Chapter 451, Death of the Ashes Dead

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

Really speaking, it must be at the level of a normal S-class psyker, which is only slightly worse than Gu Hang's normal level.

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

In this form, Gu Hang, who has almost reached Alpha level strength, can actually quickly defeat the war gang wizard.

He can strip the warband wizard of part of his connection to the Warp, rendering the Boon of Chaos ineffective; the weakened wizard then becomes nothing more than a toy in his hands.

But Gu Hang didn't do that.

Getting rid of a war gang wizard is not the first priority for Gu Hang.

He is currently doing at least three things at the same time, no matter which one is quite important.

In addition to contending with this powerful warband wizard, Gu Hang was also dealing with those renegade space warriors.

He seemed to be back in time.

Eliminating the Terminator team among the ashes of the dead is what Gu Hang wants to do.

At that time, he was always no match for Rizzo. Rizzo also took the trouble to correct his moves again and again.

Those terminators of the ashes of the dead are unavoidable in the current environment. Even if one person escapes, the person behind him cannot escape either.

Even on the ship, there are a considerable number of special operations elites from the 10th Brigade wearing feedback power armor. However, although they can pose a threat to the Space Marines, their combat effectiveness is far inferior. If they participate in the battle, they will also suffer huge casualties.

Gu Hangqi couldn't use the torrent of psychic energy to crush all the ashes of the dead who boarded the ship. The bodies of space warriors are powerful, and their souls have certain special characteristics. This comes from their bloodline and the essence of subspace that almost no one will admit, but Gu Hang can vaguely see a little bit.

But now, the distance between the two sides is very close, and a close fight is inevitable.

Moreover, he strongly expressed his wish to Gu Hang, the savior and loyalist of the battle group: the blades used to kill the ashes of the dead should preferably come from the Phoenix.

It would take a lot of effort to kill a single Space Marine with psionic powers, let alone two hundred veterans in one go.

But the Ashes of the Dead finally got to his face.

Not to mention sacrificing the phoenix, Gu Hang would be heartbroken even if he sacrificed the special operations elites of the 10th Brigade.

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

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

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

Especially those Terminator armors.

Every Phoenix space warrior, before becoming a space warrior, has been trained by Gu Hang's [Soldier Card] system and has been promoted to the T1 level. Based purely on combat experience and skills, he has reached the level of a normal space warrior.

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

"For the Emperor!" Priest Rizzo shouted, holding the gravity scepter, and rushed forward first.

If this team of a dozen Ash Dead Terminators, all elite veterans, really encountered each other at close range, it would really take many lives of the Phoenix to kill them.

During this process, in addition to the six Terminator veterans who were killed by Gu Hang, there were also a dozen renegade Space Marines who were dead in ashes and died under the blows of various long-range weapons.

It's normal. On the Phoenix's home planet, the reputation of the Phoenix is ​​certainly unmatched by anyone. Every piece of the Chapter's history, every warrior's heroic reputation, flows across the entire planet. Everyone on the Phoenix home planet grew up hearing such legends. It is normal for young people to have longings.

But this does not mean that Gu Hang will let his war groups and war gangs fight in single combat, as that would only increase losses.

This level is still not as good as the veterans, but the gap is definitely not twice the number, and they can't beat the opponent.

This helped the Phoenixes a lot during the shooting. Otherwise, facing a group of terminators with unusual tactical power armor in a narrow passage and lack of cover, the Phoenix will definitely suffer a big loss.

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

Six thunder spears were the deaths of six elite Terminator veterans.

Ankoni became completely excited.

Of course, in the communication between the two of them, combat training was not actually the mainstream. They were more in the church of the Chapter's flagship, studying the classics together and studying the emperor's subtle words and righteousness.

You don't have to.

He chose his target, the leader of the mutinous dead, Ankoni Ben.

It wouldn't matter if he wasn't here. Now that he's here, he will still take action personally to greatly reduce the Phoenix's casualties.

After the group of Terminators on the opposite side started charging, Gu Hang used extremely concentrated thunder spears to bombard the enemy.

However, it is relatively less laborious to use psychic energy to protect the phoenixes and summon psychic protection that is similar to an energy shield but is actually much more convenient.

However, the sacrifice will not be small.

The output of Terminator power armor is far stronger than conventional power armor.

The current number of Phoenixes has just recovered to 500 people. Can they defeat the Ashes dead on both sides of the numbers? That should be possible, even though the opponents are all veterans, and almost all of the Phoenix are new recruits. However, this new recruit of Phoenix is ​​different from what most people think.

Before departure, when Gu Hang conveyed the action instructions to Martins, the Phoenix Chapter leader burst out with strong subjective initiative. He mobilized almost all the mobile power of the entire battle group and devoted himself to this battle.

In the past, he had sparred with Priest Rizzo in the Chapter Arena more than once.

When the two sides were only a few hundred meters away, at the charging speed of the Space Marines, and in the space of just a few breaths, Gu Hang launched six thunder spears.

He was born into a family of state priests on the Chapter's home planet. He was originally supposed to follow the same path as his father and ancestors, becoming a respected believer in the world who spreads the gospel of the Emperor, and became the spokesperson of the God-Emperor.

He can still kill a Terminator with one hit.

And in another Phoenix recruitment, he signed up as a matter of course.

This is also supported by parents.

Shouldn't it? It is natural for the children of the God-Emperor’s priest to sign up when the God-Emperor’s Angels recruit new members. After losing the election, this experience will help Ankoni Ben in his subsequent priest career, proving that he is indeed a loyal believer of the God Emperor.

So what if you are chosen?
Don't be kidding, the probability is too small.

