The Lion King of Middenland, Warhammer

"Such a huge ship can actually travel on land. If you don't see it with your own eyes, you really can't believe it."

Standing under the side of Marshal Yang's three-deck land flagship "Princess Ulysses", Hyde couldn't help sighing a little.Contrary to imagination, Marshal Yang's office is not in a tent, but on this 130-foot-long land battleship, which looks very spectacular.

"It's nothing. The crown prince's flagship, the Santa Trinidad, is twice the size of this ship. Of course, there are more restrictions, because land-based warships can only operate on open plains near rivers. .Speaking of which, if the Thirteenth Legion hadn't been fighting across the Sea of ​​Claws for several years, we wouldn't have her either."

Evra answered Hyde with a smile, and explained the scope of application of land battleships by the way.Obviously, no one would take such a heavy water guzzler to the rugged mountains or deserts of the South, not even with the help of magic.

"Well, I understand that. By the way, this boat looks very old. Can you tell me her history?"

Hyde stared at the huge battleship like a hill. Her dark sides were covered with traces of countless battles, full of repair marks, showing her glorious history of many battles.Every repair site is decorated with golden oak leaves and St. Sigma's cross, as if full of solemn medals.In fact, there were fresh paw prints on her four gigantic steel-wrapped wheels, which were more than ten feet high, and the huge force caused the half-inch-thick iron wheel covers to be penetrated. One can imagine the scene of the fierce battle back then. .

"Our Princess Ulysses is a veteran. She was built 80 years ago to commemorate the beloved daughter of the emperor who died young. In the past 80 years, she has participated in many tragic naval and land battles. Replacement I have passed many marshals and generals, encountered countless dangers and difficulties, but still survived firmly until she came to our No.13 Legion. In fact, before that, some people said that she was the product of misfortune and disaster, But she became the lucky one of our Thirteenth Legion."

Evra straightened her long platinum hair with some emotion, and she looked at this majestic and vicissitudes of life with a very gentle look, as if she was looking at her beloved item.

"Is it because her crew suffered heavy casualties in the battle?"[

"It should be said that this is not true. In the 75 years before she came to the XIII Army, our Princess Ulysses participated in 31 battles. She sank and burned [-] times in the offshore and on the river. A warship of dark elves, chaos, and greenskins. She has slain thousands of enemies on land, including dozens of ferocious trolls. But in these battles, her crew has lost less than Hundreds, on average, only three people will be lost in each battle."

"In this way, she should be a lucky battleship, but why is there a title of misfortune and disaster?"

Hyde looked at Evra, who had already boarded the gangway, a little puzzled. He felt that the voice of the beautiful elf officer became a little strange.

"The history of the Ulysses is too long. If we describe her history one by one, then we may delay your meeting with His Excellency Marshal Yang. Therefore, I think it is better for us to put this question aside, because His Excellency Yang is waiting for your arrival."

The elf girl with long platinum hair waved her hand lightly, bringing this short conversation to an end.For some reason, Evra, who was always cheerful, suddenly became a little heavy at this moment, and Hyde could feel the faint melancholy in her voice.

"Yes, your opinion is right, I almost missed the big thing."

After a short salute, Hyde followed Evra up the gangway, but there was a trace of doubt in his heart, a strange doubt.The sentries on duty on the deck raised their pistols and scimitars to salute the two, but he almost forgot to return the salute, and only realized it after a few seconds.

"Is she hiding something from me? What does she need to hide?"

Hyde asked himself silently in his heart, and his perception field stretched unconsciously.But quickly, the huge reflection force suddenly overwhelmed the fluctuations he perceived, as if the astonishing tide shook his soul, making him take two steps back involuntarily.At that moment, he seemed to see a huge and slightly sad heart, which filled the entire battleship.

"By the way, I forgot to tell Your Highness that all our land battleships have souls, and she will reject strangers' perception domains. Your Highness Hyde, you should be more careful!"

Evra glanced at Hyde who was a little nervous, and suddenly covered her mouth and laughed, which made Hyde a little embarrassed.He didn't expect that his perception field would receive such a strong response, the power hidden in this battleship was like a great mage or champion.Ulysses is by no means just an ordinary ship, she is more like a solemn and melancholy warrior after many battles.

In fact, all land battleships in the empire were built with the cooperation of metal, blazing, and natural magicians.The steam machine soul of the battleship is a mysterious existence, and it must be completed by the cooperation of the magic masters of the three legal systems.Metal instructors are in charge of steel, flame instructors are in charge of flames, and nature mages are in charge of the hull. When the three magics are perfectly integrated, the steam machine soul is born.But if you want this machine soul to be able to fight stably, you still need Holy Sigma or White Wolf Urik, the high priest of Sea God Manann to add the seal of the Holy Seal to the steel heart of the battleship.A land battleship can often fight under the banner of the army for 100 years, and their huge bodies are engraved with the glorious history of the empire.

