Warhammer Throne

Early in the morning, Emperor Karl-Franz woke up from his sleep.

The bright morning light illuminates the interior of the hut. When the emperor barely opened his eyes, he found himself lying on a carpet of animal skins. There is no doubt that this is a good animal skin blanket from his court. Even so, the hard ground still made the emperor feel a little uncomfortable in his shoulders and back.

The emperor soon felt ashamed of this situation. He almost forced himself to drive away his sleepiness. The emperor violently lifted the quilt on his body so that the early morning cold could penetrate into his body and force him So he wakes up.

Carl ah Carl, have years of pampering life have made you slack off? The emperor scolded himself secretly.

I don’t know, Karl Franz is in his early 50s this year. For legendary humans, this age can be regarded as a real manhood, which means that experience and skills are at the peak, and physical fitness is not yet. Began to decline.

However, the emperor was dissatisfied with his state, very dissatisfied.

After many years of internal affairs and court careers, as the emperor, after he actually came to the throne, his fighting power and skills can be said to have not improved much, because too many internal affairs and various court activities almost exhausted the emperor’s energy, making him Almost not much energy to temper and strengthen their martial arts, to feel deeper power.

When he was young, he used to be a warrior. He mined with the soldiers in the barracks. During the march, he only needed some bacon, brown bread, and ale to maintain a strong fighting force.

Getting up from the blanket, the emperor inspected it. It was a small wooden house, a bit like a hunter’s cabin, but a bit like a guest room. The memory soon returned to the emperor’s mind. He remembered that he and his army had come out. Hunting is a routine autumn hunting activity in the empire, and it is also one of the few routine palace activities that the emperor likes. He can enjoy hunting time for three days and two nights.

Yes, it is now the autumn of the 2519th year of the imperial calendar.

This year has been a troubled year for the entire old world.

At the beginning of the year, several human settlements near the gray and black mountains began to be attacked. Any attempt to rescue them was too late. When the army arrived, only a piece of ruins could be seen. After all, the human army could not enter the mountains. Go deep.

At this time, the empire and Bretania once again abandoned their premonitions and chose to unite together, sending troops to each other to fight together, and the shadow war beasts were driven into the deeper part of the gray mountains, at least on the surface.

However, the empire does not seem to have any chance to breathe. After just solving the threat of the shadow war beasts, immediately, a new beastman war beasts rose from the old world. It is the famous worm tongue tribe, and it is the leader of this terrible beast. The army of people is the legendary beastman and beast king Morak-Insect Tongue. This is a sanctuary beast king who believes in Nurg. It is an existence that is hated by gods and ghosts. Wherever it passes, all fertile fields become deserts. The forest has become a barren land full of poisonous insects. As long as it passes by, a lightly finger and a dark spell can release destructive power to any land and any power that protects it.

Large swarms of hungry skeleton locusts are like living storms, gnawing on the fertile fields mercilessly. After a while, these fields become barren land where no grass grows.

As its chuckle with sticky phlegm sounded, the pure river became inaccessible bile. All it took was to praise Nurgle, and the sky was suddenly filled with a large number of twisted and wriggling fly maggots, which fell into the lake violently like hail. The barn that was originally piled with corn and barley was occupied by rotten and foul mud, and the sweet and delicious ale became thick and dirty saliva.

The emperor knew that Morakot Worm Tongue must not be allowed to enter the core area of ​​the empire. Under his order, Rick led an army. Marshal Rick Heilberg led a large army and encountered the worm at Six Peaks. Tongue tribe.

Heilberg fought bravely, but caught off guard, the imperial army still struggled with the siege of the Tongue Tribe and Morakot’s witchcraft, until Gelt led Thor’s army to appear, the wind of devotion agitated, hundreds of bighorn beasts Under the change of ultimate alchemy, it turned into a golden statue. Artillery from the Alchemy Academy and the addition of the Elderard Guard finally turned the imperial army back into victory.

This is the battle of the Six Peaks.

But before the empire could breathe a sigh of relief, immediately, the letter asking for help from the dwarves of the rapids reached Karl Franz's desk from afar.

