Warhammer Throne

Chapter 696: , The emperors

()

ps: Today's first, I saw many people saying that the previous chapter was very watery, saying that I was perfunctory and coping. What I want to say is that yesterday in order to add more, I went back to the dormitory in the evening and started to write the second one until eleven o'clock. Finally, I finished the second one, and I will write the one today. I could n’t open my eyes, but in order to keep changing or dragging, I insisted that I finish writing today ’s first change at 2:30 in the morning. Furthermore, I planned to write such a content very early. For a long time, I read a lot of hookups and newsletters, and checked a lot of information. I do n’t appreciate it. I understand that I am a little bit watery. I also admit that I know it is relatively watery, but if I really perfunctory readers or have a bad attitude, I Yesterday I will desperately write the second more?

In the future, it will be a little less thankless, and it will be tired and uncomfortable to sit for a long time.

In any case, add another chapter today, Tianzi apologizes here.

............ I am the dividing line between the text and ps ............

A melancholic face, wearing an extravagant Electorate dress, with a lot of gold and silver jewelry hanging on his body, wearing colorful hats and feathers, the Electorate about 40 years old stood in front of Lane, his The face is arrogant and harsh. The silk coat is embroidered with golden sun and golden wool patterns. Obviously, this is the family coat of arms of the Tuscan electorate family. Two swords are hung from his waist. Long Sword is the Imperial Elector Hou Shengjian, and a short sword is a dwarf rune-enchanted silver short sword. He is very handsome, but the melancholy expression and the stiff poker face destroy his facial features.

"Let me introduce, this is the new Tuscan elector and the Duke of Ivy and the Count of Ivyheim, Marius Leitdorf." The emperor patted Marius with a smile Shoulder: "The last choice of emperor, Umberto Corleone finally decided to retire after serving as the Tuscan elector for two hundred years. Marius is his fifth son, a legendary peak. The strong man, when competing for the rank of emperor in the family, defeated all competitors with the double swords in his hand, and stood out. I think you will have a lot of exchanges. Marius is the most determined in our family. The friendly relationship between political allies and military partners, Rick and Ivy can be traced back to two thousand years ago, the noble friendship between Charlemagne and the early Tuscan elector Hsigurd. "

"It's an honor to meet you, His Excellency Ryan Macado." Marius squeezed out a smile: "If there is a chance, I must ask you about swordsmanship."

"Welcome at any time." Ryan reached out and shook Marius, and the Crown Prince of Brittany hesitated a little: "Crazy ... Earl?"

"Hahaha ~" The emperor couldn't help laughing when he heard the word Mad Earl. Marius didn't respond. He replied stiffly: "They asked for it."

Ryan certainly knows Marius, and of course he is concerned about the change of the electorate in the empire. After Marius-Lettdorf was elected as the first heir to the electorate, the first thing was to declare that Mutter ’s leadership Ivy led merchants to impose high "calf tax."

What is calf tax?

In the halfling's homeland, the Mutling collar, in order to protect the halfling's interests and prevent humans from occupying the halfling's homeland excessively, the halfling will levy a "calf tax" on the people entering the Mutling collar, that is, people with a height of more than one meter If you want to enter a halfling town, you must pay a huge tax. This tax was originally intended to protect the Mutan territory, the largest granary in the empire, from being re-infiltrated by humans and taken back to the territory.

It is well known that no matter how good the starting point of a tax is, as long as there is no follow-up and supervision, it will eventually become a tool for the ruling class to accumulate wealth. As the halflings continue to increase the calf tax, Aiwei leads this grain-producing province and empire One of the wealthiest provinces can't stand it anymore. The first thing Marius was chosen as heir is to lead the expeditionary troops unique to the Golden Wool Knights, the Black Bear Knights, and Ivy, toward the Mut The halfling declared war and asked the other party to lower the calf tax.

