Chapter 496, bloody fight to the death
"Is this the first time we've met?"
When the two chapter leaders took the lead to move forward and have a conversation before the bloody battle, Erso seemed quite relaxed.
Martins, standing opposite him, didn't look so calm.
It was obvious that he was trying to calm himself, but he couldn't hide the anger in his eyes.
Hearing Erso's greeting, Martins slowly pulled a sneer from the corner of his mouth: "No, on Leo Shield 9, I fired a bomb at you."
"Hahaha!" Martins' words seemed to make him laugh. After a moment, Erso suppressed his smile and mocked: "I remember that battle. It was really a great victory. I killed it with my own hands. I picked up six redbuds and four phoenixes, but I don't remember your explosive bomb, it seems to have no effect at all."
Martins remembered that battle vividly. His company and Bauhinia's company at that time were ordered to station on the planet named Liudun No. 9. They were attacked fiercely by the Raging Flames and suffered heavy losses. Many of his close battle brothers died in that battle.
"I really regret not being able to kill you that day."
"Oh? Then you have a chance today." Erso was still smiling and did not take Martins seriously. "Why don't we just take the lead in this first game? Let's see what happens in a hundred years." Can the explosive bomb you fired before hit me today?"
He was trying to provoke Martins and make an irrational choice. The two chapter leaders would fight to the death first. That would indeed immediately push the fight to a climax, but at the same time, the risks would become huge.
Erso has absolute confidence that he can win. He just wants to kill Martins with the sword in this first battle and gain the upper hand.
However, he quickly reacted.
"Let our soldiers compare it first. Maybe you will be so angry that you will die. Then I will take your life."
But at the last moment, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Martins was stunned for a moment and did not reply.
"Haha" Erso stared at Martins and said, "Then I'm afraid that my soldiers will not give me this chance and will quickly kill all of your hundred recruits. However, even so, I will also compassionately give you the 101st chance. As long as you dare to end, I will accompany you."
Speaking of this, Martins was a little emotional: "How does the governor know that these one hundred people are our best one hundred warriors? Moreover, after a little training after the publicity came, they were already very powerful. There can be further growth! "
Returning to his own phalanx, Martins was still angry.
Martins almost agreed.
He always felt that old Rizzo was becoming more and more arrogant.
However, the conversation was over, and it was impossible for him to bring Erso back for another quarrel.
I can only feel stuffy in my stomach.
Rizzo showed a mysterious smile: "Maybe this is the governor's gift."
"We are always preparing. The one hundred people named by the Governor are all in high morale."
This made him feel very unhappy.
...
"We'll see."
The final result will still come down to gunfire and blades.
What's the point of verbal disputes?
He felt that he did not perform well in the quarrel just now, and he really lost to Erso in terms of words.
He asked Rizzo: "Are our soldiers ready?"
Ignoring him, Martins looked at the other person standing next to him:
"Brother Carduso, according to the plan, you will be the first to fight. Is there no problem?"
Calduso is the captain of the first company of the Phoenix, and one of the first survivors of the Centennial Expedition to follow Martins to the Raging Owl Star. He is also almost the only survivor of the entire Phoenix, except for Martins himself. The strongest one is only slightly inferior to Martins' strength.
It is most appropriate for him to fight this battle.
"No problem." Kaldusuo responded absently, his eyes always looking at a person in the formation of the Raging Flames on the opposite side.
"Are you looking at Cao Boyang?"
"Yes." Kaldusuo came to his senses and nodded, "I heard that he is now the first company commander of Fury Flame. I wonder if I will have a chance to meet him later."
Martins knew why Carduso wanted to meet the guy named Cao Boyang.
The reason is similar to the fact that he hated Erso. Kalduso also had a close brother who died at the hands of Cao Boyang.
Among these four old guys who have lived for more than a hundred years, who has not had a bloody feud with Nu Yan?
Martins thought for a moment and said, "You can take the initiative to shout, maybe he will come down?"
"Makes sense."
Carduso put the helmet he was about to put on back on his arm again.
He walked out of the military formation and shouted to the opposite side:
"Cao Boyang! Get out of here and die!"
...
"Old Cao, he asked you to get out."
"Then let the other brothers wait, I'll go first. You don't have to wait for long, I can kill him in a few minutes." Cao Boyang, wrapped in heavy Terminator power armor, twisted indifferently Neck, "I let that guy run away a hundred years ago. A hundred years later, he will still die in my hands."
After saying that, he also walked off the field.
The equipment gap between the two is still huge.
Cao Boyang is basically fully armed, except for the 'Indomitable' Terminator power armor. He carries two rocket launcher nests on his shoulders; a heavy bolt machine gun is mounted under his left arm. If it is a war, his most commonly used weapon is actually a Thor hammer. But today, he saw Calduso on the opposite side. He put down the Thor Hammer and replaced it with a power sword.
This is not to be disrespectful and deliberately not use the most convenient weapon, but to select equipment in a targeted manner.
Because the Calduso across from him didn't wear a terminator, he just wore an ordinary tactical power armor - but the model was a bit rare, and the 'Standing Type' power armor was a good thing that would make many war groups jealous. To deal with opponents wearing conventional power armor, it is not suitable to use a melee weapon like Thor's Hammer, which is more than enough to defeat heavy units. A more flexible power sword would be much more suitable.
To be honest, Cao Boyang's equipment is much more expensive than Kaldusuo's. If it were in a war, Cao Boyang, wearing such a suit, would be able to play a role that was many times more powerful than that of Carduso. Suppressive fire, charging into battle...it can do anything.
But a duel was another matter.
The Terminator's armor is thick and can be equipped with many equipment that cannot be equipped with tactical power armor. However, its bulky and inflexible characteristics cannot be compensated for in any case.
