The large army moved forward in the darkness. Under the soldiers' feet were piles of rat corpses. Scattered rat guards were lying on the ground. Some were dead, and some were dying. They were still breathing, and they were passed by.
The Kislevian soldier lasts a last hit.
Walking at the front of the team, Rhodes' ears kept hearing the screams of the rat men behind him and the muffled sound of swords piercing flesh. The entire hell pit battlefield was like a slaughterhouse. At the beginning of the war, it showed
It was a one-sided situation. The Kislev army almost crushed them in.
This smoothness made Rhodes happy and puzzled at the same time. What was pleasant was that the plan was implemented smoothly and he successfully broke into the Rat Man's lair. What was puzzling was that this should not, should not be so smooth and without any obstacles. In fact, the battle just now
, most of the ratmen were not defeated and killed, but ran away as soon as they saw themselves.
This situation was somewhat unexpected to Rhodes. Judging from the frightened eyes and exaggerated escape movements of the ratmen in the front row, Rhodes guessed that these ratmen must have thought of something very scary. Perhaps they thought they were someone.
A monster that once invaded and destroyed them? Could it be that the way he held a giant ax and slaughtered cruelly reminded the Skaven of the bloodthirsty and violent black orc Grimgor Ironhide? He even mistook himself for the return of Ironhide? Such a guess
With this, Rhodes felt a little more at ease. This proved that the rats did not deliberately lure the enemy deeper, but were really scared away.
When he entered the center of the fourth-floor hall, Rhodes' eyes suddenly opened up. He saw that the complicated tunnels ended here. This underground hall looked so empty that he couldn't see the edge at a glance. But just now he thought it was a hall.
The space is actually just a main road. This is the real central area of the fourth floor.
The underground fortress made of rocks looks extremely solid, surrounded by exposed land and mineral veins. Although there are no lighting torches in the entire hall, the surroundings are not dark. A faint green light shines from the gaps between the mineral veins and gravel.
, coating the entire hall with a layer of green light.
In the distance, densely packed rat-men were pouring into the underground fortress. It looked like a barracks, but this building, originally used for dispatching troops, had become a temporary refuge for the rat-men.
"Prepare to attack the city and blow up this fortress with artillery!"
Rhodes ordered loudly.
Behind them, dwarf technicians and human artillerymen slowly pushed the siege artillery to the front row.
"Those dwarfs, there is no news at all until now. Could it be that the tunnel collapsed again?"
Sibes, the leader of the Bear Knights, stepped forward and came to Rhodes' side to tease him.
He seemed to be in a good mood, without any anxiety or claustrophobia caused by going underground. It could be seen that almost everyone was in a good mood. The victory in the battle greatly boosted the morale of the army.
"I don't know. We don't know the structure of the underground layer. Don't wander around without permission. We still need to follow the map provided by the dwarves in advance and proceed with caution."
As he said that, the only dwarf technician in the team had already pushed three heavy siege artillery units to the front line with Kislev's artillery regiment.
At this distance, the Skaven could only look back and sigh, but the heavy siege artillery improved by the dwarf technicians could easily bombard the Skaven's underground fortress.
Under the green light, heavy lead artillery shells flew out of the human army's position, smashing into the rat men's underground fortress with a harsh whistling sound.
In an instant, the ground seemed to shake slightly, and all three shells hit. One heavy shell even penetrated the stone of the Skaven underground fortress, smashing the wall into pieces.
The powerful power of the siege artillery boosted the morale of the Kislev regiment again. The soldiers in the front row cheered loudly, while the regiments in the rear did not know why. They only knew that the front had achieved another great victory, and they also cheered and celebrated.
However, this victory did not make Rhodes much happy. Compared with the outer walls of the Hell Pit, the city walls here were nothing. This underground fortress was not a real defensive fortress in the first place.
It is just one of dozens of barracks in the pit of hell.
It is not difficult to blow it down. However, Rhodes really cares about how many ratmen or other monsters there are in the fortress.
