In the small town of Bovoska, which was billowing with smoke and surrounded by enemies on all sides, seeing Manfred appear, almost everyone had a look of despair on their faces.
In fact, the elves already know the information about the undead, especially the Tomb Kings and vampires very well. When Nagash was still a high priest of Nicohara, it was he who captured several dark elf sorceresses.
, tortured and forced them to teach themselves magic, and then turned to study necromancy based on dark magic.
Humans in the old world are different. Before Charlemagne came to the throne, there were already many traces of vampire activities in the old world. However, humans did not believe them at all. Adhering to the principle of "do not believe in rumors and do not spread rumors", they always refused very firmly.
Most people believe that vampires exist. Even Nagash, whom Charlemagne defeated personally, most people think he is just a very powerful wizard.
It was not until the late Three Emperors era, when vampire wars continued for hundreds of years, that people in the old world truly realized that vampires and necromancers were not legends at all!
But even so, there are still nearly half of the residents of the old world, especially in the generally ignorant and backward serfs, and in the southern countries where the undead are rarely seen, such as Estalia, Tyrell, or the western part of the empire.
People still refuse to believe that there are vampires. They think that these vampires are just some particularly powerful "rebellious nobles". They are stigmatized and demonized because they fight against those in power. They must be fighters for democracy! Heroes of justice!
But the guy in front of me, riding a zombie dragon, with gray skin, wearing black cursed armor, white eyes and no eyebrows, has nothing to do with any democratic fighter or hero of justice. The humans hiding in the room are frightened.
De was already on the ground, with feces and urine flowing out: "Don't, don't kill me!"
"Manfred von Carstein, the last vampire count, the most insidious and cunning of the three vampire counts, what do you want to do when you come here?" Alisara said with a green face.
Looking at Manfred falling from the sky with her bright eyes, the little queen's clear and soft voice slowly sounded. She tried to negotiate her way out, or at least delay it.
"Deep in the Roof Mountains of the World, there is a place called Nagashiza. My dear Highness Alisara, I, and the Von Carstein family behind me, have united with the Lamia family and the Blood Dragon family.
, the Nikolaich family, our four major families invite you together, hoping that you can go to Nagashiza as a guest." Manfred politely invited: "We will put on the grandest banquet and prepare the highest preparations.
A level welcome ceremony to welcome you.”
"I feel your sincerity, Lord Manfred, but I have already made an appointment with His Majesty the Supreme King of Eternal Peak." Alisara politely responded with an impeccable courtesy, and the little queen sincerely said
Said: "The von Carstein family
It is noble and elegant and has been carried forward under the leadership of His Excellency Blood Ancestor Vlad. I believe that you, like him, will be able to understand and accept our proposal. When we visit Eternal Peak, we will definitely consider your invitation again. What do you mean?
How about next?"
"Does Asul think that Von Carstein's name is not worth mentioning?" Manfred said sincerely and trustworthy: "Isn't it enough to compare with the dwarf of Eternal Peak? That really makes me, Von Carstein,
The head of the Stein family feels ashamed, it seems that I have to personally invite His Highness to Nagashiza."
"Alyssa has never meant to look down on your family. It was actually Eternal Peak who invited you first. Everything is a misunderstanding. It seems that there is a lack of communication between us. I promise you, Lord Manfred, wait until I visit.
After finishing Eternal Peak, Asul is willing to sit down and discuss these issues with you."
"Your Highness, it seems I didn't speak clearly enough." Manfred smiled: "You may not be qualified to visit Eternal Peak."
As soon as Manfred finished speaking, Dorin-Ironhelm, the dwarf messenger and kinsman of High King Thorgrin, was chopped off by Gul with an axe, and the dwarf's blood was scattered all over the ground.
Alisara gritted her teeth, and the little queen turned pale.
Manfred not only wants to kill people, but also to kill people's hearts!
The little queen understands the dwarves. Even if Asur can escape today, but all the dwarves are killed in the battle, then there will never be such good negotiation conditions between the high elves and the dwarves.
Manfred laughed loudly: "Your Highness, since you don't want to, you can only offend me!"
The undead army continued to advance, and Gul was almost unstoppable. Alisara was heartbroken to see that the Avalon sisters who were carefully selected by their mother Alarielle fell into a pool of blood one after another, becoming Gul.
The high elf army was gradually overwhelmed by the undead souls, and then their compatriots were resurrected and joined the battle against themselves.
