Eliminating the Skaven corrosion was time-consuming and laborious, and Hemmer spent more than a month in the Lost Gate digging the city tunnels to eliminate the rat infestation, during which time he successfully forced out the rat people on the surface of the ground, and made some progress. But in fact, there are still quite a few rats in the Eclipse Clan who have escaped to the depths of the underground with the help of intertwined underground passages, which are intricate and interconnected, and it is impossible to eliminate them in a short period of time.

Fortunately, with the remnants of the Eclipse Clan's strength unable to pose a threat to the Fallen Gate on the surface, Hemmer finally had time to think about his next steps, and after two months of dormant recuperation, he once again set his mind on the southern expedition.

It was only after the last lesson that Hemmer focused on the strength of all the faction leaders in the New World, and at this moment he suddenly realized a reality.

Compared to the Old World, the New World Continent is a complete monster room.

On the ice field in the extreme north, there is the domain of the four hawkers, the chaos camp of the protagonist of the future annihilation, and the strength is completely unpredictable.

Nagaros, next to the ice field, is the dark realm of Duruszi, where a series of legendary lords such as the Witch King Malekis, the Gorond High Sorceress Moras, the Enchantress Helburn, Malus Blackblade, and Lacas gather.

On the island of Osune across the sea to the east, the Prince of the War Council, Tyrion, the Demon Swordsman Council, Tygris, the Eternal Queen Elarili, the Shadow King Aris, the Dragon Prince Imric, and the Warden Aisarion, all of them are legendary heroes on the Megatron side.

In the Lustrian rainforest to the south, the second generation of Sranmazda Moody showed off his muscles once, and the terrifying scene of thousands of slave rats evaporating in an instant is still vivid.

The west side is the edge of the world, and there is no point in thinking about it.

All in all, Hemer was shocked to find that he was surrounded by monsters, and his current territory was sandwiched between Nagaris and Lustria, and there was no room for development at all.

Fighting north, they are all nominally their own people.

Do you want to rebel? Are the people under your command trustworthy? Even if they are loyal to themselves, will they be able to defeat Moras?

After three consecutive questions, Hemmer couldn't answer any of them.

Fight to the east, and the vast ocean will not be able to cross.

Not to mention that there are only a hundred Ark pirates in his army who are good at naval warfare, and the most important thing is that they don't even have ships, and they want to win against the strongest High Elf Navy in the Warhammer world, unless their giant dragon ships are all swept into the sea by the storm.

Hit south? Yes, only to the south. Mazda Moody can't beat it, so jump away and keep hitting him down.

The next day, at the military conference, Hemmer hung the map on the wall, and marked the key points in the northern Pahuaraksha rainforest near Lustria, and explained his plan to attack the northern rainforest by detouring through the Rutchian Isthmus.

After speaking, he propped his hands on the conference table and looked around at everyone: "After I finish speaking, who agrees and who opposes?" ”

After listening to Hemer's plan, the officers present were invariably silent.

Avoiding Hesiota and entering the heart of the rainforest is too bold and full of drawbacks, and it's a tightrope walk.

However, seeing that the lord seems to have made up his mind, it is difficult to dissuade him. Everyone looked embarrassed, waiting for one person to come out and take the lead.

At this time, Eliden, who was lying on the table and turning the pen, raised his hand lazily, "I am against it." ”

"With Mazdamoodi's character, he won't let us into his back garden."

With someone taking the lead, Khir, who was closest to Hemmer among the generals, stood up and said, "My lord, wouldn't this be too risky?" ”

"Once we make a detour to Hesiota, we have no stable rear, and the replenishment of the army and the delivery of supplies become a big problem. Moreover, if Hesiota or any possible enemy were to outflank him, the consequences would be unimaginable, and if he was not careful, he would be doomed. With all due respect, my lord, you're gambling. ”

Everyone nodded in unison.

Hemer listened to Khir's words in silence and pursed his lips.

He didn't have these concerns, but there was no way to do it now.

Could it be that he directly rebelled and Morath robbed the ancient city of Quintex?

Or do you force yourself across the vast ocean to the east and die in the belly of a fish?

If the situation he was facing was a little better, Hemmer would have come up with a more workable plan to break the situation.

Seeing that everyone was opposed, Hemer's eyes were slightly sluggish, and his eyelashes drooped, and he sighed: "I know this is a gamble, but war is a gamble..."

Hemer's low words made everyone who was still talking suddenly stop and looked at the lord of the throne.

