Chapter Seventy-One: The Question of the Route
Even though I have served for more than ten years, faced all kinds of enemies on more than 20 battlefields, and seen all kinds of conventional or strange ways of death, this scene still deeply shocked me.
What a creative ending to smash your own head with one punch?
At the same time, this is also the first suicide Chaos warrior I have ever seen in my life, and it can even be said that the first enemy to commit suicide. Before that, I thought that only the weak-willed cowards of our defense forces would commit suicide.
Anyway, though, the death of the enemy was good news for me. The Chaos Terminator, who I considered indestructible not so long ago, has already died two in a matter of seconds, which is truly a miraculous victory.
Now, there is only one enemy left. The Chaos Terminator warrior who wielded the hammer and shield was completely incapable of action at this point. Although he had tried his best to pull his head out of the deck, under the weight of my psionic energy, he had exhausted all his body and will by barely maintaining a standing position.
However, I couldn't be distracted by the weapons while I focused on maintaining my psionic powers, so I had to leave the laser cannon with me and summon Awei to clean up the immobile Terminator. But Ah Wei ignored my greeting, and instead shouted into the dark area in the corner of the hangar, "Add, come out for me." β
I've seen Add's incredible teleportation abilities, and I'm not surprised that he's been here silently. Even though the hangar was lit up like daylight by the flames, Add was still able to find a place with a shadow and hide in it. He heard Ah Wei's call and walked out, spread his hands with a spring breeze and said, "I'm afraid that you will be delayed here for too long, so come and have a look, there is no other meaning." If it's okay, I'll go first. β
"You snatched the prey that belonged to me." Ah Wei pointed to the headless Chaos Terminator in displeasure.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Add shrugged, "I never thought of fighting for your loot, you didn't come." But there is one fact that I should remind you that we are not hunters, not even warriors, we are inquisitors. β
I rub, is it time to chat? I'm tired of maintaining my psionic energy like this, okay? Can't you just get rid of this first?
Just as my strength was slightly slackened due to distraction, the enemy I had suppressed seized the flaw and activated the teleporter again, disappearing in place, and then appeared in the middle of the three of us, the warhammer raised high and smashed towards the deck beneath our feet.
Shock Attack! I immediately understood this special way of attacking with brute force and heavy weapons. The massive power hammer was powerful enough to smash hundreds of tons of force under the power of the Terminator's power armor, causing a shockwave that could knock people away and cause long-term stun, and the steel deck happened to be a good conductor of shock. I was trying my best to maintain a spell, and I didn't have time to re-suppress him, so I had to remove the spell and cast a levitation spell to keep myself floating. Speaking of which, this shock attack is easy to defuse, as long as your feet don't touch the ground.
As for Eddie and Avi, the people who came out of the court shouldn't be able to cope with this situation, right?
However, I don't know if she was caught off guard or because she trusted her companion too much, Ah Wei stood there motionless. Only Add stretched out his hand and pointed at the terminator, "Stop! β
The sound was not loud, there was not the slightest so-called deterrent or infectious power, but the Terminator actually maintained the posture of holding up the warhammer and about to smash it, and did not move anymore.
"Lay down your arms." Add issued a second command, "I judge your soul in the name of the Emperor, traitor!" ββ¦,
With two clangs, the heavy shield and warhammer fell to the ground in turn, and the Terminator fell to one knee in front of Add.
"What are you doing, Add?!" Ah Wei asked sharply.
Add smiled, pointed to his head and said, "As you can see, this is my battle." Fighting does not have to be full of fire, steel, and flesh, and it is important to know that faith is our most powerful weapon against our enemies. β
"You're trying to accuse a filthy betrayer! You have made heart-to-heart communication with him, and your actions have become suspected of heresy, Inquisitor Adrius. Ah Wei unceremoniously called him by his full name, using the harshest tone, "The mentor will not allow this kind of behavior!" β
"I believe that I am the Inquisitor of the Inquisition, Lord Acvetia. I am more qualified to judge what constitutes heresy. Eddie countered with a smile on his face, "We should not tie our hands and feet when choosing a way to strike the enemy. All victories that are beneficial to the empire must be fought for by any means. Moreover, this warrior has served the Empire for hundreds of years, and despite the unforgivable crimes he has committed for nearly a hundred years, I have given a fair judgment to his soul, and as for his body, armor, and weapons, they were once the precious treasures of the Empire, and we should let this wealth serve the Empire again to destroy the enemies of the Emperor, right? β
"Add, how can you have such dangerous thoughts? You ......" can see that Awei's eloquence is not at all comparable to Eddie's, and she doesn't know the essentials of debate at all. She was about to give a further rebuke when suddenly there was an earth-shattering thud that shook the entire cabin, and Avi and Add, and even the half-kneeling Terminator, were completely unable to maintain their balance and fell to the ground, only I was spared because I was floating.
