Just being a dark elf in Warhammer

Amei East and Dezi have time zones... No

When Athel Loren is at noon, it is morning in Krakalond. The children of the Hell's Disaster Family are very diligent. Maybe it's because of the presence of the great god? Anyway, they are diligent. After they finished breakfast in the dining hall, they walked out of the Night Warden Castle and began to busy themselves with their own things.

Now is the annual enlightenment period. The sorceresses are either conducting the final primitive population survey before the sea of ​​evil and resentment completely melts, or looking for good magic seedlings everywhere to prepare for the Nagor, which is about to be transformed, or carrying out the final construction work of the Nagor.

Some of the men serve as officers at all levels in the Ebon Claw. They have the right to return to the Night Warden Castle at night, but they still have to report in the morning when they roll, unless it is not training or on duty. The other part is active in the regular field army of Krakalond. They eat and live in the barracks and can only return to the Night Warden Castle on vacation. Some of them were active at sea, either following Dulias or traveling between Naggaroth and Lustria.

Of course, some of the children and trainers were stationed in Aishriel, responsible for the army, daily work, etc., to support Watt, and the trainers trained the naval aviation...

After the design of the assault ship came to an end, Annasara shifted her focus to the Nagor docked at the port of Clarkalond. She had to supervise the construction and restart of the magic academy on the Black Ark. And Newkel lived in the barracks during this period to complete the formation of the new legion.

Malekith left the Tower of Destruction and came to the Night Guard Castle. Behind him were Kolan and Kesley, as well as a black guard of a hundred people. He had no intention of wandering around the Night Guard Castle. He knew that the entire mansion would be empty except for the housekeeper Dia and the family children who were playing or training martial arts in the backyard. Of course, the family guards on guard were still standing there, as well as the trainers on the negative first floor.

He nodded to Dia who saluted him respectfully and walked out of the gate of the mansion. He ignored the family guards who saluted him and walked straight. When he reached the steps, his footsteps stopped. After a moment, he turned and walked towards the family guards standing at the door. His behavior made the family guards standing outside the three swords at a loss. The family guards showed confusion and fear on their faces, not knowing whether to retreat or continue to stand there.

But the family guards did not retreat in the end. It was his duty to guard there, and he had nowhere to retreat. He couldn't get stuck in the wall. He was just a warrior with rich combat experience, not a warlock.

"Stand up." Malekith, who had recovered to his previous state, stood in front of the family guards kneeling in front of him and said calmly.

"Fear?" Malekith asked when the family guards stood up tremblingly. After asking, he felt that he had asked a nonsense question. He could clearly see fear in the eyes of the family guards.

"Raise your head and look into my eyes." When the family guards lowered their heads, Malekith still said calmly.

"How long have you served?"

"Your Majesty, I... I... have served for 182 years."

"What do you believe in?"

"The Lord of Blades."

"Oh? So that's it?" Malekith asked in a playful tone. Clarkalond was not originally the base of Cain's faith. The sorceresses believed in Hecate, and the beast tamers believed in Anes Lema. Although Anasara was a relative of Helleben, Anasara hated that group of lunatics and had been secretly suppressing the development of Cain's sect here. The Cain believers here were not as crazy as Har Gansi.

In addition, he also knew that Clarkalond was now undergoing a silent faith conversion. Originally, only a small number of Duruchi believed in the Lord of Blades in Naggaroth. Now... maybe he should find time to pray to Edrezer? Become Edrezer's chosen god?

"The God of Blood Hands."

"Heh, what are your plans for the future?"

"Your Majesty... I... I..." The family guard hesitated for a long time and didn't say it. He really hadn't thought about this problem. Now the king of Naggaroth stood in front of him, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"Do you have children?" Malekith was not angry because the family guards could not answer. It would be a surprise if the family guards could answer. Who let most of the Duruchi live one day at a time, and all this... After seeing that the family guards could not answer for a long time, he asked another question.

"Two." The family guard answered quickly this time, because he really had. Just like the farmer being interviewed really had a cow, not a hundred million.

