All the airships are suspended at the port next to the industrial area.
It is a huge building.
There are tall towers standing there.
The airship uses a high tower to unload and carry away the passengers and cargo it carries.
Those airships without missions shut down their power furnaces and docked on the ground for maintenance and repairs.
The airships with transport missions remain in operation.
When Gotrek and others stood in the busy port.
Only then did I realize how huge this giant building used for airship transportation is.
It covers a vast area.
The various buildings are magnificent.
They are like tiny ants standing in front of a giant building.
The automatic elevator, built with a steam engine and giant metal cables, runs non-stop.
Led by Woody, the team took the elevator to the giant tower where the airship was located.
The airship hovers at the end of the tunnel, awaiting its passengers.
It's like a large sailing ship anchored at the harbor, ready to set sail.
Fix was amazed at what he saw.
Before entering Middenheim, I only saw the airships from afar, so I didn’t feel anything.
But when you look at them up close, you'll realize how huge those airships are.
Even more majestic than the sailboats he had seen in the ocean port cities.
The bow and sides of the airship are decorated with a double-headed eagle emblem.
There is also a double-headed eagle flag flying in the sky.
On the side of the airship facing the boarding platform extending from the giant tower, there are gold-plated words the size of a human head with a hard texture.
The Holy Emperor protects her people
When walking towards the airship, it is like walking towards a mountain floating in the air.
The crew members on the airship ran back and forth, working hard at their respective posts.
The core power furnace has been started.
With slight vibrations, the surging power is transmitted to every part of the airship.
"All preparations have been completed and we are ready to set sail."
A mechanical maintenance worker wearing goggles and observation equipment and equipped with various mechanical equipment shouted.
"Without balloons or jet equipment, how did they make such a huge ship fly
"This is incredible," said Gotrek, beside his friend.
"I feel the power of magic. They injected magic into this ship and used it as a driving force."
Fix had not yet spoken.
The wizard Harris at the side spoke.
He ran his hand along the bulkhead of the airship.
Feel the surging magical power.
Obscure magic rune circuits are embedded in the hull and sealed with a special transparent glass material.
He could only touch the smooth glass and could not touch the runes surging with magical energy.
"This is an outstanding work of the sages of the Empire." Udi explained to them, "They said that there was originally a better creation that could allow us to travel around the world in a few hours. But this world lacks a certain substance, so they can only use this method as a substitute."
Hearing this, Gotrek and Harris couldn't help but complain in their hearts.
This isn't fast enough!
Such airships are already miracles, what could be better than these miracles
Before the team members could study more secrets of the airship.
Somewhere in the airship a bell rang.
The boarding ladder that was placed was retrieved by the crew and the hatch was closed and locked.
The vibrations from the furnace intensified.
The crew moved quickly through the corridors in an orderly manner.
"May the great God of All Things protect us. It is her power that allows us to soar in the sky."
A crew member's voice came from speakers located throughout the ship.
Many crew members shouted the same words.
Like some kind of ritual.
Everyone in the team felt the movement coming from under their feet.
Looking out through the transparent porthole, one could clearly feel that they were taking off.
Looking out from the porthole in the corridor, you can see that the buildings on the surface are getting smaller and smaller.
Soon, everyone witnessed the ship passing through the clouds and sailing on the rolling sea of clouds.
"Go to your lounge according to your number tags." Woody gave a few instructions and went to the main control cabin of the airship.
The remaining four looked at each other.
Instead of heading to the cabin, they walked up a welded metal staircase to the airship's open deck.
There was not the strong wind on the deck that they had imagined.
A vague protective shield kept the strong wind out.
They could only feel a slight breeze.
Walking to both sides of the ship, the four members of the team couldn't help but feel fear.
Their position is too high.
No living creatures or buildings can be seen on the ground.
At most, you can only recognize where the mountains and forests are and where the lakes are.
Can't see any details.
They stayed on the cabin deck for quite a while.
Feel the brand new flying experience brought to them by Imperial Industry.