Among the hundreds of thousands of carefully selected young people, the war group only recruited fifty. How low is the probability?

Just going through the motions.

But that's what his parents thought. The young Ankeni wanted to succeed too much. Becoming the Emperor's Angel not only fulfills his family's long-standing belief in the God-Emperor, but also frees him from the boring religious texts, allowing him to become the hero he admires most since he was a child, allowing him to pursue his greatest pursuit. The glorious honor that we yearn for.

And he did gradually reveal his amazing talent during training and selection. Although not the best batch, at least there is hope for success.

However, he was ultimately defeated.

In the last and most important competition, he ranked only in the seventies. This is of course a very high score among all the candidates, but compared to the few spots available to Phoenix, there is still a certain gap.

This gap is a world of difference.

His next destiny should be to have his dream shattered and return to his home, relying on his excellent results in the Phoenix Selection to be competed by all forces on the planet. After all, even if the person was kicked off by the Phoenix, since he has this ranking, it also proves that he is 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 saves 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 Phoenix, he found that many things were different from what he thought.

Space warriors do not live in glory all the time. Boring training is the norm.

Especially new recruits.

If that was all, he could still bear it.

But Rizzo chose him as an additional addition to the battle group, not because of how good or strong his fighting talent was. No matter how outstanding he is, it's only relative. If it is really so powerful that it can be selected as an exception, then there will not be only about seventy people in the previous rankings.

Rizzo is the Chief Chaplain of the Phoenix Chapter. He wants to expand the number of Chapter Chaplains, and Anconi is the candidate he selected.

Before becoming a phoenix, he had to bury his head in the scriptures. After becoming a phoenix, he still had to bury his head in the scriptures. Wasn’t this phoenix a waste of time?
In his resentment, the only reward he got was that he could occasionally spar with Pastor Rizzo in the arena because of his good behavior. At this time, Rizzo will finally put down his serious professor face and sweat with him as a battle brother.

He thought he would never go back.

Of course, there is really no going back.

Knowing that the Phoenix was reborn in the alliance, knowing that his mentor Rizzo was still alive, and knowing that Zhong Jihua ordered the team to deal with the new Phoenix, he had imagined this scene.

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

"Teacher Rizzo, your movements have slowed down!"

Rizzo didn't say a word, but struggled to use the gravity scepter to receive Ankoni's powerful and heavy blows one after another.

Every blow Ankoni made was accompanied by a sarcastic comment. His emotions were getting higher and higher, and the eyes in his helmet were already blood red. His movements were sharp and precise, and every swing of his ax carried the threat of death.

But Rizzo's eyes were always calm, and although his movements were slow, they were still steady. The gravity scepter danced in his hand as if it had its own rhythm.

"Teacher, your movements are still so old-fashioned."

"Have you made no progress at all over the years?"

"Did you learn nothing from the false emperor's nonsense?"

"That's really pitiful. Why not believe in the Blood God! He will give you real power!"

Ankoni taunted, his ax bringing up gusts of wind that threatened to tear the air apart.

He was almost toying with his opponent.

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

He didn't do this, he just opened the gravity scepter again and again, leaving wounds after wounds on Rizzo's body, which made his heart satisfied.

With the next blow of the ax, cut off the teacher's hand.

He thought so.

Suddenly, lightning flashed around Rizzo's body!
The lightning gathered on the Gravity Scepter, making this already heavy weapon even more terrifying.

Ankeni felt something was wrong, his taunting stopped abruptly, and he tried to speed up the offensive, but it was already too late. Rizzo's counterattack finally arrived. He waved the thunder-shrouded scepter as if a god had descended with unstoppable power.

"This is..." Ankoni's eyes flashed with panic. He tried to block with his battle ax, but the power of thunder seemed to be able to tear apart all defenses.

Thunder exploded, and a hammer hit Ankoni's helmet directly. It was the power of a single blow, the perfect combination of lightning and gravity, which instantly shattered Ankoni's helmet, followed by the shattering of his head.

Ankoni's body trembled a few times in the thunder, and then like a puppet with its strings cut off, it slowly fell down, no longer alive.

The old priest was suppressed and beaten for a whole game, but he only fought back once and killed Ankeni.

It's like a miracle.

There is an insurmountable gap between Space Marines under conventional power armor and Terminators.

But Rizzo's counterattack came with a power that even the Terminator captain couldn't react to or stop. The explosive thunder is even more deadly.

Rizzo was breathing heavily, but he could feel that the power rising in his body had not dissipated, but had become stronger and stronger, so much so that the wounds left by Ankoni no longer hurt.

He turned back to look at Gu Hang, only to see the Governor behind him, still standing where he was, but the blue light between his eyes became brighter.

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

He was not the only one who carried the power of thunder in every move. Almost every Phoenix was strengthened during the battle and showed this magical power.

Of course it was Gu Hang’s doing.

After the two sides entered into close combat, it was no longer easy to use the thunder spell to destroy the enemy, so he turned to this.

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

After Ankeni's death, the situation on the battlefield was basically clear.

Although the Phoenix still had to pay a certain price, there was no suspense as they killed all the Ashes Dead present.

And Gu Hang, who had a little free hand, finally increased his efforts and stopped fighting with the war gang wizard. The powerful psychic energy instantly enhances the output. The warband wizard standing at the back had his helmet visor burst instantly, blood spurting out, and his huge body collapsed.

After defeating another opponent, Gu Hang finally had the time to focus all his energy on the third thing he had been doing: tearing apart the curtain between subspace and the real universe, and bringing more heroic spirits into the world. Soldiers, send them to the 'Spike of the Souls'!
