Rhodes stood on the edge of an almost vertical underground cliff, looking at the Hell Pit Ratman Fortress on the other side. This is the defensive fortress on the fifth level of the Hell Pit. There are pits and deep marks on the cliff edge where iron cable rivets have been pulled out.
It can be guessed that there was originally a long iron cable bridge here, connecting the outer periphery and the central island. Now, the iron cable bridge has been destroyed, and what stands between the Kislev Army and the Ratmen of Hell Pit is an almost insurmountable gap.
A hot wind blew from the ground. Rhodes walked on the edge of the cliff and looked down. The scene here could really be described as hell.
I saw a slow-flowing river of blood under the cliff vertical to the ground. The underground moat that glowed with dark red light was composed of countless blood and groundwater. The underground water source that was supposed to be clean was polluted, and broken internal organs were floating on the river.
There were countless broken limbs and arms, and it was impossible to tell whether they belonged to humans, ratmen, or other creatures.
The underground river stinks because of these greasy internal organs and rotting limbs, and its flow rate is extremely slow. If you don't look carefully, you might think it is a solidified blood belt.
Some recruits who had just come off the ground couldn't help but vomited immediately when they saw what they saw.
Rhodes stood there, contemplating.
It can be speculated that the rat people want to use this as a natural barrier to keep out the Kislev coalition forces. Without a bridge, this short distance of a few dozen meters is a natural danger for the mortal army without wings.
From the rivet marks that were forcibly pulled out, Rhodes could easily think of the massacre that just happened on the fourth floor. The underground ratmen blocked the passage and locked their kind between the fourth and fifth floors.
In the narrow gap between them, the purpose is to delay the advance of the human army and buy time for the ratmen on the fifth floor to destroy the underground bridge.
Now it seems that their plan was successful. Tens of thousands of Kislev soldiers stood in a circle around the central island. The enemies on the other side were visible to the naked eye, but they were helpless.
If you want to break through the Hell Pit, the fifth level is the only way to go. According to the information of the wood elves, the elites and leaders of the rat people are located below the sixth level of the Hell Pit. And the only way to enter the sixth level is
It is the central island spiral staircase passage on the fifth underground floor.
The rat-men on the other side screamed, as if they were mocking, but also as if they were screaming in terror.
It can be seen that among the rats, there are some more huge things. Even bigger than the rat trolls, they are some indescribable physical monsters. They are composed of the broken limbs and pieces of meat of various creatures.
The fat body moved among the rats, and the rat people they encountered immediately made way for it, because no one wanted to be swallowed by these behemoths in the next second.
There is no doubt that those giants are the infamous Abomination of the Pit.
Rhodes had imagined what these creatures looked like countless times. They should be giant sutured creatures with three heads and six arms and a height of 3 to 4 meters. They had fat bodies and used chains or heavy hammers as weapons. Their bodies were crawling with countless
Maggots and corpse monsters.
Rhodes' imagination could only go so far. The sight in his eyes was even more terrifying than he imagined.
Those monsters not only have three heads and six arms, but also have huge bodies stitched together with various animal organs and flesh, and they also have countless pairs of eyes! Yes, that fat and huge body is covered with countless pairs of blinking single eyes, some of which are
There are human eyes, and some are animal eyes, those of cattle and sheep, hounds and wolves, and rats. Countless pairs of eyes blink on the huge body sewn together from pieces of meat. The sight is like a devil from hell.
And their shapes are also different. Some have only one arm, while others have seven or eight hands growing out of the deformed body, if they can still be called hands...
Their movements look very clumsy, but if you take their size into account, they are actually not slow. After all, each step taken by a 4-meter-tall monster is equivalent to several steps taken by an ordinary human being.
Their heads are also different. Some heads grow on the neck, which is normal, some hang on the neck like sarcoma, and some grow on the abdomen and chest, with a thick mass of flesh above the neck.
pad.
Some pit abominations use iron chains as weapons and roam freely among the rats, grabbing one or two rat-men at random and stuffing them into their mouths, as if they were just snacks between their teeth.
And some abominations don’t have any weapons. Their bodies are weapons, with sharp fangs and claws like lions, thick tentacles and washing dishes like octopuses, and many legs as hard as spiders. I can’t imagine what kind of evil magic they are.
Only then were these completely different organs and tissues blended together to form such a meaty monster.
And in Rhode's mind, there is another bigger question...that is, where have the dwarves gone? Where are the friendly forces in Dulong City? Why didn't I see a single figure from the beginning to the end? They agreed to attack together, but now, it has changed.
The Kislev Legion became a lone warrior.
Rhodes had a hundred questions in his mind. With the character traits of dwarves, they are unlikely to break their promises. Once they make a promise, they will definitely fulfill it. This is the tradition of the dwarves. Furthermore, Lord Thorgard is not that insidious and selfish person.
Villain, they won't let Kislev's army rush in first and take advantage of it themselves. According to Rhodes' understanding of the dwarves, their hatred for the ratmen is deep in their bones.
If Lord Thorgard arranges this, he will definitely be despised by the entire clan.
So the question is, where did Chapo's army go?
Before anyone could come up with a plan to land ashore and defeat the enemy, Rhodes ordered Bear Knight Captain Sibes to lead a team of knights to investigate. They knew the entrance to the passage on the third floor.
…
Three layers of tunnels in the Pit of Hell.
"Bastar, damn it, let the Iron Dragon Hand Cannon take over, I'm going to blow up these filthy rats!"
"But, Captain, that would risk blowing up the tunnel..."
"Let the heavily armored veterans evacuate the tunnel, and the others, open the gap with hand cannons! Damn it, I've had enough of these rats. They are chirping in my ears and driving me crazy!"
"Also, we have already exceeded the gathering time agreed with the Kislev humans for a long time. I don't want those Kislev guys to laugh at us by then!"
Deep in the tunnel, countless ratmen are gathering at the entrance to the third floor to prevent the invasion of the dwarf army. Their combat effectiveness is not strong, but their number is several times or even ten times that of the dwarves. After several days of fierce fighting, the tunnel There are almost no uninjured dwarf soldiers left on the front line.
The captain was tired of the endless melee and decided to use heavy weapons to open the passage into the city.
The deputy captain reluctantly conveyed the order to the troops at the rear. In fact, the entire tunnel was not too narrow, and the front line could even accommodate hundreds of dwarves and ratmen fighting at the same time.
However, even with such a width, the number of rat-men is still densely packed, with no end as far as the eye can see. So much so that the captain began to doubt whether the news that the hell pit was bloodbathed by unknown creatures was true. So many mature individuals are produced in a short period of time.
If the information is correct, then the only explanation is that their previous understanding of this underground devil's cave was not comprehensive.
But now, when they actually entered it personally, the veil of the pit of hell was truly revealed.
[Rhodes, the Kislev army, I don’t know where they are. I really hope they slow down... Oh... Damn it, how could I have such an idea...]
The frontline commander of the dwarf army muttered in his heart, glad that he did not speak out to himself. Otherwise, it would be really embarrassing.
As allies, they should hope that Kislev's army will advance into the heart of the Hell Pit Skaven as soon as possible. However, if that is the case, then the reputation of the dwarves in Dulong City is not guaranteed...
