The Lion King of Middenland, Warhammer

() This wall representing the victory and glory of the Middenland wolf lord is solemn and solemn. Under the solemn relief of the seal of the White Wolf Army God Urik, the 36-foot-high and 82-foot-wide rock arch wall is densely packed There are countless strange-shaped helmets and forehead decorations; as well as broken and curly swords, torn military banners and maces; and the giant monster's head, horns and claws full of knife marks and burn marks.They all once belonged to the ferocious enemies of the empire, but now their bodies and souls have been shattered, leaving only relics to prove the great martial arts of the White Wolf Lord.

Glittering magical runes and seals of Ulric the Warlord draped these trophies like victorious banners waving in the Middenland wind.These helmets, forehead ornaments, and head rings are various, including the golden helmets with curved horns of Chaos Warriors, and the withered leather horn headdresses of orc shamans, but most of them belong to the dark elves' pointed golden helmets and headgears densely covered with sharp blades , and the ugly mask of the toothed skeleton, even though it has been a long time, these dark products always exude the unique malice of the dark elves. When you see them, you can imagine what kind of cruel masters owned them back then.

But these creations soaked in the flesh and blood of thousands of slaves and artisans of Naggaroth have lost their luster now, and the terrible knife marks and hammer marks show the fate of these helmets' original owners.Most of the helmets were twisted, shattered, and torn under the tremendous force. The black steel and gold belts were twisted together in a chaotic way, the ornaments were smashed, and the sharp blades broke like scattered dead branches. Wrath burned into their souls, destroying them along with their malevolent masters.

In the middle of the rock buttress, military flags, tokens, and swords are used to form a steel and gold garland, and in the middle are six strange helmets with astonishing splendor and less damage.The exquisite workmanship of these helmets is astonishing. The intertwined gold and silver patterns are like the sharp teeth of a sea snake forming a breathtaking picture on the helmet surface. The twisted blades branch wildly on the side like poisonous spiders, The shattered Philosopher's Stone gleamed reluctantly on the forehead and the crown of the helmet.

Any general or scholar of the empire would be amazed by the astonishing results of the Middenland Wolf Lord, because the owners of these helmets are by no means ordinary soldiers and officers, but high-ranking nobles and temple wizards of Naggaros.The first helmet on the left originally belonged to a black elf pirate high lord, and the second headgear belonged to the second chief witch priest of the city-state blood sacrifice temple. The six headgear and battle helmets are all the pride of the black elf superiors , and now they are the glory of the empire and the shame of the dark elves.

Beneath the wreath was a gigantic and hideous skull, with huge sharp jaws nine feet long, and crooked horns and scales remaining on the cranium.Bronze chains passed through the dry eye sockets to lift the giant, and the flame-scorched emblem of Ulric was deeply etched.The skull belonged to a gigantic sea-dwelling multi-headed serpent that had leaped before the shadowy Dark Ark. The monster was 140 feet long in life, as long as a two-masted gunboat.This chilly skull shows Middenland's mighty military power, and also shows the former power of the black-armored wolf lord.

The black-armored elector stared at his spoils, seemingly lost in long memories. His majestic body stood like a mountain in front of this wall of glory, quietly like a bronze sculpture.The wind blowing from the side corridors shook his thick wolf fur cloak, making a slight rustling sound.After a long time, he sighed heavily, and then uttered an oath-like cry with a barely audible voice.

"Hyde, if you are really the prophesied lion, prove it to me with your strength! Whether you are a wolf or a lion, let me see how you can growl. Felix, don't you Let me down, my time is running out, I wait for your moment to prove yourself with victory!"

Although the wolf lord's voice was not loud, it was filled with overwhelming strength and momentum. The howling cold wind from the north turned around his majestic side, as if it wanted to bring this voice far away, to those who should know but don't know. people...

"Your Highness, have you seen it? That's where the Chaos Camp was. Although it has been burned down by our army, the priest's purification ceremony is still needed."

