Chapter 1018, Sailing on Dry Land

Mortarion, Lord of the Fourteenth Legion, Primarch of Nurgle, Terrible Plaguebearer, Lost of the Damned.

He has always been willing to maintain his rule on a planet located in the Eye of Terror. He is the master of the Plague Star. He does not have much ambition and lacks the motivation to make progress. Rian preferred to stay on his acre and grow and enjoy his new daddy's depraved laughter at the buzzing of foul flies, the sound of rotting streams, and the sound of rotting entrails. He whispered, this is a kind of enjoyment for Mortarion - a home that belongs to him and only belongs to him, and a father who really cares and loves him.

However, the disappearance of other demonic primarchs one after another attracted the attention of the evil gods. In their rage, the evil gods vowed to find out the reason, while Mortarion was asked by the fat grandpa Nurgle to stay in fear. In the eye.

At the beginning, Mortarion listened to Fat Grandpa very much, and he also felt that it was good for him to enjoy life like this.

But it didn't last long, and soon Mortarion began to be seduced by Tzeentch's whispers.

The Lord of Change told Mortarion over and over again that Angron was defeated, Fulgrim was defeated, and Magnus was defeated, but they were all brave and dared to face the challenge, only you, a coward, You trash, once again chose to escape, once again chose to obey, and once again chose to compromise. You are still the coward who fell in the poisonous gas on the top of Barbarus Mountain. You can only wait for others to give you death or save you.

"I'm not a coward!" Mortarion was able to ignore Tzeentch's whispers at first, but his tenacious willpower could not last long. After a period of whispering, the Primarch, who was finally out of anger, told Tzeentch , I am not a coward, and I will never be afraid of challenges.

Tzeentch was ecstatic, and immediately told Mortarion something, and the four gods of Chaos suddenly discovered the clues of the missing Primarch.

Mortarion immediately decided to lead several legions of Nurgle demons through the eternal giant warp space storm, and personally came to "recover" those missing demon primarchs.

Other demon primarchs, no!

I, Mortarion, do!

Our children of Nurgle are truly amazing! I really love Fat Grandpa Nurgle so much!

It's a pity that this journey was not so wonderful. After several legions successfully crossed the eternal giant warp space storm, only one Nurgle demon legion and a team of death shroud squad survived.

And when he came to this world, Mortarion also felt that his strength was suppressed very badly, and the group of Nurgle demons could only temporarily return to the subspace to save their strength under the terrible suppression, waiting for Mortarion's attack. call.

The respirator exhaled mustard-colored foul-smelling gas. Mortarion noticed that his heir, Typhus, the vanguard of Nurgle and the Lord of the Plague Hive, had also successfully passed through the warp storm. Obviously, this guy had been severely injured. He looked very weak, and even the pustules and rotting bee colonies on his body had dimmed a lot.

How much strength does this guy have left? Mortarion wondered secretly how Typhons was doing, but the Primarch knew that unless Typhons asked for help, he would never show any concern or offer any help.

It is impossible for Typhus to ask for help, so the genetic father and his rebellious son are destined to be in this awkward confrontation. In fact, the two are already on the verge of parting ways.

Sure enough, Typhons looked at his genetic father full of contempt and contempt,

Although very weak, he left with a few loyal men.

And Mortarion himself began to prepare to advance to Constantinier, where he would compete with Fulgrim, another demon primarch.

He will definitely win!

………… I am the dividing line of the poisonous gas sprayed by the gas tank………

Vashnah-Destroyer, riding a black dragon, is approaching Konstantinier from the air.

For this great warlord of the dark elf sanctuary who had already served for the four gods of chaos, this trip south was not smooth.

His original plan was to lead his invincible army and catch the city of the sun by surprise, destroy and loot this ancient lizardman city, and then get the reward of the four gods of chaos and peek into more powerful and terrifying secrets.

However, since passing through Naggaros and entering the Lustria Isthmus, he and his army had to repeatedly face the harassment of Tiktato, the Lord of the Sky in the City of the Sun, and his flying brigade. It took an extra week to march and there was no concealment and suddenness. Immediately, the oracle of the evil god made Vashner-World Destroyer feel extremely angry. The evil god asked him and his army to give up attacking the city of the sun and change to Assault Constantiniya, the city of men.