Those mysterious people from the empire used their unique and unknown skills to send such a huge ship into the sky.
Such technology is too powerful.
Even Gotrek had to admit that the gap between the dwarves and the empire was like an insurmountable chasm.
No one knows where the limits of the empire lie.
They are so mysterious.
All the world knows is that they save their suffering compatriots in the name of the Holy Emperor and liberate worlds ravaged by the Chaos Gods one after another.
When Gotrek and his companions got tired of looking at the vast sea of clouds and the vast surface of the earth from high in the sky, they returned to their respective cabins.
There are complete living facilities on the airship.
Carrying a large amount of supplies and energy stones, enough to meet the needs of navigation.
The airship not only has a kitchen, but also a huge cabin that can accommodate hundreds of people for dining.
In addition to the five-man team ready to carry out the decapitation mission, there are hundreds of people on this airship.
They are all trained fighters.
When it's time to evacuate, these people will help them escape from the crazy rat tide.
The journey to Mount Babong took them two days.
Udi took this opportunity to hand over the Imperial weapons to Gotrek and others, and taught them how to use them.
The reason why I didn't give it to you before is because weapons are rarer than armor.
The exploration team did not bring many weapons suitable for ordinary people to use.
If Gao Trek and others were careless or reckless, they would damage their weapons, or use their weapons to damage their armor.
Udi has no spare weapons or spare armor.
The imperial weapons with power fields are a dimensionality-reduction attack on this world.
The use of these powerful weapons is no different from the melee weapons used by Gotrek and others.
The profound knowledge of kinetic weapons is reflected in the process of forging them.
Rather than expressing it through complex operations.
Making the use of something extremely complicated and considering it high-end is absolutely stupid behavior.
Wait until the morning of the third day.
The airship's lookout saw the majestic eight mountains clustered together through the telescope.
The driver who received the news pulled the control lever.
The spacecraft was slowly lowered in altitude, and anti-magic detection and optical stealth capabilities were activated to ensure that the airship would not be discovered by the enemy.
The invisible airship landed in an open space.
A huge shadow was cast on the surface.
If there were any living people here, they would surely scream in fear.
All they could see was distorted air, casting shadows on the ground, but nothing at all.
One would inevitably think that there was some strange giant ghost moving in the sun.
When the airship descended to a certain height, a door on the side opened.
The airborne ladder was thrown down.
Woody and others climbed up the ladder to the ground.
After dropping off its passengers, the airship regained altitude.
The airship will hover nearby until a member of the team sends them a message, at which point they will be picked up.
... ... ...
Bafeng Mountain is vast and huge.
It is not an easy task to find the ratmen's lair and the Council of Thirteen.
Gao Trek did know something about the Eight Peaks Mountain.
After all, this is the territory of the dwarves.
After the dwarves lost the Eight Peaks, they tried several times to retake it, but never succeeded.
There are still some dwarves active in the Eight Peaks, fighting enemies in the name of their ancestors.
Led by Gotrek, the team soon arrived at a ruined, abandoned dwarf city.
The dwarf city is built into the mountains, it is ancient and solid.
They entered from the low point.
There stands a tall and majestic city wall.
It is built by stacking huge stones together.
It has been abandoned for who knows how long and is now covered with green moss.
A town of considerable size lies behind the city walls.
The town is crisscrossed with low walls, and weeds grow in between.
After walking a few steps, you can see gray skeletons.
Traces of artillery fire and swords and axes can be seen on some of the low walls.
It was obvious that the dwarves had fought desperate battles with the invaders.
Just from the remaining traces, one can see how intense the tragedy was at that time.
Gray smoke covered this once glorious but declining city.
With a look of sadness on his face, Gotrek tells the rest of the team about Eight Peaks' former glory and its tragic end.
"We built this impregnable city and thought we were at the top of the world, but fate made the dwarves a joke. While we were busy fighting the elves, the Skaven and Goblins were gathering strength, waiting to push the dwarves into the abyss of destruction."
