Chapter 378, Battle Against the Lizardman Ruins

As Fulgrim had predicted, the Skink attack was only the beginning.

In the afternoon, the expeditionary force immediately discovered that the lizardmen were attacking back.

Taller and taller than humans, the lizard army appeared in the depths of the rainforest. These creatures were not the little ones of the skinny army at all. These lizard warriors were tall and strong, with powerful arms. They gushed out from the lush rainforest like a green tide, completely surrounding the ruins.

"Shua, Shua, Shua~" A large group of cavalry riding the Cold Lizard also appeared in the depths of the rainforest.

The ancient race is showing its fangs.

"Legion commander, the scouts have found a large number of lizardman reinforcements!" A great swordsman immediately came to report.

"How many are there?" Forgan remained calm.

"The number is uncountable, and the number is estimated to be more than 5,000." The great swordsman was sweating on his forehead: "What should we do? Legion commander, should we retreat?"

"Retreat? Are we comparing speed with these lizardmen in the tropical rainforest, in the lizardmen's territory?" Before Fogan could answer, Pirazzo first reprimanded the great swordsman for his unrealistic thoughts, and the veteran mercenary leader looked around for a while. A little far away.

The forest is trembling, the sea of ​​forest is swaying, a kind of restlessness that makes people's heart palpitate.

The morale of the expeditionary army began to be eroded by the fear brought about by the unknown. The soldiers hesitated a little, subconsciously, they turned their eyes to the figure standing on the ruins.

That is their belief.

Forgan knew what he had to say.

In the heart of the Primarch, the Emperor's Son, his subordinates are all mobs, not to mention his former legion, even the army he was blown to that planet by the warp storm is far inferior.

But what does it matter? Doesn't everyone start from scratch, from weak to strong?

Since being resurrected, Fulgrim has set a standard in his heart. He needs to prove himself again in front of his father. He must prove again that he and his army are the perfect Emperor's Children. He will use this army Rebuild his glory!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the leader of the Ashes Legion spoke.

"Wealth, or death, glory, or oblivion." Fulgan's eyes were shining, and he carried the golden power sword, and said slowly: "Now, there is only one battle, which cannot be avoided or refused. , Soldiers, are you afraid?"

"No!" The soldiers who came to Lustria's expedition were either young soldiers eager to make meritorious service, or mercenaries eager to get rich, or criminals who committed crimes seeking to get rid of crimes, or those who could not survive and came to apply for conscripts. A homeless man with a mouthful of food.

No matter who they were, they felt fierce in their hearts. When they heard Fulgan's words and felt his contemptuous eyes, almost instantly, the soldiers all blushed, and they roared loudly: "No!"

"Then, are you willing to fight for me?" Fulgrim stood above the crowd in an unrivaled figure, and he felt, felt the belief, bravery and hope of human beings.

"Will! Will!"

"The glory of the past has long since vanished, and the endless darkness has swallowed us up, but we are still standing here! We are great humans, the greatest race in the universe, we were born from war, we will never surrender, heroic, Loyalty, faith, and soldiers who agree with me, raise the weapons in your hands, hold your shields tightly, let us write the glory of our expeditionary army in blood and fire!" Fulgan laughed and raised his hand the sword in his hand.

"In the darkness, we were born!"

"In the light, hope lives forever!"

The figure of Wei An sang loudly, and his majesty like a god made the whole expeditionary army passionate.

It was a light that was brighter than the sun.

"Glory! Glory! Glory!"

The Legion of Ashes boiled, and the human soldiers roared loudly. Cowardice, fear, and vacillation had all been reduced to ashes, leaving only loyalty and faith, and the ignited blood in their chests.

Fearless courage turned into mighty strength.

"In a future filled with endless darkness,

There is only war, soldiers, who is your enemy? "

"Who is the enemy of the legion commander! Who is our enemy!"

"Soldiers, why do your swords exist?"

"For the honor of the head of the army! To protect the head of the army!!!"

Human armies are again ready for battle,

When a large group of lizardmen appeared in front of the expeditionary army, all the human troops were ready to fight, without a trace of panic or fear. The human soldiers firmly guarded the entrance of the ruins.

