Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes.

Chapter 63 Corpse Tide and the Nest

The team is still moving forward, even though the number of carrion corpses and monsters ahead is beyond count, the rolling charge of champion swordsmen from the Gray Knights can still cut a wound severely in the tide of corpses every time.

Because the champion swordsmen have been assimilated by Calvin's psychic power for a long time, their psychic attacks with a trace of order power are like a hot sharp blade placed on a high mountain made of solidified fat. These low-level carrion corpses can skip the destruction of the body and directly disintegrate the soul of the opponent.

Calvin's soul is receiving new supplements from the original level every moment. Although the quality is low, it is better than the large number.His psychic energy became more active, and the light of order in the spiritual world became more dazzling.

The battle seemed to be going smoothly, but Calvin was not optimistic.

The battle is still going on, and as the spearheads of the team continue to cut in, the pressure of the entire team has actually shifted to the rear of the team.

The demons, who couldn't match the champion swordsmen wearing Terminator power armor in the front, naturally turned their attention to the interceptors behind the team.

In terms of defensive attributes, they are far inferior to the thick and reliable terminators, and they are also required to retreat at the echelon to break the rear for the entire team.Faced with waves of corpses in such a difficult battle, even though the interceptors have been battle-tested, they still inevitably start to suffer battle damage:
A skinny but pot-bellied carrion, relying on the guidance of the wizard hidden in the corpse group, quietly approached the interceptors' line of defense under the cover of the same kind.

The wizard was using his dirty spiritual power to suppress the actions of these corpses that were left with only instincts. He was not in a hurry to let the trump card in his hand charge, but chose to wait for the opponent's next position change when the firepower was slightly weaker. With the cooperation of other wizards, he exploded into trouble.

In just a few breaths, the team in front once again completed a gouging attack on the tide of corpses, opening up a new space.Correspondingly, the interceptors began to prepare to retreat during a cross-screen.

The wizard who had been waiting for a long time after the tide of corpses took advantage of this opportunity and suddenly exerted force, rushing towards a gray knight who was in a very poor position and was about to transfer.

The Gray Knights are extremely experienced.He gave up retreating as soon as he noticed the opponent's energy fluctuations, but chose to stay where he was and wait for the cooperation of his teammates.

And his teammates obviously had a plan for such an accident. They immediately separated three people to stop, turned around and gave fire support to the dragged comrade.

He himself did not sit still, but immediately pushed his own defense to the extreme, in order to seek opportunities that might exist after the defense was successful.

The inner psychic energy rushes along the etheric cable in the power armor to the oath shield device on the left shoulder of the armor. The shining light is emitted from this small shield-shaped device and then expands rapidly, and finally becomes a shield that can protect his whole body. The upper and lower psychic barriers.

At the same time, the imprints of purity inlaid everywhere on the Gray Knight's power armor seemed to sense the impending desecration, and began to spontaneously melt and burn to provide the Gray Knight with more protection.

The first wave of psionic attacks disappeared invisible under the protection of the shield and the mark of purity, but what followed was the self-destruct attack of at least ten rotting corpses carrying curses.

While bearing the pressure of the tide of corpses, the comrades provided fire support for him as much as possible. Most of the self-explosive corpses were killed on the way to the charge.

However, three pot-bellied rotting corpses carrying a vicious curse finally passed through the fire support of the Gray Knight's teammates and rushed to the Gray Knight's side.But only one rotting corpse was killed by the gray knight in time.

"Bang~! Bang~!"

Following two low-pitched explosions as if a bladder had been burst, a large amount of green pus and filth containing the power of blasphemy sprayed the Gray Knight who had never had time to dodge along with the explosion.

After this, the spiritual energy shield, which had only a glimmer of light left on him, was completely broken.

Take advantage of his illness and kill him.The rotten flies that had been hovering in the sky rushed towards the defenseless Gray Knight like a black cloud, wrapping him into a humanoid mass on the black surface.

And this gray knight could only use the last bit of spiritual energy in his body to release a weak shock wave, making the flying flies stagnate for a while, and then pounced on them again, submerging the gray knight in the black swarm.

Such a complicated battle situation was only a momentary event when it actually happened. At this time, Calvin, who noticed the abnormality, had just rushed to the middle of the team from the front, and was still more than ten meters away from this comrade in arms.

Calvin, whose eyes were tearing apart, raised his right hand without a teacher at this moment, and the powerful platinum power gathered and formed instantly in his lightning claws.

He pointed his hand at the gray knight in the distance, and a powerful shock wave penetrated and evaporated the multiple demons that were blocked between them, and hit the gray knight who didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

The black insect swarm was wiped out under the impact of this energy, leaving only the unconscious warrior lying on the spot.

Calvin rushed to his side, grabbed his body and carried it on his shoulders, turned his head and stared fiercely at the wizard leader who was slowly retreating in the crowd of corpses after his miss.

He carried the body of his comrades on his shoulders, joined up with the remaining three gray knights, and fought all the way back to the front line.After handing over the gray knight to the arbitrator, he turned around to look for the trace of the other party, but the other party had already disappeared in the tide of corpses.

Calvin understood the opponent's intentions, and they were doing everything possible to delay the Gray Knights.

And the Interceptors are well aware of this.If it wasn't for Calvin's forceful rescue just now, I am afraid that this unconscious comrade could only be given up after the fire support from the three gray knights failed.

This is not ruthless, but they clearly know their mission.From the first moment they set foot on this battlefield, everyone in this team has the consciousness of being abandoned.

Since the Inquisition was able to summon the Gray Knights so far as the executors of this mission, the pollution of Chaos must have endangered the entire galaxy and even the sector.

Compared with such imperial interests, apart from Calvin, there is no one in this team who cannot be sacrificed or abandoned.

Calvin stopped walking to the front of the battle line, he began to wander behind the entire rear-broken squad under the fire support of the interceptors.

It is his greatest wish at this time to bring back as many comrades-in-arms as possible to Titan...

Another hour passed, and in front of the team, the charge of the champion swordsmen continued.

The obstruction of the tide of corpses also reached its peak, Calvin's spiritual power was no longer retained, and he led the whole team to approach the target with difficulty against the tide of corpses.

"This should be the last wave." An intuitive thought slipped through his mind.

Sure enough, when Calvin and his party finally reached a position less than 100 meters away from the hive capital's entrance, the tide of corpses seemed to have reached the edge of their range of activities and faded surprisingly.

At a certain moment, the tide of corpses stagnated and faded suddenly, leaving only a place of corpses and gray knights standing in the shadow of the towering hive city.

The sudden silence made Calvin a little uncomfortable.He turned his head and looked at the empty and gloomy hive capital freight elevator entrance, as if there was something more terrifying entrenched in it.

Or, this hive itself is a life-swallowing monster.

　Thanks to Laowen and Yuzi for the rewards.
