Chapter 617, Chaos Dwarves
The Darkness is located in the east of the Roof of the World, in the south of the Ogre Kingdom, and in the east of the Badlands. This is an extremely barren plain. Thousands of years ago, it has become stinky and barren under the corruption of chaos. one slice.
Humans in many provinces of the current empire used to have many human tribes that used to be in the dark realm. When Chaos invaded, these human tribes that were still drinking blood were powerless to fight against the Chaos demons. They were wiped out or succumbed to Chaos, but still Many tribes chose to leave. They migrated to the east under the oracle of Urik, the Lord of the White Wolf, and Tal, the God of Nature, the King of the Gods of the Old World. Most of the well-known human residents of Talabek Territory and Midden Land are humans who migrated from the dark land. The white wolf god Urik used his giant ax to carve out a monster on the mountains. The plane allows his followers to build their main temple on it.
This is the famous giant temple of Ulrich in Middenheim.
Similarly, Talabheim is also the place chosen by the god of nature Tal for these humans in the dark realm.
These humans have gone through untold hardships in the process of migration, and the very famous dwarves saw humans for the first time at this time. The High King on the Eternal Peak was quite dissatisfied with this, thinking that this group of inferior creatures The bloody race did not come to pay the due respect to the High King of the dwarves, and recorded the human faux pas in the book of hatred.
However, the dwarves finally let these fleeing human tribes cross the Roof of the World Mountains, and then firmly blocked their pursuers, including Beastmen, Greenskins, and Ogres to the east of the Roof of the World Mountains.
The birth of the Chaos Dwarves was thousands of years before the migration of human tribes in the Dark Realm. How the Chaos Dwarves were born has already been mentioned above. A group of stubborn dwarven pioneers were unwilling to leave the Dark Realm. "Correction" was trapped in this heavily corrupted land and lost contact with the dwarves of the Roof of the World Mountains.
As we all know, dwarves are extremely resistant to chaos and corruption. Facing the severe corruption of the dark environment, they endured. Facing continuous erosion for thousands of years, they redoubled their patience and begged the three main gods of the dwarves to grant themselves salvation.
But this patience has a limit after all. In the long years, the three main gods of the dwarves never gave any oracle to these desperate dwarves. In the pain, a brand new god appeared in front of these dwarves. Its appearance is a giant blood-red bull, and it calls itself "Father of Darkness" Hasut, the secondary god of chaos.
Thus, through an unknown transformation, the Dwarves of Darkness became Chaos Dwarves.
Over the millennia, as a reward for the blood, faith, and sacrifices offered by the Chaos Dwarves, Hasut bestowed on the Chaos Dwarves the secrets of the power of Chaos that they themselves possessed.
Now, Tamu Khan and his Chaos army have arrived near the Blackwater River. As long as they cross the Blackwater River, the opposite is the kingdom of Chaos Dwarves.
At this time, Tamu Khan's army from the Kurgan Prairie was less than 80,000, but many beastmen, giants, and ogres were continuously added along the way. It is more indescribable, so his strength is still more than 100,000.
In the stinky chaotic environment, the maggot king and his chaotic army camped along the river. The whole army searched for food in the wilderness in an orderly manner. Those hungry chaotic predators and plague ogres even began to gnaw The chaos eggs in the army were eaten, and Tamu Khan was powerless. He was just the chosen champion of Nurgle. He only had the blessing of Nurgle on him. Dirty warriors of Chaos.
The only one who can command the entire Chaos army smoothly is the Chaos Eternal Chosen who is blessed by the four Chaos gods at the same time.
Therefore, when this large army was forced to camp for a period of time in winter due to supply problems and crossing problems,
When the marauders and beastmen, ogres, and trolls were left to prey on their own, the whole army was in such a mess that Tamu Khan had to promise to cross the river immediately after a short rest, and at the same time announced loudly that he had left the river. The benevolent father Nurgle received an oracle, and he will hold a grand sacrificial ceremony to praise the benevolent father Nurgle, which barely suppressed the chaos of the Chaos army. The glory spread on this land expressed dissatisfaction. After weighing the upcoming honor, they temporarily endured their dissatisfaction.
