Rebirth in the Primordial Insects

In the two hundred and fifty long years after the first invasion of the Hades.

The Altmar system became the mainstay of the empire's eastern frontier.

Protecting other territories of the human empire from the ravages of horrific aliens.

But the price is also increasing year by year.

Because, in the Battle of Macrogg, the elites of the first company of the Ultramarines held on to the Arctic Fortress until the last man was fired. The complete annihilation of this company of all Terminators was a huge and irreparable loss.

The Ultramarines never gave up easily, and it was their sacred duty to never retreat. They quickly began to rebuild the First Company.

In the subsequent continuous battles with the Hades fleet, the soldiers of the Ultramarines accumulated a lot of experience in fighting the Hades. Under the supervision of Pastor Cassius, they gradually formed a new elite force called the Hades. The elite Tyranid War Troops.

Initially, people expressed dissatisfaction with the emergence of this new force, because it contradicted the teachings of the great scriptures, and the Ultramarines should be all-round warriors, rather than focusing on a certain combat mode.

But two reasons quelled these objections. First, the continued fighting against the Hades had produced a considerable number of veterans, sufficient to rebuild the First Company;

Secondly, the threat of the Insects became more and more serious, and eventually half of the members of the first company were composed of such elite warriors.

Of course, the most important role among them is Pastor Cassius, who is currently the biggest obstacle enemy of the Hades. It can be said that his existence has prevented the attacks of the Tyrans of the Hades!

Priest Cassius is the oldest member of the Ultramarines.

What's visible in what little skin he has is a tangle of biochemical life support and battle scars.

His one intact eye burned with unquenchable rage.

Although Cassius was nearly four hundred years old, his arms were still strong and his purpose still clear.

His muscular appearance on the Ultramarines' front filled his younger brothers with pride and prowess.

His fanatical words inspired the Ultramarines to advance through thousands of worlds, using his deep passion and belief to burn the passion of his brothers to the highest point.

Cassius could recall the years of cleaning up the terrible Bahamus Hive Fleet with Marinus Calgar during the First Tyranid War.

In the final stages of the war, Cassius completed the rescue of a company that was besieged and wiped out in the Polar Fortress.

At great cost, the Tyranid invaders were hunted and exterminated.

But for the veterans of the company, it was already too late.

Few of Cassius's guards were uninjured in close combat. Even Cassius himself was hit by an executioner. He relied entirely on his own will to hold on until the battle group's apothecary arrived.

After a long recovery, especially a painful biochemical reorganization of his body, Cassius returned to the battlefield with new purpose and rage.

While soaked in the healing fluid, the ancient priest suddenly came to his senses.

He believed that the Tyranids were more than a mere existential threat.

These aliens are punishment for human beings' lack of vigilance. In Cassius's eyes, there is nothing more that can be said except to completely eliminate them from the galaxy.

So the grizzled priest petitioned Lord Macragge to forge a new force of Ultramarines, chosen from the survivors of the Tyranid War.

Cassius believed that only those Space Marines who had been tested like himself could truly understand the Tyranid threat.

Despite his doubts about the combat effectiveness of Cassius's eagerly awaited new army, Calgar agreed to his request.

With the Chapter Master's approval, Cassius immediately called together his fellow veterans of the Tyranid Wars.

Although Cassius's new force was initially small in number, each warrior's experience of close combat with the Tyranid Hive Fleet allowed the newcomer to immediately understand his mission.

As the number of operations increased, Cassius became more and more extreme, and his troops became more and more famous among the Ultramarines.

Although it may have been a slight deviation from the Codex Astartes, Lord Macragge tolerated his mentor's deviations.

Calgar knew that the relationship between the Ultramarines and the Tyranids had to be evaluated in another way, and that Cassius's followers might hold the final key to victory.

There is only one acceptable solution to Tyran's blasphemous behavior. Exterminate them all, there are only two sides in this battle - choose carefully lest you and I find ourselves on different sides.
