Chapter 109: Explode me!
"Blow me up hard! I will bear any responsibility! What the hell are you afraid of accidental injury? How can the Governor's ability be accidentally injured by you guys? I don't know if it's a bear or a bear for such a big Fengqiang. What kind of thing is there, you can’t blow it up! Explode it!”
Just as Gu Hang thought, Purbov was jumping to his feet and cursing angrily at this moment.
The reason why he jumped was because a piece of construction debris as big as a fist had just hit his calf bone. It didn't break, but I couldn't exert any more strength.
But he was still angry, still irritable.
Not being able to help or exert any strength was what annoyed him the most.
Ever since the ambush in the alien forest, Purbeuf has always considered it a shame for the Governor to go to the battlefield in person and face the enemy in person.
The governor came from outside the sky, bringing steel, machinery, and weapons. And these warriors and soldiers should solve all threats for the governor, instead of letting the governor be both father and mother.
We have to take care of both development and war, so forget it. The governor has to go to battle to kill the enemy, so what on earth are we going to eat?
At this moment, he must do something.
He's angry, he's fierce, maybe even a little reckless. But he also has the unique cunning and cleverness of the Wastelanders. Even if he makes a reckless decision, when he really does it, he will not cover his head regardless of anything.
How does Purbov know about psychic powers, sorcery, and sacrificial rituals?
But he had an idea, there is nothing in this world that cannot be blown up. If so, it must be that the caliber is not enough.
In the past, my battalion only had 60mm mortars, but now it has 155 howitzers. It doesn’t matter if it’s useful or not, let’s do a fucking round first!
This was the source of the whistling sound of cannonballs that Gu Hang heard.
There were actually only five heavy artillery pieces in Purbov's hands, and mortars were used to make up the rest.
But it does work wonders!
The bolters of the Space Marines are said to have special diamond warheads, secondary acceleration, and proximity explosion functions. Their power is off the charts... But no matter how powerful it is, the caliber is here.
What is the 155 howitzer? The cannonball alone is 0.8 meters long when standing on the ground and weighs nearly 50 kilograms. For such a big guy, it is absolutely shocking to feel his explosion up close.
Two cannonballs exploded high on the incarnation of the angry owl.
The monster that had just shot away a space warrior and was about to continue ravaging the phoenix had two huge holes blown out of its body. Half of the body, which was essentially composed of solid psychic power, disintegrated in one fell swoop.
Although a lot of energy is being re-gathered to re-repair its body, this also significantly affects its strength.
There were three other cannonballs that landed on the 360-degree wind wall.
The wind wall, which had already been shaken by Gu Hang's hole from the inside and stabbed by the gravity scepter and the holy gold halberd, was completely unable to withstand the blow and suddenly shattered.
The killing radius of the 155 howitzer may be dozens of meters. If it hits the ground, it can create a large crater with a diameter of five meters.
Gu Hang and his group were obviously within this killing range. From this perspective, Purbov's claim that he is not worried about accidental injuries is pure nonsense.
In fact, Gu Hang, the other two phoenixes, and the seven nuns who are still alive may be better, because they are farther away. Martins, Rizzo, and Gerrit were already attacking the wind wall with more powerful melee weapons. Of course, they were closer to the core of the bombing.
But the wind wall provided them with protection at this time.
The destroyed wind wall absorbed most of the force of the shock wave, and some of the scattered shrapnel was also weakened a lot. The three people nearby were protected by power armor and were not seriously injured. Lying on the ground in a plank-like manner also allowed them to avoid a lot of shrapnel and shock waves.
At least, after the explosion, the three of them were able to stand up without being too affected.
Since they don't have much trouble, neither will Tricao inside. For a psyker of his strength, the storm shield surrounding his body would not be any worse than power armor before his psychic power decayed.
However, he could not avoid being disgraced.
For him, the fatal problem was that the wind wall was broken.
Obviously, although the Wind Wall thing was Cui Kao's handiwork, he must have spent a long time in advance to prepare it and borrowed many other powers that were not his own. Otherwise, no matter how powerful a psyker he is, the defensive measures built purely on his own energy will not be able to withstand such a terrible blow for such a long time.
This also means that after the wind wall is destroyed, even if he wants to build a new one, it will be impossible unless he has half a month to slowly build it.
