Warhammer in a box

Chapter 31 Where is the Ten Thousand Demon Rock?
A large number of humans were imprisoned in wooden cages. Several or even dozens of humans were crammed into one cage. These people pushed each other and struggled in fear in the cages. Just a rough count showed that there were more than a thousand people imprisoned here.

Imprisoned in the cage are not only humans, but also filthy and corrupt creatures. A chaos egg like a meat ball covered with tentacles and mutated limbs is roaring at humans. It is hungry, and the beastmen do not give it food at all. What they want is for it to rush towards the beastmen's enemies in the most hungry and cruel manner when it is released.

It seems that these beastmen have completely conquered at least several villages and even small towns.

Five minotaurs are constantly wandering around the Ten Thousand Demons Rock. Among these beastmen, a few are truly favored by the Chaos God and possess extraordinary fighting power, and among them there is an exceptionally strong minotaur.

It is Stoneheart, the Doomsday Bull under Malago. The beastmen with that name are not simple guys, and they even have wisdom that is not inferior to ordinary people.

Shi Xin's nose kept exhaling, as if he sensed something, and he knelt down on one knee in front of him.

As a shadow fell from the sky to the ground, Malagor, who was missing an arm, appeared in front of Stoneheart.

"My master, your arm is..." Stoneheart said to Malagor in the obscure language of the Beastmen.

"Hmph, it doesn't matter if I'm injured by the human Bayershadzer. With just one sacrifice, my arm can grow again." Although Malago said this, he didn't look so relaxed when he walked. The effect of the ultimate alchemy was slowly eroding his body.

It was not until he arrived at the Ten Thousand Demons Rock and used the chaotic magic power emanating from the Ten Thousand Demons Rock that he felt better.

"Shixin, how is the preparation of the sacrifice going?"

"My lord, everything is ready. These are all high-quality fresh flesh and blood, which will definitely be able to restore your body. Once you recover, the walls of Faldorf will no longer be an obstacle. Now that the troublesome human wizard has been lured out by us, humans will soon lose one of their electoral territories again!

Order will eventually be destroyed, and chaos will surely come!" Stoneheart said enthusiastically, and his words resonated with all the beastmen around him.

Civilization and order are the things that beasts cannot accept the most.

"My master, those low-level inferior horned beasts and horned beasts outside can't hold out for long. The wizard and his men have already rushed out of the city, and several groups of beasts have been almost killed. The gunpowder and magic in the hands of those humans are too troublesome." Shi Xin said worriedly.

"It's okay. There are plenty of beasts. As for the sacrifices, as long as there are more sacrifices, the Ten Thousand Demon Rock and the flesh and blood will attract all the nearby beasts to move closer here. The Orc Trail can allow them to reach here as quickly as possible. But Stone Heart, why are these sacrifices much less than expected?" Malago expected that there should be at least 3000 human captives here.

"Master, there seems to be an accident in the south."

"Accident? There are only a few towns and villages in the south. What kind of accident could there be?"

The whole plan was arranged by Malagor. He certainly knew the strength of the southern part of Thor Territory. As long as they did not take the initiative to attack the dwarves in the Black Mountains, the human soldiers in the towns in the south would not be many in total. How could they possibly stop his beasts?

"The harpies who escaped said they saw dwarves! And they saw steel monsters!"

"Iron monsters? Could they be reinforcements from other electors? Impossible. They are struggling to deal with those undead vampires. How could they have spare energy? Could they be dwarves?" Malago shook his head again. "Stoneheart, no matter what, we must defend this Ten Thousand Demons Rock!" Malago gave orders to Stoneheart.

"I will protect its owner with my life."
-
Ludwig cut off the head of another bighorn beast, and the soldiers slaughtered the cornered beastmen one by one.

This was the third human settlement that the Terran soldiers had rescued along the way. Thousands of Beastmen were killed in the battle, but the Terran troops suffered only about 50 casualties. This was all thanks to the Chimaera and Leman Russ's ability to break through the formation, as well as the decapitation ability of Ludwig, Marcus, Gurman, Bourne, and Belegar, the strongest fighter in the team.

Because of their faith in Zhang Heng, almost every soldier had the buff of never being defeated. As they continued to kill beastmen, the levels of all the soldiers inadvertently reached the level of third-level silver bars.

Ludwig and his companions all leveled up by two levels, reaching level 4. Zhang Heng consumed their skill points without hesitation.

Belegar was stunned when he saw the golden light shining all over the bodies of several people when they added points. These soldiers and generals in front of him were actually getting stronger visibly, and the degree of strengthening was not just a little bit. Is the blessing of God so cheap now?

Didn't he just kill a thousand beastmen? How many times has he been granted this gift?
According to the conventional routine, you have to kill a few beast kings. Ordinary beast kings are not enough, you have to kill one with a reputation as a Dangdang, right?
Belegar swallowed, this was even more shocking than seeing Chimaera and Leman Russ.

"My ancestors, I am beginning to want to believe in this God Emperor. I'm sorry, please forgive me."

Belegar didn't know how this idea suddenly popped up in his mind, but he knew that if his ancestors really knew about it, they would definitely deprive him of his position as clan leader. The ancestors of some clans might really be dead, but his ancestors here were really alive, and the spirits could still beat him up.

It’s a pity that there was a town and a village along the way that didn’t survive until their arrival. When Ludwig and others arrived, they were empty and there was no one in the town.

Only the dried bloodstains on the ground and the sword marks on the walls of the houses indicated that a bloody battle had taken place here not long ago, and these beastmen did not even leave behind any corpses.

"Gurman, this is the last settlement nearby. Unfortunately, these civilians still need to be escorted back. How many soldiers have we mobilized to escort the civilians now?" Ludwig asked.

"Two hundred people, right? Including the 50 who died, we still have people!"

"That should be enough. Marcus, has the Emperor given any new direction?" Ludwig looked at Marcus who was fiddling with the servoskull.

"No, the Divine Emperor helped us determine the direction. I can guarantee that we are on the right track!"

"Damn it, these bastards hid their lair so well?! Where are their trails and the Demon Rock!!" Ludwig said angrily.

"Wait a minute, sir! Are you talking about the beastmen's lair? I might know!" Suddenly, a man from the crowd being escorted away by the soldiers shouted to Ludwig.

"Who? Who is talking?! Soldiers, bring him out to see me!" The sudden voice from the crowd surprised Ludwig.
