PS: I'm back at school today, so I'm going to update in advance.
Old World. Outside Nur City. The Empire's right flank.
Empire General Graaff was leading four Empire infantry regiments and two musket brigades in a tough battle against the Doe's Cadre. Even though the Empire's army was putting up a strong resistance, they were still no match for the Chaos army. Their defensive line was being pushed back step by step, and one stronghold after another was being seized on the battlefield. Not far from them, Raven Dam was silently watching the battle from above the Wesson River.
Even though Sayel the Non-Believer was confident in his ability to defeat Raven Dam's defenders, he still felt extremely repulsed by Tarim Khan's orders. The Chaos Adepts of Doe 'egan were truly unwilling to throw all their forces into the battle. Even an idiot would know that the ten thousand Doe' egan cavalry under his command might be able to break through, but they would suffer unbearably huge casualties.
Sayel the Non-Believer was already dissatisfied with his alliance with Tarim Khan. He was torn between temporarily putting aside their differences and taking Nur in one go, or conserving his strength to see how the battle would unfold. The Non-Believer's heart wavered. When he thought of the results of his divination that Tarim Khan's future would be either calamity or disaster, Sayel couldn't make up his mind even after thinking for a long time.
Even so, the Empire's defenders at Raven Dam were showing signs of not being able to hold on. The four Empire infantry regiments were showing signs of defeat. Empire General Graaff wasn't in a hurry. He immediately ordered the remaining Empire infantry to retreat to the second line of defense according to the drill.
If Sayel the Faithless had made up his mind to charge at the defeated imperial army with all his cavalry, or turn around to attack the imperial army that was still locked in a bitter battle with Tamu Khagan's tribe, he might have been able to crush the imperial army outside of Nur in one go. However, Sayel the Faithless didn't. Apart from ordering the smaller tribal chiefs under his command to continue the assault, he sat on his Chaos Mammoth for the time being, biding his time.
The cunning non-believer wanted to observe the battle.
Sure enough, as Sayel the Faithless had predicted, Tarim Khan's rotten knights had penetrated deep into the Empire's army. But when they tried to advance further, they were met with great resistance.
Nur's Grand Chanter Casmir the Ninth stood on the War Altar of the Church of Justice, leading the Church of Justice's army into battle! Casmir IX held the Twin-Tailed Comet Scepter in his hand and chanted the name of Emperor Charlemagne and the God of Justice. Golden light descended from the sky and shrouded the rotten knights of Nurgle in a rain of light. Thousands of ascetics rushed into the battlefield under the blessings of the battle priests. They waved the flail in their hands and kept twitching their bodies to keep themselves awake in the pain and torture. The weapons in their hands were the best weapons against the Warriors of Chaos and the rotten knights of Nurgle. Under the lead of the battle priests, the ascetics engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand battle with the enemy.
"Forward! For the Empire! " Templar Knight Captain Al- Frey raised the sword in his hand and charged into the enemy formation. Behind him, the female Norska, Ingrid, also shouted the slogan of killing all the northern barbarians. She charged into the battlefield and cleaved a Chaos Warrior into two with a swing of her axe.
The Rapid Hell Wind Cannons also opened fire. Dozens of cannons opened fire under the control of the Nur engineers. These terrifying war machines constantly spun and spat out tongues of fire from the cannons. The Chaos army was caught off guard as the entire army was instantly engulfed by the tongues of fire from the cannons. In the blink of an eye, nearly half of the hundreds of rotten knights died on the spot. The ferocious tongues of fire left wounds all over the Chaos Eggs, turning them into spent arrows. They were surrounded and killed by the crazy Empire's soldiers. As for the Warriors of Chaos, they engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand battle with the ascetics and collapsed one after another.
The anxious situation in the middle of the army made the Faithless Sayre think about whether he should press on regardless of the cost. He suddenly realized that he was surrounded by flames!
