The old world, Brittany, late autumn, gray mountains, outside the Blackstone stronghold.
The army of chivalry camped here.
After half a day of bloody battles, the knights and serf infantry regiments were exhausted. The army chose to camp here to rest, store the corpses, and bury the remains properly. Most of the remains of the knights will be cremated, and their ashes will be placed in the Moore Cemetery Go to the burial, the power of Moore, the god of death, will protect them from being disturbed by the magic of the undead. The serfs are not eligible for this, and they will be buried on the spot.
After the war, the human infantry were very tired, and most of them were leaning and lying weakly, chatting without saying a word, and eating.
Humans are tired, dwarves are not.
Belegar-Hammer, King of the Eight Peaks dwarves, boasted triumphantly of how he and his army had decided the battle and turned the tide of the battle, and the dwarves gathered together singing and drinking barley wine , celebrating the victory, singing the names of the three main gods, Granni, Grimnir and Valaya.
They are about to have a new home. After countless years of exile, the Angrund clan finally has a new base!
After Belega's inspection, the facilities in the Blackstone stronghold are complete, and many organs and devices left by the dwarves can still be used. Kemler just used the Blackstone stronghold as a foothold, and he did not dig deep and explore the depths of the fortress. place.
Now, the countless gold and silver treasures piled up inside belong to this army. The treasures in Longyan of the Eternal are countless, and the gold and silver treasures as high as mountains fill the entire palace. The ore lode, according to Belega's words, is the capital for their future counterattack on Bafeng Mountain.
According to a rough estimate, the gold and silver wealth stored here exceeds 50,000 kronor.
Ryan ordered that no one should directly use these gold and silver treasures. As one of the strongholds of vampires, these treasures are more or less stained with traces of vampire corruption.
Bellega patted his chest and said that there is no problem. He will summon the souls of many ancestors of the Angrund clan to use a large-scale sacrificial ceremony to purify these gold and silver treasures. , the Bretons VI.
Money is touching, and many knights have objections to this method of sharing accounts. Many knights believe that the military expenses, military rations, and maintenance expenses in this war are all paid by Brittania. We attacked the Blackstone stronghold to find you In the base area, now these dwarves will be divided into 60% of us? !
That is a huge wealth of more than 50,000 gold crowns at the most conservative estimate!
At least give us 80%, right? !
The opinions of the knights were suppressed by Francois and Ryan. Without these large-scale sacrificial rituals of these dwarves, how would we use these gold and silver treasures corrupted by vampires? Leave this trouble to the dwarves, who are happy to count these things anyway.
The Cavaliers are not qualified to question the decision of Ryan and Francois, especially under this victory, everyone can only agree.
In the evening, the commander-in-chief of the Chivalry Army and the king of the Angrund clan came to the big tent to have dinner together. By the way, a meeting was held. The victory of this war made Francois feel very good. In the big tent, the goose-yellow magic Under the chandeliers and candlesticks, the Duke himself laughed heartily, and took the initiative to talk to Bellegar on a rare occasion: "Thank you, Your Excellency Bellegar, if it weren't for you and your army, it might be difficult for us to win this brilliant victory."
"Oh, you all want to thank the dwarves. With the help of the dwarves, victory will come naturally." Bellega, who was sitting on the raised bench, also raised his large beer glass, and François' glazed feet Cup clash: "Of course, you still have to thank Ryan for his request,
This victory would not have been possible without his earnest and sincere appeal to the dwarves! A dwarf is not someone who just helps out~ I was also moved by his sincere attitude, so I gave him this face. "
All the knights present smiled unnaturally, thinking that this dwarf is really shameless.
Forget it, for the sake of the power of the dwarf artillery and the victory, the knights didn't bother to argue with Bellegar.
The leaders of the chivalry army knew the great contribution of Belegar and his Anglund clan in this battle.
Why did the great undead wizard Heinrich Kemmler choose to go out to fight a field battle with the allied forces of human dwarves instead of sticking to the Blackstone stronghold?
It is precisely because of the existence of dwarven cannons that the dozen or so dwarven cannons and organ guns made by the Angrund clan have become the big killers in the siege, and there is also the existence of the dwarven musketeers.
The undead don't have long-range weapons, so stick to the Blackstone stronghold? How to keep it? Sit and watch the city walls being bombarded by dwarven cannons and organ guns like targets, and then lined up on the walls to be shot by longbowmen, rangers and dwarven thunder musketeers?
If this is the case, Ryan and the others will laugh. The artillery and ammunition that Ryan reserves can continuously bomb the entire Blackstone stronghold for three days and three nights without stopping. He has been preparing since the beginning of the year.
Kemmler and Matthew Bard knew that their choice of defending the city would be desirable for the human dwarf coalition forces who are good at siege and tunnel warfare, and fighting in narrow terrain. Forced to choose a decisive battle out of the city.
The dinner was very sumptuous. Bucket after bucket of various grains, meat, vegetables, fruits, and seafood were delivered to the big tent and cooked deliciously by the army chef.
