Chapter 577, Felix of Steel

PS: I've been a little stuck recently, sorry for the late update.

PS2: I will ask for a day off tomorrow to sort out my thoughts!

Kislev, the northernmost force of order in the Old World, is known as the "Shield of Civilization". They migrated here from the Kurgan Grassland about a thousand years ago, and established this land in an ice field and desert. The kingdom of ice and snow.

Since its establishment, Kislev has faced the threat of chaos. Because of this, the entire country is always under the background of high pressure and militarism. Except for the nobles, few civilians in Kislev can truly achieve " Even so, this country and its people still stand in the northernmost part of the old world.

The courage of this country and its people in the face of hardship is as terrifying as chaos.

After the Great Holy War, Kislev was re-established, and the empire also sent more troops to assist Kislev in guarding the northern border. Both the Osterland and the Ostermark Alliance have close ties with Kislev. As long as there is a change in the Chaos forces in the north, the two imperial provinces will immediately reinforce them. The great pressure Kislev faces makes the peasants willing to endure some extra taxes and collections, as long as the kingdom's defense can be strengthened. , Similarly, the huge military pressure also means that Kislev's noble "Boyars" will consciously cancel some excessive and unpopular taxes to ensure that the living standards of local residents and their troops will not be too bad. , The empire also often supports Kislev with food and other supplies.

"Southerners look down on us and think we are a bunch of savages, not much different from those savages, but you should feel lucky! If it weren't for us, the northern savages would burn your homes and drag your children out of bed Go! Without us, you will always face the erosion of chaos! Do you look down on us? You should thank us!"

——Marshal Konev Kislev

In Kislev, there are three armies that claim to be the most elite ace troops. They are the Kerim Guards who are responsible for defending the capital of Kislev, the Kislev Royal Bear Cavalry blessed by the bear god Ursun, and the world-renowned The Kislev Hussars of the Old World.

The original intention of the establishment of the Hussars Legion was to allow Kislev to have a strong heavy cavalry unit. Therefore, all noble families in Kislev were required to send at least one adult male cavalry. These noble cavalry were assembled to form The Hussars Legion, their fighting will is fanatical, and they burst into the enemy's formation with wings or flags and howled fearfully like a whirlwind, and the unique tactic of the Hussars is to suddenly turn the whole team to attack, which makes many armies be defeated at once. Destroyed, with their illustrious military exploits, the hussars quickly became famous throughout the old world.

When it was first established, there were about 2,000 members of the Hussars Legion. Today, after nearly two hundred years of development, the Hussars Legion has a size of about 4,000-4,400 people.

So can Kislev afford this heavy cavalry unit?

Obviously, the answer is that they can’t afford it. Therefore, since the establishment of the Hussars Legion, except for the port city of Erengrad, which can support 200-300 Hussars, most of the Hussars have been used as mercenaries by the Empire. Earn maintenance fees for yourself.

"Felix Edmundovich, former General of the Kislev Hussars 'Dzerzhin' Legion, he has made great military exploits, made great contributions in a series of battles, and also participated in the former Tsar Boris Bokaha In the "Great Cleansing" campaign, in the war, Felix was determined and tenacious in fighting style. He alone led the hussars under his command to wipe out the chaotic remnants and barbarian looters lurking in the Kislev wilderness. Orcs, greenskins, and beastmen, he fought day and night, chasing his foes until dark, and at dawn the next day he was on his horse and ready to fight on."

"In this way, Felix fought hard for three months, and finally completely wiped out all the enemies in the troll kingdom north of the Linsk River. People gave him the nickname 'Felix of Steel'!" Amancio introduced this in a loud voice. A former general Kislev, the chairman even stood up on his own initiative: "I firmly believe that General Felix and his hussars brigade will definitely be able to help you, Your Excellency Fulgan!"

"Hello, General Felix." Fulgan always respected this kind of tenacious soldier, he also stood up, and seriously looked at General Kislev, who looked only in his forties. paid tribute.

