Warhammer Throne

The old world, late March 2513, the capital of the Ostermark province, Beccafen.

For the empire, the Ostermark province is a relatively low-existence province, but it is indeed one of the most important and oldest provinces in the empire. A lot of evidence shows that the ancient human wizard empire used to be here. There was a glorious and short reign.

It’s just that for the residents of the Ostermark province, even if the ancient human wizarding empire is glorious, it will be a long, long time ago. The concept of Ostermark was really formed about a thousand years ago in the empire. After the disaster era, the tribe named Ostegos established some villages and strongholds in the northeast corner of the empire. This land is located in the northeast corner of the empire, to the south of Kislev, and to the north of Sylvania. The western part of the northern part of the roof of the world is a province composed of two large black forests and a large wasteland in the middle.

At the time of the rise of Charlemagne, the Ostmark region was already a formed tribe, and it was also an ancient and savage militant tribe. At that time, the king of Ostegos was named Adelhad, and he was committed to bringing the entire region All loose tribes are integrated to fight against the invading greenskins, beasts and trolls, so the people in this area are born savage and sturdy, and have a strong sense of unity and unity, and firmly believe that the united humans Far more powerful than division.

At that time, the Ostermark province was facing a terrible invasion of greenskins. King Adelhard managed to concentrate all his forces to hold a few strongholds, but the people here still could not survive the invasion of greenskins, so Ah Delhard sent Gagarin to Rickdorf to request Charlemagne’s support. At that time, many people in the Carolingian tribe believed that the ghost place of Ostmark was too far away from Rickdorf, but Charlemagne tried his best. In the public opinion, he personally led an army of thousands of people to support Ostermark, and smashed the head of the leading green-skinned warlord.

After the greenskins were driven to the other side of the roof of the world, the human coalition cheered the victory. The Ostermark province announced that it had joined the empire. King Adelhard gave up the crown and was replaced by the elector. In the battle of the Black Fire Pass, a group of axe men from the Ostermark province joined the battle and played a key role in the decisive battle of Greenskins.

At this moment, in a villa in the city of Bekafen in the Ostermark province, the only a dozen female councillors of the Garland Council are sitting in the villa for a meeting, discussing what should be done next. manage.

The city of Bekafen, also known as Baker Harbor and Baker Haven, is the political and economic center of Ostermark and the seat of the Ostermark Union Parliament. Interestingly, it was originally only the economic center of Ostermark. The Brenwase River flows here, exporting large amounts of wood, pottery, and livestock to all parts of the empire, earning huge profits.

The important branch of the Garland Council was set up here, because the main material supply of the Skydome was basically raised from Bekafen City. There would have been a female congressman stationed here to be responsible for the allocation of materials, but the previous Garland Assembly This made this place completely vacant. After Aurora and the others teleported here, they could only stay here temporarily. Most of them were injured or exhausted their magic power and needed time to rest. Moreover, the witches were divided into three factions as to what to do next.

One faction is headed by Teresa. The female warlocks think that the only way out for these people is to go to Bretania to join Ryan and ask the King of Knights to take him in. From the perspective of the relationship between Ryan and the Garland Council, Ryan will definitely take it. they.

The opinion of this faction was approved by about half of the witches.

The other faction is headed by the legendary sky witch Adriana. This witch does not want to go to the Knight Kingdom, because there is already another faction headed by Veronica in the Knight Kingdom, and there is also the Lake God Witch Mo. The prophets of the lake **** headed by Jaina, therefore, she thought, didn't she go to Bretania at this time to become a third-class or even a fourth-class person? They should try to find an imperial elector to join or go to Kiesloff to join the Queen of Ice and Snow. She urged everyone to go to Oost to seek financial support from the elector of Wamir. If it doesn’t work, they collectively vote for the Queen of Ice and Snow. .

The third faction is headed by the only remaining sacred witch Aurora among the survivors of the war. She is undecided about what she should do. She remains neutral for the time being. Aurora’s heart is still a bit reluctant to take refuge in Ryan. She means to take refuge in Ryan. The final choice is now to see if there are other options. The Garland Council has been an "independent" spellcaster organization since its inception. Don't bow to your knees if you don't have to.