Rapids is surrounded by a large army of green-skinned goblins! The Riptide Pass with only more than 25,000 residents had to face no less than their own powerful enemies. The dwarf king Ballentine-Stonehearted of Riptide Pass had to put aside his previous prejudices and ask for help from the empire and the dwarven fortresses.

However, the enemy came faster than expected. Before the arrival of the reinforcements of the Supreme King Thorgrin and the butcher King Agrim-Iron Fist, Riptide Guan had suppressed Greenskin's offensive by relying on his own artillery fire.

Until the emergence of a large group of ogre mercenaries, this group of terrifying ogre mercenaries almost turned the tide of the battle for a time, forcing the dwarf army to withdraw completely into the fortress of Riptide. The desperate king of Valentin even planned for a time. The gate is closed and guarded.

But at this time, the reinforcements of the Empire Nur arrived. This is the first heir to Lady Emmanuel, the son of Knight King Ryan, the godson of Emperor Karl-Franz, and the 16-year-old Baron Nur Frey. Derek von Lebwitz-Bernardino's first game.

It is unrealistic to determine how Frederick’s talents are just by relying on a war, but the young baron demonstrated his terrifying command ability and arrangement of artillery positions in his first appearance. Ability, with hundreds of guns of all colors, the green-skinned army and the ogre mercenaries were completely destroyed. This battle was called the "Battle of the Hundred Cannons". After the war, King Valentin-Stone Heart of Rapids Pass The author and Frederick exchanged tokens of friendship.

The continuous wars almost gave Karl Franz and his empire almost no chance to breathe, and finally waited until the fighting subsided everywhere, the emperor had to spare a few days of autumn hunting, and he only wanted to rest for two days.

Karl-Franz was still thinking about something. There was footsteps outside. The sound of footsteps was very heavy. The emperor subconsciously stretched his hand to the Rune Fang beside him: "Who?!"

"It's me, Your Majesty, [biqugeso.me] Jintelai."

The emperor let out a sigh of relief and relaxed: "Please come in."

Rick's guard brought the attendant with a basin of water and a breakfast, brioche butter, omelette, Thuringian sausage and vegetable salad.

The emperor took the towel and washed his face with clean water. When washing his face, the emperor’s always bad sense of humor came into play again: "You must have something to come here this time? Gentry, let’s just say that I hate guessing. , Especially when you wake up."

"There is indeed a situation." Gentley said helplessly: "On the hunting ground, we found a few poachers."

"It's okay to expel according to the rules." The emperor rubbed his face with a towel, and he didn't care about it: "But let's not take it as an example."

"That's a few Kislov hunters." Gentley said helplessly: "They had a conflict with the Rick people, the Rick people...especially those hunters who demanded that all these guys be executed."

The towel was thrown directly into the basin.

The emperor took a deep breath, opened his mouth, and finally commented on the word "Oh!"

This kind of news is nothing new in recent years. After Kislov’s demise, a large number of Mrs. Kiesler poured into the empire. These Mrs. Kiesler had very, very many conflicts with the natives of the empire. If It is said that race, culture, language, and customs have made the two sides hostile to each other, so what really causes a lot of conflicts between the two sides is the dispute on the job.

To put it simply, Mrs. Keesler is more "cheaper" in any sense. In low-end service industries and a lot of manual labor, hiring a Rick leader may require a salary of ten copper coins a day, but Mrs. Keesler only Five copper coins are willing to do it.

The influx of a large number of Mrs. Keesler into Rickling has made a large number of low-end labor markets occupied by these people. Many Ricklings have lost their jobs for subsistence and naturally cherished grudges. The two sides have appeared on a large scale more than once. The **** conflict made the emperor very headache. The leader of Rick was the emperor's basic board, but more often they were the party who made trouble unreasonably and provoked the conflict.

How can this be judged?

The emperor couldn't help but complain, why didn't these people go to Ryan?

The aristocratic manor across the mountain is also recruiting workers all day long. They need people to collect corn and pop cotton. The knight masters often provide watermelon and banana self-help, and occasionally fried chicken and grape-flavored soda are available on holidays!

