The Sun King's Evidence

In the main camp of Border City, tens of thousands of imperial troops have gathered here. The emperor managed to gather all the elites from the southern part of the empire. Even the halfling leader Mutt sent a group of halfling archers and a group of halflings. The Crucible Artillery came to help defend Blackfire Pass.

But even so, when the greenskins were only two days away from the Blackfire Pass, the army led by Rick, the army led by Nuer, and the army led by Thor arrived belatedly, and after such an intense forced march, the army could be said to be They were extremely exhausted, especially Rick leading the army. Many soldiers had just arrived at the camp and fell asleep before they could set up camp. Many of them were so tired that their ankles were swollen. Even those who were not swollen had their legs shaking.

There was only one day to rest, and even if it was to rest, the soldiers had to start civil work and defense deployment at Blackfire Pass.

But there is also good news. In Ivyland, which is rich in food and has the highest level of agriculture and animal husbandry, the food for the army has become better. The rich food includes barley bread, imperial stout and ale, and baked pies. and barbecue greatly allayed the dissatisfaction of the soldiers.

People were surprised by the rich storage of Elector Marius. When carts of cured meats, confit meats, bacon and dehydrated grains were transported from the major noble castles, manors and towns in Iverland, the imperial army ate them all. The food was good, and after the long forced march, everyone finally felt some comfort.

Of course, as a close friend of Marius, Karl Franz knew Marius very well. This was a guy with a "hamster cancer" quirk. He especially liked to hoard everything. It is said that since the elector took office, He was particularly keen on hoarding all kinds of military supplies and food supplies. According to the crazy count, it was to prepare for emergencies. Marius even boasted that he had enough weapons, bullets and artillery in Avelheim for fifty years. There is enough food for three years.

Under what circumstances would such a huge amount of bullets and artillery be consumed? The emperor expressed doubts and confusion about this.

Aren't you afraid that if the warehouse is not managed well, a big explosion may occur accidentally?

Elector Marius said that whatever the emperor's opinion was, I liked it.

I~ just~ like it.

“I’m lovin’ it!”

The emperor could only let him go.

Even so, the imperial army still suffered a lot of attrition during the forced march. To make matters worse, they also encountered harassment, desertion, fatigue and illness from many beastman tribes along the way. In the end, there were only eight out of ten soldiers. To remain in sight before reaching Blackfire Pass, the emperor expected that only about 20,000 of the 25,000 coalition troops led by Rexor would be able to join the battle.

Even if Nur's reinforcements were included, there were still less than 25,000 men in the end. After joining forces with Aviland, the emperor knew that these 40,000 men were all he had to fight against this green-skin frenzy.

Building positions, placing artillery, deploying defenses, everything is going on in full swing. The current controller of Sol Territory is the chief wizard of the Imperial Royal Family, the dean of the Alchemy Academy, the great alchemist, and the great wizard of the metal sanctuary, Bayer Shazer. -Gelt found Frederick, who was mobilizing the Nuer army and setting up artillery positions. The expression on the metal mask of the great alchemist could not be seen clearly, and his voice with the sound of metal friction was emotionless: "Frey? Are you free?"

"Mentor?" Frederick was a little confused. Galt rarely spoke to him with this attitude. The Baron knew that he was a bit of a loser, so he nodded quickly: "I'm free."

"Then come with me." Galt turned around and left. Frederick told him to follow him quickly.

The master and the apprentice walked a few hundred meters in tandem and found a relatively deserted place. The green wheat fields in the distance, the rotating style, and the farmers plowing in the spring amid tension and worry, formed a lonely area. A beautiful picture of Ivyland.

"Frey? What on earth are you doing?" The great alchemist turned around and asked directly, the sound of metal friction unique to his metal face carrying a serious and critical tone: "Do you know what on earth you are doing?"

"What am I doing? Aren't I preparing to set up artillery positions?" Frederick looked confused when asked by his instructor.

"Yes, you came with your people. You even had time to go back to Nuer, scolded the Nuer nobles who refused to send troops, and then mobilized the transportation of Wesenland and Nuer to let the five legions Rush to the front line." Geert nodded, and the great alchemist said very seriously: "Are you aware of the problem?"

"Question?" Frederick was stunned for a while when he was asked. The young baron was a little at a loss. His face was dull when Geert said it. After an awkward silence for a minute, he finally tried: " Mentor, are you saying that I didn’t do the right thing by coming to support you? But..."

