Chapter 98: Raid

Although Chaos' tactics are a bit dull by the standards of the southerners, it is undeniable that raids are still one of Chaos' favorite tactics. Perhaps Chaos warriors have never read military books and do not understand the term "attacking them unexpectedly" but this does not prevent them from understanding the importance of raids. People who have a little experience in combat (almost all Chaos believers are such people) understand that attacking a group of unprepared enemies and attacking a group of enemies who are in line to prepare for battle are completely different concepts. The difficulty between the two is extremely different.

As a Chaos Warrior, everyone knows what it means to suddenly hear the sound of a trumpet symbolizing the outbreak of a battle without any foresight.

Even Jacks himself is familiar with the sound of this trumpet representing the raid. In the past, when he and Astiana were entangled, this kind of thing happened more than once (everyone admitted that Astiana, the Chaos Lord, is indeed a very difficult opponent). However, every time he heard this sound, Jacks was outside the swamp, at least on the edge of the swamp. But this is his residence, deep in the swamp!

Since he was favored by his kind father Nurg and became the ruler of this swamp, no incident has ever happened that outsiders could penetrate the swamp. This is the specific geographical decision of the swamp. The swamp itself is better than any high city and deep pond, better than all bows and arrows and magic, and even all tricks and strategies. Unless another Nurgre's Chaos Lord challenged him, unless another Nurgre army that could tolerate the harsh environment of the swamp attacked him, Jacks did not have to worry about being attacked in his old nest.

The past years have fully proved this. Even if he fell into Astiana's trap and suffered heavy losses, as long as he could retract into the swamp, Astiana would have no choice but to do anything about him. This is like an invincible shark in the sea, and he can't do anything to climb onto the land.

"Enemy attack?" One of his guards hesitated for a moment and objected to his judgment. "Sir, but...this is..."

It is easy to guess what he didn't say - a person can do it by blowing a trumpet. Although the swamp terrain is dangerous, it would not be outrageous if three or five scouts from three or five enemies found here. This may be a strategy to disrupt the enemy, not a real attack.

Jacks did not answer. The raider moved very quickly. In a short time, a flail was sent to him. Even by the standards of chaos, it was a dirty and ugly weapon. No one would question the lethality of this weapon, because a stream of green smoke visible to the naked eye surrounded the weapon, clearly indicating the effect of the weapon.

"Be ready for battle..." Before Jacks finished speaking, he saw a few Nurgle Chaos Warriors running towards him. None of these people were wearing Chaos Armor, and even if they were worn, they only wore a little.

"Sir..." Before the leader could say anything, a pink flame flew from afar, sweeping through the Chaos Warriors in an instant. The pink flame seemed harmless, but it was far more dangerous than anyone imagined. In just a short time, several Chaos Warriors burned their entire bodies into torches while they howled, and finally turned into a pile of black solids that no longer moved.

"Dimensional Flame..." This word came from Jacks' helmet. This was a spell unique to Tsengchi's wizard. After witnessing all this, everyone's suspicion was wiped out, leaving only fear.

What happened? How did Tsengchi's army come here?

This is not so much an end, but a beginning. Because before the blink of an eye, the entire camp seemed to be covered by crying and screaming. An attack had already erupted in full swing.

There is only a fence outside the camp of this village - a simple fence. As mentioned earlier, hot pot is used to prevent swamp creatures from sneaking into the camp. For an enemy army planning to attack, it is not even a small obstacle. This was not a mistake in the beginning, but now it has become an irreversible disadvantage.

If at this moment, there were also solid walls around this village similar to other Chaos tribes, perhaps Jacks could still try to try whether he could defend the camp. But now, his only choice is to retreat - or escape.

But the Immortal Lord is the Immortal Lord after all. In his life that is far longer than normal humans, he has experienced countless battles. Even though he was a mediocre person, he has long been an expert now. As the saying goes, "A stubborn stone can be carved into jade." He spent a little time judging the situation around him, and immediately waved his hand to his subordinates and rushed towards the direction with the least movement.

As long as he leaves here and as long as he can survive, he will figure out everything and find an opportunity to fight back against the enemy.

But this time the attack was definitely not a point or direction, but a siege from all directions. Jacks walked a few steps away and encountered a group of enemies rushing in - a group of Chaos warriors wearing Chaos armor, white, shiny Chaos armor, and a completely different color from Nurgle warriors.

He immediately entered a melee.

