Carter turned his gaze to the last man.

He didn't know what he was thinking while staring at him. After a long time, he spoke with difficulty and said in a hoarse voice:

"So everything I've been through is fake? My wife, my child, everything I've been through is fake?"

He raised his head, his eyes were red and his voice was choked with sobs, he suppressed his emotions and asked.

"As long as you don't think it's fake, no one can deny that your experience is fake"

Hearing Carter's interpretation, he just nodded dumbly, lowered his head and let the tears he was trying to hold back fall to the ground.

"I promise to take good care of your souls and find your family!"

After Carter finished his last sentence, the whole world stopped in the next moment.

In reality, the bodies of the three people desecrated by Nurgle believers died quickly under Carter's decisive and quick methods.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground with a staff in hand, the experienced mage immediately recited the spell, using the wind of magic to draw out the peaceful souls of the three and save them in a special crystal.

"I'm tired"

Carter, who nodded his thanks to them, followed them out of the mansion, turned around and took one last look at the three men's sewn together flesh.

"Ah Fu, help me burn this place to ashes, then collect some ashes and fill three urns for me"

"Ugh."

Seeing Carter with a serious expression, Astolfo, as his deputy, immediately agreed.

"There is also the need to speed up the removal of the remaining Nurgle believers in the city. It must be resolved within tonight. According to new information, there are far more Nurgle believers in this town. More than 5000 Nurgle believers have gone out to cause harm. Everything in nature on this land is expected to return tomorrow, this is our chance to lay an ambush!"

"Okay, I'll deliver the order right away."

Carter learned about the situation of the Nurgle believers in this town by restoring the souls and memories of the three who were poisoned by Nurgle believers. Those who stayed in the town were only part of their legion, and there were more than 5000 people wandering outside, trying to Capture more lonely elves or living creatures for rituals and research, tomorrow is the day they come back.

Chapter 137 No chance of reconciliation

In the evening, under the guidance of Carter's round eyes, the last Nurgle believer in the town was found and hanged. After paying the price of more than 30 casualties, the Skyhawk Squadron took down this small town blocking the only way.

Since nearly [-] Nurgle believers in the town left the city to sweep up the surrounding land and would return the next day, Carter had to kill them all in order to protect the first node and supply station of this safe corridor.In the eyes of Carter, the most threatening of the four gods is Nurgle and its believers. Plague warfare and germ warfare are the most lethal combat methods. It is still unavoidable to avoid the phenomenon of large-scale recruitment.

The first thing to do after taking down this town is to burn all the corpses and objects that may contain the virus. The whole town was almost burned, and there was a scene of smog everywhere.

From the former Eagle Legion to the current Skyhawk Brigade commanded by Carter alone, with their victory in the battle, the scenes that they will encounter afterwards are the burning fire and the burning corpses, people who don't know the situation; this If you watch this scene too much, you might think that the elves are the evil army.

But this is also a helpless thing. Chaos believers will be contaminated with chaos erosion wherever they pass. It is a means of erosion that can infect everything in the world, including the corpses of dead chaos believers will also become accomplices in promoting erosion.Only fire is the best way to eliminate erosion, and it is also the most convenient and cheapest method.

"Captain Carter, there is indeed the strange reaction you mentioned in this river. The rabbits that drank the raw river water are now foaming at the mouth, their limbs are atrophied, and they are about to die. As for the rabbits that drank the boiled river water ;Although the spirit is not good, but there is no life-threatening phenomenon... the rivers near here are probably poisoned."

As the most knowledgeable and inquisitive mage among all the elves, Carter assigned an important task, which is to test whether there are any germs in the nearby river that can be cited by Nurgle believers, and the test results submitted to Carter are obvious. , Yes, and it is a powerful virus with outstanding effects.

"Record my request, and send a communication eagle to tell the Aris Legion Commander in Tal-Drowder City about this discovery: Nurgle believers have polluted the river with water, and we need priests who can purify the magic to clean up this polluted river, Otherwise, the corridor plan will not start and we will not be able to replenish the water source. If possible, it is best to ask the priest to come quickly on a giant eagle."

Astolfo, the deputy on the side, nodded immediately, quickly recorded it on paper, and put it in an envelope and stamped it with wax after writing.

