The Lion King of Middenland, Warhammer

Chapter 43 The Shadow of Victory

() Bullets are pouring like rain, arrows and javelins are flying, and clouds of flames and brimstone, combined with the roar of wild animals, permeate outside the main gate of the military depot.After three repeated struggles and advances and retreats, braving the flames and rain of bullets, the corpses of the Chaos Beasts piled up in the ditch, but they finally completed their goal --- filling the ditch and pushing the battering ram to the city gate.The siege ram is slowly advancing, the rough wooden wheel is crushed on the soil and the body, the blood of the dead and the groans of the wounded flow out, as well as weird creaking sounds, 24 strong gores hide under the thick roof, Pushing the monster forward with all the strength of the whole body, the city gate was approaching, and they were looking forward to the moment of impact.

But a few thunderclaps ended all of this, and the defenders on the top of the city seized the opportunity and dropped three cast iron mines.Thirty-pound iron spheres whizzed with the wires of fire, one after another rolled under the wheels of the siege ram, and suddenly there was a loud noise and smoke, and the huge explosion knocked half of the siege ram into pieces. The ceiling was thrown into the sky together with the stumped limbs and arms, and even the city tower shook violently.A large number of chaotic beasts fell to the ground due to the shock, their ears were bleeding, gold stars splashed in front of their eyes, and the weapons in their hands were thrown away by the impact of the blast.

But this is not the end, but the beginning. When the smoke cloud began to disperse and the Chaos beasts began to gather again, the heavy suspension bridge suddenly lowered in front of the beasts.The oak door opened with a bang, and the armored cavalry rushed out like a storm. They leaped from the smoke of sulfur and flames with their flag guns and swords, and rushed into the chaos of wild beasts stunned by the explosion. !

Forty iron-clad cavalry charged into the ranks of the beasts of Chaos, their swords and javelins casting arcs of death.It was Hyde who rushed to the front of the cavalry, his golden long hair and cloak fluttered in the cold autumn night, his white full body armor shone in the moonlight, and his banner spear challenged the Chaos beast In the air, his sword split the shield and skull of the Chaos Beast!The glorious coat of arms of the Favored One spread out brilliantly beside his body, like a fireball flashing across the night sky!A storm of arrows and buckshot from the walls made their way ahead, setting off howls and confusion among the beasts of Chaos.

The cavalry marched bravely like a scythe sweeping across a mature wheat field, and the chaotic beasts in pieces collapsed under the sudden counterattack. The power of chaos magic is time-sensitive, it can make soldiers excited and crazy for a period of time, forgetting pain and fear.But when its effect ends, all the pain will be returned to the enchanter intensified. In fact, the chaotic fanatical spells are like double-edged swords or fireworks, and the splendor cannot last.After more than two hours of fierce fighting, the magic effect naturally came to an end, and the morale of the chaotic beasts also dissipated at the same time.

With frantic screams and chaotic footsteps rolling across the grass, one after another Gore squadrons collapsed and fled, and the Gores who lost their magic power turned into chaotic and cowardly beasts again, tormented by pain and fear their hearts.The brown army formation surrounding the west wall of the military station twisted chaotically like a severed giant snake, and fled around, while the human riders chased the beasts that dared to resist, and attacked them one by one. Broken, merged into the torrent of collapse and escape.The muskets and crossbows on the city wall also fired with all their strength, pouring the hail of death into the flood of beasts.

Two chaotic tusked boar chariots made terrible noises and battle horns, and rushed fiercely towards the formation of cavalry.The curved spines on the side of the chariot howled in the wind, tearing apart a rider from the side of his horse, while the roaring boar knocked another rider off his horse, lifting him into the air with its huge tusks, Rain of blood fell from the sky accompanied by screams.This revived the fleeing beasts, some stopped running, and piles began to gather.

But before the driver of the chariot had time to cheer, the thunderbolt of death struck its head heavily. Seeing the death of his comrades in battle, Hyde raised his flag gun angrily and rode forward, shooting down the armored beast with just one shot. Under the chariot, the javeliner on the chariot frantically threw his javelin at the knight, but none of them hit. Hyde had already jumped up, swung his sword and jumped onto the gigantic chariot.The glorious holy seal spread out gorgeously behind the blond knight, like spreading the wings of an eagle.His roar resounded through the sky, like the roar of a lion, making all the wild animals around him terrified.

