The Lion King of Middenland, Warhammer

() "So you need to seize the opportunity to replenish some physical strength. Of course, we also need it. The citizens of Tyrell will die with dignity even if they die, but no enemy can defeat the citizens of Tyrell who are full."

Jerome laughed happily, dragged out a piece of steamed and fragrant ham from another waist pocket, and handed it to Marshall, then took out a piece himself, and ate it with big mouthfuls.This ham was steamed by Tubalo's army chef before departure in the morning. Tubalo, a small and wealthy city-state, is very particular about food.

In fact, although the Federation of Tyrell, located on the hot peninsula in the south of the empire, is a vassal of the empire, it recognizes the supreme imperial power of the holy emperor of the empire and accepts the title bestowed by the emperor.But in fact, their domestic system is very different from that of the elector principalities of the empire.Most of these small federated countries dotted around are republics or autonomous cities. There are no hereditary earls or princes who can promise everything, only elected rulers or governors.All the citizens of each city-state are called citizens, and the power is greater than that of the parliament, which is called the ruler or governor.

Tubalo is different from other Tiril countries in name. He is not a republic, but a small principality with a prince as the leader of the country.But in fact, Tubaro's system is not much different from other republics, and his city citizen council is the highest administrative and legal institution.The prince is also just a military leader and ceremonial monarch without administrative power, and is divided into several major branch families, often relying on fierce elections and competitions to compete for the throne.It's not a world where one family can dominate.

Therefore, for the Tubaro people, the parliamentary guard is their most elite unit, and half of the current Tubaro army is composed of the parliamentary guard.In fact, the 400-member Tubaro Parliamentary Guard dispatched 8000 people in this jihad, which is considered a big deal.In comparison, the principality army with a total of 360 people sent [-] selected fighters, and the three major branches of the prince's family each sent [-] warriors, the ratio is much smaller.However, these fighters are also carefully selected soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is not much worse than that of the city guards, not to mention that there is a powerful middle-level metal-type battle mage among them.

Just as the southern phalanx where Marshall was located temporarily entered the short-lived peace between the wars, the Kislev car battalion array on the north side of the coalition's position had already turned into a boiling cauldron of flesh and blood.Ten of nine of the four-wheeled chariots on the front were on fire, and there were continuous violent explosion sounds, and flames and smoke rose up.And the huge black figure and large cavalry were mixed in it, screams, roars, roars of wild beasts and fierce gunshots, like a sulfur hell filled with smoke and clouds.

In fact, under the first two waves of attacks by the Chaos cavalry, Kislev's chariot position was once as secure as Mount Tai.Dozens of four-wheeled chariots surrounded by one-and-a-half-inch-thick oak planks lined up and were linked together with strong iron chains, like a small moving city.Hundreds of muzzles and crossbows protruded from the firing holes, repeatedly spewing out rainstorms of lead bullets and bolts, knocking down the chaotic light cavalry.And a large number of melee infantry armed with halberds, spears, and long-handled swords hide behind the chariot, and at any time they will fiercely attack the Chaos infantry trying to climb over the iron chain.

This excellent defense is so perfect, coupled with the effective support of the centerline artillery fire, the field city of this car camp has formed an almost indestructible position.After the two fierce battles, the defenders in the position had almost no decent casualties, but the Chaos cavalry left hundreds of dead horses and retreated hastily, dragging the corpses of their comrades who died in battle.This caused thunderous cheers in the wagon battalion, and the Chaos Riders all took their breath away.

But the change of things is always unexpected, and the third wave of the Chaos army's offensive was launched soon.A large group of light cavalry pulled branches behind their backs, burning smoke and roaring towards them. The snow dust and smoke they raised almost made people unable to see the sun, and the short-barreled copper cannons and muskets on the chariot position could only be shot in confusion. hit.But the problem is that these light cavalry circled repeatedly a hundred paces away from the car camp in a very scattered formation, and made a large-scale detour to the north wing of the car camp.Their distance exceeded the effective range of the muskets, wasting a lot of ammunition, and also made the soldiers who couldn't see the results become irritable.

Successive victories and insignificant losses made the commander of the battalion dizzy.This middle-level ice and snow battle mage gave up his defense, confidently summoned his huge ice and snow bear spirit, and led [-] Ugole cavalry to swarm out, directly attacking the chaotic light cavalry that was as annoying as flies.The red Kislev Battle Banner of Twin Bears was flying in front of them, as if to herald the arrival of victory.

