Chapter 469, Reverse Beheading
Although he had never dealt with them personally, Salu knew that these canned shrimps were very powerful.
He still knew some news about the main battlefield. He knew that two years ago, a group of orange canned shrimps ran to the main battlefield and caused great trouble to the chief.
He was feeling lucky that canned shrimps did not appear in front of them.
- Of course, the cunning Salu cursed in front of his subordinates, saying that it was a pity that they did not encounter such an enemy, otherwise he would definitely kill him and send him to the chief to make the chief happy.
However, he did not expect that these canned shrimps would appear on such a critical target at such a critical moment.
Boarding the battleship and destroying it from within was the only possible way Saru could think of to win the war.
As a result, thanks to Goge and Maoge's help, he succeeded in joining the team, but he had to face an enemy that even the chief found difficult to deal with.
However, the orcs will not be afraid of strong enemies, and the same goes for Saru.
He took a bullet and was even bombarded by a grenade launcher, but he still let out a deafening roar and charged forward fiercely.
Explosive bombardments rained down on his huge body, even mixed with bursts of plasma and molten rays.
However, he managed to block all these attacks.
His entire body was wrapped in super heavy orc armor, and his height was even more than three meters, taller than the larger cans in front of him.
The armor all over his body was made by the great master of the Iron Tooth Clan. Each piece of armor was not only thick, but also made of super metal condensed by the great master himself, giving Saru a very strong and terrifying defensive ability.
Ordinary explosives can't penetrate his defense, and even heavy explosives can't do enough damage. Only hot melt rays and plasma can definitely kill him, but they can't easily penetrate his energy shield.
Moreover, he also carried a shield on his back. This shield was not used as a real shield. The portrait of Maoge painted on it was made by the orc shaman. Combined with the energy shield built into his armor, his body released a layer of green light.
The energy shield blessed by the orc gods possesses extraordinary power.
The energy shield has to withstand the firepower of half a company of Space Marines at close range. It is not that it cannot withstand it, but the damage will not be small, and it will be broken sooner or later. But the strength of this layer of shield is that it will not withstand it stupidly.
Some of the explosive and heavy bombs that could not penetrate the defense would slip through; a few plasma shells could also slip through, because they were not easy to penetrate anyway, and even if they did, Isaru's extremely strong body could withstand the damage.
The most dangerous thermal rays will be blocked with all your strength.
In addition to these passive defenses, Saru's counterattacks are also extremely fierce.
He held a huge automatic pistol in his hand, and his accuracy was a bit worrying. During the charge, he fired eight shots in a row, five of which missed. But the three shots that hit directly killed three Phoenixes.
More importantly, under Saru's cover, the many greenskins behind him all rushed up.
Following him were his black orc guards. Each of them could be a leader of a tribe. They were all heavily armed, and although not as luxurious as Saru's, they were definitely not weak. Bolters could cause damage to them, but not enough to kill them with one shot.
As for the Marines around the Phoenix, the weapons in their hands had even less effect on them.
These leader's guards fired at each other and charged at the same time, causing certain casualties to the Phoenix.
They ran at an extremely fast speed and, led by Saru, collided heavily with the Phoenixes.
The Space Marines are certainly not afraid of close combat, but this is also something the Orks are better at.
During the fight, the human side quickly fell into a disadvantage.
Although the Phoenixes were powerful, their numbers were too small compared to the Saru Guards. The friendly forces around them, hundreds of special warfare elites from the 10th Brigade wearing feedback power armor, and elite marines wearing power exoskeletons, seemed quite weak in front of the Saru Guards.
The most terrifying thing is that there is Saru himself, an orc warrior, who is invincible in the team.
After entering into close combat, his energy shield was no longer effective, but his bravery, fighting skills, and terrifying brute force became even more ferocious.
There was hardly any phoenix that could match him. With the battle axe in his hand, he could smash the breastplate and torso of a Space Marine, and then cut off the head of another phoenix with the next move.
Only the Terminator warriors who are similar in size to the orc warrior can form a small group of three and put up a slight fight.
However, it was not the Space Marines who had the advantage in numbers. After they barely stopped Saru, they were suddenly shot in the back or slashed by another of Saru's personal guards.
This instantly gave Saru an opportunity. He fitted himself in, ignoring the other two Phoenix Terminators who continuously attacked him from behind, and slashed seven or eight times with his violent battle axe in an instant, chopping the enemy in front of him into pieces.
When I turned around again, the remaining two Terminators were already much farther away.
Not only them, but others too.
The Phoenix is retreating.
