Chapter 695, Death of the Overlord, Battle of Rheaduches (Ten)

The Hive Overlord was hit by Thor's hammer again, and it hit him on the head with full force!

The force of this blow was extremely strong, only slightly less than the force of the previous Black Cross Champion's charge.

Several teeth flew out of its mouth; an eyeball was blown out; the entire solid skull shell was slightly deformed.

However, this was still not a fatal injury.

The Hive Overlord, whose head was dizzy, was immediately attacked by Leroy and another champion. But at this time, it was still able to swing its four giant blades and force them back.

The third champion wanted to swing the Thunder Hammer again.

But this time, he took a risk.

Seeing that the Hive Overlord was already in a miserable state, he tried to kill him while he was sick, but a tail needle came much faster than expected.

During the swing of the hammer, the champion who couldn't dodge was pierced through the chest by the tail needle.

The vitality of the Space Marines is tenacious, but it also depends on what enemy they are facing. A bullet or a knife that destroyed the heart and lungs was a serious injury, but it was difficult for a Space Marine with two hearts and three lungs to die on the spot. They could often maintain their combat effectiveness for a long time, and even if they were properly treated by a pharmacist after the war, it was common for them to survive and return to the battlefield.

But it was different when facing the tail piercing of the Hive Overlord. The moment the armor and the body were penetrated together, there was an explosive force that turned the entire torso of the Space Marine in the armor into a ball of mud.

The thunder hammer fell to the ground weakly.

Leluwa's eyes widened with anger, and he took a step forward, crossing the distance he had just been forced to retreat. The Holy Leader Sword slashed down from top to bottom, directly cutting off the tail that had not been pulled out.

A lot of blood spurted out from the broken end, and the Hive Overlord roared and intended to launch a counterattack against Leluwa.

The scene once again fell into a situation where Leluwa needed to deal with four serrated bone blades with a single sword.

But this time, the situation was much better. Le Luwa felt that the attack of the Hive Overlord was obviously not as sharp as it was at the beginning.

The heavy bleeding caused by the tail being cut off, the shattering of the chitin armor on the back and the damage to the internal skeleton, the dizziness and chaos caused by the heavy hammer on the head... all these combined made the Hive Overlord's combat effectiveness no longer as strong as it was in its heyday.

Although the pressure was still great, it was not as miserable as it was at the beginning when it was overwhelmed and could not breathe and was about to be defeated at any time.

The remaining Black Cross champion took advantage of the moment when the two of them were fighting with swords and seized an opportunity to stab the Hive Overlord's back wound with the power sword.

The Hive Overlord turned around and was about to give him a sword, but Le Luwa came up again and cut off the arm that the Hive Overlord had cut back at the cost of cutting through the thickest shoulder armor.

With one hand cut off, the Hive Overlord's combat effectiveness dropped again.

Although he turned sideways and used one sword to deal with the Black Cross Champion and two swords to deal with Le Luwa, he did not give humans the opportunity to bypass his back. However, he himself was in a state of decline and was not as powerful as before.

If this continues, Le Luwa has a high probability of seizing an opportunity later. Either kill him with one sword or cut off his arm, which is also good.

However, in silence, Le Luwa suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis!

He suddenly gave up the attack and retreated suddenly, but saw that the ground where he was standing suddenly collapsed and a snake worm rushed out.

If he didn't hide, he would be in big trouble.

But a snake worm alone is nothing. After it appeared, it was killed by a precise sniper bomb shot from a distance the next second.

The snake worm is considered the elite combat power of the insect swarm, but in the current level of battle, it can be killed by long-range firearms, which is really not good enough.

But it doesn't matter, the snake worm is just a tunnel digger. The executioner tyrant that jumped out right after the snake worm is the key character.

This thing is the top creature in the hive army - the top in the conventional sense. It is almost at the same level as the hive tyrant. The only difference is that the hive tyrant is a warrior commander, while the executioner tyrant is a specialized and agile version of the top hunter.

Its frontal combat power is somewhat different from that of the hive tyrant, but it is more agile, faster, more insidious, and has a set of concealment and ambush characteristics and preferences. If it really comes to fighting, who is more terrifying.

This executioner tyrant rushed towards Le Luwa like crazy.

