Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 680 Death Fight and Compromise

As the cold wind howled, the imperial knight's roar became more and more wild. Many people already understood that this might have become a confrontation between gods.

The inspired White Wolf Knight reversed his decline. It can be expected that when this battle is over, he will definitely go to Futu, the holy land of White Wolf believers, and become a Teutonic guard to guard the Euric Flame.

Feeling the pressure, the Holy Grail Knight raised his shield to defend and chanted the lady's destiny. He did not pray for the lady to give her strength, but when he said the name, it symbolized victory.

The two sides have returned to the same starting line. The warriors with endless energy do not mind using the clanging sounds of weapons to praise the gods of faith.

Tyrion had a strange look on his face and whispered to Imric, who had spent a lot of time in the old world. He originally wanted to ask his brother Teclis, but he didn't know where he went.

"All humans rely on gods to fight?"

Imrik asked, how should he answer this question? Tyrion did not rely on any divine power, he only relied on the sun sword and dragon armor to conquer the world, coupled with his unimaginable martial arts and the blood of Aenarion. His physique is like an ox competing for divine power.

Calling Tyrion to come closer, he whispered,

"This is a minority, but there is no doubt that human beings have an upper limit, and this is the only way to reach the end."

Tyrion nodded thoughtfully. He was quite satisfied with his own strength for the time being. He had not yet encountered an opponent that was difficult to deal with. Even the vampire he met last time just spent some time and effort to get rid of him. Its fleet is eternally sunk in the ocean.

Seeing Brother Tai's actions, Imric reminded him in a low voice, "Don't think about whether these things exist or not. What a warrior relies on most is himself. Superb martial arts and unyielding physical fitness are the right path."

This is because he is worried that when Brother Tai gets angry, he will want to pull out the Kane sword when his anger rises, and then the situation will change drastically.

"You still call yourself Sotek the God of Choice."

"Bah, I feel sick thinking about this divine choice. Who do you think can win?"

"White Wolf Knight, your will and physique are obviously higher than your opponent's."

While they were chatting about each other, the curtain of the competition quickly came to an end. The White Wolf Knight seized an opportunity and aimed at the already fragile shield. After an encounter with the golden sword, he swung his warhammer and slashed it above his head. A circle, hitting the iron shield riddled with holes.

But the Holy Grail Knight obviously also noticed that it was difficult to maintain the shield. However, facing this powerful and heavy offensive, he could not choose to hold the sword to resist. He could only bend his knees, raise the shield, and transmit the impact force to the ground.

The sharp sword in his hand immediately thrust out, pointing directly at the White Wolf Knight's chest to make the opponent retreat.

But if you are afraid of death, you will never become a follower of Ulric. The White Wolf Knight grinned and howled, sending a deathbed elegy to himself and his opponent.

The warhammer shattered the wooden shield and hit the Holy Grail Knight's chest. The sharp blade at the front pierced the armor and sunk deep into it, hitting his heart.

The golden sword also pierced the chest of the White Wolf Knight. After piercing the heart, it connected the front and back, and the blade penetrated from the back.

Silence, this is the current atmosphere. The battle in the name of God is so cruel. Both sides will not take a step back. Even if they die together, their faith cannot be stained with a trace of stigma.

Half a minute later, seeing that the two knights still made no next move, 'Teclis' carefully checked the characteristics of the life form and found that there was indeed no life.

Ask both sides if they would like to accept a scoreless draw or continue the contest.

Magnus looked a little embarrassed, but he still accepted that this was no longer a pure competition. After representatives of all forces appeared, the winner would have higher priority on resources, geography, etc. in the future.

He was more willing to solve it this way than the sky-high financial expenditure required to lead the troops to confront Bretonnia in the West.

Sacrifice a few knights in exchange for the hard-won stable development of the empire, it doesn't matter!

This is the emperor's duty!
"continue."

A white wolf knight walked onto the playing field, indifferent to his brothers who died in the battle. He held the warhammer in his hand and prayed to Ulric in a low voice, willing to dedicate his life to the empire.

