The Lion King of Middenland, Warhammer

Chapter 124 Raven's Rage

() "May the glory of the God-Emperor bless the brave warriors, and may the wrath of the God-Emperor burn the foul Chaos!"

Two burly Sigmar battle-priests swung their forty-pound steel polearms and charged into the Chaos formation with earth-shattering battle cries.They were all bald, wearing shiny full-body armor trimmed with red, with thick parchment sacred books hanging on their chests with silver chains, and the shining runes of the holy words of Sigmar were on brown book covers bordered with silver. jumping up.The crimson light swung and spun along with their warhammers, spreading the flesh and blood of the Chaos Riders like a canvas.

These two valiant battle-priests inspired the hearts of all pilgrims and swordsmen alike, as they uttered their battle cry in unison as they charged across the fields of smoke and snow.Their long swords cut into the legs of their enemies' horses, their flails danced like a whirlwind and knocked their enemies off their horses, and they fought like lions.They frantically pursued the fleeing Kulgan Qingqi, and gradually distanced themselves from the main formation.

"The swordsmen and pilgrims chased a little far away, this will give the enemy a chance. Send a signal to let them come back!"

Old Loren frowned suddenly, and his voice was dignified.The burly knight of the red-armored black horse galloped forward two steps, drew out his blood-colored giant sword, and the tall black horse neighed joyfully as it felt its master's fighting spirit, and its giant hooves stomped on the ground. ring.

Almost at the moment when Old Loren gave the warning, the signal flags in the central phalanx were eagerly waved a few times, accompanied by the loud and hasty sound of horns and the shouts of officers. The commander of the central yang phalanx is not a fool, he understands the meaning of advancing and retreating.In fact, the commander of this phalanx is the Baron of Stillland, a high-ranking knight and a priest, and an old officer with more than ten years of war experience.But in the fierce battle just now, he and his guard archers were all in the formation, and they didn't see any outstanding performance from them.

"Swordsmen, retreat to the phalanx! Musketeers, line up! Cavalry, advance!"

The military order is urgent, but the response takes time.The swordsmen understood the meaning of this military order, they quickly stopped and began to retreat.But another group of people did not, because the pilgrims were not real soldiers, and they were difficult to control.

"Holy Sigma! O Supreme God-Emperor! Holy be your name, and may your words be done on earth!"

The eyes of the Sigmar War Priest were ablaze, and the pilgrims answered with frantic cries.These warriors, dressed in black short robes with the Holy Cross of Sigma painted on them, with various armors and weapons, have completely entered a state of rage and intoxication, completely unable to listen to the sound of horns and the restraint of military orders.The retreat of the Chaos Kulgan made them extremely excited, making them rush into the billowing snow and smoke even more frantically.

"God bless you! The two heroic holy combat priests and the noble pilgrim ascetics are from the area around the autonomous commercial metropolis of Mariaburg in the west. They have no experience in fighting the cunning nomadic Kugans. Your Highness Hyde, please let me take fifty cavalry to meet them! Otherwise, something will happen!"

Cheetah Knight Marshall raised his flag spear and galloped forward. The tall red-haired knight had an anxious look on his face.Marshall is a person who has seen the world. He has experienced the epic and tragic ambush in the Ugolan Valley, and he is very clear about Chaos tactics, so he is also very anxious.Although his own combat strength is mediocre, he is a good player in grasping the situation and situation of the battle.

"I'll go with you!"

It was Hyde's short voice, and he couldn't bear it anymore.Theoretically, although this young divinely favored person is the temporary captain of the "Fourth Death Battalion", because the current specific command of the southern phalanx was handed over to Cicero by the old Loren, the artillery also belonged to the army. Now that the Wing Headquarters is directly under him, the only troops he can manage are the more than 200 cavalry around him.Of course, he will not take all the cavalry, because the responsibility of the reserve team is still very important.

"Your Excellency Loren, I will take Marshall, Tenan and other [-] cavalry to respond to the center line battlefield. Please continue to bring the main cavalry to stay here, that's all!"