“But you won the victory over the elves, didn’t you
We have obtained all the lands of the elves. The lands from the World's Edge Mountains to the Vast Ocean belong to you." The wizard Harris in the team said in a scholarly tone.
"That was the beginning of sadness. We didn't get any joy from that victory. More than two-thirds of our warriors died in that bitter battle. Before we had time to enjoy the fruits of victory, we were forced back to our city by frequent geological disasters. At that critical moment, the despicable goblins and skaven rushed in along the mines where we dug for wealth, trying to seize our homes and wealth."
"So how did you deal with it?" Harris asked.
Gotrek glanced at his companions' faces.
"What can we do? Of course we take up arms and fight them. Our wars with the elves took place in the jungle and on the ground. The wars with the Skaven and Goblins took place in the narrow and dark underground passages."
"The horrific weapons and tragic casualties were beyond my imagination. Beams and pillars collapsed, and the corridors were full of flame bombs. The tunnels were flooded with floods and poisonous gas, and the companions in charge of defense died miserably."
"Our enemies are cunning and cruel. They use all kinds of evil witchcraft or summon demons to wreak havoc on the Dwarf Kingdom and pollute our water and food. We used all our resources, weapons and courage to fight the enemy, but we still failed and lost our homeland."
"We could no longer defend these cities. We were forced to use sophisticated instruments and ancient runes to hide the tombs of our ancestors and their precious treasures, and then we abandoned the entire city to our enemies."
Gotrek's tone was filled with endless sadness.
Everyone could imagine those ancient dwarves.
Defeat the greed of the Skaven and Green Orcs.
They fought desperately, but in the end had to swallow the bitter consequences of defeat.
The survivors left their homes in agony.
The team moves through the city.
This place looks like it has been destroyed by those Chaos Demons.
The streets were lined with collapsed houses.
If you get close to it, you will smell moldy and rotten.
Evil-looking crows made creepy cries on the remains of ancient chimneys.
Some skinny black birds were flying in a dark mass above their heads.
They were all on guard against enemies that might appear at any time.
The city had long since fallen and became the territory of the Skaven and Orcs.
Just because we can’t see any trace of them now doesn’t mean the danger doesn’t exist.
... ... ... ... ... .
Led by Gotrek, the team entered the mountain through a dilapidated gate.
Suddenly, twenty strong, armored orcs rushed out of the dark tunnel with a large number of goblins.
When they saw Woody and the others, they let out deafening roars, revealing their bloodthirsty brutality.
Gotrek activated the battle axe in his hand according to the method taught by Udi.
Dancing arcs of electricity appeared on the surface of the axe blade, and a faint blue light appeared in the dark tunnel.
"I feel a powerful force." The weapon that Gotrek used before was a divine weapon forged by the ancient dwarf rune master Valek - the Great Axe of Destruction.
But at this moment, he felt a power from the weapon in his hand that was far more terrifying than the Axe of Destruction.
Infinite power surges in the axe blade.
He felt like he could tear apart everything in this world.
Maybe, it's not just a feeling, but reality.
Gotrek swung his battle axe, breaking the orc's weapon and splitting the armored orc in two.
It was as easy as cutting tofu, and there was no difficulty at all.
"How is it possible!
"Gottrik's face showed shock. Not only were the imperial armors hard, but the imperial weapons were also so sharp.
Gotrek looked at the weapon in his hand, somewhat doubtful.
What kind of enemy would need such armor and weapons
If he had such equipment, he would dare to kill his way through the terrible chaotic wasteland alone.
Perhaps, he could find the glorious death he longed for in the mysterious empire.
The orcs were slaughtered by the team in just a short while.
Their weapons were far more powerful than those of their enemies.
It's like using a sharp sword to chop down an enemy holding a wooden sword.
No matter how tenacious and courageous the enemy is, they cannot make up for the gap in weapons and equipment.
"I have never used such a powerful and sharp weapon." After finishing the battle, Fix looked at the long sword in his hand that was glowing with blue light and exclaimed in amazement.
With just one sword, the strong orc was cut in two.
