Total War: I'm building up an army to rebel against the Qing Dynasty in a heavily modified vers

Chapter 113 Not a single one will escape!

That's so brutal, it's unbelievably brutal!

To be honest, the fire lizards were a bit confused. Judging from their size, they didn't seem to be much smaller than the mutated Yu Ming, so why was there such a big difference in their strength?

One of the fire salamanders was grabbed by Yu Ming and used as a meteor hammer, and was smashed to death on the spot. The other fire salamander also did not escape the same fate, because it was the unlucky one that was aimed at and smashed hard.

The remaining three fire lizards were startled and quickly stopped charging, retreating to create some distance before unleashing a barrage of fire at Yu Ming.

After the three enormous fireballs struck Yu Ming, they immediately exploded and ignited. Yu Ming's bulky and tall body instantly turned into a torch and burst into flames.

Fortunately, the monster that had mutated after taking the pill seemed to be quite afraid of fire. So when Yu Ming found that his whole body was on fire, he immediately began to struggle and desperately try to put out the flames.

The bloated monster fell clumsily, and in the process, one of its short appendages was even crushed, but Yu Ming obviously didn't care about such a minor injury.

He struggled to roll his bloated body, trying to extinguish the fire by rolling on the ground, but the fire lizard's flames were not so easily put out. Yu Ming's attempt to extinguish the fire not only failed to work, but also spread the flammable liquid evenly on his body, making the fire burn even more intensely.

More importantly, the three fire lizards are still hiding at a distance that is neither too close nor too far, continuously breathing fire.

They provided firepower to Yu Ming.

From the current perspective, the best way to get rid of this monster is through fire. Fire lizards will not sympathize with their enemies at this time; they will only take this opportunity to beat a drowning dog.

With a bloodcurdling scream, Yu Ming's body gradually stopped struggling.

Its flesh and blood gradually crumbled, and its eyes turned into black clumps of charcoal. Finally, accompanied by a series of strange crackling sounds, all of Yu Ming's bones collapsed, and he turned into a pile of foul-smelling broken bones and rotten flesh.

Seeing that Yu Ming had finally been killed, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, someone thought of the group of lamas who were the culprits, and immediately looked around angrily.

But they discovered that the lamas had disappeared without a trace!

"Those wicked monks! Those vicious wicked monks!"

"Damn it, I'm going to skin them alive to avenge my dead brothers!"

On the city wall, soldiers of the Polu Army angrily cursed, their eyes filled with hatred.

If it weren't for those lamas, how could this battle have been so brutal?

Without the lamas, the Qing army's most threatening force to them would have been the cannons they brought. But since the lamas arrived, this battlefield has become a living hell!

A large number of elite soldiers died at the city gate. The soldiers who had just joined the Polu Army knew even better that the heavy infantrymen who had fought the enemy at the city gate were all the commander's direct subordinates and his most prized possessions!

Besides, many soldiers on the city wall were killed by the Qing army's muskets and cannons. Even the Changsheng Army killed many Polu Army soldiers who were caught off guard when they rushed to the city wall.

Although the veterans did not have much ability to resist the Changsheng Army, they at least knew how to dodge, how to predict the enemy's attack location, and how to prepare in advance.

However, inexperienced recruits cannot do these things, so they often only discover the presence of the Changsheng Army when they appear on the city walls, and then they are met with a single beheading. Almost no one can escape death when they first encounter the Changsheng Army.

"Alright, let's take stock of our casualties, see how many brothers have fallen, and rescue all the wounded and provide them with proper care. Mobilize all the medical clinics in the city!"

"Tell those clinics in town that the commander-in-chief will pay them later. Don't be stingy with herbs at a time like this; tell them to use all their skills!"

As the crowd was buzzing with discussion, Luo Ping suddenly tapped his shield with his sword and then shouted loudly.

After giving the order, he shouted to the few cavalrymen who had just run to the city wall, "Cavalleriamen, your next task is to quickly seal off this area and find the group of escaped lamas as fast as possible!"

"I don't believe those lamas could just run away like that. Even if they did, they couldn't have gone too far. Catch them back, or kill them all!"

As he said this, Luo Ping was also panting heavily, but not from exhaustion, but from anger.

In his view, those lamas were simply local Chaos believers. If they weren't despicable and evil Chaos sorcerers, how could they possibly possess such a chaotic array of evil magic?

Everyone has a responsibility to eliminate Chaos Believers, especially those who have offended him and caused him huge losses!

The cavalrymen quickly set off, and even the last three fire lizards followed them out, heading out to cause trouble for the lamas.