It is true that it is aggressive, but Le Luwa is a top master, not an ordinary champion. However, after three or five reunions, the executioner tyrant was killed by the Holy Leader Sword.

However, its goal has been achieved.

Le Luwa was more or less intercepted for a moment.

When he got rid of the blocker, he saw that the Hive Overlord was actually running back!

The cunning Hive Overlord is not something that must be fought to death. Seeing that the situation is not good, retreating a wave will not have any psychological pressure at all.

Furthermore, it is possible to jump back to the hatching pool. It will take a short period of time to repair the wounds and broken limbs on the body.

By then, all the previous efforts will be wasted.

Not only Leluwa can realize this, but another Black Cross Champion can also.

He rushed forward and tried to stop it.

But just as Leluwa killed the executioner tyrant, the Hive Overlord also killed the Black Cross Champion.

However, he was slower than Leluwa, so when Leluwa rushed to the front, his battle brother had just died, and the Overlord had not had time to draw out his battle blade.

Another battle brother died tragically, but Leluwa was no longer able to grieve. Seizing this opportunity, the Holy Leader Sword cut off another Overlord's arm. Then, the swift sword slashed and rolled towards the Hive Overlord without stopping for a moment.

The Hive Overlord tried to force Leluwa back several times, but failed.

The Black Cross Marshal tried his best to prevent the other party from running away.

The Hive Overlord would not have the emotion of fear, but its cold-blooded brain still analyzed that evacuation now was the best solution. So, after a confrontation, it continued to flee regardless of anything, even at the cost of giving up its back.

Leluwa certainly would not miss this opportunity and strode after him, but he saw that the Overlord half turned sideways in an instant, and a bone blade was already reversed and stabbed back.

A surprise attack!

Le Luwa, who had been chasing too hard, could no longer dodge.

But in a split second, he made up his mind. Not only did he not retreat, but his steps became even more determined!

The bone blade pierced his abdomen, and a huge force exploded in his body, trying to destroy his organs from the inside; but his sword had already fallen, cutting off this arm.

In the calculations of the Hive Overlord, Le Luwa was not expected to be so resolute.

It had no way to end Le Luwa, so it could only turn around completely and hastily raise its last hand to block, but it was undoubtedly cut off again.

But the two struggles made the distance between the two very close, almost face to face.

The Hive Overlord opened its mouth wide and bit Le Luwa's head, which was close at hand.

Once bitten, the bloody mouth was enough to wrap the marshal's entire head and bite it off.

However, at the critical moment, Le Luwa tilted his head slightly, so that the giant mouth could only bite the junction of his shoulder and neck.

Although there was a thick shoulder armor to protect it, it was also bitten through by the sharp teeth. He could feel that the left half of his neck was bitten off.

Fatal injury.

But at this time, the Holy Leader Sword drew a half-moon arc from bottom to top, completely cutting off the head of the Hive Overlord that was biting on his neck.

Le Luwa, whose eyes were black, could not hold on and fell to the ground. But what made him close his eyes was that the Hive Overlord, whose limbs, forearms, tail, and head were all broken, also fell to the ground.

...

When Le Luwa opened his eyes again, he found that he could not move at all.

It was not that he felt restrained, but that he could not feel any limbs below his chin at all, so of course he could not move.

Even his chin seemed to be gone.

He could feel that he should be completely immersed in the nutrient solution now. Through the transparent cover of the incubator, he could see a group of people in Mechanic robes busying around outside.

The Mechanic priests discovered his awakening and exchanged ideas with each other. Some turned around and left, probably to report to their superiors, while others entered some instructions at the operating table next to them.

Leroy felt a numbness in the back of his head, as if he had received an electric current, and then he seemed to be able to speak.

Of course, he didn't speak like a normal human, because his vocal cords were gone.

The sound was made by an artificial organ connected to his back. The neural instructions were converted into electrical signals, which were emitted through the speaker next to the incubator, and also gave feedback to the brain nerves, allowing him to hear what he was saying.

External sounds would also be heard by him in a similar way.

"Marshal Leroy, can you hear it?"

"Yes." Although he was a little uncomfortable, he still mastered the skill of "speaking".

