Chapter 454: Fighting the Norskar Pirates (3)

Even though his ears were full of the roar of various cannons, Levi's laughter at this moment still reached the ears of the half-elf Reiner very accurately, and he was suddenly a little curious, when was this, this human named Levi could still laugh out loud? Isn't he sure that this battle will be won?

However, in my own opinion, the battle has only just begun, although the Norsca pirates have been slaughtered by the war machinery on the human side of the Empire, but their numbers have an overwhelming advantage, they will come closer sooner or later, and then it will be the time when the victory will be really decided!

However, seeing that there was nothing going on now, the other party's mood seemed to be very good, and the half-elf Reiner finally couldn't hold back his curiosity, and he couldn't help but ask, "Lord Levi, why are you so happy?" ”

"Haha, nothing, I'm just thinking about some happy but things, after the battle, I took a trip along the coast, you said the first goal, how about choosing Fort Marion?!" Levi asked seemingly casually.

But Reiner's heart tightened, and then he pretended to be casual and laughed, "Marienburg is a good place, it is said that it was the largest trading port in the whole Old World, and as long as you have money, you can buy anything." ”

Levi smiled, "yes, I also think it's very good, but I haven't had the chance to go there before." ”

Reiner laughed dryly, but he was a little apprehensive in his heart, the other party mentioned Marion Fort for no reason, which is not a good sign, considering that in addition to the largest trading port, it is the only place in the Old World where the legend of that race actually exists.

Could it be that the other party has seen something, so they are testing themselves?

Thinking of this, Reiner couldn't help but secretly complain, blaming these guys behind him, keeping a straight face all day long, as if others owed money, they didn't know how to work around at all, and it was normal for others to be suspicious!

It's just that if the other party really just wants to go to Marienburg, then should he ask to go with him? Otherwise, if you rely on your own few people, it is really dangerous to go to Marienburg...

Reiner, the half-elf, couldn't help but feel a little troubled for a while, but Levi didn't pay any more attention to him, because as the battle continued, more and more enemies appeared in his field of vision.

At first, the Imperial side can also suppress the Norscan pirates with ferocious firepower, making them impossible to get close at all, and hundreds of Norscan pirates die tragically every second, whether it is marauders, berserkers, or monster units such as swamp monsters and ice trolls, there is not much difference under the attack of cannons, and after the ship is sunk, those monster units tend to sink faster and die faster.

At this rate, I am afraid that in another hour or two, these menacing enemies will all be bombarded on the sea, and they will not be able to break through the blockade of many heavy firepower weapons, so not only the morale of the indigenous troops of the empire is very strong, but many of the Chosen Heroes are even more excited.

They came from all parts of the old world, some crossed thousands of miles, some traveled for half a month, and went through hardships and dangers before finally successfully reaching the Nord Territory, in order to obtain enough merits, and then get the rich reward promised by the emperor?

Even in their opinion, the other side is no longer the murderous Norscar pirates, they are all trophies waiting to be harvested!

However, this is only an ideal situation, things will not always go as smoothly as they imagined, and all kinds of war machines also need to change ammunition, and they cannot be in a state of attack all the time.

And I don't know if it's because of workmanship problems or improper operation, on average, every three to five minutes, Levi can always hear a loud noise that is different, and then billowing black smoke rises from the shore, and a cannon malfunctions, and has to stop firing.

Ordinary mortars and cannons are okay, their power is there, and even if the fire is stopped, the impact is not particularly huge.

But if the Hell Chain Spray or the Hell Storm rocket launcher stops firing and strikes, often the enemy in a small area is temporarily safe, because under the emperor's order, each war machine has its own attack area and attack target, and the Norscar pirates on the opposite side can accurately sense this situation at the first time, they will let out a more excited howl, and then try to start approaching the shore.

Although there are reserves on the Imperial side, as well as various mage and artisan units to prevent this and carry out emergency remedial measures, it is inevitable that some gaps will be created, which will give the Norsca pirates an opportunity to take advantage of.

