The Lion King of Middenland, Warhammer

Chapter 183 Black Swan and Cheetah

The carriage moved forward slowly, and the copper-clad wheels creaked on the old bluestone road.The driving horse was a tall red horse with a gorgeous and old saddle, but it was very thin, probably because it was not full.The old coachman was also very considerate of it, and let it pace slowly, never waving the whip in his hand.

After six months of siege, the number of horses capable of driving carts in the city was few, if any, nonexistent.And this horse is not an ordinary pack horse, its gold and red saddle and bridle have already explained its identity as a war horse.The war horse that used to gallop on the battlefield is now slowly driving the carriage forward, scanning the surroundings from time to time, snorting loudly once or twice, as if recalling the gallop on the battlefield back then.

"Now it's reduced to the situation where Blazing Flames are driving the chariots. It's really funny to you. But you also know that all the remaining pack horses and most of the war horses in the city have already been slaughtered under orders. Blazing Flame is the residence of the Duke. The last horse in my life is also the mount left by the Duke, I hope I can keep it no matter what, because it carries the happy memories of me and the Duke.”

Sophia glanced at the slow-moving war horse, then lowered her head slightly to explain to the elderly monk in front of her. Her voice was slightly sad, and her long eyelashes drooped.

"Duke Kalinin is the bravest sword of His Majesty White Tsar Boris. He lived with glory and died with glory! In the Ugolan Valley, he guarded His Majesty and fought to the last breath. A bloody path was cut in the formation, until the throne of the Witch of Slaanesh... His Royal Highness's war horse is naturally a symbol of Kislev's glory, no one will touch it, even His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. You promise."

The old monk in blue plate and gold armor clasped his palms together and prayed, his voice became heavy, as if he recalled many things.

"Ah! Ten years, it should be a good day, shouldn't it, Master Dahleen?"

The lady with long blond hair gently smoothed the bangs that fell to her eyebrows, then raised her beautiful head, complex emotions swirled in her dark blue eyes.The two handsome maids also lowered their heads lightly, like birds nestling beside a swan.

"Yes, Sophia, this is the day when you came to Kislivgrad, and it is also the day when you and His Highness the Duke held their wedding ceremony. The weather on that day was also as good as this. Her Royal Highness Princess Katerina represented Bai Her Majesty the Tsar attended the ceremony. Speaking of which, she was still a little girl at that time... Her Majesty the Eldest Princess has changed a lot, but you are the same as you were ten years ago. I think, today's Eldest Princess should also appear in the Duke's mansion, to bring you and the Duke His Majesty's blessing from His Majesty the White Tsar." [

"But everything has passed, ten years and nine months, ten years and six months. It all seems like a dream sometimes, an indescribable dream! Nine months ago Kalinin went to war, and in His Majesty the Tsar I led the Wind Wings to the battle behind the banner of the army, and I sent him through the red wall of the Gremlin Palace, and out of the bronze gate of Kislevgrad... I watched him and Kisly Husband's army disappeared at the end of the field, but I never saw him returning with the Windwings... Ah! I finally saw him six months ago, but in that way!"

Deep pain made the lady's voice staccato, and she could not continue, tears dripping from her shining blue eyes.Her slender fingers were entangled chaotically, as if showing her painful heart.

Sophia's husband, Duke Kalinin, is the cavalry director of the Kislev Imperial Army and the head of the famous Griffin Legion. During the battle of Ugolan seven months ago, he fought with White Tsar Boris and more than 5 soldiers. Several Kislev elites were buried in the ambush circle with the army of Slaanesh.The still-roaring head of Duke Kalinin adorned the Chaos purple banner, the way Chaos always treats its defeated warriors.

So when the flag of Slaanesh appeared outside the city of Kislevgrad, how many expecting husbands and sons were broken on the tall city.They were shocked to see that their familiar relatives had become the heads on the banner of the Chaos Army. Although the news of the defeat of the entire army had spread to the ice and snow capital of the Northern Kingdom long ago, the tragedy they witnessed was indescribable in any words .Sophia was by Princess Katerina's side at the time, and it was the princess's strength that infected her and kept her from falling down.

"Holy Sigma shall guard the soul of His Highness the Duke, and the Holy Trinity of Kislev shall be with the Son of the Great War Bear! We shall surely defeat the ugly creatures of Chaos, and Holy Sigma shall lead us to fight with lead and sword against the evil god Beloved revenge!"

Cheetah Great Cultivator Daleen solemnly recited a long prayer, twirling the rose-colored rosary beads and the Sigma Cross on his blue armor.A faint brilliance emanated from his blue armor, giving the bald old man a holy aura.The light is gentle, echoing in the small compartment, it seems to have the effect of invigorating people's spirits.

"Thank you for your prayer, Master Daleen. Although His Royal Highness is not a believer of Saint Sigma, I believe he will hear it, because Sigma, the supreme god of the empire, and Yurik, the god of war, will always be Keith. The ally of Rif Holy Trinity Friendship, as it has been for 1000 years."

Sophia gently lowered her head to pay tribute to the elderly monk in front of her.The brief sorrow in the memory has eased, and the beautiful lady in black regained her tenderness.

