Chapter 648: The War Machine of the Great Battle of Nuer, a 5400-character chapter!
PS: Today’s chapter is 5,400 words long, so it’s a big one!
The gray-white prophet Drazhoth stared intently at the giant war machine rushing towards him. The leader of the Chaos Dwarfs once thought that the empire had moved its ships to land, or that Nur had dispatched steam tanks, but he soon
I soon realized that the war machine coming from the other side was a brand new invention. It was different from the steam tank. This thing was something else!
The Hell Guards are dwarfed in front of them. These big guys look a bit like naval battleships, but there is a row of huge wheels installed underneath, and there also seem to be some huge steam engines installed inside as the source of driving force. Just inside the battleship
The tail of the battleship continued to spit out black smoke, and just behind the battleship
On the boat, the notorious Mannann Blade mercenaries brandished scimitars and tridents, and each of them was equipped with long-barreled firecrackers. Under the command of their leader Blackbeard Teach, they were densely arrayed on the landspeeder.
There were about eight hundred people on the deck. The deck seemed crowded and eager to fight.
Even Drazhoth, a Chaos Dwarf, has heard of Blackbeard Teach's reputation. It is said that he is a pirate, a profit-seeker, a smuggler, and a thief who deserves to be hanged. He has spent decades
Let yourself be composed of vicious pirates and old sailors and become a force that wreaks havoc on the old world.
pirate group until they were conquered by the Grand Duke of Marienburg Van der Cooper-Schulz. Blackbeard Teach and the Blackbeard Pirates under his command accepted the recruitment and declared themselves to be the mercenary army of Marienburg.
It was renamed the Mannann Blade Mercenary Group, and the pirate ship became a privateer.
No one knows what Blackbeard Teach and Schultz talked about, but at least the notorious mercenary leader talked about the spirit of trust and contract. Due to the natural and delicate relationship between Marienburg and the empire, Mannann's Blade
Mercenary groups rarely accept employment from the empire, so nobles throughout the empire dislike them.
However, in order to protect their achievements, in order to successfully accept the land cruiser, and in order to obtain an astonishing commission from the Nuer City Council, the Marienburg Council decided to agree to Countess Emmanuel's request, that is, to
Four landships enter the battle!
The mercenaries of Mannann's Blade were indeed extraordinary as soon as they entered the battlefield. These tough mercenaries, composed of former pirates and sailor veterans, had not been to any sea area in the West? All of them had experienced hundreds of battles and had seen many battles.
Overcame high elves, defeated dark elves, and dealt with
After passing through vampire pirates and even the Tomb King fleet, facing the menacing Chaos Dwarves, Blackbeard Teach and his mercenaries did not panic at all. They each had a long-barreled firecracker and used deadly lead shot ammunition to fire in a rhythmic manner.
Sniping at the warriors of the Chaos Dwarves.
To make matters worse, Drazhoth saw that the fender was opened on the bow of the land speeder, and the black cannon muzzles were slowly being pushed out from inside.
"Get ready to meet the enemy!" The gray prophet felt bad in his heart. If he was still thinking about whether to forcefully attack the imperial army before, now he had to think about how to protect his army.
Drazhoth had just given the order to prepare the remaining six moving demon steam trains to form a fan shape to deal with the entrance of the land ship. The sound of horse hooves coming from the ground surprised the gray prophet Drazhoth.
He raised his head.
"Chaos Dwarf! I am your ancestor!!!" It was Black Heart Lepp and the Free Cavalry Regiment led by him who rushed over. This mercenary baron was exuding bloodthirsty murderous intent.
Frantically leading about a thousand free cavalry, they directly attacked the Chaos Dwarves' military formation from the side.
This is indeed a rare opportunity, because the front army of the Chaos Dwarves suffered heavy losses in the previous attack. After losing more than a thousand vanguards, Black Heart Lepp immediately captured a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He led the free cavalry from
Side punch
Facing the entire Chaos Dwarf formation, while the Chaos Dwarves were still panicking and surprised, Black Heart Lepp had already drawn the black two-handed sword behind him: "In this battle, there are no assists, it's all about the main attack! Brother
Guys, beat me hard!"
"Oh oh oh!" The free cavalry all raised their firearms. They opened fire one after another on horseback, and dense barrage blasted into the Chaos Dwarf formation. Under close range shooting,
The Chaos Dwarves were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties. This shot by the Free Cavalry achieved gratifying results, and hundreds of Chaos Dwarves fell like this.
