Ernst, the great demon hunter, was fighting among the rats. He had a knife in one hand and an axe in the other. He swung the knife back and forth like a work of art. Every time he swung the knife back and forth, he would take the life of at least one Storm Rat.
In between attacks, Ernst would take out his gun and fire repeatedly.
If the former demon hunter Jacob's reloading speed was imperceptible, then Ernst's reloading speed was imperceptible. With a flick of his finger, the gun was reloaded in an instant. Two consecutive shots later, a Master Rat and a Gutter Rat were quickly killed by him.
"Ahhh!" Ernst killed another Storm Rat with his knife and axe. He looked into the distance.
A terrible beast was fighting with a Grail Knight face to face.
"The Abomination of the Pit. Where does this Grail Knight get the confidence to fight with such a beast?" The demon hunter's eyes were as red as fire. He began to focus his attention on the battle between Laing and the Abomination of the Pit.
In the face of such a twisted creature that completely blasphemed the laws of nature, Laing's face was serious. He reached out and pulled out the Nemesis on his back and walked slowly toward the beast.
"Ahhhhhh!" The Abomination of the Pit opened its six arms, and the 20 or 30 rat heads on its body let out a shrill roar at the same time. Its torso and limbs moved, and it rushed directly toward Laing.
Seeing this, the demon hunter was a little worried about the future of the young Grail Knight. He knew the strength of the Grail Knight, but such a huge beast must be a powerful opponent.
The Abomination of the Pit let out its roar. Its third arm on the left was a long scimitar made of dimensional stones. Almost at the moment when Laing approached, the scimitar drew a green arc of light, which contained the power to break mountains.
But it did not cut anything. There was only a cloud of air left where Laing was.
The Chosen of the Lake Fairy nimbly dodged the attack like a phantom. The Goddess of Vengeance in his right hand swept through the air, and with the sound of flesh tearing, the arm made of dimensional stone scimitars was torn in half by the sharp sword. A metal boot stepped directly on the rotten flesh that fell to the ground and twisted with force.
The whole arm was stomped into a pile of minced meat.
"Ahhhhh! Kill！ Kill！” The Pit Abomination unleashed all of its power. The screams of the twenty to thirty rat heads on its body rose and fell one after another, drowning the entire battlefield in noise. At the same time, Laing's iron fist hit the Pit Abomination like a cannonball. The giant beast was beaten back by Laing's great strength.
The Pit Abomination stretched out its right arm. This arm had a huge spike that emitted a green glow. The twisted spike spun rapidly under the influence of the Dimension Stone's energy. Its left arm spun, and the tip of this arm was a flail! Hanging from the rusted chain was a plague incense burner that emitted terrifying germs.
Boom! The plague incense burner smashed down, splashing up a lot of dust. The toxic smoke did not affect Laing at all. After dodging the plague incense burner, he raised the Nemesis and slashed diagonally.
Clang! The dimensional stone spike was bounced off by Laing's strength. The champion of the Lake Fairy grabbed the Pit Abomination's wrist with his hand. All of his muscles were tense, and even the Pit Abomination's bones were cracking.
"Open … for me!" Laing shouted angrily. He directly pulled the dimensional stone spike out of the Pit Abomination's right arm. As the giant beast howled, the dimensional stone spike was broken by Laing and pierced through the Pit Abomination's chest. One of the rat heads was pierced through, and the filthy body that was smelted by alchemy went through its brain.
Before the giant beast could recover from this fierce attack, Laing waved the Nemesis, and the arm holding the plague incense burner was broken. His left hand grasped the chain of the plague incense burner. Laing used incredible strength to spin the one-meter wide plague incense burner twice in the air and smashed it down on the Pit Abomination's head.
Green, yellow, and red juice splattered everywhere. The head of the Abomination of the Pit was bleeding profusely, and its teeth were smashed into smithereens. Before it could even react from the dizziness, the Goddess of Vengeance released lightning and tore apart the nerves of the giant beast.
The giant beast was roaring crazily. Its mouth and one of its remaining arms were spitting out green flames. The Pit Abomination stretched out its forearm under its torso and swept it with all its might. Amid the burning smell that tore through the air, Ryan was forced to retreat.
However, no matter how powerful the attack was, it couldn't extinguish Laing's fighting spirit. Lightning flashed all over his body, and light blue light and white flames burned fiercely around his body. In his figure, everyone on the battlefield could almost feel a certain great existence within reach gradually breaking free from the shackles on his body.
