Warhammer in a box

Chapter 159 Countercharge

Manfred also felt the difficulty of this imperial army. He originally still used the old method, using endless low-level undead to consume the enemy's ammunition and personnel, and finally using powerful undead, behemoths, ghosts, and magic to devour these ignorant humans in one go.

The plot was indeed unfolding as he had imagined.

A large amount of harassment successfully caused casualties among humans and consumed their energy and spirit. After a few days, the firepower of the defending empire began to decline significantly.

The incredibly powerful artillery did not fire again.

But just one day later, Manfred heard a report from his men: those humans were actually building a wall? In just one night, a wall several meters high suddenly appeared on the land of Sylvania thanks to the efforts of the Mechanicus, and this trend was accelerating.

Manfred doesn't want anyone to plant a thorn in his own territory!
He couldn't understand why humans would occupy a barren wasteland!
He even wanted to take action himself and kill these people, but when he thought about how he was almost killed by Zhang Heng in Terra... he sat back in his chair weakly.

In Manfred's heart, Zhang Heng has now become a sword of Damocles hanging over his head, as if the sword will fall at any time when he appears in front of Terra's army.

But no matter how dangerous it was, he could not let the empire stay here, so the land of Sylvania was divided, the vampire nobles and the vampire behemoth units were awakened from the tombs, and the necromancers began to summon the ghosts who were spirits.

Legions of vampires began to gather. Vampires also had their own high-level troops. Manfred did not go to the battlefield himself, but handed the troops over to his favorite general Helmut von Carstein.

A group of grave guards called Helmut's Guards was also handed over to Helmut.

Then, overwhelming numbers of undead headed towards Aviland and where Terra was stationed.

The Altdorf reinforcements led by Helberg from Altdorf have almost entered Sylvania.

As night falls, none of the human soldiers on the battlefield can sleep peacefully. They all know that night is when these undead creatures are at their strongest, and often the most violent attacks also come at this time.

Terra's soldiers would occasionally release a flare into the sky, which was much more useful than the illumination magic released by fire mages or light mages. At least it did not require the mage to consume his precious magic reserves.

"Brother, will these undead attack again tonight?" A Terra soldier in the trench asked the veteran beside him.

"May the Emperor bless you, you crow-mouth, stop talking nonsense. The next batch of ammunition transport teams for the Earthshakers haven't arrived yet. The roads here are really a mess. We really should ask the priests to build the railway here."

The saying that if you want to get rich you must first build roads is true no matter where you put it. With the help of a large number of craftsmen and complete and advanced technology, a railway has been built between the city of Terra and several nearby villages and towns. It is also thanks to the frequent and thorough clearances in Terra that these railways can operate normally.

Longer railways, such as those to Nuln and Altdorf, are also being planned, but this really depends on the local security and prosperity, otherwise even if you build it, it will be dug up.

Just as the soldiers were chatting in the trenches.

"Eh? Is it my illusion? Maybe I haven't had a good sleep for too long? Why are the stones on the ground shaking?"

The soldier rubbed his eyes, and the veteran beside him also looked at the ground.

"not good!!"

The veteran soldier on guard at the front line immediately blew the whistle in his hand. The sharp sound of the whistle was like a spark, which immediately ignited the tension among the people.

"Searchlight!! Flares!"

The soldier immediately turned the searchlight in his hand and shone it towards the darkness in the distance.

But the light only revealed pale faces.

"It's the undead!!" All of a sudden there was a burst of gunfire on the battlefield. This time the number of undead was countless times larger than before. After several rounds of volleys, it seemed that the endless tide of corpses had not been consumed much.

The artillery also opened fire at the same time, and one shell after another smashed into the pile of undead.

At this time, the sound of flapping wings appeared in the sky.

Leidolf, who had been supervising the battle and observing the battlefield, looked up at the sky at the same time.

"Here they come! They're heading for the artillery! Soldiers, raise your halberds! Protect the artillery!!"

Sure enough, in the endless darkness above their heads, more than a dozen huge bat-like creatures swooped down towards the ground. They had huge fleshy wings, red manes on their backs, and powerful muscles that made them rush towards the artillery position like a cannonball.

Bloodthirsty Sky Demon, a powerful aerial unit of the vampire.

As soon as the spearmen and halberd soldiers stepped forward to block them, they were pierced through the body by their sharp claws and were pinned down.

The appearance of these monsters scared the artillerymen so much that they fled in all directions and dared not fire. The sky ghosts did not stop and went towards the unmanned artillery.

"Damn it, you useless bastards, you deserters! I'm going to kill you all after the war! Guards! Follow me!" Rudolf rushed forward with the Rune Fang.

But there was someone who moved faster than him. A pure black warhorse appeared in his sight with a flash of golden light. Gulman, who was riding the warhorse, stabbed the melta gun directly into the head of a sky ghost.

Along with the death of a Sky Ghost, countless lasers were fired at the remaining Sky Ghosts. It was still Zhang Heng. The darkness could not block his vision. He told Gulman the movements of these Sky Ghosts and ambushed the soldiers.

A team of about fifty people, all equipped with laser rifles and chainswords, was waiting for the arrival of these behemoths.

After all, the flesh and blood body cannot withstand the high-energy laser, and the sky demon who rushed towards the team desperately also faced the chain saw sword that could easily cut through its flesh and blood.

Rudolf was shocked that such a large number of monsters were eliminated by just this number of people. The fighting power of these soldiers was too terrifying.

"Lord Rudolf! We must take the initiative to attack. Holding on to our positions will only lead to our being consumed by these undead!"

Endless undead can withstand the impact of the demon army even at the ET level. This is no joke. When the ammunition and physical strength are exhausted, the right thing to do is to kill the general!

As the Undead army got closer to the position, high-level Undead began to appear, such as giant mutant tomb ghosts, bat-wolves that were a hybrid of wolf and bat, and those graveyard guards who marched in neat steps, obeyed orders, were fully equipped with armor and sharp blades, and were not afraid of death, and ferocious bats that attacked the ground from the sky. The whole team faced not only enemies in front of them, but also enemies in the sky.

Those hidden necromancers also used the wind of death magic to throw group spells at the army one after another, and continued to resurrect the undead.

And those vampires who claimed to be superior creatures and nobles watched all this with a smile in the rear.

"Leman Russ Chimera crews! Start the engines! Soldiers of Terra, followers of the Emperor! The Emperor protects us! Charge the Emperor's enemies!"

Gurman rode his warhorse past every soldier, and the nuns chanted prayers to boost the soldiers' morale. They put on bayonets and drew chain swords! Everyone's eyes were as sharp as torches!
Gulman and several cavalrymen around him who were also riding biochemical warhorses came directly to the front of the team.

"For the Emperor! For Mankind! Attack!"

As Gurman rushed out, heavy vehicles followed closely behind, and the soldiers also rushed out of the trenches together. Gurman decided to use the advantage of mobility to avoid getting into a tug-of-war.
