Warhammer: Dark Elf
Chapter 4 Iron Thorn Town Attack and Defense
After executing a group of captives as sacrifices to Cairne, Morathi filled the remaining captives into the army as slave soldiers who served as the vanguard, and then led her army into Shilazo-Thar City with high spirits.
This third-level acropolis is the gateway to the ancient city of Quintex and is also the southern important town of the dark elves. Further down, the territory borders the Lustria Mountains occupied by the lizardmen.
Once Siladro-Thar is under control, the attack can frighten the ancient city of Quintex, and the defender can send a surprise force to bypass the ancient city and penetrate unhindered into the hinterland of the dark elves in the wasteland, threatening Naggarond where the Witch King is located.
The reason why Morathi is eager to pacify Neros is because the strategic significance of this city is too important.
She is indeed resentful of Malekith's punishment of banishing her, but she will still stand unswervingly on her son's side when it comes to important rights and wrongs.
After marching the army into the city of Taal, Morath allowed the soldiers to keep their weapons for three days and plunder as much as they wanted.
There is also a way to plunder. Instead of everyone rushing forward in one fell swoop, the troops were put into the city in batches.
At the same time, someone must block the city gate and surround the citizens in the city to prevent them from escaping.
Compared with being able to enter the city and plunder it, the oil and water required to siege the city is minimal.
Hemo took the initiative to volunteer and led hundreds of people to siege the city.
Although he accepted his identity as a dark elf, Hemo thought he still couldn't do it if he, who had just traveled through time, was asked to burn, kill, loot and capture slaves.
Of all goods, slaves were the most valuable asset. The number of slaves is regarded as the simplest way to determine whether a Druchi noble is powerful in Dark Elf society.
So when Hemo proposed to guard the door, Morathi glanced at him in surprise, but didn't say anything.
*
At the north gate of Siladro-Thar City, Hemo, who had put on the Dread Lord Armor, stood on a slope and looked at the city filled with thick smoke. Even though he was hundreds of meters away, he could still hear the heart-rending screams. One after another.
On the chilly frozen soil of the Far North, a massacre among the same tribe was going on in an orderly manner.
The cruelty of the dark elves is one thing in the game, but it is another thing to see it with your own eyes.
The kindness of humanity made Helmer feel unbearable, but it was impossible for him to save the citizens who were being robbed. After all, he was dependent on others. The weak shed blood, which is also the rule of dark elf society.
Although cruel, using hatred to drive the direction of the race is effective.
This is the world of Warhammer.
All he can do now is live well.
"The Kane that the Dark Elves believe in now is completely indistinguishable from Khorne, one of the four evil gods of Chaos, and is even more ruthless to his own people. How could Druchi, who is immersed in fighting with his roommates, have the power to march into Ulthuan."
"One day, I will let the dark elves change the current rules of survival and unite with the outside world. To conquer everything, not only to regain the island of Ulthuan, but also many countries in the old world." The cold frost wind blew across my cheeks, Helmer clenched his gauntlet and swore secretly.
Behind Helmer stood rows of fully armed Dread Spearmen. They were as quiet as sculptures. Although their eyes looking at the city were restless and unwilling, no one dared to leave the group without permission.
This force was the personal guard given to Hemo by Morathi. In addition, there were two fully-staffed regiments of Anni Swordsmen and Black Sharp Crossbowmen, which were dispersed by Hemo to the other three cities. Door guard. The six troops combined to attack more than 600 people were all the forces that Hemo could command now.
The uninterrupted looting lasted for three full days before Hemer led people into Taal City.
The city of the dark elves is famous for its hard ground and towering black spiers. The rough and terrifying walls extend upward, clenching into spiers and invading the sky. The whole city is purple and full of the cold feeling of metal.
The blood of the same people dyed every wall red, and the blood on the street merged into a stream and trickled into the underground water storage. Many houses were forcibly destroyed and burned, and they were buzzing in the blazing flames.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of burning and blood, which made people feel sick to their stomachs.
