Chapter 34 Confidence and Ego
Speaking of which, since Valed had corresponded with Magnus several years ago when he invaded the Prince of the Frontier, his correspondence with Magnus has not been cut off in the past few years. From his letters, Valed could see the empire emperor's vigorous ambitions, greedy and aggressive attitude, and arrogance.
These are consistent with the character of the empire emperor Magnus obtained through other channels. Therefore, after understanding his character and habits, Valed was usually able to write the words that impressed the emperor based on these.
In contrast, Vared himself concealed the letter. He used his rhetoric to hide himself as a relatively cowardly and smart man who was used to compromise. In order to confuse the emperor.
This made him take a lot of advantage in the secret diplomacy with the Sigma Empire in recent years. Sadly, Magnus naively believed that he had mastered Vared von Castein, the smartest and most cunning vampire in the world.
Valed is about 70% to 80% sure that he can use these conditions to convince the emperor of the Sigma Empire. Under the premise that Sirvania is a harmless country with a team of empires, Magnus will most likely not reject these conditions.
Military supplies, funds, and an elite fleet composed of a wealthy free city and a large pirate. The conditions proposed by Vared were all what he needed. Of course, the Empire and Sylvania would have a bargaining next, which is certain.
I just still feel very unhappy.
Vared felt very unhappy.
As his strength became stronger, his power became stronger, and his ability became higher, he became less and less used to writing these cowardly and humble words. He felt that this was an insult to him.
His mentality in writing these words, from the initial pride, to the later indifference, to the later unwillingness and anger. His mentality, except for Elsa, who is connected to his heart, is not worthy of being told to others.
"One day, I will make that guy pay the price." Valed swore more than once. Of course, on the surface, he would still act calmly and carelessly, so as to win the admiration of his subordinates.
After writing a letter to the Emperor of the Sigma Empire, Vared wrote another letter to his clan uncle Felix. In addition to retelling the content of his transaction with the Emperor of the Sigma Empire, he also expressed his concerns.
Although Valed felt that Magnus was unlikely to reject the proposal, he still reminded Felix not to relax his vigilance. He must step up his guard to prevent the other party from launching a surprise attack on Scarton using the help of negotiations.
After all this, a violent roar made Valed, who was drowsy and wanted to fall asleep, wake up again. He knew that it was the sound of the few remaining artillery fires on his side.
"Two months have passed... The railway line from Dekenhof to Wadenhof has been completed, and most of the arsenal's production line has been assembled. It's a good start."
After talking to himself like this, Vared stretched again, walked to the "bed" pieced together with tattered wooden boards, and fell on it all at once. This time I really have to sleep.
September.
After defeating several Chaos forward troops in succession, Mrs. Ski finally faced a strong enough challenge. It was one of Echaren's deputy, the powerful Chaos forward troops commanded by Sally's demon prince Sigwald.
This handsome and toned, with beautiful golden hair. He was so narcissistic that he ordered the soldiers of his guards to use silver that was grinding like mirrors as shields, so that he could appreciate his handsome posture anytime and anywhere, even on the battlefield.
However, although the behavior of this demon prince seemed ridiculous, his strength was absolutely terrifying. Vared once heard his father-in-law Aurach say that in the north, the "master who uses stinging swords and shields" was what he said. In other words, this person also belongs to the first echelon of the world's top military power.
After a failed contest, Prince Sigwald was forced to serve allegiance to Echaren. However, the prince claimed to his followers that this was just what he did on purpose, one of the reasons was that he received instructions from his master, the evil god of Chaos Salis. Another reason was that the prince believed that the experience of becoming a subordinate...is very interesting.
In any case, Sigwald was a demon prince who was favored by the true god and had a strong ability. Aicharn still valued him quite well. This time, when the Doomsday Lord was hesitating for sea or land, Sigwald stood up and expressed his willingness to act as the line of land, which is the commander of fighting against Skiff. After hesitating for a moment, Aicharn agreed to his request.
