Chapter 206: The King of Soldiers Can Do It
A rich green light suddenly shone out from the surface of the bronze bell.
A green ball of light, surrounded by what seemed to be many mosquitoes and flies, flew towards Pastor Rizzo with a long tail.
The flying speed of the light ball was not very fast, and Pastor Rizzo tried to dodge.
However, that thing had a tracking effect and also drew a track in the air and followed Rizzo.
Lakrosa, who was behind, noticed this situation. He raised his hand and fired a shot from his charged laser gun at the evil energy ball with a strange trajectory.
Accurate hits are useless.
The red energy laser was swallowed by the light ball, but the evil power in it was not affected too much.
With no way to avoid it, Rizzo could only raise the scepter in his hand and attack the evil power.
On the scepter, the gravity field was activated, and the holy emblem held in the other hand released a fierce golden light.
Then he hit it with a hammer.
That ball of evil energy was shattered by just one blow!
But at the same time, the holy emblem in Rizzo's hand also shattered.
Gowaga laughed innocently.
Although this did not kill the annoying priest, destroying the holy emblem was crucial.
This priest was a bit strange, and the holy emblem in his hand that carried the power of the Pseudo-Emperor was even stranger. It could actually continue to dispel the influence of the Chaos Abyss and weaken his power.
Now, the holy emblem is broken, so it can’t be dispelled.
He immediately felt that his strength was increasing and recovering.
However, he just laughed twice and immediately stopped laughing.
It was true that the holy emblem was broken, but cracks suddenly appeared on the bronze bell in his left hand, and then it broke into three pieces.
His bronze bell was a gift from his loving father. Although what was here was not the real body of the loving father's divine weapon, but only a projection of the source of power. But if it was broken immediately, he would have no use for it now.
Without the help of this artifact, Gowaga's summoning of the power of the Chaos Abyss will be weakened.
After all this, I didn't make any money at all, and I even suffered a small loss.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Martins once again blocked his heavy sword attack and came in front of him. The power sword viciously cut a big gash in his arm.
Behind Martins and Rizzo, the other two battle brothers were also busy. They knew that it was not enough to rely solely on the firepower output of the bolter to fight against the Great Unclean One, so they also brought plasma pistols.
A single shot from a fully charged plasma pistol is more powerful than a heavy bomb.
However, the Great Unclean One, who seemed to be completely exposed with skin and no external armor protection, did not suffer too serious injuries. Only two holes about the thickness of a human thigh were pierced.
It seems like a big injury, but for a big unclean being that is six meters tall, and may be more than six meters wide and thick, and is known for its strong vitality, such injury is not serious.
Even as the flesh and blood squirmed, the seemingly horrific penetrating burns were quickly filled up again.
Of course, it still hurt. Gowaga's powerful sword was deflected because of this. Martins found another opportunity and stabbed him twice with the power sword.
Power weapons are essentially strong metal blades with a decomposition field attached, making them nearly indestructible. With one strike, even the body of a Great Unclean One would be cut like butter by a hot knife, leaving a large wound.
With the vitality and recovery ability of the Great Unclean One, these were not fatal. However, it took strength to heal the wound, and the foul-smelling blood and pus that splashed out after the wound was opened also represented the loss of strength.
All these are making this terrible demon weaker.
If Gowaga hadn't been very careful to protect it and didn't give Martins too many opportunities to directly threaten his arm, he would probably be in more trouble. He is not in his prime, and if he broke his arm like he did back then, it would be even more troublesome if he fought again.
After he got his rhythm back, he relied on a heavy sword, his super strong ability to withstand attacks, and the swarm of plague flies that emerged from his body. In short, he fought back and forth with the four phoenixes, and for a while, neither of them could do anything to the other.
The battle came to a standstill for a moment.
But Lacroxia, who was a little behind, felt a little anxious.
In his opinion, the current balance of this battle is extremely fragile.