The deafening sound of shelling sounded again, and this time, another section of the city wall was penetrated and collapsed.
Through the telescope, you can see the rat artificial soldiers urgently making repairs. However, the struggles of the rats are meaningless. Soon, the third round of artillery bombardment came again!
This time, the gap in the protective wall that the rat men had just patched up was once again penetrated and collapsed. A large amount of dust filled the air, covering up the slave rats who were rushing to repair the city wall.
"attack!"
Following Rhodes' order.
The Kislev Army advances again!
The rhythmic beating of war drums inspired the frontline soldiers to move forward bravely. At the same time, it also became a nightmare for the ratmen in the fortress.
Fear spread among the ratmen, but they had no way to retreat. For some unknown reason, Rhodes saw that although the underground fortress of the ratmen was destroyed, the number of ratmen inside did not decrease at all.
The rat-men huddled together, screaming, and the density became larger and larger, but the escape route seemed to be blocked, without any reduction in number.
The sound of gunfire rang out on the front line, and then the heavy infantry rushed into the fortress and started a hand-to-hand battle. Rhodes rested in the rear and recovered his strength.
Under the sound of war drums, the Kislev army has surrounded the Ratmen's underground fortress on all sides. Thick smoke is rising from this underground fortress full of rats. A thick smoke belt is formed above the underground city.
Like a layer of black cloud, covering the entire fourth level of the hell pit!
"Good partner, the battle time has come. When you are ready, follow me and charge! Drive all those rats away!"
With that said, Rhodes held the thunder battle ax and ran wildly again.
One person and one bear, they broke out of the crowd and went straight to the front line.
Following the charge of the great lord, were the bear knights of the Knights of the Sons of Esun. The war bears roared, their armor trembled, and the knights brandished their sharp battle axes and charged into the battlefield with overwhelming force.
"Either die in battle! Or kill all the enemies! The Bear Knight will never retreat!"
Rhodes roared angrily, one man and one bear, charging into the group of rats.
In an instant, the rat soldiers who were fighting with the Kislev infantry on the front line fled in chaos. Like hungry wolves pounced on the sheep, Rhodes and the giant bear Ursok hunted them everywhere, and once again felt like they were in nothing.
The human realm.
When the ratmen they encountered saw the great human lord armed with a giant axe, slashing with bloodthirsty, they ran away frantically for their lives as if they had seen a ghost.
Ursok roared and threw down a fleeing ratman. He bit down hard with his bloody fangs, piercing the skin of the ratman and breaking his spine. The ratman screamed, but Ursok ignored it and continued to bite.
He grabbed the rat man's back and swung it wildly. As a sound of bones cracking came, the giant bear Ursok threw the rat man out of his mouth, and blood flowed out from the rat man's torn flesh.
Compared to Ursok's violent and bloody bites, Rhodes' killing seemed simpler and more efficient.
With one swing of the battle ax, the heads of the rat soldiers fell to the ground, and with another wave, another one. Again, there were no fancy tricks, only the crushing force of pure strength. Although the rat soldiers tried to dodge and escape, their density was too high.
There was almost nowhere to hide. Every time Rhodes struck, a head would be chopped off or a Rat Man's body would be cut open.
Blood splattered in front of his eyes again. This fighting rhythm made Rhodes almost addicted. He vented his full anger in front of a group of trembling rats.
For a moment, Rhodes seemed to feel the pleasure of slaughter. Through the scene in front of him, he seemed to be able to feel the joy of Ironhide.
Another rat fell under his battle axe. The rat man whose body was cut through fell to the ground and struggled in pain. Rhodes stepped on the tomahawk deeper, and the ax blade cut open the internal organs. The rat man almost immediately
It died. It gasped heavily. Rhodes pulled out his battle ax and aimed it at the back of the neck of the Rat Man who was lying on the ground. He struck the ax...
However, just when everyone thought the battle was about to end successfully, painful and terrifying roars came from the depths of this underground fortress.
Immediately afterwards, monsters that were much larger than the average rat-men slowly appeared from behind the black door...
