Chapter 1281, Those Who Win the Hearts of the People Win the World

Coming out of the ground, the entire group was covered in all kinds of mud and foul-smelling dirt from the sewers. Except for the great alchemist Geert, who had the ability to keep the wind of metal around him, everyone was dressed in coquettish clothes. Especially the former little queen Alisara, she looked at her long rain boots covered with mud and Skaven feces with disgust and helplessness, the disgusting smell almost made Alisara faint on the spot, The little queen has been well-clothed and enjoying the best living environment since she was a child. Has she ever encountered such treatment?

However, Alisara can only admit that it is the most important thing to be with Frederick at this time.

"I'll go prepare." As soon as he came out, Gelt said to everyone, the great alchemist planned to give the Skaven a ruthless blow.

"Then I'll prepare too." Generalissimo Erstein nodded, "I want every man of the right age in Nuer to be ready to fight, even grooms and cooks, according to the current situation. See, the Skaven can strike anywhere."

"Then I'll go to the Krupp factory and see how they are preparing for Maybach." Frederick nodded, and Nuer's war machine is very important.

Ryan's eldest son, who was born and raised in Nuer since he was a child, is influenced by the atmosphere of Nuer, and has a bit of a "Puritan" taste. He has never touched his fiancée Noelle and the chief maid Alisa until now. Hey, both Emilia and Frey are thinking about getting married after the official marriage, and the official marriage obviously requires the presence of his father Ryan and godfather Karl Franz, so even though he is in his early 20s this year, the big wedding The ceremony was still delayed.

However, Frey is still very high in emotional intelligence and dealing with people. He first took Alisara and Noelle to find a nearby hotel to take a shower and change into clean clothes, and then rushed directly to Krupp factory.

The huge and magnificent Krupp factory is both a fortress and a labyrinth. As the largest and oldest weapons manufacturing factory in Nuer City, the entire factory area is as complex as a fortress. The solid brick walls hold a series of stone The factories, blacksmith shops, furnaces and warehouses are all separated from the manufacturing buildings, and they all surround the huge courtyard in the center-built as a weapon testing ground. The billowing smoke rises from the chimneys of the factory buildings, and the pungent smell is everywhere. The smell of blood, the sweat of workers, the smell of steel and the burnt smell of fire and gunpowder smoke.

Noelle is okay, Alisara still doesn't like this smell, the former little queen frowned, wrapped herself in a cloak, and took Frey's hand like a little bird, and followed behind the baron.

Frederick took a few deep breaths.

The baron likes this smell, steel, gunpowder, in the factory area, the workers are sweating hard, using their wisdom and strength, forging from the fire, fittings from the assembly line, and pouring hot steel from the steel furnace. Molten iron, forging and grinding parts are the pride of the Nuer people. Nuer rose because of the empire, and the empire was great because of Nuer.

Nuer's chief engineer, Maybach, is now in the factory building. He is making the final adjustments to the prototype steam tank of the Salvator. This old antique, as Nuer's pride and one of the last trump cards, is about to go into battle. See Frey Derek came, and the Maybach got off the Salvator, and said with a smile, "My Baron, why are you here?"

"How are the preparations going?" asked Frederick, and the baron was clearly interested.

"Ready to fight at any time, old man." Maybach reached out to touch the steel plate on the surface of the Salvator full of affection and affection, and touched the gold paint, skull, iron cross, and griffin patterns on it with his fingertips. Chief Nuer The Great Engineer even put his face on the surface of the Salvator, and he seemed to be feeling something.

A minute later, Maybach turned to Frederick and said: "I can feel that my old buddy is also eager to fight!"

You can still communicate with machine spirits, right?

A black line appeared on Frederick's forehead.

"We have successfully confirmed the figure of the Skaven." Frederick thought for a while: "At most one day, I want to see all the steam tanks, as well as land ships and Lady Emmanuel. The cruiser has been assembled and is leaving the workshop."

"No problem, we have been preparing for a long time." Maybach nodded, and the chief engineer personally stroked the steel plate of the Savior: "A total of 22 steam tanks, two land ships and the Baroness-class land cruiser are all ready, of which I must praise Lord Gelt. His newly invented power steam engine uses a metal that I have never seen before. It has super airtightness, ductility and durability, which has improved the power of our steam engine by more than one level. , now that the Salvator is equipped with a new power system, the power is very sufficient, even in the wild, it can reach 30 kilometers per hour."