"Wooah!" The first wave of thousands of lizard warriors roared and rushed towards the human army.

"Fire!" Pirazzo signaled to the artillery that it was time to fire: "Let it go!"

"Fire!!!" Five mortars and three cannons fired at the same time!

"Boom~boom~boom~" The huge muzzle spewed out red flames, and the shells of the mortars flew high into the sky and directly blasted towards the lizard army. The first shell exploded into pieces among the lizard warriors Suddenly, seven or eight lizard warriors were engulfed by the flames of the explosion.

"Xuuuuuu~" The eight shells fired in a row fell one after another and exploded in the lizardman army, which frustrated the lizardman army. The human artillery was powerful, and the lizardman army was suppressed by firepower.

These ancient races in the forest did not show any sign of retreating or wavering, as if the dead race had nothing to do with them. On the contrary, more lizardmen warriors poured out from the rainforest, rushing towards the human army.

"Fire!" Led by a company of veterans, the crossbowmen and musketeers fired at the approaching lizard warriors. The dense crossbow bolts and muskets knocked all the lizard warriors to the ground in the first row.

The effect of the bow and crossbow has become much worse. Unlike the Skink soldiers, the lizard warriors have hard skin and hold shields. As long as they are not shot at vital points, they will not fall down. They release the anger of protozoa. Many lizard warriors With more than a dozen feather arrows inserted, he continued to charge.

"Wow wow!" The first lizard warrior approached the human army formation. It waved the mace in its hand and opened the tips of several approaching spears in one breath: "Roar!!"

"Stab!" The pikeman backed up, held the guns in both hands, and with a strong force, seven or eight spears pierced into the lizard warrior's body.

"It's so thick!" A human soldier shouted, "Hit it to the core!"

The lizard warriors are completely different from the Skinks. The skin of these creatures is harder. If the tip of an ordinary spear is not used properly, it is even difficult to hurt their flesh and blood.

"Hold it!!" The morale of the human soldiers was high. They were closely united, and their spears were like a forest, forcing the lizard warriors to rush into the spear array. Stab past.

"Go to hell! Alien!!!" A young recruit desperately pierced the tip of a spear into the belly of a lizard warrior, and red blood splashed all over his face.

He subconsciously wanted to pull out the spear, but found that the lizardman warrior held the spear with his hand, and the alien in front of him firmly grasped the grab bar, and then used the lizardman spear in his hand to penetrate the area. Heads of recruits!

Blood splattered, the recruit's head was pierced, and the soldier next to him even tasted his brains.

Before the next batch of lizard warriors rushed up, the crossbowmen and musketeers had already reloaded: "Let it go!"

"Bang~bang bang~" There was a dense musket sound, and the lizard warriors in front of the army were fired at close range by musket fire, leaving behind a large number of corpses.

More than half of the first lizardman army had suffered casualties. Although the human beings had lost a lot, when the second round of artillery shelling by the human artillery intercepted the lizardman warriors who were about to charge, whistles and special attacks finally came from the depths of the forest. roar.

"Cavalry!!!" The human army immediately discovered that a large group of cavalry was attacking from the flanks!

Hundreds of cavalry consisted of the Cold Ones who were close to horses and the lizardmen on the Cold Ones. Some of these lizardmen were armed with guns and some with sticks. They quickly crossed the ruins and came towards the side of the human army formation. Cannon and mortar emplacements!

"Calm down!" Fulgrim raised his golden power sword: "The Wolf Formation!"

"Yes!" The human soldiers responded loudly. Facing the lizardman Cold One cavalry attacking from the side, the soldiers quickly organized into small groups. They rushed to the only way that the Cold One cavalry had to pass, ready to fight the cavalry.

The well-trained pikemen stuck their shields on the ground and raised their spears. When the cavalry approached, these pikemen suddenly took a step back and knelt down, raising their shields obliquely.

"???" Hundreds of Cold One cavalry didn't react to the human's actions. Cold One stepped on the shield directly and passed the soldiers in the first row. Then these creatures realized that they had stepped on the ground and fell from the air. .

