Section 134 Defeat
Lost in the 134th quarter
"Where is the star?" Ashrufat stabbed his sword deeper, twisting the blade to widen the wound and inflict more damage. This blow was also a breaking blow, because if the Bloodfang Lord still had the ability to fight back, Ashrufat would only be able to resist with his armor, cloak, and body.
"Hahahaha...... "Fortunately, the demon prince did receive a fatal blow, and he was no longer able to fight back, so he could only struggle more and more weakly. "It's in that city...... If you...... Yes...... See...... She...... words......"
The demon prince barely spat out the last word, and then disappeared in a burst of black energy.
On the earth, only the brass cursed armor of the demon prince remains. The armor had a large notch in the Withered Sword, and it was emitting green smoke. Being able to see that this armor is far from being as simple as it seems, beneath the brass skin, inside is an indescribably complex structure. Large chunks of strange components that Ashrufar couldn't read—the building blocks that a child used as a toy—peeked out of the gap, interspersed with a mass of thread made of unknown materials. It was from these lines that the green smoke came out.
The Demon Prince can't really be killed - it's a special power that he gets after ascending to the Demon. After a Chaos cultist is elevated to the rank of Demon Prince, his essence changes, and he is no longer mortal. So even killing him in this physical world is just a kind of exile - banishing him to another world.
But this exile is also costly. Because from then on, the connection between this demon prince and this world has completely ended, and he can no longer freely come to this material world and stay for a long time. From then on, he had to go through the magic of his mortal followers to neutralize the repulsion of this world in order to come to this world.
Ashrufat raised his head, and the remnants of the soldiers who had been defeated by the Bloodfang Lord before had seen this scene and saw how his general had won this duel.
By now, nearly half of Ashrufat's legions had suffered casualties, as had the Bloodfang Lord's men. The duel between two people is decisive, and winning the battle will be a great morale boost.
Shouts of victory began to sound, and in just a short time, the news of the defeat and banishment of the Bloodfang Lord in a duel had spread throughout the battlefield. This was a stimulant for the stalemate between the two armies, and Ashrufat's men were convinced of victory, and the low-ranking sadistic believers—mostly marauders, but also a handful of Chaos warriors—began to flee the battlefield. Even so, most of the apocaustic fighters remained, determined to fight to the death.
Their fanaticism succeeded in dragging on long enough. But as time dragged on, the frenzy of the winds of magic began to calm down. The disturbance of the magical winds caused by the Demon Breaking Scroll is the result of manpower after all, and sooner or later peace will be restored. On the right flank of Ashrufat, the wizards of Tzeentch found that their strength had been restored, and the behemoths they had prepared were released into battle.
Most of these monsters were captured by wizards and then modified, and many of them were so polluted by the power of chaos that other Chaos believers did not dare to approach. These monsters can no longer be classified as "beasts". In the books of the Church, they are the abomination of Chaos, creations that have fallen into the hands of the Chaos gods, corrupted by the gods for fun, possessed by the spirits of greedy demons. Legend has it that these monsters are tormented by their filthy bodies and driven to madness, and their souls are occupied by bloodthirsty ** caused by the evil power of chaos, and they are full of only killing.
Whether this is true or not, at least it is known that the only thing that can withstand them on the battlefield is artillery. Only the power of a cannon can stand up to such a massive beast full of muscles, fangs, and claws. Luckily, these monsters are fully committed to one thought: to rush at the enemy in front of them, tearing and smashing a bloody path through the battlefield. They are not intelligent and do not distinguish between friend and foe, so they cannot mix with other enemy soldiers when they appear on the battlefield. This also gave the gunner the opportunity to concentrate his fire.
The wizards did not hesitate to unleash these war beasts, allowing them to break through their own lines and then go deep into the enemy army to slaughter.
These Chaos Behemoths are followed by the renowned magical offensive of the Tzeentch wizards.
It's a one-sided show, as the has no magical powers to back it up. Tzeentch's Dimensional Flames erupted repeatedly on the battlefield like fireworks, and every time the horrific warriors gathered to launch a counterattack, the Dimensional Flames landed on their heads, turning them into pink torches.
