Warhammer Throne

The emperor’s emergency order plunged the entire Braunschweig into chaos. Almost all of the standing army was mobilized. Rarely, the gate of the castle was opened wide by the Rick guard. Team after team of Rick guards, even Including those recruits, they are all being mobilized.

Each barracks was assembled under the orders of the imperial generals and captains of the imperial empire, and even included some conscripts in service and veterans who had just retired for a year or two. A huge number of troops flooded the streets and alleys, causing wave after wave. The guesswork and confusion.

The Imperial Royal Wizarding Academy was also disturbed by the emperor’s messenger. The imperial wizards who were conducting various researches were forced to stop their experiments or teaching, and under the emperor’s order, they packed up and prepared to go to the battlefield. Receive the first actual combat education on the battlefield.

The Cathedral of Justice in Braunschweig is not so dynamic-due to the huge losses in the martyrdom of the Talfjord, Archbishop of Justice Vicma was able to support Emperor Karl-Franz but was helpless, but the archbishop did nothing. The church treasury managed to use 7,500 golden marks as military funds to provide emergency support to the emperor in terms of military pay.

The Braunschweig military factory also entered the general mobilization. In addition to the engineers necessary to maintain production, dozens of war machines and artillery were pushed out of the factory, the warehouse was opened, and all the reserve muskets and bullets were transported out of the factory.

The dozen or so knights emperors led by Rick all sent messengers. I don’t know how many people will be able to arrive in time, but Karl-Franz can’t manage that much anymore. After about half a day’s emergency preparations, the emperor immediately announced Set off!

The capital is about a thousand kilometers away from the Black Fire Pass, and time waits for no one! Assuming that Greenskin reaches the gate of the Black Fire Pass in three weeks, Rick's army will have to march for 50 kilometers every day to catch up!

Even if you don’t need to think about supplying these, you can prepare along the way, even if you get a relatively reliable cobblestone road or granite gravel road from Rick to Ivey, Ivey also paves the cobblestone road because of the money, but A march of 50 kilometers in Japan is still too reluctant for the army. Emperor Karl-Franz can almost only hope that the army led by the Three Guards of the Badlands and the Prince of the Border will last longer, so that the greenskins will come slower, or that The always neurotic elector and his best friend Marius-Letterdorf have a way to hinder the speed of Greenskins.

Damn it! Why did 100,000 greenskins suddenly appear to attack the Black Fire Pass?

Is this reasonable?

Emperor Karl-Franz didn't think so much anymore. The gates of Braunschweig opened wide. After half a day of emergency preparations, an army of thousands was ready to go.

Not too much, but someone will join in later.

Rows of Rick's guards with golden and silver armor, behind them are draped with a griffon cloak that symbolizes the emperor's family, followed by three steam tanks-these steel behemoths will be thrown into the battlefield, and then the Braunschweig Royal Guard of Honor , The Franz Guards, the garrison of several legions of Braunschweig, and later the large group of knights, the sunset knights in the capital, the cheetah knights, the sable knights, and the sun knights All are ready for the expedition.

In the singing of praise to Emperor Charlemagne and Ludwig the savior, the sons of the empire officially set off.

The emperor raised the hammer Gail Malaz and addressed his army, his people, and gave a speech.

"Steel!"

With spears like forests and iron armors like mountains, rows of knights roared at the slogan of the empire.

"gunpowder!"

The engine of the steam tank is emitting white smoke, the war machines of various colors are ready for battle, and the black hole muzzles of the musketeers are ready to aim at the enemy at any time.

"Belief!"

The words fell, the army opened, the gates of Brunswick opened wide, and the army left the city.

As the defender of the empire, Emperor Karl-Franz’s political level was superior to diplomacy, and his diplomatic level was superior to military level. However, it would be a big mistake to underestimate his military capabilities. The emperor’s military capabilities are already It has been proved in wars, and even his personal martial arts is recognized as a warrior in the old world.

It's just that Emperor Karl-Franz seemed a little less prominent compared to the dazzling military achievements of the Sun King next door.

This army marched quickly. After leaving Braunschweig, it followed the road along the Rick River. New troops joined in the middle of the way. After a few days, the emperor and his army had arrived in Rick. Leading the famous town in the east, Glenborg.

Here, the emperor got good news and bad news.

The good news is that Ivan, Duke of Griffin and Anton, Earl of Griffin, came with most of the Griffin Knights. Among the nearly 400 Griffin Knights, 20 or 30 of them are truly riding Griffins. Elite knights, the remaining more than 300 knights are all riding half-griffins.

