Proof of the Sun King

The emperor's emergency order plunged the entire Brunswick into chaos. Almost all the standing troops were mobilized. The gate of the castle of Rick guards was rarely opened, and teams of Rick guards, even Including those recruits, they are all being mobilized.

Each military camp was assembled under the orders of various imperial generals and imperial captains, and even included some conscripts who were serving and veterans who had just retired for a year or two. A huge number of troops filled the streets and alleys, causing wave after wave guesswork and confusion.

The Imperial Academy of Wizards and Wizards was also disturbed by the emperor's messengers. The imperial wizards who were conducting various researches were forced to stop their experiments or lectures. Under the emperor's order, they urgently packed their bags and prepared to go to the battlefield. Many apprentices of the wizards would Get your first practical education on the battlefield.

The Cathedral of Justice in Brunswick is not so dynamic-due to the huge loss in the Martyrdom of the Taal Fjord, the Archbishop of Justice Wikma was willing to support Emperor Karl-Franz but could not do anything, but the Archbishop from The church treasury managed to take out 7,500 gold marks as military funds, providing emergency support to the emperor on military pay.

The Brunswick Arms Factory was also fully mobilized. In addition to those engineers who were necessary to maintain production, dozens of war machines and artillery were pushed out of the factory, the warehouses were opened, and all the muskets and bullets in reserve were transported out by trucks.

The more than a dozen emperors of the knights in Rick led all sent messengers. I don’t know how many people could arrive in time, but Karl Franz couldn’t control so much. After about half a day of emergency preparations, the emperor immediately announced Set off!

The capital is about a thousand kilometers away from the Black Fire Pass, and time waits for no one! Assuming that the Greenskins reach the gate of the Blackfire Pass in three weeks, the Rick army will have to march 50 kilometers every day to catch up!

Even if it’s supplies, you don’t have to think about it, you can prepare it along the way. Even if you have a relatively reliable cobblestone road or a granite gravel road from Rick to Ivey, Ivey also paved cobblestones because of the money, but Marching 50 kilometers in Japan is still too much for the army. Emperor Karl Franz can almost only hope that the army of the Three Guards of the Badlands and the Prince of the Frontier can support it for a longer time, so that the greenskins will come a little slower, or that The always neurotic Elector and his close friend Marius Lightdorf has a way to hinder the Greenskin's speed.

Damn it! Why did one hundred thousand greenskins suddenly appear to attack the Blackfire Pass?

Is this reasonable?

Emperor Karl Franz didn't think so much. The city gate of Brunswick opened wide. After half a day of emergency preparations, an army of several thousand people was ready to go.

Not too much, but there will be people joining in later.

Rows of Rick's Guards in gold and silver armor, behind them are the cloaks of griffins that symbolize the Emperor's family, followed by three steam tanks - these steel behemoths will be thrown into battle, and then the Royal Braunschweig Guards of Honor , the Franz Guards Legion, the garrison of several legions of Brunswick, and the large group of knights after the army, the Knights of the Sunset Knights, the Cheetah Knights, the Sable Knights, and the Sun Knights in the capital. All are ready for the expedition.

In praise of the emperor Charlemagne and the savior Ludwig, the sons of the empire officially set off.

The emperor raised the hammer Gael-Maraz and addressed his army, his people, and made a speech.

"Steel!"

The spears are like forests, the armor is like mountains, and rows of knights roared the slogans of the empire.

"gunpowder!"

The engine of the steam tank spewed out white smoke, the various war machines were ready for battle, and the dark muzzles of the musketeers were ready to aim at the enemy at any time.

"Belief!"

The voice fell, the army pulled out, the gate of Brunswick opened wide, and the army left the city.

As the defender of the empire, Emperor Karl Franz was politically superior to diplomacy, which in turn was superior to military, but it would be a big mistake to underestimate his military capabilities. The emperor's own military capabilities were already It has been proven in wars and wars, and even he is a warrior recognized by the old world in terms of personal martial arts.

It's just that Emperor Karl Franz is a little bit less prominent than the dazzling military achievements of the Sun King next door.

The army marched fast. After leaving Brunswick, it went all the way along the road of the Rick River. New troops joined in the middle. After a few days, the emperor and his army had reached Rick. The famous town in the east, Glenburg.

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 more than half of the griffin knights. Among the nearly 400 griffin knights, there are 20 or 30 who really ride griffins. Elite knights, the remaining three hundred knights are all riding half-griffins.

