Warhammer: Return of the Dragon.

Why are rat people so powerful?

Bizarre magic and engineering; miraculous assassination methods; evil technology that twists the flesh...

Neither. It is a number that cannot be underestimated.

Compared to other races, the physiological structure of the ratmen is very special. If there is enough food, they can give birth to a large number of cubs in a short period of time and send them to the battlefield within a few months after birth.

It would take at least a hundred years for an elf's most basic militia to leave the safety of the archer ranks and pick up the spear and shield that symbolize courage.

If you give the lowest mouse a crude short blade and a tattered shield, it can be called a "soldier". It can be used as cannon fodder to delay time while alive, and can be turned into food to feed the clan after death.

But when they came to Ulthuan, this island that had never been touched by rats, the Skaven suffered a lot. The Council of Thirteen cooperated with the plan of the Horned God with desperate courage and stuffed the elite of each clan into the submarine. There was no place for cannon fodder here.

When the ratmen who had traveled in the deep sea for too long came to a battlefield full of food, their hunger had diluted their desire to fight. Some storm rats that lacked leadership due to the death of their leader were already devouring the tender flesh and blood of the elves.

This made Tyrion, who witnessed it with his own eyes, extremely angry. When the red-skinned ratmen broke through the Sea Guard's defense line, the scarlet guards in the rear picked up the elves' limbs in an orderly manner, and even ate them while marching and fighting...

The Scarlet Guards, numbering over a hundred, showed no fear when facing the tall and mighty Silver-helmeted Knights. As the guards of the warlord Moss Clan, they had experienced countless battles in the World's Edge Mountains and faced countless attacks from the greenskinned war pigs.

The elves are all just for show, except for the fancy guy with two lizard wings on his head. This is the purpose of the Moss clan.

Tyrion found Queek, the rat still swinging his weapon like a madman without any reason...

Quick was excited, and when he was chosen by the Horned Rat to be part of the plan, he took the Scarlet Guard on a submarine to the Pointy-Eared Thing Island, determined to obtain the title of Supreme Warlord of the Council of Thirteen.

The red-skinned ratman's chisel easily punched a big hole in a pointy-eared head. This evil weapon, which was specially used to penetrate the dwarf's meteorite plate armor, was extremely sharp. He had not yet found armor that could directly withstand a blow from the dwarf's chisel.

The dimensional stone armor forged at the bottom of the withered swamp exudes an ominous aura, corroding the vitality of the surrounding pointed ears and making Quick more fanatical.

He stepped on the chest of the pointy-eared corpse and opened his hands wide, declaring the power of the Skaven.

"Moss clan, yes, yes!"

There were cavalry attacking, but Quick was not panicking at all. He seized the opportunity and leaped towards the pointy-eared creatures who were leading the group and wearing exaggerated winged helmets.

If you haven't heard of him, he must be a weakling!
Tyrion, who seldom deals with rats, has a low rating in the Rat Council, who think he is just a stronger warrior. Now that the Dragon Prince is no longer present on the Isle of Death, the Horned God is bound to come.

This contempt made Quick leap forward to attack, only to be met with Tyrion's roar. The descendant of Aenarion could no longer suppress the rage in his heart, and the howl of the banshee terrified all the warriors.

"For Ulthuan! For the Phoenix King!"

Tyrion's sword swept across, and collided with the dwarven chisel and the goblin tearer. Quick's expected move to continue the momentum and defeat the elves did not happen. Tyrion's physique was amazing. The blood of Aenarion gave him unparalleled energy, and his body reshaped by the holy fire of Asuryan made up for his fatal flaw, which was the lack of means to deal with magic and witchcraft.

The Flame Sword followed the will of its master, and a large ball of flame as hot as the sun burst out. With a low roar, Tyrion knocked Quick away with a single hand.

The flying Skaven warlord felt as if his arm was about to break. His strong body among the Skaven made him look like a hungry skinny boy when facing Tyrion.

But this is not over yet, the Scarlet Guard rushed towards Tyrion, vowing to kill the warlord's enemies with their lives. With the blessing of the warhorse, Tyrion was as fast as the wind, and the flaming wind brought by each swing of the sword would cut the red-armored ratmen in half and turn them into pieces of stinking charred meat.

The silver-helmeted knights followed the footsteps of their commander and cooperated with him tacitly... but there was no tacit cooperation. The most common thing the silver-helmeted knights under Tyrion did was to follow the figures of the descendants of Aenarion and charge across the battlefield.

Quick was in danger. When the Skryre Clan's warpstone machine gun aimed at Tyrion, thousands of glowing bullets turned his horse into a sieve, but Tyrion was not hurt at all.

After losing his warhorse, Tyrion's roar became more and more furious. He vaguely recalled some things. The descendant of the father of ten thousand horses seemed to have left in the same way.

"what!!"

The power of Asuryan could not suppress Tyrion's excitement. When his feet stepped on the ground, he turned from a commander into a warrior.

The speed of the slashing of the Flaming Sun Sword has changed from calm to a violent storm, and the blood-stained winged helmet is covered with fragments, making Tyrion's handsome face even more terrifying.

When Quick found Tyrion again, relying on the cover of the Scarlet Guard, he hid in the sea of ​​red, and took the opportunity when Tyrion thrust his sword forward, and in one fell swoop he slashed at the dwarf's back.

The powerful metallic echo and Quick's throbbing arm indicated that the attack was ineffective.

Dragon Armor, this incredible protective gear, is a divine weapon that strikes fear into the hearts of countless Chaos creatures and symbolizes the pinnacle of the elves' forging technology.

Even in the civil war, there were only a few people who could penetrate the dragon armor and cause substantial damage to Kane's incarnation...

Tyrion turned his gaze back, his eyes were cold but full of murderous intent and anger, which made Quick feel for the first time what fear was.

Aenarion, the honorable guardian of Ulthuan, has been transformed into the Phoenix King's executioner, the death bird of Asuryan...

The sharp blade of the Flaming Sun Sword slashed towards Queek behind Tyrion...

Alfonso turned his greatsword over, and the desolate Island of Death quickly turned into a gloomy and terrifying withered swamp.

The old Chosen One seemed to have aged ten years due to this action, and his cheeks had more wrinkles.

Talarian's lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to persuade Alfonso that there was no need to overdraw his strength...

But when he saw the scene revealed in the sword, he was speechless.

169 Grey Prophets gathered in a deep canyon, praying and infusing strength into a giant magnetic bell in the center. From time to time, horned ratmen fell down and turned into sacrifices for giant horned rats to infiltrate the mortal world.

Thick wires extend from the ground and connect to the base of the magnet clock...

Alfonso panted, leaning on his sword: "Talarion... every ceremony you performed, the power was stolen by the ratmen... The reason why Imrik refused your call to the soul of the Phoenix King is probably because he already knew this.

He is a benevolent monarch who chose to resist the danger of the horned evil god in the most tenacious way... But you, maybe you have no responsibility, but everyone needs to understand the value of sacrifice."

"The value of sacrifice..." Talarion lowered his head. Now the only way to stop the arrival of the Great Horned Rat is for him to enter the Maelstrom with the old woman's staff and put an end to the prophecy that has not yet been fulfilled... (End of this chapter)
