Warhammer Throne

After traveling along the Rick River for five days, a group of people gradually approached the imperial capital, Brunswick. Kuangsha Literature Network

At this time, it is the end of November, and the weather is already very cold. The water volume of the Rick River has begun to decrease. The more you move up, the more polluted the river is. It is the lifeline of the empire. It communicates half of the empire’s river transportation. The river water helps the people of the empire transport goods and catch fish and shrimps.

Looking at the muddy and rancid river water and the **** washed up in the river, Targris frowned. He rode a pure-blood elf horse and went hand in hand with the emperor. The high elf army and the emperor team followed each other. , Seeing the chaos and filth in the human domain, many high elves showed contempt unconsciously.

Compared to Brittany’s castles and vast wilderness, the Empire is even more messy. Many villages and cities are like patched clothes, which makes the high elves who like aesthetics feel uncomfortable.

"A lot of people are heading upstream." Targris said towards Emperor Karl-Franz.

In addition to the army, the long line was full of people. They lined up in a long black and gray dragon and walked straight up the Rick River. Obviously they had the same purpose as the emperor and the Supreme Division. Land, that is the upper-class capital.

"The empire faces too many threats, the greenskins and goblin tribes in the mountains, the bandits and beasts in the forests, the exorbitant taxes of some lords and nobles, and the war in the north." Emperor Karl-Franz Shen Sheng said: "Some villages can survive the winter, some can't... People always want to go to the capital to find opportunities, a job, or a piece of relief food."

"Can the war in the north affect this place?" Targris looked at the imperial emperor with his deadly eyes.

"A year ago, King Egil of Scalins led the tribe to the Nord to looting. It was not until Hackendorf that King Harald Frank led the army to block the footsteps of the Scalins tribe. ." The emperor said to the Supreme Master: "Nevertheless, thousands of Nords have been displaced. Many people chose to come to the south to see if they can find a job."

"..." Targris turned a lot of thoughts in his mind, but did not say a word on the surface, and nodded slightly, even if he understood.

Hundreds of rick guards are neatly groomed. The knights with silver helmets and silver armor, white crown feathers and red feathers are the guard knights of the emperor. Although relatively young, this knight group has been one of the most powerful knight groups in the empire since its establishment. Some people think that their strength is second only to the Griffin Knights, and some people think that Rickwei's strength can be compared with the Griffin Knights.

Seeing that Targris was not going to speak, the emperor continued: "But now, the pressure in the north is much less, Egil is dead, and finally the unified Norsca is split again, countless tribes have risen, and they rushed south without leadership. , Was wiped out by Heilberg’s army and the Nord army. This time we wiped out tens of thousands of barbarians. These barbarians will be eliminated for a while."

"It won't be long. Any victory in the face of Chaos is temporary." Targris said unceremoniously: "tens of thousands of people are indeed a great loss to the northern barbarians, but under the blessing of the evil **** the most They will be able to recover in almost five years."

"Then we won at least five years." The emperor still had a smile on his face: "Five years is not too short for mankind."

Reminiscent of human reproduction ability and twenty years is a generation, Targris did not deny this concept. Many elven scholars have studied why humans rose after the Long Beard War. The big conclusion is that they are too fertile!

After some time, the capital of the empire was near.

Braunschweig, the capital of the empire, the first city of the human kingdom rises from the Rickwood Forest. The wall is more than 20 meters high and the city covers an area of ​​40 square kilometers. This city of mankind’s miracles From the beginning of the establishment of the empire until now, it has always stood firmly in the heart of the empire. Although this city is not always the capital of the empire, it is undoubtedly a symbol of the empire. Its existence is like a god. Blessing.

The tall city walls are covered with artillery and patrolling troops. The buildings inside the city walls have already exceeded the height of the city walls. During the two thousand years of development, every inch of open space within Braunschweig was filled with buildings. When it was exhausted, the residents began to be forced to top up until they surpassed the height of the city wall.

