Chapter 141 War Epidemic
The unheard of new tactics made the unprepared Nurgre believers lose so much.
As the crossbows in the rear stopped shooting, the shielded crossbowmen who had advanced to the top of the mountain less than 100 meters away from the Nurgur believers replaced their position.
"At a distance of one hundred, three shots in a row!"
The result of three hundred people firing crossbow arrows at the same time was that more than nine hundred ignited crossbow arrows flew into the ranks of Nurgre believers.
They were already so shocked by the crossbows that they could not raise their heads. The crossbow arrows fired by the crossbow may not be threatening, but the detonation talisman on them is not a joke. After the nine hundred crossbow arrows exploded, there were very few Nurgle believers who could stand up intact.
In order to avoid bombing, they crowded into the woods on the top of the mountain, accidentally letting the crossbow arrows play the greatest effect.
As the crossbowman ended the attack, close-killing fight quickly began. This was almost a one-sided massacre. The only opponent Carter encountered was the little impurity who looked like the "big impurity". However, the opponent was unfortunately attacked by an explosive crossbow arrow. Half of his body was bombed and his confusing eyes showed that it was in a confused state. Facing this situation, Carter had no reason to not win.
With the help of continuous artillery fire (someone there tried to gather crossbowmen and then exploded the crossbow arrows) it took only more than half an hour to take down all the positions and kill the Nurgre champion and several "field monsters" that survived, the remaining ordinary Nurgre believers were not worth worrying.
In the end, the Sky Eagle Brigade almost destroyed the 5,000 people in total with less than a hundred casualties. Most of them were casualties caused by falling from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain in the previous rounds of attacks. Instead, the Nurgur believers who were defeated in close combat failed to cause too much casualties to the elves.
Once any army loses command, its combat effectiveness will decline greatly. Although they believe in chaos, they fight to the end, but facing fully armed elves enchanted warriors, this unorganized stubborn resistance is just to bring shame to themselves.
In order to win this victory, Carter also paid a price. The victory obtained by more than a thousand detonating talismans made him feel a sense of emptiness.
It took him day and night, and it could only be produced for at least three weeks to one month. Now, in order to win, he could not feel distressed. This also made him understand that although the crossbowman is very useful, he could not use it at will. Only at the most critical moment can they be put on the stage.
After all, every crossbow can load a fifteen-round magazine. If the three hundred shield-holding crossbows shoot light in one go, it will be 4,500 detonation talismans. Carter can't even get it together now.
To put it short, after cleaning up the battlefield and setting up a fire belt to leave a corpse pit burning with a raging fire, the members of the Skyhawk Brigade took advantage of the last ray of sunshine to return to the town and without knowing it, freed from the encirclement crisis of tens of thousands of chaotic creatures.
The siege and ambush battle of the Sky Eagle Brigade this time have completely different results for both sides.
The elves in the south of Nagares successfully opened the first stronghold in the security corridor. The next day, Tal-Zodel sent reinforcements to help the Skyhawk Brigade consolidate this stronghold, and sent a great wizard who was proficient in the wind of life.
When the Chaos troops in the south of Nagares learned that more than 8,000 people from the "Nargre Champion Rist" were wiped out, although most of them arrived at the first time were happy and gloating, they also realized that it was not a good idea to face the elves too dispersed. Therefore, in the next few days, several larger battle groups began to recruit those scattered outside and quickly formed a powerful Chaos Legion. These legions had at least 10,000 people, and the largest number was nearly 30,000.
However, there are also exceptions, that is, the "Supreme Eagle Group" with less than 500 members. Tsengchi's believers. If you want to say that these Tsengchi believers who are covered with black cloaks are special, it is probably that all the members are warlocks.
It has been almost half a year since Carter came to the World of Warhammer. The believers of the Four Gods have almost killed all of them, but they have never killed Tsengchi believers.

The virus released by Nurg is quite vicious, but it is mainly targeted by the elves. Therefore, after more than a day of research, the female master of the Wind of Life successfully held a ceremony to purify the polluted river, which made Carter, who almost asked Tarr-Zordel for freshwater replenishment.
However, for safety reasons, Carter still asked his subordinates to boil before drinking, and also told the friendly forces who came to support this suggestion, more than 2,000 new recruits commanded by a company of the Eagle Legion as the backbone.
Since both Carter and the Right Army who came to support were comrades in the Eagle Legion, and the mage also confirmed that the boiled freshwater is safer, this suggestion was naturally adopted.
