Although he said that the firepower was enough, Eski knew that it was absolutely impossible to penetrate Nurgle's army head-on.
The Nurgle corruption in this world may be different from the Nurgle corruption in the 40K world.
However, judging from the Nurgle corruption in the 40K world, which requires naval guns to burn the surface to the mantle layer to stop Nurgle's corruption, it can be inferred that the Nurgle Garden in this world is not a suitable place for him to enter.
At least, neither the ogre nor he had any way to confront the Great Demon of Nurgle head-on. The only chance was a high-yield warpstone bomb.
It would be okay if there was a big rat demon like the Lord of Disaster, but at this point in time, the big rat demon of the Horned Rat has not come to the world, and even the Gray Prophet may not know about the existence of the big rat demon.
The first batch of Great Rat Demons seemed to have been promoted by some Gray Prophets more than two thousand years later, after the Great Horned Rat lowered the Pillar of Commandment.
There is no need to count on the Rat Demon. Esky knows that the strongest combat power currently available is the Ogre.
Other high-level combat powers at this point in time, such as elven mages, dragons, lizard people's Slann priests, and dinosaurs, are not something he can borrow.
The former will peel off his rat skin for exhibition, and the latter will send him to feed the tyrannosaurus.
"But, Engineer, I have to say that your idea is somewhat unrealistic."
Aikins asked.
In the short time just now, Skaven's high metabolic level had allowed him to finish reading the basic technical information, and thus he had new questions.
"Although this design only requires improving the traditional dimensional sword of the Skryre clan, our parts are not very durable and cannot withstand the severe wear and tear caused by the saw blade."
"Unless every part is engraved with runes and enchanted?"
Esky asked rhetorically, taking out a component that shone with yellow and green light and threw it to his apprentice.
Modern and even sci-fi high-strength alloys are indeed very strong, but the one he has in his hand can be roughly labeled as chrome alloy parts 2. The ability to enchant metal is sufficient. Kanshu La
The engineering warlock can rely on the wind of metal to give it a microstructure that ordinary metallurgy cannot achieve. The wind of metal can also rely on enchantments and runes to give it magical conceptual properties that are stronger and more resistant to wear and tear.
Adding these things together, Esky can obtain materials stronger than those of the pre-space age under the metallurgical conditions of the magical version of the Middle Ages.
But Aikins’ doubts are not big or small.
"There are more than a hundred parts that need to be strengthened on the design drawing. If we want to equip every ogre, and considering the demand for spare parts and replacement, we will need thousands of enchanting accessories."
"The production of accessories itself is not bad. The number of high-temperature furnaces is sufficient. Six workers can process about a hundred pieces a day, and a workshop with more than 100 workers can complete these productions in a day."
"The most difficult thing is enchanting, the speed of enchantment, the difficulty of rune carving and the number of enchantments per day. I can process up to twenty pieces per day, and the mana pool will be exhausted."
"If you use dimension stones to replenish mana, not to mention the problems of mana and emotional loss. The cost alone will be too high to be measured."
"Coupled with the time required to change the production line, expand the production line, and train workers, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to leave here in the short term."... Aikins analyzed one by one and finally suggested.
"It's better to just produce dimensional swords directly."
"My mana pool is enough for me to produce more than 400 pieces a day, and I have no plans to leave in a short time, nor will I set off immediately. Do you understand?"
"I understand, but is such a design really necessary? The technology of the dimensional sword is enough to break through all defenses. The dimensional energy cracking field attached to the blade can already split the hardest armor and flesh."
Aikins's repeated insistence caused Eski's paw to rest on his head.
Just when he thought he was going to be unlucky, Esky just rubbed his head and smoothed his hair.
"That's because you don't know that there is a creature whose physical thickness and magical protection capabilities far exceed the capabilities of this original. Otherwise, I wouldn't need to add the Destruction Rune."
After calling Aikins to take charge of transforming and expanding the production line, Esky's energy was hindered by the messenger rat - someone came to the factory to see him again.
