Chapter 63: Tide of Corpses and Hive City

The team is still moving forward. Even though the number of corpses and monsters in front of them is incalculable, the rolling charge from the Grey Knights champion swordsmen can still cut a wound in the corpse tide every time.

Because the champion swordsmen have been assimilated by Calvin's psychic power for a long time, their psychic attacks with a hint of order power are like a hot blade placed on a mountain of solidified grease. As long as they touch these low-level corpses, they can skip the physical damage and directly disintegrate the opponent's soul.

Calvin's soul is receiving new supplements from the essence level every moment. Although the quality is low, it wins in quantity. His psychic power is becoming more and more active, and the light of order in his spiritual world is becoming more and more dazzling.

The battle seems to be going smoothly, but Calvin is not optimistic.

The battle is still going on. As the team's spearheads continue to cut in, the pressure of the entire team has actually shifted to the back of the team.

The demons who cannot match the champion swordsmen wearing Terminator power armor in the front naturally turn their attention to the interceptors at the back of the team.

In terms of defensive attributes, they were far less solid and reliable than the Terminators, and were required to retreat in stages to cover the entire team. In such a difficult battle, facing the wave after wave of zombies, the interceptors, even though they were experienced in the battlefield, still began to suffer losses:

A skinny but pot-bellied corpse relied on the guidance of a wizard hidden in the zombie group and quietly approached the interceptors' defense line under the cover of his kind.

The wizard used his dirty psychic power to suppress the actions of these corpses that were left with only instincts. He did not rush to charge with his trump card, but chose to wait for the opponent's firepower to be slightly weaker during the next position change, and then he suddenly attacked with the cooperation of other wizards.

In just a few breaths, the team in front completed another attack on the zombie tide and opened up new space. In response, the interceptors began to prepare to retreat in a cross-cover.

The wizard who had been waiting for a long time after the zombie tide took this opportunity and suddenly exerted his strength, sending multiple psychic impacts to a Grey Knight who was in a very bad position and was about to move.

The Grey Knights are very experienced. He gave up retreating as soon as he noticed the opponent's energy fluctuations, and chose to stay where he was and wait for his teammates to cooperate.

And his teammates obviously had a plan for such an accident. They instantly separated three people and stopped, turned around and provided auxiliary fire support to the comrade who was dragged.

He himself did not sit and wait for death, but immediately stretched his own protection to the extreme in order to seek possible opportunities after the defense was successful.

The inner psychic energy rushed along the etheric cable in the power armor to the oath shield device on the left shoulder of the armor. The shining light from this small shield-shaped equipment quickly expanded and eventually became a psychic barrier that could protect his whole body.

At the same time, the pure marks inlaid on the Grey Knight's power armor seemed to feel the impending blasphemy, and began to melt and burn spontaneously to provide more protection for the Grey Knight.

The first wave of psychic attacks was eliminated under the protection of the shield and the mark of purity, but it was followed by the self-destruction attack of at least ten cursed corpses.

While bearing the pressure of the corpse tide, his comrades provided him with fire support as much as possible, and most of the self-destructing corpses were killed on the way to charge.

However, three big-bellied corpses carrying vicious curses finally passed through the fire support of the Grey Knight teammates and rushed to the Grey Knight. But only one corpse was killed by the Grey Knight in time.

"Bang~! Bang~!"

With two low and muffled explosions like a burst bladder, a large amount of green pus and filth containing blasphemous power, along with the explosion, splashed on the Grey Knight who had no time to dodge.

After this, the psychic shield on his body, which originally had only a glimmer of light, was completely broken.

Take advantage of his illness to kill him. The rotten flies that had been hovering in the sky for a long time rushed towards the unprotected Grey Knight like a black cloud, wrapping him into a humanoid object in the black.

And the Grey Knight could only use the last bit of spiritual energy in his body to release a weak shock wave, so that these flying flies and insects paused for a while, and then pounced on them again, submerging the Grey Knight in the black swarm of insects.

Such a complicated battle situation was only a matter of a moment when it really happened. At this time, Calvin, who had discovered the abnormality, had just rushed from the front to the middle of the team, and was still more than ten meters away from this comrade.

Calvin, with red eyes, raised his right hand without any instruction at this moment, and the powerful platinum power instantly gathered in his lightning claws.

He pointed his hand hard at the Grey Knight in the distance, and a powerful shock wave penetrated and evaporated the multiple evil demons that blocked them, hitting the Grey Knight whose life or death was unknown.

The black swarm of insects was wiped out by this energy, leaving only the warrior lying in a coma.

Calvin rushed to him, grabbed his body and carried it on his shoulders, turned around and stared at the wizard leader who was slowly retreating in the zombies after losing his hand.

He carried his comrade's body, joined the remaining three Grey Knights, and fought his way back to the front line. After handing the Grey Knight over to the Arbitrator, he turned back to look for the other party's trace, but the other party had already disappeared in the zombie tide.

Calvin understood the other party's intention, they were doing everything possible to delay the Grey Knights' steps.

The interceptors knew this very well. If it weren't for Calvin's forced rescue, the unconscious comrade would have been abandoned after the three Grey Knights' firepower support was ineffective.

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

Since the Inquisition can summon the Grey Knights to this point as the executors of this mission, the pollution of Chaos must have endangered the entire galaxy and even the section.

Compared with such imperial interests, except for Calvin, no one in this team can be sacrificed or abandoned.

Calvin no longer walked to the front of the battle line. He began to wander behind the entire rearguard team under the firepower support of the interceptors.

Bringing as many comrades back to Titan as possible is his greatest wish at this time...

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

The zombie tide also reached its peak. Calvin's psychic power was no longer reserved. He led the whole team to approach the target against the zombie tide with difficulty.

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

Sure enough, when Calvin and his team finally arrived less than 100 meters away from the entrance of the hive, the zombie tide seemed to have reached the edge of its range of activities and surprisingly receded.

The zombie tide suddenly stagnated and receded at a certain moment, leaving only corpses and gray knights standing in the shadow of the towering hive.

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

Or maybe this hive itself is a monster that devours life.

Thank you for the reward from Lao Wen and Yuzi.

I wrote it down in my notebook. I owe two chapters.

There will be another chapter later.