What happened? The shock that can overturn the Terminator, could it be that someone detonated a ground-moving cannonball not far away?
Following the source of the sound, I saw that the door to the outside of the hangar had bulged out in large chunks, as if something huge had hit it outside. Suddenly, I remembered the enemy's landing torpedo - so soon?
In a violent grinding sound of metal that tingled the scalp and teeth, the bulging bag grew larger and larger, and finally a sharp giant drill bit spun rapidly and broke through the heavy metal wall to appear in front of us. Then the drill stopped spinning and bloomed like a bud, revealing a bunch of humanoids insideβa group of Chaos Space Marines.
This massive cylinder, more than twice as thick as a Thunderbolt, was crammed into a dozen Chaos Space Marines, all armed and ready to fight. These super-soldiers, who were once finally empires, but have now rebelled under the command of the evil gods, have a dark red livery similar to the previous Terminators, like the color of blood after it has dried up, and their chests and shoulder armor are painted with hideous and ugly chaos insignia, exuding a madness and disgusting atmosphere. I didn't see the specific emblem of a certain evil god, but intuitively I thought it was a warrior of abusism.
"For the sake of the supreme king of the maelstrom, let's take this ship!" The fighters at the head shouted with a chainsaw, jumped out of the cabin of the landing torpedo and stepped onto the hangar.
I was about to summon a weapon to attack, but someone was faster than me. The Terminator scrambled to his feet the moment he fell, picked up his shield and warhammer and charged. The Chaos Warrior at the front was stunned for a moment, and before he could even put on a defensive posture, he was smashed into a puddle of flesh sauce mixed with broken steel. Presumably he must have been curious at the moment of his death, why his partners who were in the same camp not long ago actually rebelled again after a while.........
The Terminator's killing obviously doesn't end with the first victim under the Warhammer. He jumped into the engine room of the landing torpedo, and in that cramped compartment he made the most violent and effective attack on his comrades not long ago. He slammed his shield, slammed his shoulders, kicked and trampled, every movement had a terrifying power enough to crush ordinary power armor, and the huge warhammer with lightning was a deadly weapon, often blasting two or more opponents to the slag with a single blow - who called it really crowded here.
In just a dozen seconds, a team of Chaos Space Marines stuffed with an entire torpedo was slaughtered by this terrifying Terminator. Dripping with scarlet, the Terminator turned back the way he came, half-kneeling in front of Eddie again.
It is said that every Terminator warrior is a veteran who has fought for hundreds of years and has unparalleled combat experience and killing skills. I watched the one-sided slaughter from afar, amazed at the Terminator's skill. Although I have far more brute strength than him, I can't exert every force on the enemy's vital points like he does.
At this time, Ah Wei and Eddie had also recovered from the shock of Fang Cai. Add pointed to the slaughterhouse-like landing torpedo and smiled silently.
"You're playing with fire." Ah Wei still had the same sharp accusatory tone.
Eddie said indifferently, "Which of us is not playing with fire?" Speaking of playing with fire, it seems like you're better at playing with fire than all of us, right? β
Ah Wei gritted her teeth, turned to me and asked, "Yiershan, what do you think?" β
I'll rub it! Don't drag me into the line dispute within your courtroom! I'm just a soldier who obeys orders and listens to commands, and the issue of the route is completely out of my consideration!
Besides, you are all my closest friends and brothers, so who should I help?
At the right time, a few more clangs were heard in the distance, and more landing torpedoes hit our battleship. I hurriedly said: "More enemies are landing, now is not the time for us to start infighting!" Go and command the battle! β
"So what are you going to do?" Ah Wei asked.
I picked up the laser cannon I had just taken out and fired a shot at the inside of the landing torpedo, the laser beam passed through the torpedo's compartment and penetrated the thrusters behind it, causing a small explosion. Because there was air inside the hangar and a vacuum outside, the explosion did not affect the inside at all. And after that, with the sharp sound of the wind, the air in the hangar began to leak outward.
"The Melved Picker has just asked me for help, they have sent the main combat force to our side for reinforcements, there are not many troops left, I have to go and have a look." I gestured out into space, put away the laser cannon, and put on my breathing mask.
It involves the high-level line struggle, and I still have to roll as far as I can in the whirlpool of this struggle. It's a lifetime to be on the wrong side.
