Chapter 426, Trading
Kemmler's Tomb Legion is more than ten times larger than this Chaos Warband in number, and the entire Chaos Warband surrounded this group of undead.
Under siege from all directions, the Chaos Champion Hagrot-Butcher, who led the Chaos Warband, howled and ordered the barbarian looters to fight quickly. About 800 barbarian looters abandoned the excavation site, and they waved their battle axes. Under the order of the chaotic champion, he rushed towards the undead army.
The combat power and individual quality of the barbarian soldiers are much higher than that of Kemler's ancient tomb army. Each barbarian soldier needs at least five skeleton warriors to deal with it. They shouted the name of the evil god they believed in, and joined the battlefield wave after wave.
This warband of Chaos came here from the brass stronghold of the Empire through the Drakwald Forest. When the name joined the battlefield, all the barbarian marauders felt the power of the scarlet blood god.
The spears of the Skeleton Legion were torn apart in front of them, and the shoddy sword shields of the Skeleton Legion were snapped and shattered in front of them. At first, the barbarian marauders penetrated deep into the Tomb Legion, once approaching Kemmler's place. place.
The great necromancer didn't respond, and Kemler sat firmly in the middle of the army without saying a word.
The fierce offensive of the blood-red tide gradually became unsustainable. When Chaos champion Hagrot-The Butcher approached Kemler, a group of troops wearing heavy armor and holding halberds appeared. Their halberds finally stopped Chaos. The footsteps of the war gang.
It's Kemmler's Grave Guard Legion!
Facing the heavily armored Grave Guards, it was difficult for the Chaos warband to conquer in a short time. On the contrary, the tide of undead like a flood gradually trapped the warband completely. Every barbarian marauder found himself facing at least six The undead above, those crudely made blades and rusted spears struck from all directions, and the dead barbarian marauders were awakened by Kemmler's spells to become new Grave Guards and skeletal warriors.
The undead were fighting more and more, Chaos Champion Hagrot-The Butcher howled and found that his army was being overwhelmed, but Khorne's will could not be violated, he opened and closed the battle ax in his hand, and cut down several grave guards in a row. , Hagrot found that the undead he cut down did not die, they just lost control temporarily. When Kemler recovered and continued to cast spells, these undead quickly recovered and returned to the battle line.
Hagrot roared angrily. He kept approaching where Kemmler was. Behind him, the barbarian marauders gradually fell, and the tomb ghouls and tomb goblins rushed into the crowd of marauders, wantonly Attack, throw them into the air, or stomp them into a pulp.
Unknowingly, Chaos Warband soon left him alone. The undead could not shake Hagrot's strong Chaos armor, but Kemmler ordered them to slaughter the group of barbarians, and they did. .
"Coward! Face me if you have the ability!" The chaotic champion raised his battle ax among the thousands of troops, and pointed at the undead archer standing not far away.
Kemmler's answer was cold and desperate, and he raised his staff: "The gaze of Nagash!"
The eyes of the necromancer shot a purple-red icy light, which passed through the entire undead army and hit the champion of chaos. Hagrot retreated several steps in a scream, and a big hole was burned through his chest.
To make matters worse, the stone mound ghosts and ghost knights also joined the battlefield. Those cursed spirit scythes finally tore apart Hagrot's chaotic armor, and blood flowed from the broken gap of the chaotic armor.
Frozen in icy lakes above the Gray Mountains.
Several scythes were pierced into the Chaos Champion's body, and a filthy heart was sliced out by the Bound Knight, dedicated to the always silent Heinrich Kemmler.
Kemmler didn't even look at the heart. This was just an insignificant victory for the long life of the great necromancer. He waved his hand to signal the undead to push them away, and continued walking towards the frozen lake.
The cold wind on the top of the mountain is blowing, blowing over the perennial snow in the gray mountains, blowing over the perpetually frozen ice on the surface of the frozen lake, blowing over the corpses of barbarian predators, and blowing over the frozen lake. tomb.
That was what Kemmler was looking for, Gul's tomb.
Who is Gul?
