Warhammer Throne

The empire failed.

On the fifth day after the Battle of Heffunken, Vlad von Kastein sat in the city of Essien, south of Ostmark. The Lord of Silvania looked very angry. He The angry look was as uncontrollable as a beast, no one dared to disturb the blood ancestor's anger.

The death king's eyes were red, and he hit the table with a fist, hammering the decayed wooden table to pieces.

The empire could have won this battle!

He had already seen the dawn of victory! At that time, Keron was dead, the gas tank was half crippled by him, and nearly half of his body was crystallized. Marius and Ivan’s half-griffin riders were regrouping, and Akhan was pulling up one. A huge number of legions, including fifteen grave guard legions and nine black knight legions plus six spirit-bound knight legions-as we all know, this battlefield is an excellent corpse for the undead, and the undead army can Summoned directly on the battlefield and put into battle.

Vlad had already thought about how to temporarily conclude an armistice agreement with the emperor of the empire after the victory of the war. He had already written a speech in Gurek. It took him several days to consider and After considering the words, Ackhan was still his editor and reviewed and reviewed three times. In order to be immersive, Vlad was still rehearsing at Ostermark’s cemetery when there was no one at night. After many times, a group of Castine blood descent was called to applaud and strengthen confidence.

All this is ruined! The betrayal of Varazzi-Haken! The head of the blood dragon got the attention of the evil **** after he entered the Chaos Wasteland, and he was willing to give him blood, battle, glory, and endless challenges. There was only a fighting brain in his mind and he agreed without thinking for too long. .

This is fatal. The blood dragon knights of Varazzi not only destroyed the hope of victory in this war, but also killed the emperor of the empire. Vlad saw the great griffin descend from the sky on a large group of chaos warriors. He didn't believe that the emperor could survive.

Naturally, Vlad will not let Varazzi go. Perhaps the original Vlad will fight Valazzi, but now as the Death Lord, he completely suppresses Valazzi in terms of strength. After a battle, Vlad seized the opportunity to secretly seize control of the Bone Dragon under Varazzi's seat, and then swung his blood-drinking sword to cut down Varazzi's head.

Now, the head of the blood dragon leader Varazzi Harken was placed on the table. His blood-red eyes, dead expression and wounded head told Vlad's power.

If the Battle of Hufffunken can end in this way, at least the Empire and the Undead Alliance will not lose too badly. Vlad plans to let the undead army continue to attack, repel the Chaos Army and cover the retreat of the Empire at the same time, the Empire’s 90,000 There are at least 30,000 or 40,000 people left, and there may be a battle to retreat to Tarabeheim.

However, when his wife, Isabella von Kastein appeared on the battlefield, Vlad was unable to maintain his sanity. The Death Lord knew very well what Isabella’s presence in the Chaos Army meant, and very It is clear why a large group of demons of Nurgle followed her, and it is also clear why she appeared here, but when Isabella smiled enthusiastically at him and stretched out her hands to ask Vlad for a hug, Vlad still fell. , No matter how long it has passed, no matter how many things have gone through, Isabella is an irresistible existence for Vlad.

Then, a poisoned dagger pierced Vlad's chest, and the death prince was killed on the spot by his wife-or the phantom named Isabella.

But Vlad did not get nothing. At the moment before he died, he saw the pain and confusion in Isabella’s eyes. He was 100% sure that this was his wife, Isabella’s soul and body were taken into account. Grime was captured, twisted, and turned into something else, but the bond between them would not disappear. She was only brainwashed and bewitched. After being killed by his wife herself, Vlad knew that he could save it. She came out, just need some time and preparation.

I won't let you wait too long, my wife.

Of course, the cost of Vlad trying to understand whether Isabella was his wife was huge. The Death Maharaja was killed on the spot, and it took him three full days to resurrect. After seeing Vlad down, Arkhan did not follow Vlad’s order to fight. The Lich King chose to retreat. The army of the undead then retreated, still yelling "Sorry" and "Fighting well" Deep Sea King Luther Harken, the old blood dragon Another direct disciple of Zu was forcibly dragged away by Gul pinched his neck.

Vlad can understand the thinking of Arkhan, the Lich King. Arkhan is not willing to go desperately. The loyal servant of Nagash has to keep his own life and useful body until the time comes to resurrection. He is still trapped in the Black Pyramid. Lord of the dead inside.

