Your war hammer is too fake

Just when the Jiedushi was thinking about how to "deal with" Constantine and his people quietly and disguise the incident as an accident, Bing Ruolan suddenly found her.

“That half-bald guy… that crazy guy…” Xiugenqing grabbed the Jiedushi’s sleeve with tears in his eyes, and it seemed that he might burst into tears at any time, “He actually preached to me! He actually tried to convince me to believe in Ersun!!”

An Jiyue: "..."

To some extent, this is indeed an alternative way to solve the problem of the coalition's command, the girl thought. She calmly pulled back her sleeves and patted Bing Ruolan's shoulder seriously: "How about giving it a try?"

"<Dragonborn curse>! Not to mention that I am a Zhendan, even if I want to believe, I should at least believe in a more powerful god. Why should I believe in such a weak chicken god who can be caught and imprisoned for play?!" Bing Ruolan scratched her head frantically, her black hair almost turned into a mess: "Do I really want to go to Howling Castle with this guy?!"

"It looks like this." An Jiyue took a step back and said, "I should leave now. Good luck to you."

After saying that, An Jiyue directly activated the [Earth Escape Technique] and fled from the scene.

The author says:

Author's words: PS: I took some time to read the recent posts, and I would like to thank the reader "口胡伊" for his answer.

In fact, the plot in this CG belongs to the classic plot of Warhammer. As I mentioned in the previous chapter, these parents are not really unaware of the consequences of their actions. Some things cannot be done. They can't watch their children being burned to death by witch hunters, and this is the result.

Chapter 131: Journey (Part 1)

An Jiyue was so disloyal that she left Bing Ruolan behind and ran away...

The Jiedushi rode on a cloud, bringing with him a team of swordsmen, two teams of Yulin Guards, two teams of cavalrymen, and a hundred odd jobs, and flew eastward. After leaving behind most of the troops brought from Xuanshui, An Jiyue successfully reduced the number of his entourage to 600 people, and was finally able to use [Ride the Clouds and Mists] for rapid maneuvers.

Even for her, it would be quite troublesome to fly with 2,000 or more people. It's not that it's impossible, but if you want to take so many people at once, you have to open an altar to perform a ritual, or use the power of the Jiuzhou barrier to assist in casting spells in a place that can be covered by the Jiuzhou barrier. Under normal circumstances, An Jiyue usually only takes a few hundred people when flying.

After departing from Praag, An Jiyue saw Vosgrad not long after flying. This border town adjacent to the Daheris Forest is the first stop for trade caravans that choose to take the northern route on the Ivory Road when they arrive in the Old World. Trade brings endless wealth, and Vosgrad is almost the most prosperous town in Kislev that An Jiyue has seen. Even after the Kingdom of Kislev was frozen for two whole years, the residents here are still bustling and full of vitality.

An Jiyue slowly lowered the flight altitude and landed in front of the gate of Vosgrad. After showing the token and pass given by Prince Belov, the locals hesitantly opened the city gate.

They couldn't help but hesitate. The Kislevites had never seen a scene of six hundred living people falling from the sky, and even in the most absurd legends, such a plot had never appeared. Whether local residents or foreign merchants from afar, people gathered in the various high spudas in the town and talked about the arrival of the Zhendan people.

The girl didn't care what these people were thinking, and she didn't plan to stay here. She actually came to hire a guide. Although Dustan, who was traveling with her, said that he could use astrology to tell the exact location of Devingard, the girl just rolled her eyes at the wizard and said, "Let me remind you that this place is not far from the Chaos Wasteland. Do you dare to believe your divination results? Even I don't."

After handing over a few shiny yellow croakers, Boye, who ruled this place, instantly became An Jiyue's closest friend. He not only allowed the Aurora people to post recruitment notices outside the city hall, but also sent his men to loudly promote along every street and alley, and by the way drove away those scumbags who wanted to try their luck after hearing about the sky-high commissions offered by the Aurora people. Well, letting the locals help to check was actually An Jiyue's main purpose.

If you accidentally hire an unreliable guide, the money is just a small matter, but the time wasted is a big problem.

