After that, Duanmuhuai came to the main camp outside the city of Mordheim - judging from the atmosphere of this camp, there used to be a lot of people here, but now it is desolate, although it is not

There are no soldiers, but you can tell without asking much that the morale here is obviously not very high.

As a war group, Duanmuhuai got a camp as a supply location. Of course, strictly speaking, this thing was of little use to them. Because Duanmuhuai could open the door and return to the Holy City at any time, and then enjoy delicious food there.

and soft beds instead of starving and freezing here.

However, before everyone could take a good rest in the camp, the messenger called Duanmu Huai to the camp to start the next step of attack planning.

"Okay, I know you have a lot to complain about, and so do I."

General Pastor Roland was blowing his beard, and his thin face looked extremely gloomy. I don't know if it was because of the weather or his mood.

"But orders have been issued from above. His Majesty the Emperor is very, very, very dissatisfied with our progress. So he sent me another army. Next, we will learn from the mistakes of the last operation and rearrange the plan!!

"

Amidst the noisy complaints from others, Duanmu Huai finally figured out the cause and effect of the matter.

It turned out that the first operation to recapture the city of Mordheim failed completely, partly because they were really not prepared, and partly because of the problem of the generals. The person in charge of leading the army at that time was an aristocratic faction who was close to the eldest prince, and

The arrogance in his bones obviously did not make this guy take the recovery of such a dilapidated city seriously. So the orders given by this simple-minded man were also very simple.

Directly march in with the army and completely occupy the entire city.

Then it's over.

Because they spread the army too far in one go, they were soon attacked. As mentioned before, the city of Mordheim was filled with ratmen, various heretical believers, as well as vampires and undead.

Foreign races, including mages. These guys took advantage of the army before it had time to gain a firm foothold, and directly launched a surprise attack, completely dividing the entire army.

Under this situation, the imperial army could do nothing at all, not to mention that the eldest prince sent here only a reserve army. He had never seen such a terrifying and evil formation, so the imperial army that was fighting on its own collapsed directly.

Most of them were eliminated on the spot, and only a handful of people cooperated with the mercenaries and escaped.

Fortunately, the nobleman with a short-circuited brain also died among them. As for who did it - well, let's just think that he died in battle unfortunately.

This is good for everyone.

Those here now, in addition to mercenary groups like Duanmuhuai, are members of some organizations within the empire. For example, the battle priests and Templars from the Church of Sigmar, witch hunters, and those from the Church of Ulric

Wolf Spirit Priest. The rest are the people of the imperial army. General Paster talked a lot. In the final analysis, the general idea is that we must learn from the last pig's sudden advance, and this time we must fight steadily. So you guys

The war group must charge forward and fight with the enemy as much as possible. They will divide each area into battlefields and hand them over to different war groups. Then, after the war group stabilizes the front line, the army will move in.

"Steady" cannibalization and construction starting from the rear.

After all, in urban street fighting like Mordheim, the army's numerical advantage is basically unable to be used. It is better to rely on a small number of elites to achieve the goal more easily.

No one objects to this. After all, the people here are mercenaries who are paid to do things, and they still know what to do.

But then there was trouble.

When General Pastor said that he had contacted the Sisters in the city and would get their assistance, representatives of the Sigma Church immediately jumped up and loudly expressed their opposition.

The reason for the Church of Sigmar is very speechless - the Sisters are a church organization in the city of Mordheim that also believes in Sigma. Perhaps because of the blessing of Sigmar, the Sisters suffered the least damage from the twin-tailed comet disaster. However,

This actually made the Church of Sigmar consider the Sisters to be heretics and demanded that they be exterminated...

Well, to put it bluntly, he thinks that the other party is a heretic just because he has not suffered any punishment... Duanmu Huai also doesn't understand how the stupid logic of the Sigma Church came about.

Fortunately, General Pastor is very insistent in this regard. They now have no extra troops to recapture Mordheim, so they need a large number of reinforcements. As believers of Sigmar and local residents, the Sisters have a strong influence on Mordheim.

We are familiar with each other and have decent political loyalty. As for the internal affairs of your church, they are your internal affairs. The fact is that we are not in a position to be picky now, so cooperation with the Sisters is a must.

In the end, the representative of the Church of Sigmar was so angry that he walked away. Although the others present did not speak, looking at their expressions... they were obviously helpless about this.

However, the combat meeting still had to continue. In the following meeting, General Pastor also assigned respective tasks to the war groups.

