Chapter 1296, Iron-Blooded Marienburg! Iron-Blooded Capitalist!

When the Chaos Fleet was always heading towards Marienburg without any sign of stopping, and after looting many merchant ships in succession, Marienburg finally realized that something was wrong, and Grand Duke Valverde finally dared not say "Let us Let's see what happens next", instead he cursed the Yankees for being too bullying, greedy and shameless.

It's time, it's time for you to experience what is called an "iron-blooded capitalist"!

"Boom~boom~boom~"

The bell rang, tulip petals fluttered, and the whole city sounded the alarm again after hundreds of years. Grand Duke Valverde yelled in the excitement of the upper and lower houses of Marienburg: "You want to fight, we will fight!" Let's fight! Since when has our empire been afraid of the Yankees?"

"Fight! Fight! Fight! We are all the sons of Charlemagne, and we are all the people of the savior!"

"We will never negotiate peace, we will never compromise!"

"Let the Yankees know how powerful we are, we are iron-blooded businessmen, we are iron-blooded capitalists!"

"Pull the landships out! It's time for these Yankees to taste our wrath!"

The big merchants in the Marienburg House only felt that their face was damaged. Now they are yelling louder than each other. They can’t see that they have ever planned to make peace with Chaos. The main force of the anti-chaos, I am afraid that at this time, because it is not politically correct, it will fall into the trap.

"Our Marienburg has always been a part of the empire, and we have always followed the empire!" Grand Duke Valverde delivered an exciting speech, and he rushed through the streets in a carriage, heading towards dozens of legends in Marienburg. The mercenary group shouted: "Now, soldiers, show your courage and strength. I can assure you that the empire will not ignore us!"

The bell of war spread throughout the city, and about 20,000 Marienburg defenders assembled together. The commander of the city defense, Francisco, ordered the opening of all military warehouses to distribute weapons, and asked Grand Duke Valverde: "My lord, shall we send an envoy to Brunswick for help?"

"Nonsense, of course!" Grand Duke Valverde nodded immediately: "Fort Marien has been an inseparable part of the empire since ancient times. Of course, the empire has an obligation to protect and support us. Send a messenger immediately. Karl Franz's empire cannot Sit and watch this aggression!"

"Then, what about Brittania?" the commander of the city guard then asked.

"Fort Marien is the wealth of the whole world. If it is a loss to the whole world if it is captured by the Yankees, can the Kingdom of Knights rest in peace? Then what kind of chivalry are they worthy of talking about?" Grand Duke Valverde said seriously: "Of course!"

So two messengers were sent out, all the way west to Courona, asking the Brittany to send troops for assistance, and all the way east to Brunswick, asking the Empire to send troops for support.

The foul-smelling wind enveloped Marienburg, and the Chaos Fleet was getting closer. Grand Duke Valverde took out the holy emblem of the pure sea god Mananen on his chest, and prayed loudly: "Mananen, I hope this It was all a misunderstanding."

Whether it was a misunderstanding or not, no one knows, but as the familiar and unfamiliar horns of the barbarians sounded, the Chaos Fleet came!

The defenders of Marienburg smelled the stench and filth in the air, and they felt unwell almost immediately, but the morale of the defenders was high, and the defense of Marienburg was strong enough that almost everyone was concerned about the city's security. With confidence, they may not be able to keep the enemy out of the country for a long time, but at least it will be no problem to persist until the reinforcements of the empire arrive.

With the rapid approach of the Chaos Fleet, the warships of Fort Marien were the first to confront each other. The captains of privateers, armed merchant ships, and sailing battleships commanded the sailors to fire shells. Marienburg did not have that kind of super large battleship. Because this is a commercial city not suitable for garrisoning troops,

But the firepower of the armed merchant ships and frigates was not to be underestimated either, firing a barrage of shells at the Chaos fleet.

The artillery fire penetrated and smashed the dozens of dragon boats rushing forward, but the plague warship was only slightly hindered.

