Warhammer Throne

The night in the imperial capital of Braunschweig is serious. Under the dim light, the entire city is under a state of martial law. Patrols, witch hunters, ascetics, and combat priests and paladins almost never Stopped walking back and forth across the street, they chanted various announcements and precautions aloud.

The night in Braunschweig was also quiet, and it was so quiet that there was almost no other sound except the sound of the flowing water of the Rick River. The extreme prosperity and crowding and noisy during the day seemed to have become two worlds.

This is due to the severe curfew imposed by His Majesty Emperor Karl-Franz, because under the dark night of this city, no one knows what is hidden. The greatest city in human history has already surpassed it. The limit that can be carried has become crowded. Under the legendary walls of this city, human beings have settled here two thousand years ago, and they have begun to establish tribes among countless foreign enemies to protect themselves.

In fact, Altdorf always opens the door to all imperial citizens, as long as the gate guards have completed the identification, regardless of whether they are imperial citizens, or even Bretonians, Tyrells, or Estalians. People and even border princes can enter the heart of the empire. This city is like when Charlemagne rose in the old world two thousand years ago, and it welcomes everyone with the most open attitude.

Therefore, when the Elector of Sylvania and the first earl of vampire Vlad von Kastein attacked Braunschweig, the refugee team here had been hundreds of kilometers long. All the refugees They all rushed into Brunswick to take refuge.

However, it would be a big mistake to think that Brunswick is a paradise for opportunists, young people with dreams and deserters.

Indeed, Braunschweig is open to all human beings, but the various guilds and schools in the city control the best jobs and salaries. If you are not a nobleman, it is difficult to enter. Brunswick’s citizenship register Those survivors who spend half of their lives working hard for the city will tell you the hardships of life. Most people often can only rely on their own hands to find a subsistence job, an apartment crowded with eight people living in one room. Even the basement Datong shop, 996 working system.

Workers at the lowest level often have to work hard for more than ten years. Only a small part of the lucky ones can become skilled workers, craftsmen or foremen, and continue to work hard to get a wife and children and achieve new life goals.

It is precisely because of this that various gangs came into being. The imperial law stipulates that citizens have the freedom to associate. Therefore, a large number of gangs began to be born in the cities. The emergence of gangs made those helpless refugees and young people seeking opportunities to find them. When it comes to life goals and one's own identity, its emergence has replaced the previous family system to give the workers a sense of belonging, but it has also doubled the difficulty for the demon hunters, paladins, and combat priests to clean up the chaos cult, because There are too many gangs in Brunswick, it is difficult to distinguish between good and bad, and due to the particularity of the chaos cult, even cultists who believe in the same evil **** will kill each other all day long. In this case Next, it is extremely difficult to find the Chaos Cult.

Fortunately, due to the kidnapping of the archbishop in the past two years, the Archbishop of Justice Vicma-Fortitude cleaned the entire slum in angrily. Following the clues, many traces of the Chaos sect were found and cleaned up. Now the cult activities are at least dead or hidden. Going to the dark.

Over the past two years, the empire has enjoyed a precious era of peace.

Located in the private banquet hall of the Imperial Palace, Emperor Karl-Franz hosted a banquet for the core and most powerful people of the Empire to discuss a series of political changes in the Knight Kingdom.

In the brightly lit palace banquet hall, the long tables are full of various dishes. Under the careful cooking of the royal chefs, the dishes are particularly delicious, which contains the strong Rick collar characteristics.

What is the Rick collar feature?

Rick’s dishes are heavier in taste, but pork, beef, liver, spices, fish, poultry and vegetables are preferred in terms of ingredients; It is often cooked, stewed or braised, especially the famous "sour beef", "Rick sauerkraut", "Tartare steak" and "Pork knuckle hot pot".

However, the most famous are the various hams, red sausages and sausages of Rick’s collar. Today’s table has the most famous "Black Forest Ham" and "Brunswick Sausage". Offering malt wine "Keppen's Premium" plus soft and delicious wheat bread, this is the highest-level palace banquet.

Sitting on the main seat, Emperor Karl-Franz picked up his beer glass and drank a full sip of dark beer. This year's emperor is in his early forties and is at the beginning of the peak of a legendary powerhouse. His face is as bright as ever. Smile, this smile is easy to feel close.

