Warhammer in a box

Chapter 197 Broken City
The ogres knew no fear, and the humans of Akendorf fought to the last moment to stay alive.

"Skragg, that's enough!"

The loud voice drowned out the sound of fighting on the battlefield. Durant didn't know whose voice could be so loud, and Bourne's voice was emitted through the sound array specially equipped on the armor on his body.

But when he looked in the direction of the sound, he saw that the men who were originally shooting arrows on the city wall had all been subdued, and some soldiers he had never seen before appeared on the city wall, holding weapons like muskets in their hands and pointing them at them.

"Human?" Durant was delighted, but then he was despaired.

At Bourne's command, the ogres actually stopped.

Durant realized that the mastermind behind this was actually the young man in front of him!
"Skarrag! I don't want to stop! Many of my warriors died! Humans are going to die too!"

Obviously, Skarragh had lost his mind in the fighting, and he was unwilling to stop now.

"I'm your employer! Do you still want your compensation? Skarragh, this is what we agreed on!"

After hearing about the reward, Skarrag seemed to have regained some sanity from his frenzy. After all, the human in front of him was the one who could feed these hungry creatures. Thinking of those high-calorie foods in his mind, Skarrag stopped reluctantly.

Seeing Skarragh slowly walking out of the human army, Bourne looked at Durant on the side.

"Are you Lord Durant, the ruler here?"

"That's right. Who are you! Why did you attack us!" Durant said bravely.

"Because your land is full of sin and chaos, rather than letting you become a hotbed of chaos, let us give you, the guilty, a chance to atone for your sins. I officially declare that you, your city, and your people now belong to the Holy Terra!"

"Terra?! You are from Terra?! Are you from the Empire?" Durant was shocked when he heard the word Terra. The City of Dreams, the City of Faith, the Perfect City, the City Protected by the God-Emperor, all kinds of adjectives of praise had long been spread throughout the Old World through the mouths of caravans or adventurers.

Durant was originally very disdainful. Is there such a place in the world? The Empire? It's not like he hasn't been there before.

But now he has truly witnessed how powerful Terra is.

"Why! The Empire recognizes the rule of our Border Prince's Territory. Does your Empire want to reoccupy this place?" Durant certainly didn't know Terra's current status in the Empire. In his understanding, Terra was still just a Earldom. All this was instructed by the Empire.

"Durant, you have no choice now. You can only submit to Terra. I won't let you do anything to seek your own death. As long as you believe in the God-Emperor and fight against Chaos, you may be able to obtain something you never dared to imagine before!"

Durant was reluctant in his heart, but he knew he had no choice now. With the gun pointed at his head, he finally chose to live.

"Durant, tell me your choice. If you don't want it, I can change someone else to be the lord."

"I...I am willing..."

"Very good, let all soldiers lay down their weapons!"

"Brother Ferrell, let's have our people collect the weapons. How about what I just learned?"

"Haha, very good, you already feel like a big shot. It seems that you have learned a lot from Lord Ludwig!"

Ferrell patted him on the shoulder.

"Phew~ That's good! And Brother Ferrer, have the priests prepared the food with added ingredients?"

"Don't worry! Look!"

Ferrer pointed to the city wall, and two red-robed priests nodded to him.

Night fell again, and the residents of Akendorf were destined to have a bad sleep. Civilians were confined to their homes and were not allowed to go out, and the soldiers were put under centralized guard after disarming. Some of the young soldiers who were unwilling to accept the situation and wanted to launch a sneak attack on Terra took the opportunity to escape.

The result was one death and one serious injury, and they also witnessed the horror of the laser rifle.

The sound of ogres feasting on their food could be heard from the city.

The huge chewing, cheering and swallowing sounds seemed to turn the entire Achendorf into a restaurant for ogres.

The aroma of food wafted through the city of Achendorf, making the soldiers, who had been guarded for a whole day without food, swallow their saliva continuously.

"Lord Durant, they haven't given us food for a day. They don't want to starve us to death... And it's such a waste. Look at what they feed those ogres. There's even fresh meat! How rich is Terra..."

"I told you to read more books! If you don't listen, I won't give us food. Are you going to feed the prisoners? Are you waiting for them to rebel? Don't worry, these people won't starve us to death. I can see that they really want to occupy this place, and there is no point in occupying a city without any people."

The companions around him fell into a deep sleep due to the morning battle and hunger. Only Durant looked at the Terra soldiers and ogres thoughtfully, but the next second, something unexpected happened.

The ogres who were originally celebrating began to fall to the ground one after another.

As if they were drunk, they fell straight down, and only Skarragh held on for a while longer.

But when he realized that it was not a second.

"Humans! What you give us to eat is..." Before he could finish his words, a powerful ogre lord fell to the ground.

The priests used nerve anesthetics to kill the ogre without considering the side effects, but even so, the ogre still held on longer than expected.

Then Durant saw a movie that he would probably never forget.

Accompanied by Terran soldiers, two terrifying beings with unknown tentacles on their backs and red light in their eyes came to the sides of one ogre after another.

They took over one thing after another from the soldiers that he didn't understand, but while Durant was still wondering what they were going to do.

The servo skull on the priest's body flashed a red light across the ogre, and then a spike extended from the mechanical creature in the priest's hand.

Then the priest thrust it into the ogre's head without hesitation.

"Praise Om Messiah."

The priest said with satisfaction as he watched the instrument start to work.

Then, one by one, an object was implanted in the head of each ogre.

"Respected Father, should we try to transfer them to another place for surgery?"

"No, they are too heavy. Just leave it here. This species has strong vitality. We don't need to worry too much about the environment and precision of the operation. Simple control can be completed quickly. Just remove part of the brain and nerves."

After saying that, the mechanical arms behind the two priests actually started to perform a craniotomy on the ogre.

Durant covered his mouth in fear.

"Oh my God... Oh my God... They are not going to do this to us too..."
