Chapter 497, How to win a game?
Carduso still managed to get close to Cao Boyang smoothly.
Although there was no rocket launcher to suppress him, Cao Boyang still had a heavy explosive miniature machine gun mounted under his left arm. This thing had much more destructive power than ordinary explosives and a firing rate many times higher, so it had a very strong fire suppression effect.
Using it, you can even blow up a Lion tank head-on in less than ten seconds!
In the hands of mortals, this weapon can only be used as a fixed turret. Armored vehicles cannot carry it because they cannot withstand the recoil when firing. If a Lion tank is equipped with it, the main gun must be removed, which is not worth the cost. If a Space Marine uses it, two people are required to fight.
Only Space Marines wearing Terminator power armor can use it normally alone, and it can be mounted under one hand and the muzzle can be moved as the arm is raised.
However, it is still bulky.
When Cao Boyang realized that the two sides were very close, he turned the muzzle of the gun, aimed it in the direction where Carduso would appear, and began firing fiercely.
The continuous firing of the revolver heavy bombs was able to tear down the collapsed walls of the buildings, exposing Cardoso, who had originally wanted to rely on the ruins of the buildings to advance, to the muzzle of the gun.
He used this method to suppress the firepower and prevent Carduso from approaching, and hoped to give him a strong blow in this way. As long as a heavy bomb hits, it can cause considerable damage to Carduso who is only wearing ordinary tactical power armor.
In fact, Cardoso was indeed shot, and was shot three times.
It was impossible that he never made any mistakes. While Snake Skin was moving, he was hit by a bullet that grazed his abdomen.
It didn't really hit him, so he wouldn't be injured. However, as the captain of the Fury Corps and a well-known top warrior of the entire Corps, Cao Boyang couldn't miss this opportunity.
He is a master in the use of heavy weapons. His previous blockade and bombing with rocket launchers had already demonstrated his skills. The fact that Carduso was able to rush over was not because he was not good at it, but because Carduso's performance was really good.
At that moment, when a shot hit Carduso's body and made him slightly unbalanced, Cao Boyang quickly followed the muzzle of the gun. Being able to control a heavy-bomb revolver machine gun and track the target so sensitively at the full firing rate is truly a master.
But Cao Boyang's outstanding performance actually served as a foil to Cardoso.
Of the next two bullets that hit him, one was cut aside by Cardoso's power sword, and the third one, which came at the same time, hit his shoulder armor intentionally and caused an explosion.
Although the explosive power of the heavy bomb caused pain in his shoulder, the huge shoulder armor that was like a shield was not penetrated after all. It was just painful but did not affect his body functions.
Moreover, with the force of the explosion, Carduso's body quickly fell to the side, avoiding other attacks that followed.
At the same time, Karduso fired his powerful plasma pistol, which had been fully charged.
When Cao Boyang saw the gun being taken out, he instantly felt scared to death.
Needless to say, the power of this thing is very powerful. Although a single shot requires a relatively long time to charge, it is definitely more powerful than a heavy bomb.
What's even more terrifying is the accuracy.
The ability that Carduso had just demonstrated was that he could hit his rocket nest with one shot, even though he was so far away and had so many obstacles. Now, when they were much closer, he had no doubt that the other party would be able to hit his vital points with one shot.
For example, the goggles on his helmet.
The Terminator armor's visor is of course specially reinforced and not so easy to penetrate. But after all, it is not as thick and strong as other parts. If it is hit by a powerful plasma beam, it will definitely penetrate, and the head behind the visor will not be saved.
He could only turn his head suddenly, turn sideways, and raise the power sword to try to resist.
He succeeded, and the ray hit the power sword right on target.
Although he was not injured, the powerful plasma beam reacted with the power sword, generating a huge force that suddenly made his body unbalanced.
And this moment is Cardoso's chance.
He continued to charge forward without hesitation, and in a very short time, he shortened the distance between the two sides to the point where the power axe in his hand could threaten the opponent.
At this time, Cao Boyang had already adjusted his previously unbalanced body. Seeing that Carduso was very close, he swung his power sword horizontally.
This sword was extremely powerful and came extremely fast!
Carduso resisted with his battle axe, but the difference in power between the two of them was considerable.
This is not a difference between people, but mainly a difference between power armors. The power and output of the Terminator are definitely much greater than that of regular power armors.
But Carduso was always able to follow Cao Boyang's strong force, either twisting his body or releasing the force. In close combat, Carduso seemed like a small boat sailing in the stormy sea, only able to go with the flow, but in fact, he always took the initiative in the battle.
All of Cao Boyang's attacks were not active actions, but more like passive expulsion. However, he never succeeded. Carduso was always like a troublesome ghost, always around him.
The frequency of the power sword in his hand was actually not as fast as that of Carduso. This meant that after Carduso dodged or blocked every time he slashed, he still had enough energy to strike Cao Boyang.
