Warhammer Throne

? It was a week later when Lane and others set foot on the empire.

The ocean-going ship arrived at Marienburg and stopped. Ryan and Tagris and his party did not stop at Marienburg, but continued to march along the Rick River. Tagris hurriedly and the high-precision ambassador in Ififet After seeing each other, Ryan was interested in chatting with Grand Duke Schultz of Marienburg, but when he saw Tagris, he just left after saying hello.

When they arrived in the border city of Kalcat, Marienburg and Rick, the imperial emperor Karl Franz had led the Rick Guards and the Braunschweig Swordsmen, Kalundborg Swordsmen, and Many troops in the capital awaited the arrival of Tigris, and the Empire expressed its warmest welcome to Tigris and paid the highest standard of courtesy to thank Tigris for everything he did for the Empire in the Great Jihad. At the same time, the Empire He also welcomed the accompanying Ryan. This Brittany star is rising very fast. He has a deep relationship with the empire. Killing Egir benefits both the west and the north of the empire. This makes the empire take advantage. All have a good face for him.

Although Ryan felt that there might be a lot of fear in it, the power of Ryan also made the Empire feel daunted.

A group of people stayed in Calcat for the time being. Karl Franz had arranged the hotel and the vacant land in the town for the high elves to camp, and Tagris and Ryan and others all stayed in the hotel.

The spacious suites in the spacious hotel are luxuriously decorated, clean and tidy. Theresa and Veronica are pretty good. They are not new to the empire, but Surya is curious about many things. The female knight opens the window of the hotel. From the top of the five-story building, a prosperous and messy town with vitality and chaos appeared in front of the female knight.

Empire towns are not like Britannia. Breton towns are often built around castles. Lord nobles will plan the towns vigorously, but in the empire it is not the case. Empire towns are often developed by villages. As a result, local nobles prefer to live in villas and mansions on the corners of towns, and even build castles outside the city to live.

Kalcat is a town of 5,000 people. Although it has not reached the city scale, it is also very close. It is full of merchants from Marienburg or other imperial provinces. The land is fertile and the trade is prosperous. Carter-sized cities and towns are dotted within the Rick collar. As the most prosperous, cultural and powerful province of the empire, the Rick collar has a population of nearly five million, almost equivalent to 80% of Brittany. The total population of the Carl Franz family gave Rick the most powerful army in the empire. This is also a few of the empire's relatively stable and few provinces facing war.

The other two territories are the Avi Domain in the east and the Wissen Domain in the south.

Ryan embraced his wife from behind, buried her head between her golden hair, breathing the fragrance of the knight, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong? Suria, curious about the empire?"

The female knight held Ryan's big hand: "Yes, the Empire ... is not the same as Brittania. It is more dynamic and energetic, and many residents like to walk with their heads raised."

"Shall we go around the street?" Ryan was also very interested. On the way to the city, he saw at least many guilds, boatman's guild, blacksmith's guild, dock workers' guild, doctor's guild, as well as the church of justice, the church of life, the church of goddess of mercy Even though it is already midwinter, the street is still very lively.

"Well, won't you be late for the dinner?" The knight is obviously very moved, but she still needs to be reserved.

"No, we will turn around and come back later." Ryan continued to seduce.

"Then ... okay." Surya agreed, and Emperor Karl-Franz would entertain them in the evening. The time is now in the afternoon, and they still have a lot of time at their disposal.

So twenty minutes later, Ryan took Surya and her maid Silvia to hang out on the street. The streets of the empire were dirty and chaotic. Both the people and the house gave people a kind of old and dirty I feel that the buildings on the roadside are old and new. Humans are wearing thick cloaks, breathing cold, doing business and livelihood. There are many idlers on the street. Many small citizens and idlers see the beautiful female knights. Whistling gracefully.

Many great swordsmen and knights on the street are patrolling. This is obviously because of the emperor ’s presence. The officials appointed by the lord are collecting taxes from house to house. Their attitude is rude and arrogant. Many patrol soldiers of the lord are also on the street. Going, they present two extremes to people. They are humble and flattering to patrol soldiers because of the emperor ’s great swordsmen and imperial knights. They are fierce and overbearing to those civilians and soldiers. They are looking for reasons and excuses for fines. These Money generally does not leave their pockets.

