Heir Of Yggdrasil 53 Lohenheim Will Burn

"Eldar! Why are we heading to the northwestern border? Do you plan on attacking Valhalla?"

'Valhalla? Never heard of it. Tell me, what is it.'

"Valhalla is the fortress city of the empire. It guards the pa.s.sage between your forest and the volcanic mountains, leading to Jotunheim. Most of the Aesir army is stationed there, defending against the frost and fire giants. The city is filled with Aesir soldiers and represents the peak of the empire's capability.

If you attack that place even if you have one hundred wyrms you will still be defeated."

'Don't worry then, that is not my target.'

"Then what is? What is there in the northwest you would want to attack?"

'When did I ever say I was going to attack something? Maybe I'm just going to a friendly picnic.'

"With a horde of wild beasts and an aura screaming b.l.o.o.d.y murder? You are obviously planning to kill someone! Who is it? The only other thing in this direction is Lohenheim... Wait! You still haven't forgotten about the matter with that sapling?"

'No, I haven't!'

"You have already killed the one responsible why do you suddenly want more?"

'I killed the one responsible? What a joke! The reason why he could do what he did was a fire artifact in his possession. I made some inquiries and found out that this artifact is made from a fire giant's bones, a material that the muspel clan holds a monopoly over. Furthermore, only clan elders can refine an artifact of this level.'

"So what, you plan on asking them who made that artifact and then you'll kill him?"

'they'd lie without a doubt, thus, I will kill them all just to be sure. And if anyone gets in my way I'll kill them too.'

"Why now all of a sudden? Can't you forgive the muspel clan on account of your cooperation with humanity?"

'Before I was too weak! The muspel clan's ancestor is still alive and a duke magus, with my strength back then he would simply kill me. I had to lie low and make some concessions to you humans to buy myself the time needed to grow. Now I'm stronger than that sack of old bones, possess multiple savage beasts and even have you as a subordinate. They won't stand a chance.'

"I won't help you destroy the muspel clan! They are an important part of the sky kingdom!"

'You became my subordinate in exchange for my help against the Aesir. Is this how you honor your promise?'

"..."

"Will you at least keep helping the humans fight the Aesir?"

'If Sigmund asks for my help and treats me with common courtesy, I will respond in kind.'

We continued on and soon joined up with my twenty wyrms and another 2000 beasts. Adding those to the survivors from the last battle, my army now contained 2500 beasts, 20 adult savage beasts, and one young savage beast.

Two days later we arrived in the vicinity of Lohenheim. This was where the far reaches of volcanic mountains were separated from the rest through the river Ifing. The river also served as the border between the empire and the sky kingdom.

This little part of the volcanic mountains was part of the human kingdom and made Lohenheim prosper. They were inhabited by the fireborn and hid some fire giant remains deep within them.

However, that was of no importance to me! They would burn regardless of their prosperity.

The beast horde arrived before the city. The looming threat didn't go unnoticed. Magnifying my mental coverage I sent a message through the whole city.

'Citizens of Lohenheim, do not be alarmed by the beasts outside your city. As long as the muspel clan comes out and faces me I will do you all no harm. As for the elders of the muspel clan, come on out or I'll have to force my way in and find you myself!'

Then I let the wyrms roar and unleash their aura to its fullest. Twenty marquess level auras combined and pressed down on the city. This should be enough to draw them out.

For the next hour, nothing happened. I had been expecting this and thus it didn't really bother. The muspel elders were probably holding a meeting to discuss who they might have offended and how to deal with me.

I had already decided to wait for three hours. If they answered before that, good. If they didn't, they were testing me.

Three hours later they didn't respond, evidently waiting to see my reaction. I let the wyrms retract their auras and sent over another mental message.

'I take it this is your answer then.'

Only seconds later, five old men flew over, led by one middle-aged man. Except for one old man hidden in the back, they were all magi at the marquess level.

"I am the head of the muspel clan. What is the meaning of this barbaric siege? We have no grievances with you so we suggest you leave."
