Chapter 256: The car drove north
Kane named the Demonic Rat Men Red Banner.
Later, however, people preferred to call it the Blood Banner.
Red is the only color of this team except black and white, Xi Man, Night Man, Day Man are all wearing red cloaks, Xi Man is the shortest, almost like a shawl, Night Man to the hips, Day Man is a big cloak, to the legs, and the faint Man is a red scarf, which is very elegant when running and has a phantom effect.
There are flags, red flags, black circles, white characters, and a big Chinese font on the iron frame car: Rice!
This word is full of profound meanings! The army has no food, and its morale collapses immediately. The cars pulled up are indeed all rice.
The cell activity of the ferocious rat people is extremely high, and if they are still ingested with ordinary nutrients, they will be starved to death, so the rats do not eat and directly recharge.
They're actually magic versions of electric robots, with a lack of energy and a minute paralysis for you to see.
Even the Devil's Vine Mount is a high-energy consuming unit.
And they consume extraordinary energy, that is, it can be so luxurious in the high magic world, and it is too cost-effective to change it to a dark HP world where spellcasters have to be careful about their calculations.
The sound of the cars and the red flag, even when marching, still remain neat and solemn, looking down from the sky, like a python with red, white and black scales, swimming on the desolate land.
Lebowitz's carriage was caught in the procession, and Leonie's younger brother, who was at the age of great curiosity, probed his brain and looked at the savage rat-man on the left, and his mother could not stop him several times, until Leonie glanced sideways, and became much more honest.
Leonie's siblings and mother came to the estate to escape the epidemic at the request of Leonie's father, Werner.
The way people lived in the city and the sanitary conditions contributed to the spread of the Black Death, and the situation in Worcesterburg was dire.
And now that the alien race is taking advantage of the fire to rob, it is really worse.
In fact, as early as the day before yesterday, communication with Worcester Castle had been interrupted.
Until that moment, Leonie didn't expect that there would be an army of about 3,000 nezumi to attack Cloppen, and now that she thought about it, she was really young and inexperienced.
This time she returned to Worcesterburg, she did not take a car, but rode a horse, and deliberately wore a gorgeous ancestral battle skirt and armor.
The Lebowitz family had a powerful female knight five generations ago, and Leonie had the ambition to lead the army into battle and defend the peace of the territory from an early age, just like that ancestor. However, her father was only willing to let her protect the women and children in the family at most.
Not long ago, she complained about this, but Kropen's offensive and defensive battles taught her a lesson. made her realize that the cruelty of war is not only in the bloody cruelty, but also in the fact that there are few evenly matched situations, and bullying, fighting more and fighting less, and taking advantage of illness to kill are the norm. And when an individual is caught up in this general trend, he will have a deep sense of powerlessness, and he will fluctuate with the waves, and he will not be able to help himself.
Kane didn't feel that way, and he sat in a wide saddle chair with armrests, backrests, and soft cotton and fur cushions, his body swaying rhythmically with the steps of his ride.
In Hermione's words, "You don't look like a knight at all, but like a Persian magnate traveling on a chariot." β
Indeed, Kane not only has a distinctive saddle, but also a mount, a thunder lizard, which combines the body characteristics of a rhinoceros, a stegosaurus, and a hippopotamus.
Hermione was a big crane, but she said that she was weaving a phoenix, and Kane said to himself, "What kind of eyes do you have, the phoenix is not this body proportion." β
However, he wisely did not tell the truth, but said: "If there is a gorgeous feather coat, then it is a real phoenix." β
Maria likes leopards, but she actually can't tell the difference between lions and leopards, so she is actually weaving a lioness.
CΓ©line loves wolves, and her most beautiful mount is the giant wolf she has braided, with countless tiny vines that release the color of flames, like fur, eye-catching and windy.
Kane laughed and said that Celine probably liked gifts like the Big Bear, and Hermione said that I liked it too.
