Chapter 452: The Heroic Spirit Who Seizes the Ship
If Gu Hang just wanted to win a war, he could have done it long ago.
The Wraith Spike was indeed powerful, after all, it was a main battleship. But in Gu Hang's hands, he could still tear the battleship's void shield apart, rendering it temporarily ineffective.
Then, the salvo from the entire fleet will cause the battleships that lack the protection of void shields to quickly explode into space junk.
Although the battleship's armor is very thick, it is impossible for it to withstand a salvo from an entire fleet without any protection.
It can withstand the first round, but not the second round.
If Gu Hang had done this, the battle would have ended long ago.
But isn’t he just coveting her body?
That's a main battleship!
Alone! Unprotected!
This thing alone would cost 50 billion! Not counting bloodsucking, according to the alliance's own financial situation, it would take five years to save up!
That would only be possible if the coalition government did not eat, drink or spend any money.
What's more, things like battleships are hard to buy even if you have money.
The number of battleships produced by the Empire is limited, and the ships have owners before they are completed or even before construction begins.
Even if Gu Hang draws the battleship technology later, it is not easy to start the production line. Building a dock is very difficult, it is too big, and it will cost a lot of money.
And it’s a bit difficult to get it. Gu Hang hasn’t even mastered the cruiser technology yet.
If we can get this battleship that comes to our doorstep, we can save several years of effort.
Since we have to rob the ship, the most convenient way to win is naturally not available.
Let alone blowing up the ship, even if it suffers extremely serious damage it is not allowed, otherwise the ship cannot be towed back, or if it is towed back it cannot be repaired, and then all the efforts will be in vain.
Since they wanted to seize the ship, they had to board it and kill all the traitorous Space Marines and Chaos believers in the Chaos-corrupted battleship.
As for the damage that will occur to our side in the process of seizing the ship, whether it is the loss of the fleet or the loss of personnel in the process of boarding the ship, it is inevitable, but it is a necessary price to pay.
However, Gu Hang did not choose to board the ship as soon as the battle started.
The Alliance's boarding technology is not very good. If they must board, they can only rely on Gu Hang and his Storm Mage Group to carry out teleportation operations.
But that's hard.
The situation is somewhat similar to that on the Koroja battlefield.
The battleship corrupted by Chaos was filled with the power of the evil god. Unlike the plague that broke out in Koroja, it did not belong to the "kind father", but more like a "tyrant" sitting on the brass throne.
But there is no doubt that the two are equally great beings.
Although the scale of a battleship is certainly not the same as that of a world or a hive city, it does not mean that Gu Hang can easily use teleportation to get too many people into the battleship.
After all, although the battleship is smaller in scale, this time Gu Hang does not have a magic sword like the Great Unclean One as an anchor to deceive his opponent.
At most, he could send a team of about two thousand people into the battleship.
That was already three times more than when they were smuggling in Koroja. However, facing the hundreds of thousands of Chaos followers and two or three hundred rebellious Space Marine veterans, fighting in the Blood God's domain, Gu Hang still felt that the risk was too great.
Even if he participates personally and can guarantee victory, the loss is still an issue that must be considered.
He is not stingy about spending the price that should and must be paid for greater benefits; but when the benefits are equal, he does not want to spend a penny more on additional investment.
It just so happened that the Blood God's followers made it clear that they were planning to launch a boarding attack.
Come on then.
Kill the person who jumps over first. In this way, when you board the battleship, the resistance will be obviously much smaller.
It would definitely be much easier to eliminate those two hundred rebellious Space Marines on our own warship than on the enemy's warship.
If these two hundred rebellious Space Marines were killed, the remaining Ash Dead would probably be less than a hundred, and the entire battle would be much easier.
However, Gu Hang couldn't really wait until all the traitors who had boarded the ship were eliminated before dealing with the "Ghost Spike".
If that were the case, it would be too slow.
They did not dare to fire at the battleship for fear of destroying it; and it would take some time to eliminate the traitors on the ship.
