  Chapter 67 The Eve of the Battle

  As Captain Empire said, this place is hell.

  Everyone walked along the way. What I saw were shocking horrors, strange flesh and blood attached to the walls and the ground, besides, you could also see hanged corpses, corpses locked in cages... The whole city looked like A far-fetched execution ground, disgusting.

  No one spoke, it seemed that even if they spoke a word here, they would breathe poisonous and almost filthy air. Lorena had already folded her hands, praying to herself. And Melody beside her was also carrying a rifle, scanning around with obvious disgust and vigilance. Although they had already learned about the situation in this world from Duanmuhuai, they only realized this after seeing it with their own eyes. The darkness the world has encountered far exceeds their imagination.

   Only Fia was walking behind, her eyes sparkling, looking around excitedly like a mouse that had entered a rice bowl. It seems that for her, all this is full of some kind of particularly strong stimulation... although maybe it is true.

Soon, the group arrived at the destination and met the members of the nuns there. They met three combat nuns, wearing nun clothes, holding hammers and shields in both hands—well, they looked very Looks like he can fight.

   "If you didn't come, we might have to reconsider our next move."

  Glanced at Duanmuhuai, the leading battle nun looked at the captain of the empire and said.

   "What is the situation of the temple now?"

"very bad."

  The nuns shook their heads.

   "At the beginning, the Ratmen occupied this temple, and they tried to reproduce the evil of the catastrophe by building the Bell of Disaster here."

  Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed. The bell of disaster was the big bell that appeared in the legend of the birth of the Ratman before. At that time, the big bell rang thirteen times, bringing the plague disaster and comet. And the Bell of Calamity seems to come from this legend, it is also the ratmen and their powerful and terrifying weapon, if such a blasphemous Bell of Calamity is built in the temple of Sigmar, then what will happen... I can't imagine.

   "But soon, the Chaos Warriors attacked the temple and expelled the Ratman. But they plan to open the portal here and summon the Chaos Demon..."

  “……”

   At this time, everyone's faces were as cold as ice. It was obvious that the temple was in a very dangerous situation. Whether it was used by the Ratman to ring the bell, or used by the Chaos Warriors to build the portal, it was not what they expected. After all, if the Chaos Warriors really succeeded in building a portal here, then the Chaos God's army could pass through here to wreak havoc within the empire, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

   After the Chaos Warriors captured the temple, they blocked the gate of the temple and placed heavy guards around it. It is obviously impossible to break through their defense with just three battle nuns.

   But it's not so easy to get in.

  The Temple of Sigma itself also has towering walls and gates, basically equivalent to a small fortress inside the city, and it has not suffered any damage. In this case, it is too difficult to force a breakthrough. The only choice is to go around from behind, but the guards over there are very strict. According to the battle nuns, the Chaos warriors have even summoned a few demons...

   "Then leave it to me."

   At this moment, Duanmu Huai took a step forward and spoke.

"you?"

  Hearing what Duanmuhuai said, the fighting nun looked at him suspiciously.

   "What are you going to do?"

   "My battle group is responsible for the frontal attack, attracting the attention of those followers of Chaos, and you will sneak in from behind while their attention is being diverted by me. How about it? It's a simple plan."

   "This is very simple, but... are you all right?"

The fighting nun has no doubts about Duanmuhuai's fighting power, after all, he looks very capable of fighting, but the girls who follow Duanmuhuai make the fighting nun somewhat suspicious - after all, they don't really look like each other. A man who fights a lot.

   "No problem, leave it to us."

   "That's it."

  The battle nun and the captain of the empire had a brief discussion and decided to follow Duanmuhuai's suggestion. After all, there is really no other way now. Although Duanmuhuai's proposal is simple, it is really the most suitable for now.

  The premise is that they can attract each other's attention.

   Soon, after the plan was determined, the two sides separated. The Battle Sisters led the other two groups to the back alley, while Duanmu Huai was preparing to attack in front.

Looking at the backs of the people going away, Duanmuhuai's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he snapped his fingers lightly, and soon there was a slight movement in the air, and several invisible [sorrowing puppets] followed the crowd silently behind.

