Warhammer 30k and the Great Tomb of Nazarick

Chapter 25 Tragic

How much time has passed?
John couldn't remember clearly, but it must have been a long time. After all, the battle started in the morning and the sun was already setting.

The setting sun was as red as blood, and the blood-red light shining on the battlefield added to the solemn and murderous atmosphere.

Barbed wire, that's what the magical human empire soldiers called those strange creations.

John saw that these simple wall-like things combined with the weapons of the Human Empire could have a huge blocking effect on low-level enemies, but now all the barbed wire had been destroyed.

Some were crushed into a ball by brute force, some were buried by corpses, and some were simply burned into scrap iron by flames.

The trenches that were equipped with barbed wire have been filled in by rock golems, and even the first trench facing the enemy was once lost and was only recaptured not long ago.

How many people died?

John couldn't remember clearly, and he didn't have the energy to calculate, but he felt that even today, half of the knights and priests of the Silian Theocracy that he was familiar with were gone.

John wanted to take a deep breath, but the air was full of burnt and rotten smells, and the bad air made him cough.

Haha, it's really embarrassing that you are already a hero but you are coughing because of the stench.

However, the heroes in this battlefield are just advanced cannon fodder.

How many enemies who have reached the heroic level have been eliminated so far?

One thousand? Two thousand? Five thousand?

I can't remember clearly, but it doesn't matter.

Originally, I was going to die a few days ago.

Not only is he alive today, but he has also cooperated with others to kill several monsters in the hero realm, and he has also seen such a strong battlefield. It is truly worth dying for.

Well, I just hope that the reinforcements promised by the Human Empire can arrive sooner. If they arrive sooner, humans can survive longer.

John was lost in thought, but his hands did not stop. He kept handing damaged equipment or laser gun magazines that had run out of energy to Father Otto.

As for why John, the head of the logistics medical team, would help repair equipment on the front line of the battlefield, it was actually very simple.

After a day of fierce attrition warfare, John and other priests had long used up their magic, but having lost the ability to cast spells, they were unwilling to withdraw from the battlefield.

So they found some jobs within their capabilities. As a hero unit, John also picked up a large-caliber automatic rifle and a ceramic steel hammer, and worked part-time as Father Otto's bodyguard.

Father Otto came to the battlefield because he was too busy repairing equipment, so he simply moved to the front line to save some time.

"0101001101000010!"

Otto angrily cursed in binary swear words that no one could understand, and the robotic arm behind him was almost leaving afterimages.

Father Otto uttered another binary curse word, then turned back to stare at the battlefield, the enemy coming again.

..............................

After all the monsters that could automatically refresh were sent out, Ainz chose to use his summoning ability to create the undead.

There are many high-level undead in the Great Tomb of Nazarick, and many of them have the ability to summon like Ainz.

If you don't consider the level and just pursue quantity, you can create a lot of undead.

Soon, a large number of undead troops, mainly skeleton warriors, gathered again.

Skeleton Warriors are a type of monster that can be created by summoning third-tier undead. Using the fourth tier, multiple summons can be made. They are skeleton warriors wearing armor, holding round shields and scimitars. Their strength is slightly inferior to that of Nazarick's senior guards. Ainz has gathered a thousand of them.

Heavy Skeleton Warriors are units created using the fifth-tier Undead Summoning Magic. They are an enhanced version of Skeleton Warriors, with a level of over 29. They are dressed in full body armor and equipped with a tower shield and a sledgehammer. Ainz gathered of them.

Ainz felt that this was not enough. If the strength of the troops commanded by Demiurge was too far behind that of Mareaura, wouldn't it seem biased?

This is something leaders need to pay attention to in order to balance the fighting force.

Ainz gave Demiurge another two hundred Death Knights and two hundred Death Troopers.

Anyway, these things can be made using the corpses of ordinary people. It and Pandora can make twenty-four of them a day. Before, because the number was increasing, they were all sent to do odd jobs. This is a good opportunity to use them up.

So after dinner time in Nazarick, Demiurge arrived on the battlefield with a new force to replace Mare and Aura.

Demiurge, wearing a red suit, with an alien tail and a treacherous look on his face, came to the battlefield and took a deep breath.

It is very satisfied with the air environment here.

It would be better if there were some more wailing.

Without giving the imperial forces time to rest, Demiurge dispatched his entire army without hesitation.

The Death Cavalry was the vanguard, with the Death Knights following closely behind as the support, and the rest of the troops followed suit.

Simple and crude, but effective.

Demiurge analyzed Ainz's thoughts and thought that what Ainz wanted to see now was the struggle of humble humans, so he deliberately had no strategy and chose a simple and rough attack.

................................................

The four enemies who arrived at the scene brought enormous pressure.

Especially among them, there are more elite monster combinations of Death Knights and Death Troopers than ever before.

Two hundred Death Knights launched a charge, but the defensive facilities used to block them had already been destroyed.

The Death Knights formed a shield wall and the Skeleton Warriors formed a square formation.

But the ammunition was no longer enough, even though it was used with caution.

But now, there are less than 200 rounds of heavy explosive bombs left, the bullets of the heavy felling gun have been used up, and most of the magazines of the light gun have been emptied, and they are being charged.

The barrels of the Flying Thunder Cannons had been damaged by continuous firing, and one of them had exploded. Even though Father Otto had done emergency repairs, there were only two Flying Thunder Cannons left, and there wasn't enough explosives.
Even though we were running low on ammunition, we couldn't let the enemy get close to us as the losses were too great.

Bao Bu Tong gritted his teeth and led the convoy forward. He and his other combat brother drove a modified large truck and took the lead.

Fortunately, in the previous battles, not a single vehicle of the Human Empire was scrapped, but after a series of battles, these vehicles were also attacked in various ways.

When Bao Bu Tong's truck collided with the Death Troopers, the hidden injuries left behind directly caused the truck's bearings to break, and the entire truck overturned to the ground.

Bao Bu Tong kicked open the car door and tried to climb out, but was immediately attacked by the Death Troopers.

Bao Bu Tong, who was trapped in the driver's seat, found it difficult to dodge and could only grab the weapons of the two attacking Death Troopers with one hand each.

But the third Death Trooper attacked right after, followed by the fourth, the fifth...

Bao Yitong's helmet was knocked off, his scalp was cut off by a sharp sword, and then his skull was pierced and his brain was destroyed.

Bao Bu Tong was already dead, but his hands were still tightly holding the weapons of the two Death Knights.

"boom!"

A Centaur assault vehicle fell to the ground after a collision with the Death Troopers. After the machine gunner inside the vehicle realized that there was no possibility of survival, he directly used the remaining heavy bomb to bombard the assault vehicle's promethium fuel tank, causing a secondary explosion.

The assault vehicle's behavior inspired the remaining vehicles, and in subsequent battles, two more vehicles successfully launched self-destruction, but the remaining vehicles were not so lucky.

The crew members didn't even have time to launch a self-detonation before they all died.