An Jiyue waited for almost a whole day at the town hall of Vosgrad before finally getting a guide who was willing to take her to Derwengard. As an enclave of the Ice Kingdom close to the Chaos Wasteland, many Kislevites have heard of Derwengard, but few know its exact location. Even fewer have actually been to this place and know the way.

The applicant was a disabled man, an old man who had lost both legs. According to him, he was an armored Cossa in his youth and had been stationed in Devingard. He lost both legs in a battle with the Kurgan cavalry. His boyar was a kind man, so he gave him some money and sent him to Vosgrad.

As soon as they met, the old man told An Jiyue that he didn't want money, but hoped that An Jiyue could heal his legs. He had heard that some southern wizards could regenerate broken limbs (Note 1); if An Jiyue couldn't do it, then he hoped that An Jiyue would pay the commission to the Saliah Temple in Vosgrad. As for himself, he just wanted a meal.

The girl healed his leg and sent the money for hiring a guide to the temple. For An Jiyue, it was hard to watch a soldier who had fought to defend his country become destitute, while she was able to help but did nothing. The old man who called himself "Boris" reminded her of her grandfather who had served as a volunteer soldier and fought desperately with the Anglo-Saxon gang in the snow on the Gema Plateau...

A cloud like a giant cotton candy rose into the sky and flew eastwards into the night. It was already late at night when the group flew over the Daheris Forest. An Jiyue controlled the cloud to land gently on an open space. To the west of the landing point was an endless gloomy forest, and to the east was the World's Edge Mountains rising from the ground. This was already the edge of Kislev's traditional territory. Further east was a high mountain pass covered with ice and snow all year round, and Karak Solitude was located near the eastern exit of the pass.

This is a completely disappeared dwarven stronghold, and it is also the northernmost Karak besides the Norse Dwarves and Doomhold. Two hundred years ago, the former Everchosen Asava Kul invaded the Old World. Although Lonely City put up a tenacious resistance, it eventually sank in the darkness that surged like a tide. After the war, the dwarves sent rangers to investigate the local area, but all traces that could prove that Lonely City had ever existed disappeared.

In addition to Solitude, there is another dwarf stronghold in the High Mountain Pass area, Karaz Cliff Hollow Outpost. It is not a proper fortress, but a dwarf town. In a certain Total War, this dwarf stronghold only appears in the Chaos Realm map, Solitude is in the west and it is in the east; but in fact, Solitude is in the south of High Mountain Pass, and Cliff Hollow Outpost is in the north of High Mountain Pass.

Compared to the Lonely City, where not even a scrap was left, Cliff Cave Outpost had persisted tenaciously until the eve of the End. On the way to Devingard, An Jiyue was going to this dwarf stronghold for the last supply... and by the way, to strengthen their defenses or something.

[Group leader #An Jiyue: I will be able to reach the Cliff Cave Post tomorrow. How are your preparations going? ]

[Barrel o Magic Hammer: One thousand recasters are ready and can be dispatched at any time. ]

As long as there are dwarves living in a place, even in the community of the imperial dwarves, there must be a temple dedicated to the ancestor god. These temples are large and small, but as long as there is a dwarf priest present, they can be used as a delivery terminal for the recaster. Even if there is no priest, An Jiyue can perform the guidance ceremony herself, even though she is not only not a priest of the ancestor god, but not even a dwarf.

The Zhendan people built a temporary camp while yawning, and rested there for a night. The next morning, the Zhendan people got up in a hurry after only sleeping for four hours, and set off after breakfast. From here on, it was Boris' turn - this name always made An Jiyue feel like a thorn stuck in her throat - to show the way for the Zhendan people.

The mountain pass was a dotted line on the map, but in reality it was the sum of many forked roads. Boris told An Jiyue that if they walked on the ground, they had to be very careful and strictly prohibited the use of any open flames, because...

"I know, snow monsters," the girl waved her hand. "The heat will attract snow monsters. For caravans and travelers, these big furry creatures are quite difficult to deal with in the cold environment of the high mountain pass."

Boris looked choked. “You are as learned as they say, sir.”

