Chapter 1358: The Battle of the City of Misty(1/2)
Yes, that's right.
Lane owes Blood Dragon Ancestor Amber Wallace once. On Albien Island, if the Blood Dragon Ancestor hadn't persuaded Count No's vampire coast army to retreat, Lane's war under Conqua Tower might have faced a desperate situation.
It's hard to say why Amber Wallace would choose to use such a precious favor to help Neferata. Ryan looked at Vlad, Arkhan and Amber Wallace, and suddenly found that these three powers were in the old world.
The person who can dominate the world is either Neferata's ex-husband or Neferata's lover/ex-lover.
The Blood Dragon Ancestor is indifferent to everything in the world, but he is only particularly concerned about Neferata. Even though the two have passed the love period and are destined to never be together, Amber Wallace still cares about her.
Neferata.
But after Ryan thought about it, there were really very few things that could threaten Neferata. Regardless of the fact that Lahmia Blood Ancestor was at the peak of the Holy Domain and was not good at nor liked fighting, this world could defeat her and threaten her.
There really aren't many.
This is Ryan's promise, and he should honor it both emotionally and logically.
He waved his hand impatiently and agreed, and Neferata escaped.
Vlad and others were allowed to enter Nur, but only a few vampires led by Vlad. Even so, many people still doubted whether Vlad and others would attack civilians because of their thirst for blood.
However, no, Vlad has already obtained the power of Nagash instead of relying on blood-sucking. Arkhan has no need for this, while Neferata is very simple. She has many in the city.
Through channels, some "blood stations" were opened, and through secret bartering and money redemption, there were many people who were willing to sell some blood to improve economic problems.
For the time being, the incarnation council's airs have been put up, for the time being.
At the same time, war raged in Lustria in the summer of 2526 in the Imperial Calendar.
Although the defense of the Moon City was not bad, Fulgrim successfully defeated the Skaven army that besieged the city, and also killed Colchis, the general manager of the March Road of the Moon City of the Skaven Plague Clan, but the Moon City
After all, it was still paralyzed. In the long battle to defend the city, the Lizardman Legion of the Moon City had suffered a devastating blow.
The second-generation Slanthuga in the Moon City barely recovered from the battle against the evil moon. Tehuga was a little drowsy because he had used up too much power, but there was no time for Tehuga now.
After falling asleep, the second-generation Slann told everyone that Itaza, the leader of the cities, and Slanwupeck, the city of mist, were attacked by the Skaven.
Moreover, the Skaven were extremely targeted. Facing Itaza, the largest, strongest and most fortified city, the Skaven did not choose to attack directly. Instead, they adopted an encirclement approach to cut off Itaza's connection with the outside world.
, waiting for the opportunity to attack, because Itaza has the largest number of holy guard legions, and the main lizardman army is stationed here.
The head of the cities has never fallen to the enemy. In more than eight thousand years, since the first invasion of Chaos, Itaza has never been seriously threatened, let alone the Lord Croc here now.
And now, in front of its city walls and arches, the rat army is gathering in full force. Amidst the constant crackling of whips, the hard-working rat people dug a deep trench along the vast periphery of the city and set up a huge siege.
Machines are coming to prepare for the siege of the capital city. For other races in the world, seeing such huge Skaven siege machines next to their own cities would cause great fear.
In front of the great walls and arches of the Capital of Cities, any of the Skaven's machines looked insignificant. Compared with the sacred Great Pyramid of the Capital of Cities, the Skaven's trebuchets looked like a bunch of children's toys.
It's just a toy. During the first invasion of Chaos, the capital of the cities was surrounded by ocean-like demons. It withstood the largest invasion in the world. Therefore, the city defenders did not feel uncomfortable with the machines that were besieging them outside now.
Nothing to cringe at.
After analysis, Fulgrim concluded that Itaza did not need to worry. The snake god Tehenhuoyin, the wanderer Nakai, and the shadowless hunter Osiotan had all led their own legions.
Fulgrim decided to support the City of Mist. Under the leadership of Skink Priest Teto-Ekko, the Ash Legion and a small number of remaining temple guards of the City of the Moon set off immediately.
The city of mist, Silanwupeck, was originally considered indestructible by the lizard people, because the city of mist has a large number of chameleon legions. The powerful fog surrounding the entire city will make intruders unable to find their way.
, got lost in the fog, scattered, and were completely strangled in the guerrillas. Historically, from the Chaos invasion eight thousand years ago until now, the City of Mist has encountered many invasions, but the attackers have been protected by the powerful fog.
Return with success.
But this time it's different. The Skaven have created professional equipment to deal with the fog in the Mist City.
Two of the seven plague lords of the Plague Clan led their own legions respectively and approached the city of mist from two directions. The two plague lords will attack the city from different directions and use their own methods to defeat the mysterious layer.
of fog.
The First Plague Lord: Lord Skrimax is considered a stern and demanding commander, even among the notoriously cruel Plague Clan, who appreciates ruthlessness and greed more than any other race.
guy.
Skremanx has the ability to amass a vast and pitiful army of slave rats and lead his warriors onto a battlefield of epic proportions, with all Skaven leaders crawling over the corpses of their opponents and slaves to ascend to the throne.
