Warhammer Throne

Vol 5 Chapter 1224: , Defending the golden fortress

Von-Zhukov Castle was razed to the ground during the Mottkin invasion in 2515 of the Imperial calendar, and everyone was massacred.

After Mortkin committed suicide, the Osters slowly but firmly rebuilt the castle. They united in the elector Vamier von Zhukov and the elector’s first heir Vasily. Under the command of von Zhukov, the castle of von Zhukov reappeared in the territory of Auster.

Thanks to Wolfenberg’s gold mine, where the steady stream of gold has made Auster’s finances never faced a financial crisis. The stubbornness and pride of the people here makes the Auster people know that it’s hard for the people and there is not much practical benefit. But it still needs to be rebuilt, even if the ashes in the tombs of the electors’ ancestors here have been lifted by Mottkin, even if the castle no longer has the prosperity and population of the past, the Osters still have to do it.

The great alchemist Baiershaze-Geert, the peak powerhouse of the sanctuary, the royal chief great wizard of the empire and the highest grandmaster (principal) of the Royal Wizarding Academy, he is looking at the expression of the emperor, of course the great alchemist will not let The emperor could see that he was pretending to be observing the magnificent decorations in the von Zhukov castle.

Emperor Karl-Franz walked around the room in strides, his brows furrowed, he seemed to be thinking about a very difficult question, and Gelt was not in a hurry. The great alchemist used this method to learn from the emperor. His hands regained the dominance of the conversation.

"I know what you mean, Gelt." For a long time, the emperor's voice sounded: "You mean, your guarantee is not very time-sensitive, because belief in the Great Wall is your temporary solution? Your magic to yourself Confident, but not sure how long it can last?"

"That's what I meant, Your Majesty, if at that time..." Gelt's voice was a little relieved, as if he was happy because the emperor understood his words, but the great alchemist didn't notice it. The tone pierced Karl Franz's heart, and the emperor's expression became a little unhappy. He immediately made a gesture for Gelt to shut up!

Galt stopped immediately. The great alchemist could feel the emperor’s mood changed. Yeah, this is a dark age. Even the greatest politician of the empire and the great prince of Rick have a monopoly. Karl Franz, the leader of the Frederick family of three generations of the imperial throne, lost his composure.

"I know you want to talk about Archbishop Vekmar." The emperor said impatiently: "He did attack in a hurry, but Aiqing, I must remind you that Vekmar is dead and he has been reckless for himself. After paying the price, there are some things I don’t want to mention again. This makes me feel very unhappy. Do you understand what I mean?"

Gelt was silent. Perhaps other wizards would not understand the emperor's actions, but the Great Alchemist was not among them.

Why can't we revisit Vicma's old things and his recklessness?

The reason is simple. Without Vicma, there would be no current Emperor Karl-Franz. If the archbishop had not dropped three votes at the critical moment to help the emperor turn the tide, then it would be Boris Toddbringer standing here now. .

If Vikmar's fault is to be liquidated, those who have the intention will certainly liquidate it to the emperor.

It turns out that as long as you die, you can escape all responsibilities and be free from any punishment, but the living people have to be blamed and questioned for every mistake?

The great alchemist felt very painful, believing in the Great Wall and the Golden Fortress, he has given everything to the empire.

He seemed to realize that this was unfair to Gelt. The emperor made a slight concession. Instead of asking Gelt about his belief in the Great Wall, he focused his attention on the letter, except for the commandment that Ryan said he could not help. In addition, there are letters from the dwarves. The High King and the Butcher King are in great trouble. The Kurgans and Chaos dwarves from the other side of the Roof Mountains of the World are attacking the Dwarves’ fortresses, and they cannot help.