Felix was wearing a standard Kislev military cap. Wearing such a fluffy military cap in such a hot weather looked a little funny. The general carefully identified the tall man in front of him who was a little The handsome man who looked like a barbarian, after confirming that there was no hypocrisy or ridicule in the eyes of the other party, nodded politely: "Hello, and please don't call me general, I have been expelled from the country by His Majesty Katarin I am no longer Kislev's general!"

"No, you will always be a general. Your flaming eyes, your iron will, your firm military posture, and your subconscious movements all tell everyone that you are still a general." Forgan Seriously shook hands with Felix: "Can you tell us what happened? Why did the female president... the king actually deport you?"

"Because the Hussars are the Sword of the Kingdom and the Wings of Liberty, not the Sword of the Tsar or the Wings of the Bokaha Royal Family!" Felix's expression was as hard as steel, and as stubborn as a stone in a latrine: "This has already It's the third time I've been exiled! But I won't regret it!"

"Please take a seat." The big businessman Amancio motioned for Felix to take a seat. With an understanding smile on his face, the big businessman stood up and signaled the hussar general to take a seat, and then greeted the waiter, "Bring that up! "

"Yes!" The waiter went down, and soon, they brought out a special kind of food.

At first glance, what was served was ordinary bread, but the bread was surprisingly big, with a diameter of nearly 30 centimeters and a weight of two catties. It was packed in a large cloth bag, Amancio said with a smile : "General Felix, try it. I don't know your taste, but I can guarantee that it is definitely the original taste."

"This is... Lieba?!" The hussar general's eyes widened, and he checked carefully: "This is the real Lieba! It's still the big Lieba!"

Being able to eat food from his hometown, this steely general finally squeezed out a smile.

"That's right, I imported it from Erlengrad, I hope you like it." Amancio said to Fulgen, Hadrian and the others: "Please try it too, Kislev's special food Bar."

Everyone continued to eat.

Fulgan maintained his state of eating gracefully, while listening to Felix's story, understanding why he was expelled, and why this illustrious hussars general was reduced to being expelled from the country and stripped of his title of general.

The hussars were doomed to not get enough military pay since their birth. The meager salaries and supplies that the tsarist royal family could issue could not even maintain equipment and horses. Therefore, hussars often used 300-500 cavalry as a brigade, As a mercenary in the old world, earn maintenance fees for yourself.

All the hussars have one marshal and several generals. Although in theory the marshal commands all the hussars, in fact the marshal only commands the most elite hussars, the "Griffin Legion", because Budyonny, the marshal of the hussars at the time, was the most elite hussar in the world. The Edge Mountains got their name from a single griffin that they used to adorn their wings with its feathers.

The current Marshal of the Hussars is called Romanov, a legendary peak knight, and the Griffin Legion is currently under the command of Emperor Karl Franz, fighting as a mercenary.

All the hussars made an oath that as long as the Kislev Kingdom was in crisis, they would return to Kislev and fight to defend the kingdom. proud of the sword.

But that's where the contradictions come from.

"The hussars have always had a glorious and long tradition of independence. We are the sword of the kingdom, not the sword of the tsar. But since the death of Red-Eyed Egil, the military pressure from the barbarians has dropped a lot, so His Majesty Katarin brought up the old story again." Felix ate Leba, his voice was a little hoarse: "She hopes to return the hussars to the control of the Tsar's royal family. She promised to treat us well, but this is not what we want."

"Your allegiance is to Kislev, not the royal family of Bokaha." Fulgan immediately understood the reason for Felix's deportation.

"We are only willing to fight against evil, and we will not attack our own people." Felix nodded, and sighed, "Because I am the most resolute in my opposition, this is the third time I have been deported. "

"What if the kingdom is in danger?" Fulgrim asked calmly.

"Then I will go back to Kislev again, with my hussars!" Felix's voice was as hard as a rock on the permafrost in the north: "Kislev will fight evil to the last moment, Till the last breath of Kislev's last child!"

"Very good!" Fulgan nodded, and his last doubts were eliminated: "So, what are your conditions?"

This is where the price tag starts.