"What are they doing now? Playing in the backyard? Or?" Malekith asked casually. He knew that the Hell Disaster Family had a great talent in winning people's hearts, and the family guards who could stand in this position to guard must be the backbone.

"Going to sea..."

"Is this their decision, or your decision?"

"I... I and them..." The family guard knelt down again while saying this.

This time Malekith did not ask anything else, he already knew from the reaction of the family guards. He nodded and turned to leave, standing on the steps holding the Yangyan Sword and looking up at the lead-gray sky that had remained unchanged for thousands of years.

"My Majesty, you have to rely on yourself next. Of course, as the consul, I will support you with all my strength, but you have to hold on. No one can help you, including your mother. You can only overcome it with your will! If you really can't hold on, look at Sunfire Sword and remember your heroic father, Aenarion! Don't let me turn into you like in the illusion. Isn’t it your destiny, let alone my destiny!”

"If you really can't hold on, take a look at the Sun Flame Sword." When Darkus' words flashed through Malekith's mind, he no longer looked at the sky, but pulled out the Sun Flame Sword and held it in both hands. The shining sun sword.

He knew that what Darkus just said was meant for him. When he was in Lustria, he knew that Darkus knew everything about him in the future. At that time, he was not sure whether Darkus, who looked like Alandrian, was sent by the gods to guide him, or whether he came from What information did Moraygo get?

Now...he is sure, he understands, he really understands. Just like what Darkus said, the moment his father stepped into the sacred fire, he had a brave and kind heart to save the people in distress. But he is not, he just wants to catch up with his father's back and prove his merit, but he lacks the core and spirit of his father. This is why he fails, and this is why he runs away in the process of shaping. He understood the reason for coming out, completely.

"Moraygo's fate is as cruel as ever." Malekith, holding the Sun Flame Sword, no longer lowered his head, but turned to look at the leaden sky. After looking at it for a moment, he murmured, "What a fate." Interesting stuff, you never know how close you are to your goal when you give up, it’s 4778 years, it’s 4778 years!”

When the Sunfire Sword was put back into its scabbard, Malekith turned around and waved to Coran and Keslay who were standing there, motioning for the two of them standing outside the three swords to come closer.

"Your Majesty?" Kou Lan asked cautiously.

"It's time to change, isn't it?" Malekith said lightly, then turned and walked towards the garden area.

Coran and Kessler were stunned and looked at each other as usual. They didn't understand what the Witch King was talking about. Then, he followed the Witch King.

It might be that time has passed, it might be that he hasn't woken up from the party last night, or it might be that he deliberately hid after seeing Malekith walking on the street. The noble district was very quiet and desolate. There were no pedestrians, no carriages, and no city guards patrolling. There were only Malekith walking in front and the black guards who lined up neatly behind.

"Where is the mansion of the Takaia family?" Malekith was originally preparing to cross the Nagareth Bridge, but he stopped when he reached the crossroads while walking and asked Keslay.

"Your Majesty, over there!" Kessler, who had not said a word for a year, spoke, pointing in the opposite direction from where he came from.

The old house of the Takaia family was renovated from the inside out by the Dia sent people a long time ago. However, the three brothers and sisters who followed Darkus rarely had the opportunity to live there. The longest period of living was in Dark In the six months after Us returned from the Lustria continent for the first time, what happened later...

However, this does not mean that there is no one in the old house. Elmir, who has already married, is active on the training ground with her and Renn's daughter. When she saw Malekith standing at the door, she showed a surprised and panic expression. She had also experienced strong winds and waves, fought on the sea, and had adventures in Lustria, but she really didn't expect that His Majesty the Witch King would Stand there.

The Witch King has never left the Overlord's Castle since he came to Krakalund. This is known to every Krakalund resident, but now he is standing in front of the old house.

"Your Majesty." Almir, who had no time to prepare, came over with his daughter.

Malekith first waved to Elmir, who was kneeling on the ground to salute, and then turned his attention to Ren's daughter. Was he trying to express his closeness, to show his kindness? But he had no intention of hugging her. His Midnight Armor was too sharp, and the child's age was not suitable for him to hold. He was not a pedophile. He stretched out his hand to touch the child's head, but immediately retracted his hand.

