Chapter 154, Death of a Space Marine
Of course, there are strong and weak Space Marines.
In addition to the different configurations of hardware models such as weapons and power armor models, individual strength cannot be ignored.
It is not a problem for an old soldier to fight two or three recruits at the same time; the company champion is the strongest among the hundreds of soldiers.
Martins and Schneider are both.
Of course, in theory, the strongest person in a chapter should be the chapter champion or the chapter leader, but Martins was temporarily promoted after the chapter was almost destroyed. His true strength is only at the level of a company champion.
But even so, with his level, he has a chance to fight against an orc warrior.
If it were a warrior who controlled an entire planet, that might be difficult; but the current one is far from that level.
Moreover, his armor looks fierce, but it should not be as powerful as the Terminator-type armor among Space Marines.
The problem now is to create an opportunity for a one-on-one fight.
This is difficult, but not impossible.
A lot of greenskins poured in at once, and the entrance became very crowded. The orc warrior, with his mechanically modified armor, was only slightly smaller than the killing tank, and he was very crowded in the underground entrance. In front of him and behind him, there were killing tanks coming in.
The Space Marines and Stormtroopers were already firing at full speed.
There is no need to worry too much about whether you can hit the target or not, because the entrance is blocked by greenskins. Even if you are a blind man, you can accurately hit the enemy by pointing your gun and firing in the direction where they are howling.
However, as a result of this consumption, many greenskins died, but their ammunition was also used up quickly.
In particular, after the green guys in the front were almost dead, they were faced with killing tanks that almost blocked the entrance and had to bend their mechanical knees and move forward slowly and clumsily.
To get in, the killing jars had to force their way in. Their bodies were only slightly smaller than the height and width of the entrance, so they could get in, but they couldn't move their hands and feet at all.
Especially since there are many green-skinned guys following it. If it raises the multi-barreled machine gun in its hand and fires forward, it is hard to say how many human soldiers it can kill. Anyway, few of the greenskins standing in front of it will survive.
But... are greenskins the kind of race that cares about this kind of thing?
The first to fire was not even the crowded killing can, but the tearing meat. He struggled to find a gap behind the killing can to squeeze the big gun out, and then fired in front.
The killing jar was squeezed and shot by the grenade launcher, and it went crazy under the stimulation, and the multi-barreled muskets also opened fire.
Under the powerful firepower, both the Space Marines and the elite Stormtroopers were beaten so hard that they could not even show their heads.
It was too close. Even if it was a power armor helmet, if it was hit continuously by a large-caliber machine gun at a distance of 20 to 30 meters, it would be blown in the head.
They can only shrink.
Fortunately, the bunker made of various metal scraps, ruins and rocks is not so easy to destroy.
But despite this, they eventually chose to abandon this position.
The killing tank struggled to get to where they were previously, and pushed away some obstacles with force, giving it a little space to move around.
However, the next moment, a violent explosion occurred on the spot!
A strong red flame was emitted, and the killing jar suddenly became unable to move.
Ordinary explosives, of course, are not so easy to destroy a killing tank. But if it is a hot melt bomb commonly used by space marines, it is another matter.
The metal body of the killing tank was blown into two pieces by a hot-melt bomb that was mounted next to an obstacle and hidden so as not to be easily discovered.
The extremely high temperature that rose in an instant was too much for even the armor metal to withstand. In an instant, the armor plates began to melt and break.
If the thermite bomb were bigger, it would not be impossible to melt this killing tank into molten iron.
Of course, that would be a bit too much power. The current level is enough to cause its destruction. Not only did the armored body lose the ability to continue fighting, but the fart spirit inside, with its limbs cut off and a tube connected to its brain, would have been scalded to death long ago.
This miniature hot melt bomb was one of the few remaining supplies in the regiment. There were still some similar disposable equipment, but they were becoming less and less with each use, and there was no place to replenish them in this hellhole of a place called the Wrathful Owl Star.