"Tell me first, what happened to the Sun King and the Baroness?" Galt nodded and then shook his head: "Tell me first, in more detail."

"About a day after the news was sent to Brunswick, my father had already received news that there was a huge green-skinned waaagh! approaching the Blackfire Pass." Frederick really didn't understand why his metal-faced mentor Being so excited, it can be seen that the young baron did not dare to trust his mentor so seriously.

After receiving the news, Emilia's first reaction was actually not to mobilize the Nuer Army.

The reason is simple. The first is that when Tamu Khan invaded, the emperor's army did not provide timely support to Nur. Emilia was very worried that if the imperial army could not hold the Blackfire Pass (just like Gorbad the Iron Claw and The two invasions of the Pot-Belly King Gulu), then Nuer's army must at least ensure the safety of its own city.

The second is that Emilia has always held a grudge against the previous slut incident. Coupled with the deep conflicts between the traditions of Nuer and Aiwei, and her lack of understanding of military matters, Emilia has no interest in sending troops. .

However, Ryan didn't think so. The father told the mother, in short, what time has it been? Don't dare to let the greenskins rush into the vast plains of the empire, even if only Ivey leads Being destroyed is still a devastating blow to the empire, and Emilia's Nuer must not stay out of it.

After being told by Ryan, Emilia was forced to agree to send troops. Originally, this matter was to be led by Marshal Noor Erstein, but after hearing this, Frederick volunteered to come.

Of course, the Baron only said that he was concerned about the safety of his godfather and the empire, and insisted on the dream of building a community with a shared future for mankind, hiding the idea that he wanted to show off in front of the little queen.

After hearing this, Galt shook his head helplessly, and was a little disappointed by his tone: "Do you know, Frey, the army led by Sol encountered Nuer's army on the road, and the Nuer people's decision to you Complaints? They complained, we are obviously a free and independent city, how come we have become the emperor's leashed dog? According to this, shouldn't our baron be allowed to be the emperor's godson at all? Lest we teach a loyal dog ?”

"If you are so eager to be a dog for Karl-Franz, why do you want to bring us Nuer people with you?"

The young baron was horrified, and cold sweat broke out on Frederick's back.

Oops, I wanted to show off in front of my parents and Her Royal Highness Alisala too much, but I made such a huge mistake!

Seeing the drastic change in Frederick's face, Galt softened his tone slightly. Metal Face continued: "You are right to urgently mobilize troops to join the war, and it is also right to come to the front line in person, but you should not stand still. You should give the nobles a lesson, and you should not just come up and join them and hand over all command rights! You are too obedient, you are throwing away your base, and you are throwing away the support of the Nuer people. , you must remember that you are the first-in-line heir to the Baroness, and the heir to more than a dozen titles including the future Duke of Nour, the Elector, and the Grand Duke of Wesson!"

"I just... I just want to show off." Frederick said weakly. The Baron took out a towel from his coat pocket and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He really realized his problem now.

"Did something happen to you?" Metal Face reluctantly accepted this explanation, and the great alchemist said doubtfully: "You have received more than ten years of court education from the Baroness and the Emperor, and you have also received training from the Nuer Military and Maybach. Studying with a great engineer, you have no reason to handle this kind of thing like this, didn’t His Majesty Lane and Her Majesty the Baroness tell you?”

"Uh..." Frederick then remembered that he was indeed caught by his parents and said something before he left, but his thoughts at the time were all about being able to show off and show off in front of the little queen, and he didn't remember too much. clear.

Is this the eternal little queen? The Baron finally came to his senses.

"Then... what should I do now? Mentor?" Frederick then humbly asked Galt for advice: "How can..."

"You have already brought people to join forces, what else can you do." Galt shook his head: "It is already too late to do anything at this time, and it will not be conducive to the upcoming battle. You should try your best to perform well. It’s too late to do anything now.”

"Um... I'm sorry, Uncle Galt. I got carried away for a moment. Why is that little queen so charming?" Frederick grabbed his hair in annoyance. His hair was the same as Emilia's. It's gold.

"The Eternal Queen is the first choice of the Elf Mother Goddess Isa. She has inherited the power of the Eternal Queens of all generations. It is not difficult to understand." Galt shook his head: "Frey, fortunately, you are still young."

"Am I still young?" Frederic murmured.