Then, he just looked there without saying a word, looking at the old house, looking at Elmir, looking at the child who was hiding behind Elmir and looking at him timidly, and looking at everything around him. He never said anything, and he had no intention of visiting the old house. What was there to see in a renovated dilapidated house? He knew that as long as he came, within an hour, the entire Krakarond would know about his visit to the Takaia family. There were no weaklings in Nagaros, and there were no secrets.

He could feel that the child was not suitable to take the path of a sorceress, and the child's future should not be decided by him. After looking at it for a moment, he turned around and left, leaving Elmir confused.

"The defense here is a bit weak. Send a team of black guards here."

Soon, after finishing his instructions, he arrived at the Nagaryth Bridge. He raised his head and glanced at the statue of Kane standing at the top, then lowered his head and looked at the distant coast, looking at the Nago parked on the west bank of the Red Poison River. There are still a bunch of black arks that have not been started since they were brought back from Lustria. The other black arks are either still floating on the sea, or docked at Chapeiuto in Lustria. Countless plundering ships are moored at the docks on the east coast, and their black masts crowd the coast of the City of Ships, neatly arranged on the sea of ​​resentment that is about to be civilized.

Looking at everything in front of him, Malekith felt that it was all so real. This was his power, his kingdom, and his people. After a moment, he opened his arms to embrace it all, just as Daquus had told him, and felt the cold air blowing from the north of Naggaroth blowing on his armor.

The officers, big and small, were wearing fine armor, their cloaks hanging down to their ankles, and the black cloth fluttered in the wind. Their faces showed scars left by the battle, and their waists were full of various trophies, as if every scar and every trophy was telling of their bravery and glory.

The soldiers stood in formation, their armor was engraved with runes, and the swords, spears, crossbows, and shields flashed cold light against the leaden sky. The neat and uniform team demonstrated the supreme power of Druki, as if every soldier was a cold war machine.

The flag bearers held high the black and silver flags, which fluttered in the wind, like drums on the battlefield beating everyone's heart. The trumpeters blew the trumpets, which sounded low and long, as if the battle order had sounded.

The Reaper Crossbow Squad stood behind the hundred-man team. The huge crossbow flashed coldly in the sun, like the sickle of the god of death. Each operator stood around the Reaper Crossbow with a serious expression.

The uniform black elf war horses were wearing cold vests, and the hot air was spewing from their nostrils, which made them look particularly powerful. The dark riders were holding sky-piercers, messer knives, or crossbows, waiting for the order of the Witch King and accepting his inspection.

The whole scene was solemn and murderous. Because of the arrival of His Majesty the Witch King, every Duruchi was tense and ready, with determination and determination, cruelty and excitement on their faces. The ground trembled under their feet, and the air was filled with murderous intent. There was no noise in the team, only the slight sound of weapons colliding and the soldiers' orderly breathing.

Under the leadership of Newker, this was an unmatched army, and every detail showed the discipline and strength of the Duruchi. The officers stood in front of the team, raised their proud heads, and stared at the Witch King who was reviewing them with torches. The soldiers stood like sculptures, and the entire army was like a beast ready to pounce on its prey at any time, full of endless threats and oppression.

"Newker."

"Your Majesty?"

"Do you know why I don't like you?" Malekith, who was looking down at the army, said softly.

"I know."

Malekith turned his head to look at Newker, who bowed his head and saluted, and after a moment he turned his head to look at the army being reviewed. The soldiers in front of him were drawn from the core field army members of the two cities of Nagarond and Clarkarond, and were organized according to the organization discussed in Lustria before. Selecting the strictest from the strictest, selecting the best from the best, can be said to be the most essential strength of Naggaroth.

After watching for a while, he did not make any speech, but just waved his hand gently, signaling the trumpeter to blow the trumpet. When the continuous trumpet sounded, the officers who were inspected ran back to their own teams and mobilized the teams to move.

