Chapter 281, The war has changed
Stop in front of the river. In the darkness, the rolling waves cannot be seen, and only the gurgling sound of the water can be heard.
In the distance, a little light appeared, it was the patrol boat patrolling the river.
I can’t wait any longer. To be honest, Qi is not that at ease with the flowing water in front of him. Perhaps the experience of swimming in that bitter salt lake is too profound, even if the brighter It's getting closer, but still no decision has been made.
The rat man beside Qi did not urge him, and his eyes fell on him with admiration. This was a rare state among the rat men.
Or maybe it was because of the appearance of the nezumi gathering around Hata.
Long and short hands, alopecia areata, missing ears, and missing fingers.
Qi continued the previous style, and he accepted many defective products that were not up to standard.
These guys are waiting for Flag to make a decision.
The flag did not let them down.
Gritting his teeth, he finally roared on the shore.
"Blessed by the great gods!"
Behind him, the rat warriors responded excitedly.
I jumped up and jumped into the river in front of me. Of course, I was not unprepared. I hugged a thick log.
Even the guy crossing the river did not take off his armor.
The rat people fell into the river in front of them one by one, causing a lot of noise. They were noticed by the patrol boat not far away, and a red light was cast into the sky. This was an early warning signal.
The human soldiers on the patrol ship are facing a powerful enemy.
What the Rat Man did was truly terrifying.
If it were not for the arrival of those royal knights, fear would be the emotion that enveloped this area at this time.
The rat people are different from the mountain people. Well, there seems to be no difference. The mountain people never shy away from blood sacrifices.
It's just that, how can I put it, the mountain people were retreating steadily from the attacks of the rat men.
The Skaven are a more powerful enemy.
But in fact, there is no need to be so panicked, because at this time, the leader of this army, the rat warlord who has become a big shot, is holding the log tightly in his arms, following the current in the river. Rolling around in embarrassment.
Well, although the temple guards can even wear armor and fight Naga in the bay, the physical fitness required to do this is really terrifying, and the flag can't do it yet.
Rolling, rolling in embarrassment, constantly choking and drinking water.
He was absolutely unable to resist an attack on him at this time, so the patrol fleet was extremely cautious towards the large group of rat men rolling in the river.
The rat people under the flag are chasing their boss, and the vast river of rat people is rising and falling in this big river.
More lights appear in the distance, and more human warships are about to arrive on the battlefield.
Actually, they arrived very quickly.
In the hazy light, these warships equipped with ramming horns began to collide with the river. The rat people were unable to fight back, but at the end of the day, they had no intention of starting a water battle with the humans on this river.
The tumbling log finally reached the shore amidst the bumps. All the mud on the armor was washed away during the tumbling process, revealing the bright silver armor. Qi vomited violently on the shore, and pulled He opened his visor and kept vomiting out the muddy water mixed with bile.
This was a really difficult process, but he finally got over it.
Stuffing a light red blood mushroom into his mouth, Qi suppressed his physical discomfort, jumped onto a big rock by the river, and started shouting loudly.
Start making promises.
The number of rat men around him was less than half that when he crossed the river, but this was not the final number, because there were still a steady stream of rat men climbing up from the river.
The human warships stopped pursuing them. Fighting on land was not what they were good at.
Hovering over the large river as background.
These rat men are quite convinced by what Qi shouted. After all, Qi has always given up most of it to them. This is the basis of trust.
“We are going to kill those heretics, and we are going to hold a grand sacrifice.
To offer to the great gods!
You can also offer it to the great god.
This is my mercy, this is my gift! ”
During the words, the rat men gathered in front of the flag gave a warm cheer.
In fact, this road may not be easy to walk, after all, in the rear area of Blitzing Lianyan Province In the first step, Qi was caught red-handed.
But it was obvious that this guy would not retreat so easily.
The rat people gathered feverishly under the flag and started running towards the unknown territory in front of them.
The march of the flag begins.
………….
In the nameless province, fierce competition is continuing in the ravines, but the rat people are gradually falling into a weak position.
Youyan human race, in the coalition of nobles.
What turned the tide was the gap in weapons.
Some real elemental weapons were brought to the battlefield.
It’s not surprising, after all, in the hands of the many great nobles who formed the noble coalition, the magic academies act as the backing for the war.
Carried onto the battlefield were some crude prototype weapons.
Complex pipelines, huge volume, diamond-shaped crystals are embedded in a bright silver structure. Every activation is like a ceremony, requiring a bunch of military mages to conduct complex debugging.
These are all shortcomings, but one thing cannot be ignored.
This thing, this elemental cannon, has a far enough range and is really powerful.
After the accumulation is completed, the terrifying riot elements will be constrained into a sphere and thrown out during the acceleration of the ritual.
Able to strike out of sight, the unbridled riot elements can completely envelope a small hill. In the terrifying shock, it can effectively destroy tunnels and underground tunnels.
Faced with this kind of thing, the rat people seemed a little helpless.
Obviously, the current war is no longer limited to the rat warlords. Rat Zhan alone can handle it.
After being bombarded and almost buried alive by the collapsed tunnel, Rat War began to seek help from the rat priests.
The Eastern Expeditionary Force now needs a little help from magical power.
The terrifying trebuchets of the Great Claw Priests have become outdated. Although the Great Claw Priests are very reluctant to accept this, the situation is indeed the case. When facing the magical cannons of the Dark Eye Human Race, these The giant trebuchets are like useless playthings.
This frustrated them.
But they soon discovered that there was more to their frustration than just that. The fact that the terrorist trebuchets are instantly outdated does not mean that they can leave this battlefield. In fact, every part of this battlefield now requires the input of these guys.
