Latest URL:
Archbishop Vikma - the Resolute, or the Resolute, the Ruthless or whatever, he doesn't really care much himself, wakes up from the aftermath of the war.
He almost forgot the beginning, the course and the result of this war, he only remembered that after the Chaos army was routed and retreated, he checked the seal and restored it intact.
However, the price is still huge. The high priest carefully reached out and touched his face. There was flesh and blood burned by the chaos weapon. Just the touch of his fingertips made the high priest cry out in pain. It was hot and scorching hot. The electric current stimulated his nerves and radiated to his whole body. The countless wounds in the long battle seemed to be burning. Vikmar cursed Charlemagne and cursed you, and then tried to get up.
It seemed that he heard his screams, and soon someone came in from outside. It was Cardinal Wimmer von Gregorich. There were bloodstains, and the armor inside the robe was already tattered. The cardinal limped on one leg: "Your Majesty?"
"Where are we?" Vikmar still faced his subordinates with a harsh and indifferent expression, even if this expression made his wound feel more painful.
"We are now fifteen kilometers away from Talabheim." The cardinal's voice seemed tired, and Wimmer said, "We have the manor owner here who is willing to take us in... One night, we Gathered as many soldiers and monks as possible, the number... not too many."
"Why are you in charge? Where is Pusherok?" Vekmar said coldly.
"His Excellency Cardinal Pushlock died in battle."
"What about Pretel and Conce? And where is Marco Gedek?" The high priest was a little confused, and he regretted it almost as soon as he said it. General Pretel and Cardinal Conce He should have known that he had died fighting on the way.
But the great priest did not correct his mistakes, because he would never make mistakes. As always, he stared at his subordinates with cold and harsh eyes, waiting for the answer.
"They all died in battle. General Pretel and Bishop Conze died in the attack. Bishop Marco Guedek was hit by witchcraft and a throwing ax when he counterattacked. We didn't find his body. , but there are several soldiers who can swear that they saw it with their own eyes." Wimmer said solemnly and sadly.
One cardinal was killed in battle, six out of twelve cardinals were killed in battle, and the rest of Vicma is no longer interested in knowing.
"Where's Alfred?" Vekmar asked the question he cared about: "Alfred Damian Wayne?"
The atmosphere in the room froze for a while, and Weimer opened his mouth. Under the cold gaze of the great priest, he couldn't help swallowing: "Well, my lord, didn't you see it with your own eyes?"
Vikma's mind was very confused. He vaguely remembered the scene he saw with his own eyes at the end of the battle. On the battlefield like a nightmare, with the death of the Chaos warlord, the Chaos army was routing. At this time, Alfred However, he got entangled with a chaotic egg. At the critical moment, he took out a firecracker and interrupted the movement of the chaotic egg to swallow him. fell into the river.
"We searched along the river for a while, but we didn't find his body. If Your Majesty thinks he's still alive, we can..." Wimmer tried to say.
"Enough!" The great priest's furious roar shook the beams, and a large cloud of dust fell: "If this is Alfred's fate, then let him embrace the fate of dying in battle! This is a necessary sacrifice, Human beings have come here for three thousand years! Death in battle is an honor! We will not send men for this! I have lost enough!"
"...Yes." Wimmer was yelled until his eyes stared, and the cardinal said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, everyone is waiting for your next order and caring about your safety.
And... we got a doctor, and he has some ointment for you. "
"No need!" The high priest opened the cardinal's hand, and his rage came faster than lightning: "Faith is the best weapon against injuries, Charlemagne! I know my injuries myself! "
Walking out of the manor, the army of the Justice Church is stationed here. The sky is as black as ink, and the biting and distorted wind blows from the north. Although the snow has melted, the floor is still as hard as steel, not far from the manor. The forest seems to be opening its bloody mouth to the remnant army. Rows of linen are neatly arranged outside the manor, while inside the manor, people are moving around. Almost everyone has scars of different sizes. many people lost their arms and legs, and more people were on crutches or with support, and many people were lying on stretchers and on the ground. After a short confirmation, they were covered with linen and carried Go outside the manor.
