Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 429 The Skaven under Itza
A leading plague priest used his slender claws to push aside the sword-leaf bushes that were as tall as a person. Looking at the towering city wall not far away and the disgusting holy aura lingering outside the city wall, he couldn't help shouting excitedly,
"We have arrived, yes, yes. Under the protection of the horned god, we have arrived!"

If Minasnil was present, he would be the first to see who this plague priest was. It was the chief plague priest who had been looking for for a long time and was considered the sixth sacrifice.

The Spine of Sotek was dug out over the course of several years by an extremely long hollow tunnel
After Negrich discovered that the city of the sky had become a real meat-grinding battlefield, he chose an extremely risky action.

More than [-] slave rats dug north from the southern tip of Sotek's Ridge day and night. The Plague Lord's original plan was to personally lead the army and send the deadly plague to Itaza in order to fight the Lizardmen to the limit. Change another behavior, let the big horned rat's gaze focus on Pestilen again.

However, the convening of the Skaven Magic City Council brought many changes to this operation. A large number of ratman fleets from the old world were stopped by Itaine's navy, but Tyrion probably never dreamed that a batch of The submarines of the elite troops of the major clans have passed through the blockade and successfully arrived in Lustria.

And Imrik didn't expect that these rats in submarines would bypass the Twilight Fortress and choose to land from the west of Lustria. Even though the Dragon Prince held the most terrifying sea monster Amarna, The cruising area of ​​the ancient sea dragon is not that wide, allowing a submarine troop to land successfully.

The Chief Plague Priest took out an item from the grimy shroud, a dimensional stone composed of the most turbid and chaotic energy, which came from an artifact bestowed by the Horned Rat himself.

It was this artifact, as well as the Gray Seer's spell, that allowed Pestilon to escape the magical perception network from the abandoned temple city of Aschotor and successfully reach the city of Itaza.

The slender claws pressed on this dimension stone amulet made of thirteen water chestnuts. The chief plague priest's skin, which was originally full of chickenpox and boils, quickly withered and turned black, and the same was true for this dimension stone amulet, wrapped in pure green. with a black spot.

The plague was injected into this dimensional stone talisman. After the death of the chief plague priest, a rat man wrapped in black cloth took the talisman, appeared for less than half a second, and then disappeared in place.

The master of death is the absolute core of this operation. When the Pestilian plague rat and the elite troops of the major clans support the defenders in the city, he will send the artifact full of plague and chaotic energy to the core of Itaza The area, whether it is the Great Pyramid indicated by the Horned Rat, or the Incubation Pool, are all places to choose from.

A very bloated Ratman was carrying an extra-large halberd, riding an equally strong Den Rat, and took over the position of commander. His mottled brown skin was covered with various scars, and only one of his right eyes It is full of viciousness, and the half-truncated tail is also full of various scars.

Pascalite, a warlord who survived the war between the Ratmen and Nagash, became the most reliable servant of the Gray Seers clan after beheading the most powerful mage under the Necromancer. Ranked fourth.

"Clan Scully, bring your things up, bring them up." Pascalite's hoarse voice was particularly deep. As a ratman whose lifespan far exceeds that of other compatriots, he cherishes himself more than any ratman s life.

But this time the task is the oracle of the Horned Rat. The head of the Grin Clan, who is at the same level as him, used the excuse of resisting the dwarves and chaotic dwarves, and stabilizing the power of the Ratmen in the mountains and dark places on the edge of the world. The regiment came to Lustria.

But this doesn't mean that this veteran ratman warlord doesn't have the courage to fight for his life. After all, the seal of the horned rat reminds him all the time that if he flinches a little, death will be a better end.

Under the command of the Generalissimo of the Demon Mouse Army, fifteen crude war machines were pushed forward by the slave mouse. An extra-large dimensional stone was placed behind the gun mount, and the gun barrel was connected to the energy source. Crude brass sphere.

Without anyone's reminder, when it felt the cannon it had never heard of approaching, the surrounding black fur rats backed away automatically, even the Stormrat from the Scully clan.

Only the warlock engineer, who is not afraid of death, walked to the operating platform next to the giant dimension stone, used the engineering aid to aim at the eyes and corrected the target area, and then laughed and pressed the operating lever to inject the energy of the dimension stone into the brass sphere.

The flowing energy poured into the copper ball, and after passing through the surrounding restraints, a green ball was formed at the front end of the thick and long muzzle.

The ground of the energy cannon began to tremble, and so did the gun mount as the launcher. Under the strong chaotic energy, everything around it began to shake violently.

All the Ratmen were praying that this attack would work, not only because it would break down the towering city walls, but also to protect their lives.

All the Ratmen present have seen the power of the Skuri Clan's weapons, but this kind of power is often relative. Improper operation is not suitable for the Ratmen, because the weapon itself is strongly unstable. Not only can it kill the enemy, but it can also cause serious casualties to its own people.

Green rays of light appeared from the top of the energy cannon and shot straight at the city wall of Itaza within the attack range. All the trees and bushes that got too close along the way immediately turned into a mass of lifeless withered objects.

Explosions came from the towering city wall of Itaza, and fifteen energy cannons hit three positions, but even the city wall blessed by the Old Sage seemed unable to bear such serious damage, and large pieces of rubble fell to the ground , and if you look carefully, you will find that the place where the green beam disappears keeps turning black, and the dimensional energy is constantly devouring everything it touches.

The sound of explosions came not only from the city walls of Itaza, but also from the Ratman army. Under the blessing of the Horned Rat, only one cannon exploded on the spot, turning all objects within 30 meters into It was crushed and disappeared into this world.

Pascalite was secretly happy for a moment. The worst plan was that five cannons would be scrapped at once. Did he know how unreliable these experimental weapons are, but it seems that the steel mouse in Mosquita did not lie to himself. , As long as a volley is fired, no matter how strong the city wall is, it will not be able to stop the crazy invention of the Scully clan.

"Skuri's men continued to attack the city wall, the Plague Monk attacked, the Stormrat covered the sides, and the monsters stayed in the middle." Pascalite gave the order, and then beat the restless lair with the end of the halberd Giant Rat, as the No.1 member of the Thirteenth Council.

"The horned rat walks among us!"
