Der Werwolf The Annals Of Veight Volume 2

With the alliance between the demon army and Ryunheit complete, Veight’s dream of inter-species coexistence has come to fruition, with the city prospering like never before. At the same time, ominous rumors of a “hero” with strength rivaling the Demon Lord himself start circulating in the north, where the second regiment is on the losing end of a prolonged battle. Veight rushes with his master to confront this famed hero at the fortress city of Schverm, but he finds the Demon Lord has beaten him to the punch. Who will emerge victorious in this battle between the two strongest people in existence?!

Representing the Demon Lord’s Third Regiment, the werewolf mage Veight has successfully formed an alliance with the trading city of Ryunheit. He slowly but surely progresses toward his goal of coexistence between humans and demons—but suddenly, an unexpected visit from his master, Gomoviroa, whisks him away to the Demon Lord’s castle. Slated to appear before none other than the Demon Lord himself, how will Veight explain his actions to the king?!

The reborn werewolf known as Veight now leads the Demon Lord's third regiment under the title of Vice-Commander. Having conquered the trading hub known as Ryunheit, he soon learns the struggles of governing a city of mixed human/demon population. Armed with an understanding of inter-species relations and a desire for peace, he spends his days quelling violent demons and pacifying disruptive humans in his pursuit to bring balance and tranquility

Though the Doneiks’ Rebellion has been put down, the political situation in Rolmund is more tumultuous than ever. While Ashley is crowned the new emperor, his hold on the country is tenuous at best, and the war for succession could hardly be considered over. With Veight busy running around the capital to shore up support for Eleora, the new emperor's older sister, Dillier, makes a shocking proclamation. She has married the current head of the Bolshevik family, Shallier. The same Shallier who betrayed the Doneiks and surrendered to Eleora at the start of the civil war. In this rapidly shifting political landscape, will Veight be able to safely guide Eleora to the throne?

With the eight southern cities joining forces with the demon army to create the new Meraldian Commonwealth, Veight's dream of creating a nation where humans and demons can live in harmony is almost within his grasp. Upon discovering the sword recovered from the battle at Zaria is an heirloom belonging to the viceroy of Krauhen, Veight sets off to return it as both a gesture of goodwill, and as a way of putting Krauhen in his debt. On his arrival, he meets not only Krauhen's viceroy, but also a dangerous foreigner, the imperial princess Eleora. This meeting sparks a chain of events that culminate into one epic battle between the north and south, deciding Meraldia's fate once and for all!

Some time after Veight and Gomoviroa leave to investigate the forest, Kite stumbles upon something ominous within one of northern Meraldia's abandoned mines—a desiccated corpse clinging to a powerful, enchanted goblet. Upon discovering the corpse it begins to move, and summons an army of skeletons to ravage Meraldia. As Airia and the other viceroys prepare for an extended siege, Veight returns from his trip and lays waste to the army. He brings the goblet back to Ryunheit to study it, but the moment he lets it out of his sight, it possesses Airia! What is this mysterious goblet, and what could it possibly want!?

Meraldia is now at peace, but Veight is still as busy as ever. It's going to take him time to adjust to his new life as a father and learn how to juggle work and parenting. Now every time he gets called away to Kuwol or the far reaches of the desert, he knows he has to finish as quickly as possible to make it back home to his family. Fortunately for his daughter Friede, she inherited her mother's intelligence and wit and his strength and vigor. While her tomboyish nature may get her in trouble at times, she's still more than capable of handling anything that comes her way.

After successfully assassinating Kuwol's king, Zagar continues forward with his plans to seize control of the nation. Being the only one privy to Zagar's scheme, it's up to Veight to put a stop to it. Subtle attempts to thwart Zagar do little as Veight sees an inevitable confrontation on the horizon. The virtuous Black Werewolf King and the greedy mercenary captain soon come to blows, with the fate of Kuwol hanging in the balance. As if that wasn't enough, a new Hero-creating device gets thrown into the mix, too!
