Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 121 The Power of the Straight Man of Steel

Malekith, the Witch King, many people call him Whip of Fear, Shadow of Naggaroth, Lord of the Black Tower... Countless code names representing death and fear are on him, but Malekith only Care about whether a title is respected - Son of Aenarion.

Even betraying the eternal vow with his best friend Snorri made him feel a little guilty, but after thousands of years of distorted life and morbid psychology entangled in him, he no longer cared about any opinions.

But the son of Enario is the only identity in his dark soul that still has a little sense of honor, and this kind of concern is the source of the eternal hatred between Druzzi and Azul.

He is the orthodox Phoenix King of Ulthuan, and the kingship should belong to Malekith, the son of Aenarion.

In Tar Anlek's dark tent, there are many people, headed by the Witch King wearing midnight armor.

Malekith's tactics were very successful. Under the internal and external attack, the Phoenix Gate and the Griffin Gate have been breached, and the Dragon Gate is still relying on the large number of war devices left by Caledor before, but it is only a matter of time before the invasion. The actions of other kingdoms were also very smooth, but they encountered resistance in Tyrannok, and Caledon's reinforcements made the battle situation very anxious.

The Phoenix King is also trapped in Lothern, as long as the Eternal Queen is captured, the royal power will return to the hands of the son of Enarion.

But the Eternal Queen...

Dorian has never heard any news about the Eternal Queen, and even the connection between the two has been interrupted inexplicably, which made Malekith feel uneasy and even a little scared. This magic mirror he personally designed has never failed However, it has been able to successfully contact spies all over the world for many years.

But at this crucial moment, Dorian could not be contacted. Could it be that the legion had failed, or the magic mirror fell into the hands of the enemy, or some kind of powerful magic interfered with the effect of the magic mirror? For what reason, Malekith did not know.

The land of Avalon had a powerful and mysterious spell that might be able to take his life, and as the Witch King, Malekith would certainly not let that happen.

Following Malekith's orders, the four arrived in the camp not long after.

"Catch the Everqueen, and you'll get whatever you want." The Witch King's hoarse voice, like steel rubbing against steel, came out of his midnight armor, making these four of Naggaroth's deadliest killers an offer they couldn't refuse.

Then let the four of them pick up the stone crow talisman on the table, which can not only indicate that they are the special envoy of the Witch King, but also allow Malekith to communicate with them at any time.

After the four of them retreated, Malekith, who was covered in midnight armor, looked at the naked Druzzi woman in the camp. She had a slain rune on her body, and the aura she radiated stimulated everyone's nerves. , mobilizing the upsurge of lust.

Nakari, a Slaanesh who only serves him, has told Malekith through long-term experience that he needs to be prepared with both hands, but if Slaanesh is put into the real world, even if it is the Witch King, there is no guarantee Can control this monster.

"This is just a backup method." After hesitating for a moment, Malekith reminded himself.

…………

Dorian felt that he had been tricked. The Caledonian who fled with the Eternal Queen did not appear in the east of the Eden Valley. He had led people to search there for two days, but still had nothing to gain, while there were people in the west Found the bodies of some Halgan West Witch Spirits.

Dorian squatted down to inspect the witch spirit who had been burned by the flames. There was no blood on the wound on the body, and the blood evaporated instantly. Obviously, the attacker used a magic weapon with a flame attribute. Judging from the openings, was pierced by a spear.

He thought of a possibility - the star lance, the dragon spear that pierced the heads of countless dread lords, but the gap was square instead of round, which made him question this idea a bit.

And the black marks on the severed witch spirit blade should be caused by the long sword, and he thought of a legendary weapon—the dragon fire sword.

The artifact that accompanied Prince Caledor in fighting on the battlefield, and the Shining Star Dragon that appeared once and then left, the person who saved the Eternal Queen may be the current Prince Caledor, Imric.

The emergence of this speculation made him feel chills. Caledon was the kingdom that surrendered all the domestic invaders at the fastest speed. Even though it had focused on attacking it, it still had no effect.

As one of the most closed kingdoms, the number of spies inside Caledon has always been difficult to increase, and many have been cleaned up in the past two years, which makes it difficult for Naggaroth to obtain relevant first-hand information.