From the map, Mordheim is an oval-shaped city surrounded by walls, divided into east and west parts by a river in the middle - well, it's almost like a butt.

Among them, the northeast is the market area, the southeast is the slum area, the northwest is the aristocratic area, and the southwest is the military area.

The east and west areas are connected by bridges, and overall, it is a closed city.

The place where the twin-tailed comet fell is the slums, which is also the most dangerous place in the entire Mordheim area. It is full of all kinds of twisted creatures and is impossible to get close to. But this does not mean that other places are safe...

…

"Your mission is very simple."

Pointing to the map in front of him, Pastor shouted loudly.

"You have to enter through the gap in the east wall and recapture the Temple of Sigmar and the City Hall, and then the Market Square! Open a passage for the follow-up troops! Remember, eliminate all threats, including those monsters hidden in the ruins, the followers of the evil god are still

There are messy things like vampires! Over there, the Sisters, they will send a team of battle nuns to work with you to get rid of the evil curse of the Temple of Sigmar! Then, the war group whose name is read next will participate in this battle

!”

As he spoke, Pastor picked up the list.

"Imperial Eagle, Black Talon and..."

Having said this, Pastor looked at the list and suddenly paused. He stared at the parchment in his hand carefully, as if there were flowers on it.

"...Pink Bunny?? Who is Pink Bunny??"

"it's me."

Duanmu Huai stood up, and when he saw Duanmu Huai, Pastor opened his mouth, looked at the list, and then looked at the burly and huge armored warrior in front of him...

"It's just you! Do a good job!!"

In the end, Pastor said nothing, maybe he didn't know what to say.

After the meeting ended, the three groups whose names were called immediately gathered together.

The Imperial Eagle is a battle group composed of imperial mercenaries, most of whom are warriors. The Black Talon is a team led by witch hunters. In addition to the witch hunters, there are

Clergy from the Church of Ulric and the Church of Sigmar.

But no matter what, these people look like veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time. With their imposing manner and attire, they look like a capable battle group.

On the contrary, it was the four beautiful girls behind Duanmu Huai wearing light and fluttering clothes - well, to be honest, they didn't look like they were here to fight at all.

"Hey, brother, it's up to us to get closer to each other."

The captain of the Imperial Eagle was a very cheerful and outgoing mercenary. He greeted Duanmuhuai with a smile, and Duanmuhuai waved his hand in response. As for the witch hunter next to him, he remained silent and silent.

stood there like a shadow.

"Then, let's start taking action."

Everyone is professional, there is no need for small talk, and there is no sarcasm before starting the action - everyone knows that this is a dangerous mission, either complete it or die. So at this time, it is nonsense

The whole story is meaningless. Carrying weapons on their backs, they silently passed through the cracks in the city wall and entered Mordheim.

This cursed city.

Just stepping into it, a gray sense of depression rushed towards him. Duanmuhuai raised his head and looked in front of him. Everything here seemed dilapidated at the moment. The whole city was in pieces, and almost all the houses were dilapidated. Even

Can't see what a complete house looks like.

Not only that, on the ground and walls, you can also see things that look like pieces of rotten meat covering them, and there are even eyes moving left and right in the middle of the pieces of meat.

"Maybe some of you are here for the first time, so I want to remind you first."

The captain of the Imperial Eagle turned his head, looked at the others, and whispered with a serious expression.

"Don't underestimate this city, anything here may kill you..."

As he spoke, he pointed at the things on the ground that looked like pieces of rotting meat.

"For example, don't step on these things, and don't get too close to them. They will spit disgusting and ugly poisonous mist at you, turning you into a mentally disturbed idiot. And those wooden boards...

…”

As he spoke, he raised the long sword in his hand again and pointed at the broken wooden board placed next to a carriage in front of the road. From the surface, it seemed to be just a wooden board that was tilted there and looked a bit tattered... There was nothing on it.

If it's a strange text, then it doesn't seem to be very eye-catching.

"That's a rat trap. If you accidentally trigger it, you can only hope that you are lucky - after all, rat people are not kind things."

"...Excuse me, what are these?"

Looking at those ugly creatures covering the walls and hanging under the eaves, Lorena asked in a low voice, while the Imperial Captain shook his head.

"I don't know either. All in all, it seems that they were originally the corpses of the residents of this city. Under the influence of the power of chaos, they turned into this ghostly appearance. As for what they are now... I'm afraid even they themselves don't know. .”

"……………………"

This time, no one spoke, but looking at everyone, the Imperial Captain smiled slightly and opened his hands.
Chapter completed!
