Chapter 673, Luther Harken

Imperial General Alaric opened his mouth. He was half irritated and half helpless. Looking at Fulgrim's disgusting but extremely handsome face, Alaric finally stated his conditions.

"First of all, to save our imperial soldiers, you have to treat them like your own soldiers."

"If they can prove their loyalty and combat effectiveness, I will." Fulgrim nodded in agreement.

"Second..." Alaric was about to say more, but Fulgan interrupted him roughly: "These are two conditions, not one."

"I didn't ask you to agree to this condition. You listen to me first." Alaric insisted, and he continued: "If there are soldiers who want to return to the empire, you must not stop them."

"I will not stop, but I will not provide ships, supplies, and security guarantees." Fulgan replied.

"...In that case, then I will order the imperial army to surrender to you. Remember, we surrendered to you and your Ash Legion, and we did not surrender to the lizardmen!" Alaric hesitated, but still handed long sword.

"Yes." Fulgrim accepted this condition. He took the long sword from Alaric's hand and ignored the imperial general. The imperial army finally began to surrender to the soldiers of the Ash Legion in batches after receiving the order.

"Go out and accept the surrender, and let me be alone for a while." Seeing that the rest of the people did not go out, the imperial general continued, Fulgan's Phoenix Guards were still a little hesitant. She nodded to show that she knew: "Okay, let's go out, and you will be quiet for a while."

The golden mage Karim has a high status in the Legion of Ashes. He is not only trusted by Fulgrim, but also a high-level magician that the Legion of Ashes is in short supply. He is an elemental mage in the sanctuary. The fatal flaw of lacking wizards, so even the Phoenix Guards looked at him differently. Now that Master Jin spoke, everyone stopped talking, and they launched the big tent one after another. Karim took a look at Alaric and withdrew. large account.

Finally, Fulgrim completely accepted the remaining 3,000 imperial troops, including a large amount of supplies, systematically trained imperial soldiers, the few remaining grains, and the remaining 100 muskets, as well as the plundered Part of the wealth fell into Fulgrim's hands. After the Lizardman confirmed that the imperial army had completely disintegrated, the Skink Priest and Fulgrim greeted them, and slowly retreated. Fulgrim sent someone to send more than a dozen boxes Pork thanks.

After taking a while to break up the imperial army into his own army, the head of the Legion of Ashes sighed softly: "Felix?"

"Yes." The general of the hussars came up.

"You and Fernando, go and cremate that General Alaric. You must remember to let his ashes return to the Empire of the Old World and bury him in the Moor Garden when he traded with the Old World."

"Yes!" When Fernando Pirazzo and Felix Edmundovich walked into the big tent, the imperial general Alaric had been dead for a long time. He died of poisoning and left a letter beforehand. , which was signed by Emperor Karl Franz, and left a small bag of gold and precious stones,

As a note, I hope that Commander Fulgrim can find a way to send this bag of gold and silver back to the old world and send it to his family, leaving a contact address by the way.

"Legion Commander, what should we do?" Holding Alaric's relic, Fernando found Fulgan.

"This small bag of gold and precious stones, you just give it to the Hadrian Chamber of Commerce, and let them send it there. As for the letter..." Fulgan opened the wax seal on the letter without hesitation, and he simply browsed Look at the content of the letter.

The content of the letter is very short and scribbled. It euphemistically mentions that Lustria is not as safe and rich as imagined, and it is very dangerous. The plan is not to send people to the new world anymore.

Fulgan understood why the imperial general wanted to leave this letter, he gave Karim a color, and Master Jin understood immediately.

The content of this letter has been slightly "polished" appropriately, and a wax seal has been reprinted. It will be placed in a large chest full of gold and silver treasures and sent to Karl Franz. In front of the emperor's court, as the last "loyalty" of the "dead in battle" imperial general, Fulgen, the sincere and credible leader of the Ashes Legion, delivered it on his behalf.

"Clean up the camp as soon as possible, don't keep troops here, but the camp stays, we won't be back for long." Fulgan gave the order: "Two weeks at most, we should go to solve another trouble."

"The vampire and pirate king in eastern Lustria, Luther Harken."

……… I am the dividing line of sincerity and credibility………

Two weeks later, Lustria, the Predator's Coast, the Predator's Port, inside the stables.

