Chapter 239 Multiple Parties

Old World, Empire of Sigmar, Altdorf.

The Rick guards stopped the ragged Truth Speaker Dai Lan. The emperor of the empire was not something that a beggar could see at will.

The imperial people coming and going pointed at the primitive Obiun people and used ridicule to gain superiority.

Under the guarded sight of Rick's guards, the grieving druid took out the statue of the old god and swore an oath under the witness of his lifelong faith.

"My Gods! Imperial people! There is another movement in the north. Darkness has descended on Albien Island. This is a sign of the beginning of the Chaos invasion!

Have you forgotten the horror of chaos in just nineteen years? "

The loud roar caused a sudden silence in the street, not because of shame, but because of the word "chaos".

In the year 2301 of the Imperial Calendar, the Kingdom of Kislev, adjacent to the Empire, encountered an unprecedented Chaos invasion.

The "Great Holy War" began when the armies of Chaos laid siege to the city of Plagg.

The Kingdom of Kislev was unable to resist the forces of Chaos and asked for help from the empire in turmoil.

But the imperial provinces, which had just ended the Vampire War, did not respond to the requests for help from their northern neighbors.

The major churches were tit for tat, and the electors were suspicious of each other, even proclaiming themselves emperors.

The imminent crisis failed to wake up the torn empire, and some nobles even threw themselves directly into the arms of the Chaos Gods, trembling in fear.

No reinforcements have arrived in the Kingdom of Kislev!

When the indomitable dragon demon slowly came from the end of the wind and snow in the north, Kislev's desperate Patriotic War was doomed to failure from the beginning.

The majestic city wall of the fortress city, which is more than ten meters high, was directly smashed by the ancient dragon demon overlooking the city. The ruined road after the monster's rampage still exists in Prague City to this day.

After the fall of the northern fortress, this backward kingdom fought hard to the end, but the enemy they faced was not an opponent that could be solved with cold weapons.

Even after Plagg was destroyed, many powerful demons and monsters felt bored and returned to the far north.

Every inch of land and blood throughout Kislev was slowly devoured by the Chaos Legion. At that time, the empire was still in the midst of civil strife during the "Era of Three Emperors".

Sensing impending disaster, Magnus the Pious lobbied for the divided provinces.

In order to gain the support of the Midden Territory and resolve the conflict between the Church of Sigmar and the Church of Ulric.

Magnus von Bilderhofen even stepped into the Holy Fire of Ulric, and like the great "founder" Sigmar Umbrogen, walked out of the Holy Fire safely.

Magnus went through many dangers to put the divided empire back together.

Fortunately, the tenacious Lady Kislev fought for a whole year, buying precious time for the empire to reunite.

After realizing that the Chaos Legion was invincible, a large number of Kislevites retreated to the capital, preparing to live or die with their motherland.

Tsar Alix of Kislev once again asked for help from the empire. Not only the Sigma Empire responded to the battle for human survival, but also the dwarves in the mountains and even the high elves overseas sent support.

The army of the Mountain Kingdom helped Kislev secure the capital. The largest imperial army in history arrived at the tormented Northern Kingdom at dawn before the decisive battle.

In the year 2302 of the Imperial Calendar, Asava Kuhl, the "Eternal Chosen God", was killed by Magnus the Pious in the "Decisive Battle of Kislev City".

Today, nineteen years later, people still mourn the heroes who died in that war.

In Ulthuan, mourning for war is still the main theme of the northern elven kingdom.

But today, the Kingdom of Charis received a special visitor.

"Truth Speaker" Aine used the secret method passed down by the ancient saints to pass through the fog shrouding Ulthuan and arrived at the kingdom of the Elf Hunters.

At first, the Kingdom of Charis was just a forest where the escapists hid, but the wind of magic changed the beasts in the forest, and the escapists had to pick up the battle ax and become hunters in the forest.

The most terrifying beast in the forest is the white lion. Their nature has been changed by the magic of chaos. Their steel-like lion skin and terrifying brute force make them invincible.

Hunters who can hunt white lions are white lion warriors.

The martial ethos prevents Charis from defining nobles by bloodline like other kingdoms. Only the best hunters are qualified to pick up the battle ax passed down from generation to generation.

Since Caledor I, these warriors wearing lion skins and holding giant axes have stood beside the Phoenix King as his bodyguards.

The Phoenix Kings of the past generations have always generously given magical weapons to the guards, but the White Lion has always proudly refused the reward and still carries the traditional battle axe.

This was the weapon that they, the rough woodcutter, had used to save Caledor I.

In the past, when Caledor I went to the Temple of Asuryan to inherit the Phoenix Throne and was assassinated on the way, it was the woodcutters of Charis who desperately blocked the Druchi assassins, repelled countless Druchi attacks, and defeated the Kaledor. Ledo I was delivered to the Temple of Asuryan unscathed.

The best warrior of Charis is Captain White Lion, the champion warrior of the Phoenix King.

After the former White Lion captain Colin died at the hands of "Witch King's Champion Warrior" Julian Baneblade, Kohler of Charis was elected as the new captain by the hunters.

Valin is the hunter second only to Kohler. After Kohler goes to the Phoenix Court, Valin becomes the de facto leader of the Charis Kingdom.

Prince Varin had just returned to Tal Achar from Lothern when he bumped into the Truth Speaker who had returned to his human form.

Like other Truthspeakers who came to seek help, Ani stated the facts of the coming darkness and revealed the dire consequences if the power of Chaos prevailed.

Varin was unmoved at first because he had just experienced a great battle and the Kingdom of Charis needed to recuperate.

But when he discovered the sincerity and pleading in Aini's eyes, and heard about the dark future after the fall of Obion Island.

This moral paragon of elf nobles gave up rest, called a group of white lion warriors who had just finished hunting, and started a new journey.

He could not mobilize a large-scale army because the Phoenix King did not give permission, and now was obviously not the time to wait for the Phoenix King's order.

Humans may not be able to hold on to the fortress for a long time. When interests are not related, Valin is not optimistic about the operating efficiency of the Phoenix Court.

Old World, west side of the empire, Kingdom of Bretonnia.

"Truth Speaker" Sabu walked into the capital of the Kingdom of Knights, Cologne City.

A beautiful woman welcomed the visitors from Obien, and under the leadership of the Lake Fairy, the slovenly druid entered the palace unimpeded.

No matter how much the knights dislike the primitive people in the north, they must restrain their prejudices in front of the human representative of the Lady of the Lake.

King Gaston de Bogost listened to the voice from Obien, and there was no doubt about the outcome.

The Lake Fairy appears here, and her appearance reveals the will of the Lake Goddess.

Although the vampire knights who conquered the Dukedom of Mousilon consumed a lot of the kingdom's national power, King Gaston still extended a helping hand.

The holder of the "Hero's Sword" and the master of the "Shield of Confusion", the Holy Grail Knight "The Stalwart" Henry will return to Albien with Sabu.