Hyde's movements were faster than his voice.He saluted Old Loren lightning-fast, and then immediately spurred his horse and ran towards the smoky battlefield ahead with the flag and spear held high.Fleur also rode his horse to follow closely beside him, while Tenan and Marshall distanced themselves from each other, one on the left and one on the right galloped, and more than sixty cavalrymen followed at a fast pace, their swords and spears were in the air. A layer of shimmering traces bathed in the sun.

But in a sense, their attack was too late, because the Chaos army will not miss any opportunity.Almost at the same time as Hyde and the others attacked, a large number of heavily armored Chaos Lancers suddenly roared out of the snow, dust and smoke like lightning, and slammed into the chaotic pilgrim queue like a terrifying giant axe. Set off a rain of blood and screams!

Horseshoes trampled heads, flag spears pierced bodies, maces swayed death storms, and triangular sentry flags decorated with skeletons screamed in the wind.The power of the heavy armored cavalry is terrifying, just at the moment of impact, hundreds of pilgrims were trampled down, strangled to death, and even knocked into the air!Leaving the array and fortifications on the plain is death, and the pilgrims wrote down this painful lesson again with their blood.

But the fanatical pilgrims were hard to admit defeat. They uttered their battle horns furiously, and brandished their flails and battle axes almost in vain to charge towards the rolling armored cavalry.Some people lowered their bodies and hacked at the horse's legs, some desperately grabbed the thrusting spears, and some even tried to jump on the horse's back even more frantically, but all of this was in front of the wall of armored cavalry rushing neatly. Invalid!The whistling flag spears pierced them in pieces, the armored horses knocked them down, and the heavy hoofs trampled their bodies. Their bones were broken, and their flesh and blood splattered.

It was the Kugan light cavalry who retreated just now that put an end to this short encounter. Although these lightning-fast riders suffered heavy casualties under the guns, they retreated for a while.But the purple chaotic magic demon snake shot from behind cheered them up again, and let out a fanatical cry like a gust of wind to kill the backs of the ranks of pilgrims who were fighting hard.Their arrows fell to the ground in hordes of ascetics, and their sabers and lances scattered flowers of blood through the chaotic throng.This terrible back attack completely shattered the will of the pilgrims, they completely collapsed, and scattered towards the phalanx and artillery positions in a chaotic manner.

"Damn it, they're blocking the range of our artillery, are you going to shoot?"

Tellius swung the saber in his hand fiercely, and couldn't help cursing.The second wave of shotgun shells for each gun position has been loaded, but how to fire in this situation?Is it possible to shoot the holy Sigma ascetics?This is an unimaginable taboo. Although most of these artillerymen are soldiers of Tubalo Principality, not believers of Sigma, it is inevitable to cast a mouse.

"Well...don't fire yet, I'll go support them!"

Catherine bit her lip, sweat beaded on her brow.After a moment of silence, the red-haired princess shook her long hair, drew out her sword, and was about to rush towards the chaotic clouds of smoke and the crowd ahead.The golden halo swirled on her exquisite armor, giving this beautiful and scantily clad girl a layer of divine luster.

"If you don't obey the order, you have violated the sacred military code. If you run away in front of the enemy, you will lose all your status and qualifications. Cowards who abandon the holy priest and flee are no longer the ascetic monks of the emperor. I authorize you to punish with lead bullets and fire Cowards and enemies! Shoot! This is the order of the deputy commander of the wing!"

A deep and majestic voice sounded, it was a strange voice, the surprised red-haired girl stopped her footsteps, and hurriedly looked back.

"I am the captain of the first brigade and the deputy head of the regiment. Your Excellency the General authorized me to make the appropriate decisions. The maid of His Highness Hyde and Princess Tubaro, there is no need for you to sympathize with the coward who has lost his dignity, shoot !"

This voice cannot be questioned, the owner of this voice is a knight in black armor holding a bow, the white eagle wings are flapping on the top of his helmet, and the skull mask drawn to his forehead is inlaid with shining obsidian.Twenty black-armored knights in the same attire stood behind him holding bows, with angry eyes burning under the masks of skulls and ravens.