Julius was working hard with a shovel to shovel the dung from the pure-blooded elf horse. Since the pure-blooded elf horse had a big temper and liked to run around, its dung was everywhere, so Julius had no choice. Not shoveling shit after two pureblood elf warhorses all day long.

In addition to shoveling excrement, Ryan's uncle must also find ways to feed the pure-blooded elf horses, clean the stables, and carry buckets to clean the stables. At the same time, he must also solve the problem of breeding pure-blooded elf horses. It was very difficult to take care of the pure-blood elf warhorses who could sleep in the thatch piles in the stables. Whenever they were in the mood, Julius had to take them out for a walk.

Julius was full of complaints at the beginning. He is a dignified expeditionary knight at the pinnacle of legend, the son of a Duke of Brittania, and the first in line heir. He actually became a groom. How could this not make him feel humiliated? and frustration?

However, although Julius is rigid, strict, and stubborn by nature, he never shies away from challenges and tribulations. After the initial discomfort, the expeditionary knight will soon become a horseman who regards the countless trials and tribulations of the Holy Grail expedition as insignificant One of a kind, he gradually blended into this role, when recalling the revelation of the Fairy of the Lake, Julius began to understand the true meaning of the Fairy of the Lake on the third day of becoming a groom.

During the hard work, time passed quickly, and two weeks passed like this. Julius exhausted himself by relying on the breeding knowledge he had grown up with pure-blood elf war horses and learned from noble courts. All the hard work, the degree of difficulty, even Julius is often tired and sweating profusely, because the feed and exercise methods must be changed every cycle during the breeding period, recovery period, strengthening period and breeding preparation period. Julius struggled to make the pure-blooded elf warhorse, who was proud and temperamental by nature, obedient without leaving sequelae or developing bad habits.

After a lot of hard work, Julius finally helped Fulgrim to successfully breed two pureblood elf warhorses.

It was another early morning. Julius put on his dirty sackcloth clothes as usual, and went to the river to pick up two large buckets of river water on his shoulders, brought them back to the stable for later use, and then lit a fire to cook. His Breakfast is milk, bread and bacon, and the meal of the pure-blood elf stallion is soybeans, peas, grass, corn with carrots, and some honey is also added appropriately.

As for the pregnant pure-blood elf mare, the ratio of carrots is greater. Julius carefully added some salt and tropical fruits, stewed the feed into a paste, and then fed it to the mare.

When everything was done, the sky was already bright, and Julius could finally take a breather. He moved a chair and sat in the stable, and saw the two elf warhorses eating food, with their tails hanging straight down and their nostrils drooping. Relaxed, with his mouth open, with a smiling expression, Ryan's brother-in-law judged that the war horse should like these foods very much, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Good job." At this time, Fulgar's voice came from outside the stable, and Fulgar poked his head out from outside the stable, looking at Julius with a half-smile: "I didn't expect that you actually have a groom. talent."

"I will not disappoint the lady's expectations of me." Julius saw Fulgrim appearing, and his face became stiff again: "You asked me to breed your war horse, and I have completed my task."

"That's right, you've completed your task, and you've done a good job." Fulgan still maintained his graceful movements, and his eyes rarely showed a little appreciation: "Very good, not bad, as my subordinate, you will It must be like this, or you don’t do it, if you do it, you do your best, this is the quality that my opponent and my subordinates should have.”

"So, what's your business?" Julius turned pale when he heard this. He is a knight. Does Fulgrim want him to be a groom for the rest of his life?

"Go clean yourself up and put on your armor, I don't want my hall to smell like a stable." Fulgan nodded slightly: "Come to the hall of my house after everything is over, we have a meeting to prepare for the next It's a war."

"……yes."

It took Julius half an hour to take a shower with the remaining large bucket of water, put on his armor and weapons that had been repaired and polished by the dwarf craftsmen of the Ash Legion, and came to the lord's hall. Yes, each of them with a cup of hot cocoa or coffee, obviously waiting for someone.

Seeing Julius come in, Fulgen nodded: "Okay, let's start! Karim?"

"Yes!" Golden Mage Karim stood up, walked to the middle of the hall, and hung a roll of portraits on a large whiteboard: "Our opponent in this war is Luthor Harken, the famous Vampire Pirate King."

