Chapter 278: Dispersed Power, Facing Alone

Gotrek's fighting power does not require training or tempering. It is growing every day. As long as he is given enough time, he will grow to the level of a god sooner or later.

Even though he was besieged by a large number of enemies, he continued to advance, with the corpses of Nurgle soldiers lying all around him.

Chop melons and vegetables with one axe.

"Master Felix, the gas mask can no longer hold up!"

The soldier who came along reminded anxiously.

The plague of Nurgle has been eroding the gas mask. The viruses and poisonous gases are even corroding the mask. The large amount of viruses accumulated means that the filter element of the gas mask can only last for a dozen minutes.

"What! So fast!"

They were too few! Facing an enemy that far outnumbered them, destroying the Chaos Rift suddenly became an impossible task.

"Gortrek! Come back quickly! We can withdraw first! The reinforcements are on the way! We can wait for the main force to arrive before we deal with the rift!"

The soldiers around him fell one after another, and Felix knew that the power at hand was simply not enough to break through the obstruction of the Nurgle demons.

The obviously most powerful Chosen of Nurgle was still standing on his flagship, with countless huge tentacles from the corrupted Kraken dancing behind him. These were the biggest obstacles.

"If you want to retreat, then retreat! I will never retreat! I haven't killed enough people yet!!!"

Listening to Gotrek's words, Felix knew that he could not persuade this upright friend, but it was against his morals to sacrifice the lives of those around him for his friend.

Just as Felix was struggling with the inner struggle, the support of the Cursed Big Heads finally arrived.

These divine emperors' demonic armies began to appear before the world.

Looking at this group of strange guys, Felix's first reaction was that these were spirits summoned by the undead, but the other party shouted for the God-Emperor, which made him realize that these were actually their reinforcements.

With the addition of this group of fresh troops who are not afraid of death, have amazing killing power, and most importantly, come in considerable numbers, the battle line began to advance again.

"Gotrek! We're coming!!"

Gotreit, who was still standing on his flagship and smiling as the fatherly army slowly overwhelmed the enemy, was no longer calm.

The power emanating from each of these spirits in front of him made him feel uncomfortable. He heard it. He heard the kind father in the garden giving him orders to immediately eliminate these enemies who suddenly joined the battlefield.

Having received the oracle from his loving father, he no longer sat on the high platform, but jumped down from the bow of his ship and joined the battlefield.

The huge rudder in his hand flew, smashing the Nurgle demons and soldiers who were fighting with the Cursed Head into pieces.

The Cursed Big Head is immortal but can also be exiled like a demon.

The extra octopus tentacles on its body carried a poisonous plague and wrapped around a cursed big head. Under the corrosion of the plague, the cursed big head also returned to Zhang Heng's kingdom of God.

There are too many, really too many. The number of cursed big heads under Zhang Heng’s command is still not enough. As long as the rift opens for one second, the demon army will be endless.

Not to mention that the most terrifying corrupted Kraken was protecting the Chaos Rift. In order to quickly resolve the Chaos Rift, Zhang Heng directly pulled Ludwig out of Terra again. As an E-level demon, Ludwig ran directly to the Chaos Rift the moment he appeared.

With all the buffs activated, Ludwig smashed into the Nurgle warship like a fireball.

However, the corrupted Kraken stretched out countless tentacles from the bottom of the sea and slapped Ludwig.

Each tentacle was filled with various plagues, and brought with it a poisonous mist that forced Ludwig to keep dodging in the air.

The black sword slashed, and the holy flame burned the deformed tentacles, but the Kraken was too big. Although it was painful, it would not affect its next move. At least it would have no problem holding Ludwig back.

Ludwig frowned. This was the toughest enemy he had ever encountered.

Zhang Heng was so anxious watching that, his own E Great Demon suffered a setback for the first time. The Kraken, which was originally the overlord of the ocean, contained a huge amount of Nurgle's power after being corrupted. In other words, the Kraken was much more powerful than his master brother Treit.

Zhang Heng underestimated the power of these Cursed Big Heads. Opponents from other races in the Middle Ages were still okay, but this time his opponents were also a group of guys who could produce unlimited troops. Obviously, the dominance of the Cursed Big Heads did not have the decisive effect like the Cursed Legion in 40k.

At this time, Terra was developing too powerful. To be more insane, the death rate of the fanatics was too low, so the number of souls that successfully reached his kingdom was obviously not enough. Zhang Heng wanted to increase his troops, but not enough of his believers died.

The moment the battle of Marienburg began, Terra's Military Affairs Department had received the news.

Altdorf, the closest city to Marienburg, has assembled a considerable number of troops, including soldiers from Terra and the native soldiers of the Medieval Empire. The army is marching towards Marienburg as quickly as possible, but marching is not instant teleportation. The distance that can be covered in two rounds of forced march in the game will take at least several days in a purely mechanized manner.

But the attacks they encountered at this time were not limited to these. Middenheim where Ragnar was located certainly wanted to send out troops, but emergency news also came from Hawke's territory. The leech lord Festus was also gathering a Nurgle army to wantonly destroy Hawke's territory.

As a powerful Chaos Champion, Hawke Territory was almost on the verge of collapse. The plague in the plot had contaminated the water and food sources, and Hawke Territory alone could not hold out for more than a day or two.

Terra's army was marching in large numbers towards Rick County by train, but at this time, on the outskirts of Altdorf, Carl and Terra's officers were having a very fierce conflict.

"Your Majesty Karl, the situation in Marienburg is even more dangerous right now. There are several Chaos rifts there. If they are not closed immediately, the subsequent damage will be very terrifying." Gerhardt said seriously. After all, in 40k, the subspace gate is definitely the first-order threat.

If we let this state go wrong, it could be an entire planet.

However, the generals and officials of the Medieval Empire urged Carl to rescue Hawke first.

Although everyone wanted to recapture Marienburg, at least in name Marienburg was independent, while Hawke's Territory was one of the electoral territories of the empire. It was neither legal nor logical to give up aiding Hawke's Territory and go to aid Marienburg.

Carl was in a dilemma when he saw the arguing people. After hesitating for a long time, he rejected Gerhardt's proposal and chose to lead the imperial army to support Hawke. If he watched Hawke fall, the other elector territories would question him and feel disheartened.

Moreover, Marienburg has the support of Terra's army. In Carl's mind, Terra is strong enough to prevent the crisis of Marienburg.

Great Sigmar agreed with Terra's mission, but Karl was still the emperor of the empire, and the empire was composed of all the elector lords, and Karl had his own responsibilities.

Gerhardt saw that Carl had made up his mind and angrily scolded him: "Foolish native emperor, you don't know the importance and trade-offs. You will regret your decision. The gains and losses of a territory are nothing. The ultimate goal is to eliminate Chaos."

After saying this, Gerhardt led Aldorf and all the remaining forces that could be gathered near Rick County towards Marienburg.

The Thunderhawk carrying five Ultramarines and a company of mortal soldiers flew to Marienburg in advance. This was the fastest strike force Terra could gather at this time.
