Warhammer Throne

Chapter 387: , Desperate

On the streets of Hemgart, a group of people were slowly moving, and the remaining militiamen and the musket team that had escaped from the barracks moved vigilantly, crowding the civilians in the middle. Kuangsha Literature Network

"It's ruined, it's all ruined." Su Liya walked in the forefront, and the female knight's long golden hair was flying in the city of Hemgart in January, and the whole city was burning.

The female knight is still full of energy, but this can't change the state of the entire army, exhaustion, panic, fear of the future, the motivational effect of Veronica's spell has disappeared.

Most of the civilians have lost their families and their own property. Soldiers have also lost their comrades in arms. Human morale is low.

The group of survivors walked along Mullan Street towards the city wall. There was no ratman army on the road. After Su Liya ordered the most elite Mackensen Musketeer team, she led the militia to explore the way ahead.

"Veronica, are you okay?" This is the first time that Su Liya has encountered this serious situation. The female knight is very familiar with court politics. She said to Veronica, "Sorry, I don't know much about wizards, I mean, how are you?"

"I'm okay, about half of the mana reserves are left." Veronica shook her head, and the witch's face didn't look as good as she said: "I want to say, Mrs. Suria, our situation is not good. , The four of us want to kill Hemgart and now more than 300 people want to kill Hemgart, these are two concepts."

"I know, and we don't know the scale of the rat people." Su Liya frowned, she looked up at the tall wall of Hemgart in the distance: "But we can't give up reaching out to people in trouble. Give a helping hand."

There were still gunfire and artillery sounds on the walls, which showed that the defenders were still resisting.

"I don't know what happened to Trovik? Our little father-in-law Jialan mainly had an accident. The female elder Aurora might be mad, but Trovik is her only daughter." Veronica There was a hint of sarcasm in her tone, she was leaning on her staff, and the gray streets and houses of Hemgart were now like a muddy pond.

Half of this mud pool is green venom and half is red flame.

"Ms. Teresa and the two Lord Rickweis should be able to take care of themselves. The question now is, how do we get to the Church of Justice?" Su Liya felt that Veronica answered the question, and the female knight had to emphasize it again: "I Knowing that you and Ryan used to go out together on adventures, and they must have more field combat and resilience than me."

"Boom~" As if responding to Sulia's words, Hemgart shook again.

Under the eyes of everyone, half a block was shaking in front of everyone. This city built on a mountainside had a terrible landslide. Half a block fell directly from the mountain. Twenty houses fell into the abyss and waited for several seconds. Bell, the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground came from under the mountains.

The heavy voice shocked everyone.

Veronica sighed lightly. She walked to Sulia and said in a low voice: "The problem now is not how we decide to go to the Church of Justice, but which way to go so that we can reach the Church of Justice as soon as possible. , Our group of people has too great goals, madam, look at these humans, they are about to lose their courage, we are not Lane, as long as Lane stands there is a living myth, these people will not be afraid, but you and me It is different. Perhaps in the eyes of these refugees and soldiers, I am a witch and not worthy of trust. Eber is a witcher, killing his own people is more diligent than killing enemies, and you are also a daughter of the great nobleman of Didi. They lack trust in us from the bottom of their hearts. Only behind a high wall can they regain some confidence."

Only then did Su Liya realize how bad the situation was. The female knight observed the conditions in the nearby streets, and then said: "Then we shouldn't let Ryan act separately from us?"

"Ryan is right to separate from us. He is too strong and it is difficult to use it with us, and Ryan can attract the main force of the rat people. It is correct for him to disperse with us." Veronica whispered: "We can only rely on ourselves!"

"Captain Huber, may I ask if we are going to the Church of Justice, what are the ways we can go?" Su Liya then turned to the Empire Captain Huber for help. The Empire Captain's face was hastily bandaged and heard the female knight. He thought for a while and said: "There are still two more."

"The first is the military camp, where you can reach the city wall through the archer garrison, but now the military camp has collapsed, so this one is definitely not working."

"The second is at the end of Moulin Avenue. There will pass through Franz Square to the city gate, and the stairs inside the city gate can reach the city wall."

"The third one is...Earl's Castle, the Earl's Castle is connected to the city wall, but the Earl's Castle is currently..."

Huber raised his head, the earl's castle was burning, and no one knew what was going on.

