The people of the Empire would never have thought that there would be a day when they would have to fight alongside the undead.
But at this moment, the appearance of the undead was decisive to the aid of the Empire's army. The Black Knights charged towards the army of the Chosen Warriors of Chaos. Vlad Von Karstein raised his [Blood Drinker Sword]. Following the slope and the Upper Tarabek River, the Black Knights charged forward. Under the leadership of the Blood Knights, they launched a magnificent charge. Their horses' hooves were like thunder, and their lances were like rain.
The army of Chaos was not idle either. They immediately turned around under the command of Keron – the Conqueror. As Marius' army was pushed back, Tyfons, the master of the Hive of Pestilence and the son of Mortarion, turned around. He was annoyed to see that a new enemy had appeared.
After the Battle of Constantinople, Tyfons followed Mortarion and escaped into the Subspace Rift. Mortarion was immediately swept away by the Subspace Turbulence and exiled to an unknown place (Saint Giles' original words were that he would not be able to return for at least a few hundred years). Tyfons, on the other hand, relied on his [Father of Genes] to block the Subspace Turbulence for a while. He spent a few years to return to this world. Under the recommendation of the Four Gods of Chaos, he met the Eternal Chosen God, Eichaen. He was quickly attracted by Eichaen's strength and reasonable "small goals", and decided to temporarily become Eichaen's henchman.
Compared to Abaddon's unrealistic fantasy of "slaying the fake Emperor and burning the Milky Way", Tyfons felt that Eichaen's "small goals first, such as destroying a world and adding another Eye of Fear" was much more reliable. Not to mention that Eichaen's strength was much stronger than Abaddon's.
Of course, Tyfons still had thoughts of revenge in his heart.
The Death Guards hurriedly changed their formation. Under the command of Tyfons and Keron, they formed a defensive line in an attempt to resist Vlad's fierce attack.
Vlad Von Karstein, the Lord of Sylvania, the Undead Army, and a SemiGod, looked at the group of Undead Guards with absolute pride and power. The stench and rotting aura coming from their bodies made the vampire count hate them to the core. He raised his [Bloodthirsty Sword], and when he did so, soul flames filled the sky.
"Great Curse, Wind of Death!"
Hundreds of gusts of Nethergale swept into the army of Chaos. As the scarlet Nethergale swept across, the souls of countless Warriors of Chaos were instantly ripped out of their bodies. Their wills were taken away while they were still alive, and they were turned into a pile of rusty flesh. The solid shield wall was smashed apart by the undead. Vlad Von Karstein personally raised his sword and charged into the army of Chaos. The Lord of Death was unstoppable!
"Ahhhhh!" Lich King Akhan sat on the skeletal chariot. He raised his staff and cast a Soul Withering spell to devour a whole row of Nurgol's Chosen Warriors. The pustules and scabs on these Nurgol's Chosen Warriors all solidified and lost their vitality.
Death, Nurgle's natural enemy!
Gul appeared. The Chosen Warriors of the Four Gods of Chaos slaughtered their former brethren without hesitation. Gul smashed the shield of a Chaos Warrior with a swing of his axe. The power of the black axe was unstoppable. Behind him, the three armies of graveyard guards advanced together. The elite graveyard guards, who were also fully armored, clashed with the Chosen Warriors of Chaos. The Chosen Warriors of Chaos, who were previously insufferably arrogant, finally met their match!
"Wow!" Luther Haken laughed wildly as he led a large group of undead deck gunners and bombarded the army of Chaos with cannonballs. "It's me who didn't steal or rob. The great King of the Deep Sea will punish you!"
These were life-saving reinforcements. Although Karl-franz had mixed feelings, the Emperor still greeted and thanked Vlad. He immediately ordered all the remaining reserves of the Empire to advance under the leadership of flag bearer Ludwig Schwarzhammer. They were going to take down the Eternal Chosen Warriors today!
