Chapter 1254 The Greatest Hunter

Marcus Wulfart, a seasoned hunter who has emerged in the Emperor's army, is a devout Tal believer who is committed to killing all the mutant beasts in Duncanwald Forest and restoring the forest to its original natural environment.

During the summit, he organized patrols around Altdorf to prevent the Phoenix King from going out of the city to hunt on a whim one day, but the beasts turned into beastmen, and the hunting turned into slaughter.

When the Emperor rushed to Uberrick urgently, Marshal Kurt gave him an extremely important task, leading a team of hunters to quickly rush to the Grey Mountains to scout the situation of the greenskins for His Majesty Karl Franz.

According to the Marshal's original words, don't trust the elves too much, especially when the battle has not yet begun, they always have various reasons to change the tactical direction.

Facts have proved that this is not wrong, so this is why Marcus Wulfart came to the Phoenix King inexplicably.

Marcus, who carries the Amber Bow, is strong and in his prime. He is a hunter who condenses the killing intent in his heart. Only when he looks into those eagle-like eyes can he feel the sharpness.

People who draw bows usually have different body structures from ordinary people. When Wulfart lowered his hands, his hands were close to his knees, which means that he could draw a larger bow in a freer way.

"Marshal Marcus Wulfart?"

Imrick was puzzled. According to his impression, Marshal Wulfart was a ruthless man. With the rags given by the Empire, he could travel across Lustria and let the Lizardmen's Slann grandfathers know what gunpowder weapons are. Times have changed.

"Your Majesty, I am not a marshal." Marcus, wearing a fur hat, stood upright in front of Imrick. He didn't know what was going on. When he was running towards the Gray Mountains according to Marshal Kurt's order, he was suddenly intercepted by the Flame Knight, saying that the Phoenix King had something to ask him.

"That's a pity... But if you switch from Karl Franz's court to my place, I can make you a marshal and give you a duke."

"I'm sorry, but I don't mean to."

The Phoenix King sighed, and only Metal Face Bayershazer was left unasked. The four generals under Ka Hammer, Kurt, Ludwig, and Marcus, all clearly refused. Could it be that this kid has such a great personal charm?

"Well, I've heard that Emperor Karl Franz is deeply loved by the people, and now it seems to be true... Don't mind me asking, when you were hunting in Duncanwald Forest, did you see a giant lizard covered with gold ornaments and scarred all over?"

Marcus's eyebrows jumped suddenly, as if thinking of some bad memories: "Fortunately... I saw it once. He tore several minotaurs into pieces, which left a deep impression on me."

"You didn't fight with him? For example, you thought he was a monster or something."

"..."Marcus was silent for a long time, always feeling that the Phoenix King's question was a bit stupid: "The Empire has a record of the Lizardman Legion's combat in Kislev during the Third Vampire War. I think the giant lizard I saw was a friendly army."

"That's a pity." Imrick was disappointed. A few years ago, Nakai wandered around the Old World, saying that he followed Master K's orders to find fragments of the ancient holy ruins of Orbion. One of the larger metal fragments was brought to the Empire by the Swamp Monster.

If Marcus and Nakai had a fight... he would probably be torn to pieces. With the Ancient Saint Shield provided by Master K all the time, he was not like the useless Tong Niu who could be shot through the throat by an arrow.

Marcus did not find any fun, and he did not intend to change jobs. Feeling bored, Imrick waved his hand and signaled Creon to bring the things over.

Creon, holding the box in both hands, threw it to Marcus.

No need to think too much, according to the stories circulating in the empire, especially the personal secret records of the Grand Master of the Griffin Knights, Weitz, a hundred years ago, whenever Imrick looked for someone alone and gave something, he must have something to tell.

Marcus no longer hesitated and listened to what the elves said first. If it did not conflict with Kurt's mission, he would just make some extra money.

Opening the quaint box, as Wulfart expected, it was a longbow.

The longbow was silver-white, with a flaming relief like wings painted on the surface. Judging from the material, it must be metal, and the string groove was shaped like a claw.

Along with the bow, three red arrows were given. The arrowheads were more like works of art than weapons, and were shaped into the shape of an exquisite phoenix head.

"You have a mission, to hunt the three most disgusting beastmen in the world... to prove that you are worthy of this bow."

Without waiting for Marcus to ask more, Imrick waved his hand and said, "Moonclaw, the mad son of Mothrib descended on Reikland last night, and Morgul Shadow appeared in Bretonnia... Because of the "importance" of Athel Loren to the beastmen, I have asked Alaros to return to help, so your emperor has no air force to assist in reconnaissance.

Marcus Wulfart, this is an opportunity. Do you complete the reconnaissance mission assigned to you by Marshal Kurt, or implement the people-first concept advocated by Karl Franz? For the safety of Karak Dreadnought and Reikland, who will you choose?"

"This..." Without waiting for Marcus to say more, Imrick asked the Flame Knight to drive him away, and gave him the things, don't say I didn't help you.

Marcus, who wanted to ask more questions, looked at the big men in golden armor surrounding him and swallowed his saliva secretly. He didn't understand why the Phoenix King arranged it this way.

Since the elf said this, he must have been prepared. This difficult matter... should be left to the emperor and Kurt to handle.

A pure hunter doesn't want to explore the political factors involved. What he has to do is not complicated. He follows the emperor's orders, draws the bowstring and shoots the arrow into the target's throat.

Therefore, after hearing this news, Kurt remained silent for a long time in the staff group, and then asked the representative left by the dwarves with doubts.

"Will the elves do this? When you have fought together in the badlands for too many times, this kind of failure to take responsibility in battle and making allies face difficult choices has not been recorded in the Book of Hate by the Supreme King?!"

Norgm was a little aggrieved. I don't know what the elves like to do. When he was born, he just caught up with the tail end of the badland war. It is said that the ancestors blessed the mountain kingdom to be unified, but in fact, he missed the best opportunity to gain fame in a thousand years.

The reason for staying in the human command this time is that his father Thorgrin wants to pave the way for his son's future, get familiar with the human high-level, and avoid too many pro-elite factions in the mountain kingdom.

The dwarf prince held his face, thought for a long time, and said with difficulty: "The dwarves do not support this behavior. I will warn the elves that they must contribute to this action." (End of this chapter)
