Chapter 497, How to Win a Game?
Carduso still managed to get close to Cao Boyang.
Although there was no rocket launcher to suppress him, Cao Boyang still had a heavy-bomb minigun mounted under his left arm. This thing had much more destructive power than ordinary bombs, and a rate of fire many times higher, with a strong fire suppression effect.
With it, you can even blow up a Lion tank head-on in less than ten seconds!
In the hands of mortals, this weapon can only be used as a fixed turret, and armored vehicles cannot carry it to run, because they can't bear the recoil when firing; Lion tanks have to dismantle the main gun when equipped with it, which is not worth the loss; Space Marines use it, and two people have to go into battle.
Only Space Marines wearing Terminator power armor can use it normally alone, and can be mounted under a single hand, and the muzzle can be moved as the arm is raised.
However, it still cannot get rid of the characteristics of being bulky.
When Cao Boyang realized that the two sides were very close, he turned the muzzle of his gun, aimed at the direction where Carduso would appear, and began to fire fiercely.
The continuous firing of the revolver heavy bombs could sweep away the collapsed walls of the building, exposing Carduso, who originally wanted to rely on the ruins of the building to cover his advance, to the muzzle of the gun.
In this way, he suppressed the firepower to prevent Carduso from approaching, and hoped to give him a strong blow in this way. As long as the heavy bomb hits once, it can also cause considerable damage to Carduso, who is only wearing ordinary tactical power armor.
In fact, Carduso was indeed shot, and was shot three times.
It is impossible that he really did not make any mistakes. During the process of snake skin movement, he was shot first, and it rubbed his abdomen.
It didn't really hit, so he wouldn't be injured. However, as the captain of the first company of the Fury Flame Regiment and a famous top warrior of the entire regiment, Cao Boyang could not miss this opportunity.
He is a master of heavy weapons. His previous blockade and bombing with rocket launchers has already shown his skills. It is not that he is not good at rushing over, but that Carduso's performance is really good.
At this moment, when a shot hit Carduso's body and made him slightly unbalanced, Cao Boyang quickly followed the muzzle. Being able to control the heavy bomb rotary machine gun and track the target in such a sensitive way at the full firing rate is a real master.
But Cao Boyang's outstanding performance has become a foil for Carduso.
The next two bullets that hit, one was cut aside by Carduso's power sword, and the third one that came at the same time, under his intention, hit his shoulder armor and caused an explosion.
Although the explosion power of the heavy bomb made his shoulder hurt, after all, the huge shoulder armor that looked like a shield was not penetrated, which can only be regarded as pain, and it does not affect the body function.
Moreover, with the force of the explosion, Carduso's body quickly pounced to the side and avoided other attacks that followed.
At the same time, Carduso fired his powerful plasma pistol, which had been fully charged.
When Cao Boyang saw the gun being taken out, he was instantly scared.
Needless to say, the power of this thing is naturally powerful. Although a single shot needs a long time to charge, it is definitely more powerful than a heavy bomb.
What is more terrifying is the accuracy.
Carduso's ability just now showed that he could hit his rocket nest with one shot at such a distance and with so many obstacles. Now, when he is much closer, he has no doubt that the opponent can definitely hit his vitals with one shot.
For example, the eyepiece on his helmet.
The eyepiece of the Terminator armor is of course specially reinforced and not so easy to penetrate. But after all, it is not as thick and strong as other places. If he is hit by a powerful plasma ray, it will definitely penetrate, and the head behind the eyepiece will not be saved.
He can only turn his head suddenly, turn sideways, and raise the power sword to try to resist.
He succeeded, and the ray hit the power sword.
Although he was not injured, the powerful plasma rays reacted with the power sword, generating a huge force that suddenly unbalanced his body.
And this moment was Carduso's chance.
He continued to rush forward without hesitation, and in a very short time, he shortened the distance between the two sides to the extent that the power axe in his hand could threaten the opponent.
At this time, Cao Boyang had also adjusted his previously unbalanced body. Seeing that Carduso was already very close, he swung his power sword horizontally.
This sword was powerful and came extremely fast!
Carduso resisted with a battle axe, but the difference in strength between the two of them was quite large.
This was not the difference between people, but mainly the difference between power armors. The power and output of the Terminator must be far greater than that of conventional power armor.
But Carduso was always able to follow Cao Boyang's strong force, either twisting his body or unloading the force. In close combat, Cardoso seemed like a small boat sailing in the stormy sea, drifting with the flow, but in fact, he always took the initiative in the battle.
All of Cao Boyang's attacks were not active, but more like passive expulsion. However, he never succeeded. Kalduso was always like a difficult ghost, always around him.
