Yes, that's right.
Laing owed the Blood Dragon Patriarch, Abo Wallace, a favor. If the Blood Dragon Patriarch had not persuaded Count Norton's Vampire Coast Army to retreat on Obion Island, Laing might have faced a desperate situation in the war under Konkuata.
It was hard to say why Abo Wallace would choose to use such a precious favor to help Nefrata. Laing looked at Vlad, Akhan, and Abo Wallace, and suddenly realized that these three existences who were powerful enough to dominate the old world were either Nefrata's ex-husband or her ex-lover.
The Blood Dragon Ancestor was indifferent to the affairs of the world, but he was especially concerned about Nefrata. Even though the two of them had passed the honeymoon period and were destined to be unable to be together, Abo Wallace still cared about Nefrata.
But on second thought, Laing realized that there were very few things that could threaten Nefrata. Although Blood Ancestor Lemia was at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm and did not like to fight, there were not many existences in this world that could defeat her and threaten her.
This was Laing's promise, and it was reasonable for him to fulfill it.
He waved his hand impatiently as a sign of agreement, and Nefrata escaped disaster.
Vlad and his vampires were allowed to enter Nohr, but there were only a few vampires led by Vlad. Even so, many people suspected that Vlad and his vampires would attack the civilians out of thirst for blood.
However, they would not. Vlad had already obtained the power of Nagash and did not particularly rely on sucking blood. Akhan did not need it in this regard, and Nefrata's situation was very simple. She had many channels in the city and opened some "blood shops". By secretly bartering and redeeming, there were many people who were willing to sell some blood to improve their economic situation.
For the time being, the framework of the Avatar Council was set up. For the time being.
At the same time, in the summer of 2526 of the Empire, the flames of war were raging in Luscia.
Although the defense of Luna City was not bad, and Forgen successfully defeated the Skaven army that besieged the city and killed Colchis, the chief of the Skaven Plague Clan, but Luna City was still paralyzed in the end. In the long battle to defend the city, the lizardmen army of Luna City had suffered a devastating blow.
The second generation Slantehuga, who was located in the Moon City, had barely recovered from the battle against the Months of Demons. As he had used up too much of his strength, Tehuga was a little drowsy, but there was no time for him to sleep. The second generation Slantehuga told everyone that Itazar, the leader of the cities, and Slanwupec, the city of fog, had been attacked by the Skaven Ratmen.
And the Skaven ratmen were very targeted. Facing the largest, strongest, and most sturdy city, Itazar City, the Skaven ratmen did not choose to attack directly. Instead, they chose to surround the city and cut off Itazar's connection with the outside world, waiting for the opportunity to attack. Itazar had the largest number of holy guards, and the main force of the lizardmen army was stationed there.
Itazar City had never fallen into the enemy's hands. Since more than eight thousand years ago, since the first invasion of Chaos, Itazar had never been seriously threatened, let alone now that Venerable Kroc was here.
And now, in front of its city walls and arches, the rat-men army was fully assembled. Amidst the crackling of whips, the hard-working rat-men dug a deep trench along the wide perimeter of the city and set up huge siege weapons, preparing to besiege the leader of the cities. For other races in the world, if they saw such huge ratmen siege weapons beside their own cities, it would cause great fear.
In front of the great city walls and arches of Itazar City, any of the ratmen's machines looked insignificant. Compared to the Great Holy Pyramid of Itazar City, the ratmen's catapults looked like a pile of children's toys. Once, when Chaos first invaded, Itazar City was surrounded by an ocean of demons, and it withstood the world's largest invasion. Therefore, the city guards didn't cower in fear of the siege machines outside.
After analysis, Forgen believed that there was no need to worry about Itazar. The Snake Prophet Tehenhoin, the Wanderer Nakayi, and the Shadowless Hunter Osijotan had all brought their own legions there.
Forgen decided to support Fog City. Under the lead of Spirit Lizard Priest Teto Ike, the Ashes Legion and a small number of the remaining temple guards of Moon City immediately set off.
