Chapter 234 The Frontline
After briefly clearing up the troubles in the World Fragment, Duanmu Huai returned to the empire again. He first went to Altdorf, and was then told that because the Chaos army was moving south, the emperor had led the coalition to Middenheim. So Duanmuhuai came to Middenheim again - this city that looked dilapidated and cold.
After receiving the notification, the emperor immediately asked Duanmu Huai to be brought into the castle.
"Oh, my friend, you are finally back!"
Seeing Duanmu Huai walking into the hall, the emperor sitting on the throne immediately stood up, laughed loudly, walked to Duanmu Huai, stretched out his hand to hug him hard, and then patted his back.
"I have already heard from Lord Bato about the specific situation."
Karl smiled and nodded, then looked at Duanmuhuai again.
"So, how is the situation over there?"
"Fulfilling our mission."
Duanmuhuai nodded.
"The Skaven are no longer a threat. At least for a long time, they won't be able to cause any more trouble."
Duanmuhuai did not directly tell Karl that he had killed the horned rat. After all, he also knew that this was a difficult concept for people in this world to understand. Perhaps to the Tribunal that once traversed the galaxy, the Horned Rat is ultimately just a slightly more powerful subspace creature on an ordinary planet. But to the people living on this planet, although the Horned Rat is not strong, That was indeed a god. If Duanmuhuai told Karl that he had killed a god...well, whether he believed it or not was another matter.
"Sure enough!"
Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, Karl laughed.
"I knew you wouldn't let me down, and I also guessed what you must have done to make those ratmen escape!"
"Oh?"
Hearing Karl's words, Duanmuhuai became a little curious. At that time, almost no one knew about his killing of the horned rat. Could it be that Karl was entrusted with a dream by a god?
"That's right."
Seeing the confusion on Duanmu Huai's face, Karl smiled and explained to him.
"Not long ago, I received news from the High King. He said that he had received a revelation from the gods. The threat of the dwarves underground has been eradicated. In return, they will join the United Army to fight against the forces of Chaos. I knew it, for sure. What did you do!”
"Oh...that's it."
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai immediately understood that the dwarves and the rat men were mortal enemies. He had killed the horned rat, and naturally the happiest thing was the dwarf gods. Because this means the complete collapse and demise of the rat race, and in return, the dwarf gods will certainly not sit back and ignore the current situation of the coalition forces. So the High King was asked to lead the reinforcements and come to aid the coalition forces.
A large part of the reason why the dwarves were divided was because of the threat of the rat men. Now that the rat men were dead, the dwarves naturally had no reason to oppose. In addition, the High King had the oracle in hand, so The dwarves immediately gathered their troops and headed to Middenheim to join the coalition forces.
Karl is naturally very happy about this. Now that the chaos is strong, the coalition forces on his side can no longer withstand it. The arrival of the dwarves will not only bring them a new force, not to mention that the dwarves themselves are good at making weapons. In this regard, they can also bring considerable help to the coalition forces.
"So, how is the situation on the front line now?"
After chatting for a while, Duanmuhuai immediately got down to business. He was not interested in nonsense like today's weather hahaha - just look at the heavy snow outside Middenheim to know what the weather is like.
"Frankly speaking, the situation is not optimistic."
After saying this, Karl also calmed down his expression. He brought Duanmu Huai to a sand table, and then explained to him the situation of the battle at hand.
The Chaos army in front of them can be said to be all elite, and they directly blocked the road in front of Middenheim. If Middenheim's location was not suitable for defensive warfare, and Ulric's Holy Fire prevented all Chaos monsters from approaching, I am afraid that Middenheim would have fallen by now.
Among the Chaos army, the army of the God of Disease occupies the main force, and other Chaos armies are also included.
It should be noted here that the Chaos beliefs of those Yankees are actually not clear at all. Any guy born in the northern tribe is likely to get the attention of four Chaos Evil Gods at the same time. Of course, as for whether he will choose to succumb in the end Which evil god he chooses depends on his own choice and which evil god he likes more.
Leading the vanguard of the disease army are the three brothers of Grot, the Chaos Lords of the God of Disease. One of them is a huge disease monster, and the other two are the champion warriors of the God of Disease and those who spread the plague disease. Disease Mage. In addition, there are also the Pox Maggot Knights from Ice Peak, who lead the terrifying plague army of the God of Disease, polluting almost everything in their path.
In addition, there is also the army of the Chaos Lord of the God of Tyranny, the "Bloody Valkyrie" Valkia, and the Blood Dragon, a vampire knighthood that has surrendered to the God of Tyranny.
The servant of the God of Desire - "Beauty" Sigvald also showed no less terror and terror than the tyrannical army. His "creative" killing methods made the enemy terrified and also made people irresistible. His strength.
The God of Deceit's choice - "The Cursed" Wilich is equally troublesome. The power of the Twisted Twins controls the wind of magic to rage on the battlefield, bringing unspeakable curses and obscure destruction.
The only reason why the Chaos Alliance failed to defeat the Alliance was that Ulric's Holy Fire and the cold winter were too unfriendly to the God of Disease to spread mercy.
If it were spring when everything revives... maybe the whole city would be covered with flowers.
Karl is also aware of this, so he hopes to end this war before spring arrives. Although Middenheim has a higher dimension, spring will arrive slowly, but it is not impossible. It is almost impossible to completely eliminate the Chaos Alliance before then, not to mention that the legendary Eternal God Chosen Archaon has not yet appeared.