After settling the troops, Helmer went to Tal Tower to meet Morathi.
At this time, all the sorceresses and lords under Morathi had gathered in the hall of the castle. They stood together in twos and threes, discussing the crazy plundering in the past few days, chatting and laughing. Helmer even saw drops of blood dripping from the armors of several lords.
Helmer was the last one to arrive. Seeing that everyone was almost there, Morathi cleared her throat.
"Hush, my servants."
The originally noisy hall suddenly became quiet, and you could hear a pin drop.
"You came just in time, Hermer, and I am very satisfied with your loyalty. I have something to reward you." Morathi, who was sitting on the lord's throne, snapped her fingers, and a slave gave her a set of magic armor.
"Thank you, sir, it's my honor." Hemer first knelt down on one knee and handed over to Morathi, and then took over the green inner armor.
The properties of the armor popped up in the Warhammer interface at the right time.
Gambler's Armor (rare)
Simplicity: Lalande, the god of thieves, liars, and gamblers, blessed this armor, and with it, those who would try to wear it.
Effect: Troop Armor +5
Special protection: 8%
(Special protection: All types of damage are reduced by this value.)
"I'll go, Aunt Mo is so arrogant." Hemo was a little surprised when he silently read the attributes of the armor.
This set of magical inner armor not only allows the lord who wears it to gain bonuses, but the troops under his command can also gain corresponding bonuses.
Moreover, the armor here does not only point to melee defense or long-range defense, but to all defense bonuses.
Coupled with the feature of absolutely reducing damage by 8%, it is indeed the best.
"Do you like it?" Morathi crossed her arms and stared at Hemo with interest.
"Well, thank you, sir." Hemo took the armor and showed a doggy smile.
Sure enough, hugging the thigh is the end of Gou's way.
Hang out with Aunt Mo, eat and drink!
The surrounding lords saw this and smiled with joy.
During the robbery, everyone got a lot of benefits, and this armor was considered as compensation for Hemo. Therefore no one is displeased.
"Serve your queen well, and you will get more. So will you." Morathi looked around at the generals below and said loudly: "But remember, all rights, wealth, slaves, and beauties, all rewards are There is a corresponding price to pay. I will not take in useless people."
After beating the ministers, Morathi stood up, walked to the conference table below, and spread out the map of the Nagaroth region.
"Come all over."
Hemo and others did not dare to neglect and leaned over.
The surrounding lords looked at him and were not angry. Instead, they smiled and patted his shoulder, "I didn't expect that our Lord Hemo is still an innocent young man, haha. I'll take you to the pleasure hall some other time and you'll know. The benefits of the Joy Sect.”
A charming sorceress with smoky makeup even boldly leaned on Helmer, touching him with a pair of flirtatious hands.
"Hey, sister, what are you doing..."
Someone blushed, secretly thinking that it was indeed the Tomb of Heroes of Wenwen Village.
Morathi glanced at him, chuckled meaningfully, then asked everyone to be quiet, and began to analyze the current situation.
Let’s get down to business. The major lords changed their styles and immediately listened seriously to Morathi's words.
"Now, most of the territory of Quintex Province has been brought under my command. The resisters are dead, and no one dares to cause trouble anymore."
"The scouts came to report that they found a group of Skaven entrenched in the Lost Gate in the south of Tower City. These ants of the Eclipse Clan are not worthy of my attention, but the lizardmen in the Lustria Mountains below the Lost Gate It’s very troublesome.”
"Mazdamudi, Master Ma?"
"Do you know him?" Morathi looked at Helmer doubtfully.
The latter realized that he was just a dark elf civilian before, how could he know this.
So he smiled awkwardly and said, "I just heard about it."
Morathi glanced at him suspiciously and continued: "The rats of the Eclipse Clan are nothing to worry about, but Mazdammoody will most likely regain the Lost Gate. I will not allow any dirty ratmen to set foot on Titan. The peak area affects my rule."
