Warhammer Seal

Chapter 55 Capture of Duncanhof Castle
The empire has no behemoths, and they don't even have much experience in fighting behemoths.

When ordinary spearmen and halberd soldiers are training, the biggest enemy they face is cavalry-sized targets.

With no experience, it would be very passive to let them fight the bloodthirsty sky ghost.

Ruixi is different, she is a dark elf, and she has rich experience in fighting giant beasts since she started fighting.

The war mammoth of Norsca, the phoenix of the high elves, and even the manticore of the dark elves.

Ruixi has not only fought with giant beasts, but also killed giant beasts.

With her rich experience, she could clearly see the distribution of blood vessels on the bloodthirsty ghost's neck after staying in the air for 0.3 seconds.

The two daggers were inserted quickly, accurately touching the position of the aorta, and then pulled hard.

No matter how powerful the Bloodthirsty Sky Ghost was, he couldn't bear such a violent attack, so he let out a wail, and began to deflect his body to throw Ruixi off.

But after being targeted by a dark elf, it is not so easy to get rid of it.

Even if he tried his best to shake his body, Ruixi only let him go. Immediately after his feet hit the ground, he ejected his whole body, gently penetrating through the entire body of the Bloodthirsty Sky Ghost.

Is this the strength of elite witch spirits?If he was still in Naggaroth, he might have already been promoted and joined the ranks of killing sisters.

Wende couldn't help but gasp, this woman actually has such strength, so terrifying.

Ruixi, who has the strength to kill the sisters, restrains all infantry and stopped behemoths, except that she is only afraid of cavalry.

Easily kill the bloodthirsty sky ghost, and then shake off the blood on the dagger.

The desire to kill had just begun, but it could only stop.

The rest of the bloodthirsty sky ghosts have all been killed, and the crossbowmen and artillerymen have returned to their positions.

Keep shooting, keep bombing, pour out all the arrows and shells!

The empire's shells and bows are endless, while the zombies and skeletons of Dunkenhof Castle are casualties every second.

After wiping out all the infantry of the Vampire Count, the musketeers climbed up the city wall and took advantage of the high ground to shoot at the Blood Knight.

The blood knight in heavy armor is not afraid of crossbow bolts and shells, so he hardly suffered any damage before.

But now the musket bullets can directly penetrate the steel plate no matter how thick armor you wear.

Given enough musketeers, the power of the gunpowder could even cork Khorne himself, don't think that's impossible, it just takes a lot of musketeers.

"boom!"

A precise bullet shot into the head of the last blood knight, sending its skull flying several meters away.

Its death also shows that Dunkenhof Castle has been completely attacked. From now on, this is the land of the empire.

The local peasants were quickly gathered, and the empire issued part of the [-]th tax refund for them to stabilize their lives, and at the same time needed their labor.

Construction begins on an imperial church, and burning candles and devout prayers will do a good job of turning the locals' belief in vampires around.

If you really don't want to convert, that's why the Imperial Priests always carry a hammer with them.

Taverns were built, and the people had to have enough entertainment to appease their restless hearts.

At the same time, the tavern also attracted the arrival of witch hunters, who were more than happy to spread the faith of Sigmar in this uncivilized land.

Commonly used missionary methods include, but are not limited to, nooses, muskets, rapiers, and torches.

Of course, Karl's occupation of the city cannot be a loss-making business.

Now that the empire has occupied the entire southern part of Sylvania, neither Swartz Harbor nor Fort Oberstern collects taxes, and a lot of money has to be invested to clean up the corruption of vampires.

Finally, after capturing Duncanhof Castle, the economy is on the right track.

Here is the largest gold mine in the entire old world, and the gold brought out of the mine every quarter can mint a thousand gold coins!

Enough to buy a staggering amount of food from Mutland to alleviate Sylvania's development problems.

Gold entered the empire, food and tools entered Sylvania, and the economic benefits brought by commercial trade far exceeded a thousand gold coins.

The capital of the empire began to become rich, but it was easy to conquer the world and difficult to defend the world.

This truth that Wende knew, how could Emperor Karl not know it.

Conquering five provinces is not as important as governing one province well.

With the credit for capturing the province of Sylvania, it is enough for Karl to be promoted to the top five emperors of the empire, and all this is just the beginning.

In the treasure room of Dunkenhof Castle, Karl finds an unexpected treasure.

Starberg's letter.

"Guntar Starberg."

Karl knew this witch hunter. When he broke with Volkma the Ruthless, Volkma led an army of believers to Sylvania to fight against vampires.

Volkmar the Ruthless is the archbishop of the Church of Sigmar. Naturally, he will not be reckless. While preparing to attack Sylvania, he sent a team of witch hunters to investigate the Castaine family and find more weaknesses of vampires. .

This witch hunter team was led by Starberg, but the team was completely wiped out after meeting Manfred von Carstein.

At the last moment, Starberg managed to write the last letter, which detailed the vampire's weaknesses and ways to deal with corruption.

Just when Manfred wanted to gather spells to destroy the blessed letter, he received news that the north was being attacked by Volkma, so he had to fight first.

The letter could only be left in Duncanhof Castle, and it became an excellent quality purple equipment in Karl's hands.

White is ordinary, green is high-quality, blue is rare, and purple is exquisite.

This letter is indeed worthy of purple, a color that represents the quality of equipment.

At the same time, it also provides an eternal shield of faith for all soldiers who fight against undead creatures, so that they no longer fear undead creatures.

But at this moment, the scouts suddenly ran to Karl and brought a very bad news.

On the battlefields of northern Sylvania, the Empire crumbles.

"Where's Volkma the Heartless! What happened to him! Did he escape successfully!"

Karl was extremely shocked to receive such bad news after capturing Dunkenhof Castle.

The scout trembled, but finally told the unfortunate truth.

"Lord Volkma, he...he was defeated and captured."

　Wende's Tactics Notes (2): All weapons that can penetrate armor or kill are either slow to reload or slow to swing.It is simply impossible to have an armor-piercing weapon that can be swung quickly and reloaded quickly.
