Lords of the Warp Beginning with Violet

After Violet brought Ivan to the car, the attendant sitting outside driving began to shake the reins gently, urging the beast of burden to start moving forward.

Ivan looked at Li Sheng who was staring at him in front of him, and suddenly felt a little timid. After all, no matter how precocious he was, he was just a child.

"Tell me, why do you, a prince, want to be my disciple? I don't remember that Ursus has any records about me?" Li Sheng leaned against the car window and asked with his chin on his arm.

"I saw it from Emperor Igor's notes. Because many of the ink marks on it were blurred, I identified the wrong person." Ivan explained.

Shaking his head, Li Sheng sat up straight and said, "You are right, but I am indeed not a duke, my wife is the duke."

As he spoke, he took Violet's hand and indicated that this was his wife.

"Yes." Ivan sat up straight and nodded seriously, as if he had really become an apprentice.

"Okay, there's no need to be so serious." After waving his hand to indicate that the other party should not be so serious, Li Sheng suddenly said: "Do you have magic talent? Or what is your Origin Stone skill?"

"There is a little bit of the Origin Stone skill that can gather energy and launch it as a cannonball." Ivan said.

"That's okay. If you use the Origin Stone skills to strengthen your body, you won't be able to use it as a warlock."

"Then when can I start studying with you?" Ivan asked quickly upon seeing this.

"When did I promise to teach you?"

Li Sheng had a baffled expression on his face, and Violet couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile.

"Magic has no future. As an emperor, what you should learn is the art of governing the country. Not everyone can rule the country with magic." He looked out the window, and while the two were communicating, the beast-carrying cart had arrived at the palace.

"Your Majesty the Duke, the Emperor invites you to the reception room for a discussion."

A palace noble stood outside the gate, guiding the two people who got off the car in the direction of progress.

However, he looked at His Highness Ivan who followed Li Sheng down with some surprise. His Majesty was clearly sending people to look for the prince just now, but he did not expect that he was actually with the Grand Duke.

"Come on, take us there."

"Come this way." Faced with Violet's order, the palace nobles did not dare to neglect at all.

If it were other small and medium-sized nobles, maybe he could use his status to show off, but showing off in front of a being like the Duke would only make him die miserably.

Palace reception room.

Alexander had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw Ivan following Li Sheng, he naturally guessed why he couldn't find him.

"Father."

After seeing Alexander, Ivan came out from behind Li Sheng and ran to his own father. As expected, he still couldn't convince him to accept him as his disciple by himself.

"Your Majesty." The court nobles bowed and stepped back, while Li Sheng and Li Sheng bowed appropriately to show their respect for each other.

"Duke Violet, Your Excellency Li Sheng, I did not entertain you well when you came all the way." Alexander stood up and said, "Originally I planned to prepare a banquet, but considering that the two of you don't like to make excuses with those nobles, cancelled."

"Your Majesty, if you have something to say, please tell me directly. It would be too troublesome to go through all the meanderings." Li Sheng curled his lips and interrupted his opening sentence, wanting to get straight to the point.

"Ahem, actually this kid Ivan got the news from nowhere, so he wants to become a disciple of the Grand Duke. I wonder if the Grand Duke can spare the time to teach his young son." Alexander tried to slow down his tone as much as possible when speaking. .

"Your Majesty, you don't know. We will go to Kazdaele after our trip. Even if we come back from Kazdaele, we have to deal with many affairs in the territory." Violet briefly explained her future itinerary.

"I can go to Katsdale with the Grand Duke. Anyway, my homework is over. On the contrary, staying at the Holy Castle every day makes me feel a little bored." Ivan said quickly when he saw this.

He finally figured out that if they were allowed to continue chatting like this, he would basically have no chance of becoming a disciple.

"Of course you can if His Highness Ivan is not afraid of hardship. Anyway, I have nothing to do every day. Since His Highness Ivan is willing, I can teach him whether it is governance or magic." Li Sheng opened his mouth at the right time to help Violet. Rescue.

"Then let's leave it as it is." Alexander looked down at his child and rubbed his head.

Walking to the sofa aside, Alexander motioned for a few people to sit down and then continued: "Actually, there is another thing to do here this time, which is about the mobile city-state."

Although his son succeeded in becoming a disciple, his face darkened significantly when talking about this matter.

"Those ambitious scientists at the Imperial Arsenal simply don't understand the huge construction structure of the Mobile City-State, and even the drawings obtained from Victoria cannot allow them to achieve effective progress.

According to the information I received, such a huge building would not be able to travel for long even if it was manufactured with Ursus' current technology, so I am ready to suspend this plan. "

After speaking, Alexander looked at the two of them, while Violet looked at Li Sheng. After all, he was the one responsible for this incident.

"It's too troublesome to transport resources back, and the gains outweigh the losses. Since part of the industrial system of Saint Jun Castle has been built, we might as well continue." Li Sheng came up with the plan he had already prepared.

He took out a stack of parchment out of thin air and placed it on the table. It contained some scientific tank designs that had been abandoned by Khorne.

"A set of self-contained land combat equipment, tanks, armored vehicles, personnel carriers... There is also a special power system in the design. I believe those scientists will know how to modify it as long as they are not freeloaders."

"Since we can't compare with Victoria in terms of large-scale mobile buildings, then the empire's military focus should be on small-scale mechanized troops. An established mechanized army is no worse than those specially trained steam knights."

Li Sheng looked at the design drawing he took out and explained.

Since the German Navy was able to use wolf pack tactics to defeat large battleships in World War II, why couldn't it use small mechanized forces to destroy Terra's land battleships?

And compared with land-based battleships, which are more likely to be jumped into battle, tanks, smaller and more agile units, can undoubtedly crush the two armies in the wild.

After hearing Li Sheng's explanation, Alexander looked at the design drawings in front of him. This gift was obviously too precious. In the years of the Industrial Revolution, the design drawings of this system were the most precious wherever they were found.

"What does Ursus need to pay?" Alexander looked at Li Sheng, knowing that there is no free lunch in the world.

"Are you paying?" Li Sheng was stopped by Alexander's question. He took out these design drawings just because he didn't want the materials he gave to be wasted. As for the return, he didn't consider it at all.

Ursus, or Terra as a whole, could provide him with very little that interested him.

"Work hard to improve military armaments and build Ursus into an indestructible steel empire. This is my request, and it is also to deal with other threats from this land in the future."

Li Sheng answered this because he suddenly thought of the Cyclops' prophecy. If it were true, the future situation of the entire Terra would be very bad.

"I promise you, and I guarantee as the supreme ruler of Ursus, that as long as the grand duchy stands on the side of the royal family in the future, the royal family will never leave the grand duchy." Alexander stood up from the sofa and said.

"Well, that's it." Li Sheng also stood up.

After leaving the palace, Li Sheng didn't know how excited Alexander was when he got the design drawings. Perhaps to him, they were just a few pieces of parchment.

"Remember what I just said, you must study hard with Li Sheng on the way to Kazdale." Putting down the design drawing, Alexander looked at Ivan standing aside and warned.

"I know, I will study hard with my mentor.

I will definitely lead Ursus to the top in the future. Even if I cannot accomplish this goal, my child will continue. "Ivan looked at his father and made a serious promise.

"As long as you understand." After rubbing Ivan's head, Alexander said earnestly.
