Blood Dragon

Chapter 190 The Third Siege

"Hmm... dead?"

On the magic disk suspended in the air, the wizard lord of Tzeentch said in a soliloquy voice.On the surface, he appears to be just a Chaos Sorcerer, but in reality he is far from that.Marvin is a person who accepts the grace of God or the favor of God - the favor of the Chaos Gods is the lifelong pursuit of many believers.It was as if a radiant avenue opened beneath his feet, and he had nothing to think about but just walk along it.

Marvin himself knew that if he could complete the task assigned by God this time, then he would receive a reward that no one could imagine.It might even be a chance to ascend a demon—a precious gift that grants immortality to mortals.Thinking of such a bright future, even his spine would tremble.

Of course, right now he is still far away from this rich ultimate reward.But thanks to Tzeentch's favor, he can now effortlessly summon rock and earth to unleash twisted and deadly eruptions.As long as he is willing, he can hover over his head with the fiery wings of the Falcon of Change, letting everyone know his true identity, even Lord Bloodfang will be envious of him.

However, Tzeentch has never been a god who likes to show off.Marvin isn't a vanity-desperate idiot (like those Slaanesh-worshiping fools), or he wouldn't be where he is today.What he wants to do is to quietly and quietly control everything behind his back, like a chess player, move the pieces to the appropriate position to play a role.

The lunatics of Khorne saw this war as a normal raid - just like all the boring raids of the past, a feast of killing, looting and looting.They didn't think about anything more than blood and killing.The idiots in Slaanesh saw this war as a fun adventure, wanting a good fight to keep them motivated, and of course the chance to play with captives.Although the disgusting group of Nurgle also regarded this war as an opportunity to honor the father of the plague, they just wanted to study an effective way to use the plague through the war.Only Marvin knew that the significance of this war was far greater than expected.

To the Chaos Gods, this was a new territory, like a wonderful pasture, full of white lambs.The other three gods were all distracted by other chores, and only Tzeentch noticed.He left the countless disputes on the wasteland, turned his attention to this new pasture, and opened up a new territory that was not touched by other evil gods... When the other evil gods woke up, Tzeentch The believers have grasped an unbreakable advantage.This can even immediately break the balance among the four evil gods...as long as Marvin can handle all of this well.

Cleverly borrowing the power of other evil gods, but the biggest fruit must be picked by Tzeentch.This is Tzeentch, or Marvin's plan.

"Master?" Under the magic disk, Tzeentch's warriors noticed the movement of the wizard lord.

"It's okay, let's continue walking." Marvin used his mind to control the magic disk to lower the flying height, so that he could blend in with the walking soldiers.Flying high is great, with a wide field of vision and the thrill of looking down on everything, but it also means that you will be the first target of lurkers.The battlefield is close, and God knows what troubles will come.Bullets, crossbows, and magic will all be aimed at the ostentatious wizard Tzeentch immediately.

The sound of gunfire could already be heard ahead.The lunatics of Khorne should still be attacking the city... In Marvin's opinion, attacking the castles protected by solid stone walls is really stupid, but the lunatics of Khorne like to do such stupid things.

A scout hurried over. "Your Majesty Marvin," he said the wrong thing. It is inappropriate to use "Your Excellency" to address a wizard lord. The correct way is to call him "Master" or "My Lord".Only those Chaos Lords of the same level can respect each other as Your Excellency.But Marvin nodded and let this little mistake go lightly.Right now he has to keep a low profile, low profile, no matter how low profile he is, he must not give anyone a chance to see through his true purpose.

If the mission failed this time - Marvin didn't dare to imagine what kind of anger Tzeentch would have.

"Lord Bloodfang orders you to lead the troops to join the siege troops immediately," said the scout.

Marvin nodded again.His troops were small in number, more of an embellishment than an army.At least on the surface.Lord Bloodfang despises his troops.What they really need is magical support... Before joining the battlefield, Marvin already knew that the siege battle was hard work.Cannons and muskets are fine, but magic is also suppressed by these weak southerners.

Although it is said that Khorne discriminates against magicians extremely and thinks that magicians are too weak, this does not prevent Lord Bloodfang from seeking Marvin's help.After all, this time the commander-in-chief of the Chaos coalition forces-the apparent commander-is Lord Bloodfang.It is only natural for a general to give orders to his subordinates.

"Go," he ordered to one of his men. "Get all the wizards on our side! I'll be waiting for them on the battlefield! Remember, it's all of them!"

The subordinates took orders and Marvin led his subordinates to move on.It was not long before they were on the fringes of the field, that is, out of range of the artillery.The battle is now reaching a short gap, a new wave of offensive is brewing, but there are still remnants of the previous wave of offensive on the edge of the city wall.A group of Nurgle's warriors took the walls, but are now surrounded by the enemy for lack of backup.If it weren't for the fear of those plagues and corrupt methods of Nurgle, perhaps they would have been wiped out long ago.Of course, now this result is only slightly delayed.

