Just as Fulgrim expected, the Skink Legion's attack was just the beginning.

In the afternoon, the expeditionary force immediately discovered that the Lizardmen were counterattacking.

The Lizard Legion, which is taller and taller than a human, appeared in the depths of the rain forest. These creatures are not the little men of the Skink Legion at all. These Lizard warriors are tall and strong, with powerful arms.

They surged out from the lush rainforest like green tides, completely surrounding the ruins.

"Swish, swish, swish~" A large group of cavalry riding cold lizards also appeared deep in the rain forest.

The ancient race began to show its fangs.

"Legion Commander, the scouts discovered a large number of lizardmen reinforcements!" A great swordsman immediately came to report.

"How many are there?" Fulgan always remained calm.

"I can't even count them. The number is estimated to be more than five thousand." The great swordsman said with sweat on his forehead: "What should we do? Legion commander, do we want to retreat?"

"Retreat? Are we competing with these lizardmen in the lizardmen's territory, in the tropical rain forest?" Before Fulgen could answer, Pirazzo first reprimanded the great swordsman for his unrealistic idea, and the experienced mercenary leader looked around for a moment.

Looked into the distance.

The forest is trembling, the forest sea is swaying, a heart-stopping restlessness.

The morale of the expeditionary force began to be eroded by the fear brought about by the unknown. The soldiers hesitated, and subconsciously, they turned their attention to the figure standing on the ruins.

That's their belief.

Fulgrim knew what he should say.

In the heart of the Emperor's Children Primarch, these men of his are just a ragtag group of people, not to mention his former legions, and even his army blown to that planet by the warp storm are far inferior.

But what does this have to do with anything? Doesn’t everyone come from scratch, from weak to strong?

Since being resurrected, Fulgrim has set a yardstick in his heart. He needs to prove himself again in front of his father. He must prove again that he and his army are the perfect sons of the Emperor. He will use this army to

Recreate his glory!

In full view of everyone, the leader of the Ashes Army spoke.

"Wealth, or death, glory, or oblivion." Fulgrim's eyes shone brightly. He carried the golden power sword and said slowly: "Now, there is only one fight, there is no escape, no rejection.

,Soldiers, do you feel afraid?"

"No!" The soldiers who came to the Lustria expedition were either young soldiers eager to perform meritorious service, or mercenaries eager to make a fortune, or criminals who committed crimes and sought to get away with it, or they could not survive and came to enlist.

A homeless man who eats food.

No matter who it was, there was a fierceness in their hearts. After hearing Fulgen's words and feeling his contemptuous gaze, almost in an instant, the soldiers all turned red and roared loudly: "No!"

"So, are you willing to fight for me?" Fulgrim stood above everyone with his outstanding figure. He felt it, felt the faith, bravery and hope of mankind.

"Yes! Yes!"

"The glory of the past has long been gone, and the endless darkness has swallowed us up, but we are still standing here! We are great humans, the greatest race in the universe. We were born from war, and we will never surrender. We are brave.

Soldiers who are loyal, have faith, and agree with me, raise the weapons in your hands, hold on to your shields, and let us write the glory of our expeditionary force in blood and fire!" Fulgan laughed and raised his head.

The sword in his hand.

"In the darkness, we are born!"

"In the light, hope lasts forever!"

The majestic figure sang loudly, and his god-like majesty made the entire expeditionary force swell with enthusiasm.

That is a light that is more dazzling than the sun.

"Glory! Glory! Glory!"

The Army of Ashes boiled, and the human soldiers roared loudly. Their cowardice, fear, and wavering had all turned into ashes, leaving only loyalty and faith, and the blood ignited in their chests.

Fearless courage turns into powerful strength.

"In a future filled with endless darkness, there is only war. Soldiers, who is your enemy?"

"Who is the enemy of the legion commander! Who is our enemy!"

"Soldiers, why do your swords exist?"

"For the honor of the legion commander! To protect the legion commander!!!"

The human army is once again ready for battle,

When a large group of lizard men appeared in front of the expeditionary force, all the human armies were ready. Without a trace of panic or fear, the human soldiers firmly guarded the entrance to the ruins.

"Aaahhh!" The first wave of thousands of lizard warriors roared and charged towards the human army.

"Fire!" Pirazzo signaled the artillerymen to fire: "Fire!"

"Fire!!!" Five mortars and three cannons opened fire at the same time!

"Boom~boom~boom~boom~" The huge muzzle spit out red flames, and the mortar's shells flew high into the sky and blasted directly towards the Lizard Legion. The first shell exploded into pieces among the Lizard warriors.

, caught off guard, seven or eight lizard warriors were engulfed in the flames of the explosion in an instant.

"Boohoo~" The eight shells fired in a row fell one after another and exploded in the Lizard Legion. The Lizard Legion was frustrated. The human artillery was powerful, and the Lizard Legion was suppressed by firepower.

The ancient races in these forests showed no signs of retreating or wavering, as if their dead kin had nothing to do with them. On the contrary, more lizard warriors poured out of the rain forest and rushed towards the human army.

"Fire!" Led by the veterans of the company, the crossbowmen and musketeers opened fire at the approaching lizard warriors. The dense crossbow bolts and muskets knocked all the first row of lizard warriors to the ground.