Ah! How long will Nagash have to wait for the next resurrection? 500 years? 1000 years? 1500?

Vlad couldn't help but snorted. I think Nagash is out of play. The first two resurrections of the Lord of the Dead can be said to have died physically and the soul is not damaged, but this time is different. Nagash is in the process of resurrection. Manfred took a large part of his power, and then was laughed at by himself. He had already achieved the ability to fight against Nagash.

The era of Nagash is over.

Even if the Lord of the Dead can really be resurrected again, he will lose absolute control over Vlad.

After snorting, Vlad immediately put away his sneer, and the death lord forced his attention to the war before him.

The loss has been caused, the imperial army has been defeated, the momentum of the servants of Destructive Force has become indestructible, and Vlad himself has been forced to evacuate, and he has suffered too much humiliation for more than half of his life.

"God's chaos! Asshole bastard!" He cursed toward Varazzi's head, not knowing who he was cursing.

Hufffunken was defeated, and the loss of the empire was devastating. The 90,000 empires who participated in the war did not know if 10,000 people escaped. He only noticed Rick Helberg and the emperor’s flag officer Schwarz. Hammer took the remnants of Rick's guard and fled to the west, while the Charlemagne champions Woteng and Luther Hus gathered some remnants and fled to the south of Steier.

In this battle, almost two-thirds of the main force of the empire was wiped out.

The Elector Marius and the Duke of Ivan retreated towards the Osters but were overtaken by the Chaos Knights in the Shadow Forest. No one knew how they ended. Ackhan told Vlad that as Hufffun rooted Defeated, the northern defense line of the empire collapsed across the board, and the imperial army without a leader was completely destroyed.

The most terrible thing is that the imperial logistics headquarters located in the castle of Von-Zhukov was also captured by Vlasov, the **** of fear, the elector Vamier-Von-Zhukov burned all the symbols of the glory of the empire before his death. The military flag avoided falling into the hands of Chaos, where the warehouse carrying the large amount of logistics supplies and equipment that the Empire hoped had been looted.

If it weren’t for Keron’s death, and the Chaos Army was busy looting Oster and Ostermark and had no time for him to take care of him, perhaps Tarabeheim would fall immediately.

There was footsteps outside, and the Lich King Ackhan walked in. He seemed to be fearless at Vlad’s anger, and said in a somewhat mocking tone: "My dear Majesty Death, the next step is What to do, we are all waiting for your instructions."

"Are you testing this seat?" Vlad looked at Arkhan. The Lich King was still polite. He manipulated Vlad's most familiar court manners of Nikohara. There was a seemingly nonchalant smile on Han Natu's rotting flesh, but Arkhan concealed his expression well to ensure that Vlad could not make any accusations.

"I'm just waiting for your order, now, I am your servant." Akhan continued.

"If you really follow my orders, you should do what I say!" Vlad said arrogantly, and he immediately accused Arkhan of cowardice: "Instead of choosing to retreat when I leave temporarily."

"I am your servant, but a servant can't have a master." Akhan just continued: "If the master is gone, the servant's existence is meaningless."

Vlad understood that Arkhan's meaning was very simple. The loyalty of the Lich King is a limited loyalty, and this loyalty must be effective when Nagash can't sleep and Vlad is alive and able to give orders.

Perhaps for others, loyalty is not absolutely disloyal, but Vlad doesn’t care. The death army doesn’t believe that he will die again. He is now a symbol of death, and at the same time he has recovered the von Kastein ring. Who is it now? Can you kill him? Probably only the Sun King of Brittany has this kind of strength. Vlad is proud, he doesn't care.

Seeing Vlad not answering, Arkhan repeated it mechanically: "What should I do next? Please show us your Majesty the Death Lord."

"No one knows the defense of the empire better than I." Vlad said arrogantly, and the death lord leaned back in his chair. His exquisitely flawless crimson cursed armor exuded a strong air of death, thick. A cloak of mercerized mink and white fox fur was draped on the shoulders of Lord Sylvania, and Vlad brushed his pale long hair with his fingers to make sure that no one split ends or was in the wrong position. Slowly said: "Tarabeheim can't hold it. In order to fight the Battle of Heffunken, the empire has already mobilized most of the Tarabeheim army. I understand the thinking of the Middenheim people. They will only keep in isolation. ."

"So?" Akhan leaned on Nagash's spare staff, and the Lich King didn't seem to be thinking.

