Warhammer, but Emperor's Chosen

The Zerg Overlord let out a shrill roar, and terrifying psychic energy gathered in front of it to form an invisible shield.

Instantly, the laser cannon exploded the moment it hit it. The sweeping heat wave and shock wave enveloped dozens of Tyranid warriors around, and the overwhelming smoke and dust made it almost impossible to see the situation on the battlefield.

But when the smoke and dust cleared, the Zerg Overlord was still standing on the battlefield, unharmed!

Thanks to the will of the hive, this monster's psychic power is not only incredibly powerful, but also its physical body!

Fortunately, the Zerg Overlord was unharmed by the turbolaser cannon, but the Tyrant Guards and Tyranid Warriors around it were vaporized in the first place by the high temperature generated by the explosion.

Also thanks to the rescue of the Thunderhawk gunboat, Calgar's consciousness finally returned to normal from the chaos.

He half-crouched on the ground, pressing his power fist against the ground, breathing heavily.

boom!

He heard the Thunderhawk gunship's turbines whirring behind him, followed by the sound of a heavy landing.

Karga turned around and saw a familiar face.

That was Luft Huron, Chapter Master of the Astral Claws.

Next to Huron was a wandering merchant wearing golden power armor.

Calgar heard the dull thud of more power armor landing on the ground. Dozens of Space Marines in silver power armor and a team of battle sisters landed in the center of the battlefield to support the trapped Honor Guard members.

"Kalga, my brother, how are you injured?" Huron asked calmly, staring at the Zerg Overlord rushing towards him.

"The bleeding has stopped."

Karga spat out a mouthful of blood foam, and the scarlet blood splashed on the charred ground and quickly solidified.

His internal organs were probably shattered as the psychic spear had pierced his heart and a lung.

But it doesn't get in the way.

Just a fatal injury!

Karga swallowed the sweet taste in his mouth, propped up the ground with his power fist and slowly stood up.

Across from them, the Zerg Overlord was still roaring, but there was no Tyranid warrior standing beside him anymore, and the endless Zerg tide was temporarily blocked by the firepower of the Thunderhawk gunship.

Now, the Zerg Overlord is the isolated and helpless one!

Under the protection of a large number of Space Marines, the two chapter masters began to charge towards the Zerg Overlord. They will end the war here!

Chapter 52: The Overlord of the Zerg: Damn, there’s a cheating dog!

boom!

The two chapter masters, one on the left and one on the right, each wielded a huge power fist and power claw to launch a swift attack on the Zerg Overlord.

There is no need for words, their tacit cooperation is as tacit as that of comrades who have fought side by side for many years.

When Huron's power claws blocked the bone blade that the Zerg Overlord was roaring and chopping down, Calgar's power fist also hit the Zerg Overlord hard, knocking the bone blade in its hand away.

When the Zerg Overlord swung his bone blade high at Calgar, the middle door was wide open, and the hot melt gun hanging on Huron's left arm also took the opportunity to fire. The hot melt beam turned the surrounding air into a scorching heat wave and accurately hit the shoulder of the Zerg Overlord.

Although the chitinous carapace of the Zerg Overlord is incredibly thick, all beings are equal under the melta gun!

The explosion of steam filled the air with a burnt smell. The right shoulder of the Zerg Overlord was melted into boiling steam by the hot melt beam, and the arm connected to the shoulder with flesh and blood fell to the ground with a snap.

The Zerg Overlord who had lost both arms was furious. He roared once again and let out a terrifying psychic scream. The terrifying psychic energy even made Calgar and Huron, who originally wanted to press on the victory, dazed for a moment and failed to make up for the damage in the first time.

But the Zerg Overlord would not miss the opportunity. He raised his only remaining bone blade high and chopped it towards Huron's head, and the other arm that had lost its bone blade also stabbed Calgar's heart with its sharp claws!

Whether it was Kalgar or Huron, their power armor was unable to withstand the claws and bone blades of the Zerg Overlord.

The victory or defeat of this battle will ultimately belong to it!

boom! !

A ball of blue plasma as hot as a miniature solar flare shot towards the Swarm Overlord from behind. The Swarm Overlord, who was concentrating on killing the two chapter leaders, had no time to dodge and was hit.

