Warhammer Throne

In fact, Tamuk Khan’s offensive was slower than expected.

In June, Blackheart Repp sent the news to Nur. Nur began to prepare for war. The whole city entered a state of martial law. According to the previous plan, Ogle Hawke, Marquis of Wesson, led one. Wesson led the army with more than 15,000 people and went to the Black Fire Pass to strengthen the defense.

Nur started to mobilize in an all-round way, waiting for the coming of the war.

However, unexpectedly, it is reasonable that Tamu Khan and his Chaos Army reacted very slowly. When Black Heart Repp came to Nur and reported the situation to Nur City Council, until August, the Chaos Army was still there. The prince at the border stood still.

The knightly army led by Kalad has even reached Nuer.

But in fact, it's not that Tamuk Khan doesn't want to advance quickly, but that he and his army have reached the limit.

Limits in various senses.

This Chaos army, which has been on an expedition for more than two years, has long been exhausted. They finally reached the border prince to lead this lush and populated land. Why is there no reason to looting and slaughter properly?

The Chaos Army was dispersed into thousands of Chaos War Gangs. They spent several weeks venting the suffocation and anguish accumulated during the expedition, and venting their dissatisfaction and resentment along the way cleanly, and the Chaos minions continued to extend. Only when the prince of the frontier led Milmiden in the west was repelled by a large group of defenders. However, most of the princes of the frontier had become no man’s land. The ruins are replaced, and the slaughter caused by the Chaos Tribe has greatly damaged the vitality of this area, and it will take at least a generation of reconstruction to barely restore the state before it was destroyed.

Tamuk Khan was very satisfied with this. He finally regained control of the entire army. But when he announced that he would regroup all the troops to cross the Black Mountains and attack the empire, this chaotic army encountered an unexpected surprise. trouble.

Cracks appeared in the chaos army. Many chaos war gangs and beasts started a desertion. They wanted to follow the Tamu Khan to expedition to the empire. It would not be worth the loss. Facing the Tamu Khan’s enlistment, dozens of hundreds A war gang became a deserter, running around hiding in the black mountains, forests and badlands led by the frontier princes.

Similarly, the Chaos dwarves are not interested in marching, at least not so interested. The gray prophet Drazhos captured a lot of human slaves and supplies at the border prince, and plans to arrange for his men to transport all these supplies back to the dark realm. Then consider the matter of marching.

Daoergan’s chaos wizard leader Say, the Faithless, was severely injured in the Battle of Death Pass, and he was unable to control his army. It took the Tamu Khan a lot of time to gather and gather the entire chaos army. When they barely managed to bring the chaos When the army regrouped, it was discovered that there were more than 6,000 fewer people, and the number of this army now was only 40,000.

And the time has come to August. When Tamu Khan wants to attack the Black Fire Pass again, the empire's army of more than 30,000 is already ready. A heavy summer rainstorm has turned the already difficult mountain road into A swamp.

On the ruins of the frontier princes, Nurgle’s chosen champion Tamukhan, the leader of the Daoeghan tribe, the faithless Say, and the chaotic dwarf gray prophet Drazhos are in a meeting.

It had just rained in the world, and the three leaders gathered together, and a map was placed on a decayed table and held down with a dimensional stone.

The empire is not far away, they have reached the frontier princes, as long as they cross the black mountains, they are the empire’s Wesson and Ivy!

"Stupid! Bastard! Short-sighted!" At this time, Tamu Khan shouted at the gray prophet: "You and your people, it took too much time! This can't work! No, father, please, hurry up!"

"Huh!" The gray prophet Drazhos responded with indifference and contempt. Considering the previous covenant and the victory at the border princes and the death pass, Drazhos decided not to fight Tamu Khan. Care about.

Daoergan’s wizard leader Say, the Faithless, was unhealed, but he knew why Tamu Khan was so anxious.

Because the corruption of Nurgle is deepening and spreading among the tribe of Tamukhan.

Nurgle doesn't like smart things and flexible things. What he likes is the permanent cycle of decay and rebirth. Its decay continues to deepen, which will make the Tamu Khan tribe gradually lose its people and minds. Maybe it will make They become stronger, but Tamukhan himself will find it harder to fulfill his ideals.

At the same time, Tamu Khan himself is also evolving or deeply corrupted at a rapid rate. New suppuration and wounds appear on his upper every day. Sooner or later, he will become a lumps. Tamu Khan is eager in his heart. A wave of feeling is higher than a wave.

Seeing Tamu Khan who was constantly making loud speeches, Say, the Unbeliever, sneered. He not only agreed with Tam Khan's order to accelerate the march with both hands, but also prepared with both hands.

In this way, with two votes in favor and one abstention, the war meeting passed a resolution to march immediately.

