Warhammer: Dark Elf

At dawn on the third day, the victorious Hemer led his army through the Hesiota region and entered the familiar northern part of the Isthmus of Lustria.

Pattering rain curtains fell from the lead-colored sky, and the army that was caught off guard was soaked. The stern soldiers on both sides escorted the prisoners through the muddy ground. Helmer was riding on a dark horse with a dark side, covered in armor and My half-wet shoulders felt a little uncomfortable. Looking past the slanting rain curtain, I could vaguely see the giant pyramid as high as the sky in the distance.

The light and shadow of the early morning rushed over with the wind, and the cold wind blew, refreshing the chill. Alleria rode another smaller horse and came closer. Seeing Hermo quietly lost in thought, she asked in a gentle voice: "What are you thinking about?"

Humer withdrew his gaze and raised the corners of his lips, "I was wondering when the prison boss would take me to Esota Maha Prison and torture me."

"Who is the cell leader?"

"Your uncle Eltharion?"

Alleria: ....

I don't know what my uncle would think if the watchman was called the cell leader.

"Why did uncle want to arrest you?"

"If he knew you fell into my hands, why wouldn't he skin me? After all, I now have a claim to the Kingdom of Iris, right?"

Alleria smiled, "Seriously."

Helmer turned his gaze to the Sun City in the rainstorm, and his expression returned to seriousness, "I'm thinking about Lustria."

"Although Lustria is in chaos now, all parties have reached a dynamic balance. With Mazdamudi here, there will be no competition for a winner in the short term."

"It's like a powder keg placed under the rain. It's still too difficult for me to detonate it with just one fire."

"Lustria is a deadlock that cannot be broken. Unless Mazdamudi drops his stance and accepts my alliance for the first time, no one can get involved here."

"Let's go, our future plans are not here."

Helmer seemed to be telling Alleria, but in fact he was also comforting himself.

If the rich Lustria was not really unattainable, Hemo would definitely use conspiracy, plotting, overt and covert methods to get hold of it.

But things don't go as planned, and there will always be times when things don't go as planned. Even with great ambitions, you have to make compromises in the face of reality.

Alleria nodded in understanding, and the two of them walked side by side, shuttled between the marching teams, and arrived at the Lost Gate in the rain forest in the afternoon.

After the war, the statistician counted the spoils of the robbery, which included more than 20,000 gold coins, various commodities with a total value of 10,000 gold coins, and 4,000 human slaves.

Hemo already had plans for what to do with these four thousand humans.

There is no shortage of slaves in Ironthorn Town now, and the number of slave rats is oversaturated.

The rats sent there were extremely prolific, and in a short period of time the rat population had reached close to three thousand. This was still under deliberate control.

The Lost Gate, which is currently being rebuilt, is short of people.

The local lizard-human spirit realm tribe had just been liberated. The original base number plus the newly hatched new tribesmen were less than 2,000. The arrival of this group of humans could greatly relieve the pressure on infrastructure.

With his previous management experience, Helmer ordered the captured humans to be classified and registered, so that things can be put to their best use and people can make the best use of them.

Several long lines lined up in the wide central square of the Lost Gate, where the humans of Swamp Town would register and settle down, completely becoming a member of the Lost Gate.

In the registration office in the middle, a Dread Spearman captain is holding a pen and filling out a form in the registration book.

Without raising his head, he asked the person's name, age and other basic information. After registering them one by one, the tip of his pen landed on the last column: specialties and development direction.

"What's your specialty?"

Across the table stood a tall man with a sinewy face and a beard. When he was asked what his specialty was, he choked on the spot. He scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and said, "Well... I'm a pirate... .”

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, the captain of the Dread Spearman's eyes flashed with gold, "Pirates are good, this profession has a future." He conveniently filled in the specialty column with a high-level talent, development direction, human auxiliary army.

"Go and help build the house first, do your job well, and I'll take you with me next time I go out to rob."

Professional counterpart belongs to yes. The big man nodded like garlic and left happily.

Behind him was an aunt. After giving her basic information, she was asked about her specialties. She rubbed her hands and said coyly, "Sir, I am a good pig raiser in Swamp Town. I can raise any piglets for free." Fatty.”

"Good at raising pigs?"

The captain was in trouble, thinking that we Druchi rarely raise such smelly things. After thinking about it for a long time, he finally filled in the development direction column and said that he was a professional breeder of cold lizards.

Although there are cold lizards in the Fallen Gate, the local lizardmen keep them free-range, which is different from their Druchi way of raising them.

Ironthorn Town should also need breeders.

"My lord will lead the army back to Iron Thorn Town in a few days. Please pay attention to follow the team and go to Iron Thorn Town to raise cold lizards."

"Sir, I don't know how to raise cold lizards..."

"A pig has four hooves and a tail, and a cold lizard has four claws and a tail. No matter how you raise it, you are not raising it."

After hearing what the captain said, the aunt thought it was quite reasonable. Although she was uneasy, she still followed the suggestion.

More than a dozen teams registered at the same time, and it took nearly a week to classify all humans according to their specialties. Most of them were ordinary people, who were left by Hemo to work on infrastructure at the Lost Gate.