No matter how many times An Jiyue corrected him, Boris always insisted on calling her "Master". This former armored Cossa, who came from a poor family, valued hierarchy just like most humans in this world. In addition to An Jiyue, Boris also called Dustan "Master" because the mage mentioned that he had a territory when introducing himself.

The mountain passes are home to an unknown number of yeti tribes. Distant cousins ​​of the ogres, the yetis originated in the Mountains of Mourning and have spread over the ages to the northernmost reaches of the World's Edge Mountains. Compared to their fatter cousins, the yetis have little fat on their bodies, and are covered in a thick layer of white fur. They are fast and agile, and have a perpetual aura of supernatural cold around them. Compared to the ogres, the yetis are more savage and extremely afraid of fire.

Of course, all of the above has nothing to do with the Zhendan people, after all, they don't walk on the ground.

Even after decades, Boris still remembers this road that he has walked dozens of times. For him, overlooking the earth from the sky is a new experience. The old man must spend more time to identify the terrain and then provide reference opinions when An Jiyue plans the flight route.

"So," An Jiyue looked at the old man from Kislev, "you've been to Cliff Cave Post?"

"I've been there several times before, sir. The dwarfs have a strong drink," Boris smacked his lips unconsciously. "I know how to get there. My drinking buddies should still be alive, if they haven't been killed by the various dangers of the mountains."

……

Note 1: In the setting, the healing power of life magic is very strong. Not to mention that some parts are missing from the body, even people who have just died can be resurrected, and in batches; however, in the actual plot, even an elector like Boris Todbringer can only be a one-eyed dragon for the rest of his life after one of his eyes is poked out by a beast king. Here I decided to compromise. Mass resurrection is indeed too exaggerated, but limb/organ regeneration is still possible.

Chapter 132: Journey (Part 2)

The next afternoon, the Zhendan people arrived at Yaku Sentry Post.

Cliff Cave Post is a typical dwarf stronghold. The local residents mainly rely on farming and grazing for a living. They also provide shelter and supplies to the caravans and obtain various materials that are not produced locally from the latter. Since the fall of Lonely City, it is almost impossible to get support from the same tribe because it is thousands of miles away from the nearest fortress. The dwarves of Cliff Cave Post can only rely on their own strength to defend their homeland. This harsh living environment makes them stubborn even by dwarf standards.

Of course, although they are stubborn, Cliff Cave Post is not as "unyielding" as the Norse dwarves. Despite their remote location, they are not isolated from news - the regular return of the rotorcraft brought news that the reforged triangle was successfully activated and many ancestors returned to the world. The residents of Cliff Cave Post learned about this almost at the same time as their counterparts in the Gray Mountains.

As if it was a replay of the previous trip to the South, at the welcome party held for An Jiuyue, a group of white-bearded dwarf old men gathered around the girl and kept asking her to tell her about her trip to the South.

Meeting the ancestor god is the highest honor for the dwarves, and being entrusted with important tasks by the ancestor god is a great achievement that can be recorded in the history of the Mountain Kingdom. During An Jiyue's narration, the dwarves listened with fascination, and from time to time collectively exclaimed "Oh!!" When the girl finally talked about the battle of Plateau Castle being settled and she was ready to go to Silver Spring Town to deal with the trouble there, some short-bearded boys who were still unsatisfied started to make a fuss and asked to tell the story again, but were scolded on the spot by the long-bearded venerables.

"Watch your words!" the old men scolded, "Don't be disrespectful to the ladies!"

There were only a few hundred people in Cliff Cave Outpost, and all the residents belonged to the same clan. However, when An Jiyue got up the next day, they gathered a force of hundreds of people and took the initiative to ask to follow An Jiyue to Derwengard. The girl had to spend a lot of effort to appease these dwarves who were still immersed in the legendary stories. But no matter what she said, the stubborn dwarves insisted that they had an obligation to protect her, at least before An Jiyue finished her mission and returned to the south.

