Mortarion, the leader of the fourteenth legion, the original demon of Nurgle, the terrible spreader of the plague, the lost cursed one.
He had always been willing to maintain his rule on a planet located in the Eye of Fear. He was the master of the planet of plagues. He did not have much ambition and lacked the motivation to make progress. Compared to conquering the stars, Mortarion preferred to stay in his own land to do farming and enjoy his new father's depraved laughter and whispers to him amidst the buzzing of filthy flies, the sound of corrosive streams, and the sound of rotting organs. This was a kind of enjoyment for Mortarion — a home that belonged to him and only him, and a father who truly cared and loved him.
However, the disappearance of the other original demon bodies one after another attracted the attention of the Evil Gods. The Evil Gods swore in rage that they would find the reason, and Mortarion was asked by Fat Grandpa Nurgle to stay in the Eye of Fear.
At first, Mortarion was very obedient to Fat Grandpa Nurgle's words. He also felt that it was good for him to enjoy life like this.
But this kind of life did not last long. Soon, Mortarion began to be tempted by Tzeentch's whispers.
The Lord of All Change told Mortarion over and over again that Angran was defeated, Forgen was defeated, and Magnus was defeated. But they were all brave and dared to face the challenge. Only you, a coward, a piece of trash, once again chose to escape, once again chose to obey, once again chose to compromise. You are still the coward who fell in the poisonous gas on top of Barbarus Mountain. You can only wait for others to grant you death or save you.
"I'm not a coward!" Mortarion could ignore Tzeentch's whispers at first, but his tenacious willpower could not be maintained for long. After a period of whispers, the angry original demon body finally told Tzeentch that he was not a coward and would never be afraid of challenges.
Tzeentch was ecstatic and immediately told Mortarion some things. The Four Gods of Chaos suddenly found clues to the missing original demons.
Mortarion immediately decided to personally lead several legions of Nurgle demons through the eternal giant subspace storm and personally come to "retrieve" the missing original demons.
Other original demons, no!
I, Mortarion, can do it!
Our children of Nurgle are really too powerful! I really love Grandpa Fatty too much!
It was a pity that this journey was not that wonderful. After several legions successfully passed through the eternal giant subspace storm, only a Nurgle Demon legion and a Death Shroud squad survived.
Moreover, after coming to this world, Mortharian also felt that his strength was greatly suppressed. The group of Nurgle demons could only temporarily return to the subspace to preserve their strength under the terrifying suppression and wait for Mortharian's summons.
The respirator exhaled a mouthful of mustard-colored stench. Mortarion noticed that his son, Tyfons, the Nurgle Vanguard and the Lord of the Hive of Pestilence, had also successfully passed through the subspace storm. Clearly, this guy was severely injured. He appeared very weak, and even the pustules on his body and the color of the rotting hive had dimmed a lot.
How much strength does this guy have left? Mortarian wondered how Tyfons was doing. The geno prototype knew that unless Tyfons asked for help, he would not show any concern or offer any help.
It was impossible for Tyfons to take the initiative to ask for help. Therefore, the Father of Genes and his rebellious son were destined to be in this awkward confrontation. In fact, the two were already on the verge of parting ways.
Sure enough, Tyfons looked at his Father of Genes with contempt and disdain. Although he was very weak, he still left with a few subordinates who were loyal to him.
Mortarion himself began to prepare to move toward Costantinye. There, he would determine the winner with the other original demon, Fogen.
He would definitely win!
… I am the dividing line of the poisonous gas from the canister …
Vashner, the Destroyer, was riding a black dragon and approaching Costantinye from the air.
For this dark elf Sanctuary warlord who had already served the Four Gods of Chaos, this trip to the south was not smooth.
His original plan was to lead his invincible army and attack the City of the Sun by surprise. He would destroy and loot this ancient lizardmen city. Then, he would be rewarded by the Four Gods of Chaos and see more powerful and terrible secrets.
However, since passing through Nagaros and entering the Luscia Isthmus, he and his army had to repeatedly be harassed by the Sky Lord of the City of the Sun, Tiktato, and his flying brigade. This caused his march to take an extra week, and there was no longer any stealth and surprise. Then, the evil god's oracle made Vashner extremely angry. The evil god asked him and his army to give up attacking the City of the Sun and attack Costantinye, the human city.