However, on the other side, a strange vortex suddenly appeared, and several lamas walked out of it weakly. One of the lamas even let out a terrified scream, and then, in full view of everyone, his body was drained dry, leaving only a human skin!

Faced with this horrifying scene, the other lamas seemed to show no surprise at all. Instead, they breathed a sigh of relief, as if they were glad that the one who died was their companion, not themselves.

There was no other way; in order to escape, they used a very special secret method.

This secret technique requires at least eight lamas to exert their power simultaneously. Its effect is to open a vortex, leading them to the "Pure Land," and then from there, to open a completely new passage, transferring them to another location in the real world.

position.

The location of this passage is often random and it doesn't extend too far, so it can't allow them to travel hundreds or even thousands of miles in an instant.

Moreover, when they leave the Pure Land, one of the lamas will be left there forever. The person left behind each time is not fixed, and there are no fixed characteristics. It is a very mysterious and random problem.

"Padan Chokyi has been left forever in the Pure Land, a true Buddha who serves us. Do not grieve for him; we should continue our work!"

The leading lama clasped his hands together and calmly addressed the other lamas, who nodded in agreement. It seemed that Ping was not saddened at all by the departure of his companion.

For some reason, a hint of fear and relief seemed to appear in their eyes, as if the "pure land" they spoke of was not such a good place after all.

After the lamas found a place to meditate and rest for a while, and recovered some of their energy, they began to carefully observe their surroundings.

To be honest, it is very difficult to observe the surrounding environment because the development level of the area outside the pass is too low, and it always snows in winter, so there are snow-covered forests everywhere, and everything looks pretty much the same.

But they were lucky, because they saw scattered footprints and a path exposed outside the snow.

In other words, if they follow this path, they should be able to reach a town or a village in no time.

Without the slightest hesitation, the lamas set off immediately, because even with the magical power supporting them, they could not survive for long in this icy wilderness. They had to find a warm shelter and food to help them recover.

Unfortunately, as they walked, they suddenly felt that something was not quite right.

"Wait a minute, look, aren't there people coming this way from the other side? And those flags they're carrying... they look kind of familiar."

A lama with relatively good eyesight braved the cold wind and looked into the distance. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said...

"Great! Is this the imperial army?"

The other lamas were all very excited, thinking that another Qing army was coming to their aid, but only one lama felt uneasy.

In his memory, apart from the Shengjing General's troops, there didn't seem to be any other strong cavalry units around here.

The troops of General Yu Ming of Shengjing had already been wiped out. Some of the Qing soldiers were dead, and some had fled. The other troops in Shengjing were trapped in the inner city and were blocked from leaving by the rebels.

If that's the case, then who exactly is this cavalry unit that is rapidly approaching them?

The sound of horses' hooves grew louder and louder in the distance, and the earth seemed to tremble. As the distance rapidly closed, the lamas finally saw clearly what the flags held by the cavalrymen had.

"Oh no! It's the Po Lu Army! These are Po Lu Army cavalry! Where have we been teleported to?"

Upon seeing the flag with black background and red lettering, the lamas immediately panicked.

Especially when they saw the cavalry rushing towards them, which seemed to have wings on their backs, these superstitious lamas were even more terrified, thinking that the enemy was also some kind of mutated and modified special cavalry.

They had no idea that the cavalry charging toward them was the famous Griffin Legion cavalry of Lady Kisley.

The wings on the backs of these cavalrymen are actually the decorations of the Winged Hussars from the Warhammer version.

Although in reality, Winged Hussars didn't actually carry this thing when charging, because it was cumbersome and affected their balance, making it inconvenient for them to perform well on horseback.

However, in the world of Warhammer Fantasy, Lady Kisley's charge would actually include this thing, perhaps to make her army more distinctive.

Of course, Warhammer is a world full of idealism, with many strange and wonderful idealistic bonuses. In many cases, the more ornately dressed troops not only reflect their elite status, but their equipment may also have some magical or divine blessing.

These griffon legions were tasked with patrolling around Shengjing City, sweeping away any Qing troops that had fled, capturing or eliminating them as many as possible.

On the other hand, they needed to inform the surrounding villages of the arrival of the Po Lu Army and tell them that Shengjing City had been occupied, announcing that they had been brought under the rule of the Po Lu Army.

Since these four griffin legions all originated from system buildings, their activity range is limited to the area directly under the jurisdiction of Shengjing and they cannot venture too far.

Therefore, they did not go with the military governor to support Kaiyuan from the beginning, but instead stayed in the vicinity to patrol.

