Warhammer Throne

PS: I have seen all the news! It’s really a good thing. Don’t be happy too early. It’s estimated that it will take a long time to come out. Moreover, the story of the Middle Ages is a supplement to AOS, just like the Rebellion of Horus is a supplement to 40K. The same, but I still have to say "It's so fragrant"!

Imperial calendar 2512, at the end of January, the imperial capital Braunschweig Palace, the private office of Emperor Karl-Franz.

The emperor was sitting behind his desk looking at the financial statements. The weather outside was snowing heavily. White snowflakes were falling outside the palace. Inside the house were burning earth dragons. Purple gold stripes and red carpets were on the top of the carpet. Branded with the golden griffin pattern and the golden double-headed eagle pattern, the former is the coat of arms of Ludwig the savior, symbolizing that Karl-Franz inherited the orthodoxy and glory of the Frederick family, and the latter is Charlemagne The coat of arms of the emperor, which symbolizes the entire empire.

The snow-covered Brunswick is still prosperous as before. Even in the palace, the emperor can hear the messy footsteps outside. He knows that it is the patrolling sound of the knights in the inner ring of Rick, even the most elite Rick ban. Wei, only forty knights can enter the inner ring, becoming the emperor's core personnel in personally charging and protecting the emperor's safety.

Looking at the snowflakes flying outside the window, Karl-Franz stretched out his hand tiredly and rubbed his eyebrows. He reached out a little annoyed and pushed aside the documents in front of him, leaning against the soft chair, and let out a sigh of relief. It has been more than ten years since he assumed the throne and became the emperor. In the past ten years, he has fought north and south, used every brain cell of his, squeezed every gold coin in his treasury, and finally reluctantly brought the whole empire together again. Every time he sits in the palace, the emperor always has an illusion.

He felt that he might always be the city lord of Brunswick, not the emperor of the empire.

Looking at the golden griffin pattern on the carpet, Karl-Franz couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous. He knew why his family and his palace had to install and paint golden griffin patterns everywhere, because his family We must desperately emphasize that they are the orthodox heirs of the savior Ludwig.

On the contrary, Boris Todd Blinger never has to consider this question. The White Wolf City coat of arms is the White Wolf City coat of arms, because Boris Todd Blinger’s grandfather is the brother of the savior Ludwig. Heinz, people don't need to prove themselves.

Maybe this is a guilty conscience? The emperor’s mind was thinking wildly. He reached out and held the cup on the table, which contained coffee made from the finest coffee beans from Ruscia. The quality and taste of this coffee was better than Arabic coffee. , Let alone those second-rate goods of Tyrell.

General Weidenfeller and the others are not going well in the new world. The emperor gently smelled the aroma of coffee and took another sip. Rickling has once again sent three legions totaling 10,000. The army of people went to the new world. According to the news from General Weidenfeller, they have successfully established a new colony on the vampire coast of Ruscia, and sworn a powerful force from the empire, those in the rainforest The primitive and ignorant lizard people in it were not the opponents of the empires at all from the beginning, and they were beaten steadily.

In addition, it is said that Fukun, the commander of the Ash Legion, was also a little moved about the title of the Imperial Earl and the personal solicitation from the emperor, but he obviously needs time to consider. The emperor also understands this, and he is even ready. I have a canonized edict and a full set of earl’s gowns. It’s only recently that the news that the Imperial army has been attacked by the Skaven in Ruscia and a large group of vampire pirates, the situation is not optimistic, but Karl-Fran It is no longer possible to send more troops here. The emperor can only ask General Weidenfeller to ask for help from the Ashes. It will take Ruschia four or five months to go by boat from here. The emperor is already very late when he receives this request for help. It is almost impossible to form an expeditionary force just for a signal for help.

The only thing that can make the emperor feel at ease is to look at Ryan’s face. The Faugan Army Commander should not treat his fellow human beings and ignore them... The emperor often hopes that he can also have a brother as powerful as the Faugan Army Commander, but he will soon I realized that if he had such a brother, he would definitely not have his turn to sit on the throne.

The emperor forced himself to focus on the current situation. The shortage of troops has made it impossible for the emperor to organize an expeditionary army. In recent years, the wild orcs in the Dracowald forest have become more and more rampant. The Nya reached a peace treaty that allowed the emperor to free up a lot of border troops, but in the next second he almost immediately had to send border troops to the south and north. The forest defense line of Midden needed to be reinforced, and the blood pine forest near Brunswick It needs to be cleaned up by the army, and the Sol Ning in the south is also rebuilt under the leadership of Gelt. There is chaos due to the invasion of Tamu Khan and the ravages of the dark night goblin tribe. When the emperor is determined to rebuild the Sol Ning , The entire Rick led a steady stream of wealth and troops were sent there.

Finances began to fall into difficulties, and the army was slightly inadequate.

