Chapter seven hundred and seventy-ninth deep into the enemy's nest
PS: I'm a bit stuck today, sorry for being late.
Three days later, on the fifth floor of Bafeng Mountain, an inconspicuous corner of the deep mine.
A flash of light blue light flashed.
Five people, King of Knights Ryan, King of the Eight Peaks Belegar, Light Fire Witch Veronica, Dark Elf Orica and Alaire's divinely chosen champion Aralos, appeared in a corner of this deep mine.
Although Veronica and Orika used a lot of mana in the previous Titan Gate battle, Ryan has worked hard in the past three days and finally helped Veronica and Orika replenish their mana.
, when five people appeared deep in the mine, they found that they
After arriving at a huge rock wall, the door leading to the outside had collapsed for many years. When five people appeared here, Belega checked the rune marks on the wall and nodded slowly: "Yes.
Here we are, it seems that Brother Lane’s teleportation technique is pretty accurate.”
"This is our starting point, but why choose here?" Veronica was wearing a fiery red leather coat and an elven mithril chain armor. This is the Var Anvil of the Kingdom of Caledor, a high elf.
Among the rare goods produced, Ryan originally bought five of them through his relationship with Tegris, including one for each of Veronica, Teresa, and Orika, who are not suitable for wearing heavy armor, and two sets of collectors.
In the warehouse.
Belega said: "Well, yes, this is the fifth-level mine in Bafeng Mountain. As for why we appear here, it is because this is the most dangerous place, but it is also the safest."
"The most dangerous, the safest?" Aralos's face was still a little depressed. He was hit so hard by what happened before that he was depressed and self-isolated for two days. Until two days later, Lilith was ready.
Amulet of divine power and handed it to Aralos.
According to Orica who accompanied Lilith, "This guy's face is blooming like a flower."
Sure enough! Lilith still loves me! She cares about me! Aralos put the amulet given by Lilith to his chest. He felt warm in his heart and almost shed tears.
The previous depression and decadence have been swept away, and now, the wood elf hero is once again full of fighting spirit and wants to perform well in front of Lilith.
What Alaros didn’t know was that Ryan was also reminiscing about the two days he spent with the Lake Fairy. They did a lot of things, including making pastries together, cooking together, enjoying the snow together, playing cards together, and sleeping together.
They chatted and discussed the situation together, as well as some other things. Although Lilith was not very skilled, she was very willing to learn. They also agreed to go to the King's Manor that Ryan was building in Mousilon for vacation together after the expedition, and hold a small party there.
Private wedding.
Ryan was as full of fighting spirit as Aralos, but the difference was that after more than a year, the Knight King thought that they would finally conquer the Eight Peaks Mountain.
"Huh, pointy ears, they are rare and strange, but it is normal. After all, pointy ears are a group of guys who have their hearts set in the sky." Belegar snorted coldly. The king of the Eight Peaks Mountain obviously still had a grudge against what happened before, and was just looking for Ryan's face.
After a sincere apology from Araloth, including some kind of promise from the wood elves and material assistance to Eight Peaks Mountain, Belegar finally accepted Araloth's apology.
The King of Eight Peaks Mountain just shouted verbally: "This is the location where the Skaven attacked the mine. Later, after they were repelled by the ancestors, the rune masters used runes to permanently seal this place.
This tunnel is the closest to Quirk’s lair, so it’s the most dangerous, but the Skaven have suffered heavy losses and will definitely not set up sentries here, so it’s the safest.”
"Well, very good, so how should we look for traces of Headhunter Quick." Ryan nodded, and he secretly looked out of the mine.
The King of Knights was shocked by the scenery in front of him.
What appeared in front of Ryan was a huge mine hall, hundreds of meters high and hundreds of meters wide. The entire mountain had been completely hollowed out. The dwarf's rock walls and giant statues still stood in the hall. The entire mine
There are dozens of bridges suspended in the cave hall, each bridge is hundreds of meters long, connecting the entire dwarven mine hall. The bridges are covered with minecart rails, and many of the rails are still in operation today.
The dwarves' water pumps, engineering power devices, and water-cooling devices were still operating slowly. However, what made Ryan feel uncomfortable was that in addition to the dwarves' devices, the Skaven's warpstone cables, warpstone illuminators, and various suspended wooden boards
Passages, leftover remains, and excrement have piled up all over the mine hall. These Skaven devices are like parasitic vines on big trees, filling up the dwarven buildings and roads.
"Hush!" Belega poked his head out from behind the gate. The King of the Eight Peaks Mountain pointed at the mine hall and introduced: "There used to be endless rich veins of minerals under the Eight Peaks Mountain, including the best mithril veins and the best gold.
The veins are all under Bafeng Mountain, but after thousands of years of mining, two mithril veins and three yellow veins have
The gold veins have all been exhausted, so the ancestors built this mine hall here. Based on this, they continued to explore the depths of the earth, and discovered several inexhaustible new veins in the depths.
The ore mined from the veins will be transported here via slings and mine cars and then transported upwards."
