"Boom!"
The Treacherous Great Demon, Everchanging Demon Lord, Winged Guardian, and Raven's Eye all fell to the ground with a loud thud. This Great Demon simply could not believe that it had encountered such a powerful opponent. The [Blood Drinker Sword] deeply broke through the multiple shields on the surface of its body and pierced through its throat.
"No, it shouldn't be like this." Neos struggled. Its wings and arms were cut off.
"Go back to your Realm of Chaos. This is not where you should be." The Demigod, the Lord of Death, the Kurfürst of Sylvania, and the Blood Ancestor of the Von Kastein family, Vlad, looked at the great demon in disdain. He continued to push the Bloodthirsty Sword forward. The great demon struggled in pain. It could not help but recall what had happened during this period.
Five hours ago.
The Great Alchemist Galt and Saul's army had escaped. The defense of the entire eastern section of the Golden Fortress had been greatly weakened. Tzeentch's plan had succeeded. Then, tens of thousands of Chaos Tribes and two Tzeentch Demon Legions quickly crossed the Golden Fortress and headed south.
There were only a few remnants of the Ostromak army stationed here. The Ostromak army had lost its Kurfürst in the previous battle to defend Oldefen. The Ostromak army was currently led by the General of the Empire, Jakovo the VI. This was a very excellent General of the Empire. However, his army could not withstand the simultaneous attack of the Army of Chaos and the Tzeentch Demon Legion. The Ostromak people once naively thought that they would receive reinforcements from the Empire. However, nothing happened in the west. In the end, the General and his four thousand soldiers were almost all killed in battle.
However, the Army of Chaos did not receive the great victory that they had imagined.
"My Lord! The people of the Empire are done for! " The vampire count, Hal Harris, walked over quickly and shouted at Vlad Von Karstein. His expression was indescribable. It was as if he felt pity for Vlad Von Karstein, but at the same time, he was gloating. "My Lord, those damn barbarians have already taken over the Empire's territory. They even raised the Octagonal Flag and the Eye of Tzeentech!"
"Although these lowly people will never understand what a real civilization is, they are all good men." Vlad stood in the middle of the army, and the Lord of Sylvania slowly nodded. "Alright, the Ostmark is finished. It's our turn to deal with these barbarians and Chaos bastards."
When the Chaos Army under the leadership of Tzeentch the Champion and Tzeentch the Great Demon stepped into the Empire's territory, they immediately discovered that a huge undead army had been assembled.
The Battle of Oderwald began.
Vlad Von Karstein had been waiting here with the undead for a long time.
Behind the Death Lord, the Four Undead Kings stood in a row.
The Lich Sovereign King, Arkham, was at the pinnacle of the Saint domain and the commander of the Black Army.
The King of Corpse Demons, Ju Er, high-level Saint realm, the commander of the Corpse Demon Army.
The King of Blood, Nefrata, peak Saint realm, the commander of the Blood Army of Silver Peak Mountain.
The Sovereign of the Blood Dragons, Varazi Halken, was a pinnacle saint. He was the commander of the Blood Dragon Knights and the chosen successor of Blood Ancestor Abo Wallace. After receiving Vlad's orders, he had rushed to Vlad's side. Although he did not swear allegiance to Vlad, he was willing to listen to Vlad's orders and take charge of the undead cavalry.
The King of the Deep, Luthor Haken, was also a Saint realm expert. He was the Pirate King of the Undead from Luscia and led the Deep Sea Legion.
The undead army was about 40000, and the Chaos army was about 27000.
On the two-kilometer-long battlefield, the Battle of Oderwald began with the roar of the Chaos Dwarves' Hell Cannon.
This was the battlefield that Vlad had carefully chosen. The right wing of the undead army was the Upper Tarabek River, the middle was the swamp, and the left wing was the Black Forest. The Hell Cannon of the Chaos Dwarves could not easily cause enough damage on this battlefield, and soon the location of the artillery position was exposed.