Tyfons and Vlad collided. His plague scythe and Bloodthirst clashed. Vlad looked at Tyfons as if he was looking at a worm. The Death Lord swung his Bloodthirst in a circle and forced Tyfons to retreat. Then, he slashed at Tyfons' shoulder. Tyfons' shoulder armor instantly cracked open. The Plague Hive Master realized that the person in front of him was a powerful enemy. "I'll be your opponent!"
Vlad ignored Tyfons completely. The Death Lord turned his gaze to the battlefield. He found Volt and Luther Huss in the middle of the battlefield. At this time, Charlemagne's army was only left with less than two hundred people. They were surrounded by the Chosen Warriors of Chaos. Vlad immediately ordered Gul to delay them. At the same time, he shouted at Volt, "Leave this to me. You go and take care of that person!"
"I don't need you to tell me that!" Volt reluctantly agreed. Charlemagne's Chosen Warriors, with the help of the graveyard guards and the Black Knights, finally broke through the Chaos shield wall and arrived in front of Keron the Conqueror.
"Listen to me! You scum!!! " Tyfons was infuriated when he realized that his opponent was still giving out orders while fighting him. The Plague Hive Master spat out a dozen streams of bile at Vlad. "Accept the power of the Lord of Life!"
If it was the old Vlad, the Lord of Sylvania might have been a little wary of this. But now, he was a demigod. The power of death was the natural enemy of Nurgle's power of decay. Vlad lightly chanted an incantation to dispel Nurgle's' Blessing of Life '. With a backhand swing, the Bloodthirst cut through Tyfons' armor and forced the Plague Hive Master to retreat. Then, Vlad ordered Akerhan, "Awaken the skeletons and support the Empire's army!"
"Understood." Akerhan nodded. The Lich King immediately retreated. Two graveyard guards replaced Akerhan's original position.
"No! Xu! No! Ye! Me! " Tyfons was beyond angry. His head even spewed out yellow-green poisonous smoke. He swore to himself that he would destroy this undead creature in front of him today. He would make Mortarion, the father of his genes, speechless about his glory and victory. He would receive the just reward of Nurgle and be promoted to the Demon Prince!
Finally, Vlad's attention was attracted by Tyfons. The Lord of Death looked indifferent. "Then, come!"
With the help of the undead, the Empire's army finally stabilized. The soldiers were ashamed that they needed the undead to save them, but they were also glad that they still had allies to rely on. Their morale recovered and they also had some time to regroup. Kurfürst Marius and Ivan the Griffin Duke on the left quickly retreated and regrouped. General Mek on the right ordered all the great swordsmen to press forward and support Volten and Huss.
At this time, Charlemagne's army was left with less than 100 people. The flag of the Eternal God's Chosen was right in front of their eyes. Keron – the Conqueror was forced to fight personally. Huss urged his horse forward when he saw Keron approaching.
The priest swung his hammer down, aiming directly at the skull of the Eternal God's Chosen. If this blow landed, it would have crushed Keron's skull.
However, Keron moved quickly and used his weapon to knock the hammer aside. Keron's counterattack was not aimed at Huss, but at the priest's horse.
With Keron's counterattack, the horse screamed in pain. The axe almost cut off the horse's front leg, and Huss fell from the saddle to the ground.
Before Huss could regain his footing, Keron immediately rushed in front of the priest and stabbed his Chaos Greatsword deep into Huss' shoulder. "You've lost, priest!"
"Until the end of the world! Charlemagne, give me strength!!! " When the priest's hammer fell from his weak hand, Huss summoned holy fire and rushed towards his tormentor. "Flame of the Soul!"
Keron's whole body was covered in flames. He was shocked, but he did not fall. His next sword cut deep into the priest's scalp and split his head open. Huss screamed in pain. Without the support of the priest's will, the Flame of the Soul disappeared.
Keron laughed for his victory and blocked Huss' desperate punch. He readied his sword and prepared for the final blow.
When Keron's sword hit the target, Wo Teng urged his mount to charge through the battlefield and attack Keron from behind. "Die! Chaos bastard, I grant you freedom in the name of Charlemagne! "
Gail Maraz smashed down heavily. The Conqueror hurriedly blocked, but the power of the divine hammer forced Keron to retreat a few steps. The strength of the hammer made Keron cry out in pain.