Whether facing the electorate, facing the bureaucrats of his subordinates, facing the soldiers of the empire, or the least common people in the Brunswick slum, the emperor always smiled, neither humble nor overbearing: "So, Ryan- Makado succeeded, he regained Musilon, and he is about to become the king across the mountain."

"Isn't it?" The White Wolf Elector Boris Toddbrink was immersed in eating and drinking. This imperial Elector inherited all the qualities of a Middenite, good or bad.

What is a Midden?

I complained the most, kept chattering, served the table first, and ate the most.

The Middens are always stubborn and refuse to change. They still refuse to use foreign and foreign words. Under the influence of Urik, the people here attach great importance to tradition. Because of this, the dwarves have the best chat with them. .

"Isn't it? Boris! My elector, don’t you feel a little bit ashamed of this?" Marshal Rick Kurt Heilberg was very upset about this, and he opened his mouth without hesitation. Lai Zhangkou: "You let us miss a holy grail knight, do you know how many troubles can be solved if our empire has such a strong combat power as Ryan?"

"Oh, is it?" Elector Boris finally lifted his head from the plate after hearing Marshal Rick's words. Heilberg's face was reflected in his one-eyed pupil: "You think, If he stays in Nord or arrives in White Wolf City, he can also grow into a holy grail knight? Heilberg, you should use your IQ more for war! Or do you think we are the emperor The position your Majesty arranged for you wronged you? Should you go to the Rick Council and become the Lord of the Hand?"

"Tal's teeth!" Heilberg was obviously irritated by the words of Elector Boris, and Marshal Rick cursed: "What I said is not the same as what you answered!"

Marshal Rick wanted to say something more. The emperor interrupted Heilberg's curse with his hand. Karl Franz smiled and said to Boris: "Tradition is a powerful force."

"Huh huh~" Elector Boris took out his fork again, forked a whole piece of greasy pig's feet, and stuffed it into his mouth: "Yes, tradition is a powerful force, no matter how it looks, Heilberg has never been in the White Wolf Knights at all."

"So there is no point in discussing this issue." The emperor clenched the knife and fork in his hand: "What we are going to discuss now is, what should we do? What should we do?"

"The little boy has not experienced the severe beatings of the society. He actually became a duke after ten years of going across the mountain." Archbishop of the Church of Justice Vikma-Fortitude nodded: "This shows that besides Wu Yong, he is a real man. A very capable person, what is the political situation of the kingdom across the mountain? Carl, you and your court team have discussed many times. If you can complete the break in this situation, his ability no longer needs to be questioned. The current problem Yes, what are you going to do?"

"What our Majesty needs is an answer, not a question, Archbishop of Justice, how can you use questions to answer questions?" Boris Todd Bringer said impatiently, "If you invite me to a meal, it's just In order to be ridiculous here, then I am very happy, I like the free dinner!"

"Hahaha~" Emperor Karl-Franz smiled helplessly.

Boris Todd Bringer almost became the "wolf emperor". In the end, Karl Franz won it was really thrilling, but the unwilling Elector Boris often expressed his dissatisfaction with the emperor in public. Because of the opposition between the northern sect and the southern sect, Boris’s attitude intensified the contradiction between the north and the south. The elector even thought that Karl Franz was the puppet emperor of the southern sect.

But the emperor needs Boris and the White Wolf Knights behind him and the power of the White Wolf sect. What he can do is to involve Boris in major decisions and make him feel that he is not excluded from the decision-making circle.

At this moment, the Duke of Griffin spoke. Ivan Ferdinand is now a hundred-year-old veteran, but from the outside, he is only a man in his thirties: "Lane has a complicated personality. I have felt in the years when he was his godfather that his character is called flexibility within the rules and kindness within the system."

"The flexibility within the rules and the kindness within the system?" Emperor Karl-Franz thought carefully, and he suddenly asked Boris: "His adoptive father Norman is still in White Wolf City?"

"Yes, Norman is now an instructor in Middenheim, but you know, Franz, Ryan did not succeed the lord of Otterne, so the adoptive father...that's what happened." Boris Todblin Ge nodded, and the elector said coarsely, "What do you want to do?"