Luthor Haken's army was the first to attack the Army of Chaos. These undead pirates had powerful firepower and strange tactics, causing the Army of Chaos, who were used to fighting the Empire and the undead army, to suffer. The two sides tangled together. The monsters from Nozka and the Northern Wasteland began a bloody melee with the Leviathan and Zombie Demons from the sea. Luthor Haken laughed wildly as he rushed into the enemy's formation. His unpredictable tactics made the Army of Chaos at a loss.
But even so, the Deep Sea Legion still fell into a difficult battle after the Tzetrich's army joined in. The first line of attack was quickly defeated.
Unwilling to give up, Vlad ordered Nefrata's Silver Peak Mountain's Blood Army to launch an attack. Lemia's Blood Ancestor was not very focused on the battle and was more inclined to deal with it. The Blood Army under her command was quickly defeated. The chaos between the Deep Sea Army and Blood Army attracted the attention of the Chaos Army. Almost all the barbarians and Tzeentch Demons focused their attention on the pursuit.
The Blood Knights led by Valazi Haken, the leader of the Blood Dragon Knights, saved the battle. The Blood Knights caused a lot of damage to the Army of Chaos and resisted the enemy's attack. Then, Gul's Corpse Demon Army launched a frontal assault on the Army of Chaos. The powerful Corpse Demon King led a large group of Barren Grave Guards to launch a fierce attack and pinned down the main force of the Tzetrich's army.
The Blood Knights' attack, Gul's relentless fighting, and Vlad's excellent command allowed the Undead Army to get through their most difficult time. At this time, Lich King Akerhan began to show his strength. The countless corpses of barbarians and Empire soldiers on the battlefield, as well as the fallen Undead Army began to revive.
The Undead Army of Chaos found themselves surrounded. The Empire's army that had been wiped out were all revived and attacked them from the back.
Once the timing was right, Vlad personally led his army of undead and Von Castein's blood kin to launch a fierce assault. The army of undead met Neos the Great Demon of Tzeentch head-on, and after an hour-long battle, Vlad defeated the Great Demon of Tzeentch and sent Neos and his army of Tzeentch back to where they belonged.
The Undead Army won a crucial victory in Oswald. It was the greatest victory Vlad had achieved since his resurrection. Not only did it fully demonstrate Vlad's outstanding ability in strategy and tactics, it effectively stopped the Undead Army from advancing southward. It also caused Tzetrich's meticulous plan to fail on the verge of success. The Undead Army of Chaos lost about 18000 men in Oswald. Some of their corpses were turned into new recruits for the Undead Army, providing Vlad with enough reinforcements. After the battle, Vlad still had about 31000 men at his disposal.
However, the joy of victory did not last long. Vlad soon discovered that Nefrata, his ex-wife, had secretly left the battlefield before the battle ended and returned to Silverpeak Mountain. Meanwhile, Varazi Hakken, the commander of the Blood Dragons, led most of the Blood Knights and a few hundred Dark Knights out of the Golden Fortress and charged towards the North. As a result, Vlad lost two of his Sovereigns.
Nefrata had nothing to fear. Blood Ancestor Lemia was so happy that she held eight consecutive feasts after learning that Nagash had failed to resurrect. Her attack this time was to give Vlad some face and give Arkham some face. She knew that Vlad and Arkham wouldn't force her to do anything.
As expected, both Vlad and Arkham expressed their dissatisfaction with Nefrata's departure. However, neither of them had any intention to pursue the matter.
As for Varazi, he was a pure warrior who only pursued extreme battles and worthy opponents. He never swore loyalty to Vlad in the first place.
Vlad couldn't order Abo Wallace around even if he was a demigod now. The Blood Dragon Patriarch was a demigod as well, and Vlad even suspected that he was no match for the Blood Dragon Patriarch.