The gray prophet felt very annoyed, so he immediately gave an order to the Chaos Dwarf army, and the most elite Purgatory guards among the Chaos Dwarf army came up.
Each of these purgatory guards wore heavy armor. They were ruthless and the core of the Chaos Dwarf army. They walked neatly and raised their flaming swords at the free cavalry led by Blackheart Lepp.
"Boom~Boom~"
The Chaos Dwarves' counterattack came much faster than expected. The devastating firepower instantly smashed many cavalrymen and horses of the entire Free Cavalry Regiment to pieces. More than two hundred cavalrymen fell off their horses, and the rest stopped moving forward. Black-hearted Lepp hurriedly
Loudly ordered the remaining cavalry
They regrouped and then raised the black two-handed swords in their hands: "Go forward, brothers! Even if there is only one of us left, we must continue to attack and charge with me! For Charlemagne and for the road to the savior.
Derwig, for the Empire!!!"
"For the Empire!" The free cavalry were inspired by Black Heart Lepp's words, and it was indeed impossible for them to reload their ammunition. The human cavalry all cut into close combat and launched an attack on the entire Chaos Dwarf army.
Charge!
"Huh, stupid!" The gray-white prophet sneered when he saw this group of humans overestimating their capabilities and launching a charge against the Chaos Dwarves' military formation.
How could the shield wall of the Sons of Hashut, an indestructible military formation composed of Chaos Dwarf warriors, be broken down by this mob? If these thousand cavalry were all official knights of the Imperial Order, it would be almost the same, but except for a few dozen
In addition to the recruited wandering knights, most of the free cavalry are composed of pistol cavalry and pioneer cavalry, as well as many mercenary cavalry. What can these people do?
"If I, Little Bird, die, I will die on the way to charge!" Just as Blackheart Lepp led a large group of cavalry close to the strong shield wall of the Chaos Dwarves, the mercenary baron suddenly shouted: "Brothers, follow me.
Come!"
After saying that, the large group of free cavalry suddenly made a turn while advancing, and then rushed straight towards the Chaos Dwarves' demonic steam train and logistical equipment. These human cavalry screamed wildly, and one by one they rushed from
He took out grenades, explosives, tinder, and even a grenade launcher!
Drazhoth: "???"
"Brothers, let go!!!" Black-hearted Rep commanded the cavalry skillfully. He took the lead in lighting the grenade in his hand and threw it towards the devil steam train.
Grenades, explosives, and grenades were all thrown into the base and body of the Devil Steam Train, as well as the supply convoy filled with weapons and ammunition, and then quickly passed by and exited the battlefield directly!
"The mission assigned to us by Duke Ryan has been completed, brothers, retreat!" Black-hearted Lepp laughed loudly, and he cut an unprepared Chaos Dwarf Demon Blacksmith into two pieces with a sword: "Chaos Dwarf! You Litbo
Grandpa De won’t play with you anymore!”
After saying that, the group of free cavalry with less than 500 riders left retreated towards the distance. Within a few seconds, three devil steam trains and more than half of the baggage in the supply convoy were blown up in the explosion.
Heaven.
"No!!!" The gray prophet watched the flames of the explosion soar into the sky. He was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe. But there was no time for him to think now. The land craft controlled by the Mannann Blade mercenary group came!
"Fire!" Blackbeard Teach stood at the bow of the ship, raising the scimitar in his hand high. Taking advantage of the internal chaos of the Chaos Dwarves and the weapon could not be loaded, Blackbeard Teach immediately ordered the land craft to fire, and the cannon on the bow of the ship was fired.
The remaining supply convoy of the Chaos Dwarves had already been noticed during the detonation of Black Heart Lepp, and the four land-ships made a thunderous sound together.
With a roar, the small weapons at various battle positions on the deck also fired round after round. A cannon shell accurately hit a pile of Chaos Dwarf mortar ammunition, and the subsequent explosion caused the entire area to change.
It was so miserable that the corpses of the Chaos dwarf artillerymen lay scattered on the ground, and the few remaining precious mortars were also blown into a pile of scrap metal.
