Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 452

Chapter 451, Death of the Ash Dead

The chief wizard of the Ash Dead Warband is indeed quite powerful.

To be honest, he has to be at the level of a normal S-class psychic, which is only slightly worse than Gu Hang’s normal level.

But at the moment, Gu Hang has undoubtedly torn open the gap between reality and the warp, and the power of the Storm Kingdom has been revealed.

In this form, Gu Hang, who is almost at the Alpha level, can actually defeat this warband wizard quickly.

He can strip away part of the connection between the warband wizard and the warp, making the Chaos Gift invalid; then, the weakened wizard will become a toy in his hand.

But Gu Hang didn’t do this.

Getting rid of a warband wizard is not the top priority for Gu Hang.

He is now doing at least three things at the same time, and each one is very important.

In addition to entangled with this not weak warband wizard, Gu Hang is also dealing with those rebellious Space Marines.

Especially those Terminator armors.

Gu Hang deliberately allowed the Phoenix to fight to the death with the Ash Dead, even if it would cause some avoidable damage, but this was the Phoenix’s own wish.

Before setting off, when Gu Hang conveyed the order of the action to Martins, the Phoenix war captain burst out with strong subjective initiative. He almost mobilized all the mobile forces of the entire war group and invested in this battle.

Moreover, he strongly expressed a wish to Gu Hang, the savior and loyalist of the war group: the blades that killed the Ash Dead should preferably come from the Phoenix.

Gu Hang could understand his thoughts and agreed to this request.

But this does not mean that Gu Hang will let the war group and the war gang fight alone, which would only increase losses.

The number of Phoenix has just recovered to 500. Can they beat the Ash Dead on both sides? That should be possible, even though the other side is all veterans, and the Phoenix is almost all recruits. However, the Phoenix’s recruits are different from what most people think.

Before becoming a Space Marine, every Phoenix Space Marine had first been trained by Gu Hang’s [Soldier Card] system and was promoted to the T1 level. Purely from the perspective of combat experience and skills, they have reached the level of a normal Space Marine.

This level is still not as good as the veterans, but the gap is definitely not to the point where they are twice as many and still cannot beat the opponent.

However, the sacrifice will not be small.

Even on the ship, there are still a considerable number of special warfare elites from the 10th Brigade wearing feedback power armor. However, although they can pose a threat to the Space Marines, their combat effectiveness is too different. If they are involved in the battle, there will also be huge casualties.

Not to mention sacrificing the Phoenix, even if it is sacrificing the special warfare elites of the 10th Brigade, Gu Hang will be very sad.

It would be fine if he was not there, but since he is here, he will still take action personally to greatly reduce the casualties of the Phoenix.

Clearing out the Terminator Squadron among the Ash Dead is what Gu Hang has to do.

This team of ten or so Ash Dead Terminators, all of whom are elite veterans, would really require many lives for the Phoenix to pile them up to death if they really met at close range.

But it was not necessary.

Gu Hang could not use the psychic torrent to crush all the Ash Dead on board. Space Marines have strong bodies and their souls have certain special characteristics, which come from their bloodline and the nature of the warp that almost no one would admit, but Gu Hang could vaguely see.

It would be very laborious to use psychic power to kill a Space Marine, not to mention killing two hundred veterans in one go.

However, using psychic power to escort the Phoenixes and calling out psychic protection, which is similar to energy shields but is actually much more convenient, is relatively less laborious.

This helped the Phoenixes a lot in the shooting. Otherwise, in the narrow passage and lack of cover, facing a group of Terminators with more than ordinary tactical power armor, the Phoenixes would definitely suffer a great loss.

After the group of Terminators on the opposite side started charging, Gu Hang was bombarding the enemy with extremely concentrated lightning spears.

He was still able to kill a Terminator with one blow.

During the charge, Gu Hang was doing this kind of thing of calling out names one by one.

With only a few hundred meters between the two sides and the charging speed of the Space Marines, it only took a few breaths for Gu Hang to throw out six lightning spears.

Those Ash Dead Terminators, in the current environment, had no way to avoid it. Even if one dodged, the one behind him could not dodge.

