Your war hammer is too fake

As soon as they spotted these outsiders, a group of red goblins (Note 1) rushed over without hesitation, and then the entire tribe was wiped out, with only a few dozen captives being released.

When they were released, they saw the warrior leader of this group of bone sticks, who said to them: "I am Atum, the leader of this group of bone boys! I come to fight you, call your most capable warlord here!"

Then, in order to prove that he was the most capable leader in this area, countless greenskins attacked the camp of the Ka-Sabai Legion, and were killed in droves. This naturally did not scare the greenskins. Instead, when Atum proved how powerful his army was, many notorious greenskin warlords happily rushed over with their boys, and then used their lives to add bricks and tiles to Atum's achievements and reputation.

Right now, the greenskin tribes in the entire badlands are either busy fighting with their own kind, or flocking to the place where it is rumored that a group of super-powerful bone sticks are lurking, wanting to see the legendary "Big Bone" with their own eyes.

Yes, although it has been less than two months since Artum came to the Badlands, he already has a special nickname among the greenskins. After Artum killed half a dozen orc warlords, plus the red goblin warlord at the beginning, the greenskins finally stopped sending heads like the gourd baby saving his grandfather: an orc warlord named Volgaz Ironjaw (Note 2) used physical means to persuade the bosses of other tribes to obey him, and integrated a greenskin army to kill them in a mighty manner.

According to the battle plan that Atum and An Jiyue had discussed in advance, the Priest King could have retreated at this time. There was no point in beating the green skins, and there was no benefit in endlessly entangled with these alien mushroom spirits.

According to the plan, after relying on the roots to teleport around the outer edge of the Badlands and directly appearing in the Badlands, Atum needs to make as much of a name as possible to attract the greenskins to attack, and pin these mushroom spirits whose only purpose of life is to fight in the southern part of the Badlands. When the greenskin army that the Ka-Sabai Legion can't handle appears, or to put it more intuitively, when there is a WAAAGH!!, Atum can use the roots to teleport away.

As for the greenskins who were attracted, Atum said that his Bronze City was at the southernmost part of the Land of the Dead, and if these greenskins were capable, they could break through the entire Nehekhara to find him, since Settra was blocking the way.

After the escape, Atum needs to lead his army to the north of the Badlands. Although the landing location of the floating city is still unclear, its current flight trajectory shows that its destination is definitely somewhere in the north of the Badlands. When it lands, it will be the moment when all the forces plotting against it will step out of the shadows and into the sunlight.

At that time, in order to compete for the control of the floating city, all forces will definitely break out in a big melee, and Atum's task is to seize the floating city from this complicated situation: he can only rely on his own 2.5 troops, and the nearest Sanhe Prefecture will send a flying fleet to support him, and this is all the help that the group members can provide.

The priest king himself didn't care much about this. After all, his army could be resurrected even if it was defeated, and resurrection was almost free, it just required waiting. Since he couldn't die, why not just reap the rewards?

[Group leader #An Jiyue: So, this is why you insist on fighting this battle? ]

[Atum: After all, the greenskins are here, right? ]

As Wolgaz's army gradually approached the camp of the Undead Legion and the Goblin Wolf Cavalry and Skeleton Cavalry were engaged in a fierce outpost battle on the outskirts of the battlefield, Atum did not evacuate as planned, but chose to stay and fight.

On the desolate and yellow land, faint shouts and roars appeared on the other side of the horizon, then gradually approached, becoming louder and louder. At the feet of the tomb warriors, small stones kept bouncing back and forth, but no matter how the earth itself trembled, the shields and spears in the hands of the bronze armor soldiers remained motionless.

A hot wind blew, and the flags of the Bronze City danced with the airflow, making a "rustling" sound. Atum stood in the war sedan on the back of the Sphinx, looking down at his army with his eyes emitting a faint blue glow. The Ka-Sabai Legion was arranged in a formation similar to the one used by the famous Carthaginian general Hannibal Barca in the Battle of Cannae. Fifteen thousand bronze-armored soldiers formed an arc, with the center slightly protruding toward the enemy.

