Chapter 822: Chapter 450, The Death of the Ashen Dead
The Chief Wizard of the Ashen Dead Squad was indeed quite formidable.
In fact, he was equivalent to the level of a normal Grade S Psychic, which was only slightly inferior to Gu Hang’s typical level.
But Gu Hang, at that moment, had undoubtedly torn open the rift between reality and Subspace, and the power of the Storm God Kingdom had already revealed itself.
In this form, Gu Hang, who almost reached Alpha-level strength, could easily defeat the War Faction Wizard.
He could strip away some of the wizard’s connection to Subspace, rendering the Chaos Blessing ineffective; then, the weakened wizard would become a toy in his hands.
However, Gu Hang didn’t do that.
Dealing with a War Faction Wizard was not Gu Hang’s priority.
Right now, he was at least doing three important things at the same time.
Apart from wrestling with this formidable War Faction Wizard, Gu Hang was also confronting those Mutinous Interstellar Warriors.
Especially those in Terminator Armor.
Gu Hang willingly allowed the Phoenix Battle Group to engage the Ashen Dead rebels in a decisive battle, even if it would result in some avoidable casualties, as this was the Phoenix Battle Group’s own will.
Before setting out, after Gu Hang transmitted the operation orders to Matins, the Phoenix Battalion Leader burst with strong initiative. He had almost mobilized the entire battle group’s maneuvering forces and invested them in the battle.
And to Gu Hang, the battle group’s savior and loyalist, he strongly expressed a wish: It was better for the blades killing the Ashen Dead to come from the Phoenix.
Gu Hang understood his thoughts and agreed to this request.
But this did not mean Gu Hang would let the battle group and war faction duel alone; that would only increase casualties.
The Phoenix had just regained a strength of five hundred. Could they win against double the number of Ashen Dead? They should be able to, although the opponents were all veterans, and the Phoenix was almost entirely composed of new recruits. However, these new recruits of the Phoenix weren’t what people typically imagined.
Before becoming Interstellar Warriors, every Phoenix Interstellar Warrior had undergone training through Gu Hang’s Soldier Token system and advanced to the T1 level. Purely in terms of combat experience and skills, they had reached the level of a regular Interstellar Warrior.
This level was still no match for the veterans, but the gap was definitely not so vast that double the number couldn’t overcome the opposition.
Nonetheless, the casualties would not be small.
Even if there were a significant number of elite soldiers from the 10th Brigade on board, wearing Feedback-Type Powered Armor, they posed a threat to Interstellar Warriors. However, their combat power was too different; involving them in the fight would also result in significant casualties.
Not to talk about sacrificing the Phoenix, even the loss of the 10th Brigade’s elite would grieve Gu Hang.
If he were not present, it would be different, but as he was there, he would personally take action to significantly reduce the casualties of the Phoenix.
Eliminating the Terminator Squad from among the Ashen Dead was something Gu Hang needed to do.
This squad of Terminators from the Ashen Dead, all elite veterans, would truly cost the Phoenix many lives if confronted at close range.
Totally unnecessary.
Using a surge of Spiritual Energy to crush all the boarding Ashen Dead wasn’t feasible for Gu Hang. An Interstellar Warrior’s body was robust, and their soul had a certain uniqueness, deriving from their bloodline and the Subspace Essence, which almost no one would recognize, but Gu Hang could faintly discern.
Extinguishing an Interstellar Warrior with Spiritual Energy would be very taxing, let alone killing two hundred veterans all at once.
However, using Spiritual Energy to protect the Phoenix, conjuring something akin to an energy shield but actually much more convenient like a Spiritual Energy guardian, was relatively easier.
This greatly aided the Phoenix during exchanges of fire. Otherwise, in narrow passageways lacking cover, facing a group of Terminators more formidable than the usual tactical Powered Armors, the Phoenix would have been at a severe disadvantage.
And after the group of Terminators began their charge, Gu Hang used highly concentrated Thunder Spears to strike at the enemy.
He could still manage to annihilate a Terminator with one strike.
During the charge, Gu Hang was engaging in this kind of selective targeting.
In just a few hundred meters, at the charge speed of the Interstellar Warriors, which was almost a matter of a few breaths, Gu Hang launched a total of six Thunder Spears.
For the Ashen Dead’s Terminators, there was no way to avoid them in the current environment. Even if one dodged, the one behind it couldn’t.
The six Thunder Spears spelled death for six elite Terminator veterans.

But finally, the Ashen Dead reached close quarters.
During this process, in addition to the six Terminators killed by Gu Hang’s strikes, more than a dozen Mutinous Interstellar Warriors from the Ashen Dead died under the barrage of various ranged weapons.
And now, with the distance between the two sides very close, close combat was inevitable.
“For the Emperor!” wielding a Gravity Scepter, Priest Rizzo shouted as he charged forward.
He picked his target, Anconi Ben, the leader of the Mutinous Dead.
A heavy collision occurred between the Gravity Scepter and the flesh-rending battle axe, and Rizzo was at a disadvantage.
The output of the Terminator Power Armor was far stronger than that of Regular Powered Armor.
Anconi was utterly thrilled.
