Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Beast Tide Is Surging

"The reaction of the false god believers is faster than I thought, and the Kugan people are a little underestimated, which should not be. However, it doesn't matter much, it's better to be alert. Now give my orders and march the whole army, but do not rush into the enemy's circle of fire, and let the beastly coward launch the first wave of the offensive with three squadrons. Remember to tell it that this is an opportunity to make a meritorious contribution to its crimes. ”

Tigger Christian, the Chosen Knight of Slaanesh Chaos, glanced at the faint Imperial Soldier Station on the high ground in the distance, and explained his plan to the blue-haired ponytail girl standing beside him in a faint tone. The Kugan cavalry, who had just been sent out to scout and probe, had returned, a select team of twelve sharpshooters, and fired a salvo at the tower of the garrison at a distance of two hundred and sixty paces. Hiding in the darkness and in the grass, they were arrogant and did not immediately shift their positions, and as a result, they were hit by a shrapnel grenade, killing two and wounding three. This can be regarded as an unexpected loss, because the Kugan cavalry archers from the north are only **ten people in total, most of them are elite marksmen, and they can shoot armor-piercing arrows from a distance of two or three hundred paces with a hyperbolic bow, which is actually the main long-range force in this Chaos Beast army.

"My brave master, do you need to bless them with the divine power of Salis before you go?" ”

The blue-haired, double-ponytailed girl named Lesya tightened the reins and lowered her beautiful head to the green-haired knight in front of her, waiting for her master's decision.

"Of course, show the wind and charm of magic bestowed upon you by the Most Beautiful God, and let their blood boil before the battle. My naughty Lesya, I know you're going to do well. ”

The long-haired green-haired Chaos Knight smiled and pressed his hand on the beautiful girl's white shoulder, giving a gentle and clear indication that made a faint blush emerge from the girl's cheeks.

"My dear master, I will do it well. ”

The blue-haired girl flicked her ponytail like an excited cat, puffed up her plump breasts, and showed a happy expression. She smiled cutely, almost like she was on the battlefield.

"Your Excellency Lord Tiggal, I'm ready too. ”

Another beautiful and faint cold voice sounded from the side, it was the voice of Leilia, the cold beauty with long blue hair and revealing clothes did not ride a horse, but walked slowly with a six-foot staff with the head of a meniscus staff, and the golden crescent moon and cyan gems on the staff shone strangely in the darkness.

"My lovely Lelia, it's good that you've explained to the Beastmaster and the Minotaur what I've arranged. Your magic is far stronger with your sister, and when it comes to the critical moment, you should understand what you need to do, come up. ”

"I understand, Lord Tiggall. ”

The long-haired green-haired Chaos Knight stretched out his hand and pulled the beautiful blue-haired girl into his saddle, and the two rode forward. The girl named Leilia naturally smiled softly, and rested her head on the dark purple breastplate of her handsome master, which made Lesya, who was about to leave, immediately pursed her mouth, made a grimace at her sister with a single ponytail in front of her, and then shook the reins of the horse, and ran away without looking back.

With a long, hoarse sound of a trumpet, a black jungle gradually appeared on the distant horizon, which shook and spread under the night sky, and became closer and closer, like a slowly spreading stream of water, approaching the lone soldier station on the high ground. This is the queue of Chaos Beasts, these sheep-headed beast-footed, black-brown long-haired monsters walking upright form one after another scattered circular array, armed with short spears, wooden shields, battle axes, and carrying long ladders, walking towards the station at a slow but steady pace. There were a few black, triangular roof-like objects sandwiched in the queue and marching together, rudimentary battering rams, made a few days earlier under the direction of the Kugan cavalry.

