Chapter 281: Blood And Snow (IV) (2/2)
The snow elves had played their hands well; it was a decisive move that was sure to put an end to this war. They were holding his city hostage, so they practically had him by the balls. But Rezar was very much unwilling to be on the losing end and be made a fool of. So he decided to make a move that until now didn't occur to him, it would a move on the same magnitude as what the snow elves just did to him, and in due time it would be exposed to the world and long eared sons of a bitch that fucked with him. But for now, he had to get home.

The snow elf queen watched the pool of water in front of her with a look of satisfaction on her face. She looked extremely satisfied, but to those who were gathered around her it was hard to tell what her true thoughts were. After all she was the strangest and eccentric of all the snow elf queens that Sillomere and the Breone mountains has ever had. And she had raised and molded her daughter the next princess in a similar manner.
”Mother it seems your plan has worked and the Biancans have stopped their advancement. I hear the necromancer king is already on his way back to his doomed kingdom, running with his tail between his legs. Serves him right for putting up air in front of the might of the snow elf civilization. He deserves to die a thousand times more.” The snow elf princess said with a rather sinister grin on her face. And it seems she has much more to say.
”We should drop the Geo core on his beloved city mother, imagine the debts of his despair when he comes over to see that his lovely city has been smashed to bits. All of his loved ones would be wiped out, imagine his horror, hahahaha.”
The princess was lost in her own fantasy, completely unable to see the look of disgust and horror on the face of some of the officials present in the scrying room of the snow elf queen. The princess was downright malevolent and sinister; a character that her mother had fostered and encouraged from a very young age. It wouldn't be too farfetched to say that there was absolutely nothing good within the heart of this snow elf princess, and for a future monarch; that was downright terrifying.
”You're still as short sighted as ever Daughter. The reason why we made the effort to provoke the King of the Horde was because we wanted control over his city. It's practically in the most prime location in the whole of the Bahrenburg wildlands, not to mention that if faces the sea. But location enough is not enough, after the Rejuvenation that city; Necron has become the jewel of Bahrenburg. A marvel of technology and magic, it's what we need to thrive in this new world and stand against the invasion of the aliens.
Destroying it would be nothing more than pure foolishness and I didn't raise you to be stupid. The aim is not to wipe out his city and the resources it has, but rather to take total and complete control of it. We placed the Geo Core above it not because we wanted to destroy the city but because it was always a part of the plan of taking control of Morte Bianca. The Geo core it peak of what the Mountain Dwarves of the Breone mountains have crafted.
It's the core of the floating island that would be our future home. We've depleted all of the resources the Breone mountains have to offer, and rather than settle for less it would be better to take the best from a weak king. He doesn't know what the Geo Core is, so we can use it to threaten him. And gain control of not just him but also his kingdom, because let's face it. The most valuable thing is not Morte Bianca itself, but Rather the person who built it from scratch.”
”But mother, knowing this King Rezar, there's no way he would bend the knee to us! He seems like someone who would be more willing to fight us all to the death than to serve.” The princess said as she shifted her gaze back to scrying pool.
”Well there's no telling how a man would react when the only option available to him is servitude or death. But regardless, if he proves to be difficult, it would not be too hard for us to wipe King Rezar Deathwind off the face of Elysium…. even if he is the first vampire of the new era.”
Her voice was extremely cold and brutal; this was a part of the snow elf queen that not man y has had the privilege of seeing before. But right now, in this secret room; her closest confidantes were bearing witness to the kind of woman she was. As long as it was to her advantage, there was absolutely nothing she wouldn't do, no heights she wouldn't climb and no depths she wouldn't dive, she was sinister and had a hunger for power too big for the entire universe to contain.
But as they plotted, made plans and watched as the Kingdom of Morte Bianca held its breath under threat of annihilation. A small bat watched on, hanging underneath an air vent as the enemies of her king made plans to end his glory. But she saw everything, heard everything, and soon enough, so too will Rezar Deathwind.
