Latest URL:

The emperor’s emergency order plunged the entire Braunschweig into chaos. Almost all 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 empire, and even included some conscripts in service and veterans who had just retired for one or two years. The huge army flooded the streets and alleys, causing waves after waves. 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. 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 Battle of the Martyrs in the Talfjord, Archbishop of Justice Vicma has the heart to support the Emperor Karl-Franz but is powerless, but the archbishop follows 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 has all entered the general mobilization. Except for those engineers who are necessary to maintain production, dozens of war machines and artillery have been pushed out of the factory, the warehouse is opened, and all the reserve muskets and ammunition have been transported out by trucks.

The dozen or so knights emperors led by Rick all dispatched 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. Time waits for no one! Assuming that Greenskin reaches the gate of the Black Fire Pass in three weeks, Rick's army must 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 a granite gravel road from Rick to Ivey, Ivey has a cobblestone road because he has 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 slowly, or that A always neurotic elector and his best friend Marius-Letterdorf has a way to hinder the speed of Greenskin.

Damn it! Why is there suddenly a hundred thousand greenskins attacking 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 of people 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 giants will be thrown into the battlefield, and then the Brunswick Royal Honor Guard , Franz Guards Army, the garrison of several Braunschweig legions, 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 lifted 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 engines of the steam tanks spewed white smoke, the war machines of all colors were ready for battle, and rows of musketeers’ black hole muzzles were ready to aim at the enemy.

"faith!"

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

As the defender of the empire, Emperor Karl-Franz’s political level is superior to diplomatic level, and diplomatic level is 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 proven in wars, and even he is a recognized warrior in the old world in terms of personal martial arts.

It's just that Emperor Karl-Franz is a little bit inconspicuous compared to the dazzling military achievements of the Sun King next door.

This army marched quickly. After leaving Braunschweig, it moved along the road of 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. 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, there are 20 or 30 who are truly riding Griffins. Elite knights, the remaining more than 300 knights are all riding half-griffins.

The joining of this army greatly enhanced 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 inspired the morale of the army. .

In April 2520 of the imperial calendar, rain, 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 the 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 didn't 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 also caused army fatigue and transportation loss, so The emperor could only order to station 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 put it on the table, never 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 way. 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!"

"This is not the worst!" Ivan, Duke of Griffon, touched his long beard. His mount was hiding from the rain in the manor while being fed raw meat by his attendants.

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 System, is participating in the river cruise ceremony in Brittany!

In the case where none of the three of Emmanuel Emmanuel, Grand Marshal Noor, and Frederick Noor, is in Noor, the army of Noor will not assign the army to the emperor. Under his command.

At this time, Nuer had only a few generals and court nobles. They refused to send troops after receiving the emperor’s order. The reason was simple. If the emperor could not block 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 Tam 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 dispatch.

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 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 did not participate 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 already a middle-aged man in his 50s this year. Although he is no longer young, he 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, and Ivey’s 15,000 people, the total 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 wonder if the soldiers can still afford weapons. ."

"But we must guard the Black Fire Pass!" Karl-Franz hammered the table with a fist, 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 the 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.

After a worrying dinner, the emperor didn’t even remember what he had eaten. He sat in the manor and felt 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 Ge Schwarzhammer immediately led a team of Rick guards to protect the emperor.

Walking through fences and wheat fields, passing 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. 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 just rubbed bubbles, 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 shouted: "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!"

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

"What's the matter? Rod?" The emperor wanted to directly question, but saw that General Rod's face was covered with many 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 poor. For four days, it was all broth. Only two meals had meat and were 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 collected.

"Didn't I ask you to send a grain conquest team to collect grain?" The emperor asked suspiciously: "It's impossible that Rick can't collect grain from 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 his family didn’t have a lot of surplus food. Your Majesty also strictly ordered us not to conquer. The farmer said that today’s weather is very strange, it is very cold and there are often hail, the rain is too much, and the seedlings are flooded badly. Probably the harvest this year will not be too good~www.ltnovel.com~ This is the emperor. Frowning, since last year, the entire old world has been like a madman. In just a few months, the empire has a dozen orc tribes raging this year, the plague has spread on a large scale, crops have been reduced, and the Chaos Sect's 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-cultivators, unlike 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.

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!"

"in!"

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 force the march.

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