This is different from Brittania. Ryan took Sulia's hand and followed Silvia complaining: "Miss, the people here are really annoying, are they all like the Empire?"

"Don't underestimate the imperial people, these people just whistle again and again, just look at your lady." Lane said with a smile: "They are all smart, and Surya's dress will know that it is a big noble, they can't mess with it Up. "

"So what if I'm dressed in a simple style?" Surya wore a standard Breton marquise dress with a fox fur coat outside, but just changed the mopping skirt to a more convenient walk Over the knee skirt and high-heeled boots, the female knight is beautiful, with a heroic look, plus a big noble costume, with the holy knight badge on his chest, everyone knows that they are not easy to mess with.

"Then they should come out and talk up." Lane smiled: "Imperial people don't care about this."

Suria no longer said more, she heard her father said that the empire is different.

After the great jihad 160 years ago, the savior Ludwig declared publicly: "Everyone has the right to be paid for his labor."

The order of the savior opened a new era of the empire. In the southern part of the empire, especially the three richest provinces of Rick, Wissen, and Avi, farmers plowed their own land. Or the electorate pays taxes, and the remaining products can be sold on their own, in exchange for a large amount of income, and the accumulation of wealth. The local lords can only tax from their sales. When the emperor or the electorate needs new recruits, these farmers are all The best source of soldiers, they long for war, so that they have the opportunity to take the first step towards the nobility.

But in the northern part of the empire, the situation is no different from that of Brittany. The peasants are forced to hand over most of the harvest, so they also desire war because they can eat their stomachs.

But in any case, a country, a nation, a faith, all imperial people are proud of their country.

There are many beggars and tramps on the street. They beg around: "Sir, okay, I haven't eaten in three days. I only need a few copper coins, just a few. I really can't do one ... The bakery is cleaning up the old goods. You can give me a meal by giving me a copper coin, and Ms. Saliya will bless you. "

Suria couldn't bear to see it. She had never seen so many beggars. In Brittania, the serf was the property of the lord, so no beggars would appear, but it was different in the empire.

Freedom comes at a price.

Lane stopped Surya from asking Silvia to take out a copper coin: "My wife, you can't help everyone."

"But ..." The kind horsewoman is still a little unbearable.

"Your Excellency Makado is right, Your Excellency Marquise, you don't have to sympathize with these people." At this time, a mature male voice came from one side, surrounded by a dozen Rick guards, dressed in casual clothes The imperial emperor Karl Franz approached with a smile, and the emperor's flag officer Ludwig Schwartzhammer followed him, with a warm and sincere smile on his face: "Everywhere in town In recruiting workers, even the lowest-paid manure cleaners, bone pickers, and scavengers earn enough money to fill their stomachs. Do n’t encourage them to get something for nothing. ”

"Hello, Your Majesty Franz." Ryan straightened his body and took the initiative to reach out to the emperor.

Rick guards were heavily armed. They were a little dissatisfied with the slightly rude behavior of Ryan, but they did not say anything after thinking about the great achievements of the people in front of them. They just calmly guarded the emperor in the middle.

Karkat is full of patrolling imperial knights and great swordsmen, so there is no need to worry about security. Ryan thought that Emperor Karl-Franz might agree with his own ideas and walked out.

The strength of ordinary imperial knights is slightly stronger than that of Brittany, but much weaker than kingdom knights. Due to the wealth and population of Rick collars, there are more than a dozen knights in a single collar, thousands of smaller knight.

"Hello, Lord Ryan, Mrs. Suria, haha ​​~ You are like me, walking down the street?" Sure enough, the emperor took the initiative to hold hands with Ryan, his face always with a smile on his face: "Welcome to Rick collar, the most powerful, oldest and wealthiest province in the empire is also my hometown. "

Lane thought that the oldest identities should be Midden collar and Tarabek collar, but he had no intention of correcting.

