ps: This chapter is 4800 words, I wish you a happy reading!

"Rat mother? Mother mouse?" In the dim underground tunnel, groups of great swordsmen, foot knights and dwarf troops advanced slowly. Although they slowed down, the dwarves followed closely. Kuangsha Literature Network

This time there were more than 20 Rickguards who came down. These Rickguards were not only equipped with melee weapons, but also each had a revolver.

Ryan complained in his heart, the emperor's army is really rich.

For imperial knights, they can be equipped with long-range weapons. For example, the knights of the famous Moorish Knights even usually use long-range weapons, and they will only engage in close combat when forced to do so.

In the south of the empire, the wealthy imperial troops always like to dress fancy, just like the group of imperial flowers in front of them. They wear colorful armor, colorful helmet feathers, fancy tight pants, and With a bunch of decorations, it just doesn't work.

The same is true of the knights of the empire, they are proud of their own, and they hate anyone who compares them with the knights of Britannia. I have never won, and it is the same no matter how many times I have played. Emperor Leopold defeated Britannia by relying on strong cannons, and Emperor Karl Franz defeated Britannia by relying on steam tanks and A strong infantry regiment, finally defeating Kasvann with a flank assault.

Ryan knows that the knights of the empire are actually not bad at fighting. The problem is that the knights of the knight kingdom are too strong. Animals like Holy Grail knights cannot be treated with common sense. Facing the invasion of foreign enemies, the army of the dukes has not arrived in many cases. A Grail Knight with a troop of Grail Pilgrims has won the victory.

Thinking away, Ryan felt Suria pinch him, and quickly turned his attention back.

"No, you humans obviously don't know much about the Skaven. The Skaven mother is the lifeblood of a clan of the Skaven." Bellegar's face was a little excited: "The Skaven mother is the only known Skaven so far." The female of the Kavin Ratman exists, it is the reproductive machine of the entire Ratman clan, generally there are only two to three rat mothers in the entire clan, or even one, and it is responsible for the reproduction of the entire clan."

"The rat mother is a group weighing hundreds of kilograms, without any fighting ability, and even unable to survive independently. If we can eliminate the rat mother of this clan this time, it will be a devastating blow to the rat man clan."

"Write it down quickly!" Helberg hurriedly signaled Rick Wei to write it down quickly.

"If this can be done, it is naturally the best, but since the rat mother has no fighting ability, why did she come to the front line?" Ryan was a little surprised. In this case, why did the rat mother, the most important lifeblood of the rat group, come to the front line? ?

That doesn't sound very reasonable.

"It's food." Bellegar carefully identified the passage of the deep mine, and the King of Eight Peaks Mountain pondered for a while: "The Skavens need food very much, and if a rat mother wants to give birth at all, then it will She needs to eat a lot of food continuously for 24 hours. The castrated slave rats who serve her will constantly inject her with hallucinogenic drugs under the command of the ratman engineer to keep her excited, and at the same time eat crazily. These rats A mother can give birth to a large litter of mice per week, and the mice only need two to three weeks to mature."

Now the old witcher also understood. Master Ernst held a battle ax with a golden iron cross in one hand and a machete with blue runes in the other. The voice said: "If you want the rat mother to give birth to the pups at full capacity, you must ensure a large amount of food without interruption. Therefore, it is not surprising that the rat mother will come to the front line after the ratmen launch an attack and gain something, or We can deduce that... the Skaven never thought that they would not be able to capture Hemgart!"

Bellegar nodded when he heard the words, and the King of Eight Peaks suddenly said in an unknown tone: "Hey,

I have been thinking before, how did you become the supreme mentor of the witcher with your IQ, now I understand, you just don’t want to use your brain to think about problems, you prefer to use your hands instead of your brain Can you speak with a knife and an axe? "

"In the face of heresy, all we need is trial and purification." Ernst was unwilling to talk too much with Bellega, and the grumpy old witcher glared at Ryan. If it wasn't for him, he knew that the Holy Grail Knight would not be corrupted. He might have turned on Ryan.

This is Ernst's logical model.

Everyone continued to descend, and it took more than two hours for this army to go deep into the ground. Unlike everyone's imagination, the depths of the mine were actually stretches of caves, and there were even underground buildings!

Now these buildings made of huge stones have been occupied by ratmen, and there are crude warpstone lighting fixtures and wooden boards everywhere, as well as ratman droppings, emitting an unpleasant stench.

"This place is simply a huge garbage dump." The female knight clenched the hilt of the sword at her waist, and she asked Bellegar: "Look at this architectural style, the arrangement of these huge stones and the fineness of the workmanship. the dwarven stronghold?"

"Shh~" Bellegar walked to the door of a huge stone chamber, and he carefully looked outside: "Clan Rat Patrol!"

