Warhammer in a box

Chapter 398 External Reinforcements
The news of the great victory in the south soon spread to the entire Empire and Bretonnia. The Human Empire, which was originally gloomy because of the quagmire of war on the Kislev front, seemed to have received a shot of adrenaline.

The elimination of the huge threat from the south also allowed the empire's industrial capacity and manpower to be reinvested in the Kislev front.

The dominance of the Titans has been confirmed. Based on the Titans' performance on the previous battlefield, Zhang Heng once again found Valaya and asked him to give up another dwarf rune colossus.

The Rune Colossus is not only a powerful weapon of war, but also has other symbolic meanings for the dwarf race. After all, it is one of the few legacies left by Granni.

"Valaya, I know that the Rune Colossus is very important to you, but I have the ability to make it play a greater role. After we win this war, we will have the spare capacity to rescue your other two ancestors. When Granni returns, he can forge more Rune Colossi for the dwarves again, for this world of Valaya!"

The greater good and the conditions that could not be refused forced Valaya to agree to Zhang Heng's request. When Thorgrin heard Valaya's order, he could only reluctantly hand over the control of the Rune Colossus to Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng brought the Colossus back into the kingdom of God and began to build it day and night.

In the front-line command room, Ludwig and his team were working hard on the next plan. The results of the reconnaissance showed that the deep pit of hell was now guarded by multiple demons. No one knew whether more demons would come out of the cracks in the coming time.

If the great demon's powerful fighting force is backed by enough numbers, no one can guarantee whether the raid can proceed smoothly.

At this time, there are not many people in the Order camp who are capable of fighting against the Great Demon. The combat effectiveness of Zhang Heng with the Emperor's Sword is obvious to all, but based on past experience, once Zhang Heng takes action, the Four Gods will definitely take action to restrain him. In addition to Zhang Heng, the gods include Sigmar and Valaya. Both of them have combat effectiveness that matches their status as gods. Although Valaya does not hold the dwarf's war authority, the dwarf's craftsmen are also masters of combat.

Although Shaya Shaya is a god, it is hard to say how powerful she is in combat. If she is fighting against the great demon of Nurgle, it is okay, but for others...

Below the gods are Vokhan and Ferrus. The two can crush low-level demons, but the battle with the previous Xialashi Demon Disaster also showed that the high-level demons in this world still have the power to fight against the original body.

The Four Gods have quite a few high-level demons under their command.

Living saints such as Ludwig, Gurman, Rebecca and Sleimabo are also important fighting forces.

The fighting power of the mortals after that is not enough. The young wolf lord Ragnar can fight against a great demon, and several extreme warriors led by Rognar can restrain one, but among the fighting power of the medieval natives, only Wokmar and Laun have the confidence to defeat the average great demon.

Shi Lan's existence can only be regarded as an unexpected nuclear weapon. Once Shi Lan appears, it goes without saying that the big demons will attack them regardless of their lives. Shi Lan is powerful, but not immortal. They cannot have any accidents. If an accident happens, it will be equivalent to an accident in the whirlpool. Only when it is absolutely safe, Zhang Heng plans to send them into the battlefield.

Zhang Heng rushed to make the Titan in order to narrow the gap in high-end combat power.

At this time, Ludwig was also discussing with everyone how to deal with the upcoming war. A war of attrition or a tug-of-war is absolutely not advisable. Only by allowing the God-Emperor to lead the high-end combat force to directly resolve the Chaos Rift can there be a possibility of winning this war.

"If we can't crush our opponents in terms of high-end combat power, is there a chance that we can divert the large demon gate near the rift and reduce the difficulty of destroying the rift in disguise?"

"But what are you going to do?" Rebecca asked with a frown.

"First, we must advance on all fronts. Sometimes we may not be too concerned about sacrifice. We must use fierce attacks to force those big demons to move out of the range of the rift to stabilize the situation and give the demons the illusion that we are going to have a decisive battle."

Rebecca nodded after listening to Ludwig's words. "This is indeed a solution, but the number of casualties will be much higher than now. My battle sisters and priests can rush to the front to set an example for the soldiers and boost their morale. At that time, I will also do my best to activate the faith aura to stabilize the morale of the soldiers, so that they can still maintain their fighting enthusiasm despite the large number of casualties. But I think this is not enough. There are still unpredictable risks. The demons can come back countless times, but we only have one chance!"

Rebecca nodded, but raised her doubts.

"That's right. We need more power, the kind that can put pressure on the demons! The kind that can influence the direction of the war!"

"But who else can we find as reinforcements in such a short time? The High Elves have run out of strength. Even if the Lizardmen have a hatching pool, it will take some time. The Dwarves have already devoted all their efforts to this war." Rebecca thought again and again, and looked at all the forces near the empire but couldn't find a suitable candidate.

"Wait, maybe we can find a force to contact the wandering trader Otto of the Divine Emperor. I want to know where he is now!"

Ludwig immediately asked the priest to bring the communication equipment and contacted Otto.

The sound coming from the communicator was intermittent. At this time, Otto was leading his team along the Longfang Road among the mountains. This could almost be said to be the only road leading to Zhendan.

Along the way, Otto also met several caravans from Cathay and told them about the battles taking place in the empire at the time and asked them to be careful.

The merchants of Zhendan have already known about the existence of the city of Terra. Many merchants of Zhendan arrived in the empire after the existence of Terra and brought back countless high-quality and low-priced goods after the Industrial Revolution from the empire. As long as the caravans returned safely, they could almost be said to have made a fortune. This also prompted more and more caravans from Zhendan to go to the empire.

When the merchants learned that the Jaeger Chamber of Commerce was the official chamber of commerce of Terra, they immediately became enthusiastic.

At this time, Otto was accompanied by a businessman from Zhendan.
"Otto, you said that the Empire is at war with Chaos?" said the businessman named He Zhen.

The merchants of Zhendan were not unfamiliar to Chaos, they were just called by different names. The Changyuan built by Zhendan was created to resist the invasion of Chaos outside Changyuan.

"That's right, Brother He Zhen, this battle is more brutal than you imagined. It's not suitable for you to do business now."

While the two were talking, Otto also heard Ludwig's voice on the communicator.

But after listening to Ludwig's request, Otto also frowned.

"Brother Otto, can this thing of yours communicate remotely? How much gold coins are there? I want to buy it! But I see you are frowning. Are you facing any difficulties? Tell me about it. Maybe I can help you."

"My country needs more power, but I'm not familiar with the ogres here. I don't know how to contact them."

"Ogres? Do you want to hire these ogres to fight? I can do that. Our caravan has traveled to the Ogre Kingdom countless times and often hires ogres as bodyguards. If you want, I can introduce you to a leader of the Ogre tribe!"

"Really! That's great!"