"Your Highness, we must break out!" Josh Paris, the maid of the Eternal Queen, shouted anxiously to Alisala: "We can die, but you must not fall into the hands of the enemy. We must seek reinforcements!"
"It's too late." The little queen shook her head calmly: "We didn't ask for help when the greenskins and beastmen attacked. It's too late now... But, maybe there is still a chance."
As soon as she finished speaking, Alisara's whole body was suddenly bathed in a rain of white and green light.
Her clear singing voice sounded on the battlefield.
That is the famous high elf military song "The Phoenix Flag Never Falls".
"Oh, have you ever seen, through a glimmer of dawn."
"What are we cheering for?"
"Whose phoenix flag, despite a night of war, is still fluttering in the wind and standing on the earth."
"Alario's teachings should always be kept in mind."
"The dragon soars in the sky and magic roars."
"They have witnessed that the Phoenix flag will fly forever."
"In the free country, the home of the brave."
"Flying~"
The song spread throughout the battlefield, and all the high elves were surprised to find that they had risen from the ground and soared into the sky!
Advanced spells, riding on the clouds!
The remaining more than a hundred high spirits all rose into the sky. Alisara's face turned pale. She waved her staff and pointed: "Asul, break out to the west and retreat to Haimen Pass!"
"Yes!" the elves responded loudly. Dragon Prince Tolundir was the first to lead the cavalry to charge directly in the air. They rushed through the bloodthirsty ghosts' battle group and forcibly opened a path for the elves.
The remaining dwarves watched with anger and despair as Pointed Ears ran away on his own. Then the last dozens of dwarves were overwhelmed by the undead and killed by Gul.
All the thousand-man dwarf army sent by High King Thorgrim were killed in the battle, and no one survived.
Alisala silently said sorry.
The high-elf envoys began to break out of the encirclement westward with all their strength in the air, and almost broke out of the encirclement.
Manfred was caught off guard by the elf's hand, and the vampire count was shocked. If the elf breaks through the encirclement, everything will be over!
Fortunately, he is not fighting alone.
Lich King Arkhan has appeared on the other side. He raised the staff in his hand and slammed it on the ground. Two big spells came one after another.
"The wind of death!"
"Purple Evil Sun!"
The high elves flying in the air were hit by spells, fell, and were killed one after another.
"Today, no elf will escape." Arkhan breathed out the fire of his soul, and the Lich King said coldly: "The Lord of the Undead must be resurrected, otherwise our kingdom of the undead will fall."
Powerful spells swept across the ground. After all, Alishara's magic power could not compete with Arkhan, and the high elves fell into the dust.
At this time, there are only two giant eagles that can fly.
Arkhan also noticed the two giant eagles, which released spells again.
"Curse of time!"
A giant eagle was hit, quickly aged and turned into white bones, and the remaining one could not escape even after seeing it.
At this moment, the Dragon Prince of Caledor, Tolundil, stood up. The Dragon Prince flew up and used his body to resist Arkhan's spell. The curse of time hit his chest, and the Dragon Prince screamed.
, the whole person turned gray-haired in a few seconds.
"For Caledor!" Before he died, the Dragon Prince glanced at the giant eagle soaring into the sky. The arrogance on his face disappeared, leaving only a smile: "For Ulthuan."
The giant eagle escaped and flew towards Haimen Pass.
On the other side, Alisara sat on the ground full of fear and trembling. The little eternal queen looked at the undead that were surrounding her from all directions and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Except for her, all the high spirits were killed.
Manfred walked up to the little queen, reached out and pinched her chin, forcing Alisala to raise her head: "My highness, do you believe my sincerity now?"
"Asuryan curses you!" Alisara said coldly: "Asuryan will get the news, just wait, Manfred."
"Huh!" Manfred snorted, and the vampire count suddenly smiled. He clapped his hands and came up with dozens of strong zombies covered in stench and dripping with corpse water: "It seems that our Highness needs to understand
Only when you understand some truth can you shut up obediently."
"You, what do you want to do?" Alisara suddenly turned pale. The little queen subconsciously wanted to step back, but Manfred reached out and held her calf wrapped in white bronzing night sky pattern pantyhose: "
I'm just curious, how is the body structure of elves different from that of humans? And how is the body structure of the eternal little queen different from that of ordinary elves?"
"No! Don't! Don't want it!!!" The little queen had turned pale at this time. A disgusting fat zombie had mucus dripping from the corner of its mouth and stuck out its tongue to lick her face. Alisala was frightened and cried.