"If he could defeat Mrs. Skie, it would be great to clear a route to the south... but before that, the failed wastes usually attacked the southern people who believed in pseudo-gods in the south.
Because of this, the enemy will definitely arrange heavy troops in that direction, build fortresses and defense lines to block us. Although the army of the True God is absolutely impossible to defeat. However, the soldiers consumed and the time they were delayed are unforgivable... So, maybe I can use a little means..."
Of course, Echarn did not tell Prince Sigwald about what he was thinking. The twisted heart of this doomsday lord who was beaten by Valed in the Eye of Chaos made him suspicious and distrusted, and would not say what he said to anyone, including his loyal adjutant and Chiron, the conqueror of the Huns' largest tribe leader, and would not say what he said.
In this way, after encouraging the demon prince, Aicharen assigned him a group of troops, and they merged with the army of erotic believers owned by Prince Sigwald himself into a large army. He led all the way south, and in September he arrived at the fortress renamed "Chaos Destroyer" by the female tsar Ekaterina.
The loud and sweet prince promised the soldiers at the top of the city and Mrs. Ski in the camps on both sides of the castle:
"Join us, faith in the great God of Sally, Skiff's people, this will be the only way for you to preserve your life and gain happiness and vitality. Because you are so small and humble, it is not worth mentioning in the face of the army of the true God!" Prince Sigwald said to them with full confidence.
Unfortunately, the demon prince thought that it was very reasonable and extremely moving speech that could cause a violent sensation and cheer in front of his subordinates. In the eyes of these "savage" and "ugly" Madame Ski, it seemed like a clown's performance. They had no other response except to sneer. This made Prince Sigwald feel very angry. He tried to continue to louder his voice and continue to speak, and this time, the response to him was not a sneer and contemptuous look, but a group of Ugore's sharpshooters shot at him.
——Of course, it was too ridiculous to kill a demon prince with such means. Amid the "buzzing" sound of arrow rain breaking through the air, a transparent pink and purple barrier appeared in front of Prince Sigwald, and all the bows and arrows shot on it turned into a burst of pink and purple dust and disappeared.
It was precisely because of this that the demon prince was finally angry. He had a gloomy face and returned to his array surrounded by the guards holding the silver mirror shield. Sigwald, who was so angry that he announced loudly that he would attack Mrs. Ski's fortress.
Then, the war began...
A large number of Chaos Trolls and Ogres, these tall monsters waved their big wooden sticks and walked in front, running towards the heavy hardwood gate of Chaos Destroyer Castle, hoping to use the huge wooden stick with stones tied in their hands to smash the city gate open. But these monsters underestimated the determination of the defenders.
The city gate had long been sealed tightly by Mrs. Ski. It was no easier to destroy the city gate than to destroy the city wall itself. The wooden sticks of the ogres and trolls were smashed on it, but even though the dust was flying, they could not do anything to them.
Of course, this situation does not mean that Mrs. Ski will watch these guys destroy and remain indifferent. When the fortress cannons protruded on both sides of the city wall, several fortress cannons were loaded.
As Commander Ski, who was bearded, shouted loudly, a total of six fortress cannons opened fire together. The fortress cannons filled with excessive gunpowder made a loud noise, spewing out a large number of lead-shock fragments, iron sand and iron filings! This shotgun blasted over, and even the thick-skinned ogres and trolls could only wail and cry and fell to the ground.
At the same time, the first round of gunfire was like a signal. On the Chaos Destroyer Fortress, more artillery, Skiff Shooting Army, Ugour Shooting Master and Ice Magician also threw large blocks of barrages composed of bows and arrows, lead bullets, shrapnel bullets, huge ice cones and ice guns.
Countless Chaos believers who followed Sigwald's orders and rushed towards the fortress, the Chaos Raiders who were red and strong chests, muscular upper bodies, and fur cloaks were constantly killed by the Skiff City Defense Forces.
"Damn it! Go back! We don't have siege weapons, so it's useless to stay here! Go back!!!"