Although their ship was quickly shattered and destroyed, they were able to get closer to the shore during this gap, and they were already able to swim over!

At first, it was okay, the many crossbowmen and musketeers on the shore were not just there to pose, but as more and more of the empire's war machinery malfunctioned, there were more and more Norsca pirates swimming towards the shore, and some strange-looking sea monsters also began to emerge from the water and approached the shore together.

Levi felt a little strange as he commanded the melee troops to move forward to cover the ranged troops commanded by Sienna.

If there is a problem with some war machinery, it is an unexpected probability factor, but according to the current situation, it is more like a human factor, because all the faulty cannons stay on the shore.

The ships brought by the Sigmar Pope worked well from start to finish, especially the powerful weapons known as the Light Magician, which could destroy all targets in a straight line with every attack, and the power was outrageous!

At this time, there was a muffled sound behind him, Levi didn't have to look back, he knew that it must be another war machine malfunctioning, if it was the empire's, the emperor was rich and didn't care about this money, but if it was the heroes chosen by God, it would be really unlucky, even if it was the cheapest mortar, it would cost a considerable amount of money to order it, and this kind of war machinery was completely different from ordinary ballistas or something, they were all limited.

But soon there was a series of screams and angry shouts behind him, and the sound tended to get louder and louder, and the whole ground shook slightly, as if a cavalry unit was approaching in the distance.

Levi immediately knew that something was not right, and he quickly turned around, and then he realized that something was wrong.

A new group of enemies appeared in the positions of many of the Chosen Heroes, and they appeared in such a different way that many of the precautions that the Emperor had prepared before failed to come in handy, because the opponents had come out of the ground!

I saw that the earth, which was originally covered by ice and snow, suddenly had many huge craters, and countless large rats with gray-black and purple fur and various weapons swarmed out like a blowout, launching an indiscriminate attack on all humans in sight, and the Skaven rats officially joined the war!

Although Levi was very close to the Emperor's troops, he was probably a blessing in disguise and was not selected as the target of attack by the other party, and these Skaven people also knew how to pinch soft persimmons, but he didn't have much joy because of this, because even after such a quick glance, he also found that the purpose of the Skaven people was very clear, that is, to destroy all kinds of war machinery as the first goal!

Levi immediately understood that the war machines that had malfunctioned before were absolutely inseparable from these big rats, and if all the war machines of the Chosen Heroes were destroyed by them, and they didn't need to continue to attack, those furious Norscan pirates would be able to rush to land and launch a large-scale attack on them, and these Skaven rats would not even have to stay here at that time, they would just be able to drive away!

They must be stopped!

"Bloomes, Tanato, Flame Blade...

Levi called out the names of his reliable subordinates in a row, and then gave them the latest battle order, "Go and rescue the friendly forces that are close to us, and make sure to keep those cannons as much as possible while ensuring your own safety, and the battle here will be handed over to Sienna, Werner, Aeus, and Temu." ”

"Reinhardt, I won't tell you more, let's kill as many enemies as possible while protecting our own positions. But in such a chaotic situation, you'd better stay with your Rick Janissaries, I'm afraid the enemy might launch a surprise attack on you, and I'll do that little goal for you. ”

Unlike most of her subordinates, Reinhardt is not only one of the best swordsmen of the younger generation of the Empire, but she is also now the head of the second regiment of the Nunn Goshawk Knights, and is preparing to oust the current Northern Eagle, she has enough judgment of her own, and most importantly, they only cooperate with each other, not superiors and subordinates, and Levi can't call her around so casually.

Reinhardt nodded solemnly to indicate that she knew, of course she was not a fool, if the Northern Eagle or Warblade Lambert wanted to make a ghost, of course they would take advantage of the most chaotic situation now! As for that little target, although Levi didn't say it, of course she knew who it would be!

"Levi, then he'll leave it to you!"

