Chapter 1332 How Did the Empire Become Like This?

With Lawn's fall, the situation of the defense of Brunswick gradually became clear.

There are still about 80,000 people in the three-way Nurgle army outside the city to block the attack of the Knights' Road Crusaders. The current situation is that after the battle of the four major demon armies of Chaos, there are still about 100,000 Knights' Road Crusades left. to 50,000 people.

Ryan was seriously injured, and the commanders were all exhausted. Suria tried to reorganize the crusade army. The number of Norsca dwarves was too small to establish a victory. After the tragic war, the wood elf army was defeated, and the human army was also crumbling. Because Ryan's personal prestige guarantees that no Britannian dares to turn around and run away.

It was already exhausted, and even Diego was dragged back to the camp by the great griffin Imperius.

The Jihad army from the south and the undead army from the east are in the state of sandwiching cheese between two breads, besieging the Nurgle army. The eastern front belongs to the three brothers of the maggot cavalry and the three kings of the undead, Akhan and Gul. , Luthor-Harken's battlefield.

The 60,000 members of the three brothers of the maggot cavalry and the 50,000 members of the three kings of the undead fought in full swing. The Tarabheim massacre army faced Akhan's tomb guard army and Gul's Nagashza personal guards. And Luthor's Deep Sea Guard.

In terms of elites, the undead must have the upper hand, but there is no doubt that one Yankee can deal with ten zombies or five skeleton warriors than the quality of miscellaneous soldiers.

Both sides can look forward to the arrival of reinforcements. The Chaos army still has Zan Aike's Tzeentch Legion and the Beastman Dark Prophet Malago's herd army can be mobilized. special reinforcements.

The situation in the city is already very critical. Almost all of the northern city has fallen, and the southern city still has the palace, the cathedral area, and the Nuer defense circle in the southeast of the city. It is still in the hands of the empire. In addition to the Nuer army, there are about 30,000 people defending the defense. However, the Imperial Army under the command of Marshal Helberg was already less than 15,000, and all of them were scattered throughout the capital and resisted sporadically.

In contrast, the main force of the three Grote brothers plus Gorchritt's army of breathers still has a scale of about 100,000. Now the backbone of the main force resisting the main force of Nurgle's army in the city is no longer the turn of the imperial defenders. Under the statue of Charlemagne and his twelve paladin companions in front of the Imperial Palace, there is a melee between Vlad's army of the living dead and Groat's army.

The last palace guards of the empire watched helplessly as the undead and the Yankees fought fiercely at the gate of the palace, but none of them dared to leave their posts without permission. This extremely ironic scene made the warriors of the empire ashamed and grateful.

At the same time, the corruption of Nurgle is also deepening in the city of Brunswick.

The battle wizards of the empire have exhausted all their strength, but the infinite life of Nurgle Garden will spread to every corner of the city,

For this reason, a total of 53 shadow wizards turned their bodies into a mass of ashes in order to defend the sanctuary in the slums. In the end, they failed to stop the corruption of Nurgle, and the entire sanctuary became a mutated hell. It is a team of semi-demonized poor workers who praise their loving father and contribute to the prosperity of Brunswick all their lives. They have chosen to throw themselves into the embrace of their loving father.

The remaining metal wizards of the Academy of Alchemy wove a great spell, covering their chimney fortress with a layer of inert adamantium, so that Nurgle plants could not grow on it. However, even metal must succumb to the forces of decay: the sheets quickly rust and crumble, revealing tiny push-sprouts and swelling mold, and gradually the chimney fortress is covered by the gardens of Nurgle, and the metal wizards wake up Finding themselves in the realm of chaos, what awaits them is a tragic fate. After all, there will be no more Ryan personally venturing into the Garden of Nurgle to hunt for people.

The Academy of Light is protected by the Pyramid of Light. There are still a large number of light mages who venture into the jungle-covered streets to fight against the Chaos army. Over time, these bright mages were gradually engulfed by Nurgle's poisonous mist. Amid coughing, screaming, and struggling sounds, the bright mages fell down one after another.

The high tower of the Sky Academy has been covered by Nurgle's mutated strain. Hurricane Tianyi Mocheng completed his mission after destroying three Chaos Demon Legions in a row. The Chaos Storm swept it, leaving only a pile of broken copper and iron.

The mages of the Emerald Academy summoned emerald life energy to fight against corruption in their courtyards, but the trees in their courtyards were the first to mutate. These ancient magical trees first betrayed the emerald wizards, and then the emeralds The wizards themselves mutated into sarcoma trees unknowingly while casting spells, until all of them merged with the woods in the courtyard and became one, achieving the great harmony of life.