When Vashner's army of more than 40,000 people arrived at the outskirts of Constantiniya, the army of Lord Skaven Skaven and Luther Harken's army of undead pirates had not yet arrived. Vasna quickly judged that There were at least 50,000 troops and 500 artillery pieces plus thousands of cavalry in the city. The dark elf warlord who was loyal to Chaos immediately realized that the two forts outside the city were the large Golden Horn Bastion in the north of the city and the The arrow bastion located in the west of the city must be conquered first, otherwise the siege will be very difficult.

Not beyond Fulgan's expectations for this battle, Vashner immediately ordered to attack the large Golden Horn bastion and the arrow bastion at the same time!

Five Dark Elf Legions and three Chaos Legions immediately attacked the two bastions.

In charge of defending the Bastion of the Golden Horn Bay is the Arabikin mage and the wood elf princess Karona. The defenders have the most powerful spell help and powerful long-range firepower. The large bastion in Jiaowan repelled the six charges of the three Chaos legions within five hours, forcing Vashner to order a retreat and readjust his tactics.

However, the defensive troops of the Arrowhead Bastion in the west of the city are the Estalian Army and the surrendered Imperial Army. These two armies rely on strict discipline and military formations to fight against powerful enemies. The bastion changed hands many times, and both sides paid heavy losses. The reinforcements from the World Destroyer Army and the Legion of Ashes continued to flow, so that the bastion formed a purgatory after repeated changes of hands. Knowing that the bastion outside the city The important Fulgan ordered that the Arrow Bastion must be defended.

However, after several hours of hard fighting, the Skaven army led by the plague lord Skuk arrived in the evening, although the opponent had to stay half of the army in order to escape the pursuit of the Zombie Army and was late for a long time , but the news that the Skaven army appeared in the south forced Fulgrim to order to abandon the arrow bastion and retreat to Constantinier.

On the first day of the defense of Constantinier, the World Destroyer army lost more than 4,000 people.

And the Legion of Ashes lost more than 6,000 people.

It seems that the evil alliance has won the victory, but as the commander of the alliance, Vashnah-World Destroyer discovered a problem.

The captives were few.

This shows that this group of mortals has a very firm will to resist and is determined to fight to the end. Looking at the fortified walls of Konstantinier and the artillery of the defenders, Vashner ordered a temporary halt to the attack.

The size of the Skaven ratman army is almost like locusts. Under the extremely large number, there are large groups of slave rats and clan rats who are plagued by the epidemic. Lord Skuk doesn't care about the life and death of these cannon fodder. The plague monks and plague priests Soon the arrow bastion was occupied, and the various war machines of the Skryli family and the monsters of the Mord family were deployed.

Vashner also sacrificed his big killer—the Chaos Hell Cannon. More than a dozen cannons were deployed on the ruins of the Arrowhead Bastion. These terrible weapons can spit out the shells of the power of Chaos. It was soon covered by the flames of the Chaos Hell Cannon.

However, Fulgrim launched a fierce counterattack at the same time, and a secret passage was left under the arrow bastion.

All were within the plans of the Primarch of the Emperor's Children.

In the early hours of this day, the surprise attack began.

Fulgen personally led the Phoenix Guard to attack from the secret passage. The head of the Ashes Legion appeared on the artillery position of the World Destroyer Army in the dark. Chaos Dwarves, a shield wall composed of Chaos Warriors, and a whole section of the city wall blasted into the sky. Fulgrim's sword tore apart the chaotic clouds covering the sky. He came all the way to kill anyone who dared challenge him. The Chaos Champion and Dark Elf Lord, then retreated into the tunnel and blew up the secret passage before Vashnar could react, leaving only the destroyed artillery positions, the Chaos Hell Cannons smashed into twisted scrap metal, and casualties Extinct Chaos Dwarves.

This ferocious counterattack made Vashner realize the difficulty of this war. The enemy is very powerful, and the battle is orderly and the morale is high.

He decided to wait for Luthor Harken's army of undead pirates to arrive before continuing his attack.

Since then, the first round of probing by both sides has been announced, and each retreats to prepare for the next round of war.

Late the next night, in the base camp of Constantinier, Fulgan discussed the next battle plan with the commanders.

"The enemy surrounded us. After the arrow bastion fell, their fierce artillery fire almost engulfed the city wall. We currently have no good way to solve this problem. We can only continue to repair the city wall." Jerry, who is in charge of the city defense project - Engineer Grimm said: "We have too few helicopters and can only strike limited targets."

"Haven't we already destroyed all the Chaos Hell Cannons of the World Destroyer Army?" Julius also knew that the current situation was very serious, and the commander of the Chasseurs was even a little anxious: "Why does the enemy still have such fierce siege firepower?" ?”

