Chapter 165, Death of the Overseer (6k, please subscribe!)
Kuangya was a little surprised.
He didn't expect those shrimps to actually dare to charge.
In fact, the shrimps I met along the way were all quite brave, and almost all of them were able to fight them to the death with huge casualties. It's a pity that his ability is a little weak, otherwise the killing would be more enjoyable.
But even so, those brave soldiers are doing their best to avoid close combat with them. Instead, they hope to delay layer by layer and use long-range firepower to reduce their numbers, hoping to use more numerical advantages to persist until the end. The time of final victory.
This was the first time they encountered Xiami who dared to charge them.
Quite interesting.
But Kuangya didn't think there was anything to worry about.
Maybe they have some special methods, but it doesn't matter, come on, I, the Kuangya Warlord, have nothing to fear!
He once again achieved great results with violent rockets and melt cannons. Then, during the fierce exchange of fire between the two sides, a shrimp rushed forward.
He took down the ax hanging from his back, and with just one sweeping slash, three shrimps were cut in half by him.
Then, another shrimp rushed over.
But the human soldiers who rushed towards his face were a little at a loss. Facing a steel giant that was nearly three meters tall, and it was no big deal if he blasted it with machine guns intensively, what could they do even if they rushed towards him? Can bullets penetrate armor at close range, or can a bayonet penetrate it?
However, the soldiers also have methods.
Kuangya saw that You Xiami had a bomb on him.
But it was meaningless. In front of him, there was not even a chance to set off the bomb. The little shrimp had obviously misjudged Kuangya's reaction and speed. The nearly three-meter-tall body moved like lightning. With just one kick, the human soldier's chest collapsed and he flew several meters away.
Then another soldier picked up the explosive package from his body and rushed over. He also pulled the fuse in advance, but this time he couldn't even get close and took a bullet six or seven meters away. The explosive pack that had been opened in advance exploded, but despite the heat wave and shock wave of several meters, Kuangya couldn't be helped, and even killed two human soldiers nearby.
In general, the charge of the human soldiers was tragic and tragic, but it seemed... meaningless.
Instead of killing a few more greenskins, the casualties became extremely heavy, as if they were dying in vain.
If this trend continues, it won't take long for everyone to die.
Kuang Ya thought the same way, and felt that the commander on the opposite side had lost his mind and was even stupider than the stupidest boy in the tribe.
As soon as he finished thinking this, he was hit hard.
Two blue beams of light were launched from the formation of human soldiers.
These two rays of light were definitely not ordinary attacks. His armor was directly penetrated, and two smoking holes appeared on his chest and head.
This was a real injury, especially the shot to the head, which made him feel heartbroken.
However, what the armor didn't protect against, his skull did.
His head was not perforated, but he could feel pain in his forehead and felt that his bones were cracking.
Hitting the chest a little more thoroughly hurts the respiratory system.
Even for him, these two blows must have been serious injuries.
Not fatal, but painful.
The damage to his respiratory system made him feel fishy when he breathed in; the fracture in his forehead made him feel dizzy.
In a daze, he saw two big shrimps wearing blood-red power armor, standing about seventy meters away from him. The fully charged light of the plasma guns in their hands was still shining. There was no time to calm down.
At the same time, there were two big guys wearing blood-red power armor who had already rushed to a position only ten meters away from him.
Why haven't I seen it before?
Such a large target, even if it is mixed among the charging human soldiers, is extremely conspicuous, and it is impossible to miss it as long as you have eyes.
However, at this moment, he had no time to think about the reason.
At close range, the two big guys had already raised their weapons.
The one rushing forward was wearing a black skull helmet and the weapon in his hand was a scepter. That was none other than Phoenix's chief priest, Nicola Rizzo!
He raised the head of his staff and hit Geni Kuangya on the head.
Caught off guard, Kuangya could only barely dodge back, and at the same time, he swung his battle ax vigorously and fought head-on with the chief priest.
Tie.
Injured and suddenly attacked, they were unable to fully exert their strength. In this confrontation, the two of them only put up a half-hearted effort. The gravity field scepter in Rizzo's hand broke Kuangya's blocking stance, but he himself also took two unbalanced steps back under the huge force.
But he wasn't the only one carrying out the raid.
Martins, who was holding a chain sword, followed closely behind and took this opportunity to slash him hard on the chest.
Kuangya's thick chest armor was cut to pieces by the chain saw.
The previous heavy blow from the charged plasma gun not only penetrated his chest armor and injured his lungs, but also made the chest armor more brittle.