"It's a rich and beautiful land." Suria also reached out and shook hands with Emperor Karl Franz. The emperor raised the knight's hand by about two centimeters, which was considered a kiss. "Welcome, welcome, I want to wish you a happy wedding. "

"Your Majesty is so free?" Ryan is now a nobleman of Brittania, but he has a deep relationship with the empire. After a little thought, he still paid respect to the emperor.

After saluting, Rick Guards looked a lot better.

"Everything is arranged by hand, so even though my flag officer Ludwig disagrees, I decided to go shopping." The emperor smiled and patted Ryan's arm: "Just, Ms. Lake's Is the God Champion interested in going around the street with me? "

The flag officer behind the emperor, Ludwig, hummed unhappily, and seemed very dissatisfied with the emperor's reckless behavior.

"Of course." This was an invitation that was difficult to refuse, and Ryan had to agree.

So the three became a group of people. The emperor went to the market to check the prices, and discussed with Ryan the fluctuations in the price curve of food and iron, and how **** the Marienburg merchants had affected the prices, and what happened recently thing.

Neither Emperor Karl nor Lane tacitly mentioned the intention of Tagris.

Turning around the corner, a mercenary guild appeared in front of everyone. A huge corpse at the guild's door aroused the interest of Ryan and Emperor Karl.

It was the corpse of a cyclops. It was placed high above the door of the mercenary guild using wood. A lance with a broken lance pierced into the giant cyclops of the cyclops. In addition to this fatal blow, the cyclops There are dozens of terrible wounds on the giant's body, each with bones visible.

This corpse shows that humanity has once again won the war against evil.

"I don't know which warrior is doing such a feat? If I can see him, I will reward him well." Emperor Karl walked directly into the mercenary guild, holding the banner officer, Ludwig Grid quickly went to the front and protected the emperor behind him.

"Let's go, let's go in and have a look too." Ryan took Suria's hand, and some memories flashed on his face: "When I was a ranger knight and kingdom knight, I often came to the mercenary guild to see it. Are there any tasks that can be taken. "

"Are you going to take the task now?" The knight smiled with interest.

"It depends on whether they can afford my appearance fee, hehe." Ryan laughed, his identity is not what he used to be, it is no longer possible to take tasks as before, and others can't afford his commission. As the magical champion of the fairy in the lake, he is already an earl, and his appearance fee is already high, and it must be approved by Mogianna and even the fairy in the lake.

After entering the guild, a quarrel broke into the ears of the Ryans and Emperor Karl. The Rick guards subconsciously held the sword handles around their waists. These Rick guards had the right to kill any dangerous elements on the spot. .

"Head Boris! Obviously you haven't figured out the situation! It's already a lot to kill a group of robbers and give you five gold marks! Don't be greedy!" Inside the guild hall ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ a guild job The staff impatiently said to a group of mercenaries: "You don't want to do it. Naturally, some people are willing to take this job! Get away if you don't want to do it!"

"But ... sir, your price is too low. According to your information, this is a group of armed thieves, not only with shields and axes, but also with two crossbows, and too few gold marks. Right? "The visitor was arguing with the front desk behind the bar:" Either ... Eight? It really doesn't matter if seven. "

"Five Gold Marks are still too few? Did you see the Cyclops outside? The Lord Expedition Knight, called Karad, solved it alone, and only asked for 30 Gold Marks, and he solved it alone. The entire Goblin tribe only received twenty gold marks. You country folks from the north have no strength, so do n’t blame us for giving us less money! ”The front desk staff yelled rather impolitely:“ I do n’t want to accept Just leave, nobody forces you to do it. "

There are about thirty or forty people in this group of mercenaries, and a mercenary flag with a bloodied axe floats among the crowd.

Lane smiled, acquaintance: "Your Majesty, I know them."

"That's a coincidence." Emperor Karl nodded with a smile, and he motioned to Rick to guard his weapons.

Ryan stepped forward alone and took a picture behind the big man who was arguing with the mercenary front desk.

"Hey, head Boris, deputy head Wilt, we meet again."

"Lei ... Lord Earl?"