However, the Space Marines had no time to feel heartbroken.
This is when high-value equipment comes into play.
And to put it bluntly, the most precious thing in the Phoenix Regiment now is the lives of the soldiers.
They counted the time silently in their hearts.
The extremely high temperature brought by the melta bomb would not last long. Under the rapid decay, the Space Marines knew that after 6.72 seconds, the temperature would not be able to penetrate their power armor and cause any harm.
And this is the moment for them to take action.
Five Space Marines attacked at the same time.
The three of them stood still, and the grenade launchers in their hands had already changed from the precise single-shot mode to the full-speed shooting mode. The last fully loaded magazine that was replaced in advance poured out countless explosive bullets in a very short time.
Almost all of these bombs flew over the destroyed killing tank and hit the orc warrior behind.
In addition to the three of them, Schneider was in front and Martins was a little to the side and rear. The two were once the company champions of the Phoenix Regiment and now had the strongest individual combat capabilities in the regiment. They rushed towards the orc warrior.
Their speed suddenly exploded to an extremely fast speed, and they charged towards the orc general following the explosive bomb.
Almost all the bombs hit the orc warrior.
Even the Space Marines' bolters could not penetrate the extremely heavy armor on his body, causing direct damage to the orc boss behind him. However, these were dozens or even hundreds of bolts, and when these diamond bullets clanged and hit his body extremely densely, he could still feel the obvious impact.
Not to mention, these bombs will cause secondary explosions, causing additional damage.
After nearly a hundred micro-explosions, no matter how fiercely the flesh is torn or how thick the armor is, one will inevitably feel dizzy and even unable to control the body and step back repeatedly.
But during this process, its body, which is much stronger than that of ordinary Space Marines, can still launch a counterattack at the most critical moment.
He struggled to raise the rifle in his hand and fired forward without aiming.
In a moment, about ten large-caliber bullets were fired.
Considering the caliber of this thing, its power is no less than the grenade launchers in the hands of Space Marines.
More importantly, even if he didn't aim, this narrow terrain was fair to everyone. The Space Marines were not small in size.
Two-thirds of these bullets still hit the target.
Schneider took four bullets, three of which were deflected by the thick, curved shoulder armor, but one still penetrated from the junction of the shoulder armor and the chest armor.
Of course there is armor there, but it is relatively weak, and the angle at which the bullet enters is also good.
This shot injured Schneider.
But his footsteps only paused, and then he continued to rush forward without slowing down at all.
Behind the two of them was the most unlucky battle brother, who was hit by two bullets in the helmet.
He groaned and fell to the ground. The three or four Storm Teams behind him tried to pull the fallen soldier back, but they were unsuccessful.
Even if they were strengthened to the T3 level, their physical strength far exceeded that of ordinary people, but with only three or four people, they still couldn't drag a fully-armed Space Marine.
At this moment, Martins and Schneider in front rushed to the front of the meat-tearing boss.
Schneider jumped slightly, raised his attack position, and stabbed the combat knife accurately into a gap at the junction of the orc warrior's armor.
It pierced through.
Schneider could hear the orc warrior letting out a low roar, obviously feeling pain, and his body was even knocked to the ground because of Schneider's sudden charge.
But this only aroused his viciousness.
His alloy-wrapped arm bent inward, and the muzzle of the machine gun mounted on his wrist was pointed at Schneider.
As long as he pulled the trigger again, the machine gun would fire countless bullets in an instant, hitting Schneider. By then, no matter how thick the power armor was, he would be seriously injured.
But at this moment, Martins arrived.
The chainsaw sword in his hand fiercely found a weak joint on the arm from the other side and chopped it down. The power of the chainsaw was turned to the maximum, and flames flew. He felt a huge resistance, but he gritted his teeth and pressed the chainsaw sword down with all his might.
A moment later, the hand holding the gun barrel was cut off.
Schneider was somewhat dissatisfied.
