The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 237 The decisive battle is coming
Colt was planning to order these knights to prepare to go out of the city to meet the enemy, but unexpectedly they came to the door first.

"Commander Colt, Knight Leonardo pays tribute to you. Our Knights apply for immediate evacuation in order to preserve the vitality of the expeditionary army. If you agree, we also hope to go with the military flag and convey your last words. To your family, if you happen to have a daughter to look after."

Leonardo, the leader of the Knights, spoke confidently, but Colt couldn't bear it any longer. He immediately pulled out his revolver and shot Leonardo three times!
All three bullets hit Leonardo's plate armor firmly.

"I! No! Yes! Daughter! Son!"

Colt gritted his teeth with hatred, but he was born as a commoner, and he couldn't shake the noble knight in front of him.

He is ready to fight to the death for the elector to repay his appreciation!It turned out that these dirty noble worms actually said they were going to run away first?

Disturb the morale of the army!I want to shoot you!

But the reality is that he can't show any face to these nobles at all.

Three revolver bullets were fired, none of which broke the defense, and Leonardo even wiped the breastplate casually.

"Have you calmed down, Mr. Commander, I'm sorry to hear that you don't have a daughter, but Madam's words are not unacceptable, please allow me to think about it."

Leonardo was in a state of contemplation, as if he was really weighing this matter.

Angrily, Colt put the revolver directly into his neck, and fired three more shots one after another.

However, Leonardo just shook his body, feeling a little itchy.

He snatched Colt's revolver, and a friendly voice came from the steel helmet.

"Have you had enough trouble?"

"The knights are all transcendents with no bright future. Unlike you, everyone has hundreds of years to live. Your so-called honor is not worth mentioning in front of time."

"Maybe you should change your name to the Exquisite Selfish Knights." Colt sarcastically said.

"You just don't deserve our allegiance."

Leonardo coldly rejected Colt, turned around and led the knights towards the portal.

It was a respect for the appointing officer that they could come back and inform before they left.

Unexpectedly, Colt laughed out loud, not intending to stop the knights.

He sat down on the ground, and watched with interest as the knights touched their noses in the teleportation circle.

"How is this going?"

After the knights turned back, they immediately surrounded Leonardo.

The portal is unavailable.

They can't go back!

This is different from what the contract says.

Leonardo looked at his companions, only then did he realize that they had been deceived.

"Colt, I'll give you a chance to open the teleportation circle, and the brothers can take you along."

A knight threatened, but Colt just shook his head.

"Go? Do you think I don't want to go? I'm so loyal? So I don't care about my personal survival? I knew it when I came, and I was very clear. This portal doesn't only open once every few years, but only Wait years to open again!
Otherwise, why would they promote me as a commander?But no noble would choose to endure this risk, and so did you second sons who have no military exploits, you were all deceived by the elector and that woman! "

As soon as Colt said this, his subordinates also held rifles and pushed up cannons to surround them.

The magic guns in the hands of the zombies all aimed at them.

"Now, if you cooperate, we still have a glimmer of hope. If you don't cooperate, then everyone will die together."

Leonardo looked around at the officers and soldiers, their ashen faces were covered with blood and anger.

He has no doubt that if he and the others still insist on running first, these ordinary people will clean them up immediately.

The ornately decorated enchanted helmet was reluctantly taken off by Leonardo.

He could only compromise with Colt:

"Tell me about your plan."

In the distance, the headquarters of the First Army.

After a day of pleasant artillery bombardment, Ickert and the Ratman officers sat down one after another, drinking delicious meat and wine.

"Gentlemen, around noon tomorrow, we will have dinner in the fortress."

Ickert's words made the rat people laugh, and every rat was extremely confident in the clan's victory.

It can be seen from the food that the continuous supply of meat and wine from the rear inspired the nerves of the troops, and the new conscripts even thought that fighting was a spring outing.

Most skaven believe that they just need to pick up their guns and wait for the clan's powerful artillery to run out of ammunition to win.

Once there is any situation, anyway, the chief of the Ikert clan will solve everything. Under his command, the Ratmen have never lost.

After a simple dinner, the serious atmosphere of the past was restored in the headquarters of the First Army.

Because everyone knew that after such a fierce bombardment on the first day, the underground people must have understood that staying in the fortress was just waiting to die.

"The chief of the clan, the staff estimates that in less than two months at most, the opponent has only one chance to win by going out of the city and destroying our artillery. If they succeed, they can retreat and continue to defend.
There are not many living people left, and it is easier to fight if they are all undead. "

Targaryen said optimistically, but this does not mean that he can let go of his courage in the future, because if the opponent really dares to go out of the city to fight, he will definitely be sure.

According to the estimates of the Ratmen, they should have an extraordinary cavalry, and judging from the fact that the other party did not evacuate or receive reinforcements, these underground people may really not be able to go back.

A unit that fights to the death is far more dangerous than a unit that has a retreat, so the next time is the time to be most vigilant.

"Success is just around the corner. If we are defeated here, the development of the territory will come to naught! If we lose all our artillery, we won't be able to recover in a year or two. By then, everyone's survival will become a problem.
The more you get to the end, the stricter you are!The housekeeping mouse will increase its supervision from today, don't let me catch those who are slack. "

Ickert looked around at the rat people around him. As the saying goes, a proud soldier must be defeated, and he didn't want to indulge the old problems of the rat people.

The Ratman officers all felt the invisible pressure, as if they would be cut in half by Ickert's sword at any time.

The officers could only agree repeatedly, and pulled themselves away from the victory that was close at hand.

After returning to their respective troops, a group of ratmen who had neglected their duties were immediately punished, and those who were serious were even confiscated on the spot, which made the ratmen cheer up.
