After that, Duanmu Huai came to the main camp outside the city of Mordheim——— judging from the atmosphere of this camp, there used to be many people here, but now it is bleak and desolate, although it is not without soldiers, but it can be seen that the morale here is obviously not very high.

As a warband, Duanmu Huai was given a camp as a supply site, but of course, this thing was not strictly useful to them. Because Duanmu Huai can always open the door and go back to the Holy City, and then enjoy delicious food and soft beds there, instead of starving and freezing here.

However, before everyone could rest in the camp, the herald called Duanmu Huai to the camp to start the next attack plan.

"Well, I know you have a lot to complain about, and so do I."

Pastor. General Roland was blowing his beard, and his thin face looked dull and unusual, I don't know if it was because of the weather or his mood.

"But an order has been given from above, and His Majesty the Emperor is very, very, very dissatisfied with our progress. So he sent me another army, and next, we will learn from the mistakes of the last operation and rearrange the plan!! ”

In the midst of the noisy complaints of others, Duanmu Huai finally figured out the cause and effect of the incident.

It turned out that the first attempt to retake Moldheim was a complete failure, partly because they were really unprepared, and partly because of the problem of the generals. At that time, it was a noble faction that was in charge of leading the army, and the arrogance in his bones obviously did not make this guy take the recovery of such a dilapidated city into account. So the orders given by this simple-minded person are also very simple.

Directly march in and completely occupy the entire city.

And then it's over.

By spreading the army too far in one go, they were soon attacked. As mentioned before, the city of Mordheim is filled with nezumi, heretics of all kinds, and alien races, including vampires and necromancers. And these guys took advantage of the fact that the army had not yet had time to gain a foothold, and directly launched a surprise attack to completely divide the entire army.

In this case, the imperial army couldn't do anything at all, not to mention that the great prince sent here was only a reserve army, where had he seen such a terrifying and evil battle, so the imperial army that was fighting separately collapsed directly, most of them were wiped out on the spot, and only a few people escaped with the mercenaries.

Fortunately, the nobleman who had a short-circuited brain also died in it, and as for who did it——— well, let's assume that he was unfortunately killed in battle.

It's good for everyone.

What is here now, in addition to mercenary warbands like Duanmu Huai, are members of some organizations within the empire. Examples include the Battle Priest and Templar from the Church of Sigmar, the Witch Hunter, and the Wolf Spirit Priest from the Church of Ulric. The rest were the men of the Imperial Army, and the General Pastor babbled a lot of things, to the effect that we should learn the lessons of the last pig spurt, and this time we must fight steadily. Therefore, you warbands must charge forward and fight the enemy as much as possible, and they will divide each area into patches of battlefields to be dealt with by different warbands. Then wait until the war group has stabilized the front line, and the army will move forward, starting from the rear for "steady" encroachment and construction.

After all, in urban street battles like Mordheim, the numerical advantage of the army is basically not brought into play, and it is better to rely on a few elites to achieve the goal.

There is no objection to this, after all, they are mercenaries who come here for money, and they still know what to do.

But then something went wrong.

When General Pastor said that he had contacted the Sisters in the city and would get their help, the representatives of the Sigma Church jumped up and spoke out against it.

The reason for the Sigma Church is very speechless——— the Sisters are the same church organization in Mordheim that also believes in Sigma, perhaps because of the blessing of Sigma God, the Sisters will suffer the least from the two-tailed comet disaster. However, this led the Sigma Church to consider the Sisters heretics and demand that they be exterminated.........

Well, to put it bluntly, because the other party has not suffered a crime, he thinks that the other party is a heretic......... Duanmu Huai also didn't understand how the stupid logic of the Sigma Church came about.

Fortunately, General Pastor was very persistent in this regard, and they now had no spare troops to use to retake Mordheim, so they needed a lot of reinforcements. As a believer in Sigmar, the Sisters are also natives, familiar with Mordheim, and politically loyal, and as for the internal affairs of your church, they are your internal affairs, and the fact is that we are not in a position to pick and choose, so cooperation with the Sisters is a must.

Eventually, the representatives of the Sigma Church were furious and walked away, and the rest of the people present did not speak, but looked at their expressions......... Obviously, I am also helpless about this.

However, the battle meeting still had to continue, and in the following meeting, General Paster also gave the war group their own tasks.

On the map, Mordheim is an oval-shaped, walled city divided into east and west by a river——— well, it's almost like an ass.