Fog City, Slanwupec. This city was originally thought to be indestructible by the lizardmen because it had a large number of chameleon legions. The powerful fog surrounding the entire city would make it impossible for the invaders to find their way. They would get lost in the fog, scatter, and be completely strangled in guerrilla warfare. Since the invasion of Chaos eight thousand years ago until now, Fog City had encountered many invasions, but the invaders returned without success under the protection of the powerful fog.
But it was different this time. The Skaven ratmen targeted the fog of Fog City, and the Skuri family had created professional equipment.
Two of the seven Plague Lords of the Plague Clan led their own legions and approached Fog City from two different directions. The two Plague Lords would attack the city from different directions and use their own methods to overcome the mysterious fog.
The first Plague Lord, Lord Scrimmanx, was known as a strict and harsh commander. Even in the Plague Clan, which was known for its cruelty, he was known as a person who appreciated ruthless and greedy actions more than any other race.
Scrimmanx had the ability to gather a large but pitiful army of rat slaves and lead his warriors into a large-scale battlefield. All the Skaven leaders climbed over the corpses of their opponents and servants to reach their positions, but this Lord directly climbed up a mountain of death to reach the second position in the Plague Clan that was coveted by many: Plague Warden. Among all the Plague Lords who served the Lord of Decay, Lord Skook was the only one who was stronger than him.
Lord Scrimmanx's method of fighting against the fog was' linking '.
The army that entered the fog first would leave behind flags and dimensional stone braziers in many places to lead the Skaven ratmen behind them forward. All the Skaven ratmen would use rotten chains soaked in plague water to link all the rats together. They would then light up lamps next to the flags left behind by the rat slaves and link the flags with each other. The Plague Monk army would follow the large army of rat slaves and step into the fog.
As soon as they entered the fog, the Skaven ratmen felt as if they had entered a different world. It was humid, hot, and dark. They couldn't even see their own fingers or see the sun. Sound was forcefully suppressed, and heat and humidity were trapped in the air. Not long after, all the Skaven ratmen were soaked, their fur still dripping with water. When the ground became swampy, the growth of the forest disappeared, and every swaying step would slow down their movement. Their feet were bound by chains, and the slaves that slipped were trampled and drowned by the legion behind them. The rats that pulled their feet or tails out of the muddy water quickly found that they were either missing a part of their body or had their blood sucked dry by something.
There seemed to be some whispers in the fog, sometimes close, sometimes far away. In the knee-deep swamp, the constant splashing sound could be the sound of some creature in the water, but it could also be the sound of the slave rats being pulled into the water.
The unique hissing voice of the lizardmen echoed in the fog. From the swamp, from the air, from the vines, from the forest, and from the bushes, the lizardmen's voice never stopped. Groups of slave rats and clan rats disappeared into the depths of the fog without any response.
The Plague Priests hurriedly pulled the chains back, wanting to pull the missing troops back, but the other end of the chains was either minced meat or blood, and the rats had already disappeared on the other end.
As time passed, the rats' losses became greater and greater. After the small groups disappeared, it was followed by the disappearance of the squadrons and even the large groups. The Night Running Rats were sent out to search for traces of the missing troops, but not a single rat returned to report what had happened.
There was no day, no night. No one knew how much time had passed, but all that was left was the sound of breathing and silence.
In the fog, something was approaching, and a poisoned javelin suddenly flew out, killing the clan rats. A poisoned dart was quickly shot out from the blowpipe, and the Plague Monks were attacked one after another. Some of the crazy Plague Priests who had lost their minds led a small group, waving the Plague Censer to form a rotating gas shield. The twisting smoke released by the swaying censer offset some of the fog's directional characteristics, but these lunatics soon lost their minds as well. They also rushed into the fog and never returned.
Their courage faded, and only fear was left. The Skaven rats finally could not stop the spread of panic.
"I hear, I hear the swamp talking, yes, it's the lizardmen's words!"