"Youth is an excuse. You are only 17 years old this year. Being young means being vigorous and being young means making mistakes. This time, everyone will tolerate you, a 17-year-old underage boy. We all understand that the ancient sage The proverb says: After all, human beings are still too young, too simple, and sometimes very naive." Galt said the devilish words, and the metal face nodded: "Next time, don't make such a stupid mistake. If you lose the emperor's trust, , you are still your Duke Nur and the Elector, but if you lose the support of the nobles and common people in your territory, you will be exiled even if you are particularly strong."

"Yes." Frederick finally breathed out.

The master and apprentice were silent for a while. Frederick thought for a long time, and then he tried: "So, mentor, you also support me?"

"You are his son and grandson. If I don't support you, who else can I support?"

"tutor!"

"Go ahead and perform well in this battle. The future is yours."

…………I am the future and your dividing line…………

3 days later, before Blackfire Pass.

The imperial army gathered here, with dozens of legions ready to go.

On the left wing are the Nur Armored Army, the Nur Black Stone Guard, three Nur musketry regiments, two Nur artillery regiments, and the Gelt army of Solland. The army of Solland mainly consists of infantry regiments, crossbow regiments, The Pistol Cavalry Regiment was the main force. Due to the rapid march, Thor's army did not bring many artillery, only a few mortars, but the famous Eldrad Guards were already in full formation.

The central army is Emperor Karl-Franz's Reik's Army, which includes several knights, the Kronborg Sword Regiment, the Braunschweig Honor Guard, the Franz Guards Grand Regiment, and a large group of imperial infantry regiments. Three steam tanks, dozens of artillery pieces of various colors, as well as wizards and engineers are ready.

On the right wing was Ivey's army. Elector Marius Leitdorf volunteered to defend the right wing because he felt that good luck would always come to the right.

The greenskin army is approaching.

On the other side of the Black Fire Pass, huge black smoke and dust have risen, the footsteps and roars of the green tide can be faintly heard, and the unique odor of green skin is also diffused in the air.

Although the war is imminent, these imperial troops have experienced many battles and have seen a lot. Greenskins, Chaos, Undead, Beastmen, bandits, bandits and even human civil wars. What kind of mess have they not seen? Under the loud scoldings of the imperial captains, the reminders of the veterans, and the instincts developed in training, everyone stood in formation.

The Emperor of the Empire, Karl Franz, walked out in front of everyone's eyes. He walked firmly and looked calm.

All eyes were on him.

With much anticipation, Karl Franz stepped out from the crowd. He was wearing the emperor's mithril full-body plate armor, a gryphon gold-topped multi-colored kite feather helmet, and a silver artifact seal hanging on his chest. Hanging was the rune sword "Dragon Fang" that was the symbol of the Grand Prince of Reikland, and in his hand was the divine hammer Gal-Malaz, which symbolized the identity and power of the Human Emperor.

"I am Karl Franz, your emperor!" As everyone wished, the emperor made a speech before the war: "Together with you, I was born in the same world!"

The emperor's answer was only a gentle gasp.

"A war-torn, eerie world!" Karl-Franz did not shy away from all this: "But in the center of the old world, there once was a warrior who built a fortress of hope and courage!"

"That's the Empire!"

The gasping gradually became thicker.

empire! empire! That’s right, it’s the Empire!

"The Empire was built at the center of the old world. The Empire withstood the tide of destruction and the invasion of terror." The Emperor raised the symbol of the Human Emperor, and the hammer Gail-Malaz was shining in his hands.

"Empire! Empire! Empire!" Someone started shouting.

"Empire! Empire! Empire!" Someone began to whisper.

"We were once divided, we were once in decline, we were once close to falling apart, we once faced generals who were greedy for life, nobles who were corrupt and greedy, and the country was poor and weak. We failed again and again!" Karl - Franz said to everyone: "But we never really fell, we prospered again!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The soldiers hammered the ground, shields, and armor.

"Now, let us unite and let those evil enemies have a taste of the power of our empire!" The emperor clenched his fists and showed a cheerful smile: "Let us defeat those green-skinned bastards together!"

The hammer is raised high in the sky. More than two thousand years later, it will be the same as it was then. The successors of the Human Emperor will fight against the green tide of destruction here just like the Human Emperor himself back then!

"For Charlemagne, for the Empire, for Gael-Maraz!"

"I swear here in the name of the emperor that I will lead you to victory!"

The emperor's speech had not yet finished, but in the distance, the sound of the green-skinned trumpet had already resounded through the sky.

The third battle of Blackfire Pass has begun.