Huss was forgotten. Keron turned to face Wo Teng, his axe flashing. He wanted to cripple the youth's horse just like he had crippled the priest's horse.
But this time, it failed.
Wo Teng's mount, Brittany Sun, was a personal gift from Wang Laing. It was a mixed-blood elven warhorse produced by Laing's royal stables. This warhorse was a cross between the pure-blood elven warhorse Grape II and the mixed-blood elven warhorse Mango III. Its bloodline was relatively pure, and its intelligence, stamina, endurance and weight were all excellent. Even though Keron's heavy blows were fast and powerful, the mixed-blood elven warhorse nimbly dodged to the side. Only the Conqueror's sharp blade could be heard as it cut through the empty air.
Wo Teng swung his hammer again, smashing Keron's Chaos greatsword into pieces.
Now, Eichaen's trusted lieutenant and personal champion only had his battle axe in hand, but he still had no intention of surrendering.
Having tasted Wo Teng's strength and the might of the divine hammer Gail Maraz, Eichaen's lieutenant was afraid, but he was unwilling to admit it. He picked up a Chaos Chosen Warrior's shield from the ground, carefully protecting his vitals. At the same time, he swung his battle axe with all his might. Wo Teng could not seize the opportunity to knock Keron down with a single blow, and Keron narrowly dodged his attacks.
After all, Wo Teng only had a few years of battle experience, and Keron, who had fought in the Chaos Wastelands for hundreds of years, could not compare to him. In one attack, the anxious Charlemagne's Chosen Champion used up all of his strength, and his blow grazed Keron's helmet, causing sparks to fly. Charlemagne's Chosen Champion unfortunately fell off his horse.
Victory! Keron roared in victory, and raised his battle axe, intending to give Wo Teng the final blow.
But Keron had forgotten something he should not have forgotten, and that was the reformer of the Church of Justice — Luther Huss! The battle priest endured the pain of his head being split open, and picked up his priest's hammer, "Charlemagne curses you!"
The flying hammer smashed into Keron's back, causing him to stagger.
For Wo Teng, it was enough.
The Chosen Champion swung his divine hammer Gail Maraz, and smashed Keron's shield with the first blow. The head of the hammer smashed into Keron's chest, creating a large hole. Keron the Conqueror's chest emitted a popping sound, and even the full body divine plate armor blessed by Chaos could not stop the power of Gail Maraz!
The steel cracked, and Wo Teng immediately followed up with a second attack on Ke Rong's head. The Chaos Ox Horn Helmet directly embedded itself into Ke Rong's skull, pressing it tightly together. It had become a meat pancake with iron on the outside and meat on the inside.
Eternal Chosen Champion Eichaen's lieutenant, Khan Kurgan, Keron the Conqueror, had died at Heffwind's hands.
Keron's death shook the entire Chaos army, and the Kurgan began to waver, but something that shocked the Empire happened.
The expected victory did not come. The Chaos demons on the battlefield were still active, and the Kurgan were shaken and panicked, but they did not throw down their weapons and run away.
Soon, the Empire realized a huge problem — the Chaos warlord that they had fought so hard to destroy, was not the Eternal Chosen Champion?
It was like a brave warrior who had sacrificed everything to defeat the enemy, only to find that the enemy was not the Demon King, but the weakest of the Four Heavenly Kings under the Demon King. Even though they had won, the exhaustion and disappointment were irresistible. The Empire's army had fought from dawn to night, and the ten-hour battle had exhausted the Empire's army to the extreme.
The Empire's army on the right could not hold on any longer, and no matter how General Mako tried to regroup, the Empire's army had already begun to crumble. The last thirty ascetics of Charlemagne's army used their lives to protect Wo Teng and Huss as they retreated, and all of them died in battle.
Death Lord Vlad realized where the problem was, and he forced Tyfons, who was tangling with him, to retreat with his sword.
