The key point of Skaven's blitzkrieg is not to take them by surprise, or that's not all.
The real most powerful part of the Skaven Blitzkrieg is to make full use of the Skaven's powerful advantages in numbers, technology, and artillery, relying on the various modified creatures of the Mord clan and the various powerful plagues of the Pestilen clan to suddenly
Attack the enemy to win.
The first is the assassination of the Essien clan. Before the war begins, the assassins of the Essien clan will first assassinate the enemy's headquarters and paralyze its leader. Then the Scully family's various heavy firepower will attack military camps and important war facilities.
Concentrated attack.
Blitzkrieg is a surprise attack. The rapid attacks combined together will hit the enemy like lightning! It can cause the enemy to lose morale under the sudden threat, so that it will collapse immediately under the first huge blow!
After careful analysis, Fulgrim found that almost all of the Skaven's tactics were like this. Under the blitzkrieg attack, they were almost invincible.
But who is Fulgrim? The Emperor's Children Legion itself is one of the very few legions specifically programmed to cooperate with the Imperial Guard. He himself is also a master of strategy and tactics, and has fought with Horus all year round. Fulgrim has studied a lot
Quickly discover, Blitzkrieg also has its weaknesses.
First of all, although the Skaven's large number of rats is an advantage, it is also a disadvantage. When the rats swarm forward, their morale is high and they are not afraid of death. The bonus of the plague also allows the Skaven to fight to the death, but as time goes by
As time goes by, the fanaticism will gradually dissipate, and the plague bonus will also weaken. If the Skaven offensive cannot be defeated at its peak, it will fail later.
Such as the Black Death War in the old world, the long invasion of Lustria, and the several sieges of dwarf fortresses.
Furthermore, the blitzkrieg is afraid of more powerful counterattacks coming from the flanks.
Now, the Skaven have encountered this scene. When they broke through eight lizardmen defense lines in a row and pushed the battle line under the Great Pyramid of the City of the Moon, they were met by the Emperor's Children headed by Fulgrim.
A head-on attack by the Phoenix Guards, led by Pilazzo and Julius
The Phoenix Guards rushed into the plague monks, just like tigers entering the flock of sheep. They were short and crazy. They were the first to kill the plague monks just because of their pure fanaticism. The plague censer was smashed to pieces, and the plague flag was trampled to the ground. Those
The Rat Troll and Storm Troll were picked up by the Phoenix Guards with their spears and chopped into pieces with their swords.
A row of people, several hundred meters away, the Phoenix Guards single-handedly stopped the Demon Rat Vanguard. In this flesh-and-blood millstone, under the command of the original body, no matter what they came from, they were slave rats, clan rats, and storm rats.
Or the plague monks, even the Skaven behemoths, wipe them all out!
Suddenly, flesh and blood flew everywhere, corpses were scattered all over the sky, and the Skaven offensive was quickly contained.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
The storm rats collided with the lizard warriors.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
The Rat Troll swung his fist and smashed the Cold Lizard Knight into the ground.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
The Silver Bullet Musketeers fired a volley, tearing apart the Poison Wind Mortar team from the side.
Master Jin recited the ancient contract, the great elemental lord Fire Demon and the Abomination of the Pit fell together, the dimensional stone impact drill drilled through the breastplate of the Fire Demon King, and the flame hammer smashed the plague incense burner.
Venom flows.
kill!
The tall warriors of the Phoenix Guard were knocked away by the mutant rats, and the warpstone blades coated with plague poison cut through their plate armor. The Phoenix Guards immediately retaliated, splitting the mutant giants with their halberds.
Rat chest.
The storm of flesh and blood mixed together. The lizardmen army of the Moon City received this strong support and began to be caught off guard by the blitzkrieg. The skink priests could not seek the enlightenment of the demon toad, but they still had their own role.
, despite being very distressed about the city buildings, the Skink Priests summoned meteorites to smash the rat siege towers, warpstone lightning cannons, and plague trebuchets, along with the buildings left behind by the ancient saints.
Skaven's blitzkrieg is in trouble.