As a result, the halfling did not know where to get a steam tank that was originally scrapped. They added a trailer to the back of the steam tank, and installed the famous halfling crucible behind the tank. Relying on this steam tank, the halfling After a battle with Marius on the border, Emperor Karl Franz went out to mediate, and Avi and Mute signed an agreement. The halfling lowered the calf tax and Marius withdrew his troops.

Relying on this unexpected and frantic screaming, personal charge on the battlefield, brutal manners and a bad sense of humor, Marius-Lettdorf received the nickname "Crazy Earl".

Incidentally, the brother of Marius-Lettdorf is Hans-Letterdorf, the head of the Knights Templar mentioned above, and Alfred's boss.

As for how this scrapped steam tank came from ... Ryan thought it must have nothing to do with Emilia.

No way, during the previous invasion of Tamu Khan, Ivy led the army to keep the Black Fire Pass and did not participate. The emperor also fought in the chaotic gang of the Hawk collar and the brass fortress. At this time, the two sides have had a lot of friction, hostility, and the relationship has declined.

After introducing Marius, another very strong, bear-like middle-aged man stood in front of Ryan. He was wearing a bearskin coat and a lake green cloak. After the cloak, the big man with sea boat and wind and wave patterns also appeared. By the emperor's side, his hair and beard were already pale, and there were a lot of wrinkles in the corners of his eyes, and he kept a long goatee hanging down to his stomach. He was like a real northern warrior, stubborn, tenacious, warlike and fierce.

"This one, I think you may have met, Theodoric Gesell, the current Grand Duke of Nord, the sovereign of the Kingdom of Nord, the Baron of Sesmond, the fear of Noska You have all made great achievements in the process of fighting against the invasion of Nosca. Perhaps you are also very topical. "The emperor took the wine glass.

"I met him." Theodoric Gesell (to prevent confusion with Duke of Theodore, later collectively known as Geisel) has a very rough voice, he is not young: "Ryan, who was just a ranger knight at that time, wandered around Nord to find opportunities for promotion."

"Is His Majesty Harald's body okay?" Ryan picked up his glass and clink Geisel. If His Majesty Harald is no longer good, the Empire will have one more Sanctuary strongman who can hold the court.

"The great-grandfather is old and unable to deal with internal affairs. He is almost three hundred years old this year." Gesell's voice was impatient: "He is retired, and now it is our young people's turn."

Ryan thought you were over fifty this year, right? Is this still young?

However, the powerful in this world do have a longer life, and whether they are the emperor of the empire or the Duke of Brittania, when he chooses his heirs, he also pays more attention to strength. After all, heirs need to live long enough to make the territory stable.

By the way, Geisel's daughter, Anne Taylis, is the wife of Boris Todd Bullinger.

Geisel, like his great-grandfather Harald-Frank, was a ruler who was very obsessed with territories and particularly liked to falsify claims. After he took the election of the emperor, he publicly claimed that he inherited Marienburg from his great-grandfather. The prince ’s title, of course, immediately announced a statement from the Mariinburg City Council, listing Geisel as an unwelcome target for Marienburg.

"It seems that you are familiar with each other." The emperor was a little surprised, he smiled heartily: "Are I a little presumptuous?"

"No, it's an honour, Carl, you actually brought such a luxurious tour group this time." Ryan felt the cold wind blowing through his body at night. His attitude was very friendly: "I thought you would come, but I didn't expect ... you This brought half of the empire. "

"No, it's an empire." Marius raised an index finger and pointed to the emperor: "He is the empire."

This untimely joke made Ryan sniff, and made the whole atmosphere instantly embarrassing. Karl Franz laughed twice, really didn't know what to say, Gesell snorted from his nostrils, mouth There was a "boring Yankee" mumble, and he walked away with the glass.

"........." The awkward atmosphere lasted for ten seconds. Carl Franz and Ryan look at me, I look at you, and they don't know how to take this, Marius's untimely humor to himself Unconscious, and did not intend to speak out to resolve embarrassment.

