Warhammer Throne
Chapter 112: , Duke of Griffin
PS. Thank you bookmates for "not filling in nickname", thank you very much. ..
Marienburg Iris "Flower" guard general Toyas Swabian took the dwarf letter and read it aloud in the House: "The Dwarf King Lorek believes that the target of this green-skinned army is human! He wants us to prepare early. , The dwarf may not be able to stop it, Greenskin may hit Marienburg!
Everyone in the House had a serious expression. After a long time dealing with the dwarves, the empires naturally knew how the dwarves spoke.
If the letter from the dwarves says that they can do it easily, then it means that the dwarves are a bit more popular, or at least evenly matched.
If the letter from the dwarf vaguely says that the dwarf and the greenskin are evenly matched, it means that the dwarf is already at a serious disadvantage and the battle situation is already very dangerous. As for how far...there are many professional scholars and clerks in the empire who can learn from the dwarf. It is judged by the wording of the letter, the strength of writing, and the degree of wrinkles of the paper.
But now the news from the dwarf king Lorek said that the dwarves may not be able to stop it, so it can only explain one situation, that is, the dwarves are very pessimistic about the battle situation, they can do nothing, and ask for human assistance on the side.
All the parliamentarians here understand.
"Our only good news is that the assembly of this green-skinned army is very slow, and we still have a lot of time to prepare." Archbishop Audrey said.
The assembly of the green-skinned army has a characteristic, that is, from the initiation of the assembly to the completion of the assembly, there is a fairly long process, when a green-skinned warlord initiates a big waaagh! , Of course it will attract many green-skinned tribes and other green-skinned warlords to join, but in this case, no one will serve the warlords, including goblins.
So a "big ‘mix’ fuck" is inevitable, only through a civil war, this big waaagh! Only then will a true leader be produced. This process is relatively long, and Marienburg still has enough time to prepare.
"What's the use of preparing for war? We claim to have more than 10,000 mercenaries and 8,000 cavalry, but you all know how many people and the combat effectiveness of Marienburg's iris "flower" guards." Grand Duke of Marienburg Schultz said in a deep voice. Said, he clenched his fist: "There are only more than two thousand people who can really fight, and the rest are security patrols and named mercenaries."
Several members of the House of Representatives nodded, and Baron Greymeier went on to say: "The horse is facing ‘spring’ ploughing, and it is difficult for us to recruit a sufficient number of troops."
"You can't count on mercenaries at this juncture, they don't necessarily fight to the death for this city." Viscount Casanova also said.
"The dwarves are hard to protect themselves, they will not provide us with more reinforcements." Another member of the Council should also be there.
"If the higher "Jing" spirit is willing to..." a member of Parliament tried to ask sexually, and the higher "Jing" spirit ambassador Taimag immediately shook his head, his tone was extremely contemptuous: "Our soldiers are scarce and only Appears when guarding the city, and will never send additional reinforcements."
"You can't defend the city! Absolutely you can't defend the city!!!" The Archbishop of Fortune Church said subconsciously, and his views were approved by everyone.
Marienburg's prosperity must not be affected, it is the vital interests of all people.
In fact, there has always been a choice, but no one actively said it, but after all the available options were eliminated, they knew that there was only one reliable choice left.
This sentence is for Schultz to say in the end. The Grand Duke of Marienburg sighed. He clasped his fingers together and leaned his elbows on the sandalwood table. The new emperor’s asking price may not be low."
"Now that's the only thing that happened." Poseidon Archbishop Audrey also sighed.
After the decision was made, there was no need for a quick horse. A simple letter was instantly transferred from the House of Marienburg to the Human Empire Palace in Brunswick under the transmission of magic.
But today, Emperor Karl-Franz-Frederich is not in the palace.
Rick leads the west, the resident of the Griffin Knights, Griffon Cliff.
The dense forests spread to the depths of the mountains, and the distant mountains were shrouded in clouds and mist. The sound of footsteps in February took away most of the snow in the woodland, but the mountain tops and slopes were still covered by snow until the white'color' clouds were deep. Place.
On the top of the mountain, there are many powerful creatures with wings on their backs soaring freely in the sky. They spread their wings and continuously pass from the low altitude, and then rise to the high altitude, swearing their sovereignty over this sky.
This legendary creature is the griffon of the entire continent. It has the body and claws of a lion, the head and wings of an eagle. The general head to the forelimbs are all covered with golden'colored' eagle feathers. A powerful creature has both a huge size and agile and sharp movements, and every movement of it is balanced and'exquisite'. But this high degree of elegance does not hinder the fighting of Griffins, nor will it become their weakness. On the contrary, griffins not only use their powerful claws and sharp beaks to shred their enemies, they are also extremely skilled and effective fighters. Although their skills are superb, griffins do not kill innocent people indiscriminately. However, when hunting or defending territories, they will not have the slightest pity or hesitation. They are fierce and cruel, but not cruel.