Entering the gate of the factory, the engineering warlock was surprised to find that it was the old gray prophet whose scalp and ears were as thin as a layer of paper.
"Seer Quickwall, why are you suddenly interested in visiting Skrye's humble factory?"
Weaving a chair made of soft vines on the ground, and inviting the Gray Prophet to sit down, Eski continued.
"Are you going to hold the Gray Prophet responsible for his death? However, he was the one who initiated the rebellion. Even if it goes to the Council of Thirteen, Lord Ikrit and the Chief Engineer Warlock will still act in accordance with the rules of the Council.
Right."
Quickwall's warpstone eyes were not looking at Eski, but were facing forward motionless, just like an ordinary blind man.
But he said it in his mouth.
"The Chaos Demon Realm is chaotic, and so is the time in it. You can enter at any point in time, but you cannot guarantee that you will come out at any point in time."
"It is very possible that if you stay inside for a month, more than a thousand years have passed outside, or if you have been inside for a thousand years, only a few minutes have passed outside."
The Gray Prophet's indifferent tone made Eski speak seriously.
"So, in theory, if I can get the help of the Chaos Gods, it is still possible for me to return to the present world very quickly after driving over the Garden of Nurgle, or even to the previous time, right?"
The engineering warlock leaned forward and got close to Quickwall's thin ears.
"I know what you want to say, Gray Prophet. But it is impossible for me to abandon my own life to help you complete your great cause. Maybe you can expect that I can return from the normal timeline."
"If you believe what Xin Liezhi promised, it may only prove that you are not a qualified descendant of the horned rat."
The Gray Prophet's tone remained unchanged, and he continued like a machine.
"In Nurgle's garden, Nurgle demon Kugas is guarding the beloved garden for his father. His poison and plague will make your dimensional force field and divine protection ineffective."
"It is said that he likes the rat man's bladder very much, so he will not let go of you, a stupid rat who is seeking death. Even if he gives you what the horned rat can give you, the greatest degree of divine power enhancement, it can only guarantee that you will not be infected by the plague.
It’s just that I died of illness.”… As he said that, without waiting for Eski’s reaction, the Gray Prophet grabbed Eski’s right paw, and a small circle of runes began to appear next to the original green runes. p>
Due to the severe pain, Esky had just counted the new runes, which were twelve, when a rat-skin book with a strong scent of rat-man glands was delivered to his hand.
"This is the Gray Seer's spell set."
Quickwall's behavior surprised Esky and said.
"I don't have horns on my head, can I still be the agent of the Horned Rat?"
"You will not be an agent of the Horned Rat, just a private sponsor."
"I still have to find the Book of Destiny first."
Eski asked the slave rat on the side to give the Gray Prophet a bowl of leftover soup from lunch with an unkind look on his face.
However, Gray Prophet didn't move, and his nose didn't even twitch due to the aroma of the broth, so he continued.
"Are you ready to look for things from the gods? Xin Liezhi will not be so kind as to give clues to anyone? He likes to have fun and scheme."
"What fun will you bring him? What can he plot against you? The future is unclear and unpredictable. Your destiny is subject to endless changes."
The Gray Prophet's words became increasingly unclear, and the dimension stone in his eyes emitted a faint green light, which made Esky kneel down and hug the Gray Prophet's thigh.
"The great horned rat! Help!"
"Give me the heart thing! Then I don't have to go to Nurgle's garden!"
There was just a burst of malicious laughter in the void, and there was no response.
"You won't give me more resources? What a waste of feelings."
Eski patted the dust on his robe and sat back on the wicker chair.
Even though the expression on Gray Prophet's face did not change, Esky still felt that the other party was mocking him because of his behavior just now.
So the engineer warlock shouted angrily.
"Slave rat, slave rat! See off guests!"
A few hours later, I was lying on the ground on the top of the underground fortress, on a soft couch made of vines, enjoying the combined illumination of the white moon and the evil moon.
