Just being a dark elf in Warhammer

"What should we do if this happens on our land?"

Darkus did not question Ludwig, you, you, you, what, in his opinion, this was too low-level. He turned his head and looked at Cowell, who had squeezed into the cell one position ahead of Renn. After giving Cowell a "you know" look, he asked coldly.

"Blind eyes!"

Cowell responded in the same cold voice.

"Torture!"

"Castration!"

Cowell felt that the atmosphere in the fairy might not be tense enough. After he finished talking about blindness, he added. As he entered first, other elves also filed in, either staring at Ludwig eagerly, or pushing away Ludwig's followers.

"No...no...you can't do this. I am the emperor, the emperor of Altdorf, the emperor of the empire." Ludwig's voice trembled, trying to struggle to resist, but he felt trapped in a mass that he could not escape from. In despair. His voice echoed in the cell, but it was like shouting in the wilderness where no one responded.

Pastor Sigma and Green stood outside the cell, looking at each other, with a tacit communication in their eyes. They knew that the situation in the cell was out of control, but they decided not to risk entering it. Besides, they were not qualified to do anything. Perhaps their impulsive actions might lead to greater chaos and danger.

In the end, Pastor Sigmar and Green decided to remain vigilant and not take any action for the time being. Priest Sigma chose to stay where he was, acting as if nothing had happened, while Green took one last look at Priest Sigma and quickly left, leaving this place of right and wrong.

"You have offended me." Darkus looked at Ludwig and said condescendingly in a cold tone. While speaking, he sighed in his mind that in his opinion Cowell was really...too imaginative.

The torture was to have the nose cut off and become a noseless person like Vlad. Eye blindness is an upgrade on the basis of torture, gouging out the eyes, castrating... I understand you all, but should there be a monastery next? Being blind is the direct end of political life. What can a person do if he is blind? There are so many politicians who have been blinded, but only Enrico Dandolo stands out and makes a big difference.

The same principle applies to castration. The castrated man is no longer a man, and he is no longer able to covet the throne. After all, who would accept a father-in-law as the emperor? Next is the monastery. The most typical one is Romanus IV who was overthrown after the defeat of the Battle of Manzikert. After being sentenced to blindness, he was exiled to the monastery on the island.

However, Drucci does not play this trick, but is more direct, more straightforward, and more brutal. So Darkus thinks that Kewell is very imaginative. After all, he may not have told Druch about these things. As a ruler, what is he doing talking about these things when he has nothing to do? He is full.

"Found a higher level of light." Then, Darkus added another sentence as a tribute to Romanus IV. If he remembered correctly, this sentence should be the blessing mentioned in the letter Psellos wrote to Romanus IV after Romanus IV was executed.

As Darkus finished speaking, Cowell and Renn had already taken out the stabbing blades hidden under their robes. The stabbing blades, which emitted a cold light in the dark light, were held in their hands, with a look on their faces. With expressions of eagerness to try, their eyes flashed with a cold light, as if they were ready to perform some surgical operations on Ludwig.

But the two of them did not take direct action. Cowell was very smart as Maranur's white paper fan, and Renne was also very smart as Dacus's retinue. They knew that this was just Dacus trying to intimidate Ludwig. , after all, William III was still standing nearby, digging out Emperor Altdorf's eyes in front of the High Priest of Sigmar. What's more, they heard some words when they came, and they probably guessed what was going on.

"Don't move for a while, I promise, it will be quick. Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry, it won't hurt at all. It will be quick. I am very confident in my superb skills." Although Kewell did not take direct action, he used Language stimulated Ludwig's nerves. A cold light burst out from his eyes, and the thorn blade was constantly being drawn in his hand.

"No, no, no, I am the emperor of the empire, you elves can't do this."

Ludwig's heart was filled with fear and despair. Facing the threat of death, he felt that he had no way to escape. His palms were sweating, his body was shaking involuntarily, and his eyes were full of pleading and despair. He knew now was not the time to show weakness and that he had to stay calm, but sometimes, it wasn't just what he wanted to do.

Although Ludwig did not appear on the battlefield, the battlefield was full of his eyes and ears. He knew the powerful strength of the elves in front of him. He originally only made friends with these elves. He glanced at the female elf and was attracted by her beauty, showing an expression of greed and desire, but he swore to Sigma that he just glanced at her, just one glance. Thoughts kept running through his mind, and he thought about the relationship between William III and the elves. Perhaps only William III could save him now. He tried to seek help and support from William III.

However, William III had been staring at Jon Skyland without any obvious reaction in his eyes. He did not respond to Ludwig, as if nothing had happened, as if the elf in the cell did not exist at all. He seemed to be thinking about something, perhaps weighing the pros and cons. He seemed to have entered a strange state of mind. state. But this is just his disguise, a form of expression. Although he has known Darkus for a short time, he probably knows Darkus' temper. Darkus is helping him, but... He was a little uncomfortable with this method, just like the city wall.