The question arises again, how this chaotic army will attack the black fire led by the Elector of Tuscany and the Grand Duke of Ivey, and the strong sanctuary Umberto Corleone. The number of defenders is more than 30,000. Pass?

What’s more terrible is that due to the August rainy season, there were two consecutive heavy rains at the Black Fire Pass. Now that place has changed from a muddy road to a swamp. Even the demon power and engineering technology of the Chaos Dwarf cannot be guaranteed to be there. In this environment, the artillery can be easily transported to the front line.

"There is a way." At this time, the gray prophet suddenly spoke. He pointed to a place in the black mountain range: "Here."

"Here?" Tamu Khan and Sayi the Unbeliever both noticed. In the middle of the black mountain range, there is a thin line with a mark on it.

"Yes, right here, there is a way." Drazhorth put his thick fingers on it: "Just in our data, this place has been recorded many times. This place is called Dongya Pass. It used to be A mine shaft has been abandoned for a long time. Now many dark creatures live there, and no one remembers that it was once passable."

"You suggest that we, from there, march into the empire?" Tamu Khan made a dull voice from his pus-filled throat.

"Or assault the Black Fire Pass?" The Grey Prophet said impatiently.

"..." The Tamu Khan was caught in thinking. If you walk through the winter tooth pass, the tribal army will inevitably have to fight a bitter battle, but this decision can catch the empire by surprise, because as long as you cross the winter tooth pass, the opposite It is the plain of Wesson.

"Leave three thousand people to contain the empire's defenders in the Black Fire Pass." Tamuk Khan raised his battle axe: "The rest, the whole army is drawn and marching towards the Dongya Pass!"

"Yes!"

…………I am the dividing line of Kurgan’s action…………

At the same time, Nuer City has just ushered in a powerful new force.

A thousand Breton knights, two infantry regiments, one remaining battalion of the old guards, and some knights’ retinue and logistics troops led by the Grand Knight of the Holy Grail, Carade de Galament, about five thousand The army of people came to Nur.

Nuer sent the most luxurious lineup to give the most grand welcome. Almost all of Nuer’s nobles were dispatched to welcome the ancient knight brothers across the mountain with the highest level of welcome ceremony at the gate of the city. The excitement and courtesy were real. It made the Breton knights headed by Karad flattered.

Isn't it said that Nur is a very proud city?

Didn’t it mean that the two imperial emperors Luitpold and Karl-Franz came to Noor and were coldly treated?

Only Ryan, who stood on the sidelines, understood the mentality of Noor City Council.

This mentality is called "Ning to be with friends, not with domestic slaves."

This kind of thinking is most common in empires and high elves. As for Bretania and dwarves, it is better. The former is under the supervision of lake fairies and the **** of chivalry spirit, while the latter is influenced by the ancestral spirit of dwarves and the concept of family blood. .

So why is there such a mentality?

you know.

The knights did not have time to think so much. The old Sir Krupp headed by the Nuer Merchants Union immediately took a group of plainly-dressed Nuer large trench merchants out of the city to labor. They were delivered with delicious food and a lot of military posture. And supplies.

Then, Emmanuel, the Queen of the Empire, holding her son Frederick Jr. to extend a cordial greeting to Karad. Naturally, Karad met with Emmanuel and said politely that it was a duty to fight evil. The knights and old guards of Brittany quickly filed into the city, while the two infantry regiments were stationed outside the city.

After everything settled down, Karad took the initiative to come to the Elector's Palace to find Ryan, and Ryan suggested that they go out for a walk.

The main reason is that the fairy in the lake stayed with Sulia during this time. The goddess and the female knight often went shopping on the street recently, and they also went sightseeing together, inseparable. Ryan was not very good at hosting Kalad where he was staying.

Calade naturally had no reason not to agree.

At the same time, Nuer police officer Theodore Bruckner also joined them.

In this way, on the streets of the wealthy Nur district in the twilight, three sanctuary powerhouses wandered together in the street.

"Come from afar, it's hard work, Karad." Ryan walked on the streets of Noor with his hands on his back. The city has recently been depressed due to the military preparations, but this does not affect the various commercial activities in the wealthy area. And the development of social activities.

In fact, this is also Ryan’s suggestion, that is, don’t panic, just do whatever you want, stability is overwhelming. Emilia adopted Ryan’s suggestion and did not issue a strict night order and control order, so as to make the effort. The citizens of Iran maintained their confidence in the empire and in the city council of Noor.

On the road covered with marble, the first man has long black hair in the middle and no beard. His face is handsome and full of a unique temperament. He is rebellious and absolutely confident. He is about At 1.9 meters, there was a whirlpool of psychic energy swirling in his eyes, and behind his back was a hand-half sword with many mysterious scriptures and runes.

The second man is a little shorter, about 1.8 meters tall. He has long black hair and a goatee. He has a bright face and clear lines. His cheeks are a little thin, and his blue eyes are full of wind and frost and a stronger kind. strength.

