Chapter 74 - Chapter 74: the beginning of war preparations

On the way back I glanced back to Gimli asking him I thought your uncle Grog was supposed to be the representative for your kingdom he side damn those senses of yours Hunter I was ordered not to say anything to you by my mother she wanted to see your reaction when it wasn't a man that stepped out but a woman she would act like she was Grog for a bit to see your reaction but it would seem she wont get to see that I side Gimli you know I don't like surprises nor do I liked to be played didn't you tell your mother that he side again his hand stroking his beard as he nodded yes I did but she simply laughed it off saying you wouldn't do anything to her she thought you wouldn't have the spine to do everything to an empress I snarled hearing that Gimli take the reins I am going to go talk with this foolish arrogant woman and I disappeared into the shadows Gimli immediately grabbed the reins he wanted to say something but I was already gone I appeared inside the dwarf carriage I was sitting a crossed from me was a beautiful dwarf woman with dark tan skin long gold hair and a beautiful red and black robs resting next to her was a war hammer that shinned from the sunlight coming in front the window there was many colorful colors reflecting off this hammer sense it was made out of a diamond how they got a diamond into a hammer shape and put powerful runes on it is simply a master rune scribing did it the woman was staring out the window she had a cold expression and her eyes was glossed over like she was thinking about a great many things but when I appeared in the chair opposite of her she snapped out if her thoughts her head quickly turning to me as her left hand grabbed her handle I could tell grabbing the hammer was subconsciously done I crossed my legs as I pulled off my helmet and placed it next to me saying I do wonder what you think about me now you thought I was a spineless coward who would what bow his head to you or follow your orders like a good dog but and I leaned forward as a huge toothy fanged smile spread across my face as I stared into those diamond blue eyes my eyes flickered slightly as I spoke so tell me miss what do you think of me know huh am I a spineless cowered the woman side as she let go of her hammer and looked back out the window it would seem everything my son wrote to me about you was right you and she looked into my eyes I seen no fear nor regret in those eyes he said you was a fearsome enemy but a very loyal friend he said you were fearless and very skilled in not just combat but commanding and leading people I chuckled leaning back nodding perhaps mam but I didn't ask for Gimli's opinions on me I asked for yours she chuckled shrugging from what I have seen you are a fearless man who protects his own your man respect you your friends love you and your enemies fear you as for the common people they both fear and respect you AzmoNekros not many people are both feared and respected but and she leaned back in her chair her eyes turning cold and I seen a bit of fear in them you have the ora of a dictator and one who would face gods to get what you want just being in your presence makes me tremble out of fear and I noticed she was trembling slightly but she was hiding it really well I laughed my presence and ora softening hearing her words a dictator huh I have been called many things but never that but out of all the things I have called that is probably the most accurate to describe me but who cares if I am or not I have never seen my self as a emperor or anything grand like that its strange and I looked out the window with a thoughtful expression I never wanted to be a hero or anything crazy like that all I wanted was to be come a smith and to know who my parents were and yet and I looked back to this woman shrugging I have had grand responsibilities thrust upon me, me a simple smith of all things its strange they say you never know what you was born to do till you try and do something either you was forced to do it or not it doesn't matter I was born to lead I was born to kill and slotter I was born to smith grand weapons of war I was born a child of two death gods i wasnt born a warrior but I became one of the best and most feared in my world I wasnt born a commander but when I lead my first army into battle against an army of Templar knights something awakened in me something that resonated so deep inside my soul I know I had found my calling but and my smile faded into a cold dark expression my eyes shining with ruthlessness and killing intent and in a cold powerful voice I continued to speak out of all the good I have done I have done a lot more bad I was born to be a killer the first time I killed someone a group of knight that tried to assassinate one of my sisters and me I didn't hesitate to kill them even when I had already cut the knight head off from one of them she had no weapon and just cuz she didn't surrender to me I killed her and didn't look back fuck I still to this day dont regret my action nor do I care to remember that knight name and as you can see mam I was born a monster in both of my lives at least in this life the outside reflects what's on the inside I am brutality honest straight to the point and dont give two fucks about peoples option of me but and my expression softened as I chuckled I truly dont need nor want to harm you miss I just wanted to tell you who you've  interning a peace treaty with and you and I looked up to the roof right above me at a practically shadowy part of this roof but I could peer into this shadow and I seen a well dressed old man pointing a boomstick at me this old man looked like a classic old butler gray beard and short gray hair black beedy eyes and white gloves the old man eyes want wide when I locked eyes with him I grinned up at him saying really mate you thought you could us the shadows to hide from a child of Hades haha the old man side and slowly