Starting from the Planetary Governor-Chapter 1627 - 922: Primarchs Are Human Too

The human forces began a large-scale airborne operation.

Martins took the lead.

Tall, his heavy feet thunderously hit the ground, as if causing a minor earthquake.

And following him, his ’Great Nirvana Guard’, part of his Glory Guard, descended one after another.

These elites of the Phoenix swiftly moved forward to protect their Battle Group Leader.

They appeared extremely fervent.

In the past, of course, the Great Nirvana Guard diligently protected their Battle Group Leader; it was their duty.

However, the situation was different now.

Previously, it was a reverence for the most honorable battle brother, a protection for a brother, a defense for a leader.

But ever since Martins was recruited by Mr. Gu and returned, things changed.

Martins exuded a kind of kinship that they felt deep in their veins. This feeling was perceivable even across several Star Domains.

In fact, before Martins returned, at a certain moment, all the Phoenix and Yellow Springs Seagull warriors felt this sensation.

They were somewhat panicked at one point.

Though this feeling wasn’t unpleasant, it was too unique, something they had never felt before, leading them to suspect something significant had happened.

Indeed, something significant had occurred—their Battle Group Leader had elevated to ’father’.

However, this wasn’t something easy to convey, and exact intelligence couldn’t be explained to every member of the battle group. Gu Hang merely issued a directive to explain this to the two battle groups, reassuring them.

Afterwards, when Martins returned, at least the warriors of the Phoenix Battle Group understood the source of their unusual feeling.

When Martins heard of his battle brothers’ claims of sensing the kinship in him, he didn’t explain much, saying only he participated in an experimental modification akin to Original Casting with Mr. Gu to enhance the power of Genetic Seeds.

He knew this wasn’t the case but acknowledged the explanation.

And his battle group comrades did not oppose it much.

Natural genetic closeness and obedience, though can be overcome, but why overcome it?

Martins was already their Battle Group Leader, a legendary warrior of the Alliance, an important member of the founder team of the Alliance. In the battle group’s history, he led the surviving seven Phoenix members to pull the group from the brink of destruction to now seemingly have the status of ’the Alliance’s top battle group’...

Of the original seven Phoenix members, only three remain today. Apart from Battle Group Leader Martins, Chief Priest Rizzo, and Company Commander Calduso, the present Phoenix Warriors all joined the battle group after the Alliance’s formation. Among them are many veterans with over a hundred years of combat experience, trained as the initial batch of Interstellar Warriors by the Alliance. Undoubtedly, they are all Martins’ juniors, raised under his leadership.

Obeying Martins as the Battle Group Leader is their natural duty.

Now with an added layer of inexplicable genetic kinship, basically no one resists.

Unless, one day Martins were to rebel.

Then perhaps the Phoenix warriors might struggle between the Alliance and their Battle Group Leader.

But for now, no one has considered this issue. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

How could Martins possibly rebel?

...

Martins indeed would not rebel.

This battle was his first since his rebirth.

As he led the Great Nirvana Guard, they encountered a significant impact immediately upon landing.

The Alliance forces’ airborne operation was undoubtedly discovered. Chaos Army reacted very swiftly, mobilizing heavy forces to besiege the human forces’ landing site.

Clearly, they planned to cause as much damage as possible when they just landed, before they could gain a stable foothold, even aiming to wipe them out right here in one fell swoop.

The forces of Chaos knew their raid on the chapel’s undercroft had failed.

From their perspective, this defeat was negligible, just an attempt, failing to steal was indifferent. On the frontline, their troops remain far superior to the human side, capturing that chapel was only a matter of time. The raid merely delayed this timeframe slightly, not crucial.

In comparison, eliminating the human forces’ airborne reinforcements was a more serious matter.

While the circling human warplanes engaged in aerial combat with Chaos’s aircraft and Abyss Fire Dragons, they also tried to spare some effort to intercept the ground forces besieging them. But simple airstrikes, at most inflicting some damage, could not form a completely effective blockade.

Still, a large number of Chaos forces arrived.

Among them, Chaos Starfield Warriors were numerous as well.

Currently, at least a hundred-strong Chaos Combat Group targeted the just-landed Martins and others.

Their numbers were five times greater than Martins and his Glory Guard!

After all, even Martins could only parachute from a single Dragon Elephant War Machine. Fitting twenty Great Nirvana Guards inside the Dragon Elephant War Machine was already decent, realistically not allowing for more troops.

Though these Great Nirvana Guards appeared excellently equipped, half terminators, half Fine Work Power Armor, mightily valiant, but then what? The Chaos warriors did not believe they could withstand five times their number.