If the level of both users is low, then there is no doubt that the person with the terminator will be able to directly crush the opponent by relying on the equipment advantage; however, if both parties are masters, that is not necessarily the case.
The alliance is not poor, nor is Calduso's status in the group insufficient to allocate good equipment. Once again, when encountering an enemy, there is no letting go or looking down on the opponent. If you want to match Cao Boyang's style, Kaldusuo can match it.
If you don't bring it, of course it's for the sake of victory.
Flexibility and skill are the keys to Carduso's victory today.
But at the beginning of the battle, Calduso encountered an extremely serious crisis.
The venue for the duel was very large, a city ruins about two kilometers in diameter. However, for the Space Marines, running at full speed, even if the terrain is complex, they can cross it in just a few minutes.
If it was too close, Cao Boyang would have no room to use the many long-range heavy weapons he carried.
Almost as soon as the announcement announcing the start of the battle started, he squatted down with his legs and took a horse stance. The built-in scanner had roughly locked on Calduso's position, and the two rocket launching nests carried on his shoulders began to fire rockets.
One after another, rocket launchers trailing long tail flames flew out, drawing a beautiful arc from mid-air, passing over many building ruins, and accurately locked on Carduso's body. of that area.
He did not shoot out all the rockets in one go, but fired them one after another in a rather rhythmic manner. He accurately calculated Calduso's position and possibility of movement, and blocked many of its routes. The core goal was to prevent the Phoenix veteran from hiding in the ruins of the building to avoid explosion damage.
Don't even think about it! He will be blown up halfway!
Kaldusuo, on the other hand, could only move flexibly during the bombing.
Of course, his speed cannot support him to completely dodge the envelope of the explosion, but tactical power armor is also power armor. As long as he avoids the core area of the explosion of precise rockets, the threat caused by the aftermath of the edge zone is relatively low. of.
However, in this process, he could hardly close the distance between the two parties, and he must not make any mistakes. Otherwise, if he was hit by a rocket launcher, he would be seriously injured even if he died.
Calduso's disadvantage of not choosing heavy equipment came as expected.
Although he has been fine until now, the key point is that Cao Boyang's attack method on the opposite side is almost risk-free, and Kaldusuo can only be beaten passively.
If you make a mistake, you lose; if you don't make a mistake at all, it's just a waste of Cao Boyang's rocket inventory. There must still be more than 20 rockets in his two rocket nests. How much physical energy does Calduso have to expend to hide them all?
Just as they were thinking this, all the spectators saw a blue beam of light that penetrated the entire duel venue and hit the rocket nest on Cao Boyang's left shoulder!
Those present were all elite Space Marines, and of course they all recognized that this shot came from a plasma gun, and it was a charged shot.
But... when did Calduso draw his gun and charge it? Wasn't he scared to death by the rocket bomb? How do you have the time to do this?
Moreover, the distance between the two of them was nearly two kilometers, and there were countless building ruins blocking the way. How did Calduso shoot?
Kazimierz Erso, who was watching the battle from a distance, his face had completely darkened.
There is nothing magical about this, that is, one can be distracted by charging the plasma gun, and at the same time, in the process of dodging, he can constantly analyze and adjust his position until he finds an unobstructed gap between the two sides.
The gap was extremely narrow, and what was even more frightening was that Calduso was always in a situation of being bombed. It was already extremely difficult to avoid being bombed and to adjust his position, let alone seize the momentary opportunity to carry out the operation. Accurate shooting beyond a distance of two kilometers.
Erso could only say that this was an incredible skill.
Ask yourself, is there anyone in the entire Raging Flames who can do it?
There are a few top players who may be able to complete this 'performance' after special training and drills.
But unfortunately, this is not a performance now, but an actual battle of life and death.
Even in this actual battle, Phoenix is still at a disadvantage. This is the territory controlled by Furious Flames, and the duel location was also chosen by them. They were able to observe and study the terrain in advance, but Phoenix did not have this condition.
In actual combat, Erso himself didn't feel confident that he could fire such a shot at the critical moment.
However, this man who was not famous in the war a hundred years ago actually did it!
Just a veteran?
impossible.
Not even the team champion has this ability!
Phoenix, the commander of the first company, is actually able to show such strength!
He couldn't help but look at Cao Boyang with some worry.
In this series of performances from the beginning of the battle to the present, Lao Cao's fire suppression showed extremely outstanding methods. However, Carduso's magic shot directly surpassed him in terms of performance points.
However, Lao Cao's actions were actually quite decisive.
While the rocket nest was penetrated by plasma, he directly violently untied the connecting structure between the rocket nest and himself, and threw it away far away.
The rocket nest exploded in mid-air.
If Lao Cao's decision-making was just a little slower, he would suffer a severe blow from the explosion of the rocket nest.
Carduso also took advantage of this opportunity and began to move forward quickly through the cover of the ruins of the city.
Obviously, he wanted to close the distance between the two parties, and even wanted to enter into a close combat.
Lao Cao was not afraid either.
The captain of the Raging Flames Chapter took heavy steps and also went deep into the ruins of the city.
Erso, who was watching the battle, couldn't let go of his nervous breath.
Calduso's performance was too scary. He could only hope that this Phoenix veteran was a master of long-range shooting. His close-quarter swordsmanship was not outstanding, at least not so ruthless.
This is possible, otherwise, Calduso's ability would be more than just a company commander.
But looking at Carduso's expression of wanting to fight in close quarters, Erso didn't dare to completely trust his own judgment.
He could only watch the distance between the two parties getting closer and closer...

On the first day of May, brothers vote on the hour!
