Chapter 48: Shall we practice?
The Howling Wind God died, and his human form was gone.
The priest who was blown up by the metal spikes before was also in shapeless, leaving only a pile of broken pieces. The last one, on the other hand, looked a little better, but only a little. He had one arm and one leg broken in mid-air, and tried to resist after landing, but the elite land warriors who came up to him broke through his storm shield and stabbed him to death.
After the death of the three priests who wielded the power of storms, the wind quickly subsided and the white mist quickly dissipated.
During this short period of time, the soldiers were indeed thrown into chaos, and the firepower network was affected. Many monsters rushed in, and dozens of abscess sprayers entered the firing range. The sprayed pus caused casualties among the soldiers.
But overall, the damage caused by the chaos was serious but not fatal.
The wind died down and the fog dissipated, and the soldiers regained the initiative on the battlefield. They took casualties and killed all the monsters that rushed into the position. The abscess sprayers that had just fired one or two rounds of biochemical shells were also annihilated by machine guns and the machine guns of infantry fighting vehicles.
Although the three storm priests were finished, the battle did not end immediately.
It was true that those monsters obeyed the Storm Priest's orders to a certain extent, but after the priest's death, they were out of control and still posed a huge threat. They remained in a violent state, constantly pouring out of the woods, trying to attack all living things they could see.
But even though they were still frantic and the firepower of the soldiers in the position had been reduced due to previous casualties, they still could not rush in.
The gap in firepower is not something these primitive monsters can contend with.
It is said that when a large-scale, mature "abnormal tide" occurs, more and more advanced monsters will appear, not just limited to inferior abscess monsters and ejectors.
But at least Gu Hang and the others didn’t run into them this time.
The major hatching nests in the forest were still in the stage of accumulating strength. Perhaps in a few months, they would gradually hatch and devour each other, and a group of high-level monsters would grow up, and the situation would become very troublesome.
But right now, in order to kill Gu Hang, the Original Angry Owl Sect ripened most of the hatching nests in the woods in advance, launching an attack that seemed to be large-scale, but in fact there were not too many high-level monsters, and the threat was relatively general.
In fact, to some extent, the actions of the original Angry Owl Sect also helped Gu Hang.
A large number of hatching nests were ripened in advance, and a large number of monsters gathered here and could be dealt with in a unified manner. This reduced a lot of workload for Gu Hang's troops to subsequently clean up the entire alien forest.
As the battle continued, we could see that the number and density of monsters rushing out of the jungle were decreasing significantly.
Obviously, they are not really infinite. After being wiped out in large numbers, there are not many left.
Finally, when the troops led by Yan Fangxu arrived at the scene, the entire battle was basically coming to an end.
When he knew that the governor might be ambushed, he could no longer stay where he was and wait for rescue. He took the initiative to lead the troops and slowly break out, taking a steady and cautious approach.
According to his idea, it is not necessary to break through successfully. Even if it can help attract some attention from the Governor, it would be a good thing.
As a result, after walking for a while, the number of monsters he encountered suddenly decreased, as if they had all run away to other places.
He guessed that this was because the battle on the Governor's side had already begun, and even the roar of guns and cannons could be heard.
So they sped up and rushed to the battle site to meet up with the governor, but by this time, the battle was already coming to an end.
He had no choice but to join the battle with the 3rd Battalion and help clear out the remaining monsters.
Soon, there were no more active monsters appearing in front of the soldiers.
…
Perbov stepped on a pus monster that had lost its lower body and was crawling on the ground with only its hands, and watched it stretch out its hands in vain to try to grab him.
After thinking for a moment, he raised his pistol and shot it at the monster's head, making it completely quiet.
Hearing footsteps behind him, he turned around and saw Yan Fangxu walking towards him with a tired look on his face.
His eyes naturally fell on the other person's corroded and rotten shoulder clothes, and he saw the red skin under the tatters.
He grinned and said, "Oh, Captain, that's a mess."
Yan Fangxu rolled his eyes in annoyance, walked up to him and punched him in the chest: "You're not much better, you're limping."
"Isn't it to save you?"
Having said that, Yan Fangxu couldn't deny it anymore, and his face turned a little dark.
Perbov comforted him at this time: "It's not your fault. You are a bunch of trash, waste, and heretics who have no conscience. You just want to use you to ambush the governor. It can't be considered your fault. Our mission is to be the sword and shield of the governor. Today, neither of us completed this mission very well, but I will work harder from now on. What about you?"
Yan Fangxu looked at this officer who grew up in Feidong Society with some surprise. Why did this guy suddenly express such emotion?
He didn't know yet that the storm priest had just rushed in front of Gu Hang and directly threatened the governor's life. He had no idea how much of an impact this scene had on the battalion commander, as it was seen by Perbov.
He didn't understand any of this, so the captain could only touch his head and nod, which was considered as his agreement.
After saying goodbye to Pobov, Yan Fangxu found Gu Hang.
The Governor was in an infantry fighting vehicle.
One of his old subordinates stopped him and said, "The Governor is resting."
"I have something to report."
The Marine was a little confused, but still stopped him: "But... Captain, the Governor is resting, you should not disturb him."
Yan Fangxu was surprised again.
These are not the soldiers recruited by Gu Hang on the Angry Owl Star, but the Marines he brought down from the starship, and they are his direct subordinates.
Their relationship has always been closer. To be even more disrespectful, they have complained about the Governor in private. The soldiers are loyal to the Governor, but that is more like a duty and a position.
But now, he truly saw the respect his old subordinates had for the Governor in their eyes.
A question mark slowly rose from his head: What just happened?
He did not think that there was anything wrong with his subordinates' heartfelt respect and loyalty to the governor.
On the contrary, that is as it should be.
But this did not stop him from being curious about the reasons for these changes.
He gave up on waking up Gu Hang and instead pulled his old subordinate aside and asked him carefully about what had happened in the battle.
After learning about the situation, Yan Fangxu also fell silent.
The Governor was attacked by the heretic but was unscathed, just a little tired; the Governor's psychic spells were once again powerful; his old subordinates had undergone earth-shaking changes after the Governor's rapid "special training"...
To Yan Fangxu, this information sounded like nonsense.
Why were they unharmed? Why did those cultists fall down when they were flying in the sky?
All of this can only be attributed to the magic of spiritual power.
Yan Fangxu could accept the news that the Governor was a psychic master. After all, it was not the first day he knew that the Governor was a psychic, it was just that his performance was more miraculous.
Yan Fangxu tried hard to convince himself that it was no big deal.
But could these elite marines who had followed him in the past become even stronger? Or could they do it in a very short period of time? Just like the Governor trained those ordinary people?
Yan Fangxu found it hard to accept and believe.
He jokingly said, "Then boy, aren't you better than me now? Do you want to practice with me?"
In the past, no Marine Corps soldier dared to respond. Captain Yan Fangxu was well-known for his fighting ability, and sparring with him was just asking for trouble.
But now, things are different.
The soldier said with great interest: "Yes, yes!"

No, don't! Don't just look at the girls! How come you surpassed so many in one night? The Governor is pretty handsome too!
