   Chapter 107 One Hundred Seven · Imperial Parliament · Part 1 (Subscription required)

The eyes of the whole old world were focused on the battle of Diets Harbor. As expected by most people, the port city that faced several times its own fell. Thousands of people were ravaged by captives and fell to the ground. A carnival paradise for predators.

The army of the High King of Norsca stopped its destruction and captured a port of Ditus, and lost nearly 1,600 Chaos Warriors, more than 2,000 Norsca warriors, and multiplied Norsca raiders. It needs to be repaired for a short time, sacrifice rituals are held, and the number of troops is replenished.

After the crucial World War I ended, the portal of Nordland and even the entire northern part of the empire was blasted open, and the Norsca tribes of all sizes on the wasteland smelled the smell of interest, and the naval fleet of Westland was in the claws. Thousands of Norsca ships were discovered at sea, from the smallest galleys and dogs to giant dragons and sea beasts, scrambling to cross the Claw Sea to the land of the Southerners.

Located in the Mannan Cathedral in the outer port of Marienburg, countless people knelt in front of the 30-meter-high statue of Mannann. The silver coins and seafood worshipped were piled up like mountains. The believers prayed to the sea **** for help and hoped that he would lift a The great tsunami destroyed all the Norsca people who went south. The sea god's heartbreak broke them down, and the Archbishop of the Ocean Church didn't even receive an oracle.

   The fall of the northern gateway was not all bad, and the war accelerated the gathering of the electors.

  Rick Land, the capital of the Empire, Adolph.

In the hot summer, the weather in the south is already very hot, and the water volume of the Rick River begins to increase. The further up the river is, the more polluted the river water is. There are always countless merchant ships, ferries, and fishing boats in the river. Port Doffer, the river was the lifeline of the empire, it communicated with more than two-thirds of the empire's provinces, and the river helped the people of the empire to transport goods and catch fish.

Looking at the turbid and rancid river water outside the imperial capital, as well as the **** and excrement that was constantly washed up on the riverbank, Boris Todbringer, the Elector of Midden, frowned, his kite helmet on top of the fancy castle The decoration and a few blue and white irises are particularly eye-catching.

Beside the Elector of the White Wolf, the Electors of Nordland, Theodoric Geisel, and the Electors of Hawke, Edbrand Ludenhof, joined him, following the leadership of the Electors of the North. The army followed behind, symbolizing the coat of arms of the white wolf, sea eagle, and mountain fort of the three different provinces, printed on the burqa of the elite soldiers.

"The city that has been passed down for thousands of years is dilapidated and rancid! The people are weak, even the beggars of Middenheim are better than them! The Grand Prince of the Riks is an absolute clown!" Boris said. Pulling off his face mask, he felt irritable as soon as he came to Rickland.

   The heart of the empire looked scruffy, and many villages and cities were built like patched clothes.

The teams entering the city were crowded with traffic, and the crowds lined up in a long gray and black dragon. Countless people wanted to enter this great and safe city and seek a livelihood. The capital of the empire was full of nobles and merchants, and the gap between classes started from the gate. You can see the crowd coming in and out.

"There are too many threats to face the empire, and Rickland is no exception. The greenskins and goblin tribes in the mountains, the bandits, beastmen in the forest, and those greedy lords and nobles, the only benefit , I am afraid there is no threat from the Norsca." The Elector of Nord looked particularly calm and enlightened, and he continued in a deep voice: "Before today's Electoral Council was held, the attitude of this group of southerners was still dark and unclear. Very worried that they will ignore the northern threat."

   "No, doing that would not only violate the imperial decree, but also the two major churches would not agree, as well as those knights and other churches of the gods." Elector Hawke shook his head.

"Trust me, Your Excellency Theodoric, in matters of the north, only the people of the north can fully help!" Boris Todblinger was greatly dissatisfied: "Do you put your hopes on the puppy of Karl Franz? Ha! I'd rather contact the Orcs of Drakovald Forest as allies!"

  "." Elector Nord kept silent, many thoughts passed through his mind, he nodded slightly, and understood.

  In the long line of people leading to the imperial capital, hundreds of Nords displaced by the war chose to come to the south to see if they could find a job.