They had assumed that this patrol mission would be a relatively boring one, with the occasional encounter with stray Qing soldiers to fight, and the added challenge of keeping the local populace at ease.

But they really didn't expect that after just running around outside, they would inexplicably encounter a group of lamas in the snow!

They knew very well that these lamas were Rock's enemies. Rock had already described what his enemies looked like, and these lamas happened to be dressed in a very distinctive way.

When the Griffin Legion discovered that there was such a very important group of enemies ahead, they charged towards them with great momentum, determined to take these valuable heads and use their blood to demonstrate the bravery of the Griffin Legion!

The lamas panicked and desperately tried to escape the onslaught of the griffon legion, each one struggling to move forward.

They went into the woods nearby.

As for staying to resist?

That simply doesn't exist!

Although they do possess some magical abilities, most of these abilities are limited to alchemy rather than being used in direct combat with enemies.

Therefore, when they were not surrounded by Qing soldiers, their fighting strength was greatly reduced. Moreover, their comrades were all running away, so why should they stay behind to cover their retreat?

They desperately tried to hide in the jungle, hoping to use the dense forest to block the griffin legion, but all their efforts were in vain.

The sharp spears easily pierced the chests of one lama after another. To ensure that these guys were completely dead, rather than faking their deaths to escape, the griffin legion cavalry would deliberately trample their corpses with their warhorses after stabbing them to death.

If these guys can survive having their skulls crushed and their bodies turned into mincemeat, it only proves that the Griffin Legion is truly incapable of dealing with such monsters.

However, it is clear that even if these lamas are resilient, they are not that resilient; they have not transformed themselves into a Cthulhu-like state.

After the cavalrymen had brutally trampled the lamas to death, the Griffin Legion suddenly realized a problem—they had previously intended to...

He crushed people's heads with his own feet!

They really wanted heads, but they were afraid these guys could survive even with just one head.

When the Griffin Legion cavalry heard from Rock that the lamas' vitality was comparable to that of some formidable Nurgle followers, they couldn't help but act a little too harshly.

In the end, they simply peeled off the human skin masks from the lamas' faces and hung them on the tips of their guns as trophies. After removing the masks, they finally understood why these lamas were wearing such strange masks.

Due to prolonged consumption of elixirs and various modifications to themselves, these lamas' bodies had long since become inhuman, especially their faces, which were truly frightening.

Their skulls and faces had undergone astonishing deformation, long since turning into the heads of some unknown monsters, with all the flesh rotting away, leaving only a bloody, mangled mess of rotten faces.

Clearly, compared to parading around with such a face, lamas would rather have a more attractive face, even if a human skin mask is just as eerie. But it is indeed the most suitable for them, and it also has a sacred connotation in their religion.

Before long, the Kisliv cavalry returned to Shengjing, which had been occupied by the Polu army, and informed Rock that they had killed the group of lamas.

Rock nodded in satisfaction, patted each of the cavalrymen on the shoulder, and said, "Well done, my warriors! Remember this: if you ever see these lamas on the battlefield, be sure to..."

"Take them out as soon as possible; these lamas are the most troublesome ones!"

"They are like warlocks with the blessing of chaos within the Chaos Warband. Whether it's modifying their subordinates or casting spells to bless them, it all needs to be done by the warlocks."

"So if we can eliminate them, it will be much easier to fight other enemies in the future!"

The cavalrymen nodded repeatedly. If you simply explained the lamas and Qing soldiers to them, they might not understand very well. But if you compared them to the Chaos Believers, they understood it perfectly!

Kisliv is on the front line against Chaos, and countless Chaos cultists have perished beneath the spears of every one of their cavalrymen!

Therefore, they can proudly pat their chests and say:

No one knows better than them how to kill Chaos Cultists!

After the cavalry left, Rock glanced at the distance with some surprise, then sent a message to Luo Chou in the lord's channel, reminding the military commissioner:

There's no need to rush the troops now, because Luo Ping has successfully defended Kaiyuan City and even launched a brilliant counterattack, resulting in the death of the Shengjing General in the war.

General Yu Ming of Shengjing never dreamed that his mission to quell the rebellion would be just a routine task with nothing special about it.

In the end, he not only lost his capital city and his army, but also his own life.

In the unremarkable county town of Kaiyuan.

"Hehehe, I'm rich! I'm rich! I wiped out such a main force of the Qing army in one go. I wonder how much reward the system will give me in the final settlement?"

Rock couldn't help but chuckle. Then, he quickly opened the system interface to check his system results after the battle.
