Outside the luxurious giant wooden door of the Imperial Council, there is a row of Rick guards on duty.

The Rick Guard has always been the emperor's pro-army and the most powerful cavalry unit in Braunschweig. They are also responsible for serving as the emperor's guard and in many cases on behalf of the emperor's inspection and supervision tasks.

The flowers bloom and fall for another season. This year's Rick Guard has also recruited many recruits. Most of them are children of great nobles or, and there are no shortage of heirs from knights and elite military families. Rick Guards opened his arms to welcome For many people, the prerequisite is their military literacy and absolute loyalty to the emperor.

And there is another inner ring organization in Rick's guard, called Rick inner ring knights. This group of knights is no more than thirty to forty people, but they still have strong armor and flexible skills, strong power and handling things. Excellent ability.

The knights in the inner ring are responsible for isolating the people approaching the imperial driver and guarding the emperor. They usually hold heavy shields, are equipped with epees, axes, and two-handed great swords, and wear plate armor polished to a mirror-like brightness and decorated with beautiful feathers.

They fought mixed with other imperial forces. As a flexible and protracted heavy infantry, they performed well in siege and defense.

Today is the day of the expanded emergency meeting of the Imperial Assembly. The knights in the inner ring lined up outside the assembly gate, preparing to guard the emperor's court.

The closest to the gate are two senior Rick inner ring guards, called Schuler and Vardesi. They reprimanded the Rick guard recruits to improve their concentration and energy, and at the same time they told everyone with a fierce attitude. , The emperor and the electors are having a meeting. The only and most important task of the imperial court is war.

"War, what kind of war?" Many emperors like jesters and noble lords scoffed at this. How can there be war?

Over the past two years, the empire has finally breathed a sigh of relief. After the regained Bafeng Mountain in the southern badlands, the threat from Green Skin has been much smaller. There is the first cordon formed by the badlands Sanwei, Bafeng Mountain and Haimen Pass. , The empire can relax slightly.

In the east, the Supreme King Thorgrin captured the Gambad Peak. He personally threw the last goblin of the Gambad Peak from the cliff, and then announced that another grudge had been cleansed, and Thorgrin left one. A five-hundred-member expedition was mining at Gambad Peak, and the victory class was on the Eternal Peak.

Needless to say in the West, after Bretania and the empire reached the "Tiberias Friendship Alliance and Mutual Assistance Agreement", there have been very few conflicts and conflicts between the two sides. An army of no more than a thousand people, which is one-tenth of what it used to be, a large amount of military expenses and troops have been saved and used where it is more needed.

So, the only possibility is the north, but aren't the barbarians going to fight the dark elves?

war? What war?

The Rick guards were very stubborn. They rejected any visitor's footsteps. Some of the noble lords and high courtiers who were covered in perfumes and famous people tried to put on the air. The Rick guards drew out their weapons to let them know that they were not joking.

But the long meeting still caused the Rick guards to feel a breakdown. Some recruits could not support after standing for a long time. Even the most stringent inner ring guards were tired, but they knew that they could not slack off.

After a while, a general opened the door and came out. It was Rudolf von Lichtenstein, the imperial general. Inner ring guard Schuler quickly asked him: "Rudolf, what's the situation?"

"In general, everyone is aware of the threat of the Chaos in the North. The piglets raised by the dogs of Kislev did not tell us about such a big situation but ran to fight the Chaos. "Rudolph's voice was very depressed. The imperial general didn't close the door tightly, so he went out like this: "It's basically like this, there's nothing to keep secret."

The voice came from inside.

"Katalin and her court have just retreated to the territory of Ostermark. She carries the wealth of the Saudi royal family for thousands of years, but the most elite troops we urgently need have almost all been lost, and she also brought a large group of courts. Servants and Boyer nobles, I can hardly find a place to settle them." The irritable and anxious tone of Speaker Ostermark and Elector of Bekafen Hertwig was also very clear in the messy discussion: "Refugee waves hit the border and put tremendous pressure on the defense system. Ostermark needs more reinforcements, food support and weapon support. Now we need at least 10,000 sets of standard equipment and at least 5,000 tons of food support. ."

"Our situation is the same." The Grand Duke of Oster, Vamier von Zhukov, also emphasized: "No one expected this to happen. Kislov should have relied on the city's stubborn resistance and help. , But I got news that Prager has fallen, the Chaos Army has taken over there, and Olengrad has no news."

"Impossible!" Grand Duke Nord Theodoric Gesser's voice was angry and pale: "I know the strength of Kislov's army, even if the war fails, like bear cavalry, wing cavalry and An ace army like the Krim guards will not disappear so easily. Do you think Kislov is completely dead? I suspect that Katalyn is saving her strength and throwing the burden away!"

