Warhammer Seal

Chapter 9

Two full-stacked armies require a maintenance fee of five thousand gold coins each time.

The tax revenue of the entire Altdorf is only 1392 pieces at a time, and he has also formulated the decree of the mayor meeting to increase the prosperity and trade volume of Reikland.

At least all the nobles were killed, and a total of 5000 gold coins were confiscated from their homes. Although the rest of the property disappeared, it was considered a reward for capturing the four cities.

Money money money money.

This question made Carl very anxious.

The witch hunter who burned Jack before was summoned to the palace. For so long, he didn't realize that the consultant next to Carl was a demon.

As a punishment for dereliction of duty, he was confiscated with a thousand gold coins. With the addition of gold coins, the empire's military pay for the next two quarters will not be a problem.

But money is something that always gets less and less.

A flame mage from the Blood Forest recommended himself, offering 275 gold coins per quarter as a fee for his loyalty.

The money must be spent, and the Empire needs the help of its mages.

"Your Majesty, we don't have any money and we can borrow it from Marienburg."

Wende spoke, and as the new advisor, he now shared the concerns of the emperor himself.

"What is this money borrowed for? Investing? Building economic buildings?"

Wende shook his head and stretched out his hands to draw.

"Borrow money to feed a huge army."

"The army is a money-losing business. How will we pay back Marienburg's money by then?"

"You have a huge army, why pay back the money?"

With a single word to wake up the dreamer, Karl understood all of Wende's plans at once. Marienburg, which had been separated from the empire for 100 years, was time to return to the direct rule of the empire.

Of course Wende knew the property of Marienburg, and just one port was enough to feed a full low-level army of the empire.

But now is not the time to attack. As a person who has cleared all the game battles, he certainly knows what will happen next.

The orcs would split into two groups, one trying to cross Hemgard and the other attacking Earhart.

Picking up the map, Wende drew two lines on it with a pen.

A full force is needed to defend Hemgard from the orc invasion.

A full team is needed to help defend Earhart. After defeating the orcs, this team can go to Marienburg.

Just when the plan was made, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and a man with a terrible scar on his right eye walked in from the outside.

With a bald head, a big mustache, a metal cloak, embellished with green gems, it is the great priest of the Sigma sect, [The Heartless] Volkma.

With a very ugly face, he walked directly in front of Carl, and slapped his hands on the table hard.

"You actually bowed your head to those Ulrich Cultists! And you even admitted that the Ulric Church is higher than the Sigma Sect! Unforgivable!"

Carl is a Sigma believer, but he is also an excellent politician, and what is needed in the intrigue is compromise and concession.

Because of his concession in faith, the most dangerous enemy has become the friendliest friend.

For such a result, he has a clear conscience, and from the perspective of a human warrior, there is no difference between believing in Sigma and believing in Urik.

No matter what the emperor himself thought, [The Heartless] Volkma was already furious, but he couldn't punch Karl directly in the face.

"Wait, I'll leave with Altdorf's Lashers and Freedom Militia, the true fighters of Sigmar."

Karl didn't speak. It would be too simple to get Boris' help if he just compromised his faith a little.

Right now, the departure of the great priest is an acceptable loss.

It doesn't matter to Wende, anyway, he has never bought the expansion pack for the role of Volkma, nor can he operate the Lasher and Space Warrior (free accompanying militia).

The only price for letting the high priest go is that the Church of Sigmar will lose one vote in the next election of the emperor.

The good thing is that this guy is bound to find trouble with vampires.

After sending off Volkma, Ludenhof will have to assign tasks next. He will inevitably face an enemy full of orc boys and goblin archers, and maybe Ironhide will fight in person.

Wind's advice to him was very simple, stick to Hemgart, and use a full force of imperial infantry and Hemgart's defenders to stop the orc greenskins from the south.

As for Carl, it didn't take Wende to teach him how to fight.

"Your Majesty, you must remember that we can only attack Marienburg after we have wiped out all the greenskins that invaded in the first wave."

Karl nodded. He knew better than anyone that the empire's national strength could not support multi-line operations.

Imperial officials and scholars are currently focusing their efforts on people's livelihood, encouraging fertility, building new water conservancy projects, and developing agriculture.

If you think about it, at present the empire does not need to allocate funds to the infantry corps. The empire mainly focuses on positional warfare. At present, it rarely takes the initiative to fight, and it is all passive defense.

There is no need to improve the cavalry skills. Rick's guards are the eldest sons of nobles, and they have been washed away long ago.

Hire a little more artillery?There is no need at present, there is simply not so much time and opportunity to fire.

Think of a way to get ranged infantry to carry more ammo?No need, as long as it is an encounter, the long-range infantry has never run out of bullets and crossbow bolts.

Perhaps the next step is to send out diplomats from the imperial provinces after they have money to improve the relationship with other electors and consolidate the stability of the imperial power in the territory.

Wende has no way to provide acceleration services for these technologies, and perhaps he can enjoy the money during this period of time.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, I will go to Marienburg to investigate the information first, and prepare for the subsequent attack."

Wende doesn't have the eyes of seraph, enjoy this kind of thing. . .

The common man ate only rough bread made of barley, rye, or oats.

A far cry from what you might expect from a bread, these rough breads have no added yeast, so they're surprisingly firm when baked.

There are rumors that a piece of Imperial Bread can even pry open the armor of a Chaos Warrior, and stuffing it into the barrel of a tank can directly kill a Star Dragon.

So ordinary people often cut them into slices and use them as plates. The boiled thick soup is put on the bread spoon by spoon, and the bread is slightly softened while drinking the soup.

Of course, soaking the bread directly in the soup is the most common way Wende eats after time travelling.

Meat is expensive, so you can only eat beans and vegetables to ensure nutrition.

After talking about diet, let’s talk about daily life.

People used to sleep on beds made of straw, which should be a breeding ground for fleas and mosquitoes.

Every time before going to bed, Wende had to smoke the gadgets on the bed to death, so as not to be bitten all over when he woke up the next day.

As for women. . .
