ps: This is the second update today! I tried my best to write another chapter. Where are your votes?
The process of contact and negotiation between the undead is always full of pain, hypocrisy, and cunning. Normally, every vampire count or necromancer will not trust others, and only seeks survival and strength amidst rebellion and lies.
It is the survival law of the undead.
In history, the betrayal and conspiracy between the necromancer and the vampire count is as simple as eating and drinking. Every undead lord is a careerist. They may abandon their allies or tear up their alliances at any time.
It's about watching the moment when others are weak and trying to find a way to take advantage of the ally's strength.
It's just that under the current situation, both Heinrich Kemmler, who has just recovered, and Mathhubard, who has repeatedly failed in his attempts to cause trouble, are keenly aware that they have the need and reasons to form an alliance.
Mahhubard is different from his godfather Arkhan. He is a powerful warrior rather than an excellent wizard. He does know how to cast some vampire spells, but the gap is huge compared to Arkhan.
One in the sky and one on the earth.
After one war after another and several failed plots, Mahhubard's current situation in Britannia has fallen into an extreme disadvantage. If the Chivalry army attacks Mousilon, most of them will be taken away by Arkhan.
The Duke of Mousilon was unable to go out of the city to fight with the Chivalry army, so he could only close the door and defend himself.
If this continues, it will be a slow death, and Mathhubade knows that he must seek change.
The great undead wizard Heinrich Kemmler, who is hiding in the Blackstone Stronghold, has naturally become Mathhubard's most ideal alliance partner. Of course Mathhubard knows the grudges between Kemmler and the Duke of Winford's family.
and his many attacks on the Abbey of La Messenel.
The existence of the Staff of Nagash is no longer a secret. It is not only the goal of Kemmler, but also the goal of Mahhubard. It is one of the several tasks left by the Lich King Arkhan to Mahhubard.
Arkhan did not ask Mahhubard to take back the Staff of Nagash under the garrison led by a Holy Grail Knight. He only asked Mahhubard to at least ensure that the Staff of Nagash would not be taken away by others.
.
This is the reason why Mahhubard extended an olive branch to Kemmler. Regardless of whether the undead wizard can communicate, there is always no harm in giving it a try.
As for Kemmler, the Undead Archman also has a reason to form an alliance with Mathubad.
Originally, from Kemmler's point of view, what he should do after regaining his strength is to lie dormant, wait for the opportunity, secretly slowly corrupt the eastern border of Britannia, gather strength, and wait for the opportunity when the Knight Kingdom is weak to complete his revenge in one fell swoop.
Completely destroy the defenses of La-Messnel Monastery and obtain the Staff of Nagash.
Time is not a problem for this kind of undead wizard. His life is long enough and he has enough time to plan. The defense of the Black Stone Stronghold is very strong. The trebuchets of those knights cannot reach the Black Stone Stronghold. They want to attack it.
Going down this fortress is simply a fantasy.
But Kemmler also had his problems.
First of all, it is no longer news that Ryan and Francois invited the dwarf Angland clan to form a large coalition to attack the Blackstone stronghold. Such large-scale troop mobilization and material preparation cannot escape the eyes and ears of vampires. Kemmler
You know, Francois is ready to seek revenge on him. The dwarf's heavy artillery is not a trebuchet, it is a well-known siege weapon.
Secondly, Kemmler no longer has the conditions for long-term plotting and slowly replenishing his troops. From the moment he accepted the contract of the Four Gods of Chaos, he gained control of Gul and the pair of undead Chaos God-chosen warriors.
From that moment on, he was destined to continue to please the Four Gods of Chaos through killing and destruction, otherwise the evil god might withdraw his power at any time and abandon him. The patience of the God of Darkness was extremely limited.
He also had to take action.
The scale of the Tomb Legion today is not comparable to the scale of the decisive battle with Francois when he first entered Britannia, or the second time he entered Britannia through Athel Loren.
When Kemmler entered the forests of Athel Loren for the second time, the wood elf army was defeated.
After France defeated Kemmler, he could only awaken the Excalibur Tree King Dursu and ask for help from Britannia. The Oracle of the Lake Fairy sent out a team of Holy Grail Knights and led a large group of knights, wood elves and tree elves to form a team.
