Chapter 694: Justice Assault, Battle of Rheaduches (Part 9)
Le Luwa took a deep breath and rushed forward. After a moment, he arrived in front of the Overlord of the Insect Nest.
He knew that he was the only one who could stand up to this hive overlord. Apart from him, anyone else would die in vain.
However, even if it was him, would he be able to fight against the Hive Overlord?
He was confident that he could defeat the Hive Tyrant with ease; as for defeating the Hive Overlord... at least judging from the bloody storm he had just unleashed among his own troops, it seemed a bit risky.
But what can we do?
He either ordered the entire army to retreat, and then countless people were hacked to death on the way, and then the retreat turned into a rout, and then led to an all-round rout on the front battlefield...
If that is the result, he will be blamed for it.
First he had sent the General Front Army to the Northern Front and lost the First Battle of Readuches. Now the ground combat part of the second battle was supposed to be a comeback battle for him. If he fought well, he wouldn't make much contribution, but at least he could make up for the mistake of the previous failure.
But if he loses this crucial game again, what's the point of him staying alive?
Let him live and be used to poke the spine of the glorious Black Crusaders?
Then he would rather die.
If he was destined to be a loser, he would rather be a soldier who died in battle because of his inferior skills than a coward who ordered his escape.
What's more, even though the fight hasn't started yet, the final outcome is uncertain.
He wasn't fighting alone, either.
His Marshal's personal guards followed him; several champion swordsmen drawn from various companies also accompanied him.
There is no chance of winning in a one-on-one fight, but the same may not be true for a just group fight.
The Hive Overlord also has several Overlord Guards around him. Even if the strength of these guards is not as strong as that of the Tyrant, they are only a little bit behind.
These high-level bugs were stopped by Marshal Leroy's personal guards.
He himself came face to face with the hive overlord and felt the tremendous pressure personally at the first moment.
He wanted to take advantage of the momentum of the charge to find an opportunity to give the Overlord a ruthless blow. The damage that an ordinary power sword could cause to it was limited, but what he had in his hand was the "Holy Sword", one of the ten holy swords of the Black Crusaders, which was not the same as an ordinary power sword. Under this sword, at least three great demons were killed and sent back to the warp. No matter how thick, hard and tough the armor of the Hive Overlord was, it would be severely damaged if it was hit hard.
But, how can opportunities be so easy to catch?
The cunning Hive Overlord analyzed the threat of the Holy Sword the moment he approached. He turned around instantly, and two psychic bone blades slashed at Leluwa from both sides.
If Le Ruwa had to strike the Hive Overlord with a blow, it would have caught it with its side and back, and might have been seriously injured, but Le Ruwa would have been cut in half and died.
After that, no one would be able to pick up the fallen holy sword under its guard. His injured body would then quickly repair itself and would be back to full strength in no time.
Do you want to risk your life to seriously injure me?
Leroy obviously won't make a losing choice.
He could only give up on giving the Overlord a fierce blow, dodged the blow from the left, and used the Holy Sword to block the blow from the right.
Finally, we got through the first wave of crisis.
However, it was just the beginning. When he wanted to use his swordsmanship again and take the initiative to attack, he saw the four blades of the Hive Overlord slashing at him like a gust of wind and rain.
Fast, exquisite, and accurate, this is how Leroy felt. Even by human standards, the Hive Overlord is technically a master of swordsmanship.
But this is not the biggest and most distinctive feeling.
The biggest feeling is that the power it possesses is really outrageous!
With the blessing of extraordinary power, Le Ruwa had to try his best to deal with every attack of the Hive Overlord, but the Overlord had four swords and was a master of swordsmanship, so Le Ruwa was forced to retreat step by step.
Still want to take the initiative to attack?
It was already a great achievement to be able to hold on and not be hacked to death. There was no chance to launch any counterattack at all.
Even holding on was a false proposition. During the ten-second confrontation, Le Luwa felt that he could not hold on any longer. He might be cut off at any time and die.
But at this time, Le Roy's support finally arrived.
His personal guards were able to finally separate the Overlord guards, and two Black Cross Champions approached from the left and right.
The hive overlord also had to take time out to deal with it.
Le Roy is under less pressure.
Finally, I have time to attack.
But there was not a single successful hit.
Either it was dodged or it was easily parried.
Is this considered a balanced battle?
Not really. In the brief confrontation, the two Black Cross champions who participated in the siege were each left with a wound.
The Hive Overlord could potentially make a breakthrough against those two, or even against Le Luwa, at any time.
And it itself? It had fought with three champions and above, but it was still unscathed. The marks on its body were only from being hit by individual missiles and explosive shells on the way to the charge, and at most a few scratches on the armor.
It is clear at a glance who has the advantage and who has the disadvantage.
The third champion emerged.
In his hand, he was holding a Thor's hammer. He jumped high, and lightning roared on the long-handled hammer. The power was still in an overloaded state, and the thunder even directed into the champion himself, causing some damage to him.
But he didn't care and was determined to smash it with the hammer.
Le Roux and the other two champions attacked from the left, center and right at the same time, regardless of their own safety, determined to get that fierce thunder hammer for their fighting brothers so that they could hit the Hive Overlord hard.
They succeeded.
Although one of the battle brothers had his abdomen pierced by the giant blade, and the thunder hammer was dodged a little and did not hit his head.
But it hit the target after all.
Thor's hammer was overloaded with power, and the force of a champion's full-strength attack was still fierce enough. Even the hard back armor of the Hive Overlord was smashed to pieces, and purple-red blood spurted out. Its huge body, under this heavy blow, inevitably fell to the ground.
Leluwa and the champion swordsman who was in good condition took this opportunity to prepare for an attack. But even if the hive overlord was knocked to the ground, he still had the ability to resist.
It was even cunning enough to turn this into an insidious attack.
Leroy noticed it in advance, stopped, and shouted, "Be careful!"
The next moment, the overlord's long tail suddenly popped out from the top of its head, extending forward, flashing purple light, and stabbing forward fiercely.
But fortunately, Le Roux stopped, and the other champion also stopped after being reminded, preventing the Zerg Overlord's tail needle from succeeding.
The Thunder Hammer Champion raised his hammer and wanted to strike again from the spot.
The overlord who had just half stood up from the ground seemed to be the best target.
It was half-kneeling, with its head turned towards the direction of the thunder hammer, looking helpless, as if the thunder hammer was going to smash its head into pieces the next moment.
