Warhammer 40 A New Hope

thump!

With a sound that was almost inaudible to me in the noisy battlefield, the ratman gray prophet who was swinging with the bell suddenly lost his head and fell to the ground.

"!"

The sudden change startled the nearby rats, who then began to panic and look for enemies who might have killed the Grey Prophet.

"I hate these rats." At this moment, an Astra Militarum soldier was hiding in a tower, watching the rats that were in chaos because of the killing of the Grey Prophet. "It's so damn smelly!"

The large-caliber sniper rifle in his hand moved slowly, looking at the ratman warlord who was also in chaos and hiding behind many storm rats, and slowly aimed the crosshairs at him.

"Die! Alien!"

Biu!

A projectile was fired and flew towards the position of the Skaven Warlord. After penetrating the armor and body of a Stormrat that was blocking the Skaven Warlord, it hit the target directly.

But he did not die. The bullet broke one of his arms, but the rat warlord survived.

"Damn it!"

The Astra Militarum who had failed took a breath and immediately pointed the sniper rifle at the ratman warlord.

A large number of [Storm Rats] stood in front of their rat warlords at this time, and at the same time tried their best to hide behind their shields, while another group of ratmen struggled to lift the warlords in their hands back to the pit they had dug not far away.

Biu!

Another bullet was fired, but it only killed a few [Storm Rats]. The ratmen carrying the warlord had already carried their leader to the cave entrance.

Biu!

The bullet pierced through the shield and armor of a Storm Rat, passed through his body, and broke the leg of a ratman who was carrying the warlord.

The warlord, who lost the man who carried him, fell directly to the ground. Fortunately, his subordinates were still loyal and did not run away directly. Instead, they rolled their warlord leader into the pit.

"TMD!"

Looking at the target person who had entered the pit and lost his trace, the Astra Militarum sniper cursed and then turned on his communicator.

"This is the sniper point at the north gate. The enemy's psychic leader unit has been killed. The local leader unit was injured but managed to escape."

[Received, your mission has been completed, keep observing]

[The target that ran away will be dealt with by someone else]

"Will there be anyone?"

After hearing the reply from the command center, the sniper put the sniper rifle aside and picked up the telescope from the ground.

"With so many big rats, who has the ability to catch that guy back..."

Halfway through his words, he suddenly discovered that the air near the cave entrance seemed to be distorted.

Then, he switched the telescope in his hand to infrared observation mode, and several slender humanoid figures with body temperatures significantly lower than normal people appeared in the telescope.

"Is that the Lizardmen's... Chameleon Squad?"

In his vision, those rats used their innate mimicry ability to deceive the rats guarding the cave entrance, and entered the pit in his sight.

Then there was a period of silence.

Not long after, a group of ratmen ran out of the cave in panic, but were stopped by the [Storm Rat] gate guarding the entrance.

After the ratman who ran out said something to the Storm Rat that caught him, he threw away his weapon and joined the fleeing team.

After that, several chameleon soldiers with scars on their bodies lifted their invisibility and walked out, one of them holding a ratman's head in one of his hands.

“I have to say, they did a good job.”

On the other side of the city wall, a huge and deformed corpse of a [Hell Pit Abomination] fell on the outer wall of the city wall with a huge explosion, while the other two decisively chose to escape after their compatriots were killed.

It was obvious that these huge, deformed creatures still had a certain degree of self-awareness, and were as timid as ordinary humans, ready to flee as soon as the battle situation went wrong.

But the Lizardmen had no intention of letting these blasphemous and twisted creatures go, and a small team of Pterodactyl riders took off into the air and chased after the fleeing [Hell Pit Abomination].

brush!

puff!

The leader, the Great White Lizard Gorok, chopped off the head of a rat wolf with the power sword in his hand. The other lizardmen soldiers around him had also ended their battles.

"Okay, weapons." Gorok said with satisfaction as he looked at the weapons in his hands. In his opinion, these high-tech weapons provided by Zhang Yi and others were second only to some of the magical weapons he used.

The slave rats that appeared at the beginning have been besieged by a large number of [Pterodactyl Riders] and [Cold Lizard Riders] and have been fleeing in all directions. A large number of rat corpses have covered the entire battlefield.

It was a perfect victory, but Gorok knew that this was just the beginning. These rats were just the most basic soldiers, a test force to be used as probes and cannon fodder.

The real battle is just about to begin.

106. Times have changed! Rat! (Part )

"DIE! DIE!"

"Attack! Attack!"

"Kill these lizard things!"

shhhhhh!

Stones carrying dimensional stones and the breath of plague were thrown outside the city wall, and a small number of them directly hit the wall of Itaza.

Roar!

A large group of [Wild Cold Lizards] attracted by the Lizardman Tamers rushed out of the jungle and pounced on the ratmen who were operating the [Plague Catapults].

The Clan Rats and a small number of Storm Rats that had been guarding these precious siege weapons in advance were not to be outdone. They screamed at the approaching cold lizards, and a battle ensued between the two.

Zhi--Biu!

Bang bang bang!

[Dimensional Stone Lightning Cannons], these siege weapons that absorb the energy of dimensional stones and launch it in the form of lightning, are venting their firepower towards the distant walls of Itaza City, and piece of stone after piece of stone falls from the wall.

Temporary Astra Militarum command post in the city.

"Our troops are all in place, and the Living Saint -- the Nameless One has also gone to where your sleeping leader is, trying to wake him up in advance." Captain Loken said to the big white lizard Gorok in front of him. "We can always..."

"It's not the right time yet." Gorok interrupted Loken and said, "The enemy's troops have not all appeared yet. If you want to be exposed, with your huge number of troops and powerful firepower, the enemy's other troops that have not arrived will probably withdraw and not participate in this battle..."

