Chapter 229 Crazy Tiers

"It's all over."

The Dark Whisper Castle was in ruins, and Rhodes and Vinos set out on their way back north. And Diego seemed to have his own plans. On the third day after setting off, he came to see Rhodes alone to say goodbye.

But Rhodes was already prepared for this. Witch hunters and dwarf butchers are the same. Although they are good at fighting, they are never fuel-efficient. The purpose of their lives is to fight. Needless to say, butchers spend all day thinking about how to seek death.

.

The witch hunters are equally crazy. They live to hunt Chaos believers and evil wizards. In this regard, Diego and Bogul are somewhat similar. They never stop hunting, so a place

After the evil forces are cleansed, they will look for the next target. Rhodes knows that Diego is here to say goodbye.

"It's over for now."

Inside the camp, Rhodes added.

"What are your plans next?"

Rhodes asked deliberately. Of course, in his heart, Rhodes knew that Diego's next goal must be to continue to search for vampires or anything related to chaos. This is their job and destiny.

"Hunting, trial, fighting. In short, wherever there is darkness, there is me, we..."

Diego returned. He casually picked up the snacks on Rhodes' table. During this period of time together, they had developed the habit of being informal. Rhodes would not ask the people around him to call him all the time.

The lords had to salute and so on. Because they were not their subjects in the first place. Bogul, Diego, and Yeskovic all helped him as friends, brothers, and comrades-in-arms.

"Then you found the target?"

Rod asked.

"Not yet, but I will keep looking."

Diego said, stuffing another piece of muffin into his mouth and chewing it. Along the way, he slept and ate in the open, and he didn't eat anything good. Now, following the army, there are dedicated chefs in charge of life, so naturally he has to taste more.

.

"No need to look for it, I already have a goal. I believe this is your goal too."

Rhodes said, handing the kill list that he had prepared in front of Diego.

The witch hunter looked confused.

"have a look."

Rhodes returned with a smile.

"Rogers, Freetania, Essos, these are all vampires hiding in Kislev, or even hiding in the army. Rogers is the financial officer of the Grizzly Legion. He hides very well and is usually a good person.

He is humble and peaceful, and has never seen him angry. Freitania and Essos are brothers. They were transferred to the Northern Alliance Army as staff officers at the beginning of the Erengrad rebellion.

Duke Cohen is with him, giving him advice. If nothing else, he may still be in the Northern Alliance Army. Dean Aubrey is a suspect. He should be a Slaanesh believer, or has been contaminated by Slaanesh. In short,

There is no direct evidence that he is a Chaos believer. I think this is what you need to get evidence for."

Diego was flipping through the list that Rhodes gave him while listening to Rhodes describe the people on the list. The first few were considered "big shots" with surnames, while the following pages were filled with small-time minions.

.However, no matter whether they are big shots or minors, as long as they have something to do with Chaos, they are the targets of "care" for the witch hunters.

"You already knew this?"

After Diego finished reading, he raised his head and looked at Rhodes with a strange look.

"Well, but with my current ability and status, I can't do anything to them."

Rhodes said, got up, walked to another table, and poured himself a glass of water. Although wine is a common drink, Rhodes just wanted to keep himself awake.

"I understand, we have a common enemy."

said the witch hunter.

Rhodes nodded slightly, "That's about it." He returned.

"However, I must tell you something upfront. Although the goal is clear, you cannot use your previous methods to hunt them. You know the reason. This is Kislev, not the empire. Here, there is no

People pay the bills of witch hunters. You cannot use the method of trying heretics to catch them and kill them, because there are not many Sigma followers in Kislev, it can be said to be very few."

"They were blinded by the darkness!"

Diego shouted angrily.

"No, it's just different beliefs. Therefore, if we want to hunt these targets, we must have our own plans and steps. Sometimes it is not necessary to do it ourselves. What I mean is that if we touch certain people, we may have conflicts with the rule of this country.

There is a conflict between the two. I won’t go into the specific reasons, but you should understand.”

Rhodes said calmly.

Diego nodded, indicating that he understood. After all, walking in the empire is not that easy. Witch hunters need the support of local administrative officials and financial support. Sometimes in order to obtain this support, they have to come up with something like a cake trial.

A farce. A series of problems troubled them, so over time, they still have a certain understanding of politics. They know that if you want to hunt a certain target, sometimes you need to consider many things. If you don’t consider these things,

Blindly dispatching will only put yourself into a very passive situation. After all, some of the Chaos believers in the empire are also high-ranking officials and nobles...

"I understand. It seems that the political situation in Kislev is also complicated."

Diego put down the list and said with a smile.

"There is no country where the political situation is not complicated."

Rhodes answered casually. The two looked at each other for a while, and suddenly smiled knowingly. Of course, this smile actually contained a realistic helplessness. When lofty ideals encounter dark reality, sometimes they will only compromise. Although in the outside world

It seems that they are still brave fighters.

