Chapter 75 Undercurrent
After ordering a mount from Buddy, Duanmuhuai opened the door and returned to Mordheim.
It's not a good feeling to go from a scenic tourist area to a filthy slum in an instant.
"Is anyone looking for me?"
Duanmuhuai walked out of the portal and looked at Ojis who was sitting quietly at the table reading a book and asked. The latter thought for a moment and then nodded.
"General Pastor sent someone to notify the meeting in the afternoon."
"Then let me go and have a look."
Duanmuhuai glanced at the time, then touched Ogis's head, turned around and walked out of the house, arriving at General Pastor's base camp - after retaking the market area, General Pastor used the city hall as his base camp. Use it, because the functions here are quite complete, so it doesn’t take much trouble.
Duanmuhuai walked into the city hall and immediately saw General Pastor and several other representatives of the war group. In addition, there was a new face - that was a woman wearing heavy armor. She was a member of the Rock Monastery. The person in charge is also a senior nun. After the previous archbishop was exposed as a cultist, she joined as a representative.
Everyone welcomes this. After all, it is more convenient to have local snakes around.
"Here you come, Iron Warrior."
Looking at Duanmu Huai, General Pastor also nodded and said hello.
"Just in time, we are discussing the next battle."
"The next battle?"
Duanmuhuai walked to the table and looked at the map of Mordheim placed on it.
"Yes, with the assistance of the battle sisters of the Rock Monastery, we have a preliminary understanding of the current situation in Mordheim."
As he spoke, General Pastor pointed at the map.
"As of now, the followers of the evil gods almost all occupy an area - the followers of the god of desire are in the aristocratic area, and the followers of the god of violence are in the military area. As for the slums that were smashed by the comet, It has now become the territory of the God of Disease.”
"But the situation now is quite serious."
At this time, the senior nun also intervened.
"According to the information we have received, these believers hope to build a portal based on Mordheim and open the way to the Demonic Realm, so as to gain the appreciation and blessings of their crazy evil god. They are currently collecting this Warpstone within the city to achieve this purpose.”
"This is really......"
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes.
The so-called dimensional stone is actually the fragments of the comet that hit the ground before. This kind of stone has mysterious and powerful power and can be used for various things. The followers of the evil god in this city obviously intend to use these dimensional stones as a medium to open a portal to the subspace.
These mommy believers are really hopeless.
"Before you arrived, the followers of Chaos in this city were trying to build a portal and fighting for the warpstone. The followers of the God of Tyranny even tried to destroy everyone else in the city as a way to The sacrifice opened the portal, but it was not successful. They had a fight with the God of Desire, the believers of the God of Disease, and the Ratmen, and each other was much weaker. This is why other forces did not target the Temple of Sigmar before. ”
Good guy, he is indeed a believer of the God of Tyranny, he is so loyal, he deserves a medal for recognition.
Duanmuhuai was not surprised by this. Basically, as long as it was in the melee of the Chaos army, the God of Tyranny and his followers were basically half of the player's allies.
"However, because of our arrival, these forces have now begun to step up the construction of the portal."
Well, that's bad news.
"So our next step is to defeat these evil god believers and destroy the ritual?"
"Almost, we have one more thing to do before that."
General Pastor stretched out his hand and pointed at the map. "The first thing we have to do now is to recapture the bridge and defeat the ratmen - our scouts found that these ratmen poisoned the river. If this continues, we will not even have drinking water."
“Don’t we need to prioritize ghettos?”
In Duanmuhuai's view, the slums are the biggest threat. They are the place where the comet fell, and there are also followers of the God of Disease active there. Although those rats are annoying, compared to the God of Disease, the rat people are not that threatening.
"We can't do it."
When talking about this topic, General Pastor also frowned and shook his head.
"The place where the comet fell is filled with a terrifying and strange power. Anyone who enters it will feel physically ill, and may even get sick or mutate. In fact, no one can be there except for believers of the God of Disease. kind of place survives”
It’s not surprising, after all, the God of Disease likes all kinds of mutations the most, but looking at it this way, the radiation level in the slums should be off the charts.
"Then let me go to the ghetto and have a look."
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai put forward his own suggestion, and others were shocked when they heard what he said.
"Can I?"
"Of course, my armor can withstand the intrusion of that force, and my men will be fine."
The Inquisition Power Armor that Duanmu Huai wears can allow his body to penetrate into the atmosphere, and its radiation resistance is first-class. As for Lorena and Meludi, strictly speaking, they are projections, so they will not be contaminated by any radiation. Not to mention Ogis and Fia, no matter how powerful the radiation is, there is nothing they can do with wood.
"Then it's up to you."
General Pastor also breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, the slums are indeed a problem, but even the soldiers dare not approach them at will, and they have no good solution. Now that Duanmu Huai has offered to go there to investigate, he can be regarded as He breathed a sigh of relief.
However, at the same time, in the cave tens of meters deep beneath their feet, a group of strange shadows were quickly shuttled through it.
"Strange stone! Strange stone! Strange stone!"
A ratman waved the spear in his hand angrily and let out a hissing scream.
"Human things! Bad things! The bad things that stop the good war group! No strange stones! The lord is not happy! Need more strange stones! More! Human things! Bad! They want to destroy the rat people! Let us be exterminated! The rat people must be destroyed!" Don’t agree! If you seize the strange stone, you will become the most powerful fighting group!”
Along with the scream of the rat man, other rat men also raised their heads.
"The Tin Man! The terrifying Tin Man! You can't beat him! The thick iron skin! There's no way to kill him! The Tin Man is very powerful!"
Hearing this, the leader of the mice jumped in anger, but there was no good solution. With their strength, the rat people did occupy part of the territory in Mordheim. However, this was of no use, as the fragments of the comet were mostly scattered on the surface, and the Skaven had to fight other forces if they wanted to seize the Warpstone from them.
However, after several battles, the clan suffered heavy losses. For this rat clan, this was originally an opportunity to improve their status, but now, they are stuck in the quagmire.
In particular, the terrifying Tin Ghost brought unimaginable fear to the rat people. Knives could not pierce it, bows and arrows could not penetrate it, and poisoning was useless. And every time the Tin Man swung his big hammer, several of his compatriots would be smashed into pieces by the big hammer, even their skins and bones would be smashed to pieces! Even the entrails! Can't tell the difference!
"Da da da da da da!!!"
Just when the rat people were angrily venting their dissatisfaction, there was suddenly a burst of rapid footsteps, and then a rat man rushed out from the other end of the tunnel, pointing excitedly behind him.
"Big strange stone! The Scout Rat discovered it! A very big strange stone! Very big!"
"Big strange stone?"
Upon hearing the scout's report, the leader's eyes lit up.
"Good stuff! Go there immediately! Dig out the big strange stone!!"