There are still more than 1,000 people left in the army of the Justice Church, including about 500 active troops, more than 400 lightly wounded and more than 200 seriously wounded.
That's all.
But it doesn't matter, the soldiers died in battle, the monks achieved the ending they wanted, but there are still people in the empire, the successors of those bishops and knights who died in battle will be selected, the lost army will be rebuilt, and chaos The war will never end, at least today, they are the victors.
"Clean the general flag and raise your head up!" The high priest's voice was harsh and ruthless, echoing throughout the camp, "Don't hang your head down, we are the victors of this war!"
"We will return to Charlemagne's city as victors!"
"Yes!" In the barracks, a neat roar sounded again.
However, just as the high priest was speaking to the army, the doctor who had been waiting to be summoned to apply ointment to Archbishop Vicmar slipped out from behind the manor somewhat disappointed.
Are you a winner?
ha!
I am the only victor in this war!
Manfred von Carstein couldn't help smiling.
Of course, this huge Chaos Legion was brought by Manfred von Carstein from the Chaos Wasteland in the north.
Through this Chaos Legion, Manfred has figured out how the High Priest uses his troops. Archbishop Vicmar's military habits are ruthless, hard, fast, fierce, and accurate, with clear goals and full of courage, fighting to the death Fighting fiercely, the great priest doesn't care about casualties and the feelings of the army, but only cares about whether the goal can be achieved, which can be said to be an extremely fierce command style.
This is the great priest's strength, but also his weakness. Manfred has already figured out that Vekmar's command is more than brave, but his control is insufficient. He is excellent in strategy. When it comes to specific tactical execution, the great priest often cannot control those The ascetic monks are extremely fanatical, so they often focus on all-out attack and strong fighting, and don't like to reserve for themselves to attack hard.
Having figured out the commanding style of the great priest, Manfred knew that it would not be difficult to catch him. The last Vampire Earl couldn't help showing a happy expression again and again, but thinking of his covenant with Akhan, Manfred I couldn't help but feel angry and cursed again.
From Manfred's point of view, Akhan is a piece of rubbish, a fool, a mentally handicapped man with such great power, but in the end he only knows how to be a dog to Nagash!
Although he is also an undead, Manfred believes that he is different from the undead. He is different from Arkhan, the Lich King who only knows how to be a dog for Nagash, and the ancestor of the blood dragon who only knows how to pursue martial arts. Abbot Wallace is different from Neferata, the Blood Patriarch of Lamia who only knows how to pursue pleasure and luxury life, and Usoran, the Blood Patriarch of Strigg who has lost his humanity and turned into a beast, and who only knows how to study Niklach of Magical Mystery is different.
He is different from Manfred. The ability of the undead may vary, but as long as he has the spirit of ruling the world, he is a noble boy, a pure boy, a moral boy, and a person who has escaped from the world. A vulgar boy, a boy who is beneficial to the entire von Carstein family.
Ancestry, grandfather, lineage, father!
Blood Grandfather Vlad von Carstein!
Rest in peace, I, Manfred von Carstein, will make up for your failure in the last step of the siege of the capital of the Empire in the Vampire War, and I, Manfred von Carstein, will inherit Sylvain Ya become the only master here, and I, Manfred von Carstein, will be crowned Eternal Emperor in the Imperial Palace in Brunswick!
Manfred gradually took off his disguise, and the vampire count was already thinking about his next plan. He knew that the covenant between him and Akhan was fragile and dangerous, but under the current bad situation, he could only make a deal with Akhan for the time being. Han formed an alliance to see if he could get the most benefit in the process of resurrecting the Lord of the Dead.
In fact, Manfred knew in his heart that the current situation is not particularly good for the undead. If there is enough room for operation and enough troops in the empire, then Britannia is almost impenetrable. The needle cannot be inserted, and since many failures, the Kingdom of Knights is now a monolith, so it is impossible to talk about capturing the Lake God Witch Morgiana.
