"What now? Where are you going?" Knight Fatis asked.
"Go to the Temple of Sigmar in the center of the fortress, do you want to go together?" Snorri issued a warm invitation. Who would think that the battle strength is not enough?
"It's better, Master, I think my identity is as sensitive as yours!" Fatis flicked his beard and made a joke.
Snorri also smiled, thinking that Helmgart was at the forefront of the battle between Bretonnia and the Human Empire. It was unreasonable for a former knight noble to be busy saving the imperial city.
"Woo~"
Knight Fatis put his finger to his mouth and whistled, and Emma, the beautiful silver-white high elf war horse, jumped out from the wall of another courtyard.
Emma lowered her head slightly, and Fatis jumped lightly and sat on her back. Watching them gallop away under the moonlight, Snorri shook his head, "He will find the Holy Grail, right?" Snorri said to himself
Talking to himself.
"Let's go, let's move forward! Load the bullets and prepare to fight!" Johnson conveyed Snorri's order.
Two minutes later, the front row of dwarves had already rushed out of the wealthy area of Helmgart, and in front of them was a sea of mammals.
Snorri saw that the square in front of him was full of rats, and the rats standing upright were frantically attacking the temple within his field of vision.
In addition, there are many rats that work in small groups to kill residents and plunder property in surrounding buildings.
"Knock down that small building!" Snorri shouted at Johnson Strong Shield. He didn't have a shield bearer fighting platform, and even if he did, he didn't want to climb up and become a target in this situation. He needed one.
Observe the battlefield from a high point and at least find a relatively reasonable direction of attack.
"Understood!" This is not a difficult task. The small building next to it belongs to a wealthy human businessman. When he and his family saw that the situation was not good, they may have directly ran into the temple to take refuge. The remaining doormen and servants were simply resisting.
Then he died tragically.
Passing over the staggering corpses of humans and ratmen and the messy interior decorations that had been rummaged through, Snorri came to the balcony on the second floor.
"Telescope!" He began to observe the battlefield through the railings under the protection of the shield wall of the Anvil guards.
Temples of Sigmar can be found in every corner of the empire, including the Byzantine cathedral in Altdorf and many small country churches. The church in Helmgart is currently of medium size, and Snorri thinks she can hold a thousand handfuls if she squeezes it.
People.
Snorri was now on the southwest side of the square. He noticed that the rat men's attack was very disorganized, that is to say, there was no focus on the direction, and there were not many elite troops. The limited black-haired rats were driving away the war team.
Weak fellows did not join the battle themselves.
For a moment, Snorri didn't know whether this was because the Gray Prophet who took the lead was inexperienced in commanding, or because Viscount Thompson's defense was so airtight that it couldn't find a chance, or because the rats were simply besieging instead of attacking, and there were extra
strategic goals.
Snorri was caught in a tangle, and he didn't know how to take action for a while. As a fortress city, Helmgart is not large internally and does not have much strategic depth for him to operate.
However, the current situation is undoubtedly not the worst. Viscount Thompson must be capable to be assigned such an important position. He was not directly eliminated by the first wave of night attacks, but organized a strong resistance.
And retreated to terrain conducive to defense.
"How long does it take to get to Altdorf from here?" Snorri asked the knight Rick beside him.
"If we ride a horse, at the speed of my comrades, we may arrive at noon tomorrow." Walter's voice rang out.
"Well, it seems that the mice are the ones who are worried!" Snorri stroked his beard and made a judgment. To be honest, he was not sure whether the knights who went to Altdorf for help successfully broke through.
But even the rescue team of the Rats who came to the nearby dwarf settlement could not completely intercept them, so there is a high chance that things will go smoothly on that side.
Even if the messenger is really robbed and killed on the way, there will not be much time left for the ratmen at such a close distance. Snorri still believes in the smell of Prince William III of Rick.
"Compatriots, I think we should put a little pressure on those rats from the outside!" Snorri directly began to issue instructions.
"Glenson, Johnson, you two each lead a team to capture the two buildings next to them, and then Bloxon, you set up a long-range fire network in these three small buildings!"
Snorri's tactics are very simple. The surrounding buildings are in good positions. Arranging gun emplacements on balconies and windows can cover the Temple Square and the entire neighborhood with firepower.
Arranging close combat troops to eliminate the Ratmen one by one under the cover of long-range firepower can put pressure on the Ratmen while protecting civilians and reducing losses.
Time is now on Snorri's side. As long as his troops advance gradually, the Ratmen will inevitably become anxious and take the initiative to break the deadlock, which also means that there will be loopholes.
After receiving the order, the two dwarf captains quickly ordered the troops to rush towards the small buildings on both sides. Johnson completed the task easily, but Captain Glenson encountered several night rats from the Essin clan.<
/p>
These black-clothed rats hid in the cupboard, trying to avoid the dwarf warriors who invited the Iron-Smashing Warriors in front to sneak attack on the rear team. Fortunately, there were not many of them, and they were killed at the cost of several tribesmen being injured.<
/p>
Although the first phase of the mission was successfully completed, Snorri did not relax his vigilance. He stood on the balcony with a telescope in one hand to observe the battlefield, and in the other hand he held a rune loudspeaker brought from the settlement to cheer up the humans in the temple.<
/p>
"I am the High Prince Snorri Thorson! I have come to support you in accordance with the covenant of Henggu! Hold on, don't worry, my men are solving the rats in the city, and they will protect your families!"<
/p>
Snorri's words undoubtedly boosted the morale of the humans. Obviously, the prince not only came to support, but also came so quickly, which was beyond Viscount Thompson's expectation.
"Gudu!" Snorri roared a few more times and took out a bottle of beer and downed it. It was still quite cold to blow in the air while wearing armor on a winter night.
"I'll go in and take a rest! Call me if anything happens!" Snorri ordered the rangers and then got back into the room.
In fact, as expected by Snorri, the Skaven reacted quickly. The fact that Helmgart has no strategic depth is also the same for the Skaven.
"Dear Goddess' Choice! The mice are moving!"
Snorri stood up when he heard the sound, and his butt had not warmed the sofa underneath him! "Brothers, prepare for war!"