"You finally woke up... I'm sorry, the situation was very critical at the time, and we had to remove a lot of things from your body, but please believe that this is what we had to do to keep you alive. Although the success rate is very low, I'm glad to see you survive..."

Leluwa interrupted the other party who was constantly talking about his situation and asked the most concerned question: "How is the battle going?"

He has not lost his memory and has not forgotten the last scene before waking up.

"The situation is complicated, I can't tell you more. But at least your life is saved now. Wait a minute, we have notified the superiors, and someone will come to see you soon. Before that, let me introduce you to your current situation and the various methods we used to save you."

This member of the Mechanicus, who seems to be a ruling bishop, seems quite enthusiastic and even excited.

For their team, it took a lot of effort to save Leluwa who was sent to the sky at that time, and used many unproven, very risky, and even quite taboo methods.

But fortunately, they succeeded.

This is a very good case. It can be used as a topic in the future and added to the resume when he is promoted to the main occupation sage.

Leroy listened silently.

He did not understand and did not care about the many specific technical details that the ruling bishop kept mentioning.

However, he also roughly understood his current physical condition.

As the other party said, most of his body was gone.

His chin and the left half of his neck were completely destroyed and had to be removed. He was replaced with an iron chin, which was sewn at the junction of his back of the head and neck. His bitten left half of his neck was also replaced with an artificial blood vessel.

Only the right half of his chest was left, and the left half was cut off, leaving only one lung and one heart.

His abdominal cavity was completely removed.

The loss of the chest and abdominal cavities made his limbs, which should have been intact, lack the connection to the torso, leaving only the left arm, and the rest were also removed.

In other words, his original body now only has the upper half of the head, the right half of the neck, the right half of the chest, and a right hand.

The rest is gone.

Can he continue to live as a warrior like this?

Maybe.

Thinking of this, he "heard" footsteps.

A Terminator wearing the Black Crusaders paint and the marshal's logo walked in accompanied by several guards. He stood in front of the incubator, took off his helmet and handed it to the guard next to him.

That was Leroy's old friend, Marshal Xi Rui of the Fourth Fleet.

Xi Rui's expression was quite complicated, with both the relief of seeing his old friend survive and the grief of seeing him in such a miserable state.

"How is the battle going?" Le Luwa asked the question he was most concerned about first.

"Victory." Xi Rui gave an affirmative answer, "Your last assault was effective. After the Hive Overlord was beheaded, all the Zerg units in the RM008 nest were disabled, and the Hive lost its protection. The remaining troops placed bombs and blew up the Hive. Your remaining guards brought out the bodies of many combat brothers, including you, and urgently called several spacecraft to send you back to orbit."

"Luckily, at least you passed through the interception network. Now, this is the flagship of the coalition-Jinguan. With the support of Commander-in-Chief Gu, many ruling bishops of the Aramita Sect, the Mars Sect, and the Mingyang Sect formed an expert group to save your life."

RM008 was Le Luwa's original strategic goal.

Hearing that it was finally blown up, Le Luwa's biggest worry was put down.

No matter how miserable he is now, at least, the battle he fought, as Xi Rui said, was won.

But the battle at that time was not just about the hive.

"What about the front battlefield?"

"At least we didn't lose."

"What do you mean?"

"Your actions to kill the hive overlord actually had an impact on the front battlefield. Many Zerg units were also disabled. Our troops caused a lot of casualties at this stage. However, the most important biological titans were still normal, delaying the time to take over the remaining disabled Zergs who were still alive."

"But after suffering huge casualties, they also retreated. Now, the ground battle is still going on. Commander-in-Chief Salilius and Captain Martins have already brought their respective troops to the ground. I was going to set off too. If you woke up a few hours later, I should have been on the ground too."

"Next, you should take good care of your injuries. The next battle will be left to us."

The description of recuperating is quite outrageous for Leluwa now, but Xi Rui can only say this.

"I'm going to enter the Fearless Iron Coffin. If the operation is quick, maybe I can still catch up with the subsequent battles."

The voice translated through the telegraph signal was cold and emotionless, but Xi Rui could hear the determination in it.

Watched the finals, and then rushed to finish the manuscript, so now...

A little disappointed...

Faker is admirable.
