World of Dragons and Vikings

Amidst a field of battle that pits mankind and their allies against an army of chaos filled with monsters that towers over city walls, giant abominations with all sorts of teethes and tentacles flaying about, 2 men atop their trusted mounts/companion flew around the battlefield, slaying monsters after monsters and aiding their brothers and sister at arms in pushing back the tides of chaos. These 2 men, these 2 brothers by blood, shines the brightest in this battlefield which helps rallying and inspiring the army of mankind that is being pushed back steadily. One of the brothers gives off the feeling of a natural born leader and the other the feeling of valor, courage, determination and pure will.

???-''The flow is not in our favor, we just got done dealing with the Greenskins and finally killed Grimgor Ironhide, only for the Chaos to suddenly show up and attack our exhausted army. We need to fall back, we cannot hold on for much longer. We need to ask for aid from Bretonnia and the Dawrves in the mountains.''

Deciding this, I immediately guided my trusted mount Deathwing, which is the brother of Deathclaw, whom is the trusted mount of my brother Karl Franz. I went straight up to see where my brother is only to find him with Deathclaw being surrounded by the Chaos warriors. Quickly, Deathwing and I dived bomb to their direction, once we landed, I immediately swung my warhammer to my right which met the face armor of the chaos warrior, sending him flying and knocking down his comrades behind him.

???-''BROTHER! WE MUST RETREAT, OUR LINES AREN'T HOLDING!''

Karl-''DAMMIT, these vile spawns had to attack us at our weakest. ULRICH, SOUND THE HORN, WE ARE RETREATING''

Nodding to him, I reached behind my back and pulled out a horn. Taking a deep breath, I blew on it as hard as I could.

oooooOOOOOOOO~

The deep booming of the horn penetrated throughout the battlefield, reaching the ears of every men and women of the army. Hearing this, everyone steadily and orderly started retreating. However, the chaos army seeing this became even more fervent, ruthlessly piling themselves into the army retreating.

Suddenly there was a shift in the backlines of the chaos army. The chaos warriors and chaos monsters parted way, creating a path to let a single chaos warrior atop his hell stead to calmly trot towards the front.

Ulrich-''Archaon... so he has made his move. He will be relentless in chasing after us and we won't be able to escape in one piece unless someone buys time for the army to escape and evacuate the surrounding cities... haa~''

Looking around me, time seems to slow down, I see men and women alike dying from the blades of our adversaries. Some had scared looks, some had despair, others determination. Regardless, they all died. The cold sharp blade does not discriminate on who it will kill.

It's been 20 years since I reincarnated as prince of the Empire and the brother of Karl Franz who has recently ascended the throne. Although at first I was devastated knowing that I won't be able to see my family from my old world, over the years I saw this as my new world, with the people of the Empire being my new family.

Looking to my left, I see my Brother bravely attacking the chaos warriors atop Deathclaw and waving his Warhammer, Ghal Maraz, in hopes of buying enough time for our army to retreat. Looking down, I clenched my right hand holding my own Warhammer which I named Doomhammer. I also see Deathwing, the twin of Deathclaw look towards, his eyes shining with determination and willingness to follow me to the bitter end.

Seeing this, I gently patted my best that stuck with me through most my life. Closing my eyes, I took a deep breath in. I am the Prince of the Empire, it is my duty as Prince to protect the Empire from threats that threaten the peace and prosperity of the Empire even if it means I die. As my resolve hardens, I open my eyes and signaled Deathwing towards my brother.

Ulrich-''Brother! I have spotted Archaeon, he will not let us go easily and I'm afraid that the army has a chance of being destroyed with both you and I dying along with them.''

Karl-''Dammit! blasted chaos. Huuuuu~ alright, I will grab a detachment and be the rear guard, holding them off whilst you lead our men back and evacuate the surrounding cities''

Ulrich-''No brother, I will lead the rear guard, you are the Emperor, you need to lead our men to safety, we cannot risk you dying''

Karl-''Ulrich no! I said I will lead the rear guard. I'm the Emperor, do as I say, I command you!''

Ulrich-''It's because your the Emperor that you need to retreat with our men. You need to head back to the capitol and request the aids of our allies to fight against the Chaos tide.''

Karl-''You will die brother, you know that right?''

Ulrich-''It's better me then you, besides I'm not one to lead you know that. And you need someone strong enough to hold Archaeon back and no offense brother but I am stronger then you and I'm confident I can hold my own against Archaeon''

Karl-''Ha, you think you can undermine the Emperors strength? Watch as how I'll punish your rudely remakes back at the capitol''

Ulrich-''Ha, we shall see. Now off with you, you got an Empire to lead.''