After a huge sacrifice, Tamu Khan has undergone even greater changes. He now looks like a mass of festering carrion with a foul smell all over his body. The body was spreading and flying, and many internal organs had been exposed, dripping out oil constantly. Khan's subordinates had to use ropes and plate armor to "sew" Khan's body together to prevent Tamu Khan from Disintegrating automatically, a pustular crown grew on his head, and on the crown was a twisted horn.
The leader of Chaos looked at the Black Castle standing in the distance. This fortress of the Chaos Dwarves was like an obsidian dagger, piercing straight into the sky full of burning smoke. The Black Castle located in the southeast of the Chaos Dwarf Kingdom was a magnificent sight. The jagged castle on the black volcanic rock plateau seems to welcome the army of chaos from afar.
At this time, the Chaos Dwarf army of the Chaos Dwarf warlord, Gray Prophet Drazhorth, is also ready.
For a thousand years, Black Castle has stood here as a magnificent landscape and an important defensive stronghold in the eastern part of the Chaos Dwarf Kingdom. For centuries, the master of this dark place is the powerful spellcaster-Grey Prophet Drazhorth, The Chaos Dwarf was first sent to Castle Black as an exile from the capital, but years later he became Lord of the Castle and leader of the Chaos Dwarves through ruthless ambition through his innate cunning and forbearance.
This is a very terrifying Chaos Dwarf Warrior and Prophet Wizard. He rode a terrible blazing Taurus-Slag Breath and led his troops to bring death and flames to the enemy. When he got the news that a Chaos army was approaching When they arrived at Black Castle, Gray Prophet Drazhorth had already prepared for war. Along the embankment where the Chaos Army crossed the river, Gray Prophet Drazhorth's army of Chaos Dwarves was already in full swing. The most elite purgatory guard army It was arranged in the middle of the entire Chaos Dwarf army.
These purgatory guards are the most powerful warriors among the Chaos Dwarves. These warriors are composed of people who have suffered reputational disgrace or defeat. Such a shame is unbearable for the proud Chaos Dwarves. Put on a fiery iron or bronze mask, fight countless terrifying monsters in the desolate wasteland, and finally become the Infernal Guard. They are equipped with both Infernal Tomahawks and Burning Blades.
Iron Oath Guards and Burning Blade Guards with slightly weaker combat effectiveness protected the gray-white Prophet Drazhorth's front. Rows of black muzzles pointed directly at the Chaos army preparing to cross the river. There were many Chaos Dwarves in the line. Unnamed war machines are ready to go, dozens of demonic lava cannons and siege mortars opened their black mouths, several chaotic hell cannons are facing the sky high,
In addition, there are a very large number of slave auxiliary soldiers.
Obviously, facing the army of Tamu Khan, the Gray Prophet Drazhoth understood that he was facing a chaotic army of more than 100,000 people, and his army was only a little over 10,000 without slaves , the hope of winning this war is extremely slim. This will be an unprecedented fierce battle and there is no sign of this battle.
However, the Gray Prophet does not intend to surrender or negotiate peace at all. Whether it is a dwarf or a chaotic dwarf, its stubborn nature will not retreat or surrender because of any reason. With morale high, they will fight to the death to protect their castle and the land of the Dark Father Hasut, as long as there is a breath left!
Though sacrifice and destruction was inevitable, and though the castle of the Chaos Dwarves might be doomed, Drazhorth decided to fight it head-on, for the glory and bounty of Hashut the Dark Father must not be desecrated.
If you want to fight, just fight!
Thus, on the banks of the Blackwater River, the army of the Chaos Dwarves and the Chaos army of Tammur Khan had a terrible encounter.
