Valyrian's expression was stern.
Nothing, no force could stop him from bringing his Creator back to Terra.
Miaoying said no more, her beautiful gem-like eyes reflecting the bustling night scene of Weijing.
Weijing can definitely be said to be the most prosperous city in Zhendan.
Even though it was already late at night, the streets of Weijing were still bustling with people.
All the open shops along the way hang various lanterns.
The store is filled with numerous candlesticks or some expensively purchased lighting plates to ensure that customers can see clearly.
The vendors on the food street are shouting non-stop, and the aroma of various grilled meats, pancakes, and buns wafts for miles, making people drool.
In the roadside shops, people sell silk, glassware, spices, medicinal herbs, and even creations of various Yin-Yang wizards, Si Tianjian and other extraordinary beings.
Various jugglers were beating gongs and drums.
He shouted loudly that if he had money, he could show his support with money, and if he didn't have money, he could show his presence, and he showed off his skills in front of a large audience.
Fire breathing, juggling, street magic, and more.
Valerian also looked at the prosperous Weijing. The ruler who could create such a city in an era of backward technology was far more skilled than the nobles he had met before.
The Dragon Emperor is not from this world.
According to modern terms, he should be an alien, or a more fashionable term is a time traveler.
The Dragon Emperor came earlier than the Ancient Sages.
But he has always been very careful to hide his tracks to avoid trouble.
It was not until the ancient saints appeared and transformed the world, and humans emerged, that he transformed into a human form and summoned those tribes to gather around him.
When the star gate collapsed and chaos descended, he organized people to build Zhendan Changyuan, used magic, high walls and terracotta warriors to keep chaos out, and established Zhendan.
Although he is the king of a country, he is not as vulgar and scheming as ordinary nobles.
He has no attachment to worldly power.
Immersing himself in the High Heavens, he tried to absorb more power in order to fight against the evil chaos.
The Dragon Emperor is not keen on women.
He had only one wife, the Moon Queen.
The Moon Queen is gentle, kind and beautiful, and there is no bloody drama of competing for favor in the harem.
Valyrian was a scholar.
Many kings from ancient times to the present have ruined their own rule because of their obsession with beauty.
Although there were several princes and princesses, they were relatively harmonious with each other and did not fight for power.
The Dragon Emperor and the Moon Queen possess immortal bodies of dragon gods.
They are not like kings, but more like mentors and protectors of the Zhendan people.
The couple had nine sons, two of whom were missing and one sank into the Longjiang River in northern Zhendan, causing the river to have the strange ability to carry away souls, forming the northern defense line together with Zhendan Changyuan.
There is a missing dragon son who is said to have been killed by the God of Destruction.
The remaining five dragon sons guarded various places in Zhendan.
The overall situation of Zhendan is quite good. Under the management of the Dragon Emperor and the Moon Queen, it is very prosperous.
But the problems are also huge. The bureaucracy is complex, the political struggle is very fierce, and the classes are rigid. Ordinary people are basically destined to be ordinary people.
The Dragon Emperor and the Moon Queen had no objection to joining the empire.
They were not willing to talk in detail about their experiences in the other world.
The only thing we know is that the world where the Dragon Emperor lived before has been corrupted by chaos, and his people were either killed or captured. Only a few dragons managed to escape.
The Dragon Emperor and the Moon Queen finally arrived in this world after going through a lot of hardships.
They are very afraid of chaos.
The ultimate preparation was made long ago.
Over the years, they have been building treasure ships and searching for other worlds.
If Zhendan fell, he would take the treasure ship fleet to help some of the people escape.
Valerian had considered carefully that if he were in the Dragon Emperor's position, he would not be able to do better than him.
Some people with little knowledge would think that the reason why Zhendan was prosperous is that they had no strong enemies in their area, which allowed them to maintain their prosperity.
This conclusion is extremely absurd.
To the north of Zhendan is the Chaos Wasteland, facing the invasion of Chaos humans. Large numbers of barbarians come over from the prairie every once in a while.