Five thousand archers formed a loose formation in front of the bronze armor army. When the enemy entered the range, they would release a rain of arrows, each of which was blessed by the priests, and would not withdraw until the enemy got too close. A mixed force of two thousand skeleton cavalry and skeleton horse archers was currently fighting with the goblin wolf cavalry around the battlefield. They were also the first troops in the army to come into contact with the enemy and had been fighting until now.

One thousand two-man, two-horse skeleton chariots were on standby behind the right wing of the infantry phalanx. They would charge out when necessary and smash the left wing of the greenskin army like a sledgehammer. Five hundred tomb guards were deployed behind the center formation. They were the reserve troops. If any part of the defense line was breached, they would rush forward.

In addition to the above-mentioned troops, Atum's real reliance is an ultra-standard construct army - the reason why the siege of Ka-Sabai lasted for a whole century and Settra, with a forty-fold advantage in military strength, was unable to capture the Bronze City was not only because of the strong defense of Ka-Sabai itself and Atum's flawless command ability, but also because of this construct army that was given to him by the "Conqueror" Alcadeza in Atum's false memory.

More than 3 Ushabti, hundreds of Netherwalkers, dozens of Tomb Scorpions, Warsphinxes, Bone Giants, three Necrosphinxes and three Holy Titans, and even a legendary Scarab Titan! Only a small number of these constructs belonged to Ka-Sabai himself. The vast majority were entrusted by Alcadizaar himself to his most trusted subordinate, Atum, in the afterglow of Nehekhara civilization.

These constructs are the reason why Atum dared to stay and fight, even though there were nearly 100,000 orcs among the attacking greenskin army.

Chapter 389: Battle!! (Part 2)

The greenskins launched an immediate attack.

There was no rest, no formation, no pre-war speeches - when the greenskins saw the Tomb Raiders, they all gave an excited battle cry. Amidst the roar of "WAAAGH!!", the greenskin army rushed headlong into the well-organized, spear-like Ka-Sabai Legion, spreading across the dry land like some kind of green mold.

At first, the Tomb Raiders army lined up on a gentle slope did not react. This battlefield was carefully selected by Atum. The undead do not need water, food, or even warmth, so the Tomb Raiders army set up their camp on a flat-topped boulder about ten meters above the ground. The camp was surrounded by difficult-to-climb cliffs on three sides, and only the northwest side was a gentle slope.

In the Badlands, where there is not much grass, it is difficult to see forest goblins. Even if there are any, they are foreign mercenaries, which means that you will hardly encounter spider cavalry that can climb high walls as if they were walking on flat ground. In the previous outpost battle, both the skeleton cavalry and the rotting vultures hovering in the sky have confirmed that there are no forest goblins among the attacking greenskins.

Without these annoying things that can climb even the vertical cliffs, the Tomb Raiders firmly grasped the terrain advantage. The army of Volgaz could only attack from the northwest of the camp, while the Ka-Sabai Legion lined up on the top of the gentle slope with its back to the camp, and the terrain would limit the greenskins from taking advantage of their numbers.

This would be a long and arduous tug-of-war - if Atum did not have an army of super-sized constructs. Although undead soldiers will not get tired, and low-level undead can be pulled up on the spot by spellcasting units even if they die, the undead in the Warhammer world have a special weakness: mana loss. To be precise, this is not only a weakness of the undead, but also a common weakness of demons, magic puppets, elemental creatures and other beings that are completely driven by the wind of magic.

Long-range attacks were easy to deal with, but in fierce melee combat, the magic wind used to drive these supernatural beings had a high probability of suddenly losing its restraint and rapidly dissipating at an extremely alarming speed. Once the magic wind was completely lost, all these activities that relied on the magic wind to maintain their existence would naturally be destroyed on the spot.

It is true that even if low-level undead are defeated, the lich priests can cast spells to pull them up again, but the problem is that mana loss either does not occur, or once it occurs, it often collapses a large area, and the orc warlords have always had a beast-like intuition for grasping the opportunity. What's more terrible is that there is a morale bar in some Total War games, which allows you to intuitively see which troops are about to collapse and are about to start burning blood, but there is no such convenient thing in reality.

Once a key position on the battle line suddenly collapses due to the loss of magic power, the greenskins will use this as a breakthrough point to tear open the formation and break down the defense line of the Tomb Raider army before the Lich Priest can pull the people up again.