After toasting each other and having a full meal, the knights began to discuss business matters. Francois put down the wine glass: "It's a pity that Kemler couldn't be completely killed today. We still have one more battle to fight. We can't let Kemler go." Le and his Legion of Tombs continue to roam the lands that the Lady has given us! He and his story must come to an end in this land once and for all."
All the knights nodded, and everyone was a little silent. In order to fight against Kemler and his ancient tomb army, the knights paid too many sacrifices.
"That undead Chaos Warrior is really strong. I don't know where Kemler dug up such a powerful Chaos Champion corpse and the corpses of a group of undead warriors, but we still need to find a way to defeat those undead warriors. "Kalad sat in the middle of the left side of the round table, and he took over the conversation: "There is no way to deal with those undead warriors. If you want to win the victory, you may have to pay a huge price."
"Jeffrey also died in battle." Anthelm said in a low voice.
"The Undead Warrior of Chaos, the Duke of United and Earl Ryan cannot take it down. Unless we ask for the support of His Excellency Berhemond or even His Royal Highness the Green Knight, I cannot think of any way to defeat such a powerful enemy. "Sir Gerald focused his attention on Gul.
"The whereabouts of His Royal Highness the Green Knight have always been mysterious. His Excellency Bohemond led the Brotherhood of the Red Dragon Knights to deploy defenses on the border of Bastogne, blocking the way for Kemmler and his Tomb Legion to enter the Bastogne Plain. Road." Duke of Montfort Falcade followed up.
"The army is exhausted. Whether it is the knights or the soldiers, they have all experienced a great battle. We have many wounded who need to be resettled. For the time being, we still need time to rest." Ryan followed up, frowning: "We can't catch up with the undead, it is impossible to follow Kemler is wandering around in the mountains of the Gray Mountains, and we have to figure out where Kemler and his legion might flee... By the way, I suggest that we immediately seek help from Her Majesty Morgiana and ask her how to deal with the situation we encountered. Arrived strong enemy."
"Your Excellency Ryan's suggestion is pertinent, and I second it."
"Seconded."
"I also agree."
All the knights agreed, and Bellegar also shouted: "Yes, you humans have to think of a way."
The waiters carried out the cutlery and food scum, and cleared the table. Only Bellegar was still eating and drinking. Everyone was used to it, and the dwarves had always been able to eat.
A huge map was placed on the table, and Francois, Ryan, Forkad, and Anthelm gathered together. They carefully identified the strongholds and human settlements along the Gray Mountains, and discussed Kaim Where Le might attack next.
"After heavy losses and injuries, Kemler and his Tomb Legion have one last chance left. If he fails again, the only thing waiting for him is destruction." Francois stroked his goatee, he The golden beard has just been recombed, and it is very beautifully groomed. As the Holy Grail Knight and Sanctuary Grand Knight, he doesn't feel very tired: "Therefore, there is only one chance. Where will he attack?"
"Will he return to Guisoleaux?" said Fulcade, Duke of Montfort, "The Duchy of Guisoleaux has a complex territory, with the Pale Sisters Mountains in the north, the Gray Mountains in the east, and the Arden Forest in the west. In this case, he can easily hide."
"Or, he may choose to join Musilon's black knight." Callard also expressed his opinion, and he said seriously: "They may also withdraw Musilon."
"Hmm." Francois was also thinking about where Kemler might have fled, and he gradually had an answer in his mind.
The big tent fell into silence for a while, and everyone put forward various possibilities one after another. Some knights even thought that Kemler would try to escape to the Empire through the ax-bite pass, or go south along the Gray Mountains and escape to the Athel Loren Forest. Tyrell.
After discussing with no results, Francois raised his head and asked Gerald, "How long do you think it will take to rest before starting?"
"The army needs to rest at least until the morning after tomorrow, otherwise the soldiers and knights will not be able to recover from the battle, and the horses also need to rest." Gerald replied.
Francois looked at the sky outside the big tent. The moon was full in the sky. Duke Winford knew Kemler, his old opponent. Through analysis, he had already deduced where Kemler would go.
He turned to ask Ryan: "Lion, how long will it take to contact His Highness Morgiana?"
Ryan took out a jade round cup from his arms: "Now."
"Very well, then we will break camp the morning after tomorrow and head to La-Messenelle Abbey!" Francois waved his hand, and there seemed to be flames burning in his blue eyes: "We will meet with Cam there." Let's fight it out!"
That lunatic, he'd be desperate.
That's right, father's enmity, our family's enmity, Kemler and I's 20-odd years of grievances will come to an end there!
The place where all wars begin and originate, La-Messenelle Abbey, will also be the place where Kemler ends.
"Yes!" All the knights answered loudly.
"Ryan, I will leave it to you to contact Her Majesty Morgana!" Francois continued.
"Understood!" Ryan nodded.
"The meeting is over!"
