Warhammer in a box

Chapter 59: Norscan Champion

Sure enough, the moment the Imperial cavalry began to charge, the Norsemen realized that their butts had been stolen.

But Sesmond was about to be taken. These barbarians who had been affected by the power of Khorne had no intention of retreating. The barbarians close to Sesmond were still desperately climbing up the city wall.

"Reinforcements from the Empire are coming! Brave Nords! Hold back these barbarians! Don't let them come back to reinforce!"

When Sesmond saw the arrival of reinforcements, his soldiers were greatly encouraged, and the city defense army, which had been in a slump, immediately launched a counterattack!

But the barbarians in the rear are not going to sit and wait for death.

After a brief period of chaos, the raider riders and raider chariots that were not suitable for siege operations and had been waiting in the rear launched a counterattack against the Imperial cavalry.

They shouted obscure prayers to the four gods and the unknown evil god.

The raider riders armed with flying axes threw them at the Imperials, but the knights from each order were not only wearing heavy armor themselves, but even their horses were wearing full sets of armor. Faced with the incoming flying axes, many of them chose to resist them head-on or even directly knock them away with swords.

A round of flying axes had almost no effect on the charging team.

Instead, a large number of plunderer riders were knocked off their horses by the pistol cavalry from the Ivy Territory. When the two cavalry units came into contact, they truly realized the gap between the two sides. This was not only the gap in the riders, but also the gap in the horses.

In just one battle, dozens of raider riders were killed on the spot, and even their horses turned into corpses.

The only thing that poses a threat is the Norse chariot.

"Left! Be careful of the Norse chariots! Shoot them down with the pistol cavalry!" Lele shouted.

However, due to the bumpy horseback and the fender in front of the chariot, the pistol cavalry's volley of fire failed to kill the two riders of the chariot.

It seemed that the chariot was about to crash into the charging formation.

Three beeps sounded, and everyone saw a flash of red light before their eyes. The Norse chariot riders and the horses pulling the chariots were hit by a laser at the same time.

The huge inertia directly overturned the chariot.

"Well done!!" Lele shouted excitedly and turned to look at Ludwig and others.

As expected, Ferrell and the other two Cadian soldiers took action. The laser rifles in their hands accurately hit the Norscan chariot, and then began to kill other high-value infantry targets.
"Keep rushing! Don't stop!"

After defeating the enemy's cavalry, the team finally approached the Norse infantry phalanx.

The cavalry unit led by Lele was targeting the center of the Norse army, where a large number of infantry and several Norse frost trolls gathered. Lele's team was composed of Reik's Guards, half-griffin halberds, and pistol cavalry from Iverland. Iverland was also a staunch supporter of Karl Franz, so their reinforcements also chose to follow Lele.

The Bull Knights of Ostland chose to attack the Norsemen under the city of Sesmond. Apparently, as they were next to Nordland, they would rather help their neighbors directly to reduce casualties.

Finally, it was the White Wolf Knights from Midden. They headed straight for the Soul Reaper's location. Kaina was famous for his hot temper, and he picked the most capable fighter right away.

Only the border riders of Marienburg fell to the back of the team, as if trying to escape from the battle.

From time to time, grenades were fired at the Norscan crowd.

"For the Empire, for Sigma~"

The Reik's Guards charged into the Norscan army. The seemingly solid line was vulnerable to the Reik's Guards' ability to break the formation. The shields in the knights' hands and the heavy armor on their horses directly broke the spears in the hands of these raiders.

The half-griffin knights relied on the powerful physical strength of the griffins under their mounts to directly knock away the plunderers in the front row. Although they had the fewest people, their combat power seemed to be the strongest.

Not only can knights kill enemies, but the griffin's claws and sharp beak can also cause fatal damage to the enemy.

The two frost trolls who tried to stop them had been pierced by halberds, and filthy blood was constantly flowing out. They fell to the ground and could not get up.

The anti-large-scale characteristics of the halberd are clearly visible at this time.

The pistol cavalrymen of Ivy did not rush forward rashly. Instead, they wandered around the outside of the battlefield and continued to consume the enemy with their muskets.

Ludwig and his men could only use laser rifles to shoot at the enemy on horseback, as they were not very good at fighting on horseback.

But soon Lele discovered a serious problem: after the troops were divided, there were too few people!
Although they had already penetrated three phalanxes of the Norsemen, there were still several more phalanxes waiting for them. The charge bonus brought by the charge distance of hundreds of meters was not enough. If they continued to go deeper, they would all be trapped inside.

Even with so many people around him, he could hardly see what was going on around him.

The Soul Reapers can only look to the White Wolf Knights.

"No more charging! Change direction! Charge towards Sesmond!"

They have already achieved enough results. It was not their goal to annihilate the enemy completely. This task had to be handed over to the infantry units behind them. They had already done their job of sharing the pressure with Sesmond.

But it is easier said than done, and the Norsemen are not the kind of people who will suffer losses.

Zhang Heng, who had a God's perspective, was still keeping an eye on the battlefield. Even now, the power of faith consumed by directly interfering in the battlefield made him feel painful, so he had not taken any action.

Just as Lele was about to lead his team to leave the battlefield, he discovered a different group of Norsemen.

The five Norscans were as tall as trolls, and the long-handled axes in their hands, which were almost as tall as themselves, exuded a heart-pounding chill.

The armor they wore was no longer simple iron sheets, but plate armor that covered almost the entire body.

"Norsecan champion warrior?"

Zhang Heng immediately found the corresponding Norse unit in the game.

These Norsemen won victory after victory in endless battles and successfully attracted the attention of the evil god.

The power of chaos made his body grow taller and also gained him strength far beyond that of ordinary mortals.

The weapons in their hands and even the armor on their bodies were also gifts from Chaos. The Norsemen's manufacturing capabilities were simply unable to produce such equipment. It was rumored that these armors grew directly on their bodies like flesh and blood. Throughout their lives, these Norse champions would never have the chance to take off these armors.

They just fight, fight, and fight until they die.

And several Norse champions happened to be on the path of Ludwig and others' charge.

"Ludwig! There are several Norse champions in the direction you are charging! Be careful!" Zhang Heng immediately issued a warning.

Ludwig and the others also became nervous after hearing Zhang Heng's reminder.

"Lehrer! Lehrer! Listen to me!!!" Ludwig tried to shout to Lehrer who was in the front.

But the sound of the battle meant that Lele could only vaguely hear Ludwig's shouts.

"Lele! There's a Norse champion ahead! Be careful!"

Ludwig kept shouting.

"Huh? The Champion of Norsca? How did you know?" Lele, who finally heard Ludwig's voice, thought puzzledly. Even he, who was at the front, was not noticed in the crowd, so how did Ludwig behind him know about it.

But soon, Lehrer realized that Ludwig had not lied to him.

When he rode his warhorse and knocked away two Norscans who tried to stop him, these champion warriors actually stood up from the crowd! They half-knelt and hid in the crowd, waiting to deliver their fatal blow.

"Weak Imperials! Die!!!"

Looking at the huge axe coming towards his head, Lele quickly tightened the reins. Although he avoided the fatal blow, his horse was in trouble again.

The giant axe chopped off the horse's head directly, and Lele fell into the crowd of plunderers.

Several other Reiksguard were not so lucky.

Some were beheaded, and others were knocked off their horses.

The team's original momentum of charging was slowed down.