Leather banners hung with skeletons, standing tall in the dense forest of spears and spears, fluttering in the cold night wind and in the dim moonlight. In the center of these banners unfurled five huge Chaos two-wheeled chariots, each of which was pulled by six buffalo-sized, blood-red Chaos Tusked Boars with leather ropes, and the twitching of the thorny whips of the beast riders, threatening the ferocious war pigs to keep them from moving. Sharpened bent wood with hanging skeletons lifted from the sides of the chariot like the rotting ribs of a monster, and tattered wooden shields painted with the eight-pointed star of chaos and the Crest of Slaanesh surrounded the railing of the chariot in a chaotic manner, like the shattered entrails of a monster.

A huge Slaanesh banner stood majestically on the chariot in the center, and the magically branded Slaanesh runes on it shone with purple brilliance, reflecting the human and beast skeletons hanging from the battle flag as if they were flashing and roaring, adding a terrifying and eerie aura to the array of the chaos army. The banner, once humiliated and disgraced during the day, has now become the glorious possession of the new Beastmaster, flying again among the vengeful armies of the Beasts of Chaos.

Sitting atop this chariot was the new Beastmaster Kent Gore, a stout man with three large curved horns, dressed in glittering purple Snein plate armor and armed with a large scimitar with a copper handle, and proudly inspected his troops surrounded by a large group of elite guards beneath the chariot. When the army had advanced four or five hundred paces from the trench, it waved its broadsword, signaled for its troops to stop, and roared wildly.

"Brave Gore------ offer loyalty to the god of chaos of beauty!" the beast's rough battle cry shook the sky. And the flag bearers of the banner of Slaanesh also hurriedly waved the military flag, and shouted at the same time, and as the banner danced, all the chaos beasts raised their spears and battle axes together, and at the same time answered, thousands of voices converged into the waves of the ocean under the night sky, rolling like thunder on the dry yellow grassland of the northland, and enduring.

----------------------------------

"Your Highness Hyde, the number of Chaos Beasts is a little more than I expected, they have about nineteen to twenty squadrons, and according to the standard of one hundred and forty or fifty people in the first squadron of Chaos Beasts, there are about three thousand enemies. They carried four light battering rams and about twenty ladders, though they didn't seem to have trebuchets, and of course, they weren't something that could be pulled or carried quickly. The bunch stopped a little outside of the effective range of our snake cannons, and it seemed that these beasts had received a lot of guidance from the Northland Chaos Legion. I didn't see their cavalry, and the other directions of the station needed attention. ”

On the eighteen-foot-high wooden tower of the Rick Imperial Expeditionary Force's 19th Station, the chubby supervisor put down his brass telescope and calmly explained to Hyde the strength of the enemy in front of him as if he were explaining something unrelated. He opened the flask he had brought with him, took a sip, and went on to elaborate on his opinion.

"At present, there are five hundred and ninety-four soldiers in our station, and at present two hundred and sixty are under our command to defend this western wall, seventy men are placed on standby on each of the north and south walls, each of which is in charge of a lightly wounded senior knight, and the defense of the east wall is led by the heroic Grand Knight of Loren, one hundred and ten men. The rest were in reserve, on standby in the central square of the camp, under the command of His Excellency Marshall, Cheetah Knight. We had three snake cannons, a curved cannon, one hundred and eighty muskets of all kinds, two hundred and ninety-five crossbows, and one hundred and thirty-six bows, and plenty of ammunition, in fact more weapons than the marksmen. So, I assigned a lightly wounded man to each musket and crossbow to help with reloading, and the shooter only had to take care of the shot. ”

"Lord Mount, you are a living notebook, all the data is clear enough in your mind, do you need me to take the knights into battle, and kill them with the prestige?"

Hyde smiled and looked at the horsemen who were ready to go downstairs, where there were fifty cavalrymen in full gear, which was the total number of professional riders in the current station.

"I admire your courage, but I don't approve of you attacking now. Because we have few riders, the enemy has a lot of troops, and in a state of high morale, we will suffer meaningless losses when we attack now. Our counter-punches should be punched at more appropriate times, and when the enemy is tired, one punch can have the effect of ten punches. ”

Director Mount waved his hand and categorically repudiated Hyde's opinion, his reasons were strong and reasonable, and he believed that Hyde had nothing to say.