Fortunately, Amber College and Amethyst College were not in Brunswick, so they escaped the crisis.

If there is any academy in the empire that has the greatest effect against Nurgle, then it must be the Academy of Flames. The flame mages are extremely ferocious, and their flames are enough to prevent the Nurgle jungle from spreading.

In order to guard the capital of the empire, these flame wizards turned themselves into living flames, attacking demons, flowers and vegetation with their bodies, and burned them to ashes with burning touch.

For eight hours, the Academy of Flames has been burning with the Purifying Fire, surrounded by black garbage lit by the Fire of Contempt, and the flame wizards told Nurgle, we are not afraid of your heavy rain, and we are not afraid of your corruption .

Then the flame mages went to death.

Nurgle noticed this group of thugs who were unwilling to accept his favor, and the loving father felt that it was necessary to give them some color, so the storm blew more and more violently over the academy, and the violent downpour fell one after another, like a tide of milky white pus Quenched the glorious fury of the fire mages defending their homeland.

After several hours of heavy rain, the tower of the Flame Academy finally dissipated the last gleam of flames.

One by one their flames were extinguished, and the losers, trembling and covered in a viscous fluid, fell to the ground, having reduced Nurgle's creations to ashes, and now themselves like burnt candles. The rest of the wax oil is the same, and the human shape can no longer be seen.

"The palace must be guarded." Vlad von Carstein, the Elector of Sylvania, had a gray face. He spit out foul-smelling bile, and after being parasitized and killed by the hornbeam seeds of Nurgle once, Vlad was resurrected immediately, but Nurgle's influence didn't disappear so easily, the plague god's corruption still plagued the Lord of Death in Vlad's body, and Vlad had to use all the power of Nagash It was only then that they were able to resist, which greatly damaged Vlad's strength, and also greatly reduced the strength of his undead army. The undead army that was originally responsible for guarding the area near the palace soon lost to the Yankees and was beaten back steadily.

Vlad was in great pain. Yellow-green mucus flowed from his mouth and nose. The curse of Nurgle troubled him, which caused his strength to regress from a demigod to the peak of the sanctuary. He needed a lot of time to get rid of Nurgle's curse. , but he knew he was running out of time and he had to hurry.

Likewise, the three Grote brothers, who were heading towards the Imperial Palace, also saw the twin-tailed comet.

"The star! The star is coming!"

"The stars have been aligned, big brother, third brother, we must hurry up!"

"Me too~"

The three Grote brothers also noticed the twin-tailed comet. These three brothers were infused with more blessings by Nurgle because of their contribution to breaking Brunswick. Now the three Grote brothers are already Grote-authorizers, They all possessed the power of a demigod, and the surrounding Yankees knelt down one after another, shouting the names of Otto, Ezerac, and Guruit.

As the fighting power of the undead army declined, they were gradually forced back by the three Grote brothers, but the gate of the palace was impenetrable.

The three Grote brothers didn't take it seriously. Following their call, a two-legged living copper bull rampaged on the bloody and chaotic battlefield. The dark runes on its battle ax exuded white scorching destructive energy.

Behind the live copper bull, a group of Drakewald Minotaur roared and ran wildly, everywhere was crowded with horns and bloody flesh. When the giant brass bull rushed over, the spearmen blocking the way couldn't help screaming in fear. The thick-handled spears broke on the monster's metal skin, and the spearmen slipped backwards in the mud, or were scattered in fright. The rune battleaxe of the copper bull rose and fell with the force of a severed head, splitting a man in half with each blow.

The Minotaur was too powerful for the remaining Imperial defenders, and the Imperial defenders broke and fled, the ranks scattered.

The Elector Marius led a small number of remaining Golden Fleece knights to face the Minotaur gang. The short-range hand guns or wheel fire guns shot sparks on the metal surface of the copper bull, but nothing happened in the end. The copper bull knocked the Elector Marius to the ground. It first praised the power of the blood god loudly, but did not directly kill the Elector Marius. Instead, under the orders of the three Grote brothers, it forcibly broke into the palace. At the gate, the copper bull was proud of its great achievements. It raised its head and hit its chest with the rune battle axe.

At this moment, an amber light flashed, and a black feathered arrow sank into the only place on the throat of the copper bull that was not covered by the metal skin. On the ground, put down the bow of amber, reviewing the results of his battle.

The bronze beast let out a gurgling scream, rolled its eyes in the metal eye sockets, and fell to the ground dead, crushing six skeleton warriors.

