Chapter 994: Great Unclean Cluster
Even Gu Hang felt dizzy when he saw this scene.
Although Gu Hang did not come to the battlefield in person, he saw all of this.
The Jianqi in front of him turned someone into a demon in just one second, and Gu Hang thought it was quite exaggerated and shameless.
Even more shameless was that, even after clearly losing the game, this guy refused to admit his mistake and even planned to fight himself. Gu Hang dealt him a severe blow, and the two of them were entangled in the subspace for a long time before they broke free.
As a result, unexpectedly, things happening on the surface of Holy Terra became more exaggerated than the last.
First, a group of bronze bull riders appeared - is this something that can be seen frequently in the real universe?
Every encounter would be a bloody affair, let alone an entire, fully staffed order of knights!
Facing an enemy of this size, it was normal for the frontal assault led by Robert to fall into a stalemate.
What is even more exaggerated is the seventy-seven unclean creatures surrounding Qi Bodu!
This was a legitimate demon, a being capable of annihilating the world if it were to strike out. Gu Hang had encountered one before, back when he was starting out on the Wrathful Owl Star, though it was only an incarnation. On the neighboring Koroja Hive World, he'd fought it head-on, luring it into his Storm Kingdom. It took a long time and a great price to finally defeat it.
It's just an ordinary unclean one!
If an ordinary Space Marine chapter encounters this thing, it may not be able to defeat it even if the whole group is wiped out, unless there are multiple chapter champions in the group, or there are more than the chapter champions.
And right now, there are seventy-seven of these things placed before my eyes.
Gu Hang was already prepared for the failure of this operation.
The next thing to consider is how to facilitate the evacuation of this elite force.
To be honest, this gave Gu Hang a bit of a headache.
Just as if Tzeentch was not allowed to intervene, he would personally intervene, even at a cost. If he 'disobeyed the rules' and personally intervened, the result would probably be the same.
That "kind father" who might be feeling proud of himself would never watch Gu Hang personally destroy his good situation.
But similarly, could these seventy-seven Great Unclean Ones, including the Bronze Bull Riders still wreaking havoc on the battlefield, have simply appeared on their own? The cultists' prayers and sacrifices alone could not possibly summon such a terrifying force.
It must be the evil boss behind the scenes who did it.
Gu Hang couldn't take action directly, so he had to think of some indirect methods.
But before he could start the operation, a scene that surprised him happened.
Holding the Nirvana Blade, Martins raised his arms and shouted, then rushed to the front and killed the enemy!
And his actions also had a huge inspiring effect on all the troops under his command.
Although the enemy is extremely terrifying, the human warriors chant hymns of courage and march towards death bravely and fearlessly!
What’s even more surprising is that they actually achieved results!
The presence of the 77 Great Unclean Ones certainly caused immense damage to the human forces in the first wave of battle through their vicious Nurgle magic and plague cannons. However, the counterattack launched by the surviving human forces was by no means easy.
After losing nearly a hundred Titans, the remaining nine hundred, with their ferocious volley firepower, also sent away the two most arrogant Great Unclean Ones at the forefront!
The Titan's firepower should not be underestimated.
Especially the nearly one hundred Warmaster-level Titans!
The Titans of the Alliance National Knights didn't just retreat and fire back. While they held up their void shields and fired, the Titan pilots, the pilots of their knight mechs, took their first steps and charged forward!
Under the leadership of the Titan array, the elite infantry of the Alliance have a better environment to advance.
Their weapons might only be able to cause very limited damage to the massive Great Unclean Ones. However, the main enemies that the elite human infantry dealt with were not those Great Demons.
Besides the Great Daemons, there were also a significant number of small and medium-sized demons, as well as some larger creatures—for example, Toad Dragons and Beasts of Nurgle. While they weren't as powerful as the Great Unclean Ones, they were comparable in size. There were also some powerful Plague Bearers and some tainted humans serving as Nurgle Warriors, protecting the Great Unclean Ones. There were even some Pale Death Marines, brought here through the unholy magic of the Warp. This was a well-known traitorous Legion, whose entire force had defected to Nurgle.
