Chapter 13: The Battle for Return
With Duanmu Huai's assistance, Cardo also immediately made a plan resolutely.
The first thing they had to do was to retake the town hall, because according to Cardo's intelligence agents, while most of the army had been routed, there were still many civilians and soldiers imprisoned in the town hall, where they were used by the rat people and cultists for their desecrated rituals. Therefore, the first thing Cardo has to do is to rescue those people first, on the one hand, to replenish the supply of troops, and on the other hand, to destroy the evil plan of the rat people.
After Cardo explained his plan, Duanmu Huai also received a mission prompt from "Rescue", asking that the more people he rescued, the better......... Well, this requirement is not difficult to say, but simple to say.
Because of the heavy casualties in the previous nezumi attack, Cardo was only able to reluctantly draw a small team of men, and Duanmu Huai didn't mind this, anyway, he had his own plan.
When night fell, Duanmu Huai also led the group of soldiers to the street near the town hall, where he saw a masked long-eared elf wrapped in a cloak and holding a longbow.
Well, it's exactly like the one in a fantasy game.
"You're the big one? It's really big enough. ”
Looking at Duanmu Huai, the elf was also taken aback, but soon, she withdrew her gaze and began to explain to Duanmu Huai.
"I've figured out the situation of those nezumi, they have been cowering in the town hall since you defeated them, and those cultists are also inside. As for the captives, they were locked up in the basement by the nezumi, and my plan was to infiltrate the ............... through the underground sewer next to it."
"I'll leave it to you over there."
Duanmu Huai waved his hand directly, interrupting the elf's speech.
"What plan do you have, you can implement it yourself."
"What do you mean by that?"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, the elf's tone suddenly became cold.
"Listen, I know you're good, but ..............."
"Look, then, Miss Elf."
Duanmu Huai turned and looked at the elf.
"Do you think I can sneak?"
"Uh....................."
Looking at the huge body of the locust in front of him and the black armor that looked very heavy, the elven scout was speechless for a while.
Indeed, this size is really invisible only to the blind when you sneak around.
"I'll be in charge of striking from the front, attracting the attention of the nezumi and cultists, and then you infiltrate with your soldiers from the route you've planned, find the captives, and rescue them."
Duanmu Huai gave a straightforward answer, and then looked at the elven scout.
"No problem."
"I'd love to say there's ..............."
The elf scout hesitated for a moment, nodded helplessly, and then she looked at Okis beside Duanmu Huai and frowned.
"What about her?"
"She follows me."
After knowing that this group of evil god believers were making ghosts in the city hall, Duanmu Huai immediately brought the Oakie ribbon with him, lest the other party summon any more chaos demons.........
"Okay."
The elven scout didn't say much, although Ogis looked like a big lady traveling around with a suitcase, but in this ruin......... Well, that's weird, too.
"Then, I'll go first, you can act when you see the opportunity, and if you encounter trouble that can't be solved, find a way to send a signal to notify me."
After saying this, Duanmu Huai stood up again and looked ahead, and then, his helmet emitted a dazzling bright red light, and then, the shining light shot out from the flashlight next to Duanmu Huai's head, illuminating the dim and dark street in front of him. Then Duanmu Huai grabbed the war hammer and strode towards the city hall not far away. Ogis, on the other hand, followed him silently, like a silent ghost.
"Weird."
Looking at Duanmu Huai's distant figure, the elf scout snorted lightly, to be honest, if he hadn't felt the chaotic aura on his body, the elf scout really thought that this black armored knight was summoned from some hellish abyss.
Thinking of this, the elven scout withdrew his gaze and looked at the soldiers behind him.
"Follow me."
Duanmu Huai didn't know what the elf scout had planned, as a Space Marine, he had only one plan, and that was to kick the door, rush in, and then kill it.
What else can I do?
With the armor he was wearing, he couldn't go up the wooden bridge, and he collapsed with one foot.
Besides, the inquisitors don't talk about those who are vain, and loyalty is over.
"Boom!!"
Duanmu Huai clenched the war hammer and rushed up the steps of the city hall, and then the whole person closed his eyes like a battering ram, and the heavy wooden door was directly smashed into pieces.
"Quack, ah!!hhh
The next moment, with a scream, several ratmen rushed over, and the spears in their hands stabbed straight into Duanmu Huai's body.
