Proof of the Sun King

ps: I have something to go out today, so I will update it earlier.

Many people have an inherent impression of the badlands, that is, the composition of the badlands is green skin + a small number of dwarves. People who are well-informed also know that there are occasionally tomb kings and undead haunt here, but for the badlands that once appeared The great empires of the past, little is known.

This matter starts with Nagash, the lord of the undead, who led his army of the undead and the last tomb king Arcadiza more than a thousand years before Charlemagne rose to the old world. In the final battle, Nagash was defeated and fled, but the undead Lord quickly used the plague to finally wipe out all the living people of the Nicohara civilization, and finally captured Arkadiza alive, Nagash did not kill or To transform Arkadiza, he wanted him to witness the destruction of the entire human world.

Nagash planned to carry out a giant awakening ceremony. It wanted to wake up all the dead in the whole world and become the king of the dead in the world. After learning the news, the Skaven decided to prevent Nagash from destroying himself. Gash, the rat people rescued Arcadiza and gave him a dimensional stone dagger. Arcadiza used his last strength to give Nagash a backstab, and Nagash was cut into pieces. , and then Arcadiza took off the crown of sorcery and fled to the Badlands, where he died of exhaustion.

By the way, although the Skaven released and helped Arcadiza for their own sake, they did save the world in a way.

So how did Strigger's undead empire come about?

Almost 1,200 years before Charlemagne established his empire, and more than 3,000 years ago, a human shaman named Kandong, the chieftain of an ancient human primitive tribe, discovered in the center of the badlands, near the Blind River. The corpse of Arkadiza and the sorcery crown in his hands, the young shaman was immediately fascinated by this crown and put it on his head, so Nagash's mind eroded and controlled his soul, just in A The location of Kadiza's corpse, Kandong built a city and named it Mulcain. Under the power of the witchcraft crown, almost all the shamans of the tribe became necromancers, and this primitive tribe quickly changed. became very powerful and began to expand and conquer other tribes.

It took more than a hundred years, and the city under Candon's rule gradually became a powerful city-state empire after years of development.

Usoran, the head of the Strigg family, one of the five vampire families, was attracted by the power of the Crown of Witchcraft. This powerful blood ancestor killed Candon and led a group of vampires and necromancers to seize Mulcain's rule. Quan, established the famous Strigg's undead empire, these people are called the Strignis.

In all fairness, it was an extremely splendid and prosperous empire. Wu Suoran was a master of martial arts and achieved great political achievements. The blood ancestor of the Streger family was not only outstanding in personal martial arts, proficient in undead magic, but also had an excellent experience in governing the country. Suoran made the commoners worship the Midnight Nobles headed by Usoran as gods by publicizing the power of the blood nobles and the ritual of blood. All Strigniers will accept the "Ritual of Blood" and become the blood nobles as their own. The highest reward, the empire prospered, the people surrendered to the rule of Uthoran, and were proud of their identities as Strigniers.

In its heyday, the Strigger undead empire was bounded by the Border Prince Territory in the north, Hell Swamp in the south, the Roof of the World Mountains in the east, and Blackwater Bay in the west. for hundreds of years.

In addition to Wenzhi martial arts, this blood ancestor is also proficient in diplomacy and tactics. After investigation, Wu Suoran chose to form an alliance with the dwarf kingdoms in the Roof Mountains of the World, because the dwarves keep their promises and are not very affected by undead magic. For the increasingly large group of midnight nobles, Usoran ordered that vampires be prohibited from attacking their own people, but chose to obtain blood and food from captives, slaves and criminals, so the Strigneys never felt that the midnight nobles were very important. Terrible, on the contrary, they have always been happy to accept the rule of Usoran, and the nobility of the night and the necromancers have always been frivolous.

"The entire Strigger undead empire has thus formed a very stable ruling structure." Baelega took a sip of dwarf beer: "And according to the book of hatred, this guy Usoran is quite trustworthy."

After listening to Bellegar's story, Ryan was okay. Callard and Federmond, Juan Carlos Sunwatcher and others on the side were all ashamed. Many knights and nobles couldn't help but ask themselves, this group of undead The nobles actually do better than us?

What's the point?

Are the undead the race destined to rule the world?

"Then why, this undead empire finally perished?" Callard asked with interest: "According to your description, King Belgar, it is obviously so powerful and popular..."