How many terrible secrets are hidden in the empire behind those explorers
"Who are you?"
The battle had just ended and the few people had no time to do anything.
Several dwarves came out of the darkness with bows and crossbows.
Obviously, they came here after hearing the roar of the orcs.
They wore heavy iron armor and carried helmets with cheek guards and wings on the sides.
In his powerful hands he held a crossbow, and on his back hung a warhammer or a greataxe.
The dwarf in the lead had a thin, angular face and his eyes were sparkling with a burning gaze.
His beard was dark and long, with a few strands of silver in it.
"I am Gotrek," Gotrek shouted.
When Gotrek said his name, there was a whisper among the dwarves.
Gotrek and Fix had been to the Eight Peaks before and had dealt with the dwarves there.
A Dwarf border lord named Belegar led an expedition to retake some of the territory of the Eight Peaks.
Today, the Eight Peaks is a place where dwarves, skaven, and green orcs fight together.
Of course, the dwarves have the smallest force.
Gotrek had an adventure here, killed a terrible chaos troll, rescued his ancestors, and took away a holy sword left here.
The dwarves here were impressed by him and the human Fix who had been following him.
After chatting for a few words and stating my purpose.
The dwarves took this beheading team to meet their lord.
Woody had no objection to this. If he could get help from the local dwarves, the mission might go more smoothly.
After passing through several tunnels, they entered a magnificent hall with tattered flags hanging on it.
The hall is located in the mountain, and the light comes from the chandeliers on the dome.
There are glowing gems on it.
Belegar, the leader of the Eight Peaks dwarves, sat on an ivory throne inlaid with gold, with rows of dwarves in heavy armor and blue shirts on both sides.
A female dwarf wearing a purple robe and with an iron book hanging around her thick neck stood nearby.
Gotrek glanced at his fellow tribesmen.
Their condition was obviously much worse than the last time they came.
Some of the dwarves' armor was covered with traces of battle, and their eyes could not hide their fatigue.
The last time I came here, there were more than 150 dwarves here.
Looking at it now, it seems to be just over a hundred.
Probably due to the attack by Skaven and Orcs, a lot of manpower was lost.
"What are you doing back here again? And with new humans and halflings." Belegar's voice was low, arrogant, and irritable.
"We are here to deal with the Thirteen Council members of the Skaven. They have escaped from the Devil Rat City and are hiding in the Pillar City under the Eight Peaks Mountain."
Hearing Gotrek's words, Belegar's eyes showed doubt.
"Those rats escaped from the waste city? How did you know?"
Gotrek pointed at Udi, "He was one of the human officers who captured the abandoned city. He was ordered to deal with the Council of Thirteen."
"Hahaha." Beleja, who was sitting on the throne, laughed as if he had heard some funny joke.
"We don't have much contact with the outside world, but are you kidding? Gotrek, humans were able to capture the Rat Waste City. You might as well tell me that Sigmar and the succubus gave birth to a big fat boy. The latter is much more credible than the former."
"The abandoned city has indeed fallen." Woody stood up and said, "You are too isolated from the news and have no idea of the changes outside."
"Be more respectful." Belegar said, "This is not your territory."
"In the name of the Holy Emperor, this is the Empire's territory." Udi stared into the dwarf's eyes, "If you don't know, I can tell you that several dwarf kings have agreed to become vassals of the human empire. The dwarf's territory is the Empire's territory."
"Are you looking for death by saying such things?" Bellegar's tone was filled with anger.
It is absolutely impossible for the dwarf king to surrender and become a vassal of humans.
Bellegar had only one thought.
The human in front of him was talking nonsense and undermining the dignity of the dwarves.
"What he said is true." Gotrek stood up and said, "The covenant has been signed. Maybe the Eight Peaks Mountain is too remote and the news has not been received yet."
Belegar's eyes turned gloomy.
Gotrek is a famous butcher and dwarven hero.
There is no way I could lie about the honor of a dwarf.
What happened in the outside world
Let those dwarf kings willingly give up their honor and become vassals of humans.