   "Your Excellency the Elector! It is our Lord Elector!"

   "Thank goodness the Electors of Nord are here to save us."

   "Please give some bread, our beloved Theodoric."

  The well-organized Sea Eagle Guard of more than 100 people firmly separated the crowd so as not to block the way of the Electors.

The electors who were surrounded and protected by the army accelerated their horses. Theodoric Geisel on the warhorse had a solemn face. He clenched his fists and couldn't bear to look up at his subjects. He could do it himself. Yes, it is only at the Imperial Council to get more supplies for the Nords and save the lives of more people.

   After a while, in the central area of ​​the imperial capital, the Royal Palace was in sight.

On the towering city walls, the coat of arms of the imperial crown and the grand cross, the coat of arms of the golden double-headed eagle symbolizing the holiness of the empire, and the coat of arms of the golden griffin holding a warhammer, which symbolizes the coat of arms of the Karl Franz family, appear on the gates of the palace. side.

On the dome of the fifty-meter-high golden palace hall, the statue of a griffin holding a warhammer is lifelike. The solid and luxurious granite walls rise from the end of the palace moat. The tallest and most sacred building, since the abdication of the Savior Ludwig, the Grand Prince of Rikland has expanded the palace several times, and further renovations have been presided over by the previous Emperor Leopold.

   In such a sacred place, mortals look very small in front of the tall palace.

The three electors from the north dismounted from their horses, and a team dressed in gilded mithril plate armor and fully armed with halberds, the court guards and the Altdorf Honorary Guard walked out of the palace hall, leading the electors to the place. The Throne Room, where the Council of Electors will meet.

   "dong dong dong~" a soothing knock sounded from outside the emperor's office.

After receiving the permission, Kurt Heilberg, the head of the Rick Knights, Marshal Rick, and the Grand Knight Commander of the Rick Knights, pushed the door and entered: "Your Majesty, the people from Midden, Nord, and Hawke. The three Electors have arrived in the Throne Room."

  The emperor's office, which used to be hundreds of square meters, seemed a little crowded today.

All present, including the Imperial Champion and Emperor's personal bodyguard Ludwig Schwarzheim; Elber of Steele Alberich von Andersen; Elector of Talabeek Helmut Feuerbach; Elvirate Elector Marius Redolf, and Pope Volkma Ruthless of the Church of Sigmar, the great alchemist Belchazer Geert trusted by the Emperor.

These people are all die-hard supporters of Karl Franz. In particular, the Elector of Ivyland and the emperor have a good personal relationship. At the Imperial Council in 2502, they did not hesitate to vote for the Grand Prince of Rickland. If it is only about the most trusted people present, the Emperor will choose the Great Alchemist, Marshal Rick, and the Imperial Champion Ludwig.

Karl Franz's trust in the great alchemist Baiershaze Gelt is unbelievable. The absolute rationality of the metal mage and the extremely powerful spell attack made the emperor love this great alchemist who was picked up by himself. Compared with the current royal chief wizard, the flame mage Senus Gehrman who mastered the Staff of Volan, the emperor is more attentive.

   More importantly, Bershaze Gaelt has the most precious thing, loyalty.

Karl Franz stood up from the throne, and he narrowed his eyes: "Now only the Elector of Osterling has not arrived because of the delay in the war, and his agent, the Knight Commander of the Bull Knights, Modest Atkinson will be at our full discretion."

   "We have a great advantage, my majesty, this parliament will be your second political victory." The great alchemist's metallic rubbing voice came from under the iron mask.

Pope Sigmar Volkmar glanced at the Great Alchemist calmly. He is a very devout and powerful believer. The existence of a wizard always makes him feel a little twisted. Similarly, Belshazer Geert also feels it. The magic wind in his body was suppressed.

"As soon as this council is held, no matter what, we can gain a lot of influence, but that's just an add-on, the port of Diets has fallen, the people of the empire are being ravaged by the barbarians, and the duty of the emperor is to protect the empire. Territory, protect Charlemagne's children." Karl Franz frowned: "Therefore, this council must quickly resolve disputes and matters, strive to concentrate forces in the shortest time, and send troops to help Nordland, a united An empire is far stronger than a divided empire, that is the truth taught by His Majesty Ludwig."