Six lightning spears meant the death of six elite Terminator veterans.

But the Ash Dead finally rushed to his face.

In this process, in addition to the six Terminator veterans who were bombarded to death by Gu Hang, there were also dozens of Ash Dead rebellious Space Marines who died under the attack of various long-range weapons. At the moment

, the distance between the two sides was very close, and close combat was inevitable.

“For the Emperor!” Rizzo, holding the Gravity Scepter, shouted and rushed up first.

He chose his target, the leader of the rebellious dead, Anconi Ben.

The gravity scepter and the flesh-tearing battle axe collided fiercely, and Rizzo suffered a loss.

The output of the Terminator power armor is far stronger than that of the regular power armor.

Anconi was completely excited.

He seemed to have returned to the past.

In the past, he had practiced with Rizzo priests in the chapter arena more than once.

At that time, he was always no match for Rizzo. Rizzo also corrected his movements again and again without getting tired.

Of course, in the communication between the two of them, combat practice was not actually the mainstream. They were more in the church of the chapter flagship, studying classics together and studying the subtle meaning of the Emperor.

He was born in a family of state priests on the mother planet of the chapter. He should have taken the same path as his father and grandfather, becoming a respected believer in the world who spread the Emperor’s gospel and became the spokesperson of the God-Emperor.

However, he did not like those since he was a child, and preferred some heroic legends and stories.

It was normal. On the Phoenix’s home planet, the Phoenix’s reputation was unmatched. Every chapter of the regiment’s history and every warrior’s heroic name were spread all over the planet. Everyone on the Phoenix’s home planet grew up listening to such legends. It was normal for a young man to have aspirations.

And in another Phoenix recruitment, he naturally signed up.

This was also supported by his parents.

Shouldn’t it be? It’s only natural for the child of the God Emperor’s priest to sign up when the God Emperor’s angels are recruiting new ones. After being rejected, this experience will help Anconi Ben in his future priest career, proving that he is indeed a loyal believer of the God Emperor.

What if he is selected?

Don’t be ridiculous, the probability is too small.

Among hundreds of thousands of carefully selected young people, the regiment only recruits fifty people. How low is this probability?

It’s just a formality.

But this is what his parents think. Young Anconi wants to succeed too much.

Becoming an angel of the Emperor would not only allow him to practice his family’s long-standing belief in the Emperor, but also allow him to escape from the boring religious scriptures, become the hero he admired most since childhood, and pursue the glorious honor he longed for.

And he did gradually show his amazing talent during the training and selection. Although he was not the best, he at least had the hope of success.

However, he was ultimately eliminated.

In the last and most important competition, he ranked only over 70. This was of course a very high score among all the candidates, but compared to the few places available for the Phoenix, there was still a certain gap.

This gap was a world of difference.

His next fate should be that his dream would be shattered, and he would return to his home, and be fought over by various forces on the planet based on his excellent performance in the Phoenix selection. After all, even if he was eliminated by the Phoenix, since he had this ranking, it proved that he was one of the most outstanding young people on the entire planet.

However, no one understood the pain in his heart.

However, in the end, a man wearing a skull helmet saved him.

Rizzo personally selected Anconi as a supplementary candidate to join the Phoenix.

That was almost the happiest day of his life.

But after joining the Phoenix, he found that many things were different from what he thought.

Space Marines do not live in glory every moment. Boring training is the norm.

Especially for recruits.

If it were just that, he could still bear it.

But Rizzo chose him to join the regiment as an additional member, not because of how good or strong his combat talent was. No matter how outstanding he is, it is only relative. If he is so good that he can be selected as an exception, he would not be ranked only in the seventies in the previous ranking.

Rizzo is the chief chaplain of the Phoenix Regiment. He wants to expand the number of chaplains in the regiment, and Anconi is the candidate he chose.

Before becoming a Phoenix, he had to bury his head in scriptures. After becoming a Phoenix, he still had to bury his head in scriptures. Isn’t this Phoenix in vain?