As time went on, the Wizard Apprentices, who had previously retreated to the rear, also began to join the fray. So soon, the resistance of the sadistic believers became meaningless. Vicious magic is thrown at them one after another, and the enemies they face are constantly buffed with magic.
Although the Sadistic Warriors are ruthless killers, possessing beastly physical strength and terrifying combat skills. But even the elite soldiers who have been tempered for thousands of years can't see that little chance of victory in this situation. They had been fighting for a long time and were starting to get tired, unable to deal with the enemy forces that were ample with magical support, let alone creatures that had become incredibly filthy by magic. Those stubborn warriors who fought to the end were eventually drowned in their own blood. And the sadistic fighters who were not strong in their convictions began to flee.
However, those light cavalry, which had lacked the ability to attack on the battlefield, became a nightmare for those who escaped. Although the battlefield is not far from the Blood Fortress, the speed of two legs and four legs is completely incomparable. There was no real resistance on the entire battlefield, only pursuit and killing.
Ahead, the towering walls of the Blood Fortress remained. It's a pity that the city no longer has enough defenders. The triple wall makes no sense.
At dusk, the battle continued.
"Haven't you taken it yet?" asked Ashrufat. He stood not far from the city gates, his hands on his immaculate magic sword. But beneath his feet, the bones of his enemies were already piled up. The battle at the gates was still fierce, the gates were half opened, and the resistance of the sadistic believers was more insane than stubborn. They fought desperately to the end. Although the wizard with his feet on the magic disk continued to attack the enemy with magic, the attack on the city gate was never successful.
Although the entire defense line of the city wall had already become completely damaged due to the lack of troops, Ashrufat's men kept climbing the wall from unguarded places, making the defense of the city gate seem worthless. But it must be said that the sadistic believers seem to have made up their minds to hold on to this place and not to retreat.
"My lord, they're still tenacious...... one wizard reported. "Fight to the death. ”
Ashrufat looked at the sky, it was not early. He knew very well that this was not a castle, but a sadistic lair. If he can't take advantage of the victory to break through the Blood Fortress, God knows what else will happen.
"Let them intensify their offensive, especially on the side of the wall, and let Gander send more men to climb the wall and cooperate with the frontal attack. If it doesn't work......" Ashrufat thought for a moment. "Forget it, let's put the strongest monster on it. ”
"Yes, my lord!" the Tzeentch wizard bowed his head in order. "I immediately put the 'dead fang' on it. ”
It was only a short time before a monster came from behind and rushed straight to the city gate. Even the bravest Chaos Champions unconsciously chose to stay away when they saw this monster.
This is no ordinary monster, but the product of an evil magical experiment. It was the result of wizards' attempts to mix Chaos Eggs and Beasts to produce more powerful war creatures - it's hard to describe whether that experiment succeeded or failed. Because all the wizards involved in that experiment died, but this monster called "Dead Fang" was born again.
The monster, named "Dead Fang", has been tortured by the horror of mutation to the point where it can no longer recognize the prototype, and is no longer even bound by the laws of physics. The evil creature wasn't very large, its flesh was covered in bubbling necrotic wounds, and it had multiple mouths, each filled with sharp fangs, and it spat out muttering and snickering that resembled human madness. This sound gives it supernatural attacking abilities - without the protection of the corresponding magical equipment, humans can be driven crazy by this continuous crazy whispering after only a few minutes of approaching the dead fangs.
Of course, its melee abilities are just as terrifying. It has four tentacles like normal Chaos Eggs, but the tentacles end in giant claws. These claws are capable of tearing apart even the heaviest armor. And everyone who inflicted damage on the Dead Fang could not escape the green pus that splattered from the wounds—a liquid infused with Nurgle's divine powers, and any human who came into contact with it would be crushed by a filthy and deadly disease, even the mighty Chaos Champions.
This monster is so filthy and evil that even wizards dare not drive it easily. But let's be honest, it's really good for attacking the gates.
In front of this monster, the resistance at the gates of the city was crushed. Dead Fang squeezed into the city gates, its evil power causing slaughter-level casualties, no distinction between friend and foe.