"But I can't live here for too long. There are still some things that need to be dealt with in the ancient city of Quintex. In addition, Nagareth, which occupies the eastern Black Coast, Anaheim Port, and the desolate garrison city above It’s a target that needs to be eliminated.”
"Calvisish, I need you to be stationed here to stop possible invasions and looting for me."
"As you wish, Queen." A tall sorceress respectfully accepted the order.
"The rest will lead their armies and return to Quintex with me to rest and recuperate. They will march to Anaheim soon to open the road to Nagarond."
"As for you, Homer."
As soon as Aunt Mo read his name, Hemo guessed that she was probably going to give him a task.
Morathi looked at him, and traced her slender fingers towards Ironthorn Town under the Titan Peaks to the west of Shilazo-Thar.
"Ironthorn Town is backed by the mountains on the west side of the Titan Peaks. The iron produced there is of great use to me. The remaining remnants of Neros are entrenched here, and there are not many defenders. Take your people to capture this place. After occupying it, wait for my next order."
Do you want to conquer Iron Thorn Town yourself?
Hemer wasn't sure he could win, since it was his first time leading alone.
If you lose in the game, you lose, but in reality, losing can cost hundreds of lives.
So Helmer felt his heart heavy.
"Is there any problem?" Morathi asked.
"no problem."
Aunt Mo is right in front of you. If you have a problem, you have to say it's okay.
"Very well, Elladen will help you complete your mission. She will be your right-hand man until you receive my order."
The charming sorceress who had touched Hemo before bowed to him and saluted with a charming voice, "Lord, I am happy to serve you."
Hemo couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, why is this such a bold big sister?
Although he was speechless, he still checked the other party's numerical value.
Eladen is level three and is a death sorceress.
The skills are Soul Extraction and Dread Knight Incarnation.
She was dressed in a blank slate with zero bonuses, but the equipment column of her confidant and battle flag showed that she had brought a member of the Joy Sect with her.
Followers of the Cult of Joy
Brief: All believers hope to be favored by the Prince of Joy.
Effect: Character aura leadership +5
(Halo skill: On the battlefield, any troops within the aura range of this character will receive a leadership bonus.)
Eladen's character is cunning.
Cunning: Deception is an excellent attack technique.
Effect: Allows poison attacks
The chance of ambush success is increased by 10%
Hemo didn't have a heroic character in his hands, and the death-type Eladen was obviously a helper, but he knew that in addition to assisting him, Eladen's main task was to monitor his every move for Morathi.
Anyway, I can only rely on Morathi for the time being. I can't make any big waves, so surveillance doesn't matter.
"Thank you very much." Hemoxu helped the other person up and said with a smile.
After giving instructions on the general policy, Morathi discussed some military affairs with everyone. After almost an hour, she felt a little tired, so she waved away everyone without interest.
"That's it for now. Let's dismiss the meeting."
Before leaving, she looked at Helmer and said, "Don't let me down, my servant."
"Do my best."
Hemo saluted, thinking in his heart, if you can hit him, hit him, if you can't hit him, then continue to shake him.
So after resting in Taal City for a few days, Morathi led the main army towards the ancient city of Quintex, preparing to launch troops against the desolate guards and Nagaryth entrenched on the sea-colored coast.
Helmer, who led the army alone, led his 600 personal guards and the newly joined death sorceress Eladen towards Ironthorn Town in the west.
Ironthorn Town is located on the left side of the Titan Peaks. It is nominally under the jurisdiction of the Quintex Ancient City Province and is famous for its iron ore production.
Its geographical location is also very advantageous, located on the edge of the world. To the west is a dangerous zone surrounded by magical winds that no one can enter. To the north are the towering Titan peaks, and to the south are the continuous Lustria Mountains. There is a narrow mountain path leading to the Lost Gate.
To the east, it echoes the ancient city of Quintex in the north and Shirazo-Thar in the south, forming a diagonal relationship.
