Blood Dragon

Chapter 360 After the Second War

Marvin looked at the dark night sky.Last night, he was gnashing his teeth and planning to skin Ashuruffat, but now he only thinks that he can survive.

But can he survive?

Go back to White Castle...but he knew that it was impossible for him to hold White Castle.He had to... and he could only... find a way to find another ally for himself.Before the wrath of Tzeentch's thunder arrives, bring everything back under control...

Then Marvin heard a voice.No, it wasn't actually what he "heard", but the voice sounded directly in his head.

"You have failed, Apostle!" The voice was dark, cold, heartless and cruel.

"They reject the chaotic truth," Marvin said calmly, trying to shirk part of the responsibility. "Master, the believers here are not strong enough..."

"It is a weak Shepherd rebuking his flock, Apostle," said the voice. "Failure is your responsibility, and only you."

"No...no..." Marvin thought of those legends, those unfortunate souls who fell into Tzeentch's maze.He couldn't help shouting. "I don't want to be trapped in those mazes!"

"Don't be afraid, apostle." There was obvious malice in that voice. "Those places are for those who can redeem themselves."

"No! Master!" Marvin yelled in a begging tone, begging bitterly while trembling all over his body. "Please, please. Master! Don't, don't do this! Please give me another chance! I will definitely complete your plan this time! I swear! I..."

At this time, the magic disk under Marvin's feet suddenly moved, and its edge split, transforming into a creature's mouth, and every sharp tooth in the mouth was longer than a human finger.The monster shook violently, threw Marvin off its back, and then swallowed the trembling Chaos Wizard into its mouth in one gulp.

The monster directly smashed what Marvin was chewing in his mouth with its terrifying huge teeth and powerful chewing, and the noisy and messy noises when the bones broke were endless.

The Chaos Wizard didn't even have time to let out a final scream.

……

Prime Minister Alyn was sitting in his office, dealing with *.With a pen in his hand, he scribbled and wrote some comments on a document.

Two guests with obvious military temperament sat on chairs in the office, calmly waiting for the Prime Minister to finish handling the trivial matters at hand.Two people hold two documents in their hands.But because they have read it enough times just now, the two of them no longer read it.

The prime minister finally put down his pen.He sat up straight and looked at the two guests.

"Gentlemen, what do you think...these two reports are going on?" Alyn asked. "There are two versions of a victory... I also know that because of the error in the communication method, the same thing is often reported by different people many times. But it seems that this is not the case... General Ashuruffat has already Victory, there is no doubt about it. According to the latter document, General Ashuruffat has already arrived at the White Castle."

"It should be a victory." One of them thought for a moment and replied. "My lord Prime Minister, you know, this is a great victory. However, the Chaos Legion cannot be wiped out first by 8 people, and then by 10 people... You know, any general with a brain will not Even a savage would do such a foolish thing."

"Military strength is different from the battlefield." Alyn pointed out.

"But that's ridiculous," one person replied. "Master Prime Minister, you should understand..." He found that his words and sentences were not suitable, so he closed his mouth forcefully.

At this time, someone knocked violently on the door, and then a footman rushed in.The footman glanced at the two guests, then ran to the Prime Minister's side and whispered something in his ear.

Even the two guests immediately noticed that Prime Minister Aileen's face changed drastically.That was not the look a calm and experienced old Prime Minister should show.

Anyone can immediately realize that something big has happened.The two guests knew very well what they should do in this situation, so they left quickly after a few polite words.

Everything that follows is rushed.It was not long before a party of messengers, footmen, or valets, was seen running from the Prime Minister's office into the streets of Falcon City.Later in the day, Prime Minister Ellynn held an urgent meeting in the small conference room of the palace.

It had been a long time since such an urgent meeting had been held in Falcon City.Almost all ministers were present, even sick ones.After the last time they knew that Ashurfat had won a big victory, many people even felt that this kind of emergency meeting would not be held again in the foreseeable future.

The attendees quickly discovered someone who shouldn't be there—or to be more specific, someone who shouldn't be in Falcon City.

It was an old man with barren body, scorched complexion, deep-set eyes, and wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He was dressed in pure black clothes, only the neck tie was white.In addition, a classic blue ribbon hangs from the button on his chest.

