Chapter 365 The Long Night (6)
By now everyone is sure that the enemy they are facing is the Rat Man from the urban legend.
If any more imperial scholars dare to stand in front of them and talk nonsense and promote the "rat-free theory", every knight will have the confidence to leave a shocking slap mark on their face.
madman!
Ictor stared dumbfounded at the Imperial Knights who were still charging despite the dense rain woven by Ratlin, and almost lost their grip on the experimental ball in their hands.
Crazy, humans are all crazy.
This is simply impossible. Why can't their tattered armor be penetrated by warpstone bullets? Why does their exposed skin only turn into charcoal instead of being torn off completely?
As if reality was joking, humans shouting the name "Sigma" were running rampant among the rats. The most seriously injured human knight had even been shot through the chest by a Dimensional gun, but the fatal injury was on him There seems to be nothing on my body.
From a scientific perspective, these human contraptions should be dead long ago.
But it was magic, although Ictor was sure that the human mages were not casting spells on these knights at all.
Ictor couldn't help but recall the tragic situation during the last war with the empire. Back then, these humans with backward weapons also despised reality so much that thousands of rats could not even cross hundreds of human soldiers.
Now it seems that the original failure was no accident.
Maybe it's time to retreat and let the Gray Prophet face this city of lunatics alone. Ictor doesn't want to die in a stray bullet.
The great engineering warlock installed the dimensional cannon with great skill, without even daring to calibrate it, and escaped into the sewer in the blink of an eye. Humans were about to rush in this direction.
The unlucky rat man who was selected tremblingly took over the post and controlled the fort under the command of the engineering warlock from a distance of dozens of meters.
There is no doubt that firing a cannon at the human tower is the most valuable at this time, but no rat man is willing to pay his life for this. They would rather send a cannon to the enemy in front of them.
So they do.
The sound of artillery shocked the entire Xicheng District, and the human artillery fire from other directions became insignificant in the roar that resounded through the sky.
Ictor quickly used the depth of the sewer to avoid the self-exploding dimensional stone cannon. The human knight who was rushing towards the Skaven gun position was not so lucky.
Green flames swallowed up a dozen connected buildings and more ratmen than Sha Shuo. The billowing green light broke through the dark clouds, and the shock wave swallowed up the demi-gryphon and its knights with a green heat wave.
The horrific explosion flattened everything within a few hundred meters in an instant, and the high temperature vaporized flesh and blood. When the smoke and clouds dissipated, only a pool of crystallized green glass remained in place.
Ikot ran away for nearly a kilometer in the sewer before stopping. It was sure that the human was dead and breathing. No matter what, the cannon it assembled completed its mission, even though the cannon should have flattened the human. Tower, instead of just killing a demi-Gryphon Knight.
A slight tremor echoed underground, which was normal. There were gunshots everywhere in the city.
But Ictor was keenly aware of a completely different vibration - a large group of giant creatures passing by on the ground.
It cautiously approached the ground and took a peek at the outside world through the gap connecting the ground:
A total of fifty-one humans riding half-gryphons were rushing towards the rat-men's ground positions. As the Horned Rat could testify, the rats could not stop them at all.
Without hesitation, Iket ran towards the depths of the underground without looking back, approaching the looming bell.
If the Gray Prophet did not retreat, Ict would have acted out how he disappeared unexpectedly and reappeared after the battle.
Let Nagash and the Beastmen fight the humans to the death. The Skaven should not appear on the ground. They should continue north to steal the bodies of the gods instead of fighting the Imperials for short-term gain.
Mrs. Kisri is much easier to bully than the Imperials. At least that's what the mutant pioneers of the Corrupt Clan told Ictor. Skaven who don't look for weak targets are undoubtedly unqualified.
Just as the Elector expected, the Knights of the Blood Shield accomplished their mission brilliantly. First, the enemy's firepower on the north side disappeared, and then, the noise in the east and west stopped.
The support of the Knights of Tar's Wrath was the last straw to defeat the enemy. When the half-griffon knights emerged from the darkness and crushed the swarms of rats into dregs, the boundless swarm of rats began. Fleeed.
Nok and his colleagues of the Black Griffin Knights are hiding in the Griffin Forest in the Ostermark Territory. This is an ironic fact. These knight captains who were supposed to be commanders on the front line have now become wandering resistance forces. leader.
This dark forest trapped their eyes, and they didn't even know what was happening in the outside world, or whether the empire's legions were defeated by the vampires of Sylvania.
The only thing that can bring them some comfort is that they are gathering more and more villagers.
At first, the village residents they rescued brought food and bad horses to wander with them. Then, the Ostermarks who came here in admiration made them form an army of a thousand people, and even a local border guard army that was broken up and knitted joined them. A hiding place in the forest.
Nok also learned some information from them, but it was more like nonsense - some monster was raging in Sylvania, and even vampires were running away from it.
It is said that the eastern region of Sylvania has been turned into ruins by monsters, all vampire castles have disappeared, and even the World's Edge Mountains have been breached by the monster - Nok is certain that the locals have exaggerated the facts. , with just a pot of wine, the people of the empire can turn a sea fish into a Leviathan beast.
Nok wanted to know the whereabouts of the Raven Knights more than their bragging.
By order of the Emperor, half of the Order of the Raven is in the Ostermark Territory, where they have several fortresses.
If nothing unexpected happens.
It was impossible for the vampires to kill half of the knights neatly. This was not the battle group led by Nok and his companions. It was an entire well-trained army, the Temple Knights' army of "God of the Dead" Mor.
But until now, Nok has not received any information about the Raven Knights. They seemed to have disappeared into the darkness.
"The Sixth Battle Group has captured the village on the other side of the river. Quick, what's the next order? They don't have enough silver powder."
"The Blood Knights are charging! They're almost crossing the bridge!"
"Blow up the bridges and sink them into the water!"
"Our people are still on the other side!"
"Let Maul decide what is right and wrong between us in life, now, blow up the bridge!"
Human roars and explosions shook the border between Sylvania and Ostermark territory. The soldiers who were attacked from both sides were still resisting at remote but crucial battlefield nodes.
The order they received was to hold on to the castle, and they would implement the mission given to the Knights by the Holy War before the entire army was annihilated.
Every warrior was told by the Grand Master of the Raven Knights, Lord Knight Feld, that the dwarves of Karak Kaderin would come to support them. Humanity was not alone, they only needed to survive the most difficult midnight.
