Chapter 455: The Raid of the Skaven Ratmen (Moe Lord Plus 6/10)
And when some trolls more than four meters tall, who seemed to have the characteristics of various creatures such as orangutans, ogres, and rat people, and were covered with various scars and obvious hand-stitched marks, with twisted and deformed muscles all over their bodies, and a pair of giant metal claw sleeves that glowed green, even the chief fire magic master, who was originally silent, couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
"Sigma is on top, what are these ugly trolls? Why does it look like it was artificially made? ”
The Supreme Alchemist of the Empire next to him couldn't help but snort coldly when he heard this, "Just look at their appearance, of course, they were made by these despicable and shameless rat people!" ”
As he spoke, he also unleashed a torrent of metal, burning several Norsca warships a few hundred meters away in front of him through the bottom of the ship, before those pirates came into contact with the cold water, the hot metal had instantly burned their skin and flesh, and then within a few seconds, their entire bodies turned into ashes, not even bones remained, in front of the most powerful metal mages in the entire Old World, even if they were all warriors from various tribes, they still looked so fragile.
"Why? Why are they doing such horrible experiments on their own kind?! ”
At this time, the chief fire magic master didn't have time to fight with the other party, because he was really a little shocked, not only because of the other party's hateful appearance, but also because with his knowledge, he quickly judged that the inside of the other party's body had the unique stench of dimensional stones.
Although the Dimension Stone once caused a wave among the mage community because of the powerful energy it contains, as almost all mages who have used the Dimension Stone as an energy source have ended in madness and death, the Dimension Stone has also become an explicitly forbidden evil item, and now except for the guys under the Black Lady of Nunn who will use them to a limited extent, I am afraid that only the necromancers and vampires of Sylvania are still interested in it.
But he didn't expect that now he would actually see traces of the use of the Dimension Stone in the Skaven Rat Man, a creature that has always been no different from a goblin in his heart, and the other party was obviously not just in contact, how could he not be shocked? Should it be said that the ignorant are fearless?
However, while he was extremely shocked in his heart, he did not forget to release a series of large fireballs, which ignited more than a dozen Noskaron ships. Compared to these Skaven rat people, the Norsca pirates in front of them are more threatening.
These nezumi are only likely to cause serious damage to their own side, but once the Norsca pirates break through their own fire blockade and break through the infantry line, although they don't want to admit it, the other side has a high chance of directly defeating their own troops by virtue of their superiority in strength.
In case they take advantage of the situation and go straight to the hinterland of the empire to plunder, then it will be not only the Nord Territory that will be unlucky, but also the Oster Territory, the Hawk Territory, and the Rick Territory... There is even a reputation that His Majesty has managed to accumulate!
The Supreme Alchemist of the Empire snorted coldly again, "Why? Of course, there is only one possibility for this, for more powerful combat effectiveness! What is the value of their lives for these lowly rats? ”
Of course, he can also see clearly what his old opponent can see, and it is indeed the power of the dimensional stone. It's just that I don't know what I thought, and a trace of self-deprecation and admiration flashed in the eyes of the highest alchemist of the empire.
But no matter what the two legendary mages discussed here, the Empire's reserves had indeed begun to fight back quickly and ferociously, in addition to the cavalry units led by the Generalissimo himself, many infantry units were also lined up in neat formation, rushing from all directions to support, and soon formed large and small circles, and then muskets, bows and arrows, and all kinds of magic smashed at them, and began to try to drive the nezumi back into their burrows.
They weren't the main targets of the Empire's battle, and now that the Herald had driven them out, they would naturally have time to clean up these dastardly rats when the war against the Norsca pirates was over.
Under the ferocious attack of the Imperial side, the Skaven rats suffered heavy casualties in an instant, and they didn't seem to expect the other party's reaction to be so fast, but the accident is an accident, and the heavy loss is a loss, which does not mean that they really have no ability to resist.
And for them, it doesn't matter if the ordinary cannon fodder class dies, it just happens to save the food of the tribe, as long as the goal of the mission is achieved!
The battle became more intense as more than a dozen mages in tattered robes and armed with text-type staffs appeared, and began to cast magic while directing the battle with dozens of well-armed and well-armored nezumi leaders.
Even Levi and the others have encountered such a nezumi gray prophet, the straight-line distance between him and Warblade Lambert is not too far, but there are also some nezumi troops among them, although this gives him an excuse to lead the troops closer, but now there is a small trouble, there is a heroic unit of Skaven nezumi, and he actually directly leads a large number of nezumen to stop in front of them!
The staff in the other party's hand made of the bones of an unknown animal, the head resembled the word "Wen", and in the center was a large stone that emitted a dazzling green light from the inside, which was something that Levi was very familiar with.
For the sake of Ophine's soul, he had been busy hunting down the nezumi for a long time, or buying it at a high price on the black market, but fortunately, as Ophine's strength and skill continued to improve, they no longer needed it.
It is a dimensional stone that has strong power and strong side effects. And such a large piece is no longer a fragment, except for the undead, I'm afraid that only the bold rat people dare to make them into weapons, and hold them in their hands every day, these rat people are indeed crazy enough!
Or is it because of the influence of the Dimension Stones that they have become so crazy?!