The effect of crossbows has become much worse. Unlike Skink soldiers, Lizard warriors have hard skin and hold shields. As long as they are not hit in the vital points, they will not fall. They release the anger of native creatures. Many Lizard warriors have

With more than a dozen arrows stuck in it, the charge was still going on.

"Wow!" The first lizard warrior approached the human military formation. He waved the mace in his hand and opened the tips of several approaching spears in one breath: "Roar!!"

"Stab!" The spearman retreated, holding the spear with both hands, and with a strong force, seven or eight spears pierced the lizard warrior's body.

"What a thick skin!" Some human soldiers shouted: "Hit the vital points!"

Lizard warriors are completely different from skink lizards. The skin of these creatures is much harder. If the tip of an ordinary spear is not used properly, it will be difficult to damage their flesh.

"Hold it!!" The morale of the human soldiers was high. They were closely united and the forest of spears made it difficult for the lizard warriors to rush into the spear formation. The soldiers sang war songs of courage and struggled to move their spears and halberds.

Stab past.

"Go to hell! Alien!!!" A young recruit stabbed the tip of his spear into the abdomen of a lizard warrior, and red blood splashed all over his face.

He subconsciously wanted to pull out the spear, but found that the lizard warrior was holding the spear with his hand. The alien in front of him firmly grasped the lever, and then in turn used the lizard spear in his hand to penetrate the creature with one shot.

The head of a new recruit!

Blood splattered everywhere, the recruit's head was stabbed, and the soldier next to him even tasted his brain.

There was no time to remember or get angry. A pikeman immediately filled the vacancy in the general formation. Before the next group of lizard warriors rushed up, the crossbowmen and musketeers had already reloaded: "Let go!"

"Bang~bang bang bang~" dense musket sounds rang out, and the lizard warriors in front of the military formation were fired upon by volleys of muskets at close range, leaving behind a large number of corpses.

The first lizard army had already suffered more than half of its casualties. Although the humans had also suffered considerable losses, when the second round of shelling by the human artillery intercepted the fire of the lizard warriors who were preparing to charge, whistles and special sounds were finally heard from deep in the forest.

's roar.

"Cavalry!!!" The human army immediately discovered that a large group of cavalry was attacking from the flanks!

Hundreds of cavalry were composed of cold lizards who were close to horses and lizard men on cold lizards. Some of these lizard men were armed with guns and some with sticks. They quickly crossed the ruins and came towards the side of the human army formation, attacking directly.

Cannon and mortar emplacements!

"Calm down!" Fulgrim raised the golden power sword: "Array of the Wolf!"

"Yes!" the human soldiers responded loudly. Facing the lizardman Cold Lizard Cavalry attacking from the side, the soldiers quickly organized themselves into small teams. They rushed to the path that the Cold Lizard Cavalry must pass, preparing to challenge the cavalry.

The well-trained pikemen stuck their shields on the ground and raised their spears. When the cavalry approached, the pikemen suddenly took a step back and knelt down, raising their shields diagonally.

"???" Hundreds of cold lizard cavalry did not react to the human actions. The cold lizard stepped directly on the shield and passed the first row of soldiers. Then these creatures realized that they had missed the step and fell from the air.

.

Waiting for them are a large group of spearmen and sword and shield soldiers. Every cold lizard cavalry who falls into the human position finds that he has to face at least three human enemies!

"Forward!!!" The great swordsman joined the battlefield, and the veterans waved their giant swords and quickly killed these lone cold lizard cavalry. Many lizards were pulled off the cold lizards and fell into the siege of humans.

.

"Get up!" After half of the cold lizard cavalry were put in, Fulgan ordered the pikemen to set up their shields. The remaining cold lizard cavalry were blocked from the line and fought fiercely with the pikemen.

The front and sides are full of figures of human armies and lizard-man legions fighting. The entire ruins is like a flesh-and-blood millstone, with red-eyed humans and lizard-man legions engaged in a brutal close battle.

Deep in the rain forest, a skink priest said to the blue lizard man sitting on the tyrannosaurus: "War leader, the war has reached a stalemate. If this continues, our losses will far exceed our gains."

He is an extremely strong lizard man, holding the war spear of the god Taranxra in one hand and the "Hand of the Gods" in the other. He is a lizard man riding the immortal tyrannosaurus "Quimok". He is the war leader of the Holy Council of the City of the Sun.

Sitting high on the throne, its fierce eyes are observing

The situation on the battlefield, his horns and head are decorated with gold, his eyes full of cruelty and bestiality only contain the passion for war and bloodthirsty killing intent, the golden armor can only become a decoration on his body - his

The skin is harder than the strongest steel.

Ku'ga, an ancient lizard-man, is also the last survivor of the Ashoto race of lizard-men.

When the Ancient Saints left, the portal was destroyed, and Chaos descended, Kuga and other lizardmen fought against the Chaos Demons. At first, the Lizardmen gained the advantage under the leadership of Slann, but the Chaos Demons were endless. Hundreds of years of war

Finally, the lizardman army was unable to support itself, and Ku'gar and his army were forced to retreat to the city of Shihout, relying on Slann's magic for defense.