Carduso also had to conserve his strength and not fight the enemy with all his strength. After all, the Terminator power armor was strong enough. If he failed to deal a fatal blow, he would lose his flexibility advantage and would not be able to block or dodge Cao Boyang's next attack. The Terminator's powerful blow would immediately make him pay a heavy price.
But despite this, every attack from the power axe, even if it is just a brief one, is terrifying when accumulated.
Erso, who was watching the fight, had clenched his fists tightly.
No matter how much he didn't want to admit it, Erso believed that their Fury Legion had lost the duel.
In the battle group, the most outstanding warrior under him, the captain of the first company, Cao Boyang, had already been defeated. If this was an ordinary duel, at this point, he could have admitted defeat.
However, this was not an ordinary duel, but a bloody fight to the death.
What does a bloody fight mean? There is no end to the fight until all the blood runs dry and everyone dies.
The fight will only end when one party dies completely.
Even if he was reluctant to see his old brother and comrade die, there was nothing he could do now. He couldn't interfere in a duel in front of everyone, otherwise he would be trampling on the honor of the regiment.
He could only watch as his brother accumulated more and more wounds on his body, and his movements became more and more inconvenient and sluggish, just like a bull in the bullring that became more and more furious but also weaker due to injuries and bleeding.
And finally, the failure that Erso had long anticipated finally came.
But the situation that he had always hoped for did not happen. After thinking that it was almost done, Carduso stopped "playing". Cao Boyang's movements had slowed down to a certain extent. The heavy blow came from the power axe that pierced the back of his left knee, making him limp. The other axe, in a fight, followed Cao Boyang's mistake and "slid" to the junction of the wrist guard and the iron glove, making Cao Boyang even less flexible when using the power sword.
In addition, the heavy-bomb minigun in his left hand was basically useless in this close combat. At most, it could serve as a block and a slight threat with heavy-bombs, which was better than nothing.
This means that Cao Boyang has three limbs. Although he is not disabled, the effect he can exert is at least very limited.
At this point, Carduso finally felt that it was safe enough and within the killing line, so he took action.
This time, it was Carduso who took the initiative to attack.
In fact, after Cao Boyang suffered heavy injuries on his knee and wrist, he rarely launched attacks, and no longer attempted to passively drive away the enemy. He just waited for Carduso to take the initiative.
Then come.
Cardoso swung his axe and chopped off Cao Boyang's head.
Of course Cao Boyang had to block it.
However, Cardoso simply changed direction just before the axe was about to hit his head, and Cao Boyang could no longer catch up.
In other words, his eyes and his consciousness could keep up, but his body, his broken Terminator power armor could not.
This time, Carduso's power axe hit the inside of Cao Boyang's elbow with full force.
Broken arm!
The extremely strong armor on the outside of the Terminator's elbow was not so easy to break, but the battle axe that chopped from the inside undoubtedly broke Cao Boyang's arm.
It was painful, but Cao Boyang was also a top fighter, and the pain alone could not make him lose his fighting power. He used his other arm to punch out, hitting Carduso. At the same time, the heavy bombs hanging below were also fired.
This seemed to be his ultimate counterattack move. He had already ignored the fact that the heavy bomb would hurt him in the process. He just wanted to take advantage of the moment when Carduso was trying his best to cut off his arm and fire at him at close range, even if it meant both of them perishing!
Cardoso was a little surprised. Cao Boyang's determination was indeed beyond his expectations.
But it doesn't make any sense.
He kicked out first, and Cao Boyang retreated two steps, while Carduso used the force to retreat five or six steps away.
He dodged, but Cao Boyang, who was a step slower, did not give up. He tried to move the gun and chased after Carduso. But the next moment, Carduso rushed up again and chopped off his left arm with an axe.
Cao Boyang, who had lost both arms, no longer had any last resort to fight for his life.
He desperately pushed his head forward, as if he wanted to make a final resistance by headbutting. But in reality, it looked more like he was sending his head to Cardoso's axe.
One axe split the helmet, and another axe cut the head in half.
The captain of the first company of the Fury Regiment, who could almost be regarded as the number one person in the entire regiment except for the chapter leader, died just like that.
The eight hundred - now 799 - warriors of the Fury Regiment watched as Carduso, clad in red armor, stepped on the corpse of the old captain, who was highly respected in the entire regiment, and roared to the sky with his battle axe in hand.
Under this great provocation, the warriors of Fury were first stunned and shocked, but then, as if insulted, they all let out fierce roars and shouted curses at Carduso.
Carduso took off his helmet, sneered, and turned away.
In the first game, Phoenix won.
The second game started soon.
The person who appeared looked like a very young warrior.
He introduced himself and claimed to be the first new recruit of the Phoenix, with a fighting career of 20 years.