The joining of this army greatly strengthened the emperor’s confidence in this war. The Griffin Knights are the most important weapon of the empire. The arrival of the critical moment at this time not only made the victory a little more certain, but also greatly stimulated the morale of the army. .

In April 2520 of the imperial calendar, it rained and Rick led the east.

Glennberg is also known as the "Rick's Granary". There are large tracts of cultivated fields and livestock farms everywhere. When the emperor led an army to Glennberg, Richard von Glenn, Duke of Glennberg Fort has led all the nobles to prepare a place for basic supplies and placement of the army, and invited the emperor to stay in his noble manor.

Emperor Karl-Franz did not want to stay here more, but it started to rain heavily at this time. Rick's army not only did not benefit from the rain, but it would also cause army fatigue and transportation loss, so The emperor could only order to be stationed near the manor while cursing the **** weather.

As always, the Iron Triangle Marshal Heilberg, who belonged to the emperor, was here, but the other great alchemist Gelt was not there, and the army of the Alchemy Academy was still waiting on the road.

"Your Majesty, please use it." The attendant brought fresh hot milk to Emperor Karl-Franz. The emperor softly said thank you, took the cup, and then asked the attendant: "Did the army drink hot milk? ?"

"We tried our best to supply." The attendant lowered his head.

Karl-Franz took a sip of hot milk and was placed on the table without touching it again.

"Your Majesty, if the rain continues to be so heavy, it is almost impossible for us to reach the Black Fire Pass within three weeks." Marshal Rick Heilberg's long, perfect moustache was also wet by the rain, Marshal Rick His face was gloomy and even a little unlucky: "After a few days of rapid march, the army is a bit tired."

"I know, but we have no choice. We can only hope that Marshal Lucien can hold the green skin longer, or Marius can find a way." Emperor Karl-Franz patted his thigh hard: "Who I didn't expect that the **** green skin would suddenly come out!"

"It's not the worst!" Ivan, Duke of Griffon, touched his long beard.

Yes, the good news that the emperor got was that the Griffin Knights basically arrived, but the bad news was that the Nur army refused to dispatch for a simple reason. Most of Nur’s court and Nur’s military commanded it. The system is taking part in the river cruise ceremony in Brittany!

In the case that none of the three of Emmanuel Emmanuel, Grand Marshal Noor, and Frederick Noor can be determined by Noor, the army of Noor will not assign the army to the emperor. Under the command of him.

At this time, Nuer had only a small number of generals and court nobles. They refused to send troops after receiving the emperor’s order. The reason is simple. If the emperor cannot stop the enemy at the black fire pass, then Nuer must at least ensure that he has enough The army defended the city, just like when the Tamuk Khan invaded.

After receiving this news, the emperor spent a lot of energy to resist the gaffe in front of others. He knew very well that he faced the green skin without the support of the heavy artillery, war equipment, and gun regiment of Nur’s army. This giant waaagh! It will be harder than ever.

The messenger tried to communicate with the city council of Noor, but the city council always refused. They said that the question is very simple, when will we get the handwriting signed by the lady and when will we be dispatched.

The key is to send a letter to Emmanuel and ask the messenger to return to Nur with her manuscript, and then when will Nur send his troops? The messenger used to take at least seven or eight days, even if it can save a lot of time by magical transmission, it takes five or six days to go back and forth!

So it's no wonder that Manfred would like to thank Ryan for his great help. The command system of the Nuer Army and the Bafeng Mountain dwarves have been adjusted when the tiger is removed from the mountain. The Sun King who has not participated in the battle is simply the best in the game!

"The Nur Army can't join the war, we can only rely on ourselves, Your Majesty." Griffin Earl Anton is also a middle-aged man in his 50s this year. Although he is no longer young, he also has a beard. But his enthusiasm and bravery have never changed: "If we count this, we should be able to have about 25,000 people participating in the war."

"We and Gelt should have 25,000 people, Ivey led 15,000 people, and the total number is about 40,000." Marshal Rick Heilberg analyzed the situation, and a huge map was spread on the table. The old marshal took his marshal's scepter and pointed it on the black fire pass: "The green leather has one hundred thousand, and what's worse, if you want to march so forcefully, when you get to the black fire pass, I doubt the soldiers can still afford weapons. ."

"But we must guard the Black Fire Pass!" Karl Franz slammed a punch on the table, and he said angrily: "Otherwise, if you let this green-skinned giant waaagh! Enter the huge plain of Ivey, then a whole year The collection of Chengdu is over!"

"The empire is very weak now." Ivan also looked serious, and the Duke Griffin asked Marshal Rick, "Where is Steier? Can Hout-Anderson support it in time?"