"Nothing." The emperor shook his head. As Boris said, the noble lineage is based on inheritance and genealogy, not upbringing.

"Ryan has a flexible character in his character. He has great ambitions, but he has a side to stick to the bottom line. His behavior is undoubtedly bound by knighthood, but when he thinks it is necessary, he again I can always find a reason to avoid the shackles of chivalry." Ivan touched his long beard: "When facing an enemy, Ryan also has a kind side. If the opponent is the target of killing but not killing, then he He tends to leave the other side alone, and when the enemy has a relationship with evil, Ryan is the most firmly convinced that the evil must be eliminated, the first evil must be punishable, and the coercion must be questioned. He would rather kill the wrong than let it go."

"Ryan has always advocated the internal resolution of human internal contradictions, and the struggle should be the struggle. Once the foreign enemy invades, the human compatriots must abandon each other's prejudices and unite together to defend against the foreign enemies." The great alchemist Baiershaze-Geert said, because While eating dinner, Gelt took off his golden mask, revealing an ordinary face with a stiff, cold expression: "I think I have a detail to tell everyone."

"Go ahead, Gelt, you know I trust you the most." The emperor nodded.

"Ryan's Oliver Chamber of Commerce and Hadrian Chamber of Commerce have already opened branches in Braunschweig, Middenheim, Nur, and Tarabeheim. This is not a sign of wanting to start a war." Calmly used his voice with a heavy metal rubbing sound and said: "From the perspective of how much he is favored by the lady in the lake, he should also understand the overall situation."

"He and his Chamber of Commerce are often able to make up for the food gap in Midden collar." Boris said gruffly, "I hope we can discuss how to get some half-blood elf war horses from him, White Wolf Knight Commander. After riding, they say yes, but the number is too small."

"It's not the time to talk about this... In a few years, he will become king." The emperor obviously agreed with Gelt's analysis, and there was some fortune in his voice: "Should we get along with him in advance? It's useful. In the future, the relationship will continue to be strengthened, and the half-blood elf warhorse is not particularly difficult to obtain."

From Karl Franz's point of view, he was actually reluctant to have a king like Ryan in the Knight Kingdom.

He and his courtiers have analyzed the throne of knights many times.

Generally speaking, how much real power the knight king has and how much control he has over the entire kingdom depends on his personal bravery and personal prestige, whether he serves the public, and whether he has gained the trust of the dukes.

The throne is unstable and whether he can sit for a long time depends on whether the king is trusted and favored by the lake fairy and how he has relationship with the lake **** witch.

"He has expressed kindness to the empire more than once, my emperor." Gelt's voice continued, and the great alchemist said calmly: "He has followed Targris to visit the empire, and he has also spoken with him. Countess Emmanuel has a great relationship!"

"Emmannoli..." The emperor nodded, and he smiled: "This is the shackles, but people will always change. At that time, he was just an earl. Now he is a duke and is about to become a king. If it seems to be related to us Too close, on the contrary, it is not good for him to succeed to the throne."

"Only Charlemagne knows if he will attack Marienburg again for the so-called chivalry and glory? Just like Richard?" Heilberg murmured.

"People will change, but interests will not change." Gelt shook his head, and the great alchemist said directly: "I think we can send someone to contact him. I believe we can get a satisfactory answer."

"Then, what excuse should I use?" The emperor became interested: "Congratulations on him becoming Duke of Moussilon?"

"No, we went directly to Ryan's route, which seemed too flattering and low-pitched, and it was also detrimental to the image of the empire." Galt continued: "Because of the spirit of chivalry and the upcoming king, Ryan certainly cannot be here. At that time, what kind of contract was made openly with us, which would also damage his reputation and reputation."

"So what should I do? Stop selling it, metal face! Just say what you want to do!" Marshal Rick Heilberg became a little impatient, and his two bunches of eight-character Hus shook up and down with the master's movements, and they were covered. Soup: "Why can't you just say it?"

"Let's take the Madame route." Gelt glanced at Heilberg and decided not to care about him: "Don't forget, his wife Sulia..."

That's enough.

"Very good!" The emperor's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly: "Okay, let's do it!"

"Immediately prepare a generous gift for Mrs. Suria, and send our envoys to the Lane territory to congratulate his eldest son on the birth!"
