Warhammer: I am the Hammer of the Empire.

Chapter 297 Banquet with malicious intentions

The young prime minister was not used to Alan Bair's directness and the resolute military atmosphere. He had not served the lord for many days. The legend fell ill in just a few days, and he had never experienced how a real warrior treats the world.

This incident was too coincidental, and many people doubted him from various angles, but this young man had solved those problems in his own way, and he felt that this time would be no exception.

He needs to protect the territory, for himself, and to allow the lord to sit in this position longer, until his family changes and the empire falls apart, and still stands, so that he can maintain his position and rights.

His arrogance was well-founded. When he used a bunch of diplomatic words to half-deceive and half-coax Alan Bair to the lord's palace, he prepared a banquet according to his own instructions to celebrate the Lord of Skadi's help to them. , in short, the Imperial Guard stepped into the spider's lair.

It's just that this mansion looks more peaceful than the dark, humid and cobweb-covered nightmare, but the so-called Vanity Fair is more hidden and insidious than those things. Although Alan Bair's nest is too narrow for this giant bird, But in order to continue the glory of the lord and the position of his family, he has planned many things.

He spoke. "Lord, your body is weak and you need time to rest and recuperate before you can meet people. We can wait for a while. There are many interesting places in the territory for you to try."

Alan Bair shook his head. "Someone is waiting for me. Even with Veritaserum, I need the lord to open his mouth and promise me to let the soldiers here be dominated by the Skadi and solve the problems here, those orcs."

The prime minister shook his head. "Sir, you want to kill everyone's hope in the fortress. The lord has no heirs. This family will end today, and the legend of Karazha will disappear."

"My family has been assisting the lord for generations, and I absolutely cannot let this happen to me!"

Alan Beyer asked. "Then can you let the lord get up and continue fighting? Or make sure that the orcs can't kill him, forever!"

The prime minister suddenly knelt on the ground. "Time, sir, I know, but no matter what, it will take time for the lord to get better. We want him to put down his burden and have a good rest, so please give me a few hours!"

Persuading, understanding, delaying, Xiaozhi uses reason to move emotions, whether it is to deal with the disease, or to ask Lord Alan Bair to rest first before praying, driving dignity into the valley, and spending a lot of words, finally Alan A luxury vehicle that flaunts its wealth on the Bayer Seat.

The entire armored regiment followed, the massive Imperial military force, enough Tau vehicles to level the place and enough Lemanus, Hydra tanks, and even an Emperor Baneblade, It's all for the safety of Alan Bayer alone. In other words, for the empire, his value has surpassed the entire armored regiment.

The Lord of Skadi looked at the situation outside the window in his soft seat. The reinforced bulletproof glass and the towering fort city. Human beings also need to defend themselves against attacks from their own people in their own homes. What does this have to do with the orc boss needing to be careful about the boy's resistance? the difference?Even the orcs came more directly.

He smelled the indifferent scent, which was fragrant and drowsy, but he didn't hate the smell. He asked Mr. Prime Minister next to his seat. "Why, what kind of fragrance is this?"

The prime minister said with a smile. "It's the secretion of the void whale."

"Isn't that a subspace creature?" Alan Bayer asked interestingly.

"It's just a name. It's actually an accidental product prepared by a pharmacist. It's called so because of its charming aroma." He introduced this way, and Human Five was unable to capture any void whales. They were two thousand miles long, far exceeding the level of normal warships. , even the juvenile body probably cannot do it, and it often lives in the terrible hell of subspace and is rarely observed. However, this fragrance also reveals human beings' yearning for that kind of void monster.

Alan Bair looked sideways at the light emitted from the car window through the lumens on the streets, which brought him back to the past in a trance, to the wide streets and the bustling traffic. When he was stopped by the voice of Chief Catachan, he I found myself falling asleep. Is it too tired? Alan Baier, who is always energetic, didn't get tired.

When he slowly got up, he muttered. "Are you too tired?" He rubbed his shoulders again until his head felt tingling, which was just like the physical reaction caused by a long sleep after being tired. Finally, he got up and the car had stopped at a beautiful castle. This behemoth used for war is beautiful. This is Alan Bayer's first opinion.