After there is finally no obstacle, the Phoenix and the Battle Sisters can go up and take revenge.
Tricao was still struggling.
He shot a bolt of lightning and hit Martins, who was the fastest.
But this time, the chapter leader, who was well prepared and experienced in combat, would not be hit as easily as the nun before. In the smoke and hazy vision, he still accurately judged Cui Kao's intention, and evaded it just before the lightning spell was launched.
The lightning flew away, and Martins rushed close, and the chain sword slashed hard on the storm shield.
The storm shield was not broken immediately, but a very powerful characteristic of the chainsword was that its power exceeded the first slash, as long as the holding space warrior continued to strike downwards. If the force is applied, the rotating chain saw will continue to make terrible cuts. This is the power that can cut through heavy armor!
In just one second, the storm shield on his body was flickering on and off crazily, showing signs of rupture.
In desperation, Trikao fired another bolt of lightning.
He knew that there was no point in resisting by purely using spiritual energy to strengthen the shield. As long as Martins doesn't die, he has no chance of survival at close range.
However, although this lightning spell successfully hit, it did not interrupt Martins' actions at all.
Martins still observed and judged the high priest's intentions in advance. It was difficult for him to dodge, but he could adjust his body shape slightly so that the lightning would hit his huge shoulder armor.
The strongest part of a Space Marine's armor is definitely the shoulder armor. The use of shoulder armor to absorb excessive damage is optional in their combat skills. Many times, they will use their shoulders as shields.
The lightning that could penetrate and kill the Battle Sisters could not penetrate Martins' thick shoulder armor.
At this moment, Rizzo arrived.
The priest's scepter swung down with all its strength, and the storm shield, which was already on the verge of destruction, shattered. The scepter, which turned on the gravity generator, hit Cui Kao's body with unabated force.
The physical strength of a psyker is far behind. Under the effect of the gravity generator, Trikao's body was almost completely smashed.
Gritte, who arrived later, used the holy gold halberd to penetrate the old guy's head.
Based on her years of experience fighting against such enemies, annihilating the body does not always kill psykers. For some guys, the brain is the core. What's more, he can transcend his body and survive in a certain energy state, just like the lightning man before.
As the holy golden halberd penetrated the head, a ball of holy fire burned at the same time, completely incinerating Tricao's sinful face.
Gritte's nose twitched and she smelled it. This powerful psyker was indeed dead.
However, the matter is not resolved.
Gu Hang first sent a message to Purbov in the rear:
"No need to blow up the second round, it almost killed me."
Upon hearing this, Perbov's expression suddenly stiffened.
However, Gu Hang's last sentence made him relax again: "But well done."
The smile returned to Purbeuf's face.
I just told you to be more decisive in killing!
Eh? No, when the Governor said you did a good job, wouldn't that be irony? 'You almost blew me up, you did a great job. ’ What does this mean?
At this time, Gu Hang no longer had the energy to care about Purbov's mentality.
He raised his head and looked at the slowly reorganizing incarnation of the Raging Storm Owl, as well as the storm that never stopped.
This fits his previous conjecture: killing Cui Kao is not the key.
In other words, they killed him too late.
When they arrived here, the entire ceremony had already entered the completion stage. Even, in a sense, what Cui Kao did later was that he didn't take his own life and death seriously. For a fanatical believer like him, he had completed his mission, and the rest was just a matter of going crazy before dying and doing whatever he could.
However, the big mess he left behind was Gu Hang's biggest headache.
The storm cannot continue.
A long-lasting typhoon, heavy rains with exaggerated rainfall, frequent lightning strikes... this will destroy Fuxing City.
Just the current intensity of the storm is already a natural disaster. Not to mention, the wind and rain are getting stronger and stronger, and thunder and lightning are becoming more and more frequent. At this moment, Gu Hang had already observed that several trees around him had been struck by lightning.
I can’t even imagine what it would be like in the city.
He didn't know how far the storm would continue to intensify, but he didn't want to see it at all.
Now this reorganizing monster needs to be solved, and the completed ritual of sacrificing the city with storms needs to be solved even more.
The calm-looking Governor carefully observed all the spiritual energy dynamics around him, hoping to find a solution.
At the same time, he also hopes to get help from Garrett and Rizzo to see if these two more experienced people can have any ideas in this regard.
