The first thousand one hundred and seventy-six chapters sounded the death knell of the southern kingdom!
Ah, Miragliano.
Ah, the Eternal City.
Now, Tyrell is dying!
The city that symbolized Tyrell's glory and highest artistic achievement was now in flames.
The Skaven marched through the city, burning everything with fire and poison gas.
"Dong~dong~dong~"
The death knell symbolizing the Horned Rat is tolling, the Gray Prophets are singing the great name of the Horned Rat together, and the Demon Rat Marshal Pascrit looks with satisfaction as its army is sweeping everything.
"Yes, yes, the Horned Rat has predicted the end of the world. The end of mankind's gadgets and Miragliano has come!" Dozens of Skaven warlords led by Marshal Mouse
He danced his body ecstatically.
In fact, to be fair, the Tyrells are very powerful, at least compared to Estalia. Miragliano's powerful fortifications and large groups of legendary mercenaries also make the Skaven fearful.
.
However, all this disappeared with the death of "Besieger" Bogil.
The power of the Senate comes from the people, but it is always controlled by a few mercenary leaders and speculative politicians. Among those who wear golden crowns, which one is not gray-haired or seriously ill?
Prince Tyrell? That's a real fat pig.
Greed, deceit, malice, repeated murders and wars, betrayal and conspiracy among the city-state princes are the eternal melody of Tyrell.
Now, the bell is ringing. This city, which is said to be able to withstand any attack for three years, cannot even stop the Skaven for three days!
"The thirteenth toll of the Calamity Bell rang, and I heard the sound of the bell. One, a rat god, arrived!"
"The Great Horned Rat has come to rule the world, and he will destroy, destroy everything, until he is completely victorious!"
"Dong~dong~dong~"
When Duke Leopold led his military nobles and the group of Arabisipasi cavalry to break out of the encirclement, an urgent voice came from far to near: "Here! Brothers!"
Leopold looked up and saw a large bar called "Big Bird Rotating". This bar was now heavily guarded by the human army. The shutters on the second, third and fourth floors were all opened.
Hundreds of crossbows were stretched out. This heavy crossbow from Tyrell can even shoot through heavy plate armor!
They are Miragliano's marksmen, the legendary mercenary group!
The regiment leader, Maximian Damac, was loudly calling on the people to retreat to a safe place, and let them resist the enemy!
The crossbow pulled the trigger one after another, shooting the oncoming Skaven into a sieve and all of them were headshots.
At the same time, two other horns sounded.
The legendary mercenary group "Catraza's Birdmen" join the battlefield! These gliders wearing bird masks and equipped with flying machines enter the battlefield!
The legendary mercenary group "Bojir's Besiegers" joined the battlefield! This mercenary group was greatly reduced due to Bojir's death, but at the critical moment of the city's survival, they still stood up bravely. More than four hundred
Soldiers in heavy armor used giant shields to form a powerful circular shield wall in the Piazza Miragliano, preparing to defend the cathedral of Mirmedia, the goddess of war!
Plate armor, tower shield, heavy crossbow, this is the last stubbornness of the Miragliano people!
The sound of the horns one after another temporarily suppressed the bell of the Calamity Bell, and the morale of the human army recovered slightly. After half of the city fell in the blink of an eye, and tens of thousands of people died on the spot, the remaining human army began to try to resist.
However, except for the legendary mercenary groups, these resistance did not form any particularly decent organization.
The reason for everything is very simple. Within the Senate of Miragliano, dozens of politicians and military commanders fell in a pool of blood. In the shadows, the Assassin Rats of the Essien clan were fighting with another
A legendary mercenary group, V for Vendetta, fought fiercely. Both sides paid extremely heavy losses. The corpses of the Assassin Rats were scattered in the corridors and seats of the Senate. Even the Master Assassin died three times.
Bit.
But in the end, the assassins of the Essien clan were superior. Westeros, the captain of the V for Vendetta team, escorted the current Prince Miragliano, the gray-haired Cesar Paul Berg.
Special retreat.
Since then, the Milagliano garrison has been leaderless, and the soldiers fighting on their own will not only not receive any support, but they don't even know what their mission is.
The Rat Marshal easily commanded the Skaven army to eliminate each of them, and then turned his attention to the resistance in the city.
After several hours of fierce fighting, most of Miragliano had fallen.
The Cathedral of Myrmidia, the Goddess of War, is now a sea of flames. This 3,000-year-old historic site is crumbling under the bombardment of warpstone lightning cannons, with ruins and ruins everywhere.
The last believers of the Goddess of War and the Eagle Knights are guarding the position and trying to protect the cathedral. The ascetics whip themselves and pray to the Goddess of War for help with blood and tears. No one is trying to escape. If this is the end of human destiny
Yes, then they will fight to the last moment to protect the cathedral.