When Vashner's army of more than 40,000 people arrived at the outskirts of Costantinye, the army of the Skaven Ratman Lord Skook and the undead pirate army of Luthhaken had not yet arrived. Vashner quickly judged that there were at least 50,000 soldiers, 500 cannons, and thousands of cavalry in the city. This dark elf warlord who was loyal to the Chaos immediately realized that the two fortresses on the periphery of the city, namely the large bastion of Golden Horn Bay in the north of the city and the arrowhead bastion in the west of the city, had to be taken first. Otherwise, this siege would be very difficult.
As expected by Fogen, Vashner immediately ordered to attack the large bastion of Golden Horn Bay and the arrowhead bastion at the same time!
Five dark elf legions and three Chaos legions immediately launched an attack on the two bastions.
The ones in charge of defending the bastion of Golden Horn Bay were Wizard Arabikin and Princess Karolina of the wood elves. The defenders had the most powerful spells and powerful long-range firepower. Relying on the well-organized defense and solid city defense, the large bastion of Golden Horn Bay repelled the attacks of the three Chaos legions six times in five hours, forcing Vashner to order a retreat and readjust the battle strategy.
However, the arrowhead bastion in the west of the city was defended by the Estalia army and the Empire army who had surrendered. These two armies relied on strict discipline and military formation to resist the strong enemy. In this fierce attack and defense battle, the arrowhead bastion had changed hands many times, and both sides had suffered heavy losses. The reinforcements from the Terminator army and the Ashes army were endless, so the bastion had become a purgatory. Knowing the importance of the bastions outside the city, Fogen ordered that the arrowhead bastion must be defended.
However, after a few hours of hard fighting, the Scaven army led by the Plague Lord, Skook, arrived in the evening. Although the Scaven army had to leave half of their forces behind to shake off the pursuit of the Snake God army and arrived a long time late, news of the Scaven army's appearance in the south forced Fogen to give up the arrowhead bastion and retreat to Costantinye.
On the first day of the defense of Costantinye, the Terminator army had lost more than four thousand people.
The Ashes army had lost more than six thousand people.
It seemed that the evil allied army had won, but as the commander of the allied army, Vashner, the Terminator, discovered a problem.
There were very few prisoners.
This showed that the resistance of this group of mortals was very strong, and they were determined to fight to the end. Looking at the fortified city walls and the defenders' cannons, Vashner ordered a temporary halt to the attack.
The size of the Scaven army of ratmen was like a swarm of locusts. There were so many of them, so many of the slave rats and clan rats were suffering from the plague. Lord Skook did not care about the lives of these cannon fodders. The Plague Monks and Plague Priests quickly took over the arrowhead bastion. They deployed the various war machines of the Skook family and the monsters of the Mord family.
Vashner also brought out his big killer weapon, the Chaos Hellfire Cannon. A dozen cannons were deployed in the ruins of the arrowhead bastion. These scary weapons could spit out the power of chaos. Costantinye was quickly covered in the fire of the Chaos Hellfire Cannon.
At the same time, Fogen launched a fierce counterattack. There was a secret tunnel under the arrowhead bastion bastion.
Everything was according to the plan of the king's son geno prototype.
In the wee hours of the morning, the surprise attack began.
Fogen personally led the phoenix guards to attack through the secret tunnel. The commander of the Ashes army appeared in the dark of the night above the artillery of the Terminator army. He used all his power to swing his sword. A few Chaos Hellfire Cannons, dozens of Chaos Dwarfs, and an entire shield wall formed by the Chaos Warriors were blown up into the sky. Fogen's sword tore the dark clouds that covered the sky. He killed all the Chaos Champions and Dark Elf Lords who dared to challenge him. Before Vashner could react, he retreated into the tunnel and blew it up. All that was left was the destroyed artillery, the Chaos Hellfire Cannons, and the dead Chaos Dwarfs.
This fierce counterattack made Vashner realize how difficult this battle would be. The enemy was very strong, and they fought in an orderly manner. Their morale was high.
He decided to wait for Luther Haken's ghost pirate army to arrive before continuing the attack.
After that, the first round of probing was over. Both sides retreated and prepared for the next round of battle.
Late the next night, in Constantinje's base camp, Fogen and the commanders discussed the next step of the battle plan.
"The enemy has us surrounded. After the arrowhead redoubt was lost, their fierce fire almost engulfed the wall. We do not have a good solution to this problem. We can only keep repairing the wall." Engineer Jarek Grimm, who was in charge of the city's defense, said, "We have too few helicopters. We can only attack a limited number of targets."
"Didn't we destroy all the Chaos Hellfire Cannons of the Terminator army?" Julius also knew that the situation was very serious. The commander of the Hunters was even a bit worried. "Why does the enemy still have such fierce firepower?"