There is no garden, instead there are trenches, prepared seismic cannons and vehicles, thick walls, gothic black gold shaped by fine gold and concrete, spikes, and sharp edges of bones. Every inflection point of the castle wall is blocked by powerful Covered by tarantula turrets, large searchlights and sentry towers are frequent visitors.

Unlike the creations of the Dark Age of Technology on Skadi, it must not be that powerful, but it probably has medium-sized void shield equipment to maintain its stability. Maybe this small fortress will be safe and sound if it is completely fallen, and for this In terms of aesthetics, Alan Bayer does have a lot of interest.

"Beautiful castle." After the prime minister pushed open the thick ornate metal door, the carved skulls and the creaking sounds of ancient things from the history of this fortress were pleasing to the eye. Alan Bayer commented on the aesthetics that only soldiers can understand. , at least for ordinary people, this place is not comfortable.

Inside the gate, in the hall, you can see the photos of the parents of past generations. The mugshots are difficult for ordinary people to expect, but they are normal in this family. Every great person has left traces here, in the dark and gloomy place. The metal fortress leaves its mark, and you can move forward until you reach the hall or the living room.

He smelled the beard of the Void Whale again, that strange and comforting smell. He stopped in front of the simple original table in the hall. The chef had prepared the food early and placed it in front of the table.

But compared to this, Alan Bayer no longer wants to waste time. "Although the food is good, you don't have much food under current circumstances. Is it really okay to entertain outsiders?"

"I can solve your hunger, but I just want to chat with the lord, sir, it's almost time, don't waste my patience and kindness." Alan Bayer is fed up with this bureaucrat's delaying behavior, his viciousness is not from any outside Stuff, but the squishy damn act.

"My lord, you can't waste food, let's eat first." He seemed to have expected it, and Alan Baier could only sit down and say. "You first."

The prime minister ate it without hesitation, because it was prepared for a group of people, and there were a lot of them. He almost divided out the whole person according to the level that he could eat, and then ate it quickly. Even so, Alan Bayer waited for more than half an hour. Only then did he make sure he was ready to eat the food.

After all, being defensive is a must.

He tasted the food here, and when he entered his mouth, he felt the special exotic feeling.

"This is?" he asked.

The prime minister replied. "Heat chestnut heart, heat at high temperature and then quickly cover the pot, cook the food with the residual heat and moisture of the ingredients, and maintain the original cooking technique."

"It's interesting, but you don't need to be so concerned." Alan Bayer's attitude softened slightly. After all, the people on the other side are really polite. Although it seems stupid in the current emergency, the reason for this is because this fortress was once a military force. , there were many internal problems, so powers were delegated to many officials.This kind of social atmosphere in which civil and military affairs are separated but emphasize military affairs over civil affairs dissatisfies officials who have gained a lot of power. However, they can only endure under the power of the lord. Therefore, Alan Bayer subconsciously feels that this prime minister is also one of those who want to rely on the lord when he is weak. A person who seeks power and usurps the throne.

But yes, there are always smart people who should realize that if the lord really dies, then the human beings here will be divided internally, and external forces will invade on a large scale. Therefore, no matter how fierce the conflict is, it will stabilize in the face of the threat of orc invasion, and it seems that It is not impossible that the strange and twisted social system here has existed for hundreds or thousands of years.

When the meal was over, Alan Bair wiped his mouth, and the Catachan sergeants who followed him in were also full of wine and food.

At this moment, the prime minister suddenly changed his previous delay and extended his hand. "My lord, the lord's room is ahead. Let's go."

"What, is the lord's condition finally healed?" Alan Bayer was a little surprised. He really made the mistake of blaming this person. It turned out that he was not a guy who was greedy for desire and power.

When he walked into the room with his guards, you must know that they were fully armed, and there were large armed forces outside that were enough to break the entire fortress defense. From this, it seemed that they would not be able to encircle Kata in a short time no matter what. Changchun Guards and Aylan Bair, unless they can perform orbital bombardment.

And Alan Bayer ordered that once there is no radio report for more than 3 minutes after entering, then the artillery will be fired, and the Falakshian Armored Regiment will raze the place to the ground.

He didn't believe that anyone could kill the most elite Catachan troops in such a narrow place in less than 3 minutes, so they strode into the room. Maintaining a high degree of war mode, even the individual soldier's auspicious instrument scanned the interior of the castle to make sure there were no traps or ambushes.