"Blast! Blow them to death!" A round of warpstone lightning cannons bombarded the tower of the cathedral, shattering the most typical and largest Gothic building in the old world. Towers collapsed one after another, and the pointed arches,
The pilasters, flowered windows, and hundreds of spiers were bathed in the sea of fire.
However, what makes the Skaven feel more and more annoyed is that the main building hall of the cathedral seems to be blessed by some kind of power. The poisonous gas blasted by the Poison Wind Grenadier can only corrode the surface of the stone, and the Warpstone Lightning Cannon bombards it.
There will only be a small hole blown up on it.
"It's that statue! That statue, destroy it, destroy it!" The Rat Man quickly discovered the statue of the Goddess of War in front of the cathedral. Amidst the screams of the Demon Rat Marshal, several Storm Rats made by the Mord clan
The trolls rushed forward, using brute force to drag down the golden statue of the Goddess of War, and then trampled it to pieces.
The protection of a certain power faded, and the Skavens came rolling in, spears and machetes solved everything. As the last combat priest fell at the door of the cathedral, the door was smashed open, and the white marble door was opened.
The main church instantly turned into a hell on earth. The crazy Skaven people looted everything of value to them. Then the hungry slave rats took every refugee hiding in it out of their hiding place, devoured them alive, and devoured them.
feast.
Brera Gallery, this former sacred art center is now a dead place. Hundreds of famous paintings that have symbolized the essence of human art and civilization for thousands of years have either been torn apart by rat men as rags or burned by fire.
Burnt to the ground, the happy clan rats pooped and peed on the exquisite paintings and sculptures.
The splendid Miragliano Theater, a stage that even Fulgrim was full of praise for, is now covered with filth. Hundreds of human captives were executed and dismembered on the spot, just to satisfy the rat people's endless pursuit of food.
The National Library of Tilea is occupied by engineering wizards and Skaven Seers, who have singled out the useful books in it, and there are countless other works that are as valuable as gold, including science, philosophy, history, geography, and law.
It symbolizes that all the achievements of mankind over thousands of years have been burned to the ground.
Every monument has been desecrated, every landscape has been destroyed, and the once glorious civilization has perished in front of the Skaven. Only the military factory has been preserved, because it contains the black materials that the Skaven need.
Gunpowder and a lot of equipment.
Rumors and panic spread wildly among the crowd, while the sounds of fighting and fire seemed to occur from all directions.
Finally, the surviving soldiers gathered in the main square of Miragliano. These thousands of elites composed of several legendary mercenary groups formed a strong resistance. Wave after wave of rat troops tried to attack the defenders.
The defense of the army was unsuccessful, but with little effect. The brave soldiers formed a powerful shield formation. Relying on Tyrell's usual spears and hard crossbows, the rat people could not advance even an inch.
The gas grenades, warpstone lightning cannons, and plague trebuchets were temporarily trapped by the strong walls of the large square and were unable to cause enough damage. The slave rats and clan rats were defeated one after another and soon collapsed.
The defenders rejoiced at this short-lived victory, and they burst into cheers one after another.
Until the bell rings.
"Boom!"
"Boom~~~!"
"DOOOOOOM!!!"
The death knell rang, and more ratmen came up. These ratmen were different from the trash before. They were real elites. The Stormrat Legion entered the battlefield in droves. These elites had red eyes and were holding swords, shields or halberds.
The rats are obviously not that easy to defeat.
The plague censer monks from Pestilen joined the battlefield waving censers filled with gifts from the horned rat. Even the rats themselves did not dare to get too close to these plague gods. Any ulcer or abscess rupture could kill dozens of rats.
Let's go together to see the big horned rat.
"Fire!" Dozens of cannons fired together, and the thunderous explosions plowed deep trenches among the ranks of the Storm Rats and Plague Monks, sending flesh and blood flying all over the sky.
The legendary mercenary group, Bronzino's cavalry artillery brigade, joined the battlefield. This group of galloping gunners used war horses to drag the artillery and galloped across the battlefield, trying to block the next offensive.
"DOOOOOOM!!!"
Although Tyrell's legendary mercenaries showed their determination, the Skaven's attacks were almost endless. Every time the bell rang, the Skaven's morale would quickly recover and then regroup, like a tidal wave of several storms.
The rat tide rushes towards the human front, and the plague monks scramble to squirm and claw everywhere. Any human who touches them will instantly break out in red rashes all over their body.
Now, in the bloody battle at three or four in the morning, thousands of mercenary regiments and local Tilea garrison formed the city's last hope. After facing hundreds of charges, the garrison lost more than half, and the remaining
The soldiers kept retreating until they were pushed below the famous Leaning Tower of Leonardo, where the solid shield array, the artillery cluster on the leaning tower and the exquisite anti-fire artillery design became the last hope of the defenders.
