The Dark Realm was located to the east of the Roof of the World, to the south of the Ogre Kingdom, and to the east of the Wretched Lands. It was an extremely barren plain that had been corroded by Chaos for thousands of years, turning into a wasteland filled with a foul stench.
There were many human tribes in many provinces of the Empire that used to be from the Dark Realm. When the Chaos invaded, these human tribes that were still eating raw meat and drinking blood were unable to fight against the Chaos demons. They were either destroyed or surrendered to the Chaos. However, many tribes still chose to leave. They migrated to the east under the oracle of Yuric, the Lord of the White Wolves, and Tal, the God of Nature, the King of the Old World. They crossed the Ridge of the World and settled in the current location of the Empire. Most of the human residents in the famous Tarabek Hill and Miden Hill in the Empire were humans who migrated from the Dark Realm. Yuric, the Lord of the White Wolves, used his giant axe to cut a flat surface in the mountains for his believers to build their main temple.
This was the famous Yuric Temple in Mildenheim.
Tarabek Hill was also the place where the God of Nature, Tal, chose to live in.
These humans had gone through a lot of hardships during their migration, and the most famous of them all was the Dwarves. It was at this time that the Dwarves saw the humans for the first time. The Supreme King of the Eternity Peak was quite dissatisfied with this. He thought that this group of inferior races did not pay respect to the Supreme King of the Dwarves, and recorded the human's disrespect in the Book of Hatred.
The Dwarves allowed the fleeing Humans to cross the Roof of the World. Then they stopped their pursuers, including the Orcs, Green Dwarves, and Ogres, at the east of the Roof of the World.
The birth of the Chaos Dwarves was thousands of years before the Humans migrated from the Dark Realm. The birth of the Chaos Dwarves was explained previously. A group of stubborn Dwarven pioneers were unwilling to leave the Dark Realm. Due to the "correction" of the continental plates by the Magic Toad, Slane, they were trapped in the severely corrupted land and lost contact with the Dwarves in the Roof of the World.
It was common knowledge that the dwarves had a strong resistance to the corruption of Chaos. They had endured the serious corruption of the Dark Realm. They had been more patient in the face of thousands of years of continuous corruption. They had even begged the three main dwarven gods to grant them salvation.
But there was a limit to their patience. For a long time, the three dwarven gods no longer gave any oracles to the desperate dwarves. Amidst the pain, a new god appeared in front of the dwarves. It was a blood-red giant bull and called itself "Father of Darkness," Hassut, a secondary god of Chaos.
Just like that, after an unknown transformation, the Dark Dwarves became Chaos Dwarves.
In the past thousands of years, as a reward for the blood, faith and sacrifice offered by the Chaos Dwarfs, Hassut gave them the secrets of the power of Chaos.
Now, Tarim Khan and his Chaos army had arrived near the Blackwater River. As long as they crossed the Blackwater River, they would reach the kingdom of the Chaos Dwarves.
At this moment, Tarim Khan's army that had set off from the Kurgan Plains was less than 80,000, but many Orcs, giants, and ogres were constantly replenished along the way. Most of these strange creatures looked indescribable, so his army was still more than 100,000.
In the foul-smelling Chaos environment, the King of Maggots and his Army of Chaos set up camp along the river. The entire army searched for food in the wilderness in a disorderly manner. The hungry Chaos Plunderers and Plague Ogres even began to gnaw on the Chaos Eggs in the army. Tarim Khan was helpless. He was only the Chosen Champion of Nurgle, and he only had the blessing of Nurgle. At best, he could only command the Nurgle Champion and the Chaos Warriors of Nurgle who had received Nurgle's blessing.
The only one who could successfully command the entire Chaos army was the Chosen Eternal God of Chaos who had received the blessings of the Four Gods of Chaos.
Therefore, when the army encountered problems with supplies and crossing the river, they were forced to set up camp in winter and rest for a period of time, allowing the plunderers, Orcs, ogres, and trolls to plunder their own food, the entire army was in chaos. Tarim Khan had no choice but to promise to immediately cross the river after a short rest. At the same time, he loudly announced that he had received an oracle from his loving father, Nurgle. He was going to hold a grand sacrificial ceremony to praise his loving father, Nurgle. Only then did he barely suppress the chaos of the Chaos army. The warriors of Kurgan were unhappy that they could not spread the glory of Nurgle on this land. After weighing the upcoming glory, they temporarily endured their dissatisfaction.