Everyone knew this man, and this one was none other than Skadra, Grand Master of the Court.At this moment, the old man's expression was more rigid and serious than ever before. Everyone who knew him knew that something very important must have happened.Otherwise, the chief executive should be by the Queen's side.

Prime Minister Eileen quickly completed the greetings before the meeting in the fastest and simplest way.This meeting requires no such red tape.

"Next, the chief supervisor of the palace, Mr. Skadra, will explain to everyone." Ai Linen said.

"Let me first tell you some good news," said Scadella, with the most formal expression. "Count Ashruft has won a complete victory. He has taken back the White Castle, and all the invading Chaos legions have been wiped out."

Although everyone has known for a long time that Ashrufat has a great possibility of retaking White Castle this time (because he wiped out the Chaos Legion instead of defeating the enemy), this news still had a great impact.For several minutes, there was a lot of discussion.

"Then there is the second news." After everyone's evaluation, Scaldela continued. "You may have heard the rumors that the city of Neustria was attacked before... This is not a rumor, it is true. Of course, Her Majesty is safe and sound under the protection of her loyal guards. It is a pity that the guards suffered heavy losses."

After he finished speaking, he watched everyone's reactions.This is also good news-the death or injury of the guards is never an important matter, as long as the queen is safe, then everything is a small matter.

However, I don't know why, everyone has an intuition.When Scaldela said that, it didn't sound like he was delivering good news.So this is obviously a good thing, but everyone feels the weirdness of the atmosphere.

Moreover, everyone has an instinctive question: if Ashrufat won the victory and regained the lost ground, and Her Majesty the Queen is safe and sound...then why did Skadra return to Falcon City?Also, both are great news, what's the matter with his expression?Has the Grand Master of the Court lost the ability to express his joy?

Their question was answered at once, for after a few minutes of silence, Scaddra delivered his third message.

"One last piece of news. In the White Castle, we found the previous crown prince, the elder brother of Her Majesty the Queen, Prince Boer."

It is hard to overstate the shock that the announcement caused in the crowd.Because in the next few minutes, all the ministers and nobles were completely silent, and no one even coughed.

"The priests of the church confirmed that Prince Boer was only imprisoned by Chaos, and he was not polluted by the power of evil gods."

Skadra closed his mouth and nodded towards Alyn, indicating that he had finished what he had to say.

Eileen cleared his throat. As Prime Minister, he must stand up in this situation.

"Now, the royal family...has two people worthy of allegiance." Alyn looked around at all the people. "One king, one queen."

He turned again to face Skardra. "Your Excellency, what is Her Majesty the Queen doing now?" he asked.

"It's on the side of Gaohua City." Skadra replied. "Her Majesty the Queen insisted that she should go and see for herself when she heard about the recapture of White Castle. But she had a minor illness in Gaohua City, and she should be recuperating now," he said. "General Ashrufat and General Barranca are sweeping away the chaotic forces that have fled outside White Castle...General Essien and General Parry are hunting for the remnants of chaos in the northeast, especially near the city of Nustria...Baylor General Earle is at White Castle...according to estimates, this situation will last for a month, maybe a little longer."

He finished speaking calmly.Now everyone realizes one thing: this is a choice.

If Her Majesty the Queen had already arrived at White Castle, or if Belleel was not stationed in the city, then Prince Boer would never have any chance.Because whether it is Ashrufat, Barranca or Essien, they were all single-handedly drawn out by the Queen.What choices they will make is beyond doubt.

But in this case...

Of course, in terms of military deployment, Ashurfat was actually right.Beryl would definitely not do his best in this kind of battle to wipe out the remnants of the enemy-his army is actually only an allied army (or mercenary), and he doesn't care about the endgame here.That being the case, then let him stay in the White Castle.White Castle really needs people to guard it.

Those three people obviously haven't realized this terrible secret yet.As for the situation of Her Majesty the Queen herself... Her guards suffered heavy casualties, and she fell ill again... So she probably doesn't know about it now.

The appearance of Skadra here shows the choice he made.

Now, the right to choose is really placed on everyone who participated in this meeting.