Now, in the open-air courtyard of the villa in Bekafen, the survivors of the Garland Witches are discussing what to do next. The will of everyone is very depressed, and their spirits are also very weak. Just in the open-air courtyard, the sanctuary The ice witch Aurora, the legendary ice sorceress Teresa, the legendary sky witch Adriana, and the legendary beast witch Anne Lorak.

The weather in Ostermark is as gloomy and desolate as the land here. Although it is not as cold and uncultivated as Kislov, the dark atmosphere always hangs over here, and the sun looks very much under the forest and mountains. The faint snowmelt plunged the entire city into a muddy environment of gray and brown. Even in the provincial capital, the population here is not very large. The sound of the blowing wind resounded in the courtyard. Four Congresswoman Jialan sat together, looking at each other speechlessly.

They still have not been able to accept the fact that the Sky Castle has been destroyed and the Garland Council no longer exists.

Everyone seemed very weak, because they had more or less overdrawn their bloodline power or vitality in the battle of the sky fortress. Teresa was even more tired. The female warlock rested for a whole day without regaining much energy. The tone was very sleepy: "It is not a way for us to stay here. It does not help us. What we need now is a good and safe rest environment and the hope of rebuilding the parliament. Only Ryan can give us this."

"I agree with what you said in the first half, Ms. Teresa." Adriana said: "But we don't have to go to the Knight Kingdom. You are the courtier of His Majesty Ryan, but we are not. There are already many magic consultants around him. Being able to provide him with magical answers, I don’t see any need for him to treat us kindly, and even if he is willing to accept us, we are bound to become his vassals. This is not what we want, or at least not what I want. ."

"However, we have suffered such great changes and losses. If we can't unite again at this time, how can we rebuild the Garland Council?" Teresa said wearily: "Speaker Margarita used Life has given us a chance to escape. If you plan to stand on your own, Adriana, do it and let us see what happens?"

"I don't plan to be independent, but I don't want to be a vassal!" Adriana knew Teresa was buttoning her hat, she said impatiently: "Ms. Teresa, you are from a wizard family. Enjoying all kinds of generous treatment, all the roads have been paved by you, and you have hit the big luck, but we are not like you. I doubt that your knight king will sincerely accept us."

"We don't know whether you are sincere or not." Aurora said. The Sanctuary Witch still maintains her mature and beautiful demeanor, but her spirit is also a little haggard. She shook her head: "But for now, Adriana, Ji We can't go to Slov, as long as you have a little understanding of the situation in that country, you know that this choice is impossible."

"So, Oster collar?" Adriana also knew that Kislev was already in turmoil.

"The Elector of Wamir will be very happy that he has an extra female courtier. Maybe you can rank in the top ten?" Teresa said impatiently, "He has ten illegitimate children! This is still admitted! Do you think Will he admit you?"

Adriana stopped talking.

Aurora finally decided to speak, and the Sanctuary Witch shook her head: "In fact, there are not many choices left for us. Everyone, we all know that the southern part of the empire is the world of the Royal Wizarding Academy, and even in the north, our influence Power is also limited to Nord collar, Hawk collar, Tarabek collar and Oster collar."

After thinking for a while, Aurora felt a little unwilling again in her heart. Is she really going to surrender to Ryan? The Sanctuary Witch always feels unwilling to give up, she simply said: "In this way, let's first meet with the Speaker of the Ostermark Union and His Excellency Wolfram Hertwig, the elector of Bekafen, and ask him if he Willing to take us in. If we are willing, then we can negotiate and compare the conditions. If we are not willing, it will not be too late for us to leave for Brittania. But everyone, please remember that at this time, the most important thing is To be united, we must maintain the same advance and retreat."

After Aurora said this, everyone had no opinion. Teresa was a little worried about why Aurora didn't choose to stand with herself at this time, but she saw her mother's warning gaze, and finally didn't say anything.

Everyone was very tired. After lunch, Aurora and Teresa both took a nap, but still felt very sleepy. They just had a task, so they had to set off for the Elector's Palace in Bekafen.

The sky is gloomy, the building is gloomy, and the mood is gloomy. The two mature and beautiful witches, Teresa and Aurora, are particularly conspicuous when walking on the road in much more gorgeous clothes than the locals. I saw this pair of mother and daughter, but there was no particular hostility, because the Ostermark bloodline is very complicated. The first elector Adelhard’s harem included women from all provinces of the empire. Here For this reason, the people in China do not exclude intermarriage with people from other places, so they are not as hostile to outsiders as in many places.