"My friend, this is the Cathedral of Sigmar. For the sake of our friendship, please don't do this." A few more seconds passed, and the atmosphere in the cell became more depressing. Ludwig's followers had been The elves took control. William III, who could make delicious mulled wine, knew that the heat was almost done. He no longer remained in trance, and he prayed in a humble tone.

"My friend, you know that I am kind and generous. I will respond fieryly to my friends, just like the battle of Altdorf..." Darkus looked at him. To his William III, he mused, with a hint of thoughtfulness and consideration in his tone. He drawled at the end, as if he was preparing to deliver his final verdict.

Darkus' words made Ludwig's body tremble, and his heart was filled with fear and anxiety. His eyes flashed with endless fear, as if he was facing the judgment of death.

"I can give you face, my friend, by not turning a blind eye to him! Torture! Castration!" Darkus continued to declare, and when he said those three words, he used a very strong voice, as if he was The fate of Ludwig's trial was average. He continued, his voice softening, as if he was comforting Ludwig, "Thank you, High Priest."

Dacus finally chose to forgive Ludwig. Ludwig thought he had faced an irreversible fate, but now he was unexpectedly forgiven. His heart was filled with gratitude and relief, thanking Darkus for his mercy and tolerance. Dacus asked him to thank William III for the favor and gift he had received from him.

William III nodded silently and accepted. He didn't say anything. He knew what Darkos would do next, and the facts turned out to be as he judged.

"Blindness! Torture! Castration! It can be avoided, but..." After Ludwig thanked William III, Darkus took a step back and said.

Darkus' words were like a signal, and Ludwig was stunned, but the time was short, less than a second. Maranur, who had been prepared for a long time, flew towards him with a flying kick. Unable to avoid it, he instantly lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground. Lying on the ground, he felt a sharp pain coming over him, and the rain of fists and kicks hit him violently like a ruthless storm.

As the emperor of Altdorf, Ludwig could only huddle on the ground and cover important parts of his body with his hands, trying to protect himself from more serious injuries. However, as the elves joined in, he felt that he had no strength to resist, and his body was shaking painfully with every blow.

The beating lasted for a while, and when the elves dispersed again, Ludwig was still curled up on the ground, holding his head, his body shrouded in pain and weakness. His breathing was rapid and irregular, beads of sweat hung on his forehead, and various parts of his body ached.

In the cell, besides Ludwig lying down, there was also Jon Skyland lying down. Jon Skyland, who had recovered from the severe pain, showed a dazed and stunned expression. He could clearly see that the human lying not far away from him was the Ludwig he saw under the city wall that day. , but he didn’t know what Ludwig had gone through, why Ludwig was lying on the ground and suffered the same treatment as him. This was Altdorf’s emperor.

"It's not decent at all, isn't it?" Darkus, who did not take action, smacked his lips and said to William III who was standing there.

Just like at the city wall, William III had been watching Ludwig being beaten, acting as an audience and witness. He had witnessed the defeat of vampires before, and now he had witnessed Ludwig being beaten and lying around by elves. on the ground. He was a little confused inside, and the words he knew could not accurately describe his current mental state. After hearing Darkus's voice, he turned around and shrugged at Darkus.

Darkus responded with the same shrug, and then waved his hand, signaling the elves to let go of the followers who were forced into the corner. As the elves retreated, the followers were free. They did not resist, and they did not draw out their weapons to protect Ludwig's belief. But fortunately, they were still reliable. They knew that this matter should be considered over. The leader He looked at William III, and after seeing William III nod, he and other retinues carried Ludwig out of the cell.

As Ludwig was carried out of the cell, the matter was over.

Does Darkus like to show off? dislike. Doesn't he like to show off? He does. But he believed that pretense should be done to a reasonable target, and he was unwilling to accept the call of human beings in the cathedral square. He felt that it was stupid. This feeling is like macarons going to a certain university. Why do all the college students come out to give macarons a warm welcome? Is it because macarons have some unique charm or something else? The essence is still...

Some strange habits dominate Darkus. He likes to achieve achievements, such as patting the horse master's belly and performing plastic surgery on Vlad's nose. There was also wearing Malekith's armor and being in bed with Morathi. Of course, these two things were done in a dream, but they were considered achievements, weren't they? After all, he has no system power, no reward settlement, and achievements. It's just an obsession and motivation in his heart.

In Darkus' view, Ludwig was a suitable target for him to show off. He may not have a chance to beat Magnus or Karl Franz, but he has a chance to beat Ludwig. After all, no matter how good Ludwig is, his identity lies there. In terms of achievements, this should be a beating of the emperor. Although this emperor has no legitimacy and was a bad person in the era of the Three Emperors, he is still an emperor after all, isn't he?

Although Darkus is sometimes reckless and does some irrational things, he is essentially cautious, at least that's what he thinks.