"This is a new logistic form, Aiqing, the bureaucrats in the rear have been complaining." The emperor said to Gelt: "The food and drink expenses of hundreds of thousands of people have been mobilized from the major provinces of the empire, and it can be dealt with from the beginning. , But we can’t always go on like this. Maybe some cities and provinces, such as Brunswick, such as Nur, such as my Rickling and Marius’ Ivyling, can hold on, but what about Steerling? What about the Ostmark collar? Furthermore, the transportation loss is getting higher and higher, from 15% at the beginning to 23% afterwards, and now the transportation loss is approaching 36%."

"There is no reason." Of course, the great alchemist knows the tricks: "Your majesty, your bureaucrats must know where these ‘disappeared’ materials and supplies have gone."

"But this is the necessary lubrication of the entire system, Ai Qing." The emperor smiled bitterly: "Are you planning to drop the hundreds of thousands of Chaos Army across the Golden Fortress, as many as the crucian carp across the river, against the bureaucracy?"

Gelt said nothing, why didn't the great alchemist know the internal crisis?

Among other things, after seeing Gelt build a golden fortress and create a great miracle, the great wizards of the Imperial Royal Wizarding Academy admired his magic skills on the one hand, but on the other hand they also envy and hate him, such as It is said that Greg Matak, the supreme dean of the Amber Academy, doubted the source of Gelt’s great miracle more than once, while the other sanctuary great wizard Cernus Gehrman left the Golden Fortress directly. Whereabouts.

The many crises pressed Gelt himself almost out of breath, and more importantly, as he told Emperor Karl-Franz, the Golden Fortress is not perfect-it is unstable, from Erlengra Going to the Jakova Fortress in the Roof of the World, within dozens of ritual circles, a large number of wizards and priests are required to perform rituals and maintenance continuously. This is a very hard and torturous job, and people have mental breakdowns every day. Falling down, even so, the ritual is not invulnerable, because the chaos of Chaos Wind and the inevitable mistakes in casting spells, the golden fortress often has gaps.

How could Chaos let go of such a good opportunity? Thousands of scouts of Echarn, Keron-Conqueror, are constantly observing any situation along the Golden Fortress, and as long as there is a loophole, they will immediately launch a full-line attack.

At this time, the imperial army must close the gap until the wizards and priests recast the walls of the Golden Fortress.

Every time such an encounter, the empire will kill one or two hundred people, and the chaos will cause more.

The only comfort is that in the face of such a difficult situation, the empire is united and everyone knows the severity of the crisis.

The eastern section of the Golden Fortress was handed over to the Elector Wolfram Hertwig of Ostermark, who commanded the war well, he was picky and refined in details, and he was also brave. Elector of Ostermark, it was his duty to guard the border of Ostermark.

The middle section was handed over to Edbrand Ludenhoff, the Elector of Hawke. Although he belongs to Hawke’s army, there are no more than 10,000 men, and more soldiers come from other provinces in the Empire. However, Edbrand Not long ago, he made a famous victory and smashed Velic-the cursed and defeated the army of the cursed. There is no dispute about his position as the coach.

The western section is in charge of Oster Elector Vamier von Zhukov and Grand Duke Olengrad Vladimir, who are old rivals to Chaos.

Emperor Karl-Franz led the main force of the empire, the Franz Guards Corps, and the Royal Guard at the Von-Zhukov Castle, ready to support the front lines.

It seems that the situation has stabilized, but this is a respite based on the empire's continuous casualties and costs.

"Gellt, you are the chief royal wizard I appointed, right?" Karl Franz asked.

"Of course he is." Gelt was very hesitant in his heart. He had had the opportunity to confess his particularity several times, but he had missed it. He just had the opportunity to say that he had also missed it.

"Secretary Gelt, I am asking you this question with inner pain. I hope you will answer it honestly as a glorious citizen of the Empire. Can we defend the Golden Fortress?"

"I'm sure we can hold on, my sire." Gelt said without hesitation: "The Golden Fortress has proven its power."

"Then the question is, first of all, how long can we last according to this consumption?" The emperor then asked: "Second, even if we expect to last for a long time, how can we win?"