Under normal circumstances, one plasma shot is far from enough to kill the Swarm Overlord, and it is even difficult to hurt it.

But unfortunately, the power of this plasma is only a little bit strong.

When the blue plasma ball hit the hideous head of the Zerg Overlord, in a violent explosion, the scorching heat and the shock wave of the explosion completely "melted" its head, and the black shell on its back was also blown to pieces.

When Calgar came to his senses, the Zerg Overlord's claws just stopped on his chest.

The tip of the sharp claw had already pierced his power claw, but stopped just before it was about to destroy his heart.

Even someone as strong as Karga had his pupils shrink slightly.

One of his hearts had already stopped beating, and if the remaining one was also destroyed, even the most outstanding pharmacist of the Ultramarines would probably find it difficult to save him.

But luckily.

This did not happen after all, as the Zerg Overlord's attack missed by just an inch.

But it was this one inch that caused it to fail. A slight error can lead to a huge difference!

Snapped!

Huron expressionlessly removed the bone blade that was on his neck and had already cut his skin.

Use the huge power claw to pierce the body of the Zerg Overlord, pull out its internal organs, and push it gently.

The Zerg Overlord, who had long lost his life, fell to the ground with a loud bang. His huge body even caused the ground to tremble when it fell.

With the death of the Swarm Overlord.

The swarm of insects immediately became chaotic and began to attack the human positions irrationally.

Although such an offensive was extremely crazy, it was not fierce at all, and could not even pose much threat to the human line.

Calgar nodded slightly to Noah, who also silently put down the plasma gun.

Although he did not intentionally take the head, he did wait until Calgar and Huron were in danger before shooting.

Only when a hero appears at a critical moment can his importance be highlighted, right?

"Captain!"

White's voice exclaimed from Noah's communication beads, "The Hive Fleet is retreating! Repeat, the Hive Fleet is retreating!"

Noah immediately looked at Calga and Huron and said seriously:

"The Hive Fleet is trying to escape!"

Calgar's expression froze, and he immediately gave the order:

"Order the fleet to pursue the Tyranid fleet immediately. Never let the aliens leave Macragge!"

He was already well aware of the threat posed by the Zerg, even though Macragge had already summoned thousands of Space Marines, and the Imperial fleet assembled above Macragge was the largest gathering in ten thousand years.

But even so, Macragge was still forcibly landed by the Zerg fleet.

Not only did the fleet in orbit suffer heavy losses, but he himself almost died at the hands of the Zerg Overlord. If the remnants of these aliens escape Macragge, all the surrounding worlds will suffer!

He must destroy them in Macragge at all costs!

The Thunderhawk gunship quickly took off, carrying Noah and the two chapter leaders back into space.

And when Noah and the two chapter masters appeared on the bridge of the Stars at the same time, the mortal officers in the bridge suddenly tensed up with nervousness.

"White, make contact with the surviving fleet, broadcast on all frequencies!"

"Communication established."

Noah had just given the order when White responded immediately.

As soon as the communication was established, Officer Andal, who had returned to his ship, immediately spoke:

"Sir Noah, the Hyrkania will continue to be under your command!"

"The Baptism of Fire will hand over command to the Stars." Sergeant Baltis of the Doomsday Eagle Regiment said solemnly.

On the tactical panel, the logo of the Stars was changed to flagship again.

Noah looked towards his command throne but did not sit on it immediately.

Karga immediately understood his concerns and his face became serious:

"Sir Noah, you will command the fleet, I am just a witness!"

He had not commanded the space battle from the beginning, so naturally he would not seize the command at such a critical moment. Although he was the Lord of Macragge, Noah, who had experienced the entire process, obviously had more say in the space battle than any of them.

The two strike cruisers were willing to follow his command, not just because of him and Huron. Apparently, in the previous space battle, the Stars had served as the flagship of the fleet and led them to achieve extraordinary results.

Huron patted Noah's shoulder encouragingly:

"Go, Sir Noah, and lead us to victory in this war!"

Noah nodded heavily, as if he felt some kind of great responsibility, and walked towards his command throne step by step with heavy steps.

However, it does not.

