Warhammer Throne
Chapter 390: , The Church of Justice
Hemgart, the southern axe bites the wall of the pass, on the cliff.
The towering, huge Justice Church is built on the cliffs of the wall of Axe's Pass. It is covered with snow and is picturesque. It has always been the center of faith for the entire city.
The golden dome covers the tall buildings. From a distance, a great earthquake awes cultists and dark creatures. It’s just the burning flames and collapsed walls on the nearby walls, as well as the piles of corpses on the walls. In order to prevent possible invasions by the Orcs, Greenskins, and Breton knights, Mgat’s defenders have always been very vigilant. After the Ratmen quickly captured the barracks, they wanted to attack the city wall immediately. Under the leadership of the swordsman, he stood firm and repelled the wave of rat tides.
The paladins guarding the Church of Justice and the fighting priests also dispatched together. They rushed to the city wall, chanted divine arts, and fought hard and **** battles with the Skaven Rats.
The rat tide was wave after wave, but the defenders on the wall were unable to hold on. The battlefield stretched from the gate to the stairwell, then the turret on the wall, and finally to the surface of the wall. The rat tide was repelled many times, but they Will always come back again.
The soldiers were panicked. Reinhardt, Earl of Hemgart, didn’t know where he was. The defenders blew the horn again and again to contact the Earl to request support. The Ratman clearly showed fear and panic after hearing the horn. The look, but as the horns were sounded several times in a row, no one answered. This group of rats gradually began to laugh at the cowardice and timidity of human beings. Many Skavens even learned to do it during the battle. The act of blowing the horn.
"Human stuff! diedie!"
Just when the rats were triumphant and the morale of the defenders fell to the bottom, unexpected support arrived.
The cold wind howled, blizzards and frost new stars swept across the battlefield.
The two Rick guards led a dozen of their defenders into the battlefield, and a witch released magic one after another, and several enhanced magic continued, and the defenders finally mustered the courage to continue the fight.
The appearance of the Rick Guard means that a chaotic city wall guard finally has a commander who can convince the masses. Whether it is Rudolph or Wagner, they are the children of military nobles. The identity of the Rick Guard allows them to quickly Taking over the command, even so, the defenders paid a huge price before finally repelling another wave of rats.
At this time, in the Church of Justice, more than 600 refugees were hiding in the hall of the cathedral tremblingly. The giant statue of the God of Justice was emitting a warm light, barely maintaining the last trace of morale of these refugees.
People in groups, spread out some simple blankets and clothes, hugged together to keep warm. In such a large church, a small amount of firewood simply cannot provide enough temperature. The icy ground comes with a deep cold in the bones.
Rudolph, the guard of Rick, touched his brown beard. The eldest son of the duke’s family was very calm. He held wine and white bread in his hands. The white bread sandwiched with bacon provided necessary nutrition for the hungry body.
Wagner was also eating. Two people were sitting in the corner. The master engineer played with the wheel of firecrackers in his hands, and said to Rudolph: "Hemgart has at least five thousand people, but besides the soldiers, there may be six in the hall. Hundreds of people."
"Maybe less than six hundred. I mean we saved so many people without including those militiamen and soldiers." Wagner sighed in a low voice: "The rat-man attack came too suddenly, and many humans even regarded them. is a friend."
"Hey, what does this remind me of, do you remember the Brunswick parade a few months ago? A group of noble ladies

They protested that human consumption of meat is a very excessive move, and they believe that we must treat all lives equally. Rudolph laughed straightly: "The emperor graciously agreed to their request, saying that since you have made your request, then you are responsible for your actions. Your Majesty has asked these noble ladies to go to the market in Brunswick. I paid my own money to buy all the cows, sheep, chickens, ducks and pigs to be slaughtered, and "save" them back home. "
"After that, the emperor even let the soldiers tell the news that there were people buying livestock at high prices in the market, and the self-cultivating farmers from all directions brought their livestock to the capital for sale. These aristocratic ladies were overwhelmed in just three days and were finally forced to give up. For the ban on meat, the farmers also praised your majesty’s virtues.” Wagner smiled after listening, but the smile disappeared quickly.
Now is not the time to tell jokes.
"We are left with fifty-three musketeers, sixteen great swordsmen, and no more than one hundred defenders. Many of them have injuries. You and my defenders add up to fifteen, except In addition, what those militias can do is to wave the flag and shout, really want them to deal with the rats alone, I don't think it will do."
