The Sun King's Evidence

Chapter 467, Legion Reborn

In the port of Skogi, which is surrounded by beacons, artillery from the Tyrell Institute of Engineers is conducting inhumane bombardments on the barbarians who are barely resisting. The cannons roar and the mortars are carefully aimed, tearing apart the last ridiculous resistance of the barbarians.

Like a tide, the Ash Legion soldiers advanced as a whole. They formed a solid formation and attacked through a tight array. At the same time, the musketeers and crossbowmen used dense barrages to eliminate the recalcitrant forces. Due to the lack of cavalry, the legion commander Under the orders of , the flanks were protected by a large number of sword and shield soldiers. At the same time, these human expeditionary forces were also supported by a legion of lizard-man cold lizard riders.

At the same time, a group of pterosaur riders were soaring in the sky. The lizards above used boulders and bloodthirsty charges to deal huge blows to the stubborn barbarian warriors. When the defense lines of the barbarians from the northern wasteland were broken one after another After the attack, the last remaining strongholds of the barbarians were only a few taverns and some corner streets.

Deep in the forest visible to the naked eye, the Great Lord of Slann, the Demon Toad Master Mazda-Moody, is sitting on the high holy throne of the Triceratops Dragon Zerag. It looks like it is asleep. He lowered his head and said nothing, only the black cobra scepter in his hand exuded terrifying magic power.

"Great Lord, our hot-blooded alliance is advancing steadily. At present, it seems that the enemy believers are about to be irreversibly destroyed. The stars show that this will be a great victory for us." Just at Mazda-Mu Beside Di, surrounded by hundreds of temple guards, Skink Priest "Defender" Isis whispered: "That Chaos Champion has been killed by Fulgrim's sword."

"Very good, order the hot-blooded species to continue advancing." Mazda Moody seemed to have spent a lot of time reacting. The Demon Toad Lord looked at the fierce battle on the beach with satisfaction: "The coast must also be purified. .”

After saying that, Mazda Moody seemed to realize what he should do.

Lord Demon Toad stretched out his hand towards the sky.

The stars twinkle, and the light of order illuminates the world.

The mantra is recited, and the power of the universe suppresses evil things.

A sacred light as pure as the sun penetrated down from high in the sky and blasted into Skogi who was in the middle of the war.

The last position of the barbarians was completely destroyed by this terrifying beam of light. None of the thousands of barbarians survived. The fortress where they were located turned into a large open space after the beam dissipated, and nothing was left on the beach.

"Rumble~" The earth was shaking, and a twenty-meter-high tsunami was summoned under the will of Lord Demon Toad. All the barbarian ships that tried to retreat were swept into the raging tide and twisted into pieces. .

On the ground, an earthquake crack tens of meters wide swallowed up more than three hundred barbarian raiders who wanted to escape to the forest. Then the crack closed instantly, and the sound of crushing flesh and blood came from beneath the earth.

The Battle of Skogi came to an end. The Skogi tribe was completely annihilated after being attacked by the Ash Legion and the Lizardman Legion. No barbarian managed to escape.

Seeing the end of the war, the lizard man didn't say a word. The Demon Toad Lord Mazda Moody just nodded towards Legion Commander Fulgen from a distance, then turned around and disappeared into the rain forest with hundreds of temple guards. , the remaining lizard people also retreated one after another.

"A brilliant victory, Legion Commander." Fernando Pirazzo, the deputy commander of the Ash Legion, smiled happily: "We finally eliminated these damn barbarians! From now on, this is our land!"

His long white hair was flying in the smoke. As the legion leader, Fulgrim tightened his grip on the golden power sword "Glory" in his hand. He looked at the head of Chaos Champion Rost Linkson-Kool with no interest, not even a trace. The desire to collect and the opponent in the duel were too weak, which made him unhappy. However, after more than a year of hard work, he finally solved this difficult barbarian tribe.

Yes, difficult. Fulgrim rarely used this word to describe his enemies. During the Great Crusade, he rarely encountered opponents that he found difficult to deal with.

But the Skogi tribe is indeed too difficult to deal with. This tribe's army is composed of a large number of fast predator cavalry, with extremely high mobility, and is supplemented by a large number of Chaos warriors. These barbarians with full Chaos armor have extremely strong combat effectiveness. It is extremely difficult to deal with and often requires more than five human soldiers to have a certain chance of winning.

That would be fine, but the Skogis have learned a special skill during their long settlement career - pretending to be southerners. These barbarians learned to use Low Gothic to blend into the expeditionary force, steal intelligence, and deliver messages. .