   "Hereism must be purged." Pope Sigmar nodded slightly: "All evil must be purged under fire."

   "The Knights of Rick are ready, my majesty, the knights are waiting for your order!" Field Marshal Kurt Heilberg of Rick immediately expressed his loyalty to the emperor.

As the most powerful troops owned by the emperor, whether on the battlefield or on other more solemn occasions, the Rick Knights are the core of the Royal Guard. His Royal Highness the Emperor, although it has historically been common for Rick Knights to fight alongside the armies of the other Electors, in this way the Emperor is able to provide support for the coming war.

"The key problem is that the attitude of Wessen, Ostermark and Marienburg is not obvious. They can be said to have no interest in sending troops to fight the Norsca army." The 'crazy prince' of Ivey Major Redolf ​​said in a loud voice: "Wesson leads that guy who doesn't eat hard and soft, so he has to give him some color. In the past few years, the black mountains and green skins were in turmoil, and he only cared about killing the orcs near Wesenburg. It's clean, there's no aid from the neighboring provinces, and I want to slap him in the face with a horsewhip!"

"Our goal is to unite all the provinces, and aside from Marienburg, they no longer have a seat in the Imperial Parliament." The emperor made his own judgment: "Styr and Ostermark need to face the fallen In Sylvania Province, the Midnight Nobility has been around for hundreds of years, I will try to lower the standards of these two provinces, and the pressure on their shoulders is not small."

  Alberich von Andersen, the Elector of Steele, who was present, was the least dressed like an elector, tied with animal skins and full of patches.

  Styr Territory can be called the poorest province in the empire. The entire territory is full of swamps, forests, and hills. There are few plains where food crops can be grown, and economic crops are affected by the climate.

   But the simple elector still promised to support the emperor: "The brave Styrians will send part of the river guard. The threat of the northern wasteland is a threat to the entire empire, and the Styrians are not afraid of any war."

   "Okay." The Emperor nodded when he heard the words: "Aiweiling and Rick understand that you will provide another wave of food this winter to ensure that most of the Styrians can survive the winter safely."

   Even the poorest province agreed to send troops. If Wessenland did not agree, he would risk the whole empire's scorn and contempt, and I believe that Eben von Leowitz could distinguish right from wrong.

"My Majesty, you have ignored the attitude of the Northern Province towards you. The North and the South have not signed a military right of passage and a military alliance treaty." The champion of the empire, Ludwig Schwarzheim asked a new question: "No matter how many troops we have assembled, if we can't go directly from Midden to Nord, we must start from Marienburg and Oster, and we will make a big circle in the middle."

"There is no need to worry about this, my loyal Ludwig, since it was the Nordland Elector Theodoric who first issued the request to convene the Imperial Parliament, which also means that the situation in the Nordland is at stake. Boris Thor No matter how unhappy Debringer is, he will not be stupid enough to block the reinforcements supporting the north." Karl Franz waved his hand, his tone was quite relaxed: "A little more, the Midden collar and the Nord collar are interdependent, in case North The Ca army has captured Sesenmonde, and there is no fortress on the road to Middenheim, and Boris would never take such a big risk."

  The emperor's flag-holder, Ludwig, immediately backed away. The emperor's side had already won the parliament of the dispute between the north and the south.

After seeing that there was no objection from the people present, Karl Franz issued the emperor's order: "Heilberg, Ludwig, as soon as the Imperial Council begins, you immediately go to the military camp outside the city to raise supplies, provisions and provincial troops, and inform The time has come for the wizards of the Imperial Academy of Wizards to serve the Empire, and, in this battle, all the warships parked at Riker Harbor participated."

   "Furthermore, an invitation to war is sent to Queen Catherine of the Kislev Kingdom, and the fleet of the Empire and Kislev will join forces to destroy Norsca's ships!"

   "The barbarians took dragon boats across the Sea of ​​Claws, this time, I will let them swim back to the northern wasteland!"

   "Follow orders!"

"Yes!"