It took the massive coalition force "Nature's Wrath" to defeat Kemmler.
Kemmler has been suffering from madness for more than ten years, and he is now in urgent need of replacements.
When Kemmler needed Mathhubard, and Mathhubard also needed Kemmler, the alliance between the two undead generals became a matter of course.
In order to show respect to Kemmler, Mathubard, who was at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, led several Black Holy Grail knights, two vampire lords and a corpse king through the two principalities of Bastogne and Montfort, and came to Gray
At the foot of the mountain range, I made an appointment to meet Kemmler in an abandoned noble villa.
This aristocratic villa is located at the foot of the Gray Mountains. It was once a villa used by a knight noble for vacation. It has been abandoned for many years. Undead creatures have been walking around here all year round. Undead have been witnessed moving around the villa many times at night. Villagers
They regarded this place as a forbidden place and left behind many horrific legends.
The Principality of Bastogne and the Principality of Montfort once organized coalition troops to come here. However, after inspection, they found that this place was really just an abandoned villa. Out of respect for the deceased knight nobles, the Dukes ordered to return the same way.
And ordered the serfs to stay away from here.
Mathhubard and Kemmler arranged to meet here.
After several months of dormant waiting and absorbing the power of the dead Black Holy Grail Knight, Mathubad's skin became increasingly pale as paper, and his power became more powerful and clearly broke through a certain shackle. He was wearing a full-body black cursed armor.
Several black spikes glowed under the faint light, and he was holding a black sharp blade.
Duke Mousilon was followed by more than a dozen followers. His blue eyes were constantly moving, trying to look at the undead wizard in front of him: "Nice to meet you, Mr. Kemmler. I know something about you.
, as far as I know you are a great undead wizard who once brought endless suffering to this country, so I am here."
Contrary to expectations, Heinrich Kemmler's appearance is definitely not skinny. He does have sunken cheeks and a pale face, but he is tall and wears a black human skin.
He wears robes, a pointed necromancer hat, a long aquiline nose, slender fingers, a long white beard hanging down to his waist, and a mark on his face and forehead.
A scar, that was left by Francois, Duke of Winford. Francois once chopped off half of Kemmler's head with a sword. The undead wizard reluctantly put his head back, but
The scars left by the Unicorn Sword have been tormenting the undead archmancer for more than ten years, until they were dissipated by the power of the God of Chaos a few months ago.
Years of wandering have left Kemmler's body and robes scarred with scars, but this has not affected his strong heart to pursue power and his long-cherished wish to destroy everything in the Knight Kingdom. On his chest, there are several skulls with a picture of a human being.
Skin.
That was the face of Francois's father, Tancred I. Unlike Francois, Tancred I, the former Duke of Winford, was brutally defeated by Kemmler's Tomb Army in the Battle of Montfort Bridge.
The undead great wizard resurrected the former Duke of Winford as an undead knight, and then scalped him as a trophy to warn the people of the Knight Kingdom of the consequences of resisting him.
"It's no use that you're here, young Black Knight." Heinrich Kemmler's voice was high-pitched and hoarse. He raised his head, and the only thing that could be seen under the brim of the tattered and moldy wizard hat was his wrinkles.
face and a pair of gloomy eyes: "I know who you are, Arkhan's godson. You are not the Lich King, and you have no authority to represent him."
"I do not represent my godfather, but I can represent myself and Musilon." Mathhubade sat behind the rotten black wooden table. He stared at Kemmler with a touch of contempt in his eyes.
: "And you? Herr Heinrich Kemmler?"
"You are not qualified to negotiate with me. Your godfather will do it." Heinrich Kemmler's eyes moved, and his expression showed no wavering. He was thinking about the need for an alliance: "But there is no other way, let us negotiate.
Let’s talk.”
The great undead wizard despises Mathhubard from the bottom of his heart. He is too young. At the same time, Kemmler has also heard about his repeated failures. He looks down on Mathhubard from the bottom of his heart. He can call himself the Duke of Mousilon, but he is just an Arkhanliu.
A gift for your godson.
