Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

After Lord Whini Etanque taught the dwarf blacksmith some superficial runes, the inspired Torek spent a long time in Slanwupec.

Under the guidance of Lord Slann, Torek, who has a keen nature, created a rune transformed from the holy name of Kotek.

The effect is not outstanding, it just makes the engraved items emit a dazzling light, but this is still a big improvement, and it is named the Burning Sun Rune.

For Torek, since the golden age, rune blacksmiths are still exploring the path of their ancestors, and have not yet made any substantial breakthroughs. They are just optimizing the program again and again to strive for excellence.

It didn't matter how effective the initial search for runes was. He believed that the power of the ancient saints that the lizardmen believed in was more than just a scorching light.

If we explore to the end, we may be able to realize the miracle created by Grimnir, causing volcanic lava to surge from the ground, venting the wrath of the dwarf god of war.

As for the other companions, they were also visiting the city of the Lizardmen in an orderly manner. In addition to the important Great Pyramid and the more important incubation tank, after this period of visit, they also understood some of the situation of the eldest son of the ancient saint.

A race designed purely for war, purer than the Greenskins, born only to serve the big plan.

Torek said goodbye to Whini Aitankui and the Flower Lord. During this time, he has grown more respect for Slann. He is ancient, wise, calm and steady, which is very consistent with the dwarf's idea of ​​an elder.

He took great pains to teach himself the secrets of ancient runes, and before leaving, he also taught him the secrets of the fog like Lord Mazdamudi.

I hope that Slan at the next stop can be as easy to communicate with as Whinney Aitankui and Flower Lord.

The team set off again, first heading towards the moon city of Tarankoslan in the north, but it was obvious that Lord Odu Haran was not a Slann who liked outsiders. He was still deeply affected by the evil moon and only stayed in Crow Card Lord wakes up briefly when resurrected.

Lord Teto Kaoydaislan received a group of dwarves and indicated the specific time for Valaya to awaken, which is expected to be 200 years later. ,

After receiving the news, Torek continued to travel along a strange road without stopping, starting from the City of the Moon, looping back to the City of Mist, and arriving at the City of Sky.

The lord of the Sky City is a second-generation Slann. After the resurrection of Lord Croca, one of the two Slann in Itaza was assigned to come to this important city that symbolizes the victory of the Snake-Rat Holy War.

Compared with the temple cities in the north, the environment around this city made the dwarves frown.

The piles of rat-man skeletons piled up in mountains, the deep pits that could be stepped into without paying attention, smelled like nothing, and the beasts entrenched in this area seemed to be more savage and bloodthirsty than their counterparts in the north.

"Ashborn, tell me about the situation in the Sky City." Torek instructed the elf politely. Although this pointy-eared man had a tough mouth, he was quite steady in his actions and barely looked like a human being.

"Twenty years ago, the Sky City was the core area of ​​the Snake-Rat Holy War. After a very long fight between the two sides, the Snake God Prophet felt deeply about the threat of the rats and led the Sotigo Army to fight against the Pestilen clan."

Ashbern, who roughly explained the situation, pointed to a view in front of him. The skull of a rat that had turned into white bones was empty. It seemed out of place in Lustria, where there were many animals and plants. There was no trace of a snake or insect burrowing into it.

"This is a small sacrificial pit. It should be a sacrifice to Sotek, but who made the sacrifice... It is a bit difficult to judge. I only participated in the final battle of the Snake and Rat Jihad, and I don't know the details. "

Torek nodded to express his understanding, and did not doubt whether Ashborn really didn't know. He took a few steps forward, preparing to pick up a rat skull and take a closer look.

But Ashborn stopped him immediately and reprimanded the rune master in a serious tone, "Don't mess around with Sotek's sacrifice. The Forked Serpent doesn't like to share and is a very possessive god."

Torek put his hand in mid-air, but he still took it back, respecting the ancient tradition. This is the custom of dwarves, and there is no reason to deceive with pointed ears. "According to what you said, Caledor participated in the Snake-Rat Jihad throughout the whole process?"

This is not a confidential matter, Ashburn nodded to confirm that it was,
"The prince was summoned by the ancient saints and sent champion warriors to fight alongside the Sotek sect in the early stage. At the end of the war, he even killed Modric, the leader of Pestilen."

Members of the Demon Rat Council...

Torek didn't know much about the leader of Pestilen, whom he had only heard of by name. Rats attached great importance to the protection of intelligence, and many dwarves had sacrificed their lives to know the names of the members of the Demonic Rat Council.

Its strictness has led many parts of the empire to believe that the Skaven are just a legend, a variant of the Beastmen, and not worthy of attention at all.

But Modric, as the leader of the Pestilen clan, has the ability to restrain the dwarves, which is why Torek asked Ahiborn.

"How did you deal with the Skaven plague and the poisonous wind?"

Countless dwarves die in tunnel battles every year, and a large part of them are caused by the abominable methods of the rats. Plague and warpstone toxins are enough to turn an extremely tough bearded warrior into a crying baby.

In order to deal with the complex and changeable situations in tunnel battles, the Iron Breaker Warriors emerged in response to the situation. Their sophisticated rune equipment and reliable combat training are enough to keep a tunnel stable.

But after all, the number of people is too small. Even after the great earthquake 4000 years ago, the Mountain Kingdom still retains a large number of usable tunnels, and the Iron Breaker Warriors can only hold on to a few.

Other areas that are seriously threatened by greenskins and ratmen can only be blown up and collapsed.

When asked about the difficulty, Ashbourne was stunned. He really didn't know when an expatriate had the right to know the secrets of the palace.

But he couldn't say it clearly, lest he appear to be insignificant in Caledor and just a small role.

His tone was affirmative, with a hint of fanaticism, "This is the blessing of the Father of Dragons. How can the mere Skaven plague and warpstone toxins corrode the Kingdom of Dragons? His Royal Highness is not only Sotek's divine choice, but also He is the chosen one by the Father of Dragons, and the children of Caledor are devout believers."

Torek stroked his beard and quickly concluded that the elf was lying. Imrik had never claimed any name as the Chosen God, and had always claimed to be the dragon lord to the outside world.

He continued to stare at Ashborn, not satisfied with this answer.

Ahiburn, who had been stared at for a long time, shrugged and told the truth,

"Well, I actually don't know about this, but as far as I know, the proportion of casualties caused by plague and dimension stone toxin is about two percent, and the blood of the wounded is full of plague plasma."

He twisted his face, thinking that Dwarf Duozi might want to find a way to deal with the Skaven from his own hands, although the court did not tell him whether to tell him.

But since Dwarf Duozi is almost arriving at the Sky City, there is no harm in telling him.

"The Sotek Cult has methods to deal with the rat-man plague. Most of our methods of treating the wounded are learned from the Skink Priests, but... the methods are a bit bloody." (End of this chapter)