This is the inherent weakness of the Undead faction. The Undead are the best race in the mortal world at fighting a tug-of-war, no one else. However, the inherent defect of magic loss means that the Undead army may not be able to drag the war into a stalemate. Whether it is the Vampire Family or the Tomb Kings, the two major Undead factions solve this problem by piling up troops and using quantity to increase the fault tolerance rate. Unfortunately, Atum only has so many troops on hand, and the cost of expanding the army is ten times that of other group members.

If a conventional strategy was used, the resurrection speed of the Tomb Raider army would definitely not be able to keep up with the loss speed, even if the Lich Priests were tired to death from overwork. Therefore, Atum did not intend to take the usual path from the beginning.

When the first orc rushed up the gentle slope, a master archer (Note 1) shot an arrow first, and the arrowhead accurately pierced the orc's eye socket. The orc fell backwards, and then arrows all left the bowstrings in one second. The arrows blessed by the priests of Asaph covered the greenskins who were rushing in the front with incredible accuracy. The goblins who were hit by arrows fell down immediately, and the orcs with thick skin and flesh would continue to charge until their injuries exceeded their limit unless they were hit in the vitals.

The skeleton archers remained unmoved, and continued to release arrows in unison until there were few goblins left in range. When a group of wild orcs with war patterns painted on their skin and primitive looks in both their attire and demeanor were less than 30 meters away from the skeleton archers, all the skeleton archers put away their weapons and quickly retreated.

Holding a large shield in his left hand and a spear in his right hand, the Bronze Armored Soldiers, who were much taller than other Nehekhara warriors and wearing thicker bronze armor, stood in silence, facing the shouting greenskins. When the orcs thought that this was the next target of the fight and were about to shout a war cry, the Bronze Armored Soldiers suddenly split to the left and right, and then a particularly large war sphinx rushed out, carrying a huge skeleton covered in golden light.

"Horus!" The big skeleton shouted the name of the War Sphinx under him: "Go!"

The Priest King's exclusive vehicle, which was more than one circle larger than the ordinary war sphinx, started running with its four huge rock feet. Behind it were a full twenty-four war sphinxes, following closely in four columns.

Every goblin who was lucky enough to witness this scene was trembling, and the earth itself was shaking more violently than the goblins. The four-legged constructs made mainly of rock, supplemented by bronze, gold, silver, bones, and gems, rolled over the surging green tide like twenty-five steamrollers, and split the soil like a heavy plow made of fine steel, effortlessly plowing five wet and sticky bloody trails among the enemy.

Without the need to use fangs and claws, the Warsphinx is an unstoppable weapon in its own right. Its size and weight make it far more deadly than a sword or a gun, and the greenskins' counterattacks only create tiny sparks on its rocky body, reminding Atum that his enemies are not yet hopeless and are still trying to fight back.

Most of the goblins hesitated at the sight of the warsphinxes, and only the kind gaze of their larger cousins ​​kept them from running away. The only ones who dared to attack were the red goblins, who rushed faster than the orcs, and of course died faster.

Twenty-five war sphinxes dug deep into the green tide. The greenskins roared and rushed from all directions, and then smashed themselves into pieces like waves hitting reefs. When this level of behemoth reached this scale, the simple advantage of numbers was meaningless, and the appearance of the war sphinx was just the beginning.

Seventeen bone giants surrounded three holy Titans and one scarab Titan, and broke into the enemy camp along the "channel" trampled by the war sphinx. These bone giants, without exception, all held desert bows. A big difference between reality and a certain total war is that equipment can be replaced according to actual needs, and what Atum needs right now is the long-range firepower of the bone giants.

A few giants that the greenskins had tricked in from nowhere fell down with giant arrows piercing their bodies before they even got close, crushing several greenskins to death. Groups of trolls waving sticks tried to rush over, but were then nailed to the ground in bunches by the giant arrows.

Suddenly, dozens of rocks rolled down from the sky, splashing blood and smoke near the rampaging construct army. Atum looked around, but he couldn't find where the attack came from. [Find them.] Through the mental network of the system unit, the priest king ordered the carrion vultures that had been hovering over the battlefield. [Then let the dead sphinx deal with it.]