"For the Lady!"
The Goddess of Vengeance's blade was cutting open the filthy body of the Pit Abomination. The shining arc carried the will of the goddess on the other side of the mountain. The Pit Abomination hissed, and a Dimensional Lightning Cannon was removed from its body. The Goddess of Vengeance was cutting the flesh in the chest of the behemoth.
Blood gushed out like a fountain. Laing jumped down from the Pit Abomination's body. When the Pit Abomination tried to activate the Dimensional Stone Machine Gun on its body, Laing just happened to duck and dodge the left arm of the Pit Abomination. Then the left arm, which was made into a claw, was cut open by the Nemesis. The twisted muscles and stitched organs were torn open again. This time, it would never close. The Pit Abomination tasted the second great pain in three seconds.
That was its last arm. Now, in front of Laing, there was only a giant beast with six broken arms and bleeding everywhere.
The Allied Army roared wildly, celebrating Earl Laing's victory. The Ratfolk, on the other hand, were defeated. They formed a circle around the Rat Queen, preparing for the final resistance.
After cutting down two more Storm Rats, the Great Teacher of the Demon Hunter Institute realized what a great battle he had witnessed. The old Ernst seemed to have returned to the great Holy War of the past. At that time, Frey Derick, one of the greatest warriors under Ludwig the Savior, and Kabanha, the greatest demon under Khorne.
Ernst's old body was only left with an even more fragile soul. He knew that he had lived for too long, so long that only an exhausted soul was left. In his hundreds of years of life, he had seen too much. He knew the end of every demon hunter who fought with Chaos to the end. He knew that his old heart could not bear any more. So decades ago, he stopped taking in disciples and only went out on one mission every year. He wanted to spend the rest of his life in this way.
And just now, a long-lost passion ignited in the Great Teacher's chest, if it had really appeared.
Ernst began to understand why the goddess of Brittany had chosen Laing to be her Chosen One champion. After fighting with such a filthy existence, there was no trace of corruption on his body.
The Pit Abomination obviously did not intend to give up. It made a Dragon Chariot Charge with all its might. Then, the greatest masterpiece of alchemical biology of the Skaven Ratfolk puffed out its chest, and a green light burst out from its chest.
Inside its chest, there were dozens of cables connected to a huge Dimension Stone! Now, the green electric arcs were exploding repeatedly. The Pit Abomination was trying to overload the Dimension Stone's energy and self-destruct!
"Oh no!" Bellegar smashed a plague monk into a meat patty with his hammer. The Eight Peaks Mountain King roared, "The Pit Abomination is going to self-destruct!"
Laing did not say a word. He took a step forward and began his charge.
The cables in the Pit Abomination's chest continued to accelerate and burn. The crackling sound of electric arcs was very ear-piercing. It cried loudly. In its despair and madness of not being able to protect the Rat Queen, it would drag everyone here down with it!
The Dimension Stone began to burn, and a few cracks appeared on its green surface. The energy inside was being released at an accelerated rate. The Pit Abomination was releasing its last bit of energy. It wanted to offer the corpses of these enemies to the Horned Rats!
The howling stopped abruptly.
Laing's hand pierced through the Pit Abomination's chest. He directly pulled out the huge Dimension Stone from its original position. His hand tore open the Dimension Stone's armor, penetrated the filthy flesh of the Pit Abomination, and pulled out the whole Dimension Stone. Without the Dimension Stone, the Pit Abomination finally fell to the ground. This terrible giant Rat Man beast was defeated by Laing.
With the fall of the Pit Abomination, the Ratmen also began to collapse. Seeing with their own eyes that such an unparalleled giant beast was actually torn apart by the Holy Grail Knight, no Ratmen dared to continue fighting. This group of Ratmen fled in panic.
Of course, Rick's Guard Helberg would not let go of this opportunity. The great swordsmen and the dwarf rangers advanced side by side, while the foot knights and the Oath of Angran advanced together until Suria's Sword of Lyonassai pierced through the Rat Queen's body. Then, Harhav – Gold Fisherman activated the Iron Dragon Cannon, burning the Rat Queen and the hundreds of little Rats around her into ashes.
Marshal Rick let out a sigh of relief. More than a dozen great swordsmen and eight knights had already died in this battle. Victory came at a price. Fortunately, Marshal Rick could accept this price. The Rat Mother had already turned into ashes, and the rest of the ratfolk were no longer a threat. "Alright, what should we do next?"