King Salu roared and rushed forward, leading his guards to chase him.
This forced the Space Marines to leave some men behind to cover their retreat.
After eating up the remaining troops and killing a Terminator, there were no other enemies in sight.
Saru, whose passion for battle had calmed down a little, did not continue to charge. He reorganized the team, expanded the landing area, and received a whole group of green-skinned guys who landed torpedoes before he led his men to the depths of the ship again.
…
Saru's previous judgment was basically correct. Gu Hang had indeed disguised the Nova as a giant-bellied transport ship, and then sneaked into the Temir system under the protection and cover of the main fleet.
The other ships in the fleet he brought from the Pegasus star region were left near the jump point of Steel Wing Star to avoid adding too many warships at once and scaring away the greenskins.
Now that the battle had begun, there was no need for the ships left at the Steel Wing System Jump Point to hide anymore. They had received the news and had started to jump. However, crossing the jump point was not something that could be done in a short time. It would take at least two days at the fastest. They could not be counted on for this battle. At most, they could catch up to pursue and expand the victory after the battle.
But it didn't matter, they were not needed to win the war. A Retribution-class battleship joining the battle, plus Gu Hang's own strength, was enough to change the situation.
This is indeed the case.
When the greenskins failed to discover the existence of a battleship in the human fleet before the battle and launched a fleet charge, the outcome of this naval battle was basically doomed.
However, war is something that does not allow for any negligence.
Do the greenskins really have no way to turn defeat into victory?
That may not be the case.
When you are in doubt, join forces to solve the problem.
If an orc general were to lead an elite team and cause chaos in a battleship, or even cause irreversible damage, it would be possible for the battleship to capsize.
Gu Hang had a plan and arrangements for this.
The interception firepower network of each ship was fully activated, paying attention to capturing the green-skinned orcs' boarding torpedoes as much as possible, and destroying them in the void before the enemy completed the boarding.
Phoenix Space Marines are deployed on each of the main battleships.
Almost the entire battle group was brought by Gu Hang.
After two years of development, with Gu Hang investing a lot of grace points, the total number of Phoenixes has reached eight hundred.
Among them, three hundred Phoenix warriors, led by the Chapter Commander Martins, were guarding the Nova; and the other eleven cruisers, each with nearly fifty Phoenixes.
Almost all the elite special forces of the 10th Brigade were also dispatched. Although they did not have the combat power of the Space Marines, the special forces elites wearing feedback power armor, combined with the Sentinel mechas and the elite marines on board, still had a good combat power. The normal greenskin troops would also be crushed by them.
All the troops are on high alert to protect the safety of each ship.
Most of the greenskins' attempts to board the ship were thwarted.
A large number of boarding spacecraft and boarding torpedoes were destroyed by the dense interception firepower network; the few that succeeded in boarding the ship were also eliminated by the elite troops inside the ship.
Of course, the Nova was the enemy's main target. Those who jumped onto the human flagship were not only Saru himself and the people on his ship, but also many from other green ships. Most of them were intercepted, but due to the large number of people, many still managed to board the ship successfully.
Most of the green-skinned orcs who boarded the ship were strongly suppressed by the Phoenix and its special warfare elites. They often couldn't even leave the landing point, let alone cause any damage to the Fire Nova.
The only mistake was made at the position where Saroo personally participated in the battle.
But this is not a mistake, it can only be said to be expected.
Gu Hang expected that the enemy would adopt the tactic of boarding and make a last-ditch effort. There were some individuals with very formidable strength among them. Gu Hang had experienced this in the naval battle that was planned in the Wrathful Owl Galaxy and did not dare to underestimate them.
But it's also an opportunity.
Beheading the leader of the greenskins is the easiest way to defeat the greenskins. But you, the leader, came to us on your own, right?
The Phoenix Squad, which encountered Saru at the front, received the order to retreat.
It is actually normal for a powerful orc warrior to show such strength.
Although two Terminators and more than twenty Space Marines were sacrificed, at least the remaining people managed to evacuate alive.
If we don't retreat, we will be killed in vain by Salu.
The Phoenix has the courage to fight to the death, but it doesn't need to.
As the commander of the anti-landing operation, Martins decided to attack personally.
An ordinary phoenix could defeat a powerful orc warrior, but the losses would be huge. As the commander of the warband, he felt extremely distressed.
Such powerful individuals should indeed be dealt with by chapter leaders and chapter champions like Martins.
The two soon met.
At this time, King Saru had been active on the Nova for more than half an hour.