"Where are the fighting priests and paladins?"
"There are several battle priests, and there are more than 20 paladins. These people are considered a fighting force, but they are not easy to command."
"How long will it take for the Emperor's reinforcements to arrive?" Wagner checked his bullet reserve. There were more than 50 bullets left on his body. He suddenly regretted that he had fired too much in the previous battle.
"His Majesty has no reason to be ignorant of what happened to Hemgart." Rudolph nodded, "In any case, it will not take more than two days."
"Then whether we can survive or not depends on the two witches, but...their situation doesn't look very good either."
Inside the small room of the Church of Justice.
Veronica was lying on a bed with a pale face. This was the place where the church staff had a nap, but it was now cleared out for her and Teresa to rest.
The slender eyelashes of Witch Garland twitched twice, and she barely opened her eyes. Oncoming was the dry air in the room and the faint light of candlelight.
"Are you awake?" A cold voice rang in her ears.
"What are you doing here? Little princess?" Veronica closed her eyes again when she heard this voice.
"Of course I came to see you with a fake look." Teresa said angrily: "Since I wake up, get up quickly. I have some food on the table. I ate quickly. We are now guarding the church. But for how to deal with the rat people, Everyone has no experience. Ryan is not here now, and you know the most about the rat people."
"Trovic, didn't your mother teach you how to be polite?" Veronica felt a headache. She knew it was a sign of excessive use of magic power. There was a vein on the forehead of the Garland Witch. She will spread it on The quilt on her body was lifted hard, and she was thinking of getting up, but the situation in front of her made her a little dazed.
Teresa was injured, her right hand was wrapped in a thick bandage and hung on her chest, and her left hand was leaning on a staff.
"Oh, are you injured again? Trovik?" Veronica was stunned for a few seconds, and quickly said in a mocking tone: "This is to let Elder Aurora know that she will feel distressed for a long time! Tell me! Me, Trovik, how did you get hurt?"
"What does this have to do with you?" Teresa didn't want to fight Veronica: "Don't think I don't know, you are also injured, Su Li

Mrs. Ya said that you were injured by the rat troll, but fortunately the injury was not serious. "
Veronica opened her mouth. The witch originally wanted to ridicule the sorcerer fiercely, but in the end she sighed: "It's not good. It's not a time to rest. My mana reserves are almost exhausted, you Woolen cloth?"
"My mana reserves are okay. It's January, and there is heavy snow outside. I can easily absorb a lot of ice magic power." Teresa looked at her arm with a bit of frustration: "Unfortunately, there is no way to use the musket. "
"Skaven Skaven... Trovik, if we want to resist the Skaven's attack, we must resist the Skaven's all-pervasive attack..." Veronica stood up, and the Garland Witch moved herself. A pair of long legs, put on boots, ate a few bites: "We must strengthen the defense of the church."
"Strengthen the line of defense? How to strengthen it?" The door of the room was pushed open, and the heroic female knight and her maid Silvia stepped into the room, seeing Veronica rise, Sulia's mouth bloomed Happy smile: "Great, Veronica, you look better."
"Madam, the situation is not good at all, my magic has bottomed out." Veronica stood up immediately to show respect. After Sulia and Sylvia were seated, Veronica sat down: "How is the morale of the soldiers?"
"It makes sense. At the very least, the appearance of the captain of the Empire, Huber, has improved the morale of the soldiers, and the presence of the two Rick guards also made the soldiers feel that they have the backbone." Su Liya's face was serious, and she nodded. Nodded: "At least everyone has expectations for reinforcements."
"Well, it doesn't matter how the refugees are. To put it harder, these people are actually a burden to our survival." Veronica first pointed out the core ruthlessly: "Six hundred refugees, panic and helpless. They also need to eat and drink Lazarus. Not only did these people provide no help in this war, they were a heavy burden for us to arrange the line of defense."
Su Liya frowned. She first noticed that Teresa did not speak, and the sorcerer chose to remain silent.
Obviously, Teresa thought so too, she just didn't say it, because she promised Ryan to treat everyone equally.
The female knight was still calm, and her serious personality was close to the old-fashioned maid Silvia could no longer stand. She was wearing a Breton standard knight's plate armor, holding a rapier, and listening to Veronica's analysis. , The maid immediately intends to export a rebuttal.