After sending away the mage, Carter issued several orders one after another:

The first is to bury pots and make meals in advance to replenish energy for the exhausted soldiers, and at the same time build a camp in a safe place outside the city, so that the soldiers of the Sky Eagle Brigade can go to rest in an organized way.

As soon as they learned that a 5000-strong Nurgle troop was coming back, they dispatched several clones to look for their traces and places suitable for ambush, so the soldiers of the Skyhawk brigade were ready to go at any time , is a very necessary thing, as soon as you find a suitable opportunity, start immediately.

..................................................................................................................

Since the separated clones did not get too much Chakra, their combat effectiveness is not outstanding, but thanks to the particularity of Chakra, they can pass through various terrains without being hindered, whether it is a cliff or a complex. The terrain can be easily traversed as if walking on flat ground.

After seventy to eighty kilometers into the wilderness, he finally made one of Carter's clones. The blind cat met a large army of Nurgle believers like a dead mouse. It's not that he didn't encounter Chaos believers along the way, but neither the number nor the composition were right. It wasn't until one or two o'clock in the morning that he saw the torches all over the mountains and the rotting stench coming in his face, that he finally met the real master.

Carter himself, who was dozens of kilometers away, was sitting cross-legged on the ground and refining chakra as always. With the memory passed back from his avatar, his closed eyes immediately opened, and a scarlet flash flashed in the dark environment: "Found the chakra!" Already!"

The troops who had rested early woke up from deep sleep quickly under Carter's call. It only took a few minutes for the transition from silence to busy rate, and it only took half an hour to complete all the preparations.

Half an hour later, more than 3000 members of the Skyhawk Brigade lined up neatly with their equipment, and stood in the open space with a torch in hand, waiting for Carter's order.

"I believe that what happened in the courtyard today, even if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, you have already heard about it. The innocent Azul was cruelly treated as an experiment by these fallen people, and he spent a long time living like death. For a while... There is no reconciliation between us and Chaos and their lackeys! Only their deaths can avenge the death of thousands of Asur!

Those worshipers of Nurgle who dared to desecrate our fellow men, and the remnants of their accomplices, must die!

Therefore I command:

I will lead everyone to set off overnight, arrive at the ambush site before dawn, and give these plague sons a surprise!

Set off! "

The only reply to Carter's speech was silence and the dazzling gaze that could be seen even in the dark night, and the hatred/killing intent contained in it could be felt even if it was more than ten meters away.

In addition to the sound of footsteps in this world, there is only the "sizzling" sound of burning torches.

Since it was an ambush, everyone in the Skyhawk Brigade set off except for some of the wounded who were concealed and hid in place.

It is not easy to operate overnight in the wilderness with low visibility. However, with Carter leading the way, the troops successfully avoided all unfavorable terrain. Finally, after several hours of galloping, the star came to 40 before dawn. An ambush site many kilometers away.

The terrain of Nagareth is much more complicated than the plains of the Inner Ring Kingdom. There are various hills covered with trees and grass everywhere. It is quite easy to ambush the enemy.

Along the way, they did encounter a few small chaotic gangs who came from the latent period, trying to surprise the sudden Skyhawk brigade. Unfortunately, they were more conspicuous than torches in Carter's eyes. Very sensitive, even Chaos believers who are different from normal creatures after being corrupted can't escape his eyes.

After easily strangling more than 200 Khorne believers as an appetizer, the Skyhawk Brigade, which has less than 3000 people, successfully ambushed on the only way for Nurgle believers to pass.

Ambushes are not meant to be a pleasant thing. Whether it is flies, mosquitoes, snakes, rats or reptiles, they are constantly harassing the soldiers of the Skyhawk Brigade, not to mention those soldiers hiding in the bushes, even wearing a full set of armor. The branch punctured his hands and feet full of small wounds.

However, the emotion of vengeance and the tension before the battle made them endure and ignore all of this.

…………

In the early hours of the morning, Nurgle believers who didn't really need sleep but were unwilling to march in the dark started their pace again.