The king's order was quickly implemented. When the second round of stones came, successfully causing more casualties than the first round, the three undead sphinxes that remained in the camp first ran forward for a distance, and then jumped up. They flapped their slightly small wings and flew into the blue sky, and the shadows cast on the ground passed over Atum's head like a veil.

A moment later, three Undead Sphinxes with blood and scratches on their rocky bodies flew into the construct team in a swaggering manner, and the greenskin artillery never appeared again in the subsequent battle.

Standing in the war sedan on Horus' back, Atum turned his head and looked back. Because there were so many greenskins, even if a considerable number of enemies were besieging the rampaging construct army, these mushroom spirits were still able to allocate a considerable number of troops to attack the camp, trying to overwhelm the bronze armor army's shield wall with numbers.

The priest king left Ushabit, Netherwalker and Tomb Scorpion in the camp. If he could not find the warlord leading the greenskins, or if any other unexpected situation occurred, these constructs would be responsible for helping him withdraw to the camp. In addition, even without these constructs, there were still a thousand chariots and five hundred Tomb Guards in the camp that had not yet been put into battle... although the latter were quite dissatisfied with the king for not taking them with him when he charged.

As Atum thought about the battle situation, he was distracted for a moment. The tactics he formulated for this battle were very simple. The infantry, chariots and some constructs would defend the camp, while he would lead the most powerful constructs to rush into the enemy camp, find the enemy's general and chop him off. As long as the general died, the greenskin army in front of him would collapse immediately.

So where is that guy... Atum thought, and swung his right hand casually, and the bronze sickle sword cut a despicable lurker who tried to climb onto the war sedan in half.

Just as the Priest King was daydreaming, a group of black orcs (Note 2) riding wild boars surrounded a particularly strong warrior. They rushed towards him, carelessly knocking down and trampling on their own kind who were not in a hurry to dodge.

"I think you are just the big-boned one!" The leading green-skinned warrior rode a wild boar, his overbite-sized chin spitting at the Priest King on Horus' back: "I am the biggest, I am the greenest, I am the strongest! I, I, I, I am Volgaz Ironjaw!!"

"Ha!" Atum looked at the guy carefully: "This must be the big one of these mushroom people. It's so green and strong! Even I can smell this strong smell even though I don't have a nose! This must be a strong man who is equally powerful as me!"

After saying that, the priest king jumped down from the war sedan and landed beside Horus. "You bastard! Come here! I am the leader of this group of bone boys, Big Bone! I am going to kill you today!"

……

Note 1: The grassroots officers of the Tomb Kings are all called "Master So-and-so", for example, the captain of the Skeleton Archers is called the Archery Master.

Note 2: Although not in the tabletop rules, there are indeed Black Orc Cavalry in the background. They appeared in the Third Battle of Blackfire Pass and defeated the Imperial army with a very beautiful flanking attack.

The author says:

Author's note: Our local weather bureau issued two weather warnings in a row... The first one was not a big deal, "just" there were landslides in many places on the nearby roads, and a tunnel was blocked by mudslides. It took half an afternoon and a night to dig it through. The second one was more serious. I heard that some people were washed away by the flood, and it is very likely that their bodies will not be found.

The good news for me is that I, who had just been discharged from the hospital for less than a week, would not be on duty at the dike. The bad news is that I have to go to the new store, which is being renovated. Not to mention computers, there is not even a working socket. (Desperate

Chapter 390 Beichen

Zhendan Celestial Empire, Weidong Provinces, Beichen.

The red "sun" hung high in the sky, illuminating this city that had been corrupted by Tzeentch for too long. The fierce street fighting was drawing to a close. The Weidong Tianjun, who were transferred from nearby, surrounded the last few neighborhoods that were still resisting. The sturdy yellow cattle moved their hooves and pulled the heavy cannons to the newly cleared gun positions. Once the heavy firepower was in place, the only solid wall that the evil people could rely on would be turned into dust in the blink of an eye, and would no longer be able to shelter these scum who had fallen into evil.

From the beginning, this battle was closer to "clearance" than "combat". An Jiyue had originally prepared to fight with the Painted Skin Sect, an underground cult that believed in Tzeentch, but when the purification ceremony was officially launched and the corrupted city residents set off a riot that affected the entire city, these minions of the Lord of Change chose to flee.

