Chapter 69: Hold on
For the Battle Sisters, they have purified the entire temple as much as possible, and there is still the last step...
"In other words, you want me to put this clock back on?"
Standing at the top of the bell tower, looking at the big clock in front of him, Duanmu Huai asked. Upon hearing his question, the Battle Sister nodded.
"Yes, the next thing we have to do is to let the bells ring throughout Mordheim again and let Sigmar's protection return to this cursed city. Now that the bell has been purified, the only thing to do next is Just hang it back up, but..."
It's no wonder that the battle nuns are looking for Duanmu Huai. Although this thing is not as big as the one in the temple that works as a monk for a day and clocks for a day, it is not something that ordinary people can easily move. Only Duanmuhuai could move it up and hang it up.
For Duanmu Huai, this is of course a piece of cake, but...should it be done?
Duanmu Huai glanced at the others. The battle sisters were waiting, while the imperial captain just looked at him with a smile.
"Please, Iron Knight, I think this shouldn't be difficult for you."
...an idiot.
Duanmuhuai ignored the imperial captain's statement and turned his attention to the witch hunter. The latter noticed Duanmuhuai's gaze and was slightly stunned for a moment, then nodded silently.
"Well, leave it to me."
Duanmu Huai didn't say anything more. He stretched out his hand, hugged the bronze bell in front of him, lifted it up and hung it on the bell tower.
Then, three battle nuns came to the bell, knelt on the ground in a circle, and began to pray quietly. Along with their prayers, the clock gradually began to emit a faint golden light. Seeing this scene, Duanmuhuai took a step back and grabbed the warhammer in his hand. He also saw the witch hunter lowering his hands and placing them beside the hilt of the sword at his waist, staring unblinkingly at the battle nun in front of him.
Only the Imperial Captain seemed completely unaware of the two men's little moves, and just stared nervously at the scene in front of him.
Finally, amidst the prayers of the battle nuns, the huge bronze bell became more and more dazzling, and then...
"Dang——!"
The heavy bells rang, echoing over the entire city of Mordheim. For a moment, everyone seemed to see a circle of golden ripples emerging from the bell body, spreading out like ripples. At the same time, even the originally dark and gloomy atmosphere around him seemed to have been reduced a lot.
"Dang————!"
The bell rang again, louder than before, and at the same time, the rotten sarcoma and those weird chaotic things that originally covered the outer wall of the temple also quietly retreated under the ringing of the bell, like melting under the sunlight. disappeared like snow without a trace.
"Clang————!"
With the third bell, even the thick clouds that had been covering Mordheim trembled because of it, and a ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds like a sharp sword and shined on the temple. Although it only lasted for a moment, everyone could feel that the temple at this moment was completely different from before.
It was not until the ceremony was over that everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the Imperial Captain hurriedly sent someone to report the matter to General Paster who was at the rear. After hearing the news, General Pastor was also relieved. After all, they were going to fight a protracted war in this cursed city. Without the protection of the gods, this operation would probably fail before it even started. .
But now, the temple has been recaptured, and the glory of Sigmar shines on it again. It can be said that this is already a beginning worth celebrating.
However, now is not the time to open the champagne. The return of the Temple of Sigmar to its glory will inevitably attract the attention of other hidden forces in the city of Mordheim. It can even be said that the Temple of Sigmar, which is currently activated again, is like a new one in the city of Mordheim. It's a piece of cheese in a rat's nest, and everyone wants to take a bite. So Pastor immediately sent people to open the road to the Sigma Temple so that more soldiers could enter the temple for rest and defense. On the other hand, he also asked the three war groups to make every effort to defend it before they arrived. Temple.
In fact, other people would do the same without him having to say it.
Although Sigma's blessing looks very good and powerful, anyone who is not blind can see such a big movement. For the forces currently in the city of Mordheim, the resurrection of the Temple of Sigmar is definitely the last thing they want to see. Therefore, it is conceivable that they will definitely launch another attack on the Temple of Sigmar to completely eliminate this threat.
The Chaos Cultists have just been defeated, and they shouldn't be able to draw more men in a short time. Necromancers and vampires were naturally restrained by Sigma and did not dare to come rashly. But that doesn't mean that there aren't some hard-headed guys who want to die. For example, there are some who like to dig holes and have the same reproductive capacity as cockroaches. They are not afraid of losing people at all and are treacherous and disgusting - rat people.
"I've had enough of these damn rats!"
Duanmu Huai raised his war hammer and swung it down with all his strength, blasting the dozens of rat-men in front of him into pieces. However, this was not enough. Not long after the Sigma Temple was resurrected, these damn rats seemed to smell a fishy smell. General got over and launched a frantic attack on the Sigma Temple.
Soon, the battle group responsible for guarding the temple fell into a dilemma.
The towering city walls can't stop the rat men's attack at all. These rats are good at climbing over walls and breaking through doors. Not to mention that in the previous attack, Duanmu Huai was very "bold" and smashed all the defensive doors to pieces. Unexpectedly, the retribution came so quickly... In the blink of an eye, offense and defense were exchanged, and the turns were It was time for them to realize the miserable plight of the Chaos believers before.
Sigma's blessing does not have much effect on the rat men. More importantly, these rat men also like to play tricks. They always hide in the ruins around the temple and jump out to attack when Duanmu Huai and others are not paying attention. ——I have to say, these damn mice are really annoying.
It seems that it won't work without some strong medicine.
After once again successfully smashing the Rat Man in front of him into a pulp, Duanmu Huai stepped back. At this moment, his body was dripping with blood. The power armor was covered with the Rat Man's flesh and blood, while Lorena was fighting against the Rat Man. He was also slightly injured during the battle, and is now cooperating with the defense under the cover of Ogis. Meludi stood on the roof of the temple, killing the rat-men with one shot after another. Unfortunately, she was holding a sniper rifle after all, not a Gatling, which had no effect against the rat-men's numerical advantage.
Only Fia was happily killing people in front of her. She was shuttling through the crowd of rats like a ghost. Wherever she went, large areas of rat people fell to the ground. Anyway, she was not afraid of death, let alone death. If it doesn't fall, just kill it.
But this is not enough.
The other two battle groups are still fighting hard at this moment. Although everyone does not feel particularly tired with Sigma's blessing, if this continues, it is obviously only a matter of time before they follow in the footsteps of the Chaos believers.
In this case, don't blame me for being rude.
Looking at these annoying mice, Duanmu Huai also became furious. He waved his war hammer and quickly opened the communication.
"Mia, can you hear me?"
"Yes, Master, what are your orders?"
Soon, Miana's somewhat leisurely voice sounded from Duanmuhuai's ears.
"Load the Hell Strike missiles, prepare air cover, and blow up these beasts for me!"
"Understood~~!"
