Chapter 1332 How did the TMD Empire become like this?
With the fall of Lawn, the situation of the battle to defend Brunswick gradually became clear.
There are about 80,000 people in the three Nurgle armies outside the city to block the attack of the Knights' Holy War Army. The current situation is that after the battle between the four demon armies of Chaos, there are not many 100,000 Knights' Holy War Army left.
to 50,000 people.
Ryan was seriously injured and the commanders were exhausted. Surya tried to reorganize the Holy War Army. The number of Norscan dwarves was too small to establish a victory. After the tragic war, the wood elf army was defeated and the human army was crumbling. It was completely
Because Ryan's personal prestige ensured that no Brittanian would dare to turn around and run away.
They had already tried their best, and even Diego was dragged back to the camp by the great gryphon Imperius.
The Holy War Army coming from the south and the Undead Army coming from the east were like cheese sandwiched between two sides, besieging Nurgle's army. On the eastern front were the three brothers belonging to the Maggot Riders and the three undead kings Arkhan and Gul.
,Luthor Harken's battlefield.
The 60,000 men of the three brothers of the Maggot Cavalry fought fiercely with the 50,000 men of the three undead kings. The Talabheim Massacre Army faced off against Arkhan's Tomb Guard Corps and Gul's Nagashiza Guards.
and Luthor's Deep Sea Guards.
In terms of elites, the undead are definitely superior, but compared to the quality of the soldiers, there is no doubt that one Yankee can deal with ten zombies or five skeleton warriors.
Both sides can look forward to the arrival of reinforcements. The Chaos army still has Zan'ec's Tzeentch legion and the beastman dark prophet Malagor's herd army that can be mobilized. The Order coalition is also looking forward to the Governor of Thorland and the great alchemist Gael.
Special reinforcements.
(What everyone doesn’t know is that the two supporting armies actually collided on the way to support and have been fighting for several hours.)
The situation inside the city is already very critical. Almost all of the northern city has been lost. There is still a royal palace in the south city. The Cathedral District and the Nuer defense circle in the southeast of the city are still in the hands of the empire. In addition to the Nuer army, there are about 30,000 people defending the defense.
At this time, there were less than 15,000 Imperial troops under the command of Marshal Heilberg, and they were all scattered throughout the capital to resist sporadically.
In contrast, the main force of the three Groat brothers plus Gotrit's spitting army is still about 100,000 in size. Now the backbone troops resisting the main force of Nurgle's army in the city are no longer able to turn to the imperial defenders.
In front of the Imperial Palace, under the statues of Charlemagne and his twelve paladins, there was a melee between Vlad's Army of the Living Dead and Grote's Army.
The last palace guards of the empire watched helplessly as the undead and the Yankees fought fiercely at the entrance of the palace, but no one dared to leave their post without permission. This extremely ironic scene made the warriors of the empire feel ashamed and happy.
At the same time, Nurgle's corruption deepened within the city of Brunswick.
The battle wizards of the empire have exhausted all their power, but the infinite life of Nurgle Garden will spread to every corner of the city. For this reason, a total of 53 shadow wizards sacrificed their bodies to protect the shelter in the slums.
turned into a pile of ashes,
In the end, they were unable to stop Nurgle's corruption, and the entire sanctuary turned into a mutated hell. Walking out of it were teams of semi-demon transformations, poor workers who praised their loving father and spent their lives contributing to the prosperity of Brunswick.
They have chosen to fall into the arms of a loving father.
The metal wizards left behind at the Alchemy School weaved a huge spell, covering their chimney fortress with a layer of inert gold steel, so that Nurgle plants could not grow on it. However, even metal must succumb to the power of decay: thin plates quickly
Rusty, chipped, exposed tiny
Gradually, the Chimney Fortress was covered by the Garden of Nurgle. When the metal wizards woke up, they found themselves in the Chaos Realm. What awaited them was a tragic fate. After all, there would be no more Ryan.
I personally ventured into the Garden of Nurgle to fish for people.
The Academy of Light is protected by the Pyramid of Light, and there are still a large number of light mages who venture into the jungle-covered streets to fight the Chaos Army. They have released the Light of Exile and the Flame of Light, which have expelled many enemies, but the demon army is endless. As time goes by,
As time went by, these light wizards were gradually engulfed by Nurgle's poisonous mist. Amid coughs, screams, and struggles, the light wizards fell one after another.
The tower of the Sky Academy has been covered by the mutant strain of Nurgle. The Hurricane Celestial Demonic Vehicle completed its mission after annihilating three Chaos Demon Legions in succession. The Chaos Storm swept through it, leaving only a pile of scrap metal.
The mages of the Emerald Academy summoned the emerald life energy to fight corruption in their courtyards, but the trees in their courtyards were the first to mutate. These ancient magical trees were the first to betray the Emerald wizards, and then the Emerald
The wizards themselves unknowingly mutated into sarcoma trees while casting spells, until everyone merged with the woods in the courtyard and became one, achieving the great harmony of life.