"For Nurgle!" The second brother Ezerac raised his staff, and Nurgle's brilliance shone on the warships. These plague-covered warships showed amazing resilience, and they forcibly pressed against the artillery and continued to approach.

The plague warship continued to advance, and what fell into the eyes of the Marienburg defenders was the Nurgle fleet covering the entire line of sight, completely covering the largest bay and deep-water port in the old world!

Green smoke covered the sky, and a hundred thousand Yankees were bloodthirsty and sang Norscan war songs frantically, they were eager to kill!

The plague army approached quickly, and the Green Wolf came riding the wind and waves. The three Grote brothers were very happy that they could set foot on the land of the empire and indulge in killing. They soon encountered the first obstacle, which was prepared in advance by Marienburg. Seal the sea iron chain!

The steam-powered engine and the engine are starting up quickly under the control of the Marienburg mercenaries. One after another, the thick and giant iron cables rise from the bottom of the sea, stopping the progress of the epidemic army. The eldest brother Otto can't help laughing mockingly , it walked to the bow of the ship, stretched out its big mutated hand and pressed it on the surface of the seemingly indestructible iron cable.

Within a few minutes, after repeated tempering, the surface of the indestructible iron cables, which were made of fine steel, instantly appeared large chunks of corrosion, and black smoke came out. Melted and broken in two.

City Defense Commander Francisco watched in disbelief that the first line of defense was breached in this way. The iron chains that he thought could last for more than three days only lasted less than an hour.

"Bastard, you idiots, what are you doing standing still, fire, fire, fire, fire me!" Francisco immediately realized that all the soldiers were as stunned by the scene before him as he was, and the commander of the city defense hurried towards The artillery yelled, "Fight, free fire, fire on all the Yankees you can see."

Terribly and slowly, the plague fleet slowly approached the sea wall of Marienburg.

Resolute and stubborn, the coastal defense batteries bark, pouring out human rage.

The yellow-green poisonous smoke and the black smoke of gunpowder in the air filled the sky. Hundreds of solid shells were fired one after another. With the anger of iron-blooded capitalists, they bombarded the plague army fleet, and indeed caused considerable damage to the warships of Nurgle, but this was obviously not the case. No matter what the problem is, no matter how shocking the wound the solid shells are on the surface of the dragon boat, the plague and rotting substances covering the hull will immediately ooze out layers of sticky and thick substances to block the gap, and it only takes a little time Filled.

In this way, the plague army fleet has been advancing against the extremely fierce coastal fire artillery of Fort Marien until the mercenaries of Fort Marien can see the barnacles all over the warship. The plague army lingering in thick smoke is like a battle The nightmare made the people of Marienburg pray that they would wake up as soon as possible, especially the group of Yankee marauders whose bodies were festering and the heavily armored Chaos Eternal who couldn't wait to be agitated.

But just as the people of Marienburg firmly believe, Marienburg's terrible coastal fortifications, seawalls tens of meters high, coastal defense forts as numerous as stars, and the Nanlao's granite and obsidian piles, specially invited The fortifications that the dwarves came to guide made the Yankees feel that they were facing a solid turtle shell that could not be opened.

The three Grote brothers once thought that Marienburg was a fragile and vulnerable city as rumored, but now they realized that they were wrong. This city built in the wetland bay is really strong. Behind the huge city wall is the heavy accumulation of splendid civilization and brilliant business history in the old world over the past 2,000 years, and it can be traced back to the golden age when high precision arrived in the old world 5,000 years ago.

Now everyone is focusing on the sea gate in the Osterport Fjord, which is the only access to the inner sea of ​​Marienburg. The three Grote brothers then ordered the dragon boats to attack the sea gate.

The Marienburg garrison has been prepared for a long time. Although the upper and lower houses of the New Marienburg headed by Grand Duke Valverde did not immediately decide to ask for help and recruit new troops on a large scale when they learned of the appearance of the Chaos Fleet, but to rectify their armaments And mobilizing mercenaries, checking fortifications has been done all the time, they have mobilized 6000 muskets in the warehouses of major chambers of commerce!