"That's enough! Manfred." Lich King Arkhan finally couldn't stand it anymore. He walked up and said, "The mission is completed. My Highness, we must seize the time and bring you back to Nagashza immediately.
!”
"Uh-huh!" Alisara struggled.
The tomb guards took out golden chains and tied the little queen's wrists and ankles behind her back, then blindfolded her eyes, gagged her mouth, and loaded her into the undead chariot.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Alisala's hands were tied behind her back and she couldn't see her. She could only whine and struggle.
The arrest plan was successful.
The next step is to prepare for the sacrifice ceremony and the rescue of the high elves. It is impossible for the high elves to remain indifferent to the capture of the little queen.
Manfred couldn't help laughing when he thought of this.
There is a way to fight with heaven, and the joy is endless; to fight with earth, and have endless joy; to fight with humans, and have endless joy!
…………I am the little queen’s innocent dividing line……
At this time, on Obion Island, Knight King Ryan and his knightly army naturally knew nothing about what was happening thousands of miles away.
On the contrary, Ryan was actually sitting on the wall at this time, with Olica standing behind him, serving him tea and water.
It's still raining heavily on Obien Island.
The siege has lasted for nearly three weeks.
In the past three weeks, the Chivalry Army repelled a total of three breakthrough attempts by the Conquata defenders.
Only then did Ryan realize that he was recreating the most legendary battle in Caesar's classic Gallic War, the Battle of Alesia? Internal and external city walls, siege and reinforcements?
In fact, it doesn't really look like it, because compared to Caesar, in addition to the excellent engineering of the dwarves, Ryan also has one more powerful weapon.
That's hundreds of artillery pieces and thousands of muskets.
Due to the limited number of artillery shells, Lane ordered the artillery not to be wasted in attacking the strong Conquata fortress. This gave the defenders hope of breaking out. So after several days of siege, when the barbarians' food reserves had been greatly reduced,
Not only was he frightened, but he also lost his eggs and ordered the use of cavalry to try to break out.
Hundreds of cavalry were instantly drowned in a volley of muskets and crossbows.
Harold was too frightened to mention anything about the breakout.
A few days later, after carefully studying the defenses of the siege wall, Zan'ec, the Chosen Champion of Tzeentch, found a weak point. At this time, the food in the city was almost exhausted. Zan'ac decided to lead his troops
Breakout.
Facing a locust-like rain of arrows and rows of musket fire, Zan'ec and his Tzeentch Chosen warriors approached the city wall. As a result, Veronica's Light Demon Rider beam directly burned through his shoulder armor.
, and then the Chosen Warriors of Tzeentch ran into five Gray Knight recruits headed by Petain. The spells could not benefit them, and they could not defeat the non-Tzeentch Warriors in hand-to-hand combat. Zan'ec was forced to take them with him.
The people withdrew from Conquata.
The siege continues.
At this time, the food supply of the defenders was no longer sustainable. The barbarians did not have the habit of hoarding large quantities of food. Although there were streams passing through the Beast Mountains, drinking water alone would not solve the problem. The barbarians in Conquata City, especially
It was the barbarian militias and civilians who began to kill each other and feed on human flesh, and the defenders gradually fell into chaos.
At this time, Zan'ike came up with an extremely cruel idea. Isn't your Knight King Ryan known as the Eight Virtues of Knights? Isn't your Britannia known as the country of knights?
While Harold was seriously injured and still recovering from his injuries, Zaneac ordered about 20,000 elderly people, sick people, women and children in Conquata to be driven out of the city. He hoped that through this method, he could break up the defense line of the knightly army.
Or consume their food, or at least make these chivalrous patients feel guilty.
Facts have proved that Zan Aike thought too much.
Knight King Ryan coldly issued an order to shoot all barbarian civilians. These people are our enemies, regardless of men, women, children, old, weak, sick or disabled. Facing these barbarians who believe in chaos, there is no need for any mercy or chivalrous spirit.
"Only the lady can issue the order to forgive them. Anyone who dares to question my decision, I can send you to see the lady right now."
"Eradicate all evil!"
Zaneac's plan failed, and 20,000 barbarian civilians were either shot with bows and arrows or starved to death between the walls of Conquata and the walls of the knightly army.
This greatly damaged the morale of the defenders.
But at this moment, the sky in Obien began to boil, and the earth and swamps trembled with thunderous iron hooves.
Chaos reinforcements have finally arrived and are approaching the battlefield.
