Chapter 695, Death of the Overlord, Battle of Rheadouches (10)
The Hive Overlord was hit again by Mjolnir, and it hit the head with all its strength!
The force of this attack was extremely powerful, and it was slightly less powerful than the previous charge of the Black Cross Champion.
Several teeth flew out of its mouth; one eyeball was blown out; and the entire solid skull shell was somewhat deformed.
However, this is still not a fatal injury.
The Hive Overlord, who was beaten dizzy, was immediately attacked by Leroy and another champion. But at this time, it could still wield its four giant blades and force them back.
The third champion wields the thunder hammer and wants to do it again.
But this time, he took the risk.
Seeing that the hive overlord was already in a miserable state, he tried to take advantage of his illness to kill him, but the back-end needle came much faster than expected.
In the middle of swinging the hammer, the champion, who couldn't dodge, was pierced through the chest by the tail needle.
Space Marines are tenacious, but it also depends on the enemy they face. Usually a bullet or a knife destroys the heart and lungs, which is a serious injury, but it is usually difficult for a space warrior with two hearts and three lungs to die on the spot. They were often able to retain combat effectiveness for quite some time, and it was common for them to survive and return to the battlefield even after the war, if they were properly treated by pharmacists.
But facing the Hive Overlord, the tail piercing is different. The moment the armor and body were penetrated together, there was an explosive force that turned the entire torso of the Space Marine inside the armor into a ball of mud.
The thunder hammer fell to the ground feebly.
Leroy glared angrily, took a step forward, crossed the distance he had just been forced back, and slashed the Holy Leader Sword from top to bottom, directly cutting off the tail that had not yet been drawn out.
A large amount of blood spurted out from the fracture, and the insect nest overlord roared with the intention of launching a counterattack against Leroy.
The scene once again fell into a situation where Leroy needed to deal with four serrated bone blades with a single sword.
But this time, the situation was much better. Leroy felt that the Hive Overlord's offensive was obviously not as sharp as it was at the beginning.
The massive bleeding caused by the tail being cut off completely, the chitin armor on the back being shattered and the internal skeleton also being damaged, the dizziness and chaos caused by a heavy hammer on the head... these were added together to make the Hive Overlord's combat effectiveness unsatisfactory. So powerful in its heyday.
Although the pressure is still very high, it will not be as miserable as when I was overwhelmed at the beginning and was about to fail at any time.
The remaining Black Cross champion took advantage of the moment when the two were fighting swords and seized an opportunity to stab the insect hive overlord's back with his power sword hard.
The Hive Overlord turned back and was about to strike him with a sword, but Leroy came up again and cut off the entire arm of the Hive Overlord's back at the cost of cutting through the thickest shoulder armor.
If one hand is cut off, the Hive Overlord's combat effectiveness will be reduced even further.
Although he turned sideways and faced the Black Cross Champion with one knife and Leroy with two knives, he did not give the human a chance to go around his back. However, he himself was also showing signs of decline and was no longer as powerful as before.
If this continues, there is a high probability that Leroy will be able to seize an opportunity later. Either kill it with one sword, or kill it with one arm, which is also very good.
However, quietly, Leroy suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis!
He suddenly gave up the attack and suddenly retreated, only to see that where he was standing, the ground suddenly collapsed and a snake rushed out.
If you don't hide, you will suffer a big blow this time.
But just a snake is nothing. After it emerged, the next second it was killed by a precise sniper bomb fired from a distance.
The Snake Insect is considered the elite fighting force of the insect swarm, but in the current level of battle, it is really not enough to be killed by a long-range firearm.
But it doesn't matter, Snake is just a tunnel digger. The executioner tyrant who jumped out immediately behind the snake was the key role.
This thing is considered the top creature in the insect nest army - the top level in conventional concepts. It is almost at the same level as the Hive Tyrant. The only difference is that the Hive Tyrant is a warrior commander, while the Executioner Tyrant is a specialized, agile version of the top hunter.
There is a certain gap between its frontal combat capability and that of the Hive Tyrant, but it is more agile, faster, and more insidious. It also has a set of characteristics and preferences for concealment and ambush. When it comes to fighting, you can't tell who is more terrifying.
This executioner tyrant rushed toward Leroy like a madman.