This forced Fulgrim to spend some time cleaning up the army. At the same time, he first launched the Battle of the Isthmus of Lustria, aiming to clean up the strongholds established by the barbarians in the forest.

This tragic war was fought in the forest, with an expeditionary force of more than 5,000 people and a barbarian army of more than 8,000 people fighting head-on.

Facing the superior strength of the barbarians, Fulgrim chose to fight steadily. He personally stood on the front line, ordered the soldiers to build fortifications in a depression, stood in readiness, and gave up the high ground.

A large group of barbarian plundering riders saw that the expeditionary army dared to build fortifications in the lowlands. They were the base for the highlands, so they felt that if they rushed down, they would be overwhelming. This battle was secure.

The first wave to attack the fortifications was five hundred barbarian raiders and barbarian raiding riders. They were quickly defeated in front of Fulgrim's carefully planned fortifications. The dense rainforest hindered the cavalry charge, and if The heavy rain of arrows killed almost all the barbarian soldiers.

The second wave of attacks was led by a Chaos Champion. He personally led his Marauder Berserkers and Marauder Riders to storm the fortifications and successfully broke through the first line of defense. Under Fulgrim's orders, the Halberdiers, The spearmen and sword and shield soldiers launched a counterattack. Through determined fighting and the encouragement of the legion commander himself, the soldiers of the expeditionary force relied on neat queues and strict military discipline to kill the barbarian marauders. The Chaos Champion was attacked by hundreds of fire. The guns were fired at the same time and turned into sieves.

Several hours had passed since the war. This fierce battle at noon had left both sides in a state of hunger. The Ash Legion occupying the depressions obviously controlled the water source. Both sides began to be exhausted, especially the barbarians who gradually realized The situation was not good, and at this time, extremely bad news came. The deputy commander of the Ash Legion led an elite force of about 500 people to cut off the barbarians' retreat!

Everything went as Fulgrim planned, and the remaining Skogi army had to fall into a dilemma.

So in the third wave of attacks, the Skogi were forced to attack the entire main force. Dozens of Chaos Knights led more than 300 Chaos Plunder Riders to charge. The Barbarian Champions and Chaos Warriors chanted the God of Chaos. Daimyo, they followed a war mammoth with a shrine to the evil god and rushed into the fortifications. More than 3,000 barbarian troops broke through three lines of defense of the Ash Legion in one fell swoop.

Despite heavy losses, the expeditionary force still managed to kill the war mammoth with cannons and muskets. Later, the first company of the Ash Legion, led by Fulgrim himself, completely defeated the barbarian offensive.

This was the turning point of the war. After the fall of the Chaos Champions on the War Mammoth and the War Mammoth, the Skogi people began to fall into chaos. The morale of the barbarian army dropped sharply. The chiefs of many small tribes withdrew from the battlefield. Some scattered The Chaos Knights tried to bypass the fortifications and attack the flank of the Ember Legion, but were repelled by the reserve force commanded by Fulgrim, who was well prepared.

At this time, Pirazzo had already led the elite troops to successfully bypass the enemy. The barbarian army finally fell into a total collapse when being attacked from both sides. The chief of Skogi, Rost Linkson-Kur, summoned a chaos beast at the cost of a cruel sacrifice. The demon wanted to save the defeat, but the big demon who gave him immense confidence was exiled after just seven rounds under Fulgrim.

In the end, Skogi chief Rostrlinkson-Kul broke out with only a dozen followers.

This war started at ten o'clock in the morning and ended at four o'clock in the afternoon. In the Battle of the Isthmus of Lustria, the Ash Legion beheaded more than 5,000 people, and they only lost more than 1,200 people.

After this battle, the Skogis who suffered heavy losses had to withdraw from the forest. However, Fulgrim also gave up attacking the barbarian territory because of the loss of his own legion. He tried every means to get in touch with the old world and used A large amount of gold, silver, and gems were used as bait, successfully convincing many nobles in Estalia and the city-states of Tilea to organize three waves of Lustrian expeditionary forces again. Of course, Fulgrim easily used his personality to Charm and passionate slogans were supplemented by promises of gold, silver and honor to bring these troops under his command, and even established a stable recruiting point in Miragliano in Tilea.

The mercenary captains watched helplessly as all their men were infected by Fulgrim's charm and great ideals. They sent troops many times to obstruct Fulgrim, but only after hearing the news of defection on the battlefield, they sent their cronies to assassinate Fulgrim. In the end, they were cronies. He also betrayed himself. A Tilean nobleman even sent his son to assassinate Fulgrim. In the end, his son not only returned the same way but failed, but also sang surrender in front of his father, which showed that he had already Pledge of allegiance to Fulgrim, willing to give up his noble status and become a recruit.