In the midst of resentment, the only reward he received was that he could occasionally practice with Rizzo in the arena for his good performance. At this time, Rizzo would finally put down his serious face as a teacher and sweat with him as a fighting brother.

He thought he could never go back.

Of course, he really couldn’t go back.

When he knew that the Phoenix was reborn in the Alliance, that his mentor Rizzo was still alive, and that Zhong Jihua ordered the team to deal with the new Phoenix, he imagined this scene.

Since he can’t go back, let me bury you with my own hands.

“Teacher Rizzo, you’re slowing down!”

Rizzo didn’t say a word, but just used the gravity staff to take on Anconi’s powerful slashes one after another.

Each of Anconi’s blows was accompanied by a sneer, and his emotions became more and more intense, and his eyes in the helmet had long been blood red. His movements were sharp and precise, and every swing of the battle axe carried the threat of death.

But Rizzo’s eyes remained calm. His movements were slow but steady. The gravity staff danced in his hands, as if it had its own rhythm.

“Teacher, your movements are still so old-fashioned.”

“Have you made no progress in these years?”

“Have you learned nothing from the nonsense of the false emperor?”

“That’s really pitiful. Why not believe in the Blood God! He will give you real power!”

Anconi mocked, and his axe brought gusts of wind, almost tearing the air.

He was almost toying with his opponent.

The power of the Blood God was boiling in his body. If he wanted, he could have chopped off Rizzo’s head with an axe.

He didn’t do that. He just opened the gravity staff again and again, leaving wounds on Rizzo’s body one after another, which satisfied his heart.

The next axe will cut off the teacher’s hand.

He thought so.

Suddenly, lightning flashed around Rizzo’s body!

The lightning gathered on the gravity staff, making this already heavy weapon even more terrifying.

Anconi sensed something was wrong, and his taunting stopped abruptly. He tried to speed up his attack, but it was too late. Rizzo’s counterattack finally came. He waved his scepter surrounded by lightning, as if a god had descended, with unstoppable power.

“This is…” A trace of fear flashed in Anconi’s eyes. He tried to block it with his battle axe, but the power of thunder seemed to be able to tear through all defenses.

Thunder erupted, and a hammer hit Anconi’s helmet directly. It was a power that could kill with one blow. The perfect combination of lightning and gravity instantly shattered Anconi’s helmet, followed by the shattering of his head.

Anconi’s body trembled a few times in the thunder, and then like a puppet with its strings cut, it slowly fell down and died.

The old priest was suppressed for the whole game, but it only took one counterattack to kill Anconi.

This was like a miracle.

The Star Warriors under conventional power armor have an insurmountable gap with the Terminator.

But Rizzo’s counterattack this time was with a force that even the Terminator captain could not react to or stop. The explosive thunder was even more deadly.

Rizzo was panting, but he could feel that the power rising in his body had not dissipated, but became stronger and stronger, so much so that the wound left by Anconi no longer hurt.

He looked back at Gu Hang, but saw that the governor behind him was still standing there, but the blue light in his eyes was even stronger.

Rizzo nodded slightly and pointed the gravity staff at another enemy.

It was not just him who brought the power of thunder in every move. Almost every phoenix was strengthened in the battle and showed this magical power.

Of course, it was Gu Hang who did it.

After the two sides entered close combat, it was no longer easy to use thunder spells to eliminate the enemy, so he did this instead.

On the one hand, he cut off the power of the evil god as much as possible, and on the other hand, he gave the power of thunder to the phoenixes.

After Anconi’s death, the situation on the battlefield was basically clear.

Although the phoenixes still had to pay a certain price, there was no suspense that they would kill all the ashes dead present.

Gu Hang, who had a little free time, finally increased his strength and stopped fighting with the warband wizard. The powerful psychic power instantly increased the output. The warband wizard standing behind him had his helmet goggles burst instantly, blood spurted out, and his huge body fell down.

After defeating another opponent, Gu Hang finally had time to focus all his energy on the third thing he had been doing: tearing open the curtain between the subspace and the real universe and sending more Heroic Warriors into the ‘Soul Spike’!