After a huge sacrificial ceremony, Tarim Khan underwent drastic changes. He now looked like a lump of rotten flesh with pus oozing out of his body. His entire body emitted a foul odor. Hundreds of mosquitoes and maggots crawled and danced on his rotten flesh. Many of his internal organs were exposed and oozing grease. The subordinates of Tarim Khan had to use ropes and plate armor to "sew" Tarim Khan's body together to prevent Tarim Khan from disintegrating. A crown covered with pustules grew on his head, and on the crown was a twisted horn.
The Chaos leader looked at the towering Black Castle in the distance. The Fortress of the Chaos Dwarves was like an obsidian dagger that pierced into the smoky sky. Located in the southeast of the Chaos Dwarven Kingdom, the Black Castle was a magnificent sight. The huge jagged castle built on a black volcanic plateau seemed to be welcoming the Chaos army from afar.
At this moment, the Chaos Dwarven Warlord, Ashen Prophet Drazihoth's Chaos Dwarven Army was also on standby.
For a thousand years, the Onyx Castle had been standing here. It was the eastern part of the kingdom of the Chaos Dwarves as well as an important defensive stronghold. For a few centuries, the master of this dark land was the powerful spellcaster – the Ashen Prophet Draz 'hoth. The first time this Chaos Dwarf was sent to the Onyx Castle, he was exiled from the capital. However, many years later, he became the master of the castle and the leader of the Chaos Dwarves through his innate cunning and forbearance.
He was a very terrifying Chaos Dwarf warrior and Prophet Wizard. He rode on a terrifying Blazing Golden Bull – Molten Breath and led his army to bring death and fire to the enemy. When he received news that a Chaos army was approaching the Black Castle, Ashen Prophet Drazihoth had already prepared for war. Along the river bank where the Chaos army crossed the river, Ashen Prophet Drazihoth's Chaos Dwarven Army was already on standby. The most elite Purgatory Guards were arranged in the middle of the Chaos Dwarven Army.
These Purgatory Guards were the most powerful warriors among the Chaos Dwarves. These warriors were formed by those who were disgraced or defeated. This kind of disgrace was unbearable for the arrogant Chaos Dwarves. In order to cut off all ties with the past, they put on red-hot iron or bronze masks on their faces and fought with countless terrifying monsters in the desolate wasteland. In the end, they became Purgatory Guards. They were equipped with Purgatory Battle Axes and Flameblade Spears.
The Oath Guards and Flameblade Spear Guards who were slightly weaker in combat power protected Ashen Prophet Drazihoth in front. Rows of black muzzles were pointed at the Chaos army that was preparing to cross the river. There were also many unknown war machines in the Chaos Dwarves' front line. Dozens of Demon Lava Cannons and Siege Mortar Cannons opened their black mouths. A few Chaos Hell Cannons were pointing at the sky.
In addition, there were also a large number of slave auxiliary soldiers.
Obviously, in the face of Tarim Khan's army, Ashen Prophet Drazihoth knew that he was facing a Chaos army of more than 100,000 people, and his own army only had a little more than 10,000 slave auxiliary soldiers. The hope of winning this war was extremely slim. This would be an unprecedentedly fierce battle, and it would come without any warning.
However, Ashen Prophet Drazihoth had no intention of surrendering or negotiating at all. Whether it was the Chaos Dwarves or the Chaos Dwarves, they were stubborn and would not retreat or surrender for any reason. In the face of the overwhelming advantage of Tarim Khan's Chaos army, the Chaos Dwarves' morale was high. As long as they still had a breath, they would fight to the death to protect their castle and the land of Hasut, the Father of Darkness!
Although sacrifice and destruction were inevitable, and although the castle of the Chaos Dwarves might not be able to escape, Drazihoth still decided to face the battle head-on because the glory and gift of Hasut, the Father of Darkness, could not be blasphemed.