The time didn't seem short, but in fact, Saru didn't have time to do anything particularly important. The Nova was too big, and it was not that easy to find and destroy some core and important areas. It would take a long time just to search for them.
So far, the damage caused by Saru is still within the controllable range. It has a certain impact on the combat effectiveness of the Nova, but generally speaking, the damage can be repaired.
Of course, if you leave him alone, he will do something big sooner or later.
The moment the two met, the battle began without any nonsense.
In addition to Martins himself, there were also one hundred Phoenix warriors participating in the battle, including the Terminator squads from the first and second companies, totaling more than twenty.
Martins didn't just want to deal with Saru. The entire guard squad led by that guy was the elite of the greenskins, and they all had to be eliminated.
As soon as they started fighting, Martins and Salu both realized that they had met a strong enemy.
Neither of them could do anything to the other.
In terms of equipment, King Saru was better, but Martins wasn't much worse. His Iron Knight Terminator Power Armor was a finished product directly produced by the black box, with no flaws, and could be called a fine power armor. Although he didn't have the conditions to ask a sage of the Mechanicus to give him too many personalized accessories, the quality was not low.
In terms of combat skills, to be honest, Saru is still stronger. Although Martins has the strength equivalent to that of a chapter champion, there is still a certain gap between him and a top warrior like Saru. There is no difference in level, but it must be admitted that he is slightly inferior.
However, there was a bit of thunder power in Martins' every move, which was something that Saroo did not possess.
Gu Hang has already opened up the territory of the Kingdom of Storms. Although the main task is not to "buff" the Space Marines, it would not be difficult to do so if done conveniently.
Speaking of which, Salu also has the blessing of his second brother, but this is very different from Gu Hang's special training.
The two fought evenly. Even though Martins was at a slight disadvantage, there was no possibility of him losing for the time being.
His goal was quite clear, which was to hold this orc general back.
The rest of the human troops were quickly strangling Saru's personal guards.
Twenty Terminators, without Saru personally hacking them to death one by one, still had a great advantage against ordinary Orc guards. Moreover, the Phoenixes had strong tactical coordination. Eighty ordinary Space Marines fought together with the Terminators, supporting them and making up for the lack of flexibility of the Terminators.
Not to mention, there are more than a thousand elite special forces helping in the battle. Although the individual combat capabilities of these human warriors in feedback power armor are slightly inferior to those of the orc guards, they are outnumbered.
With their tactical coordination, Saru's elite guards are gradually being reduced.
One after another, the powerful orc warriors fell, and Salu saw it all.
He was anxious and angry, roaring and launching round after round of violent attacks on Martins. He wanted to kill the canned shrimp in front of him quickly, so that he would have a chance to help his guys and turn defeat into victory.
However, Martins fought calmly, like a tough rock, withstanding the strong pressure from Saru and entangled him tightly, making him unable to escape. And once Saru was too impatient and tried to abandon him and go find someone else, he would often stick out his fangs and bite him hard. A slash of the precision power sword under his powerful force could actually threaten Saru's life.
The situation of the battle gradually became clear.
The desperate King Salu violently swung his axe at Martins. This time, he didn't care about anything else, and even if he was killed by Martins, he wanted to take this shrimp can with him to die together.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt a strange force hitting him.
He was not knocked away, but just staggered slightly.
Martins took this opportunity to stab out with his sword, but was blocked by Salu with his battle axe.
He was just about to curse the insidious shrimp for ruining the glorious duel, but at this moment, he suddenly felt a chill in his back.
Another Terminator warrior appeared behind him.
That was Cardoso, the captain of the Phoenix First Company.
His strength is quite good. Although he will definitely be defeated in a one-on-one fight with Saru, with the help of the Phoenix's think tank to interfere and control, and with Martins wrestling with Saru head-on, it is not a problem for Kalduso to take this opportunity to sneak up behind him and give him a righteous backstab.
Even if the backstab attempt failed and Saru reacted, with his skills, he should not be killed by Saru.
But this did not happen, and his sneak attack was successful.
Saroo, who was stabbed in the vest, felt his hands suddenly become weak.
Martins did not miss this opportunity. He suddenly jumped up, wielded his precision power sword, and cut off Saru's arm holding the battle axe. Then he made a sword flower and cut off Saru's head.
After witnessing the death of their leader, the remaining orc guards suddenly fell into chaos.
Already at an absolute disadvantage in the battle, they had no way of resisting the joint siege of the Space Marines and the special forces elite, and were quickly wiped out.
The orc leader was beheaded in reverse!