Fortunately, Amber Academy and Amethyst Academy are not in Brunswick and escaped this crisis.
If there is any academy in the empire that has the greatest effect against Nurgle, then it must be the Academy of Flame. The fire mages are unparalleled in their ferocity, and their flames are enough to prevent the spread of the Nurgle jungle.
In order to defend the capital of the empire, these fire wizards turned themselves into living fire, attacking demons and flowers and vegetation with their bodies, burning them to ashes with their burning touch.
For eight hours, the Flame Academy was always burning with the purifying fire of the Burner, surrounded by black garbage ignited by the fire of contempt. The flame wizards told Nurgle, we are not afraid of your heavy rain, and we are fearless of your corruption.
.
Then the pyromancers went to their deaths.
Nurgle noticed this group of thugs who were unwilling to accept his favor, and his kind father felt that it was necessary to give them some color, so the storm blew more and more fiercely over the academy, and violent downpours fell one after another, like a tide of milky white pus.
Doused the flame mages' glorious fury to defend their homeland.
After several hours of heavy rain, the Flame Academy tower finally lost its last trace of fire.
One by one, their flames were extinguished, and the losers fell to the ground, trembling and covered in viscous liquid, like burnt candles themselves as they had reduced Nurgle's creations to ashes.
The remaining wax is like oil, and the human shape can no longer be seen.
"The palace must be defended." Elector Vlad von Carstein of Sylvania looked gloomy. He vomited out foul-smelling bile. After being parasitized and killed by Nurgle hornbeam seeds once,
Vlad was resurrected immediately, but Nurgle's influence did not disappear so easily.
The corruption was still plaguing the Lord of Death in Vlad's body. Vlad had to use all the power of Nagash to fight against it, which greatly damaged Vlad's strength and the strength of his undead army.
, the undead army that was originally responsible for guarding the area near the palace was quickly defeated by the Yankees and was beaten back steadily.
Vlad was in great pain, with yellow-green mucus flowing out of his mouth and nose. Nurgle's curse was bothering him, which caused his strength to regress from a demigod to the peak of the holy realm. He needed a lot of time to get rid of Nurgle's curse.
, but he knew he had no time and he had to hurry.
Similarly, the three Grote brothers who were heading towards the Imperial Palace also saw the twin-tailed comet.
"The star! The star is coming!"
"The stars have been aligned, eldest brother, third brother, we must hurry up!"
"Me too~"
The three Groat brothers also noticed the twin-tailed comet. Because of their achievements in conquering Brunswick, these three brothers were infused with more blessings by Nurgle. Now the three Groat brothers are Groat-authorizers.
They all possessed powers close to those of demigods, and the Yankees around them knelt down one after another, shouting the names of Otto, Ezerak, and Gurrett.
As the combat effectiveness of the undead army declined, they were gradually forced back by the three Grote brothers, but the gate of the palace was indestructible.
The three Grote brothers didn't take it seriously. Following their summons, a two-legged living copper bull rampaged across the bloody and chaotic battlefield. The dark runes on its battle ax exuded white hot destructive energy.
Behind the living copper bull, a group of Drakwald Minotaurs roared and rushed over, crowded with horns and bloody flesh everywhere. When the giant brass bull rushed over, the spearmen blocking the road couldn't help but scream in fear.
Yelling, the thick-handled spear broke on the metal skin of the monster, and the spearmen slipped backward in the mud, or their formations scattered in fear. The rune battle ax of the Bronze Ox rose and fell with the power of decapitation, and every blow
A man split in half.
The Minotaur was too powerful for the remaining Imperial defenders, who fled and scattered.
Elector Marius led the remaining few Golden Fleece knights to fight against the Minotaur war gang. The close-range hand cannons or revolving fire cannons shot out sparks on the surface of the metal body of the copper bull. In the end, nothing happened.
The bronze bull knocked the elector Marius to the ground,
It first loudly praised the power of the Blood God, and did not directly kill the elector Marius. Instead, under the order of the three Grote brothers, it forcibly opened the palace door. The Bronze Bull was proud of its great achievement.
He raised his head and struck his chest with the rune battle axe.
At this moment, an amber light flashed, and a black feather arrow sank into the only place on the copper bull's throat that was not covered by a metal skin. The Imperial Hunter Marshal Marcus Wolfhart stood in the palace tower.
Go up, put down the amber bow, and review the results of his battle.
The bronze beast let out a gurgling scream, rolled its eyes in its metal eye sockets, and fell to the ground dead, crushing six skeleton warriors.
Although the empire and the undead coalition are still resisting, the palace gate has been broken open, and the three Grot brothers personally led the "Groat Army". This is an army of about 700 Nurgle God's chosen warriors and more than 2,000 warriors.