Without this prerequisite, it would be difficult for the chain sword in Martins' hand to achieve such a good impact.
A huge wound appeared on his breastplate, and the green-skinned fishy blood spurted out from the wound.
But just when Martins was about to continue his efforts, and was about to try to use this knife to cut the orc warlord into two pieces from the chest, a huge force came from his waist.
Geni Kuangya kicked out Martins and kicked him away.
His physical strength was so powerful that with this kick, even a fully armed Space Marine was kicked several meters away and fell half to the ground.
At the same time, Kuangya twisted his body and tried to aim the melt cannon on his shoulder at Nicola Rizzo. The latter was currently being entangled by a murder jar rushing towards him from the side.
If this cannon is fired solidly, the melta cannon is powerful enough to kill the chief priest with one shot.
However, this did not materialize.
While trying to aim, he suddenly found that his body could not move. There was a magical force that formed a restraint, making his movements of twisting his body sluggish.
He reluctantly detonated the melta cannon, but he shot it into the sky, punching a big hole in the ceiling, exposing the upper level.
At this moment, the two space warriors in the distance also made moves. The plasma guns in their hands once again completed charging and hit the murder canister that was entangled with Rizzo.
The murder jars don't have the same level of resistance as their warlords. Their armor is far less thick than that of the Overseer. The plasma beam that passes through the armor suffers very little attenuation, and the green skin or grt body that is 'sewed' into the murder can has less strong forehead and chest. After being shot, there will be strong muscle contraction immediately to block the blood, and it will be difficult for the remaining organs to continue to function.
With two shots, the murder tank was finished and Rizzo was freed.
There were several green-skinned guys behind who tried to stop them, but the human soldiers who rushed up with the Space Marines heroically fought with them with their bayonets drawn. Although they were quickly slaughtered, more soldiers came up. They even overturned these greenskins, hitting them in the eyes with bullets and stabbing them in the neck and head with bayonets.
The sacrifices of these soldiers and the results they achieved completely liberated Rizzo once again.
He swung the hammer again, knocking over a murder canister that was trying to raise its machine cannon to bombard the crowd at close range. The gravity field scepter severely dented his chest armor.
Turning his head again, the old priest looked at Geni Kuangya and raised the gravity field scepter in his hand.
There are words in his mouth, and if you listen carefully, you will find that they are the contents of the Emperor's Holy Words. And this really made him become more determined, and the power of wielding weapons also became more powerful.
This hammer hit Kuangya's chest hard, completely smashing the breastplate that had been cut to pieces by the chain sword. By the way, it might have broken one or more of Kuangya's pieces. A rib.
Immediately afterwards, Martins followed, and the chain sword was ready to chop down again.
"Roar!"
When life and death were imminent, the orc warlord let out a deafening roar!
A strange force burst out from his body, first breaking through the power that imprisoned his body.
Gu Hang, who was hiding further away, groaned, blood gushing out from his mouth, nose and ears.
Previously, he was the one who used thought tampering to make the green-skinned warlord ignore the four Space Marines who were approaching with the infantry. The four phoenixes therefore got a very good opportunity to take the lead and successfully inflicted heavy losses on the orc warlord.
Then, after Gene Kuangya dealt with the first wave of attacks, when he tried to kill Rizzo with a shoulder-mounted melt cannon, it was he again who used advanced telekinesis to stop Kuangya's attack and let him go. Anti-aircraft guns.
But he did not do this without a price, and he felt very heavy pressure. When tampering with his thoughts, he could feel that there was a magical power in the head of this warlord, which kept his brain in a violent, yet still somewhat rational state. It was quite difficult to disrupt the thinking of such a brain, and it took him a lot of time.
It was precisely because of this that he had to delay the time for the Space Marines to accompany the charge, causing the lives of more ordinary soldiers to be lost at this intersection.
When controlling Kuang Ya's body through telekinesis, he felt like he was wrestling with a tank - no, after upgrading, his spiritual attribute reached twenty points, and he also gained more specialized advanced telekinesis control. , he even felt that he could overturn the Lion Tank in one breath. But with Kuang Ya, he could only barely restrain his movements.
This is also to be expected. It can be done to this extent and help the Space Marines to provide support.
Originally, Rizzo and Martins had successively achieved outstanding results in close combat, and when they saw that the terrifying armored beast was about to be killed, something went wrong.
What is this burst of power?
It's a lot like psychic energy, but it's violent, uncontrollable, and full of whimsical thoughts...