If you want to fight, then let's fight!
In this way, on the embankment of the Blackwater River, the army of the Chaos Dwarves and Tarim Khan's Chaos army engaged in a terrible battle.
At the beginning of the battle, Tarim Khan immediately ordered the entire army to press forward. The yellow-green Chaos army directly relied on the shallows of the embankment, forced their way across the river, and charged towards Hasut's army. When Tarim Khan's army approached, the Chaos Dwarves constantly retaliated with arrows and artillery fire. The dense hail of bullets was like hail. Strange projectiles constantly flew from the Chaos Dwarves into the enemy's formation. With a series of loud rumbles, warriors and beasts were constantly blown into a pile of minced meat or burned into a pile of ashes under the ferocious attacks.
The entire Chaos army turned into a terrible sea of fire. The power of thousands of Chaos Dwarves' flintlocks and hundreds of artillery almost shook the entire Blackwater River. Thousands of Army of Chaos fell in succession in the first charge. The demonic firearms of the Chaos Dwarves contained explosive energy, and the Chaos Dwarves were as tenacious as their former compatriots. Even when a small army of Chaos arrived in front of them, the orderly Chaos Dwarves still easily defeated Tarim Khan's vanguard.
However, after a short 20 to 30 minutes of battle, the pressure on the Chaos Dwarves immediately began to increase. Because of the absolute disadvantage in numbers, they soon fell into the sea of Chaos army. Tarim Khan calmly ordered the entire army to press forward, causing the Chaos army to crush the Chaos Dwarves in numbers. After the first few rounds of volley fire, the Chaos Dwarves began to fall into close combat.
The advantage of the Chaos Warriors who believed in Nurgle began to show. Although they were slow, fatal injuries to ordinary people could not stop them. Relying on the blessing of their loving father, these Chaos Warriors personally attacked the enemy's formation and began to fight. The Chaos Dwarves' musketeers were forced into close combat.
At the same time, Chaos Dragon Knight Ohebarr Poison Gut, who was riding a Chaos Dragon, led the air troops and Chaos Knights to the back of the Chaos Dwarf army under Khagan Tamu's orders. Khagan Tamu accurately judged that the Chaos Dwarves were moving slowly and that they were unable to protect their logistics route under such great pressure.
Chaos Dragon Knight Ohebar Poison Gut had indeed intercepted the Chaos Dwarves' supply team and launched a charge and pursuit at the fleeing enemies, successfully blocking the Chaos Dwarves' supply. Now, the powerful war machines and cannons, as well as the firearms that the Chaos Dwarves were proud of, could no longer be replenished.
The Chaos Dwarves' firepower began to slowly weaken. What was worse was that these Chaos Dwarves had expended too much ammunition to attack the Chaos Eggs, Chaos Trolls, and Chaos Ogres.
At that moment, the entire Black Water River had turned into a slaughterhouse of flesh and blood. It looked like Tarim Khan and his Chaos army had the absolute advantage, but the Chaos Dwarves had no intention of retreating. These Chaos Dwarves shouted the name of Father of Darkness Hasut as they joined the battlefield in groups to fill the gap.
Black smoke filled the sky as the light of blood and fire spread across the battlefield. The Chaos Warriors shouted for Nurgle and for glory as they joined the battlefield. The fall of thousands of Kurgans wouldn't stop them. They would use their blood to open a path to glory for themselves, Tarim Khan, and the benevolent Nurgle.
The war lasted from morning to noon.
Amidst the chaos, Tarim Khan gestured at Sayre. He used his festering and festering trachea to issue an order. "Sayre, send them out."
Sayre held his witchcraft staff and frowned. "Are you sure?"
"I said, send them out immediately!" Tarim Khan said loudly. "Immediately!"
Sayre glared at the pile of rotten meat that was Tarim Khan. "You …"
"Immediately! Otherwise, you go. "The Maggot King's attitude was firm.
Sayre was infuriated. He was really unwilling to send out his trump card, but the situation before him wasn't optimistic. The Great Warlock of the Dao Calamity Tribe finally nodded in agreement.
"Send out the War Mammoth Brigade immediately!"
"Send out the War Mammoth Brigade!"