Griffin can be regarded as the highest category of beast IQ. If they can be captured at a young age and properly trained, they will become extremely loyal mounts. If well-trained, they can even be taught to execute many commands. Because of this, whether it is Osu'an or the Old World, Griffin has become the first choice for many heroes when choosing a mount.
The emperor’s mount "Death Claw" was the largest griffin in the old world. Under the emperor’s example, many electors also honored that they had a griffin in their stalls, but they had to capture and obtain the griffin. Recognition is extremely difficult.
Therefore, the Griffin Knights, as the strongest knights in the empire, its existence greatly shocked the surrounding forces. This knights as the final force of the empire was formed by the savior Ludwig himself after the great holy war. Ludwig Xi selected one hundred of the most'excellent' knights to form the Griffin Knights. After the empire’s southern expeditions, the terrifying power and the final effect of the Griffin Knights demonstrated Ludwig’s success. Looking far ahead, the empire needs such a force that can instantly determine the outcome of the battlefield.
More than one hundred and fifty years after the establishment of the new empire, the number of Griffin Knights has grown to 300. The Knights not only did not decline in quality due to the increase in the number, but became stronger due to the selection of outstanding talents from the entire empire. Today, nearly 30 knights of the Griffin Knights have become true "Gryphon knights", and the remaining two hundred knights are also riding half-griffins to fight.
It is precisely because of this that today the emperor specially came to Griffin Cliff, the residence of the Griffin Knights. This residence is located in the territory of the Griffin Duke. If there is no accident, Karl-Franz will be there for the next two days. Will spend here.
The emperor’s entourage is not much, only seven or eight heavily armed battle court guards and Rick guards follow far behind. This place is relatively safe. The emperor himself is also a strong man, so they can safely follow behind. With a smile, let the emperor walk in the cold forest and "shoot" hunting.
Accompanied by the emperor was a tall man. He was wearing a set of dark gold'color' plate armor. The golden'color' Griffin Knight badge decorated every corner of his body with a radiant'flower' pattern. Telling about the extraordinaryness of the plate armor, the three sacred seals show that it gathers the blessings of the three churches of justice, life, and magic. The value of this plate armor is only the emperor's dwarf treasure, which Ludwig personally worn." The silver'color' seal" full body armor can be shouldered.
The man has long black hair and a handsome face. His blue eyes like the emperor indicate his pure Aachen blood. The Griffin real silver holy sword is hung around his waist. A white'color' dragon skin cloak swayed behind him. His appearance looks more than 30 years old, and his fluent Gothic language is extremely pure: "My Majesty, this time the rebellion will not let us The knights have some opinions when they are dispatched. They think it's time for the Griffins to go out and go around."
This man is Ivan Ferdinand, the Duke of the Imperial Griffin and the head of the Griffin Knights.
Karl-Franz was fully armed walking on the frozen forest land. The emperor breathed the fresh air and enjoyed a moment of tranquility. Hearing the grievances of the Duke of Griffin, Karl-Franz laughed and said: "I Ivan’s leader, to eliminate the rebellion of several earls and viscounts. If the Griffin Knights are to be dispatched, then why should I be the emperor."
This sentence is a word of heart, and the Duke Griffin is not easy to pick up. He can only smile and say: "That is natural. The nobles who rebel against the'rebellion' are naturally not your Majesty's opponent."
Karl-Franz immediately led the army back to the capital of the Empire after destroying the barbarian landing army in the Nord North. After returning to the capital of the Empire, His Majesty declared that all the nobles who refused to accept the conscription in this war against the northern barbarians were rebellious. , They will be punished by lowering the title, changing trades, or even confiscating the fief completely.
Many aristocrats who were dissatisfied with the emperor made a great uproar. They openly raised the flag of rebellion in anger, declared their disobedience to the emperor's rule, and sought the support of other electors. They even demanded a re-election of the emperor with their teeth and claws.
But the results disappointed these rebellious nobles. Due to Karl Franz's victory on the Nord Coast, the candidates recognized the emperor’s strength and faced the rebellious nobles’ request for help. The election candidates were silent collectively and stood on the sidelines.