Gelt was taken aback. It was not that the chief royal wizard had not considered this issue, but when maintaining the golden fortress had consumed most of his magic and energy, he subconsciously did not think about such long-term issues.

But... just don't think about it? Or... there is no answer at all?

Gelt was silent for a long time, and the great alchemist considered his answer. If he answered the truth, that is, he also knew that the empire could not last forever and could not find a way to reverse it, then it would be incompetent and the emperor would not need it. Such an incompetent chief royal wizard, perhaps he will lose his dream position.

But being strong does not seem to be a reasonable choice. It also means deception. It is obviously impossible to deceive such a great politician of Karl Franz.

Fortunately, just when Gelt hesitated to answer this question, an emergency military arrived outside.

Aodefen’s golden fortress was broken!

Our allies are under attack. Elector Wolfram Hertwig is leading the army and they need support.

The emperor was forced to stop his questioning. Karl Franz subconsciously wanted to squeeze the imperial hammer, but Gael Malaz was not in his hand, so he could only say: "Gelter Qing, I can only count on you at this time, lead your Thor army, hurry up to the gap and repair the golden fortress!"

"Understand!" Gelt felt relieved, and the great alchemist walked out quickly and disappeared outside the hall of Von Zhukov Castle.

When the chief royal wizard arrived on the front line with his beloved Pegasus Xunyin, the situation had been corrupted to an unbelievable point. The empire’s defenders were collapsing, and there was a large gap in the golden fortress. Within a few kilometers, the north What the Chaos Barbarians saw was a large stretch of smooth roads. Hundreds of imperial soldiers had fallen in a pool of blood, and tens of thousands of Chaos tribes were quickly stepping through the gap and invading the empire.

The Yankees, who are as many as the crucian carp across the river, crossed the gap at a crazy speed. The sky is full of black smoke, and the terrible plague is spreading into the territory of the empire as the Yankees go south, and the doctors and priests of the empire have nothing to do ——Salia, the goddess of mercy, seems to have disappeared. Without the help of the gods, Salia’s nuns and doctors were unable to fight the spreading plague by themselves. More and more Imperial soldiers became sick, died in torture or were forced to amputate their limbs. Gelt glanced at several reports, and their content made him frightened-about one-tenth to two-tenths of the soldiers were infected with Nurgle's plague to varying degrees.

However, this is not the thing that frightens Galt the most. What frightens him most is that as a flying unit and the great wizard at the peak of the sanctuary, Galt saw it on his way. He saw a team of tens of thousands. The human Sylvanian army-living and dead. The commander is a demigod vampire with elegant manners, noble and calm gestures, and hundreds of blood knights around him, Hundreds of black knights and thousands of grave guards.

Large groups of mortal auxiliary troops followed in the army of the undead army. They shivered, but they still held muskets and crossbows, and it seemed that they were all voluntary.

The demigod vampire noticed Galt, and he even used the ancient etiquette to give Galt in the air a perfect and impeccable noble greeting.

Gelt suddenly felt cold all over, the great alchemist understood a fact, he lied-Sylvania was not in the cage, and the terrible undead had escaped. If this truth was revealed to everyone in the empire, then He Gelt will lose everything, including the respected position, the worship of the empire and his reputation.

The emperor is on, what should I do? Gelt could not help but stretched out his hand to press on the cover of "The Emperor's Words 3.0" on his waist. There were blessings personally bestowed by the emperor. In this extremely dark age, this book is the only thing that supports Gelt. Things that crash.

The battle at Aodefen’s gap was extremely fierce. Elector Hertwig personally led his army to fight fiercely with the Chaos Army. The leader of the Chaos Army was Fiestak Krone. This Nurgle champion was the first group to lead his followers. One of the warlords who went south to Kislev, his slaughter on the steppe would only increase his position in the eyes of Nurgle. When the golden barrier collapsed in front of him, Kron was convinced that his moment had finally arrived, and without hesitation he led his war gang over the fallen stone and rushed to glory.

