Chapter 962, The High King's Note

PS: For well-known reasons, the new chapter is not displayed recently, but everyone can comment, I can see it in the background, please speak up, otherwise I can’t write anymore~

A fierce battle destroyed almost all the blocks near the city gate.

Tzeentch's God's Chosen Champion Cha-Zan'ek looked at everything in front of him with a serious face.

Tzeentch's Eternal Watch - The time for Sassoreal to come to the mortal world is limited, two-on-three Although Zanek has the upper hand, as the time for Tzeentch to come to the mortal world is getting less and less, Zanek Unable to take down the three formidable enemies in front of him, the cunning, treacherous and god-chosen champion will naturally not sit still.

Three powerhouses, three sanctuary powerhouses.

The Butcher King from Karak-Kadrin of "Butcher Fortress", Agrim, the high-ranking powerhouse in the sanctuary-Iron Fist!

The female czar from Kislev, a mid-level powerhouse in the sanctuary, Katarin Alexeyevna Romanov!

Come to Athel Loren Wood Elves King Queen Ariel's God-Chosen Champion, the first-level strongman in the Sanctuary, Alaros-Hero!

All three of them were wounded, and Araros was the most seriously injured. The brave man was worthy of his name of bravery, and he was still fighting even though he was soaked in blood all over his body.

"Time to leave..." Zan Aike knew that the situation was not good, he said silently in his heart, the champion of Tzeentch's Chosen had many ax wounds, knife wounds, frostbite and more than a dozen arrows stuck in him, he raised his hand, The power of chaos on Tzeentch's twisted staff soared, and a crystal labyrinth enveloped his location.

The Eternal Watch of Tzeentch - Sassoreal was a little surprised by Zane'ek's choice, but it didn't say anything after all. The repulsion from the mortal world was getting stronger and stronger, and the wind of chaos was weakening. The big demon nodded, Then disappeared into the mortal world.

After paying a heavy price, the Tzeentch Legion still failed to capture Bekafin. As Zanek chose to retreat, the Chaos army was defeated and retreated to the north.

Backed by the army of Butcher's Castle, Beccafin held and Ostermark was saved.

However, the price is heavy.

In the defense of Bekafin, Ostermark lost 28% of the adult males in the entire province, and what they won was nothing more than the time of dying.

Victory is short, darkness is eternal.

After the war, the capital of Ostermark is now full of ruins, full of smoke and flames, collapsed walls, and corpses everywhere. The Chaos Legion has retreated.

The mess that can be left still requires everyone to spend energy to solve it.

Many civilians and soldiers were weeping in the ruins, some of them rejoiced and cried with joy, some of them were sad, they wept for the death of their relatives and friends, and what’s more, they cried when they saw the corpses all over the ground. The death of the rabbit means the sorrow of the fox.

Others cry because of pain.

Since Ostermark formed a tribe, the people here have been fighting endlessly. The Ostermark people have been using their lives to protect their villages and homes. The endless wars have made Ostermark truly pure. The local aborigines have died out, and the remaining residents are actually a group of bastards (no derogatory meaning) mixed with blood from all over the empire and even Kislev. The eternal war has made people here feel painful, and many people have just grown up. The coffin is already made.

Death is part of life.

Too much pain, but that's part of life in this dark world.

The Elector of Hertwig led the elite troops of Ostermark, the famous Knights of Eternal Light and the Death Skull Army. A lot, the former lost more than a hundred knights, which was quite traumatic for a knight order with only a few hundred people, and the death skull army also suffered more than one-third of the casualties.

Beccafin was defended, and everyone looked at each other in silence. The Kislev white army guarding this side of the city wall had already been defeated, and they relied entirely on the supervising team to maintain a little front. Hertwig thought that this group of white troops had been defeated. The Chaos army was terrified, and most of these people who survived the catastrophe might not have the courage to go to the battlefield again.

"Your Excellency the Butcher King, thank you very much for your help. If it weren't for your support, we really don't know how to defend Beccafin." Elector Hertwig said to the dwarf warrior.

This dwarven warrior is none other than Argrim Ironfist, King of Karak-Kadrin and King of Slayers.

Karak-Kadrin is a famous dwarf butcher's castle. The first generation of butcher king Dago suffered a great change a long time ago, which led him to take the butcher's oath and seek a glorious death. No one knows what the change was, but most scholars believe that It was because he didn't protect his daughter well, causing her to be eaten by the dragon.

Paradoxically, there is a serious conflict between the Butcher's Oath and the King's Oath. The former is to renounce all existing responsibilities and obligations and seek an honorable death, while the latter requires the king, as the guardian of the kingdom and the city, to carry Responsibilities and obligations.