At the beginning of the war, Tamu Khan immediately ordered the whole army to press up. The yellow-green Chaos army directly relied on the shoal of the river embankment, forcibly crossed the river, and charged towards the army of Hasut, the father of darkness. After Tamu Khan's army approached, the dwarves continued to fight back with arrows and artillery fire, and the dense rain of bullets seemed to be like hail. Strange and weird projectiles continuously flew from the Chaos Dwarves into the enemy formation, and with a loud bang, soldiers and beasts were continuously blown into a pile of minced meat under this ferocious blow. , or a burning heap of slag.
The entire Chaos Army formation turned into a terrible sea of flames. The power of thousands of Chaos Dwarf muskets and hundreds of cannons almost shook the entire Blackwater River, and thousands of Chaos troops fell in succession in the first charge. , the demon firearms of the Chaos Dwarves contain explosive energy, and the Chaos Dwarves are as tenacious as their former compatriots. Even if a small number of Chaos troops came to the front, the neat Chaos Dwarf warriors still easily killed Tamu Khan vanguard.
However, after just 20 to 30 minutes of fighting, the pressure on the Chaos Dwarves immediately began to increase, because their absolute inferiority in numbers quickly plunged them into the vast ocean of the Chaos army. Tamu Khan calmly ordered The pressure of the whole army caused the Chaos army to be crushed in number. After the first few rounds of volleys, the Chaos dwarves began to fall into close combat.
The advantages of the Chaos Warriors who believed in Nurgle began to play out. Although their speed was slow, the fatal injuries to ordinary people could not stop them. Instead of fighting, the Chaos Dwarf Musketeers were forced into close combat.
At the same time, under the order of Tamu Khan, the Chaos Dragon Knight Okhbar-Vingut, who was riding a Chaos Dragon, led the air troops and Chaos Knights around the back of the Chaos Dwarf army. Tamu Khan accurately judged Out of Chaos Dwarves move slowly and are unable to protect their own logistical routes under such a huge frontal pressure.
The Chaos Dragon Knight Ohbar-Poison Gut really intercepted the supply team of the Chaos Dwarves, charged and pursued the fleeing enemies, and successfully blocked the supply of the Chaos Dwarves. Now, those powerful war machines And the artillery and the muskets that the Chaos Dwarves are proud of can no longer be replenished with gun bullets.
The firepower of the Chaos Dwarves began to weaken slowly. What's worse, these Chaos Dwarves consumed too much ammunition to attack Chaos Eggs, Chaos Trolls, and Chaos Ogres.
At this time, the entire Blackwater River has been turned into a slaughterhouse of flesh and blood. It seems that Tamu Khan and his Chaos army have an absolute advantage, but the Chaos Dwarves have no plans to retreat. These Chaos Dwarves Shouting the name of Hasut, Father of Darkness, squads join the battlefield, throwing themselves into the battle to fill the gap.
The sky is full of black smoke, and the light of blood and fire spreads on the battlefield. The warriors of Chaos shouted for Nurgle, for glory, and joined the battlefield. The fall of thousands of Kurgans will not stop them, they will use their own blood , for himself, for Tamu Khan, and for his loving father, Nurgle, to open a path to glory.
The war fought from morning to noon.
Among the rebellious army, Tamu Khan gestured towards Say, the Faithless, and he issued an order through his festering and pus-feeding trachea: "Say, send them."
Sai the Faithless held the witchcraft staff, he frowned: "Are you sure?"
"I said, immediately, send them!" Tamu Khan said loudly, "immediately!"
Say stared, staring directly at Tamu Khan's rotten flesh: "You..."
"Immediately! Otherwise, you, go up." The maggot king had a tough attitude.
Say, the unbelievers, was very annoyed. He really didn't want to send out his trump card troops, but the situation in front of him was not optimistic, and the great wizard of Daowan tribe finally nodded in agreement.
"Send the War Mammoth Brigade immediately!"
"Send the War Mammoth Brigade!"