This scene made Boris a little nervous. Many dwarves from Cliff Cave had been to Dwengard to help the Kislev army there resist the threat from the north. If they also went with him... Fortunately, what he was worried about did not happen. An Jiyue did not let him stay in Cliff Cave or send him away.

"Thank you for your trust, sir," the old Kislev veteran tightly grasped his hat, the feather pinned on it could no longer be identified with its original color, "I have a reason to go to Dwengard. Yes, I have to go there... I have to..."

Boris was a man with a story, and An Jiyue realized this from the first moment she saw him. After using methods including but not limited to the Sky Eye to judge, the girl thought that she could basically rule out the possibility that there was something wrong with this guy - except for the Changeling Spirit and the Moon Queen Guiyin, there was no existence in this world that could deceive her detection (Note 1).

As for whether he would be lucky enough to meet the real spirit of transformation...

At present, this possibility cannot be ruled out, but the probability is not high. The most dangerous thing about the changeling is that it can change into anyone without any flaws, and no spell can detect it. The girl doesn't know whether the faceless man's telepathy can see through its disguise, and she thinks it probably can't.

Fortunately, since we had taken precautions in advance, the problem was not serious. The hard power of the changeling was rubbish, and this thing purely relied on perfect disguise to cause trouble.

More importantly, from the "plot" point of view, the changeling is indeed in the material world at this point in time, and is busy doing something big. The direction of this world has changed greatly. The girl is not sure whether the assassination of Ka Da Hammer's father Leopold will happen as scheduled, so she sent a Jinyiwei school marquis to Altdorf early on to wait. As long as Emperor Leopold is assassinated and the murderer cannot be caught, it means that the changeling is on the side of the empire.

An Jiyue actually considered whether to save Ka Dachui's father, but after thinking it over, she gave up. Aside from Woten (Note 2), who should not have been born at this point in time, Karl Franz is the only one who can become Sigma's human body. Originally, in the third battle of Blackfire Pass in history, Sigma was suspected to have descended on Karl once.

The time traveler should make use of the plot, but must not rely too much on it. It is not important to save Leopold or not. What is important is not to be bound by the fact that "Leopold was assassinated". Whether Leopold is dead or alive, it is actually irrelevant in the overall situation. From An Jiyue's point of view, as long as Karl is alive, the rest is nothing more than responding to the situation and going with the flow. Anyway, Karl has no other competitors except Boris Todbringer.

Judging from their ages, if Leopold had not been assassinated, the longer it took, the more advantage Carl would have. After figuring out all the details, An Jiyue remotely ordered Xuanshui to send more Jinyiwei field personnel to Altdorf, and ordered them to protect Carl in secret. In addition, the Aurora people did not need to and should not intervene.

[You have received new urgent information, please check it in time]

An Jiyue raised her eyebrows, and had a vague premonition. The Lord of the Holy Scripture and the system units under his command can communicate instantly through the mind network. This communication is two-way, but when the system units contact the Lord of the Holy Scripture, they will first send a text message to the Holy Scripture of War, and then the Lord of the Holy Scripture will decide whether to establish communication.

【What's the matter? 】

[Report to the commander, Leopold was assassinated and the assassin was not caught. ]

This is really "great", the girl thought. The emperor of the empire died, and according to convention, all ticket holders, including the electors, would go to the capital Altdorf to hold a meeting to elect a new emperor.

[Got it. Continue with the original mission and protect Carl at any cost.]

[Here! ]

Noticing the change in An Jiyue's expression, Dustan, who was standing next to her, asked, "What's wrong?"

"Leopold, the father of Emperor Ka, is dead. If nothing unexpected happens, Emperor Ka will be able to take the throne soon." There were swords and knives all around, so An Jiyue didn't have to worry about anything when she spoke. "We have to speed up our actions."

"As long as we take down Devingard, we will have a relatively stable source of points," the wizard consoled him, "As long as we have enough points, is there anything we can't do? If all else fails, we can just take the team to the Arctic for a spin!"

“I agree with the former, but forget about the latter,” the girl smiled and shook her head. “I really feel that we don’t have enough manpower right now. Barrel can’t move. Although the Faceless Ones are crippled, the Nest Clan is still there. Barrel must stay in Plateau Castle to keep an eye on these bugs. You and I can’t get away right now. It would be great if we could have another group member…”

[System message #Xiao Yiyue# joined the chat group]

An Jiyue: "?"