Aris Annar, the future movie king who is far away in Tarzordell, also received this proposal from Carter.
"Yes, send this method to the sermon room immediately, and let the mage inform the Eternal Queen's court of this discovery through magical communication means. I hope that the increasingly severe epidemic in the inner ring kingdom can be curbed through this means."
As a member of the Nagaris Kingdom, he had long learned about the plagues and epidemics in major cities of the Inner Ring Kingdom, but he did not make the news public in order to avoid meaningless panic.
Because the nerd of the plague, the Nurgrey spirit of the plague released viruses at the source of the water source, the inner ring mages who were unaware of this were never able to completely eradicate the viruses in the rivers. This also led to the once cured plagues repeatedly appearing in the inner ring kingdom, constantly engaging in the life mages. In addition, the Nurgrey spirits appear in the mountains at the source of water through small portals and throwing new viruses, and the process becomes even more painful.
Except for Kaledo, the five inner ring kingdoms were all trapped in a arduous struggle against disease. More than 20 big cities were almost paralyzed, and a large number of people fled to the countryside, making the already unfast mobilization slower. This is also one of the reasons why the Eternal Queen ordered the outer ring kingdom to withdraw to the inner ring. The disease is slowing down the speed of combat readiness and gradually disintegrating the confidence of the people in the inner ring. If this problem is completely solved, the inner ring kingdom will never be organized.
At first, Avalon's wizards disdained the "boiling water" method of the grandson of the ruling prince, Aris Annar, and the nobles of Nagaris sent the "boiling water" method, but the Eternal Queen in trouble had already ordered the order to try any way, so they just wanted to boil the water contaminated by the virus to several animals with the idea of giving it a try.
Although the Nurgle Spirit's virus mainly targets elves, it has an impact on any creature, and its effect is only different.
The results of this experiment were quite gratifying. The animals that drank boiled water did not show any symptoms after several days of observation. This discovery was immediately reported to the Eternal Queen. After personally testing the effect, the Eternal Queen immediately notified the major cities that were raging to use this method.
Since the virus transmitted by Nurgle spirit is mainly transmitted through water, boiling water quickly suppressed the number of infections, and bought time for the mages and scholars of the Inner Ring Kingdom to develop antidotes.
The elves are quite developed in people's livelihood knowledge. The mages and scholars, who are under a huge reduction in the pressure to suppress the number of infections, quickly developed various special medicines, saving tens of thousands of patients who are deeply in the disease, and they recovered their health soon. The population who fled to the countryside also returned to the big city after learning that the disease was under control. Various preparations that were almost stagnant were once again put on the agenda.
As the first inventor of the "boiling water" method, Carter's name entered the sight of the Eternal Queen with the application for aristocratic sent by Aris.
"It is a reward, and I will grant Prince Aris' application, and at the same time, let the local priest Aisha give him blessings! Such a talent with both civil and military skills has not seen it for a long time."
Astaril, the eternal queen of Eden in Avalon, is the choice of Elsa. She emits natural light almost all the time, and everywhere she goes, she is a revival of birds and flowers. Her figure is even and slender, with a height of more than 1.85 meters, and she can be considered tall among female elves.
"Yes, my queen."
"What's next?"
"My Queen, there are probably so many things today, but there is a relatively bad rumor coming from the Kingdom of Itain."
"What news?"
The Eternal Queen sitting in the courtyard was bathed in the sun. After hearing that she had completed the business, she grabbed the long arm of her maid and pulled her into her arms to feel her softness carefully.
This action immediately made the originally serious maid's face turn red, and her cute appearance made the eternal queen Astalil taste her lips carefully.
"Woo... According to the news from the local 'Aesa Priest' in Lothen, a businessman deliberately bought it at a low price while the people fled to sell their houses on a large scale, and then raised the price to sell it when the people returned to the city and needed housing in urgent need. This malicious price speculation behavior made him earn a large amount of assets, which also caused constant complaints from the local people, and several parades occurred."
"Hmph, this kind of evil man is really not worthy of being an Asul. Investigate immediately. Once he finds that his evil deeds are true, let local officials arrest and trial him immediately!"
After hearing the description, the intelligent Eternal Queen immediately understood the causes and consequences.
"But my queen, although he is suspected of maliciously speculating on housing prices, he has not violated any laws in theory, and after selling off the property he has left... Woo..."
"That's so cunning..."
The Eternal Queen, who was jealous of evil, was a little depressed by this incident. She held her maid's thigh with one hand, let her hang it on her body, and then walked towards the bedroom, intending to vent her a good vent.