Waiting for them was a large group of spearmen and sword and shield soldiers. Every Cold One cavalry who fell into the human position found that they had to face at least three human enemies!

"Forward!!!" The great swordsman joined the battlefield, and the veterans of hundreds of battles waved their giant swords, quickly killing these lone Cold One cavalry, many lizardmen were pulled off the Cold One, and fell into the siege of humans .

"Get up!" After putting in half of the Cold One cavalry, Fulgen ordered the spearmen to stand up their shields, and the remaining Cold One cavalry were blocked from the line, fighting fiercely with the spearmen.

On the front and side, there are figures of the human army and the lizardman army fighting everywhere. The whole ruins is like a flesh and blood mill, and the red-eyed humans and the lizardman army launched a tragic melee battle.

Deep in the rainforest, a Skink Priest said to the blue lizard man sitting on the Tyrannosaurus: "War Leader, the war has reached a stalemate. If this continues, our losses will far outweigh our gains."

An extremely strong lizardman who holds the god Talanx's battle spear in one hand and the "Hand of the Gods" in the other, and rides the immortal tyrannosaurus "Quimoc", the war leader Kuga of the Holy Council of the City of the Sun. Sitting high on the throne, its ferocious eyes are observing the situation on the battlefield. His sharp horns and head are decorated with gold. The eyes full of cruelty and bestiality are only full of enthusiasm for war and bloodthirsty killing intent. His golden armor was only adornment—his skin was harder than the strongest steel.

Kuga, an ancient lizardman, is also the last survivor of the lizardmen Ashotor race.

When the Old Sage left, the portal was destroyed, and Chaos came, Kuga and other lizardmen fought against the Chaos Demon. At first, the Lizardmen gained the advantage under the leadership of Slan, but the Chaos Demon was endless, and hundreds of years of war Afterwards, the Lizardman Legion was unable to sustain itself, and Kuga and his army were forced to retreat to the city of Hihot, relying on the magic of Slann for defense.

In the end, the Chaos Demons used a Chaos Storm to invalidate the Slann's magic and slaughtered the entire city, but Kuga led the city's last Lizardmen army and fought a brutal guerrilla war against the Chaos Demons.

This dozen lasted for thousands of years, and it wasn't until the elves created a maelstrom to drain the wind of chaos that Kuga, who had fought guerrilla warfare for centuries with several Chaos demon legions alone, received support.

The greatest lizardman warrior who has lived for seven thousand years was conferred the title of "Lord of War" by the Holy Council of Slann, and he is also the only lizardman who can enter the Holy Council (the other lords are all Slann).

"Call the Pterosaur Legion, and call the Ankylosaurus!" Kuga observed the battle situation, and it immediately made a judgment.

These humans are different from normal humans.

Kuja has already wiped out several waves of human explorers.

Humans are not a very powerful race. This race is greedy, snobbish, and easily polluted by chaos. According to Kuja's understanding, human beings are not a race that is included in the "big plan" and should be eliminated.

According to past experience, the fear is that humans will not be fooled. As long as humans are fooled and enter the ruins, the lizardman army has already won the victory in advance. For hundreds of years, several waves of human expeditionary forces have been wiped out here.

Kuga didn't understand why this human army was so elite, but Kuga knew that this would not work. The loss of the lizardman legion had exceeded expectations, and many lizardman legions had suffered more than half their casualties.

However, this human army has reached its limit. No matter how strong the human discipline is, no matter how elite the human army is, there is still a huge gap in the quality of individual soldiers.

The sharp roar passed through the tropical rainforest.

"Boom~boom~boom~" Ankylosaurus with a height of more than five meters and a body length of more than ten meters appeared.

The three-headed ankylosaurus emerged from the depths of the rainforest under Kuga's command. These ancient giant beasts released their original instincts. Their armor and skin were extremely hard, and their four thick legs strode forward: "Roar~~~"

"Giant beast!!!" The human legion was fighting endlessly with the lizard man legion, and the sharp-eyed soldiers were horrified when they spotted the giant beast, and Pirazzo signaled the crossbowmen and musketeers to shoot at the Ankylosaurus: "Shoot! Shoot the giant beasts! Don't let them come near our formation!"