"It's better than nothing." Heilberg shook his head: "You all know what level of the army led by Steier, it's okay to fight security and defensive battles, and there will never be too many in number. They have to defend Sylvanni. Along the line of Asia."

Everyone chatted a few more words, and there is no more way at present.

After a worried dinner, the emperor didn’t even remember what he had eaten. He sat in the manor and found it more uncomfortable as he sat in the manor. He had to stand up and plan to walk outside. The emperor’s banner officer and champion Ludwig Gerschwarzhammer immediately led a team of Rick guards to protect the emperor.

Walking through fences and wheat fields, passing through windmills and big trees, the emperor noticed a group of imperial soldiers sitting around and warming the fire. They were sitting together cursingly, putting their weapons aside, cursing ghost weather, and cursing military supplies at the same time. official.

The food was not very good, hard bread, stewed beans, cabbage, a glass of low-quality beer and a bowl of broth with minced oil, three people divided a sausage.

"I'm exhausted! Hurry up these days, my feet are rubbing and blistering!"

"You're just grinding and blistering, but I even worn out my boots!"

"Damn greenskin, Charlemagne cursed you!"

"You said, it is understandable that your majesty wants us to march in a hurry. After all, it is the **** green skin coming, but can the food be better?" A soldier complained: "That's it? Pigs don't eat it!"

"It's definitely not your majesty's problem, it must be the quartermaster's problem!" someone yelled: "Your Majesty has always been the most protective and caring about us. It must be the **** quartermaster Rod! He swallowed things!"

After the emperor heard this, his face was ugly. He took his hands and walked away quickly in the rain: "Go and call me Rod!"

"Yes!"

A few minutes later, the quartermaster General Rod came to meet the emperor with a disgraced face: "Your Majesty, are you looking for me?"

"What's the matter? Rod?" The emperor wanted to ask directly, but saw that General Rod's face was covered with a lot of scars. His tone eased and he turned to concern: "Why are you injured? Is there an enemy nearby? "

"No... just something happened." General Rhode shook his head.

"Tell me the truth, my general." The emperor's state changed a lot in an instant, he said sternly, completely unable to see the kindness of the previous second.

"It's just that some soldiers complained that the food was too poor. For four days, it was all broth. Only two meals had meat, which was a stew mixed with cabbage and carrots. They came to the logistics department to make trouble." General Rhode shook his head helplessly: "But We have tried our best, Your Majesty, if something is urgent, where is so much food temporarily requisitioned."

"Didn't I ask you to send a food conquest team to collect food everywhere?" The emperor asked suspiciously, "It's impossible that Rick will not be able to collect food here, right?"

"People have been sent, but the effect is not good, Your Majesty." The quartermaster said with a wry smile: "Last year, Rick had a poor harvest and the family didn’t have a lot of surplus food. Your Majesty also strictly ordered us not to conquer. The farmer said that the weather today is very strange, it is particularly cold and there are often hail, the rain is very heavy, the seedlings are flooded badly, and probably this year's harvest will not be too good."

This remark made the emperor frown. Since last year, the entire old world has been like a madman. In just a few months, there were more than a dozen orc tribes raging in the empire this year, the plague spread on a large scale, crop production was reduced, and the chaos sect The activities are extremely frequent.

Rickling has always been the province with the largest number of self-cultivating farmers. Needless to say, the benefits of self-cultivating farmers needless to say. They have their own weapons, strong combat effectiveness, low cost, and high overall quality. However, it is very difficult to collect grain from self-cultivating farmers, which is different from serfs and tenants. Self-employed farmers must give priority to ensuring that they have enough food before they consider selling surplus grain. If they are forced to conquer, the emperor’s prestige will be greatly affected.

Originally, the empire could also import a large amount of grain from Brittany for military rations. However, this year I don’t know why, the Sun King Ryan suddenly adjusted the national policy and drastically reduced the grain exports to the empire. It is said that it was from his new world. Wei Zifeng placed a huge order, which made it impossible for the rations of the period when the army was not available.

The empire is weak now, the emperor thought of it.

Strange, why is there no such thing as climate change, plagues and frequent activities of wild orcs in Bretania?

No, that's Ryan's business, it has nothing to do with me.

I must not fall, the army must not fall, and the empire must never fall.

"Rick Guard!"

"exist!"

The emperor quickly wrote a note from the table: "You, take this, and go to the Duke of Glenborg! Let him open his private storage room!"

"Yes!"

The Rick guards went out. This action would obviously offend the nobles, but it would allow the soldiers to get the much-needed nourishment so that they would not pass out on the way to the forcible march.

The emperor is on top, may you bless your empire and tide over the difficulties!