In this case, it would be equivalent to completely allowing the 'Ghost Spike' to attack its own ships at close range with the battleship's terrible heavy artillery, which would result in huge losses.
If the time is a little longer, it is not impossible for this battleship to destroy half of the fleet.
That would be a waste of time.
Gu Hang would definitely not allow this result to happen.
Therefore, when the two hundred Space Marines just started to board the ship, Gu Hang simultaneously performed a reverse operation: he tore open the gap in the Kingdom of God and used psychic energy to penetrate the curtain between the Kingdom of Storms and the battleship.
This is not so easy. What Gu Hang has to tear open is not only the curtain between the Kingdom of Storm God and the real world, he also has to break through the Blood God's domain surrounding the corrupted ship.
While doing this, Gu Hang's nose was full of the smell of blood. He was quite nervous, fearing that he would provoke a big demon.
Gu Hang once had a record of destroying a big demon, but that was because the Great Unclean One Gowaga was sick and walked into the Kingdom of Storm God, allowing Gu Hang to take advantage of the home field and kill him.
Even though Gu Hang has become stronger now than he was back then, it is still hard to say what will happen if it happens again and the enemy doesn't give in.
What's more, even if we can win, wouldn't it still be difficult?
If you can avoid it, don't encounter it.
Fortunately, Gu Hang never found any such signs.
Good thing.
After completing the tunnel connecting the Storm God Kingdom to the battleship, Gu Hang let his loyal army of heroes in.
Theoretically, Gu Hang could absorb the soul of every Alliance warrior who died on the battlefield into the Kingdom of Storm God and transform them into heroic spirits.
Before, the number of Alliance soldiers who died was relatively small, but when the Greenskin War began, the number soared dramatically.
In the nearly one-year war, not counting the Allied forces, the Union Army alone had suffered more than 60 million casualties. Among them, 20% were seriously injured, but they survived and retired with pensions; 10% were treated and returned to their old units; but the remaining 70%, or more than 40 million Union soldiers, either died on the spot or died of serious injuries in field hospitals in the rear.
Logically speaking, the more than 40 million alliance soldiers who died should all be in Gu Hang’s kingdom of God.
But it doesn’t work.
Gu Hang can absorb so much, but he cannot support the existence of so many heroic spirits.
Then why bother?
If you can't bear it, then let their souls return to the Golden Throne.
All the same.
At present, there are about five million heroic warriors in Gu Hang’s Storm Kingdom.
If anyone dares to enter his kingdom of God and fight him, these more than five million heroic spirits will become the enemy's nightmare.
However, Gu Hang is not yet able to invest all the five million into the real world.
If he had the ability, he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble and could just seize the ship.
The number of people he could currently support coming into the real world was no more than 500,000 - only one tenth.
But it's enough.
Gu Hang has already placed about 70,000 to 80,000 on the 'Ghost Spikes'.
It’s not that there can’t be more, it’s just that there’s not enough space.
The heroes fought with the most fearless attitude. They possessed the same combat awareness and skills as when they were alive. The guns in their hands looked like the Alliance's standard G-series weapons, but what they fired were no longer physical projectiles, but a beam of lightning bullets.
After being attacked, the 'Ghost Spikes' fell into chaos for a moment.
In the past, they were the only ones who could board other ships. When did they end up being attacked by others on board?
And in this initial chaos, multiple firepower systems of the Revenant Spikes were occupied by the heroic spirits.
They did not destroy these firing points, but simply defended them on the spot, fighting resolutely against the counterattacking Chaos cultists.
At the same time, more heroes are attacking other places.
The defenders on the Revenant Spike soon discovered that they could not kill all the invaders.
Of course, these "people" with blue light all over their bodies will be eliminated. However, these Chaos Evils always find that there are only seven Heroic Spirits guarding the makeshift barricade in front of them. They eliminated three of them, so there should be four left. But when this team launched a charge and got close, they were shocked to find that there were still seven Heroic Spirits guarding here!