"Follow this right-angled square rat pattern. That's where the portal is located." Belega pointed to the landmark on the wall.
Right-angled square rat pattern? Laing wondered. What kind of shape was that? He raised his head and found that Belega was right.
The three patterns were just pieced together.
The alliance rested for a while and continued to advance. Laing took a few deep breaths and came to Belega's side. Before he could speak, Belega said, "Oh! Laing, my friend, you really fought well. I like the way you bathed in the flesh of the Rat Men. In the name of Grimnir! In the name of the king of the Angran clan and the king of the Eight Peaks Mountain, this is a compliment from the dwarves. Accept it with gratitude and satisfaction. "
Suria pursed her lips and snickered. The female knight held her husband's arm, her face full of pride and pride.
"This metaphor sounds strange, but I accept your compliment, King Belega." Laing was not used to Belega's awkward compliment. He could only smile casually. "Destroying evil is what I should do. It's also what the lady has always wanted from me."
"Ohhh ~ Your goddess likes to let her Chosen One champion kill rats, right? Then we might have a lot to talk about. "Belega raised his hammer.
"Not just Rats, there are many more. As long as it's an enemy of the lady, I will eliminate it." Laing calmly changed the topic away from the Rat Men.
"It's true for humans. You always have to fight for your survival." Belega touched a soft rebuff, and the king of the Eight Peaks Mountain could only continue. "After destroying the Rat Mother, the Rat Men clan suffered heavy losses. This clan is basically useless."
"The death of the Rat Mother is indeed good news for the Empire, but how can you be so sure that the Rat Mother will definitely pass by where we are?" Marshal Rick Helberg took this opportunity to continue asking questions.
"Not taking down Helmgat was outside of the Rat Men's plan, so it's no longer safe for the Rat Mother to stay here. If I'm not wrong, this clan is retreating through the dimensional stone portal. What we need to do is to destroy the portal. It's best if we can kill the warlord." Belega stroked his white beard and continued. "If that's the case, we might be able to find out the next step of the Rat Men's plan. My clan has experts who specialize in the Skaven Rat Men's language."
The army continued to advance along the tunnel. Along the way, there were a few small-scale battles. The retreating Rat Men had no desire to fight at all. In the face of the human army's attack, they could only retreat and flee.
Killing their way forward, the allied army advanced for a long distance before Sulia suddenly stopped. "Wait!"
"What's wrong?" Laing signaled for everyone to stop.
"We … should have entered Montfort's territory. Look at this symbol." Suria pointed at the dark tunnel. It belonged to Duke Montfort's family coat of arms. The white city coat of arms on a black background was shining in the ancient stone buildings.
"It seems that the Skaven Rat Men's target is not only the Empire." Marshal Rick's eyes widened. "You Brittany people should find a chance to warn Duke Montfort. The most important thing for us now is to destroy the portal!"
"The portal is just ahead." Belega pointed at the green light in the distance.
It was a huge ring made of dimensional stones and advanced Rat Men technology. It was suspended in the middle by a metal chain a few meters in diameter. A small number of Skaven Rat Men were retreating. The warlord of the Skaven Rat Men, Ossade Abyss, was holding a long halberd and waiting impatiently.
The Rat Mother sent a signal for help, but it was quickly cut off. He had no idea how the Rat Mother was doing! This made Ossade feel even more tormented. The Rat Mother was the lifeline of a clan!
"Damn it, damn it! Hairless things! The Horned Rats, the Horned Rats won't let you go! " Ossade wanted to say more, but a wave of flying detonators, dense crossbow bolts, and a barrage of bullets instantly drowned out his location.
The Skaven Rat Men were stunned by this wave of attacks. Their morale plummeted, and most of the Rat Men rushed toward the portal.
It was too late. The cables that formed the portal were severely damaged. In the smoke caused by the collapse of the dimensional stone machine, a Holy Grail Knight, a female knight, Marshal Rick, a demon hunter, and a dwarf were gradually appearing.
Ossade signaled the Rat Men to protect himself. He could see that his army was collapsing. Just as he was about to ask who would be his opponent, the Grail Knight pointed at the Skaven Warlord and shouted loudly.
"There's no need to talk about knights when dealing with such evil creatures. Everyone, attack together!"
"Kill!!!" The allied army of humans and dwarves charged towards the Ratmen like a tidal wave.
"???" The Skaven Warlord's head was still spinning. This knight was even more despicable than the Skaven Rat Men!