Julius frowned, and he carefully observed the task on the portrait. This is a vampire who looks like a human in his forties, with gray-white, straw-like long hair parted in the middle , a captain's cap, a hooked nose, wearing a black and red robe, and an eye patch. His eye sockets are sunken, and the blood-red eyes are full of madness.

"Luthor Haken was originally an officer of the Kingdom of Lamia among the kingdoms of the Nicohala Desert. It is said that he was once an officer under the command of the ancestor of the blood dragon Aibo Wallace and served as the port guard of Lamia. and the bodyguard of the Blood Dragon Patriarch, but it is said that he became a vampire during the series of turmoil in the Nicohala Desert and the Nagash Rebellion, but we don’t know anything about it after that.” Master Jin pointed to the picture on the scroll. Character: "That's him, a vampire pirate."

"The second time Luther Harken was found, he was packed in a coffin and placed on a human cargo ship. At this time, a group of barbarians who believed in Chaos plundered the cargo ship. Yes, the group of barbarians It was the Skogee tribe that was wiped out by us. The barbarians stupidly opened Luther Harken’s coffin and awakened him. After Luther Harken woke up, he awakened all the corpses and wiped out the barbarians. Then he used the cargo ship as his first pirate ship, and since then, he came to Lustria, awakened the corpses and shipwrecked ships in the ocean, and established his own undead fleet."

"Over the course of hundreds of years, with his undead fleet growing and growing in size, Luthor amassed an army of zombies made from the corpses of pirates and sailors he had resurrected from around the world, and their He manipulated the huge fleet of ships gathered during his lifetime, so greedy, he began to focus his attention on the lizardman temple in the forest, wanting to obtain the wealth, secrets, and power left by the ancient saints."

"Obviously, the Slann Demon Toads will not just sit back and watch this happen. A Slann Demon Priest cursed Luther Harken, causing his spirit to suffer a severe blow. His personality split into more than a dozen, and Constantly fighting for control of the body, but even so, he forced his way into a lizardman temple and stole a stone tablet bearing the prophecy of the Old Ones, risking his own sudden death."

"So, our goal is to take back this slate?" Felix raised his hand to signal.

"Not only that." Fulgan stood up, and he followed Karim's words: "Lord Crocker means that we not only want to take back the Old Sage's tablet, but also try to solve Luthor Ha once and for all. Ken's threat."

"What about the reward?" the halfling Hobby raised excitedly.

"One hundred sets of full-body plate armor and weapons with the power of the lizardman gods, as well as all the treasures we seized from Luthor Harken, the lizardmen promise to help us purify them for free." Fulgan stretched out a Root finger: "But we can only succeed, not fail."

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became heated. Julius thought about it carefully for a while, and he took the initiative to ask: "Where are we going to fight Luther Harken? Also, how to ensure that the vampire pirate king Will you be willing to fight us?"

"This is indeed a problem." Fulgrim nodded: "But the lizardmen will assist us."

"Assist us?"

"Well, as we know, Luthor-Harken was cursed by the Slane Toad, and then he was cursed again when he broke into the Lizardman Temple, so his spirit and soul were constantly in endless pain. He was always looking for a way to unravel the curse, and he always believed that there must be a secret treasure of Slann that could help him undo the curse, so..." Fulgan took out a gold-plated baton made of tropical hardwood, and clicked it On the sandy beach of the Vampire Coast in eastern Lustria: "We can artificially bury the treasure provided by the Lizardmen under the sandy beach. This treasure will resonate with the stone tablets of the Old Ones. We have no reason not to believe it, Luther-ha Ken will show up with his undead fleet, there is only one chance."

"Understood." Julius no longer had any doubts: "I will also participate in this war."

"If you also want to join, remember to obey my orders." Fulgan said lightly: "At critical moments, listen to me and swear in the name of your lady."

Julius hesitated for a moment. He thought that the opponent was a vampire pirate, so there was no need to talk about chivalry, so he gritted his teeth: "I swear! But I will not do anything that violates chivalry to fellow human beings!"

"Okay." Fulgrim didn't say any more, he immediately ordered: "Then, follow the plan!"

"Our Legion of Ashes will be on the Vampire Coast, meeting the Vampire Pirate King for a while!"

"yes!"
