactical team is formed by the soldiers under the Second Lieutenant Nelson. The War Chapter Charter stipulates that any battle group under the main legion must regularly draw blood from its members' bodies, and if necessary, professional medical officers must even cut some muscle tissue. In short, each battle group must pay 5% of the genetic material of all members and hand it over to the Vatican for supervision. This special system is called "religious tax" within the Vatican. It has two functions: first, it enables the Vatican to supervise the health status of various war team personnel. Second, it allows the Vatican and the Imperial High-level leaders to reserve a large amount of genetic seeds, and can create new war teams when necessary, or expand the existing war team size.

The new battle group was not built overnight. Each fertilized egg must be selected accordingly. Then, the fertilized egg grows under the care of professional clergy of the Holy See and is implanted into the human slave experiment. These slaves must tempt the biological parameters must be absolutely normal and there is no sign of mutation. All slave experiments are from the empire and are prisoners sentenced to unpardonable felony crimes. Of course, some slaves are not criminals, but volunteers who actively apply to become experimental subjects. They all live in difficult life, have no source of income, and are unable to work to support their poor people due to disability and other factors. According to imperial laws, the families of imperial citizens who volunteer to become slave experiments, and their families who pass the test can receive a large amount of reward. Under this premise, there will naturally be no shortage of volunteers who are desperate and want to exchange their families for future happiness.

Each slave experiment subject has undergone a "purification" ritual led by clergy. Only the internal personnel of the Holy See will know what the content and process are. The purified slave experiment subject is enclosed in an independent static experimental compartment. Although the basic consciousness is retained, they are completely unable to move and just rushed to the biological medium for development of the fertilized egg. The first slave will obtain two gene storage glands to ensure the cultivation of the two fertilized eggs. When the gene gland matures, one can be harvested first, and then one of them can be used as the mother source and implanted into the second slave at the same time with a new fertilized egg. In this way, the abilities of the original gene gland can be retained to the maximum extent, and the fusion range between the new fertilized egg and the gene can be increased to a certain extent, so that it will not cause repulsion reactions with the implanter.

Fertilized eggs do not develop directly into humans as they imagined. Each mature fertilized egg harvested from slave experiments will be placed in a biological culture tank to generate a complete set of additional organs, including the heart, lungs, liver, stomach sac, as well as the central nervous system and internal circulation system, etc.

According to this basic process, every thousand healthy organs are manufactured, it will take fifty-five years. The use of each set of organs must be officially approved by personnel at the archbishop level or above in the Holy See, and then a joint meeting composed of the Supreme Council of the Empire, that is, the leader of the major main legions, will ask the emperor for instructions. In the end, only the emperor himself can authorize the creation of a new battle group, or expand the current battle group size.

Each set of cultivated organs corresponds to a recruit who was recruited to the army. Various implanted organs have had a profound impact on the physical and mental state of the army soldiers. Most of these edges are controlled by natural hormone secretion and developmental patterns. If the receptor, that is, the recruits have reached a certain stage of natural growth, such as over thirty-five years old, some of the implanted organs may not work, and even worse, all implanted organs cannot produce effects. Therefore, the recruits must be young enough, and physical tissue compatibility is also necessary. Otherwise, the implanted organs cannot develop normally, and there is no question of fusion with the receptor.

There are also some very subtle but important issues, such as the mental matching between the implanted organ and the receptor, whether the visual control organ is strengthened, the integrity of the nerve nodes, and whether the meninges can continue to develop under hypnotic stimulation, reaching an available state, etc. In short, no matter any recruit, they must be sensitive to these special treatments in order to be able to talk about the Legion training and the subsequent follow-up work.

All the things to be considered mean that only a small proportion of people can become Legion warriors. They must be male, and the fertilized eggs correspond to male hormones and body tissue types, and then screen them according to the required physiological and psychological compatibility. If the test is successful, the candidate becomes a new entrant, and after the organ implantation is completed and chemotherapy and psychological training, they, that is, the new recruits, will become beginners. Only the entry-level can receive the training before becoming a formal Legion warrior. Generally speaking, a Legion warrior usually officially joins the regiment between the ages of sixteen and twenty. However, due to the special methods of creating Legion warriors, the body of the new recruits has been fully developed before that, and the mental pressure during warfare will also accelerate this process.

Not everyone can wear power armor. The servants of the main legion such as Su Hao have only undergone the most basic or, probably the lowest level of adaptive surgery. In the eyes of real legion warriors, the equipment of the servants should not even be called power armor at all. That is the bionic armor that is derived from the power armor and has greatly reduced its overall performance. This biological armor does not require complex gene gland presets. Although it can produce a certain degree of ability increase for the wearer, it is not as close to the legion warriors. It is truly the closest connection between the human body and the armor, and there is no difference between metal and muscles. They are like the muscles and skin attached to the wearer, and there is no cumbersome feeling, but give people the feeling of being a part of their own body.

Of course, those who have become legion soldiers must also assume the responsibility of cultivating the next generation. Every legion warrior who is recognized must implant two gene glands in his body. This is the greatest physiological limit that each legion warrior can withstand. Gland growth will last for a long time. If a legion warrior dies in battle, the pharmacist with the team must take the gene glands out of the death warrior's body as fast as possible and put them in a small culture chamber carried with him to maintain their vitality. In battle, all gene glands collected from the battlefield must be handed over to the Legion headquarters for more legion recruits.

This is another self-expansion process within the main legion. It was allowed by the emperor from the beginning and did not require approval from the Holy See. But even so, the number of soldiers of each main legion could only remain floating within the established range. They undertake the most difficult, heaviest and cruel combat tasks of the empire. The mortality rate and danger are far beyond ordinary people's imagination. Therefore, each main legion has shocking combat power. This does not concern the original constitution of the gene gland receptor, but the product of the perfect combination of technology and system.

Compared with the powerful "general"-level evolved people, legion warriors may not have an advantage in speed, but their strength and defense are definitely better than ordinary strong men without armor protection and corresponding gun weapons. In fact, the shortcomings in speed are not as obvious as imagined. Strict daily training, tacit cooperation, close-knit tactics, and personnel ratios between each combat team have completely made up for the vacancies in speed.