"Brunswick was formerly called Rickdorf. It was the place where Charlemagne was born and raised. This city has a permanent population of 200,000, and it is said that the floating population is close to one million." Ryan moved towards Suria and Sila. Via introduced, by the way, I would like to repeat with Veronica and Teresa: "In the history of the empire, Brunswick has faced the invasion of powerful enemies many times, such as the famous green-skinned warlord'Iron Claw' Gobard once hit the city of Braunschweig and killed the emperor at that time. In the end, he failed. The famous vampire Vlad von Kastein also put the city into a desperate situation. And Manfred, who played against me, also came to the city of Brunswick, and eventually he was defeated."

On the towering city walls, the imperial crown coat of arms, the golden double-headed eagle coat of arms that symbolizes the empire, and the golden griffon Carl-Franz family coat of arms holding a warhammer appear on both sides of the city gate. Although the city gate is wide, the gates still gather With dozens of carriages and nearly a thousand people, they are all waiting to enter the city.

As the group of people approached the city gate, Rick Wei began to carry out his mission, these knights galloped, thunderous hoofs sounded.

"Makewayfortheemperor!"

"Makewayforthekarlfranz!"

"Makewayfortheemperor!!!"

"Boom boom boom boom~" The city gate opened wide, and all the residents gave way to both sides of the road, allowing a large group of teams to enter the city quickly.

Seeing the appearance of an army of high elves, the human inhabitants were shocked and even a little frightened.

No one cared about the feelings of the civilians. Under the protection of Rickweil, Targris and Emperor Karl-Franz took the lead and entered the city first.

Then Ryan and others.

When Ryan and several people entered the city, a deep, dim atmosphere completely enveloped them.

After the sun had completely disappeared from the tall houses and city walls, Ryan felt very uncomfortable with the change of light in a moment. After the moment of adjustment in his sight, he saw a dirty and chaotic street.

Both sides of the street were full of workers, vendors, and beggars. Most of them dressed plainly or even filthy. Faced with the emperor's presence, no matter what these civilians thought, most of them bowed respectfully to make way for the group of people.

There was a smell in the city, apparently due to the impact of dumped domestic garbage. Ryan tried to look around and could see hundreds of people. The crowded streets were much higher than expected. Even if some corners are crowded with people, the dirty alleys that can be seen everywhere are drying in pieces of clothes, men and women of all ages, and people are retreating from the street, while rushing to stick their heads out and watch the emperor. And the heroic posture of the army, and the rare high elves.

There are small rivers everywhere in the city, and many small rivers dug out by hand can be seen everywhere. These rivers are used by residents to collect water, wash clothes, and even serve as sewers. The tall buildings occupy all of Ryan’s field of vision. He finds that he can barely see the sky. , Because the smoke from every house covered the sky, and the human voice and noise drowned his hearing.

This is Braunschweig, the capital of the empire, a great and glorious city, but also a city surrounded by slums and mud pools. The buildings are messy, damp and dirty, full of bad habits and order, cruelly and tenderly welcome. The city for everyone here.

No other city can better express the essence of mankind, noble and despicable, kind and dangerous, wisdom and stupidity, virtue and sin intertwined. This is Brunswick, the capital of the empire, where Charlemagne was born.

After passing through more than a dozen streets in a row, the Imperial Palace has appeared in front of a group of people.

On the fifty-meter-high golden palace dome is a golden statue of a griffin holding a warhammer. It is the coat of arms of the Franz family. The strong and great granite wall rises from the ground, and the marble floor and silver-inlaid columns form a composition. The tallest and most sacred building in Braunschweig, since the abdication of the savior Ludwig, Emperor Leopold has presided over the further stamping of the imperial palace.

The golden griffon family crest is the family crest of the savior Ludwig, and the griffon holding a warhammer represents the family's imperial throne. Such a sacred place, mortals look quite small in front of the tall palace, at least Sulia , Veronica and Teresa all felt shocked.