A Chaos Warrior, more than 1,500 Norscan champion warriors and the remaining more than 2,000 marauder riders, berserkers, Kurgans, Norscan fishermen, and abandoned elites, who are also the three Grote brothers.
The final trump card.
In contrast, there are only three hundred guards left in the palace, as well as the undead army summoned by Vlad von Carstein.
Elector Marius, who was in charge of guarding the palace, was seriously injured and was dragged out of the battlefield by his Golden Fleece Knights. Thousands of zombies jumped from nearby buildings like raindrops and pounced on the Yankees, entangled in them.
Huge skeleton warriors holding spears and shields formed a shield formation and tried to block the road under Vlad's order.
But they still couldn't defeat them. Ezerak's magic exploded in the shield wall, and Otto's scythe cut through the reinforced skeleton. At this time, the three Groat brothers were closer to demigods than anyone else in the old world.
The Grand Duke of Nord, the Elector Theodoric Geisel, bravely led the Nord Royal Guard to fight against the undead. He used his rune teeth to cut down six Nurgle God's Chosen Warriors in a row and was stabbed by two halberds.
He was pierced through, and then the Chaos Warriors armed with heavy weapons chopped his entire body into two pieces from the shoulders to the waist.
The three steam tanks were launched. The third brother Gu Ruit rushed up to grab the body of the steam tank with the cannon, and then swung it hard. The steam tanks quickly rotated back and forth like a top. Gu Ruit slapped them one after another and bombarded them.
Side by side, the top spun faster and faster, and finally turned sideways, releasing boiling water and scalding steam in all directions. The scalded engineers screamed in pain and tried to climb out, but they were quickly cut into pieces by the surrounding plaguebringers.
.
The battle continues.
At this time, two large gryphons flew above the sky.
Flying towards the center of the besieged city, the emperor's feathered helmet soared into the sky. Emperor Karl-Franz and Chief Grand Wizard Greg Mattak finally returned.
The emperor watched in disbelief as his city burned.
In the east of the city, the battle between the three undead kings and the three brothers of the Maggot Cavalry is still going on. Gul holding a black ax is hacking and killing among a group of Yankees. The strange soldiers of the vampire pirates and the Nurgle demon army have all kinds of strange shapes.
of demonic creations entangled together.
In the west of the city, the remnants of the Knight's Crusaders and the three Grote brothers were still fighting. Karl Franz saw Lane's fleur-de-lis banner and the tricolor flag of the Old Guard, but water from a distance could not quench his thirst nearby.
Within the city, except for Nuer, the human defenders were still guarding the defensive circle in the southeast. The North City District and the West City District were on the verge of falling. Only the East City District was temporarily saved by the combined efforts of the undead and humans.
Where is the palace? Where is Charlemagne's throne? The emperor couldn't help but confirm the location of the palace in panic. He vaguely confirmed the location of the palace from the direction of the huge building covered with vines, fungi, and poisonous moss.
The scene in front of him made the emperor open his mouth. He saw a steady stream of undead army and the elite army of the Yankees fighting in the imperial palace. It seemed that the undead army was not only on the side of the empire, but also the cursed Feng -
The head of the Carstein family was personally commanding from the nearby bell tower. He fought to the death against the Chaos Army in order to defend the Imperial Palace and even joined the battlefield himself.
And what about humans? Where are our empire's troops? The emperor looked at the palace filled with undead and Yankees, and couldn't see a few imperial soldiers at all, so he couldn't help but cursed in pain.
"TMD! How did the empire become like this?"
Mattak, who was behind him, was also confused by the battle situation. The chief wizard was not a military and political strongman like Geert. Mattak didn't even know how to manage the internal affairs of the magic academy. His first reaction at this time was his old profession:
"Your Majesty, we should go to the Imperial Zoo immediately!"
"Why go to the zoo and release all the monsters?" Karl-Franz frowned.
"That dragon! My Majesty, only you can awaken it. If we have the power of that dragon, we still have a chance!" Matak commented cautiously.
"Imperial dragon? It's too late." The emperor thought for a moment, and he saw the twin-tailed comet. The warm light on the stars and the glorious power that symbolized the empire made some pictures faintly appear in the emperor's mind, as well as the ancient
Prophecy: "No, let's go to the Hammer Hall!"
"Holy Hammer Hall?" Matak's old face immediately became confused: "But Your Majesty, Gail Maraz is not there!"
"Yes, I know it's not there." The emperor nodded: "You can wake up the imperial dragon, and I will give you the power, but as the emperor of the empire, I must be with the empire even at the last moment.
I will undergo my ultimate test under Gael Maraz."
The Emperor ordered the Deathclaw to fall, and Matak had no choice but to follow.
The three Grote brothers, who broke through the undead defense line, just saw the Emperor of the Empire and the Chief Grand Wizard of the Imperial Royal Family descending from the sky.