Dustan: "??? Damn it, you are really lucky!"

[Administrator #Xiao Yiyue: What’s going on? It seems that I have encountered a time-travel novel that comes with a built-in chat group? ]

[Group leader #An Jiyue: Hello, the current situation is roughly like this...]

An Jiyue briefly introduced the current situation. Not surprisingly, Xiao Yiyue was also a member of the penguin chat group called "Sons of a Thousand Pigeons" before she traveled through time. Like other masters of the Holy Scripture, she saw the mysterious link shared by others, and then filled out a form on the web simulator before traveling through time.

[Group owner #Anjiyue: Speaking of which, there are only a few female members in the group. Who are you among them? ]

[Administrator #Xiao Yiyue: Unfortunately, I chose the trait of advanced sex conversion, which is why I am now like this. ]

Dustan laughed out loud on the spot: "Good fellow, the group members who sacrificed Jill for the sake of strength are happy to add one, right?"

The girl glared at the guy fiercely.

[Group leader #Anjiyue: You can ask Barrel in private for more specifics. He is the only one who is relatively free right now. Listen to me, Yiyue, I have something I need you to do now. ]

[Administrator #Xiao Yiyue: Do we have to leave immediately? ]

[Group leader #An Jiyue: That's not the case. Take a rest for a night, get used to it, and then set off tomorrow. ]

……

Note 1: The four hawkers are not allowed to participate in the competition.

Note 2: Wotan's exact age is unknown, except that he had just reached adulthood at the beginning of The Last Days (and then he swung the Skullcrusher and smashed the skulls of a bunch of battle-hardened Chaos champions).

Chapter 133 Xiao Yiyue

Xiao Yiyue stood on the busy street, his eyes a little vague.

No matter where she is, a tall and beautiful girl with silver hair and red eyes is always eye-catching. Although her attributes seem to overlap with An Jiyue's, there are subtle differences in their hair and eye colors: An Jiyue's silver hair is pure silver, with a slightly white tone, while Xiao Yiyue's hair has a light blue gradient at the ends of her hair; their eye colors are also different, An Jiyue's is bright red like the finest ruby, while Xiao Yiyue's red pupils are slightly orange-yellow.

When passers-by saw Xiao Yiyue in a daze, they would often be stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly bend down and salute with their hands clasped.

"My Lord, I hope you are well!" they said.

Gongye… the unfamiliar name was like a switch, opening up the memories that had long been instilled into the brain. In just a moment, Xiao Yiyue “saw” the life of a Zhendan girl named Xiao Yiyue (Note 1).

Born in poverty, but with extraordinary talent, he was accepted as a closed disciple by the contemporary Northern Heavenly Master when he was young, and his magic and martial arts were unparalleled. He entered the court as an official at the age of 2.0, and at the age of he was already the governor of the Shuofang Army, establishing a government and guarding one side. Apart from a descendant of the Southern Heavenly Master who had a very similar experience, Xiao Yiyue was the most dazzling military star of the young generation of the Great Qin .

[Group leader #An Jiyue:? What the hell, I am the descendant of Nan Tianshi? ]

【Administrator #Xiao Yiyue: At least that’s how I remember it. 】

There are many schools of An's Zhendan supernatural, and the martial arts circle is particularly inward-looking; although the degree of involution in the alchemist circle is not as exaggerated because of the higher threshold, it is also full of factions. Among them, the semi-official North and South Tianshi Mansions are the two largest factions in the alchemist world. The most outstanding disciples of the contemporary era will follow the convention to serve as officials in the court.

One thing that must be pointed out is that the Northern and Southern Tianshi Houses are not separate schools. Both are alliances formed by multiple alchemist schools with a long history and deep roots, with the one with the highest prestige as the Tianshi. In An's Zhendan, Tianshi has never been the exclusive right of a family or surname. Any alchemist who is strong enough and obeys the court will be canonized as a Tianshi by the court. However, among all the Tianshi, only the Northern Tianshi and the Southern Tianshi are the most respected, and their status in the arena and treatment in the court are obviously higher than other Tianshi.