"In any case, we have to go through the city wall to reach the Church of Justice."

Su Liya lowered her head to think, she was a little undecided.

Walking through the city gate seems to be less risky, but if you encounter a large force of the scavengers, you must fight a fierce battle. Walking the earl’s castle seems to be risky, but if the castle has fallen, then the large troop of scavengers may have been transferred. If you are lucky , May not need too fierce battle.

"Let's go to the city gate!" Before Su Liya could say anything, Veronica took the initiative to say, the Garland Witch was very determined on this matter.

"That way, after walking down this Moulin Avenue, you will see Franz Square. Walk along the stairs behind the square statue and walk two blocks at night to reach the city gate." Huber hesitated, obviously he also knew the pros and cons. , So hesitated, seeing Veronica walking through the gate so firmly, the captain of the Empire let out a sigh of relief: "In this case, let's head towards Franzplatz."

"Everyone, be careful! Try to speak as quietly as possible, don't speak loudly!" Veronica ordered, and the Garland Witch said to the team of more than 200 people: "I am thinking of everyone! If you want to survive , Please do as I ordered!"

At this time, a young musketeer raised his hand: "Of course we will listen to your instructions, witch, but can you tell us why we must walk to the gate of the square? If we go around the earl’s castle, we might Can be avoided..."

"Yes, we may be a large force that can avoid the rat people, but is this useful? There are rat people everywhere in the city. We can avoid it for a while, can we avoid it all the way? Even if we avoid it all the way, do we arrive at the Church of Justice? Don’t face the siege of the rat people? And how long does it take to detour the earl’s castle? Will the chance of us being hit by the rat tide be small? When we encounter a problem, we have to find a way to solve it, not to escape it! Could it be you Your superior has always taught you this way?" Veronica raised her eyebrows, and Witch Garland pointed at the core of the problem with sharp words.

When Veronica said this, the refugees and soldiers were a little frustrated, but they had to admit that Veronica was right. Many people just want to avoid the rat tide blindly, and don’t even think about whether the rat people are just pure. Land looting, will they let these survivors go?

The soldiers moved slowly along the street. Along the way, you could occasionally see some low-level slave rats and clan rats searching for food and trophies. The soldiers who survived were naturally baptized by blood and fire, and they quickly dropped them. The single rats were killed on the spot without leaving their mouths alive.

When they reached the end of Moulin Avenue, the crowd stopped temporarily. They found an abandoned bakery with some food and water. Veronica immediately ordered everyone to eat and rest on the spot.

On the top of a collapsed house, Sulia, Veronica, Huber and Eber stood together to discuss what to do next, not far from Franz Square.

"Hey~ha~hey~ha~skaven! yesyes!"

A whole team of Storm Rat patrols are moving along Franz Square. They shouted slogans and patrolled the square. The square was full of human corpses that were hanged and gnawed into a single bone. On one side of the square was a mouthful of green The big clock of dimensional stone processing.

"What do you do now?" Empire Captain Huber frowned: "We want to pass through the square. We must deal with this group of rat people. They seem to be the elite of the rat people."

"Storm Rat, the elite force of Skaven Rats, is equivalent to the master knight of Brittany." Veronica whispered, and the Garland Witch motioned everyone to calm down, she was thinking of a way.

"We must eliminate the group of storm rats as soon as possible, otherwise they will definitely ring the bell and attract more rat surges. The morale of the soldiers and civilians has fallen to the bottom, and it is easy to collapse under the impact of the rat surge." The female knight shook her head. Although Su Liya was good at swordsmanship, she was a knight after all.

"I have a grenade made by a dwarf here." Eber the witcher spoke, and he took out a grenade from his arms: "Just a grenade may not kill the entire patrol team."

"The sound of the grenade is too loud, and it will definitely attract the attention of the rat tide." Veronica raised an objection: "I can summon the meteors to destroy the patrol team directly, but these movements are too big!"

"No, the grenade made by the dwarves is not so loud. At least the noise we make here must be smaller than the noise on the wall." Huber whispered, "Do we have any other way?"

Now the few people present nodded, and there really was no other way.

Five minutes later, more than 30 musketeers found their positions and hidden positions. They raised their muskets and aimed at the Storm Rat patrol on the square.

