Chapter 694, Justice siege, Battle of Rheadoches (9)
Leroy was angry and rushed forward. After a moment, he was in front of the Insect Hive Overlord.
He knew that the only way to face this insect nest overlord was to stand up to him. Except for him, anyone else would die in vain in front of him.
However, even he himself is capable of fighting against the Hive Overlord?
He was confident that he would be able to defeat the Insect Hive Tyrant, and he would be sure of it; defeating the Insect Hive Overlord... at least looked at the bloody storm it had just caused in his own army, it seemed a bit uncertain.
But what can be done?
Either he ordered the entire army to retreat, and then countless people were hacked to death on the way back, and then the retreat turned into a rout, and then led to an all-round rout on the frontal battlefield...
If that were the result, he would definitely be blamed for his death.
He first sent the Northern Front General Army to defeat the first battle of Rheadouches; now the ground combat part of the second battle was originally a turnaround battle for him. What a great achievement, at least it can make up for the mistake of the previous failure.
But if he loses this crucial game again, what is he still doing?
Would he live to be used to poke the back of the glorious Black Crusaders?
Then he would rather die.
If he was destined to be a loser, he would rather die in battle with inferior skills than a coward who ordered an escape.
What's more, although the fight hasn't started yet, we can't tell the final result.
Nor is he fighting alone.
His marshal's bodyguards followed him; several champion swordsmen drawn from each company also accompanied him.
There is no chance of winning in a one-on-one fight, but there is no guarantee in a just group fight.
The Hive Overlord is also surrounded by several Overlord guards. The strength of these people, even if they are not at the level of a tyrant, is at most a hair short of it.
These high-level bugs were stopped by Marshal Leroy's personal guards.
And he himself faced the insect nest overlord head-on, and felt the tremendous pressure firsthand.
He originally wanted to take advantage of the charging momentum to find an opportunity to give the overlord a serious blow. An ordinary power sword can cause limited damage when struck on his body, but what he holds in his hand is the 'Holy Leader Sword', one of the ten holy swords of the Black Crusaders, which is not the same thing as an ordinary power sword. Under this sword, at least three great demons were killed and sent back to the subspace. No matter how thick, hard, or tough the Hive Overlord's armor is, if it is slashed hard, it will be severely damaged.
But, where is the opportunity so easy to seize?
The cunning Hive Overlord analyzed the threat of the 'Holy Leader Sword' the moment he approached. He turned around in an instant, and two psychic bone blades staggered from both sides of Leroy.
If Leroy had to stab the Hive Overlord, it would catch it with its side and back, and it might be severely injured, but Leroy would definitely be cut in half and die.
After that, no one can even think of picking up the fallen holy sword under its guard. And his injured body will quickly repair itself later, and it won't take long for him to be at full strength.
Do you want to risk your life to risk my serious injury?
LeRoy obviously won't make a losing choice.
He could only give up on giving up the overlord's blow, dodged the one on the left, and used the Holy Leader Sword to block the one on the right.
Finally, we got through the first wave of crisis.
However, this is just the beginning. When he wanted to use his sword skills again and take the initiative to attack, he saw the four war blades of the Insect Nest Overlord slashing at him like a gust of wind and rain.
Fast, sophisticated and accurate, this is how Leroy feels. Even by human standards, the Hive Overlord is technically a master of swordsmanship.
But this is not the biggest and most distinctive feeling.
The biggest feeling is that the power it possesses is really ridiculously great!
With the blessing of extraordinary power, Leroy had to do his best to deal with every sword of the Hive Overlord, but he had four swords and the level of a master swordsman, which made Leroy retreat steadily after being slashed.
Still want to take the initiative to attack?
It is already very rare to be able to hold on without being hacked to death, and there is no chance to launch any counterattack.
Even holding on is a false proposition. During this ten-second confrontation, Leroy felt that he could no longer bear it. Next, he may be cut out of his posture at any time and die.
But at this moment, Leroy's support finally arrived. His personal guards finally separated the Overlord guards, and the two Black Cross champions approached one from the left and the other from the right.
The Hive Overlord also had to take time out to deal with it.
LeRoy felt less stressed.
Finally he had time to attack.
But there was not a single successful hit.
It was either dodged or easily parried.
Does this count as a balanced battle situation?
Neither. During the moment of confrontation, the two Black Cross champions involved in the siege each received a wound.
The Hive Overlord may get a breakthrough from those two, or even Leroy, at any time.
And itself? Even after fighting against three champions and above, he was still unscathed. The few marks on his body were just the marks of being hit by individual missiles and explosive bombs on the way to the charge. At most, they were just scratches on the armor.
It is clear at a glance who has the advantage and who has the disadvantage.
A third champion emerged.
In this man's hand, he used a thunder hammer. He jumped up high, thunder and lightning roared on the long-handled war hammer, and the power was still turned to overload state. The thunder even directed into the champion himself, causing some damage to him.
But he ignored it and was bound to hit it with the hammer.
Leroy and the other two champions launched attacks from left, center and right at the same time, regardless of safety, trying to get that fierce thunder hammer for the battle brothers, which could hit the hive overlord firmly.
They succeeded.
Although it came at the cost of a battle brother's abdomen being pierced by a giant blade, and the thunder hammer was dodged a little and did not hit the head.
But it hit after all.
Mjolnir's overloaded power is still ferocious enough in the hands of a champion. Even the hard back armor of the Hive Overlord was still smashed into pieces, and purple-red blood burst out from it. His huge body inevitably fell to the ground under this heavy blow.
Leroy and the champion swordsman in good condition took this opportunity to prepare for the attack together. But even the Hive Overlord who was beaten to the ground still had the ability to resist.
It was even cunning enough to turn this into an insidious attack.
Leroy noticed it in advance, stopped, and shouted at the same time: "Be careful!"
The next moment, the Overlord's long tail suddenly popped out from the top of its head and extended forward, with a flash of purple light and a fierce thrust.
But fortunately, Leroy stopped, and the other champion was reminded and stopped too, preventing the Hive Overlord's tail back needle from making a difference.
The thunder hammer champion raised his hammer and wanted to do it again.
The Overlord, who had just half risen from the ground, seemed to be the best target.
It was half-kneeling, with its head turned towards the direction of the thunder hammer, looking helpless, as if the thunder hammer was going to smash its head at the next moment.
