Chapter 429 Skaven under Itaza.
A leading plague priest used his slender claws to push aside a sword-leaf bush that was as tall as a man. He looked at the towering city wall not far away and the surrounding outside the city wall. Disgusted by the holy aura, he couldn't help shouting excitedly,
"We are here, yes, yes. Under the protection of the Archhorn God, we are here!"
If Minas Nir was present, he would have seen this plague priest at first sight It was the chief plague priest who it had been looking for for a long time and considered to be the sixth sacrifice.
Over the course of several years, an extremely long hollow tunnel was dug out of Sotek's Spine.
After Negrich discovered that the City in the Sky had become a real meat-mincing battlefield, he chose an extremely risky action. .
More than 100,000 slave rats are digging day and night from the southern end of Sotek's Ridge to the north. The Plague Lord's original plan was to personally lead the army and send the deadly plague to Itaza, in order to have an ultimate battle with the Lizardmen. A change of behavior would make the Horned Rat focus on Pestilen again.
However, the convening of the Skaven Demon City Council caused many variables in this operation. A large number of rat fleets from the old world were intercepted by the Etain navy, but Tyrion probably never dreamed that a fleet carrying Submarines carrying the elite troops of the major clans have passed through the blockade and successfully arrived in Lustria.
And Imric did not expect that these rats on the submarine would bypass the Dusk Fortress and choose to land from the west of Lustria. Even though the Dragon Prince held the most terrifying sea monster Amarna in his hands, The ancient sea dragon's cruising area was not very wide, allowing a submarine force to successfully land.
The Chief Plague Priest took out an item from the dirt-covered shroud, a dimension stone composed of the turbidest chaotic energy, an artifact given by the Great Horned Rat himself.
It was this artifact and the Gray Prophet's spell that allowed Pestilon to escape the magical perception network from the abandoned temple city of Ashoto and successfully reach the city of Itaza.
The slender claws pressed on this dimensional stone amulet with thirteen water chestnuts. The Chief Plague Priest's skin, which was originally full of chickenpox and boils, quickly withered and turned black. The same goes for this dimensional stone amulet, which was wrapped in pure green. With a black spot.
The plague was injected into this dimensional stone amulet. After the death of the chief plague priest, a ratman wrapped in black cloth took over the amulet. He only appeared for less than half a second and disappeared again.
The Death Master is the absolute core of this operation. When the Pestilen Plague Rats and the elite troops of the major clans support the city's defenders, he will send artifacts full of plague and chaotic energy to the core of Itaza Areas, whether it is the Great Pyramid indicated by the Horned Rat, or the hatching pool, are all places to choose from.
A very bloated rat man carried an extra-large halberd and rode an equally strong giant nest rat. He took over the position of commander. His mottled brown skin was covered with various scars, except for one of his right eyes. It is full of ferocity, and the half-cut tail is also full of various scars.
Pasclit, a warlord who survived the war between the Skaven and Nagash. After killing the most powerful mage under the Undead Archmage, he became the most reliable servant of the Gray Prophet clan. In the Council of Thirteen Ranked fourth.
"Members of the Skuri clan, bring up your stuff, bring it up." Paskrit's hoarse voice seemed particularly low. As a ratman whose lifespan far exceeds that of other compatriots, he cherishes himself more than any other ratman. s life.
But this time the mission was the oracle of the Great Horned Rat. The leader of the Grin clan, who was on the same level as him, used the excuse of resisting the dwarves and chaos dwarves and stabilizing the power of the rat people in the world's edge mountains and the dark land, and just let the most elite Death Disaster The group arrived in Lustria.
But this does not mean that this battle-experienced rat warlord does not have the courage to fight for his life. After all, the sacred seal of the horned rat always reminds him that if he flinches even a little, death is just a better end. Under the order of the Marshal of the Demon Rat Army, fifteen simple war machines were pushed forward by the slave rats. An extra-large dimension stone was placed behind the gun mount. The gun barrel and energy source were connected by a manufactured A crude brass sphere.
Without anyone's reminder, when they felt this unheard-of cannon approaching, the black-furred rats around them automatically moved away, even the Storm Rats from the Skry clan.
Only the engineering warlock who was not afraid of death walked to the operating platform next to the giant warpstone. After correcting the target area with his engineering auxiliary aiming eyes, he laughed and pressed the operating lever to inject the energy of the warpstone into the brass sphere.
The flowing energy poured into the copper ball, and after passing through the surrounding restrainers, formed a green sphere at the front end of the thick and long muzzle.
The ground of the energy cannon began to tremble, and so did the gun mount that served as the launcher. Under the strong chaotic energy, everything around began to shake violently.
All the ratmen are praying that this attack will be effective, not only because it can break the towering city wall, but also to protect their lives.
The Ratmen present have all seen the power of the Skulli clan's weapons, but this power is often relative. Improper operation does not apply to the Ratmen, because the weapon itself is highly unstable. Not only can it kill enemy troops, it can also cause serious casualties to your own people.
Green rays of light appeared from the top of the energy cannon and shot straight towards the Itaza city wall within the attack range. The trees and bushes that were too close along the way immediately turned into a lifeless mass of withered objects.
Bursts of explosions came from Itaza's towering city wall, and fifteen energy cannons hit three locations. However, even the city wall blessed by the ancient saint seemed unable to withstand such serious damage, and large pieces of rubble fell to the ground. , if you look closely, you will find that the place where the green beam disappears continues to turn black, and the dimensional energy is constantly devouring all objects it encounters.
The sound of explosions came not only from Itaza's city wall, but also from the rat army. Under the care of the Great Horned Rat, only one cannon exploded on the spot, turning all objects within thirty meters around it. Become a fan and disappear from this world.
Pasclit felt secretly happy for a moment. The worst-case scenario was that five cannons would be scrapped at once. He knew how unreliable these experimental weapons were, but it seemed that the steel rat in Mosquita did not lie to him. , with just one volley, no matter how strong the city wall is, it can't stop the crazy inventions of the Scully clan.
"Skuri's men continue to attack the city wall, the plague monks attack, the storm rats cover the two sides, and the monsters stay in the middle." Paskrit gave the order, and then used the end of the halberd to beat the still-moving nest. Giant Rat, as the first member of the Thirteen Council to go into battle.
"The Horned Rat walks among us!"
