Galt followed the team panting. Ever since the wood elf Aliria discovered the target, they rushed forward as if they were possessed. A penetrating bell sounded above their heads, and Galt concentrated.
Listen, there are exactly thirteen bells. According to ancient books, the rat people can only ring these thirteen bells when they are in danger of extremely threatening invasion.
In other words, above, the Kislev army led by Rhodes and the dwarf army led by Dulong City have successfully broken through the rat people's key defense line. Now, the entire hell pit seems to be shrouded in an atmosphere of death, a kind of
Real death, destructive death, not a blade of grass can grow.
Galt knew that with the hatred of Mrs. Kislev and the dwarves towards the Skaven, once the Hell Pit was captured, this underground devil's cave would definitely be looted and slaughtered.
Thinking of this, the mage couldn't help but feel excited. However, he was excited. At the moment, their mission had not been completed. After locking the target, the team members kept running forward like a group of mad dogs.
In the narrow tunnel, dust was flying, and wearing heavy elf armor, Galt could hardly breathe. He fell at the back again. Even Grondy, the dwarf with the shortest legs in the team, ran ahead of him, and there was no
How many gasps. Galt didn't think that Ironbreaker's armor would be lighter than his own... but the dwarf's endurance was really amazing.
I don't know how long I have been running in such a narrow tunnel. Suddenly, the team in front stopped. Galt squatted on the ground with his legs weak, feeling his heart almost beating out of his chest.
"Why did you stop?"
Galtner asked in wonder.
"Shut up!"
In front of him, the captain of the Marauders, Celta, stopped him sternly. His voice was not loud, but it was full of majesty.
"That girl has found the target, we must hide and ambush first."
Celta then explained.
…
The five-level platform of the Hell Pit.
After the battle plan was formulated, the combined forces of Kislev and the dwarves began to disperse along the central platform. Caroline and a group of frost witches also dispersed and stood in a circle around the central island.
The power of the spell was brewing. Standing in front of the large army, Rhodes felt that the originally hot underground space was gradually cooling down. The air was filled with fine ice crystals, and even a thin layer of ice gradually formed on the iron weapons of the warriors.
Thin frost.
Of course, that's not a weapon enchantment, it's just caused by pure low temperature.
"Take advantage of the opportunity, we only have two hours!"
In front of the team, Rhodes was talking loudly with the dwarf commander.
"Caroline and her Frost Witch will cast spells alternately to ensure that the ice bridge does not suddenly lose support and break."
"I understand. We only have two hours. If we cannot reach the other side within two hours, we must retreat. How many times have you said this, Lord Rhodes?"
The dwarf commander answered impatiently.
"You should understand the principle of one strong effort, then another failure, and three times all. The first attack is when the morale is the highest, and it is also the one with the highest success rate. Once it fails, the confidence of the soldiers will be severely damaged. In theory, we
There is still a second and third chance to charge, but the further you go, the lower the winning rate is. We have already captured half of it, and neither you nor I want to give up. Neither Kislev nor Dulong City want to give up, right?
So, you still have to be cautious.”
Rhodes warned again.
The gradually cooling air and ground alerted the ratmen on the other side. However, before they could react, intensive artillery fire rang out from the positions of the Kislev and Dwarf coalition forces.
All Kislev heavy artillery and dwarf organ guns fired at the same time, and dense shells whizzed through the air, forming ballistic traces trailing white trails!
At the same time, the frost witch battle group headed by Caroline began to cast spells. Along the platform, the rock walls began to freeze, and white ice grew out of thin air, growing and thickening little by little.
Almost at a speed visible to the naked eye, the ice bridge quickly formed under the eyes of the soldiers!
The scene in front of them shocked the Ratmen on the other side, and they screamed and roared loudly.
First, the fat Pit Abomination ran to the edge of the central platform and roared in the direction of the ice bridge.
Then there were countless wolves and rats wandering around the Pit Abomination, howling.
However, no matter what methods the rat men used to destroy it, the ice bridge finally reached the other side.
"Attack! Warriors of Kislev."
"Attack! Brothers of Dulong City!"
All around the battlefield, the excited roars of the coalition forces were heard, the horns sounded, and the Kislev heavy infantry and the dwarf long-bearded veterans each formed a shield wall and began to advance along the ice bridge.
Caroline and a group of frost wizards used all their strength to cast spells at the rear to maintain the stability of the ice bridge. Hanging ice picks hung from the bottom of the bridge, like ice sculptures that had stood here for tens of thousands of years. However, the spectacular
The ice cone and the long bridge were formed in just half an hour.
Stepping on the solid ice bridge and feeling the biting cold, the hoplites advanced cautiously.
The ratmen on the other side screamed and threw spears and stones, while the human and dwarf infantry raised their shields and continued to advance with dense phalanx as cover.
The densely packed bows, arrows, spears, and stones hit the shield wall, making a crisp sound.
Within ten minutes, the first group of dwarf infantry approached the central island platform.
The Abomination on the shore immediately wielded chain hammers and iron chains to fight back. The heavy chain hammers were like heavy bombs, repeatedly hitting the dwarf phalanx.
With every attack, two or three dwarf warriors were knocked off the ice bridge, flying down with their shields on, leaving a trail of splashing blood.
However, more dwarves, led by the infantry commander, continued to approach and fight with the oncoming rat army.
Three lines of dwarf armies advanced slowly.
However, things were not that easy for the Kislevian army. Sensing the approaching crisis, the ratmen took the initiative under the orders of their leader and blocked the Kislevian attacking troops directly on the bridge.
The densely packed rat-men were screaming and screaming, and the darkness was overwhelming. They stood almost in every corner of the ice bridge. So that every moment, some unlucky rat-men fell from the ice bridge without guardrails and fell into the river of blood.
, splashing up a pool of muddy water mixed with flesh and blood, and then submerged in the thick river of blood...
"Hit the back row!"
Standing on the stone platform, observing the development of the battle, Rhodes felt anxious.
In terms of long-range firepower, Kislev's heavy siege guns and improved continuous fire guns have an almost crushing advantage. However, the artillery cannot directly bombard the ratmen on the bridge, otherwise, the newly cast ice bridge may be damaged.
Severe damage and interception. In this way, the loss is not just as simple as a squad.
You need to wait at least a day before casting the spell again. There is no guarantee whether there will be that much energy.
Otherwise, looking at the dense crowd of rats, Rhodes really wanted to fire a few shots at this dense black area, which would definitely cause pieces of flesh and blood to fly.
The small deep pit battlefield was surrounded by fire, which was the light of artillery and musket fire. At the same time, white gunpowder smoke filled almost every corner around the platform.
There is no doubt that both the Kislevites and the dwarves have musketeers. The long-range troops provide long-range fire cover as much as possible on the edge of the cliff for the heavy infantry in front.
