Chapter 109, blow it up for me!
"Bomb it hard for me! I will take any responsibility! Why are you afraid of accidental injuries? How can the Governor be injured by you guys? Such a big wind wall and such a big thing, I don't know if it's a bear or something, are right there, and you can't blow it up accurately? Bomb it! Bomb it for me!"
Just as Gu Hang thought, Perbov was indeed jumping up and down and cursing at this moment.
The reason he jumped up and down was because a fist-sized piece of building debris had just hit his shin bone. It wasn't broken, but he couldn't use any strength.
But he was still angry and still irritable.
What annoys him most is that he can't help or contribute.
Ever since the ambush in the alien woodland, Perbov has always regarded it as a shame that the Governor-General had to go to the battlefield in person and face the enemy in person.
The Governor came from outer space, bringing with him steel, machinery, and weapons. As warriors and soldiers, they should solve all threats for the Governor, instead of letting the Governor act as both father and mother.
It would be fine if we had to manage both development and war. But if the governor had to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, then what on earth would we do?
At this moment, he must do something.
He is angry, fierce, and perhaps even a little reckless. But he also has the cunning and cleverness that is unique to wastelanders. Even if he makes a reckless decision, he will not just ignore everything when he really does it.
There was no way Perbov understood psychic powers, sorcery, or sacrificial rituals.
But he had a thought: there is nothing in this world that cannot be killed by bombs. If there is, it must be that the caliber is not enough.
In the past, my battalion only had 60mm mortars, but now we have 155mm howitzers. No matter if it's useful or not, I'll just fire a round at it first!
This was the source of the whistling sound of artillery shells that Gu Hang heard.
In fact, Perbov only had five heavy artillery pieces in total, and the rest were mortars to make up the number.
But it really worked wonders!
The Space Marines' bolters are said to have special diamond warheads, secondary acceleration, and proximity explosion functions, and they are extremely powerful... but no matter how powerful they are, the caliber is still there.
What is a 155mm howitzer? The shell alone is 0.8 meters tall and weighs nearly 50 kilograms. It is absolutely shocking to feel the explosion of such a big thing up close.
Two shells exploded high above the incarnation of the Angry Owl.
The monster that had just slapped a Space Marine away and was about to continue to ravage the Phoenix had two huge holes blown out of its body. Its body, which was essentially made of condensed psychic energy, was instantly disintegrated in half.
Although a lot of energy was being gathered again to repair its body, it also significantly affected its strength.
And three other shells landed on the 360-degree wind wall.
The wind wall, which had already been in turmoil due to a hole in it from Gu Hang and was stabbed by the gravity scepter and the holy gold halberd, could no longer withstand this kind of blow and suddenly shattered.
The killing radius of the 155mm howitzer is probably several dozen meters. If it hits the ground, it can create a crater with a diameter of five meters.
Gu Hang and his gang were obviously all within this killing range. From this point of view, Perbov's claim of not worrying about accidental injuries was pure nonsense.
In fact, Gu Hang, the other two Phoenixes, and the seven surviving nuns were probably better off because they were farther away. Martins, Rizzo, and Grit were already using more powerful melee weapons to attack the wind wall, so they were of course 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 shock wave's power, and the shrapnel that flew out was also weakened a lot. The three people nearby were all protected by power armor and were not seriously injured. Lying on the ground in a similar way to plank support 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 and were not seriously affected.
Since they were fine, neither was Trikao inside. A psychic of his strength, the storm shield surrounding him would not be any weaker than a power armor before his psychic power decayed.
But he couldn't avoid being covered in dust.
But the fatal problem for him was that the wind wall was broken.
Obviously, although the wind wall was created by Trikao, he must have spent a long time preparing it in advance, borrowing a lot of other powers that did not belong to him. Otherwise, even if he was a powerful psychic, the defense measures built purely by his own energy would not be able to withstand such a long and terrible attack.
This also means that after the wind wall was destroyed, even if he wanted to build a new one himself, it would be impossible unless he had half a month to slowly build it.
And now that there are finally no more obstacles, the Phoenix and the Battle Sisters can go up and take revenge.
Trikao was still struggling.