Only the high elves headed by Targris did not change their complexion. For the high elves, human architecture is nothing but nothing. For Ryan, which western country has he not been to? Holy Terra's throne room is higher than the imperial palace, and he can hardly be shocked by it.

But admiration is still there, because the palace is surrounded by statues of sacrificed heroes. Since the establishment of the empire, endless wars have surrounded this great country in the flames of war, and countless human heroes have emerged from countless sacrifices. , Their names will be celebrated by the world until the end of the world.

It is these precious sacrifices that allow the mortal world to survive under the threat of chaos, green skin, and undead.

"Your Excellency Targris, Your Excellency Ryan, it will take some time for us to convene the council... Yes, the electors can be teleported directly to the capital by magic, but they still need to solve the affairs of the territory first... or at least deal with them. The degree of detachment." Karl-Franz said towards Targris and Ryan: "You need to wait here for a few days, not too long. During this time, you can walk around the city. My soldiers will To ensure your safety, in other words, my soldiers will ensure the safety of civilians in front of you."

"Where can't you go?" Ryan asked deliberately.

"Haha, there are a lot of taboo books and magic books sealed in the basement of the palace, but these are not a problem for you and your Lord Targris. There are many secret equipment under the Cathedral of the Church of Justice. You must visit it. Discuss with Archbishop Vekmar, there are many powerful monsters sealed inside the Imperial Royal Wizarding Academy." Emperor Karl-Franz nodded: "These are not inaccessible, but before you visit with Lord Targris Please inform the parties so that they can be adequately prepared."

The secrets of the empire are not secrets at all to Targris, because many books and seals of Ji were completed under the auspices of Targris.

Ryan thought this was the advantage of strong orthodoxy. For the upright Emperor Karl, it was official and legal for him to obtain the imperial throne, so he was not afraid of Targris and Ryan visiting everywhere: "I heard about the Royal Zoo. Many exotic animals?"

"Yes, if Your Excellency Ryan intends to visit, we can arrange it later." Emperor Karl-Franz nodded and said generously.

"Let’s rest." Targris shook his head. He didn’t have much interest in these things: "Tomorrow Ryan, you and Miss Trovik, Madam Bernadotte and I will visit the Royal Wizarding Academy... Your Majesty, Who is the current chief wizard?"

"The current chief wizard is Cernus Gehrman, who is also the highest dean of the Royal Wizarding Academy and the dean of the Flame Academy, but I would rather introduce Baiershaze Geert and Odo to you. And Greg Matak.” The emperor turned his horse down and the attendants came up. He continued: “You live in the royal hotel next to the palace. I have arranged a room for you.”

"Your Excellency Targris, Your Excellency Ryan, please come with me." An imperial general stepped forward: "I am Heinrich Frings. You can call me Frings."

Two hours later, the Imperial Royal Hotel.

In the luxuriously decorated room, the bathroom door was opened, her face flushed, and Su Liya, who was completely sour and unable to walk, was hugged from the bathroom by Ryan. The female knight was limply nestled in her husband's arms, and her long golden curly hair swept. On the high-end carpet, Su Liya muttered to herself blankly: "Ryan~you, you are bad~"

"My wife, you are so beautiful." Ryan kissed his wife's lips softly, and he carried the female knight out of the bathroom as if holding a piece of flawless and fragile jade.

He likes Su Liya like this. Only when two people get along in private, the noble-born female knight will show a kind of watch in front of Ryan. This watch is very special. Ryan likes the female knight showing this kind of watch because it is sweet. The newlyweds should have.

The hotel where the Lions live is the most advanced "noble deluxe room" with all facilities.

"Obviously you are too bad." Su Liya barely recovered. The female knight has yet to say it. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a beautiful shadow sitting on a white giant, and her long golden hair covered her entire list. :"Oh no!"

Su Liya almost fainted in embarrassment.

The fairy in the lake was wearing a pink corduroy evening dress, sitting on the soft top of the room, with suspicious flushing on her face, shaking her beautiful legs a little unnaturally, and said in a sour tone.

"Ryan, you seem to have a good time lately?"