The village was unable to organize a tenacious resistance. On the one hand, they were indeed not prepared at all - who would have thought that they would be attacked by the enemy here? Nurgur's believers had no time to wear armor, and at most they had time to pick up weapons. Some of them were not around and even rushed out with empty hands to fight the enemy, and finally they could only lie regretfully in the pool of blood at the door of their house. On the other hand, the village's poor defense ability - as mentioned earlier, was just a fence better than nothing - allowing the enemy to break through from multiple points without leaving any preparation time.

It was also a pity that Jacks summoned his own guard just now - although he did not intend to defend against the enemy's raids. But he gave him a greater chance. After a fierce battle, the small enemy troops that rushed over were defeated, half of them were killed in the battle, and the other half were defeated and fled. Jacks did not chase him, because although he won a small victory, his subordinates were all lucky, and one guard was even unfortunately killed - his helmet and head were cut off with an axe. Nurg's high-level believers have very tenacious vitality, but this does not mean that they cannot be killed.

After a while, more Nurgle believers gathered around Jacks. This was a spontaneous gathering: when the shouts and hustles of fighting on all sides came one after another, everyone would instinctively seek shelter. A team of teams with complete armors was obviously the best goal. However, the increase in numbers was not very useful for Jacks' team, because most of the people who followed were incomplete armor and were very nervous - this was very common in raids. Due to tension and fear, soldiers tended to escape rather than fight in this situation.

But unfortunately, now they are surrounded and attacked. Escape not only cannot preserve their strength, but will instead cause greater losses to their own side.

The flames had begun to burn at some point - for the swamp residents, their walls built with dirt and stone could not have been burned, but unfortunately, they used thatch as roofs. The spread of the flames further increased the chaos in the camp and increased the attackers' momentum.

With the experience accumulated in his long life, the Chaos Lord judged from this chaos that the number of enemies was not as large as it sounded, and it should be around a thousand people. However, on the one hand, they occupied the convenience of the raid, and on the other hand, their soldiers were all elite (the defeated team of enemies were all Chaos warriors with Chaos Armor), so it was unlikely that they would turn the situation around at this time. All he could do was break through.

The unit he had just defeated was obviously an encircled team. From this point of view, the direction of this team may be the position where the enemy's troops are relatively weak.

Don’t talk about whether there is any problem with this inference based on experience and instinct, but it is also a problem to judge where the team came from just now - no one stipulates that they have to go straight and not arcs all the way, and no one stipulates that the route they escape is the route they come from.

As for how the enemy appears here, for the time being, the Immortal Lord has no time to care about this matter. Anyway, the enemy is coming and launching an attack. If he is still obsessed with thinking about this issue, he will probably never have the chance to think about other things.

"Here!" Jacks finally chose the direction where the team of enemies who had just defeated escaped - that is, the direction they came from. Although it cannot be guaranteed that this direction is safe, at least the chance is better than other directions.

This choice seemed right at the beginning, but they didn't go far. A tzeki magic flame suddenly came from the side and barely passed by the Immortal Lord. The pink flame of destruction directly swallowed up more than twenty believers of the plague fathers.

Then they noticed that a Tsengchi wizard was there, standing on the magic plate, floating in the air high above a man. A steady stream of enemies were passing by the wizard's feet and rushing towards this side.

Damn it! The Immortal Lord whispered a soft curse. He actually ignored these treacherous wizards? He originally planned to rush out of the gap between the enemy's attack, but with the assistance of these treachery wizards who could fly, no matter which direction he rushed, he would inevitably be intercepted by the enemy.

Abnormal blasts can be heard farther away. It is a common phenomenon in battles between wizards. Even if I don't look at them, I know that the advantage of this battle is not on his side. There are only two Nurgur wizards in this village, and Jacks is sure that the number of enemy wizards will never be less than double digits. In fact, even in a one-on-one contest, he has no chance of winning - in chaos, the magic power of Tsengchi wizard is famously powerful.

"Kill out..." He roared loudly, and a rotating storm pillar suddenly erupted from the ground of the battlefield. Its roar almost completely covered up the screams of all the victims. But at this moment, almost all the forwards of his team were destroyed. Although these were just temporary patchwork, the attack made the entire team stop involuntarily.

Then, a wall next to it fell down. A large group of enemies, Chaos Warriors who were wearing Chaos armor and ready for battle, emerged from the other side. The Immortal Lord clearly saw the enemy in the lead wearing a unique armor, which was the high-end magic armor that the Chaos Lord deserved.

After this man appeared, the entire battlefield suddenly calmed down.
