Chapter 13 The Expedition Begins
The scarlet power armor moved across the ruins, and acid rain mixed with harmful substances dripped onto the smooth metal surface.

A tactical team roamed the city's alleys, slowly sweeping over every suspicious place with the muzzle of a heavy assault rifle. It was the third month after the war began.

For Hakka, the once prosperous streets have become dilapidated, his relatives and friends have long been burned to ashes, and the only thing left for him is hatred for the invaders.

Before they came, he had a perfect family. His wife with a strong and long tail added three members to the family, but the demon that fell from the sky broke this peace.

That day, a huge fleet arrived at the Light colony planet and stayed for only a moment before a huge beam of light shattered the defense network in the colony orbit.

At the beginning of the war, some colonies had their air superiority completely deprived, and the Wrights who broke free from their shackles and flew towards the stars were brutally shot down to the earth.

Then the black-armored warriors rushed into the sky, the defense systems of the planets began to collapse, brutal massacres took place everywhere, and only one in ten people survived. The only choice was to flee back to the mother planet to continue the hope of the race.

"Sir, we have arrived at our mission location."

The scarlet warriors stopped one by one, Hakkar made a gesture, and the soldiers began to disperse and walked into the building in front.

According to the monitoring report, an alien airdrop chamber crashed into the building. Pushing open the broken glass doorway, Hakka's monitor did not scan any targets except the location of his teammates.

"Left side is safe, no target"

"The right side is safe. I found the target in Restaurant No. 2"

The image was transmitted to Hakka's monitor. A black-painted airdrop capsule was embedded in the wall of the restaurant. The high temperature from the fall ignited the surrounding debris and emitted bursts of black smoke.

The gathered soldiers contracted their defense line and searched the nearby shadows but found no trace of the black-armored giant. "Where is it? Expand the search..." Hakka was about to give an order when he was startled by the sudden reminder and quickly turned his gun.

A huge gun muzzle protruded from the gap under the ruins
"Bang!" The diamond bomb was fired and flew towards the alien in front of him. The armor that was hit could not resist the arrival of death. The bomb that penetrated into the body exploded and Haka's head was blown off. At the last moment, he knew that he could finally be reunited with his family.

After killing the first target, the Black Watch buried in the ruins jumped up from the ground, and the fierce fire of the grenade launcher suppressed the firepower of the alien team in front of them.

An alien wanted to fight in close combat. He believed that his physical strength could tear through the opponent's defense, but the roar of the chainsaw sword directly tore the long sword in his hand and his blasphemous armor into pieces.

Green liquid splashed, and with the help of his comrades' cover, an alien soldier raised his ion rifle. This was the only weapon that could penetrate the black-armored warrior after testing.

The scorching plasma shot out and pierced the power armor, but a burst of explosives put an end to the opponent.

The soldiers who reacted opened fire violently and pulled the trigger hard, but this could not prevent themselves from being killed, even if the opponent was a wounded Black Watch. Such scenes were played out all over the planet.

Three minutes later, a Black Watch sergeant came out from underground and stood in front of the Black Watch who was leaning against the crevice of the ruins. His broken helmet was lifted up, revealing Ginny's face.

"New recruit, you failed to assess the target that posed a threat to you, which caused you to get injured and you failed the trial. You still need 17 alien heads to complete this trial. You have disappointed your father!"

The armor on the chest was removed, and the technical sergeant who was checking the injuries meticulously evaluated the performance of the recruits.

Two power arms loaded on the back of the power backpack popped out plasma cutters, cutting the melted ceramic steel. Thanks to the excellent regenerative ability and blood-locking organs, the wound has begun to heal: "Your second heart is damaged and needs to be returned to the mothership for repair." "Received! Sir." Ginny stood up again and walked to the open space with the sergeant, where a transport plane was waiting, and the cabin was full of wounded Black Watch recruits.

A new recruit whose lower body had been melted off greeted Ginny upon seeing her coming, "Ginny, how many spots do you still need?"

Perhaps they were from the same batch of recruits. Ginny knew his name as 'Chatty John', a talkative recruit. "I still need 17 heads,"

"17? Ginny, you're awesome. Father ordered 400 alien soldier heads for each of us, and you've almost finished it on the second day. It's a pity that if you hadn't been injured, you would have been the champion of this hunt again. But who knows, maybe Jill would have won this time."

"Then let her do it this time." Ginny didn't want to continue talking to John who was talking about whatever he wanted.

The Jill Valentina that John mentioned was a recruit selected in the same batch as Ginny. As a Catachan jungle female warrior, the two were the best in the batch.

Thanks to their father's experimental observations on female Space Marines, the two were made the primary observation targets and could often appear in front of Hogg. In order to compete for their father's favor, the two were unwilling to accept each other, and Hogg was happy to watch their competition and even unscrupulously set up a gambling table in the legion.

Els was the first world that resisted stubbornly that Hogg encountered during his six-month expedition. According to records, this planet, which was covered with rain all year round, had lost the ability to communicate with the outside world due to the ravages of the subspace storm.

The alien race that was originally used as slaves began to rebel, and the humans on the planet were exterminated. The lizard-like creatures that ruled the Els absorbed the remaining human technology and have developed a force that spans the galaxy today.

As soon as this force was discovered, the battleship's light spears gave the space station a photon rejuvenation at the maximum distance, and then a large number of detectors were thrown to the earth.

Only after bombing all important facilities on the surface did teams of auxiliary troops and Black Watch begin to clear the ground. They were followed by the Light expeditionary fleet, and the two sides began a fierce exchange of fire in the universe.

Steel and corpses filled the surrounding starry sky.

Wars in the interstellar era are not as simple as two groups of people shooting at each other with guns. Direct ultra-long-range strikes, the dazzling array of light spears can melt all foreign enemies.

Unless you encounter an enemy with a shield that is too thick and need to board and attack, wars in the starry sky will always be battleships fighting each other.

The aliens' technological strength is not bad, and they can even fight back and forth with the fleet, but Blackwatch directly pulled in more human troops from nearby, using numbers to pressure them to slowly shrink their defenses.

After more than three months, at the cost of nearly a thousand Space Marines' lives and damage to the Blacklight's deck, the alien forces were compressed to their home planet, Ays.

Since the new recruits lack the baptism of war, the dead veterans need to fill the vacancies. After arranging 400 indicators for each recruit, the veterans will lead them in a recruit drill.

This is a series of training methods developed by Hogg based on his experience as a soldier in his previous life and combined with the previous standards of the 11th Legion.

The planet of Els is very suitable for human survival, and there is definitely some legacy technology on it, so glass burning cannot be carried out in orbit.

In addition, the extermination order can only be used against targets that are worthless or whose benefits cannot meet the required efforts. As long as such a good planet is cleaned up, a large number of wandering merchants will come immediately.

The aliens on other planets were destroyed, and a small number of them were made into specimens to expand the original body's genetic inventory. After research, Hogg found that the physical strength of this creature was extremely strong, comparable to that of Ogryn. In addition, their weapons were not much worse than those of the Empire. Many Black Watch and auxiliary forces were killed by their concentrated fire.