"That would allow a large number of Skaven troops to run around in our controlled area, which would be detrimental to stability..."

"We need to delay as much as possible until all the enemy's hidden forces emerge, and then we can capture them all in one fell swoop!"

"Can you last that long?"

"We are stronger than you think," Gorok replied. "Even if the enemy's numbers are limitless, we can hold out for a long time."

"You just need to help us deal with some special targets at this stage."

. . . . . .

when!when!when!

The Skaven's special mount, the "Screaming Death Knell", echoed with its blasphemous sound throughout the battlefield, but the Skaven warriors became extremely excited and violent because of the sound.

"For the Ancient Ones! For the Great Plan!"

shhhhhh!

Boom boom boom!

Amid the falling stones that were infected with plague and corroded by dimensional stone, a Lizardman Veteran warrior riding a Tyrannosaurus Rex, led a group of Blessed Giant Horned Cold Lizards, broke through the obstruction of the Shield-Wielding Spear Clan Rats, and rushed towards the leader of the ratman army.

[Advanced Deadly Breath]

Dark green smoke with a foul odor suddenly appeared and swept across the entire lizardman army that was charging towards him. It was filled with plague and corrosive gases, and knocked down several lizardman riders in an instant.

However, there were still quite a few [God-blessed Giant Horned Cold Lizard] troops left. Even though many of their compatriots had just appeared in front of them, they still chose to continue charging forward without fear.

[Withering]

The hazy gas enveloped the oncoming Lizardmen troops, weakening and corroding their armor. At the same time, the [Spear-wielding Storm Rats] serving as the escort met the Lizardmen troops.

Several ratmen in the front were knocked away the moment they touched the ground, and then the riders whose speed was slowed down were attacked by the long-handled weapons in the hands of a large number of heavily armored ratmen around them, and some were even dragged off their mounts.

"Find the enemy leader! Provide the approximate location and shooting range!" The [Lizard Veteran] sitting on the Tyrannosaurus shouted while controlling his mount to blow away the surrounding enemies. "Everything is for the big plan!"

Because of the Astra Militarum's super long-range sniping capabilities, most of the ratmen leaders now choose to hide, either hiding in the vast rat hordes, or commanding the battle from a long distance and letting their subordinates hold super thick shields in front of them.

This undoubtedly caused great trouble to the Astra Militarum's sniping work.

The first two situations were not so bad, they just had to spend some time and use their eyes to look for them, but there was almost no way to deal with the third situation, after all, they could not rush out of the city and fight those rats with bayonets at this stage.

Puff—chi—!

A light spot representing a flare appeared in the sky, and the dazzling light could be seen even from a long distance.

The Astra Militarum sniper and observer on the city wall tower saw the signal, immediately picked up the ultra-long-range sniper rifle and telescope placed aside, and looked towards that location.

A sizable group of Lizardmen cavalry penetrated deep into the enemy lines, attempting a decapitation operation while also providing target locations for their allies.

This troop, whose riders and mounts were blessed, could defeat a hundred enemies at once and chop down the surrounding enemies like a meat grinder, but there were too many enemies, and more were rushing towards them from all directions.

when!when!when!

[Screaming Death Bell] was still swinging, and the sound it made gave the Lizardmen warriors who were deep in the enemy camp a splitting headache, and also made the Ratmen soldiers in the battle fearless.

A thick tree was suddenly pushed down, and the big bell that was shaking and making sounds, as well as the ratman wizard shaking with it, appeared in the sight of the two.

"I saw that guy!"

"Hold on, this distance is beyond the normal shooting distance, I need to calculate."

Just as the observer was measuring the distance and calculating on paper, the exposed enemy leader began to move slowly farther away.

"Hurry! He's running away!"

"Don't rush! It's almost there!"

The lizardmen in the enemy camp had discovered this situation and tried to knock away the ratmen soldiers blocking their way and rushed towards the fleeing ratman mage.

boom!

Click!

The [Lizardman Veteran] who led the troop controlled the wounded Tyrannosaurus Rex and slammed it headfirst into the [Screaming Death Bell]. The wooden structure immediately made a sound as if it could not bear the weight.

The next second, the huge bell with profanity engraved on it came crashing down, smashing the wooden wheel underneath.

Along with the bell fell down, the ratman wizard on it also fell down. Although it landed on a group of slave rats pushing a cart, it was still badly knocked unconscious.

"All right!"

At this time, the observer handed the calculated data to the sniper and began to help him adjust.

"The other party is on the move, and there are a lot of other people around..."

"The distance is too far, there is a certain delay between shooting and hitting, and the bullet cannot penetrate other enemies and maintain its power to kill the target..."

"Only one chance."

The Astra Militarum soldier in charge of sniping did not respond to the words of the observer beside him. He just held his breath silently and looked at the target in the distance.

Biu!

With a slight sound, the bullet was fired, and the entire skull of the fleeing target was lifted up a few seconds later.

"The target was hit and confirmed to be down."

"The enemy's morale has collapsed and they are fleeing." The observer put down the telescope and said, "These damned bastards should all be killed!"

"That raiding force suffered a lot of casualties, but there are still some alive. They are retreating."

"They are all powerful and fearless warriors," said the sniper. "This is the first time I have praised an alien in this way."

"Wait, something is wrong." The observer who picked up the telescope again suddenly said. "Still in that direction, further back in the sky, what are those green dots?"

"What is that? What's green..."

Boom boom boom!

A large number of shells filled with corrosion and plague fell to the ground, blowing up the ratmen soldiers and lizardmen riders who had not yet had time to escape.

That was, another army of ratmen.

Then, the Skaven Weapons Team armed with Gatling guns appeared in the field of vision, and their weapons were aimed at the remaining Lizardmen warriors.