A small number of altar masters, incense masters, and senior brothers who were directly responsible for managing the lower-level believers were forced to stay by the Painted Skin Sect to organize the believers to fight against the imperial army specially mobilized from other places; the main force of the sect took advantage of the chaos in the city when the riot just broke out and tried to escape from Beichen in many ways.

Some cult leaders tried to use magic to teleport out of the city before escaping, but the spell was countered before it was completed. Not only did the caster die on the spot, but the rest of the people were also swallowed up by the runaway Taixu Yuanli. Some targets took out the fishing boats that had been prepared long ago, and wanted to escape by sea before the dragon fleet blocked the port. As a result, as soon as they went out to sea, they saw groups of Agate Crow People swooping down from the sky, and in the blink of an eye, they were chopped into pieces by the Black Jade Crow Marquis.

In the end, only the third group of cult leaders managed to escape. After sending out two groups of teammates to attract the attention of the imperial army, the real core force of the Painted Skin Sect took advantage of the chaos to approach the city wall of Beichen: just in the early hours of this morning, the first group of Weidongtian troops who rushed to Beichen directly took over the city wall. All people were allowed to enter but not leave. Those who disobeyed the order would be executed!

Originally, it was impossible for this group of cultists to rush out. All the gates of Beichen were equipped with extra troops, and Dan Ding Masters and Si Tian Cheng were dispatched to provide spell support. Once someone attacked a gate, reinforcements would arrive along the city wall within five minutes, not to mention that there were various air forces floating over the city.

However, when the cultists were escorting the leader of the Painted Skin Sect to the city gate, some of the troops guarding the city gate suddenly rebelled and opened the city gate. Although the cultists who infiltrated the Weidongtian Army were quickly eliminated, unfortunately, the cult leaders had already escaped in the chaos. Although the Weidongtian Army immediately sent cavalry to pursue them, and the Agate Crows also sent some to assist in the pursuit, everyone knew that the escaped enemy would probably not be caught up.

Having lost face in front of their allies and outsiders, the Weidong Heavenly Army was somewhat angry and increased its attack on the fallen people in the city. Since the main force of the Painted Skin Sect chose to flee, the followers without a command structure could not organize an attack and could only stay in a solid stronghold and wait for the imperial army to arrive.

During the battle, the Weidong Tianjun sent out a small number of Yugang soldiers to lead a large number of Fengtian soldiers to divide and surround the strongholds one by one, and the elite forces were concentrated to attack those fortified inner quarters that were obviously not recently reinforced. In order to quickly eliminate the opponent and not give these fallen people the opportunity to perform a sacrificial ceremony to summon demons, the Weidong Tianjun decisively deployed three terracotta warrior guards. The speed of the giant Guandao to demolish the wall was not much slower than that of the artillery shells.

The battle lasted from early morning to dusk. The corruption rooted in the city made it difficult for the Weidong Tianjun to be efficient. In some streets and alleys where the corruption was particularly serious, even the buildings themselves were resisting the offensive of the Jade Legion. They either waved their tentacles to whip the ranks of the Jade Warriors, or opened their fang-filled mouths to try to bite the jade legs and feet of the Guard Lions, or spewed foul blood to pour all over the warriors. The variety of tricks was simply eye-opening.

There were many Taixu followers in Beichen. Even if the Painted Skin Sect gave up confronting the imperial army for some reason, these followers could still start a riot and drag the entire city into the flames of war. It took the Celestial Empire's soldiers a whole morning just to retake the city's main streets and defeat the rioting mobs. In the afternoon, they were busy fighting against various tough guys one by one.

Fortunately, it all ended just as the sun was about to set. When the commander sent by Fuzhou, a general named Haotian, walked into the ceremony site with blood all over his body and scratches on his armor, under the vigilant gaze of the Weijing Yi Lancers, An Jiyue, who was standing on the top of the four-story altar, also completed his spell.