"Because there are still Skavens." Pedro said helplessly: "Every day, the number of Skavens is increasing, and a steady stream of war machines are being transported into the surrounding areas of the city. We have to face them every day." For more firepower, the city now has about 550 guns for defense, but the Skaven have at least 370 guns to lay siege to a single point."

"Let me out of the city!" Julius said firmly: "Let my chasseurs destroy the enemy's artillery!"

"Then you are going to die, Yuli!" Fulgen said, and the Primarch, the Emperor's Son, shook his head: "Going out of the city to fight at this time is tantamount to seeking death, our army is not as good as the army of the Destroyer, and our The city wall is now our strongest support."

Everyone was silent. The tentative confrontation of the arrow bastion made the defenders feel extremely troublesome. With the help of the bastion, the city wall artillery and a large number of fortifications, the Ash Legion still paid more casualties.

"The other party is waiting." At this time, Master Jin spoke. The Sultan of Araby judged the situation, and he shook his head one after another: "The other party is obviously waiting for something to appear, and then launch an attack together."

"That's right, so get ready." Fulgan took a look, and now Constantinier has fallen into the sea of ​​the World Destroyer Dark Spirit + Chaos Army and Skaven: "Strengthen our vigilance, we must persevere .”

"yes!"

Everyone scattered, only Fulgen was left in the base camp thinking about the battle situation.

The room was filled with golden light, and the phantom of Sanguinius walked out from behind Fulgan, and the angel also frowned: "The situation is very bad, my brother."

"I know." Fulgan nodded slightly, the quality of the World Destroyer army far exceeded Fulgrim's expectations.

All Chaos Warriors and Chaos Knights, including a large group of God's Chosen with heavy weapons. At the same time, the Dark Elves also sent a huge number of reinforcements, including Slaanesh Reapers, Shadow Legion and even several legions of Cold One Dread Knights All join the fray, including several war hydras and a black dragon!

An army of such quality made the Legion of Ashes overwhelmed, even if Fulgrim managed to mount a powerful counterattack with the Phoenix Guard.

There is a limit to the power of mortals after all.

what to do? Fulgan was thinking about how to use the existing strength at hand to break the situation.

However, just as Fulgan was drawing up several counterattack plans, Carona, the wood elf princess, suddenly walked in from the outside.

"No! Carona, not now!" Fulgan said without thinking.

"What's wrong?" Carona stomped her feet anxiously: "Fulgan, it's not good! Come and see, the army of undead has appeared on our north bank!"

"The undead army would have appeared from there." Fulgan raised his head: "I have sent troops to guard the Golden Horn, as long as the Golden Horn does not fall..."

"Oh, I don't know how to tell you, come here quickly!" Carona grabbed Fulgan's sleeve and walked out.

Fifteen minutes later, Forgan and others boarded the north wall of Constantinier. The scene in front of them made the defenders speechless in surprise.

On the west side of the Golden Horn Bastion, several undead battleships are advancing on land.

More than a dozen undead legions composed of hundreds of undead pirates are moving together. They use endless strength and tireless bodies to pave a road that is several kilometers long with logs!

The huge undead battleship is being dragged by countless undead, rolling over logs, bypassing the Golden Horn bastion, sailing on dry land, and preparing to directly attack the northern city wall of Constantinier.

Undead Pirate King Luthor-Harken stands proudly on the bow of his flagship, it wields a scimitar, and his revenge is coming!

"Dry land... rowing a boat?!" Seeing the scene in front of him, Fulgan was in a daze for a while, Ryan's words vaguely resurfaced in his mind, but he immediately realized that this would be a fatal blow to the morale of the defenders ! The undead pirates successfully opened a gap in the city defense line of Constantiniya by bypassing the Golden Horn!

Sure enough, the morale of the defenders was hit hard after seeing this scene. The former imperial general Weidenfeller was anxious: "Legion Commander, we can't withstand the siege from three sides. There are less than 2,000 defenders on the north wall."

"I know!" Fulgrim said angrily, "Send two regiments of soldiers here to deal with the undead pirates' attack!"

"Legion Commander, where are our lizardmen allies? Where are the high elves? Will they come to help us?" General Weidenfeller panicked: "Legion Commander? Where are your brothers? Where are their reinforcements?" ?”

Everyone looked at Forgen.

"Now, the most effective line of defense is courage, faith, and justice." Fulgan took a deep breath: "All the citizens of the entire city are watching you, and the gods, don't let them be ashamed!"

"The real war that belongs to our Legion of Ashes is about to begin now!"