In addition to the barbarians who believe in gods, there are also forces such as the Earth Elf Khanate on the prairie.
The Hobgoblin Khanate can be said to be the largest and most powerful greenskin force in the world.
There is a terrifying rumor that there are more than ten thousand Giant Wolf Cavalry who are invincible.
To the west, it is connected to the Mourning Mountains, the Dimensional Desert, and the Meteorite Mouth, where the Ogre Kingdom is located.
To the south is a mysterious jungle where the lost city of the ancient saints lies.
To the east is the sea, and Nibon, where pirates are rife, is just across the sea. Every once in a while, the dark elves and Nibon warriors will gather as pirates and go ashore to plunder.
The dangers faced by Zhendan are no less than those faced by Western countries.
But they still built a prosperous country, mostly due to the efforts of the Dragon Emperor.
The centralized system prevents them from internal friction and allows them to concentrate their efforts on dealing with various threats.
Compared with the political struggles between electors in Western countries and between countries, it is much better.
The Dragon Emperor and the Moon Queen had little objection to joining the Human Empire and accepting the rule of the Holy Emperor.
Valerian could even see that they might be expecting something.
It seems that ruling such a country is not a success for them, but a burden.
Maybe it really is a burden.
Only greedy and selfish people think that being in a high position is a success.
Those who care about justice and the people of common good see endless responsibilities that are enough to crush them.
... ... ... .
... ... ... ... ... .
A hovercraft with the imperial double-headed eagle emblem was sailing above the clouds.
The dancing light from the runes reflected on the heavy clouds.
Fix stood at the bow of the ship and looked out at the sea of clouds. Above it was the spotless, velvety black night sky.
If you look up, you can see two moons embedded in the dark night sky and shining stars.
Some astrology practitioners believe that everything in the world is connected.
The changes of the stars in the sky will also affect the fate of the world.
Fix knew nothing of astrology; he stood on the bow deck and watched the rolling clouds.
His eyesight is very good and he only needs a small amount of light to see clearly.
During this period of time, their team has been running around.
In addition to exterminating the remaining forces of the Ratman Empire, they also raided those opponents, captured their leaders, and dismantled their resistance to the empire.
The many Chaos sects have recently found a new propaganda outlet.
They presented themselves as heroes fighting against invaders, tricking ignorant mortals into taking up arms against the Empire.
Those terrible demons and minions of evil gods suddenly transformed into fearless warriors fighting against the human empire.
I have to say this is a very ironic thing.
What’s even more ironic is that many people still buy into this.
It was as if as long as it was related to the country, anything those demons had ever done was worth forgiving.
No matter how terrible the crime is, it is permitted.
Some even glorify the terrible deeds of those demons in the past.
Fix and others had to run around to execute those guys who spread evil words to confuse the public.
Heavy footsteps were heard.
The short and stocky Gotrek came out of the cabin in casual clothes.
"Damn, that Theresa guy must have cheated. I lost all my money to him."
Fix glanced at Gotrek.
"I've told you many times that your card skills are not as good as Theresa's. He can always figure out what cards are left and choose an ending that is to his advantage."
"Are you saying I'm too stupid?"
Gotrek was somewhat dissatisfied.
Fix assessed the possibility that the other party would transfer his anger to himself, and decisively chose to stop talking.
"It's so infuriating. I will find a way to win all my money back. His card skills are great, but I can compete with him in other things." Gotrek stood by the side of the ship, his tone revealing a hint of cunning rarely seen among dwarves.
Fix did not respond, leaving Gotrek talking to himself, immersed in the scenery of the sky and trying to complete his poem.
A big part of the reason why he went on adventures with Gotrek before was that he wanted to complete his poetry among the adventurers.
Fix had studied at Adolphus University before the light of the Holy Emperor shone upon the world.
Adolf University is definitely one of the best universities in the world.
The things taught in it are things that only upper-class people can learn.
Fix completed his swordsmanship and studies there, but unfortunately he did not get a diploma.
The reason was that he had seriously injured a classmate in a duel, and as a result, he was expelled from Adolf University.