At this time, Tyfons was extremely miserable. The Plague Hive Master's strength was not as strong as his Genetic Father, Mortarion, and was not enough to fight against a demigod like Vlad. However, the children of Nurgle were always very tenacious. Not only was he very resistant to beatings, but his tenacity and stamina were also very high. Vlad thought that he could quickly take care of Tyfons, but he was still unable to do so after fighting for half a day.
Vlad was patient and elegant. Death Lord Vlad manipulated magic, constantly breaking Tyfons' plague shell, and then guided the wind of death into his body. Tyfons' body began to lose its vitality, and the surface of his body became stiffer and more crystallized. The originally rotten skin and rotten flesh were gradually covered and replaced by amethyst. The process was extremely painful, and even Tyfons felt despair.
Tyfons liked to make others despair, but he did not like it at all.
Half of his body began to petrify and turn into amethyst, and Tyfons kept howling in pain. He had not lost yet, but soon.
This battle was won, and Vlad was about to give Tyfons a fatal blow when the sound of a horn came from behind the Chaos army, which attracted Vlad's attention.
The flag of the Blood Dragon Knights appeared behind the Chaos army, and the leader of the Blood Dragon Knights, Valazi Haken, appeared behind the Chaos army riding a giant zombie dragon. Vlad could not help but smile. Although Valazi, the leader of the Blood Dragon Knights, was a brainless beast who only pursued slaughter, glory, and victory, he had his own uses after all.
However, when more horse hooves sounded, and thousands of Chaos Knights followed Valazi and charged together, Vlad's expression changed drastically. He realized that Valazi had betrayed him, and he had defected to the Chaos army!
Emperor Karl-franz, who was in the midst of a fierce battle, directly rode the Death Claw and fought with Valazi, who was on the Bone Dragon, in order to salvage the situation.
It was too late. The Blood Dragon Knights who had defected to the Chaos army used their powerful charge to destroy the possibility of victory in the Battle of Hevengen. Behind Valazi, General Vlasov, the Chosen of Khorne, appeared. The general of the vanguard cavalry led thousands of Chaos Knights and directly crushed the Empire army on the battlefield. He even forced Akerhan to retreat continuously, and the undead's attack was also restricted.
Under the counterattack of the Blood Dragons, the Chaos army regained their courage. They suddenly realized that they had an absolute advantage in terms of numbers. The Nosikas, Huns, Mongols, and Kurgans all returned to the frontline.
As the Northerners regained their courage and joined the Blood Dragons in their counterattack, the Empire army could no longer hold on. They began to collapse. Then, like a flood suddenly breaking through a dam, the Empire army also began to shake.
Since then, the three armies of the Empire were almost on the verge of collapse.
Vlad hurriedly gave up on the final blow to Tyfons and wanted to support the Emperor. However, the screams of the Death Claw came from the sky. Valazi Haken's blade pierced through the Emperor's breastplate. The Blood Dragon Commander was ecstatic as he cut open the wings of the Death Claw. The Gryphon fell from the sky.
Oh no! Vlad felt that things were not going well. The Lord of Death knew that although the Emperor was a beginner of the Sacred Realm, Valazi was a peak existence of the Sacred Realm who had been stuck for many years. He was also a vampire, and the Blood Dragon Ancestor was personally guiding him. Whether it was speed, strength, experience, or skills, the Emperor would only be defeated by Valazi.
If the Godly Hammer Gail Maraz was still in the hands of Card Emperor, the Emperor might be able to fight. But now, Gail Maraz's wielder, Volten, had been submerged under the charge of the Chaos Knights!
As the Emperor fell and was drowned in the tide of Chaos, the Empire army also ushered in a total collapse.
The Empire was defeated. They had lost the Battle of Hevengen.
Vlad gripped the Blood Drinker Sword tightly. The Lord of Death had made up his mind.
Even if they lost the Battle of Hevengen, he had to delay enough time for the Empire to have a chance to retreat to Tara Beheim. Otherwise, the Chaos would be able to flow down the river and reach the Empire's capital, Brunswick!
However, at this moment, a graceful figure appeared in the Chaos army and attracted Vlad's attention.
"Isabella???"
