Chapter 621, Loyalty or Destruction!
Wang Mengsong's attack instantly caused great trouble to Dela Roche.
This sage, whose body was transformed to be extremely good at fighting, killed more than ten Space Marines in the previous hunting operation. In his opinion, the strength level of Space Marines seemed to be just so-so, not as exaggerated as the legend said.
Of course he knew it was normal.
No matter how powerful the Space Marines were, look at their power armor, which was only 50,000 tax coins per set? 100,000 tax coins per set?
The powerful ones were the people inside.
But no matter how valuable that person was, how much increase could he get?
And he himself, the new technology developed from the Zerg aliens, the full set of equipment, cost 30 million tax coins alone.
This is just the cost, not counting the cost of the research and development process.
Research and development is something that costs more than manufacturing.
What's more, even if it is produced, it is not a transformation that everyone can undergo. Only a sage like him has enough ability to master this transformation technology.
With such a huge gap, isn't it natural that he can crush ordinary Space Marines?
The so-called demigod is just a religious concept that gives Space Marines some special features. Their superhuman bodies are indeed powerful and can maximize the value of the power armor, but they can't compete with the sage-level full-body transformation that is a hundred times more valuable.
But the top Space Marines are the exception.
Dela Roche felt a huge pressure.
Even at the beginning, he suffered a loss.
Wang Mengsong wanted to kill him directly with a sneak attack. So, when he made a move, he went all out. The weapon in his hand has been replaced with a phase sword.
Originally, he was certainly not qualified to use this top weapon that the Alliance has not yet mass-produced. There are only a few in the entire regiment. What he is using now is the accessories that Erich gave him, just to increase his chances of winning.
The phase sword is still top enough. Without the cooperation of this top weapon, even the champion swordsman would find it difficult to cut off a pair of Dela Roche's limbs with one move.
After a loss at the beginning, Dela Roche felt even more overwhelmed by the swift and violent attacks.
He claimed to be a sage who specialized in combat. When he transformed himself, he did not make it bigger, stronger, or more powerful like ordinary sages, but focused on flexibility, skills, and strength, maintaining a roughly human-sized posture.
But what is the reality?
He is still a sage of the Mechanicus in the final analysis, a civilian and scientific researcher. His so-called training is just training, and he lacks the experience of fighting on the front line of the battlefield.
Relying on the powerful and expensive equipment advantage, he seemed to be invincible in the few battles in the past. He himself believed that he was a master of combat.
But when he really faced the champion swordsman of the previous Space Marine in a life-and-death fight for the first time, he felt what horror was.
Objectively speaking, Wang Mengsong's various physical function attributes are not as good as Dela Roche's.
Even though the champion-level Space Marines still have the same equipment, their physical strength far exceeds that of ordinary Space Marines.
However, they cannot be compared with Dela Roche in terms of hard indicators.
Whether it is strength level, speed, or flexibility, he is theoretically one level higher than Wang Mengsong.
However, the reason why champion swordsmen are called champions is that their experience, technical and tactical swordsmanship level is even more overwhelming.
And Dela Roche is much worse than an ordinary Space Marine in terms of actual combat technology and combat experience.
His skills and hard indicators of physical function can only be exerted at 30% when he encounters a champion like Wang Mengsong.
He fought very aggrievedly, and even several times of incompetent and furious fighting styles that tried to exchange injuries for life were easily resolved by Wang Mengsong.
After being stabbed several times, when the self-healing of the void electronic tendon began to fail, he finally calmed down.
He began to try to escape.
But every time, he was intercepted by Wang Mengsong.
He looked around anxiously, hoping that his powerful and luxurious entourage could provide some help.
But it couldn't.
In theory, the entourage, which should be able to crush the remaining nine Space Marines in terms of combat power, is indeed an advantage now, but it is far from being able to completely solve the opponent to help him.
The soldiers of the New World Torch participating in this operation were carefully selected.
Although the proportion of them who trained company champions is more than five times that of the Phoenix. However, out of five hundred people, ten company champions can still be gathered.
Although they are not at the level of Wang Mengsong, they are by no means weak.
De La Roche still expects others to help him? Impossible. There was even a torch warrior who was skilled and courageous. In the interval between the battles, he suddenly shot him, not afraid of accidentally injuring Wang Mengsong in the ultra-high-speed battle.
He did not hurt anyone by mistake. Instead, he accurately coordinated with Wang Mengsong's attack, causing Delaroche to pause, creating a good opportunity for the champion swordsman to stab the phase sword into Delaroche's chest.
Delaroche quickly retreated, and the sword was separated from his body.
This was not a fatal injury to him. The technology developed from the Void Zerg formed a biological tissue that quickly repaired the damage in the body.
In a short while, he was able to recover.
However, at this moment, another sword suddenly came from behind him.
That was Erich!
More Space Marines were still surrounding him from behind. But the second captain of the regiment could not wait any longer. He rushed over as soon as he received the news.
He had a strong strength among the company champions, enough to play a major role in this battle!
He was hit by several swords again. Although the power sword was not as powerful as the phase sword, he finally managed to force Erich back slightly, but Wang Mengsong arrived again.
Under the siege, Dela Roche seemed more and more powerless to resist.
In the end, his body, which could be repaired quickly, could no longer be reassembled after being cut into countless pieces and burned again by the hot melt flamethrower.
...
After Dela Roche's death, the war did not subside immediately, but at least the intensity dropped sharply.
So far, most of the hawkish senior officials have died, and the local faction and fence-sitters, who have an absolute advantage in numbers, have a better understanding of the situation.
Under their efforts, the Crusaders no longer came to die.
The Sages were all dead, so what were they doing here?
Even on Aramita, many of the Mechanicus' ruling bishops had organized a temporary council and contacted Gu Hang, hoping that the Alliance could send an ambassador so that the two sides could have a good talk.
This was a very clear attitude. Everyone could discuss everything and the war could be postponed.
But unexpectedly, Gu Hang rejected this proposal.
Moreover, the entire main fleet of the Alliance suddenly pressed forward fiercely.
His voice, through various channels of the Alliance agents and public broadcasts, spread to the entire Aramita:
"Unconditionally rectify the chaos. I welcome everyone who revolts in battle. You have shown your loyalty to the Empire."
"And for those who are still stubborn, I will also impose the most severe punishment on behalf of the Emperor and the God of All Machines!"
"Loyalty, or destruction! You choose."