However, this medieval attack has no effect on the power armor of the Cosmic Age. Duanmu Huai didn't even block it, and saw those spears hit his armor, and then directly disconnected.
At the same time, Duanmu Huai also held the war hammer high and swung it hard.
"Boom !!"
The warhammer roared down and smashed into the ground, instantly scattering with thunder, enveloping all the nearby nezumi in it. Most of the nezumi screamed and turned to ashes in the light of the thunder, except for a few that suddenly began to swell and then burst like grenades, turning into bright red flames and spraying heat in all directions.
At the same time, several dark green bottles were thrown from behind in the direction where Duanmu Huai was, and then smashed on the ground, turning into a green poisonous mist, enveloping Duanmu Huai's whole person in it.
This is the gas bomb that the nezumi are best at.
The rat people are a race that has survived until now and has not been completely wiped out, one is by virtue of their strong reproductive ability like rats, the other is by their smart brains that can back-deduce the development of science and technology, and finally the poison ——— well, although rat poisoning is not a new thing.
For the rat-man's poison gas bomb, Duanmu Huai is completely unafraid, and the power armor has its own internal circulation system, and ordinary poison gas is useless at all. So he didn't care, and rushed out of the poisonous fog directly, pounced on the grenadiers in the rear, and smashed them into meat sauce in three or two clicks.
Duanmu Huai's intrusion naturally attracted the attention of other enemies, and soon, hundreds of nezumi men held their weapons high and rushed towards Duanmu Huai from all directions like a tide.
For these rat people, Duanmu Locust doesn't need any skills at all.
Who wouldn't smash a gopher!
I saw Duanmu Huai raise the war hammer high and swing it hard. Raise again, swing down again. Each time he swung his hammer, a flash of lightning flashed, and the rat crowd exploded in all directions as if a grenade had been thrown.
Thunder Warhammer (Melee, Two Hand, Heavy Attack)
[+15% chance for enemies to explode when killed, dealing area damage equal to 50% of their health (stackable)]
Although the probability is not high, the number of nezumi who can't stand it is too much, and the Thunder Warhammer originally had a psionic attack that burst lightning, and with the special effect of this move, it is quite exciting to smash the gopher at the end of the wood. As soon as the hammer fell, the flesh swept across all directions, and in just a few breaths, the hundreds of rat people surging in all directions were swept away by Duanmu Huai.
But these nezumi aren't the only enemies.
"Hey, hey, hey, ............!!"
Just as Duanmu Huai was smashing the gopher, suddenly, a fat wizard wrapped in a cloak quietly appeared behind him out of thin air, he held a staff in one hand, and chanted a blasphemous incantation at the same time, and then stretched out his hand and grabbed at Duanmu Huai Void!
With the wizard's movements, I saw Duanmu Huai's huge body tremble suddenly, and the whole person was suddenly unable to move, and then flew in the direction of the wizard.
However, just as Duanmu Huai was about to reach the wizard's side, he roared angrily, and the next moment, an aura of aura suddenly burst out from Duanmu Huai's body.
Psionic Impact!
The wizard obviously didn't expect that the warrior in front of him was still a psionic person, and he suffered a big loss suddenly, and was directly knocked out by Duanmu Huai's psionic impact. The invisible energy that originally bound Duanmu Huai also collapsed in an instant, and Duanmu Huai jumped up, and the war hammer in his hand smashed down hard, smashing the black fat man in front of him into meat sauce.
"Damn Wizard ........."
Duanmu Huai took a sip, the magic resistance of the Space Marines is really not high, which is why he chose to add resistance. Relying on power armor, Duanmu Huai can fight against the nezumi and even the subordinates of the tyrannical god, but power armor is basically meaningless in the face of magic and psionic energy.
This is also the reason why Duanmu Huai asked Ogis to be on standby, in case he encounters a mage or psyker who he can't handle at the moment, that's when Ogis appears.
Fortunately, it doesn't seem like a problem now.
After taking out the black fat wizard, the entire town hall was in shambles, littered with the corpses of nezumi and cultists. Duanmu Huai didn't care, just strode forward, and then he found the basement according to the report of the elven scout before.
Then, Duanmu Huai punched out and smashed through the basement door.
When he peered in, he saw the elven scouts waiting for him with their bows on their bows, staring at him.
"Yo, you're coming pretty fast."