Heroic spirits cannot be killed - at least not in the real world. If they die in the real world, it won't take long for them to re-emerge in the Kingdom of Storm God.
Every time one died, Gu Hang would easily replace one. Unless the Chaos Evildoers on the Wraith Spike could kill five million Heroic Spirits in a short period of time, otherwise Gu Hang's Heroic Spirits would be endless.
How to defeat the Chaos Disciple on the Revenant Spike?
There is no way to fight!
Compared to the infinite number of Heroic Spirits, their number is limited.
This situation was not alleviated until the Ash Dead joined the battle.
The leader of the war gang, Zhong Jihua, has already figured out what is going on.
He had heard that the leader of the alliance, Gu Hang, was a powerful psychic.
A-level psychics can indeed be considered powerful in many aspects.
But he didn't take it seriously at first.
There are wizards in the warband as well, and they also have so-called A-level strength, and their strength is even higher because they are also Space Marines.
But what about these heroic spirits that appeared?
This is something that has never been mentioned in the intelligence!
——Gu Hang is very cautious about the use of the Legion of Heroes. At present, except for the servitors working in the Black Line Factory and a very small number of researchers with a very high level of confidentiality, only some people in the Phoenix Regiment know about the existence of the Legion of Heroes.
This was also something that Gu Hang explicitly requested to be kept confidential.
Gu Hang still believes in the Space Marines' ability to keep secrets.
Zhong Jihua already felt that he had fallen into a conspiracy, a trap specifically targeting him and his ship.
Like a trapped beast, he still fought to the death. He led the less than a hundred Ash Dead still in the battleship and personally joined the front-line battle.
With him, and nearly a hundred Ash Dead, the Heroic Spirits suffered a heavy blow.
To put it bluntly, the actual combat power of the Heroic Spirits is only slightly stronger than that of ordinary T5 soldiers. After all, they cannot escape the level of strength they had before they died. Their greatest characteristics are their immortality and their elusive delivery methods.
However, Gu Hang certainly took this into consideration.
On the Opera, it was the chief chaplain Rizzo who faced the ashes of the dead who had boarded the ship.
And where is the Chapter Master of the Phoenix?
Of course it's here!
Martins and the First Phoenix Company he led did not participate in the battle on the Opera. Instead, when necessary, they were directly sent to the Revenant Spike by Gu Hang and members of the Storm Mage Corps through psychic teleportation.
The anger that had been suppressed for a long time could finally be vented. Martins led his battle brothers, and with the cooperation of a large number of heroic spirits, they eliminated one squad after another and searched for Zhong Jihua throughout the ship.
And at this time, Zhong Jihua finally revealed his cunning side.
He tried to contact Anconi, but the communication equipment just made an endless buzzing sound without any response. He knew that the boarding troops had no chance of survival, and the situation on the "Revenant Spike" was deteriorating rapidly.
What if I can’t win?
Of course you have to run.
If they don't run, they will sooner or later be blocked and entangled by these undead heroes, and then his former fighting brother will find him with tremendous rage.
At any other time, he wouldn't mind fighting to the death with Martins, but not today.
If a fight breaks out today, he will be the one who dies.
This kind of battle is still unnecessary.
Zhong Jihua led a few loyal subordinates to move towards the boarding cabin. They exchanged fire with the heroic spirits in the corridor, and every step seemed extremely difficult.
Finally, they made it into the cabin.
There are several small, nimble ships here that have some stealth features to prevent detection.
He planned to escape by boat.
The risk is of course very high. In this chaotic battlefield, if you run out, you might be easily destroyed.
However, the Revenant Spike certainly could not escape, and this was his only option if he wanted to survive.
Zhong Jihua skillfully operated the boarding system, preparing to launch a spare small escape boat.
However, just as they were about to leave the warship, a figure suddenly appeared at the hatch. It was Martins, the Chapter Master of the Phoenix Regiment. He had a cold look in his eyes and bloodstains on his armor.