"So, if you want to really stop chaos, only in Braunschweig." Vlad thought of Isabella again. He once told his wife that he would be crowned eternal in Braunschweig-Charlemagne's city. The great emperor, and she is after eternity, but everything has gone with the wind, that is the most glorious culmination of one's life, and it is also the moment of sudden turn.

The Lich King was silent for two minutes, and Akhan suddenly giggled: "You really love the people of the Empire."

"I just love a throne that should belong to me, and a country that should belong to me." Vlad disapproved: "I want to establish my rule, or at least maintain my status as the lord of Silvania, and Chaos does not intend to respect me. This is why I must resist and unite."

"Then the empire will respect it?" Akhan's words were very sharp.

"Yes." Vlad stood up: "I know mortals, and I also know the empire. After the catastrophe, the old world will usher in a new round of reshuffle. After experiencing the frenzy of destruction, the living will Coexist peacefully with the dead for a period of time, and even if we can cooperate, I can wake up the endless dead to help them regain their homes. No matter how bad they are, there will be two emperors of the East and the West."

"Imperial Emperor and Emperor Sylvania?" Akhan asked directly.

"Let’s start by becoming a recognized elector." Vlad smiled: "At this time, the noble von Kastein bloodline offered to help the empire that had lost more than two-thirds of the main force and elite. What reason does the empire have to refuse?"

"They don't have the right to refuse. You are really cleverly stuck at this time." Arkhan nodded. The empire is already in danger. Even if you know that cooperating with the undead is to quench thirst and endless troubles, you can only grab this life-saving straw at this time, just like The tacit understanding between the two sides on the Golden Fortress for more than a year is the same as Karl Franz's request for help at a critical moment.

"Send your people to gather more imperial refugees, take them to Sylvania to settle and select my living army, so that Luther Harken prepares for defense along the line of Essien and Waldenhof castles, chaos I won’t ignore our Sylvania’s combat power.” Vlad walked outside: “Also, if possible, go and support Riptide Pass and Butcher’s Fort. The dwarves cannot be absent from this battle of fate in the world. "

"You really love the people of the empire." Akhan repeated.

Vlad didn't answer, he walked out carelessly.

The Lich King shook his head and sighed, but he admired Vlad's lofty ambitions. No wonder the blood of von Kastein had such charm and ambition.

Vlad loves the people of the Empire?

Of course, it is love, how is it to love?

It is like a farmer who loves the wheat in his own field.

It's like a herder loves his herd.

It's like the farmer loves the big fat pigs in the pigpen.

Vlad’s love is distorted. In his eyes, lower people are only responsible for providing blood as food and occasionally selecting some elites to become his blood. On the contrary, he is willing to provide a good living environment and force. shelter.

But Ackhan was deeply aware that although Vlad’s love was distorted, based on all his knowledge over the past 4,000 years, how many empires could truly love civilians like Vlad?

Probably no more than five.

Where is the Knight King of Breton?

Probably no more than three.

…………I am the dividing line of Vlad's love for you…………

The midwinter of 2524 of the Imperial calendar came as scheduled, and came earlier than ever. When Ryan stood in the Royal Palace of Curona and looked at the frozen ocean, the expression on his face was more serious than ever.

In December, the temperature reached minus 20 degrees, which is really abnormal, and Brittany has never been so cold.

There was heavy snow outside the window, and the fireplace was burning indoors. When Ryan looked at the documents formed by the new army, there was the sound of high heels tapping outside.

Aurora, the chief of MI7, was wearing a dark black mink coat full of luxurious jewels, and a sacred witch with her hair curled up on her head was thrown open and rushed in: "Your Majesty , There is good news!"

"Good news?" Ryan raised his head from the pile of paperwork.

"Yes, good news, MI7 got the news from the empire's branch. The empire defeated the Chaos Army in Hufffungen, annihilated more than 150,000 enemies, and killed the Eternal God of Chaos Chosen Deputy Commander Kiron-the Conqueror, and hit it hard. The main force of the Chaos, the Chaos Army has suffered heavy losses, and this winter is probably unable to continue going south!" Aurora told Ryan the news with joy.

"Really?" There was light on Ryan's face, and the Sun King took the news and couldn't help nodding his head again and again.

"Good fight, Brother Carl, I'm a waste~wu~"

"In this way, it will last a few months at least."