"Yes, whether it is the imperial court or Middenland, the sword of the empire will always point to chaos together with Kislev. That's why the princess of Middenland traveled thousands of miles to come to this ice and snow country, so the monastery castle of Holy Sigmar Only then will it stand in the city of Kislivgrad, and the Cheetah Knights will be loyal to His Majesty the Tsar as they are to the empire, and the ancient covenant is eternal."

The bald old monk held the hilt of the dagger at his waist, his face became solemn, and his heavy voice was like a long poem.

"Sophia is not the princess of Middenland. Sophia is just an illegitimate daughter. Sophia's mother has no noble status. Although Sophia's father is the wolf lord of Middenland, Sophia is not Not marrying a duke as a princess."

The young woman with long blond hair answered the old monk gently with a gentle tone, her eyes flashed with a special light, which was light with a touch of sadness.

"But His Royal Highness Princess Valkyrie regards Sophia as her daughter, after the five-year-old girl lost her dear mother. I believe Sophia will not forget His Royal Highness Anna's broad love, so naturally the princess' daughter It's a princess."

The bald-headed old monk responded without hesitation, and his voice was full of affection, just like a grandfather's affection for his granddaughter.When "His Royal Highness Anna" was mentioned, his gray eyebrows twitched violently, as if he had touched something deep in his heart.

"Yes, the five years I spent with Anna's mother were happy. I remember Anna's kiss, and I remember the warmth of Anna's embrace... Although His Royal Highness Felix sometimes bullies me, Anna's mother stands by me. On this side, although I am weak, I will never learn the skills of fighting, and I can't even hold the lightest sword..."[

Sophia's voice became very low, and pearly tears swirled in her beautiful eyes. She became a little excited and couldn't restrain her emotions.

"Ah! But I lost Mama Anna! Why do people who love me always pass away so quickly? First my mother, then Mama Anna, then my dear little Sasha, and then my Kalinin! Each of them died due to the claws of the enemy, am I such an unlucky person? Just like the prophecy, the black swan is that..."

"There are no prophecies. The holy Sigma does not believe in prophecies. People who play tricks with crystal balls are liars and gangsters. Strictly speaking, they are worthless. Sophia, you are still young, you must live strong You have to show your smiling face! You will get happiness, please believe what Darren said, because Darren is your mother's godfather, and he is a brother who once fought side by side with your grandfather and formed an alliance to live and die!"

The old big monk Cheetah suddenly interrupted Sophia's words, his loud and eager voice almost knocked off the roof of the car.Due to excitement, the bald monastery knight mentor pressed Sofia's shoulders, causing the two maids beside her to stand up at the same time.

"Respected Master Daleen of the Saint Cheetah Monastery, I would like to thank you on behalf of our noble master, Mrs. Sophia. We understand that you are Mrs. Sophia's elder, and we also understand your concern for Mrs. Sophia, but... ...you seem to have hurt her..."

A short-haired maid gently bent her knees to greet the bald-headed cheetah monk. The girl's voice was gentle and euphemistic, but her eyes shone with inviolable light.Her jade hand with a copper bracelet gently supported Daleen's armored wrist, and lifted the old monk's giant hand from Sophia's shoulder.This slender maid who is only sixteen or seventeen years old is by no means an ordinary girl, her beautiful body hides amazing power.

"I'm sorry, Sophia! I was so abrupt, and I condemn myself! It's a good thing you have such a loyal guard!"

Daleen sat down again with self-blame, and he also noticed Sophia's frown, realizing that he had made a stupid mistake.This beautiful lady in a black tight-fitting coat is a very weak person, and her shoulders can't stand the strength of the mighty knight's iron fist at all.

"It's okay, Master Daleen, I understand your concern for me. You are like my grandfather, I will follow your teachings and not think about it. In addition, please don't be angry with Liu Xia, because she is left by the Duke. My person, although a little impatient, is as cute as my sister."

Sophia tidied her red scarf lightly, and bowed her knees to the cheetah monk who was full of self-blame in front of her.The girl in black dress named Liu Xia was tightly attached to her side like a beautiful shield.

"Respected Master Daleen, most of the vassals and servants of the Duke's Mansion followed His Royal Highness and died. The remaining male servants and guards have all joined the city guard under the order of the madam. Liuxia and Isa are Madam's last guardian, we will use our lives to defend the benevolent Madam."

After Sophia finished speaking, the two slender maids took a step forward at the same time, bowed their knees and clenched their fists to greet the blue-armored cheetah monk, strong fighting spirit and power emanating from their black leather skirts with white lace trim, Stirring their brown and blue hair, they brought a heroic air to their beautiful cheeks.It can be seen that they all wear exquisite short swords under their white aprons, and the fluctuations of magic weapons and dwarven Seiko runes complement each other on the hilts.

"Very well, the two of you have almost the strength of ordinary middle-level knights in the empire. If you wear rune armor, you should be even stronger. With your protection, I believe Sophia will be safe. Now, let's get down to business, and I should explain My purpose is here."

The old big monk Cheetah nodded gratifiedly to the two girls, his old face was filled with a layer of satisfaction.After a slight pause, he cleared his throat and made a shocking sound, which was a sound that shook people's hearts.