More Empire reinforcements boarded small Nur gunboats and warships to reinforce the Crow Dam garrison! Every gunboat carried dozens of Empire soldiers and a few cannons. The intense artillery fire landed in the middle of the cavalry, causing the Dorgans to stagger. The frightened mounts made the scene even more chaotic. The furious marauder cavalry attempted to charge across the turbulent river before launching a quick counterattack to wipe out the enemy in front of them.
At that moment, the Korgans' weakness in the water was finally exposed. These Korgans, who weren't even afraid of swallowing the Chaos Eggs, quickly realized that the turbulent river made them lose their balance. Their mounts couldn't adapt to the Wesson River's current. The Korgans became drowning dogs as many of them struggled desperately in the water, choking on water.
The Empire's army didn't give the Korgans any chance. The Korgans who fell into the water were killed by the Empire's muskets and crossbows. Blood dyed the Wesson River red.
"Ahhh!" Only then did the Faithless Sayre realize what a huge mistake he had made. He immediately ordered his army to attack. He had to take down the dam immediately!
But it was too late.
Just as Sayre gave the order, the warship that sailed out of Nur had already docked. The hatch opened and a loud song sounded from the cabin.
The Nu 'er Iron Armored Army and the old guards officially joined the battlefield. They sang military songs together and stepped forward. They held weapons made by the dwarven workshops in their hands and wore half-body plate armor as they disembarked in rows.
Everyone was singing a military song written by Duke Laing.
It was called "La Marseillaise."
"Advance, sons and daughters of the motherland, rise up! A glorious day awaits you!"
"Look, evil is facing us, raising the flag stained with blood! Raise the flag stained with blood!"
"Do you hear that? The ferocious enemy howls for the motherland. He will rush to your side and kill your wife and children. "
"Arm yourselves, citizens of the kingdom!"
"Raise your weapons! Citizens of the kingdom! "
"Advance! Advance! "
"Expel the evil from our land!"
The appearance of the powerful reinforcements greatly boosted the fighting spirit of the Empire's army. Everyone had heard of how elite the Armoured Nur and Old Guard were. They were the trump cards of Countess Emmanuel and Duke Laing. When they entered the battlefield, the Empire's garrison erupted into shocking cheers.
The Armoured Nur's commander, Jubal Fokke, and the Old Guard's commander, Bertrand, had solemn expressions as they began to command their troops.
The Armoured Nur and Old Guard immediately entered battle mode. Unlike normal Empire musketeers, the Armoured Nur and Old Guard wielded the best muskets produced by the dwarven workshops and Nur factories. After a volley of bullets, hundreds of Kurgan marauders were slaughtered. A few of the Kurgan marauders who approached these elites were immediately pulled off their warhorses by the halberds and two-handed swordsmen and chopped into minced meat. Even the Warriors of Chaos with plate armor were unable to withstand the might of these elites.
"Armoured Nur! Armoured Nur! "
"Old Guard! Old Guard! "
The morale of the Empire's army was greatly boosted as they shouted their names.
The Metal Mages of the Empire's Royal Mages Academy disembarked one after another. Due to the agreement between the Amethyst Academy and the Alchemy Academy, the newly appointed Chief Royal Mage of the Empire, Gail, had dispatched his Metal Mages to participate in the battle of Nur. These Metal Mages were all wearing golden masks and cloaks. Their bodies were covered in various scriptures, and a gilded 'Holy Word Record 3.0' hung at their waists. Their chests were branded with the symbol of a golden double-headed eagle as they chanted 'For the Emperor' and 'For the Holy Tyra'. Under their chants, the Doegan cavalry were horrified to find that the weapons in their hands had turned into heavy blocks of lead or molten iron. A torrent of metal swept across the battlefield, and the morale of the Empire's army was greatly boosted after receiving the assistance of magic.
On the contrary, the morale of the Kurgan cavalry of the Doegan Tribe suffered a severe blow. For the first time, the Kurgan cavalry had doubts about whether they could win this battle. However, they still obeyed Sayre's orders and charged towards the Empire's army. However, the Old Guard and the Armoured Nur stubbornly withstood the attacks of the Kurgan cavalry and even launched a powerful counterattack.
