Warhammer in a box

Chapter 232 Duel
When Emil and the other two walked out of the palace gate, Klaus was standing behind Boris. Boris put on his wolfskin cloak again and put the huge axe that he had hung in the house behind him.

"Boris! Why are you here?"

Emil asked with a sullen look on his face.

"Emile, long time no see. I heard that you did a very bad job as the high priest. You are indeed worthy of being Yurik's most powerful warrior." Boris said with a wry smile, and there was obviously sarcasm in the compliment.

To be honest, Emile still respected the former high priest very much. Those who could become high priests had made many outstanding achievements.

But the appearance of Boris actually brought together again the believers who had originally dispersed, and whispers continued to be heard among the crowd.

Emile heard that these believers were discussing Terra's missionary work, but he had just received Yurik's oracle and had not even made a final decision with Carl. Where on earth did these believers hear this from?

"Klaus! I now suspect that you are connected to Chaos. We must get to the bottom of this matter. Come here now!" Emil looked at Klaus who was standing aside.

"Emile, Klaus is my apprentice, you have no right to take him away!"

"Boris! I am the high priest of the Church of Yurik!" Emile retorted.

"High priest? Hey, Yurik's followers, look at your high priest! He is now planning to introduce a god who came from nowhere into the territory of the great Yurik. He plans to snatch the faith that belongs to Yurik for the sake of other churches. Such a person is not worthy of being a high priest at all!"

Boris did not respond to Emil but turned and spoke to the believers behind him.

These words further ignited the emotions of the believers. In nature, powerful beasts always act alone.

"Emile, do you dare to swear to Yurik that this never happened?!"

Faced with Boris's questioning, Emil didn't know how to answer for a moment. The oracle is the oracle, but it does not mean that all believers are willing to accept it.

And Emile's reaction further proved that Boris' words were not false, which made the believers even more excited.

"High Priest! Is what Lord Boris said true? Do you really want to help outsiders to seize the faith that belongs to Yurik? Isn't the oppression of the Church of Sigmar enough?!"

Some emotional believers have begun yelling at the Emir.

"Now, Emil! Hand over the Terra murderer who killed the knight! I can give him a fair fight and a decent death." Boris continued to press on.

Boris' eyes were full of triumph. He just wanted the believers to doubt the current high priest. Although forcing the Emir to step down was probably impossible, it would be enough as long as he could cause conflicts within Yurik.

A holy war is brewing. If the Church of Ulric, the northern pillar and barrier of the empire, is thrown into chaos, the army from the northern Chaos Wasteland will have an easier time, and he will receive more blessings for this great feat.

Asking Emil and Karl to hand over the general of Terra would inevitably cause conflict between Terra and the Empire. No force could watch their general being handed over to someone else like a prisoner, no matter whether their general was right or wrong.

Just when Karl and Emir were in a dilemma, Gurman took the initiative to say, "Emir, His Majesty Karl, agree to him!"

"What? Gurman, do you know what you are talking about?"

"I know. I will be responsible for my words. No matter what the result is, it will not affect the cooperation between Terra and the Empire."

Seeing Gurman's serious expression, Karl and Emil didn't say anything more. Gurman walked up to Boris and said, "Your name is Boris, right? I'm the one you're looking for. What kind of fight do you mean by fair fight?"

"Oh? You are the Gurman? A fair fight is of course a one-on-one duel between you and me. I will use the battle axe in my hand to avenge the dead knight and safeguard the honor of Yurik."

"Really? How about this, tomorrow, we'll fight it out in the duel arena in front of everyone's witnesses. I believe you won't refuse, right? If you refuse, the god you believe in may no longer favor you." Gulman obviously had something else in his words, and only the person involved knew what Gulman was talking about.

Of course, Boris's belief at this time was not Ulric, but Khorne. What Khorne hated most was that his believers ran away. But if you were violent and fierce enough, and killed people to Khorne's satisfaction or killed powerful enemies, then Khorne might resurrect you again even if you died.

Killing the important believer of the god that the evil god hates obviously suits Boris's purpose very well, and killing the opponent in public can also hit Terra.

"Tomorrow? How do I know you're not lying? How can you guarantee you won't run away?"

"I swear to the great God-Emperor." After hearing Gurman swear to God, Boris also believed it. No devout believer would deceive his God.

"But the one who will fight you tomorrow is not me, but someone else."

"Gullman boy, are you kidding me?!"

"Don't worry, if you win I will commit suicide here."

"Could it be your so-called earl? That's even better!"

Boris had limited information, and in his mind, the strongest person in Terra was Ludwig.

Judging from previous public intelligence, Ludwig's only outstanding achievement was the battle with Ulfric, and this was also done with the help of wood elves and external forces.

There were no spectators around for the rest of the battles, so Boris believed that the Terrans, who relied on mechanical creations, could not find anyone to fight with.

"Very good, then we'll meet at the arena in Altdorf at 12 noon tomorrow!"

"can!"

Gurman walked back to Karl and Emil, and Karl asked anxiously, "Kurman, who are you looking for? Is it those divine messengers from Rogner? But they are all seriously injured. Or Ludwig?"

"No... none of them... You will know tomorrow, Your Majesty, I'm sorry I can't stay here any longer. I have to go to the headquarters of the Jaeger Chamber of Commerce."

On Boris' side, Klaus said to Boris anxiously: "Sir! Why did you give that Gurman a chance? Why don't we just kill him? The longer you wait, the more trouble you will have!"

"Shut up. No matter who the other party is, is it possible to defeat me? I have the blessing of the Lord! I know very well how many strong people they have, or how many strong people the Empire has! Now let the believers wait patiently. After I kill that guy tomorrow, we will continue to attack Terra!"

"Okay... well..."

Boris actually simply wanted to monopolize this honor so that he could get more rewards from Khorne!
And Gulman quickly arrived at the headquarters of the Jaeger Chamber of Commerce.