The addition of this army greatly enhanced the emperor's confidence in this war. The Griffin Knights were the most important weapon of the empire. Arrival at this critical moment not only made the victory a little more certain, but also greatly stimulated the morale of the army. .

April 2520 in the imperial calendar, rain, east of Rikland.

Glenburg also has the reputation of "Rick's Granary". It is full of large reclaimed fields and livestock manor. When the emperor led the army to Glenburg, the Duke of Glenburg, Richard von Glenn The castle has led all the nobles to prepare a place for basic provisions and placement of the army, and the emperor is invited to stay in his noble manor.

Emperor Karl-Franz didn't want to stay here, but it was raining heavily at this time. Rick's army advancing in the rain would not only bring no benefits, but also cause fatigue and transportation loss of the army, so The emperor could only order to be stationed near the manor while cursing the **** weather.

As always, Marshal Heilberg, who belongs to the Emperor's Iron Triangle, is here, but Geert, the great alchemist in the other corner, is not there, and the army of the Alchemy Academy is still waiting on the road.

"Your Majesty, please use it." The attendant brought fresh hot milk to Emperor Karl Franz. The emperor said thank you softly, took the cup, and then asked the attendant, "Have the army drank hot milk yet? ?"

"We did our best to supply." The attendant bowed his head.

The hot milk that Karl Franz took a sip was placed on the table and never touched again.

"Your Majesty, if the rain continues to be so heavy, it is almost impossible for us to reach the Blackfire Pass within three weeks." Marshal Rick Heilberg's long and perfect mustache was also wet by the rain, Marshal Rick said. His face was gloomy, even a little unlucky: "After a few days of rapid marching, the army is a little tired."

"I know, but we have no choice. Now we can only hope that Marshal Lucien can hold the green skin for a longer time, or that 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!"

"It's not the worst!" Ivan, the Duke of Griffin, touched his long beard. His mount Beast Disaster was sheltering from the rain in the manor, while being fed raw meat by the attendants.

Yes, the good news the emperor got was that basically all the Griffin Knights arrived, and the bad news was that the Nuer army refused to be dispatched. The reason is very simple, most of Nuer's court and the command of Nuer's military. The system is participating in the river cruise ceremony in Britannia!

In the case that none of the three of the Empire's Countess Emmanuel, Nuer Grand Marshal Earl Stein, and Nuer Baron Frederick can make a decision in Nuer, the Nuer army will not assign the army to the emperor under the command.

At this time, Nuer had only a small number of generals and court nobles. They refused to send troops after receiving the emperor's edict. The reason was very simple. If the emperor could not block the enemy at the Black Fire Pass, then Nuer at least ensured that he had enough The army defended the city, just like when Tamu Khan invaded.

After receiving the news, the emperor spent a lot of energy to hold back his composure in front of others. He was very clear in his heart that without the support of the heavy artillery, war equipment and musket regiment of the Nuer army, facing the green skin This giant waaagh! It will be harder than ever.

The messenger tried to communicate with the Noor City Council, but the City Council always refused. They said that the problem was very simple, when we got the hand letter signed by the Countess, and when we dispatched.

The key is to send a letter to Emmanuel, and then let the messenger return to Nur with her letter and let Nur send troops. It takes at least seven or eight days for a messenger to pass, and even if you can save a lot of time by magically sending a message, it will take five or six days to go back and forth!

So it's no wonder that Manfred would like to thank Ryan for helping a lot. Under the tune of tigers, the command systems of the Nuer Army and the Bafeng Mountain dwarves have been adjusted. The Sun King who did not participate in the battle is simply the best in the game!

"The Nuer Army can't participate in the war. We can only rely on ourselves, Your Majesty." Count Griffin Anton is already a middle-aged man in his fifties this year. Although he is no longer young, he also has a beard. But his enthusiasm and bravery never changed: "If we do this, we should be able to have about 25,000 people participating in the war."

"We should have 25,000 people with Geert, and 15,000 people in Ivey's leadership. The total number is about 40,000." Marshal Rick Heilberg analyzed the situation, and a huge map was spread on the table. The old marshal held his marshal's scepter and pointed it on the Blackfire Pass: "There are 100,000 greenskins, and what's worse, if we have to march like this, I doubt if the soldiers can afford weapons when they reach the Blackfire Pass. ."

"But we must defend the Blackfire Pass!" Karl Franz slammed his fist on the table, and he said angrily: "Otherwise, if this green-skinned giant waaagh! enters the huge plain of Ivey Territory, then a whole year The harvest is all over!"