Achievement is secondary. The main thing is that Darkus does a favor for his friend. Sometimes some things are like leaving the left foot with the right foot. In this case, a little external help is needed, such as helping to untie the foot. Open or hide your legs so that you won’t be in trouble. A specific example is getting help from an outside source when you are in debt. This outside source is likely to be family, friends, or a bank.

William III represented the ecclesiastical power, while Ludwig represented the imperial power. The ecclesiastical power and the imperial power ruled Altdorf. Jon Skyland's survival makes William III seem very passive. After all, Jon Skyland's previous identity was a member of the Knights of the Silver Hammer and an experienced witch hunter. As a result, the witch hunter has now become a witch hunter. There may be many reasons and things for becoming a vampire, but it has happened.

Ludwig can use Jon Skyland's identity as a representative of the Reikland nobles to ask for benefits from the Sigma Church, or to damage the reputation of the Sigma Church and do something beneficial to himself. This is also the case for Jon Skylan. The reason why Skylan is alive. Of course, it actually doesn't matter whether Jon Skyland is alive or dead. What's important is that Jon Skyland's identity is out there and he is known to the top management of Altdorf.

Although the elves behaved very vulgarly, they were very particular about their attacks. After all, the ones who attacked were all Druchi. These Druchies had rich surgical clinical experience and knew where the vital points were and where the weak points were, even without the use of a stabbing blade. Their fists and feet are as precise as stabbing blades. The Enils were responsible for fending off the followers. The funny thing was that Tolandir wanted to squeeze in and kick him, but he failed to squeeze in and was squeezed out by the Druchi.

Darkus estimated that Ludwig would have to lie down for at least half a year as the empire did not yet have magic. In his opinion, it's a hit, so what can he do? Not convinced? With Altdorf's current situation, what can't be done? Even if he takes action, he can get out of Altdorf. Moreover, the so-called Emperor Altdorf does not have a family name like some countries. After all, the empire is an elector system, although the elector system is now rotten.

The Von Holtzkerg family, Darkus clearly remembers that this extremely prominent family in Reikland has produced three emperors, namely "The Just" Eberhard, "The Usurper" Ludwig and Lutvik, and then nothing more. With Lutvik's death in the Second Vampire War, this family was no longer what it was before, and it never had an emperor after that, and was lost among the many nobles of the Reikland.

So... I hit you, what can you do? Record it in family records to warn future generations? The problem is that if future generations don’t come forward, what can they do if they give a warning? Moreover, with Ludwig's pissing ability and reputation, he would not be indignant from the Reikland nobles after being beaten. On the contrary, they would only rejoice in his misfortune. Some rulers would choose to launch wars abroad because this would gain the support of interest groups and gain the support of interest groups. Improving one's reputation is the so-called three things for new officials to do when they take office.

And Ludwig's performance in the battle of Altdorf was too much. He stretched his hips so much that it made him uncomfortable to see Dacus. This is the Cathedral of Sigmar, an inaccessible cell. He told this So what if we go out? Who saw it? Do the testimonies of those subordinates count? Even if they saw it, what would happen?

Ludwig's behavior during the war was seen by the people of Altdorf. After the news of his beating spread, the people would not be indignant, but would only applaud him. After all, the person who beat him saved Altdorf. of immortal people. Besides, he said that he was beaten by the immortal people, will the people believe it? It is the Sigmar sect of Altdorf that dominates the people. As long as William III does not come forward on behalf of the Sigmar sect, the people...

Perhaps the nobles of Reikland would visit him in the Altdorf Palace under false pretenses and listen patiently to his account of what happened at that time. Whether the nobles don't believe it or not, it doesn't stop them from laughing at Ludwig and looking for opportunities to step on him. After all, your von Holtzkerg family can become Emperor Altdorf, and so can their family. They even wish they had no chance to succeed. Derwig was directly beaten to death. They would not mourn Ludwig. Instead, they would side with the Sigmar Sect, gain support from the Sigmar Sect, and compete for the throne of Emperor Altdorf.

This is also the reason why Darkus chose to find William III and the Sigmar sect represented by William III at the beginning of the siege. He and Finubar left a deep impression on Altdorf and even the entire human race in the empire. The purpose has been achieved. He believed that these six months were enough for William III to do a lot of things. As a friend, he could only do so much. He didn't need to worry about anything else. By then, he had already gone into the woods.

Darkus, who was no longer thinking, shrugged at William III, who was looking at him, and then he looked at Jon Skyland, who had calmed down. In fact, beating Ludwig was just incidental, important. It was because he heard Jon Skyland's name from William III's mouth that he chose to come here. Otherwise, he would have to say goodbye and leave Altdorf after talking to William III. The time agreed between him and the red dragons was coming soon, and he did not want to leave a bad impression on the red dragons during their first meeting.

In Darkus' view, Jon Skyland can be regarded as a legend, but this legend is somewhat unknown and not well known. (End of chapter)