"Four thousand years ago, this was the first place to be captured by the Skaven. Five hundred dwarf miners were caught off guard. Although they fought desperately, they were still defeated by this group of Skaven." Belegar carried a gun on his back.
Rune hand crossbow, he took out a monocular telescope and confirmed the situation: "Hey, the timing is just right!"
Ryan also stuck his head out, and the five of them secretly observed from behind the mine door.
Sure enough, due to the huge losses, the number of Skaven under the headhunter Quik decreased sharply. Even in the base camp of the Moss clan, there was still chaos. There were even two small clans facing each other tit for tat. The two sides were at war with each other.
They were constantly quarreling over a little bit of leftover food, and if there hadn't been a storm rat at the scene to maintain order, there might have been a fight soon.
"Hey, we can start!" Sure enough, Alaros was the most impatient, and he began to bend his bow and arrows, preparing for war.
"Wait! Alaros, don't forget our purpose. We are here to destroy the Calamity Bell and eliminate the headhunter Quik." Ryan waved his hand to stop Alalos' eagerness to express his thoughts. He frowned: "Then,
Where are Calamity Bell and Quark the Headhunter now?"
"Hey~ha~hey~ha!" Several gray prophets are directing a large number of slave rats to form a chaotic array and pass along the long bridge. The bodies of these gray prophets are covered with festering pustules, and some are gray.
The prophets were blind, and some gray prophets were missing arms and ears. Their bodies exuded a foul and corrupt smell. Slave rats that got too close turned into a ball of rotten flesh, but they were quickly killed by others.
The slave rats swarmed up and devoured it all.
"The Plague Clan!" Belegar thought thoughtfully. The King of Eight Peaks looked at the Gray Seers and a group of slave rats from a distance: "Why did the Plague Clan appear here?"
"Follow!" Ryan thought for a few seconds and immediately motioned for everyone to follow.
Five people followed immediately.
Due to Quaker's tragic defeat, the entire mine hall was indeed very empty, and the number of guards was reduced to an all-time low. There were only a few clan rats and slave rats patrolling, and the scene was chaotic.
Ryan and others successively eliminated several waves of patrols and several groups of slave rat miners. They followed the Gray Prophets all the way. Soon, they came under a rock wall.
It was fixed with several dimensional stone chains and hung on the rock wall. The Disaster Bell burning with green flames was installed here.
Underneath the Calamity Bell, several Gray Prophets were surrounding a huge venue.
In the center of the field is the inverted triangle mark of the Horned Rat. Around it, thirteen tributes are placed. Several Gray Prophets and several Plague Rats are making preparations. The green light is spreading everywhere, and the aura of evil and destruction is spreading throughout.
Diffusing in the middle of the field, the Calamity Bell was guarded by a rat troll. The rat troll supported its arms on the ground, waiting for the orders of the Gray Prophets.
"That was Skaven's grand sacrificial ceremony." Belega looked at the venue from a distance. Under the illumination of a large number of warpstone illuminators, the entire venue was shrouded in green: "Obviously, Quik intends to use this method.
The Supreme Disaster Lord continues to come to the world... But why do people from the Plague clan appear here, and what about Quik? He didn't appear in person? "
"I heard that the Skaven have been fighting among themselves all day long." Ryan squatted next to Belegar and discussed the situation with the King of Eight Peaks: "Brother Belegar, do you think the Skaven are also fighting among themselves?"
"It's not like that." Belegar put down the monocular, and the king of the Eight Peaks Mountain considered everything: "The Skaven really like to fight among themselves, but Quik is different. Quik has always been extremely strict with his subordinates. The Moss clan
The suzerain Gnodor trusts it very much, and it is also deeply loved by the Lord of Disaster. The Lord of Disaster suppresses the Skaven absolutely. Internal strife at this time is unreasonable."
"Strange, that's why." Alaros immediately echoed: "Then what should we do now? I think we should kill them."
"Master, I listen to you." Orika covered her face with a black cloth and a cloak, only her eyes were exposed: "Kill these gray prophets first?"
Veronica also sets her sights on Ryan.
"No... no rush, let us wait." Ryan motioned for everyone to wait. The King of Knights rolled his eyes and stared at the scene of the ceremony, obviously thinking about something.
Seeing that Ryan was not moving, everyone had no choice but to wait.
After almost twenty minutes, the Gray Prophets realized that the warpstone used in the ritual was not enough, so they discussed it.
"Dimensional stone, not enough! Not enough!"
"Then take more, take more, or let the lurker kill us all!"
"Kill, kill~diedie!"
"You all go, all go!" A gray prophet at the head said: "Go get some more dimension stones, quickly!"
"Go~where?"
"That green goblin thing, it is willing to give us a little more dimension stone~ Hurry, the ceremony is almost completed!"
"Dimensional stone~yesyes!"
So three Gray Prophets left and took people to get the dimension stones, while the remaining eight Gray Prophets and Plague Rats continued the ceremony.