"It's a disgrace," Belegar said. "They have betrayed the honor of their ancestors."
"Living in the past is never a wise choice." Woody had no intention of arguing with the other party about some unimportant issues, and directly stated his purpose: "We are here to completely eliminate the Skaven. They have lost their most important ruined city. If we can eliminate the members of the Thirteen Councils, the Skaven's morale will definitely collapse, and their empire will also fall apart."
"Even if what you said is true, do you know how many ratmen live under this land? If they all surge to the surface, they can fill the valley of Eight Peaks Mountain. It is absolutely a pipe dream for you five people to kill the members of the Thirteen Council among so many ratmen."
Belegar looked around at the group of five people.
A weak wizard, a halfling who is not even as tall as a dwarf.
Those three humans seemed to have some fighting ability.
But with such a combination, they want to break into the Pillar City and eliminate the Thirteen Councils.
It would be better to pray that Sigmar would appear soon.
"We are very confident." Woody said, "You can choose to assist us. When the Skaven are defeated, we will also eliminate the local goblins. Then the dwarves will be able to return to the Eight Peaks to live."
"If you are willing to die, I have no objection." Belegar said in a mocking tone: "The members of the Thirteen Councils should all stay under the temple of the Horned Rat. I once led a team into the Pillar City. As a help, I can give you a map that I left behind."
"Remember not to go too deep. There are even more terrifying things under the Pillar City. What I said is a bit redundant. You may not even see the Pillar City and will die in the rat tide. How could I have the absurd idea that you can enter the underground of the Pillar City."
... ...
Belegar was angry at Udi's rudeness.
But he did not make things difficult for them and even provided them with the map left behind by the original expedition team.
Maybe they thought that it would be a dead end for Woody and the others to enter the Pillar City.
I don't want to bother with these dead people.
Udi and the others did not stay for too long. After replenishing their strength with the high-energy food they brought with them, they used Beleja's map to follow the portals and tunnels left by their ancient dwarf ancestors and entered deep underground.
The cities of the dwarves are magnificent.
Only a tiny part of it is exposed above the ground.
Just like an iceberg, the main part is what is hidden below the sea level.
The scale of the underground city far exceeds any previous human city, and is comparable only to Middenheim, which has the technological support of the Empire.
Judging from the wide tunnels and halls, Eight Peaks might have been hollowed out by the dwarves.
Witnessing those magnificent buildings, Gotrek could hardly conceal the disappointment on his face.
That was the lost glory of the dwarves.
They may never be able to return to that peak again.
The number of dwarves is decreasing every year.
Without enough people, there would not be enough craftsmen, and they would no longer be able to build such a magnificent city.
The era of the dwarves has ended. They hide in the fortress left by their ancestors, waiting for the end of the world.
At this time, Gotrek began to understand the feelings of the dwarf kings who signed the contract with the human empire.
Clinging to the glory of their ancestors will only lead the dwarves to destruction.
Changing the method may prevent the dwarves from disappearing from this world.
Many underground tunnels have collapsed and many roads have been blocked.
The tunnels left by the dwarves intersect with those dug by the ratmen and orcs.
The underground environment is complex.
Even with a map, finding the right path is not an easy task.
Theresa, the halfling rogue, walked in front, his movements were agile and silent, like a ghost.
The people who followed him kept a certain distance from him and moved forward according to the marks he left.
The first enemy the party encountered was an ogre with a group of goblins blocking the tunnel ahead.
It was taller than everyone in the squad and had two heads.
The big one had a hideous and ferocious head, and wore an ugly crown.
The arm armor had huge spikes, and in one hand he held a terrifying long scythe, and in the other he held a crude staff.
The thing had an entire rat-man chewing in its mouth.
As it moved, blood kept flowing from the corners of its mouth.
The rat man was still alive at first, kicking his legs desperately, trying to stay alive.
But the ogre's sharp, pointed iron teeth easily crushed the ratman's bones, and sounds of breaking bones and tearing flesh came from its mouth.
