Chapter 91, Corpse Bomb
Judging from Garrett's sharp eyes, the governor's soldiers who had just killed those enemies had done a very good job. The bullets were accurately and carefully delivered into the heads and chests of the armed workers, hitting two rounds each.
An enemy with almost no protection would definitely die if his vital parts were shot by the G9.
Confirming the outcome of the battle is a necessary tactical action, and Garrett will not interfere. In fact, her eyes were looking elsewhere.
Although the resisters who emerged now were scattered, there were indeed many. The armed workers who survived the bombardment used the ruins of the half-collapsed factory as bunkers and positions one after another. After the governor's soldiers who came to sweep came closer, they all took the lead and launched a counterattack.
The soldiers' progress was blocked and they had to find bunkers to fight back.
But similar to the scene that Garrett just saw, in most cases, the governor's soldiers achieved overwhelming victories by virtue of their stronger soldier quality and equipment advantages.
Of course there were some losses, but not big; on the contrary, the armed workers who showed up suffered more casualties.
But if there really is a place where there are more armed workers gathered, and the fighting is more cautious, and only the muzzle of the gun appears to stop them, then Gerrit is not going to waste time, she and her sisters will go directly.
These armed workers mixed with heretics were all hateful traitors in her eyes.
However, just when she focused on a place of stubborn resistance, where she thought the problem had been solved and she could rest assured, a sudden change occurred!
In Garuit's perception, a very strong storm of evil energy instantly appeared there.
Her expression changed and she immediately warned: "Danger! Get out of there!"
But it's too late now.
The bodies of the dead armed workers exploded like corpse bombs. Their flesh and blood were flying everywhere, as if a compressed air bomb had been buried in their bodies.
The soldiers who heard the warning but did not realize where the danger lay were blown several meters away by the sudden burst of compressed air. When they landed, their limbs were twisted, and the strong shock wave damaged their internal organs; the sharp air knife cut through the body that was not protected by the plastic steel vest and helmet, and the face, limbs, and throat were completely torn, and the flesh and blood were blurred.
Gerrit immediately started shouting again: "Don't get close to the enemy's body! It will explode!"
This accurate information, along with the scene that just happened, was seen by other soldiers in the surrounding area, and then quickly spread outside.
The actions of the Governor's soldiers became much more cautious.
The tragic death of their colleagues from the Corpse Storm bomb taught them a profound lesson. They changed the conventional tactical requirements. After a kill, they no longer confirm the kill at close range. Instead, if the kill goes smoothly, they will shoot from a distance.
This way, there was no need to worry that getting close to the corpse would be as dangerous as getting close to the mines, but the enemy quickly came up with new tricks.
Beside the armed workers, some people in blue robes appeared. The power of storm magic surges through them.
These people, in Gritte's eyes, are not very powerful magicians, but there are quite a few of them, and they are still timid. What they did was not to directly use magic to attack the Governor's soldiers and the battle nuns. Instead, they blew up the wind and blew the corpses of armed workers who were shot one after another to the Governor's soldiers. On their position.
These corpses, like compressed air cannonballs one after another, caused a lot of trouble to the soldiers.
These artillery shells sent by the wind are not more powerful than the 155-caliber howitzer, but the key is accuracy.
There were soldiers hiding behind slopes formed by collapsed walls and small recesses. As a result, a gust of wind swirled and sent a body in.
The soldiers had seen it in advance. It was useless to open fire and smash the corpse, so they could only run out quickly. The corpse bomb exploded, killing three people.
This bunker position that seemed to be good at first seemed to be unsafe.
In fact, nowhere is safe right now. The soldiers' actions were hampered by corpse bombs.
Even with the support of the Battle Sisters during this period, the problem was only somewhat alleviated.
The battle sisters have no problem killing those blue robes from a distance, but they still have to show their heads. Hiding behind construction debris and shell craters that may be several meters thick, the bolter can't hit it no matter how powerful it is.
Anyway, they sent the body over by blowing the wind, so there was no need to show up.
Under this situation, Gerrit made up her mind.
"Sisters, for the Emperor! Charge with me!"
She jumped out, and her sisters jumped out with her. The 'Holy Golden Halberd' in her hand is an extraordinary weapon blessed by divine magic. Other nuns don't have such powerful things, but there is no need. Whether it is an ordinary sword or a bolt gun, it is enough. . Instead, it was the Sister's holy golden halberd, which caused serious damage.
Compared to the weapons in their hands, their defensive capabilities are equally disappointing.
After they started charging, their bodies were completely exposed, and they naturally suffered concentrated fire from the armed workers.
However, the ability level of the armed workers is not very good, and the sisters of Holy Mercy Lily are fast and flexible. When the two are superimposed, the hit rate plummets.
Even if they were hit, the power armor on them would be of no use.
The Holy Mercy Lilies were unstoppable, charging and firing their bolt guns.
At the same time, the governor's soldiers behind them also stepped up their firepower projection, acting as cover to suppress the opponent and cause casualties by the way.
The nuns successfully rushed into the enemy formation and began to eliminate those enemies at close range.
Their target is of course not the ordinary armed workers, but the blue-robed cultists who function as 'artillery' and project the entities of the armed workers as cannonballs.
Their appearance brought a devastating blow to the enemy. Whenever a Battle Sister approaches a position, the bunker loses its role as a cover, and the bolter can destroy a group of enemies entrenched there. Even close enough, the blade in your hand becomes a more effective weapon than bullets.
However, killing those enemies has never been the biggest problem faced by the nuns.
Exploding corpses are.
Even the nuns in power armor don't want to eat a magic bomb at close range.
The nuns have the ability to counteract spellcasting, but firstly, they have to be relatively close to the caster; secondly, the explosion of corpses does not seem to be a process of spellcasting. In other words, the spell-casting process has already been completed, and it only lacks a means to detonate it. It was a very weak movement and not easy to suppress.
The nuns can only counter-cast spells, rather than disabling all supernatural powers in an area. There is an essential difference between the two.
If the shock wave of the magic bomb explodes too close, the power armor will be damaged; if it is hit twice more, cracks may appear, resulting in a decrease in defensive performance and casualties.
Therefore, after they kill someone at close range, they will quickly distance themselves to avoid being bombed. As long as the distance is further away and the power of the shock wave is weakened, the damage will be within the tolerable range.
Even for this reason, they might just get close enough to kill the blue-robed cultists, and then just leave the armed workers who would be used as corpse bombs alone, or wait until they were further away before dealing with them.
Just armed workers who explode when they die are not a problem, those blue-robed cultists are.