But unfortunately, this light cavalry was just a cover to attract attention, and it was the war beasts and trolls led by Chaos Priestess Alyssa who really dealt the fatal blow.These huge monsters approached covertly in the smoke and dust raised by the cavalry, and then suddenly launched a fierce counterattack, rushing into the panicked crowd like a bull. The evil magic purple demon snake and flames marched side by side with them, tearing apart the bloody and flying tracks in the ranks of Ugoer cavalry.

The four-meter-high monster threw the entire war horse fiercely, and the hundreds of pounds of black iron maces beat the cavalry like stones.The terrifying Chaos Hounds also frantically pounced and bited, and the blood mist they exploded when they exploded carried the breath of death.After a period of futile and tragic resistance, most of the Wugoers collapsed under the attack of the beast army and the chaos cavalry, and fled in panic.

But the heroic Kislev ice and snow battle mage and his spirit bear still risked their lives to charge and kill among the chaotic herd of beasts, and blood rained everywhere where his red bear battle flag pointed.Two trolls and several war rhinos were knocked down by his cold frost battle ax one after another, and the Chaos cavalry who swarmed up also suffered heavy casualties amid the roar of Spirit Bear.But the dense evil fire hit him repeatedly, and finally broke through his defensive barrier. Alessa's chaotic halberd suddenly pierced his neck, and the bear spirit, which lost its master, also collapsed into an ice and snow body mince.His head was held and waved by the fit Chaos Priestess, and his military flag was thrown in front of the car camp to show the might of Chaos.

Amidst the cheers of hundreds of Chaos cavalry, six Chaos trolls and twelve woolly rhinoceros uttered terrifying battle roars, braved a torrential rain of lead bullets, overturned seven or eight carriages, and opened the front of the phalanx. a huge gap.They and their beastmen roared and rushed in, throwing the infantry and cavalry like puppets.Chaos cavalry also seized the opportunity to swarm in, shooting death arrows, brandishing scimitars and flag spears, and seeing that the chariot camp on the north wing was about to collapse completely.

But a brave junior Kislev officer changed everything. He was seriously wounded and looked at the Chaos cavalry swarming around him, and without hesitation lit the powder keg on the tattered chariot.There was a loud noise, and gunpowder smoke rose, and the chaos cavalry and chaos hounds either fell in the thick smoke and shrapnel, or fled in embarrassment covered with fire.The rhinos suddenly went crazy, and even three of the trolls were turned into torches, wielding maces and attacking indiscriminately everywhere. Their terrified screams almost tore people's eardrums.

However, this magnificent scene soon became bigger and bigger, and the raging fire set almost all the twenty chariots on the front of the car camp defense on fire.Flames and explosions came and went one after another, and the entire northern front line burned like a volcano.The soldiers on both sides suffered heavy casualties, and the mad chaotic furry rhinos trampled on them equally, biting a hapless guy with their sharp teeth from time to time to vent their burning pain.The trolls came to their senses under the magical attacks of the Chaos Witch and the Beastmaster, avoided the fire, and continued to attack the two wings of the volcanic phalanx.

Because of the reason for covering the baggage train, these phalanxes are not hollow, and there are many baggage carriages stuffed inside, which become the best bunker for the defenders.They fought desperately, with muskets, crossbows, halberds and flame bottles, beating the chaotic trolls and cavalry hard.And the coachmen, servants, and even the mistresses and peddlers all enthusiastically picked up all available weapons and fought hard.There is no way to retreat and no way to escape on this snowfield battlefield thousands of miles away from home. No one wants to become the rations and excrement of chaotic beasts in vain.Even if you die, you have to die with human dignity!

But their resistance was powerless in the face of the reorganized trolls and cavalry.Carriages were pushed down one after another, and human heads and stumps flew randomly in the flames. There were not many infantry in this camp, and they suffered heavy casualties under the fierce attack of Chaos. The resistance of non-combatants was limited. .Only the more than a hundred mercenaries led by the illegitimate son of the Elector of Avalan could fight in a relatively organized manner, but they were also overwhelmed by the onslaught of beasts and cavalry, and they seemed to be unable to hold on. .

"The tenacity of these unbelievers really exceeded my imagination. But this is also good. Completing the sacrifice on the battlefield is more valuable than cutting up those cowardly captives after the battle. The more tenacious the warrior, his blood will be dedicated to the supreme The weight of the god of beauty is the heavier. My herd of beasts and my halberd can defeat powerful enemies, and I look down on those who only do some boring behavior."

The leader of thousands of Kugan, the mid-level beast-type chaos priestess Alesha raised her barbed double-pronged spear and swung it twice in the air, then put her hand on her cheek and watched the tragic scene with great interest. Kislev's Battlemage's head was hung by her waist, and a triumphant smile appeared on her beautiful cheeks.