They had never seen a lord so depressed.

Suddenly, Hemmer turned around, picked up the red pen, and swiped on the map from the Lost Gate down to the Maku Peaks, and then turned right, pointing directly at the Southern Kingdom colonies in the northern rainforest, in the shape of a line.

"As long as we send a surprise army, avoid Hesiota and detour through the Maku Peaks, and raid the unprepared human colony, we will have a stable base to take it."

Hemmer clenched his fists at the crowd and said with a resolute look in his eyes: "Once we have captured the Marauder's Harbor and captured the human ships, the initiative will be in our hands, whether it is from the land to the southern rainforest, or by sea to attack the Vampire Coast by sea." ”

"Well, just if the humans didn't know that we had suddenly appeared in front of them and easily captured the Marauder's Harbor. But Lord Hemer, we are such a small number of people, can we really hold on? The Humans are allies of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, and we have attacked their territory, can the Imperial Expeditionary Force give up? Eliden asked rhetorically, "And the ratmen of the Blight Clan, the lizardmen of the Life Pools and the Sotigo Mountains, and the orcs of the Savage Tribe." ”

"Without the support of the Empress, we will not be able to gain a foothold in the southern rainforests of the Troubled Lands with our current military strength."

"Those Slans blow casually" Speaking of this, the sorceress paused, put her right index finger against her dark lips, and blew softly, "Bang, your army will be fluttering with the wind." ”

"Do you still want to go south and fight your way?"

Although Eliden's words were mostly a joke, it was not impossible for the joke to come true.

Hemmer was dumbfounded by the question.

There was silence in the room, and the beep of the fireplace was instantly clear.

"Then what can I do...."

"Do you have a better way?"

No one responded.

The lost Hemmer raised his eyes to the map, and every province, every mountain range, and every river in the New World had its own annotations, and the dense outlines on it were suddenly very glaring.

No matter how much planning there is, it is childish and ridiculous in the face of cruel reality.

The entire world is huge, large enough to accommodate tens of millions of creatures, but it is also very small, so small that Hemmer can't take a single step.

With such a large world territory, he was born in this new world where a group of demons danced, surrounded by strong enemies on three sides, and there was no hinterland at the foot of the Titan Peaks.

If you had changed your position, you would have been free to fight in the vast land of the old world.

What can I do....

Hemmer asked himself, surrounded by strong enemies, unless he uses the power of the devil to completely join Slaanesh, who else will he fight with this little soldier in his hand, this little manpower and material resources? Who can you hit? Whoever you hit is looking for death.

The entire conference room was silent.

Hemmer slammed his fist against the wall, resting his head on the map he had looked at countless times, clenching his armor bangs to cover his confused pupils, casting a thick haze.

Everyone was startled by his sudden move, and looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Just as a group of people were sitting in their positions sluggishly, as if they were sitting on pins and needles, they heard the hoarse voice of the lord, "Everyone go out, let me stay alone for a while." ”

One after another, people left, but Eliden, Khill, and Anzales remained.

Eliden looked as usual, still leaning on his desk and spinning his pen, while Kirhill and Anzales looked worriedly at Hemer's back.

Since the incident in the Temple of Kane, they have some vague speculations in their hearts, if they let the emotionally uncontrollable lord alone, they are afraid that something will happen.

"Say it, don't make me repeat it." Despair surged, and Hemmer couldn't find a source of vent, and his voice sounded in the ears of the three of them like a cold ice fountain.

With a halt, Eliden stood up and stretched, and suddenly looked at the man on the throne, "If you really don't have a choice, Helmer, you can count on using as much violence as possible to deal with adversity." With that, she left the conference room on her own.

The remaining two men, Kehill and Anzales, sighed slightly and left one after another.

Neverr was the only one left in Noda's room.

Deeply powerless to influence the weight of the boulder that had become substance, he slowly crouched down, curled up against the wall, buried his head in his knees, and muttered to himself, "What can I do..."

"Desire power, seek glory, and the true power is always at your fingertips, Hemmer." The sunlight shone through the lattice, and the shadows in the unlit corners turned into the appearance of a two-faced king, and she gently took Hemer into her arms, and murmured more and more gently, "As long as you want, no one can stop you." My dear, my servants and I are ready. Let Chaos corrupt your enemies and drag them into the abyss from which they will never recover..."

The demagogic words continued to echo in Hemer's ears, his turquoise right pupil slowly turning a mysterious purple, and his cheeks faintly showed Ez's face.