"Listen, listen, I don't think we should take the time to feel sad for the furry people in the north. They may have suffered heavy casualties, but it is better than they switch to Chaos or give up." White Wolf Elector Boris Todd Bollinger is still the familiar loud voice: "Now is not the time to argue about this, the empire must unite, immediately begin to announce the general mobilization order, call up all the troops, we must fight the chaos hybrids on the border of the empire, since they want to fight to the death Come, let them come, and Midenheim will stand forever before the last son of Urik falls."

"Stop, stop, my friend!" Helmut Feuerbach, the Elector of Tarabeheim and Grand Duke of Tarabek, stretched out his hand and signaled Boris to calm down with a "T" gesture: "Youareaf* *kinganimal! Brother, do you figure it out, who will give the order? General mobilization? Are you serious? Just mobilize? You, the Grand Duke, may not be the end!"

"At present, the situation is not clear. The general mobilization is really...unrealistic, and it will cause almost permanent damage to the territory." The Grand Duke Ivey, the elector Marius-Letterdorf also disagrees with the general mobilization. "All provinces have their own problems. We should first send troops to strengthen the line of defense and ensure food support, and then look at the situation. How can you ensure that this is not an exaggeration by the female czar to cover up her failure?"

The emperor didn't speak, he didn't seem to want to express his opinions so easily.

The voice of Edbrand Rudenhoff, Lord Baron Hawke, is very clear and loud: "The Hawker comprehension is trying to mobilize, but we are alone and must get more support, including but not limited to the army, Equipment, food and gold coins."

Schuler listened to everything in his ears, the inner ring guard wanted to help the emperor share his worries.

The empire is now in a very difficult situation. It is now estimated that the Chaos Army will be close to the border of the empire within two months at the fastest and three months at the slowest. The army has not even begun to mobilize here, after all, the autumn harvest has just ended.

It takes at least three to five weeks to fully recruit a huge army, and it takes six to eight weeks at the earliest to travel from the capital to the northern border. Then the question is, who will solve this astronomical military salary and the daily consumption? Huge rations?

Within the imperial parliament, Emperor Karl-Franz always frowned. He looked at Archbishop Vekema who was sitting not far away, and wanted his support, but Archbishop Vekema was divided because of other things. My heart, Luther Hus’s affair is making a lot of trouble. One of the great chanters of the Church of Justice, Esme III, is using this as an excuse to continue to attack Vekema, hoping to replace him or reach many in the church. Human demands-including but not limited to the sale of indulgences, hereditary beneficiaries, and the expulsion of Lutherhus’s membership.

Vicma disagrees with these three items, but he knows that his enemies come from within the church. The bishops, cardinals, and cardinals of the regions where the corpse is vegetarian is not a minority in favor of Esme III, and no one will dislike himself. There are many benefits and benefits, but they are extremely disgusted with responsibilities and obligations.

"We can mobilize in general, and we should start mobilizing on the spot now." Finally, after arguing for a long time, the emperor said: "For example, near the front line, the most likely to be attacked Nord, Oster, Oss The Tmark and Hawk provinces can immediately mobilize the army when they go back. As for the southern provinces, including the Rick leader, we will immediately follow up and provide rations and military support at the same time."

"When can I keep up? How much can I provide? Five hundred catties of grain is also provided, and five hundred tons of grain is also provided!" Hertwig reacted fiercely. How much damage has been caused by sandalwood antiques with a history of more than 300 years: "My Majesty, don’t correct these illusions. The lesson is not obvious enough? The response is slow, and it is not saved? This is the empire? This is Karl-Franz Enough, I should go to the Butcher's Castle immediately to find His Majesty the Butcher King Agrim, he is much more reliable than you, Franz!"

"It takes time to raise rations and recruit troops!" The emperor retorted: "Hertwig, I understand your difficulties, and we are already trying to solve them! What else do you want? Otherwise I won't let you come here for meetings!"

Hertwig also realized that he was in a hurry, but the military situation was really anxious, and Speaker Ostermark was uneasy. He simply stood up and paced back and forth behind the table.

"Then you should also immediately send all the standing and garrison troops in your hand to the north. Now is not the time to care!" Grand Duke Nord Geisel said displeasedly: "Also, we need more gold coins. Those gold coins with the heads of the emperor, the elector... or the heads of the dwarves and the knights across the mountain! The elves are also OK, only the gold coins can we be able to our noble lords or city councils, and the mercenary groups even It is the ogre corps who accepted our invitation to fight to defend the empire!"

The emperor’s face was ugly. He still had money in his treasury, but nearly half of it was borrowed from the Supreme King’s war loan, and there must be a small amount of money in the treasury. Satisfy the appetites of these electors. This year, a bumper harvest was finally made. The emperor's treasury has a large surplus, and he plans to renovate the palace.