On the contrary, Henry was a little hesitant. Although the one who died in the battle was not the Tenth Duke, he still owned a large territory.

The national conditions of Bretonnia and the Empire are different. Even if a few inner ring knights die in the Empire, the selected knight system can still ensure the rapid replacement of personnel. However, the knights of Bretonnia are not only military status, but also a symbol of social status.

Once the family's Holy Grail Knight is killed in battle, it means that the descendants need to stop seeking the oath and rush back to Bretonnia to protect the territory. This can easily trigger a vicious cycle.A kingdom that is unable to protect its territory dies, and future generations are unable to inherit it. They can only become knights errant and wander around the kingdom.

The king's judgment was that there should be no stalemate with the empire. The size gap between the two sides was too large, especially the life-for-life style of Knight Ulric, which was more likely to cause fierce conflicts between the two sides.

But the believer's judgment is that they must defeat the empire, and this also determines the next style of this individual competition that should end quickly.

Looking at the angry humans and the knights from both sides fighting.

Imrik secretly thought that it was interesting. Indeed, heretics are not hateful, but heretics are the most hateful.

It is better that his side's combat power can be regarded as absolutely crushing Aslay, otherwise Caledo would not be able to bear it if he were to fight like a human being.

There was only one thing in today's game, humans versus humans. All the five White Wolf Knights who came with them were killed, and the Holy Grail Knights on the opposite side were also without exception.

There were some differences in the attitudes of the leaders of both sides. At the beginning of Bretonnia, six Holy Grail Knights had already died, including those who were beaten to pulp by the big white lizard yesterday. Henry looked embarrassed to the naked eye.

The mustachioed king glanced at Magnus and found that he was also embarrassed, but the only difference was that he had more determination and determination for the sacrifice of the warriors.

"This is not a solution and we cannot continue to waste it like this."

He signaled to terminate the game. This was not a life-and-death duel, but an alternative exchange between countries. Magnus's firm attitude actually only showed one thing. The empire was not afraid of any threats, and sacrifice was the cornerstone.

At night, Henry, who changed into casual clothes, found a quiet place to communicate with Magnus. He didn't think that Magnus was really prepared to continue such a meaningless stalemate. There must be a solution.

"What the Empire wants."

"The Colonian army left the Westland border."

"What if I say no."

"The Teutonic Guards will depart immediately."

A concise and concise threat, Magnus was not worried that Henry would continue the stalemate. If he really wanted to fight, he still had a lot of real guys in his hands.

Although the chaotic political situation in the empire caused a lot of trouble in the past, the lack of jurisdiction kept the various forces in a state of arms race and cultivated a group of elites capable of influencing the war situation.

In other words, even if they really get angry and all the manpower of both sides is lost here, the empire will just go back to starting from scratch.

Relying on the blood transfusions of Caledor and the dwarves, the meager assistance of the Kislev generals in the north, and the large professional army, they could barely survive the most difficult period.

But Bretonnia can directly declare annihilation if it loses the Holy Grail Knight.

The conflict with Estalia's savings, the wanton massacre during Arabi's expedition, the Asrai wild hunting that came in the spring, and the raiders from Norsca in the north were enough to turn the territory of the Lady of the Lake into a sea of ​​fire.

He wants to announce something to King Henry here. As long as the emperor is still Magnus and the flag hanging at the top of the palace is still the gryphon battle flag, Bretonnia will not be able to extend its tentacles to the north.

Henry thought for a long time. He didn't think Magnus had the courage to make a desperate move, but he thought he didn't have the courage either.

"You are a competent emperor. Bretonnia has given up on this individual competition. Let the empire take it."

"Smart move."

Magnus and Henry passed each other. As emperor and savior, he had the power to govern the church and political situation, which lay in the unity of the empire.

And Henry has also come to his senses. If he continues to play this game with a fanatical attitude and does not make trade-offs in certain aspects, Bretonnia will soon become the target of public criticism.

But the situation where the church prevailed over politics made him very embarrassed, especially because the lady's previous guidance now seemed to mean pushing rulers like himself into the fire.

Who can guarantee victory in this kind of competition?
