Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 540 National Consciousness
Masnow reached out to stop Creon. As a champion warrior, he had the same military rank as the prince when he set off, and the flame knight temporarily became the guard.

Looking at the general with some helplessness in his tone, "It's really a headache. If you can only care about killing the undead and saving people like Mazov, maybe Creon won't have so many opinions."

"But I can assure you of one thing. The Patriotic Army only needs to deal with battles within its capabilities. Hesiota's Sun Legion is already on its way to the old world, and the dragon will arrive soon. You now The mission is to recover Erengrad first."

The general snorted coldly, and left, his clenched hands were full of sweat. He knew the temperament of these dragon princes well, but Mrs. Kisley's dignity could not be lost, so he could only deal with it with a tough stance.

Simply put, the person in charge here is the more peaceful Masnow. If it is a few other people, I am afraid that he would not mind supporting Mazov as a general.

After the Patriotic Army left, Creon expressed a little dissatisfaction with him, relying on Caledon to become such a monkey, he dared to question his actions. He really thought that being the leader of the monkeys would make him look good.

Masnow rubbed his brows and eyes, not because he was tired from the battle, since the appearance of Abrams that night, no vampire has such an ancestor-level character.

But one's own side can't move out at will. In many cases, strong combat power is just a guarantee, which makes each other feel jealous. Unless it is a person who can really dominate the battlefield, otherwise, if he shows up easily, he will be found and the enemy will be caught off guard.

On Caledo's side, only the Champion Warrior and Iron Wolf are stable first-line figures. Creon can be regarded as a quasi-first-line figure, and Oliveira is not even half of them. As for the vampires, I am afraid that this kind of combat power will not be rare.

After the elves were the only ones in the command room, Creon expressed his doubts,
"Is the prince really not going to send people over? Eltharion and Belannar, I'm afraid the two of them won't bring troops."

"It is enough to have lizardmen. Undead are good at grinding meat, but lizardmen are better at zero-distance combat. We will not be at a disadvantage in the grassroots army. As for the top-level combat power, Ku Ga and Pacal will help The vampire brought a surprise.” Masnow played with the wooden sculpture of the giant bear on the table, he was very curious whether Ersun had any control over Kislev, from the beginning to the present, the only trace of the four righteous gods appeared was Mazov one person.

Being beaten to the point where the country is about to perish is a mutant. As the patron saint, Esun has not even been canonized as a god, and the people who vaguely support him are also very interesting. Laskol has never played the banner of the four righteous gods. They are all calling for love for the motherland.

He seems to want to strip away the influence of religion and replace people's centripetal force to the motherland with a more abstract concept, that is, national consciousness.

Mrs. Kisli, who fights against the forces of chaos and darkness, is not Mrs. Kisly, who believes in the four righteous gods and obeys the god-given power of the Khan Queen.

"He's funny, isn't he."

Masnow's out-of-context words made Creon a little clueless, so he could only nod vaguely in agreement, and he chose to change the subject to ask what happened next.

"Then our task is to wait for Davian to arrive and ensure that the Book of Nagash is always within a safe and controllable range."

"Well, your duty is not to confront the enemy many times, but to appear on the battlefield as a decisive force. This is also the purpose of the formation of the flame knights."

"understood."

Minor conflicts occurred at the headquarters, and when the elves and Kislev humans didn't get along very well, the elves on the snake's lair got along pretty well with the Kislev vampires.

Since the Blood Snake Brotherhood joined the National Defense Army, they have always maintained a common front with their comrades, and are responsible for dealing with some difficult things for humans, such as the anti-reconnaissance of vampires, or the perception of the undead. The night will never be the home of humans. .

Cooperating with the sharp increase in physical fitness after the race change, he fought many hard battles for the National Guard Army, and now the internal opposition is much smaller. After all, these fighters with faith can be regarded as Keith fighting against the forces of chaos and darkness. The Reeve creature, while a vampire, also fits the general's purpose.

