Chapter 213 Heavy Artillery Suppression
Bourne, Rebecca and Millia stood on the top of the city wall. They looked into the distance and could even see bursts of black smoke. That was the black smoke produced by people who had not had time to evacuate, or the abandoned city that was completely burned down by the Skaven.

"These aliens will be here soon."

"Let them come. The Emperor's loyal warriors are ready. It's time for the world to know the Emperor's power." Rebecca said firmly.

She slammed the ground heavily with the scepter in her hand, and a golden holy halo unfolded from under her feet. Rebecca's ability at this time was no longer the same as before. Zhang Heng gave her skills, but these skills could be separated from the panel. With the increase in the number of believers and the piety of the user, it has a strong growth potential.

The huge aura of faith enveloped almost everyone nearby.

The nearly 100,000 refugees of the Border Prince in Batovan also felt the devout faith of these Terra people.

The original fear and trepidation were swept away, and he was even influenced by the soldiers around him, as if he began to look forward to the upcoming battle.

The priests began to light holy incense to awaken the machine spirits, and the nuns began to pray for the soldiers around them.

The holy incense echoed throughout the wasteland.

In the distant rat army, the rat general Pascret also heard the prayers in the distance.

"These human things didn't even choose to escape?"

"Yes, yes, General, this is perfect! These weak humans will soon realize how powerful the ratmen are. We can wipe them out completely. The land will belong to us!!"

The rat warlords on the side chattered that the previous battle was too smooth. They had always been afraid of Terra's weapons, but in the previous battle with Terra, they still defeated them.

Terra and the Skaven, both forces want to bring their own strength to this world, and also want to demonstrate their own power.

"Where are the assassins of Clan Esin? Is there any news about them?" Pascret asked the leader of Clan Esin this time.

"Not yet, but no one can escape the assassination of Clan Eshin, don't worry."

The pride of these Clan Eshin is not without reason. As long as Clan Eshin is determined to kill someone, it seems that no one can escape. He also does not think that Bourne's poor performance when he encountered a ratman last time can help him escape the assassination of four Eshin assassins.

"Very good, I trust you, launch the attack from underground first!" Pascret ordered.

Just like the underground threat skill of the ratmen's army in the game, these rats who are good at living underground will always attack the opponent's most threatening long-range troops from underground. When the enemy is completely confused, they will then march forward to give the opponent the final blow.

But this time they obviously chose the wrong opponent.

The slave rats used their tools to dig out Mars and finally reached the rear of the Terra army.

The Stormrat supervising the battle threatened all the slave rats and clan rats in front of him.

"Rush out of the ground later and find those human artillery. Only by killing these big guys can you come back alive! Otherwise, you will all become food!"

The slave rats nodded tremblingly in agreement, but who knew that on the ground, the priests from the Mechanicus were pointing an instrument at the ground.

"Sir, these aliens are already under our feet." The priest looked at the screen of the instrument in his hand. Signals were constantly coming from directly below the screen. Those were the signals that detected the ratmen's digging. Ever since the Battle of Noon and the constant conflicts with the ratmen underground in Terra, these priests had begun to manufacture instruments that could detect underground movements.

To be honest, these instruments are not difficult to make, and as long as the approximate range is known, these equipment were soon equipped in the team.

The officers in the team nodded.

"Flamethrower Team! Get over here!"

Three soldiers carrying flamethrowers came here.

These ratmen didn't know their fate yet. When they dug through the ground and screamed in search of their target, they only saw a black hole in the muzzle of a gun, which was then instantly enveloped by blazing flames. "Push forward! Aim at the hole and spray! Roast the rats!"

The screams of the ratmen might be heavenly music to today's soldiers, and this scene was played out everywhere on the battlefield.

"Artillerymen! Show those ratmen some color! Give them some gifts!"

The earth-shaking cannon at the rear has also been loaded.

This is another scene that completely surpasses the rat people’s cognition.

The battles between the ratmen, dwarves and humans have lasted for countless years, so they are very familiar with the original artillery ranges of the dwarves and humans. According to the values ​​in the game, the longest artillery range of humans and dwarves is only about 500.

But these primitive artillery pieces are far inferior to the Mechanicus's earth-shaking cannons.

The range of the Earthshaker Cannon is at least 3000, which is several times greater than the range, causing these rats to misjudge their own positions.

"Bang, bang, bang."

Twenty earth-shaking cannons roared at the same time, firing shells engraved with the sacred double-headed eagle at the ratmen's heads.

In the Ratman army, they heard the sound of artillery in the distance.

"General, it seems the slave rats have succeeded. The sound is probably the sound of human artillery exploding."

But the next second, a sound of breaking air was heard above their heads.

The huge explosion directly blew hundreds of slave rats into pieces, and the mushroom cloud rising from the ground told these rat people that they were overthinking.

"Impossible! For the love of the Great Horned Rat, there is no way these human artillery can reach so far."

A series of explosions directly destroyed the morale of several teams of slave rats and clan rats.

In order to stabilize the morale, Pascret said loudly: "Don't worry! No matter what, the shells of these humans are inaccurate! Only a few slave rats died! What are you afraid of! Attack! Attack! For the Horned Rat!"

A charge often starts with an artillery bombardment. Zhang Heng is very familiar with this scene. In the game, sometimes they wait for the opponent to charge but they don't, and have to attack after being hit by two artillery shells.

However, there is one thing that these rats thought was right. Due to the lack of target indication, the accuracy of the earth-shaking cannons is indeed not very good. But so what? I have plenty of shells. If I am poor, I can strike accurately. If I am rich, I can provide firepower coverage.

The terrifying number of ratmen meant that the shells of the earth-shaking cannon would almost never miss.

Shell after shell was loaded into the gun barrel.

The ratmen suffered heavy losses as they charged, and broken limbs were everywhere along the way.

Pascreet kept swishing his tail and hitting the ground.

What's going on? The Ratmen have always used technology to suppress their opponents, but now they are being suppressed by their opponents.

"Skry Clan! Where are your trebuchets and lightning cannons? Fire back!!"

The ratmen engineers complained that they could do nothing at such a distance, but the engineers who were madly anxious tried to throw poison bombs into the distance.

But at such a distance, there is really nothing to say about the accuracy.
