Proof of the Sun King

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

The Rick Guards have always been the Emperor's personal army and the most powerful cavalry unit in Brunswick (with the exception of the Brunswick Royal Half-Griffin Guard), who also served as the Emperor's personal guard and in many cases represented the Emperor inspection and supervision tasks.

Flowers bloom for another season. This year's Rick Guards also recruited a lot of new recruits. Most of them are children of great nobles or, and there are no shortage of children from knight families and elite military families. Rick Guards greeted them with open arms. For many people, the prerequisite is that they have passed the military literacy and absolute loyalty to the emperor.

There is another inner ring organization in the Rick guards, called Rick Inner Ring Knights, this group of knights is only 30 to 40 people, but they still have strong armor and flexible skills, strong strength and handling things excellent ability.

The knights of the inner ring were responsible for isolating the people approaching the imperial vehicle and guarding the emperor. They were usually armed with heavy shields, armed with heavy swords, axes, and two-handed greatswords, and wore full-body plate armor polished to a mirror-like shine and decorated with beautiful feathers.

Combining battles with other Imperial units, they were agile and protracted heavy infantry, excelling in both siege and formation defense.

Today is the day when the emergency meeting of the imperial parliament expands. The knights of the inner ring lined up outside the parliament gate, preparing to defend the emperor's court.

The closest to the gate are two senior Rick Inner Guards, named Schuller and Wadsey. While they reprimanded the Rick Guard recruits to improve their concentration and spirit, they told everyone with a fierce attitude. , the emperor and the electors are in a meeting, the only and most important task of the imperial court at present is war.

"War, what war?" Many jesters and noble lords liked by the emperor scoffed at this. How can there be war?

In the past two years, the Empire finally breathed a sigh of relief. After the recovery of the Badlands and Bafeng Mountain in the south, the threat from the greenskin was much smaller. , the Empire can relax a little.

In the east, High King Thorgrim sacked Gombard. He threw the last Goblin of Goblin off the cliff with his own hands, and then announced that another feud had been purged, and Thorgrim left behind a An expedition of 500 people was mining on Mount Gangbad, and the victory class went to Eternal Peak.

Needless to say, in the West, after Brittany and the Empire reached the "Tibu Friendly Alliance and Mutual Assistance Agreement", there have been very few contradictions and conflicts between the two sides. An army of no more than a thousand men, which is one-tenth of what it used to be, and a great deal of military expenditure and troops were saved and used where it was more needed.

Well, it could only be the North, but aren't the barbarians going to fight the Dark Elves?

war? what war?

The Rick guards were very stubborn. They refused the footsteps of any visitor. Some great noble lords and high courtiers covered in perfume and from famous families tried to put on the air. The Rick guards drew their weapons to let them know that they were not joking.

But the long meeting still made the Rick guards feel collapsed. Some recruits couldn't support it after standing for a long time. Even the strictest inner ring guards felt fatigued, but they knew that they could not slack off.

After a while, a general came out of the door. It was Rudolf von Lichtenstein, the imperial general, and Schuler, the inner ring guard, hurriedly asked him: "Rudolf, how is the situation?"

"Generally speaking, everyone is aware of the threat of Chaos in the North, and the pigs raised by Kislev's dogs did not report such a big situation to us, but ran to fight the Chaos **** on their own. ." Rudolph's voice was very depressed, the imperial general did not close the door tightly, and went out like this: "It's basically like this, there's nothing to keep secret."

A voice came from inside.

"Catalin and her court have just retreated to Ostermark, she is carrying the wealth of the Tsarist family for thousands of years, but the most elite troops we desperately need have been almost completely lost, and she also brings a large group of court. The servants and the nobles of Boyer, I can hardly find a place to put them." The irritable and anxious tone of the speaker of Ostermark and the elector of Bekafen, Hertwig, is also very clear in the messy discussion: "The wave of refugees is hitting the border, putting huge 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." Vamir von Zhukov, the Grand Duke of Osterland, also emphasized: "No one expected this to happen. Kislev should have relied on the strong city to resist and ask for help. , but I got word that Prager has fallen, that the forces of Chaos have taken it, and that there is no word from Erlengrad."

"Impossible!" Grand Duke Theodoric Geisel of Nord's voice was angry and pale: "I know the strength of Kislev's army, even if the war is lost, like bear cavalry, winged cavalry and The ace army like the Kerim guards will not disappear so easily. Do you think Kislev is completely finished? I suspect that Katarin is saving her strength and throwing the burden over!"