Kneeling in front of the Pyramid of Blood, the Blood Snake Brotherhood began to pray to the snake god in the translated Kislev language. There were hundreds of vampire corpses placed on the stone steps. After passing by the monitor lizard priest Pacal felt a little disgusted. In his eyes, he smashed it into minced meat as a sacrifice to Sotek.

The gods like carrion. These vampires have been dead for many years, so they should be regarded as sacrifices.

Pacal, who smashed the vampire's corpse with an obsidian sledgehammer, thought about it, but the movements in his hands were not vague at all.As a blessed monitor lizard, his way of performing the ceremony is far simpler than that of the skink lizard. He didn't dissect his body and let blood out. He just smashed the flesh into fine pieces with a hammer, and put it in place to wait for the snakes in the pyramid to come out. , even if the ceremony is completed.

In other words, whether the gods like vampire meat or not doesn't seem to have been mentioned by the prophet... After thinking about it for a long time to no avail, he can only think that he likes it. After all, the prophet sometimes talks quite nagging, so I can't be sure. There is a vague hidden meaning of wanting the flesh and blood of vampires.

Compared with the monitor lizard who kept thinking about the teachings during the ceremony, the vampires in front of the pyramid seemed much more devout, deliberately imitating the sound of the lizardman's tongue-clicking, and piously praying to Sotek gift.

A group of spectators watched this weird behavior, and the National Guard sent Mazov as a representative. If Sotek really accepted the Blood Snake Brotherhood as believers, then they would have a reasonable identity.

And Elvis, who is in charge of all things of the sect in the old world, can only pray for it for a moment, he can feel the devotion of Dilaff and his party.

Constantly threatened by chaos, it has a psychology of revenge. As a kind of creation of chaos, Sotek, the terminator of horned rats, was amplified by the Blood Snake Brotherhood, thinking that it is only suitable for all creations of chaos. the Avengers.

"At least Sotek is better than Kane. He didn't ask to kill his parents." Elvis thought about this matter in his heart. After the battle of Krakalund, I am afraid it will gradually decrease.

Who can refuse an ancient monitor lizard that can slaughter half of the city, and a giant toad that can drown the city? This is much better than Kane's doctrine of killing but not burying.

Only Gaguyal, who assisted Pakar in the sacrificial activities, was a little distressed. The red-crowned skinks were much stronger and smarter than their kind, and staying in the humanoid society for the past few years also made him understand some of the differences between humans and elves. common sense.

But what is the initiation ceremony of the Sotek sect?This is something that the Skink Priest never thought about. In the past, when he fought guerrilla attacks in Lustria, the Sotek followers followed the Prophet, and the eldest son of the Old Sage returned to the temple city. This is really embarrassing, right? , the Prophet did not say how the initiation ceremony should be held.

Only the curved obsidian dagger could be wielded, and Pacal's violent movements paid tribute to Sotek.

Duofang fell into a strange silence, quietly waiting for the snakes hidden inside the pyramid to appear. Mortals offered sacrifices. This was a unilateral prayer, but whether the gods would accept it was beyond guessing.

After waiting for a long time, a large number of hoarse and tongue-thumping sounds unique to snakes began to appear in the cracks between the bricks and stones. The cold-blooded snakes from Lustria didn't mind enjoying these dead bodies that had been frozen for a long time, and opened their mouths full of fine teeth. Carl swallowed the minced meat carefully prepared.

Ecstasy appeared on the faces of Dilaff and his group of vampires. The success of the ceremony meant that Sotek accepted the sacrifice, and more importantly, the creature who offered the sacrifice.

As a reward, some venomous snakes with scarlet scales climbed onto the vampire's body, and pierced the cold neck with their fangs.

They could feel something pouring in, the bloodthirst from their race origin dissipating.

The Blood Snake Brotherhood crawled in front of the pyramid, and suddenly understood one thing, all the blood should be given to Sotek first, so that only the disciples can decide how to use it, not the believers.