"Hey~ha~hey~ha~" A large group of clan rats are patrolling. Among the deep mines and garbage dumps, the number of this group of clan rats is about 500. They are holding swords, shields and spears. Patrol led by several Stormrats.

"Get ready to fight!" Marshal Rick Helberg began to signal the soldiers to get ready for battle. At the same time, he turned to signal Bellegar to order: "Okay, dwarf king, tell me, how should we fight?"

Now that he promised Belgar to obey his command, although Helberg had some objections to the emperor's order in his heart, Marshal Rick undoubtedly fully carried out the emperor's will.

Bellegar stood there thinking for a while, carefully observing the patrol trail of the Clan Rat.

Everyone had to wait patiently.

After five minutes, Bellegar shook his head suddenly: "No, we won't fight."

"Don't fight?" Helberg immediately realized that Bellegar had other plans. Marshal Rick signaled the soldiers to be quiet, but he remained patient: "Tell me your plan, dwarf? The enemy is right in front of you. If you don't fight Give us a reason too."

"Wait until the Ratman comes to the door." Bellegar thought about the situation, and said in a low voice: "If my prediction is correct...everyone, please rest where you are and eat something, and then there will be a tough battle."

The dwarf army had nothing to say. The sworn guards and rangers immediately sat down and took out malt wine to eat with bread. The human army looked at Marshal Rick with some hesitation. After receiving Helberg's order, these loyal The soldiers finally sat down to rest.

During the whole process, not a single knight or a great swordsman said a word, they were like sophisticated war machines, always kept silent and neatly lined up, Bellegar stroked his beard, without saying anything, secretly He nodded, thinking that although the army under the emperor of the empire was not as good as the dwarves, the quality was barely passable.

In the deep mine, Ryan pulled Suria to sit beside him. The stench around him made him have nothing to eat. The earl closed his eyes, and he patiently waited for Bellegar's order.

Bellegar motioned for a few people to have a meeting together.

"I always feel a little uneasy." Suria looked at the surrounding environment, the damp ground, messy garbage dumps, turbid air, and dim light. The female knight leaned on her husband as much as possible: "King Belegar What are we doing here?"

"Obviously, he is waiting. The only thing that can make a stubborn dwarf wait patiently is..." Ryan turned his attention to Bellegar: "The prey we want."

"Exactly." Bellegar nodded, and said in a rough voice: "You are right, buddy, we have to wait for the rat mother here, the underground war is not as good as the above ground, and the number of troops and combat power we can invest at the same time is limited. The area of ​​engagement is also very limited, and in this case, too many people are easy to be exposed, and too few people will not have enough combat power."

In the faint light of the fire, Bellegar continued to deploy tactics: "It is easy to solve the patrol team, but it is not worth the loss to alert the ratmen. This is my plan."

"First, we waited for the mouse mother to appear, and then the demon hunter and the imperial marshal led the great swordsmen and foot knights to set off and head straight for the mouse mother, preparing to deal with the albino guards."

"Then the dwarves will protect your flanks, and the rangers will target and kill those particular ratmen."

"Then, ten times out of ten, there will be that thing protecting the mouse mother, Ryan, to deal with it, I mean, I will leave it to you to deal with it, you Holy Grail knights are always very good at dealing with large behemoths."

"Row."

After the action plan was arranged, the group of people began to wait in a dark corner.

Twenty minutes later, the mouse mother appeared.

The dwarves were fine, but the human army's scalp went numb the moment they saw the rat mother.

It was a wriggling rotten mass, a huge mass that was constantly moving along the ground under the transportation of a large group of slave rats. It was at least three meters long, except for a huge rat head and a tail behind it, it was What was left was swollen into a ball, covered with all kinds of ugly scars, abscesses, and festering marks. Yellow pus dripped down its body, and the cloth could almost be seen through the rotten flesh. The viscera are covered with green spots, hallucinogenic potion and filth are constantly dripping from the rat's head, and the slave rats stuff food into the mother rat's mouth one after another.

There are dozens of protrusions on the ball, and a large group of young rats are sucking on the protrusions. Green stench is emitted from the protrusions. Hundreds of young rats are like mudslides, constantly revolving around the mother rats. , grab food.

Surrounding the rat mother were hundreds of stormrat guards and thousands of clan rats. In addition, there were two albino guards in red armor and a rat troll beside the rat mother.

"That's the rat mother." Seeing the appearance of the rat mother, Bellegar's eyes burst out with endless hatred: "Kill it, and the entire clan of the rat people will decline!"

"Oh, I like this tactic!" Field Marshal Rick Helberg finally got a hint on his stern face: "Soldiers, get ready to fight!"

"Get ready to fight! Dwarf warriors! It's time for the Ratmen to pay their blood." As the Skaven slowly approached, Bellegar signaled that it was time to fight: "Listen to my orders, human soldiers!"

The dwarven army began to take out grenades and detonators from their own weapons, and ignited them with ignition devices.

"Delay for two seconds!"