emerged half of his body out from the shadow but he didn't lower his pistol but I didn't mind he had every right to be weary of me the man side and spoke in a deep voice child I had to try we have no idea who the fuck you are nor what your powers are the prince might vouch for you but he is still merely a child so his opinion but before he could speak the very shadows the man was hiding in tightly rapid around him like many small serpents one even wrapped around his throat which forced him to stop speaking my calm smile faded onto a cold frown as the shadows lowered this man into the seat next to the woman I noticed this man was neither a dwarf nor a elf he looked human but his presents definitely wasn't human it was more dwarf like so maybe a half dwarf that would explain his stone like skin and his strength I saw the sleeves of his suit stretching like they could explode at any moment do to his muscles flexing as he pushed against my shadows binds but sadly for him my shadow ropes was several times stronger then steal the old man glared at me when he noticed the boom stick he was pointing at me before well it was know in my hand pointing at him I chuckled darkly as I looked down at this pistol which had a porcelain white grip instead of wood the barrel was silver and shinny hell there was no nicks or anything on the damn thing it looked brand new I nodded a pretty peace but and I looked up at the man who was still struggling to get out of my shadow ropes but I shook my head placing the pistol in the chair opposite from him before glaring at him with a very cold ruthless expression as I hissed out I dont care what you say about me fucker but the next time you disrespect one of my friends in front of me again I will cut that disrespectful tongue out from your mouth and eat it in front of you ones more that is your crowned princes best you remember that old man both this man and the woman was shunned hearing my words and the woman leaned forward her eyes going sharp and I seen small sparks of lightning shoot across her eyes as she spoke you defend my son quite strongly tell me just who are you to my son and how do you know him it is obvious you have met him before but it definitely wasn't in this life I chuckled shrugging we are good friends and brothers in arms she nodded yes I new that already sir Azmo what I want to know is y my son would send me a message tell me he had signed a treaty with your tribe plus he defended you and put his own name and honor on the line tell me y my son the son of Thor would put so much faith in a child of two death gods it just don't make much sense I grinned at her saying Gimli and I go way back to our past lifes in this life Gimli seen me and my wife do many crazy things for our age Gimli has seen my wife and I star down a army that outnumbered us 10 to one and we charged at this army just to buy time for the people in our home to evacuate we charged a literal army just with the two of us and we bot enough time for all of our friends and others to escape and my wife and I survived that your son knows of everything that my wife and I have done that is y he trusts me so much plus there is this and I held up two fingers and two bolts of lightning sparked between them one black and one white when this happened the woman gasped and the old man face want pail and his eyes going wide Hell lightning the woman mumbled but how do you have that lightning I shrugged as I lowered my hand saying it was a gift from my uncle thor of course Uncle the woman yelled as she shot up onto her feet her and she kicked the door open before sticking her head out if the doorway yelling to Gimli son is it true did thor truly came this man as his nephew I didn't see Gimli reaction but I heard him chuckle before yelling back yes mom he did where do you think he got the white and black lightning from the woman immediately turned around and grabbed my shoulders and looked into my eyes with what could only describe as a motherly expression AzmoNekros I Era Stonewall the empress of the dwarfs accept your terms of the treaty ones more I extend a hand out to you to join my family as my adopted son do you expect I was slightly stunned hearing her words my mind raced with many different thoughts is this woman trying to adopt a me, the fuck me of all people a monster what in the hell is she crazy but I quickly cleared my thoughts and cleared my throat as I smiled warmly up at Era and shook my head miss I am truly honored you would want to adopt me but I and my tribe wont be staying in these lands for long ones are ranks grow and I thank we are ready we will leave to join my father and his war against the demons I have heard his territory is being his the hardest so he needs all the help he can get but and I stood up smiling down at this woman who had a sad worried expression but I took her hands into my own as I spoke this doesn't mean I wont  help family I already consider Gimli my brother so it wouldn't be very brotherly of me not to help his family and kingdom would it a beautiful smile spread across Era face thank you dear so what do you have planned for us I grinned releasing her hands and picked up my helmet shrugging we prepare for war even if the elves dont attack us we still got 5 human armies heading our way so we prepare with that I disappeared and reappeared on my chariot right when I did I heard Era yell we got fucking what coming towards us Gimli looked back to me smiling you my friend sure know how to get what you want you even tamed my eccentric mother you, womanizer I shrugged to bad for her I already have a wife he nodded yes, yes we know the two of them looked forward to see the white swan city meanwhile towards the southwest we find a army of over 1000 all riding on huge bull and hogs even some wolfs they was riding in a basic formation but you could tell they wasn't trained well if they was they would be riding in sink and people wont be falling off here beasts do to it stopping