Chapter Ninety-One: Preparing the Contract
A big battle caused by the silver seal ended with the defeat of Manfred's three vampire principals, and the silver seal was also taken back by Zhang Hao.
Silver Seal (Elite):
Powerful defensive gear created by Tanas, once the Empire's famous battle mage, to defend against physical and magical attacks.
Melee defense increased by 5%. Increases magic resistance by 20% by any given type. Special protection is increased by 30% (all types of damage are reduced by this value). It can effectively sense the hostile emotions around the person (100% killing intent, that is, the person who is about to carry out a series of actions such as assassination and assassination against the wearer). Accelerates the wearer's recovery from injury.
The powerful defensive equipment just makes up for the lack of Zhang Hao's other two magical defenses, in addition to the ordinary state of pure energy physique of Sigma incarnation, metal magic and necromancy can be said to be Zhang Hao's biggest weakness now, even if there is a silver seal, it can only reduce the damage of one of the magic defenses by fifty percent at most.
When Zhang Hao led the army to retreat, he ran into Lilith who turned back, "Give your sword back to you!" Obviously the strength is so strong, why do you want to support me!! Lilith was very angry, she felt that Zhang Hao underestimated her too much, even if she couldn't kill all sides like Zhang Hao, she couldn't and couldn't do it like Bini and Teucer.
"Your Highness, I'll take care of Orseus, he may be sober soon." Bini immediately made an excuse to leave.
"The griffons who just fought may have eaten something unclean and have diarrhea all the time, so I'll take a look." After receiving Bini's eyes, Tork also quickly thought of an excuse to leave the team.
Only Kreuz still looked at Lilith and Zhang Hao seriously, waiting for them to continue.
"Ahem, that Croze? The Knights of the Burning Heart seem to need your help, how about you go and see it? ”
“?”
"If you want to go, you'll go!"
“!”
The reason why Zhang Hao took Lilith away was because of his uncertainty about the new power and his lack of knowledge of the legendary strength of the vampire, so he let Lilith leave first, and there were still 40,000 undead soldiers, Zhang Hao's worries were normal.
——————————
Ten days later, the city of Utbad in the province of Stir.
The reason why Zhang Hao chose this place to sign a contract with Manfred is because it has played an important role in the battle against the vampire twice. The people who live here also hate vampires much more than in other provinces. Today's signing ceremony Karl did not arrive, because for a leader who is about to become a vassal country, his supreme ruler is much lower than the level of the suzerain, even if Zhang Haolai's level is too big.
Manfred entered Utbad under the leadership of Croze and the Burning Heart Knights, and the entire main road was guarded by soldiers, and behind them were Utbad and people who had come from other places, dwarves, elves, and people from other human nations. Everyone gathered in Utbad to watch the Empire of Humanity's biggest victory over the vampire race, not to mention the live broadcast of the Communication Crystal, if there were flashing lights, the entire street would be scratched.
Manfred secretly observed the crowd around him from his large cloak, they did not shout angrily, nor did they act excessively, they just watched quietly, Manfred could feel the resentment in it, and the silence was sometimes far more terrible than the roar. In the last Battle of the Silver Seal, Zhang Hao broadcast the entire process of the destruction of the vampire army to the whole empire through the communication crystal, which was also known to Manfred after he returned. Evil, terrible, the vampires who dominate the dead have become no longer mysterious, and they have become invincible, in the past in the battle against vampires, human soldiers have always lost more than victory, and the price they paid is often more than twice that of the original vampire army, but the loss of the undead army in the Silver Seal Battle is ten times that of the emperor's ** team, plus the country's propaganda and guidance, the fear of the undead in the empire is extremely reduced. Whenever he thought of this situation, Manfred would sigh deeply, the Midnight Venerable Family could no longer be noble even at midnight, which was a result he never expected.
As soon as the Burning Heart Knights led by Kroze walked by, the soldiers on both sides of the road followed the cavalry in a neat line towards the castle of the lord, and the people who came to watch followed suit. In the end, they all gathered at the foot of the long steps of the lord's castle to wait for the signing ceremony.
The gates of the castle of the lords were closed, and the door was covered with a large oil painting depicting the flags of the two countries, with the griffin banner of the Empire on the left and the vampire motif of Manfred bats on the right. In front of the door, on top of the steps is a long table with three chairs behind it. As Manfred walked up the steps alone, Zhang Hao, Walkema and Baier Shaze walked out, during the time of Zhang Hao's rise, except for the last battle, Manfred had no personal contact with the empire, from the knight chief who led the way just now, to the three Zhang Hao who greeted him now, they did not deliberately suppress the power in their bodies, not to mention the quasi-legend of Kreuz, the power exuded by the two behind Zhang Hao was comparable to Manfred himself, which made Manfred's heart a little uncomfortable, I don't know how many times I have my current strength after thousands of years of life and death, and now there are two powerful existences in the empire besides Zhang Hao, which really makes him feel uncomfortable, but he still has to keep smiling on the surface.
"Welcome to our future staunch supporter, His Excellency Count Manfred von Kastein, and first allow me to introduce these two witnesses sent by His Majesty the Emperor beside me, who are the Imperial Grand Magus, the Rector of the Emperor's Academy of Magic, His Excellency Byrshaze Gaert." After Zhang Hao finished speaking, Baier Shaze's big golden face nodded politely to Manfred. "This is the Archpriest of the Empire, the leader of the Sigmar Sect, Walkma."
"I never thought I could be friends with vampires, but this is the strategic layout of His Highness, I choose unconditional support, but if you let me know that you vampires are doing some small things behind your back, please don't blame me for being ruthless!" Walkmar has always had an attitude of exterminating these evil creatures. But because it was summoned by the system, it would not go against Zhang Hao's wishes, otherwise he might be killing at this moment.
"And our dwarven friend" Zhang Hao stretched out his hand to invite the opposite Brock-Iron Chisel, in order to prevent the vampire and the Iron Chisel family from going to war when the empire and the vampire signed a contract, Zhang Hao invited the Brock Iron Chisel to also come, so that he and Manfred also signed a low-level contract to ensure that the three parties would not be harmed. As for the elves and Bretonnia, they are not invited because the Empire has not yet signed a final alliance agreement with them......
