Chapter 1304 The Immortal Hero (4)
The next moment, the shipbreaker falling from the sky carried a huge impact and smashed the armor, bones and internal organs of the psychic green skin, and also crashed through the upper edge of the city wall. , the remains of the two Shipbreakers fell towards the moat under the slope outside the wall in chaos.
The moment Kailo jumped out, he pounced on the last shipbreaker. The opponent had already retreated to the wall under the siege of the undead army and eunuch guards. Below the wall was the moat.
Elena ordered a moat to be dug before the greenskins attacked. It took tens of thousands of people more than 20 days of hard work to dig out winding scars on the ground and divert the underground river on the mountain. Go here.
The water depth of the moat is only about three people high, but it is effective enough to weaken the greenskins' previous stupid and ferocious attacks.
Kailo's sudden attack made the guy fall down in panic, but it also took off Kailo easily.
The captain of the undead army threw away his sword, got entangled with the green skin, and twisted and sank into the water.
Blood spread like clouds in the water. The greenskin was desperately trying to swim back to the surface, but its armor was too heavy.
Kello grabbed its thick ankle and pulled it hard towards the bottom of the river.
Under the helmet, the green-skinned pig-like eyes protruded, reaching out to grasp the gray light penetrating the water, and a series of bubbles emerged from its deformed chin.
Kylo smiled as he watched the greenskin slowly drown, then let go and surfaced, using another sword to chop off the opponent's head.
Just as he emerged from the water, a green-skinned creature emerged from the water, its mouth full of blood foam, and its expression was very frightened. It was obvious that it had just been knocked down.
Before it even landed, two spears pierced its head.
After Kailo broke off a tusk, he used his sword to prop up the shipbreaker's head, stretched out his arms, and raised the trophy high.
He shouted his challenge in the greenskin language, his voice cutting through the din of the battlefield.
At this time, the knights of the Red Flame Guardian Knights had already penetrated the greenskin's central formation and broke through the opponent's artillery position.
So, the remaining greenskins began to flee.
But Kailo was not happy at all. He fully understood the complex social ecology of the green skins.
Continuous attacks and defeats have little effect on them, but will create a new wave - in their words, Waaagh!
When each smaller wave disperses If it goes, the aftermath will be absorbed by the next wave, forming a perfect cycle of continuously accumulating storm intensity.
After this attack is over, the next one will only be more violent.
The current war general and shaman are dead, and the greenskins will have to elect a new leader.
“Captain Kailo, it’s time for you to take a rest.”
Kailo took off his helmet, river water dripped from his chin, and then looked up at the city wall, where a girl was standing on it Look and wave to yourself.
"Princess Layla, the city wall is very dangerous. It may collapse after several rounds of strikes. Please stay away from there."
"Then I'll wait for you at the camp!"
Seeing the other party disappear at the top of the city, Kailo shook his wet head with a wry smile and silently sheathed his sword.
Kylo returned to the city, and many green-skinned corpses were piled aside. The internal organs on the ground were cooling, and their bodies were all covered with burn marks from lasers and bullets. Soon the flames would purify their existence.
When he came to Elena, Kailo slightly combed his face and hair.
“Well done, Captain of Ten Thousands.”
Under the protection of many generals, Elena praised her sincerely.
“Just killing some greenskins.”
“Some people have a hard time.”
Princess Layla on the side suddenly spoke and secretly did it A grimace, which made Javed's face suddenly tense up - his current condition can be said to be very bad and embarrassing, his armor is covered with blood and mud, his whole body is unkempt, and one arm is still wrapped in a bandage. Just now, he tried to duel with a green-skinned leader on the battlefield, but was knocked off his horse in a few blows. If not for his knight's desperate rescue, he would have almost surrendered.
"Everyone tried their best."
Elena tried to smooth things over.
“Every soldier deserves praise for this victory.”
“Humph!”
But Javed still snorted coldly, turned around and left.
Elena glanced at the other party, then shook her head and said to the generals around her:
"The battle is not over yet, everyone must not relax their vigilance."
The guard that Xerxes painstakingly built The city withstood the greenskin attack, and the high walls covering the lower slopes and mountain roads also withstood the bombardment with the help of reinforced materials. The greenskins seemed to have stopped issuing orders after the first large-scale attack, with only occasional orders for a week. Sporadic bombardment and shelling, these harassments basically had no impact.
Only when the greenskins send out their aircraft to drop bombs, the Acropolis will suffer, but fortunately they currently seem to have a small number of aircraft, and although the Rangers have not participated in the war on a large scale, they will also use stealth fighters The skies cover the humans, so greenskin air strikes are only a minor threat.
However, in war, difficulties come in many forms.
Although there is never a shortage of water in the city, the special terrain of the Acropolis also makes food transportation very difficult. Moreover, due to the departure of Xerxes, the centralized empire he established lost its leader. Even with Elena's remote control, the rear Some discordant sounds and events still started.
This forced Elena to temporarily leave the front line and return to the palace to handle government affairs. It also separated her from the protection of the undead army and gave some careerists an opportunity.
As the maid turned on the switch, steam immediately poured out of the copper oven and hit the ceiling.
Hot water gushes out from the open mouths of twelve gorgeous bronze beasts, while a pile of red-hot coals below the bath is constantly heating the pebbles. The maids only need to stir them occasionally. , and at the same time, a long copper pipe continuously delivers heat to the bath to maintain it at a suitable temperature.
The gorgeous bathroom was filled with steam, and Elena breathed a sigh of relief. After several days of exhaustion, there was nothing better than taking a good soak in hot water full of fragrance to relieve fatigue.
Then, she slowly sat down in the water, letting it cover her shoulders.
"Queen, the recent behavior of the nobles in the royal capital is a bit abnormal."
A young woman wearing black gauze came to her side, patting the calm hot water in the bath with her palms .
“There are also the commanders of the three garrison units in the royal capital. Recently, they have taken leave for various reasons or closed their doors to thank guests.”
“They all thought that Brother Wang could cause trouble at will without him. ”
Hearing this, Layla, who was leaning on the edge of the bathtub, also muttered.
“They should all be arrested.”
“Everything must have an explanation, my lovely little sisters.”
Elena just closed her eyes, He replied tiredly.
The woman in black gauze began to comb her hair with a comb.
"Queen, I have followed your instructions and issued instructions to those people."
"Well, that's enough."
Elena just made a gesture lazily .
The woman in black gauze clapped her hands gently, and the bathroom door opened. A bright red-haired woman walked in and knelt down on the wet marble floor tiles submissively.