"Because of blood." Ryan frowned, and the king of knights said lightly: "Vampires need to drink blood after all, but they can't get blood from the inhabitants of the undead empire, so they must continue to wage war and expansion to meet the needs of more and more people. The hunger of more and more midnight nobles, and the expansion and conquest of an empire has a limit after all."

"Brother Ryan is right." Bellegar nodded again and again, and the King of Eight Peaks said slowly: "Because they need blood and can't get it from the people, Wu Suoran and the midnight nobles under his leadership have to keep it up. Expansion and conquest, the empire's territory is getting bigger and bigger, and the frontier line is getting longer and longer, which makes the army of the entire Strigger's undead empire is severely scattered, and over time, expansion and conquest become more and more difficult , The greenskin tribes and some human tribes around the long frontier are continuously at war with the Strigger Empire, and the army of the entire empire is exhausted and its number is gradually decreasing."

"When Usoran led the army to the current position of the border princes and fought against the army led by many human wizards, disaster struck, and a green-skinned warlord named Dok-red-eyed launched a very large giant waaagh! The Greenskin Tide quickly overwhelmed the sparse border guards and broke into the heart of the Strigger Empire, firmly encircling the capital, Mulcain."

"When the news of the attack reached Usoran, who was leading his army in the north, he immediately turned his army to defend the capital. After continuous fighting and long marches, Strig's army was exhausted, but The Greenskins have no intention of giving the Striggs any chance in a days-long epic showdown in the Dust Plains."

"In the end, Usoran and his army were also unable to stand up to the endless greenskins, and they failed, and the remaining remnants were forced to retreat towards Mulcain's gates, and the greenskins warlords soon discovered that the gates were for Opened in response to Wu Suoran and its defeated army, the cunning Dok-Red Eye immediately ordered a general attack, Wu Suoran decided to make a final resistance, he guarded the gate alone, and fought against more than a dozen green-skinned warlords and shamans at the same time. The duel is like an epic, Usoran failed after holding on for a long time, Mulcain fell, the army of greenskins destroyed and slaughtered everything but the greenskins, the empire of the undead of Strigg was destroyed, and it used to be incomparable. Above the ruins of the glorious undead empire of Strigg is filled with the jeers of greenskins and the shrieking echoes of vampires."

"At this time, there are still two hundred years before Charlemagne established his empire." After Bellegar finished talking about a long history, the King of Eight Peaks sighed: "A few humans escaped, that is, the Strignis, They became nomads wandering around with their caravans, and their myths and legends still chronicle the golden age of wealth and power when their empire was ruled by the "undead king" and prophesied that one day Usoran would Come back and lead his people to reclaim their ancient homeland and restore it to its splendor."

"I know, the Strigneys." Anthem said with a smile: "There was once a group of Strigneys who came to Winford, and the Strigneys headed by them claimed to be Mysterious Demons and wanted to tell The cousin showed his magical power, and the cousin's answer was simple and quick, he ordered the arrest of this group of Strigneys, who can be confirmed to have magical powers will be executed, and the rest will be deported."

"Normal, no one wants a group of vagabonds who sing praises to the vampire king and spread vampire myths and legends all day long in their own territory, spreading all kinds of remarks that are not conducive to social stability and harmony." Ryan nodded helplessly: "They are always reluctant. Settling down, I hope to see their vampire king again one day, right?"

"I heard that there is a large group of Strigger vampires that have been completely beastized in Mulcain now." Bellegar nodded: "These beastized and crazy vampires gathered in the ruins of Mulcain. They still feel that they live in that glorious history, imitating the scenes of Strig's ancient court, as if they call themselves the Carnivorous Court, and no one dares to approach anyway. There."

Carnivorous royal court? Strig? Moore Cain? Ryan lowered his head and thought for a while.

He has actually obtained part of the wealth of the Strigger undead empire, and a large part of the wealth given to him by the blood dragon ancestor Able Wallace came from the former Strigger empire, and the blood dragon ancestor once joined the Wukong The Empire of Soran served him, and Able Wallace was not there when Mulcain fell, and the blood ancestor was forced to wander.

"Perhaps we are a bunch of evil and twisted monsters in the eyes of the Strigni and the undead, and in the eyes of these evil creatures, they themselves are handsome knight nobles, well-dressed, elegant and decent." Vero. Nika said with a smile on the side: "Their cognition has been distorted."