At the same time, the cavalry of the Mannann Blade Mercenary Regiment also followed the landing ship and joined the battlefield. They were all holding firearms and wearing ivory white uniforms with black armor outside. They opened fire together. They were specifically targeting
Those Chaos Dwarf Artillery and the Goblins enslaved by the Chaos Dwarves
The slaves opened fire, killing the chaotic enemies. Their attacks completely paralyzed the remaining artillery of the Chaos Dwarves, and the Chaos Dwarves who tried to fight back were either crushed into pieces by land speeders or were killed by land ships.
The hard ram structure at the front of the boat pushed open.
At this moment, even the Chaos dwarves, who had high morale and never defeated easily, felt fear.
Damn it! We will lose if this continues! The gray-white prophet Drazhoth immediately realized that the battle situation had become unfavorable. He couldn't care so much, and immediately flew into the sky on the flaming golden bull. The gray-white prophet chanted softly
Spell, as a Chaos Dwarf Demon Warlock at the pinnacle of legend, he wants humans to understand the wrath of Hasut, the father of darkness!
Two minutes later, after reciting the incantation, the gray-white prophet raised his staff. Almost at the same time, the blazing golden bull under him also gathered all its power and spit out black flames.
"The Great Curse, the Judgment of Hasut!"
A black fire pillar more than ten meters high and five or six meters in diameter spewed out from the surface, completely covering a land-speed ship in flames. The mercenaries on top let out shrill screams and struggled in the flames.
The land craft was quickly reduced to ashes in the flames, and Drazhoth laughed several times with satisfaction.
But the sharp pain coming from the body made the gray prophet's smile immediately freeze on his face - it was the backlash of Chaos Magic. Dwarves are a race that strongly rejects the wind of magic. The result of Chaos Dwarfs forcing the use of Chaos Magic is that every time they use Chaos Magic,
With one Chaos Magic, the body will transform a little bit into real stone.
The destruction of a land speeder did not make the remaining land speeders flinch. The Mannann Blade mercenaries were a group of guys who licked blood with their swords. When they saw the brothers who had shouldered the gun together, they fell, and the rest
The mercenaries became even more crazy. They launched their land boats at full speed, causing a bloody storm everywhere they passed.
"Ugh! Where are the reinforcements! Where are the Kurgan reinforcements? We need reinforcements!" the gray prophet yelled.
At this time, there was a rapid sound of horse hoofbeats in the distance. The increasingly dense sound of hoofbeats made Drazhoth a little panicked. However, when he saw the other person clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked happy. It turned out to be a soldier under the command of the Faithless Say.
There are hundreds of Doegan cavalry.
He was about to ask these cavalry to attack the flank of the land speedboat, but as a result, this group of Daugan cavalry had no intention of joining the battle at all. They fled all the way, screaming wildly, and then quickly ran away.
"Fuck, it's so damn true!" The gray prophet then yelled, and his whole face turned pale with anger: "A bunch of trash! I really shouldn't trust this idiot Sai!"
Lu Xingzhou was currently exchanging fire with the Chaos Dwarf army. The mercenaries of Mannann's Blade faced the Chaos Dwarves' Ironsworn Guards and Purgatory Guards. These mercenaries suffered heavy casualties, but they also fought for more for Lu Xingzhou.
For a long time, the long-barreled musketeers and cannons on the land ship fired continuously, submerging the Chaos Dwarf in the gunfire and barrage.
The guards of Purgatory once boasted that the heavy armor forged by the hell furnace was enough to withstand any artillery and muskets, but under close fire, these bull-hide kings were torn into pieces by artillery and long-barreled firecrackers one after another.
, both parties are in this way
Fighting hard amidst explosions and fighting, the Chaos Dwarves' individual combat capabilities are extremely strong, but Mannann's Blade was not to be outdone when it leaned against the landing ship. The two sides fought a 50-50 situation, whether it was Blackbeard Teach or Gray White
The prophets are directing the troops to follow.
Drazhoth was still in the backlash of magic and could not release magic for the time being. He could only make a decision, which was to release the final weapon: "Give me the order! The Flame Destroyer is dispatched!"
On top of a scrapped devil steam train, a giant iron coffin was opened.
The Chaos Dwarf blacksmiths have always sought to create a fusion of metal and spirit, and through their dark forging arts and long efforts have created this half-flesh, half-fire metal monster.
One of the most successful works is called Flame Destroyer.
Its appearance is like a giant bull beast wrapped in steel. Its whole body is dark and glowing with fiery runes blended with metal. It stands seven or eight meters tall, with flowing purgatory flames all over its body. It opens its mouth, and in its mouth
Large streams of magma flowed down. One of its hands was a sharp spike, and the other hand was a cutting machine that was rotating crazily. The giant gear blade was exuding fiery heat while rotating, which was very exciting.
be terrified.
