Chapter 67 The Eve of Battle
As the Imperial Captain said, this place is hell.
Everyone came along. What you see are shocking and tragic scenes, with strange flesh and blood clinging to the walls and the ground. In addition, you can also see hanging corpses and corpses in cages... The whole city looks like It's a far-fetched execution ground, disgusting.
No one spoke, and it seemed that even if one spoke a word here, one would breathe poisonous and almost filthy air. Lorena had already folded her hands and murmured a prayer. Meludi beside her was also carrying a rifle, scanning the surroundings with obvious disgust and vigilance. Although they had learned about the situation in this world from Duanmu Huai, they only discovered this after seeing it with their own eyes. The darkness the world has encountered far exceeds their imagination.
Only Fia was walking behind, her eyes sparkling, looking around excitedly like a mouse in a rice vat. It seemed that for her, all of this was filled with some particularly strong stimulation... although maybe that was indeed the case.
Soon, the group of people arrived at their destination and met the members of the Sisters there. Joining them were three battle nuns. They were wearing nun uniforms and holding warhammers and shields in their hands - well, they looked like... Looks like he can fight very well.
"If you hadn't come, we might have to reconsider our next actions."
After glancing at Duanmu Huai, the leading battle nun looked at the imperial captain and said.
"What is the situation in the temple now?"
"It's terrible."
The nuns shook their heads.
"In the beginning, the Ratmen occupied this temple, and they tried to recreate the evil of the Great Disaster by building the Bell of Disaster here."
Everyone's expressions changed when they heard this. The Bell of Disaster was the big bell that appeared in the legend of the birth of the Rat Man. At that time, the big bell rang thirteen times, bringing about the plague disaster and the comet. The Bell of Disaster seems to come from this legend. It is also a powerful and terrifying weapon of the rat people. If such a blasphemous Bell of Disaster is built in the temple of Sigmar, what will happen... It is simply unimaginable.
"But soon, the Chaos Warriors attacked this temple and drove away the Ratmen. But they planned to open the portal here and summon the Chaos Demon..."
"…………"
At this time, everyone's faces were as dark as ice. It was obvious that the temple was now in a very dangerous situation. Whether it is used by the Skaven to ring bells or used by Chaos Warriors to build portals, it is not what they expected. After all, if the Chaos Warriors really succeed in building the portal here, then the army of the Chaos God can wreak havoc in the empire through here, and the consequences will be simply unimaginable.
After the Chaos Warriors captured the temple, they sealed the gate of the temple and placed heavy guards around it. It was obviously impossible for three battle sisters to break through their defense.
But it's not that easy to break in.
The Temple of Sigmar itself also has towering walls and gates, which is basically equivalent to a small fortress inside the city, and it has not been damaged. In this case, it is too difficult to force a breakthrough. The only option is to go around from the back, but the guards there are very tight. According to the Battle Sisters, the Chaos Warriors have even summoned several demons...
"Then leave it to me."
At this moment, Duanmu Huai stepped forward and spoke.
"You?"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, the battle nun gave him a confused look.
"What are you going to do?"
"My battle group is responsible for the frontal attack to attract the attention of those Chaos believers, while you guys will take advantage of their attention being diverted by me to sneak in from the rear. How about it? It's a very simple plan."
< br>
"This is very simple, but...are you okay?"
The battle sisters have no doubts about Duanmu Huai's fighting ability. After all, he looks like he can fight very well. However, the girls following Duanmu Huai make the battle sisters somewhat doubtful - after all, they are not dressed very well. Like someone who often fights.
"No problem, leave it to us."
"That's it."
The Battle Sister briefly discussed with the Imperial Captain and decided to follow Duanmu Huai's suggestion. After all, there is really no other way now. Although Duanmu Huai's suggestion is simple, it is really the most suitable for now.
The premise is that they can attract each other's attention.
Soon, after confirming the plan, the two sides separated. The Battle Sisters led the other two battle groups to the rear alley, while Duanmu Huai was in front preparing to attack.
Looking at the people's retreating figures, Duanmu Huai's eyes narrowed slightly, then he lightly snapped his fingers, and soon there was a slight movement in the air, and several invisible [Murderous Dolls] followed the people quietly. behind.