The former strengthens the Lilith power runes on his body, and the latter makes the mana pool in his body become more active.
Usually when the evil moon gets bigger, it’s when the beastmen become active.
However, there are no beastmen in this ghost place where Nagashzar is, only chaotic humans.
Looking down in boredom, I saw that the weak spread of the Nagash Plague had stopped, but the eight hours of moonlight bathing every day was still indispensable.
I don't know what he suddenly remembered, but Esky raised his paw and took out Tzeentch's book, slowly flipped through it, and suddenly, he cursed Xin Liezhi.
"After the plague, knowledge of the use of divine power is actually inserted? It simply does not conform to the logic of compiling a book."
"By doing this, are you trying to tempt me to absorb the magical power Lilith gives me?"
Eski looked at the ever-changing magic words on it, his eyes filled with determination.
"This is not your style. Temptation should be the style of the Lord of Darkness. You will never be able to whisper in my ear like a lover like His divine power."... Although he said that.
That being said, in the next second, Eski followed Tzeentch's method and tried to channel a trace of divine power into a temporary mana pool.
The temporary mana pool is not connected to the standing mana pool, and corruption will not spread. The separated divine power will be less enhanced than ten minutes of moonlight bathing, and it will not cause the protection against the plague to loosen.
Despite this, Esky is still nervously observing every mana node in his body, worried about the emergence of blue-purple divine power.
Especially when it has happened countless times before.
As time went by, Lilith's divine power was perfectly integrated into the temporary mana pool without causing even the slightest disturbance.
There seems to be no change? It just proves that there will not be a violent conflict between the divine power of order and the magical power of chaos?
Eski continued to maintain the temporary mana pool and continued to scroll down, but did not find more content about divine power, but another content he had read before.
"It's actually a clue to the Book of Destiny? I remember, last time, this content was not here? In other words, you will make the content of this book constantly changing."
As he spoke, Eski smiled, casually recited Anoquayan, used dimensional energy as a guide to draw down the heavenly wind from high altitude, and placed Tzeentch's book into the sapphire arch.
At this time, the sound of weak footsteps approached. Following the language of the northern barbarians, Eski jumped up suddenly and looked towards the place where the sound came from.
"A mouse? It's such a stupid mouse to sleep here."
A tall man, but no taller than Eski, with an eight-pointed tattoo on his chest and wearing animal skins, is leaning towards this side.
The man, who had no scars on his body and was holding a scimitar that was about one meter tall, made almost no sound from his feet as he approached, only muttering in his mouth.
"The priest needs his skin and head, and she's still waiting for my reply?"
Esky instantly fired a dimensional lightning, trying to burn this ignorant human to death.
However, the sword in the hands of the chaotic human was swung as fast as it could split machine gun bullets with one knife. While splitting the lightning, Esky saw the chaos runes on it.
Although he had only briefly read the technical information on the Slaanesh Demon Engine left by the former scribe after he had tested it with his apprentice and found no problems, he could still confirm that the runes on the knife were demon technology. This human has a Chaos Octagon tattooed on his chest, which is normal, but under Eski's dark vision, he can clearly see that the animal skin around his waist has Nagash's pattern.
When did Nagash join forces with the devil?
This is something that has never happened before in the history of medieval warhammers.
"Humans! What are you here for?"
Esky asked in the language of the barbarians learned from the souls of the exiled barbarians in Lahmia.
"You can still speak our language, stupid mouse, you are a wizard, right? Surrender now, maybe the priest can spare your life."
The barbarian's knife swung several times in the air at a speed that was still difficult to see clearly with the naked eye, which caused an even more intense electric light to gather in Esky's hand.
"Stupid wizard, don't you know that at such a close distance, melee combat is more beneficial to me?"
"I can teleport spells, and I can teleport away from you at any time. So, you are the idiot."
Esky taunted.
"Didn't your master in the Chaos Demon Realm teach you? The smell on your body tells me that your master is just a minor god of chaos."