It's true that he is fierce. Colaro is a top player, not an ordinary champion. But when the three of them came together, the executioner tyrant was killed by the Holy Leader Sword.
However, its purpose has been achieved.
Leroy was more or less intercepted for a moment.
After he got rid of the blockers, he saw the insect nest overlord running back!
The cunning Hive Overlord is not something that must be beaten to death. Seeing that the situation is not good, retreating will not cause any psychological pressure at all.
Furthermore, it can jump back into the incubation pool if things go wrong. In a short period of time, the wounds and broken limbs on the body can be repaired urgently.
By then, all previous efforts have been wasted.
Not only Leroy can realize this, but so can another Black Cross Champion.
He rushed forward and tried to stop it.
But just as Leroy killed the executioner tyrant, the Hive Overlord also killed the Black Cross Champion.
However, it was slower than Leroy, so that when Leroy rushed forward, his battle brother had just died, and the Overlord's war blade had not yet had time to draw out.
Another battle brother died tragically, but Leroy could no longer care about his grief. Seizing this opportunity, the Holy Leader Sword cut off one of the overlord's arms. Immediately afterwards, the swift sword slash swept towards the insect nest overlord without stopping for a moment.
The Hive Overlord tried to force Leroy back several times, but failed.
Marshal Black Cross tried his best to prevent the opponent from running away.
The Hive Overlord does not have the emotion of fear, but its cold-blooded brain still analyzes that evacuation now is the best solution. Therefore, after a confrontation, he continued to run away regardless, even giving up his back.
Of course, Leroy would not miss this opportunity and pursued him with great strides. However, he saw that the overlord turned sideways in the blink of an eye, holding a bone blade behind his back and stabbing him backwards.
A shot back!
LeRoy, who was pursuing too much, could no longer dodge.
But in the flash of lightning, he made up his mind again. Not only did he not retreat, but his footsteps became even firmer!
The bone blade pierced his abdomen, and huge power exploded in his body, destroying his organs from the inside; but his sword had already fallen, cutting off this arm as well.
In the calculations of the Hive Overlord, he did not expect that Leroy would be so decisive.
It had no other way to end Leroy. It could only turn around completely and hastily raised its last hand to block, but was undoubtedly chopped off again.
But after two struggles, the distance between the two has become extremely close, almost touching.
The Hive Overlord opened his mouth wide and bit Leroy's head, which was very close to him.
Once it bites, the bloody mouth is enough to envelop the marshal's entire head and bite it off.
However, at the critical moment, Leroy tilted his head slightly, so that the giant mouth could only bite the joint between his shoulder and neck.
Although it was protected by thick shoulder armor, it was also bitten through by sharp teeth. He could feel that the left half of his neck was bitten off.
Fatally wounded.
But at this moment, the Holy Leader Sword drew a half-moon arc from bottom to top, completely cutting off the insect nest overlord's head that was biting on his neck.
Leroy, whose eyes turned black, couldn't hold on and fell to the ground. But what allowed him to rest in peace was that the Hive Overlord, whose limbs, forearms, tail, and head were all severed, also fell to the ground with a crash.
……
When Leroy opened his eyes again, he found that he was completely unable to move.
It wasn't that he felt restrained, but that he couldn't feel any of his limbs below his chin, so of course he couldn't move.
Even his chin seemed to be gone.
He could feel that he should be completely immersed in the nutrient solution now. Through the transparent cover of the training chamber, he could see a group of people wearing Mechanicum robes busy outside.
The mechanical priests noticed his awakening and communicated with each other. Some of them turned around and left, probably to report to their superiors. Others entered certain instructions at the console next to them.
Leroy felt that the back of his head was numb, as if it was electrified, and then he seemed to be able to speak.
Of course he doesn't speak like a normal human, his vocal cords are gone.
What makes the sound is an artificial organ connected to his back. The neural commands are converted into electrical signals, and the sound is made through the speaker next to the petri dish. It also gives neural feedback to the brain, allowing him to hear himself. ' words.
External sounds will also be 'heard' by him in a similar way.
"Marshal Leroy, can you hear me?"
"Yes." Although he was a little uncomfortable, he still mastered the skill of 'speaking'.