According to his calculations, in order to quickly capture Caledor, the coalition forces of Naggarond and Heig Grave must directly attack Tal Kared from the Dragon's Back Mountain Range, otherwise the possibility is extremely low.

If Caledon wiped out the Naggaroth army in Terrenlock, marched from the Eagle Gate, and the high-level dragon prince and dragon mage directly supported the dragon prince, then it would be a dream to capture the eternal queen.

The Witch King is no longer in contact with him. If he wants to make up for this mistake, he must capture the Eternal Queen and the Dragon Prince and dedicate them to Malekith, which can appease the anger of the real Phoenix King.

…………

Imric, who was leaning on the tree, watched Alarielle's movements, and saw that she took out the bow made of wooden sticks and bark, and put the arrow made of stones tied with thin vines on the bowstring, and pointed towards Shooting at a bird on a tree, if you don't care about the target, just look at her posture, it's really quite standard.

To be honest, this was a waste of life, but Imrik didn't stop her behavior and didn't let her remember. She might not be very good at cooperating with her actions in the future.

After the sound of the bowstring rebounding, the little bird was shot down from the tree. Alarielle let out an exclamation, and then turned her head to claim credit for Imrik, "Well, I'll just say it works."

Shaking his head helplessly, the Dragon Prince stood up and picked up the heroic spear, arched his legs slightly under Alarielle's puzzled eyes, put the heroic spear on his shoulder, and threw it towards a place in the forest, followed by There was a scream of an animal in the distance, and he walked towards that place without saying anything.

A few minutes later, Imrik returned with a deer in his hand.

Holding the bird that was not as big as a fist, Alarielle felt a little embarrassed. She worked hard for a long time and shot a bird. Others just threw a shot and hit a prey that big.

"If it's in the army camp, I'll throw you into a mine to dig rocks just for taking credit for it." Imrik sat down and began to dissect the deer, drawing a small knife from his waist.

The environment in Avalon is a bit humid, so I plan to make some bacon and bring it with me, so as not to spoil it and make it hard to swallow. The deer's weight should last for a few days.

"I'm a little curious if you are from Avalon. This deer is far away, and it's so dark that I didn't even notice a trace." Alarielle also knew that she had become a complete burden now, so she Even the experience of living in the forest all year round was completely crushed by Imrik, which severely hit her self-confidence.

"If you had to face all kinds of enemies in childhood to gain the qualification to live, you would also adapt to all kinds of environments." Imrik, who was cutting his thigh, responded, this sentence is not saying Myself, but the dragon memory I obtained before, although most of it has been forgotten, but some hunting experience is still retained, and it is just a breeze to find a prey hiding in a corner.

And Imrik's words obviously caused Alarielle's misunderstanding. She thought that the Dragon Prince lived in the Dragon's Back Mountains or the Annuli Mountains to fight with various beasts since she was a child. She hesitated and said, "Dragon Trainer Family Are heirs cultivated in this way, even if their lives are in danger?"

"The responsibility of the family rests on our shoulders. Once we show any weakness, those who peep at the power of the dragon will flock to us. Bloodlines not only symbolize honor, but also obligations." The Dragon Prince responded casually.

After cutting off the deer's legs and hanging them over the campfire on a few sticks, Imrik asked Alarielle's first question, "So what was your childhood like?"

Alarielle wrapped her arms around her legs and sat on a rock. Hearing Imrik's words, there was some nostalgia and sadness in her eyes.

"My childhood grew up in Avalon, surrounded by bows and arrows and forests, and the maids held banquets at night, and we shared songs and dances around all kinds of food and drinks. Lilith's blessing goes through the forest, making each of us feel happy."

"Then when I was 16 years old, I went to the court to learn all kinds of knowledge and magic..."

"I met a lot of people during this period, Lirazer, Grace...we grew up together, listened to the praises of those poets, and felt the blessings of Aisha..."

As she spoke, Alarielle's tone was a little choked up, matching her weak figure, if it was any normal Azul, he would definitely sit next to her and comfort her, so as to win her favor and win the eternity Love.

But Imrik just twisted his neck, and then handed over a grilled deer steak, directly interrupting her memory, "If you want to cry, you can cry later, even if you fill the Sea of ​​Dreams, I have no problem .”

Still wanting to wait for some comfort, Alarielle snatched the deer steak and took a big bite, looking at the force, as if she was gnawing on Imrik's ribs.