However, Mathubad is not worthless to Kemmler, such as the several Black Holy Grail knights in front of him, and for example... the many secrets buried deep in the ground in Britannia, Musilon standing in Gray
The mouth of the Smoray River has been at the mouth of the sea for hundreds of years, and it has been able to survive many chivalry wars. Kemmler has no way of knowing how many undead troops there are in Mousilon, but he thinks there must be a lot of them, and Mathubad
There is also Arkhan's huge force as backup.
Mathubad's aura was faint and powerful enough. Kemmler thought that if he could make good use of Mousilon's army, he would have a good chance of defeating Francois and the defenders of La Messenel Abbey.
By the time he obtains the Staff of Nagash, Mashubad will be useless. Kemmler has already defected to Chaos. He and Arkhan are destined to no longer be in the same camp. By then, let Gul take Mashubad.
Just kill Bud.
As long as they are careful not to let Mahubard and Arkhan find out that they have surrendered to Chaos, when they obtain the Staff of Nagash and absorb its power, even the Lich King Arkhan will not be their opponent!
Kemmler was still calculating the gains and losses. Mahhubard looked at Kemmler and was thinking in his heart.
The dilemma he faces has been mentioned before. The alliance with Kemmler is indeed dangerous and unstable, but in general, Kemmler and his Tomb Army can greatly alleviate the military pressure faced by Mahhubard.
.
Mathurbard received the teachings of Arkhan. The Lich King has many corpse pits in Britannia. The largest corpse pit is the place where the Dukes of Artois and Aquitaine were destroyed.
Only Mashubad knows the locations of these two corpse pits.
With Kemmler's necromancy, the great undead wizard can awaken two huge undead armies in the corpse pit, and the lost army will be greatly replenished. Mahhubard does not have this ability, but Kemmler does.
.
Let Kemmler and his Tomb Legion fight and consume the knights of Britannia! When the time is right, Mathubard will reveal the truth about the Lake Fairy to the knights of Britannia.
He will tear apart the hypocritical veil of the Lake Fairy. The knights thought that their goddess was their light of hope, but in fact she was taking advantage of their fairy Bichi!
Just let the army of the undead wizard consume the knights. Kemmler and his Tomb Army will be useful. Mahhubard laughed in his heart. He will definitely not let Kemmler obtain the Staff of Nagash.
That artifact belongs to his godfather. All he needs to do is retreat skillfully and turn against him. Wait for Kemmler's entire army to be wiped out, and then he can clean up the mess. By the way, he will become a model of chivalry who endures humiliation and can save the kingdom of knights.
A hero in distress.
The undead generals, each with their own concerns, began negotiations and gradually reached an agreement.
"I will tell you the location of the corpse pits of the Duke of Artois and the Duke of Aquitaine. As a condition, you must give me control of half of the resurrected army, including the dead Duke Armand of Aquitaine.
And the dead Duke Zilfroy of Artois." Mathhubard said in a low voice.
"Yes." Kemmler replied simply: "My request is that you and your army must help me. I will decide where to fight."
"Okay." Mashubade nodded in agreement.
"Let's start along the Gray Mountains first, let the Knight Kingdom feel my revenge, and you will assist me." Kemmler then put forward his own conditions: "To lead the way for me, I need to collect enough dead souls to strengthen my
until we can completely defeat these chivalrous patients, destroy Francois and his principality, and complete my revenge, until we can attack the monastery and seize the Staff of Nagash."
"We need each other. The Blood Knights and Black Holy Grail Knights under my command will help you. We have a common goal." Mahhubard thought that you would not live until the day when the goal is completed.
Duke Mousilon stretched out his hand with a smile on his face.
"Yes, we need each other, and when the time comes, your wish will also be fulfilled." Kemmler thought that when I get the Staff of Nagash, Gul will wipe out all of you and your Black Holy Grail Knights, and I will
Give your head to Khorne, give the plague-stricken Mousilon to Nurgle, give this great show of treachery to Slaanesh, and give Tzeentch the great plan to kill you.
The godson of the Lich King Arkhan, the evil god will definitely be satisfied.
The undead wizard also smiled and stretched out his hand.
The dull wizard's big hand held hands with Mathubad's young and pale hand.
