total conquest

Chapter 10
"Rules are made by people. The current emperor is Karl. Unless he dies, the position of emperor of this empire will always be his. As a member of the Roald family and Karl's biological brother, I will swear to the death Guard Hal's position as emperor, guard the last dignity of our Roald family! You guys! Do you understand?!"

"Yes, Your Highness, the Knights of the Burning Sun are sworn to protect His Majesty the Emperor to the death! They are sworn to protect the dignity of the family to the death!"

"Very good, it seems that you haven't given up your glory yet. It seems that I have to go there personally to meet the lord of Talabek Province, Iende. Let's go back to the imperial city quickly and meet Karl. I know when the main force of the rebel army will arrive, and I hope it will be in time when I return. By the way, where are the goblins you are tracking?"

"Back to Your Highness, there are various signs that Skarsnik should return to Karak Dreadnaught in the Southern Gray Mountains. After all, the ability of goblins to dig tunnels is really comparable to that of dwarves. Moreover, Skarsnik only brought Its affairs officer acted alone, and we cannot determine its exact location." The goblins were originally led by the orcs and belonged to their servant race, and this Skarsnik is also a legend, and he was independent from the orc greenskin tribe. , created a country headed by goblins, Xie Yue, whose flag is a yellow crescent moon face. In fact, the goblins reflected their own faces on it and made the picture yellow.Skarsnik didn't know what method he used to capture the dwarf city of Karak Dreadnought in the Southern Gray Mountains. It was the first dwarf city in the Reik Province that entered the Southern Gray Mountains. It was also one of the empires and dwarf states. The family's trading area, but since the rebellion in the empire, the Reik Province controlled by Karl has been completely cut off from trade with all other countries or regions, which naturally includes the empire's provinces.

"In this case, let's ignore them. Everyone goes to the city to rest and return to Altdorf early tomorrow morning."

------

The morning sun rises slowly from east to west, continuing the same pattern that has lasted for thousands of years. Altdorf, as the imperial city of the empire, at this moment, the tall city walls appear vicissitudes and heavy under the sunlight of the morning, while the The mottled bloodstains that cannot be wiped away and the silent artillery in the watchtower give the city bathed in the golden sunshine a slightly majestic and murderous look.

"Open the city gate quickly, His Royal Highness Prince Altdorf has returned with a great victory!" I heard his voice before I saw him.Because the guards on the city wall were too high, they couldn't hear the content of the sound coming from far away. They could only hear the rustling wind in the early morning. However, professional habits made all the guards instantly ready for battle. They were The last guards of this city are the imperial guards who once protected the palace. Professionalism is synonymous with them.

As the figure in the distance approached, the defenders recognized that it was the scouts sent by the city. Since receiving the secret report from Aende, Karl began to send a large number of scouts to the direction of Hemgard and Glenburgh Blood Forest. To prevent the rebels from raiding, and in the direction of Earhart, it is only necessary to block the Rick River to prevent the rebels from going up the river and attacking the back of the imperial city.

The Imperial City of Altdorf is located in the west of the mainland, at the junction with the Principality of Bretonnia, separated by the north and south gray mountains in the middle, facing Baator, and backed by the junction of the Reik River and the Tarabek River.

The water of the Central Sea flows down from the northwest, passing through the province of Cologne in the Principality of Bretonnia and the province of Imperial West, and merges into the Reik River. It bifurcates from Altdorf and reaches Copebad in the province of Talabek in the south and Copebad in the province of Talabek in the east. Tarabekhem is the capital of the province of Tarabek.The Roald family established the empire for more than five hundred years. In order to ensure that the empire would not be defeated in one blow, the major forces were dispersed. The Altdorf Secret Council of Battle Mages in the Imperial City and the Altdorf Academy of Magic (now self-contained) Closed), Nunn Shooting Academy in the capital of Wissen Province, Chapel of the Knights of the Sun in Talabek Province, Middenheim Ulrich Temple in Midden Province, Marienburg Port in West Province (world The largest port) The five major provinces jointly built this once daunting and powerful empire!

"Lee Roald"

"The official loves grace"

"Sion, deputy commander of the Solar Knights"

"See Your Majesty" Zhang Hao and the other three knelt on one knee with their right knees, and made a fist with their right hands to protect the heart, as a gesture of courtesy.

"Get up, everyone, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Yes, Your Majesty" the three of them stood up.

"Knights of the Burning Sun, I saw you for the last time, but three years ago, I don't know if there are still people from my Roald family in Talabek Province who are worthy of your allegiance!" Karl was originally very happy to see his eldest brother and others. That bastard loves Ende, but he gets angry when he sees the Knights of the Sun. If he has the power, Karl really wants to disband the knights and reorganize them. No, it is better to destroy them humanely. Their Existence is simply a disgrace to the family!

As soon as Thain stood up, he knelt down again, lowered his head and said in shame, "Your Majesty, I am guilty! I am willing to bear His Majesty's anger, but now the empire is in danger, please let other soldiers fight for you again, Condemnation and meritorious deeds!" Of course, Zhang Hao taught him these words, Carl, a frail scholar, was about to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy in person during the imperial city guard battle, and none of the guardian knights of their families showed up. How deep their grievances run.

"Huh!!! Bastards! A group of people who don't care about their vows and honor! You don't deserve to die!! You don't deserve the title of knight!" Although knights in the Empire are not as equal as nobles or even clergy in the Duchy of Bretonnia , but it is also a relatively noble title.

"Your Majesty." Seeing Karl's anger, Zhang Hao quickly stepped forward to smooth things over. "I already severely condemned them when I met Thain. They were indeed deceived by traitors. Thain also said that after meeting His Majesty, you will immediately Take your ministers to Talabek Province to summon all the other knights back to your arms. Your Majesty, if you know your mistakes, you can correct them, and you can never do any good. Forgiving them will set an example for the deceived people in other provinces." Zhang Hao saw Karl's serious expression. Listening to his own explanation, he said more confidently, "If His Majesty kills them, then outsiders will think that even the closest Knights of the Sun cannot be forgiven by you, what about the others? So, in order to let those Those who know they have entered darkness can find the light. Your Majesty, you should also show your magnanimity as the emperor and give them a chance to drive out the darkness."

Karl was silent for a while and said, "Sean, go down, I don't want to see you now!"

Seeing Sean standing there, Zhang Hao stepped on Sean's face, "Why don't you thank him quickly and then get out!"

Zhang Hao's kick made Sean Mosai suddenly say "Thank you Your Majesty for not killing" and then really got out.Damn, it's another second-hand product!

"Ainde, you go out too, I want to listen to my elder brother's report alone"

"Yes, Your Majesty" Ai Ende walked out knowingly.

"Brother, you?"

"Karl, I know what you want to ask. Don't worry. Take me to see my father. Speaking of which, I am also unfilial. I ran out as soon as I woke up. I really deserve to die."

Carl hesitated, "Come with me"

Karl took Zhang Hao to the highest open-air garden in the palace, pointed to the sky and earth in the distance, and said with a hint of sadness.

"Brother, everything you see is the hiding place of the royal father"

Zhang Hao was in a daze, you scattered the ashes, and you still want to pretend to be a coward to win your trust, this... Fortunately, the Primarch has been demented for ten years, otherwise he would not be able to get out of the palace today, cheating Ah, it's okay, you scatter your ashes!
