The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 229 We Need the Power of the Doomsday Rocket!

The zombie rat in front of him was undoubtedly a warning from the underground.

"They seem to want to intimidate us, using those thousands of robot-like zombies, if they can really refine this kind of thing on a large scale, their combat effectiveness will be quite terrifying."

Ickert is a little scared. The most terrifying thing about this kind of zombies is that they are not afraid of loss. As long as there is a zombie factory behind them, they can even fight stronger and stronger!
Moreover, zombies with basic intelligence can perform tactical tasks on the battlefield, which is different from simple undead with guns.

Ickert then conducted a series of tests with the house rats, and found that the group of zombies were still consciously looking for cover!When using a gun, it will also aim at the approximate target!
If it cooperates with human command to outflank, Ickert can't even imagine what a terrifying army it will be!

If it were an imperial general who only had conventional equipment, he would probably retreat here. Even if he wanted to fight, he must gather reliable extraordinary troops and enough magicians.

But this zombie also successfully made Ickert realize the horror of his opponents. No matter what they are entrenched in the ground for, he must eliminate these bastards as soon as possible!
Otherwise, there will be endless troubles!

The underground people didn't realize it at this time, but their "warning" strengthened Ikert's determination to attack the underground.

They will pay for their actions.

"Call the generals immediately! We are going to discuss the battle plan again!"

An hour later, all the Ratman officers arrived at the meeting hall, and Ickert didn't talk nonsense, he laid out the map and began to discuss the details of the battle.

The intelligence upgrade of the enemy army caused problems in many plans, and the Ratman officers quarreled over the tactical plan.

"This is an underground war. According to the experience of the rats, the focus should be to seize the tunnels. Time is not an issue. We might as well dig tunnels for a few years below now."

"Kroger! What era is it! We are still using traditional Ratman tactics! We have no conditions to implement those plans that span dozens of generations of rats!"

The two battalion commanders of the Guards quarreled on the spot. Underground excavation is a very time-consuming and equipment-consuming task. In addition, the ratmen often mess things up. It's the norm.

It is precisely because of this limitation that the plans of the Skaven ratmen usually cost dozens or even hundreds of generations of rats. This kind of persistence is commendable, and perhaps it would be very appropriate for them to drive the earth to wander in space.

But Ickert can't just watch them give up their lives and get nothing done in the end.

"The discussion about the tunnel attack can be suspended. Small-scale attacks are fine. Large-scale tunnel excavation will be very difficult in such an underground, not to mention that the enemy will probably not stick to the tunnel."

Targaryen stood up and stopped the battalion commander under him. The Rat, who had received the education of the new era of warfare, knew very well that sticking to the tunnels was not in line with the enemy's equipment advantages.

"They know what kind of army they are, just like us, everyone thinks that their side has the strongest long-range firepower!

When the range reaches a certain level, the preference for terrain is more simple, plains, and highlands. We have no requirements other than that, because that will only increase the enemy's bunker, even if it is just a forest. "

Ickert listened silently to Targaryen's speech, and felt very relieved. At least he understood how to take advantage of the artillery, and this was the advantage of the territory. Close combat had always been what Ickert wanted to avoid.

This mouse has a bright future!

Targaryen successfully analyzed the enemy's action logic from the perspective of equipment. The underground enemies have equipment and high ground. In this case, why give the Ratman a chance to detour, outflank, or even fight in the tunnel?
The fort run by the opponent is their best backing, just like Lushun, Sevastopol and other famous fortresses, as long as they are properly defended and well supplied, even a hundred thousand troops cannot break through them.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party obviously didn't have such a strong geotechnical ability, Ickert would not have dared to directly chew on this kind of fortress.

Judging from the earthwork ability of the underground people, Ickert can't help guessing that it is very likely that they came from another world.

After all, the continent under our feet is like Azeroth, and it will be invaded by the Burning Legion from time to time. It is really normal for some outsiders to come.

Ickert was even thankful for the undead army under his feet. Fortunately, there was no main battle tank drilled out of it, otherwise he would be ready to reopen.

After sorting out his thoughts, Ickert led his generals to analyze again.

"What Targaryen said is correct. Since the other party has built enough fortifications, there is no need to take risks with us on the front line.

All we have to do is to take advantage of artillery fire, force the enemy out of the fortress, and force them to counter artillery! "

"But the clan leader, according to what you said, the undead have a very strong awareness of bunkers, and the artillery attack may be too slow to take effect."

It was Nalun, the artillery staff officer of the Ratmen who spoke.

"As an artillery officer, I can say responsibly that our artillery is too inefficient."

"What if it is paired with a scouting familiar?"

asked Targaryen.

"I remember that the clan chief intends to equip you with an observation mage. As long as you have that, you can accurately correct the artillery landing point."

"Of course it is possible, but the premise is that our artillery must be accurate enough. I have no objection that this can improve our killing efficiency, but our artillery also has a limit."

How to drive the undead army out of the fortress has become a difficult problem. Due to the limitation of industrial capacity, their damage to bunker targets is very limited.

This situation did not get any better even in World War II.

In the end, the officers in the hall quarreled and came to only one conclusion.

"If there were weapons of mass destruction, everything would be solved."

The Ratmen were actually talking about the Doomsday Rocket.

The doomsday rocket, that is, a kind of dimensional stone nuclear bomb made by the Skaven rat people. Ikert doesn't know the principle of it. He only knows that if the territory can really save one of that thing, the underground people will definitely be scared die.

According to the Skaven's consistent urination, the Doomsday Rocket must be a small piece of high-energy charge that was refined and refined from the Warp Stone. No matter how random the energy of the Warp Stone burst, it can always release a devastating explosion. degree of energy.

There is no shortage of launch carrier territories, and paper shell rockets are barely competent.

The key is the dimensional stone needed for refining, which is by no means a small amount.

However, in the process of development, the territory is always hoarding dimensional stones. Apart from the 3000 dimensional stones that have been used, the territory still has about 4000 dimensional stones in stock.

Gritting his teeth, taking every 8 dimensional stones as a base, it's not that he couldn't bear the pain to save up [-] counterfeit doomsday rockets.

The power must be smaller, but the advantage lies in the continuous firepower and long-term threat. In order to prevent them from launching more doomsday rockets, the opponent will definitely find a way to go out of the city to fight.
