Chapter 1112: Imperial Guards Open the Sea of Insects
The roar that exploded in the communication channel was like thunder, echoing in the cabins of every Imperial warship.
"The swarm is collapsing! Counterattack! Counterattack at all costs!"
Captain Valoris of the Imperial Guards stood in front of the hatch of the boarding torpedo, his figure illuminated by the red warning light like a golden statue.
Every inch of the finely crafted power armor shone with divine light, and the ancient holy emblem of the Emperor on the shoulder armor was still clearly visible in the dim cabin.
He slowly raised his right hand, and the guardian halberd inherited from the Great Crusade began to emit a low humming sound.
The armor they wear is enough to arm the military of an entire planet, and the strength of 100 Guards is enough to turn the tide of a war.
"For the Emperor." The Captain's voice was eerily calm.
“No one will be left alive.”
One hundred golden battle armors simultaneously made clanging sounds as their hydraulic systems locked.
The hatch of the boarding torpedo burst open, and the suffocating and foul air from inside the biological battleship blew in.
Valoris did not hesitate. His leg muscles tensed instantly and the power armor servo system let out a sharp whistle.
The next second, the company commander turned into a golden lightning and rushed into the enemy camp.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
The twenty warrior insects in the front row had just raised their sickle-shaped forelimbs, and the golden figure was still reflected in their compound eyes.
Then, the world turned into a golden storm.
Valoris's halberd drew a perfect arc, and the halberd blade made of fine gold left a trail of afterimage in the air.
When the first warrior worm's head flew up, the yellow-green blood didn't even have time to splatter; the second one was cut in half, and its upper body was still twitching due to nerve reflex; the third, the fourth...
When the company commander completed the first charge, thirty still-convulsing insect corpses were left behind.
"continue."
A cold voice sounded from beneath the golden helmets, and 100 imperial guards began to charge.
A hundred imperial guards poured into the chamber of the biological battleship like a tide.
Their fighting styles are different, but equally deadly. The Custodians on the left are armed with storm shields and guardian spears, and each thrust accurately penetrates the Zerg's central nerve ganglia.
The warrior on the right wielded dual guardian axes, and the rotating axe blades minced the swarm of knife insects into meat.
The Imperial Guards in the middle lane used heavy flamethrowers, and the sacred flames purified every inch of the ground contaminated by Zerg cells.
The Zerg's counterattack came quickly and went away even faster.
Tens of thousands of knife worms swarmed out of the hatching sacs around the chamber, and their sharp hissing was enough to rupture the eardrums of ordinary people.
But in front of the Imperial Guards, this charge was tantamount to suicide. The first wave of knife bugs didn't even get within three meters before they were chopped into pieces by the rotating storm of halberd blades.
The second wave tried to attack from the ceiling, but the guards didn't even look up. The weapons in their hands stabbed upwards at an incredible angle, nailing the attackers to death in mid-air.
The most shocking scene took place in the central chamber.
Fifty imperial guards formed a wedge formation. Facing the surging insect swarm, they simultaneously activated the energy fields of their power weapons.
Fifty guardian spears shining with blue light thrust forward, and the moment they came into contact with the swarm of insects, time seemed to stand still for a second.
Then, the ripples of destruction spread out. Thousands of knife bugs in the front row were vaporized directly, the shells of the warrior bugs in the back were cracked inch by inch, and the swarm of gun bugs in the farthest distance were blown away by the shock wave, crashing into the inner wall of the biological battleship and exploding into a meat paste.
The imperial guards continued to advance, stepping on the insect corpses, crushing every piece of still-squirming flesh with their golden boots.
Captain Valoris rushed to the front. His fighting style was perfect as a textbook, and every swing of his halberd took the lives of several Zergs.
When an executioner broke through the side wall and attacked, the company commander just turned slightly, and his halberd avoided the executioner's charge by a millimeter, and then made a clean upward slash.
The five-meter-tall beast was pierced from the lower jaw to the top of the head. When it fell to the ground with a bang, it smashed a dozen knife-worms that were unable to dodge.
"Proceed, in the name of the Emperor." The Captain's voice was eerily calm.
The imperial guards immediately changed their formation.
Twenty soldiers took out the special bombs they carried with them and threw them accurately at the various neural nodes of the biological battleship.
The flames of the explosion were not ordinary orange, but golden, symbolizing the Emperor's divine will.
Wherever the flames passed, the flesh and blood of the Zerg melted like snow encountering the sun.
A swarm overlord finally appeared.
This behemoth was three times the height of a Custodes, and its six pairs of sickle-shaped forelimbs were still covered with the remains of Imperial soldiers left over from previous battles.
It roared with a deafening roar, the sound waves shattering the chitinous pillars in the chamber.
Valoris simply wiped away the insect blood on his visor.
"I come."
When the Zerg Overlord rushed over, the captain made a move that made all the Custodians hold their breath.
He just stuck the halberd into the ground with his backhand and faced the monster with his bare hands.
At the moment when the two were about to collide, Valoris suddenly turned sideways, and all the servo systems of the power armor were overloaded at the same time.
His right fist blasted out at a speed faster than the speed of sound, directly piercing through the Overlord's chest.
The monster lowered his head in disbelief, looking at the golden fist that pierced through his back.
Valoris slowly pulled out his arm, shaking off the neural fluid and visceral fragments that covered it.
"continue."
As the voice fell, he pulled out the halberd from the ground and continued to move forward.
Behind him, the overlord's huge body slowly fell down, creating a bloody mist.
The speed of the imperial guards' advance was getting faster and faster. They were like Moses who parted the Red Sea in the myth. Wherever they passed, the insect swarms automatically "parted", but in the form of blood and flesh flying everywhere.
Fifteen minutes later, when the last neural node was purified by the holy fire, the entire biological battleship began to collapse from the inside.
Valoris stood at the highest point of the battleship wreckage, looking at the Zerg fleet still fighting stubbornly in the distance.
He raised the halberd stained with insect blood and pointed it at the next target.
"continue."
The Imperial Guards received the order and immediately began to board the biological warships. One after another, they were smashed to pieces like withered trees and rotten wood under the attack of the Imperial Guards, and the Zerg began to collapse under the attack of the Imperial Guards.
And on the largest biological battleship, the node creature was forced to give birth to a behemoth.
Under the editing genes of the Queen of Fate, a huge Tyranid creature slowly crawled out of the biological pool.
Norn Emissaries, these terrifying creatures are spawned with only 3 to 4 of them in each hive fleet.
This is the killer move that the node creatures use to deal with the captain of the Imperial Guards. The Norn Emissary is also the only Tyranid unit that is not inferior to the Imperial Guards in terms of single combat power, and is even far stronger than the Imperial Guards.
"Roar!"
Along with the piercing sound, psychic lightning began to flash on the body of the huge Norn messenger, and the swarm of insects once again surrounded the Imperial Guards under command.
