Warhammer Seal

Chapter 2 The Weary Emperor with the Hammer

The nobles of Altdorf have no command ability at all, and their private army just attacked all, stupidly strangling with the orc army.

Letting humans and orcs fight head-to-head is a mistake that no experienced general will make.

If this continues, the special waaagh energy that the orcs inspire through continuous killing can also strengthen them again.

Afterwards these few orc troops were even able to eat the emperor's own army.

However, Karl Franz is worthy of being an emperor who has experienced many battles. Even if he just rushed to the battlefield, he made a quick analysis.

His spearmen and swordsmen immediately rushed to the flanks of the orc army, the halberd soldiers stood in formation to face the charging orc war pig boy, and the Rick guards had already attacked in full force, rushing towards the goblin archers.

These goblins are not strong orcs. Everyone in the Rick Guard is an extremely powerful cavalry charge. Whether it is a spear or a horseshoe, it will cause huge losses to these goblins.

"It's weird."

Wende had already sneaked onto the city wall, overlooking the entire battlefield.

"Halberdiers wear heavy armor, and theoretically run very slowly, so they cannot support the frontal battlefield."

It was too late to say it was too late, a group of musketeers suddenly walked out from the woods on the side of the halberd soldiers, and all of them took their positions and fired the first round of bullets.

Most of the orc war pig boys wear armor, which is better for slashing and killing when rushing into the crowd of imperial troops.

But the Musketeer is one of the few output units in the empire, and bullets that can easily penetrate mail armor can cause huge output.

And for the orc war pig boy holding a shield, shooting from the side can also avoid the impact of the bullet being absorbed by the shield.

After a round of volley, the orc war pig boy directly suffered one-third of the casualties, lost the initial impact force, and all hit the halberd soldier's halberd.

"Wow, I almost forgot. Unlike a spear, a weapon like a halberd is very helpful in concentrating a soldier's whole body strength on the front end of the halberd, which can easily pierce armor."

Wende suddenly realized that the massacre in Altdorf just now was too tragic, and the blood and fear even made him forget some basic knowledge.

Among the orc infantry, except for the black orc and the big orc, the others either went into battle shirtless, or hung a few iron plates on their bodies for self-defense.

Armor-piercing weapons have a slow attack speed, and it's not worthwhile to use armor-piercing lethal weapons to hit enemies without armor.

After Emperor Karl Franz himself knocked off the head of an Orc Warpig Boy, the entire Orc cavalry began to rout.

At the same time, the weak orc archers and goblin archers were also defeated.

The impact of Rick's guards was not built. After defeating all the orc long-range troops, they immediately turned around and rushed towards the back of the orc infantry who were fighting with the human infantry.

The back charge directly demoralized the orc boy who was caught in the battle. He threw away his helmet and armor and left the battlefield. All the orc infantry had already begun to rout.

After these orcs lost their advantage, their fighting will was not much different from that of the old farmer in Bretonnia next door. Now there is only one orc warrior left on the battlefield who still has the ability to fight.

Having just beheaded an empire captain, it can be said that its morale is high now, kicking away the three or four spearmen surrounding it, and rushing towards Karl Franz.

Take one step slowly, two steps, and then suddenly pick up the pace quickly, the emperor's cloak is constantly rising and falling behind him, and the four-color feathers on his head are also fluttering in the wind, and he charges.

A man and a beast collided violently, and they all slashed at each other with fatal blows.

Karl Franz's hammer smashed into the orc warlord's chest, and the latter's weapon left only a small scratch on the emperor's own armor.

The victory or defeat was in an instant, such a miss in melee attack directly caused the orc general to lose morale, and he turned around and ran towards the edge of the forest.

At this time, the emperor was also powerless to pursue, and just squatted down after smiling slightly.

The musketeer behind him immediately opened fire, firing bullets one after another, turning the injured orc warrior into crispy mushroom patties.

Altdorf was back under the control of the Imperium of Man, the infantry began to rest, and the Reik Guards continued to hunt down the fleeing orc infantry.

Wende also knew that these creatures called orcs were not actually animals, but a fungus like mushrooms. As long as the corpses were not disposed of, an orc corpse could grow in only six months at the right temperature. A goblin.

The corpses of all the orcs were gathered together, and then they were all burned by a fire.

The civilians in the city of Altdorf can finally walk out of the basement and dark corners, shed tears to collect the bodies of their families, and at the same time sort out the lost property.

In a deeper corner, there are some followers of Leonard, the god of thieves, despicably stealing property from corpses.

Following the triumphant return of the emperor himself, all the nobles in the inner city went out to greet them. Although they were not good at fighting, this group of people were particularly good at political struggles.

I didn't have the strength to fart, and when I asked for credit, I ran to the first place.

In front of the emperor, if you say something about being a king and sticking to the city, you will get a lot of fame and status.

A trace of displeasure flashed in Emperor Karl Franz's eyes, and he immediately greeted him with a smile. His rule still needed the help of nobles.

The three cities in the south of Rick's territory all began to show signs of rebellion. If these Altdorf nobles put them together again, it would be enough for Karl Franz to lose his status as emperor.

Forget it, rebuild the city.

"Hey! That man over there!"

Karl Franz looked wearily at Wende who was on the edge of the city wall, took two copper coins from the clerk, and put them in Wende's hand.

"You have been hired, and for the next three days you will assist the imperial army in rebuilding the city walls."

"Yes! My lord the emperor!"

Wende was also a little surprised, the emperor didn't dislike his identity, and put the money directly in his hands.

You know, when working with other people, they all throw the copper coins directly on the ground!

"Damn it, in this fucked medieval warhammer world, I was planning to dawdle, but now, I want to save this human empire!"

Perhaps because of the respect from the emperor, or because of the morale boost brought by the imperial power, Wende's heart was suddenly filled with fighting spirit.

That's right, Wende doesn't belong to this world at all. If he muster up his courage, he might be able to use his knowledge to fight the world-destroying Chaos Demon, or at least die a glorious death on the battlefield.

The emperor himself walked towards the inner city with a tired face, and there were still many political issues waiting for him to deal with.

"The emperor, hehe, the emperor."

This small complaint reached Wende's ears, and it was only then that he understood the pain in the emperor's heart.

The elector is duplicity, the vampires are constantly moving, the orcs come to plunder from time to time, and the nobles in the city.

When was the last time the emperor laughed heartily?It should have been when King Lawn, who had run all the way from a long distance, raised his wine glass to himself when he just sat on the throne of God.