The third man is tall, more than two meters and ten. He has long brown hair, a little messy like a lion, he has a big beard and a mustache, squinted his eyes, and is wearing a specially tailored black dress. His complexion was dull, cold, and silent.

"Is the kingdom okay recently?" Ryan asked casually toward Kalad, the light and shadow of the street lamp shining behind him, pulling out a long shadow.

"Fortunately, nothing major happened. The knight nobles are busy restoring production and recuperation." Kalad walked on the streets of Noor, feeling the prosperity and prosperity of this heavy industrial city: "As soon as I receive your letter, I I rushed with people immediately, but time was tight and there was no time to gather more people."

"It doesn't matter, the army is expensive and not much expensive." Ryan shook his head. This war was not originally the task of the Bretonian knights, so much was enough.

"Baron Juan and Grand Baron Hex wanted to come over, but I refused. Moussilon is new, and the law and order is still not very good." Calade continued, "The biggest thing is that they stay where they should be. Contribution, as for supporting the empire, leave it to us."

The three randomly found an ordinary tavern in the wealthy area. The hotel owner was really flattered to see the three sanctuary powerhouses entering, but Ryan came up and ordered two barrels of beer, ten catties of toast, five catties of bread and various vegetables. fruit.

The three of them found a deck to sit down, and the waiter took a large barrel of beer and used a large beer glass to pick it up for the three of them.

"Cheers!" The beer foam splashed in the dim light.

"How many holy grail knights have come this time?" Nur's officer Theodore ate a large glass of beer, dripping his beard all over his beard: "Your Excellency, Count Garament?"

"Just call me Calade." Calad also drank all the beer in the glass in one sip. Count Garmente's face was slightly relaxed: "This time there are ten people, mostly from the Duchy of Bastogne and Wenzhou. The holy grail knights of the Principality of Ford, adhering to the lady oracle, came to Noor to help our fellow human beings!"

"Okay! In this case, the odds of winning this war are a little bit better!" Theodore yelled and almost collapsed the ceiling of the tavern. Officer Nur reached out and picked up a whole roasted golden and crispy, sprinkled with pepper. He and cumin, honeyed pork ribs, directly gnawed: "With the help of Lord Ryan and Lord Karad, Tamu Khan will die this time!"

"Don't be careless!" Ryan frowned slightly, and he continued: "According to the papers collected by the scouts and the papers from the mercenary baron Blackheart Rip from the frontier prince, we must not only deal with the champion of Nurg, but also Deal with tens of thousands of Chaos Knights and Kurgan Predator cavalry, in addition to Chaos Dwarves and their amazing war machines."

"The city council has approved the order to dispatch the steam tank group and the land boat." Theodor nodded, and Officer Nuer threw away the bones that had been gnawed cleanly, and took a new one with a knife. Pork Ribs: "Marinburg happily agreed, provided that the price is right. In order to protect their achievements, they also sent the Mannan Blade Mercenary Corps to protect the land boats and are willing to fight with us. "

"Mannen's Blade Mercenary Group! I remember that their leader was not the notorious..." Kalad gnawed a roast pig's hind leg.

"Yes, it's the famous mercenary baron'Blackbeard' Dewa Titch." Ryan nodded lightly. These guys have similar smells and get together all day to drink and have fun."

"Um...No way, mercenaries are like this, drinking and fighting wars and sleeping women." Karad shook his head helplessly: "But mercenaries are needed everywhere, I understand."

"Hahahaha~"

The three sanctuary powerhouses ate ten kilograms of roast pigs like hungry wolves, and then ordered two roast chickens and a whole piece of roast beef ribs, which were equally clean.

The hotel owner was a little silly watching these three people eat, and finally Theodore took the initiative to check out.

Coming out of the tavern, Ryan took out a small bag of Golden Mark, handed it to Karad, and said with a smile: "This is for you. Go and order a decent dress. This is Noor. You can't go to the banquet in armor, right?"

"No, I can't take your money." Calad's boardman was still wearing a military uniform, and the Grand Knight of the Holy Grail and Devonhill's godfather waved their hands in a little panic: "Your Excellency Lane, no need."

"Accept, this is the lady's order, take the money, go and order a suitable dress for yourself, you will use it." Ryan insisted that Karad accepted it.

Karad had to accept the money. Ryan nodded and said nothing, and left with Theodore. In the evening, they had to go to the Nur City Council to discuss the movement of Tamkhan.

With a bag of gold coins in his hand, the Earl of Garment had to wander around the wealthy district, looking for a tailor's shop.

Within a few steps, he found a well-decorated tailor's shop, Mrs. Sails's tailor's shop.

Just this one.

Calad didn't think much, and stepped into the store: "Hello~ I want to order a dress."

"welcome!"
