Chapter 358 Before the Curtain Call (Part 1)

After sobering up, the North dwarves successfully conveyed the bad news from the land of giants - the trolls were restless, and the dwarf butchers discovered that a large number of trolls and giants were pouring into the troll kingdom.

At the same time, while planning new construction projects in the city, dwarf technicians accidentally discovered strange movements coming from underground.

They used the exploration machine to get an unpleasant feedback from the underground. There were a large number of humanoid dwarves who were definitely rat men, heading south along the underground cavity.

Obviously, these things have nothing to do with the dwarves, but after losing the containment of the Eslin tribe, they do not mind restarting information exchange with the human kingdom in the south.

In the southern state, the Cossack Legion stationed at Djakova Fortress encountered a sudden greenskin invasion when they were switching defenses with the Griffin Legion detachment from Kislev City.

The goblins were all killed outside the city wall by Gossa's arrows, and the orcs were disorganized by several rounds of charges after the hussars joined the battlefield.

There were three or four thousand of them, but the human garrison in this fortress also had that number, so their attack was in vain.

The adjutant of the Griffin Legion, who led the army on behalf of the Tsar, speculated that this was just a green-skinned vanguard, and the scouts he sent to conduct reconnaissance at Red Eye Mountain never came back.

It was not until three days later that a lightly armored rider covered in blood returned to the fortress.

Now everyone knows that the greenskins are coming soon. According to the observations of the scouts, there are tens of thousands of them.

Obviously, this is not an enemy that a fortress can repel. It is time for the Tsar to call all the brothers of the Griffin Legion to guard the fortress.

The Bretonnian expedition approached the Ostermark Land along the border of the Osterland.

During this period, they were attacked by beastmen many times, but some wandering beastman thieves were no match for the knights.

When they entered the border of Ostermark, they encountered a night attack by the undead. In front of tens of thousands of lances, all the fools who dared to offend them lay back in the dirt.

Maybe the Lady of the Lake sent them here to purify the undead. There seemed to be no other enemies worth caring about on the land of the Imperials.

As for the Norscans that the Imperials were worried about?

They retreated after a tentative attack on the port, and it turned out that the Norscans were not the biggest threat to the Bretonnians.

Just as Egil expected, humans will always focus on one point when facing the plunder of the Norscans.

Prejudice is eternal, the Norscans discriminated against the physical qualities of the Imperials, and the Imperials laughed at the Norscans' intelligence.

When Egil changed his mind and used the Empire's tricks to carry out a smuggling operation, no one detected the conspiracy.

They successfully entered the interior of the Oster Territory.

Of course, Norscans are not good at hiding by nature. They will always swarm towards human towns. Every warrior of the Blood God will not think about anything other than fighting.

However, under the chief's strict orders, the warriors of Skelling suppressed their desire to rob towns. They only massacred a few remote villages to relieve logistical pressure. After all, not all Norscans were Chaos warriors.

The tribe's wizards used some simple magic to hide this huge army. At least the stupid southerners never discovered them.

The southerners will be pleasantly surprised when they find the energetic Norscan army behind them during a hard battle.

After solving the surprise sent by the beastman, Lynch discovered something strange.

The several vampires he captured later reported the different locations of the stone slabs. Based on the trajectories they described, Lynch was certain that this was not a clue to multiple stone slabs, but that one stone slab was being moved to a hiding place.

This is not surprising, it would be abnormal if the vampire allowed him to dig up the grave and take away the stone slab.

After visiting dozens of local nobles along the way, Lynch discovered that the migration tracks of the stone slabs were all deliberately avoiding one area.

In order to avoid Lynch's pursuit, the stone slab has traveled outside the northwest of Sylvania, and its footsteps have even been repeated.

Now it lingers in southern Sylvania.

There seems to be a powerful entity roaming the southwestern swamps of the land.

Maybe the vampire wants to use that unknown existence to deal with the lizard man.

Nagash withdrew his gaze from Kislev, not even thinking of glancing at Sylvaniya.

The Imperials were about to advance their army to Tarenhof Castle. The Skaven did not attack the Imperials' rear from the west as planned. The situation seemed to be very bad, if it was not here.

Even without restraint from the underground, the Imperials encountered obstacles in Sylvania.

Usoran did a good job. The descendants of Sigmar were as fragile as Nagash expected. Their legions were retreating steadily in the southern swamps, and their opponent was just a vampire of the Strigg family.

The Imperials have never been an obstacle to Nagash. It only needs a few random waves after the ceremony is completed to destroy the seemingly invincible human army.

The Beastmen's helping hand came at the right time. Although they could only harass the Imperials' supply lines, with their restraint, Nagash gained valuable time.

After today, time won't be so precious.

As expected, the dwarves of the World's Edge Mountains cooperated with the empire in reacting accordingly. More than three hundred dwarves had already reached Eshen from Torrent Pass, but their army was in Karak Kaderin. This made Nagash Their movements cannot be determined.

Are those more than three hundred dwarves seeking death? Or are the dwarves preparing to attack from both the north and the south?

Before today, Nagash would have cared about the dwarves' actions, but now everything was different.

The time has come.

After "Coward" Fermat discovered the traces of human construction, he was able to determine that they had arrived at the original site of the Strige Empire.

It's strange that the residents of this vampire empire didn't resist at all. Fermat thought that the green tide would encounter strong obstacles, but Usuoran didn't seem to be here.

There are very few vampires and humans in the ruins of the Strig Empire, but the number of ghouls is in line with Fermat's expectations.

The Strigs hid underground when they discovered the green tide, but in front of the green tide, the Ghoul King's protection was not so effective.

Groups of big guys knocked the Strigg bloods to death one by one, and the ghouls became food for goblins and grts. Their number was enough to fill the dense underground mines, but there were more greenskins.

Their human subjects have since followed in the footsteps of their patrons.

The head of the Strig blood champion, who was probably the "Guardian General", was easily broken by Gorbad Iron Claw, and it was hung on the side of the orc war general's war pig.

The poor, disillusioned vampire witnessed another disaster in the land of Strig.

Maybe it should get used to it, like it did when the Strigor Empire was destroyed by the Green Tide.
