Chapter 1937 The Immortal Army
Just when Zhu Fu realized that the attack was hopeless, more deadly news came from the rear.
Huron's main formation was attacked by the fleet of man-eating sharks that suddenly appeared, and Soshyan's flagship also broke away from the battle around the Blessing Barrier to join the siege of Huron's main formation, and now became Huron's main formation. Lun is going to be beheaded!
What is even more shocking is that Huron did not dare to fight at all and chose to retreat, causing the entire attack queue to be torn apart. Now they are in a state of attack from head to tail, and some warbands have begun to withdraw. We are fighting, but overall we are still under control.
Realizing that nothing could be done, Zhu Fu decisively ordered a retreat without hesitation, and ordered that the passages and facilities along the way be destroyed during the retreat to prevent the pursuit of the imperial army.
"Zod."
Oscar's whole world seems to have collapsed now. Although all battle brothers are blood relatives, they were brothers before the transformation. The pain of losing each other is more cruel than anyone else.
He struggled to stand up, but his vision was blurred, and then he fell to the ground softly.
After groping for a while and taking off his helmet, Oscar struggled to crawl towards his brother's fallen head.
Gradually, his vision recovered, but——
"Zod. No. No. Huh?"
After groping for a long time, Oscar didn't find Zod's head. He looked left and right, turning over the corpses and fragments on the ground but couldn't find it.
When he looked at Zod's body, he almost screamed.
Zod's head ran back to his body at some point. If he hadn't just witnessed it with his own eyes, Oscar would have almost thought he was in a hallucination.
And what’s even more incredible is that Zod’s head seems to be still shaking slightly from side to side.
"This -"
Oscar used his sword to support himself and stood up. At this time, the end of the battle was still going on. Some of the imperial troops had already chased the fleeing enemies, and Farzad was gathering the people of the company.
"Zod——"
Oscar ran over with difficulty, knelt beside Zod, and found that the other party was indeed still alive, and quickly took off Zod's helmet.
At this time, Zod's face was covered with blue-gray veins. Oscar knew that this was a sign of using gray marrow, and on Zod's neck, a thin silver line was shining.
"Ahem."
Suddenly, Zod coughed twice and opened his eyes. His eyes were as dark as the void at the moment, but they soon returned to their original appearance.
“Ah, brother, the heretic that I damned can’t be killed with one sword. It’s so dangerous. My head was almost chopped off by him. Was I knocked unconscious? My throat hurts so much that I want to drink. Order a drink. Or a can of red ant-bull."
Oscar, who was sweating coldly, wanted to tell the other party that your head has been chopped off.
Then Oscar looked around. No one should have noticed. Maybe there had been before but not many
"Gray marrow, Zod, when did you transplant it?"
"I think it was before the expedition, but it never took effect. I thought it failed and I didn't bother to tell you."
"Hmm. "
Oscar frowned and helped Zod up, and the other party twisted his neck. At this time, the silver thread had disappeared, leaving only a shallow white mark.
Zod touched his neck, and then touched his armor. The originally smooth edges turned into jagged shapes, as if something had violently swept here.
"Huh? Why does this place seem to have been chopped by something? Didn't I get hit on the head and fainted? How do I feel?"
Then he noticed Oscar's weird expression.
"What's wrong? Why does it look like someone is dead?"
"Zod, did you really lose consciousness just now?"
"Otherwise you thought I was Lying down to sleep? This place doesn’t look like a beach, does it?”
Suddenly, Zod's expression froze, and he recalled that it seemed that the Chaos Champion's ax had indeed scratched him - Zod's eyes widened and he was about to speak, when Oscar suddenly raised a finger to signal the other party to be silent. .
Two young battle sisters came over. They seemed to notice that the two people had been staying in place, thinking that they were in trouble or seriously injured.
"You two, do you need help?"
Oscar shook his head.
"It's okay, it's okay."
Then he helped Zod stand up, and the two nuns nodded and turned away. At this time, Zod whispered:
"It happened What?”
Oscar shook his head.
“I don’t know, but I guess it may have something to do with gray marrow. I was able to use gray marrow all of a sudden just now, and I also sensed similar situations happening to many brothers. Do you think the situation in you is also the same? Not an exception.”
Realizing that he had been resurrected from the dead, Zod's expression was very strange.
“Oh my God, if I say this, I might become a heretic. Maybe others will think I am possessed by a demon.”
“So be careful with your words and deeds.”
"Ah, I suddenly realized why our past army was called the Undead Army"
"Okay, stop talking, let's talk about it when we get back."
At this time, the two met three other people in the company. One of them was also being supported. His chest armor and abdominal armor could be seen with large areas of tearing and damage, and there were also penetration holes. Generally, this kind of In this case, the body under the power armor will not be much better.
But there was nothing wrong with this one except that his face was a bit pale. Among the five of them, you looked at me and I looked at you, and one of them spoke first.
"Oscar, have you ever met?"
Oscar stretched out his hand and made a gesture on Zod's neck. The other party immediately stopped what he was going to say next, and then pointed at the person next to him. That one.
"So did Viner, he was already in two pieces before."
"Have you been seen by others?"
"Maybe. Probably not? I'm not sure, the battlefield is very chaotic, you know."
Oscar shook his head and signaled to the other party Without further ado, we came to Farzad's side together. The other party was also shocked when he counted the casualties. Ten soldiers who had been marked as dead before were inexplicably resurrected during the post-war statistics.
After Oscar’s explanation, Farzad immediately counted again and found that the resurrected warriors had indeed been transplanted with gray marrow, which meant that this was another use of gray marrow that they did not know about, and it was later updated. A surprising thing emerged.
In the entire third company, 26 soldiers awakened the gray marrow during the entire battle. They were implanted at different times, but most of them had no effect. They were still in the "observation period", but they were unified There was something obviously weird about the collective awakening during the time.
Moreover, Farzad was not sure whether any outsiders noticed these anomalies. After all, many non-Space Marine personnel were involved in this battle, so there is no guarantee that anyone might have seen something.
In the end, he could only order the Third Company to stop all fighting, arrange for pharmacists to collect the fallen soldiers, recover their gene seeds, and then report the matter to Soshyana to see what his superiors said.
Although a certain proportion of fallen soldiers were "resurrected", the Third Company still suffered heavy casualties in this defensive operation. 19 soldiers were killed, and another 2 were seriously injured and could only enter the Dreadnought Mecha.
However, they also successfully blocked the last and most ferocious wave of offensive launched by the Red Pirates. After that, the Red Pirates began to fully retreat from the Star Castle.
While the Red Pirates' assault force retreated in a hurry, Soshyan and his battleships had already broken away from the formation and pursued Huron's flagship with the Man-Eating Shark fleet.