…

"We failed..."

In the Erengrad City Hall, Mayor Tiers sighed in a low voice. The news of the navy's defeat came in the evening. They were originally full of confidence. Ninety percent of Kislev was docked in the Erengrad port.

It can be said that if Kislev had a navy, it would all be in this port. However, it was such a regular naval fleet that was defeated by Catalina's improvised mercenary fleet.

Tiers felt exhausted for the first time since the whole conspiracy and rebellion happened. He planned carefully and endured it for many years. However, in the face of Catalina's absolute strength, all efforts were in vain. Revenge? It was just a short-term pleasure.

, in fact, Her Majesty the Queen had the overall situation in her hands from the very beginning.

"No, not yet. We still have the Bloody Hand Legion and three thousand soldiers defending the city. They will defend the city!"

Treasurer Marcus said.

"I'm afraid you are really wrong this time. The main strength of this city lies in the sea. The navy is the prerequisite for the development of Erengrad and the pride of this city. Without a fleet and a navy, what do you expect us to do?

There are 100,000 people in this city, and they consume a lot of food every day. After the seaport is blocked, we will no longer be able to obtain supplies. Soon, the price of food will exceed that of gold, and we will lose the support of the nobles. Once famine spreads

, even the people will oppose us. By then we will have nothing."

Morlock, the commander of the city defense army, said pessimistically.

"I know what the real barrier of this city is. It's not the soldiers who defend the city, but its waterways and walls. These three thousand soldiers who defend the city are just a group of cowards. When the time comes, Catalina will take the entire kingdom with her.

A large army is approaching the city. Do you expect these people to hold on to the city wall? It would be good if they are not scared to death."

"Isn't there still the Bloody Hand Legion?"

Marcus thought.

"Don't forget their identity. They are mercenaries. Mercenaries are only loyal to money. Once they find that the situation is not right, they will turn around and run away. Believe me, Master will not really sacrifice his life for us for these few dollars.

Even though he really loves money."

There was sarcasm in Morlock's words. He knew a lot about this friend from the empire. Whether it was his contact with him during this period or the stories he heard about him from others, it was enough to prove his guess.

"So, do we want to surrender? Ah, the great alliance of nobles has surrendered? Should I change my words and call Queen Catalina long live, and then kneel down and kowtow to her?"

Brandon asked everyone emotionally. If among the four people, the one with the best chance of escaping unharmed is undoubtedly him. As the gang boss of Erlengrad, he controls the black market trade and dozens of gangs in the city.

Organization. Unlike Marcus and Morlock, he does not hold an important position in Erengrad. In other words, after leaving this city, he will definitely be able to make a comeback, as long as the people are still there and the money is still there...

"That's not necessarily true. I have a new idea."

After the silence, there were Tiers' cold words. His face was full of revenge. If anyone here hated Catalina the most, it was undoubtedly him. In the past ten years, he had lost his dearest daughter and daughter.

Granddaughter, the dispute over interests is no longer the priority. As long as he can bring down Catalina, he would rather lose all his family wealth.

"Say it, we are all our own people."

Morlock said calmly.

"Since the situation has reached an uncontrollable point, and famine and chaos will inevitably occur in Erengrad. Then, it is better to let the chaos come more violently."

Tiers said with a sullen face. A terrible plan was brewing deep in his heart. As long as he could get revenge, he didn't care how many people would die.

"Just tell me what you think, Tiers."

Morlock urged.

"We still have reinforcements, that is - the greenskins from the Edge Mountains."

"Are you crazy? Are you going to introduce those beasts into Kislev?"

Shock was written on everyone's faces. What kind of person would come up with such a crazy idea. But in the face of the accusation, Tiers sat there like a mountain, and his expression did not change at all.

"What's wrong? In order to win the final victory, we must use all means. You and I both know the fate of falling into the hands of Catalina. Don't pretend to feel pity. What kind of people are you and me?

It’s clear. Even if Kislev is destroyed, it would be better than us being captured by Katarina.”

Tiers said, he is like a bloodthirsty bat lurking in the darkness, it will do whatever it takes to kill its prey.

"Listen to me. The storm is coming. The only way to divert the target is to create greater chaos and let Katarina deal with those green-skinned beasts. We will take this opportunity to open a way to survive. Kislev will definitely

However, in troubled times, there are opportunities. As a tsar, Catalina cannot ignore the threat of green skins. How will the people view her? Therefore, we only need to wait until Kislev’s army and the green skins

The beating is almost done, let's take action again, take advantage of Catalina when she is at her weakest, and kill her. This country will belong to us."

Tiers' sinister eyes swept over everyone. Gradually, the commander-in-chief of the city defense army, Morlock, nodded slightly...
