The sound of thunderous shelling sounded from every corner of the city, and the light of fire flickered in the dark ruins of the city.
Rhodes knew that the imperial coalition forces led by Marius began to attack the city.
This is the last undead stronghold. After Duncan Hof Castle is conquered, vampires will no longer have a foothold in Sylvania.
Rhodes was looking forward to it, and everyone was looking forward to it. The soldiers of Kislev were originally suffering from diseases, but now, they heard the roaring shelling, like hearing the horn of victory. Once Duncanhof Fort was taken
Next, it was declared that the vampire war was basically over, and they could set off to return to their homeland.
After a long period of torture in darkness and rotting air, sunshine and warm food are what every soldier longs for most.
Rhodes knew that the soldiers' endurance had reached its limit and this was their last chance.
Therefore, all soldiers, together with the reserve team, were ordered to participate in the battle.
Marius lay back and asked with contempt.
Marius stood up and shouted in reply.
"Cheers to the long-lost victory!"
"A toast to victory! A toast to the great Lord Marius! Long live the Empire!"
Some people in the crowd started to flatter him.
Duncanhof Castle, which was impregnable a few days ago, is now riddled with holes. Under the indiscriminate bombardment of the Imperial Artillery Troops at all costs, there are more than a dozen gaps in the entire castle!
Tens of thousands of soldiers poured into the city through these gaps.
…
Marius turned his head, raised his glass and shouted to Rhodes.
After the entire Duncanhof Castle was completely captured, the soldiers took Rhodes to find the corpse of the vampire lord... He was shot to death randomly... Looking at the vampire corpse in front of them that was riddled with holes,
Rhodes couldn't help but sneer... This is probably the most miserable vampire in history.
In the past hundred years, he was the first human lord to invade Duncan Hof Castle. He fulfilled the long-cherished wish that the forefathers of the empire wanted to fulfill but had never fulfilled. At least, that's what Marius himself thought.
With the horn of charge, the Ice and Snow Alliance forces and the Imperial Legion attacked the City of the Dead from three sides at the same time.
However, before he finished speaking, he was ruthlessly interrupted by the Ice and Snow Witch——
Marius's face immediately darkened, but just a few seconds ago, he was smiling and raising his glass to celebrate with everyone.
This glorious moment originally belonged to Kislev, but now, these so-called reinforcements have turned against the foreigners in just two days, claiming to be the conquerors of Sylvania. People who participated in the early battles looked at this scene.
, they couldn't help but feel contempt, the image of the empire in their minds had collapsed.
The screams of banshees, the shouts of fanatics, and the roars of ghouls were heard together.
Also looking ashen were Walker Ma, Marcus and others.
Rhodes just sneered from the side and remained silent.
On the throne where the vampire lord once sat, Marius held a glass of red wine and enjoyed this rare moment of joy.
"Don't forget who initiated the vampire war, and don't forget who, before you and your legions arrived, fought countless desperate battles with the undead on the undead land of Sylvania.
fight."
At the same time, his adjutants also echoed, and the hall was filled with boos. The originally harmonious and joyful atmosphere had undergone subtle changes.
"By the way, the great commander of the Kislev Army - Lord Rhodes. Thank you for your outstanding contribution to this vampire war. The empire will definitely remember this glorious history. I, Marius, also express my gratitude to you.
Sincere thanks.”
"You mean, Kislev is the real conqueror of the undead and the real master of this land?"
Caroline's cold voice echoed in the hall, and for a moment, the whole place was silent. Obviously, everyone realized how serious the consequences would be for the Frost Witch Principal to say such words on such an occasion.
"Isn't it? How many times has the imperial army appeared during the entire vampire war? My compatriots and I went all the way south, and after numerous fierce battles, we advanced to Duncan Hof Castle.
The soldiers of Sirif are still wrapped in bandages and injured, but you are here celebrating this so-called victory."
The rumble of shelling lasted for half an hour.
Under the darkness, the imperial coalition used crushing firepower to smash the last wall of Duncan Hof Castle!
There was no vigorous duel or duel, and there was no time to even say a word of pretentiousness. Just because there were many people on one side... they were beaten to death by the shooting army and the imperial musketeers.
"Victory comes from the empire, and the celebration banquet must of course be held by the empire. I want to ask, without the empire's advanced firearms, can the Kislev army attack this castle? When I arrived, the situation I saw was not optimistic. Two people
Days ago, what I saw was the wounded and sick all over the place. If it drags on any longer, I’m afraid you will suffer casualties faster than the undead."
Rhodes could see the glory on the face of the Elector of Aviland, as if he was reborn.
Once upon a time, this was the highest palace where vampires ruled over the undead. But now, it has become the territory of the living.
"Your Majesty Marius, I'm afraid you are mistaken. This war, the real winner of this war, should be Kislev and the Church of Sigmar. It was the coalition of Kislev and the Church of Sigmar in Duncanhof.
The fierce fighting outside for several weeks consumed a large amount of the undead's strength, and only then did we achieve today's victory."
However, the mad king, who had been rebuked for a long time, had no way to go down. In front of everyone, he was humiliated by a northern barbarian, which was a disgrace to the elector.
"It was me who led the empire's army and arrived in time to capture this castle in one go. It was me who led the empire and Kislev to the final victory. This is an undoubted fact."
Although they belonged to the empire, from the expressions of several people, Rhodes could tell that these imperial soldiers who had fought bloody battles with Kislev also looked down on these colleagues who came to take advantage at the last moment.
The Tomb Guards and the Blood Knights formed the last line of defense, guarding the door of the Dark Tower. The Necromancer was fighting a trapped beast, but before he could cast a spell to resurrect the dead, he was shot through the head by an arrow from the Snow Guard.
Caroline responded loudly. She hadn't broken her skin yet, and Rod knew that there were some ugly words that Caroline hadn't said yet. She was stepping down the steps to the Mad King.
The pale moonlight shines through the narrow high windows of Duncan Hof Castle and onto the endless white marble floor. The banquet hall is immersed in an atmosphere of joyful victory.
The battle went much smoother than expected.
The outer city wall was quickly breached, and the coalition of survivors rushed into the inner city like a flood.
The adjutants below responded to him one after another and made boastful noises.
The entire castle was ablaze, and the scene in front of him reminded Rhodes again of the day when the outer city of Duncanhof was captured. The flames devoured the undead and turned the city into ruins. Now, the same scene is about to happen in Duncanhof.
It happened again inside the castle.
Marius raised his glass high and shouted to everyone in the audience.
But Walkerma, Marcus and others could no longer stand such an occasion and chose to leave early.
"Let's end today's debate, Lord Marius. Now is not the time to argue about who has the greater credit. Duncanhof has been captured, but right now, there are many more important things waiting for us to do. We must do it as soon as possible.
Rebuild the city. Clean up the remnants of the undead outside the city. Put away the sharp edges between you and me. There are still many things waiting for the empire and Kislev to work together to complete."