These muskets range from the earthen handguns and shotguns made in the countryside of the empire to the precision muskets produced in the Nuer military factory and even the dwarf workshops.

Behind the first wave of attacking troops, more plague warships creaked around the port every minute. Horde warriors poured into the hail of bullets like broth in a boiling cauldron, and the flood of flesh and blood was sent to the wooden planks below the dock.

Those who were not destroyed rose up and rushed forward, only to be crowded upon a grove of spears, which pressed them back wherever they struck. Even if champions in heavy armor charge into the field, they will be blocked by low-hanging halberd bushes, their faces will be pierced by the enemy's blows, and their internal organs will be torn.

A storm of bullets from 6,000 muskets tore apart any Yankees who tried to get close.

The second wave, the third wave, each time thousands of people smashed their halberds in front of the sea gate of Marienburg, and its special position made it impossible for the Chaos army to spread out at all.

Puffs of thick smoke rose from the artillery position on the sea gate of Marienburg, and the indiscriminate bombing of the coastal defense batteries finally caused the visible loss of the Nurgle fleet that the three Grote brothers were proud of.

After Chaos attacked several times in a row and lost troops, the morale of the Marienburg defenders soared. Grand Duke Valverde, who was overseeing the battle, sat with a large group of MPs, celebrating with champagne and cheering for victory.

"Our Marienburg is invincible!"

"Fort Marien will never fall!"

"Our coastal defense technology is number one in the world!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"We are born with noble status. It doesn't matter if we have less work. The work should be given to people with strength."

"General Francisco has experienced many battles, so you can leave it to him."

"Fucking Yankee, when our coastal defense fort and city fire artillery in Fort Marien are fake?"

"Well, I'm the happiest today!"

The viewing platform is full of happy laughter.

In contrast, the eldest brother and the second brother of the three Grote brothers looked troubled. They really did not expect the defense of Marienburg to be so strong. The eldest brother Otto was about to say something, a big explanation from far to near The Lijutsu ray almost hit him, and instantly disintegrated the Nurgle God's Chosen warrior beside him into a pile of dust.

"Brother, what should we do?" The second elder brother Ezerak suddenly said a little unconfidently: "The Nanke's artillery is too fierce, we can't attack it!"

"Don't panic, second brother, you go to deal with those wizard towers, attack the city and watch me." Otto raised his plague scythe, and ordered: "Prepare for airdrop tactics!"

"Airdrop tactics!"

The Nurgle battleship quickly started to move. There were some poorly designed ballistas on the dragon ship. These ballistas could only throw stones. Not only was the distance not far, but their power was very limited. The defenders of Marienburg laughed at the Yankees The backwardness, only occasionally a few unlucky ones were hit by stones.

But things seem to have changed now.

In every place visible to the naked eye, three to six Chaos Warriors stood together. They hung battle axes or great swords on their waists, put shields on their wrists, stood in a row holding hands, and hugged each other. They clump together like an iron lump, pressing their bodies against the ballista.

Many monsters came out of the battleship, and they began to pull hard on the shooting arm of the ballista under the order of the chaos warlock, and dozens of Norscan marauders pulled together, and the battleship of Nurgle even happened in this case. tilt.

The defenders on the city wall of Haimen watched this scene happening simultaneously on hundreds of warships with dull expressions. While they were still thinking about what the Yankees were going to do, there was a loud bang, followed by dozens of bangs .

The iron lump fired.

The people of Marienburg watched in amazement as dozens of iron lumps composed of Chaos Warriors flew up into the sky, crossed the sky high, fell, and hit the coastal defense forts and city walls. The ground trembled, the sea water rolled, and the ground was smashed Big pits one after another.

The Yankees are... using people as shells?

Bring someone to die?

