Leroux's target is an Insect Nest Tyrant.
This is a legitimately high-level unit within the Insect Race. Under normal circumstances, wanting to kill an Insect Nest Tyrant typically requires an intervention from a Battle Group Champion.
Moreover, it still cannot ensure a stable kill.
The performance record between Battle Group Champions and Insect Nest Tyrants is about seventy-thirty in the records—removing the embellishments in the Human Empire's battle reports, it's probably more like fifty-fifty.
Apart from their formidable individual strength, a more notable trait of the Insect Nest Tyrant is that they are usually the highest commander of an Insect Swarm Army during frontline engagements.
In general battles, and even in critical engagements that can decide the fate of a planet, often as long as a hero can kill an Insect Nest Tyrant, the battle can be declared as nearly won.
Of course, on Reiaductus, Leroux is not that optimistic.