Karl silently looks at me for a bit, without saying anything else we flew off with Deathclaw and rallied the army to retreat. Seeing him retreating, I once again took a deep breath and calmly looked around me only to see a thousand or so people silently looking at me awaiting my orders whilst the rest are retreating. Nodding to them, I say,

Ulrich-''So you have chosen have you? There is still a chance for you to live and fight another day if you want, no one will judge your decision. ''

No one answered, instead all I heard was them beat their shield with their swords or spears once. Seeing this, I say nothing more, instead I flew straight up and looked around to see the terrain. In the distance I see a valley that leads towards the heart of the Empire and is where the army is retreating, which we can use to funnel the chaos in. Without further ado, I led my small contingent and went towards the valley with the Chaos on our tail.

Once we reached the valley, we positioned ourselves at the entrance of the valley, with shields and spears at the front and rocket batteries at the back. As we were in position, we had some time to spare and take a break. Some time later, we see the Chaos army slowly advance towards us only to stop just outside the range of our rocket batteries. Once again, the army of chaos split and made way for Archaon to reach the front, silently staring at us.

With this, I made my way to the front, atop of Deathwing and stared at him back. Then I looked back towards my men who are battered and bruised with low morale.

Ulrich-''Brothers and sisters, where you stand now is the place where Heroes are born. Do not fear death, for if you start to fear, you start to lose hope. Instead, embrace death, for once we die here, know that we die protecting the future of our Empire! Know that you died protecting your loved ones! Know that you died a Hero! For generations to come, they will sing the story of our valor! How a mere thousand men and women who are bruised and battered fended off the millions of Chaos spawns long enough for our Empire to regroup and gather her allies to fight back against the Chaos. Let us be the shield of the Empire one last time. We die a warriors death today! We die wielding our weapons, with our backs facing the Empire!''

Looking around me, I see my brothers and sisters eyes shine. No longer is there any signs of fear, instead what replace it is pure determination to protect our land, our people, our family. Slowly, a steady rhythm of beating could be heard from swords and spears beating their shield slowly and firmly. Like the beating of the heart full of vigor, the beating slowly increases in pace. By this time, the chaos army is already charging towards us which kicked off the rocket batteries to unload hell unto them.

Ulrich-''Steady brothers and sisters! Look no where else but towards the enemy! If you start to feel afraid, look towards me, I shall carry your woes, I shall be your anchor of determination!''

Seeing the Chaos approach closer and closer, my breathing start to become more rapid. I need to calm myself. Although this is my last day, I shall not fear death. Taking a deep breath, I uttered a war cry that not only strengthens myself, but those around me.

Ulrich-''SIGMAR GUIDES US! FOR THE EMPIREEEE!~''

With that, the forces of Chaos clashed against the shield of mankind. For every men or women that the Chaos kills, 2 or 3 will die by their hands before breathing their last breath with a determined look. Seconds turned into minutes, and minutes turned into hours.

After who knows how long, only the back of a lone figure stood tall and mighty. Clad in armor with his red royal cape fluttering in the winds and his trusted weapon the Doomhammer tightly clenched with his hands. However, he stood motionless. Taking a closer look, you can see his companion Deathwing lying by his sides also motionless. If one were to look at a distance, you will see the lone figure standing atop of a pile of giant monsters, warriors clad in armor and more, forming a small mountain beneath his feet.

Then a figure mounted on a eagle tiger hybrid gently flew down in front of him. That figure was Karl Franz who came back to the valley after a few weeks of preparing. What stood infront of him was the body of his brother that was riddled with arrows and a great sword plunged into his heart. But even with all this, he still stood tall with his back that has no wounds facing the Empire.

Karl-''You dammed fool... You didn't come back like you were supposed too...''

Although Karl Franz said this, tears were dropping down from his face, but with a determined face, he turned back around only to see an endless stream of men and women geared with weapons and armor, Dawrves heavily cladded in armor, horses with wings flying in the air etc. One can even see high elves amonst the stream. Then suddenly a Hippogryph gently landed next to Karl.

Louen-''The Chaos army have been sighted further north of here and is awaiting our arrival. The scouts has also seen all the Chaos Lords sighted. Win or lose, this will determine the outcome''

Karl looked towards Louen, then looked towards his brother only to sigh. Then with a determined look, went back atop his mount, Deathclaw and flew towards the front. He will bury his brother with his own hands after the battle.