Martins did save him, but in his opinion, it was a wasted opportunity. If Martins had chosen a more deadly position, it would have been possible to kill this powerful enemy directly. Although he would pay the price of serious injury or even death for this, it was still worth it under the calculation of his cold fighting will.
However, Schneider did not say anything about it. Not because his life was saved, but because it was a battle, and a slight change in a split second could mean the difference between life and death.
The orc warrior only had one hand broken and was not dead yet.
Instead of a big gun, the guy still had a huge sword welded to his left hand.
The big knife suddenly slashed towards Schneider, and Schneider freed one hand, grabbed his arm and wrestled with it, while with the other hand he tightly grasped the short knife that was inserted into the armor and pulled it outward along with the force, trying to enlarge the wound and preferably touch the important organs.
At the same time, Martins, who had chopped off the orc warrior's hand, raised the chain saw again with blood all over his helmet. This time, Martins chose to target the flesh-tearing neck. There was a gap between the heavy helmet he was wearing and the breastplate, which was the best entry point.
However, although the entire battle process was extremely fast, it was somewhat delayed.
When the huge body of the orc warrior fell, the enemies who were originally blocked behind him had a shooting range to attack the two of them.
You can ignore the crude guns in the hands of some orc boys for now. Although the power of greenskin guns is generally very strong, it is unrealistic to want to injure the Space Marines with a few shots.
However, the weapon in the killing tank's hand is different.
The multi-barreled machine gun opened fire.
Schneider was shot several times, which affected his strength in strangling the greenskin warrior's arm. The big knife slashed his lower back from behind.
The ceramic steel armor plates were blown away and blood splattered everywhere.
The meat tearer was planning to pull out the big knife and make another attack to completely cut the can of shrimp in half.
But at this moment, the chainsaw sword in Martins' hand arrived.
The Phoenix Captain's rage was overwhelming, and all of it was vented on this sword.
As the flames burst out, the chainsaw cut open the gap between the helmet and the breastplate, and a huge amount of blood gushed out due to the movement of the chainsaw, like a fountain.
Just like he cut off the flesh-tearing forearm before, Martins also cut off the opponent's head this time.
Immediately afterwards, Martins didn't bother to check on Schneider's condition. He drew out his chainsword and rushed forward despite the firepower of the killing tank machine gun.
The killing jar looks slightly bigger than the Orc Warlord, and it also has a melee weapon that looks quite terrifying, but in fact, its armor strength and power output are no match for a proper Orc Warlord. In addition, its power cannot be fully utilized here, so its combat effectiveness is further compromised.
In his rage, Martins was actually injured by the machine gun, but he still tore the orc walker apart in no time.
At the same time, the other two Space Marines also rushed out, and the three began to frantically slaughter the orcs who lacked heavy equipment. In the narrow area, the three of them were like three efficient killing machines, and those green-skinned guys had no power to fight back under the chainsaw swords and combat blades.
The elite soldiers of the Storm Team behind wanted to help, but when they raised their guns they found it was unnecessary, as the greenskins they were aiming at would often be hacked to death the next moment.
Several people looked at each other and finally put down their weapons.
Forget it, it would be better to avoid accidental injuries.
But in fact, the Space Marines didn't kill many greenskins at the door.
After about twenty more of them died, the remaining orcs all ran away.
The orcs' morale is not always unlimited, especially after the death of their boss, their morale will collapse and they will flee.
The retreating greenskins were shouting something in a language as they ran. Although I couldn't quite understand it, I could probably guess that it was saying that their boss was dead.
Martins was panting, but he didn't lead anyone out.
He was angry, but still rational.
Here, they could kill countless greenskins by relying on the terrain. Outside, in the open area, they couldn't face dozens of killing tanks and armored trucks to annihilate thousands of greenskins.
They had no choice but to retreat, dragging Schneider and the Space Marine with the bullet in the head to safety.
At this moment, there was a noisy sound coming from outside.
Having lost their strongest leader, the greenskins, as expected, used their traditional skills and started infighting.
