Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 229 Anxiety and Determination
In the early spring, the Usko River was still exuding a bone-chilling chill, and broken ice cubes of different sizes rushed down the river. This river named after the god Kislev was the branch of this cold kingdom and empire. one of the boundaries.

After starting from Orengrad, the closer to the south, the more and more gathering places can be seen. This is one of the few lands in Kislev that is suitable for human survival.

But this gradually changed with the arrival of Chaos Invasion.

Imrik withdrew the Spear of Heroism from the Kurgan's body, and immediately attacked the nearby enemies. Along the way, he would encounter small-scale Chaos troops here from time to time. Perhaps their mission was to investigate Information, but the villages waiting to be slaughtered in front of them made them forget this duty, and only wanted to use killing and souls to satisfy the eternally hungry Chaos Gods.

Fire and gunpowder filled the village. By the time Caledor's army arrived, the Chaos army had been attacking for a long time. Only those corpses lying on the ground with painful expressions proved that this was their homeland and they depended on it for survival. The place.

After the last Kurgan was beheaded by Davian's sword, the encounter was barely over, but Imrik knew that the situation here was just a microcosm of Kislev now, except for Taisho Erengrad, where the church is located, and Kislev, where the tsar sits, and the villages and markets scattered outside the city have all turned into ruins emitting gunpowder smoke.

Imrik, who was standing in the center of the village, waited for a while. Bruni, who was in charge of searching for survivors, came over and slowly shook his head. There was also a little sadness in his eyes. Obviously, there were no living people here.

After hearing the news, I couldn't help sighing. Although I was mentally prepared for this situation, I still felt sad when I really found out.

Waving, Imrik motioned for the guide sent by the High Patriarch to come over.

The guide walked over tremblingly. He had imagined the fighting power of these elves before, but he never thought that it would be so exaggerated. Those wearing dragon wing helmets were like Ersun charging towards their prey, and no enemy could stop them One attack, as for the halberd-wielding warrior standing next to the lord in front of him, it was no less impressive. It turned Mrs. Kisly's frightened Kurgan cavalry charge into a joke. The exaggerated halberd could even cut a man and a horse in two. Half.

"My lord, what are your orders?" The guide's tone was very humble, not at all like he was a little unhappy two days ago, he finally understood why an army of only 5000 people dared to go to Kislev to fight against the Eternal God, if brother Shamans have this kind of combat power, and it is not a problem to kill them in the Chaos Wasteland.

"How far is it from Kislev here? I need an accurate answer." A sense of uneasiness loomed in the Dragon Prince's heart. The relative distance between Prago and Kislev was shorter than that of Erengrad. At the time of the information transmission, Eternal God Chosen may have led the Chaos coalition forces to besiege Kislev, and Masnow has not returned yet, which made him feel a little anxious.

"Five days, if you don't encounter a large number of Chaos troops along the way, you can reach the border of Kislev City in five days." The guide immediately replied that this speed is already considered very fast, after all, he still has Logistics personnel, the speed of those baggage vehicles cannot be changed by manpower.

This answer did not satisfy Imrik. Even with the blessing of Bruni's halo, it took four days to rush here from Erengrad, and it would take five days to reach Kislev. Many unexpected situations can occur. If you march with cavalry in a hurry, you can shorten a lot of time.

"I don't recommend that you march to Kislev with cavalry in a hurry. We need to wait for the empire to arrive before we can fight Chaos." Teclis interjected next to him, ignoring the angry eyes of the dragon princes around him, and said own opinion.

After hearing this, Imrik patted his head with his hands, reminding himself to be calm. Maslow was a little anxious because he hadn't returned, but he couldn't make a strategic mistake because of this incident.

"No need to do that. We march normally. If we encounter large-scale troops, we will draw their attention and delay for some time."

…………

Mordheim in the northeast of the empire, once the center of the Ostermark Territory, has become the darkest place in the empire after being hit by a giant comet in 1999 in the imperial calendar, wandering around the Opera House The ghosts of the ghosts, the twisted creations that can be seen everywhere, and the giant green meteorite in the deep pit.

"My lord, I think it's better for us to leave here as soon as possible. I have a bad feeling that something seems to be spying on me." A knight in heavy plate armor spoke with a little fear in his tone, and told what he saw Report to Magnus.

Magnus nodded to show that he understood. This place is a terrifying existence that the empire cannot avoid. Most of the strange events that happened in Ostermark Territory originated from Mordheim, and this may be the truth. .

At the beginning, he wanted to solve this hazard forever, but only after he arrived did he realize how strong the chaotic energy is here, even if his soldiers will not be substantially affected under the protection of Sigma and Ulric, but There are still many people who have hallucinations in their minds, and then ran towards the meteorite like crazy, and finally turned into a pool of blood.

"Put all the fuel and wood on it. We need to purify this place first, and then seal it." Magnus commanded his soldiers to act immediately. After this unprecedented chaotic storm appeared, the existence of Mordheim It has seriously threatened the Ostermark Territory and the empire. The corpses in the hell swamp far away from here crawled out of the quagmire and attacked the village without the command of the necromancer. If no measures are taken, the empire will soon have to organize A war against the undead.

A large amount of fuel and wood were thrown into Mordheim by catapults. No one wanted to enter this cursed place. Even Magnus could not guarantee that he could get close with the protection of Sigma and Ulric. The green meteorite can only do this kind of action now, and then find a way to avoid future troubles.

The soaring flames illuminated the sky, and the strong stench was scattered from the city along with the black smoke. Magnus ordered everyone to retreat to the rear. These things that looked like smoke had turned into poisonous gas that could threaten life.

After seeing everyone leave, Magnus chose to enter this cursed city alone. He needed to do something for the empire within his power before Urick's revelation was realized.