The frequency of the power sword in his hand was actually not as fast as Kalduso. This means that after Kalduso dodged or blocked every time he slashed, he still had enough energy to attack Cao Boyang.
Kalduso also had to save his strength and not go all out against the enemy. After all, the Terminator Power Armor was strong enough. Once he failed to cause a fatal blow, he would lose his flexibility and would not be able to block or dodge Cao Boyang's next attack. The Terminator's powerful slash would immediately make him pay a heavy price.
But despite this, every attack of the power axe, even if it was just a taste, was terrible when accumulated.
Erso, who was watching the battle, had already clenched his fists tightly.
No matter how much he didn't want to admit it, Erso believed that their Fury Corps lost this duel.
In the regiment, the captain of the first company, Cao Boyang, who was almost the best fighter under him, had already lost. If this was an ordinary duel, he would have admitted defeat at this point.
However, this was not an ordinary duel, but a bloody duel.
What does a bloody duel mean? There is no end until the blood runs dry and the people die.
It is considered over only when one side dies completely.
Even if he was reluctant to see his old brother and comrade die, there was nothing he could do now. He could not interfere in the duel in public, otherwise he would trample on the honor of the regiment.
He could only watch his brother accumulate more and more wounds on his body, move more and more inconveniently, and become more and more sluggish, just like the bull in the bullfighting ring who became more and more furious but also weaker due to injuries and bleeding.
In the end, Erso's expected failure finally came.
But the situation that he had always hoped for did not happen. After thinking that it was almost done, Carduso stopped "playing". Cao Boyang's movements had slowed down to a certain extent. The heavy blow came from the power axe that pierced the back of his left knee, making him a little lame; the other axe, in a fight, followed Cao Boyang's mistake and "slid" to the junction of the wrist guard and the iron glove, which made Cao Boyang even less flexible when using the power sword.
In addition, the heavy bomb revolver in his left hand basically had no effect in this close combat. At most, it could serve as a block and a slight threat with heavy bombs, which was better than nothing.
This time, it was equivalent to Cao Boyang having three limbs. Although not disabled, the effect that could be exerted was at least quite limited.
At this point, Carduso finally felt that it was safe enough and entered the killing line, so he took action.
This time, it was Carduso's active attack.
In fact, after Cao Boyang's knee and wrist were hurt, he didn't attack much, and he didn't try to drive them away passively. He just waited for Carduso to come.
Come on.
Carduso swung his axe at Cao Boyang's head.
Cao Boyang had to block it.
However, Carduso just changed direction just before the axe hit his head, and Cao Boyang couldn't keep up.
In other words, his eyes and consciousness could keep up, but his body, his broken Terminator power armor couldn't keep up.
This time, Carduso's power axe hit the inside of Cao Boyang's elbow with the greatest force.
Broken arm!
The Terminator's extremely strong outer elbow armor was not so easy to be broken, but the axe from the inside undoubtedly broke Cao Boyang's arm.
It was painful, but as Cao Boyang was also a top fighter, the simple pain could not make him lose his fighting power. With his other arm, he punched out fiercely, smashing at Carduso. At the same time, the heavy bombs hanging below were also fired.
This seemed to be his deadly counterattack move. He had no idea that the heavy bombs would hurt him. He just wanted to take advantage of Carduso's full strength to cut off one of his arms and fire at close range, even if they both died!
Carduso was a little surprised. Cao Boyang's determination was indeed beyond his expectations.
But it was meaningless.
He kicked out first, and Cao Boyang's figure retreated two steps, while Carduso retreated five or six steps away with this force.
He dodged, but Cao Boyang, who was a step slower, did not give up. He tried to move the muzzle of the gun and wanted to chase Carduso. But the next moment, Carduso rushed up again and chopped off his left arm with an axe.
Cao Boyang, who lost both arms, did not even have the last means of fighting for his life.
He desperately pushed his head forward, as if he wanted to make a final resistance by headbutting. But in reality, it looked more like he was sending his head to Carduso's axe.
One axe split the helmet, and another axe chopped the head in half.
The captain of the first company of the Fury Flame Regiment, who could almost be regarded as the first person in the entire regiment except the commander, died just like that.
The 800 warriors of the Fury Flame Regiment - now 799 warriors - watched Carduso, dressed in red armor, standing on the body of the old captain who was respected by the entire regiment, holding his battle axe and roaring to the sky.
Under this major provocation, the Fury Flame warriors were first stunned and shocked, but then they seemed to be insulted, and they all roared fiercely and cursed at Carduso.
Carduso took off his helmet, smiled disdainfully, and turned away.
In the first game, the Phoenix won.
And the second game started soon.
The person who appeared looked like a very young warrior.
He introduced himself, claiming to be the first new blood of the Phoenix, and had a 20-year fighting career.