"That, that bush is also talking, talking!"
"Fog! The lizardmen are coming! "
"Rat, rat, we're all going to die, die!"
"Damned reptiles, they're everywhere, everywhere!"
"The tree is talking!"
Lord Skaven's army finally collapsed, and more than 100,000 Skaven rats fled in all directions. The Great Lord himself had no choice but to forcibly open the Plague Furnace. The poisonous plague in the furnace forced the Spirit Lizard Guerillas and the Chameleon Guerillas Guerillas to retreat, and the Giant Beast Army of the Fog City was infected with the plague, so they gave up the chase.
Only then did Scrimmanx lead his army out of the fog.
So far, the first army to invade Fog City had suffered a crushing defeat. Skaven Fog City's General Manager, Skaven Fog City's General Manager, Skaven Fog City's General Manager, Skaven Fog City, couldn't help but curse the second army. He couldn't wait for them to completely fail.
The second Plague Lord was called Bristro, the Preacher of Holy Words. He led the Scawen Army, which was called the Plague Brotherhood, into the fog and prepared for a decisive battle with the Lizardmen of the Fog City.
Unlike Lord Skaven who was superstitious about plagues and traditional methods, Lord Bristro was more willing to believe in advanced technology than plagues.
Dimension Stone Infrared Night Vision Device.
Dimension Stone Telescope.
Dimension Stone Pager.
Dimension Stone Optical Perspective Device.
Dimension Stone Compass.
The Skaven family's Warlock Engineers used their own advanced technology to penetrate the fog. In the Warlock Engineers' vision, the fog could no longer interfere with their vision. The signals produced by the Dimension Stone technology were constantly transmitted to the Warlock Engineers' earpieces, allowing them to correct the path and guide the way.
The Spirit Lizard and Chameleon Guerillas' sniping was ineffective. When the Spirit Lizards approached the Ratmen, the Ratmen definitely could not sense their existence. However, Bristro commanded a nearby Dimension Flamethrower. Intense green-black flames penetrated the fog and melted the Spirit Lizards and Giant Lizards who were in extreme pain.
When a cloud of flying guns and darts emerged from the fog, the warlocks reacted with magical black lightning chains, scorching the ambushers before they could retreat.
At other times, the Skaven army stopped and used the Poison Wind Mortars to launch Dimension Stone Bombs at the creatures lurking in the front. When the army advanced, the poisonous fog had already dispersed, leaving behind the corpses of the reptiles and giant beasts. The poisonous gas was still surging in their throats.
The thick fog that had guarded the Fog City for 8000 years was ineffective in front of the Skaven army.
At this time, the Lizardmen's trouble finally appeared. The Fog City's defense army was the smallest among the four major cities. The defenders here had too much faith in the power of the fog, so they did not leave behind enough guards. The previous battles in the Echo City and the Moon City, as well as the news of Itaza's invasion, had caused the Eternal Guardian of the Fog City, Chakas, to send out more than half of his army. Now, these troops were already on the way, and they could not make it in time.
The valiant Lizardmen warriors fought to the end, but as night fell, the last defensive position of the fortifications was destroyed.
The Magic Toads of the Fog City were forcefully awakened by the Spirit Lizard Priests who violated their promise. Each of them had a splitting headache. The Magic Toads powerlessly lowered their heads and no longer had the strength to release magic to protect the city. Sitting on the Golden Holy Throne, Lord Huahua pressed his fat head while hurriedly reporting the situation to Grand Venerable Kroc.
For the first time in his long life, he felt nervous. He could already hear the sounds of the battle between the Divine Guardians and the Skaven Storm Rats outside the pyramid. They were digging underground, passing through ancient cracks, or releasing unnatural flames to melt anything that blocked their way.
They were destroying everything in their destruction, prying the precious gems out of the stone tablets and throwing away the stone tablets.