20 years is, of course, a very long military career for ordinary people. They are all veterans among veterans.
But for Space Marines, 20 years is just the beginning. Most Space Marines can be considered out of the recruit period at this stage. They can only be considered veterans when they have served for 50 years and have a silver nail on their foreheads.
Those members of the Fury Corps who were shouting and cursing just now gradually quieted down their voices.
Although they cursed Carduso, Carduso was a real veteran with more than 200 years of combat experience and had survived the Expedition of Atonement. He was strong, was sent to lead the charge, and won the battle, killing Captain Cao Boyang. Although it was uncomfortable, it was not incredible.
But, send a rookie with 20 years of experience?
Look down on people?
But soon, they reacted again.
Except for four veterans who survived the Hundred-Year Expedition, the rest of the Phoenix are all new recruits recruited in the past 20 years.
Among the new recruits, the young soldier who called himself Peretus Anatos was actually already a veteran among them.
Thinking of this, some of the Furies couldn't help but sneer.
Erso also calmed down his emotions from the loss of his comrades.
After losing the first game, there is no room for losing the second game.
Erso sent out the most outstanding 'recruit' in the regiment.
Although he is called a new soldier, he has actually been in the service for 48 years and is about to reach the conventional level of a veteran.
Erso did not send this person out just to save face. He was a rare talent in the Fury of Flame, a natural born warrior who showed great talent after becoming a Space Marine, far exceeding the level of ordinary veterans.
In the battles within the regiment, he won countless victories. Even though he did not become the company champion, the difference was not much, and he was stronger than many non-commissioned officers in the regiment.
It's always easy to beat a Phoenix recruit.
At Erso's call, the talented warrior of wrath died.
The two participants in this second match were both wearing Terminators, the only difference was that Fury was wearing the 'Unyielding Type' while Phoenix was wearing the 'Iron Cavalry Type'.
The Indomitable is the most common Terminator armor in the current era, while the Iron Knight is much more valuable and has better performance.
Erso really didn't know where the Phoenix got so many iron cavalry.
The 'Majestic Type' that Carduso had worn previously was in a similar situation, being much rarer and better than the most common 'Skyhawk Type' that Fury's side was equipped with.
When he looked over, he saw that all the Terminators he saw were 'Iron Cavalry', and all the tactical power armor he saw were 'Majestic'... Where did the Phoenix get these good equipment?
Putting aside his jealousy and suspicion for the moment, he focused on the battlefield at hand.
Although the Unyielding Type is inferior to the Iron Cavalry Type in terms of performance, both are Terminator Power Armor after all, so there is no decisive difference in grade. The key to victory or not still depends on the difference between people.
He has great confidence in his soldiers.
However, this confidence was soon shattered.
Looking at the phoenix named Anato, stepping on the corpse of the genius of the chapter and roaring like his predecessor just now, Erso's face was so gloomy that water seemed to drip out of it.
Lost again!
What made him even more embarrassed was that in the previous battle, this genius of Nuyan, who was highly expected, could hardly pose any clear threat. Anato's strength level was obviously stronger than his, and he was already at a disadvantage and suffered heavy damage in the long-distance confrontation before he even got close.
Finally, Anatol appeared in front of him, knocked him to the ground, stepped on his chest, and shot him in the head with a heavy bolter. This was obviously a signature execution move, otherwise Anatol could have killed him from a long distance.
This is already a very obvious and overwhelming gap.
What was even more humiliating was that after the battle, Anatole did not leave.
He just stood there, calling for the next Rage to come out.
We must continue to fight.
What that meant was that the previous match was not very enjoyable and did not put in much effort!
Erso was determined to save his dignity and sent down a champion from the Fury Company.
However... we lost again in the third game.
The company champion fought in normal tactical power armor, seemingly trying to replicate the victory of Carduso earlier.
With his superb skills, he broke through the long-range fire blockade and brought the battle to close combat. However, in a close combat, tactical power armor does not really have an advantage. The thickness of the Terminator's armor and the weapons it is equipped with are not in vain. After dozens of rounds of close combat, the power fist in Anato's hand finally hit the head of the champion of the Fury Company, killing him with one blow.
Although Anato was also covered in scars, he won.
He still took off his helmet, smiled provocatively, and turned away.
Everyone in the Fury Corps is about to explode with anger!
Three consecutive losses!
Both games were won by one person!
Still a rookie!
This is fucking...
Erso no longer cares, the fourth game must be won!
The fourth person to go was a champion from the Fury's regiment.
His strength is comparable to that of the first company commander Cao Boyang who opened the game.
The phoenix that appeared this time was the regiment priest Rizzo wearing a skull helmet.
When the Gravity Scepter smashed the Raging Champion's head, Erso was already numb.
How can I win a game?