His sword slashed across the night sky to scatter a rainbow of blood, and his iron fist swung wind and thunder on the body of the beast of chaos.The shield was broken, the wooden fence was broken, and the beasts were thrown off the chariot one by one. Without armor and decent weapons, they couldn't resist the wrath of the gods, and they came to the end like lightning in close combat. In a matter of seconds, the blond knight has become the owner of the chariot.Without pausing or hesitating, he directly pulled the brass chain that controlled the wild boar to the right, and turned the huge two-wheeled chariot, which was nine feet long and nearly six feet high, to face another chariot. The chariots collided destructively amidst the wild howls of the war pigs, making a piercing sound of wood breaking.

The wounded wild boars twisted together and gnawed frantically, the curved thorns collided with each other and broke, shields and skeletons scattered one after another, and the two chaotic chariots disintegrated.The chariots were squeezed into patties, and the javeliners jumped and fled in all directions, leaving Hyde standing alone on the wreckage of the chariot.The young blond knight raised the Chaos banner on the rear of the car with one hand, let out a roar of victory, and then snapped it off the railing.The leather banners fell under the blood-stained wheel ruts, and were swept away like rags by the wind, which made the beasts of Chaos flee in terror, while the entire wall erupted with ecstatic shouts and musket fires. Pay warrior's tribute to this valiant godsend.

In just a moment, thousands of chaotic beasts attacking on the western wall collapsed like a gust of wind sweeping through fallen leaves.They left behind hundreds of dead and wounded bodies, howled and escaped from the shooting range of muskets, bows and crossbows at the top of the city, and regrouped two or three hundred steps away, but a series of shells fell on these chaotic herds, Scattering them again, the wild beasts wailed, and they fled even further.And Lord Kent Gore actually followed in the footsteps of its predecessor. Instead of engaging the cavalry, it retreated with the guards in a chariot to a high ground about [-] steps away from the military station, stood its ground, and then loudly Blowing the mournful horn, trying to rally the beasts.

Hyde stepped off the wreckage of the chariot, stepped back on his horse, waved his spear and summoned the cavalry to kill the Chaos Beast.Victory filled his heart with incomparable strength and confidence. In the fierce battle just now, the chaotic beasts collapsed in front of the young god-favored one like tidal water crashing on a rock. No beast could resist his attack. blow, which made his whole body vibrate with pride.

"Lala, have you seen it? This is the power of the favored one! You just wait for my triumphant return! Mom, have you seen it? Your son will not let down your heroism!"

Hyde couldn't help repeating the voice of ecstasy in his heart, he spurred his horse to gallop across the grassland, and charged straight at the throne chariot and army flag of the chaotic beast.He wants to take off the head of the beast king, and use this testimony of victory to bring back to the military station as a gift!In an instant, the young knight had led the cavalry to a distance of more than 300 steps from the military station, and was about to walk out of the firing range of the artillery on the tower, which made some knights object.

"Your Royal Highness Hyde, we have reached the limit of the distance that the artillery can cover us. I think we should withdraw. Please note that the enemy's strength is still large, and they are beginning to regroup. It seems unnecessary to chase too much of."

A middle-aged Rick knight rode to Hyde's side, opened his visor, and solemnly offered his advice to the young divinely favored one.And there was a long call to withdraw troops from the top of the city, as if to increase strength for this proposal.

"I can't agree with your Excellency. We have already beaten the cowardly enemy to the ground. There is no reason for us not to pursue! If you are willing to retreat, you can go back first. I will definitely not object. Let the warriors continue to move forward." gone."

Hyde raised his eyebrows, and answered the Rick knight's advice with very blunt words.He had already been dazzled by the ecstasy of victory, only the desire to fight remained in his heart, and his words became burning and compelling.

"His Royal Highness Hyde, I did not expect you to treat my advice like this. I have never been a coward. I only made suggestions for the safety of the troops. But since you doubt my courage, let me rush at the last Ahead! I can only answer your question with bravery!"

The knight Rick, wearing a helmet with red and white feathers on his head, answered Hyde's question angrily. His weather-beaten face was flushed with anger, and his veins were bulging.