In an instant, scenes that had been played out in Praag, Mordheim, Xinwu, and many other places were replayed in front of the people of Weidong. Endless white light spread out from the four-story altar, washing every corner of Beichen. The few core members of the cult who had neither fled nor participated in the riots, and who had been hiding among the citizens under the orders of the leader, let out inhuman screams the moment they were touched by the white light, and smoke rose from their bodies as if they were placed in a raging fire.

"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission." An Jiyue, who did not show any sign of fatigue on her face and was actually not tired, nodded at General Haotian, "In this way, I have fulfilled my promise to the Lord of the Jade Court."

"I would like to thank Governor An," General Haotian bent down and bowed to the girl who had come from afar, "When your Highness returns triumphantly, I will definitely host a banquet to reward Governor An for his contribution."

"All of this is my promise to the Heavenly Court," the Jiedushi waved his hand, "I don't need any additional reward."

"If hatred is not avenged and favors are not repaid, the people of the world will be corrupted and the morale will be lost," General Haotian said loudly, "How the Jade Court rewards An Jiedu for his extraordinary achievements is the Jade Court's business." As he spoke, he glanced at the Weijing Yi Lancers who were responsible for guarding the ceremony site: "I, Weidong, will not guard a warehouse full of gold, silver, pearls and jade, and ask others to help me for nothing."

An Jiyue noticed that the dragon riders holding spears tightly gripped the spear shafts in their hands, and their knuckles turned white due to excessive force. This was not the first time that Weidong's men had jumped the face of Yuanbo's men, and it would not be the last time. The girl did not quite understand why the relationship between the two sides was so bad. If the people who came with her were Miaoying's men, it would be fine. Miaoying and Yinyin's bad relationship was well known, but why did Yuanbo's men also receive such treatment...

"Speaking of which, how long will it take for Minglong to come back?" The girl could only try to change the subject: "With the elite of the giant dragon fleet out, what about Fuzhou's coastal defense? ... Oh, if it's inconvenient, just pretend I didn't ask."

After separating from Yuan Bo, An Jiyue led Jin Zhifan, who had always been inseparable from her, across the central provinces under the escort of the Weijingyi Lancers, and came to Fuzhou, the capital of the Weidong Province and the largest port in Zhendan. Undoubtedly, this is an extremely prosperous city with developed and vibrant commerce, but at the same time, the social atmosphere of the entire city inevitably exudes a flavor of Marienburg.

There are a large number of alien populations living here, and there are also special alien communities. An Jiyue just strolled around the streets and saw many old world humans, dwarves and high elves. The latter two are fine, but many of the former are pirates at first glance, and they can still come out and wander around in a swagger, which makes An Jiyue frown.

The girl suddenly understood why Miao Zhanshuai disliked his younger sister so much.

However, An Jiyue did not meet Yinyin. According to local officials, Sister Hailong suddenly assembled more than half of the elite of the Dragon Fleet and went out to sea not long ago. It is said that they blocked a very large dark elf pirate fleet, with at least three black arks alone. Fortunately, although Yinyin herself was not there, she left someone who could make the decision. After showing the handwritten letter from Yuanbo to Yinyin and the token also provided by Yuanbo, Fuzhou said that they would cooperate with An Jiyue's actions.

"The main force of the Duluqi pirates has been blocked by the navy of our country, and the rest are nothing to worry about," General Haotian replied after hearing An Jiyue's words, "As for the Fuso Japanese across the sea... hehe, they are about to cause chaos in the world, how can they have the interest to dare to come to our Weidong to make trouble? Only the fish monsters are a little troublesome, but we have a plan to deal with them. At most half a month, your highness will be able to deal with those Duluqi and use their six Yang leaders to build a Jingguan to comfort the souls of the people of the Celestial Empire who were killed by them!"

"Not bad," An Jiyue nodded with satisfaction, "very energetic."

As he said this, the Jiedushi turned his head and looked towards the western sky: "It's a pity that I probably won't be able to make it to Minglong's celebration banquet."

General Haotian looked towards the west upon hearing this. In the afterglow of the setting sun, the silhouette of a knight on a giant dragon horse loomed.

The author says:

Chapter 391 The Immortal Emperor Arrives

Somewhere in the southern Badlands.