"Listen, listen, I don't think we should spend time grieving for the furry northerners, they may be dead and wounded, but it's better than if they switch to Chaos or just give up." Boris Todd, Elector of the White Wolf Bollinger is still the familiar loud voice: "Now is not the time to argue about this, the empire must unite, immediately start announcing the general mobilization order, and call up all troops, we have to fight to the death with those chaotic **** on the border of the empire, since they want to Come, then let them come, and Middenheim will stand forever until the last of Uric's son falls."

"Stop, stop, friend!" Helmut Feuerbach, Elector of Tarabeheim and Archduke of Tarabek, reached out and made a "T" gesture to signal Boris to calm down: "Youareaf* *kinganimal! Big brother, you know, who ordered it? General mobilization? Are you serious? Just general mobilization? You, the grand duke, are afraid that the end is coming!"

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

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

The voice of Edbrand Ludenhof, the Great Baron of Hawke, was very clear and loud: "Hawke understands that we are trying to mobilize, but we are alone and must get more support, including but not limited to the army, Equipment, food and gold."

Shuler listened to everything in his ears, and the inner guard was trying to help the emperor share his worries.

The empire is now in a very difficult situation. It is now expected that the Chaos army will approach the border of the empire in less than two months at the fastest and three months at the slowest. The army is about to be crushed, but the empire is unprepared. The army has not even begun to mobilize here, after all, the autumn harvest has just ended.

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

In the Imperial Council, Emperor Karl Franz frowned all the time. He looked at the Archbishop of Vikmar who was sitting not far away, and wanted to gain his support, but Archbishop Vikmar was divided because of other things. Heart, the Luther-Huss affair is a big deal, one of the great chanters of the Justice Church, Esme III, is using this as an excuse to keep attacking Vicma, hoping to replace him, or to achieve a lot in the church. Human demands - including but not limited to the sale of indulgences, inheritance of fiefs, and excommunication of Lutherhus.

Wickma disagrees with none of these three, but he knows that his enemies come from within the church. There are not a few regional bishops, cardinals and cardinals who are in favor of Esme III, and no one will dislike him. The benefits and benefits are many, but the responsibility and obligation are extremely disgusting.

"If we can mobilize in general, we should start mobilizing on the spot now." Finally, after arguing for a long time, the emperor spoke: "For example, near the front line, Nord, Oster, Ous, who are most likely to be attacked. As soon as the provinces of Temark and Hawke go back, they can mobilize the army immediately, and as for the southern provinces, including the Rick Territory, we will follow up immediately and provide support with rations and salaries at the same time.”

"When will we be able to keep up? How much can we provide? Five hundred catties of grain are also provided, and five hundred tons of grain are also provided!" Hertwig reacted violently. He banged on the table hard, as if he did not realize that he was ignoring this item. How much damage has been caused by sandalwood antiques with a history of more than 300 years: "My Majesty, don't correct these falsehoods, isn't the lesson obvious enough? The reaction is slow, and it is impossible to save it? This is the Empire? This is Karl Franz Enough, I should immediately go to the Butcher Castle to find His Majesty the Butcher King Agrim, he is much more reliable than you, Franz!"

"Raising rations and recruiting troops takes time!" 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 a meeting!"

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

"Then you should immediately send all the standing army and the garrison army to the north. Now is not the time to be concerned!" Grand Duke Nord (the self-proclaimed king) Geisel said displeasedly: "Also, we need more A lot of gold coins, those with the portraits of the emperor, the elector...or the portraits of the dwarves and the king of knights on the opposite side of the mountain! The elves are also fine, only gold coins, we can make those noble lords or city councils under our command, and those who Mercenary regiments and even ogre regiments accept our invitation to fight for the defense of the Empire!"

The emperor's face is ugly. There is still money in his treasury, but nearly half of it is a war loan from the Supreme King, and there must be a sum of money in the treasury. There is not much money left that can be used. Anyway, it is impossible. Satisfy the appetites of these electors. This year has finally been a bumper harvest, the emperor's treasury has a large surplus, and he plans to renovate the palace.

At this moment, everyone's voices stopped, and everyone turned their attention to one person.

In recent years, who is the richest in the empire?

