The Bizarre Adventure of the Warhammer Elves

Chapter 198 Charges
Watching the black dragon in the sky slowly land in Castle Black, the nobles dispersed quietly, preparing to bring gifts from their respective families to visit and celebrate His Majesty the Witch King.

According to the usual practice, the treasury will be empty for a period of time after each war, and during this period is the time for the major families to show their courtesy.

As long as he can pay tribute of valuable gold, silver and jewels to fill the national treasury, and when the finances return to normal in a few years, Lord Witch King will use his status and power to repay the various families.

This can be regarded as the unwritten rule of Naggarond.

——— Castle Black
"Your Majesty the Great Phoenix King, here are 500 domesticated Cold Ones donated by our family. I hope they can help your army regain its fighting strength as soon as possible."

In the dark hall of the palace, Malekith sat on the Iron Throne, looking with great interest at the middle-aged elf below, and Higgs bowing beside him.

Seemingly aware of the gaze of the Witch King, Higgs mustered up the courage to look at the throne, but was frightened by those green eyes that seemed to be able to devour souls, and lowered his head
The surrounding nobles also had joking expressions on their faces, looking forward to what kind of good show they could see next.

I don't know how long it took before Malekith turned his gaze to the black guards next to him, and asked the leader, Yiluer:

"Where is the Rohan man, why didn't I see him?"

"Master Witch King, Rohan wrote a letter a few days ago, because a fear lord named [Higgs] left the army and fled the battlefield without authorization, so he needs to rectify the local soldiers, so it may be a little later."

Yiluer, who had received the letter from Rohan in advance, handed the envelope directly to the Witch King, and then highlighted Higgs' name, his tone full of murderous intent and disdain.

Even the black guards who were standing guard near the hall had uncontrollable killing intent in their eyes when they heard the name of 'Higgs', and they held the shield and halberd tightly in their hands.

The current black guards of the castle are almost all comrades brought out by Rohan back then, so they all wish to beat Higgs to ashes with their own hands.

They will never forget those teammates who died tragically at the hands of Higgs, and their painful wails before they died!
The cold murderous aura instantly filled the entire hall, and the oppressive atmosphere made these pampered nobles a little breathless, but they didn't dare to make any noise at will.

The entire hall fell into a dead silence, only the dull breathing sound could be heard from under the terrifying mask of the Witch King from time to time, echoing in the empty and dark palace.

After an unknown amount of time, Malekith slowly got up from the throne, came to Higgs who was half kneeling on the ground, and asked:
"I remember you, you once participated in the Black Tower training of the Black Guard of Naggarond, and you are considered an excellent fighter. Why did you flee the battlefield without authorization?"

The bone-piercing sound made Higgs on the ground tremble with fright. He suppressed the fear in his heart and said:
"I'm sorry, Lord Witch King. At that time, a powerful Demon King of Ever-changing appeared on the battlefield. His magic strength was so strong that the sorceresses under my command had no way to counter it..."

"So you got scared and left your army behind, leaving the local dreadlords to fight alone?"

Malekith gently placed his palm on Higgs' shoulder, and the sharp gauntlets kept approaching Higgs' soft neck, making him shudder.

He knew that if he made a mistake in what he said next, his neck would most likely be torn apart!
At this extremely critical moment, he suddenly thought of the information secretly sent to him by Mekasha, which was the battle report about the battle between Lohan and the Lord of Changes.

That bastard named [Lohan] can use magic!

Thinking of this, Higgs hugged Lord Witch King's calf as if he had caught a life-saving straw, regardless of his hands being pierced by sharp barbs, and cried:
"Master Witch King, the battlefield at that time was too dangerous, that fear lord named [Rohan] secretly learned magic, and even attacked my troops with magic!

Moreover, for his own sake, he forced me to hand over the army to his command. I only fled the battlefield because I was worried that I would be assassinated by Rohan with magic! "

"Higgs, do you know what you're talking about?!"

Hearing that his son had actually made such a serious accusation, Higgs' father, who was kneeling beside him, hurriedly grabbed his son's arm, trying to stop him from continuing.

You know, according to Naggaroth's few laws, accusing a dreadlord of breaking the law would be an extremely serious insult, and it can basically be said to be endless.

After all, Naggaroth's law starts with the death penalty, and the highest prisoner is the soul. Such accusations will greatly affect the relationship between the two parties.

Although, as the patriarch, he has never met Luohan himself, the battle reports from the front have confirmed that the opponent has the strength to defeat a Chaos Demon head-on!

Now more than half of the family's private soldiers have been consumed, and countless nobles are eyeing their family, hoping to annex them all the time.

Under such circumstances, Higgs actually added new enemies to the family, which is simply courting death!
'Lohan... is that handsome guy who believes in Ms. Mist? '

Morathi, who was standing in the corner of the palace, heard Luohan's name, a grotesque smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he turned his attention to his precious son.

She was looking forward to Malekith's verdict that Rohan had violated the law, so that she could justifiably take the little handsome guy she missed as her own.

However, Lord Witch King did not show any signs of anger, but looked at his blood-stained leg armor with some distaste, and returned to the throne and said:

"Anyway, Luo Han will be back in a while. When he comes back, you can confront him face to face."

Higgs, whose hands were covered in blood, knelt on the ground blankly. He had already realized his mistake, so he could only pray to the Witch King with his last hope:
"Master Witch King, I am willing to hand over 10 gold coins to the national treasury to redeem the sins I committed on the battlefield..."

"Of course I can forgive your fault, Lord Higgs, but you also need to be responsible for your accusation of another Dreadlord."

Malekith didn't mind this kind of behavior where someone would send money to him without paying a single cent. Anyway, he would get the money no matter whether he wins or loses.

Compared with these insignificant money, he was more interested in Higgs' accusation that Lohan was learning magic.

Looking at the nobles who were still surrounded in the hall, Malekith waved his hands boredly, and said to these nobles who still wanted to flatter:
"Let's all go down. All the nobles will gather at the duel field at noon tomorrow. I will personally judge the conflict between these two nobles."
