The Lion King of Middenland, Warhammer

() The funeral of Marshal Marius was magnificent. The empress and the electors personally lifted his coffin and placed it on the oak-framed copper-rimmed gun mount of a salamander cannon—that was him and Julian After raising the military flag, Julian seized it from a small lord with a warhammer in his hand.That was the first cannon under the eagle banner, and their soldiers were only 500 at that time.The cannon mount was made by the marshal and the soldiers, and the bronze eagle emblem on it was carved by Julian's wife, the current empress dowager. This cannon has witnessed the heroic rebirth of the empire in the past 27 years. The road itself is a line of history.

At the funeral, the Queen bestowed the title of Holy Marshal to Marshal Marius posthumously, which was the only title given to the former de facto regent of the empire.For unknown reasons, whether it was in Julian's era or the Queen's era, Marshal Marius stubbornly refused the title and territory of nobility. He claimed that he would always be the son of a peasant, and he liked this identity.

So in order to respect the marshal's last wish, the queen did not bestow the title of Marshal Earl or Elector, but a higher existence --- the only holy marshal of the empire, and the eternal holy marshal!His name is engraved on the cover of the Imperial Code of the Holy Army, his portrait flies on the ribbon of every imperial standard, and in the Great Sanctuary his bronze statue stands side by side with that of Emperor Julian, which does not describe Instead of an epic on the battlefield, it describes the moment when they returned from their adventures—the moment when 20-year-old Julian and 17-year-old Mario returned to Rickland.Because that's how it all started.

In the next 200 years, Marius' career was written in countless books, and Marius' name became the legend of the empire until today.And the military law scriptures he left behind are necessary for imperial officials and nobles to understand.Although the countries of Tyrell belong to foreign countries with stronger dictatorship, in any case, the supreme head of state of Tyrell is still the emperor of the empire.

And, more importantly——after joining the Holy War, anyone and any force in the Jihad army must obey the command of the emperor and commander of the empire. In the Jihad army, one order is unshakable!This is also the reason why Director Yujian was disturbed by the words of the imperial supply officer.

"I am trusted by His Majesty the Emperor and the Privy Council of the Royal Court, and I am the Chief Supply Officer of the Great Holy War Expeditionary Army. This royal emerald griffin badge represents the majesty of the imperial court and my responsibilities. In the general base of this army, I It has the right to exercise the Holy Military Code of the Empire against those who willfully violate the imperial discipline. Since Marshal San Marius, this has been the rule of the imperial court and the great holy war."

The baggage officer raised his royal emerald griffin badge, which was a two-inch square light green griffin embossed surrounded by a golden border, exuding a magical aura.This small badge is of great significance. In fact, it represents the majesty and system of the Sigmar Empire's army. In the Great Expeditionary Army, only the rank of quasi-marshal and above can have it.In any case, the big supply officer is the person who manages the entire logistics work of the [-] imperial expeditionary troops on the front line, and his status is by no means as ordinary as his usual gentle appearance.

"Articles 16 to [-] of Chapter No. [-] of the Imperial Holy Army Code stipulate that during the Great Holy War, those who actively attack fellow soldiers in the holy war army who cause no harm or disorder shall be whipped; Whoever riots or suffers minor injuries to those attacked shall be whipped and then sent to the punishment death squad; whoever causes more than five people to riot or is seriously injured or killed by the attacker shall be sentenced to death!"

The voice of the big baggage officer was cold, and it hit everyone like a sharp sword. A slight commotion erupted from the ranks of Tyrell soldiers, and many Kislev soldiers also let out soft exclamations.Everyone knows what kind of injury the armor was hit by the wrought iron fusion spell at zero distance. Could it be that the princess of Tyrell will suffer a devastating misfortune?

"Your Excellency, the Great Supply Officer, please..."

Miss Grisha hurriedly rushed to the baggage officer to raise an objection. As an ally that received assistance from the empire, she did not want the empire to lose any combat power meaninglessly, let alone see an internal strife.The unprecedented battle to rescue the capital of Kislev is about to start, and any combat power is precious.

"Honorable Lord Grisha, Kislev is an ally of the Empire, and we have always respected His Majesty the Tsar. But the internal affairs of the Imperial Holy War Expeditionary Force cannot allow others to interfere, and I have my own opinions!"

The white-robed old man interrupted the ice mage's intercession without hesitation, his face became as severe as an iceberg.In this situation, the old officer named Cicero began to grasp the hilt of his sword, and at the same time winked at the party next to him---the young princess named Catherine, and Tyrell's soldiers also began to move forward. Slowly approaching, the situation became tense.

"Your Excellency the Chief of Transport, I am absolutely unwilling to pursue the sister I met for the first time because of my small trauma. If so, my mother's spirit in heaven will not forgive me. Moreover, I am also responsible for this incident, I also foolishly wounded my companion Fleur, if you want to punish, please punish me as well!"

But Hyde stood up abruptly. He bowed deeply to the baggage officer, and then expressed his opinion. Because of his excitement, the young man's breathing became rapid.His eyes looked into the eyes of the big baggage officer, and he saw many elusive things in the old man's deep eyes, but his intuition told him that the big baggage officer would not be an unreasonable person.

"Forget it! The citizens of Tubalo cannot bear such disgrace, and I will never cowardly hide behind my brother! I, Catherine Veronica, still have this courage, because Vero of Tyril The Nika family has never produced cowards! Since I foolishly hurt people, and since I voluntarily joined the imperial court's great holy war, I am willing to accept the emperor's legal code!"

