"What now? Where are you going?" Knight Fatis asked.
"Go to the Sigma Temple in the center of the fortress. Do you want to go together?" Snorri issued a warm invitation. Who would think that he is not strong enough?
"It's better, Master, I think my identity is as sensitive as yours!" Fatis flicked his beard and made a joke.
Snorri also smiled, thinking that Helmgart was at the forefront of the battle between Bretonnia and the Human Empire. It was unreasonable for a former knight noble to be busy saving the imperial city.
"Woo~"
Knight Fatis put his finger to his mouth and whistled, and Emma, the beautiful silver-white high elf war horse, jumped out of the wall of another courtyard.
Emma lowered her head slightly. Fatis jumped lightly and sat on her back. Watching them gallop away under the moonlight, Snorri shook his head, "Will he find the Holy Grail?" Snorri said to himself Talking to himself.
"Let's go forward! Load the bullets and prepare to fight!" Johnson conveyed Snorri's order.
Two minutes later, the front row of the dwarves had already rushed out of the wealthy area of Helmgart. In front of them was a sea of mammals.
Snorri saw that the square in front of him was full of rats. The rats stood upright and frantically attacked the temple within his field of vision.
In addition, there are many rats that work in small groups to kill residents and plunder property in surrounding buildings.
"Knock down that small building!" Snorri shouted at Johnson Strong Shield. He didn't have a shieldbearer fighting platform, and even if he did, he wouldn't want to climb up on it and become a target in this situation. He needed a high point to observe the battlefield and at least find a relatively reasonable direction of attack.
"Understood!" This is not a difficult task. The small building next to it belongs to a wealthy human businessman. When he and his family saw that the situation was not good, they might have directly ran into the temple to take refuge. The remaining guards and servants died tragically after simple resistance.
Past the staggering corpses of humans and ratmen and the messy interior decorations that had been rummaged through, Snorri came to the balcony on the second floor.
"Telescope!" He began to observe the battlefield through the railings protected by the shield wall of the Anvil guards.
Temples of Sigmar can be found throughout the empire, from the Byzantine cathedral of Altdorf to numerous country chapels. The church in Helmgart was now of medium size, and Snorri thought she could fit a thousand people into it if she squeezed it in.
Snorri was now on the southwest side of the square. He noticed that the rat men's attack was very disorganized, that is to say, there was no focus on the direction, and there were not many elite troops. The limited black-haired rats were driving away the weaker ones by supervising the team, and did not go into battle themselves.
For a moment, Snorri didn't know whether this was because the leading Gray Prophet was inexperienced in commanding, or because Viscount Thompson's defense was so airtight that it couldn't find a chance, or whether the rats were simply besieging instead of attacking, and there were extra strategic goals.
Snorri was caught in a tangle, and he didn't know how to act for a while. As a fortress city, Helmgart is not large internally and does not have much strategic depth for him to operate.
However, the current situation is undoubtedly not the worst. Viscount Thompson must be capable to be assigned such an important position. He was not directly eliminated by the first wave of night attacks, but organized a strong resistance. And retreated to terrain conducive to defense.
"How long does it take to get to Altdorf from here?" Snorri asked the knight Rick beside him.
"If we ride a horse, at the speed of my comrades, we may arrive at noon tomorrow." Walter's voice rang.
"Well, it seems that the mice are the ones who are worried!" Snorri stroked his beard and made a judgment. To be honest, he was not sure whether the knights who went to Altdorf for help could successfully break through.
But even the rescue team of ratmen who came to the nearby dwarf settlement could not completely intercept them, so there was a high chance that things would go smoothly on that side.
Even if the messenger was really robbed and killed on the way, there wouldn't be much time left for the ratmen at such a close distance. Snorri still believed in the smell of Prince William III of Rick.
"Compatriots, I think we should put some pressure on those rats from the outside!" Snorri directly began to issue instructions.
"Glenson, Johnson, you two each lead a team to capture the two buildings next to them, and then Bloxon, you set up a long-range fire network in these three small buildings!"
Snorri's tactics are very simple. The surrounding buildings are in good positions. Arranging gun emplacements on balconies and windows can cover the Temple Square and the entire neighborhood with firepower.
Under the cover of long-range firepower, arranging close combat troops to eliminate the Ratmen one by one in buildings can put pressure on the Ratmen while protecting civilians and reducing losses.
Time is now on Snorri's side. As long as his troops advance gradually, the Ratman will inevitably be anxious and take the initiative to break the deadlock, which also means that there will be loopholes.
After receiving the order, the two dwarf captains quickly pointed out the troops and rushed towards the small buildings on both sides. Johnson completed the task easily, but Captain Glenson encountered several night rats from the Essien clan.
These black-clothed rats hid in the cupboard, trying to avoid the dwarf warriors who invited the Iron-Smashing Warriors in front to sneak attack on the rear team. Fortunately, there were not many of them, and they were killed at the cost of several tribesmen being injured.
Although the first phase of the mission was successfully completed, Snorri did not let down his guard. He stood on the balcony observing the battlefield with a telescope in one hand, and in the other hand he held a rune loudspeaker brought from the settlement area to cheer up the humans in the temple.
"I am the High Prince Snorri Thorson! I have come to support you in accordance with the covenant of Henggu! Hold on, don't worry, my men are solving the rats in the city, and they will protect your families!"
Snorri's words undoubtedly boosted the morale of the humans. Obviously, the prince not only came to support, but also came so quickly, which was beyond Viscount Thompson's expectation.
"Gudu!" Snorri roared a few more times and took out a bottle of beer and downed it. It was quite cold in the winter night wearing armor and blowing in the air.
"I'll go in and take a rest! Call me if anything happens!" Snorri ordered the rangers and then got back into the room.
In fact, as expected by Snorri, the Skaven reacted quickly. The fact that Helmgart had no strategic depth was also the same for the Skaven.
"Dear Goddess' Choice! The rats are acting strangely!"
Snorri stood up when he heard the sound, but his butt hadn't warmed the sofa underneath yet! "Brothers, prepare for war!"
