Chapter 81 The cottage
While Duanmu Huai and others were fighting on the front line, General Pastor was not idle either.
As he said before, the battle group is responsible for assaulting and defeating the enemy's center, while the other parts are left to the army to recover. Without a leader, the stragglers hiding in the ruins are naturally no match for the army. Most of them are now
Mordheim has been recovered, and the complete recovery of this city is just around the corner.
But General Pastor's face didn't look very good, and the reason was because of the letter in his hand.
This was the reply sent by General Paster when he reported the arrival of reinforcements to the eldest prince. In the letter, the eldest prince first greatly commended General Paster and asked him to continue his efforts and completely regain the entire Mordheim.
He said that in order to avoid further trouble, he asked General Pastor to seize all the warpstones in Mordheim and transport them to Altdorf for storage.
Before, General Pastor wouldn't have thought there was anything wrong with this order, but now... he always felt something was wrong.
The warpstone is of great importance, and Mordheim is far away from Altdorf. For safety reasons, it should be sealed on the spot.
Why transport it back to Altdorf?
Moreover, His Majesty the Emperor also stated in the letter that this matter is of great importance, and there is even a intention to abandon Mordheim and transport the dimension stone back to Altdorf. The hidden meaning in this is really how much General Paster
Feeling a little uneasy.
As for the dimensional stone itself, General Pastor has also seen it. It is indeed a stone containing mysterious power, but his impression of this stone is not very good. After all, since coming to Mordheim, Pastor has
The general saw that these dimension stones were basically used in evil rituals.
For example, the defilement ceremony of the Chaos believers in the temple, the portal that the God of Desire believers tried to open, and the current tyrannical believers... Huh?
Thinking of this, General Pastor suddenly had an idea in his mind and shuddered.
Could it be that, as he thought, His Majesty the Emperor had surrendered to the God of Deception? Could he be planning to use these dimension stones to perform some sacrilegious ritual in Altdorf?!
In the past, General Pastor would not have dared to have such rebellious thoughts, but now, his thoughts have changed.
In particular, General Pastor pointed out to His Majesty the Emperor that the Archbishop of the Church of Sigmar is a believer of the deceitful God in his previous report, and hoped that the Emperor would take great precautions. However, in this reply, the Emperor said something about this believer of the evil god.
Nothing was mentioned.
Not only that, as a general who stayed behind, General Pastor also knew some of the current internal affairs of the empire, and knew that the emperor's position was not secure. Although he was indeed the eldest prince, logically it should be his turn.
He inherited the throne, but the eldest prince acted too impatiently, which caused many people to be dissatisfied with him. Like the previous Three Emperors War, it looked fierce on the surface, but in fact it was a duel between the three princes and their supporters.
Almost all other lords remain neutral.
Not to mention, there are not a few people in Altdorf who, like General Pastor, suspect that the eldest prince is suspected of killing the emperor.
After all, all the ministers of the empire are loyal to the emperor. Did your emperor die suddenly, or was he assassinated during the Great Crusade?
This kind of thing seems unbelievable when you think about it.
Moreover, the eldest prince's speed was too fast. Almost as soon as the news arrived, he immediately stated that "a country cannot live without a king for a day" and then ascended the throne. It felt like the eldest prince had been waiting for this news.
Therefore, many high-ranking officials in Altdorf currently support the eldest prince on the surface, but they either obey his orders or find excuses to delay. It can be said that the eldest prince's position as emperor is not stable at all.
So will he have any thoughts that he shouldn't have?
General Pastor knew this very well, for he was one of them, and in fact, had the Emperor not been available, he would not have been sent here from Altdorf.
Therefore, after learning that Duanmu Huai and others had successfully eliminated the followers of the God of Desire, he immediately sent someone to invite Duanmu Huai and others over to discuss countermeasures.
"He wants the warpstone?"
"Yes."
Facing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, General Pastor nodded bitterly. He finally understood that he might actually be a part of this game. In this city now, the God of Desire, the God of Tyranny, and the God of Disease
Both gods and ratmen are fighting for the warpstone, and they represent the same side.
However, the question is, do they represent the empire or the deceitful god?
"this……………"
Hearing this, the battle nuns and witch hunters also frowned. They were in favor of sealing the dimension stone in situ in the monastery, but why did the emperor want the dimension stone?