"Today is not a good day for blowing wind." Woody's voice sounded.
He wore a uniform with the imperial double-headed eagle emblem and a sword hung at his waist.
"Tonight is a mysterious night. The second moon made of warp stone will weaken the veil between reality and illusion, allowing those evil forces to overflow."
Udi walked up to Fix and Gotrek and looked up at the sky, where the light of two moons was reflected in the twin stars.
The Empire has long since explored the size and structure of the entire world.
There are two moons orbiting this world.
One of the moons is made of warpstone, and that's the one the Skaven have been trying to pull down.
The two moons form a wonderful celestial gravitational field, coupled with the special amplification of the dimensional stone.
Whenever the three celestial bodies reach a certain balance, the veil between reality and illusion weakens.
This causes the energy of the subspace to pour out, resulting in a mysterious night with frequent strange phenomena.
On this night, people often hide in their houses and pray for protection from the gods they believe in.
Beastmen, Chaos Evils, Wraiths and all kinds of weird, unusual and dirty things will become unusually active.
"Let them out. I don't mind. I'll welcome everyone." Gotrek waved his fists, wanting to use his axe to hit a few unlucky guys and let them know the consequences of provoking Master Gotrek.
Fix looked at Gotrek, who was looking for the unlucky one after losing money, shook his head and looked at Woody.
"What is our mission this time?"
"The most notorious Grey Prophet who hunts ratmen, Tsanquilo," Udi said nonchalantly. "The Ratman Council has been completely destroyed by us. Most of the ratman clans have fallen into division and infighting, and are unable to resist the encirclement and massacre of humans. With time, we can completely eliminate the hidden danger of the ratmen. But we learned from some captives that the Grey Prophets led by Tsanquilo tried to use a massive sacrifice to make the incarnation of the Horned Rat descend."
"They can't do it. The price to pay for the incarnation of a Chaos God is unimaginable." Fix shook his head and said, "If it were possible, the ratmen would have done it before. There's no need to wait until now."
"They really can't afford the price of sacrifice, but the intelligence says that they have reached an agreement with the oldest and most evil necromancer, Nagash. As long as they release him, the other party will help them. The sages of the empire have evaluated this intelligence and found that the veil of this world is not strong. If they can get some amplification, the ratmen have a certain chance of letting the incarnation of the Great Horned Rat descend."
"The arrival of an incarnation of a Chaos God will cause great damage to the laws of the real world and even cause the entire world to disintegrate. We must stop them."
"Nagash." Gotrek repeated the name mentioned by Udi.
Dwarves have a long lifespan, but Gotrek is not a dwarf who is keen on learning.
His brain is all muscle.
It would be too difficult for him to understand a guy who had been dead for who knows how long.
Fix had heard something about it.
When the Sigma Empire was first established, a terrible undead crisis broke out.
The guy who started this crisis was Nagash.
The new empire came within a hair's breadth of collapse.
Emperor Sigmar led his human army to kill Nagash's undead army.
In the final battle, Sigmar raised his hammer and smashed Nagash's head.
Nagash was driven back.
Emperor Sigmar was also left with irreparable wounds, making it impossible for him to ever regain his former strength.
It is said that the reason why Emperor Sigmar left quietly was because of that decisive battle. He needed to find his peak strength again to fight against the predicted end.
Fix was about to ask something else.
But Woody spoke first.
"Put on your armor and pick up your weapons, we're almost there." Woody pointed to the horizon.
A black pyramid emitting green light is suspended at the end of the horizon.
Even from a distance, one can still feel the evil and terrifying aura.
What they are about to face is the most powerful necromancer in human history, the author of the Nine Volumes of Nagash, who once ruled the entire world by himself and enslaved many terrible units such as vampires, the Lord of Terror, and the Undead.
The Lord of the Undead has some understanding of the nature of the gods thanks to the magic of the Eight Winds, but he has not gone crazy.
If he had not been backstabbed, Nagash would have had a great chance of becoming a Chaos God with unlimited potential.