Among them, the northeast is the market area, and the southeast is the slum. The upper northwest is the aristocratic district, and the southwest is the military district.

The east and west areas are connected by bridges, and as a whole, it is a closed city.

The place where the twin-tailed comet fell is the ghetto, which is also the most dangerous place in the entire Mordheim region, which is full of all kinds of twisted creatures and is simply impossible to approach. But that doesn't mean it's safe anywhere else.........

"Your task is simple."

Pointing to the map in front of him, Paster shouted.

"Enter through the gap in the wall to the east, reclaim the Sigmar Temple, the Town Hall, and then the Market Square! Open a path for the follow-up troops! Remember, get rid of all threats, including monsters, cultists, vampires, and other messes that lurk in the ruins! On the Sisters' side, they will send a team of Battle Nuns to join you in action to remove the evil curse of the Sigma Temple! Then, the next warband to read the name will participate in this battle! ”

As he spoke, Pastor picked up the list.

"Imperial Eagle, Blackclaw, and ........."

At this, Paster looked at the list, and suddenly paused, and he stared carefully at the parchment in his hand, as if there were flowers on it.

“……… Pink Bunny?? Who is Pink Bunny? ”

"It's me."

Duanmu Huai stood up, and when he saw Duanmu Huai, Paster opened his mouth, looked at the list, and then looked at the burly and huge armored warrior in front of him............

"That's you! Well done!! ”

In the end, Paster still didn't say anything, and perhaps he didn't know what to say.

After the meeting was adjourned, the three battle groups that had been named were also immediately assembled.

The Imperial Eagle is a warband of Imperial mercenaries, most of whom are warriors. Blackpaw, on the other hand, is a team led by witch hunters, including clergy from the Church of Ulric and the Church of Sigmar, in addition to the witch hunters.

But in any case, these people look like battle-hardened veterans, and with their momentum and outfit, they look like capable warbands.

On the contrary, it was the four beautiful girls in light clothes behind Duanmu Huai——— well, to be honest, they didn't look like they were here to fight at all.

"Hey, brother, it's up to us to get closer to each other."

The captain of the Imperial Eagle was a very cheerful and outgoing mercenary, and greeted Duanmu Huai with a smile, and Duanmu Huai also waved his hand in response. As for the witch hunter next to him, he didn't say a word, just stood there silently, like a shadow.

"So, let's get moving."

Everyone was professional, there was no need for pleasantries, and there was no sneering at each other before the action began——— everyone knew that it was a dangerous task, and it was either to complete or to die. So at such times there is no point in talking nonsense. Armed with their weapons on their backs, they silently passed through the cracks in the walls and entered Mordheim.

This cursed city.

Just stepping into it, a gray sense of depression rushed towards him, and Duanmu Huai raised his head and looked in front of him. Everything here is in tatters at the moment. The whole city was shattered, almost all the houses were dilapidated, and not even a complete house could be seen.

Not only that, but on the floor and walls, you can see something like a piece of rotten flesh covering it, and even eyes moving from side to side in the middle of those pieces of meat.

"Some of you may be here for the first time, so I'll warn you first."

The captain of the Imperial Eagle turned his head, looked at the others, and whispered with a serious expression.

"Don't underestimate this city, anything here could kill you........."

As he spoke, he pointed to what looked like rotting pieces of flesh on the ground.

"Don't step on them, don't get too close to them, they will spew disgusting and ugly poisonous mist at you, turning you into a mentally abnormal idiot. And those planks........."

As he spoke, he raised his sword again and pointed at the tattered wooden plank that lay next to a carriage at the front of the road, which on the surface seemed to be just a tattered plank leaning there......... If there is no strange text on it, then it doesn't seem to be very remarkable.

"It's a nezumi trap, and if you accidentally trigger it, you can only pray that you're lucky enough - nezumi aren't good things, after all."

“……… Excuse me, what exactly are these? ”

Looking at the beings that covered the walls and hung from the eaves as if they were some kind of ugly creature, Lorena asked in a low voice, and the Imperial Captain shook his head.

"I don't know, all in all, they seem to be the corpses of the inhabitants of this city, and they have been transformed into this ghost under the influence of the forces of Chaos, but what they are now......... I'm afraid they don't even know about themselves. ”

“………………………”

This time, no one spoke, but looked at everyone, and the Imperial Captain smiled slightly and spread his hands.

"Alright, everyone, welcome............ Come to hell. ”