"Do you need me to praise you?" When the army was mobilized and started daily training, Malekith turned his head and asked Newkor again.

"No, Your Majesty, this is what I should do."

"You are always like this." Malekith put his hands behind his back, paced in place for a while, and then he looked at Hirsis standing aside and said, "Stop the work at hand and take over the daily affairs of Krakalond from Newkor."

"Your Majesty?" Hirsis did not show a surprised expression when he heard the order, but a confused expression, and asked a little nervously.

Krakalond is the base of the Hellsbane Family. The Hellsbane Family controls everything in Krakalond. This is known to every Druk in Naggaroth. He didn't understand what the Witch King meant. Did the Witch King want him to take over the affairs of the Hellsbane Family? Is this possible? Can he? Can the Hellsbane Family let go? The Witch King is looking forward to his death and roasting him on the fire rack in the butcher shop.

And Newkor, who was standing next to Hirsis, stood there expressionlessly as if he had not heard the words of the Witch King, as if everything that happened around him had nothing to do with him.

"What are you thinking about?" Malekith understood what Hirsis was thinking after seeing Hirsis's reaction. He said in a bad mood. After pacing in place, he continued to say in a bad mood, "When we parted in Lustria, Dacuus mentioned to me that he was going to make you the Night Warden of Naggarond..."

Before Malekith finished speaking, Hirsis knelt on the ground with a plop. He figured it out. It wasn't the Witch King who wanted him dead, it was Dacus who wanted him dead! Being a Night Warden under the Witch King's nose? How exciting is this? How suicidal is this? Maybe Dacus regretted giving him the amulet that could teleport to Lustria? No, what about his son who was far away in Lustria?

Even Newker, who had always been indifferent, had a reaction. He couldn't have not reacted. As a core figure in Druk's politics, he knew that if Clarkarond was the base of the Hellbane Family, then Nagarond was the base of the Witch King. Since the appearance of Nagarond, there had been no Night Wardens and Valahar.

"Get up!" Malekith said unhappily while looking at Hirsis, who was kneeling on the ground. After Hirsis carefully got up, he said sinisterly, "Darkius is right. Nagarond does need a Night Warden, and you are suitable for this position.

You know his plan. He will launch a large-scale reconstruction in Nagarund in the future. The current Nagarund does not meet his needs, and those buildings that are tantamount to illegal for him need to be demolished.

He is the consul, not the night governor of Nagarond. He is responsible for the overall work. So... there should be a night governor in Nagarond who is responsible for these tasks and subsequent construction work. I can't take charge of it myself, right?

Sirsis, in my opinion, this is not a good position. You will offend those fear lords to death. Maybe you will get a title? ‘Citybreaker’? ‘Demolisher’? Who knows what those fear lords will do behind your back? I wonder if they will invite you to the Midnight Conspiracy? Or beat you up after inviting you?

My dear Sirsis, if I were you, I would learn more from Newkel before he returns to Naggaroth. You know him, and I can tell you quietly. "After he said this, he really lowered his voice, so that only Sirsis and Newkel could hear it, "He changed a lot after turning around in Ersin Alvin, He was more powerful and kinder than before. I don't think you want to see him angry and bear his wrath. "

Newkel glanced at Xiersis standing there in a daze with his peripheral vision, and saw that Xiersis did not respond for a long time. He shook his head speechlessly, then stretched out his foot and kicked it over.

"Your Majesty, I..."

"Okay, stop showing your ridiculous loyalty. Don't you feel it? Don't you know? How funny those words come out of your mouth, like a farce." Malekith said in a mocking way He said in a tone, and then burst into laughter.

"Your Majesty?" Newkel asked cautiously after the laughter ended.

"He is very good, very good. He couldn't be better. Yesterday he defeated Orion, the monster who besieged Grond hundreds of years ago. Now, he is in a meeting, Druch, Asul, A Sly, Enir, and the demigods were sitting together at a very strange table.

He got angry, and he scolded those Assurs so hard that our sharp-tongued cousins ​​didn't know how to respond. You didn't see their expressions. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! It was the first time I saw him angry. I could feel that he was really angry. You can never imagine what he looked like.