Is this the so-called waagh energy, waagh force field?
A kind of psychic power unique to the green-skinned orcs, a kind of idealistic power. Their technology that "I can do it if I think about it" essentially comes from this?
In the case of a powerful green-skinned individual like the Orc Fleet Overseer, this power can even be transformed into substance, strengthening his body and, in turn, providing powerful explosive capabilities at critical moments.
Gu Hang's spiritual energy that shrouded the orc warlord's body was destroyed by this energy, and it also caused serious backlash damage to him. However, Gu Hang didn't care about his injuries at all.
Seeing the burst of energy, the originally seriously injured greenskin became more energetic. He kicked Martins away again, and then used his big ax to fight Rizzo.
This time, Rizzo could no longer gain any advantage, and his body was tilted.
Kuangya was also unyielding when he was in advantage. He struck three ax heads in a row and knocked Pastor Rizzo to the ground. He didn't even frown when two more plasma rays hit him.
Rizzo, who had carried Kuangya's three axes, had his scepter knocked aside and was lying on the ground angrily.
Just when he raised the ax high and prepared to cut off the big red-skinned shrimp man's head again, Gu Hang's spiritual energy surged again and imprisoned his right arm.
Even though he was seriously injured, he still managed to do this. Of course, Gu Hang's injuries became more serious. More blood flowed from his mouth, nose and ears, and even his eyes were bleeding. .
But he still successfully restricted the movement of the orc warlord and saved the life of the old priest Rizzo.
At this moment, Martins, who was kicked away for the second time, rushed back again. He roared and slashed the chain sword towards the broken chest of the orc warlord again.
However, the chain sword was blocked by Kuangya's left arm.
His big steel-clawed hands held Martins' chain sword.
The chain saw made a squeaking sound, creating extremely brilliant sparks with Kuangya's steel claws, but the two of them were truly at a stalemate.
The situation was momentarily frozen.
Gu Hang already realized that something was wrong.
He could only control Kuangya's axe-holding arm, and he couldn't control it for a long time. Once he loses his strength here, the situation of the battle will immediately change.
There must be a further solution to the matter.
He had another trick: to further activate his psychic energy, give up control of Kuangya's axe-holding right arm, and instead control his steel claws to resist Martins. In this way, Martins will have the opportunity to slash the orc warlord's chest directly with his chainsword and kill him.
But as soon as he took away control of the axe, old Reverend Rizzo's head would fall off.
Do you want to do this?
Gu Hang knew that there was no room for hesitation and he had to make a decision immediately.
But before that happens, there's another variable.
With his psychic ability, he noticed that someone appeared in the hole that was opened in the ceiling when Kuangya used the melta cannon to knock him aside.
It was a human soldier, wearing the military uniform of the Governor's Legion of Angry Owls. Judging from the armband, he belonged to the 3rd Independent Regiment.
This battle outside the core engine power compartment should not involve the participation of the 3rd Independent Regiment. When mobilizing troops, time was too tight and there was no time to mobilize more troops.
The person's appearance here was obviously an accident, a coincidence.
But he might be able to deliver a big surprise.
……
After an entire company was wiped out, La Crocha, as the highest-ranking of the seven remaining men, became the temporary commander. He didn't know where to go, let alone where the company's original mission goal was.
He could only hold simple thoughts and take the remaining six people as far as possible to where the fighting was taking place, hoping to find decent officers, and then join forces with them to hand over the leadership responsibility that he had to shoulder.
But along the way, they encountered basically only completed battles, but no serious officers or survivors.
One of them looked like the most tragic battlefield, with piles of corpses.
They passed through and picked up several weapons.
La Crocha knew that the electromagnetic rifles in the hands of the elite Marines were much more powerful than their G9A assault rifles.
As for the original gun, I didn’t dare to throw it away. If you throw the gun away, you will be punished by military law. However, if you pick up a few more and take them back, you won’t be guilty, right?
And what they picked up was not just rifles. They also found two individual melta bombs on a dead Marine soldier with only half of his body left.
It's a good thing that I haven't seen before, but after a few fumbles, I roughly know how to operate it - although I can't guarantee that it will be right, after all, I don't dare to really try it.
Then, they continued to set off, and halfway, they heard more violent gunfire.
La Crocha set out there again with his men, vowing to hand over the command responsibility.
"As expected, I am only suitable to be a soldier, not an officer."
That's what he thought.