While everyone was still laughing at whether the Yankees were out of action, the people of Marienburg quickly realized what a terrible mistake they had made. After the group of Chaos Warriors who were treated as cannonballs stagnated for more than ten seconds, They got up like nothing happened, and then started to attack. This group of heavily armored Chaos warriors faced the musketeers and coastal defense artillery at close range. Isn't it random killing?

Well, haven't they been smashed to death, crushed to death, or thrown to death?

This, this chaos is unreasonable!

The mercenaries in Marienburg backed away in horror, watching the shore fire artillery positions being destroyed by the Chaos warriors who landed. Even those outstanding veterans among the mercenaries, it would be difficult for them to fight alone without the support of the army. Opponents of the Warriors of Chaos, the Chaos Eternals who sang the name of Nurgle smashed the stationary shore artillery with their shields, slaughtering the chaotic and receding artillery with sword or battleaxe or halberd.

"Come again! Come again!" Eldest brother Otto laughed loudly. The Chaos Warriors formed large iron bumps. Under the joint force of giant beasts and barbarians, they smashed into the city wall of Marienburg like a meteor shower. Every pimple will smash a big hole and cause damage, and then these chaotic warriors will stand up like no one, and attack the defending army.

"Me too." The third brother, Guruit, not to be outdone, suddenly raised his body and spit out more than a dozen large egg sacs. The Yankees packed these egg sacs in each crossbow shell while laughing wildly. On the rack, every guy in the egg sac struggles in the fleshy launch rack.

With a series of loud blasts, the catapult fired the projectile.

These oocysts fly over the front and splash down into the gutter behind. Only a few mercenaries were hit by the shelling, either thrown into the dirt by strange projectiles, or simply smashed to pieces.

When the attention of the people of Marienburg was focused on the Chaos Warriors ahead, the guards marching on the streets of the waterway dock area ignored the foreign objects with messy limbs, but these monsters with limbs had already meandered into the crowd.

This is a catastrophic mistake. Those bubbles splashed into the reddish-brown silt of the drainage ditch greedily absorbed the filth flowing around them, and expanded rapidly until the trapped prisoner's limbs erupted continuously in the translucent egg sac. The ferocious and twisted monster eggs opened their wet mouths, and these chaotic eggs fell behind the defense line, screaming angrily towards the sky.

Then they started to attack from behind. A Chaos Egg waved its long tentacled arm, sweeping away a whole row of soldiers, then grabbed a poor mercenary, and bit off its head.

Wave after wave of Chaos Eggs and Chaos Warriors huddled together were directly thrown into the city over the defensive space, and the massacre began.

All Marienburgers were surprised by this tactic.

That's okay too? ? ?

With chaos, the people of Marienburg immediately began to show signs of decline.

After ten hours of fighting, dozens of shore fire artillery positions gradually fell silent, leaving only broken and displaced gun barrels, broken corpses all over the ground, artillery cowardly fleeing, and the defenders on the city wall of Haimen for a long time. After the war, it began to collapse, and the soldiers were defeated and fled around. Most of the mercenaries in Marienburg worked with money, and they would not fight a war that was bound to lose.

The upper and lower houses of Marienburg believed that the coastal defense fortress that could last for at least three months lasted for less than a day. The Chaos army successfully landed, stepping on the corpses of thousands of Marienburg defenders, and landed on the land of the empire.

The three Grote brothers strode forward on the coast, and Otto and Ezerac stood on the body of the third brother Guruit. When they planned to announce that Marienburg belonged to Nurgle and ordered the start of plunder With the muffled roar of distant gunfire, the sound of heavy objects marching, and the sound of steam whistles, something held back the Yankees' advance.

Three land ships "Marienburger Landed", "Lehman Brothers" and "Tulip" joined the battlefield as Marienburg's trump card!

At the same time, under the order of Grand Duke Valverde, the large ogre mercenary group, led by the legendary ogre leader Corob Dawei, announced its participation in the war!