"Because there are still the Skaven Rat Men," Pedro said helplessly. Pedro said helplessly, "Every day, the number of Skaven Ratmen is increasing. An endless stream of war machines are being transported into the city. We have to face more firepower every day. There are about 550 cannons in the city for defense, but the Skaven Ratmen have gathered at least 370 cannons to surround a single point."
"Let me out of the city!" Julius said firmly. "Let my Hunters destroy the enemy's cannons!"
"Then you are going to die, Yuri!" Fogen spoke. The king's son geno prototype shook his head. "Going out to fight now is suicide. Our army is not as good as the Terminator army, and our wall is now our most powerful weapon."
Everyone was silent. The arrowhead redoubt's probing confrontation made the defenders feel very troubled. With the redoubt, the wall's cannons, and a large number of fortifications, the Ashes Army still suffered more casualties.
"The enemy is waiting." At this time, Mage Jin spoke. The Sultan of Araby assessed the situation and shook his head. "The enemy is obviously waiting for something to appear before launching an attack."
"Yes, so be prepared." Fogen looked. Constantinje was now in a sea of Dark Elves, Chaos Army, and Skaven Rat Men. "Increase the defense. We must hold on."
"Yes!"
Everyone dispersed, leaving only Fogen in the base camp to think about the battle.
Golden light shone in the room, and the shadow of Saint Giles walked out from behind Fogen. The angel frowned. "The situation is very bad, my brother."
"I know." Fogen nodded slightly. The quality of the Terminator army was far beyond Fogen's expectations.
They were all Chaos Warriors and Chaos Knights, including a large group of God's Chosen with heavy weapons. At the same time, the Dark Elves had also sent a large number of reinforcements, including the Sin Reapers, the Shadow Army, and even several legions of Cold Lizard Dreadknights had joined the battle. There were also several war hydras and a black dragon!
Such a high-quality army made the Ashes Army unable to resist. Even if Fogen led the Phoenix Guards to successfully launch a powerful counterattack, it was still the same.
The power of mortals was ultimately limited.
What to do? Fogen was thinking about how to use the power at hand to break the situation.
However, just as Fogen was formulating a few counterattack plans, Princess Carolina of the Wood Elves suddenly walked in from outside.
"No! Carolina, now is not the time! "Fogen said without hesitation.
"What is not the time?" Carolina anxiously stomped her feet. "Fogen, this is bad! Come and see, the Army of the Dead has appeared on our north shore! "
"The Army of the Dead was supposed to appear from there." Fogen raised his head. "I have already sent troops to guard the Golden Horn Bay. As long as the Golden Horn Bay is not lost …"
"Aiya, I don't know how to tell you. Come here quickly!" Carolina pulled Fogen's sleeve and walked out.
Fifteen minutes later, Fogen and the others climbed up the north wall of Costantinye. The scene in front of them shocked the defending soldiers speechless.
On the west side of the bastion of the Golden Horn Bay, several Undead Battleships were advancing on land.
More than a dozen Undead Pirates formed an Army of the Dead that was moving together. They used their endless strength and bodies that would not tire to use logs to pave a road that was several kilometers long!
The huge Undead Battleships were being dragged by countless Undead as they rolled over the logs, bypassed the bastion of the Golden Horn Bay, and sailed on dry land, preparing to directly attack the north wall of Costantinye.
The Undead Pirate King, Luther Haken, stood proudly at the bow of his flagship, waving his scimitar. His revenge was coming!
"Sailing … on dry land?!" Fogen saw the scene in front of him and was a little dazed for a moment. Laing's words vaguely appeared in his mind, but he immediately realized that this would be a fatal blow to the morale of the defenders! The Undead Pirates had successfully bypassed the Golden Horn Bay and opened a gap in the city's defensive line of Costantinye!
Sure enough, the morale of the defending army took a hit when they saw this scene. The former Imperial General Weidenfeller panicked. "Commander, we won't be able to defend against a three-pronged attack. There are less than two thousand defenders on the northern wall."
"I know!" Fogen said angrily. "Send two regiments of soldiers here to deal with the Undead Pirates' attack!"
"Commander, where are our Lizardmen allies? And what about the High Elves? Will they come to help us? "General Weidenfeller was a little flustered." Commander? Where are your brothers? Where are their reinforcements? "
Everyone looked at Fogen.
"Right now, the most effective line of defense is courage, faith, and justice." Fogen took a deep breath. "All the citizens of the city are watching you, and the gods. Don't let them be humiliated!"
"The real war of our Ashes Corps is about to begin!"