The crossbowmen turned around, and the dense rain of arrows changed to attack the giant beast.

It has no effect. Ordinary feathered arrows can't break through the hard skin of the armored dragon. Only muskets can cause effective damage to the armored dragon.

There were not many musketeers, and the three-headed ankylosaurus gradually approached the army formation.

The leader of the war, Kuga, raised the spear of the god Talanx in his hand, and let out a wild roar. A large group of pterosaur riders appeared in the sky, and small skink skirmishers rode on them. At high altitude, attacking the human army formation from the side, a rain of javelins fell, and dozens of soldiers were hit on the spot in the blink of an eye.

"Boom!" The first Ankylosaurus approached the army formation. It ignored the siege of the spears, and knocked all the two rows of human soldiers into the air unreasonably. Most of the weapons were ineffective against the Ankylosaurus. Gunners can deal damage to Ankylosaurus.

Under the huge threat posed by the Ankylosaurus, the front line was broken and the expeditionary force was forced to retreat.

Forgan knew that he had to make a move.

The purple figure jumped down from the ruins, and Fulgrim deftly dodged the attack of a lizard warrior. The golden arc of the power sword turned into a purple arc around the body of the Primarch, the Emperor's Son, brightening the nearby All the lizard warriors couldn't open their eyes.

The light disappeared, and all the eight lizard warriors around Fulgen were chopped into two pieces. The wounds were smooth and smooth, with a perfect cutting surface like art. The lizard warriors around him died on the spot before they could even react.

The next second, Fulgrim struck out with a sword again, his speed was as fast as a ghost, his figure was like an eternal nightmare in the subspace, and eight more lizard warriors were cut into two neatly in an instant.

The position of the lizardman army turned into a bloody slaughterhouse. Fulgrim was like a purple phantom. Every time he passed by a place, dozens of lizardman warriors were separated from each other with his next breath. No lizardman warrior followed him. Match his speed against his exquisite swordsmanship.

"Roar!!!" An ankylosaurus rushed towards Fulgrim, its thick front hooves made the ground tremble.

Fulgen didn't dodge, he raised the sword in his hand towards the Ankylosaurus: "Come."

"Roar!!!" The Ankylosaurus released its berserk power. It gradually approached the tall human in front of it, opened its mouth wide, and wanted to swallow the human and turn it into a delicious meal.

Facing the giant beast in front of him, Fulgan only made one movement.

His sword hand flipped slightly at the wrist.

The Ankylosaurus let out an uncontrollable mournful cry. It took two weak steps, and then collapsed on its side. The giant beast's throat was completely cut open, and a large stream of bright red blood spewed out from it.

Fulgrim stood proudly in the center of the battlefield. An entire lizard army was defeated by Fulgrim alone. Two Ankylosaurus fell to his sword one after another.

"Long live the Legion Commander!"

"Fight! Fight!"

"Never give up!!!"

The human morale was greatly boosted, and the soldiers broke out with terrible fighting power, and finally barely killed the lizardman army.

The silver-haired figure stood on top of the corpses of the large group of lizard warriors. Fulgen stretched out the tip of his sword, and the tip of the golden power sword Glory lifted towards the depths of the rainforest, pointing directly at where Kuga was.

Kuga quickly understood that this was a letter of challenge.

Considering the heavy losses of the Lizardmen Legion, which had seriously exceeded what Kuga could accept, the warlord riding the Tyrannosaurus Quimoc finally appeared from the depths of the rainforest.

As if destined to be, Kuga and Fulgrim's eyes met, and the mighty Lizardman Warlord and Primarch, the Emperor's Son, found their respective opponents.

Kuga ran fast on the Tyrannosaurus, and all human soldiers who tried to get close to the war leader were torn to pieces.

Fulgrim walked forward slowly with the golden power sword on his shoulder. All the lizard warriors who tried to stop him turned into rain of blood along the way.

In the middle of the bloody battlefield, in the middle of the smoke from the cannons, in the dense barrage of javelins, feather arrows and muskets, the two sides met.

war!