Well, Kane realized that this wife had a little bit of a vinegar jar.
Kloppen Manor is also 20 kilometres from Worcesterburg, and with the speed of a 'red flag', there is no problem in getting there in 40 minutes.
Halfway through, a succession of scout letters had already informed Kane and his party of the latest situation report over there.
When he was almost at the end of the field, Kane urged his mount to leave the group, climbed the top of a nearby dirt hill, and looked out at Worcester Castle in the morning sun, and saw a large number of scavengers hovering over Worcesterburg.
And under this ominous proclamation, there was a lifeless fortress, and no one could even be seen walking on the walls.
And the perspective of the Sky Eye brought by the Flying Eagle is a different story:
About two kilometres east of the fortress lies a four-hectare forest. In this world, in this era, there are many woods like this that are annoying, and no one treats them as forests, but as part of the plains, just like the treatment of the earth mountain where Kane is now dozens of meters high.
With the bare broadleaf forest on the branches at its core, the beastmen were busy.
The drums of the hides were beating a little messily, and the beasts did not become orderly because of the drums, some of them were working, some were gathering, some were eating, and they looked more like refugee camps than military camps.
Hermione, Thelene, and Maria were also next to Kane, and Serene Hermione commented, "A rabble. β
Kane smiled, "Maria, you command 500 night barbarians, kite them." CΓ©line, you take 300 Xi Barbarians, 100 Night Barbarians, take a detour to the eastern woods, and the Beastmen break up in the woods, so kill them as much as you can. β
The two took the order and left, and a small battle began.
Maria commanded 500 night barbarians, divided into 5 columns of 100 people, like five long snakes, and first marched steadily towards the side of the grove in unison.
And Selene led the troops into position, and they were much faster, because not being detected by the beastmen was the point, and they had to go around in a big circle.
The remaining 100 Xi Man, 200 Night Man, and 200 Day Man set off with the cart and headed for Worcesterburg.
Before the war, the main thing was that the personnel were in place, and there was nothing to see, Hermione took control of the mount, followed Kane's side, and talked about the beastmen.
"The people here seem to have a bad sense of the beastmen, the main body of the beastmen is the former humans, and there is no one who still maintains a conscience after mutating?"
Kane pondered for a moment before he said, "This is a very complicated question. β
"Let's start with the context of this world. The forces of chaos are constantly accumulating, which means that the probability of mutation is increasing. Now about 1 in 52 births are likely to mutate, and 1,000 years later it will be 25:1. β
"So tall?"
"Yes, and you must know that it is not just humans, but all intelligent beings except the lizardmen, elves, and dwarves, the first three creatures created by the ancient saints, and the alien creatures such as the greenskins. β
Hermione pondered, "I suspect that these mutated creatures have some sort of common elemental trait. β
"Well, I have such doubts too. Kane glanced at Maria and said, "So far, I've been facing a shortage of high-end supplies. For a research project like this, it is necessary to experiment with top-notch magical objects in order to make progress. β
"It seems that our strength level is far from enough, and if we want to study cutting-edge mysteries, we must have the ability to draw materials from the cosmic egg. Or find a few more worlds like the Medieval Warhammer. β
"It's not easy to have this one. Most of the magical things that erupted from the void rift were wasted by the minions of the four evil gods. β
This is actually a slot for Kane against the four evil gods. From a certain point of view, the four evil gods do not learn and do not know, they think that emotional energy is omnipotent, if that is the case, then there will be no limit to the birth of powerful demons, but in fact there is always a limited number of powerful people, which involves elements other than spiritual power, and magical matter or energy is its manifestation.