Although the empire and the undead coalition forces are still resisting, the gate of the palace has been broken open, and the three Grote brothers personally led the "Groot Army" to arrive. Chaos warriors, more than 1,500 Norscan champion warriors and the remaining more than 2,000 marauder riders, berserkers, Kurgans, Norscan fishers, and abandoned elites, and the three Grote brothers The last trump card.

In contrast, there are only 300 guards left in the palace, and the undead army summoned by Vlad von Carstein.

The Elector Marius, who was in charge of guarding the palace, was seriously injured, and was dragged out of the battlefield by his Golden Fleece Knights desperately. Pieces of zombies jumped down from nearby buildings like raindrops and fell on the Yankees to entangle them. Huge skeleton warriors armed with spears and shields formed a shield formation, trying to block the road under Vlad's order.

But still couldn't fight, Ezerac's magic exploded in the shield wall, Otto's scythe cut through the reinforced skeleton, and the three Grote brothers were closer to demigods than anyone in the old world at this time.

Grand Duke of Nord and Elector Theodoric Geisel bravely led the Nord Royal Guard to fight against the undead. He chopped down six Nurgle God's Chosen warriors with the Rune Fang and was stabbed by two halberds. Afterwards, the Chaos Warrior with a heavy weapon cut him into two from the shoulders to the waist.

The three steam tanks were launched, and the third brother Guruit rushed up directly against the artillery to grab the body of the steam tank, and then slammed it hard. The steam tank quickly rotated back and forth like a top, and Guruit slapped one after another. Sideways, the top spins faster and faster, and finally rolls over, releasing boiling water and scalding steam in all directions. The scalded engineers screamed in pain and tried to climb out, but they were quickly cut to pieces by the plaguebringers who surrounded them.

The battle continues.

At this time, two big griffins flew over the sky.

Flying towards the center of the besieged city, the emperor's feathered helmet shot into the sky. Emperor Karl Franz and Greg Mattak the Chief Wizard are finally back.

The emperor watched in disbelief as his city burned.

In the east of the city, the battle between the three kings of the undead and the three brothers of the maggot cavalry group is still going on. Gul, holding a black axe, hacks and kills a group of Yankees. entangled with demonic creations.

In the west of the city, the Knights Road Crusaders and the remnants of the three Grote brothers were still fighting. Karl Franz saw Ryan's iris banner and the Old Guard's tricolor flag, but he couldn't quench his thirst.

In the city, apart from Nur, the human defenders were still defending the southeast defensive circle, the northern and western districts were close to falling, and only the eastern district was temporarily preserved under the joint efforts of the undead and humans.

What about the palace? Where is Charlemagne's throne? The emperor couldn't help confirming the location of the palace in panic. He vaguely confirmed the location of the palace from the direction of the huge building covered by vines, creepers, and poisonous moss.

The scene in front of him made the emperor's mouth wide open. He saw a steady stream of undead army and elite Yankee army fighting in the imperial palace. It seemed that the undead army was not only on the side of the empire, but also that cursed Feng- The owner of Carstein personally commanded from the nearby bell tower, and fought to the death to defend the imperial palace and the Chaos army, and even joined the battlefield in person.

And what about humans? What about the army of our empire? The emperor saw that the palace was full of undead and Yankees, and he couldn't see a few imperial soldiers at all, so he couldn't help but cursed in pain.

"TMD! How did the empire become like this?"

Mattak, who was behind him, was also confused by the battle situation. The chief wizard was not a military and political strongman like Gelt, and Mattak didn't even know how to manage the internal affairs of the Magic Academy. His first reaction at this time was his old profession: "Your Majesty, we should go to the Imperial Zoo immediately!"

"What to do at the zoo, release all the monsters?" Karl Franz frowned.

"That dragon! My lord, only you can awaken it. If we have the power of that dragon, we still have a chance!" Matak raised his opinion cautiously.

"Imperial Dragon? It's too late." The emperor thought for a while, and he saw the twin-tailed comet. The warm light on the star and the glorious power that symbolized the empire made some pictures faintly appear in the emperor's mind, as well as the ancient Prophecy: "No, let's go to Hammer Hall!"

"Hammer Hall?" Matak's old face immediately became tangled up: "But Your Majesty, Gael Malaz is not there!"

"Yes, I know it's not there." The emperor nodded: "You can wake up the imperial dragon, and I will give you the power, but I, as the emperor of the empire, must be with the empire even at the last moment. I will be put to the ultimate test under Gail Malaz."

The Emperor ordered Deathclaw to fall, and Mattak had no choice but to follow.

The three Grote brothers, who had broken through the line of defense of the undead, happened to see the emperor of the empire and the chief wizard of the imperial family descend from the sky.

"Good! Good! My dear father, the big one is coming!"