I want to go out and walk around, otherwise, I will see him crowned later? Become King of Athel Loren? King of Athel Loren, with the forest spirits and lizardmen on his side, there is no reason why he shouldn't become the King of Athel Loren. "Malekis told it in a very calm tone, as if telling a story that had nothing to do with him.

"Your Majesty?" Newkel asked in surprise.

"Don't think about it, I can feel that Athel Loren is very important to him, very important! If he doesn't deliver supplies there..." Malekith said at the end, waving his hands randomly in the air, "Also , I am not angry about him becoming the king of Athel Loren, and I have no reason to be angry, whether you believe it or not. Well, let us discuss other things, the current matter, the matter in front of us, Kou. orchid!"

"His Majesty?"

"Let Chagorosh come over." Malekith ordered. In his heart, he looked down on Hagrid Gravevarahar Chagorosh, who accepted Darkvus' fate, but he respected Darkvus. Si, Chagorosh became Valahar according to the rules set by Darkus. Before Chagorosh made no big mistake, he was not prepared to do anything to Chagorosh. Maybe...he Can Chagorosh be trained like Darkus trained other Druch? At least Chagorosh's loyalty is guaranteed now.

"Next, I will also participate in the formation of the legion. In addition, the number of cavalry in this legion is not enough. It is seriously insufficient." After giving the instructions, Malekith put his hands behind his back and looked at the army training in the distance. After looking at it for a moment, , he frowned and said.

According to the results of the discussion in Lustria, the cavalry, that is, the dark riders, are equipped with spears, shields, swords and repeating crossbows, and wear breastplates. The basic organization is the same as that of the infantry. There is no Reaper ballista squad, but A logistics team will be set up. The cavalry is mainly used to assist the infantry, drive away harassing troops, or protect the safety of the legion's flanks and rear. It will only launch a charge at the most critical time.

A cavalry centurion consists of 10 cavalry squads, including 100 cavalry, plus a logistics squad. There are a total of 110 soldiers, 11 decanurs, 1 centurion, 1 deputy, no additional flag bearers and trumpeters, cavalry, 200 elven horses, 4 military vehicles and 1 light field kitchen trailer.

There are 5 cavalry centurions in a legion.

"Your Majesty, the cavalry is an auxiliary arm in the legion's positioning, the infantry is the core in the decisive battle, and the ballistae provides important fire support." Newkel said bluntly.

"Newkel, you have to know that cavalry is not only powerful in charging, but also of great significance in reconnaissance and pursuit."

"Battle consists of two different parts, destructive firepower and individual combat, the latter may be offensive or defensive, ballistae only functions through destructive firepower, and cavalry only operates through individual combat." The infantry plays a role through two channels: offensive and defensive."

Sirsis looked at the Witch King and Nukel who were having a quarrel. He knew that they were discussing the attributes of arms in a general direction and the application of arms from the perspective of commanders. On this issue, they were professionals. Yes, he didn't have the right to interrupt.

"In offense and defense, firepower accounts for a greater proportion. An army without ballistae will be weakened more than an army without cavalry at all. A force composed only of infantry and ballistae is the same as a force composed of three soldiers. Although a force composed of two arms will be at a disadvantage when fighting, if a corresponding number of infantry replaces the missing cavalry and makes slight changes in tactics, it can still complete its tactical mission," Nucker continued.

"You are right, but you cannot deny that there will be considerable difficulties in outpost service when there is a lack of cavalry. You will never be able to pursue a defeated enemy smoothly, and it will be more difficult to retreat."

"But these difficulties in themselves are not enough to make troops without cavalry withdraw from the battlefield. On the contrary, such troops can perform better when fighting troops composed of infantry and cavalry."