But no matter what, there are only over a hundred Phoenix Guards and tens of thousands of rat-men. These powerful warriors are unable to defeat a hundred rats with just one fist. When the number of rat-men is too large for the Phoenix Guards to kill, all the rat-men in front of them will be killed.
When his vision was completely covered, Fulgan could only order to fight and retreat.
The Emperor's Children Primarch has been searching for the leader of the Skaven.
The leaders of the Skaven army must be killed, otherwise they will be piled alive by the enemy.
In fact, the Ash Legion was also a little confused. The real large forces were still landing on the north shore. Fulgrim personally wielded the Spear of Sotek and the Blade of the Phoenix, sweeping across the battlefield. An entire Skaven Plague Monk Legion was on Fulgrim's side.
They were all wiped out in the lightning and flames, but the enemy leader was still invisible.
At this time, Fulgrim received a call from a Skink Priest.
"Son of the Ancient Sage, hurry, we need your help!"
"What help!"
"The Great Pyramid of Kuiti has been attacked by the enemy! All Slann priests are fighting against the coming of the evil moon. We cannot lose all the venerables in the Great Pyramid, otherwise everything will fail!"
Fulgrim's expression changed slightly. Of course, the Emperor's Son Primarch saw the extremely dangerous evil moon falling from the sky. He followed the coordinates given by the Skink Priest and looked at the Great Pyramid of Kuiti, the City of the Moon in the distance.
All the magic toad priests are gathering there. With them as the center, the surrounding pyramid spiers all shoot out light that reaches the sky, bombarding the surface of the evil moon. The shield of the ancient saint that was supposed to protect the Great Pyramid lacks the magic toad's power.
Maintenance is currently closed.
In the City of the Moon, there are bloody battles everywhere.
The wide avenues and squares between the pyramids were filled with fierce battles between rat men and lizard men, and teams after teams of support troops were rushing to the front line to fill the gaps in the defensive front.
The person who was talking to Fulgrim was the legendary hero of the Lizardmen, the Skink Priest Teto-Ekko. The appearance of this Skink Priest on the battlefield foreshadowed the importance of the battle. In the trajectory of the stars, it saw the influence of Luski.
It makes a favorable choice, and the wisps of fortune leaked from the destiny track are sensitively felt by it and turned into incredible power to reverse destiny.
Thanks to its prophecies, Lustria has escaped many terrible disasters caused by ratmen. It uses its ability to predict the enemy's direction before it has planned it. It is also the only non-human being allowed to ride on the Golden Holy Seat.
Slann Priest.
Teto-Ek is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot at this time, because there will not be any magic toad priests to help them in this war. The most powerful second-generation magic toad Tehujia in the Moon City
All the lord's energy is focused on fighting against Evil Moon.
The lizardmen must rely on themselves. It is naturally Teto-Ek's responsibility to protect the countless heritage bones. In addition, he also needs to protect the spawning pools that cannot be replaced by other things. There is also one primary goal: protection.
Since the living magic toad mages cannot foresee the future and determine the next plan, it is almost impossible for Teto-Ek to escape and can only defend as much as possible.
While Tetoac ordered the deployment of the temple guard army and the elite Holy Hatch Legion to support various places, he ordered the Triceratops and Ankylosaurus to support the skink residential areas and western temples that had been ravaged by the ratmen. After several hours of fierce fighting,
, the endless army of ratmen has submerged half of the city. Tetoac cannot awaken and support Slann's war, but it can at least call Fulgrim.
The battle line is approaching the Great Pyramid. If the Skaven are allowed to rush in, everything will be over!
Amidst the huge and resonant roar of the beast and the loud and passionate chants of the Skaven, Fulgrim still keenly captured Teto-Ekko's communication. The Primarch of the Emperor's Son roared: "When will the Demon Toad be able to
Finish?"
"It's not that easy!" Tetoac shouted: "Son of the Ancient Saint, tell your people to withdraw immediately and retreat to the Great Pyramid!"
"In that case, we are passively defending and will be defeated sooner or later!"
"I need you to buy me some time!"
Fulgan hesitated for a moment, but immediately agreed: "Okay!"