"The empire is very weak now." Ivan also had a serious expression, and Duke Griffin asked Marshal Rick, "What about the Stier Territory? Can Hout-Anderson be able to support it in time?"

"Talking is better than nothing." Heilberg shook his head: "You all know what the level of the Stile's army is. It's okay to fight security and city defense, and there won't be many in number. They also have to defend Sylvania. along the Asian route.”

Everyone chatted for a few more words, and there was no more way to do it.

After a worrying dinner, the emperor didn't even remember what he ate. Sitting in the manor, he felt more and more uncomfortable, so he had to stand up and plan to walk outside. The emperor's banner officer and champion Lu Dewei G. Schwarzhammer immediately led a team of Rick guards to protect the Emperor.

Walking past fences and wheat fields, through windmills and trees, the emperor noticed a group of imperial soldiers sitting around a fire, cursing around, putting their weapons aside, cursing the weather, and cursing the quartermaster official.

The food was not very good, hard bread, stewed beans, cabbage, a glass of poor beer and a bowl of broth with minced oil, and the three shared a sausage.

"I'm exhausted! Hurry up these days, my feet are blistered!"

"You're just blistering, and I've even worn out my boots!"

"Damn greenskin, Charlemagne curses you!"

"You said, it's understandable that His Majesty wants us to march quickly. After all, it's the **** green skin, but can the food be better?" Some soldiers complained: "That's all? Don't eat pigs!"

"It's definitely not His Majesty's problem, it must be the quartermaster's problem!" Someone shouted: "Your Majesty has always been the one who protects and cares about us the most. It must be that **** quartermaster Rhodes! He swallowed everything!"

The emperor's face was ugly after hearing this. He took his men and walked away in the rain: "Go and call Rhodes to me!"

"Yes!"

A few minutes later, the quartermaster General Rhodes came to meet the emperor in dismay: "Your Majesty, are you looking for me?"

"What's wrong? Rhodes?" The emperor wanted to ask directly, but when he saw that there were many scars on General Rhodes' face, his tone eased, and he turned to concern: "Why are you injured? Are there enemies nearby? "

"No... just something happened." General Rhode shook his head.

"Tell me the truth, my general." The emperor's state changed suddenly, he said sternly, completely unable to see the kindness of the previous second.

"It's just that some soldiers complained that the food was too poor. For the past four days, it was all broth, and only two meals had meat, or stew mixed with cabbage and carrots, so they came to the logistics to make trouble." General Rhode shook his head helplessly: "But We have done our best, Your Majesty, in an emergency, where can we get so much food temporarily."

"Didn't I ask you to send a grain collection team to collect grain everywhere?" The emperor asked suspiciously: "It's impossible that Rick can't even collect grain here, right?"

"People are sent, but the effect is not good, Your Majesty." The quartermaster said with a wry smile: "Last year, Rick's harvest was not good, and the family's surplus food was not very much. The farmers said that the weather is very strange today, it is very cold and there are often hail~www.wuxiaspot.com~ There is a lot of rain, the seedlings are flooded badly, and probably this year's harvest will not be very good."

This remark made the emperor frown. Since last year, the whole old world has been like a madman. In just a few months, more than a dozen beastmen tribes have been raging in the empire this year, the plague has spread on a large scale, crops have been reduced, and the sect of chaos activities are very frequent.

Rickland has always been the province with the most homesteaders, so it goes without saying that homesteaders have their own weapons, powerful combat effectiveness, low cost, and high overall quality, but it is very difficult to collect grain from homesteaders. Unlike serfs and tenants, Self-cultivation farmers must give priority to ensuring that they are full and well-fed first, and then consider selling the surplus grain. If they are forced to levy, it will be a huge blow to the prestige of the emperor.

Originally, the empire could import a large amount of grain from Brittany for military rations. However, this year, for some unknown reason, Sun King Ryan suddenly adjusted his national policy and greatly reduced grain exports to the empire. The purple phoenix placed a huge order, which made the military rations during the green and yellow period not enough.

The empire is weak now, the emperor thought.

Strange, why is there no such thing as climate change, plagues and wild beastman activity in Brittany?

No, that's Ryan's business, not me.

I must not fall, the army must not fall, the empire, must not fall.

"Rick Guard!"

"exist!"

The Emperor quickly wrote a note from the table: "You guys, take this and go to the Duke of Glenborg! Let him open his private storage room!"

"Yes!"

The Rick Guards went out, a move that would obviously offend the nobles, but would give the soldiers much-needed nourishment so they wouldn't pass out on the way to a forced march.

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