Medieval Empire Soldier Chapter 17

   Chapter 17 Seventeen Emperor Karl Franz

The sensation caused by   Lyren has very little influence. Under the efficient execution of Lord Leif and Kriel, there are only words such as "a chosen one is alive" in the town of Bray.

Of course, this is only a small topic for the people of the empire to chat after dinner. The appearance of the chosen person has little impact on the lives of ordinary people, but every time rumors about the chosen person come out for a period of time, either the Yankees go south. , either by the Beastmen Warband or the Greenskin Horde.

  The hard-working people of the Empire even hated the "God's Chosen One".

   Their ignorant heads will only attribute the war to the "restless" of a certain group of people, but they don't know that those "restless people" are the cornerstone of the empire.

   Not long after he was elected emperor, Karl Franz, who was only two months old, was also considered a "restless person" in the eyes of the nobles in Rikland and surrounding forces.

   He is too good at handling things, and the decree issued in the first month is to clear the *****. This is so radical that many nobles take revenge on the "new emperor".

  There are two Rickland nobles who openly accuse Karl Franz, and there is an undercurrent behind the entire brand-new Imperial Council.

  The new emperor at the center of the storm is sitting in the office of the Brunswick Palace at the moment. Behind the huge log desk that covers an area of ​​more than ten square meters, Karl Franz is correcting various decrees.

  The imperial calendar year 2502 is a year Karl will never forget.

Two months ago, he showed his mighty power in the Imperial Parliament. In the Imperial Parliament with 6 votes in favor, 5 votes against, and 1 abstention, he overtook Boris, the elector of the Northern Midden, by one vote. Todd Bollinger, left the throne of the Emperor of the Empire in Rikland.

   This is already the title of Grand Prince of Rikland, the third emperor of the Frederick family. The two previous emperors were Karl Franz's grandfather and father.

   "Ludwig, how are those guys who opposed the decree?" Behind the huge desk, the Emperor of the Empire pinched his eyebrows, he was a little tired.

For three consecutive days, I ran around everywhere in Rickland, stabilized the situation, and carefully observed the movements of all parties. This is something that must be done in the first year of being elected as the emperor. Even if the previous emperor was his father, he left behind a veteran. The nobles are mostly incompetent.

   The new emperor's reliance on the nobles in private: "Some people are shameless, eating from the bowl and looking at the pot, and some even put their eating claws into the pot!"

"Your Majesty, Baron Robert and Sir Charlie have been captured by the Rick Guards, and they are now locked in the Rick Guard Castle." In front of the desk, the sturdy warrior stood upright, with his gorgeous and illustrious suit on him. The dark golden plate armor shone in the light, and the most conspicuous was Ludwig's smooth white beard like a dwarf.

"Serious" Ludwig Schwarzheim, the sword of justice, is Karl Franz's champion warrior and flag officer and personal bodyguard, one of the inner ring knights of the Rick Knights, blocked several times The enemy's attempt to assassinate Kawang.

   He saved the emperor's life more than once.

During the emperor's childhood, the previous emperor took a young Carl to be attacked by the beastmen on a country trip. Thanks to Ludwig and several Rick knights, they stubbornly pressed against the door of the inn, preventing the four-horned bull from rushing. Enter the hotel.

This powerful warrior is one of the "legacy" left to Karl by the previous emperor, Luitbearer, as well as the Sanctuary Fire Archmage Senus Gehrman, a grumpy, A chief archmage with a sulphurous smell.

The emperor stretched his waist, and his neck was a little stiff after working at a desk for a long time. On the purple-gold nobleman's casual clothes, the golden lines on the neckline were very dazzling: "And there's another Sir Doral? I still remember that he gave a public speech a week ago, Talking about the theme that the empire does not need the emperor's command, hehe, how can the wolf cubs in Midden think of this."

  The emperor smiled silently, his eyes full of irony.

   "Ser Doral disappeared before Knight Rick arrived. According to the intelligence, two hours after the arrest was issued, a gray carriage appeared at his residence and stayed there for half an hour."

  The Emperor's personal champion warrior replied without a smile: "Ser Doral was seen in the carriage."

   "Did you send someone to intercept it?"

"No."

"reason?"

   "The badge of the Midden Collar Merchant Guild is printed on the carriage, and their customs clearance document states that important goods are being transported, and the soldiers who inspect the pass have no right to view it."

"I see." Carl nodded, the servant next to him brought a cup of hot coffee, the emperor took a sip and said casually, "This is the first troublesome nobleman to receive Midden's lead. The fifth? Or the seventh?"

   "Your Majesty, a total of seven nobles left Rickland one after another."

  The emperor picked up a document on the table and ordered: "Confiscate all their assets in the territory, land, manor, shops, residences, what the previous emperor gave them, now let them spit them all out to me."

Carl snorted coldly, his eyes showing cold light: "It happens that the issue of military expenditure is imminent, they are crying and begging me to take away the assets, why not? The few military nobles who have been promoted are hundreds of times stronger than these corpses. "

In the vast territory of the empire, there were very few vacant land that had not yet been enfeoffed, and among the remaining land that could be used for reclamation, the problem of land annexation became more and more serious. less.