The battle was beginning to turn in the Empire's favor.
"No! I can't lose here! " Sayre finally decided to take the field himself. He ordered the Doegan Chaos Mammoth under him to charge into the Empire's army. He wanted to let these lowly humans have a taste of his magic and his strength!
However, what the Great Adept of Doegan didn't know was that it was his decision to take the field himself that had completely ruined the final chance of victory for the Doegan army.
That was because he was riding a twenty-meter-tall Chaos Mammoth and charging across the vast battlefield, firing countless spells and lightning bolts. Wherever he passed, countless Empire defenders died. Under Sayre's pink flames, at least a dozen Old Guard and the Armoured Nur were devoured by the flames. They were either reduced to ashes or twisted chunks of flesh.
However, the twenty-meter-tall Chaos Mammoth was too big of a target. Sayre's foolish charge attracted the attention of all the defenders on the walls of Nur.
Even Emilia, who was supervising the battle on the walls with her son in her arms, noticed him.
The Countess of the Empire had a ferocious expression on her face. Little Frey Derick looked at his mother in fear, while little Devenshire was excitedly waving his little fists and cheering for his parents. Emilia pointed at the Chaos Mammoth that Sayre was riding and let out a hysterical roar at her subordinates, "Fire immediately! Exterminate that beast! Now! "
"Understood!" The defenders on the city wall responded loudly, and the engineers from Nur University immediately began to calculate the trajectory of the bullet.
Following Sayl's charge into Nur's defensive range, the earth trembled with the roar of cannons. Dozens of defensive cannons opened fire in unison, drowning Sayl and his Chaos Mammoth. Dozens of bloody holes were blasted into the Chaos Mammoth, killing it on the spot. Sayl didn't even understand what happened before he fell off his mount and onto the chaotic battlefield. Sayl crawled up from the ground with his face covered in grime. Just as he was about to chant a spell, he suddenly felt a chill in his chest.
“？？？” The faithless lowered his head and found a black arrow in his chest. The arrow had pierced through his Chaos barrier and pierced through his heart. "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
"Bang!" A mercury bullet hit him in the head, and half of Sayre's head was blown off, and his screams stopped.
Keeping his longbow, Bertrand grumbled at Zhubal Fokke, "You stole my kill."
"This isn't stealing, it's confirming that the target is dead." Zhubal Fokke unhurriedly reloaded his long-barreled runic firearm with a sniping scope, "I like this method of confirmation."
At the same time, Chaos Dragon Knight Auerbach Poisongut's figure had also fallen to the ground. He'd lost his life along with his Chaos Dragon. The Dark Lady of Nur rode on the violet dragon, and she gazed coldly at the entire Dao 'e Gan army. The violet dragon took a deep breath, and its dense dragon breath swallowed the entire group of Kurgan marauders.
What was worse was that right behind Doegan's army, a high-pitched horn sounded.
Laing and Suria led the Brittany knights around the perimeter and charged towards the Doegan cavalry. Laing was like a silver meteor charging at the front. In the fear of losing their leader, the Doegan chieftains erupted with the last of their courage in despair. The remaining five thousand Doegan horsemen gave up on attacking the Empire's formation, and launched a counterattack against the Brittany knights!
The torrent of steel collided face to face. The champion of the Goddess of the Lake, Leon, was simply unstoppable. All the Doegan Cavalrymen who tried to get close to him were smashed into meat paste. The Mjolnir in his hand flipped back and forth, killing those who grazed him. Bolts of lightning were summoned by him, smashing hundreds of Doegan Cavalrymen into pieces. The Sword of Lyonassi in the hands of the female knight, Sulia, harvested the lives of the Doegan Cavalrymen like harvesting wheat while shouting the name of the Goddess of the Lake!
Relying on Laing, Suria, and a few Grail Knights as the vanguard, the Brittany knights directly crushed the Doegan horsemen. The Kurgan horsemen were shredded into pieces like paper, while the enemies near Suria were instantly burned like candles thrown into a furnace.