"You finally woke up... I'm sorry, the situation was very critical at the time, and we had to remove a lot of things from your body, but please believe that this is all necessary to keep you alive. Although the success rate is very low, But it’s great to see you making it through…”
Leroy interrupted the other person's constant talk about his situation and asked the question he was most concerned about: "How is the battle going?"
He has not lost his memory, and has not forgotten the last scene before waking up.
"The situation is complicated, so I can't say more to you. But at least your life is saved now. Wait a moment, we have notified our superiors, and someone will come to see you soon. Before that, let me give you a good Please tell us about your current situation and the various methods we have used to save you.”
This member of the Mechanicus, who seemed to be a ruling bishop, seemed quite enthusiastic, even excited.
For their team, it took a lot of effort to revive Leroy who was sent to the sky at that time, and they used many unproven, very risky, and even taboo methods.
But fortunately, they succeeded.
This is a very good case, and it can be used as a topic in the future and marked on the resume when promoting the main business sage.
Leroy listened without saying a word.
He didn't understand and didn't care about many of the specific technical details that the ruling bishop kept mentioning in his words.
However, he also roughly understood his current physical condition.
As the other party said, most of his body was gone.
The chin and the left half of his neck were completely destroyed and had to be removed. An iron chin was replaced and sewn to the connection between the back of his head and his neck. The left half of his neck that was bitten off was also replaced with an artificial blood vessel.
Only the right half of his chest was left, and the left half was cut off, leaving only one lung and a heart.
His abdominal cavity was completely removed.
The loss of the chest and abdominal cavities left his originally intact limbs without links to the torso, leaving only his left arm, and the rest were removed.
In other words, all that is left of his original body is the upper half of his head, the right half of his neck, the right half of his chest, and his right hand.
The rest is gone.
Can he continue to live as a warrior like this?
Maybe that's okay.
Thinking of this, he 'heard' footsteps.
A Terminator wearing a Black Cross uniform and a marshal's logo walked in, accompanied by several personal guards. He stood in front of the training warehouse, took off his helmet, and handed it to the guard next to him.
That was Leroy's old friend, Marshal Xi Rui of the Fourth Fleet.
The expression on Xi Rui's face was quite complicated. He was thankful to see his old friend alive, but also sad to see him in such a miserable state.
"How is the battle going?" Leroy asked him the question he was most concerned about first.
"Victory." Xi Rui gave an affirmative answer, "Your final assault was fruitful. After the insect nest overlord was beheaded, all the insect units in the RM008 nest were disabled, and the insect nest lost its protection. The remaining troops planted bombs and blew up the insect nest. Your remaining guards brought out the bodies of many battle brothers, including you, and urgently called several spaceships to send you back to orbit. ”
"Fortunately, at least you passed through the interception net. Now, here is the flagship of the coalition - the Golden Pass. With the support of Commander-in-Chief Gu, many ruling bishops from the Alamita Sect, the Mars Sect, and the Mingyang Sect , formed a team of experts together and saved your life.”
RM008 is Leroy’s original strategic goal.
Hearing that it was finally blown up, Leroy's biggest worry was put aside.
No matter how miserable he is now, at least, as Xi Rui said, he won the battle he fought.
But the battle at that time was not limited to the insect nest.
"What about the frontal battlefield?"
"At least I didn't lose."
"What do you mean?"
"Your action to kill the Hive Overlord actually had an impact on the frontal battlefield. Many Zerg units were also disabled. Our troops caused a lot of casualties at this stage. However, the most important biological Titans are still normal, and the delay is When the remaining disabled Zerg are taken over.”
"But they also retreated after suffering huge casualties. Now, the ground battle is still continuing. Commander-in-Chief Salisius and Chapter Commander Martins have taken their respective troops down to the ground. I I was about to leave, but if you had woken up a few hours later, I would have been on the ground.”
"Next, you should take good care of your injuries, and the rest of the battle will be left to us."
The description of recovering from injuries is quite outrageous for Leroy now, but Xi Rui can only say this.
"I want to enter the Fearless Iron Coffin. If the surgery is faster, maybe I can catch up with the subsequent battle."
The voice translated through the electrical signal was cold and emotionless, but Xi Rui could hear the determination in it.

After watching the finals, I rushed to finish the draft, and now I’m here...
A little disappointed...
Faker is admirable.