"An empire has a whole historical cycle from its birth, development, prosperity, prosperity to decline and demise." Ryan pulled the reins of his mount, Grapevine, and said warmly: "If we don't want to go through this cycle, we don't want to watch it. As my country perishes amid domestic and foreign difficulties, it must reform and self-renovate. This is what I have always tried to do. Everyone, if you don't want Brittany to face the same fate as Strigger's undead empire , we must strengthen ourselves! The reform must continue.”

The Holy Grail Knights surrounding the King nodded, and many showed thoughtful expressions.

"We have all witnessed your contribution to the kingdom, my king." Karad wanted to express his admiration for Ryan seriously, but when he said this, Belgar couldn't help but laugh. Wang Haha laughed, and he shouted at Ryan: "Brother Ryan, fellow knights, there is a rumor at Haimenguan recently, have you heard it? Haha, it's so interesting, Valaya's braid, my first I heard such a funny joke once!"

"..." Hearing Bellegar say that, many of the knights turned black.

Most of the knights heard that rumor.

"Brittanian knights can only win battles under the leadership of dwarfs, women, foreigners."

imperial court jokes

"Okay." Ryan let out a long breath, and the king shook his head: "Don't care about those rumors, you know very well how many people in the whole old world are waiting to hear the news of our expeditionary army's defeat. Now, win this battle. A war is more useful than anything else."

"Yes!"

…………I am the dividing line that can only speak if I win…………

The expedition continued to march along the Badwater River, towards the Iron Rocks in the Roof of the World Mountains.

Iron and Steel Rock is not actually on the way to Bafeng Mountain. On the contrary, if you look at the map, Iron and Steel Rock is almost in a straight line with Arsenal Fort and Haimen Pass, while Bafeng Mountain is located in the southeast of Iron and Steel Rock. Bypassing Heiyan Fort, from the perspective of the road, the expeditionary army did detour a long way.

And as the march to the badlands deepened, the environment faced by the army gradually became more difficult. There were not so many greenskin fortresses to plunder, and the supply line began to be harassed by goblin wolf cavalry and some scattered greenskin tribes. The food supply began to become standardized. The merchants and small traders who accompanied the army felt the danger and left one after another. There were also some soldiers who could not stand the harsh environment in the badlands~www.wuxiaspot.com~ or fell ill because of the soil and water, or opened the door. deserted as a deserter.

At the time of the expedition, the army of more than 40,000 people was divided and garrisoned and lost, and now there are only about 35,000 people left. Some knights and gentlemen saw that there was no benefit to fishing, and they began to say strange things. They hoped that Ryan would march directly towards Bafeng Mountain. , instead of going around to fight the iron rock, there were some remarks in the expedition army, such as "His Majesty Ryan only walks the back and not the bowstring" "The troops will be dragged down in this way."

Ryan sternly refuted the opinions in the expeditionary army. The king said that before attacking the Eight Peaks Mountain, we must conquer the steel rock, otherwise if the greenskin tribe of the steel rock attacked the expedition army from behind at a critical moment or took the opportunity to cut off the supply line, then the expedition army will It is unsustainable, and the only outcome is the annihilation of the entire army. This is a bad land, not a human kingdom!

Moreover, there is nothing wrong with the harsh environment of the badlands, but along the foothills of the World Roof Mountains, there are broad-leaved forests, which are the best camps for humans.

Of course, Ryan also encouraged the expeditionary army, saying that there is a lot of wealth in the steel rock that can be plundered. There is also a huge lava lake under the green fortress, which is rich in obsidian. This precious stone is very valuable, and everything is waiting. Expedition.

Inspired by Ryan, as the winter passed, in April, the expedition reached the hardwood forest less than 20 kilometers away from the steel rock. After a small encounter, the army successfully drove out the forest. A small number of goblins and greenskins camped in the forest.

And the opponent of the expeditionary army, the owner of Iron Claw, is one of the greatest greenskin warlords, the tribe that Gorbad-Iron Claw once led, the Iron Claw Tribe.

Thousands of green-skinned boys, green-skinned gangsters, and green-skinned war pigs are waiting for this group of bearded enemies and canned shrimps to come and die!