The Phoenix Guards retreated under Fulgrim's order, and on the other side, Master Jin also ordered to retreat.
The Ash Legion's surprise attack bought a lot of time for the defense of Moon City. When they retreated, more Saurus Legions and Skink Legions took their previous positions.
After fighting a bloody path, Fulgrim led the Phoenix Guards to retreat to Sotek's altar in front of the Great Pyramid. The surroundings were filled with blood sacrifices. Fulgrim could feel that Sotek's war spear was spitting out bloodthirsty murderous intent. He saw
When he arrived at Tetoac who was sitting on the golden throne: "Can you help me find the location of the rat leader?"
"Yes, it just takes some time." Tetoac said calmly, and the Skink Priest immediately raised his star rod, which had a mysterious orrery on the top: "Before that, guard the pyramid!"
"no problem."
At present, Fulgrim has no other way to quickly contact other temple cities. The pterosaur messengers have been sent out a long time ago, but there is no way of knowing whether they have reached their destination. As for whether other cities have been attacked by ratmen or evil moon
It was completely unknown that it was damaged due to the impact of debris. As time went by, the battle situation became worse and worse.
However, the Skaven offensive was always blocked. Fulgrim stood alone in front of the Gate of Heaven. The Emperor's Son, the Primarch, seemed to be going crazy and repelled the attack of three Plague Monk Legions. When he saw the Primarch
With such bravery, the morale of the Phoenix Guards was high. Pirazzo single-handedly chopped down six Skaven captains, and Julius cut two plague priests carrying plague censers into two pieces.
"How is it? Do I feel a little bit like Sanguinius now?" After piercing the spear of Sotek into the back of a storm troll from behind, Fulgrim did not forget to stroke his gorgeous silver hair and moved towards
Julius showed off.
"It's much worse." Julius said with a dark face: "Why don't you defeat a red sand angel first to add to the fun?"
"..." Fulgan immediately turned around, he seemed angry.
On the other side, Master Jin's troops also firmly guarded the incubation pool. Under the protection of Yenicheri, Master Jin recited a taboo spell in the history of Arabi. Behind him, the king of elements, Huang
The barbarian lord Kalimos successfully descended into the mortal world.
The fusion of the four elements of wind, fire, water, and earth, this is the strongest king of elements that Master Jin can summon! Even Master Jin himself did not expect that one day he would be able to successfully summon it.
"Elements, merge into one!" Kalimos' body is dozens of meters tall, and it responded to the call of the Golden Mage.
"Curse of Earth!" A hundred powerful giant statues of the earth element rose from the ground and blocked the road.
"Curse of Water!" The healing rain washed over mortals, washing away the plague.
"Curse of Fire!" Six flaming meteors fell, and a storm of flames burned through the Skaven military formation in the City of the Moon.
"Curse of the Wind!" Lightning Storm, Skaven Engineers, Ratlin Squadron, and Poison Wind Orb Bombardiers exploded in the ranks, blowing up the war equipment made by the Skryre family to pieces.
Colchis-The Glutton, the High Steward of the Skaven Moon City Marching Road, the youngest and most radical assistant to the leader of the Plague Clan, began to feel that something was wrong.
This war has lasted for nearly eighteen hours, and they still did not go as planned to break through the City of the Moon, massacre all the Slann in the pyramid, and conquer the hatching pool so that all the mice could have a feast. Instead, they remained in a stalemate.
It has noticed that the slave rats and clan rats are beginning to show signs of exhaustion, and many slave rats are already foaming at the mouth - no matter how strong or crazy the rats are, even if they have the strongest plague blessing, they will not be able to survive.
May keep fighting forever.
The plague monks are still powerful, their skin becomes as tough as leather due to the power of corruption, and their fanatical belief in the plague is even more powerful. When the violent energy flows through the plague monks, they gain more powerful protective power.
They no longer care about the lizardmen's various fatal blows. Even when they are impaled, their hands and feet are chopped off, and their internal organs are taken out, the plague monks still maintain their violent attacks.
They were only one step away from breaking through the Great Pyramid. Even the Holy Guards were no match for the Plague Monks, but that human - Colchis didn't know if he was a human. He was so perverted that he fought for several hours.
