Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 401 Teclis' Conspiracy

Under Davian's unremitting efforts, the second magic swordsman Oggsg reluctantly agreed to lead some Hoth magic swordsmen to Lustria to support Caledon's war against the rats.

Alfonso and his family, as representatives of the magic swordsman council, have shown goodwill towards Caledo.

On the other side, the Zhigao Archmage Belannar is still on the shelf, researching knowledge that no one cares about.

Another influential archmage, Teclis, is plotting something in Bretonnia in the Old World.

The Arden Forest in the Principality of Artois in Bretonnia is a gathering place for greenskins, beastmen, and undead. The Duke located here often organizes people to clear all kinds of monsters hidden in the depths that threaten the lady's territory.

But today, a group of uninvited guests ushered in.

Teclis carefully inspected the situation here with a scrutinizing gaze. The chaotic wind of magic is entrenched here, the wagggh energy of the green skin, the evil breath of the beastman shaman, the death wind of the undead, and some familiar but Also unfamiliar Lilith divine power.

A team of 300 people is on alert, guarding the Archmage, including the Sword Master of Hoeth, the Dragon Prince, and halberd-wielding soldiers known as the Dragon Prince's Guards.

After Teclis helped Volan and others establish a magic academy in Altdorf, a group of elves from Ulthuan planned to return to their homeland from Marienburg.

Bretonnia, located in the south of the empire, is the last part of the journey.

Teclis squatted down and checked the guide stone fragments scattered on the ground. As an ancient elf colony, there were many guide stones in Bretonnia.

These exquisitely designed magic items, which took a lot of time and resources to successfully create, are still maintaining the stability of the wind of magic in the world.

But Teclis's trip was not intended to check whether the guide stones in Bretonnia were still stable, but to do the opposite.

A dragon prince rode up to the archmage. Although he didn't want to get off his horse and explain the matter, the task assigned by the prince still had to be completed.

After getting off his horse, the Dragon Prince indicated with his eyes that he had something to communicate with Teclis.

The archmage also wisely cast a sound-proof magic, waiting for the warrior's words.

"The guide stones in the north have been blasted to pieces by us. I hope you know what you are doing." The Dragon Prince looked at Teclis coldly. The guide stones are the treasures of Asur, although these things fell into the hands of human monkeys. , but destroying it with your own hands will inevitably cause some guilt in your heart.

Teclis nodded to show that he understood, and faded the magic.

The guide stone is the key to maintaining the stability of the wind of magic, and there are three guide stones in the Arden forest, as long as one of them is blown up, a riot will form.

This means...

Teclis raised his head and looked at the lake not far away. The moss-covered sculpture stood in the center of the lake, and there was only a two-meter-wide path connecting it to the surrounding land.

A sudden riot, an invasion of the sanctuary of the sacred land of the goddess of the lake.

Lilith asked Teclis to come to Bretonnia to help humans get rid of the necromancers entrenched here, and the archmage, who likes to over-interpret, thinks that it is not enough to just deal with the undead, and the green skins and beastmen here must be dealt with. Let's solve it together.

And the sheer number of monsters in Arden Forest might make Bretonnia's guardian, the Green Knight, appear here.

Teclis' target is him, this Gilles who is considered by the people of Bretonnia to be the founding king!
"Let's go, we need to find a place to help humans get rid of the necromancer." Teclis clenched the guide stone fragments he took out from the soil, and then let go of his palm, allowing the precious material to fall out of his palm.

Five hours after the guide stone was shattered, the civilians in the villages around the Arden Forest felt that something was wrong. The wind tonight was darker than before, as if it was the cold wind brought by the Norsca dragon boat plunder.

And this feeling did not keep them waiting for long. A large number of Beastmen with dirty fur and eyes full of desire for human flesh have rushed out of the Arden Forest, and the screaming shamans released evil spells, leaving some still outside the fence. The body of the guarding soldier changed, the originally upright body gradually fell to the ground, and his hands and feet deformed.

In just a few minutes, it became like a monster that rushed into the village.

The bell began to ring, and a large number of civilians who were still sleeping soundly in the dilapidated houses, under the loud yelling of the knight attendants, rushed to the armory, took their spears and leather armor, and ran towards the outskirts of the village.

Groups of wriggling yellow creatures are rushing towards the wooden gate. Driven by the Beastmen, the furious tusked beasts frantically attack the human world. The speed of four-legged beasts is much faster than that of two-legged beasts.

A wrinkled farmer who was tortured by life, when he threw his legs and ran, he couldn't help looking back in fear, but he could only see the fangs beast getting closer.

"Ah! Ah!"

Not surprisingly, the man was impaled on the body by the Tusk Beast, and then devoured by the hungry beasts.

"Close the gate!" The kingdom knight who came to the gate immediately issued an order. Even though he saw the civilians still running outside, he still chose to close the gate.

The creaking sound of the wooden door when it was closed brought hope to the people in the village, and despaired to those still running outside.

The peasants with simple longbows stepped onto the platform, lit the oilcloth wrapped around the arrows with a bonfire, and shot straight into the darkness.

Hundreds of long arrows flew out in disorder, and on the way of flight, they vaguely illuminated the bloody eyes lurking in the darkness.

The rocket hit the ground, causing some painful hissing, but this made the Bretonnians feel a little excited, and was immediately engulfed by the endless herd.

The gaps between the trees are full of beastmen, short and thin low-horned beasts, horned beasts with simple protection, and big-horned beasts with tall muscles.

What is even more frightening is undoubtedly a Crazy Whispering Beast that is spreading its broken wings, its huge mouthparts are dripping a lot of yellow mucus, and its whole body is covered with dark green scales.

"Damn it, ma'am, is this my trial?" The kingdom knight standing on the platform clenched the long sword at his waist. His village was nothing but an unusual place in Artois.

There is only one knight of the kingdom, and five fledgling ranger knights, and the rest are lowly civilians. How can this resist the army of beastmen?

But the Beastman didn't care about the thoughts of the knights of the Kingdom. In the sound of the horn of the Beastmaster, the bloodthirsty beast heard the call of human flesh, and sweet dreams appeared in his mind.

Crazy, roaring, furious, all the emotions that can make a normal person go crazy in an instant appeared in the beast man's mind.

The earth is trembling, and the land protected by the goddess of the lake is being trampled on by wild beastmen!