The reason was simple, the Space Marines had always lacked a lethal means to fight the Plague Demon. It looked like a lively fight, with gravity scepters, power swords, plasma weapons, explosive bombs... rumbling down on the huge monster, but after a long time, the wounds were not life-threatening at all, and those injuries that would be extremely terrible and fatal to ordinary people were slowly healing.
On the contrary, it seems that the big demon has not been able to complete even one effective attack yet, but as long as it succeeds once, if Martins or any other Space Marine is a little careless and fails to guard against it, or if the big demon takes some unexpected measures, it will be over.
If the rusty giant sword, which is at least three meters long, hits directly, no power armor will be able to work and the person will surely die; even Martins' "Justice Type" Terminator may not be able to withstand it.
Once that happens, the balance of the battle will be tipped.
But what can he do?
Together with him, there were nine teams of more than forty elite special warfare soldiers who followed the Space Marines into the underground space; the others were guarding the retreat route above, ready to provide support at any time.
The most they could do now was to use the firepower in their hands to help a little and kill the swarms of flies that were "secreted" from the big demon.
It's not that they didn't try to use stronger firepower against the big demon and assist the Space Marines in attacking it.
But the results were minimal.
There were nine rocket launchers brought down, and each fired three rounds in a row, but the power was only slightly better than a single heavy explosive shell. Martins's volley of heavy explosive shells didn't do anything, let alone a rocket launcher that could only fire one round at a time.
Instead of wasting heavy firepower like this, it is better to use it to deal with ordinary demons.
As for the laser rifle in his hand, it was even weaker.
Otherwise, the enemies of the Empire sometimes jokingly call it a "flashlight".
Although it was Xiao Heizi who spoke, when facing the big demon, no matter whether it is charged or overloaded, a laser beam will be no different from a flashlight - it just illuminates.
Moreover, they had to allocate a considerable amount of firepower to the abyss rift which was still slowly expanding.
There were all kinds of plague demons constantly popping up, but fortunately, when they arrived, the enemy's number had not yet reached a large scale, so now it was just a crack two or three meters long. They fired at that place, and every demon that came out was killed.
However, even so, Lacroxia still felt there were hidden dangers.
As the abyss rift gradually expanded, he found that the damage their firepower caused to those demons seemed to be decreasing.
This is actually caused by the gradual erosion of the real world by the power of the chaotic abyss.
Demons are conceptual monsters. When the chaos corrosion in a certain place is too high, not only can the demons draw more powerful power from it, but the laws of the chaos abyss will also replace the physical laws of the real world. The power of guns, lasers, and artillery based on the laws of physics will decrease. On the contrary, all close combat methods that symbolize human courage will comply with this law and will not be affected too much.
But let humans fight the plague demon with their flesh and blood...
Of course, Lacroxia didn't understand the reasoning behind this. He just realized that it would take three or four shots to kill a demon, but now it would take four or five shots.
And when the difficulty of killing increases further, their firepower may not be able to ensure that all the demons emerging from the crack can be killed in time.
If a few Plague Bearers or Father Beasts came out and entangled the Space Marines for a while or two, creating a good attack opportunity for the terrible demon, the current balance would collapse in an instant.
Lacroxia made up his mind that he had to do something.
He started to take action.
He first set his sights on the big unclean one, and he had a hot melt bomb in his hand.
But this time, his action failed.
The Plague Demon's combat awareness was still very sharp. He noticed Lacrosha's actions, recognized that he was holding a high-threat weapon, and pointed his head at him and spat a ball of thick phlegm.
If Lacrosse had not been upgraded by Gu Hang and had not possessed superhuman physical fitness and reaction speed, he would have been in real trouble.
He dodged quickly and saw a large hole corroded by the ground, with a plague spirit crawling out of it.
He raised the bolter in his hand - his physical fitness was enough to support the use of the bolter to make up for the problem of insufficient instantaneous firepower of laser weapons - and blew it up, then gave up his original plan at the call of Martins.