Levi nodded, although the appearance of the Skaven rat was a little unexpected, but for today's situation, he had secretly discussed with Hawkeye several times before, and the other party has now fallen into his own rhythm, as long as nothing happens, Reinhardt will be able to get his wish immediately.

He then turned to look at the half-elf Reiner, "Reiner, do you have the courage to join me in 'rescuing' that blade Lambert?" ”

Similar to Levi, the Avengers' Hawkeye also mixed up in a pretty good position, not too far from Levi's position.

Naturally, Lambert followed them. After this period of frequent battles, coupled with Hawkeye's various methods, the number of his direct troops is now very scarce, although he is still nominally Hawkeye's superior, but because of the absolute gap in strength, even he has to make some compromises.

Otherwise, according to his mind, of course he would not choose his current location, but it would be better to find a remote corner to stay, and try to be as lazy as possible if he can!

But it's not bad now, although Hawkeye didn't arrange him to the front line, but they had also thought about possible attacks in the rear before, so Hawkeye took the opportunity to arrange Warblade Lambert to the rear, if there was really an enemy attacking from behind, Warblade Lambert would definitely be the first to suffer.

At that time, as long as they delay the rescue time a little and let Lambert fight alone, then even if he is not directly killed by the enemy, he will definitely be able to bring him considerable trouble and losses, as long as he and his direct troops become weaker, it will naturally be much easier to deal with.

Even if things develop in the most ideal direction, Lambert of the War Blade may use some forbidden means in order to survive, such as the unique power of some demons or something, then the Face Emperor will have an excuse to clean him up and the Northern Eagle!

And now things are just as they expected, Lambert was really besieged by the nezumi forces in the first place, so Levi didn't want to delay more time, because he felt that the nezumen's attack was not strong enough, and he wanted to help them!

Half-elf Reiner nodded excitedly, "Of course I'd like to go along, Lord Levi!" ”

Needless to say too much among smart people, he immediately realized that the "rescue" that Levi said could never be as literally expressed!

Levi's reaction was quicker, and the Emperor's side was not slow either, although they weren't on guard against the Skaven rats at first, but they could be used here as well, and maybe it would be more effective.

The Generalissimo soon commanded numerous cavalry units and launched a counterattack against the new Skaven, and under the iron hooves of the cavalry, the fragile nezumi were cut to the ground like wheat, but soon as time passed, as the nezumi forces gathered more and more, high-level nezumi troops began to gradually appear.

It starts out as a handful of pure cannon fodder such as Slave Rats and Clan Rats, followed by the slightly more advanced Night Runners, Gutter Runners, and the backbone of the Skaven Infantry Unit, the Tempest Rats armed with swords, shields, or halberds.

When thousands of storm rats with purple-black fur and wearing standard armor appeared on the battlefield in a fairly neat formation, even the emperor felt something extraordinary.

Because before that, the Skaven rat people gave the impression of other races as a weak and weak race, and could only steal food in the sewers of various cities and villages all day long, stronger than goblins or something, but also very limited, so almost all humans have an extremely contemptuous attitude towards the rat people.

Storm rats are usually the backbone of the rat tribe, a small tribe of thousands of rat people, storm rats are often only twenty or thirty or even less, rat people are a hungry race that is forever short of food, and the food of raising a storm rat is enough to raise more than ten times the ordinary clan rat.

But now, the storm rats they saw alone were already in the thousands, and there was a tendency to continue to increase, so didn't that mean that there were at least dozens of small rat tribes behind them? Or worse, the nezumi have a super-large tribe underground in the Nord Territory?

However, despite their surprise, the Skaven armies continued to appear, and not only the ordinary troops that had appeared in front of the humans before, but also more high-ranking troops.

For example, the Plague Censer, a Tier 4 elite unit carrying an incense burner, that Levi once saw, a dimensional flamethrower team that can deal powerful damage to a large infantry, and an extra-long spear that several nezumi need to carry together, and a new weapon that Levi had seen with the dwarves but now appears in the nezumi troops, the double-barreled revolver!

Now everyone knows that even the Skaven rats have moved for real this time!
