Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

"In the Holy Grail Church of Montforgue Havre, we were attacked by a Holy Grail guard. Then the Phoenix King came to the rescue. He had a brief exchange with us afterwards. The details are as follows..."

Victor straightened his body and meticulously recounted the scene to the emperor behind the long table. Although he thought that Loner had handed over what he knew to Altdorf, the emperor still asked the witch hunter to see him.

"The Phoenix King left a piece of silver for his horse armor to Marcus Krupal, and declared that Krupol had become his stablehand, and then left towards the east, possibly heading to Athel Loren... That's it What happened to the team I led in Bretonnia, Your Majesty Franz."

Karl, who was listening to Victor's report attentively, nodded seriously: "Salzpire, the Phoenix King has revealed Altdorf's top secret matters to you. You are a devout Sigma believer and the sword of justice that protects the empire. I shouldn’t have asked Lonar to arrange for you to go to Bretonnia, but I need to find out what the Phoenix King’s arrangements are for at the Red Moon Tavern.”

"This is your sacred duty, to protect the empire in the name of Sigma." Victor's eyes were firm. He had seen Karl take the lead and personally visited the wounded and sick soldiers after the war. He had also seen the emperor struggling to deal with several parties at the summit. As the leader, late at night he was still thinking of ways to improve the deployment points of the Reik Guards Fortress and strengthen the weak points of the empire's defense force.

He is a sword, a sword wielded only for the Empire and Sigmar.

After hearing this, Karl saw Victor's determined single eye and pushed the chair away with determination, stood up, walked around the long table and walked to the witch hunter.

"Salzpire, the empire needs countless wise warriors like you. There is no doubt that the Phoenix King is our reliable ally. You only need to do your best to complete the tasks he assigned. The rest is left to me, the sworn protector. The Emperor of the Empire.”

A big hand stretched out to Victor, and Victor also stretched out his hand, his eyes becoming more determined: "In the name of Sigma, I will never let you down!"

After a while, Victor left alone, leaving only Karl Franz. He no longer looked as determined as when he was talking to the witch hunter. His hands were intertwined on the long table, as if he was thinking about something.

"Horseher...it's unbelievable that the Phoenix King is actually willing to include humans as his family's attendants."

"Perhaps we can also give Marcus Krupper a knighthood. Perhaps one day these young people will become heroes who inspire the sons of the empire. They need to invest early to avoid being pulled away by the elves."

Kurt responded to the emperor's inquiry naturally. After learning about the elves' traditions, he also understood what the Phoenix King's stable boy's job was.

It is no exaggeration to say that except for the heirs of the Caledor Noble Council who are not interested in this position, the rest of the nobles are thinking of serving the Phoenix King's mount.

After receiving the marshal's approval, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief: "You can arrange it, but don't be too exaggerated."

…………

On the third day, Marcus, who was still drunk early in the morning, was suddenly surrounded by a group of Rick's Guards men in the hotel room, and was forced to the Guards Fortress in an extremely difficult manner. In this state, I obtained a brand new set of full-body plate armor...

When he woke up on the fourth day, he looked at the messy suburban campsite. He patted Badin's big belly in a daze and asked: "Damn it, I seem to have become a knight, and old Krupper has become a nobleman, haha. ”

Badin, who was lying on the ground, was stroking his belly and responded with blurred eyes:

"Yeah, brute...but that half-breed horse tastes really good. You go find another one, and this time use the stir-fried method, eh."

Half-breed horse, half-breed horse...

Marcus suddenly jumped up from the ground. He got a brand new plate armor yesterday, took the reins of the hybrid war horse from the Imperial Marshal with his own hands, and loudly declared the knight's commandments, to love the horse as much as he loves himself.

And because he was promoted from a civilian, the marshal took special care of his poor background... The knights paid the elves for the use of the horses.

"We ate that horse?!"

"Marcus, what nonsense are you talking about? Didn't you say you were treating us yesterday? We have been persuading that this is a symbol of knighthood, but you plunged your sword into the horse's throat and insisted on letting Badin show off his cooking skills." Sienna Holding up a huge leg bone, Marcus, who had extensive experience in wild life, knew that it was the tibia of a horse.

"Will Marshal Kurt kill me?" Marcus wanted to run away. He had heard about the price of a hybrid war horse, and he couldn't afford to sell it to him ten times... It didn't seem right. The stolen goods had just been sold and there was still some money left. , that’s okay.

"Marshal Kurt won't kill you, but you don't want to stay in Altdorf either... The Rick Guards regard their mounts as their lives, and let the knights on duty in the palace hear the newly-consecrated knight eating their mounts. Now, do you think there are still a few more days of peace?”

Victor was extremely calm and stood up slowly from a cornerstone. He was also a horse-eater. He had never tried a mixed-breed horse in his life. Anyway, Krupol didn't know how to ride. It would be a waste to hold it. He might as well treat it as a horse. Reward yourself with a feast before departure.

"Then let's..." Krupol rolled his eyes. He was still staying in Altdorf to enjoy the life of a master for a few days. Unexpectedly, he ate the knight's symbol when he changed hands. He must not be able to stay any longer.

“The ferry ticket is available at noon, so it’s a good time to leave now.”

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go immediately!"

Marcus, who was initially somewhat resistant to going to Tilea, burst out with great enthusiasm after getting into trouble. He grabbed the ticket held up by Victor and walked quickly towards the Altdorf gate.

But before that, he still had some things to deal with.

An elf with a guard was staying near the city gate, looking around, as if looking for something.

The soldiers who knew the identity of the elf also burst out with amazing power and kept searching in the crowd.

This confused Marcus. Why did the pointed ears move more and more frequently? He just wanted to squeeze through, but maybe the new helmet he got was more eye-catching, and the elf saw it.

Rachel hurriedly grabbed the knight who was walking fast, "Are you Marcus Kruber?"

Thinking that he was found eating a horse, Marcus immediately shook his head and denied it: "Ah, ah, who is Marcus, I don't have any, what mixed-blood horse, I have never seen it."

"What a mess, are you Kruber, the horseman that His Majesty just accepted?"

"No, I didn't eat a mixed-blood horse, la la la la."

Kruber, whose eyes kept wandering, was grabbed by the ambassador's guard and forcibly dragged to an area with fewer people.

In less than 24 hours, Marcus experienced the pleasure of having sex with two men. (End of this chapter)
