The strongest astral army in Warhammer 40K

The Primarch versus the demons—this level of combat is beyond their capabilities.

Admiral Cook immediately ordered everyone to retreat back onto the track.

Under the cover of the Space Marines, the Astronauts slowly retreated back onto their ships.

Kayans, as a wounded soldier, was also transported back to the ship.

While Kayans was still dazed, he suddenly heard a familiar voice call out: "Is that Kayans? How is he?"

Russell hurried over from a distance.

Two Kadian warriors carried Kayans on a stretcher.

When Kayans opened his eyes, he saw a burly man walking towards him with a smile.

He stared in astonishment, his eyes wide as if someone were grabbing his throat; this burly man was incredibly strong.

Perhaps because of his overly developed muscles, Russell now particularly likes to wear a vest, and his rock-like muscles draw attention.

Russell approached Kayans and extended his strong right hand to shake Kayans's hand.

Kayans instinctively flinched and asked, "Who are you?"

Russell paused for a moment and said, "I'm Russell! Don't you recognize me?"

"Russell?" Kayans looked incredulous. In his memory, Russell was not this strong. Two Russells combined would probably be able to match the burly man in front of him.

Russell patted his angular face and said, "Don't look at my figure, look at my face!"

Kayan looked at Russell's face carefully and said: You do look like Russell, but what's wrong with your figure?

Russell looked at his muscular physique and said, "I don't know what happened. I killed the Orc War Chieftain, then passed out and woke up like this?"

"What? Killed the orc war leader!" Kayans was even more incredulous.

Russell nodded seriously and said: Yes, I chopped off its head with an entrenching tool.

Kayans nearly fainted. He certainly didn't believe Russell had killed the Orc War Chief, but how could he explain Russell's current state?

Just as Kayans was in a daze, Russell quickly called out: "Quickly carry Kayans over so we brothers can have a proper talk."

Kayans was placed on a hospital bed, and Russell looked at him with a smile and said: Your recovery speed is really too slow. If it were me, I would probably be better by now.

Kayan rolled his eyes and said, "How can my body compare to yours? Did you really kill the Orc War Chief?"

Russell nodded and said: Yes, back then, Lord Vangrey and I were fighting the Orc War Chief. Lord Vangrey defeated the Orc War Chief and I took the opportunity to cut off its head, and that's how I ended up looking like this.

After Russell finished speaking, Kayans fell into deep thought.

"Although I've changed, I really like who I am now. I have big muscles and great strength, and I could easily take on Oglin one-on-one," Russell said happily.

"You took on Oglin one-on-one?"

"Yes, we didn't use any weapons, it was purely a physical fight. Although it shattered my knee, I still managed to kill it."

Kayan swallowed hard and said, "You're a monster. Even a strong man like Oglinkatachan might not be able to do that in a one-on-one fight."

"I also won by skill; I'm no match for Oglin in terms of strength!"

"That's incredible!" Kayans exclaimed incredulously.

Just as the two were talking, a Space Marine from the Silver Knights walked in from outside.

“Who’s Russell?” the Space Marine asked.

The Cadian warriors in the hospital all looked at the Space Marine. Russell also glanced at the Space Marine and said, "My name is Russell. May I ask what business you have with me, sir?"

The Space Marine approached Russell, glanced at him, and nodded, saying, "You're really special. The Chapter Master is looking for you; he wants to talk to you."

"Lord Van Grey?" Russell asked curiously.

The Space Marine nodded and said: Yes.

Ross looked at Cayan and said, "You take good care of your injury. I'll be right back."

After saying this, Russell followed the Space Marines to the flagship of the Silver Knights.

This was Russell's first time on a Space Marine flagship, and he immediately noticed that the Space Marine flagship was far more luxurious than anything the Astronauts could match. The deck was filled not only with fully armed Space Marines but also with mortal support troops.

"Lord Van Grey, Russell has arrived!" the Space Marine announced respectfully from outside.

"Come in!"

The Space Marines and Russell went together to Van Grey's study.

This is a very large study, filled with all kinds of books. On the large desk is an open book, which, if you look closely, is an introduction to the orc race.

At this moment, Van Grey was not wearing armor, but a long robe, revealing his incredibly strong arms. Seeing Van Grey's arms, Russell finally understood what strong arms truly were.

Van Grey's forearm muscles were not like Russell's blocky muscles, but rather lines of muscle; each muscle twitched with the slightest movement of his hand.

Even without his Terminator armor, Van Grey is still over three meters tall and is enormous.

Van Grey turned and glanced at Russell, saying, "Your name is Russell, right?"

Russell nodded and said: Yes.

"I rescued you after you killed the orc war leader; you had already fainted at the time!" Vangret said, sitting in a huge chair.

The Space Marines also brought Russell a chair suitable for a mortal.

“Sit!” Van Grey said calmly.

After Russell sat down, Van Grey said, "I've wanted to talk to you for a long time, but I've been too busy with the war to notice."

"Thank you so much for saving me, sir!" Russell said sincerely.

"No need to thank me. I wouldn't have saved you if you hadn't killed the Orc War Chieftain. After all, it's not common for an Astral Army soldier to be able to kill an Orc War Chieftain. Can you tell me what method you used to kill the Orc War Chieftain?"

Russell shook his head and said: There was no other way. I just jumped up and slashed at him with all my might. I don't know if I could kill the orc war boss.

“I believe what you say. I was just looking through the introduction of orcs and I found that orcs like to duel. When they kill their opponents, they will gain some of their opponents’ abilities. Now I suspect that you killed the orc war boss and gained some of its abilities. Otherwise, how do you explain your change in size?” Van Grey analyzed.

Russell scratched his head and said: I don't know!

Van Grey chuckled and said, "Of course you don't know, but there's something strange about it. This phenomenon has never occurred among humans before. I often kill orcs but haven't gained any of their power. So I just think that this is the most likely reason for your change. If there's a deeper reason, then I don't know!"