There is no doubt that it is the ruler of Nuer, the Imperial Countess Emmanuel von Lebowitz-Bernardino. The biggest beneficiary of the "Tip of Friendship, Alliance and Mutual Aid Treaty" is Nuer, Emmanuel Li also became one of the most popular imperial nobles in Britannia because of her special relationship with Ryan.

The Imperial Countess hasn't said a word since the beginning, but she obviously listened carefully. Behind Emmanori sits her right-hand man, Marshal Noor, Earl Stein, and Judge Noor, Theo. Do-Bruckner, the Imperial Countess today is wearing a full set of fresh peony color Mo Yulin classical hip-packed skirt, with a black and gold Duchess cape, a pair of delicate and straight long legs with dark red semi-permeable meat, ultra-thin velvet and delicate Pantyhose and a pair of **** skull-printed pointed-toe strappy suede heels, and her long blond hair twisted in a grand aristocratic-lady hairstyle and secured with an electoral crown, after many years as ruler of Nuer, Ai. Manoli's every move is full of majesty, and now she can put enormous psychological pressure on people with just one look.

Feeling the eyes of everyone, Emmanuel did not have any smile on her face. The heart of the Imperial Countess was already filled with contempt and hatred for the female tsar. She thought for a moment and said, "Nur and Wesson understand that The Empire will provide assistance within its capacity. I can promise it here, but I need to wait until I return to Nur to discuss with the city council. As for the army, Nur and Wessen can immediately send five legions to the north to support them. Some logistical supplies."

"That's not enough, my Countess!" Geisel continued to complain: "Everyone knows that you can mobilize at least thirty legions, as well as those steam tanks and Nuer armored troops, not one less!"

"Nur's Iron Armored Army has taken it to protect you, who will protect me?" Emmanuel confronted him **** for tat: "Nur and Wessen are not without enemies, just in the Black Mountains in the south, there are still a large number of goblins. The Horde is entrenched there, and the southern part of Wessenland is under attack from time to time!"

"Solland has been taken over by Gelt's Alchemy Academy. They will solve your problems in the south. You must send your army to the north now, or it will be too late!" The Archduke of Osterland and Elector Wolfen Houvamir shouted angrily: "The army of chaos may appear on the border of the empire at any time!"

"Stir's army patrolling the river and the army guarding Sylvania can't move either. On this basis, I will send a few legionnaires from Uterbad, but the logistics and military salaries need you to solve, I No kidding." Archduke Steele, Elector Graf-Alberich-Houter-Andersen, still in a tattered fur coat and wool shirt, looked more like a beggar than an Elector.

"We are asked to send troops, we are asked to mobilize ourselves, and we are asked to pay for food, how can such a good thing!" The madness of Marius Lightdorf, the mad earl and the Grand Duke of Ivey, also came up. , he scolded: "Who said we won't support you? Who said we won't provide help? Don't lie too much, the order of general mobilization is just casual? Do you know how much it will cost to do this?! You guys Are they all pigs? If you don't want help, get out now!"

"Enough, shut up! Marius, we are discussing how to face this chaotic frenzy, instead of busy fighting and quarreling!" Karl Franz banged the small wooden hammer hard, letting the Imperial Council The crowd quieted down, and the emperor saw it. The electors in the south did not want to announce the general mobilization at this time~www.wuxiaspot.com~ They still wanted to see how the situation was, and the problem was that the electors in the north were not like The electors of the South are as wealthy as they are - have enough financial capacity to support their general mobilization.

After arguing for a while, the electors have indeed realized the seriousness of this Chaos invasion. The 300,000 troops on the opposite side are waiting for no one. The final result of the discussion is that the electors in the south will pay for food and money first. A part of the standing army and conscripts will be sent north to support, while the northern electors will conduct general mobilization and begin to deploy defenses along the border to prepare for the tide of destruction in the north.

"Your Majesty, can the Empire ask the High Elves for help?" At this time, Grand Duke Geisel of Nord asked the Emperor.

"I will inform the high-precision ambassador." The emperor nodded.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that you immediately ask the dwarves for help." Marius, the Archduke of Ivey, also immediately added.

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

"Then, Carl, the knight kingdom across the mountain, do we also ask for assistance?" The Grand Duke of Midden, the White Wolf Elector Boris Todblinger, then said: "The covenant is not a white lot, right? This time If we don't ask for help, how long do we have to wait?"

"This..." The emperor not only hesitated, asking for assistance from Britannia? Has the Empire really come to such a difficult time? This is such a big favor.

"What do you think, Countess Emmanuel?"