Almost at the same time, all the detonators and grenades were ignited, and the fuses burned, making a burst of noise.

"??? Dwarf gunpowder! It's a beard thing! Protect, protect the rat mother!" At this time, the Skaven ratmen also discovered the human and dwarf alliance. Instead, the Clanrats and Stormrats began rushing frantically towards the coalition forces.

"Let go!" Bellegar gave an order, and dozens of detonators and grenades fell into the swarm of rats.

Fireworks exploded among the rats, and hundreds of rats were blown to pieces in the blink of an eye.

A lot of detonators and grenades were thrown towards the rat mother. In a hurry, groups of slave rats used their bodies to resist the explosion, which made the command of the rat group chaotic.

"Ah! Beard stuff! Killkill! Human stuff! Diedie!" The rats were in a mess after being attacked by this surprise, and the Stormrats were working hard to command the army, but the coalition obviously wouldn't give them this chance.

"Raise the sword!" Marshal Rick Helberg was the first to draw out the long sword at his waist, and behind him were fifty foot knights and a hundred great swordsmen: "Forward!"

"For the Empire! For Charlemagne! For Emperor Karl Franz! Completely wipe these rats from the empire's territory!" Helberg was the first to charge, with the rune tooth "Hateful" in his hand. The sword chopped the three clan rats into pieces.

"Forward!!!" The foot knights and great swordsmen let out a roar, they rushed into the group of rats, and began hand-to-hand combat, followed by Angrond's sworn guards and rangers.

In the narrow environment of the mine, it is extremely difficult for long-range weapons to perform well. This not only limits the ratmen, but also limits the dwarves. At this time, the walking knights and great swordsmen can finally release themselves With all the strength, especially the great swordsmen, these flowers of the empire are simply the nemesis against the dwarf ratmen.

The two-handed sword is very effective against small units. The Skaven ratmen immediately realized that the clan rats were no match for these human troops. The storm rats wanted to squeeze forward but were blocked by the rats, and they could only scream in anger.

"Tighten up the formation and stand firm!" Bellegar commanded the human army: "Never disperse!"

"Yes!" The human army obeyed Bellegar's command and huddled together.

"Very good, Hal Haval, activate the Iron Dragon Cannon!" Bellega observed the war situation, and then he signaled his chief engineer to take action: "Ms. Suria, please protect our Iron Dragon Cannon."

The Chief Engineer of the Angrund Clan, Hal Haver-Gold Raider nodded, he raised a huge iron pipe in his hand just behind him, and another dwarf held the trigger and igniter, spout and fuel The barrels are connected with hoses.

Under the extremely rapid increase in temperature, a ten-meter-long scorching flame spewed out from the Iron Dragon Cannon. These terrifying flames quickly engulfed the entire Skaven army formation, and all the Skavens burned by the flames were turned into coke. , the fire dragon harvested the ratman's life under the control of the dwarf engineer, and the whole cave was illuminated by fire like daylight.

"Kill! Kill!" Some ratmen tried to approach the Iron Dragon Cannon. Su Liya beheaded the ratmen on the spot, then blocked the rat troll's attack head-on, and directly fought fiercely with this monster.

A brutal hand-to-hand battle unfolded in the underground world. The Ratmen desperately resisted and blocked the offensive of the coalition forces of humans and dwarves. At this time, even the lowest-ranked Ratmen knew that they could not retreat, because the rat mother was right behind them!

Even so, under the fierce frontal battle, the Ratmen gradually collapsed. A Skaven albino guard took out a Dimensional Stone phone: "Crooked? Yaoyaolin? Pick me up, pick up the Ossaid warlord, we met Human stuff, despicable, despicable and shameless sneak attack! We..."

"Boom!" The firecracker from the side exploded the albino guard's head, and the sword and ax in the hands of Ernst, the supreme mentor of the demon hunter, turned into bloody light and shadow, slaughtering the Stormrat who besieged him: "Don't even think about calling reinforcements."

The human army gradually approached the location of the mouse mother.

At this moment, seemingly out of desperation, a bell began to ring from the deepest part of the Ratmen's formation.

"Boom~boom~boom~"

From the depths of the Underworld, a monster like no one has ever seen begins to emerge.

Its body is more than five meters high, and the four-legged torso full of twisted limbs and blood stitches is obviously stitched from the body of a biped wyvern, but the front end of its erect body is full of mouse heads! There were twenty or thirty of them, and these rat heads were howling and hissing in pain. They were smelted together by distorted alchemy and wyverns, and finally formed this extremely evil creature.

On the six arms are either cannons, large knives, plague censers, or spikes, and two dimensional stone machine guns are installed under the armpits, breathing out green flames.

An arm was raised, and the dimensional lightning cannon was fired from its arm. Several great swordsmen were hit by the cannon and were melted into a paste on the spot.

"Deep Pit Hate!!!"
