Warhammer in a box

Chapter 27 Take the initiative
Over the next two days, every night the beastmen would occasionally rush out of the jungle and try to attack the walls of Terra, but they were all warned in advance by Zhang Heng, who had a God's perspective.

As more and more corpses appeared in front of the city wall, the dead beastmen's bodies were constantly bleeding, attracting more filthy things to the outside of Terra, and the strength of the beastman troops began to increase significantly.

Originally, they were just some of the lowest-level beastmen, the inferior horned beasts armed with wooden shields and spears. However, with the arrival of the latest wave of attacks by the beastmen, a large number of horned beasts have begun to appear among them, and there are even dozens of harpies trying to attack from the sky under the cover of night. These monsters with human bodies and faces, but bird claws and wings, swooped down from the sky with shrill female-like screams.

Fortunately, thanks to Zhang Heng's reminder, no casualties were caused.

However, the continuous attacks have caused panic among the people in Terra. An order has been issued that no one is allowed to go out of the city. The most uneasy are the refugees who were brought in later. The coming of war makes them worry that they will be dragged onto the battlefield as cannon fodder again.

"Ludwig, where is the God-Emperor you are talking about! Didn't he tell you how to solve this problem?" Belegar was very angry at this moment. He originally just wanted to come and see his long-term meal ticket, but who would have thought that he would be trapped here. Now he just felt very aggrieved.

"Belegar! Even though you are our dwarf friend, I will not allow you to offend our gods! The great Emperor will tell us what to do!"

"Okay, okay!" Belegar knew that what he said was a bit too much, so he could only take his sledgehammer to the top of the city wall to see if there were any blind beastmen who could vent his anger for him.

Watching Belegar leave, Ludwig also looked at Marcus.

"Marcus, didn't the Emperor give you any orders?"

"Ludwig, be patient. You can't imagine the power of the Emperor. He didn't tell you what to do next because the time has not come yet. Be patient!" Marcus was very calm. After all, the enemy before him had not reached the point where it could not be solved.

But what Marcus didn't know was that who said Zhang Heng wasn't anxious? He was anxious. From his God's perspective, he had already seen more and more beastmen in the forest.

There are not only Terra and Faldorf in Sol Territory, there are more human villages and towns scattered along the road network of Sol Territory, and these villages and towns are the most important attack targets of the beastmen, and living humans are their best sacrifices.

The defenses of the villages and towns could not withstand a large-scale attack by beasts; this attack was too sudden.

"To sit and wait is to die! We must take the initiative!"

Zhang Heng made the decision almost instantly. It was impossible for him to wait for the Beastmen to become powerful. Faldorf had an entire mage academy and a capital city ruled by Metal-Faced Bayershazer.

As the mentor of the Empire's Supreme Mage, Bayershazer is a character who truly cares about the future of the human empire. It is impossible for him not to know the threat of allowing the beastmen to grow stronger, nor is it possible for him to completely ignore the lives of civilians. The only possibility is that he has been temporarily entangled by some tricky guy!

Since Bayershazer can't save people for the time being, let him do it!
At the same time, both Ludwig and Marcus received orders from Zhang Heng.

"Ludwig, Marcus, I have a mission for you!"

After hearing Zhang Heng's voice, the two men immediately knelt on one knee and prepared to listen to Zhang Heng's orders.

"My Emperor, what do you want me to do?"

"The minions of Chaos are once again trying to destroy us, but we cannot sit still and wait for death. The filthy aliens are extending their butcher knives to our compatriots, and even sacrifice their flesh and souls to the evil gods. This cannot be allowed! Fight in my name, in the name of mankind! Take the initiative to attack, kill all the aliens within sight, and wipe out the evil!"

Zhang Heng's voice was like a heavy hammer striking the hearts of the two.

"I will destroy all enemies of humanity for you!!"

As Ludwig and Marcus stood up, they shouted to the soldiers at the same time.

"Assemble! Soldiers assemble! In the name of the God-Emperor, in the name of humanity, prepare for battle!" As the two people's voices spread throughout the city of Terra, a scene that the people who joined later could not understand appeared.

The soldiers who heard the order were all very excited. They put on their armor, took up their weapons, and quickly gathered at the city gate.

"Dad, why are they so excited when they hear that a war is going to break out? In the past, the noble lords and their guards in this town didn't even have time to hide when they heard that a war was going to break out." A child who looked less than ten years old was speaking in his father's arms.

The good food and drink during this period made the originally malnourished child's face gradually become rosy.

"Dad doesn't know either, but they seem to be trying to protect us."

"Protect us? It feels so good to be protected!" The child laughed.

At this time, the people in the city who believed in Zhang Heng the most understood this scene. After all, in their prayers, Zhang Heng, or the emperor as they called him, was likened to the guide and savior of human civilization.

And two thousand soldiers soon gathered in front of the city gate.

300 soldiers and 1000 new recruits who had never experienced war were responsible for guarding Terra.

Because there is no need to worry about food, all adult males can leave their jobs and join the battle sequence.

The remaining 1700 veterans will take the initiative to go out to nearby villages and towns to rescue humans.

The most important thing is to dispel the fog of war so that Zhang Heng can find the existence of Wanmo Rock.

The Chimaera transport carried Marcus and five other Cadian soldiers, while Ferrell and three other soldiers were left behind to defend Terra, and the Leman Russ tank also roared and served as the spearhead of the entire team.

Ludwig, Bern, and Gurman all joined the action at this time.

As the sun gradually rose, the troops, ready to go, walked out of the city gate together.

"Hey, hey, hey! Wait for me! I want to go too!" Belegar and his Hammer Guards ran towards Ludwig at their fastest pace.

"Belegar, why are you here? We said that you don't need to participate in our war." Ludwig said to Belegar.

"No! I want to go too! I will suffocate if I stay here any longer! Besides, your enemies are beastmen. This is not your war. Dwarves and humans have a covenant. We need to face foreign enemies together. And I can't wait to smash these guys' heads. Don't worry, I volunteer. You don't have to worry about my safety. I am one of the strongest dwarves! Then I will let you see how powerful dwarves are!"

"Thank you, Belegar. The city of Terra and all human beings will remember you!" Ludwig said sincerely.

"You humans are so disgusting! Hurry up! Let's go, but you have to let me take a look at the machine called Leman Russ!"

"Hahaha, no problem!"

A team of thousands of people marched towards the nearest human gathering point, and the beastmen became less active than at night because of the setting of the evil moon.
