Maximian, the Elector of Osterland, asked loudly. His face turned livid instantly and his veins jumped. The reason was actually very simple. When the Norscans invaded and went south directly without passing through Kislev, they would inevitably
It will pass through the Oster Territory. Although the border has been defended for many years, almost everyone in the empire believes that the first person to suffer from the barbarian invasion is Kislev. As long as there is an alarm from Kislev, they are preparing to
Not too late. But this time is different. Just as Rhodes guessed, the Norscans took the sea route...
You can't trap a wolf even if you don't want to give up your children. There are times when barbarians can be cunning and give it a go.
"They took a boat from other ports, and our riders couldn't get close to their base camp. It was already a week after we got the news."
The chief sighed in a low voice. It should be said that this tribal leader is now a member of the civilized world. It is better to say he is a chief than a town mayor. Like other places in Kislev, Tucker, as a chief,
Responsible for all affairs of the entire Dragon Bone Port.
"A week later... In other words, the large tribesmen who crossed the sea by boat have left for at least two weeks?"
Maximian frowned and asked. It's better to say that he already had the answer in his heart than to say it was a question. And the answer was so bloody. Two weeks, if you go by land, it's nothing, but if you go by water,
, enough to span the entire Sea of Claws, that is to say, when the coalition forces of Oster, Ostermark, and Kislev just went north to reach the coast of Norska, the barbarian army had already gone south to the territory of the empire. They
Just passed by...
"um, yes……"
Tucker replied.
"Two weeks...two weeks..."
Maximian repeated these two sentences repeatedly. Rhodes knew the anxiety in his heart. This time, compared to the anxiety of the Imperial people, Rhodes did not seem so worried. The reason was simple. The barbarian army was surrounding them.
Opening Kislev and landing from the north coast of the empire means that this invasion has nothing to do with Kislev itself. Secondly, at the Altdorf meeting, I had warned these imperial guys before, but now, they are not listening to the advice.
, and it just happened to teach these arrogant imperial electors a lesson.
"Great Lord, the dwarves from Dulong City sent this thing."
Just when Maximian was worried, Tucker asked someone to hand over a beautifully wrapped treasure. To be precise, it was a gift. Rhodes didn't even react at first until Celta handed over the box.
Opening it and peeling off the layers of wrapping, Rhodes realized that this was the legacy of killing the frost dragon a while ago - a pure dragon tooth sword. It was forged by dwarf craftsmanship, and the forging craftsmanship of Dulong City was naturally not used.
Said it was considered top-notch in the old world.
Opening the wrapping cloth and holding the big sword in his hand, a heavy feeling instantly came over him. Even Rhodes, who had extraordinary arm strength, felt the heavy weight of the big sword. This was a huge two-handed sword.
Almost as tall as a man.
The hilt is made of dragon teeth. In order to increase the grip, the milky white hilt is carved with circles of convex and concave layers and distinct outlines. The end of the hilt is inlaid with Dulong City's unique sapphire. It can reflect soft light under the moonlight.
Blu-ray.
The sword is engraved with dwarven runes, which look more complicated than the runes of the Thunder Battle Ax. The curved lines are all over the sword. Although I don’t know what they are, I can feel a mysterious power inside the sword.
He rolled over, and the longer he held the sword, the more energetic his body became, as if an invisible force was urging him, and the desire to fight filled his body.
Maximian was dumbfounded by this priceless weapon. As an elector, Maximian had seen a lot of the world, and the Dragon Tooth Sword was definitely a rarity no matter where it was in the old world.
You must know that within the empire, the only person qualified to wear the Dragon Tooth Sword is the Emperor-Elect himself. It is a symbol of authority and status. It has long exceeded its practical value.
…
Nordland.
Dust was flying on the endless snowfield. From a distance, it looked like a herd of migrating animals, rushing from the coastline. General Wilk stood on the temporary fortification, looking at the tide-like army of barbarians.
He felt uneasy. He knew that with the small number of permanent troops stationed on the border, it was impossible to defend it.
The messenger has already brought the news to Altdorf, the capital of the empire, to ask for help. I don’t know if he will be intercepted on the way. Judging from the information reported from various places, the barbarian invasion is overwhelming. It seems that the entire Nordland is full of people overnight.
The barbarian army burned, killed and looted.
The general vaguely recalled the group of troops heading to the empire from Kislev two months ago. It seemed that the leader, the Lord of Kislev named Rhodes, warned the emperor and the electors from various places, but it seemed that no one
Care. So, now, have his words come true?
Wilk didn't know... After hearing the news that a large number of barbarians appeared on the beach, he immediately moved his wife and children to the south. But now, he was alone. In order to protect his property and family, he could fight and drive the barbarians away.
The army is holding it back. Waiting for reinforcements... But, can it be held back?
Without any time to think, the top of my head was covered by a huge dark cloud... No, that's not a dark cloud!
"Dragon! Frost dragon!"
The soldiers shouted behind them. Just as the heavy ballista adjusted its angle, a sheet of ice fell from the sky like a waterfall. With the roar of a giant dragon, the entire Nord Territory position was instantly covered by a sheet of ice. It was located in the center of the frost breath.
The soldiers didn't even have time to scream, and were instantly frozen into ice sculptures.
"General! The Norscans have broken through the defenses!"
More terrifying news came immediately. Looking in the direction pointed by the guard, Wilk saw a terrifying scene. In conjunction with the breath of the frost dragon, a large wave of barbarians and direwolves broke through the temporary defense of the defenders.
barrier.
Thousands of barbarians are rolling over the ravine filled with flesh and blood. They have various strange tattoos on their bodies, and they hold simple weapons in their hands. They are barking like wild beasts, and when they see people,
Just chop. No tactics at all, just relying on physical strength to fight against the Empire's firearms and armor.
"Hold on!"
"Stabilize the shield wall!"
The Nord leader of the border guard shouted at the front line. However, as soon as he finished speaking, a rotating flying ax hit his neck. In an instant, blood spurted out, turning the captain into a bloody man.
The soldiers' shields were pierced by rough axes, and then the barbarians stepped on the heads of the Nordland infantry and impaled the human soldiers beneath them with a thick spear. In excitement, the Norscan warriors
Roaring wildly, they chopped off the dead soldiers' heads and hung them on the ax handles. The warm breath exhaled from the mouths and noses of these barbaric warriors, and dispersed into white mist in the cold air.