"I understand you, Nukel, I fully understand you. You are different from Silsis and I. He and I have been to Lustria and Asriel. You have not been there. Darkus A Rosario administrative district dedicated to horse breeding was planned there. The land there is flat and fertile, very suitable for agricultural and livestock activities, just like the Kingdom of Airion.

and! We are not going to launch an attack on Ulthuan tomorrow. He will make adjustments to Naggaroth when he comes back. In his plan, we should have 600,000 to 800,000 troops, not what we have now. Of course, I think his plan is a bit conservative. If his plan is fully implemented, we will have at least 800,000 troops. "

Newkel's mouth that was about to say something suddenly opened wide. Yes, he didn't consider Ashriel. He only considered that the environment in Naggaroth could not support too many horses. After Malekith reminded him, He understood. If the time is extended, Asriel's horses will be continuously transported to Naggaroth, and more cavalry will appear by then, instead of like now.

As an experienced tactician, he didn't want to be like this. It is better to have more cavalry units than none. As Malekith just said, cavalry is not only powerful in charging, but also of great significance in reconnaissance and pursuit.

And... the blueprint drawn by Malekith scared him a little, eight hundred thousand? What is this concept? This concept only stayed in his past imagination. How long was the last battle of Grond? It was forcibly made by piecing together field armies, Black Ark sailors, pirates and mercenaries from various cities. The combat effectiveness was uneven. In his opinion, those mercenaries were only suitable for defense and could not bear the task of attack at all.

"What do you mean, Your Majesty?" Nukel closed his mouth and asked in shock.

"Add another three to five centurions to supplement them. In addition, form a new cavalry legion. Our next task is to form a large legion before Darkus comes back that he will not talk about endlessly when he comes back. This is The reason why I called Chagorosh was to transfer some of the officers and soldiers of this newly formed legion to join the newly formed legion, three! No! Two! Plus this legion, there are three infantry legions in total! , plus the cavalry corps and other arms to form a large army, what is your opinion?”

"A large army composed of infantry, ballistae, cavalry, engineers, transport troops, cold lizard knights, war beasts and warlocks? No longer the previous large army composed of three infantry legions? A large army with tens of thousands of people capable of independent combat A mixed force of multiple arms? Of course! The legion has the ability to fight independently, but it is not strong enough at the operational level... Our command system... and from a strategic level, a single legion cannot provide enough containment. When... Against a superior enemy, it is impossible to buy enough time for the overall strategy.”

Malekith stared at Newkel who was hesitating at the end. He knew what was hidden or unsaid in Newkel's words. He was waffling and unable to cooperate. Those powers were only on paper. When applied in practice, There are always all kinds of bad things going wrong. This is the reason for forming a large army, otherwise there will be independent fighting due to independent command authority. When nearby troops need support, they will ignore it and launch an attack. In the end, they will still be nothing.

Moreover, this contradiction was manifested when the number of troops was small before. He could not imagine what terrible things would happen when the 800,000 troops were still like this. Just like before, he had had enough of being driven into the sea by Asul, he couldn't bear another defeat. Kill all those fear lords? But this doesn't solve the problem.

"A large army spreads out in a diamond shape and advances towards its destination? When an army faces a superior enemy, it can launch a defense. In less than a day, the troops scattered around can rush over to support and attack together! Your Majesty, that cavalry What is the composition of the army?”

"You also know that in past battles, cavalry units are usually not fully staffed due to various problems. It is good enough for a century to maintain a number of 80. The basic tactical formation of cavalry is two rows of horizontal columns. The number of centuries can be arranged in different combinations to form larger horizontal columns, columns, echelons, or even square formations. A century is 40 to 50 meters wide when it is arranged in two rows, and the distance between the first and second rows is 2 to 3 meters." Malekith said at the end, and his orange eyes looked at Newker who was standing there thinking.

"Twenty centurions?"

"Almost? Twenty should be enough. When the time comes, we will march and make the second adjustment after we have formed them. But we don't have so many war horses now. So, we will draw the three to five centurions I mentioned just now into the cavalry corps, and first form a cavalry corps consisting of ten centurions to build the framework, and then we will talk about it later when we have horses. The cavalry corps will not have a commander for the time being, and will be commanded and deployed by the large army. It will serve as a mobile force during the march and be organized before the battle."

