Chapter 202 Disagreement
The warden was even more satisfied with the deal. Not only had he sold Brutal for a good price, but he had also made a lot of money by organizing the fighting tournament. He thought Russell was a good buyer.
"That's for sure, who would turn down money?" the warden said with a smile.
Russell didn't actually like the warden's demeanor; he was opportunistic and would stop at nothing for profit. However, he had no choice but to associate with such people. All the imperial nobles were like that. Although he disliked the nobles, they did bring him many benefits. Russell had no choice but to associate with the Blade of Fire.
Although the "Brutal" has been successfully subdued, equipping him is undoubtedly another problem.
With Brutal in hand, Russell no longer needed to do the breaking of formations himself, so he gave him his weapon, the Power Hammer. What was a two-handed hammer for Russell became a one-handed hammer for Brutal. To make better use of Brutal, Russell also equipped him with a huge Storm Shield, so that he could both attack and defend, killing two birds with one stone.
To further enhance the brutality's defensive capabilities, Russell also sought out Steeltooth to help him obtain a set of the best shell armor from the Mechanicus. This was a heavy shell armor, at least three times thicker than the shell armor worn by the Kashezan warriors, and its defensive capabilities rivaled those of the Space Marines' terracotta armor.
Russell had considered equipping Brutal with terracotta armor, but Steeltooth persuaded him to abandon the idea.
Both the armor shell and the storm shield feature a flaming dagger, a symbol of the Blade of Fire.
With the addition of these equipment, their brutal combat power has been elevated to another level.
Another thing is that this brutal guy can really eat a lot; it's no exaggeration to say that he can devour a whole cow in one sitting.

A huge plume of smoke rose into the sky, and countless orc war chariots from the Extreme Speed Weirdos Tribe swarmed in.
"Fire!" The defense officer opened fire before the orc chariots even got close.
During this period, the number of orc war chariots increased, and they constantly harassed the defense line of the defenders.
After more than a month of fighting, the orcs completely shattered the three lines of defense of the Defence Force, allowing them to get closer to the Hive City. However, the further they went, the harder it became to fight. The Defence Force was no longer the main force; the main force now consisted of the Space Marines in the name of the Aegis and the Astronauts led by Commissar Arek.
Although no Space Marines have come to this world during this period, the Astronauts have sent quite a few, with the majority being warriors from the Cadian Legion.
"How long has Russell been gone?" Aksu asked Political Commissar Yarek.
Commissar Arek said: It's been a while.
“This won’t do. We need to take action. The orcs are gathering strength, and I believe they will launch another major attack soon. At that time, we may not be able to resist, and we will lose our hives!” Aksu was extremely anxious during this period. Sitting idly by and waiting for death is not the style of a Space Marine.
Just as the two were talking, a Thunderhawk gunboat descended from the sky and slowly landed on the trench. Russell and his men stepped off the Thunderhawk gunboat.
The two people who were still talking suddenly brightened up.
Aksu laughed: "It's Russell, he's finally back!"
Company Commander Aksu was overjoyed to see Russell.
"Russell, you're finally back?" Aksu greeted him from a distance.
Russell was also very happy and said: "It's great to see you again, Company Commander Aksu."
Aksu glanced at the brutal man next to Russell and asked curiously: Who is this?
“His name is ‘Brutal,’ and he’s an Oglin, but unlike those big, dumb guys, he’s a shrewd and powerful warrior!” Russell introduced.
Since even Russell said this guy was strong, he must be quite good, which made Company Commander Aksu take a second look at him.
“I’ve been waiting for you!” Aksu continued.
"what happened?"
"The orcs are currently gathering strength, and I think it won't be long before they launch another fierce offensive. Before they launch their offensive, we must do something, such as destroying their war factories like we did last time."
Russell shook his head and said: We no longer need to do that. News has come from the Imperial Navy that the Unyielding Expeditionary Fleet will be arriving soon.
"I've also received the news, but I want to ensure that nothing goes wrong!" Aksu Company Commander said firmly.
Russell scratched his head and said: "Lord Aksu, it's not a good time to attack the orcs' war factory now. If we get entangled with the orcs, we'll be wiped out."
Russell's meaning was clear: he was unwilling to join Aksu in destroying the Orc War Factory.
Aksu frowned slightly. He hadn't expected Russell to refuse him. His expression immediately turned cold as he said coldly, "I always thought you were a warrior, but I never imagined you were a coward."
His words were quite hurtful, so much so that everyone's eyes were on him.
Russell, however, didn't take it to heart and said: "Company Commander, you can call me whatever you want, but I can't joke around with my brothers' lives. You are Space Marines who can escape unscathed from the beast tide, but my Bladeblade is just some ordinary people. Now I only have 70 warriors left, and I can't do anything too risky."
Russell's attitude and tone were very firm.
Aksu snorted coldly and said: Since you are unwilling, I will not force you. I will take my people to do this. I should have known better than to wait for you. You have really disappointed me!
Aksu turned and left, saying as he walked away.
After Aksu left, Commissar Arek came to Russell's side and said: Russell, please don't be angry. This is how Space Marines do things. I think your idea is right.
Russell smiled wryly: How could I be angry, and I dare not be angry. As a captain, I naturally have to consider the brothers.
Commissar Arek glanced at the brutal man and said: This Oglin looks very powerful!
Russell glanced at Brutal with satisfaction and said, "He is indeed a powerful warrior."
"Did you go to Vigilant Planet this time just for him?"
Russell nodded and said: Yes, we even fought in the ring. I beat him in the ring before he agreed to join the Blade of Fire.
"Congratulations on finding another powerful helper!" Commissar Arek couldn't hide his envy. As an Imperial Commissar, he desperately needed an Oglin bodyguard.
“You’ll have one too. If I meet a good Oglin warrior in the future, I’ll give you one,” Russell assured him.