"What do we do next?" Lich King Arkham asked tentatively as he stood on the battlefield littered with corpses. "You are truly loyal to the Empire. Ah, Vlad, I don't think a Kurfürst title is enough to reward your loyalty. Are we going to stay here and guard the borders for Karl-franz?"
"I don't have much love for the people of the Empire." Vlad gently took out a small piece of handkerchief and wiped away the traces on the Bloodthirsty Sword. "I don't have any loyalty to Karl-franz either. It's just that I hate Chaos more than anything else. Don't you think that even if Nagash is resurrected, he would never allow the kingdom of the dead to be destroyed by these disgusting things?"
"…" Arkham would never comment on his master, even when he was forced to serve Vlad for many years.
Absolute confidence, arrogance, and disdain stopped Vlad from asking further. At this moment, the Lord of Death couldn't help but think of his two "sons" Conrad and Man Frey. There was no doubt that Conrad was a lunatic, but at this moment, Vlad missed Conrad's courage and outstanding tactical skills.
As for Man Frey, he was an ambitious man who didn't deserve his position. He had stayed in the mud and the pigsty for so long that he no longer knew how to rule his territory normally. But Vlad loved his "son" as well. He thought that if Man Frey was still alive at this moment, perhaps his wisdom could give him some advice.
Forget about this schizophrenic in front of him …
Luther Haken stood on a Leviathan and laughed wildly as he shouted, "Awooo ~ Brothers ~ Everyone look at me awooo ~"
"Look at me, look at me ~ I have something to announce ~"
"I'm an idiot!!!" Luther Haken puffed out his chest and laughed wildly. "There's nothing wrong with that awooo ~"
The undead: "…"
After a few minutes, Luther Haken immediately changed his mode. He grinned foolishly and proudly showed off his tattered military uniform. "Guess what happened to our Old Blood Dragon Ren?"
"It's over. That's it. Just like this. Once I drink ~ my blood, I'm ~ so ~ beautiful ~, so ~ good ~!"
"Let's ~ talk ~ ~"
Vlad forced himself to look away. He thought that once everything was over, he would send this lunatic back to the sea.
For Vlad's ambitions, defending the Northern Frontier of the Empire was only the first step. He would use this action to make the mortals realize that he was the rightful ruler of the Empire and the destined ruler. The entire Empire would cheer loudly for the order that only he could provide.
In the end, the people would crawl before Von Kastein. This was the will of the heavens!
Vlad knew humans too well. Humans were naturally fragile and unwilling to learn lessons or call for a leader. When it came to the living, Vlad was not a tyrant. Or rather, he did not think that he was. Brutality was just a means to make the inferior submit to him.
After Oswald's great victory, Vlad took control of half of Ostermark and a part of the eastern sector of the Golden Fortress. He killed all three thousand Empire soldiers in Fort Jacova and occupied the place. Then, he ordered Gür to "recruit" soldiers in Ostermark. After the Zombie King massacred dozens of people in Ostermark, the humans here finally submitted to Vlad von Kastein's rule. They would soon realize that serving the great and supreme Vlad was not worse than working under the Kurfürst. In fact, they could even get more … more …
Meanwhile, the Von Zhukov Castle did not respond to what happened in the eastern sector of the Golden Fortress. For the past few days, the intensive meetings and crazy discussions had exhausted the members of the War Council of the Empire both physically and mentally.
All the questions revolved around one person. Was the chief wizard of the Imperial Family, the great alchemist Gelt a traitor? Did he fall into the Chaos?
Rick, who went to urge Gelt, received a letter from the great alchemist. The content of the letter was already mentioned before, so it would not be repeated here.
The War Council of the Empire also had many opinions on how to deal with this matter. There was no doubt that the Golden Fortress was the biggest support against the Chaos. If Gelt was a traitor and a lackey of the God of Chaos, then this show would not have ended up like this. However, according to Huss and Volten's report, Gelt's loyalty to the Empire was also suspicious.