"Well, Marshall, I see it. But in a way, I feel it deeper. In fact, I can feel the wave of the evil remnant, and some other feelings."

Hyde put his hand on the hilt of the sword casually, and answered Marshall calmly.This is a morning shrouded in dark clouds, two days have passed since the short battle on the outskirts of the village, and now they are in Kharkov, under the dark clouds, Hyde, Marshall, and Fred all Gathered on top of a towering castle tower, observing the ruins of the fierce battle not far away.

In fact, after bidding farewell to the village elder and his lovely granddaughter, Hyde and his party rushed to the expected coalition camp --- Kharkov Castle in just one and a half days.But to Hyde's surprise, the main force of the coalition forces had set off to the north three days ago. It was said that the situation in Kislevgrad was already very critical and there was no room for delay.

After learning that Hyde was the son of the Elector of Middenland and a newly-promoted divinely favored person, General Kislev and the imperial baggage officer who stayed behind in the castle warmly entertained Hyde and his party.The imperial logistics officer even proposed to let Hyde and the others stay for two days, waiting for the follow-up troops to join up and advance together.He pointed out that although the enemy's southward army has been defeated, there are still chaotic Kugan cavalry detachments in the north of Kharkov, as well as trolls commanded by chaos wizards. Cavalry going north alone are vulnerable to attack.It's better to join up with other follow-up troops and go northward with enough troops to be safer.

This suggestion cannot but be said to be reasonable. Although Hyde is confident in his own strength, he also accepted this suggestion.He is not a irrational person, he understands that he should accept other people's opinions, that it is worthless to be arrogant, and he must learn the lesson from the attack at the military depot.Because an officer has more than his own life in his hands, he must be responsible for the lives of his comrades and subordinates.War is not something that can be achieved by one person's bravery, not to mention that there is still a gap of thousands of miles between myself and the real strong, whether it is compared with Lu Jin or Terman.

So Hyde and the Ugol cavalry stopped temporarily in the castle, waiting for the moment when the large group of troops set off.The stone wall of Kharkovgrad Castle is very high. From the rocky tower with mottled bullet marks, you can overlook the coalition army camp that is empty outside the castle wall, leaving only endless ditches and earth barriers like spider webs, and The ruins of the chaos army besieging Kharkov a few months ago, even though the battle is over, the area still smells of death and destruction.

Four months ago, tens of thousands of Chaos Kugans and their ferocious cold beasts and mammoths suddenly attacked the city of Kislev, which had only more than 1000 defenders at that time, at night.Only the outer city with wooden walls was breached like lightning, commercial areas and residential areas were reduced to ashes, tens of thousands of citizens either died by swords, or were buried in fire, and more tragically, they became the food and blood of Chaos trolls Sacrifice at the altar, at that moment Kharkov was like hell.

But more than 1 citizens and defenders withdrew into the ancient castle in the center of the city, relying on the solid granite walls and towers protected by magic runes to resist desperately. Mrs. Kisley has always been tenacious in times of crisis, both men and women Young and old took up arms to fight bravely. Lead bullets, stones and arrows rained down on the heads of the Kugans. The mad mammoth was also shot dead at the gate of the city. The Kugans who did not have siege cannons ate It was a big loss, so I had to temporarily change the storm into a siege, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

But the reinforcements are always relative. When the first reinforcements from the Chaos Norse arrived in Kharkov from the north, the reinforcements from the Southern Dukes of Kislev also arrived.When the Chosen Warriors arrived with the heavy artillery of the Chaos Dwarven mercenaries, the Ninth Army of the Empire from the Starry Night of Altdorf also arrived.So around the castle of Kharkov formed a whirling boiler of death, clearing the siege, encircling the siege, field battles, and sieges, and the performances were repeated over and over again. Kislev, Chaos, and the Sigmar Empire, one after another, troops threw into the city In the midst of attacking and defending, no one would give up on Kislev, an important town on the southern front.

