The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 154 Breakthrough!
For Tyrfing, who was covered in armor and couldn't even stretch his hands and feet, the means of attack was limited to one word,

Collide!
Other than that, any bells and whistles don't make sense.

When this seemingly heavy thing started to run, Ickert was really taken aback.

What kind of strength is needed to support the high-speed advancement of the several tons of bodies.

Originally, Ickert thought that it was a miracle for this guy to just stand up.

I didn't expect to be able to run.

"What are the artillerymen doing? Keep firing!"

Ickert yelled at the Artillery Rat, who was also looking dumbfounded. This was the first time they shot such a fast-moving target.

Even though he knew that the next shelling would probably be empty, the Artillery Rat tried to aim at the past according to Ickert's order.

However, due to various technical reasons, they could not even quickly adjust the depression angle of the artillery.

Three shells passed Tierfeng's side, and Ickert was anxious to see the artillery that was unable to hit.

Especially the wedge adjustment mechanism, which is really annoying to see.

If you are rushed by that thing
Ickert stepped on the rammed earth turret under his feet. With this thing alone, he couldn't withstand the impact of a mecha.

"Come here, raise the cannon!"

At the critical juncture, Ickert gathered all the battalion rats and gave up the unreliable wedge. A dozen rat men and the warrior rat Genil lifted the gun mount.

At this time, Tierfeng was already close to the thorn net defense line. To hit him, the cannon needed an unusual depression angle.

After owning the rat force pitching machine, the artillery team's aiming became much easier.

Another shell escaped, and the 45mm solid bullet grazed Tyrfing's shoulder shield again. Although it didn't make him lose his balance, it also slightly changed the direction of his charge.

While everyone on the fort breathed a sigh of relief, they also quickly reset the cannon.

Even if there are more than a dozen Dali ratmen, and Genil, the new warrior mouse, the recoil of the 45mm gun is still not so easy to resist.

The rats who raised the gun mounts were all shocked, and Genier was almost thrown out.

But for their own lives, they must insist on shooting.

After one shell passed, the fast-running Tyrfing had already rushed through the thorn net defense line, and waded through the defense line to create a two-man wide passageway.

Seeing this, Ickert immediately made the messenger mice around him move.

"Immediately order the third and fourth brigades! Concentrate firepower on that passage, and no matter what happens in the rear! You must wait for the order to retreat!"

"Yes, clan chief!"

The orderly mouse was so anxious that he rolled and scrambled towards the slope, and it could be seen that he did not dare to stay on the fort for a moment.

"This bastard!"

Ickert cursed, and then ordered to the artillery team behind him:

"Load the dimensional armor-piercing projectile!"

"Follow the clan chief, load the dimensional armor-piercing bullet!"

The Ratman who was in charge of carrying the ammunition quickly took out a cone-shaped projectile from a wooden box.

The style of this cannonball is incompatible with the Sassamaria cannon, which mainly fires solid bullets, but it means the development direction of future cannonballs.

All the dimensional armor-piercing bullets were polished by the old fitter to fit the barrel perfectly, so loading it even needs to be poked in like loading a gun.

The advantage is that at close range, the accuracy of the warpstone armor-piercing projectile is very guaranteed.

While Ickert was busy loading his trump card, Tyrfing also rushed in front of the trench.

Seeing this scene, the Ratmen on the defensive line couldn't help but gloated.

The defensive trench was four meters wide, and connected to it was a two-meter soil slope filled with bamboo thorns.

It's not easy to get over from here.

"I bet two catties of wolf man's shoulder meat, this clumsy iron guy can't get up!"

"It's a boring bet, you know he can't make it."

Obviously, this strong line of defense gave the Ratman great confidence.

In the eyes of all the ratmen, Tyrfing would soon fall into the ditch.

But at this moment, Tierfeng's pace suddenly became regular, as if he wanted to control his pace.

That feeling, like calculating which foot to use to jump out
Twenty meters, ten meters, Tierfeng steadily approached the trench.

The Ratmen froze nervously, expecting him to fall below.

However, just a second before Tyrfing was about to run into the ditch, he jumped up under the inconceivable eyes of the rat people!

A thing that is covered in iron armor and weighs several tons can jump?

This unscientific!

A huge black shadow passed over the rat people's heads, and its huge body smashed straight into the farmland filled with river water, splashing quite a spectacular splash.

Being so easily broken through by a mecha, the terrified Ratmen didn't want to do it on the spot.

"What, what should we do, shall we withdraw?"

"That goes without saying, it must be moistened! We don't have weapons to deal with that thing!"

"No way, he has already circled behind the defense line. Let's throw three stones casually, which is considered worthy of the clan leader."

"But the clan leader wants us to retreat after receiving orders"

Seeing that the morale of the army was shaken, the leading clan rat made a decisive decision, drew out a long knife, and beheaded a defeatist on the spot.

Just kidding, if the rats under his hands run away, who will fight for the glory and wealth of these officers?
"Stay steady! Whoever retreats! The end will be to be killed by me! Or be turned into a roast mouse by the clan chief!"

Under the violent suppression of the clan rats and the pacesetter rats, the third and fourth brigades survived with great difficulty.

The scene of the army's shaken spirit was seen by Ickert, and there was a burst of rat heads on the slope, obviously chaos occurred.

The collapse of the army is often in an instant, and Ickert knows that in order to stabilize morale, he must cause some substantial damage to that machine.

"Fire! He's stuck in the mud, Sasha, you shoot the Dimensional Lightning Cannon too!"

Taking advantage of Tierfeng's fighter plane smashed into the quagmire, all the firepower that could be found in the territory was poured on him.

A dimensional lightning cannon hit Tyrfeng's body, scorching the armor black and corroding the steel on the surface.

Several rounds of jeweled crossbow arrows also landed around Tyrfing one after another, and when they exploded, huge splashes were made, shattering the edges and corners of the armor plate.

And after the successive bombings, the Dimension Stone armor-piercing bombs also arrived as scheduled.

As soon as the armor-piercing projectile with a muzzle velocity as high as 765m/s came into contact with the slightly inclined shield, the angle of incidence was corrected by the hood and pierced the armor layer on the surface.

Between the cap layer and the core layer of the warp stone armor-piercing projectile, a large amount of high-density river sand is also filled (to increase the kinetic energy of the projectile).

This makes the quilt cap, which is already harder than the inferior armor of the wolf man, send the deadly warpstone bullet core to a deeper depth.

Sparks bounced off Tyrfing's gun mantlet. Even though the slightly inclined 40mm armor plate had a higher equivalent thickness, it was still mercilessly penetrated by Warpstone armor-piercing shells.