   Carl relied on the prestige of the imperial army and his personal friendship with Marshal Rick to get a crucial vote from the count of Wessenland, an important southern town, and was able to overpower the Elector of Middenland.

   The new emperor especially welcomes the disobedience of the old nobles and the behavior of jumping in front of him.

   "Anything else, Ludwig."

   "The Heavenly Mage of the Great Observatory reported that from the Aegir constellation, a large Norsca army will move south again within two years. The mages want to remind the emperor to pay more attention to the north."

  The emperor did not believe much in prompts such as prophecies. Often, due to the inaccuracy of prophecies, a series of objective factors were frequent, and ultimately wasted effort.

The most notable example of    is the Elector Boris of Middenland, who believed too much in the prophecy of the White Wolf Priest, which led to the first battle against the Beastmen too underestimated.

He was lured into the depths of the Drakovald Forest, where the Imperial army of more than 10,000 people was surrounded by five times the number of Beastmen, thanks to the valiant Teutonic guards who held the line until the follow-up troops arrived. Support, otherwise the Elector of Middenling would have already died under the butcher's knife.

"The Norsca army? Didn't Nordland and Ostland just resist the Norsca army in the spring?" The emperor looked at the warrior in front of him and asked, "By the way, Ludwig, I promise. Have the supplies for them been delivered?"

   "About 60% have been delivered, weapons and armor and other materials are still being escorted. It is expected to arrive in the early spring of next year. The road in the north is not as safe as the south, and the problem of beasts and greenskins along the way is difficult to solve."

"Choose five hundred men from the reserve to form a new standing army. Sir Holt will serve as the new army general, and equip them with new muskets from the Nunn factory. We should also make some preparations." The emperor ordered. road.

"Yes."

"If you have nothing to do, just go down and rest." The emperor looked at the old soldier in front of him. Ludwig's actual age may be over seventy years old. Judging from his legendary strength, Ludwig is also considered to be old, Karl's tone. He said casually, "It's been hard for you these days."

   "It is my honor to serve Your Majesty."

   Ludwig walked out of the office.

  The emperor was a little absent-minded, and he couldn't help but sighed why there were no such loyal people among the nobles of the empire.

   came back to his senses, Karl Franz decided not to think about it anymore, there is still a lot of things to do now, and he has taken the next paper.

   "The Church of Middle Sigmar in Bray Town under the leadership of Lord Draven of Middenland was severely damaged by the Chaos sect two days ago. Fourteen paladins, forty-three lashers and acolytes were killed in battle, and the pastor was seriously injured"

   "Damn followers of Chaos" the emperor scolded in a low voice, the Church of Sigmar often took action at the first time, sending witch hunters and battle priests to investigate the situation, and searching for traces of chaos has become a systematic norm.

  In the territory of the empire, there are attacks every minute and every second, and things that are commonplace do not need the emperor to pay more attention.

   As he was about to turn over the document, Karl Franz noticed one of the lines.

   "It is reported that the Chaos believers summoned the Chaos Portal in the church through the blood sacrifice. When the battle was desperate, a Sigmar's Chosen appeared and defeated the Khorne Bull."

   "There are paladins who have witnessed miracles take place."

   "Huh?" Taking the document again, Karl Franz frowned.

   The words "Sigmar's Chosen" are too heavy, and there are only a handful of Chosen Ones in the long history of the Empire.

   According to legend, 200 years ago, the emperor of the Empire, "The Pious" Magnus, was just an ordinary Sigmar priest in Nuen City in his early years. He became the God of Sigmar under an opportunity and led the imperial army to defeat the Chaos army and save the old world.

   The rumors about the "God's Chosen" in the folk will have a special witch hunter looking for the source to confirm the accuracy. In fact, most of them are groundless, but when the word appears on the emperor's desk, the meaning is very different.

   "Someone!" Karl Franz shouted outside the hall.

   A Rick knight pushed in the door: "My Majesty, what can I do for you?"

   "Secretly dispatched a team of Rick knights to Midenland." The emperor took out the document and handed it over: "At any cost, find me the chosen one."

   "Blocked news, dig it out for me!"

   "One more thing." Karl Franz remembered something: "Let the great mentor of the inner ring of the Rick Knights come to see me."

"Yes!"

   Knight Rick went out, and the emperor took the cup of cold coffee and drank it.

  Karl Franz is unwilling to let go of any strong man. His greatest wish is to protect his people from the dark forces. For this reason, every power must be used to fight against evil.

The   Emperor is also constantly trying to make the electors as united as possible and unite to the outside world.

   The power that a chosen person can give, it goes without saying that he wants to win over this potential powerhouse as much as possible, and more importantly, to prevent Boris, the elector of Midden, from getting the support of a chosen person.

  The emperor got up and walked to the side window of the office. In his mind, he recalled the thrilling attack when he was young.

   "There is something to do again"

   Ask for tickets and collections!

  New January, ask for more monthly passes! !

  The author is also working hard to change from one to two.

  There are book friends who want to join the fan group, and the group number is on the top post.