suddenly do to another best cutting them off hell even a few fights about broke out but when they did a ork with tattoos and wear bone armor broke it up these was the captions to this hoard these captions had a tattoo of a blood red bor head with a sword going through its head and there was a few black flags that had the same Bor simble on it at the head of this army was a woman ork in blood red boned spiked armor she was riding a huge red bear the only one in sight this bear was also decked out in spiked bone armor this ork had a huge tusks smile as she looked in front of her with her bright orange eyes that were glowing after a few seconds this glow faded and the woman chuckled and she whispered it would seem hubby is preparing for war I do wonder what he will think of my present to him hehehe bloodLayla laughed thinking about that thought dont worry husband I am on my way she mumbled her eyes burning with an intense fire as she saw the end of this barren wasteland which was similar to the wild west the land was made for buffalo it would work pretty good for cattle but definitely not for painting any crops do to how high they was above sea level but in front of this army was the end of a barren mountain below them was a huge green expense A rider moved next to Layla as they all stopped this rider looked similar to Layla just a bit younger sister what is the plan we can't keep this up for ever the man are already restless Layla happy smile turned into a cold ruthless frown Mick I do not care if they are feeling restless or not I gave them a chance to leave and most of them didn't so they joined my army as such they will follow my rules unless they wish to feel my rath is that understood the woman frowned slightly but nodded yes chief but do you truly think your husband is in these words ones more do you truly think he will except us Layla laughed he is here I can feel it as for either he will except us or not isn't a question he definitely will Mick side what makes you so sure sis you know how most races treat our kind how will he be any different Layla grinned back at her responding that's another simple answer him and his tribe are scaled ones the moment Layla said those words Micks eyes want wide you mean the cursed scaled ones the race they called the nagas that has almost been almost wiped out do to the other races hunting them to the point there is only a few very small tribes left that scaled one Layla nodded it would seem so tell me little sister do you know y the scaled ones and our race was slottered to the point we are at now Mick nodded yes sis the orks and the nagas both have superior strength compared to the rest of the races ones more both of our raced have a special ability ours is are rage and the ability to absorb the power from creatures we have killed wall the nagas have one ability but this one ability is to scary they can take the power of anything they eat plus legend say nagas had a second form but no one has seen nagas with that ability in thousands of years ones more nagas poison is the most deadliest poison in this world or at least one of the most deadliest there might be something better out there Layla nodded clapping her hands good job little sis I am proud of you but we should get moving Mick nodded but before they could move Layla seem something shining coming from in the land in the northwest and northeast Layla squinted her eyes as she pulled out a make shifted spyglass she pressed it to her eye when she did she got a closer look at what was shining when she did her face want pale and she lowered her hand stunned Templars she mumbled Mick was stunned seeing Layla like this she road next to Layla and placed a hand on her arm asking sister are you but before she could finish Layla screamed Templars this one word shook the air you could feel the rage and killing intent coming off from her Layla looked behind her her eyes glowing with a blood red fire as she yelled I do not care what you got to say if you follow me you will fallow my orders if you dont I will skin you alive and hang your body up for the wolfs anyone got a problem with that they all shook there heads fearfully Layla gralled what was that I couldn't hear you maybe you all want to be wolf food the army quickly yelled yes mam Layla nodded good we ride and we ride hard with that she kicked the sides of her bear it thundered down the mountain and headed north as she road a angry snarl spread across her face as she gralled Templars y the fuck are they here I thought this would would be different but no I got to deal with these fuckers again uggg by the gods y them the longer Layla road the deeper her frown got and the more rage full the blood red fire danced in her eyes I am on my way Hunter but we dont got much time maybe a mouth at best you better get that elf problem fixed and build up your ranks quickly but we might not make it in time he has no idea how close the human armies are I must warn him but how then she seen it a gold and white born owl with sharp gray eyes flying next to her Athena Layla mumbled the owl clicked its beak angrily what is it with you nekros's seeing through my transformation Layla shrugged I mean how many other barn owls look like that Athena clicked her beak again damn it that is the same answer he gave me basically O no matter it would seem you need some help and I am already heading that way do you wish for me to pass on a message to Him Layla nodded yes please warn him about the army and how close they are tell him its time to stop being nice its time the  death walker is reborn and lastly tell him I am coming with a wedding present I hope he has one for me also love BloodLayla Athena giggled wow girly you truly know what they boy likes a army over 1000 as a wedding president he will love it Layla nodded yes I know thank you miss Athena the owl winked saying no need the child intrigues me so see you soon and like that the bird flew up disappearing in the trees.
