Warhammer Seal

Chapter 198 The End of the Black Fire Pass Battle

This is the special ability of the Sword of Salvation, which can reflect all types of magic, allowing Wende, who cannot use magic, to use magic damage of mass destruction.

The bouncing Gobgo stomped the orc shaman into a lump of flesh, and at the same time, the orc's front finally began to collapse.

Starting from the goblins first, these guys with spears began to flee without armor and armor, and ran towards the outside of the pass.

Then came the giants, then the trolls, and then the orcs.

They crumbled, they fled, and the Empire won.

Perhaps the commoners of the empire thought they lived in a peaceful and stable world, but they didn't know that thousands of years ago, the old world was still a place where orcs were infested.

Perhaps many scholars believe that humans just picked up a loophole after the Longbeard War broke out between elves and dwarves, and easily obtained the land of the old world.

But they don't know that survival is not an innate right, but a spoil that forgotten heroes use their wisdom and courage to snatch from the cold nature.

When you feel that the years are peaceful, there must be someone who is carrying a burden in the dark, and even loses his most precious thing, life.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, Mario Redolph, he..."

Mario Redolph, the Elector of Ivy province, is called the mad prince.

In fact, there is a sharp mind hidden under his very vulgar behavior and overly expensive clothes.

A poet and inventor of some renown, he was also a brilliant swordsman and military strategist, he led his armies at the front with great talent and skill, many great victories were attributed to his insane courage and inconceivable insight.

He is also Karl Franz's most trusted ally.

"What's up with him?"

Karl had already realized that something was wrong, and the joy of victory turned into gloom.

"On the other side, we encountered a Black Orc Warlord. We wanted to retreat first, but Radolph said that we could not create any pressure on the Emperor's side, and then we made a desperate duel with the Orc Warlord and wounded it, but, but We were defeated in the end, and the Mad Lord has passed away."

Can't show any sad expression, everyone is still enjoying the joy of victory, forcibly suppressing the pain in their hearts, the warhammer in their hands fell directly to the ground.

"Radolph, did he have any last words?"

"He said that the greatest thing he did in his life was to choose you as emperor."

"Understood, go down, I will bury him properly."

The alliance of humans and dwarves once again won the battle of Blackfire Pass. After this battle, even the orcs with very fast reproductive ability will take hundreds of years to recover to their previous numbers.

The dwarves were delighted to have successfully accomplished yet another ancient vengeance, but there was no time to rejoice, for they had important things to do south of the World's Edge Mountains, as did the Empire.

The Empire is the strongest and largest country in the entire Old World, a human force established by Sigmar thousands of years ago and unified through the provincial system and the electorate system.

But even today after 2520, the empire is still facing all kinds of terrible environments and disasters.

All the provinces of the empire are seldom united, and rarely stand together when surrounded by evil forces everywhere.

There are Norsemen and Chaos in the north, vampires and ogres in the east, countless orcs and ratmen in the south, and dark elves and fellow Bretonnians in the west.

Not for glory, not for plunder, just for survival, the empire has been surrounded by war.

For two thousand and five hundred years we have endured silently, sometimes we germinate briefly in the sun, and more often we linger in the shadow of death.

For 500 years we fought, died, and spilled the blood of our enemies and our own on countless battlefields—human beings constantly sacrificing themselves, and sacrifices kept the human blood alive, generation after generation, generation after generation.

Not a great ideal, because sacrifice itself is greater than any ideal, but maybe there is a hope buried deep in everyone's heart: maybe one day, maybe 1 years later, there will be a generation that no longer needs sacrifice, and there will be a generation , mankind will live forever in peace.

The victory at Heihuo Pass was not achieved in vain. Many people's lives were exchanged for such a hard-won victory. The person who died in battle may be someone's brother, someone's father, someone's husband, someone's son.

Wende knew very well that the long death list had profoundly changed the future of the entire empire and even the entire world, and perhaps the world could still be saved.

"My name is Karl Franz, and you are the first to call me emperor."

"I was born in this world like you, a world where wars, chaos, and disasters will never stop."

"Fortunately, fortresses built with human hope and courage stand everywhere in the old world. We have the same name, the Empire."

As the coffin of Mario Redolph, Elector of Ivy, slowly closed, Karl took a last look at his best friend.

Imperial officials have already walked in. According to the rules of the position of the elector, when an elector dies or disappears, his eldest son or brother must inherit such a position.

Radolph had a younger brother and a son, and news of his death had already been passed on.

His younger brother is Hans Redolph, who is currently the head of the Blood Knights of Sigmar, and he is not interested in such a position as the elector.

His son, Rufus Redolph, disappeared in the World's Edge Mountains.

And he didn't have any illegitimate children, so the position of the Elector of Aiwei Province was vacant.

Now it was the most critical moment for the empire. Kislev even reported that they saw a Norscan army in the north that was even bigger than 200 years ago.

Aiwei Province cannot do without a backbone, but right now it does not have any successors.

Karl had no choice but to merge the province of Aiwei into the province of Rick in the same way that the empire treated the province of Thor back then.

Such a move will have great political consequences, and the first thing it will affect is the authority of the empire.

Sigma had agreed back then that each elector had the right to inherit his own land. Even if the elector was betrayed, the empire would abolish the elector at most instead of merging an entire province.

Karl Franz, who had just won the third battle at Blackfire Pass, had eliminated discordant voices in the entire empire against his throne, and his authority had reached a high level.

But this is only a little tax increase. If the Aiwei province is directly merged, it will bring many negative effects.

Tax rates fell, development slowed, and even the hostility of several northern electors.

Another political question, and what Karl is best at is political questions, whichever is the lesser of two evils.

"I declare! Aiwei province and Rick province start today, Hebang!"

　Mario Redolph, most notorious of the Madlord of the Aveland, was the late Elector of the Aveland and was once considered one of the bravest, but also the craziest, generals in the Imperial Armed Forces.

　　There are not many people who can wage war on forests, bee swarms, and imaginary so-called murlocs, so it is not for nothing that Mario Redolph is called "The Mad Lord".

　　Most people knew Radolph because of his eccentricity, vainness, and moody madness at court.

　　Although Radolph's bad reputation has caused a lot of damage to his reputation, what is actually hidden under his "unconventional" behavior and overly expensive clothes is a sharp mind.

　　In fact, he was a poet and inventor of some renown.Additionally, Radolph was a brilliant swordsman and military strategist who led his armies at the front with considerable flair and skill, and many great victories were attributed to his insane courage and uncanny insight.

　　Karl Franz regarded Radolf as his most trusted ally until the Elector died a heroic death in 2520 Imperium Calendar.
