Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

"You like them, don't you?"

The noisy camp in the distance made the Phoenix King standing on the treetops smile, and the illusory and boundless magic images gathered around him.

"Don't you like these enthusiastic little guys? They are not involved in any forces, and they don't know the fate they are about to suffer. They fight fearlessly just to survive... I like them. They let me see that there is dawn in the ordinary corner of this world."

"It's hard to understand. You treat them more as toys, not as heroes of great deeds."

"Old Mi, don't always analyze with an objective and fair attitude. This will lose a lot of fun. Or do you not want to see the appearance of the five little strong men?"

The magic image gradually took shape. Even if Old Mi could be illusory in human form, the dragon's natural arrogance would not do so. A cluster of scattered firelight spread over Imrick's shoulders.

"Then let's talk about Lilith. Is she still determined to have that stupid idea? Even if she keeps her position as the Moon Maiden, she is unwilling to contribute the power she has prepared for two thousand years to this world?"

"Of course she doesn't want to. Lilith is still praying that her lover Alaros can change his mind and go to that sad little world to become Asuryan. And I am the biggest obstacle for the hero to become the next Lord of the Elves."

Old Mi paused for a moment and looked at Athel Loren in the distance: "Do you think Alaros will do something?"

"Maybe, maybe not, but I can't tolerate the existence of someone who might betray... Antoine's matter, It is possible that he was the one who made the connection. "

"Then use the simplest method to solve the problem. With the Everqueen and Dursu here, Aslai dare not ask too much."

"Objective and fair Minasnir, I find that you seem to maintain this attitude only when communicating with me... Let's end this matter."

…………

Two new elves came to the Red Moon Tavern. When the five little strong men heard that Altdorf had made a fuss about the Holy Grail Church, it had been more than half a month since they successfully escaped. After blaming Lona for unreliable intelligence and selling a batch of stolen goods at a high price through the connections in the tavern, they naturally enjoyed a peaceful life here for a while.

Only the arrival of the two elves let Captain Victor know that the short rest has ended and he may leave for a more needed occasion.

Victor knew the leading elf. Although he was disguised, his gray and cold skin and black hair, coupled with his sharp eyes, were undoubtedly Kuran Blackhand.

The situation of the other elf was somewhat beyond Victor's expectations. He was dragged to Uberrick by a carriage and thrown into the Red Moon Tavern by Kuran, who lifted his collar with one hand.

Judging from the unconscious twitching of his limbs and his fearful eyes, this guy's hands and feet had lost their use and he was tortured before he came to Uberrick.

The five little strong men gathered around a table, whispering about Kuran and Lona who were communicating at the table. Kerillian, who knew a lot about the race, temporarily put aside some barriers and introduced this... terrible guest to others.

"Kuran Blackhand... the right hand of the Witch King Malekith, the captain of the Black Guard of Naggaroth, he had challenged every weapon master of Naggaroth. It was a cruel battle, and only the winner could survive, but he successfully threw his opponent off the Black Tower of Naggaroth every time."

"Is he very powerful? I think old Kruber can also beat him." Marcus was a little drunk, and although his tone was arrogant, he dared to whisper.

"The Holy Grail Guard we met may not last more than ten minutes in front of him..."

This simple explanation made the five little warriors silent for a long time. Finally, Bardin smiled awkwardly and said, "Fighting requires brains. I don't think he can kill the troll with one sword, but I can send the troll to the sky with a rocket launcher. If we really fight..."

"Then we will all die." Victor explained the truth without hiding it, causing the remaining four to shrug and say that it was true. This man is now one of the Phoenix King's guards. His martial arts that can make the Phoenix King feel respectful are the greatest proof that he can still live with countless Asur blood on his hands.

"Salzpyre, Salzpyre, Lord Kuran has something to entrust to you."

The witch hunter picked up the tall hat on the wooden table and walked straight to the counter. He had fought with Kuran before. Although he barely finished ten moves, he thought it was just the minimum task assigned by the Phoenix King. Otherwise, with the strength of the captain of the black guard, he might have beheaded himself with a halberd.

"Victor."

"Sir Blackhand."

The greetings made Kerillian drop her jaw. This short-lived human not only had a relationship with the Phoenix King, but also knew the high-ranking officials of the royal court?

No matter how surprised Aslai was, Kuran's expression was very calm. He did not explain the reason for his appearance here. He dealt with all problems quickly and concisely. This is the rule of the Black Guard now.

The Black Guard took out a wooden box from his bag and put it on the counter: "This is the item that His Majesty gave you."

"What's inside?" Victor did not touch the wooden box at the first time. The four corners of the wooden box were wrapped in red gold, and the faintly visible rune light made the ordinary surface more mysterious.

Kuran would not respond to such a question. He then took out a secret letter: "You need to go to Tyrell immediately and arrive at the station of the Tal Kaled Legion. At that time, the Dragon Prince Davion will be your direct commander." Victor took the secret letter, looked back at Lona, and after getting affirmation from the eyes of the emperor's spy, he replied to Kuran: "What if I want to stay in the empire."

"You don't want to try to disobey the orders of the Phoenix King, Victor. His Majesty values ​​you very much, but that doesn't mean he can tolerate your refusal... If you refuse now, I will break the legs of all five of you and send you to David's command."

The possible cold resistance and non-cooperation did not happen. After the tentative inquiry, Victor nodded tactfully to show that he understood: "Give my regards to the Phoenix King and thank His Majesty for his generous help many times. I have always believed that he is the most respectable monarch."

"I will convey it... and before you set off for Altdorf to transfer to the ship that arrives in Tirell, bring this traitor to Karl Franz." Kuran pointed at the useless elf lying on the ground. The only parts of Antoine that can move are his mouth and eyes. He still has some use as a chess piece to complete the deployment plan of the Dragon Prince.

When the matter is over, after pulling out the secret line that Lilith has hidden in the empire, Kulan will obtain a private collection, an Asur who has had a physical entanglement with the incarnation of Lilith's will, and his wailing will be so pleasant to the ears.

"This Excellency will definitely arrive in Altdorf safely..." (End of this chapter)