  Although everyone is temporarily companions, Duanmu Huai never forgets to be vigilant against these locals. For an Inquisitor, when he lands on a planet, everyone on the planet except him, regardless of men, women, or children, is a potential target of trial, and anyone may be an accomplice or spy of Chaos .

  For example, these battle nuns of the Sisterhood, they may have already changed their families and become servants of a certain Chaos God.

  Or in the imperial army, there were also people who secretly communicated with those heretical demons.

  Therefore, Duanmu Huai never forgot to keep these people in reserve, especially after he had [Slaughtering Dolls], he would rather spend his spiritual energy to summon a few [Slaughtering Dolls] to monitor the other party, hoping to win the initiative.

"alright."

   Looking away, Duanmu Huai looked at the girls behind him.

   "Next will be your first battle in this world, are you nervous?"

   "Many, more or less, Sir Knight."

  Lorena also seemed a little uneasy at the moment, but she still clenched her fists.

   "However, I will try."

   "Well, don't worry so much, most of the enemies here are not your opponents."

   To be honest, the power of [Lorena's Iron Fist] alone can defeat most of the enemies here, even if high-level demons come.

"What should I do?"

  Meluti appeared calmer, perhaps because she was a soldier, and she quickly got used to this kind of scene.

   "Find a high place and snipe the Chaos believers on those high platforms when we charge in."

  Duanmuhuai pointed to the chaotic believers patrolling with bows and arrows on the platform above the temple.

   "Of course, you have to be careful, just like what you heard just now, there are many intricate forces lurking in this city, and there might be something that touches you when you are not prepared, so..."

   Having said this, Duanmu Huai looked at Fei Ya.

   "Fia, I want you to bring a few torture puppets here to protect Melody and prevent her from being harmed."

"Why?"

   Hearing Duanmu Huai's order, Fiya was obviously quite dissatisfied.

   "Can't I go up and kill them, Master? I want to kill them all! All of them, not one left!"

   "You still have enemies to kill if you stay here, but if I know that you left your post without authorization, then you won't have a chance to come out again."

  Duanmuhuai had to admit that this puppet killer had serious mental problems, but fortunately, as long as she was obedient, she could still be used as a tool.

  Fortunately, Duanmuhuai is not a pure judge, otherwise he would have cleaned up Fia long ago. In fact, almost any player could be considered a member of the Radical faction. This also profoundly affects the war landscape in the late game...well, it's a bit too early to say.

   After teaching Fia, Duanmuhuai turned to Augis.

   "Augis, you and I act together...Augis?"

  However, this time, the puppet girl did not respond to Duanmuhuai's words as usual. On the contrary, her eyes wandered, as if she was thinking about something. It was not until Duanmuhuai called her name again that Augis came back to her senses.

   "Ah, master, I'm really sorry, I... I don't know what happened to me..."

   "No, it's nothing, it's normal."

   Of course Duanmu Huai knew why Augis was distressed. In the previous battle of the Holy City, Yan Wei rushed towards the nun frantically at the last moment, preventing her further actions, and Duanmu Huai successfully destroyed the temple. But Yanwei was also involved in the big explosion after that, and turned into fragments all over the place. In the end, Auges only found half of Yanwei's head.

  At that time, Duanmuhuai saw Augis holding the half of her head and staring at it for a long time, and she didn't know what she was thinking. In the end, the two gathered up the remains of Jiawei, burned them and buried them.

  Although the two of them haven't been in contact for a long time, strictly speaking, Jiawei is indeed Augis's younger sister. It is normal for the puppet girl at this moment to be troubled by this. In other words, this is what Duanmu Huai wants to see, because only with the existence of soul and heart can there be feelings. This also shows that during the period when Augis followed her, her heart has indeed grown. On the contrary, if Augis showed nothing wrong, Duanmuhuai would have to reflect on whether there was something wrong with his strategy.

   "I will have a good talk with you later. Now focus on the battle. You cooperate with me to storm the temple and attract the attention of Chaos believers. Is there a problem?"

   This time, facing Duanmu Huai's question, Ao Ji shook her head without hesitation.

   "No, Master."

"very good."

  Hearing Augis' answer, Duanmuhuai nodded, and then he clenched his warhammer tightly.

   "Then, get ready to do it!"