The ogre and his goblins did not notice Woody and others.
"Maybe we should bypass these enemies so that we can sneak in quietly." Theresa, the halfling thief, said as she returned to the group.
Gao Trek took out his battle axe and whispered, "Kill them all. They won't be able to send a message. We can sneak in quietly."
Theresa was stunned for a moment when she heard Gotrek's violent stealth method. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be the same.
Uday adopted the latter approach.
He planned to get closer and eliminate all the enemies he could to avoid unnecessary trouble caused by the escaping enemies.
Just as they were about to fight, they discovered a group of orcs coming out of another tunnel.
Before they could react, a brutal fight broke out between the orcs and ogres.
"They belong to different factions," Gotrek said. "We have to hurry, otherwise their fight will attract more enemies. If it turns into a big melee, it will be very disadvantageous to our operations."
Five people surrounded them from different directions and rushed out.
Their weapons flashed with arcs of electricity, easily tearing through the enemy's armor.
This is a naked massacre.
The enemy's resistance is meaningless to them.
The ogre's sickle chopped on Woody's armor, only creating countless sparks but leaving no trace.
Instead, Woody chopped off his head with a sword.
Harris, the wizard, was also swinging his sword and killing.
The killing power of the magic he released was touching. The goblin that was hit by three fireballs was still jumping around and screaming.
Fortunately, Fix and Gotrek were by his side, helping him deal with the enemies he had missed.
A moment later, enemies from two different factions were killed by Udi and others.
Only debris was left all over the ground.
"Let's go." After dealing with the last enemy, Woody signaled his team members to continue moving forward.
Next, they encountered several waves of enemies.
There are orcs and ratmen.
Theresa always finds them in advance and warns Woody and others.
The team would directly eliminate any enemies they encountered, leaving no one alive.
They are not violent and mindless.
If we kill them all directly, the possibility of being exposed will be greatly reduced.
Countless conflicts break out in these underground tunnels every day.
Even if the corpse is left behind, it will not attract the attention of the ratmen and orcs.
If they were discovered while sneaking by goblins or ratmen and reported to them, their operation would most likely be ruined.
With the help of Theresa, an excellent thief scout, they easily reached the edge of the ratman city.
No matter which ratman city it is, it is a horrible hell.
The main body of the Pillar City is the mineral vein that the dwarves once dug out.
The weird, ugly and disgusting rat-man buildings are built in intricate tunnels and foul-smelling underground spaces.
Countless rat slaves worked under the whip of their overseers, wailing in despair.
The slaves dug tunnels day and night to expand this vast underground kingdom.
Huge stone pillars support the hollowed-out strata.
The dome and walls are inlaid with large amounts of warpstone to provide light.
A thick atmosphere of chaos surges in this underground city.
Harris used his magic to spy on the city.
His fighting ability is not strong, but his ability of spying and escaping is definitely the best in this world.
Harris learned magic for some reason that cannot be made public.
Using his excellent peeping spell, Harris quickly locked onto the location of the members of the Council of Thirteen.
They hid in a building left by the dwarves, arguing and perfecting their plan of revenge against humans.
Didn't stay under the Temple of the Horned Rat.
If they simply launched a brutal attack, the mission would probably fail.
Harris cast an invisibility spell on Woody and the others, which not only could hide their bodies, but also could restrain all aura.
"As long as we don't take action, this magic won't be discovered." Harris said, "I have used this magic to sneak into many important places. Even the heavily guarded Mage Academy, I have used this spell to easily enter. The ratmen's city is in chaos, and there are dimensional stones. As long as we don't take the initiative to take action, they will never find us."
Hearing Harris's self-boasting words, everyone looked at him with a subtle look.
Harris possesses vision spells and invisibility spells that are difficult for even the top magic masters to achieve.
Offensive spells, however, are a complete mess.
The goblin was still alive and well after resisting three fireballs.
What on earth is this guy learning magic for
"I just want to quietly appreciate the beauty." Harris explained: "I swear I have never done anything to force or hurt others. They know nothing about me and have never realized my existence."
