Snorri noticed that the rat people in the square began to move closer to the northeast corner of the temple. Since the small buildings occupied by Snorri were located in the southwest corner, the fire coverage effect in the diagonal position was the worst.
"It seems that the Gray Prophet didn't damage his brain by eating the dimension stone." Snorri muttered.
"Don't worry! Inform Johnson and Glenson to bring back the scattered troops!" He gave the order again, but he was not ready to attack the Ratmen immediately.
What if their gathering towards the northeast corner was a feint attack? If Snorri gave up his favorable terrain like this, the dwarves would be unable to move their positions much faster than the fast-moving Skaven. p>
Snorri decided to wait until the main force of the ratmen came into complete contact with the human defenders in the temple before taking action, lest he enter the battlefield and be regarded as the main target of attack by the ratmen too early.
Although he decided to support the humans here, Snorri did not want his tribe to suffer too much loss. The fertility rate of dwarves is low, and every tribe member is the most precious wealth.
Snorri saw that the Gray Prophet Lord still launched an attack according to the traditional method of the rat people. A large group of clan rats and slave rats were driven towards the back door of the temple.
Viscount Thompson did not sit back and watch the rat people rush to the door of the temple. He commanded his Halberdiers to set up a dense phalanx at the door. These human warriors were wearing blue and red uniforms, which were unique to the Rick Territory.
color.
In order to distinguish the troops of each province when fighting together, the electors chose liveries for their troops that represented the culture of their own territories.
Snorri knew that these infantrymen of the Human Empire all belonged to the provincial legions. They were all full-time soldiers with fixed pay and were ready to respond to the call of battle at any time.
Of course, in addition to serving as regular troops to repel incoming enemies during wartime, they also played the role of city guards, firefighters and law enforcers.
However, the current gathering of this unit is a bit hasty, and some members have not had time to put on their complete uniforms.
These warriors waved the halberds in their hands with a force that could break bones and muscles - it was different from the fighting weapons popular in Snorri's original world that combined daggers and spears and had the dual functions of hooking, pecking and stabbing. p>
These weapons with thick blades may be more appropriately called ax guns. They have a short ax on the head, an iron point on the back, and sometimes a curved hook, and the top is the tip of a spear or shuttle.
Compared with spears, they are better at fighting large enemies. Since Reikland is often harassed by beastmen in the great forest, monsters in the gray mountains, knights on the other side of the mountain, etc., the provincial legions here are more willing to equip them.
Halberds. They are powerful enough to split through thick armor and tough skin.
But when it comes to fighting against a low-quality race like Skaven that relies on quantity to win, they are not that flexible. This is also a tactical mistake caused by Viscount Thompson having never fought against Skaven before.
Wielding a halberd requires more physical strength, and more importantly, they must be wielded with both hands. Therefore, although there is no protection except a breastplate, these soldiers have to fight without a shield.
Since they had no shields, these halberdiers quickly suffered losses under the intensive long-range stone-throwing attacks of the rat men. However, their heroic fighting still caused a lot of damage to the rat men.
Soon, Viscount Thompson made adjustments, and some infantrymen equipped with swords and shields took over from their tired comrades to guard the gate.
Swordsmen are undoubtedly a unit more suitable for fighting against rats. Seeing that the attack was blocked and faced with the narrow backdoor clan rats' numerical advantage, which could not be used, the Skaven leader also adjusted his tactics.
After a brief confrontation, Snorri saw a group of rat trolls approaching the battlefield from a distance. There were about ten monsters in this group, and they started the battle driven by several corrupt clan beast trainers. "Human friends! Be careful! The rats have sent out their monsters!" Snorri reminded with a rune loudspeaker from a distance. At the same time, Bloxson also began to direct the artillery battery to recharge.
"Bang! Bang!" Before the rat trolls jumped close to the back door of the temple, two cannon shells hit their formation.
To Snorri's surprise, the artillery that had been going all the way was deflated. The rat troll that was shot did not die on the spot in the explosion. Instead, it went crazy and rushed towards the temple.
Snorri couldn't help but sweat for his human friends. These basic line infantry who relied on courage and combat skills to fight could hardly resist the impact of monsters.
"Sigma is with us! Warriors, show your courage! Crush those dirty creations!"
A loud voice resounded through the night sky of Helmgart. Snorri twisted the telescope in his hand to focus to see the speaker clearly.
Soon, he saw a bald head. The bald head held a one-handed war hammer in one hand and a book in the other. The bald head was wearing plate armor and exuded a faint golden halo.
"Sigma Battle Priest!" Snorri curled his lips. He thought of the heartless Walker Ma who sat on the war shrine in later generations and ran to give his grandfather Na's head.
These guys, who shave off their hair to show their loyalty to their God-Emperor, must not only enrich the spiritual well-being of the citizens through sacred prayers and protect them from the forces of Chaos, but also inspire their armies through brave and heroic battles.
"Strengthen your faith! Our faith will gather into the toughest shield!" the battle priest roared, as a circle of faint golden light emerged from his body, and then spread to the surrounding human warriors.
Our faith turns into a shield, as hard as the wrought iron of a castle.
"Well, with the scale and importance of Helmgart, it's not surprising to have a battle priest!" Snorri stroked his beard, and he still had a good impression of such bald people.
It is not easy to find a group of powerful and firm-believers in this world where chaos is raging. What is more important is that they also abide by the covenant between their God-Emperor and the dwarves, and regard aiding the dwarves as part of their doctrine.
Snorri watched as the group of human swordsmen were not directly overwhelmed by the rat trolls under the protection of the Shield of Faith. They shrank back into the back door of the temple, so that only one monster could squeeze in at a time.
Under the cover of the swordsmen's shields, the halberdiers slashed to death the two guys who were most thirsty for flesh and blood with their weapons. However, the rat trolls behind also began to directly attack the walls of the temple under the command of the trainer.<
/p>
Every blow of their claws and crude weapons can leave a dent in the masonry wall. After two or three times, the back wall of the temple began to tremble slightly.