At this moment, everyone's voice stopped, and everyone looked at one person.

In the past few years, who has the richest empire?

There is no doubt that it is the ruler of Noor, Emmanuel von Lebowitz Bernardino, the empire, and the biggest beneficiary of the "Tibb Friendship Alliance and Mutual Assistance Treaty" is Noor, Emmanuel Li also became the most popular imperial nobleman in Brittany because of her special relationship with Ryan, not one of them.

The Queen of the Empire hasn’t said a word from the beginning until now, but she obviously listened carefully. Behind Emmanuel sat her right-hand man, Marshal Noor Erstein and Justice Noor Theo. Do-Bruckner, the Queen of the Empire today is wearing a set of fresh peonies and colored ink Yulin classical hip skirt, wearing a black and gold duchess cloak, a pair of delicate straight legs with deep red translucent flesh, ultra-thin velvet delicate Pantyhose and a pair of **** suede high heels with a pointed strap printed with a skull pattern. Her long golden hair curled up a noble lady's hairstyle and fixed it with an electoral crown. After becoming the ruler of Noor for many years, Ai Manoli is full of majesty in every move, and now she can form a huge psychological pressure on people with just one look.

Sensing everyone’s gaze, Emmanuel didn’t have any smile on her face. The imperial lady’s heart was already filled with contempt and hatred for the czar. She thought for a while, and said: "Nur and Wesson understand The empire will provide assistance as much as it can. I can promise here, but I need to wait for the specific amount to be discussed with the city council after returning to Noor. As for the army, Noor and Wesson can immediately send five legions to the north to support and carry them. Some logistic materials."

"That's not enough, my sir!" Geyser continued to complain: "Everyone knows that you can mobilize at least thirty legions, as well as those steam tanks and Nur armored armies, none of them can be less!"

"Nur Iron Armor took it to protect you, who will protect me?" Emmanuel tit-for-tat: "Nur and Wesson are not without enemies. Just in the southern black mountains, there are still a lot of goblins. The tribe is entrenched there, and the southern part of the Wesson will be attacked by them from time to time!"

"Solling has been taken over by Galt's Alchemy Academy. They will solve your problems in the south. You must now send your army to the north, otherwise it will be too late!" Houwamir shouted angrily: "The Chaos Army may appear on the border of the empire at any time!"

"Steer leads the river patrol army and the army guarding Sylvania can't move either. On this basis, I will send a few soldiers from Utbad, but the logistics and military pay need to be solved by you. I No kidding.” The Grand Duke Steier, Elector Graf Alberrich Hout-Anderson is still in a worn fur coat and wool shirt. He looks more like a beggar than an elector.

"We need to send the army, we need to mobilize ourselves, and we need to pay for food. How can there be such a good thing!" Mad Earl, Marius-Letterdorf, Grand Duke of Ivey's madness also came up. , He yelled: "Who said he didn't support you anymore? Who said he didn't help? Don't deceive people too much. The general mobilization order is given casually? Do you know how much it will cost to do this?! You guys? Are they all pigs? If you don't want help, just go back now!"

"Enough, shut up! Marius, we are discussing how to face this chaotic frenzy, rather than busy fighting and quarreling!" Karl Franz struck the small wooden hammer vigorously to make the Imperial Council The people in, the emperor noticed that the southern electors did not want to announce the general mobilization at this time. They also wanted to see how the situation was. The problem is that the northern electors are not like the southern electors. Wealthy-have enough financial capacity to support their general mobilization.

After arguing for a while, the electors had indeed realized the seriousness of this chaotic invasion. The 300,000 troops on the opposite side had no time to wait for anyone. The final result of the discussion was that the southern electors first paid for food and A part of the standing army and conscripts will be sent north to support, and the northern electors will carry out general mobilization and begin to deploy defenses along the border in preparation for the tide of destruction in the north.

"Your Majesty, can the empire ask for help from the high elves?" At this time, Grand Duke Nord Geyser asked towards the emperor.

"I will inform Ambassador Gao Jing." The emperor nodded.

"Your Majesty, I suggest to ask the dwarf for help immediately." Ivey's Grand Duke Marius also added immediately.

"I will send a messenger to the Supreme King." The emperor could only say again.

"So, Carl, the kingdom of knights across the mountain, do we have to ask for help?" Midden led the Grand Duke, and White Wolf Elector Boris Toddbringer said immediately: "The covenant is not a white sign, right? At this time Without asking for assistance, when shall we wait?".

"This..." Not only did the emperor hesitate a bit, he asked for Bretania's assistance? Has the Empire really reached such a difficult time? This is such a big favor.

"Lady Emmanuel, what do you think?"