It can be seen that the ceremony is almost completed. In the middle of the venue, the power of the rat god is gradually coming from the realm of the horned rat to the mortal world, and the face of the horned rat is becoming more and more clear.
"It seems that the alliance between Skarsnik and Quick is still there." Belega said in a deep voice: "This is very troublesome. Now that the greenskins and ratmen have been defeated, this will definitely make the alliance between them even more serious.
close."
"Ryan, why don't we do it?!" Aralos was a little anxious. He hurriedly walked to Ryan: "Let's do it! Otherwise, it will be too late when these rats complete the ritual!"
There are only eight left? Ryan heard Aralos' words, and a very dangerous idea suddenly appeared in the mind of the King of Knights.
This idea is quite dangerous, but Ryan realizes that if it can be used well, it may be able to greatly reduce the casualties of the expeditionary army, and it can also completely destroy the alliance between the greenskins and the ratmen!
After thinking about it, Ryan finally made a decision.
"Let's get started, let's kill Calamity Bell and Headhunter Quirk without anyone noticing!" Ryan took out his war hammer: "Do it!"
"Very good! Do it!" Aralos finally got the chance to take action. The wood elf hero pulled out the quiver from behind, pulled out five arrows and hung them on the bow string, filled the bow, and released the arrow.
"Arrow of Kunos!"
The flying arrows instantly killed one Gray Seer and three Plague Monks. The remaining Skaven reacted immediately. The leader of the Gray Seers shouted: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!!"
"Flaming Skull!" A huge flaming skull appeared in Veronica's hand. The Witch of Gloria threw the entire skull out with a smile, burning a bunch of ratmen to death along the way: "Don't run away! It just wants to play with you.
A game!”
"Go! For the lady! For Brittania!" Ryan flashed directly in front of the Gray Prophet from a distance. The Knight King swung his war hammer and blasted the Gray Prophet's head into pieces on the spot: "Okay! Come on!
Let the rat tide hit you on your chest! On your chest!"
"Ratmen! See the shield wall with only one dwarf!" Belegar also rushed into the battlefield, bursts of ancestral rune ripples erupted from his body. The king of the Eight Peaks Mountain waved the holy hammer, killing the clan rats one by one.
Smash into meatloaf.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!!" The Skaven people suddenly became a mess. They rushed from all directions, but they soon dispersed because of the death of the Gray Prophet and the Plague Monk. Some clan rats wanted to go
Reporting to Quirk, how could Veronica give them such a chance, the Witch of Gloria raised the Staff of Yundini.
"Wall of Fire!"
"Firestorm!"
The road was blocked, and Araros took the opportunity to rush into the rat tide and slaughter them. The remaining Skaven could only end up being annihilated.
"Ho~ho!!!" The rat troll who was protecting the Calamity Bell immediately rang the big bell upon seeing this. The piercing sound of the bell was enough to make any approaching powerful enemy dizzy or even kill him on the spot, but the Fairy in the Lake
They had already considered this, and all five of them wore amulets of the Lake God on their bodies. Although they felt a little uncomfortable, none of them were affected by the sound of the bell.
"Shadow~coming!" The rat troll was about to rush forward to fight Ryan. Orika suddenly appeared above the rat troll in the shadow. The dark elf smiled ferociously, and two butterfly daggers shot directly from the rat troll's forehead.
Penetrating, the rat troll twitched a few times on the spot,
Immediately his eyes turned white, the dark elf took out his butterfly dagger, placed the high-heeled boots a little above the mouse troll's shoulders, and Olika landed next to Ryan like a dancing butterfly.
, rolled up the dagger and slaughtered the Skaven with him.
Ten minutes later, on top of the large corpses, all the Skaven in the entire ritual venue had been wiped out.
The five people worked together to destroy the Calamity Bell and smashed the Skaven artifact into a ball of scrap metal. Then Belegar planned to destroy the scene of the ritual ceremony: "Brother Ryan, this thing is almost completed, but it is worth millions of dollars."
We can’t stay, come on, let’s destroy it together.”
"I'll do it, you guys go out first." At this moment, Ryan motioned for them to go out first: "Destroying the whole ceremony will cause a big impact, I will do it."
"Then, okay." Everyone left without doubting that it was there. Only Aralos felt a little strange. He looked back secretly and saw that Ryan seemed to be destroying the ceremony. The wood elf hero turned around.
Seeing that everyone had left, Ryan stood inside the ceremony site, and the Gray Knight Primarch showed a terrifying smile.
Because the entire ceremony site was covered with the blood and corpses of the Skaven.
The king walked to the center of the magic circle with a smirk. He took out five of the thirteen tributes and burned them to ashes with psychic energy. Then he took the ratman dimensional stone cutting pen and made a few changes in several key positions of the ritual magic circle.
For example, the inverted triangle holy emblem was painted out and changed into an eight-pillar holy emblem, and then a little spiritual energy was injected into it to activate the magic circle.
Seeing that the magic circle was already in operation, Ryan quickly left the place.
"Hehehehe~ This way, we can make that guy appear."