"No commander? I agree!" Newker nodded in agreement after thinking for a moment. He understood what Malekith meant. If a commander is set up, there is a high possibility that the past problems will occur. When the infantry needs support, the cavalry is late. It may be a deployment problem, but it is more of a merit-seeking or other political problem.

If the commander of the large army is in command, it will be different. As the commander of the large army, he will consider the problems of the entire large army. The commander will disperse the cavalry to cover the entire large army. If the cavalry is late, it is the problem of the cavalry, and the consequences will be serious.

"Your Majesty, where are the supplies?" asked Hirsis, who had been standing by. What Newker and the Witch King were discussing was beyond his scope of cognition. Although he was a dread lord, some dread lords could only lead 500 people, and some... and he knew that leading 5,000 people was the limit for him, which was an infantry legion. If he led more, he would be exhausted. Perhaps it was the right decision for him to serve as the Night Warden of Nagarond. In addition, he found that the two of them did not seem to have considered an important issue.

"That is something that Dacus should consider. When he comes back, he will be responsible for the logistics of the army. I guess we will quarrel again by then." Malekith said in a strong tone. At the end, he sighed and shook his head. He didn't even need to think about it to know that Dacus would definitely quarrel with him and Newker by then.

After Malekith mentioned logistics and Dacus, the atmosphere on the reviewing stand became silent. He turned around again and looked at the army in training in the distance. The dread spearmen kept stabbing, the black crossbowmen accurately shot at the target, and the dark swordsmen chopped with shields. Every move showed elite combat skills and impeccable discipline. His thoughts were surging as he watched all this.

After a long time, he turned his head and looked at Newker as if he had made some important decision. Newker in front of him looked older than before. He knew that Newker's life had long exceeded the limit of the elves, and was maintained by some methods and beliefs. He could feel that Newker was obviously much older than when he first came to Clarkarond.

"Can your body hold on?" Malekith asked, his voice full of concern and uneasiness.

"I have to hold on even if I can't. I have to die in Ulthuan and Nagaryth!" Newker showed a stubborn smile on his face, and he answered firmly.

"This is why I don't like you." Newker's resounding words did not make Malekith look admiring, but instead showed a look of disgust.

"Your Majesty, I know."

"Before parting with Dacus, he mentioned to me the establishment of a war staff department, with the war staff department as the core to carry out military construction. I think he is right. We should have such a department. In my opinion, many fear lords can't even command a legion, let alone a larger legion." Malekith ignored Newkel and talked about other things.

Newkel knew about this. Dacus had mentioned the idea to him during the half year he served as his squire. But he suppressed it because he knew what this department meant. This department touched the core of Naggaroth politics. If it was not handled properly, something big would happen. Moreover, the opinions and ideas of establishing this department should not be proposed by the Hell Disaster Family, but now... the situation has become different.

"Do you know why Dacus asked those dread lords to invest? Economically? He and I are not short of money, it's mainly politics and military." Malekith knew from Newker's reaction that Dacus should have mentioned this to Newker a long time ago, and Newker, or the Hell Disaster Family, was as cautious as ever, unlike his friend's crazy daughter.

Newker showed a surprised look. He had guessed it a long time ago, but he didn't expect that Malekith and Dacus would want to make such a big deal. It seems that some of his friends will not live long, but he is not going to remind them of anything. In his opinion, this is a good thing. He has never been so satisfied with his friends' performance on the battlefield.

"This department will be built by you, you will be the chief of staff, you should build the system first..."

"Your Majesty, shouldn't this department be established by you? I can only assist at most." Before Malekith finished speaking, Newker knelt on the ground. He said in a panic, with a trembling tone.

"How many years have you been the Valahal of Clar Karon? Do you remember? What? Are you addicted to it?" Malekith looked at Newkor, who was kneeling on the ground, with a hint of displeasure and complex emotions in his eyes. There was a hint of teasing in his voice, but more of an expectation and oppression.

"Your Majesty, what about you?" Newkor raised his head, his eyes full of awe.

"Me?" Malekith's eyes suddenly became deep and firm. He first laughed loudly, and his laughter was full of confidence and pride.