20 years, for mortals, is of course a very long military career, and they are all veterans among veterans.
But for the Space Marines, 20 years is just the beginning. Most Space Marines can be called out of the recruit period at this stage. They can only be considered veterans when they have served for 50 years and are equipped with a silver nail on their foreheads.
Those who were still shouting and cursing in the Fury Corps just now slowly lowered their voices.
Although they cursed Karduso, Karduso was a real veteran with more than 200 years of combat experience and survived the Atonement Expedition. He was strong and was sent to lead the charge. He won the battle and killed Captain Cao Boyang. Although it was uncomfortable, it was not incredible.
But, send a 20-year rookie?
Look down on people?
But soon, they reacted again.
Except for the four veterans who survived the 100-year expedition in the Phoenix, the rest were all new recruits recruited in these 20 years.
Among the new recruits, this young warrior who called himself Peretus Anato was actually already a veteran among them.
Thinking of this, some of the Furies couldn't help but sneer.
Erso also calmed down the emotions of losing his comrades just now.
After losing the first game, there was no room for losing the second game.
Erso sent out the most outstanding "new recruit" in the regiment.
Although he was called a new recruit, he had actually served for 48 years and was about to reach the level of a veteran by convention.
And sending this person was not for Erso to save face. This person was also a rare genius in the Furies, a natural warrior. After becoming a Space Marine, he showed a very strong talent, far beyond the level of ordinary veterans.
In the battles within the regiment, he won countless consecutive victories. Even if he was not the champion of the company, the difference was not much, and he was stronger than many non-commissioned officers in the regiment.
Beating a Phoenix recruit was always easy.
At Erso's call, the genius warrior of Fury left the field.
The two participants in the second match were both wearing Terminators, the only difference was that Fury used the 'Unyielding Type', while Phoenix used the 'Iron Cavalry Type'.
The Unyielding Type is the most common Terminator armor in the current era, while the Iron Cavalry Type is much more precious and has better performance.
Erso really didn't know where Phoenix got so many Iron Cavalry Types.
The 'Great Type' that Kardousuo wore before was also in a similar situation, much rarer and better than the most common 'Skyhawk Type' commonly equipped by Fury.
He looked over and saw that all the Terminators he saw were 'Iron Cavalry', and all the tactical power armor he saw were 'Great'... Where did Phoenix get these good equipment?
He put aside his jealousy and doubts for the time being and focused on the battlefield at hand.
Although the Unyielding Type is inferior to the Iron Cavalry Type in performance, both are Terminator power armor after all, so there is no decisive gap in grade. Whether or not victory depends mainly on the difference between people.
He was very confident in his warriors.
However, this confidence was soon shattered.
Looking at the phoenix named Anato, stepping on the corpse of the genius of the regiment, roaring like his predecessor just now, Erso's face was so gloomy that water was about to drip out.
Lost again!
What made him even more embarrassed was that in the previous battle, the genius of Fury, who was highly expected, almost did not pose any clear threat. Anato's strength level was obviously stronger than his. In the long-distance confrontation before he got close, he had already fallen behind and suffered heavy damage.
Finally, Anato appeared in front of him, knocked him to the ground, stepped on his chest, and fired a heavy grenade at his head. This was obviously a signature execution move. Otherwise, Anato could have killed him from a long distance long ago.
This was already a very obvious crushing gap.
What was even more humiliating was that after the battle, Anato did not leave.
He just stood there, calling for the next Rage to come out.
The battle must continue.
That clearly meant that the previous match was not played to his heart's content, nor was it spent much effort!
Erso went all out, not intending to save his face at all, and selected a company champion from the Fury Flame Company.
However... this third match, he lost again.
The company champion wore normal tactical power armor to fight, as if he wanted to copy the victory of Karduso before.
He did rely on his superb skills to break through the long-range fire blockade and drag the battle into close combat. However, in a melee, it is not to say that tactical power armor really has an advantage. The thickness of the Terminator's armor and the weapons it is equipped with are not in vain. The power fist in Anato's hand, in dozens of rounds of close combat, finally hit the head of the Fury Flame Company champion and killed him with one blow.
Although Anato was also covered with scars, he won.
He still took off his helmet, smiled provocatively, and turned away.
Everyone in the Fury Flame Corps was about to explode!
Lost three games in a row!
Two games were still broken by one person!
And he was a rookie!
What the hell...
Erso didn't care anymore, he had to win the fourth game!
The fourth person to go out was a champion of the Fury.
His strength was comparable to that of the first captain Cao Boyang who opened the game.
And the phoenix that appeared this time was the chapter priest Rizzo wearing a skull helmet.
When the gravity staff smashed the head of the Fury champion, Erso was numb.
How can we win a game?