The meeting went on for a few days, but no solution could be found.
Emmanuelle, Countess of the Empire, and Kurfürst Marius Leitdorf of the Ivy Domain supported Gelt. Kurfürst Marius said that it was not strange for a wizard to be rudely disturbed in the middle of a magic experiment. Emmanuelle, on the other hand, voted with her feet. Under the protection of the three Brittany sons and the Holy Grail Guard Oudino of the Coldstream Guards, the Countess of the Empire questioned everyone in the War Council of the Empire sternly. If it were not for Gelt's Golden Fortress, the Empire would probably be preparing for the defense of Herzig, Tara Beheim, and Mildenheim.
The Kurfürst could not answer Emmanuelle's question. The pregnant lioness glanced around the meeting hall fiercely. Except for the Emperor and Kurfürst Marius, no one dared to look her in the eyes. Everyone knew that they should never offend a pregnant woman, especially since Nur provided 70% of the firearms for the Empire. To some extent, she could decide the diplomatic relationship between the Empire and the Brittany.
Emperor Karl-franz hesitated. The pressure from the champion of Charlemagne, Volten, Huss, the Kurfürst of the North, Rudenhoff's two sons, and the Church of Justice made it impossible for the Emperor to declare Gelt innocent. After all, Gelt himself admitted that he killed Rudenhoff.
So, to declare Gelt guilty? Then what about the Golden Fortress? What about the Saul Hill?
In the meeting, the people kept arguing. Emilia, the Countess of the Empire, sat on her seat in annoyance. She crossed her beautiful legs wrapped in crimson velvet pantyhose. Because she was not pregnant for a long time, Emilia's belly was still not showing. She was very annoyed that the War Council could not come to a conclusion. Her suede boots tapped on the carpet softly. If she had a choice, Emilia really wanted to stay in Brittany and spend the winter with Laing.
However, Boris Todbringer could not care, but she could not. Because she wanted her son, Frey Derick, to be the future Emperor of the Empire!
At this time, the leader of the Grey Knights, Peter, who was standing beside Emilia, showed a confused expression. Emilia noticed this. She was not worried about this "son" of Laing. "What's wrong? Peter Dangqing? "
"It feels … a little strange. There's some kind of … demonic smell in the hall. It's very faint and almost imperceptible, but there's still a trace of it." Peter said to Emilia. He looked a little confused.
"Demonic smell? How is that possible?" Emilia could not help but laugh. "You're too sensitive, Peter Dangqing."
"Maybe." Peter said helplessly.
At this moment, the White Wolf Church's Archbishop and Pope, "Big Yurick" Emil Wager, came to Amelia's side. His expression was solemn as if he was about to say something to Amelia. Seeing this, Petain and the others made way for him.
"My Countess, may I have a word with you?" Emil Waggle asked with a smile.
"A word with you? What's there that can't be said here? " If it was any other time, Emilia would have agreed. However, she was in a bad mood now. Moreover, Big Yurick was very aggressive about punishing Gelt. The Countess of the Empire was not interested in talking to him. "I'm not in the mood now. Just say what you want to say."
"That's a pity." Emil Waggle pretended to turn around and leave. Emilia frowned and looked away.
While everyone was discussing, Big Yurick seemed to have asked for an audience with the Emperor for the same reason. He was quickly approved. However, for the same reason, Emperor Karl-franz shook his head and rejected Emil Waggle's request.
Emil Waggle seemed to be very angry. What happened next made everyone in the hall hold their breaths!
Big Yorick let out a furious roar and his body spewed out pink Demon-Fearing Flames. The burly man turned into a ball of five-colored flames and charged toward Amelia. The Flame of Chaos instantly burned the five guards and three knights into ashes.
At this time, Emilia did not even realize what was happening. Waggle … or something disguised as Waggle appeared in front of her!
The sharp edge of the battle axe was aimed at Emilia's abdomen!