As the two largest halls in the world of alchemists, the true disciples of the Northern Heavenly Master and the Southern Heavenly Master will be granted the title of Duke of the country as long as they enter the officialdom. The specific title is determined by the person's ancestral home. Of course, this title is definitely not hereditary. For example, An Jiyue got her title of Duke of Wu in this way; and Xiao Yiyue's title is Duke of Ning. In addition, although the two have titles, they are not nobles.

[Group leader #An Jiyue: But since you and I are both from the An family's Aurora faction, then... do we want to unite? ]

【Administrator#Xiao Yiyue: OK. 】

After clicking "Yes" on the pop-up application for union, Xiao Yiyue found that the prompt message "Please deploy the main anchor point within 24 hours" disappeared. All the Lords of the Holy Scripture must deploy the main anchor point within 24 hours after the Holy Scripture of War is launched. After the main anchor point is deployed, the Lord of the Holy Scripture needs to deploy the initial city within 720 hours - the Holy Scripture of War did not say what the consequences of exceeding the deadline are, and the Lords of the Holy Scripture did not want to know this at all.

Now, both time limits have disappeared. The War Codex does not mention any penalties for union. After the union, Xiao Yiyue and An Jiyue share a main anchor point, and the former's original initial anchor point and city heart are still retained.

[Dustan O Falcon: Tsk, it's like earning two million points for nothing. ]

[Group leader #An Jiyue: Compared to that, I am more concerned about other things. For me, Dustan, and Barel, our war scriptures were not online until some time after we crossed over. I waited for a whole month, Dustan waited for a week, and Barel waited for only an hour. Yiyue was online as soon as she crossed over. ]

【Group leader #An Jiyue: I have a guess now. The time required for the War Codex to be online may be the time used for calibration. I suspect that Yi Yue's situation is normal. We may be due to some kind of interference caused by chaos, which caused the War Codex to be unable to be synchronized online when we crossed over. And the anchor point, why is there a time limit for the deployment of the main anchor point? If the deadline is exceeded, will the anchor point be unable to capture the correct space-time coordinates? 】

[Dustan O Falcon: That means that every time we deploy an additional anchor point, the newcomers can complete the calibration faster? There is no concept of space and time in the Chaos Realm, so this is the origin of the deployment time limit. ]

[Group leader #An Jiyue: I’m afraid that’s the case. ]

Xiao Yiyue looked at the messages scrolling in the chat group, and had no intention of speaking for the time being. She was still immersed in the trance and shock brought by the time travel itself, and had not recovered until a group of men and women came to her.

The visitor was a servant of the Ningguo Mansion. The patrolling bad guys saw Xiao Yiyue standing alone on the street in a daze, and informed the Ningguo Mansion of the matter. Amid the chattering of a group of old women and young maids, Xiao Yiyue turned over in a daze and rode on the mechanical horse brought by the guards, and came to her "home" with a large crowd of people following.

"Who's next door?" Xiao Yiyue asked casually while standing at the gate of Ningguo Mansion.

"It's Lord An's Wuguo Mansion," the maid with the most gorgeous jewelry answered, "but Lord An is away on a long journey. I heard he went to the territory of the Luosha barbarians in the north and won't be back for a while."

Luosha barbarians... Xiao Yiyue was stunned for a moment before she realized who she was talking about. She suddenly wanted to laugh, but she held it back.

Only after he sat down on the armchair in the study and sent away all the servants did Xiao Yiyue have time to reconnect to the chat group. In just a short while, the topic in the group had gone off the track.

An Jiyue sent a video, and when Xiao Yiyue opened it with his mind, he saw a group of golden light balls flying from the sky with afterimages, and falling into a heavy and simple temple. As soon as all the light balls landed, they turned into strong dwarves wearing bright golden armor and holding various weapons.

[Group leader #安朁月: They set off yesterday evening, flew all night, and arrived at noon today. ]