Walking on the road, Aurora and Teresa had nothing to say. They hadn't been relieved from this huge change. Before reaching an iron-grey elector’s palace, Aurora noticed Oster. The elite army of the Mark Alliance, the Death Skull Army, is stationed here. This army was founded in the Vampire War. It performed extremely well in the battle with the three vampire earls, and followed the leader of Steier in the Battle of Helfinn. Prince Martin completely defeated and killed the last earl of vampire Manfred von Kastein. This elite team used a black and red flag coat of arms, a skull mask, unrelenting battle, tenacity and especially good at dealing with the undead. The behemoth is famous all over the world.

"Daughter, go up and report your name and title." Aurora looked at the Death Skull soldiers staring at them blankly, and said to Teresa: "We all know who Your Excellency Hertwig is. , It’s useless to report my name."

"Yeah." Teresa took the initiative to go up, reported her name and her title, and asked to see the Elector Wolfram Hertwig.

The Death Skull Army is an army that hates demons. It was a bit hostile to see the witch appearing here, but I heard that Teresa was another identity besides Congresswoman Garland. She didn't dare to neglect, so she went in immediately to report.

Two minutes later, the soldiers of the Death Skull Army trot out: "Your Excellency welcomes you, please come in."

Teresa didn't think there was anything, Aurora sneered in her heart, thinking that Ryan's name is indeed useful, the name of this wild son-in-law is simply the pass of the old world.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little sad.

The palace of the elector of Beccaven is not as magnificent as imagined. It looks very arduous and plain, and it looks monotonous like this province, gray, brown, and red, except for the elector’s personal coat of arms and his private. A little bit of purple can be seen on the guard body, everything is so monotonous. Teresa noticed that the men in the court had thick moustaches. The attendants took them to the very simple reception room with simple wooden furniture. , Signaled them to wait for a while: "Please wait, two people, the Elector is finishing the alliance meeting. When he is over, he will come here to see you."

"Okay, thank you." Aurora nodded.

The Ostermark province is different from most of the imperial provinces. The electors here are not hereditary—the hereditary electoral families have been completely wiped out by the Mordheim twin-tailed comet impact of the empire over the years. Including all the noble families and civilians in Mordheim, only the Sisters of Charlemagne got the oracle of the gods and hid in the monastery deep underground before they escaped. After the destruction of Mordheim, Austria The remaining provincial cities, strongholds, and villages of Stmark united to form the Provincial Union Assembly, and the Speaker generally also elects the title of Emperor Marquis at the same time.

"The current Elector Hertwig is the speaker. This speaker is known for vigorously defending the interests of the common people and the middle class. He often spends his energy on dealing with the corruption and greed of the nobles in the collar. The church and the knights, let them keep their duties, strictly prohibit corruption and exploit the lower class, and protect the interests of the common people and the middle class. He has repeatedly emphasized that the justice of the nobles is not the justice of the common people." Aurora said to Teresa. The story of this elector.

"If you change to another province, Hertwig would have long been taken down by the nobles as an elector, but the political system of Ostmark is special. Here, the civilians and middle class have a large number of seats in the Union Parliament. Therefore, Hertwig did not shake his position, but made his position more stable. The common people loved the elector, and Ostmark thrived under his rule."

Before the words were over, there was a deep laughter from outside the room. Elector Hertwig walked into the reception room with two attendants and spoke to Teresa. His expression was very surprised: "Oh, Moore. Come on, Ms. Teresa? Why do you appear in a rural place like ours? It's been almost ten years since we last met in Brunswick? Anyway, it's very welcome. What can you do?"

"Hello, Your Excellency Hertwig, we are in trouble." Teresa quickly got up and said, "We need your help."

The elector sneered in his heart, thinking that these witches would only cause trouble.

He could not give the face of the Garland Council, because his court magic consultant came from the Imperial Royal Wizarding Academy.

However, Hertwig had to give the face of the knight king "Pious" Ryan Macadoo. He knew exactly what Teresa's identity was.

The elector nodded enthusiastically when he thought of this, and motioned to Aurora and Teresa to sit down: "No problem, what difficulties have you encountered? What do you need me to do for you?"

"US……"