Unlike the Great Priest, Knight King Ryan Malcador's command can be said to be a true master of strategy and tactics. In many wars, Manfred has also figured out the characteristics of Ryan's command, that is, accurate judgment, courage but It is more of endless whimsy. After determining the combat plan and formulating the tactical policy, it is not rigid and has a strong adaptability. It is especially unique in its flexibility in investing in reserves and concentrating superior forces. Ryan will be brave, sharp and tenacious in person.
And Ryan's weakness is that he is easy to worry about gains and losses in command, and always hopes to fight a beautiful battle relatively perfectly. Sometimes he may lack the determination to fight to the death in the face of huge casualties, and he is too careful to think so that there are often some flaws in the end of the battle. , the enemy coach can find an opportunity to escape.
The current Britannia is too full of martial arts, and the lake goddess Morgiana stays with Ryan all day long. Even if Manfred and Akhan form an alliance, they really don't want to confront Ryan head-on. .
So here comes the problem, lacking Morgiana as Nagash's resurrection material, Akhan captured the archbishop of the Church of the Goddess of War to replace it, but what to do with the Nagash staff trapped in the La-Messenelle Monastery? That is an indispensable and necessary material, an indispensable part of the resurrection of the lord of the dead Nagash.
Thinking of this gave Manfred a headache.
Let's focus on the most important sacrifice first!
……… I am the dividing line with abundant martial arts………
Just as the army of the Justice Church slowly withdrew to Tarabheim, and the remaining five hundred soldiers and two or three hundred lightly wounded who could still walk were marching as victors, the Kingdom of Knights was also paying close attention to this situation. In the aftermath of a battle, since Alfred's body was not seen, the ending for the patriarch and childhood playmate was "disappeared".
At present, Ryan can only entrust the empire to send people to investigate the situation. The King of Knights has no excuse to intervene in this war. He has nothing else to do except urge the empire to find Alfred. On the contrary, Ryan had to hold on to that woman, Ingrid. This Norscan female barbarian had been holding her son in Ryan's court all day long since she learned that her husband had disappeared in the Battle of Taal Fjord. Making troubles and cursing at the gate, often sitting at the gate and not leaving, crying and scolding, it is not reasonable at all.
This is very difficult. It is impossible for Ryan to really drive her away or lock her up. He can only persuade her to go back and wait for news.
So Ryan was very irritable during this period, and Suria was funny and understanding of her husband's behavior. She simply asked Sylvia and Teresa to accompany him with Ryan's two daughters. Cecilia and Hill are now both He looks like two or three years old, and he naturally inherited his mother's beauty and genes. With his daughter by his side, Ryan's depressed mood is much better.
One day in March, Ryan leaned back in the armchair after finishing his official duties, letting the sun shine on him. The King of Knights closed his eyes and took a sip of hot coffee.
"Ah, I really want to have a villa next to the Black Sea!" The King of Knights leaned on the armchair and said to Suria who was sitting next to him in a bored manner: "In the whole heated swimming pool and picnic manor, treat guests to dinner, everyone What a joy to drink vodka and smoke cigars!"
"Black Sea Villa?" Surya asked with question marks all over her face. Is there a place called Black Sea in Britannia? And don't we already have wineries as resorts?
The female knight quickly realized that her husband was talking strange things again. She smiled and said, "Is it about Ingrid?"
"Well, yes." Ryan smiled bitterly: "I don't know what to do with her."
"It will get better. Didn't Talleyrand go to find out the news again?" The female knight didn't know how to deal with it. Alfred's life or death is the key.
As soon as the voice fell, Talleyrand's voice came from the door of the office: "Your Majesty, there is important news! Patriarch Alfred is still alive!"
"What?!" Ryan jumped up from his chair: "Tell me more, Talleyrand!"
The high-spirited man limped in, holding an open letter in his hand: "Your Majesty, Patriarch Alfred is still alive, he was seriously injured in the battle of martyrdom in the Taal Fjord and was drowned by the river. After rushing to the downstream, Asuryan was on top of him and he did not die, and he caught up with the team of the Justice Church's class teacher in Talabheim!".
"Her Majesty Vicmar greatly affirmed Alfred's fighting will and determination, and he announced that Alfred would be directly promoted to Cardinal!"
"Cardinal?!"