No one criticized Harris for what he had done before.
After simple preparation, they sneaked into the ratman city.
The rat people could never imagine that anyone would sneak into their city.
Even the ratman assassin from the Aishin clan failed to find any trace of Udi and others.
Their attention is focused on the ratmen, and they are always ready to use the most brutal means to suppress the rebellion started by the lower-level ratmen and assassinate those ratmen who dare to criticize the Thirteen Councils.
They were completely unaware that enemies had infiltrated the city, preparing to assassinate members of the Council of Thirteen.
After all, nothing like that had ever happened.
From the day the ratmen received the gift from the Horned Rat and established their underground empire, there has never been a case of ratmen cities being infiltrated.
Udi and his companions sneaked into the vicinity of the dwarf building where the members of the Thirteen Councils were located, only to be discovered by chance by an assassin from the Aixin family.
The halfling stabbed the guy to death with his dagger, but he was still a step too late.
The alarm sounded, attracting the attention of countless ratmen.
The elite Stormrat Guards quickly took action, trying to protect the safety of the members of the Council of Thirteen.
However, such a close distance was enough for Udi and others to complete the task.
A powerful bomb that had been prepared long ago was thrown into the building.
The deafening explosion swept in all directions along with the terrible shock wave.
The entire stone building was transformed into scarlet lava emitting billowing hot steam under the tremendous force.
The huge explosion even shook the foundations of the ratmen city.
The tunnel collapsed and rubble from the dome kept falling, hitting the ratmen and making them scream.
Eleven of the Thirteen Council members were killed in the explosion, with only one surviving because he was wearing an amulet imbued with the powers of several powerful Grey Seers.
Unfortunately, before it could escape, it was discovered by the sharp-eyed Gotrek, who charged and killed all the ratmen who wanted to rescue it, and chopped off the head of the corrupt lord.
All members of the Council of Thirteen were killed.
They also plan to launch a full-scale revenge on humans.
Unexpectedly, before it could be implemented, it was already solved by humans.
The angry ratmen swarmed towards the five people like a pot of rage.
Woody and his men evacuated as planned, fighting their way out with the powerful equipment and weapons in their hands.
When they reached the edge of the ratman city, they drank the speed potion they had prepared.
With the help of the potion, they ran all the way without any desire to fight.
Just focus on sprinting forward and don't take action unless the way forward is blocked.
A huge wave of ratmen was chasing them from behind.
Every rat man fell into madness.
Their scarlet eyes revealed the desire to tear these people apart.
If he were dragged into the rat tide, even with the protection of the Imperial Armor, it would be difficult to leave a complete body.
Woody and his men detonated the bombs they were carrying one after another, using the collapsed tunnel to bury the ratmen who were chasing them closely. They finally managed to escape along the same route and sent an evacuation signal to the airship.
Belegar, the dwarf lord who had mocked Udi and his party before, was so shocked when he saw the head on Gotrek's waist, as if he had seen the dwarf god Grimmnir fall in love with the elf goddess Lilith and have a big fat boy with her.
There was only one thought in Bellegar's mind.
How is such a thing possible!
This must be a lie!
Five people actually killed all members of the Thirteenth Council of the Rat Empire.
If it weren't for the crazy ratmen pouring out from all directions, Belegar would probably have remained in that state of shock for a whole year.
The team members and the dwarves of Eight Peaks Mountain evacuated while fighting against the rat tide.
The arriving airship carried out saturation bombing on the ground, creating conditions for Udi's team to evacuate, and took the surviving dwarves out with them.
The rats could do nothing but feel helpless and furious as they watched the human airships flying high into the sky.
The members of the Thirteen Councils were killed and the abandoned capital was seized.
The Skaven were doomed to division and endless civil war.
The demise of the Ratman Empire is inevitable.
The timing of the demise depends only on how quickly humanity is cleansed.
On the deck of the airship, Belegar held the head of one of the members of the Council of Thirteen, his entire short and strong body trembling with excitement.