"Captain Fulgen asked me to bring you a message..."

The nobleman was so angry that he committed suicide with his belt in his room.

After a series of recruitments, the Ash Legion now has a size of about 20,000 people. It has successively established many towns along the coast of Lustria, settled here, and continues to abide by the laws and regulations of the Demon Toad Lord Mazda Moody. of the Covenant, and continued to attack all of Skogi's territories.

"Legion Commander? Are you listening?" Pirazzo's words interrupted Fulgrim's thoughts. The Primarch of the Emperor's Son nodded calmly: "I am listening. This is indeed an amazing victory, Fernando, but This is just the beginning.”

"Yes, this is just the beginning." Fernando only felt that he was enveloped in endless blood and excitement, and the bright sunshine fell on the old mercenary leader. He had never felt so full of glory and faith: "Look, Legion Sir, the soldiers are cheering."

From the forest to the seaside, from the ruins to the high platform, the soldiers of the expeditionary force were cheering. They were all shouting Fulgrim's name loudly. Their admiration for the legion commander was simply beyond reach. As long as Fulgrim personally commanded The war was never lost, and the soldiers worshiped him, loved him, and even imitated his every move.

So handsome, so powerful, so wise, like a god.

War is indeed the best place to accumulate prestige. Fulgen had many thoughts in his mind. He nodded calmly and waved. After thunderous cheers, the legion commander ordered everyone to clean the battlefield and clean up the area where the barbarians left. The ruins were destroyed, the spoils of war were collected, rewards and meritorious deeds were calculated, and the soldiers who made military exploits were rewarded in turn.

Fulgrim was not too happy in his heart. He knew that this was just the beginning of his journey. From Ryan, he learned that the Skaven army would soon attack Lustria, and from the Lizard From the place where the Great Lord Mazda-Moody and the war leader Ku'ga, Fulgrim learned how difficult and powerful the Skaven were.

However, these will all become the touchstone for Fulgen to regain his former glory.

The legion commander returned to the big tent alone. Fulgan found that there was already a person waiting. When he saw the visitor, a smile appeared on his face: "What good news will you bring me this time? Hadrian gentlemen?"

Hadrian, the president of the Luigi Chamber of Commerce, this big merchant from the southern country was undoubtedly sent by Ryan, and he did complete his mission very well - the new expeditionary force is being replenished. It was planned by him, and the businessman relied on his connections to help Fulgen purchase more artillery and muskets.

"A good news and a bad news, Captain Fulgrim, which one do you want to listen to?" Ocean sailing is obviously a hard job. Hadrian's physical condition is not good. He is pale and has a pretty face, but obviously due to his He made unimaginable profits during the ocean voyage, and his spirit was very good.

At the same time, he was still muttering in his mind, why are Ryan's brothers so tall? The one named Angron is nearly three meters tall, and the one named Fulgrim in front of him is also more than two meters tall.

"bad news?"

"The bad news is that I only managed to find two of the engineers you specified. They can only make the simplest cannons and mortars." Hadrian shook his head and said, "Although the remuneration is amazing , but there are really too few people who are willing to take such a big risk. To be honest, if Mr. Ryan hadn’t been willing to guarantee it, I wouldn’t have spent several months taking a boat to come to this place.”

The two engineers made Fulgen feel that it was barely acceptable: "So what's the good news?"

"The good news is that five Tilean dwarf craftsmen have agreed to come here and accept your employment." Hadrian said with a smile: "As long as you can satisfy their thirst for gold, they are willing to work for you."

"Very good." Fulgan got a satisfactory answer. He thought for a moment and finally took out a very formal document from under the table: "This is a reward for you. Take it, Mr. Hadrian."

Documents? what? Hader's conscience was full of doubts. He took the delicate parchment and saw that the text on the parchment was written in Gothic, and the title was "Trade License for Rogue Traders".

The signature at the bottom is Fulgen's signature.

Does this thing make sense to me? Hadrian cursed in his heart, but the merchant still accepted the trade license with a smile on his face, saying that he would definitely take it back and treasure it.

Maybe it works?

Some time after Hadrian exited, Fulgrim's tent lit up with golden light, and endless power filled the tent. Several figures appeared in the flow of golden light and shadow.

"You did well, Fulgrim."

"Father!"