In the huge team of more than 5000 people, most of them are the "Sons of the End of the Plague" formed after the fall and mutation of the barbarians. Their basic appearance is not much different from that of the Chaos Warriors. The characteristics of the 'mobile virus hotbed', in addition, there are even a few ugly monsters in the middle of the team that I don't know how to describe. They seem to be enlarged versions of the moving field with two legs and the top 'mouthparts 'It has dozens of sharp teeth, constantly chewing on the side of the road, and the hard stones are easily crushed and swallowed by them like cotton candy.

In addition, there are even a few smaller versions of the "Great Unclean", but at a glance, Carter can see that they are not the real Nurgle, they just look very similar, and the actual strength remains to be seen .

The rest of the Beastmen of Nurgle have nothing to talk about. Although they account for more than half of the team, they are also the lowest.The body is covered with mutated abscesses and limbs of unknown meaning, which only gives people a disgusting and weird feeling.

They slowly approached the ambush circle in such a chaotic manner.

Chapter 138 Artillery Attack

As a loyal believer and beloved son of a loving father, Rist has made great achievements in the road of Nurgle, and even his mutated body is very similar to the "Great Unclean One", the apostle of Nurgle seen in his dream , which cleared the way for it to control a legion of Nurgle believers, and at the same time became the "Nurgle Champion" that many people dream of.

Rist, who is like a small mountain of meat, has a height of nearly three meters. The thick and rotten fat is like a stack of arhats, starting from the neck and spreading down on its body. It looks quite old.

More than 5000 followers of Nurgle of all kinds are under its control, and they are ruled obediently.

Excited, it just came back from the action of capturing living creatures. While walking in the wilderness of Nagareth, suddenly his heart trembled. Some kind of demon directly dropped words in his mind. It saw When I was beheaded in a duel with a silver elf, the environment in the picture was exactly the same as the surroundings.

"Roar! Stop!! Go back!!"

Rist, who has blindly obeyed the evil god and its lackeys to the extreme, did not doubt the authenticity of the illusion just now, and immediately gave the order to turn around.

……

"See it?" Carter saw that the enemy army was about to walk into the ambush circle he had set up but suddenly turned around and returned north. He couldn't help but smashed his thigh severely in annoyance, and shouted, "Order, the ballista immediately adjust the shooting parameters , shoot ten rapid-fire shots at the center of the enemy! The mage uses fireballs on the enemy's rear! The first to fifth enchanted equipment companies try to march around in front of the enemy, lay mines to stop the enemy from advancing, and the others attack immediately, don't let these beasts Escape!"

Under the operation of the engineers, the easily portable ballistas adjusted their new shooting angles in a short time, and the ballistas that were running as if falling off fired dozens of rounds of power in less than 1 minute, reaching 75% in the previous life. The powerful explosion of the millimeter howitzer caused more than 5000 Nurgle believers who were hundreds of meters away to be turned upside down, and their flesh and blood flew everywhere. More than [-] barbarian humans and beastmen wearing solid plate armor were killed or severely burned on the spot.

This intensive 'magic strike' frightened the leader, Rist, to the point of tearing his liver and gallbladder apart.

"Ahhh!! Where did so many mages come from!!!"

Subconsciously thinking that this attack came from the champion of Nurgle after the elf mage, he fixed his eyes on the mountain where the crossbow flew from in his eager eyes.

"Roar! That direction! Occupy that mountain! You! You! And you! Go and contact the other evil god troops around, and make sure they send reinforcements, especially mages. We are surrounded by a huge number of elf mages! It's this The main force of the sad kingdom!"

When the ballista's ten rapid-fire shots ended and the sound of the cannons stopped, Rist, who was already smug, gave the order decisively. Looking at the elven ambushes springing up on both sides, he decisively ordered five hundred Two Beastmen stayed behind to stop the enemy, and he led the rest of the troops to withdraw to a densely wooded hillside a few hundred meters away.

It's not that it doesn't want to stay away from the retreat, but that the team of elves on the left who are galloping to block its retreat doesn't give it a chance. Seeing that the retreat is hopeless, it can only choose a forest suitable for hindering the 'magic attack'.

The Beastmen left behind are quite mediocre in terms of strength and morale, but this does not prevent them from fulfilling their expectations of being the champion of Nurgle. After less than 500 minutes of support, the battle line that was finally maintained under the organization of a particularly strong bighorn collapsed.