Fulgrim needs a strong heavy cavalry unit, which is very much needed. If Felix and his 300 winged cavalry can be hired, it will be a great supplement to the Legion of Ashes, because apart from a small number of lizardmen Given the Cold One, the Legion of Ashes has been plagued by a lack of cavalry.

"The conditions have always been as normal, but... I have a request." Felix was a little embarrassed, he is a soldier, and for a soldier, asking for help is really not a very pleasant thing: "Your Excellency Fulgan, I heard that you and Duke Musillon, Ryan Malcador are brothers?"

"That's right, we are brothers." Fulgrim nodded. He didn't intend to hide this point, and he planned to stay in Estalia and Tyrell for another month at most, and then he would immediately go to Braun Litania.

"The thing is, Lord Fulgan, I have a group of special prisoners who have been deported and a group of war orphans, hoping to be taken in and sheltered." Felix pleaded in a low voice: "We don't have the ability to resettle so many Man, Mr. Amancio can't help us, so I need your help."

Kislev is indeed a very magical place, where it is already a tradition to deport and exile "special prisoners". Ashamed to shake hands with the tsar's personal guard Klimt,

"How many?" Fulgrim asked.

"Probably... more than a thousand, they are all victims of persecution in the country, and there are war orphans. Kislev has no ability to support them. We can't find a way in the empire. I need your help. I can assure you , none of them are criminals, they just...have different views." Felix said seriously: "Recently, Musillon is recruiting, can you introduce us?"

"If there is no problem after inspection, I will consider it." Forgan did not immediately agree, and he did not even make a promise: "Besides, what else?"

"No more." Felix shook his head.

"When will you and your hussars join us?" Fulgan then asked the question he was most concerned about.

"As long as these people are properly settled, I and the 315 hussars under my command can join you immediately." Felix stood up and saluted a standard military salute: "You can identify by yourself, I No matter what, I just hope that you will treat them well."

"I'm not talking about hiring, but joining." Forgan's voice was light and ethereal.

"I'm also talking about joining, Your Excellency Fulgan, I think what you need is also joining." Felix's eyes sunken, and the former general took off his hat. There is wisdom in the sunken eyes, and a certain power that will never let him succumb: "Can you accept it?"

"Then... happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

When the two hands are held together, it is considered an agreement.

Sitting down again, Fulgan was satisfied with the result. The fighting power of the hussars was well-known throughout the old world. Now with the help of this army, the fighting power of the Legion of Ashes is bound to rise to a higher level.

"Mr. Amancio, are there any mercenaries in Estalia that are worth hiring?" After the conditions were negotiated, Fulgan then asked Amancio: "I still need a stronger immediate combat force, money not a problem."

"No more." Amancio shook his head with a wry smile: "This is Estalia, Your Excellency Fulgrim, we don't have a particularly strong army, you should go to Tyrell."

"Tyrell?" Fulgrim was slightly disappointed, but the Primarch, the Emperor's Son, was always able to control his emotions perfectly: "I don't know how many troops are willing to go on an expedition with me in the land of mercenaries?"

"A major event happened in Tyrell recently. The famous Prince Miragliano, the 'Besieger' Pogil, was assassinated in the famous Great Bath." Amancio nodded, and he took out a list: "Therefore , several legendary mercenaries have lost their employers."

"Leopold the Cheetah's Hoplites, the Leopards."

"Miragliano's Marksmen."

"Dwarf Butcher Chief Dron Butcher Chapter."

"And the famous Bronzino Rapid Riding Artillery Regiment."

Fulgan took the list, and he nodded with satisfaction. These troops are all mercenaries who are famous in the old world. If they can concentrate the strength of these people, they may be able to fight the Skaven.

"But I solemnly recommend these two teams." Amancio handed over a new list, and a smile appeared on the face of the big businessman.

"From the halfling harpies from Mootland, and... the mysterious Arabian lamp magician!"

……… I am the dividing line that can only grant three wishes………

At the same time, in the old world, above the black mountains.

Angron was flying here on his Hippogryph Nukelia, and the king was clearly in a good mood.

"My nephew is about to be born. As an uncle, I can't be empty-handed."