Ashrufat stepped on the corpses and walked into the Blood Keep. Now the mighty legions have been destroyed by him, and the towering fortresses are already at his feet. A group of men brought him a captive - a horrified Chosen Warrior, scarred all over his body and with one arm cut off.
"Don't you think you'll be able to take the city of Sadism!" said the Chosen One. "May terror curse thee ......"
It's a pity that Chaos Believers are not good men and women. Two seconds later, the captive had completely disappeared from this world.
"Looks like there's a commander in the city, my lord. One of the attendants judged.
"They are gathering all their forces to retreat to defend the castle in the center. A wizard with a magic disk descended from the sky in a hurry. "Lord Ashrufat. There were no more enemies in other places, and those at the gates of the city were left behind to hold back our army. ”
"It's smart, but it's not enough. Ashrufat said. The enemy's commander made the right choice...... But it didn't work. The defeat of the Bloodfang Lord was sudden, and the city did not have enough troops left, and the second was not prepared for defense. Even if you gather forces to defend a small area, you can still be broken through in this situation.
"Gather everyone and attack the central castle at once. Ashrufat ordered. The enemy must not be left with a night to prepare, and if it does, the castle will not be completely occupied.
Walking inside this castle, you can understand how stupid it is to use brute force to attack the city. In fact, if it weren't for the Bloodfang Lord leading the army and being defeated, there would be no chance that Ashrufat's forces would have breached the castle.
Even if there was an insignificant enemy army left, even if the city gate had been half opened, Ashrufat still spent too much time at the city gate, and even had to dispatch monsters like Death Fang to finally break through.
"Have someone repair the gates and see if they can put other behemoths in and siege the city!"
Although the construction of the Blood Fortress is a miracle, the overall structure is not complicated. When Ashrufat arrived at the location of the central castle, the battle was raging.
The scene of the battle fully proved the judgment of Eshurufat. Although the central castle is supposed to be well-defended and impregnable, the resistance is nowhere near as strong as expected. This was due to the fact that the defeat of the Blood Fang Lord was too sudden, and the troops of the Blood Fortress were neither mentally nor materially prepared. Among other things, the vast array of war machinery at the head of the city was rarely used, and many more abusive warriors simply stood at the top of the city, engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the enemies who climbed up.
Truth be told, if the warriors of the Sadomasochism had not stood there waiting for battle, but had run to operate the war machines, the trebuchets and the ballistas, I am afraid that this hand-to-hand combat would not have happened - the enemy would have been crushed before he could climb up.
It was this lack of organization and unpreparedness that gave Ashrufat the confidence to immediately storm the central castle. He could see that the defeat of the Bloodfang Lord and the breach of the city gates had a major impact on the enemy's psyche, and if there was one more hard blow, the defenders would be completely demoralized and scattered.
The only trouble is that the Dead Fang, which was supposed to be used to siege the city, has actually gotten out of control due to the previous killing. A gang of Tzeentch wizards chased after the monster in an attempt to regain control of the monster. Anyway, the dead tooth is not counting on it for the time being.
"Call Sag, let his troops join the siege, and assault the whole army!" Ashrufat ordered. Then he swung his sword and rushed forward with the troops. At this time, it is the place to give full play to his strength. With just one more blow, the defenders of the city will not be able to hold it. No matter how wise their commanders are, they can't change the iron rules of war.
On the top of the city, countless hooks have long been hung. Ashrufat grabbed one and climbed up. The wizards' magic was providing him with fire cover, making it easy for him to jump onto the city. At that moment, seeing the invincible general ascend to the top of the city, the Chaos warriors below were in high spirits and cheered in unison.
The Warriors of Cruelty recognized the Chaos Armor and knew that this was the great hero who had defeated the Bloodfang Lord on the battlefield, and in the face of such an enemy, they retreated in fear, and no one dared to stand in front of him.
Ashrufat stood still on the wall for a second because he saw a figure he shouldn't have seen.
"Crack!" a whip shadow pierced the sky. In an instant, the battlefield fell silent. Everyone saw the invincible Chaos Lord Ashrufat's body being knocked away by the tremendous force and falling backwards, his Chaos armor shattering, countless fragments flying and spilling in the air.