Looking at Levi, who was leading the troops on a rampage, the Grey Prophet suddenly let out a strange cry unique to the nezumi, "Squeak, human thing, die!" ”
With the shouts of the Grey Prophet, a large number of Storm Rats, who had thick muscles and strong bodies, and looked much stronger than ordinary human soldiers, led by several trolls more than four meters tall, together with many rat cannon fodder, rushed towards Levi and the others, while the Grey Prophet himself began to wave his staff, ready to cast his evil magic.
Most of the magic of humans is taught by the High Elves, and the nezumi do not enjoy this treatment as a matter of course, so the understanding and application of magic by the two races are not exactly the same, but this does not mean that their magic power will be weak, and even with the assistance of the dimensional stone, the destruction and plague magic unique to their clan are often better at bringing death and destruction than ordinary human magic!
Looking at the oncoming rats, Levi didn't even frown, although they were not only equipped with heavy armor, but also the weapons in their hands were halberds specifically aimed at cavalry, which seemed to be a great threat to ordinary cavalry, and most of them also had skills such as counter-charge, but the number was only a few squads, which was nothing for them who had experienced a hundred battles? Horses' hooves alone can trample them to death!
As for the other monsters that were more than four meters tall, although they scared the ordinary cavalrymen a little, Levi had already learned about this enemy called the rat troll on the forum.
Although they are also considered to be Tier 5 elite monsters, and have a series of skills such as rage, armor piercing, and morale reduction, if they rush into ordinary infantry, they can also cause a lot of chaos, but now they have chosen the wrong target to attack, they should not stand in front of them!
Levi suddenly raised the legendary halberd in his hand, and the white and golden fighting spirit shone brightly, and then a white light quickly spread towards the cavalry behind him, "Bretonnia Cavalry Spear Formation, for the goddess, charge!" ”
Levi took the lead and charged the rats, followed by heroic units such as Bloomus and Tanato, then the Royal Core Knights from Rick's Territory, the Kingdom Knights from Bretonnia, followed by Rick's Praetorian Guard, and then the other weaker cavalry units.
Although the oncoming storm rats swung their weapons as best they could, after Levi used the Iron Rider Breakthrough Skill, their small formation was instantly broken.
The rat trolls were quite good, showing not only the speed and ferocity of the nezumi, but also the strength and resistance of the ogre, and the characteristics and strengths of these two creatures were displayed in them at the same time, and they lived up to their name.
Even in the face of the cavalry army, they also struggled to use their teeth and claws to counterattack, and from time to time they were also very savage with their shoulders to launch a collision forward, although the action was rude, but the actual effect was quite good, ordinary 4th order cavalry even in Levi's battle attributes, and the blessing of various skills, or easily torn to pieces by them, worthy of a monster strengthened with dimensional stones.
Seeing Levi and the other cavalry units getting closer and closer, the Nezumi Grey Prophet was not too nervous, but instead laughed darkly, it raised its hand to summon a dark energy vortex, and threw it directly at Levi, "Human thing, try the spell of the Ashin clan alchemist, Shadow Vortex!" ”
Leeviston's heart jumped, it wasn't the Grey Prophet, but the alchemists of the Aishin clan? Such a strong Aurora style appellation? This is information that has never been gathered before!
But there was no more time for him to think, because since he came out, the energy vortex had expanded rapidly, and in just a few seconds, it had turned into an energy vortex with a radius of more than ten meters, enveloping Levi and other vanguard units in half.
Levi didn't feel any damage, but a huge force was trying to forcibly change the direction and speed of his travel, like the strong wind pressure of a hurricane.
However, Levi, who was luxuriously equipped, his magic resistance had already far surpassed that of mortals, and the fighting energy on his body was only so bright, he instantly got rid of this control and directly killed the Fang Shi of the Ai Xin clan.
Seeing Levi's escape from the power of the Shadow Vortex so quickly, the Ashin Clan Fang also seemed to be startled, and it interrupted the second magic it was releasing in a slight panic, and then took something out of its waist and slammed it to the ground.
With a soft "bang", a large area with a strong pungent stench, accompanied by billowing smoke, came out, enveloping the area of ten meters or so around the Fang Shi of the Ai Xin clan.
At this moment, even Levi didn't dare to get into it easily, although he was not afraid of the other party, even if the Ashin clan alchemist summoned a rat troll again, he was not afraid, but the other party's method really made him have to think about it.
What kind of mage unit is this, this looks like the style of ninjas, isn't that the smoke bomb that ninjas use when they retreat?!
And the spell called the Shadow Vortex, Levi was also absolutely sure that it had never appeared in front of anyone before.
Could it be that this is a third-line spell other than the plague and destruction systems mastered by the Skaven rat people? Coupled with the name of that alchemist, could it be that these guys learned something in the Aurora Empire in the East?
Ten seconds later, when Wallace, Tanato, and the others led a large number of cavalry to kill many storm rats, and killed the rat trolls, and came to Levi's side, the smoke bombs used by the Ashin clan alchemists had also dispersed.
To Levi's surprise, it had disappeared, and in its place were more than a hundred or so strong nezumi with new long-handled weapons, and now Levi was 100% sure that they had definitely learned something from Aurora, because the weapons in the hands of these new nezumi were Guan Dao that he had never seen in the hands of any enemy before, and they were all glowing green, and they were inseparable from the dimensional stone at a glance!