Well, just like an RPG game, you probably have to kill the four kings before the BOSS will jump out and fight you.
In addition to the armies led by these Chaos Lords, the Beastmen, who have always been Middenheim's biggest worry, also found an organization and joined the Chaos army. This adds to the threat faced by the coalition forces.
The coalition forces on Karl's side may sound grand, but in fact they are miserable. Altdorf needs to be stationed, and the empire's borders need to be guarded, not to mention that his three idiot heirs fought with each other and consumed a lot of troops. Now they can Naturally, the number of troops that were barely able to stop them could not be compared with the Chaos army.
Needless to mention the elves and Kislev, the elves only have a small delegation of a hundred people, and Kislev is fierce, but they only have remnants left. Fortunately, the Knights of Baator brought by the Green Knight can be regarded as Barely filling part of the vacancy - this is why Karl was so happy when he learned that the Dwarf High King would send reinforcements.
Otherwise, if this continues, a war of attrition alone will not be enough. "So, what we have to do next is to kill these idiot Chaos Lords first, and then drag Archaon to the front line to kill him..."
Duanmuhuai looked at the sand table and began to calculate silently.
"Yes, what do you think?"
"My idea is very simple, just call directly."
Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand and pressed it on the side of the Chaos army on the sand table, crushing all the flags and signs placed on it into pieces.
"I have brought an army of three thousand men. I believe they are strong enough to deal with these chaotic forces."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Karl was stunned for a moment. In this world, an army of three thousand people is not a small number. Although Duanmuhuai doesn't know where he found the people, Karl still welcomes new blood to join.
"Of course, I'm more than welcome. Where are they?"
"When the battle begins, they will appear."
Duanmu Huai did not intend to expose the reinforcements too early, and Capita-6 did complain to himself, saying that their butts up there were moldy - you, a robot, are still afraid of moldiness in your butts? Can I put some engine oil on you?
Of course, the guardians have not been idle during this period. The battleships have been monitoring the frontal battlefield so that they can understand the various abilities of the Chaos army and not rush forward to die with a blind eye, although the guardians cannot die. , but you have to be careful, right?
After all, the guardian is not really immortal.
Now, it's time for them to take action.
This time, Duanmu Huai did not call anyone else, but only planned to take Ojis and An to act with him. After all, this time the two armies were fighting, and they were not going out for adventure like usual, and girls were not suitable to be among the large armies. in battle. Gulea seemed to be still busy with internal affairs of Regnis. Although the "Dragon Roar" she learned was very helpful in this war, considering her identity, Duanmuhuai decided to hide her temporarily unless It's better to call her here again if nothing can be done.
After that, Duanmuhuai said goodbye to Karl and wandered around the city of Middenheim alone. Perhaps because of the war, Middenheim was becoming more and more desolate at this moment, and most of the residents seemed to have already fled the city. There were heavily armed soldiers everywhere, and Duanmuhuai came to the Yurik Temple and stared at the pure white flames burning in the huge brazier.
This is Ulric's Holy Fire...
Standing in front of the temple, staring at the holy fire in front of him, Duanmu Huai fell into deep thought. If he remembered correctly, according to the forum posts, the Chaos army occupied Middenheim and dug out a powerful artifact under the Temple of Ulric, which destroyed the planet.
But judging from Karl's words, it seems that as long as the Ulric Holy Fire is still burning, the Chaos army will not be able to enter the city.
So...what exactly caused the Chaos army to capture this place?
Is Ulric's flame extinguished?
Why does it go out?
There is no answer given in the forum, and I guess players don’t know either.
But for Duanmuhuai, this issue is very important.
Maybe you need to pay more attention here.
Duanmuhuai looked at Yurik's Holy Fire again, then withdrew his gaze and turned to leave.
Tomorrow, there is still a big battle waiting for him.
However, just when Duanmuhuai was about to go back to the castle to rest for a while, suddenly, a voice sounded from behind him.
"Long time no see, Lord Knight."
Duanmuhuai turned around and saw an elf looking at him with a smile - well, no need to ask, this was Alishara, the Son of Eternity.
"Hello, miss, I haven't seen you for a while."
Duanmuhuai also nodded and saluted her, while the latter stared at Duanmuhuai with an unchanging expression, with some kind of joyful light shining in his eyes.
"You seem to be more imposing than before. I really don't know what you have gone through to have such outstanding charm."
"Uh... Thanks for the compliment. I just got rid of the four evils."
Hearing Alisala's words, Duanmu Huai twitched the corners of his eyes. He really couldn't figure out whether the princess's words were sincere or mocking him.
"I have learned from His Majesty the Emperor that you will also participate in the next war. It is really an honor for me to fight alongside you..."
As she spoke, Alisala trembled. Her expression was as if a fanatic fan had seen her star - but Duanmuhuai really couldn't understand the brain circuit of this princess. He stared at the other party and couldn't help but take half a step back. At this time, Alisara seemed to have noticed his gaffe and hurriedly came to his senses.
"Sorry, I was just excited for the moment. Then, we'll see you tomorrow."
After saying this, Alisala bent her knees and saluted Duanmuhuai, then turned and left. Duanmuhuai, on the other hand, looked at Alisala's retreating back and scratched his head in confusion.
What the hell is this woman doing? ?