, but this lord climbed directly up a mountain of death and reached the coveted second seat in the Pestilence Clan: the Pestilence Steward. Among all those who serve the Lord of Decay, Negrich
Among the Plague Lords, only Lord Skook is more powerful than him.
Lord Skrimax's method of fighting the Mist is "tandem".
The troops that enter the fog first will leave flags and warpstone braziers in many places to lead the Skaven in the rear to continue to advance. All Skaven will grasp the rotten chains soaked in the plague water and destroy all the Skaven.
All the Rats and Rats were strung together, lighting lights next to the flags left by the initial Slave Rats troops, and connecting the flags between them. The Plague Monk troops followed the large group of Slave Rats that disappeared into the mist, and then stepped into
In the mist.
As soon as they entered the fog, the Skaven felt as if they had entered another world. It was humid and sultry, and they couldn't see the sun. The sound was forcibly suppressed, and the heat and humidity were trapped in the air. It didn't take long.
, all the Skaven were soaked to the skin, and their fur was still dripping with water. When the ground turned into a swamp-like
, the growth of the jungle disappeared, and each swaying step slowed the movement. Their feet were tied with chains, and slaves who slipped were trampled and drowned by the legions behind them. Those who lifted their feet or tails out of the muddy water
The rats that came out soon discovered that either a section of their bodies was missing, or their blood had been sucked dry by something.
There seemed to be some whispers in the mist, sometimes near and sometimes far away. In the knee-deep swamp, the constant sound of splashing water may be the sound of some creatures in the water, but it may also be the sound of slave rats being pulled into the water.
sound.
The unique hissing voice of the lizard people echoed in the mist. From the swamp, from the air, from the vines, the woods, and the bushes, the lizard people's voices were heard endlessly. Teams of slave rats and clan rats disappeared into the depths of the fog.
There was no response from them.
The plague priests pulled the chains back in desperation, trying to bring back the missing troops, but the other ends of the chains were either broken meat or blood stains, and the rats had already disappeared at the other end.
As time goes by, the losses of the Rats are increasing. After each team disappears, squadrons and even brigades disappear. The Night Running Rats are sent out to search for traces of the missing troops, but there is also no Rat.
The Rat came back to report what had happened.
There was no day, no night, I don’t know how long time had passed, and all that was left were gasps and silence.
In the mist, something was approaching. The poisoned javelin suddenly flew out, killing the clan rats. A ball of poison-soaked darts was quickly shot out from the blowpipe. The plague monks were attacked one after another, and some of them were crazy and irrational plague priests.
With a team
, dancing the plague censer to form a rotating gas shield. The warping smoke released by the swinging censer offset some of the directional properties of the mist, but these madmen soon lost their minds, and they also rushed into the mist, never to be seen again.
return.
The bloody courage faded away, leaving only fear. The Skaven were finally unable to stop the spread of panic.
"I heard, heard the swamp talking, yes, it was the lizard people!"
"Then, that bush is talking too, talking!"
"Mist! The Lizardmen are coming!"
"Rat, rat, we all want to die, die!"
"The damn crawlers are everywhere, everywhere!"
"The trees are talking!"
Lord Skrimax's army finally collapsed. More than a hundred thousand Skaven fled in all directions. The Lord himself had to forcefully open the plague furnace. The poisonous plague in the furnace killed the skink wearing a hat.
The guerrillas and the Chameleon guerrillas were forced to retreat, while the Behemoth Legion in the City of Mist was infected with the plague and gave up the pursuit.
The High Lord of Skrimax then led his army out of the mist.
At this point, the first Mist City raiding army was defeated and returned. Lord Scrimax, the general manager of the Skaven Mist City Marching Road, could not help but curse the second army, hoping that they would fail completely, otherwise it would be like this
Where does the chief executive put his face?
The second Plague Lord is named: Bristro - the Spreader of the Word. He leads the Skaven army called the "Plague Brotherhood" army into the fog, preparing for a decisive battle with the lizardmen in the city of fog.
Unlike Lord Scrimax, who was superstitious about plague and traditional methods, Lord Bristro was more willing to believe in high technology than plague.

The engineering warlocks of the Skry family used their own high technology to penetrate the fog. In the engineering warlocks' sight, the fog can no longer interfere with their sight. The signals generated by the warp stone technology are continuously transmitted into the engineering warlocks' earphones.
, let them correct the path and guide the direction.
The sniper attacks of the Skink and Chameleon guerrillas failed. When the Skink approached the Skaven, the Skaven would certainly not feel their presence. However, Richter commanded a nearby dimensional flamethrower, producing intense green-black flames.
It penetrated the mist and melted the skinks and monitor lizards who were in agony.
As clouds of lances and darts emerged from the fog, the Engineers responded with magical chains of black lightning, scorching the ambushers before they could retreat.
At other times, the Skaven armies paused, Poisonwind mortars firing warpstone bombs at the creatures lurking ahead. As the armies advanced, the poisonous smoke dissipated, leaving behind the remains of the reptilian behemoths.
Corpses, poisonous gas still surging in their throats.
The dense fog that had guarded the Mist City for eight thousand years failed in front of Skaven.
At this time, the lizard people's trouble finally appeared. The defensive force of the City of Mist was the smallest among the four major cities. The defenders here believed too much in the power of the mist, so there were not enough guard troops left at all. The previous ones in the City of Echoes