He used to be the king of the northern barbarian kingdom, the champion chosen by the four gods of chaos at the same time. Before Charlemagne was born and established the empire, Gul had led the Norse tribes to complete the formal unity and established a A powerful barbarian empire, and became the king of the barbarian empire. He was once the chosen god of Khorne, commanding the tribe that believed in the blood god, and the other three gods also received enough respect from him.
Much like "Red-Eyed" Egil Steelbjorn that Lane killed.
The barbarian empire in the north quickly attacked the dwarf kingdom in the south under the urging of the evil god. During those dark years, the dwarf kingdom not only suffered heavy losses, but also faced the attack of earthquakes, green skins and ratmen. Pi signed the covenant, captured two dwarf fortresses in one fell swoop, slaughtered thousands of dwarves, and his name was written into the book of hatred by the dwarves several times.
But when attacking the dwarven kingdom of Karak-Kadrin, the barbarian king was defeated by the dwarf hero Grimmbur-Iron Helm and was killed on the battlefield.
Gul's men frantically recovered his body and buried him in situ.
Fifteen hundred years have passed, the rise of mankind, and the establishment of an empire under the leadership of Charlemagne. At this time, Nagash, the lord of the dead, woke up. When Nagash came to the old world to find his crown of witchcraft When he accidentally discovered Gul's tomb, the lord of the dead was overjoyed, and immediately used his powerful undead magic to awaken the champion of the four gods of chaos, became his servant, and let Gul command half of his army , leading the undead army to face Charlemagne's empire and the coalition of dwarves.
This is the Battle of Riker River.
At the end of the battle, Nagash, the lord of the undead, was unfortunately approached by Charlemagne. After all, Nagash was a wizard and was not good at close combat (compared to his strength). Turned into fly ash.
However, a small army of undead led by Gul still survived and successfully broke through. At that time, Charlemagne was poisoned by Nagash, and his strength was exhausted, so he had to give up the pursuit.
Facts have proved that this is a very terrible mistake. The undead army led by Gul destroyed all the towns and castles along the way, leaving countless terrifying legends.
In the end, the recovered Charlemagne found Gul's hiding place on the Gray Mountains, and cornered Gul in the Battle of the Ice Lake. The champion of the undead Chaos Four Gods was killed again. A new tomb has been opened to seal this fearsome warrior.
However, time flies. It has been two thousand years since the empire was established. The empire has long forgotten where Gul's tomb is. There are only a few short descriptions of the Battle of the River River in the taboo scrolls in the Royal Library of Creek or in the Underground of the Relic Hall of the Cathedral of Justice.
Now, Gul's tomb is in front of him, and the great necromancer Heinrich Kemmler came to Gul's tomb. He identified the tomb with the black mark of chaos, and felt the overflowing chaos. force.
Nothing can overcome the endless years. The seals set by Charlemagne's mages have been weakening over time. The power of the undead and the power of chaos contained in it are constantly blowing from the cracked tomb door to The whole world.
This is what Kemler needs. The necromancer who suffered a tragic failure in the duel with Francois learned a lesson. He deeply understands that facing Francois, he, who is not proficient in melee combat, needs a A formidable warrior had to hold off Duke Winford's onslaught before he had a chance of winning.
As long as he still wants to attack the Monastery of La-Messonard and find a way to get the Rod of Nagash sealed in the monastery, he will definitely face Francois again, and he and the Duke will eventually decide the outcome .
Kemmler began to chant spells towards the gate of the tomb. After two thousand years, the weak seal was immediately shattered into pieces under the impact of the necromancer.
Gul's remains were right in front of him, the door of the tomb was opened, and the wind of chaos blowing from it was far stronger than before, and Kemler suddenly felt something was wrong.
The evil god is watching here, and the terrible power of chaos is frantically stimulating the fragile nerves of the necromancer. He seems to see everything in the world is burning, lava is flowing, volcanoes are erupting, and the chaotic demon finally got rid of the shackles of the subspace and came to the world. In the midst of endless destruction and madness, a three-eyed king stood before the altar of chaos. Under the altar, there were hundreds of thousands of barbarians and chaos demons. They frantically shouted the name of that person and demanded that he Lead them south to destroy the world.
His name... what's his name?
"Archaon." Kemmler muttered to himself, and the illusion quickly faded from his mind. When the great necromancer called out his name subconsciously, the place he was in had turned into a deep tomb, piled high with Skulls and the remains of more than two dozen Chaos Chosen warriors were recovered.