We can't let these things get close to our Titans easily. Otherwise, they will be able to break through the protection of the void shield and cause fatal damage to the Titans or Knight Mechs at close range.
Titans are the core combat weapons of the current human army. Only they can cause widespread and sufficient damage to the Great Unclean Ones.
The human infantrymen completed their tasks very well.
The swarming demons found it difficult to get close to the Titan under their attacks.
The blessings reaped from the Sisters of Battle's faith were so strong they could be seen with the naked eye. The power of faith imbued these sisters with boundless strength, allowing them to temporarily rival even ordinary Space Marines.
Holy fire attached to their explosives swept the enemy down. Facing the enemy at close range, they were not afraid to wield chainsaw swords and power swords, fiercely fighting with the enemy and slaying the Nurgle demons one by one.
The elite soldiers of the Glory Guards were no less capable. They might have to sacrifice ten or twenty times as many men to kill a single Chaos Space Marine, but they were not shy about doing so, replacing anyone they could.
Opponents of Chaos Space Marine caliber weren't always encountered. The Pale Reapers didn't actually make up a significant portion of the enemy's numbers. The Glory Guards were still able to slay more normal demons with their superior numbers.
What's more, opponents like Space Marines should not be dealt with by the Glory Guards.
We have them too!
Aside from the two thousand warriors from the Founding Regiment and the Phoenix, the remaining three thousand were all elites drawn from various chapters. Their company had a high percentage of champions, so even if they were facing the Pale Reaper, they wouldn't be as strong as them.
What's more, the nearly two thousand warriors of the founding group and the Phoenix are the elite among the elites. The proportion of company champions and even the proportion of regiment champions are higher!
Whenever the Pale Grim Reaper faced them, he would have one thought: When did these minions of the Emperor become so powerful?
Under such a stranglehold, the enemy's formation was quickly broken through.
At the cost of destroying hundreds of Titans, the Titan array finally rushed to the front of the Great Unclean Ones.
A more brutal close combat has begun!
This order was actually issued by Martins.
He didn't think the Titans would easily win in close combat, but at least their chances were greater than in a long-range duel.
Lose one hundred Titans in exchange for two Great Unclean Ones... Even if this exchange ratio continues and all the Titans are lost, only twenty can be defeated.
Moreover, as the number of Titans decreased and their firepower decreased, the exchange ratio could not reach the level of being able to kill twenty opponents.
Close combat may offer some different opportunities.
What's more, Martins never placed all his hopes of victory on the National Knights, as that was unrealistic.
The infantry covers the Titans' approach, so what are the Titans covering?
Of course, it's the 'champions'.
At the first encounter, when the Great Unclean One and the Titan were fighting in close combat, Martins had already killed a Great Unclean One silently.
Martins's current stature was certainly quite large, but compared to the eight or nine-meter-tall Great Unclean One, he was still a far cry from the other's hips. But when the massive sickle swept towards him, the Nirvana Blade in his hand surprisingly held it steady.
Then, he turned swiftly and swung his sword again, cutting off the arm of the Great Unclean One before he could retract it; he took another step, raised the sword above his head, and stabbed it diagonally upwards into the fat belly of the demon.
The Alliance Primarch roared, thrusting his holy sword forward, slicing through the demon's hips and tailbone. The devastating wound left the demon unable to stand, collapsing.
The fallen demon tried to wave its arms to drive Martins away. An ominous green light covered its massive wound, attempting to repair it. But Martins dodged the attack and struck again, severing its ugly head.
At this moment, a plague cannon came towards them head-on.
The enemy obviously also realized the threat posed by Martins, and did not care even if there were accidental injuries, and wanted to give him a hard blow.
