Chapter 1625 Chapter 258. Airship crashes
The ratmen began to realize that everything that happened was related to the wine barrels that fell from the sky. The elite rats took the initiative to avoid the area with the wine barrels, and the reckless rats picked up stones and ice cubes and threw them out. Most of the thrown objects were not accurate and fell and hit other ratmen.

However, one piece was thrown by someone unknown and hit the wine barrel, exploding dozens of meters above the ground.

The spilled alcohol instantly turned into frosty mist, floating down and covering a small group of rats.

The rats were restless. The special nasal structure of the ratmen made them become drunk and shake their heads after inhaling the alcohol mist for a few seconds.

call--

Stray bullets whizzed past, and the moment they brushed past the wine mist, the air exploded, and the expanding flames enveloped a large group of ratmen, their bodies burning and their eyeballs bursting.

The ratman priest looked up and watched as several black specks in the air retreated after throwing wine barrels.

But then, a black monster floated from behind, which was several times larger than the other black spots, and the outline of a stick could barely be seen.

It came above the rat tide and dropped wine barrels faster and more densely than the previous "young creatures".

Each wine barrel is equivalent to a non-continuous wall of fire, because it cannot completely kill the ratmen, it will only make them crazy, which causes greater distraction than cannonballs and wall of fire.

The rat-man priest stood up from his sedan chair, raised his spinal staff high, and his sharp screams echoed above the rat tide.

The sky suddenly took on a green hue, and as the ratman priest's spell became sharper, a stream of evil energy suddenly penetrated the clouds, condensing the swirling green mist into a funnel-shaped vortex.

wow-

The clouds that were supposed to be dropping snowflakes suddenly dropped a green rain curtain.

The raindrops corroded by the evil energy into acid fell on the ratmen. Their narrow pupils turned scarlet and they were driven crazy, speeding up their charge.

But the effect of the fel rain was not limited to this. The first drop of acid rain fell on the fast cloth of the reconnaissance airship below the cloud, instantly melting a hole the size of a palm.

Then the second drop, the tenth drop, and countless drops followed.

Heat escaped through the hole, revealing the shriveled wooden keel. The huge black monster shriveled up like a ball in the eyes of the ratman priest.

"Emergency landing! Emergency landing!"

The goblins scrambled about the airship, lost their balance, and slid off the deck.

The goblin holding the steering wheel turned the direction, and the crooked airship barely fell towards the ratman priest, and then plunged into a group of rats that was still three or four hundred meters away from the ratman priest.

"Tricks, human stuff, useless!"

The rat-man priest sneered in a shrill voice.

The crashed airship did not explode, and did not even kill many ratmen. Ratmen continued to emerge from Fastbury, and waves of rats continued to crawl over the airship.

There are at least a hundred barrels on the crashed airship. At this time, the best course of action is to set the airship on fire, but... there are still surviving goblins in the airship.

"Locklen, tell the artillery to fire at the position of the airship." Fermi ordered coldly.

Adjutant Lokeren hesitated and stood still.

Fermi was about to say something when a skyship in the distance suddenly erupted in earth-shattering flames.

The moment more than a hundred barrels of alcohol exploded, the evil energy rain evaporated into a vacuum sphere with a diameter of hundreds of meters. The Fastbu ignited when it met fire, and a sea of ​​green and red flames exploded in the green evil energy rain. Boom——

The horrific explosion even made the ratman priest on the sedan chair feel the intense heat wave.

All the ratmen within a hundred-meter range, whether they were elite rats or reckless rats, were knocked over by the terrifying shock wave. The unexploded wine barrels were blown away and splashed out like cannonballs, turning into a burning fireball in the air. Wherever they landed, a sea of ​​fire exploded.

The keel fragments were also blown away by the explosion. They turned into burning red blades, and a rotating propeller blade pierced through the waists of several ratmen, still buzzing as it pierced into the ice, and threw the half of the rat intestine hanging on the blade teeth into the faces of other ratmen.

The strong liquor and rat blood in the barrel burned together, forming a sticky blue-red pool of fire. The struggling rats danced a dance of death in the fire, and the crackling sound of burning fat mixed with shrill screams, like ripe and bursting berries - both a metaphor and a description.

The evaporating water vapor, carrying with it the fel energy and acid mist, condensed into a red and green mushroom cloud in the sky that was still clearly visible more than ten miles away.

The heat wave and the cold air intertwined, quickly hatching a terrifying acid rain cloud——

It was no longer the rain of evil energy that the Skaven priests had blessed before. The corrosive acid rain condensed from the evil energy that had changed its nature due to the high temperature poured down on the Skaven, corroding honeycomb-like holes.

The area within 100 meters of the crash site was a sea of ​​fire, and no ratmen survived. Within 500 meters, the ratmen within the acid rain were corroded and riddled with holes.

The explosion from the reconnaissance airship wiped out nearly ten percent of the rat tide.

Fermi put away the telescope and said after a short silence: "Locklen, record this. The reconnaissance airship was attacked by the rat priests. In order to kill the rat tide, the reconnaissance knights set the airship on fire and died together with the rats."

Whether it was an accident or the goblins deliberately detonated the barrels is not important. The fact is that they sacrificed themselves to delay the rat tide.

Before they even reached the front, the rats' casualties had reached 20%. However, for human soldiers, these casualties were enough to destroy their morale, but they had almost no effect on the ratmen.

As long as the rat priests are still there, the rat tide will keep charging until they are all wiped out.

The rain of fel energy continued to fall, and as the reconnaissance airship was unable to take off, the red-eyed ratmen that continued to pour in like a tide filled the previous advantage of the humans, and the ratmen once again closed the distance.

Three hundred meters, two hundred and fifty meters, two hundred meters...

The Hellfire Legion is not the Imperial Guard after all, and they have reached their limits.

If the news got outside, it would be unbelievable that ordinary soldiers with few professionals could wipe out a tide of elite rats that was a hundred times their number.

The goblins, who were just grieving over the death of their tribesmen, started to squeak and scream again, saying that they wanted to fill the airship with barrels of wine and come back for another wave.

"No, you have other uses."

Fermi rejected the goblins' request to fight, and told them to just observe the direction of the snow mountain. He said to Adjutant Lockeron, "Tell Miss Ilimoyas that it's their turn to take action."

Adjutant Lokran walked quickly to the rear, and soon, five giant dragons rose into the air behind the Hellfire Army, raising a cloud of frost.

They had a clear goal and headed straight for the rat priests deep in the rat tide.

At the same time, the ratmen's tentacles also extended to a hundred meters away from the Hellfire Army.

The reconnaissance airship floating overhead waved a flag, and the centurions who saw this scene shouted and ordered all soldiers to climb onto the ice wall and shoot at the back row of the rat tide from high above, forming artificial waves to create a buffer zone for the front row of Black Watch soldiers and prevent the dense rat swarm from attacking the front row.