"...Greenskin, not bad." As he spoke, Atum put the bloody sickle sword back on his shoulder and scanned the surroundings with his eyes emitting sky-blue magic light. When Wolgaz Ironjaw was killed by him, the greenskins who were originally shouting and fighting fiercely collapsed in the blink of an eye, and both the orcs and goblins were running away frantically.

Without the need for the priest king to give orders, the Ka-Sabai Legion switched from defense to offense, preparing to kill as many greenskins as possible. The thousand skeleton chariots that had been waiting for a long time drove out along the passage made by the soldiers. Then the infantry rushed out, waving spears and bows and arrows to chase the fleeing greenskins; even the carrion vultures that had been watching the whole process lowered their flying altitude, ready to take the opportunity to beat the fallen dogs.

All the troops Atum brought, except the war sphinx named Horus and the Tomb Guards, were put into pursuit. Although the Tomb Guards also wanted to fight, their sacred duty as the king's guards did not allow them to act on their own.

When Atum climbed back up the ladder to Horus' back, the tomb guards lined up on both sides of the construct. The gold ornaments and gems on their bodies sparkled in the sun, making Atum a little dazed. "Take that greenskin's head back. I'm going to use it to decorate my showroom," the priest king thought for a moment and ordered the tomb guards, "After you've done this, you can hunt down the enemy as much as you want."

"Your Majesty," a captain of the highest status in the Tomb of the Immortal saluted Atum before saying, "Our duty is to protect you. Compared to this, any glory that can be achieved on the battlefield pales in comparison."

"Do I need protection?" Atum asked. "Cut this thing," he raised the sickle in his right hand and pointed at Wo) Gaz lying not far away, "I don't even need to transform to kill it."

As a legendary orc warrior who started the Third Battle of Blackfire Pass in history, first he took the head of Marius Redolf, the Elector of Iverland, and then almost sent Karl Franz away, Volgaz is certainly not a weakling. It is better to say that this guy is quite powerful. It's a pity that his opponent this time is not just a well-equipped player, and his own strength is really not up to par in this world full of monsters and demons.

Among the existing Lords of the Holy Scripture, except for Bing Ruolan, whose soul was severely damaged and whose strength in normal state was still unclear, only a certain Asur with a mage was considered quasi-T0, and all other group members were serious T0 legendary lords, each stronger than the other. Especially the warrior-type Lords of the Holy Scripture, because the price of warrior-type traits is always much cheaper than that of mage-type traits of the same level, they have a relatively wide distribution of points.

For example, in addition to the usual strengthening traits, Atum's points are mainly spent on his own special abilities and the special mechanisms of the faction: the latter is not mentioned for the time being, the former is a very powerful transformation skill, which can only be used once a day. Atum can transform into a body made of metal with wings on his back (Note 1). In this form, Atum can not only fly, but his physical attributes will be greatly improved in all aspects, and he also has a special ability.

It is worth mentioning that the patron god of the Bronze City of Ka-Sabai is Geheb, the god of earth and strength with a human body and a lion's head. The Bronze City also particularly likes to use lion elements on badges, military flags and other objects. Not only are the helmets of senior officers usually made into the shape of a roaring lion, but even the Ushabit produced in Ka-Sabai has a lion's head... However, Atum's transformed form is an eagle's head and a human body, and the active skill that comes with the transformed state is also a special visual ability.

From head to toe, he looks like Horus. Oh, we are talking about Horus, the eagle of kings in ancient Egyptian mythology, not Horus Lupercal, the wolf god in the next studio.

Although he said "This must be a strong man who is equally matched with me", Atum actually suppressed Wolgaz the whole time, and beheaded him with the last sword, turning Wolgaz into Wolgaz. The Priest King was actually very curious about one thing. During the siege of Ka-Sabai, if Settra had proposed a duel between kings instead of a championship duel, could he have defeated the Immortal Emperor in his normal form? Anyway, there would be no problem in his transformed form.

Settra's strength is more reflected in military strategy, diplomacy, politics, and governance. The Immortal Emperor himself is very strong, but not at the level of T0. He is similar to Dustan, a quasi-T0, obviously stronger than the T1 echelon but not at the level of T0. As for Settra's record of killing Korek in a single fight in the End of Time, the dog group leader said that the blessing given to Settra by the four vendors was not given in vain.