Although we are all companions for the time being, Duanmu Huai will never forget to be wary of these locals. For an inquisitor, when he comes to a planet, everyone on the planet except himself, regardless of men, women, old or young, are potential targets of trial. Anyone may be a minions and spy of Chaos. .
For example, these battle nuns of the Sisters may have already changed their sect and become servants of some chaotic evil god.
Or maybe there are people in the imperial army who are in cahoots with those heretical demons.
Therefore, Duanmu Huai never forgets to reserve these people, especially after having the [Murderous Doll], he would rather spend his spiritual energy to summon several [Murderous Dolls] to monitor the other party, hoping to gain the initiative.
"Okay." Withdrawing his gaze, Duanmu Huai looked at the girls behind him.
"This will be your first battle in this world. Are you nervous?"
"More, more or less, Lord Knight."
Lorena also seemed a little uneasy at this moment, but she still clenched her fists.
"However, I will try my best."
"Well, don't worry so much, most of the enemies here are no match for you."
To be honest, just the power of [Lorena's Iron Fist] can defeat most of the enemies here, even if the high-level demons come, they are not afraid.
"What am I going to do?"
Meludi seemed calmer, perhaps because she was born in the military and quickly got used to this kind of scene.
"Find a high place and snipe down the Chaos believers on those high platforms as we advance."
Duanmuhuai pointed at the Chaos believers patrolling with bows and arrows on the platform above the temple.
"Of course, you have to be careful. As you just heard, there are many complex forces lurking in this city. Maybe something will come over and give you a knife when you are not prepared, so..."
Having said this, Duanmuhuai looked at Feiya.
"Fia, I want you to bring a few murderous dolls here to protect Meludi and prevent her from being harmed."
"Huh?"
After hearing Duanmuhuai's order, Feiya was obviously quite dissatisfied.
"Can't I go up and kill them? Master? I want to kill them all! Everyone, no one is left alive!!"
"You will still have enemies to kill if you stay here, but if I find out that you left your post without authorization, you will never have the chance to come out again."
Duanmuhuai had to admit that the mental problem of this puppet killer was really serious, but fortunately, as long as she was obedient, she could still be used as a tool.
Fortunately, Duanmuhuai is not a pure judge, otherwise he would have dealt with Fiya long ago. In fact, almost any player can be considered a member of the radical faction. This also profoundly affects the war pattern in the later stages of the game... Well, it's a little too early to say this now.
After teaching Fiya a lesson, Duanmuhuai turned to Ogis.
"Ogis, will you act with me...Ogis?"
However, this time, the doll girl did not respond to Duanmuhuai's words as usual. On the contrary, her eyes wandered, as if she was thinking about something. It was not until Duanmuhuai called her name again that Ogis came back to her senses.
"Ah, Master, I'm so sorry, I...I don't know what happened to me..."
"No, it's nothing, it's normal."
Of course Duanmuhuai knew what Ojis was troubled about. In the previous battle in the Holy City, Qiaowei madly pounced on the nun at the last moment, preventing her from further action, allowing Duanmuhuai to successfully destroy the temple. But Qianwei was also involved in the big explosion after that and turned into fragments. In the end, Ogis only found half of Qianwei's head.
At that time, Duanmuhuai saw Ojis holding the half of her head and staring at it for a long time, and didn't know what she was thinking. Finally, the two gathered up the remains of Qiaowei, burned them on fire and buried them.
Although the two have not been in contact for a long time, strictly speaking, Qiu Wei is indeed Ogis's younger sister. It is normal for the doll girl to be troubled by this. In other words, this is what Duanmu Huai wants to see, because only beings with souls and hearts can have feelings. This also shows that Ogis's heart has indeed grown during the time she followed him. On the contrary, if Ogis shows that nothing is wrong, Duanmuhuai will have to reflect on whether there is something wrong with his strategy.
"I will have a good talk with you later. Now focus on the battle. You will cooperate with me to storm the temple and attract the attention of Chaos believers. Is there any problem?"
This time, faced with Duanmuhuai's inquiry, Ogis shook her head without hesitation.
"No, Master."
"Very good."
Hearing Ogis's answer, Duanmu Huai nodded, and then he clenched the war hammer.
"Then, get ready to do it!"