The horsemen of the Doegan horsemen completely collapsed. The Chaos horsemen screamed and fled. When the battle on the Empire's right flank ended, only a few hundred Doegan horsemen escaped.
Raven Dam was safe.
While the battle of Raven Dam was in full swing, the Empire's left flank was also facing a direct test from the Chaos Dwarves.
The artillery battle between both sides had basically come to an end. The few cannon positions on the Empire's left flank were basically destroyed by the Chaos Dwarves, and the Chaos Dwarves paid the price of thousands of casualties and most of the demonic cannons were destroyed.
The Gray Prophet Draz was unwilling to let his subordinates continue to be consumed in the endless quagmire of war. Compared to the Khan's grand plan, he was more concerned about how many lives he had to pay and how much money he had to spend.
However, the war was still going on. The heavily armored Ironguard and Purgatory Guards charged at the Empire's position. The Empire's musketeers and crossbowmen were almost unable to cause any effective damage to the Chaos Dwarves' heavy infantry. The Empire's army could not suppress the fear in their hearts when they saw the invulnerable Chaos Dwarves.
As the Chaos Dwarves got closer, a beautiful figure appeared in the Empire's military formation. She had long and pointy ears and tender, wheat-colored skin. She wore a black-and-white maid costume and held a navy blue long-handled magic staff. Even though her appearance was hidden behind a mask, she was still so beautiful that it was dazzling. At the very least, the Empire's soldiers were in a daze as they looked at her.
The amber-colored eyes of the newcomer stared at the army of Chaos Dwarves. She raised her staff, and the wind and clouds within a few meters surged. The smoke and dust on the entire battlefield formed a huge whirlpool, and endless dark magic energy surrounded her body.
"Dahl's Great Curse, Hekati's Secret Technique."
"Distorted Void!"
The space was torn apart, and the charging Chaos Dwarves' army was shrouded by the torn space. They were horrified to see that in the boundless dark realm, colored clouds and bright ribbons blended together, forming an object that mortals could not understand. Countless Chaos winds and arcane torrents rolled in it, and they could vaguely hear the whispers of the Chaos Demons.
Light and void collided and dissipated at the edge of this realm. This vast space was filled with magic, illusions, and exiled life forms. However, the Chaos Dwarves did not have the time to think so much. Thousands of Chaos Dwarves screamed and prayed in despair as they were sucked into the depths of the distorted void. Then, the space crack closed completely, leaving only the light of the arcane spell flashing slightly.
With just one spell, more than a thousand Chaos Dwarves disappeared on the spot. Other than some chaotic magic winds in the air, nothing was left.
Whether it was the Empire's army or the Chaos Dwarves, they were all dumbfounded at this scene. When the Empire's soldiers regained their senses and wanted to look for the female Elf again, she had already disappeared for a long time.
Gray Prophet Draz's mouth was wide open. He could not believe that more than a thousand soldiers were gone just like that!
"Your Excellency Gray Prophet! Khan wants to know why you didn't attack! " A rotten knight came from afar. His body was full of holes and arrows. "Please attack immediately! This is an order! "
Draz took out his Devil Flamethrower and shot the rotten knight's head. He roared hysterically at the corpse of the rotten knight, "I'm going! I was killed in one hit! What's there to say? "
Before he could finish his sentence, a series of earth-shattering noises suddenly erupted from the rear of the imperial army. A new force suddenly appeared on the imperial left flank that had been in a state of chaotic battle, carving out a bloody path for them.
Steam and giant bodies filled the air. Four magnificent and strange mechanical creatures rushed forward together while spewing out black smoke. Their momentum seemed to be able to crush all creatures in front of them.
"For Mannen, for Marlin Castle! For Grand Duke Schultz! " "Blackbeard" Teach, the leader of the Mannen Blade mercenary group, stood on one of the mechanical creatures. "Of course, there's also gold!"
"Go, go, go, go!"
Under Emilia's command, the land ships joined the battlefield.