Eber took out the grenade and prepared to ignite it. Veronica released the fireball technique. A basin-sized fireball gathered in the palm of the Garland Witch. Veronica said to everyone: "Prepare, I'll give an order, Eber Well, you throw the grenade first. I will release the fireball technique. When the grenade is about to explode, all the musketeers will open fire together. You must quickly eliminate this entire team of Storm Rats!"

"Understood." The people whispered.

"Three." The grenade lead ignited.

"Two." Veronica pushed the fireball out, the red fireball exuding hot temperatures.

"One!" The musketeers all squeezed the trigger.

"Fire!"

"Hey~ha~hey~ha" These storm rats were patrolling, and a black dwarf grenade fell into the middle of their team.

"Boom!" The grenade exploded in the group of rats, and the stumps and arms flew around. In an instant, five storm rats were killed on the spot.

"Fireball technique!" Veronica's fireball technique fell into the rat group, and the blast of air flooded the rat group, and eight more storm rats were burned into a mass of ashes by the fireball technique, and the armor was in the scorching air wave. melt.

"Enemy attack! A sneak attack by humans and humans!" The remaining storm rats reacted, and they screamed: "No, no! Bell~ Ring, ring the bell!"

"Ring the bell!" The five storm rats left immediately rushed towards the big bell on the other side of the square.

"Shoot! Shoot! Never let these mice ring the big bell!" In a hurry, Veronica shouted: "Shoot, soldiers!"

"Yes!" The Mackensen musket team fired together, and the white musket barrage instantly drowned the five storm rats.

The first storm rat was shot in the head and exploded. It dullly reached out and touched its head, and found that it was missing.

The second storm rat was shot continuously and fell dead on the spot.

The third and fourth storm rats were engulfed by the musket barrage, and its body automatically disintegrated in the air, turning into several broken pieces.

But the fifth storm rat deftly hid behind his companion and avoided the musket Qi. It hissed loudly and rushed towards the big clock: "yesyes! Knock, ring the bell! Big, big horned rat Will punish you little, little humans!"

"One end left! Aim at it!" Empire Captain Huber yelled at the musketeers. Most of the musketeers had finished firing the bullets in the barrel, and the remaining few shots allowed the storm rat to swiftly avoid it. It gradually approached the big clock.

Five meters, four meters, three meters.

At this time, even Su Liya's face showed anxious expression.

"Bang!" Eber fired, the demon hunter pulled the trigger, and the firecracker in his hand spit out bullets.

"Pop!" Storm Rat was shot in his right leg, and he staggered and fell to the ground. Then a musket bullet hit its back and penetrated the armor. It fell two meters away from the clock.

Did it succeed? Almost all the survivors' hearts raised their throats!

"For and for the big horned rat!" This storm rat was badly injured. It did not die by relying on the last will. With its scarlet eyes rolling, it suddenly grabbed its own halberd and threw it towards the big clock!

"Boom~" The halberd hit the big clock, and the bell rang!

"Boom~boom~boom~" The bell in the square rang for less than three seconds, and the entire Hemgart, burning with thick smoke, spread around the square, and bells rang in many places in the city!

"Yes~yes..." Storm Rat heard the bell and stretched out his legs, desperately on the spot.

Oops! The faces of everyone suddenly became white.

Countless messy footsteps and rat people's squeaks began to come from all directions!

"Ready to fight! Ready to fight!" empire captain Huber yelled, and he clenched the sharp sword in his hand: "Soldiers! Prepare to meet the rat tide!"

As soon as the voice fell, the ground was trembling, and the wall of a house was directly destroyed by a behemoth. In the collapsed wall, a monster more than four meters high appeared in front of everyone, except for a huge rat head and its body. It is composed of twisted limbs of other creatures, and the epidermis is full of stitches. This giant beast directly grabbed two civilians, tore them to pieces by hand, and then devoured the delicious and delicious blood of humans as much as possible!

"This is a rat troll!" Veronica yelled, "Musketeer! Hit!"

The rat troll suffered a few bullets, and it didn’t feel any pain at all. On the contrary, the monster crashed into a dragon cart and smashed the line of defense built by humans. Two soldiers were slapped and hit on the wall of the house and shattered. Bones, refugees and militias fled in despair.

"The end is coming!" "We're done!"

"Charlemagne is here, please save us!"

At the same time, a tsunami-like rat tide is approaching, and the waves formed by thousands of Skaven have surrounded this group of survivors!

The survivors are in desperation!