Without screaming shamans, they have no power to fight back against several mages, and they don't even use offensive spells that are particularly expensive to use magic. It started to crash.

"Phew, it's fine if you don't escape." Seeing the remaining Nurgle troops fleeing to a small hill, Carter was relieved, thinking that swallowing this enemy army was a certainty.After all, they have a total strength of more than 5000 troops. They lost five or six hundred under the bombardment of the ballista magic arrow detonating talisman. In addition to the remaining five hundred beastmen, they lost one-fifth of them in just 10 minutes. One's troops are now only a thousand more troops than the Tianying Brigade.Today, the fighting strength of the elves of the Sky Eagle Brigade is not what it used to be. The fact that all members of the first to tenth companies are equipped with enchanted weapons is enough for the Sky Eagle Brigade to deal with most of the enemies.

Carter, who is full of confidence, thinks this is a sure win no matter how he looks at it.

But is war really that simple to calculate?

Rist, the champion of Nurgle who withdrew the remaining troops to the mountain, seemed to have lost all hope of life, but the first time he withdrew to the small mountain, he asked his subordinates to use the weapons that seemed to be rotten and would be destroyed in the next moment. Broken weapons, felling trees to make simple defensive equipment, wooden shields, fences, and horse repelling, as if they were sticking to the end.

Carter didn't notice that the few 'horned beasts' who were in charge of ordering successfully broke through, and he didn't plan to control them. However, if you zoom in to the entire southern region of Nagareth, you will find that although the more than 3000 elves in the Skyhawk Brigade They surrounded the Nurgle Legion on the mountain peak, but they were also surrounded by more than 20 troops of various gods. If the battle could not be resolved in a short time, those troops of the gods ruled by the horned beasts would also temporarily be on guard. If he promised to send troops to rescue, Carter and his subordinates would be caught in the chaos army's net. If it was No. [-] Company No. [-] before the expansion, Carter was confident that he would lead them to another breakout operation.

But now the Skyhawk Brigade, which is full of new recruits, can't do it so easily. The running-in time of less than ten days is not enough for them to become like the 21st Company, which can march in a difficult environment for several days without giving birth. any negative emotions.

The consequence of expanding the army too quickly is that the hearts of the people will be unstable. Once the army is forced to break through, there may be a large area of ​​sheep herding. Even if each team is theoretically led by one or two veterans, it will not help.

Therefore, the key now is whether Carter can solve the battle in a short time, that is, before dark today. Once it enters the night, even if he doesn't want to admit it, the Skyhawk Squadron will lose its ability to attack fortified positions. It does not yet have the ability to fight at night.

Of course, you can also hope that the various troops of the evil god hate each other and do not cooperate, resulting in slow support or no support at all.

You must know that believers of different evil gods are very active and even cooperate with each other in terms of "burning, killing, looting and aggression like fire".But once "friendly troops are in trouble", it is easy to appear "unmovable like a mountain".

However, any qualified commander cannot pin his hope of victory on the discord within the enemy, that would be tantamount to entrusting his own destiny to others to decide.

Carter, who hadn't realized everything, was organizing troops at this time, and planned to lead the team to take down the mountain in one go.

Chapter 139 Artillery Attack

"Captain, let us! There's no reason to ask you to lead the charge every time! If that's the case, what do we need!"

"Yes! Let our first company take charge of the offensive mission! As long as other troops cooperate, we will definitely take down the mountain!"

"No, let's do it!"

Looking at the passionate eyes of the soldiers in front of him, Carter, who has always been a leader, realized the mistakes he had made before.

There is nothing wrong with taking the lead, but no matter what the situation is, it is a bit suspected of taking credit. When the situation permits, it is better to ask the subordinates to make more military exploits.

"Please let me take charge!"

Suddenly Carter noticed the daughter of the local lord he recruited when he was stationed in Estalia; Stella

Her trident is quite conspicuous in the combination of spears and swords of other officers, and she has performed very well in previous battles.

At this point, Carter said: "Then Stella's Ninth Company will be responsible for the first attack! My request is very simple, take down this mountain at the lowest cost! Finish the battle before dark!"