And the reason why this thought has become stronger is because even when he leads the team to the place where the battle is the fiercest, he can lead him the wrong way.
They arrived, but were embarrassed to find that the violent gunfire sounds seemed to come from beneath their feet.
The environment inside the starship is too complex. It's not like it's on the surface, with only one layer of ground. They arrived at a higher level, but now there was no one here. They wanted to go down to join the battle or find higher-level leaders, but they couldn't find them.
However, there is no unstoppable path. Just when he and his six men were trying to find a way down like headless flies, a red light cannon penetrated the ground not far away from bottom to top.
Hey, isn't there a place to go down here?
The metal structures there turned red, and the melta cannon was so powerful.
After a while, when the temperature was not so high, he cautiously approached the large hole, which was about one meter in diameter.
The hole wasn't that big at first, it only took a few seconds to melt into it.
He peered down through the hole and saw a Space Marine wearing red power armor and a skull-shaped helmet, lying at the feet of a huge steel green skin, and another Space Marine, who seemed to be planning to He slashed someone with his chainsword, but was blocked by a hand.
He recognized that the two Space Marines he saw were the Phoenix Chapter. Although I only took a look at the battlefield outside Garbage Town from a distance, the impression they left on people was too profound.
But even such space warriors are trapped in a bitter battle. How terrifying is that huge green giant?
However, that guy seems to have come to an end. One hand is holding the ax and it can't cut it down, the other hand is blocking the chain sword...
Looking at such a scene, La Crocia hesitated for a second, or two seconds.
Then he made a decision.
As expected, I am not suitable to be an officer, only a soldier.
And as a soldier, what should you do now?
He took out the individual melta bomb he had picked up before, tore off the sticky protective sheath on the back, opened the safety, and saw a countdown with red letters on it.
Then, holding the bomb in his arms, he jumped out of the hole and happened to be riding on the shoulders of the green-skinned orc.
Weighing only seventy or eighty kilograms, he fell on the green-skinned giant, but the green-skinned giant didn't move at all. But of course he didn't expect to kill him with just a slap on his butt. He just used quick eyes and quick hands to stick the individual hot melt bomb on the bloody chest of the green giant, and then he couldn't hold it steady and pulled it from his shoulder. It fell down and was smashed to pieces.
While he was dazed, he felt a huge force coming from the back of his neck. A big hand grabbed the back collar of his clothes and dragged him back. As the sky turned, he also saw what he had seen before. The Space Marine who fell at the feet of the green-skinned giant was dragged back by some invisible force.
Moments later, he heard an explosion.
Is this what a melta bomb sounds like when it explodes? First it stung, then there was a muffled sound, and then there was a grunt...
When the force behind his collar stopped, he ignored the pain on his back and half climbed up. Looking not far away, he saw that the steel giant had turned fiery red. His limbs and head were fine, but the originally destroyed armor on his chest seemed to have a red sun that continued to burn, shining outward.
The power of the melt bomb caused ultra-high temperatures and expanded outward. The steel armor on the Orc Warlord is one of the highest technological achievements of the Iron Teeth Clan, and it is not easy to melt, but the flesh and blood body inside is different.
In a moment, his chest and abdominal cavity were almost burned away.
His huge body twisted a few times in vain, and then completely stopped moving.
La Crocha looked at this scene, a little stunned.
Suddenly his vision was blocked, and a big shadow covered him.
Looking up, he saw the person who had just grabbed him by the collar and ran back - the space warrior holding a chain sword.
The Space Marine touched his head with his big hand and said, "You are a hero. Can you tell me what you were thinking before you jumped down?"
"Uh..."
LaCrocha still hadn't recovered his senses, and he didn't know how to answer this question.
The moment before you jump? He didn't think about anything, but it wasn't like his mind was blank. If I had to give an answer, it would be that when he was sitting in the transport spacecraft, staring back at his hometown Angry Star in the starry sky, and on the Quintet, sleeping in an extremely narrow and closed cabin, he was always thinking wildly. That meaningless question:
"I'm thinking about the value of life."
He answered the Space Marines' questions very seriously.

This chapter is six thousand words long.
It’s an extra update today!
In addition, although I update a stable 4,000 words every day, scheduled at 11 noon, I do not save the manuscript. I stayed up late the night before to write the manuscript. It was half past four when I finished writing this chapter.
If you don’t save the manuscript, you really have to vomit blood...Write more on weekends and try to avoid this situation.
I’ll post it on time first, and I’ll correct it after I get up if I’ve made typos...