Unexpectedly, the golden-armored girl Catherine, who had just stood there like a deflated balloon, suddenly mustered up her courage after a moment of silence, took a few steps forward, and shouted out her responsibility.Surprised screams suddenly sounded from all directions, and the image of this beautiful metal-type battle mage became much taller in the hearts of onlookers.

"Whether the Military Code condemns me to death or to a penal camp, I will not run away! Because I will not dishonor the glory of Tubaro!"

Catherine tried hard to squeeze out these words from her teeth, she bit her lips tightly, raised her plump breasts high, folded her arms and waited for the possible fate.Although her slender legs were trembling a little, her beautiful face deliberately showed an indifferent attitude.At this moment, her crimson curly hair was flying in the cold wind, and there was a kind of courage burning in her big brown and black eyes. Combined with her shining golden armor and white skin, she showed a special beauty.

"Your Excellency, the Great Supply Officer, it is time to employ people. The decisive battle to save the capital is about to start. Any combat power is very precious, let alone a metal-type battle mage who is very rare in the north. I respect you very much. The majesty of the emperor's law, but I hope to intercede for Tubalo's little princess, not to deal with her too harshly. I use my general's reputation to guarantee that there will be no more infighting, and let our swords only swing against chaos! "

The governor of Kharkov who has been silent all this time --- Grisha's brother, Kislev General Ushakov also joined the ranks of intercession. This noble officer who is as tall and fat as his sister took off his hat, Kislev's military salute to the Grand Baggage Officer.He is Kislev's top officer here at present, and his words carry weight.This may be the reason why he saw that Catherine finally had the courage to stand up and take responsibility. Mrs. Kisley has always admired the brave and despised the cowards the most. Only those with courage will be valued by these soldiers of the ice and snow kingdom.

"Yes, Your Excellency, please forgive Your Highness Catherine!"

Seizing this opportunity, Cicero made a gesture, and then led all the Tyrell soldiers to bow and apologize.At the same time they took off their hats and helms, and brought down their spears and muskets, with a sound like rolling thunder.And old Loren and Fleur also joined their ranks at the right time, and then Ushakov's subordinate officers also responded to their general's opinion, so the voices of pleas rose and fell like sea waves, almost covering everything .

"His Excellency General Ushakov, since you have made such a sincere suggestion to me, I can accept it. The imperial law also stipulates that if the parties forgive each other, the incident can be dealt with lightly."

The grim baggage officer took off his hat and saluted Ushakov. He put away the emerald griffin badge, twirled his long beard, and said his sentence in a cold but not harsh voice.

"Considering that Your Excellency Hyde has forgiven the other party, and this serious injury can be recovered under my healing technique. Then, according to the second article, Catherine will be removed from the post of officer to offset her due whipping. During the Great Holy War, she She will be sent to the Punishment Squad, and now there are only some cavalry and archers in Kharkov’s Punishment Squad, and it happens that they also need a mage. After the Holy War is over, she can go back to Tyril freely.”

The voice of the chief supply officer was calm, but the treatment seemed to be harsher than expected.This result made Miss Grisha heave a sigh of relief, but the faces of the officers and soldiers of Tubaro Duchy turned black, and many spears stood up unconsciously, and the hand of Director Yujian grabbed the hilt of the sword, On the other hand, Catherine raised her head proudly, without saying a word, she just drew her feet in small circles fiercely on the ground.

"Dear Your Excellency, the Great Baggage Officer, I think this treatment is too severe. After all, I also attacked Your Excellency Catherine, and I also injured my companion Fleur. If you must punish my sister, please I was also sent to a punishment camp, because this is what is considered legal justice."

Hyde took the words of the chief baggage officer without hesitation, his voice was as firm as steel.This young man has already made up his mind, no matter what, he will help his cousin who accidentally injured him. No matter what, she is his mother's close relative, and he almost hurt her. Thinking of the moment when his mother saved his soul, Hyde's voice couldn't help but a little bit Excited.

"Your behavior is exactly as I expected. You are indeed the person that Grund's beloved granddaughter Greenhill can fancy!"

Unexpectedly, the heavy-bearded and white-robed baggage officer suddenly smiled at Hyde, like the cloudy clouds in the sky parting to reveal the sun.This made the Tyrells see the light of hope, and the hand of Director Yu Jian was separated from the hilt. Catherine was a little surprised, and she couldn't help but tilt her head to look at her handsome cousin.

"A responsible man can take on a great responsibility. I can accept your opinion, not because you are guilty, but because the officers of the disciplinary death squads have historically been filled by innocent and good officers. Sinners need a hero to guide them To win, and you are the right man, there is no one more suitable than you."

The answer of the big supply officer was astonishing, which made the surrounding soldiers and officers tremble.He didn't wait for Hyde's answer, but directly put the hand that exudes the shining Salya seal on Hyde's chest. Hyde clearly felt the huge vitality and healing power flowing through his wound. It was amazing magic. Fluctuating, the necrosis will fall off, the skin will be regenerated, and all traces of pain will be removed like a tide.

"From now on, you will be in charge of Kharkov's disciplinary death squad, and your sister will serve as your personal attendant. I can completely heal your wounds today, and tomorrow, you will be the fourth disciplinary brigade of the Imperial Army." Acting captain. The sinners' swords are not dull, but I want you to forge them into truly shining blades!"