"Despite this, I have estimated that if the main force of the Chaos Demon is destroyed, the magical things recovered will basically be enough to arm the four of us. If you turn back, you can beat the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods of our world. β
"The topic comes back to the beastmen, and the problems of the beastmen are not only environmental problems, but also social problems. Kane explains: "People have the memory characteristics of scars, and the pain will always be remembered for a longer time. β
Hermione had a sharp mind. Answer: "You are saying that those beastmen who have a human nature will be harmed by malevolent humans and become evil. β
Kane nodded: "The special laws of the Warhammer universe have caused spiritual power to have almost supreme magical characteristics. Make it possible to make your wishes come true. Of course, there are many specific obstacles. The theoretical lifespan of humans in this world is about 180 years, but the actual average lifespan is 52 years. And if you want to make your wishes come true, it is much more difficult than reaching the theoretical value of physical lifespan. β
Still, extremes can create the other. Almost all powerful beastmen have full, even over-the-limit, emotions. And a large part of it is made of love and hate. In a way, the Beastmen are a mirror of the intelligent beings of the positive camp of this world. β
"What a tragedy. β
Kane nodded again: "I've encountered similar things in many worlds in my previous life. Cruel, vicious, tyrannical human beings, honest, peaceful, and kind monsters, the most embarrassing part is that you can't change anything, the world is like that, the society is like that, you can kill the vicious people you see, but you can't kill the vicious people in the world, you can save the kind monsters once, but you can't save them every time. Even if you hide in the mountains, someone will chase you and take advantage of the target's kindness to capture or kill them. And the reasons for the hunt are varied, some are for profit, some are to transfer hatred, and some simply believe that killing the alien race is justice in itself. β
"So you never flaunt yourself with righteousness. β
Kane smiled, "When my hands are stained with the blood of too many innocents, I tell myself that you can at least be honest and appear less vile." β
By this time, the Beastmen had discovered the Night Barbarian Force.
The beastmen have no rules for fighting, but they don't lack courage.
A wild roar rang out, and more and more beastmen responded with a roar.
Soon, the whole camp was in a clamour, and the roars of the beasts even drowned out the drumming.
They carried rudimentary weapons and lined up under the command of their leader. Naturally, it is far from neat, but at least there is a general formation.
Then they reached a preliminary step by unifying the roar, standardizing the roar, making the roar more majestic, and with the sound of the drums, there was a bit of the taste of the war cry, and the morale was further improved.
The Night Barbarians were the opposite of the beastmen, and they were silent, except for the sound of Bigfoot running and the sound of the wind blowing their cloaks and hunting.
The Beasts noticed that the Nightbarians were cavalry, two-legged, but as muscular as a miniature version of a Tyrannosaurus (with a head that didn't look like it), and that in their opinion, the fully armored Nightbarians were no longer standard hoplites.
Indeed, the armor on Yeman's body weighs more than 75 kilograms, and the 1.2CM homogeneous composite material is really a heavy armor for humans.
The foundation of the night brute is the big fierce barbarian rat, 190CM tall, muscular, not small, if it is not the composite material of armor, the weight is lighter than the same volume of steel, then the homogeneous thickness of 1.2CM covered on such a body, it is not 75 kg can be limited.
Based on such size, weight, and armor weight, it is suitable to ride a cold-blooded Shire horse with a shoulder height of nearly 2 meters and an average weight of more than 1.7 tons.
This shows what kind of size and physique the Bigfoot has the ability to easily carry the night brute and run quickly and flexibly.
It looks like a bigfoot, but it is actually a miniature version of the Tyrannosaurus rex's physique, and the movement is also loud when running, plus it is orderly, and the sound of footsteps is relatively neat, it is really a rolling thunderous sound.
This is not a heavy cavalry, what is it?
Kane sold a cute, day-barbarian is counted, based on the 2.8-meter-tall giant fierce barbarian ratman, the assault beast weighs nearly 2 tons, and the daytime barbarian even has armor and weapons, more than half a ton, a total of 2.4 tons.
It's a pity that Hermione and the others don't move the stalk of 'thousand pounds, thousands of gold', and Kane can only entertain himself, and he is a daughter during the day, and there is nothing wrong with using it as a foil for Hermione.