Walking past the teak deck inlaid with copper strips, and the oak bulwarks carved with eagle emblems and griffins, the short distance suddenly seemed to become longer, as if every inch of wood and reliefs on the Ulysses carried on life.After about dozens of steps, Hyde came to the second-floor poop of the battleship, where a small green military flag was hung, and the golden warhammer and flaming sword shimmered with magical gleams on the flag.

"Well, this is the personal cabin of His Majesty the Marshal. Please come in, Your Highness."

Evra held Hyde's hand with a smile, tapped the copper ring of the cabin door lightly, and then jumped behind Hyde like lightning. [

"Aren't you going in with me, Miss Evra?"

Hyde turned his head and looked at the beautiful elf girl. Her actions made Hyde a little unexpected.

"My Werther should have already said that this is a private meeting between Your Excellency Yang and you. So I'll go first!"

Evra winked at Hyde and ran down the gangway.Her movements were as quick as a gust of wind, and she disappeared from the side of the ship in a few steps, leaving only the sweet voice with a bit of cunning echoing in the wind.

"This is really strange..."

Hyde couldn't help talking to himself, this elf girl's weird behavior made him very puzzled, but the doubt quickly disappeared, because a gentle voice had already passed.

"His Royal Highness Princess Anna's son, noble Highness Hyde, please come in. I can feel the power of the goddess of war Mirmidia in your body."

The oak cabin door decorated with golden olive leaf patterns opened by itself as if by magic, but there was still a woolen curtain embroidered with an eagle emblem inside, and the inside could not be seen clearly, only the warm wind was slowly surging.

"Honorable Marshal, the royal guard knight under your command, Hyde von Middenland salutes you!"

After freezing for about two seconds, Hyde slowly opened the heavy curtain.After stepping into this unfamiliar cabin, the first thing he did was to stand at attention and salute a rather standard military salute. In any case, Marshal Yang is the supreme commander of the entire army, the leader of the [-]-strong army. Master, the necessary etiquette must be observed.

"Hello, His Royal Highness Hyde. I am Jan Sobieski Outlanders, the loyal servant and sword of the empire, the attendant of your noble mother back then. Due to the busy military affairs, I was not able to greet you at the first time, I am deeply sorry for this.”

Marshal Yang’s voice was as warm as the temperature of the stove, making it hard to believe how approachable the commander of the [-]-strong army is. It is reflected in orange, giving people a sense of security.Marshal Yang was standing by the stove, extending his hand to Hyde in a friendly manner. He was wearing a dark oblate hat with the golden imperial griffin emblem on one side, a green peacock feather fluttering on the brim of the hat, and the wide open dark brim Inside the fur jacket, a silver breastplate inlaid with dwarven runes was exposed, and a small pendant with a green background and a gold border hung on it.

The interior furnishings of the Great Marshal of the Great Empire are very ordinary. There are several oak armchairs with folded legs, carved with simple olive branch patterns, and two long oak tables of the same workmanship. Half of Zhang was occupied by a high pile of books, and on the remaining half were some parchment paper, a silver ink bottle, and a few white quill pens stuck on it.In addition to these, there were several small bronze statues leaning against the pile of books, one of which Hyde knew was the statue of the goddess of war Mirmidia holding a shield and spear, and the others were not clearly visible.On one side of the wall hung a large map of the entire empire and Kislev, while the other two sides were occupied by bookshelves, and a camp bed covered with bearskin leaned against the bookshelf on the left.

"Where is this... Your Excellency the Marshal..."

Hyde's language suddenly became confused, and Marshal Yang's kindness made him not know what to say.At this moment, he suddenly became nervous, even more nervous than when he was going to the battlefield.

"This is my private space. It's not an official occasion. You don't have to be so nervous. But it's okay, because I remember that when I met your noble mother, I was also very nervous."

The black-haired marshal smiled. He took two steps forward, held Hyde's hand affectionately, and led him to an oak-backed armchair.Hyde could feel the warmth of his palms. In fact, the young divinely favored man suddenly felt their distance getting closer. This may be because Marshal Yang mentioned his mother.

"Sit down, my noble highness, you don't have to be so reserved. You saved my wife's life, and I haven't had time to thank you yet."

The magical magician on the battlefield smiled and motioned for the young knight in front of him to sit down, and stuffed a cup of hot drink into his hand, while he sat down casually on the same chair beside the desk.His every move is approachable, with a kind and warm breath.