The rainforest of the Lost Gate is rich in spices. This expensive seasoning bottle is an excellent trade item. Hemer left these humans behind to develop the spice industry.

Other talents such as blacksmiths, tanners, etc. were placed in Iron Thorn Town and used their maximum manpower and material resources to develop the local economy.

After handling the military affairs of the Lost Gate, Helmer took Anzares as the governor and took over the local military affairs.

Kesir had other plans to stay with him. Although Anzarez was taciturn, he was loyal to him, so he felt most at ease with Hemo staying like this.

A week later, Hemer led the main force of the elves northward through the mountain passes of the Titan Mountains and returned to his loyal town of Ironthorn.

Returning to the lord's manor, the first thing Helmer did was to build a temple to suppress the corruption of Chaos.

Kane's temple was demolished by him at the midnight of death. Ironthorn Town lost the temple that can purify and corrode. There will be no clues in a short time, but if this continues, sooner or later it will be corroded by the all-pervasive chaos.

Fortunately, within a few months, Hemo did not wait for Malekith's punishment, and the Human Witch King paid no attention to his petty troubles in the town.

After destroying the temple of Khaine, Hemer began to consider choosing one of the elven gods to build his temple.

There are currently four main gods of the dark elves. Kane is the bloody-hand god. Kane is the god of war, murder, hatred and destruction that the elves believe in. However, Hemer had just demolished his temple, which naturally excluded this little Khorne.

Next is Hecate, the goddess of black magic, the only temple dedicated to her is in Nagarond.

Then there is the pleasure sect that Morathi admires, and the goddess of indulgence Assati who believes in it. Hemer skipped it directly.

Matheran, Lord of the Abyss, is a fickle god whom many Ulthuan elves distrust. He is the king of storms and oceans, believed by the Black Ark pirates.

The above four gods all need to be sacrificed with flesh and blood, which is not in line with Hemo's wishes.

If a god cannot bless his followers without tribute, then it’s okay to not believe in such a god.

After excluding the current four favorites, Hemer set his sights on the remaining gods.

One, Loic-Shadow Dancer.

He is also the god of shadows, deception, revenge and dark deeds. The elves of Nagaryth worship Loic because they seek vengeance through stealth and darkness.

The god that the Shadow King believes in is not very popular among the dark elves.

Hoth - Lord of Wisdom

Hoth is the personification of erudition and the patron saint of all those who seek more knowledge and greater understanding.

To ask the dark elves, a group of butchers who like to kill, to believe in Hoth is tantamount to declaring Kane a heretic. Helmer made a cross in his heart for the God of Water Meters.

Elsa, Mother Goddess

Elsa was the goddess of nature, and she was the first spirit to teach the elves how to care for the land and achieve a good harvest. Her image is usually described as a beautiful and energetic female elf, and she is also regarded as the mother of all elves. It was Elsa who gave the Everqueen wisdom, beauty, and strength, and she also kept the woodlands of Avalon spring-like all year round.

Kunos - God of Hunting

The hunting god Kunos is the master of forests and wild beasts; the soul incarnation of primeval forests, wild animals and traceless wilderness. He is Elsa's husband and the father of all elves. Wherever Kunos went, he was followed by a pack of barking hounds, and when he blew his horn, the wildness followed him, filling his heart with infinite joy.

The above two are the main gods of the wood elves' belief, and the dark elves are not very interested in them.

Asuryan-the Creator

The symbol of Asuryan is the legendary fire bird - the phoenix. He is the God-King of Heaven, the oldest and greatest of all gods. He is the Creator, and in His hands is the eternal flame that gives life to all things.

Although he seems to be crazy, unfortunately he is not very interested in mortal affairs, and even lost contact with him when the final moment came.

If he could pay even a little attention to the believers, Hemer would choose Him.

Then there is Lilith - the goddess of maidens, the radiant embodiment of purity. She is the goddess of dreams and destiny. She is extremely kind to the elves, but unfortunately she is too capable of causing trouble. She is even called a god from the Chaos camp.

Helmer really didn't have a good impression of this god of trouble.

The other gods, such as the God of Forging Val, the Pale Queen Erth-Haiai, the old woman Mora'ig Heg, etc. were all rejected by Hemer. In the end, he settled on the most mysterious, but They also pay more attention to the gods of believers.

God of Mists, Radlili.

Radlili is the patron goddess of all hidden and lost things, as well as the patron saint of explorers in the wild. According to legend, she is the goddess who has been in contact with the mortal world for the longest time. Many stories record her appearing and helping unfortunate travelers in the Mist of Yris and the boundless ocean.

Radlili's face is forever hidden by a veil, and many elves claim that she is the most beautiful of the goddesses.

Hemer chose her for three reasons: she is mysterious but friendly to believers. He is widely accepted among the elves, and finally, he is praised for his incredible appearance. If he builds Radlili's temple, people will show up.

After finalizing the gods, Helmer immediately ordered the construction of Radlili's temple to suppress the corruption of Chaos that could invade at any time.