Relying on the situation on the battlefield, remaining bones, and various battle traces.Marvin soon had a reason why the castle hadn't been taken yet.The first is that the castle itself is really strong, and the second is that the cooperation of the attacking party is really poor.After all, this is a mixed army of followers of the four evil gods. Many of them still hate each other, thinking that the other party is an opponent fighting for power and a stumbling block on the road to winning the favor of the gods. It is more suitable to die and rot than to be a partner. .Even if they were temporarily united in order to attack the country of the southerners at this moment, and agreed to temporarily put their feud aside, the cooperation between them was too disorderly.

On the city wall, the helpless warriors of Nurgle ushered in the final doomsday.A rain of bullets knocked them down one by one.Although Nurgle's blessing gave them superhuman tenacity, bullets ultimately outnumbered life force.Several armored bodies were knocked off the wall by the impact of the bullets, and fell to the solid ground.

The body of Nurgle's follower exploded, and the green liquid splashed everywhere, like a small green flower blooming.This kind of scene always makes Marvin feel pleasing to the eye.

After a short while, Marvin's subordinates gathered around him.There were nine wizards—each standing on a disk—and twelve apprentices.Unlike the troublesome means of studying and taking exams of the southerners, among the followers of Tzeentch, the learning, selection and promotion of magicians are very simple.All these are chosen by Tzeentch himself.The one who got the magic disk must be a qualified chaos wizard, and the one who can wear the mage's robe must be a potential magic apprentice.There will never be any problems such as filling in numbers or leaking exam questions.

Marvin's eyes swept over his subordinates, all of them stood with their heads bowed, submitting to his authority and strength.Maybe they have the ambition to kill Marvin and replace him, but unless Marvin himself loses his favor, they will never do it.

At this time, a messenger brought the order of Lord Bloodfang.Ask Marvin to use magic to attack first, and then use magic to cover the main force of the attack when launching the offensive.

"Sorry, I'm still working hard to mobilize troops and magicians in the rear." Marvin told the orderly with a pleasant face. "Now that we only have such little combat power, we can't complete these two tasks at the same time. Either we use magic to attack first, or we use magic to cover when launching the offensive... Only one of the two tasks can be completed."

If the Bloodfang Lord is to blame, then he can blame himself for being so impatient and attacking so early.You must know that this attack was more than half a year earlier than the original schedule. Marvin said that he was not prepared enough and his troops had not yet assembled, which was completely justified.

As for why he was so slow in gathering troops... Hey, he came according to the plan, what's the use of coming early?It didn't matter to Marvin that the lunatics of Khorne had assembled so early.

A short while later, Lord Bloodfang's new order came. Marvin and his wizard troops were to provide magical cover for the attacking troops while suppressing the enemy's magical counterattack.

……

The cannons at the top of the city began to roar.The terrifying cannonballs danced among the crowd with a force that flesh and blood could not resist, causing terrible damage.Even the chaotic heavy armor is like paper in front of the shells.A shell blasted through the attacking crowd, killing at least twenty Chaos warriors.

But in the face of this wave of attacks, the shells seemed insignificant.The blood plowed in the crowd was immediately covered by the flow of people behind, and it seemed that the entire attacking lineup was not damaged at all.

The attacking force quickly approached the city wall.At this moment, two siege towers and a dozen ladders were leaning against the city wall.Although the defenders of the southerners tried their best to destroy these siege machines, they were all blessed by magic, and they couldn't be destroyed in a hurry.At this moment, the siege tower was doused with oil, and it looked like a blazing fire, but it was the oil itself that burned, and the siege tower was not damaged at all.

Chaos forces approach.There was a burst of neat gunfire from the top of the city, and thick gunpowder smoke rose along the city wall.But nothing seemed to be able to stop Chaos' attack.Khorne's warriors led the way, closing in on the walls and beginning their ascent up the ladders and siege towers.Unlike the previous attack, the magicians in the city seemed to be dumb this time, and no magic was released during the whole process.Only those who are truly proficient in magic can feel the entanglement and confusion in the wind of magic—the magicians on both sides of the war are doing their best to counter the opponent's magic, and as a result, even a single magic cannot be released correctly.

If someone stood on Marvin's side, he would definitely find a strange thing.Because all the Tzeentch wizards looked very relaxed, and Marvin didn't even show any signs of casting magic, but was smiling and watching the battle at the top of the city in the distance.The lunatics of Khorne have already rushed to the top of the city along the burning siege towers.With his highly sharpened vision, Marvin saw the details of the battle.

Swords and arrows are flying, life is harvested in an instant, and the endless blood gushing out reflects the smiles of the gods.The top of the city, especially the location where the siege tower was located, has been once again filled with death.The battle song of steel intertwined with the wail of the dying.Even Marvin, who didn't particularly like blood, couldn't help smiling.

The berserkers of Khorne have shown their worth in such battles.They met the siege without fear.The berserkers had devil-like laughs on their faces, and they launched a fierce attack without caring about their own safety. Some guards were even bitten to death by these lunatics.In the end, the resistance at the top of the city was shattered, and more and more Chaos warriors rushed to the top of the city...

"Don't let me down..." Tzeentch's emissary, the wizard lord Marvin, whispered to himself with a malicious smile in a safe place below the city.