Every stone tablet of the Ancient Saint was a priceless treasure that was so ancient that it surpassed the history of their race. Or perhaps, the secret of the world was engraved on the tablet. However, all of this had nothing to do with the Ratmen. The Spirit Lizard's residential area was destroyed, and the eggs and young of the Giant Beasts were devoured by the Ratmen.
The Fog City was filled with the death roars of the besieged animals. The hatching pool was smashed open, and the things inside were dragged out by the Ratmen under the moonlight. Some of the eggs that were bigger than the adult Skaven Ratmen were smashed on the paving stones. The newly hatched animals were torn apart and eaten in a frenzy. After confirming that there were no living creatures, the Skaven Ratmen opened the plague furnace. A large mass of deadly "Heng Jia" was poured into the hatching pool, destroying the sacred hatching pool forever. This Ancient Saint was a priceless treasure of the Lizardmen.
At this time, the third generation Magic Toad, Lord Huahua, had not made up his mind to retreat. The Magic Toad was not willing to give up the Fog City, even if the sound of swords in the distance was getting closer and closer.
When the Fog City was about to fall into despair, the second generation old Magic Toad in the center of the Fog City, Winnie Aquitan, finally woke up.
When the old Magic Toad woke up, it was surprised that the situation was so bad. It quickly judged the situation and looked at the Northern Cross. It sighed helplessly and began to chant a large-scale teleportation spell.
Not far from the Golden Sanctum of Winiaquitan, the gate of the Great Pyramid was smashed open by the Storm Rats. A group of Skaven Ratmen and the Divine Guards fought fiercely. The Divine Guards repelled several waves of Ratmen's attacks, but the Ratmen were almost endless. In the end, the formation of the Divine Guards became sparse, and a gap appeared in the solid shield wall. Two black shadows flew quickly.
Two Skaven Assassins pulled out the Blade of Tears, dodged the Divine Guardians' shield wall, and flew over the crowd. They approached Winnie Aquitan and stabbed the old Magic Toad's stomach with their daggers. The Great Guardian of the Fog City, Chakas, blocked the attack. One of the Essien Assassins was hammered into a pile of meat paste, and the other was swept to the ground by Chakas' tail.
The Skaven Assassins missed the best opportunity. In the next second, Winnie Aquitan's large teleportation spell was activated. The remaining Divine Guardians and Skaven in the Fog City were all teleported away, leaving only a small number of Spirit Lizard troops to delay the Skaven Ratmen until the last moment.
Lord Bristow originally wanted to enjoy the fruits of his labor, but then a scout reported that two reinforcements were quickly approaching. Bristow thought for a moment and decided to run. He gathered his own army and the Plague Monk Guards and immediately escaped from the Fog City. Since the different clans planned to search for food on their own, no one saw Bristow leave. Of course, he did not warn the others. This was the way the Skaven Ratmen did things.
When Fulgen and Moonlight City's reinforcements arrived with Kouga's reinforcements, they were already too late. The Fog City was completely destroyed by the Skaven Ratmen.
Forgen led the Phoenix Guards and swept through the entire Skaven Ratman army with Kouga. The Emperor's Son, Yuan, watched with great regret as this great city fell. Forgen and Kouga killed all of the Skaven Ratmen left behind. While Kouga was still trying to take revenge on the Skaven Ratmen with the fury in his bloodline, Forgen could already smell the terrifying scent of the Ratmen's formation.
It was impossible for there to be so few enemies. Moreover, not a single Scourge Lord had appeared.
What was the Skaven's goal?
Fulgen looked up and saw the Evil Moon in the sky.
"Slanwupek is such an important city, yet there are so few troops left behind?" Fulgen thought for a moment and immediately came to a conclusion, "Not good, the Skaven only have one goal!"
"Karim, tell the army to immediately turn around and head to Itaza!"
Yuan looked at the Fog City that had been reduced to ruins. His face gradually turned as hard as steel.
The Skaven only had one goal, and that was to make the Evil Moon fall.
He only had one goal, and that was to stop the Skaven from making the Evil Moon fall.
Itaza, First City.
It was also the location of the final battle.