At that time, the dwarves suffered heavy casualties from the Skaven's use of poison gas and dimensional stone artifacts, and were eventually defeated. Only a hundred dwarves were able to evacuate from the Eight Peaks Mountain.
Now that the members of the Thirteen Council have been killed, it is undoubtedly a revenge for the dwarves who died in the Battle of Eight Peaks.
"I express my sincere apologies to you. You have avenged our dead ancestors, and in return, you will be the dwarves' eternal friends."
The Dwarf Lord Belegar apologized for his previous arrogant attitude towards Udi and others.
He was too stubborn to realize that a new era had arrived.
"All this is just the will of the Holy Emperor." Udi said: "We fight for her and are committed to saving the world. If we want to be grateful, we should be grateful to her. The Holy Emperor is the salvation of all of us."
... ... ... .
... ... ... ... ... ..
The ancient Eastern empire - Zhendan, has always been a legendary land of mystery, power and wealth.
It is said that there is endless gold and treasures there, and everyone wears silk, which is regarded as a treasure by the nobles.
Such rumors have excited many people, and they are eager to go to that dreamlike country.
Vlad, the vampire lord captured by Valerian in Middenheim, had been to Cathay.
According to him, Zhendan was not as beautiful and wealthy as the legend said, but it was also a huge existence far beyond many kingdoms.
They relied on the Great Wall to resist the invasion of chaotic forces from the eastern prairie and established a peaceful country.
Prosperous and with a unique culture.
After learning enough information, Valyrian planned to go to Cathay to recover the fragments of the Emperor.
There are two routes from Middenheim to Zhendan.
Pass through the Edge of the World, then through the Dark Lands, through the Ogre Kingdom, and finally to the Cathay Empire.
Or you can go through the eastern prairie that connects the Chaos Wasteland and the Northern Wasteland and reach the Great Wall of the Cathay Empire.
After some consideration, Valerian chose to take the route through the eastern grasslands.
That road is more dangerous.
But that road is shorter and saves more time.
As for the enemies in the Chaos Wasteland and the Northern Wasteland, they pose no danger.
As the Old Ones poured into this world, the Chaos Gods saw this world as their game and chessboard.
But behind Valyrian is an empire ruled by a holy emperor.
If the gods wanted to treat him as a pawn on the chessboard, they had to be prepared to pay the price.
Valerian set out from Middenheim with a fleet of airships.
They fly at high altitudes, lowering their altitude only occasionally when they need to land to refill their water supplies.
Not many conflicts broke out over this issue.
Occasionally, some soldiers from the northern barbarian tribes would appear and plunder them in the name of the gods.
They were all killed by Valerian and others.
The airship fleet finally stopped in front of the city wall that was blessed with many magic spells.
The reason why we did not cross the city wall was because we would have reached the territory of Zhendan if we went past it.
And Zhendan is protected by a super giant protective spell.
Valyrian felt the power of the Emperor in it.
As a member of the Imperial Guard, he had served in the palace for many years, had been summoned by the Emperor, and had a fragment of the Emperor's soul in his body.
There was no way Valyrian would mistake the Emperor's presence.
Inside the Great Wall, Zhendan also possesses a variety of spacecraft and anti-aircraft firepower that utilize thermal currents.
In order to avoid war and enter Zhendan peacefully, Valerian had no choice but to order the fleet to lower its altitude and let his airship go alone to negotiate.
Soon, dozens of ships flying dragon flags and using thermal currents to fly slowly approached the airship where Valerian was.
The Zhendan people pushed out the dragon-mouth cannons from the muzzles of the spacecraft and aimed them at the airship where Valerian was.
They would open fire without hesitation at the slightest sign of movement.
"I am the commander-in-chief of the northern border, the lord of the raging wind, and the eldest daughter of the Haotian Dragon Emperor. Tell me your name and purpose, stranger, or you will be torn to pieces by the artillery fire of the Changyuan defenders."
A voice reached Valerian's ears.