Noah could actually have let the Thunderhawk gunboat take them to their respective flagships, but he specifically boarded the same Thunderhawk gunboat with the two chapter leaders just to take them to his ship.

As for the attitudes of Calgar and Huron, he had actually expected them.

None of them had actually participated in the previous space battles, and even Huron only symbolically participated in the orbital defense of Macragge in the final stage. Professional matters should be left to professionals, and if it was a ground battle or a boarding battle, they were absolute experts.

But when it comes to space battles, especially space battles against Tyranids, Noah, who has killed more than 40 hive motherships with a single ship, is an expert!

Chapter 53: The Battle with Circe

While Noah and his men were fighting the Zerg Overlord on the ground battlefield, the battle in space was also continuing.

Thanks to the re-opening of the Galtan Star Fortress and the intensive firepower of the giant laser array in the Polar Fortress, the losses of the Hive Fleet continued to increase. When Tyran left the planet's orbit, the size of the Hive Fleet was much smaller than before, and the two fleets combined only had less than 200,000 biological ships.

Although the Zerg Fleet suffered heavy losses, the losses on the human side were equally significant.

The Combined Fleet, which once had more than 200 battleships of various levels, now had less than 80 battleships left, and was even smaller than any of the original battle groups.

If there is anything to be thankful for, it is probably that the proportion of battleships and battle barges among the surviving capital ships is relatively high. Relying on the powerful void shield array, their chances of survival are much higher than those of cruisers and strike cruisers.

The advantage is that their firepower and defense are much higher than cruisers, but the disadvantage is that their maneuverability is not as good as cruisers and frigates.

If it is a defensive battle, the battleship's powerful firepower can easily destroy large swarms of Zerg fleets.

If they wanted to intercept the Tyranid fleet, the speed of the battleships and battle barges would be somewhat slow. Although they could still catch up with the Hive Fleet, it would inevitably waste a lot of time.

Therefore, Noah did not wait for the rest of the fleet to assemble, but instead led more than a dozen cruisers under his command to pursue the Tyron fleet.

"Tyron!"

The bird fortune teller shouted a warning.

Noah stared at the tactical panel, the dense red dots made his scalp tingle.

Tens of thousands of Tyranid bio-ships, led by the Hive Mothership, are launching a counterattack against them, trying to split and encircle their vanguard.

"Go straight through!"

Noah gave the order without hesitation, "Leave these Tyranids to the follow-up fleet to deal with. Don't waste time with them. Our goal is to intercept the main force of the Tyranids!"

This Hive Fleet was obviously a bait sent by the Hive Mind to hold them back, and Noah certainly would not make such a low-level mistake. With a faster speed than the Tyranid Fleet, the Imperial Fleet completely ignored the obstruction of the Tyranid Fleet and broke through the Tyranid defense line.

Even during this process, the Nova Cannon on the bow of the Stars managed to find time to blow up a Hive Mothership!

By the time Terran realized something was wrong and wanted to chase after him, it was too late.

The follow-up troops have arrived and quickly engaged in a fierce battle with this Tyranid fleet.

Huron and Calgar stood next to the command throne and did not interfere with Noah's decision.

Calgar's expression was serious and one couldn't tell what he was really thinking, but Huron's face showed undisguised admiration.

Leading a dozen cruisers to pursue the Hive Fleet, the Ronin Trader's style of action is obviously quite radical. Many conservative imperial generals may have complaints, but Huron thinks there is nothing wrong with this!

It's time to be a little more radical!

How can being a Space Marine not be radical?

If the Rogue Trader wasn't a little old, Huron really wanted to arrange an operation for him.

Soon, near the outermost gas planet Circe in the Macragge system, Noah's fleet finally caught up with Tyran's fleet. Although the Hive Fleet was already at the end of its strength, it still had more than 100,000 biological ships, at least tens of thousands times the number of the Imperial Fleet.

But Noah was not afraid at all, and immediately ordered the fleet to form a sharp sword to pierce the heart of the Tyranid fleet - even if it was just to delay time, they had to intercept the Zerg fleet here at the risk of being annihilated!

The space battle that broke out on Circe was more brutal than any previous space battle with the Tyranids.