The excavation of tunnels, the construction of positions, and the stacking of ground fortresses.
War has changed in form in a very short period of time.
The rat people are indeed extremely good at digging underground tunnels and fighting underground, but they cannot set up all battlefields underground.
The commander on the other side is not an idiot.
If you invest all your power underground, then the magic knights in the noble coalition will begin to prepare for a charge.
They will directly want to cross this long front, and you can't even intercept them.
The too empty ground is the home court of these knights. It is easy to move forward and backward.
Fortresses and tunnels are necessary. Rat War is not fighting guerrilla warfare. In order to maintain the stability of the rear, he must prevent these guys from crossing the front.
The fortress and the tunnel are connected together.
In a very short period of time, the rat people have built such a huge position, and the priests of the Big Claw have made great contributions, although they have no intention of taking on these tasks.
Too close to the front line, it is difficult to even escape when being bombarded and the enemy begins to advance.
But obviously, they couldn't refuse the job.
Such a powerful position-building ability has caused the human side to suffer a lot. If they want to advance, they have to eat these fortresses that rise from the ground and erect various war equipment, and they have to overcome the pits. A series of tunnels.
This is a very troublesome thing.
The Ratmen also dug intricate underground tunnels and chambers of various sizes beneath their positions. The tunnel fortress on the ground and the underground tunnels and chambers are connected together. You don’t want to You know how many ratmen can appear around you during an attack.
The intersecting ravines make the land in this entire area look as ugly as if it had been gnawed by dogs.
A large number of rat warriors were filled into this intricate tunnel.
Their mission is not complicated, and what they have to do is not complicated either. They stay here and then kill the enemies that appear in front of them. That's it.
The intersecting ravines made these rat people feel at ease.
At least this is the case for this young guy, who even has the intention to look around.
Actually, he is not young anymore. He has already participated in a war. Not long ago, he was mixed with many rat men and charged towards a city under the flag waved by the commander.
Just luckily, when it was about to be his turn to climb the city wall, the city fell.
He still clearly remembered the scene that appeared in front of him that day.
He was scared and uneasy. The guy behind him kept pushing him forward, and rat men kept falling on the towering city wall in front of him.
Little by little, I watched myself being pushed towards the towering city wall. Not far behind me, those cold devils raised their spears high.
Even now, when he thinks of the scene at that time, his body can't help but tremble.
At that time, every step forward made me feel scared, but here, I felt more bored.
There is no need to move forward endlessly, those cold devils will not stand not far behind you waving spears, you just need to wait in a quiet place.
Even a little boring.
In boredom, this young rat man, who was no longer young, turned his head and started to climb the tunnel wall around him. For the rat man, climbing on such a surface that is not smooth enough is not a task. Difficult matter.
Although you can’t see anything special after climbing up.
There are just interlaced tunnels, and the surface of the earth is like a dog chewing, even a little disgusting.
By the way, there is also a white light group.
White light group?
The young rat man, who is no longer young, has some doubts in his mind.
It seems that he was thinking about what this thing was, that is, while he was thinking, the light group fell to the ground.
Expanding violently, the chaotic and disorderly elements swept everything in their path indiscriminately, leaving behind an area filled with mottled brilliance, and the earth began to tremble.
The poor guy happened to be in the core area of this blow. He did not even have time to suffer, and he died in this terrifying magic shock. His flesh and blood were eroded by the elements and turned into turbid crystals. The agitated The magic power continued to vibrate in the spar until the balance was broken, and the turbid spar also began to break.
Turned into a point of light, turned into a part of the violent elements, and just dispersed in the heaven and earth.
This is a very dangerous means of attack, and it is also a very efficient means of attack.
Generally in an area hit by this chaotic element, any creature that cannot withstand the erosion of the elements will be swept away instantly. At the same time, the instantaneous imbalance of elements in the area will also cause the earth to shake.
You have to admire the business capabilities of the Big Claw Priests. Faced with such a blow, they were still able to retain most of the tunnels they built.
This is the power that comes from excellent architecture. Structural science is something that must be mastered to build a qualified underground city.
The vibrations of the elements gradually subsided as time passed.
The team of the noble coalition also appeared at the end of the line of sight.
In the absolute suppression of firepower, it is a very suitable tactic to first use magic cannons for a round of suppression, and then to press the army.
More Skaven began to appear on the battlefield during the drive, and with restlessness and spears in hand, they were filled into the surviving tunnels and fortresses.
The form of war is changing rapidly.
Although it cannot be said that the war mode before and now is more cruel to the rat people.
In the past, endless swarms of Skaven charged forward, and then met their deaths in fear.
And now, he is quietly welcoming his own death.
If you look at the casualty rate, there seems to be no big difference between the two.
After all, no matter what, a large number of humble guys will die in the end. Is there any essential difference between falling down a towering city wall and being blasted into a ball of chaotic elements by a magic cannon?
In fact, there should be, if you are more sensible.
Climb the towering city wall and witness your own death with your own eyes. You still have some choices. You can die in anger, die bravely, or die in fear, anxiety, and despair.
Being blasted into a ball of chaotic elements by the magic cannon, this process is very fast and there is no unnecessary pain, but it seems to be more humble. There is a feeling that your death has little to do with you. .
Life seems particularly humble.
But there is actually no need to think too much about this issue.
Despicable guys are never qualified to decide their own destiny.
For those big warlords and high priests who can control their destiny, there is only one thing these guys need to do and can do.
Hold the weapons in your hands and go to meet the war.