Karl-Franz once asked Emmanuel for help, but was flatly refused. The emperor even asked Emmanuel for help again as a personal friendship and the godfather of Frederick, and asked Noor to send several legions. Support, and Emmanuel’s answer is also very simple: "Our dear King, when we face the offensive of the Tamu Khan, where are you and your army? Where is your Rick guard? Nu? Er needs time to rebuild and repair. The army lost in the Battle of Tamuk Khan needs to be replenished. Next time, Carl, next time."

The emperor knew that Emmanuel was lying. In fact, Nuer’s loss was quickly replenished after the Battle of Tamu Khan—there were refugees who were willing to join the army. Nuer may indeed have suffered heavy losses, but he came from the empire. The endless large orders from everywhere, Brittany and even the Ash Legion have plunged the entire city into a frenzy of production. The effects of the war not only did not weaken Noor, but became stronger. This is a natural birth. The city that was born for war is also the city of Ludwig the savior. Karl-Franz knows how much the savior loves Noor. This is his hometown, even though he redesigned Braunschweig as the capital. But the savior spent most of his time in Nur from his birth until he took off the crown and disappeared.

The more likely reason is that the emperor's attempt to rebuild Thorling angered the lady and the Nuer nobles behind her.

Carl-Franz was helpless. Compared with the army of Noor, the army of Midenheim and Tarabeheim was less likely to follow the emperor’s command. According to the emperor’s personal intelligence minister, Siegfried von Waal Earl Finn reported that the military factory in Noor recently appeared to be producing a brand-new war machine, which was said to be an order from King Ryan.

Out of respect, Karl-Franz did not send anyone to spy, but asked openly. Emmanuel's answer was also very simple. Ryan needed an "enhanced" land boat.

Well, at least I don’t have so much money in my vault to build land boats. The emperor decided to throw all his thoughts out of his mind. He noticed the sound of rapid footsteps in the distance. It was the sound of women’s high heels hitting the ground. The emperor distinguished between the boots of the inner ring knight and the sound of high heels.

"Boom~Can I come in? Your Majesty?" An elegant female voice came from outside the door.

"Please come in." The emperor immediately stood up from behind the desk.

Walking into the room head-on was Mrs. Hawkes, whose full name is Lot-Hawkswall, Baroness Stimwald, the chancellor of the Empire, wearing a mink coat and silk dress. Paired with black stockings and high-heeled boots with ankles, the appearance looks more than 40 years old, the facial features are very hard, there is a slender nose and narrow eyebrows, there are deep nasolabial patterns, and the hair is set high behind the head. Behind her, a dozen knights in the Rick inner ring were carrying several large boxes in.

"My sire, good news, the money is here." Mrs. Hawks bowed slightly: "The payment for the goods and the contract for Brittany have arrived."

"Great." Karl-Franz finally let out a breath. The emperor looked at the large boxes placed on the ground by the Rick guards. He personally opened one of the large boxes, which was full of clothes. The bright light of Jin Krone and Huang Chengcheng made the emperor feel more comfortable in his heart: "How many?"

"Twenty and one thousand gold crowns." Mrs. Hawkes looked serious. The chancellor and her husband and even her family are world-famous miserers, and it is precisely because of this that she will become the chancellor of the imperial chancellor. .

"Very good." Carl took out a gold coin. One side of the Brittany gold krona was printed with the photo of the founding knight King Arthur, and the other side was printed with the coat of arms of the Duke of Moussilon, which was drawn from the book. The brand-new coat of arms composed of the sword, the Holy Grail and Musilon's iris is also the coat of arms of Lane.

"Ten percent new, it seems that Ryan's great expedition did have a lot of gains." The emperor let out a sigh of relief. He put Kim Krona back into the box, then motioned to his chancellor to sit down, and Mrs. Hawkes sorted it out. I clicked the skirt and sat opposite the emperor. The attendant brought warm coffee: "He's great."

"No, my majesty, you are the one who is really resourceful and in control of the situation. The contract you signed and your outstanding eloquence made the harvest of the knight king's front line all ours. These golds were minted into gold coins soon after they were bought. Coming to Brunswick, this is the manifestation of your outstanding talents." Mrs. Hawkes said seriously.

Karl-Franz just smiled when he heard this. He has been in charge of the empire for more than ten years, and his ears have been able to filter these flattery words automatically. He thought for a moment and said: "Then this money will allow us to spend our current finances. Is there a crisis? Will the new army I hope can be formed? There is still Gelt's needs?"

"It's enough if you save a little bit." Mrs. Hawkes replied after a little mental calculation.

"Very good." Karl-Franz finally let out a long sigh of relief. The emperor could feel the burden on his shoulders lighter. For now, the scarred empire finally has time to breathe and recover, the destroyed city wall. It will be rebuilt, crops will be replanted, and at least the next time Chaos frenzy approaches, the empire will be safe.

"I'm thinking, can we also issue war government bonds like Ryan?" The emperor raised a new issue: "Maybe we need..."