With the solid wall shield, the invincible crossbow and Miragliano's full-body armor, two famous mercenary groups, the "Milagliano Marksmen" and the "Bogil Besiegers" put aside their past differences and joined forces to fight against each other.
At the last moment of the battle, their wall shield withstood an extremely severe test, but the rat people were still unable to break through.
Until the Skaven sent corresponding troops.
The eight mutant rat trolls were covered in terrifying warpstone armor. They charged directly with their extremely strong bodies and withstood the fire of thousands of crossbows, forcibly knocking over the shield wall!
The Dimension Stone Lifting Team has been deployed, killing the front row crossbowmen and flying birdmen one by one!
The ratlin team entered the battlefield, and the barrage storm of wild fire made the human army unable to raise its head at all.
And in the end, four Wheels of Destruction rushed into the battlefield under the control of Skryre engineers. They crushed everything they passed along the way. Any human efforts were reduced to this under the blade of the Wheel of Destruction.
ridiculous.
Finally, as a big explosion caused by a wheel of destruction swallowed up an entire human army formation due to jamming, Miragliano's defenders collapsed. They fled for their lives, leaving only the bravest and tenacious mercenaries.
Soldiers.
These heroic mercenaries persisted until dawn, and eventually all died in battle. As the sun rose, only ruins and hellish scenes of the former glorious Miragliano were left. The deaths of 100,000 people left
The streets and buildings were covered with blood and bones. All the livestock and humans who had not had time to escape were devoured cleanly. The rat people need food, lots and lots of food, there are too many mouths to chew, there are too many
Your stomach needs to be filled.
Skaven's victory!
Victory for the Horned Rat!
Tremendous cheers rang out.
"Tear down the leaning tower!"
"Tear down the leaning tower!"
"Tear down the leaning tower!"
The roars of victory of hundreds of thousands of Skaven resounded through the ruined city, and the sound spread throughout hundreds of smoke pillars inside and outside. Countless ropes pulled the pinnacle of engineering Leonardo's design - the oblique
tower.
As the leaning tower fell to the ground and exploded into pieces, the Skaven no longer felt happy.
The symbol of human civilization and the pinnacle of architecture, the Leaning Tower has now been destroyed and ravaged. All the treasures, civilization, books, and works of art inside have been burned to the ground. How happy the rat is!
And this was only the first step in destroying the world. Although tens of thousands of people escaped, the Skaven did not panic at all. The Marshal of the Rats immediately ordered that the city be dedicated to the great Horned Rat God.
Then, after a short rest, prepare to continue the great holy war that belongs to our Skaven!
"For the Horned Rat!"
…………I am for the dividing line of the horned rat…………
Old World, April 2522 in the Imperial Calendar.
News of Miragliano's destruction did not spread quickly. The reason is simple. The Skaven blocked the passage between the Gray Mountains and the Black Mountains, leaving only the road to the south.
Therefore, a few days after Miragliano was destroyed, the southern city-states received the news.
Several city-state princes tried to assemble the army in a hurry, but how could the southern kingdom, which had been peaceful for a long time, have any particularly decent military service system? There were only standing armies and mercenaries, and most of the former had not experienced this level of battle for many years.
, the latter are very few in number.
what to do?!
No matter what, quickly seek help from the old world!
Messengers set out from Tilea to the Empire and Britannia to ask for help!
On the other side, on the same day that Miragliano was destroyed, Tobalo of the Kingdom of Estalia actually received a warning from an Amazon female warrior.
However, Tobalo encountered the same problem. Without a translator, no one could understand what the savage was saying.
The savage was even welcomed. Some Tobalo businessmen took the initiative and enthusiastically entertained the Amazon female warrior, and invited her very sincerely: "I see that your eyes are particularly pure. I have considered doing some promotion and tourism for my hometown."
Contribute?"
Due to the language barrier, the Amazon female warrior had no choice but to leave.
Two days later, Tobalo disappeared from the map. This historic city, which had been an important port city since the Elf Empire, completely disappeared. No one knew what happened to Tobalo.
Estalia finally realized that something was wrong. The situation Estalia faced was even worse than that of Tyrell. That is, Estalia, which had been at peace for hundreds of years, was in trouble except for the religious knights.
There aren’t even a few decent standing armies!
Ask for help! Ask for help from the old world!
In this way, after going through all kinds of hardships, Estalia and Tyrell's letters for help finally arrived at the desks of the Imperial Palace and the Brittanian Palace.
"What?! Milagliano and Tobalo have been completely destroyed?!"
"The Skaven emerge from the Blight Fen?!"
The old world was shocked.
The next question immediately came to the table for both the Empire and Britannia.