So Karl-Franz led the army back to Braunschweig and did not disband the army at all. Taking advantage of the winter slack time, the soldiers could serve for a long time. The emperor directly led the army to quell the rebellion. They were defeated and killed or captured. Karl-Franz quickly resolved the rebellion by **** means and stabilized his rule. The fiefs of the rebellion’s nobles were directly confiscated, and the emperor took part of the territory. It was used to replenish the national treasury, and the other part was entrusted to the nobles and generals who responded actively to the war.
So everything was happy, except for those traitors who were suppressed, lost their lives and territory, but no one cared about their lives and lives, and everyone had a comfortable Winter Veil.
The new emperor’s sophistication of the mind, the ruthless methods, and the outstanding talents can be seen.
Karl-Franz also had his own consideration when he came to the Duke of Griffin this time. He knew that after a series of victories and peaceful rebellions, he finally settled on the position of emperor, but he wanted to realize his ideal of commanding the entire empire. , He must win more support, and the Griffin Knights are one of its most important forces.
The three knights in the old world are the Holy Grail, the Griffin, and the White Wolf. However, these three knights all have a strong independent'sex'. Needless to say, the Holy Grail does not have the order of the lake god'Witch' or even the lake fairy. The Holy Grail Knights did not accept any direct orders from the'female', and did not withdraw like a knight king. Although the White Wolf Knights were better, they also paid more attention to the White Wolf Archbishop's orders.
In the same way, the Griffin Knights only loyal to the position of the emperor, not Karl-Franz, so the emperor specially came to the Duke of Griffons in his leisure time after the Winter Veil Festival, intending to have a lot of'friends' with the Duke of Griffons. flow.
The current Duke of Griffin is named Ivan Ferdinand, who is more than ninety years old. He is a friend of the emperor and one of the strongest men in the old world. The chief of the Griffin Knights is A late bloomer, he has been instructed by a famous teacher since he was a child. Whether it is swordsmanship or riding equipment, he is a leader in the world. Not only did he conduct military education, he even entered the Imperial Royal Academy of Engineering for advanced studies, and went to the Roof of the World at the age of twenty-nine. Learned a lot of knowledge and enriched actual combat experience in the dwarf.
It was not until the age of nearly sixty that Ivan was named an imperial general and began his military career. After the death of the old Duke of Griffin, as the first in line heir, he successfully inherited the title of Duke of Griffin. The identities of General Griffin and the Grand Captain are active on the battlefield of the empire.
Even though he was more than ninety years old, Ivan showed no signs of aging. As a holy knight, he could live for hundreds of years. In terms of total life span, he had only just entered his youth.
This kind of strong is the target that the emperor must win over.
The emperor himself was born in the military and received extremely excellent military education. He was also a strong man in the ranks. He bent his bow and set arrows, and the beautiful big bow presented by the higher spirits immediately gleamed with magical luster. The feather arrow "shot" a straight line and accurately killed an elk, which wailed and fell to the ground.
In the sky, a huge griffon howled and flew over the heads of the emperor and the griffon duke. It was the death claw of Karl Franz's mount, the largest griffon in the old world. It is here today. .
"My Majesty, good archery." The Griffin Duke walked closer and smiled: "It seems that the evening banquet dishes will have more varieties of "color". This is all the majesty's credit."
"Won't my grand captain give me a'show' hand?" Karl Franz asked Death's Claw to pick up the elk and send it to the rear, teasing the Duke. The emperor was in a good mood.
"I'll forget it. The responsibility of the Griffin is to spread its wings soaring in the sky. If I encounter a horned eagle or manticore, I am willing to take it." Ivan smiled and shook his head, showing that he didn't want to use his hands.
The emperor's eyes moved. He knew that this was the griffon duke expressing his dissatisfaction. The nobles who participated in the war in the north and conquered the rebellion had benefited. Only the Griffin Knights took the initiative to fight and the emperor refused and put down the rebellious emperor. Don't let them out, these empire's strongest knights naturally have ideas.
"Gryphons sometimes fly as low as the'chicken', but the'chicken' will never be able to fly as high as the griffin, my duke." Karl-Franz noticed that Rick was sent by the guard. The letter came to him, so he patted Ivan on the shoulder, and then took the letter from Rick's guard.
The words of the emperor moved the Duke Griffin. He actually understood the reason for the emperor's refusal to play. After hearing these words, some of the original dissatisfaction in his heart also disappeared.
Ivan thought that this emperor was indeed excellent, and perhaps the empire under his hand would be prosperous as never before.
"Oh! What you really want." Karl-Franz read Marienburg's request for help, and'handed' it in Ivan's hands: "It seems that the lucky goddess always takes care of you, mine. Duke."
"What happened?" Ivan took the letter.
"A huge green-skinned army is gathering in the Jinte Mine, Marienburg is asking us for help!"