"Do you have a report on the quantity? The number of dimension stones we seized is quite large."
Duanmu Huai went to the slums before and asked Ogis to cut open the large dimensional stone in the center of the crater and bring it back. The dimensional stone was three to four meters high and very huge. Not only that, it was also destroying the rat people and chaos.
In the process of becoming believers, they also seized a lot of dimensional stones, and coupled with the fragments of dimensional stones that the army has found in the city, it is not a small number.
"Of course, His Majesty said that they should all be transported to Altdorf and put under the care of the academy."
"………………"
Hearing this, the battle nuns and witch hunters looked even more gloomy. Naturally, everyone has heard of Altdorf's magic academy. Many wizards in the empire studied in the magic academy. But this does not mean that they are not dangerous.
In fact, as clergy, they don't have a good temper towards wizards.
Especially the witch hunter - from the name of his position, it can be seen that eight out of ten of his targets are wizards. Let these madmen guard the dimension stone?
What's the difference between this and committing theft?
"That's easy."
However, Duanmuhuai didn't care at all.
"Since they want it, then give it to them - just not really."
"If you don't give the real thing, then how about you give the fake one??"
Hearing this, the Battle Sister asked doubtfully, this time the Yuan Stone is not an ore, but a stone containing magical power. Its appearance is green and it also glows. How can it be faked?
"It's very simple. Just grind some small dimensional stones into powder, then apply it on the stone, and then send it over."
Duanmu Huai's idea was very simple. He was also deeply suspicious of the emperor's actions. To be honest, if Duanmu Huai hadn't been able to enter Altdorf, he would have directly brought a hammer to judge the eldest prince.
Another way is to take the dimension stone to the royal city and keep a close eye on it. Once the guy plans to use the dimension stone to do something, jump out directly.
But...who stipulates that true dimensional stones must be used?
Can we get a fake one?
Just like those gold necklaces, they look similar in appearance, but who knows whether they are pure gold or gold-plated?
"This is a good idea."
Hearing this, the witch hunter who had been silent all the time nodded. As a witch hunter, his best skill is dealing with wizards, and he is naturally very familiar with magic.
"As long as we find some gravel, grind some dimensional stone fragments into powder, and smear it on it, we can indeed deceive most wizards."
"No problem, we can help."
At this time, the Battle Sisters also nodded. There are indeed many pebble-sized dimensional stone fragments in the dimensional stone they are responsible for sealing. To be honest, the Battle Sisters also have a headache for these fragments. Just throw it away, there are hidden dangers.
But when it comes to sealing it up, it's a bit wasteful. It's better to grind it into powder like this and then apply it on the stone to disguise it, which is somewhat useful.
By the way, from the beginning to the end, these people felt that there was nothing wrong with this, and did not think that there was anything wrong with their behavior of bullying the emperor. This shows that the emperor, the eldest prince, really has no sense of existence.
Soon, everyone also made a decision. The battle nuns in the monastery would be responsible for completing this matter. After all, if soldiers were to do it, the secrets would inevitably be leaked. But the battle nuns were different. They were capable enough.
, and the position is firm enough, and there is no need to worry about the secret being leaked. And originally, after the dimension stones were collected, they were handed over to the monastery for sealing, which is natural.
But the only problem is that once the incident comes to light, the Rock Monastery will immediately become lost to the public.
But... the revelation of the incident also means that the eldest prince really wants to do something with the dimension stone.
At that time, Duanmu Huai can ask him to sing a hymn of loyalty.
After solving this problem, General Pastor had only one worry left.
That is...the believers of the violent god.
According to the prophet's description, the believers of the God of Violence have now used the remains of the paladin to set up a barrier in the military camp. Once fighting inside, whoever dies will increase the opponent's strength, eventually opening a channel.
The passage to the demonic realm.
But it is impossible for them to avoid the war, because the barrier will gradually expand. Do they have to leave Mordheim completely?
"This is not a problem."
Compared to General Pastor's worries, Duanmuhuai seemed very calm.
"I will solve it myself. Then we will go together and take down those Chaos believers completely!"
Before the change, Duanmu Huai might have been a bit tricky. But it's different now. He has gravity gloves! Instead of using them for fighting, wouldn't it be possible to just demolish the house?