Su Liya immediately stretched out her hand to signal Silvia to shut up, Veronica hadn't finished her words.
"But we can't abandon them. Hemgart is destroyed, but people are still there. The significance of whether a city exists is not in the architecture, but in the people. If someone is there, there is hope for everything." Sure enough, Veronica The beautiful crescent eyebrows are almost twisted into a ball: "Hemgart needs these people for reconstruction. Only if they survive, the city has a future, so we must never abandon them. This will not only cause riots among the refugees, It will also make the soldiers disappointed with us, especially with Ryan."
These words were very reasonable, and everyone nodded.
"Now we can only count on two. The first one is the news from Ryan. If he can behead the Ratman's commander, then the Ratman's character likes infighting will automatically retreat. The second one is from Monte. Duke Ford or Emperor Karl-Franz’s reinforcements, if the reinforcements can arrive as soon as possible...Mrs. Suria, is there any news from Ryan?” Veronica asked Suria first.
"There is no direct news, but something must have been gained." Su Liya's sea-blue eyes were full of confidence in her husband: "We have been here for half a day.

The rat tide hasn't come yet, it's impossible that they haven't found us, and the two dimensional lightning cannons that have captured the barracks have also disappeared. "
"The Duke of Montfort cannot send troops to come to support." Teresa shook her head, and the sorcerer whispered: "The Principality of Montfort was also attacked by the scavengers. Two villages were attacked. The Duke of Vorcade himself is leading the knights. We fought the rat people, and they replied that there was no way to support us."
"Cunning rats, they must have sent a team to contain Fulkad's energy." Veronica rolled her eyes, and she first arranged: "So, Mrs. Suria, I will trouble you this time."
"You said, what should I do, I listen." Su Liya is very enlightened. The female knight knows that her wild adventure experience and familiarity with Skaven are not as good as Veronica. , She decided to listen to the opinion of the witch, as to whether to obey or not.
"Mrs. Suria, you are beautiful, you are born noble, and you have the most luxurious equipment. What you have to do is sit in the town hall." Veronica said first: "The refugees saw a marquise, Brittany The great nobleman and the countess of Ryan will live and die with them, and they will definitely be calm. First of all, everyone will believe Ryan will definitely return. He may not save these refugees, but he will never abandon his wife! Suria Madam, you have to speak more and use slogans more inspiring."
"Okay, I understand." Su Liya nodded.
"Trovic, what you have to do is to use the ice wall to seal some corners of the entire Church of Justice, but don't seal them all, leaving the church door behind. We have to let the scavengers attack directly from the stairs at the entrance of the church. We, in addition to releasing the ice wall, you must pay attention to saving magic power, and don't release large spells unless you have to." Veronica then ordered.
"I see." Teresa also nodded.
"Then... go to Mr. Eber, let him lead the paladins to patrol the basement, and make sure that there will be no ratman units attacking the inside of the church from the basement. The Demon Hunter is best at and familiar with this kind of task, and he will surely complete it successfully. ."
"Let the captain of the empire, Huber, use explosives to blow down half of the stairs at the entrance of the church. Remember that half, not all. All the collapse will only make the Ratman find another way. After the collapse is half, let the two Rick guards. Your Excellency led the musketeers, swordsmen, and pikemen at the door of the stairs and the church."
"Finally, Miss Silvia, if you find a way to get the servants to spread rumors among the refugees, you say that the large army of reinforcements from Emperor Karl-Franz is already coming here, and the Emperor's army will solve it once and for all. The threat of the rat people, refugees need this kind of rumors, it will calm them down."
"clear!"
In accordance with Veronica's instructions, Su Liya gave an exciting speech. As the Marquise of Winford, she naturally knew how to inspire, her beautiful appearance, golden equipment and burning flames. The sword inspired the morale of all survivors.
There was even news from the refugees that the emperor’s reinforcements were already on the way. The inside of the church was sure enough, and the morale of the soldiers was restored. Under the command of the Rick Guards, they deployed defenses in an orderly manner and formed positions to resist the rats. People’s offensive, while looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements.
Two hours later.
"Boom~Boom~Boom~" The burning bell in Hemgart rang again! Afterwards, countless Skaven rat people chattering and restlessly heard from the whole city, in the mine, in the sewer, in the basement, thousands of rat people appeared again.
The rat tide is here again! ! !