The significance of Kharkov is extraordinary. In the entire southern region of Kislev, it is not only a prosperous commercial center and traffic hub second only to the port city of Erengrad, but also hundreds of years ago, its center The castle was also where the royal family that now ruled Kislev, the Rurik family, was crowned.The young champion warrior Rurik swore an oath here and called the militia to counterattack Kislevgrad, which fell to the army of chaos. With the help of the ice and snow mage Kasha and her heroic father Susanin, In the end, Kislevgrad was recovered and the current Rurik Dynasty was established.To this day, the ancient ice and snow charm left by Queen Kasha and Susanin's meteorite six-leaf hammer are still preserved in the Kharkovgrad Castle. They are all sacred objects enshrined by the Rurik Dynasty.

After nearly three months of fierce offensive and defensive battles, the Khan of the Nine Tribes of Kugan, King Agrisa Mafa Khan, who first surrendered to Lostari, personally led eighteen thousand Chaos infantry and nine-headed cavalry. War Mammoth, together with a group of carefully selected Chaos Dwarf gunners and twenty siege cannons, rushed to Kharkov day and night.The beautiful Lostari was already impatient with this stubborn city in the south. She ordered Agrisa to lead the army to the south and quickly solve the problem. The Khan naturally went south with full confidence, but——— The result was beyond his expectation.

When Agrisa's army had just joined up with other Chaos armies besieging Kharkov and held grand sacrificial ceremonies and banquets. Before they could plan their next move, the coalition forces of the Empire and Kislev suddenly launched fought back.Agrisa drank the remaining wine in the cup calmly, and the determined headquarters lined up to fight, thinking that they could completely destroy the "unbelievers" who dared to take the initiative to die in one fell swoop, but this battle became the battle for this Kugan Khan's nightmare also made the Khan a laughing stock among the Chaos army.

Not more than an hour after the two armies fought, a sudden imperial cavalry unit from the west cut open the right wing of the Chaos army, then swept to the left, joined forces with the coalition forces attacking from the front, and crushed Agrisa's main formation of crushing.And the defenders in Kharkov Castle also seized the opportunity and rushed out to attack the back of the Chaos army.In just five or six hours, the entire Chaos army was completely destroyed. One of Agrisa's arms was lost along with his military flag. Seven of the nine war mammoths were turned into roast meat, and two more were lost at the same time. The lives of ten Chaos generals, more than thirty Chosen Ones, and more than 1 Chaos soldiers.

This lightning-like army is the famous Thirteenth Army of the Empire, also known as the Magician Yang Army. They originally participated in the high-elf expedition on the other side of the Sea of ​​​​Claws, thousands of miles away from Kharkov. They were far away, but the storm of chaos forced them to eagerly return thousands of miles away with the help of the Elf Navy and the Imperial Merchant Fleet.These soldiers are the elites of the empire who have experienced many battles. After landing in the city of Erengrad, they rushed eastward all the way through the starry night, smashing the wandering chaotic tribes trying to stop them like lightning and thunderbolts. Kharkov, with a beautiful uppercut deviously destroyed the army of Agrisa Khan.As a result, the situation on the southern front was completely reversed, and the road to the north to rescue Kislevgrad was opened.

All this happened in one morning 30 days ago. In fact, this battle took place on the same day as Hyde's victory over Chaos Chosen Tiggle.When Hyde and Tigger were fighting hard in the darkness of the early morning, Marshal Yang's army rushed to the western suburbs of Kharkov.When Hyde woke up from the coma of serious injuries, Marshal Yang's cavalry broke through the right formation of the Chaos army, and when Fleur finished telling Hyde, the banner of the Chaos army fell to the ground together with their commander.However, what Hyde doesn't know is that after so many years have passed, the bloody first battle outside his military station, in the parchment history books and folk singers' singing, will be even more glorious than the Kharkov War...