"Yes!"

Stella, who received the combat mission, immediately saluted excitedly, then put on a helmet to cover her silver hair, and took her deputy Karus to organize her ninth company.

This is a new team composed of members basically from the former City Defense Force of Estalia. The company captain is Stella, and the deputy is the first civilian officer that Carter met after arriving in Estali.

Stella's Ninth Company was the vanguard, assisted by other companies.

Watching the Nurgle believers on the top of the mountain build simple fortifications, Carter had to mobilize the ballista and blast a gap with the precious detonating talisman crossbow.

This time, he came out to clear a safe corridor. Carter brought all his belongings with him. Several large boxes of detonating charms lay there obediently. There were thousands of them. However, in order to reduce casualties, four to five hundred detonating charms were consumed in two battles. Yes, this is his painstaking effort for several months of continuous production day and night.

But it’s not necessary, the soldiers of Skyhawk Brigade can’t die casually in this kind of place, if they die, they have to die honorably on the key battlefield that can change the fate of Azul.

But the reality reminded Carter all the time that he had to find a way to solve the problem of detonating talisman production. He was indeed a bit weak alone.

According to the experience of going to Naruto World for the first time, things in that world can be brought to the world of medieval warhammers (ninja kits). When the conditions are right, a workshop dedicated to making detonating symbols will be established there, so that It can free Carter himself from this onerous work.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………

Under the cover of the ballista, the elves successfully came to the center of the mountain, more than 200 meters away from the top of the mountain, and the ballista arranged at the foot of the mountain began to show its power.

"Boom boom boom!!"

The fence and horse repelling made of temporarily felled trees were vulnerable to the blow of the ballista, and the shock wave and flame instantly made a gap.

"Son of Marselan! Follow me!"

Stella, who held a trident in one hand and a kite shield in the other, immediately took advantage of this opportunity and rushed forward with more than 500 people. The chaotic believers who had always mainly fought in hand-to-hand combat used crude slings for the first time at this time. The elf hurled stones.

Although the slings and stones seem a bit low-end, their lethality is unambiguous at all. In the hands of powerful Nurgle believers, these thrown stones can often fly tens of meters away and still maintain kinetic energy. It wouldn't be fatal if it hit the solid armor, but it could also use kinetic energy to hinder the elves to a certain extent.

"Fire cover!"

Due to the need to maintain the encirclement, there are not many people who can be drawn out to cover with bows and arrows, about 500 people, of which 300 are shield-bearing crossbowmen who temporarily pick up bows and arrows.

But even if there were only 500 people, the elves still suppressed those Nurgle believers hiding behind the fence. Unfortunately, since they were shooting from the bottom and the distance was about 200 meters apart, the kinetic energy of the arrows was almost dissipated. For Nurgle believers who are generally covered in fur and shredded meat, a small wound poked by an arrow is not a fatal injury at all, let alone Nurgle Chaos Warriors wearing plate armor.After realizing that this kind of attack could not cause effective damage to themselves, they began to throw objects recklessly.

Stones, handaxes and javelins took turns. The crawling elf already felt that his steps were very slow when he was wearing a full set of armor. Now he had to raise his shield to defend against attacks, and the feeling was even worse. Although he continued to climb, but The speed is no less than that of a turtle.

As the distance gets closer, the attack power of the followers of Nurgle is also increasing. Their rotten appearance looks quite disgusting, but the power contained in the muscles hidden under the rottenness is not lost to the Chaos Warriors.Many people think that the solid shield is easy to explode when it is hit by a handaxe javelin or a powerful projectile at close range. This can only be avoided by keeping the angle of inclination, but many elves Forget about that.

Several elves were caught off guard, and their shields were directly pierced and hurt their torso. Under the pain, they lost their balance and rolled down. The elves behind had to jump up to avoid being caught in it, but the ones in front dodged However, the latter may not be able to react.As a result, the hillside was full of tumbling elf soldiers for a while.

When they finally rolled to the bottom of the mountain and were stopped by their comrades-in-arms, they found that several people were crushed to the neck by the weight of their whole bodies during the rolling process, and died directly. This made Carter, who thought it was no big deal at first, widen his eyes angrily.