What Martins meant was that it was very dangerous for him to do this, and even if he really used a hot-melt bomb, he would not be able to kill this big demon.
The Great Unclean One is not an orc commander, so once the melta bomb is dropped on him, at most it will burn off a small part of his body, which is also not fatal.
But despite Lacroxia's advice, he still didn't intend to stop.
It may not be very effective for blasting large unclean things, but it seems to be possible to use it to blast other things.
He then set his sights on the demon engine behind the Great Unclean One.
That demon engine is connected to the supernatural power drawn from the spiritual gas field at the bottom and the abyss rift at the top, serving as the source of power for the outward expansion of the Chaos Abyss.
If it can be destroyed, it should be able to change the situation of the war.
He led a combat team and circumvented the battlefield from the flank, with other soldiers providing covering fire to assist them in doing so.
Martins and four other Space Marines also noticed his actions.
This was a smart move, so they also launched corresponding coordinated actions. Martins and Rizzo began to launch more fierce and even relatively risky attacks, mainly to attract Govaga's attention and prevent this terrible monster from diverting its attention to the action team that was circling behind the big demon.
The Great Unclean One would not be diverted so easily, but he had no other choice.
It needs to be emphasized again that he was not at his peak strength, and even had only one percent of his peak strength. Otherwise, he would have killed everyone at the scene long ago. After being dragged, he even had difficulty turning his huge body in this narrow terrain.
If he really did that, Martins would use his power sword like a madman and stab him dozens of times in a short period of time, and he would definitely kill him.
All he could do was to release more plague flies to harass the action team while dealing with the Space Marines. Moreover, he would turn his head and spit at the team from time to time.
His actions were effective.
In a short while, at least three elite special forces soldiers were killed.
One was surrounded by several giant flies that were too late to be driven away by firepower. Their sharp mouthparts pierced his exoskeleton armor and injected venom into him, causing him to soon become ill and die. The other two were hit by the saliva of the Great Unclean One, and their bodies dissolved into a pool of rotten water.
After paying a considerable price, the combat team led by Lacroxia finally succeeded in approaching their mission target.
Next, all we have to do is place the melta bombs on top...
"Siu!"
There was a loud bang, something heavy was approaching!
At the last moment, the Great Unclean One actually ignored the fierce attack of the Space Marines, turned half sideways, and made a terrifying sweep at them with its rusty giant sword!
At the critical moment, Lacroxia tried his best to dodge and he escaped, but the other two were not so lucky and did not have his level of skills, so they were cut in half by the sword.
Of course, the Great Unclean One only had this chance to strike with the sword. He would immediately turn back to deal with the fierce attack from Martins and others.
But this sword was also a clear warning. When threatened, he would not hesitate to strike.
Immediately afterwards, many flies and insects flew out and headed towards Lacrosse, determined to force it away from the demon engine.
Since Lakrosa was about to get behind the Great Unclean One to reach the Demon Engine, when a dozen plague flies attacked, the shooting lines of other teammates were blocked by Govaga's huge body. For a moment, he could only rely on himself to solve the problem.
Although he was not killed thanks to his excellent skills and the rapid-fire grenade launcher in his hand, he was inevitably forced back in another direction.
But at this moment, he threw out the hot melt bomb in his hand in the midst of his busy schedule.
It definitely can't be thrown onto that demon engine. It's too far away and can be easily intercepted.
But in this space, there is another important target that is optional: the shield generator.
When the Great Unclean One swung his heavy sword, he dodged by deliberately running away from the demon engine but close to the shield generator; the same thing happened when he was chased by the plague fly swarm later.
Before he knew it, he was less than a hundred meters away from the shield generator.
He threw the activated thermal bomb far away like a grenade.
This is not easy. The melta bomb is not designed to be a throwing weapon, and it is larger than a grenade, making it inconvenient to throw. It is also difficult to accurately land it on the shield generator from such a long distance.
But the King of Soldiers can do it.