Karl-Franz actually criticized Brittany’s occupation of Olengrad and the fortification of Kislov, but one was that the imperial finances were unable to support Katharine’s re-establishment, and the second was One is that both Emmanuel and Boris Toddbringer believed that a barrier was still needed in the north of the empire, and the emperor didn't say anything.

"Expulse, tell the local hunters that they have the ability to hunt wild orcs in the forest to earn bounty! This is a royal hunting ground, no one is allowed to hunt here again, and let me find the emperor who blames them. Ruthless!" Carl's eyes sharpened: "Also, tell me, Gentle, when we are fully focused on the west, is there any new news from Sylvania?"

"Steer leads the report, Silvania is relatively calm." Gentley checked the news and shook his head.

"Very well, the dead had better be a dead person in the tomb." The emperor nodded, and he said tiredly: "Don't come out to make trouble."

...I'm the dividing line to make trouble...

Old world, south of the roof of the world.

Nagashza.

Nagashzha is known as the pit of cursed. It is the lair where Nagash escaped after being defeated by the kings of the tomb. It is one of the most powerful fortresses known in the world.

It was built by the tireless labor of countless undead spirits. The fortress is about 800 meters high above the desert. It was excavated directly on the Lap Peak. Therefore, the top of the mountain is its highest spire, and hundreds of large towers stand on the side of the mountain, and their windows emit a terrible green magical light when the night falls.

Here, dozens of undead legions are under the control of hundreds of undead wizards to continuously strengthen and reinforce the entire city fortress day and night. For thousands of years, the entire mountain range has been completely hollowed out, and countless corridors and corridors have been dug inside. There are thousands of rooms, and the undead do not need to think about humans, so after Nagash is half dead, they only have one task left, which is to guard the master's fortress.

Four giant gate guards guard the gate of Nagashzha. These are four skeletal giants tens of meters high. On the city wall are tens of hundreds of skeletal trebuchets, ready to throw the sky toward the besieged army at any time. Bone artillery fire.

Under the fortress, there is an underground tunnel twice as deep as the fortress, and a huge honeycomb-like maze of mines filled with undead quarries. These labyrinth corridors are patrolled tirelessly by Nagash’s necromantic sentries, who are always on guard against rat people who try to sneak back.

Nagash, the lord of the dead, is now in a state of immortality, or Schrödinger’s unknown state. His consciousness is semi-conscious, but with only one skull left, he can’t do anything. He can accomplish his goals by constantly planning and exerting influence, and through various divinations and whispers to let his agent know what he is going to do.

Just like the decayed corpse emperor who once sat on the golden throne, Nagash’s will is difficult to understand, but there has never been a shortage of necromancers who come to Nagashza for pilgrimage. He is even regarded as a **** and believes that one day he will lead them to conquer the world again from the fortress.

After waiting for many years, the necromancers did not wait for the real return of Nagash, but they waited for someone.

The last earl of vampire, Manfred von Kastein.

Manfred showed Arkhan’s proof that the Count Dracula entered into Nagashza. He sincerely and in a firm and sincere tone told the necromancers in Nagashzai that he wanted to resurrect Nagashza. How much effort Gash put in, how he formed an alliance with the Lich King Arkhan, and fought for the resurrection of the Necromancer for the rest of his life.

The necromancers were skeptical of Manfred's words, but Manfred showed more evidence, including the third of the nine books of Nagash and the fallen blade that once killed Nagash.

After seeing the evidence, the necromancers of Nagashza decided to ask the Necromancer's answer through divination.

Soon, they got a positive reply.

Therefore, the ghost wizards of Nagashza swore an oath to make a terrible contract with the vampire earl—to help them achieve their lofty goals, and to summon the Lord of the Dead to return to the mortal world and rule the world again.

After a lapse of more than a thousand years, Nagashza has recovered again, dozens of undead legions and hundreds of undead wizards are ready to go, waiting for Manfred's orders.

It also announced the Nagash resurrection plan, which was officially launched with the cooperation of Manfred and Arkhan.