"Today is the end of Nur and these land battleships!"
When this giant beast joined the battlefield, even the Mannann Blade mercenary group screamed in horror. At this time, they finally wanted to escape in the landship, but the state of the landships was not good.
Well, after fierce battles, most of the remaining three land warships have faced the misfortune of slowing down and catching fire in many places. They have been crumbling after enduring too many attacks, and the giant steam boilers are leaking or making unpleasant noises.
.
The Flame Destroyer overcame the land-speeder's gunfire and approached the nearest land-speeder. With one move, it pierced a large hole in the land-speeder. Lava and flames spewed out of its mouth, melting the mercenaries who were desperately resisting on the ship.
It turned into a ball of debris, and the cutter in the other hand hit the middle of the hull hard. The gears rotated and sawdust flew. Finally, after a harsh sound, accompanied by a large amount of debris, the cutter cut the entire ship.
The boat was rowed in half.
Blackbeard Teach was stunned when he saw this scene, and he immediately ordered his subordinates: "Let go of the collision!"
"Let go of the ram!" the mercenaries shouted, and the heavy ram was removed from the land speeder. The land speeder led by Blackbeard Teach was still intact. By abandoning the heavy object, the land speeder was freed from the heavy burden.
, became more sensitive, so Blackbeard Teach immediately ordered: "Turn around and attack the steam boiler of the land speeder!"
The muskets and artillery fired at the same time, and a cannon shell hit the steam boiler of the dismembered land speeder. The subsequent big explosion caused the entire battleship to be swept across the entire battlefield by large and small pieces like a strong wind.
The nearly one hundred mercenaries left on the land ship were blown to pieces together with all the nearby Chaos Dwarves and the Flame Destroyer!
This big explosion seemed to shake up the entire battlefield on the left flank of the empire. At this time, two of the four landships dispatched by the empire were completely destroyed, one was seriously injured, and the other was slightly injured. Whether it was the defenders or Mannann's
The blade mercenary regiment had already suffered heavy casualties, and more than half of them had suffered heavy casualties, and the exhausted empire's left-wing army had basically lost its combat capability.
But the losses of the Chaos Dwarves were even more astonishing. Drazhoth's original army of more than 8,000 Chaos Dwarves when he went on the expedition now had less than 600 people left! Almost all the war machines were destroyed, and the Flame Destroyer, his trump card, was gone.
Got it!
Only then did Drazhoth realize that Sai's prediction might not be a joke at all. His expression changed for a few seconds before he finally made a decision.
The gray prophet's unwilling roar echoed through the sky.
"Wdnmd! Free, all free! We were sold!"
Then, the Gray Prophet issued an order to retreat. The Chaos Dwarves repaired the only two remaining demonic steam trains that could still move, and immediately retreated. The Imperial Army, which had suffered heavy casualties, was now unable to catch up.
…………I was given the dividing line for free…………
The big explosion coming from the Chaos Dwarves made Tamu Khan, who was supervising the battle, turn his head and take a look. The Faithless Sai and the Doergan tribe had failed. He was anxious and wanted to know how the battle was going with the Gray Prophet.
,
But the thick smoke blocked his sight, and then, the screams from the frontal battlefield forced Nurgle's chosen champion to turn his attention back to the imperial army's formation.
I saw the leader of the Rot Knights, Nurgle Champion Kha'Zix-Defiler, gasping in pain. Both of its arms had been severed, and a sharp blade that exuded the cold light of the Lake God and was burning with fire was piercing it.
his body.
"For the lady!" Kalad coldly pulled out the divine sword Durandal from Kha'Zix's chest, and then chopped off the Nurgle champion's head with one sword. Cheers like a roaring tsunami came from the Imperial Army.
Tamu Khan subconsciously wanted to ask who under his command wanted to dedicate the head of this Holy Grail Knight to his loving father Nurgle, but when he turned around, he found that he didn't have many people left - most of the tribal warriors.
In the midst of a bitter battle with the imperial army, Tamukhan was left with only a dozen plague ogres, a dozen chaos giants, several hundred personal guards and some Nurgle demons.
The toad dragon Pablos let out a deafening roar and took steps forward.
Nurgle's chosen champion, Tamukhan, personally leads all the remaining armies to join the battlefield!
