Warhammer: Return of the Dragon.

The sight of the burning Blood Temple stunned Khalida.

As the diamond of the Kingdom of Nehekhara, Lahmia is extremely large. In order to cover up the reality of becoming a vampire, Nefera spent a lot of money to build temples everywhere.

The Blood Temple, as the main structure, is no less impressive than a small castle. It covers a vast area and uses the most possible materials.

But such a grand building has turned into ruins?

Yes, what lay before the Chosen One of Asaph was a Lahmia with its central area reduced to ruins.

She pondered for a long time, thinking that she had misunderstood the young Caledorian monarch. Perhaps Draconir had not established an unrivaled reputation, but this strength...

Khalida turned around and gave orders to the elf soldiers whose bodies were covered in blood.

"I want to see your king."

The soldier remained unmoved, holding his spear tightly and staring at Khalida's golden mask.

Khalida was somewhat displeased, and the venom staff pointed vaguely at the corpse-like elf.

"I don't like saying it a second time."

The soldier's tone was emotionless, as if he was discussing a trivial matter.

"The dead have no right to ask His Highness Draknir to do anything. You will have the opportunity to meet Caledor only when His Highness summons you."

The change in attitude made Khalida a little uncomfortable. She thought Draconian was a little weak, but she never expected that the soldiers under her command were so tough.

She emphasized it again, and the snake head of the venom staff wrapped around the soldier's shoulders under the will of the chosen one.

"Now!"

The venom transformed into a python, which coiled around the elf's neck, but he remained unmoved and responded calmly.

"Wait for His Majesty's summons. You have no right to ask Caledor to do anything."

Hostile eyes began to target Khalida. The soldiers who could be sent overseas were all loyal followers of the Dragon Court.

Especially the guards of Dragonbone Wasteland, they consider themselves the guardians of the holy land. In addition to the political obligation of loyalty to the prince, they also have a sacred contract to become children of the Dragon Father.

The dragon's gaze gradually gathered here, staring at the Libaras construct army with post-war bloodthirstiness. Yesterday they were seriously injured by many similar things.

Khalida nodded coldly. It seemed that Caledo's pride had never disappeared, but she had previously regarded kindness as weakness and now she was suffering the consequences.

If a soldier dares to look coldly at the queen, what about the Phoenix King who is known for his arrogance?
On the other side, Draconian silently took the casualty report. The siege phase was going very smoothly. The undead lacked effective means of outbreak and were best at the anvil tactics of stirring up trouble.

Crude spears cannot pierce fine magic armor, and rigid attacks cannot match the swift speed of the elves.

But the real loss still exists. After the Tomb Titan appeared, hundreds of brave warriors who braved death to block the charge of the Soul Bound Knight died, including the laser shock...

"Ed Tyreese, am I a bit of a failure..."

"Failure?" Edtalis wiped the blood off his face with a towel, and seeing the prince's grief-stricken expression, he walked to his side thoughtfully.

"We all have a period when we doubt ourselves... After my brother died, I carried my father's hopes. Elvis was still young at that time, and Agathel often looked forward to the Dragon Gate. I had to prove the power of Wind Howling City to the world. I practiced martial arts like crazy, intending to make a name for myself among the dragon princes and win the favor of your grandfather... But the situation was very bad. I lost to Imrik many times. He was a monster and had been since he was a child.

But this doesn't affect anything. I will lose because of my expectation of family honor, and you think failure is a sense of responsibility to the people.

I'm not your father, so I can't tell you too much.

But you are the monarch I am loyal to. If one day Caledor needs me to make a sacrifice, I will sacrifice my life for you in the name of my family without hesitation."

The Dragon Prince held the young man's shoulder and said, "You are no longer the child we protected. Now you have become the master of the Dragon Palace who needs to protect Caledor. Countless eyes are looking forward to you leading the kingdom to become greater.

Your father pulled Caledor back from the abyss, and I believe you can lead the dragon to truly soar... Remember the names of the victims, but don't miss them or feel sad. Turn them into knives and carve them into your heart.

Behind the glory, there is only loneliness. "

Draconian nodded silently and finally burned the report into ashes. He would remember the names of these people and visit their families in person after the work was done.

But now... he needs to consider how to block Arkhan's retreat.

After changing his mindset, the prince's expression became very resolute.

"Edtalis, go negotiate with Khalida. Lahmia can give it to her, but she must give something in return."

"I understand." The Dragon Prince nodded, picked up his helmet and walked towards Khalida's location.

Before leaving, he glanced at the young prince for the last time, "Draknir, don't try to take on everything by yourself... We will be loyal to you unconditionally, but we will always be servants who accompany Imrik in his growth.

When we are old and can no longer serve Caledor, we need you to lead a group of people to show the glory of Caledor. Individual strength may be important, but we are connected by blood.

After this trip, I hope you will consider how to form a team of retainers. No one will refuse this honor. "

Edtalis left and came to Khalida with the prince's orders.

There seems to be a gap between Khalida, who is sitting on the giant golden snake, and the Dragon Prince, who is standing on the ground. However, the difference in vision does not mean a decrease in momentum.

Edtalis was confident that he could take down Lybaras with Dawn Fortress alone, which was why he faced Khalida with pride.

"You want Lahmia? You can. The port of Lybaras, the right of way to the Canyon of the Kings, and the right for Kaledo to establish outposts in areas under your control."

"Impossible, you want me to betray Nehekhara." Khalida did not expect the Dragon Prince to have such a big appetite. As long as the Imperial Canyon was opened, it would mean that Caledor would not have to reach the Black Pyramid from the heart of the desert where powerful countries stood. What was the difference between this and betrayal.

"I don't like to negotiate. Either you give me these three things, or I turn Lahmia into ruins."

"Are you serious?" Khalida didn't believe that the Dragon Prince would dare to do this. If Lahmia was reduced to ruins, what was the difference between this and declaring war on Settra.

"Caldor never jokes, and if I can't get what I want, then I will destroy him.

If your Immortal Emperor continues to foolishly guard the Black Pyramid, we will deal with the problem of the Lord of the Dead in our own way."

Edtalis' expressionless face caused Khalida to remain silent for a long time, and finally she slowly nodded in agreement. (End of this chapter)