He shot out a bolt of lightning, hitting Martins, who was running the fastest.
But this time, the warband leader, who was well prepared and experienced in combat, would not be hit as easily as the nun before. In the smoke, with a hazy vision, he still judged Trikao's intention and evaded the lightning spell the moment it was launched.
The lightning shot away, and Martins rushed close, slashing the storm shield hard with the chainsword.
The storm shield was not broken immediately, but the chainsaw sword had a very powerful feature: its power extended beyond the first slash. As long as the Space Marine holding it continued to exert force downward, the rotating chainsaw would continue to make terrible cuts.
This is enough power to cut through heavy armor!
In just one second, the storm shield on his body was flickering wildly and showed signs of cracking.
In a hurry, Cui Kao fired another bolt of lightning.
He knew that it was meaningless to just use psychic energy to strengthen the shield and resist. As long as Martins was not dead, he had no chance of survival at close range.
However, although this lightning spell successfully hit the target, it did not interrupt Martins' actions at all.
Martins still observed and judged the high priest's intention in advance. It was difficult for him to dodge, but he could slightly adjust his body shape so that the lightning would hit his huge shoulder armor.
The strongest part of a Space Marine's armor is definitely the shoulder armor. In their combat techniques, using shoulder armor to withstand excessive damage is an option. In many cases, they will use their shoulders as shields.
The lightning that could penetrate and kill a battle sister could not penetrate Martins' heavy shoulder armor.
At this moment, Rizzo arrived.
The priest swung his staff with all his strength, and the storm shield, which was already on the verge of destruction, was shattered directly. The staff with the gravity generator turned on continued to smash into Trikao's body.
The physical strength of a psychic is far from enough. Under the effect of the gravity generator, Trikao's body was almost completely smashed.
Grit arrived later and pierced the old man's head with the holy gold halberd.
Based on her many years of experience fighting this kind of enemies, destroying the body does not always kill the psychic. For some guys, the brain is the core. Even worse, some can transcend the body and survive in a certain energy state, just like the lightning man before.
At the same time as the holy golden halberd pierced through the head, a ball of holy fire also burned at the same time, completely burning Cui Kao's sinful face.
Grit sniffed with her nose twitching. This psychic, who could be considered a powerful one, was indeed dead.
However, the matter was not resolved.
Gu Hang first sent a message to Perbov in the rear:
"No need to bomb the second round. It almost killed me."
Hearing this, Perbov's expression suddenly froze.
However, Gu Hang's second half of the sentence made him relax again: "But well done."
The smile returned to Perbov's face.
I said we should be more decisive in killing!
Eh? No, the Governor said well done, isn't that a sarcastic remark? 'You almost killed me with the bomb, you did a great job.' Is that what you mean?
At this moment, Gu Hang didn't have the energy to care about Pobov's mentality.
He raised his head and looked at the Storm Owl incarnation that was slowly reorganizing itself, and the storm that showed no sign of stopping.
This was consistent with his previous guess: killing Cui Kao was not the key.
Or, they killed too late.
When they arrived here, the whole ceremony had already entered the completion stage. In a sense, what Trikao did afterwards was that he didn't take his life or death seriously. For a fanatical believer like him, he had completed his mission, and what followed was just a crazy attempt before he died, and he would take whatever he could get.
However, the huge mess he left behind was Gu Hang's biggest headache.
The storm cannot continue.
A long-lasting typhoon, heavy rain with exaggerated rainfall, frequent lightning strikes... this will destroy Fuxing City.
The intensity of the storm alone was already a natural disaster. Not to mention, the wind and rain were getting stronger and stronger, and the lightning was becoming more frequent. In just a moment, Gu Hang had already observed that several trees in the surrounding area had been struck by lightning.
I couldn’t even imagine what the city would be like.
He didn't know how far the storm would intensify, but he didn't want to see it.
Now we have to deal with this monster that can reassemble itself, and the completed ritual of sacrificing the city with the storm has to be dealt with even more.
The Governor looked calm as he carefully observed all the psychic dynamics around him, hoping to find a solution.
At the same time, he also hoped to get help from Grit and Rizzo to see if these two people with more experience could come up with any solution in this regard.