On the way, the prime minister was suddenly pulled away by a servant. He quickly walked to a fork on the outside, but because there was no problem with the auspicious device, they didn't care.

They were already familiar with the interior of this room before they arrived. When the fortune teller showed an ability that far exceeded the detection ability of the naked eye and accepted the information, Alan Bayer stepped into the room, and the middle-aged man who was different from what he imagined, To be precise, it should be a middle-aged old man. His actual age is already very old, thanks to the empire's life extension ability.

He had brown hair and was sitting in a simple room, leaning against the table, drinking wine in his pajamas.

And here, it is simple and plain. At first glance, it looks like an ordinary person's room. Except that it is relatively large, there is also a thick fog, so thick that the aroma of the void whale becomes a bit uncomfortable and nauseating...

And that old man, if he is a lord, then he is not healthy?It's not healthy there, it seems to be Amset, high!
Alan Bair was a little surprised, and the old man was even more surprised when he saw the commander of the Imperial Guard. He was stunned for a moment, and then cursed. "Why are you still pretending to be an officer? Is Alan Bair a hero that you guys can get your hands on?"

"Even if I die, I will not agree to let go of my rights. Tell your master!"

He waved the bottle feebly, and the thing flew towards him very quickly. Alan Bayer barely dodged it, but he originally wanted to catch it, but found that his body was a little slow.

When the broken sound came from the wall, the old man was surprised and cursed. "You're pretty awesome."

"Why, what's so great about dodging a bottle like this?" Alan Bayer added, a little amused. "Are you the old lord, Strong Shield?"

But he said. "I'm not. I'm a prisoner. I don't even have the strength to open the unlocked door. It's so pitiful. I see my territory being invaded by orcs, and I'm restrained and can't help myself."

"But if you weren't..."

His face darkened and he said immediately. "This place is full of weak poisonous gas. The longer you stay here, the weaker you will become. I have taken medicine three or four times to look normal. They want my rights, so they keep me alive. What kind of imported void whale?" Fragrant, this is simply their conspiracy!”

"It looks like you, I don't know who you are, but my experience tells me that you have no idea about this. How long have you been in here? 2 hours?"

Alan Bayer lowered his head and thought. "How long..." he realized as he was dealing with the problem, they started smelling in the car and he fell asleep...

"Master Chief, how long have we been walking in the car?" Alan Bair asked immediately.

"Three hours, including meals, it's almost five hours." He replied calmly, and dialed the radio according to the normal procedures, but found that the communicator had lost its ability to communicate...

Alan Bair showed a wry smile, but the old man said. "You can still be so energetic for five hours. You may be the most muscular or will-powerful group of people I have ever seen, but so what, we are all fish now, but I have a question, are you really..."

At this moment, the prime minister came slowly. He was surrounded by dozens of guards, all young and middle-aged. Moreover, they were not regular troops, but private armed forces similar to mercenaries. They raised their weapons against the Skadi people.

"Let me answer, he is indeed the guy who resisted Wandering Port and Lord Bandertal, and he is now my meat ticket, old man, I don't need you anymore, his value is greater, as long as Skadi's The king will hand it over to Wandering Port, this rubbish fortress, which is all orcs' things, so I can say goodbye to him!" The young man walked into the room and changed his previous politeness. Of course, he was still elegant and full of aristocratic atmosphere, and he was in harmony with the people here. Rogue military misfits.

The old man immediately stood up from the table, joined the ranks of the Skadis, as if to express his dissatisfaction, and spat at the young vizier. "Fuck you*, you grew up here as a human being, your family taught you a lot, but you only learned how to seek power!"

The young man wiped the liquid from his face. "But people don't kill the world for themselves. You waste your ability in this dilapidated place, fighting and fighting with orcs all your life. In my eyes, why aren't you an old orc? Why isn't this place an orc den? It doesn’t matter, as long as you go up through the roaming port, you will start with the position of lord, then the red pirate advisor, and then the high position above ten thousand people.”

"And you, Skadi's master, you'd better cooperate with me."

Alan Bayer held his gun, but found that he actually felt it was heavy. After entering the room, the aroma became stronger and stronger, as if it was stimulating poison.