Corroded by Chaos, the original frozen soil was shattered and there were many areas of gushing magma. Helmer carefully led the army through these dangerous areas.
It was winter now, and he, a southern dog, was suffering from the cold.
After finally marching for several days, they arrived outside Iron Thorn Town. The remnants of Neros' army on the opposite side had already set up a formation to meet the enemy.
After the continuous trek, everyone was a little tired. Hemer first asked the troops to retreat a few miles, camped on the edge of the mountains to rest for a night, and captured Iron Thorn Town in one fell swoop the next day.
The next day, on the cold and windy Chaos Plains outside Iron Thorn Town, the Neros garrison came out in a linear formation with their backs to the city. There were two full-number Dread Spearmen regiments with 240 people, and two full-number Gloomy Swordsman regiments with 240 people. people, two fully equipped black sharp repeating crossbowmen, 180 people. A total of 660 people were lined up neatly, their black armor cast a cold light, their swords were like a forest, and hundreds of powerful crossbows were cocked and ready to go.
Helmer was riding a dark horse, standing on a hillside and looking at the local military formations and Iron Thorn Town.
Due to the congenital lack of supplies, most dark elves live in major city-states to avoid the dispersion of supplies, resulting in the cities of Druchi becoming some of the most densely populated cities in the world. Therefore, although Iron Thorn Town is nominally a town-level city, it is actually It is no different in size from an ordinary first-level city.
Helmer rode on a dark horse, looking at the brightly lit Ironthorn Town in the cold wind and the Titan peaks against which it rested, his heart palpitating.
Iron ore is produced here. Pig iron ore can be used to make many things, but in the old world, the main use of steel was to make weapons. Some races, such as dwarves, have special talents when it comes to playing with steel.
"If I can capture this place, I will have my own stronghold. As for Aunt Mo's orders, I can obey them. The spicy chicken shreds are as high as the sky and as far away as the emperor. How beautiful!"
Helmer looked hot.
"Lord Hemer, our warriors are ready." Eladen stood gracefully not far away, holding a staff.
If she wanted to monitor Hemmer, she would naturally stay close to him.
"Okay." Hemo rode into his own camp and arranged his troops.
To be honest, he is very poor at playing Warhammer. He can play simple difficulty battles, and the system predicts a smooth victory, but he can turn it into a bloody battle by hand.
Hemer was in trouble the first time he lined up his troops. In the past, he could use the game's mechanics to defend the corner of justice.
But this is no longer a game. Behind him is a vast expanse of frozen land, with no danger to defend at all.
"What formation should be used to fight the enemy?" Hemer thought over and over again while sitting on the dark horse. Since the opponent did not have a cavalry unit that could surround and harass the enemy, he decided to use the triangle tactic.
The army will be arranged in a triangle. A team of fear spearmen are arranged on the left and right strings respectively, forming an arch angle.
A group of gloomy swordsmen were placed on the side of the battlefield as a back-up force.
Another team of Gloomy Swordsmen was deployed behind the camp of the Dread Spearmen as a reserve team, filling in the lines at any time.
The line infantry protected the two teams of black sharp crossbowmen in the middle area, and the entire formation looked like an arrow.
There are more people on the opposite side than Hemer, and there is a high probability that Neros' remnant army will come over in a wave without a lord commanding them.
All Hemer has to do is withstand the first wave of attacks and then counterattack.
Just after the formation was deployed, a long and thick horn sound was heard coming from the direction of Iron Thorn Town.
Rows of fear spearmen walked coldly through the frozen soil of the ice field, walking in neat lines, slowly approaching Hemer's army.
At the same time, on both sides of them were gloomy swordsmen holding swords and shields, and behind them were two full-length black-sharp crossbowmen.
Hundreds of people moved in an orderly manner and came over in a mighty and mighty manner.
On the Hemo side, the army was like a rock, standing still, with withered flags fluttering ferociously in the wind, and the soldiers who were waiting for work were waiting for the day and ready to go.