"Okay, Ryan, I heard that you have hired a team of sea spirit guards from Elengrad from Kislov through the relationship of the President of the Estalian Merchants Union Amancio, tell me, what are you How could it be done? "After thinking for a while, the emperor decided to digress, and he shrugged, pretending to be relaxed:" Can you communicate? "

"Come with me, I'll show you something." Lane motioned the emperor to follow him. Carl and Marius looked at each other and immediately followed.

The three men came to a small room inside the palace. Ryan carefully opened a large gold box with five white enamel outer layers and gold eggs made of gold: "Look, Carl."

"This is ... Faberge eggs ?!" Karl Franz and Marius both grew their mouths in surprise: "This ... isn't this Kislov's national treasure? God, Ryan, how are you? Did you get it ?! "

Ryan smiled and opened the first egg. Inside the egg was a tiny golden hen. There was also a mini crown made of diamonds and a miniature egg made of rubies in the belly of the golden hen. The skill of forging made everyone amazed. Only Karl Franz ’s royal treasure house had the same colored eggs. It was a national gift from the Kingdom of Kislov to the emperor. As a symbol of friendship, every Faberge egg is different. And there is a powerful protective magic sealed inside, which can be used repeatedly.

"How to get it, some people need money, some people need things, some people have channels, that's how they got it." Ryan looked at the five Faberge eggs with satisfaction, he said with a smile: "Amancio has a way, as long as With enough money, Kislov is now in urgent need of funds to pay pensions and rebuild the army that suffered heavy losses. His Majesty Katalina ’s magic research also requires a lot of expenses. The Kingdom ca n’t provide so much tax, and the unfinished finances need money to fill it. This is how Easter eggs came from, and so did the Sea Soul Guard. Some things we could n’t do on the surface, but privately, the Tsar ’s royal family was willing to transfer their national treasures, as long as the price was right, there was nothing to sell, Amancio had a list in his hand . "

"Oh! Charlemagne is on, Helena will like this." Karl Franz understood, and the emperor smiled more happily: "Helena will like this, I want to tell Amancio, let him also give I'm the whole one. "

"I want one too, no, two!" Marius' eyes were bright, and only five eggs remained in the eyes of Mad Earl. Ryan thought that this was something I would give to the lady and Surya, and What did you have to do, so Ryan immediately closed the treasure chest again, and the three came out of the room. The emperor thought about it and asked tentatively: "So, you expedite the expedition to Bafeng Mountain for its endless wealth?"

"The Cavaliers' expedition always needs a reason." Lane did not answer Karl Franz's question directly: "King Bellega has a good reason and has helped us a lot."

"Blackheart Rep is the frontier prince you supported?" Marius asked quite directly: "I heard his name more than once in Ivyn. He seems to have a stable and sufficient source of troops, and he can always get a lot from Haimenguan. The mercenary leader ca n’t do it without the support of others. He already owns three towns and a dozen villages, and has more than 3,000 swords. "

"Letterbird? Maybe, who knows?" Ryan said paradoxically: "He may also come this time after he is enthroned. Can you ask him?"

Speaking of which ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ The emperor and Marius knew it. Karl-Franz thought a little, thinking that the empire had no energy to manage the princes at the border. He laughed a few times and stopped. A Midden man in a fur coat and a felt hat said to Ryan: "Yes, Ryan, I almost forgot. I will introduce you to an imperial hero, my left arm and right arm this time. "

"Marshal Empire Hunter, Marcus Wolfhart!"

Just as the lively state banquet and reception were held in the Royal Palace of Curona, under the dark night sky, another group of visitors also approached the capital of the Knights Kingdom along the ancient road.

Duke Schultz, the Grand Duke of Marienburg, led his own guard and the elite pioneers of Mariinburgh, the "Passenger", along the Korona road to the suburbs of Korona.

Ten years of time does not seem to leave any marks on Vanderbilt-Schultz. He took a few very tall people and looked at the glory on a small hill in the Curona wilderness. In the city that is welcoming the emperor today, Kurona is brightly lit, like a civilized lighthouse, illuminating the nearby dark plains.

"Your Majesty, several Excellencies, we are here."

"well."
