Warhammer in a box

Chapter 114 The True Oppression of the Lord of Disaster
"My Lord Earl, are you okay?" the soldier asked nervously.

Emmanuelle covered the wound on his head and waved his hand to show that he was fine.

"How's the city going now?!"

"Sir, we have lost contact with the troops in other parts of the city. On the way here, we found many familiar people, but for some reason they don't seem to be interested in this place. They just keep setting fires and looting food in the city."

Hearing the officer's words, Emmanuelle was extremely angry. Her city had become like this under the attack of these evil creatures.

"Gather all the troops that can be assembled! Counterattack! Drive these rats out of my city for me!! The reinforcements from the empire must be on the way! I want revenge!! Raphael! Help me!" Emmanuel looked at Raphael, the mage.

"Don't worry! I will do my best to help you!"

"My Lord Earl! We heard the sound of gunfire coming from the Gunnery School on the way here. It seems that they are under siege by these monsters! The sound of fighting has not stopped. I think the Gunnery School has not fallen yet."

Emmanuel also looked in the direction of the Gunnery Academy. At this time, many tall buildings in the city had collapsed, but the tall towers of the Gunnery Academy were still standing.

"Gather the team! Go to the Gunnery Academy first! We need the weapons there for the counterattack! And what about the Redeemer?" Emmanuelle made a decision quickly. The muskets and cannons in the Gunnery Academy were her support, and she also remembered her own weapon, Noon.

The Redeemer is a steam tank that has been in service in the Empire for hundreds of years. It often returns to Nuln for maintenance and repairs. At this time, the tank is lying quietly in the warehouse waiting for engineers to come.

The ratmen's attack was so sudden that even the soldiers didn't have time to start the war machine.

"The Redeemer is struggling to operate right now. Forcing it to operate will likely cause irreparable damage. It was badly damaged in the previous battle with the Beastmen, and the engineers haven't had time to maintain it yet."

"Go and get it out to me! Are we going to wait until all of Nuln falls before we think of it? Go now!"

Amid Emmanuel's scolding, the officer ran to the warehouse where the tanks were stored.

The area near the Earl's castle was not the target of the ratmen's attack. After confirming that the Earl's castle was blown up, the ratmen actually missed the warehouse where the tanks were stored.

The Redeemer was driven out of the warehouse shakily, and it was obvious that the soldiers operating it were not very skilled.

After gathering his troops, Emmanuel launched a counterattack against his own city.

After Emmanuelle regained command, the chaos in the city of Nun was obviously much better. Under Emmanuelle's call, most of the soldiers who had fought on their own and lost their command system returned to her command.

The ratmen who returned to the ground under Chuan Kui Luo's command soon fought with them.

The sound of steam tank guns echoed in the city of Nuln, letting the people at the Gunnery Academy know that there were still troops fighting in the city.

"That cannon sound! It's the Redeemer! I can't have heard it wrong! This cannon sound is so familiar?! The Countess must be okay, that's great!" West said excitedly.

He still loved the earl from the bottom of his heart. After all, she had spared no effort in supporting the School of Gunnery.

Carl had arrived above Nuln riding on the Deathclaw. He looked down and saw ruins everywhere. He spotted Emmanuelle who was advancing at once. He flew towards Emmanuelle on the Deathclaw, and she, who was directing the battle on the steam tank, also spotted Carl.

"Your Majesty?!" Emmanuel's voice reached everyone's ears, and accompanied by the roar of the griffin, Carl landed safely.

"Your Majesty! You actually came here in person!"

"I'm so glad to see you're okay, Emmanuelle! Noon is too important to the Empire, and, despite our personal relationship, I'm here to help you! What happened to Noon?"

Emmanuel told Carl about the Skaven attack, and Carl realized its importance. One of the emperors of the empire was called Rat Slayer, so how could he not know about the Skaven race?
It's just that the ratmen have been hiding well underground. They rarely appear openly on the continent of the Old World. Coupled with the assassinations by the ratmen of Clan Eshin, humans have almost forgotten the existence of this race.

"Emmanuelle! Don't worry! The Empire's reinforcements are already outside the city, and this time even High Priest Walkerma has arrived with them."

"Great!"

But at this moment, the dark clouds in the sky began to show abnormalities.

The originally dark clouds began to surge, and a strange green color surged in the clouds. As a mage, Raphael couldn't help but say, "Countess! Your Majesty! I feel the violent magic of chaos! There is something wrong with this dark cloud!"

As soon as he finished speaking, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and raindrops as big as beans kept falling.

“It’s raining so hard…”

Many people looked at the sudden heavy rain and even reached out to catch it.

But soon, severe pain came from my hand.

"My hand! My hand! What happened to my hand!"

The soldier watched as a rash quickly broke out on the skin exposed outside his armor.

The rash grew larger and quickly began to ulcerate.

Emmanuelle immediately hid in the steam tank, shouting, "Everyone, hide in the house! Quick!"

As a wizard, Raphael used his magic power to form a magic shield around him to block the raindrops.

Although the surrounding buildings are damaged, they can still provide shelter from wind and rain.

The symptoms of the soldiers who were no longer directly exposed to the raindrops were also much milder.

But now organizing an army to attack has become a luxury.

"Raphael, what is going on!"

"Count! There's a spellcaster! And a very powerful one at that. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to cast such a large-scale spell. If we don't deal with him, Nuln City will be doomed!"

Carl on the side also raised the Ghalmaraz in his hand. The artifact continuously emitted the power of Sigmar to protect Carl, but it was impossible to ride the griffin into the sky.

"Emmanuelle, Raphael, in the name of the emperor, I ask you to help me find this spellcaster! Let's kill him together!"

And right below the dark clouds, where the magic was most turbulent, the location of the Corruptor was marked.

The two nodded towards Carl.

The roar of the steam tank engine began to carry them forward.

And Deathclaw also ran forward with his master.

Heavy rain soon began to cover Nuln.

Ludwig and his entourage were also hit by the heavy rain, and most of the soldiers had to take shelter in the houses.

Ludwig could only move forward with Rebecca, the dwarf Phillips and a small number of the most elite soldiers riding on Chimera and Leman Russ.

The most troublesome thing is the Gunnery Academy.

When it rained, all the artillery became useless.

There was no way anyone could keep shooting in this rain.

The soldiers had to abandon the sturdy city wall and retreat back into the house, and the city wall that the rat people had been unable to attack for a long time fell.