Kron's command consists of more than one hundred war gangs. To make matters worse, Galt found many Chaos demons in it. At least three teams of Nurgle demons are following the decaying tribe.

Things are always getting worse. When Gelt first came to the northern front line, he would only see sporadic chaos demons in the barbarian team. However, over time, the number of chaos demons changed from one to two, Two or three to five, six, seven or eight, and now we can see the Chaos Demon in the form of squads and battle gangs, and the time that they can exist in the mortal world is getting longer and longer. If someone tells Gelt that it will soon The entire Chaos Demon Legion with established system appeared on the battlefield, and Gelt wouldn't feel the slightest strangeness.

Ignoring the imperial defenders and the Chaos tribe who were fighting, Galt came to the ceremony site. He found that the wizards and priests responsible for maintaining the ceremony were all fallen in a pool of blood. They were killed by mysterious forces. The great alchemist determined To repair the Golden Fortress at all costs, he began to cast spells.

The great alchemist poured all his magic power into the ceremony, and at the same time he divided his attention to watch the battle. When he saw the Elector Hertwig personally led the eternal light knights and the Aodefen cavalry into When the rotten tribe was in the army, Gelt yelled at Hertwig as a stupid man. He should delay the time to repair the wall instead of charging fearlessly, which would cost his life!

Sure enough, the Elector Hertwig got into trouble after the heroic charge. The presence of a group of Nurgle Warriors with heavy armor resisted the charge of the knights, and the Elector fell into a fight and finally met After the Nurgle champion Krone, the two sides had a championship duel. The brave Elector Hertwig died in a glorious battle. Krone wanted to show off his victory, but the Nurgle champion quickly understood why Ostmark’s The Rune Fang is called the Troll Scavenger-the wound caused by this sword cannot heal, and the Champion of Nurgle also falls.

"No! Don't die!" Gelt could only stare at everything in front of him in pain.

Just when the imperial front was about to collapse, Watten led Charlemagne's army to appear. This unparalleled warrior, the advent of the champion of Charlemagne's pick, greatly inspired the morale of the imperial army and reorganized the army.

But victory did not come so easily. With the violent chaotic wind and the smelly garden scene connecting with the mortal world, an entire army of Nurgle Demon Army was thrown into the mortal world by the fat grandfather, and it came across its own opponent in Wushuang Wuteng. ——Nurg Mogulug-As, the current sixth greatest demon under the Nurg seat.

Watten tried to quickly defeat the powerful enemy in front of him, but the Great Demon Nurgle could not be defeated at will, even though the power of Gal-Malazi overwhelmed the rusty sword and plague chains in the hands of the Great Demon, the Great Demon Nurgle His body was burned to black due to the sacred power of the twin-tailed comet. Guluq-As was still stunned, shouting in the name of his father to fight with Woten.

Watten can fight against the Great Demon of Nurgle, but the imperial army behind him can't. The brave imperial soldiers and the demons of Nurgle are fighting hard, their bodies are eroded by the plague, they vomit yellow bile, and their hands are corroded. With their bones exposed, their eyes liquefied in the thick yellow-green mist and slipped from their eye sockets.

Unable to withstand it, the imperial army was being defeated, and Gelt closed his eyes in pain.

Lost, lost thoroughly, the Golden Fortress is over.

"No, the empire is not over." The icy voice with absolute pride rose from the other side of the horizon, the dark sky enveloped the entire sky, the sound of ancient horns, and the ancient flavors of Rick. Of drums.

Von Kastein’s red-bottomed black bat banner rose slowly. Demigod, Death Maharaja, Lord of Sylvania, Vlad von Kastein watched the soldiers of the Empire fighting bravely. Can't help but nod and applaud.

"The living can't stand it anymore. Now, it's my turn to play Sylvania."

"Blood knight, drive the enemy out of our country!"

"For Isabella, for Silvania, for von Kastein!"