Dago, the first butcher king, wandered between two contradictory oaths. Seeking an epic death and governing the country always conflicted with each other. In the end, reason prevailed. He found a way to maintain the balance. The people of the kingdom donated generously and worshiped these hated butchers, and soon Karak-Kadrin became the recognized headquarters of the butchers, named butcher's castle.

Afterwards, the kings of Butcher Castle were called Butcher Kings. Most of these kings wandered between honorable sacrifice and taking responsibility. Due to their responsibilities as kings, they could not seek an honorable death, so the Butcher Kings chose to vigorously fund and support the cause of butchers. To show his butcher oath, all dwarven butchers can get free board and lodging, blessings and equipment repairs when they go to Karak-Kadrin. In this way, the butcher king curve fulfilled the oath. The flexibility was praised by all dwarves, and the status of Butcher King and Butcher Fort was established.

The current Butcher King is Agrim-Ironfist, who is widely regarded as the best butcher and greatest general of the dwarves. He once led an army to kill the green-skinned warlord Nasrak and rescued the dwarf High King who was captured with a broken leg.

Killing such a terrible warlord as Nasrak undoubtedly saved the kingdom of the dwarf high king and won the eternal gratitude of the people there. A dragon cloak made of Scar's skin was given to the Butcher King, symbolizing his status, glory, and friendship between the two parties.

After he learned that Ostermark was under siege, he hesitated for a while whether to take the risk to send troops to support it. After all, it is well known that Butcher Fort is hardly without any worries.

Agrim-Iron Fist finally made up his mind to come, and brought his army of Butcher's Castle.

"Welcome too, warrior, uh, wood elf warrior, what's your name?" Elector Hertwig immediately asked Alaros who was standing aside.

"Alaros - the hero." The antler helmet on Alaros's head shone with green light, dazzling everyone. The wood elf hero returned to the old world after several years of expedition. As soon as he received Lilith's message The oracle couldn't wait to appear: "I came here under Lilith's order to kill the evil of chaos and fight to protect the old world."

Elector Hertwig frowned, thinking to himself that this guy is really a wood elf? How do you say it so nicely, so high-sounding?

In the old world, apart from Knight King Ryan Malcador, who can treat the wood elves with courtesy, I haven't heard of this group of stubborn and isolated guys who can have a good look at anyone? Occasionally, many wood elves came out to serve as mercenaries, and each of them had a terrible temper and a terrible mouth.

"In any case, as long as you can stand with us at this time, those who fight with us are friends." Katarin came out and said a scene, and the female czar said to Alaros: "Thank you for your support, I am very grateful .”

Yes, this is the taste!

Elector Hertwig felt comfortable now.

"I said, I'm here in the name of Lilith, what does it have to do with you?" Alaros looked arrogantly at the Queen with the whites of his eyes, his face looked a little sallow under the green light : "Well, there are always some odd allies in dark times."

"In short, everyone, thank you for rescuing Beccafin. Now that the enemy army has temporarily retreated, please come in and discuss in detail what to do next." Elector Hertwig said.

Everyone didn't have too many opinions. The Chaos army had just retreated, and there were too many problems waiting to be resolved.

Butcher King Agrim-Iron Fist looked at Bekafin's miserable appearance and sighed. As a Butcher King, he had seen too much sorrow and sacrifice. Thinking of this, he lacked any good looks towards the Queen. In his opinion, the most important thing Katalin should do is to die a glorious battle in Zedevka.

After thinking for a while, Agrim Iron Fist secretly took out a small note from his body. It was a small note recently sent by the Supreme King Thorgrim-The Grudger. On it were some names and numbers, as well as There are some symbols, the first being a scroll of parchment, the second a dove holding an olive branch, and the third a crossed ax and hammer.

Butcher Wang secretly retrieved it.

Emperor Karl Franz, 654

Marshal Rick Curt Helberg, 005

Archbishop Vicmar, 315

Countess Emmanuel, 552

Boris Todbringer, 534

Marius Reiterdorf, 444

Tsar Katharin 321 (the last number was originally 2, but was changed to 1)

…………

Knight King Lion-Malcador, 666 (the High King has an asterisk next to the last 6)

Queen Suria of the Knights, 543

Morgiana, Witch of the Lake, 434

Duke of Berhemond, 016

Duke François, 635

The Butcher King searched around among these names, and finally found the name of Ostermark Speaker and Elector Hertwig Wolfram. It can be seen that 433 is written behind the name.

"It's pretty reliable." Agrim Iron Fist muttered a few times, and stopped talking.

The next thing is quite simple. Here we omit a lot of quarrels and accusations caused by different races, different languages, different habits, different personalities, and different styles. Bekafin temporarily formed the Empire + Kislev + Butcher Fort The coalition formed by the short, after many losses, added up to about 60,000 to 70,000 people.