Martins had nowhere to hide, so he lowered his head and used his sword to block forward, ready to take it head-on.
However, when the plague cannon really hit him, he did not feel any impact and was not injured.
A piece of moving lightning formed a shield to protect him.
After taking a hit from the plague cannon, the thunder shield not only did not dim, but instead shone even more brightly, twisting into a thunder spear and shooting out, hitting back at the Great Unclean One who fired at Martins, piercing his head.
This was not a fatal injury to the demon, but it at least caused it to suffer heavy damage.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, a Warmaster Titan, which was even larger than the Great Unclean One, seized the opportunity and crashed into it.
The severely injured Great Unclean One was knocked to the ground. Warmaster Titan didn't care whether he would be injured or not. He raised the gravity fist of his left hand high and smashed it down hard, making a dent in the chest of the Great Demon. At the same time, the heavy artillery mounted under his arm, as well as the heavy rocket launchers on his shoulders and back, fired at his face.
The Great Unclean One couldn't stand up, but the Alliance's Warmaster Titan wasn't in much better condition either. It was covered in smoke and looked damaged, with many of its weapons damaged... But at least it stood up shakily, which should be considered a victory.
However, in the next moment, a magic sword swept over and cut down the Warmaster Titan.
But at the same time, the Alliance's Living Saint, Mother Grit, also set her sights on it. The flying Living Saint blasted her flaming halberd into it...
Dante and Raymond Weiss, while not as strong as Martins, were no less powerful than Grit, and perhaps even slightly stronger. Among the five thousand Space Marines, it was possible to gather a hundred or two hundred Chapter Champions. These Champions could also pose a deadly threat to the Great Unclean One, especially with the desperate support of the Alliance's Titan forces. The combined strength of the two could truly deliver a fatal blow to the Great Demon.
What's more, there is Gu Hang to help me and them cheat.
The thunder shield that occasionally appears on their bodies, which can help them block fatal attacks and launch counterattacks, is naturally the work of Gu Hang from a distance.
When Gu Hang did this, he heard his father's roar which was not kind at all.
But Gu Hang couldn't do anything about it.
If you can cheat and place seventy-seven Great Unclean Ones on the ground, can't I cheat a little for our troops who are close by?
Gu Hang thought that what he did was not as excessive as what the other party did!
Seeing Martins and many elite warriors of the alliance risking their lives like this, he was also touched.
He had already made plans. As soon as the troops began to evacuate, he would take some measures to ensure that as many troops as possible evacuated alive.
But he hadn't expected that, after seeing how powerful the enemy was, his troops didn't retreat, but instead launched a resolute counterattack. From commanders like Martins, to the numerous champions, space marines, and Titan pilots, down to the warriors of the Glory Guards and the Sisters of Battle, they refused to lose heart, refused to retreat, and charged forward with all their might. How could Gu Hang not be so impressive?
The means originally used to support the retreating troops were all transformed into offensive means and fell on them.
Let’s fight to the death!
As for the pressure in the subspace, Gu Hang took it all on his own!
Of course, at this time, he couldn't help but think of one thing in his mind - what is that old Deng doing?
Your nest is about to be overturned! I'm fighting hard here, what the hell are you doing?!
But this question soon had an answer.
Originally, Gu Hang was already prepared to face his father's wrath and have a good fight with him just like he did before against Jianqi.
Even though his Storm Kingdom had not yet fully recovered from the last confrontation, and the risk of the kingdom being destroyed and him being severely injured had increased dramatically, he accepted it.
But the expected war did not come.
On the contrary, Gu Hang could vaguely feel that in a very conspicuous corner of the subspace, the core area of the desperate country known as the 'Garden of Nurgle', there seemed to be a huge fire.
This news was later confirmed from another channel.
The Thousand-Faced God of the Eldar, the Goddess Windsor who is now in charge, sent him a message.
He had a 'godhood' that had been tortured in the Garden of Nurgle for countless years, and was rescued.
