Side Story: The Ruthless and the Man in the Tomb
Herman Goust, the magic advisor to the vampire king Manfred, the second strongest man in Sylvania, the necromancer who once briefly owned one of the nine volumes of Nagash, and the strongest in the entire Old World, now collapsed to the ground like a dog.
A few meters in front of him was the Pope of the Empire's Sigmar Cult, Volkma the Heartless, hordes of battle priests, and many more Sigmar fanatics, who had completely surrounded the necromancer, who was once second only to the Lich Master.
After weeks of pursuit, one of the survivors of the Battle of Sylvania was finally cornered, and his black carriage made of the bones of four of his blood brothers had been completely destroyed by the soul flames of the Grand Master.
Ever since the Imperial God-King Sigmar broke away from the Winds of Light with the help of the gods and truly declared that his kingdom had been built, the spells of all Sigmar sects have been greatly enhanced.
A fellow legendary hero, even a necromancer who briefly owned one of the Nine Scrolls of Nagash and learned powerful and evil magic on it, is still no match for the Grand Master.
"Hermann Goust, your end has come."
The Grand Master looked at each other with a solemn expression, although the undead empire in the eastern border of the empire was completely destroyed, but the Empire, Bretonnia and the Dwarven Order alliance also suffered heavy losses, which made him not happy at all because of the victory in front of him, after all, the vampires have been operating here for too long, this is their home field.
Moreover, Sylvania, which has been poisoned by the evil necromantic winds for hundreds of years, has already become a paradise for the undead, and it will take a long time for them to completely purify this land.
But in the face of the threat of death, the necromancer did not have any fear, he coughed dryly, opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black, fishy blood before he spoke, "Walkma, you are just some lucky people who have been favored by the gods. But it will not last, and one day we will have our own gods, and then I will return from Hell again to seek sweet vengeance from you. β
He was not afraid of death, he had lived for hundreds of years, which was long enough for a former mortal, not to mention that he had already participated in that plan, one of the nine volumes of Nagash was taken away by the head of the family, and he still had a chance to be resurrected.
Hearing this, Grand Master Sigma, whose face was still full of seriousness just now, his expression softened a little, and he was smiling from the bottom of his heart, because this was a big victory for all the races and forces of the order camp, and it was even more important than the destruction of the vampire country, after all, the vampire country was the biggest threat to the empire, and this matter was about the whole world.
"Herman, you have been hunted down for too long, you don't even have any access to new information, although it has only been less than a month, all your conspiracies have been destroyed, and the gods you hoped for will never come."
The necromancer's heart suddenly tightened, although they were in the hostile camp with each other, he still knew something about this Sigma Grand Master, at least lying would not be the characteristic of the other party.
But he still made a tough look, "What are you talking nonsense?" This is led by Nagash himself, and there are many strong people who have been spanning hundreds of years and thousands of years! β
"I know." The Grand Master's expression was still relaxed, and there was even a hint of invisible pity in his eyes when he looked at the other party.
"There are nine volumes of Nagash, each corresponding to a powerful undead, a powerful wraith apostle."
"The Blood Wraith, Queen of House Lamia, Nevrita, has been subjugated, and now she has a new identity - the Kingdom of Bretonnia, military advisor to the Dukedom of Musilon, and although she is a vampire, she is surprisingly wise and knows what is best;
The Lich King Ackhan, a Sacred Ritual Wraith Apostle and Nagash's former confidant, is being hunted down by the High Elf Grand Wizard Tygris who has arrived from Ulthuan Roundabout, and God knows how he could be so enthusiastic;
Midnight Wraith Apostle, Manfred, the vampire king of Sylvania, who was killed by the Green Knight, the incarnation of the original king of Bretonnia, and the spokesperson of the goddess of the lake on the ground, the lake fairy, who made him naΓ―ve enough to capture the lake god fairy as a sacrifice?
The Apostle of the Dark Wraith, the last vampire king Vlad, is now the Black Lady's most faithful assistant after learning the truth about Manfred's betrayal and promising to resurrect his lover Isabella if he succeeds;
The Abyssal Wraith Apostle, the most powerful vampire pirate king of the seas, Luther Hakon, who has been exterminated by Prince Tyrion from Ulthuan, who made him try to collect the Lost Ship Song and get his hands on the ancient sea dragons?
Apostle of the Desperate Wraith"
But before the Grand Master could finish speaking, the necromancer had already let out a cry of pain and despair, his pale bone claws digging deep into the dirt on the ground, but he still didn't realize it, "That's enough, Walkma, I know, in the end I only want to ask one thing!" β
The necromancer gasped for air, even though he didn't need to breathe anymore, "Last question, how did you outsmart Nagash?" β
If it weren't for Nagash's failure, none of the above would have happened.
Nagash wants to return to the world, and Nagash's nine volumes, nine apostles of the wraith, and the divine power of the god of death are all three indispensable.
The Grand Master shrugged his shoulders, a move he had learned from the Duke of Musiron, "In the realm of the gods, the gods of Nehekhara have chosen to fight side by side under a common threat. β
"Although Nagash's power is indeed extremely powerful, he not only secretly killed the god of the dead, Moore, but even killed the god of the dead among the desert gods in a head-to-head confrontation, but he still failed in the end, because the divine power of the god of the dead has found a new carrier, and the god of death is about to be born in the world, but it will not be Nagash."
The necromancer finally couldn't help but exclaim, "Who could that be?!" β
The reason why he joined this plan, the reason why they joined this plan, is because it seems so perfect, there has never been a god of death in the world, once Nagash's plan is successful, he will become the most powerful god in the entire old world, even comparable to the gods of chaos, he will be the true king of gods!
"It's Ms. Black."
The necromancer was taken aback again, "What? How could it be her? A mere human? β
He had already had a lot of speculations before, the Eternals Dragonstone, the King of Rotten Flesh Usoran, the Lord of Nikolaci, Votholon, and even the Blood Dragon Ancestor Abbot Wallace, but he never expected it to be a human!
"It's really unlikely that she's in normal times, but if she's got a relic from the Ancient Sage, that's a different matter."
The Grand Master smiled again, although he had once hated the Dark Crystal Academy, the Black Lady was now allied with the God King Sigma, who would be the staunchest ally of the Sigmar Sect, and she had also taught many powers to restrain the undead.
But maybe the next time he mentions that name, he shouldn't be called Lady Black, he should call her the Great Goddess of Death!
The necromancer still had a lot of questions, but the Grand Master had already waved his hand, "Herman, I've left you too much time, and now, it's time to pay for what you've done." β
The surging soul flames rose from all sides, and the necromancer was taken aback, it turned out that during the time he was distracted, those battle priests had already set up a huge purification circle, although it was only a quick glance, he also knew that this circle was definitely not something that the Sigma Sect could have, because it contained a lot of real, death-related knowledge, even more profound than what was recorded in the nine scrolls of Nagash!
"W-how?"
"Die, Herman, and repent of all that you have done! Cleanse! β