"No, we don’t need it!" Mrs. Hawkswall sternly rejected the emperor’s whimsical ideas: "We agree that, Your Majesty, ordinary citizens are not ready to know the financial difficulties of the empire. When we rebuild everything that was destroyed Your people must believe that this is the result of the power of our great country, and we will not succumb to anyone else, whether it is the knight brother across the mountain or our ancient dwarf ally, it will make us appear weak This is not in line with our basic national conditions."

"Perhaps you are right. Ryan owns the big pie of Bafeng Mountain. He and his knight army can sweep the evil land, and we are struggling to solve internal security problems. I am curious that the entire Kingdom of Brittany does not Talk, how did Ryan ensure that there are no green skins or beasts in the forest and mountains in the north of his territory?" The emperor agreed.

"We don't understand that across the mountain is a magical country, and the holy grail knights have incredible powers." Mrs. Hawkes nodded, "but that doesn't mean that Charlemagne is inferior to the lady of the lake, Your Majesty, this matter cannot be ignored. Discuss, the Church of Justice has their own position, Archbishop Vicma always has doubts about you,"

"Vickma crowned." Carl Franz's expression became a little subtle when he thought of this, as if he recalled a very uncomfortable experience.

After returning to the empire after participating in Ryan’s enthronement ceremony, Karl-Franz sent an invitation to Archbishop Vekmar in the way Ryan said. The archbishop reluctantly agreed. The two sides did indeed let go of the wine and discussed. We exchanged opinions on the next policy and plan.

Until the emperor made a request for wrestling.

Vicma readily agreed that drinking, eating meat, wrestling and taking a bath is indeed one of the few entertainment programs of the Church of Justice. In just ten minutes, the emperor was directly koted ten times, fell into a foggy nose and swollen nose, and was carried out by his attendants. The bath also failed.

The plan to communicate well was declared bankrupt, and Karl Franz thought that Ryan's proposal was not very reliable.

So how did Ryan get Muggiana?

Mrs. Hawkes was always awaiting the emperor's response seriously, and Karl Franz soon turned his attention back: "Then, about the Bafengshan National Debt, tell me all you know about it."

"The current news is that the first phase of the Bafengshan Treasury Bond is expected to issue 50,000 gold crowns, with a one-year term and an annual interest rate of 10%. The Treasury bonds have not been sold at the beginning. You understand the reason." Mrs. Hawkes nodded: "But After a series of front-line victories and a large number of seized materials were shipped back to the Knight Kingdom, the sales of government bonds showed an explosive growth. In fact, the first phase of the eight peak mountain government bonds should have sold at least 80,000 gold krona until the announcement of the suspension of the sale of government bonds."

"Is the annual interest rate 10%?" The emperor frowned. There were banks everywhere in the old world, but the old world bank savings not only had no interest, but also paid a savings tax of 1.5% of the savings amount, of which 1% It belongs to the bank, and 0.5% goes to the emperor’s treasury. If the saver asks to issue a credit certificate, the savings tax is three times the basis.

"Now, according to reliable information, the second phase of the Bafengshan Treasury Bond is ready for sale. It will also last for one year. The estimated sale amount is about 100,000 to 150,000 gold crowns and the annual interest rate is 8%." Mrs. Hawkes nodded: "Now , Bafengshan national debt has caused a frenzy of buying, and what makes people worry about..."

"What do you care about?" Karl-Franz faintly thought of something: "Supply exceeds demand? Or...a sense of participation, reselling?"

"Yes, now every citizen who has bought the bond is frantically inquiring about any news about the expeditionary force on the Bafeng Mountain. Whenever news of the victory of the expeditionary force comes, people are all rejoicing." Mrs. Hawkes frowned. Lock: "Your Majesty, can this be regarded as a kind of penetration that gathers people's hearts and deceives the will of the citizens of the empire? Is it to be banned?"

"That's not necessary." The emperor shook his head calmly: "It's just a bond. We haven't issued a bond. When the Savior assembled the old world army to fight the Chaos army, he also issued a war bond. At that time, all the empires I am also proud of buying war bonds."

Mrs. Hawkes wanted to say something, but she saw the emperor’s stern look. The emperor once defeated the princes and electors with the same expression, and united the divided empire in more than ten years of conflicts and wars. Together.

"Yes, my sire, everything is as your will." Madam Hawkes chose to compromise: "My only wish is to serve you."

"You did a good job, Baroness." The emperor lightly foreheaded: "Everything Ryan has done is in compliance with the rules and legal principles. We and them are allies. We also benefited from the elimination of Green Leather. The Bafeng Mountain National Debt is not without. Interest."

"The real strength is the strength from the heart, not the useless praise and praise and suppression of opposition."

"What we have to do is to make the empire great again."

"For the empire!" said Mrs. Hawkes convincingly. She bowed again, and then said goodbye. The emperor watched her chancellor leave, and his attention quickly shifted to other things: "Come here, take this letter. Send the letter to the other side of the mountain, and hand it to the Knight Queen Suria!"

"Yes!"