The corpse of Gul, the champion of the Four Chaos Gods, was right in front of Kemler. Even after two thousand years, the barosh armor on the dead champion of the Four Chaos Gods was still as bright as new. Surrounded by the power of chaos, his black battle The ax still maintains the power enough to tear apart any mortal. Chaos seems to be telling mortals in this way that darkness will last forever, and the victory of mortals will always only win them a negligible breathing time.
"Yes! Yes! This is what I want, Gul, resurrect! Fight for me!" Kemmler trembled with excitement, he staggered to Gul's corpse, and began to chant undead spells, Attempt to revive the champion of the Chaos Four.
"Mortal." The sudden voice made Kemler stop chanting undead magic. The voice was so terrifying that in a trance, Kemler seemed to see some supreme being sitting on a brass throne: "who?!"
"Mortal, you are not qualified to drive Jule. Your tiny mana, humble posture, and bruised corpse doom you to be just a failure, and you can only be defeated in front of the Britannian knights." He continued in a crazy and bloodthirsty voice.
"Yes! That's right! In the hundred times I have deduced the results, he has all failed, all~" said another voice full of treachery and trickery.
"Wow...failure, loser, let me take good care of you, poor necromancer, come to old father."
"Failure is also an art. It is a very interesting experience~ Of course, not too much~Enough is enough~"
The four supreme wills crazily eroded the mind of the great necromancer. He covered his head with his hands and screamed. The wound left by Francois was still bleeding, and Kemler's staff and bone sword fell off. On the ground, screaming hoarsely, rolling on the ground.
Cobwebs, remains and dust from the tomb covered Kemler's already dirty robes and hood. The four supreme wills watched Kemler's struggle with great interest, as if this made them have fun.
"You are very lucky, mortal, your performance and killing ** have aroused our interest, and we are willing to give you a chance to save yourself and drive Gul." The whisper from the evil god finally brought Kemler back to his senses, when this When the great necromancer reluctantly stood up, he found a piece of human skin paper written with blood appearing in front of him with lava flowing.
"This is?!" Kemler carefully watched the writing on the human skin paper, and soon broke out in sweat.
"We can let you drive Gul, we can heal your injuries and restore your mana, as long as you sign this contract and swear allegiance to us." The whispers of evil gods surrounded Kemler, and they issued their own The price tag, and waiting for the response of the great necromancer.
Kemmler's face was serious, and the great necromancer soon realized that if he signed this contract, he would betray the entire undead camp, and would bow down to Chaos and become their running dog.
But what's wrong with that? Being able to become a running dog shows that you are still valuable!
He wants revenge! He wants strength! He wants to get the staff of Nagash, and completely destroy Francois and his Knight Principality!
After thinking for only three seconds, the necromancer knelt down resolutely. He signed his name on the human skin with his own blood. He swore that he would be loyal to the God of Chaos in the future, and repay and please the evil god with killing and destruction. in exchange for rewards.
"Then, the contract is established." Black flames emerged from the human skin scroll, burning the scroll to ashes, and the majestic tide of chaos rushed into Kemler's body like the Styx, the abyss of hell, and the divine power of the four gods of chaos poured into Kemler's body. In Kemler's body, the necromancer not only recovered from his injuries, but the gods also bestowed him with more magical power than before.
After a long time, Kemler turned over and stood up from the grave. The great necromancer felt the torrent of magic power in his body like the abyss of the vast sea, and muttered to himself: "The time for revenge has come."
Behind him, Gul, the champion of the four gods of chaos, was revived again under Kemler's will. The two-meter-high remains gathered into a chaotic champion wearing Barosh chaos armor and holding a black giant axe .
Gul, resurrected.
The corpses of the dead Chaos Chosen Warriors in the tomb also recovered one after another, forming a team of undead Chaos Chosen Warriors. Led by Gul, they came to Kemmler's body, waiting for orders.
"Gul, and my warriors, will obey your orders, my master, please order."
"The time has come." Kemmler said bitterly, "The time to hide your strength and bide your time is over!"
"Next, it's me, Heinrich Kemmler's Revenge!"