, Colchis has lost eight plague legions under his hands, Colchis-Glutton knows very well that if it cannot complete its goal of destroying the City of the Moon, then this will be its last
After a battle, Sect Leader Negrich will make it understand what life is worse than death.
Colchis is ready to join the fight, wielding the three-headed plague censer and hammer, and praying to the Horned Rat for blessings.
On the other side, the Skink Priest Tetoac had entered the huge wind of magic, looking for something in the sky that his spiritual power could lock onto.
It uttered a series of syllables in its mouth, which was the language of the ancient saint that even the Skink Priest could not understand. Through this recitation, it completed some kind of mysterious ritual.
The power of the Skink Priest now roams the cosmic firmament until it finds its prophesied target.
A ray of starlight burst out from the clouds, aiming at Colchis the Glutton, who was hiding among the large group of plague monks, and illuminated it.
Ko~ko~da~yo~
"I have marked the enemy, the son of the ancient saint!" The Skink Priest immediately signaled to Fulgrim.
"Very good." Fulgrim laughed ferociously. He lowered his body, held Sotek's war spear in one hand, and stared at the target with both eyes.
Full power! The original body's body was shot out like a cannonball!
Five hundred meters away, in an instant, a light wave of concentrated energy tore a huge gap in the Skaven army formation, followed by Fulgrim's scream, and the original body's scream that penetrated the meninges.
The Phoenix Guards were in high spirits, and all the Skaven who heard his magical voice only felt a splitting headache. They couldn't help but bleed from the mouth and nose on the spot. If they got a little closer, their heads would explode, and their brains would scatter everywhere.
The power released by the Emperor's Son Primarch exploded continuously. A golden flash passed through a distance of five hundred meters in a straight line from the center of the pyramid, melting everything it touched, and the roaring flames destroyed every Skaven.
People, slime and filth peeled off between the cracks in the rocks and turned into nothingness. The cursed rat-man battle flag exploded, and the war machines soaked in the plague turned into dust and smoke and drifted away in the wind, leaving only a trail on the ground.
Melting straight cracks.
"Huh?" Colchis had just noticed that something was coming, and he had just thought to himself, "The big one is coming." The Sotek spear had penetrated its body, from its chest to its back.
"?" At this moment, Colchis still didn't understand what happened.
"I found you~" Fulgrim's unparalleled handsome face appeared in front of Colchis. The original body grasped the gun barrel tightly, kicked off his legs, and flew up with the Grand Steward of the March Road to the City of the Moon, Skaven.
It reached the horizon and turned into a point of light ascending into the sky.
Everyone and the rat were stunned when they saw this scene.
Five seconds later, a shining light filled the sky, and a powerful shock wave crashed down, blowing away all the Skaven near the impact point. Fulgrim was seen stepping on Colchis' body.
Sotek's war spear penetrated deeply into the Skaven Warlord, and the Plague Lord's body penetrated into the ground.
Colchis's body was trembling violently. The Plague Lord reached out and grasped the barrel of Sotek's war spear, thinking that I could still save him.
Fulgrim's face looks ugly. He's not dead yet?
never mind.
The Emperor's Sons Primarch screamed again, and the shock wave swept across. The plague monks and Stormvermin legions who were trying to rescue him either had their heads exploded on the spot or were bleeding from their mouths and noses and were dizzy. The Primarch's whole body burned with Phoenix fire, six handfuls.
The burning flying sword separated from the flames under Fulgen's exquisite control.
"Cut~"
With a command, six psychic fire swords fell together and pierced the heart of the Plague Lord. Its filthy body was burned into white smoke in the fire of the phoenix within a few seconds.
Colchis, the High Steward of the Skaven Moon City Marching Road, the Great Warlord, and the Plague Lord, died in this battle.
Seeing that their leader was killed by a being of this level, the morale of the Skaven army immediately collapsed. No matter how hard the rats charged before, they could now escape in large pieces.
The City of the Moon was defended.
The final decisive battle between the lizards and the Skaven also began with the victory in the defense of the City of the Moon.