Regarding how to use this army, the commanders are also roughly divided into two factions, namely the soil guard faction and the combat faction.

The Land Guard faction is headed by Elector Hertwig and Queen Katarin. They advocate that the current primary goal is to consider defending the land first. The Chaos army has only retreated temporarily, and no one knows whether the enemy will make a comeback.

Of course, the two considerations are different. The Elector of Hertwig is more concerned about how to solve the large group of refugees in the province and fulfill his responsibilities, while Katharin hopes that this army can help her recover Kessler Husband, the two goals are currently the same.

Alaros and Agrim Iron Fist advocated immediate support to Ostland, and they came here for this.

The two sides can't stop arguing.

All that came was that another heavy snow fell on the gray land in Ostermark.

……… I am the dividing line of heavy snow………

The news of the victory of the Battle of the Three Kings of Mildenstad gradually spread throughout the empire, and people rejoiced for such a brilliant victory. The victory of the coalition led by Britannia and Midden greatly reduced the pressure on the empire. At that time, the lifting of the siege of Bekafin was even more good news, giving the imperial people the confidence of victory.

Inside the Imperial Parliament, the Emperor Karl Franz is listening to the report of his chief spy and intelligence chief Amadeus.

"Now the main reinforcements in the empire are divided into three groups: the first is the army led by Ryan and Boris. This army is moving towards Hawke to recover Herzig. After Hou Eidbrand-Ludenhof's army, numbering about 81,000 men, they are about to confront the hordes of Chaos."

"The second is Bekafin's coalition army, which has about 67,000 people. However, except for the more than 2,000 dwarf army in Butcher Castle, most of the human soldiers are poorly equipped, lack training, and lack food and firearms. Their combat effectiveness is very low. It's useless."

"The third is the 65,000 imperial reinforcements led by Field Marshal Rick Helberg and Flag Officer Ludwig, as well as Grand Marshal Erstein and Judge Theodore Nuer. This army is enough Powerful, carrying a large number of firearms, and a large number of members of the Knights joined in, we sent the Rick Guard and the Brunswick Honor Guard, and Lady Emmanuel was also reluctant to send the Nur Iron Armored Army out." Ama Des said to the emperor: "This army is now approaching Talabheim."

"It's too slow!" The emperor felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles while sitting in a comfortable armchair. Emperor Karl Franz said impatiently: "It's too slow, send someone to inform Helberg that the march must be accelerated before the Chaos army." Get there before Wolfenburg!"

Steward Amadeus fell silent.

According to the information from the front line, Black Iron Motkin ordered the massacre of all Osterlanders. No one can count the exact number, only know that besides the Osterlanders who fled south, Wolfenburg has gathered more than Three hundred thousand people took refuge here.

Except for Wolfenburg, Osterland is now almost a no-man's land, and chaos has passed, leaving only blood and killing.

"Your Majesty, we all know that this army has been assembled in a hurry. The assembled troops come from various provinces and various noble territories. Some are recruited and some are recruited. This has caused countless problems in the command and management, and the situation is far away. Food, I’ve exhausted myself.” The chief spy said in a low voice, “If the forced march encounters an ambush…”

"I'm not referring to this problem!" Karl Franz frowned. Just asking the nobles to send troops, money and raise food and grass had almost exhausted the emperor's energy. It is precisely because of this that they are arguing, he knows that the scale of the chaos invasion is so large that the empire needs everyone to unite to tide over the difficulties.

The nobles of the empire are naturally aware of this reason, but what they say is that they are unwilling to accept excessive conscripts. This is not to say that the military nobles of the empire, like some guard officers in Ryan's previous life, have the habit of eating empty salaries and drinking soldiers' blood, which does not exist. Yes, everyone in this world knows the importance of the army, but because of this, the nobles are unwilling to hand over the army.

The army is handed over to the emperor to go north to fight against chaos, who will protect us?

This is different from Ryan and Boris. Ryan's prestige as the knight king has broken through the sky. He said that all knight nobles must come to join the army obediently, not to mention the good opportunity to make contributions and the relatively gentle recruitment method. Northern knight nobles They are eager to make contributions.

Middenheim is under the dictatorship of Boris and the White Wolf Church. In addition, White Wolf City is under military control all year round, so it is naturally easy to gather a large army.

Karl Franz couldn't do it. It would take a lot of time for the emperor to raise a large enough army.

In fact, until now it was not completely clear whether it was Field Marshal Rick Helberg or Generalissimo Erstein as the coach, so the army set off hastily.

"We have to move faster!"

"Otherwise, all the imperial people will feel that only the northerners and Brittany will fight!"