"The tutor has always been good at technology research."

Frederick stayed at noon, and he took Alisara and Noelle to have lunch directly in the cafeteria of the Krupp Steel Company. After a quick lunch, the young baron stepped directly on the table: "Everyone! Listen up!"

The cafeteria fell silent, and thousands of Nuer's skilled workers all focused their attention on Frederick.

Our Baron! Nur's savior, a hero who played more than 100 games in 3 years!

The handsome and noble Frederick's facial features are closer to Emilia's, but his eyes are as deep as Ryan's and the psychic light is spinning. The baron stood on the dining table and said loudly: "Everyone, I must You all know that war is approaching!"

There was silence.

"I think you all know very well that the main force of the empire, the main force of our empire, has already suffered defeat in the north. Our mountains and rivers are broken and the wind and rain are precarious. Our cities and villages have been reduced to ashes. Our people are struggling on the verge of destruction!" Frederick yelled at more than a thousand skilled workers: "And we, Nuer, are about to face the biggest war since Tamu Khan, tell me, Nuer, are you afraid? "

"Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!" The workers in the cafeteria immediately clamored. We are proud Nuer people, we are the light on the pearl of the empire, what are we afraid of?

"Yes, we are not afraid, because there is still hope! Because we are still there!" Frederick tried hard to recall a series of pre-war speeches by his father Ryan, and pieced together his own words. He waved his fist and shouted: " Nuer, the last hope of the empire, the last fighters of the empire, we stand here now, we will prove that Nuer is the last hope of the empire, Nuer is the last salvation of the empire, Nuer is the last stubbornness of the empire, everyone, you Do you trust me? Do you trust each other?"

"We believe!" The workers were blushed by Frederick's words, yes, we are Nuer people, what an honor, what a great Nuer people!

"Whoever stands here today, men, women, children, or people of any blood or place, we will not stand alone. Today we will face the demons that invade our home. Today we will be here with anyone The enemies who are trying to attack the Pearl of the Empire will fight to the death, today, let us reverse the doomsday prophecy in the Book of Fate!" Frederick shouted: "Let me trust each other, look forward to the future, and for the Empire!"

There was applause in the cafeteria. If it was a fifty-year-old experienced nobleman who said this, the workers might not be so excited, but Frederick is only in his early twenties, and he has always been with the Nuer people.

In the afternoon, the steel company continued to work. Amidst the billowing smoke, the muskets, cannons, and war equipment that the empire depended on would continue to be produced to defend their country. The workers dispersed in an orderly manner and entered their posts. Use wisdom and hard work to compose the glory of the empire.

Frederick was not idle either, he rushed to the Black Tower Palace immediately after eating.

Surprisingly, the entire movement of troops did not cause panic among the citizens of Nuer. Instead, hundreds of people gathered in front of the baroness's palace.

They're here for the donations, Noor's war donations.

The dignitaries of Nuer, the officers of Nuer, the citizens of Nuer, and even the refugees who fled into the city from outside, they gathered together, saw the large-scale mobilization of troops in the city, and knew that a war was about to start , This will be a battle of survival for Nuer. Many of them have no way to participate in the war, but they want to dedicate their strength to Nuer.

This made the Blackstone guards guarding the gate for the Duchess of the Empire and the court finance minister appointed by Emilia very headache. The Wittelsbach family of Nuer dignitaries directly pulled 300 sets of finely crafted plate armor and 100,000 pieces from the family treasury. Goldmark, throw things away and run away, regardless of whether Emilia is willing to accept them or not.

Carloads of supplies and money were sent to the palace of the Countess, and many people blocked the street. People shouted the names of Emmanuel or Frederick, generously donated, and some donated tens of thousands of gold coins. , Donate a few silver coins.

A gray-haired, hunched old vegetable seller came in front of everyone. She tremblingly took out a cloth bag still warm from the burlap clothes. She gently opened the rough cloth on the spot, and put Holding a dozen or so copper coins whose edges were extremely worn and smooth, she stuffed the copper coins into the bureaucrat's hands, and the words she said made everyone present couldn't help but shed tears.

"You all know that I have no culture, no literacy, and I don't know that much. I only know that since the year before last, the situation has gotten worse and worse, and the harvest has been getting worse and worse. Beastmen, green skins, and other things are all over the place. The sky appeared in the wild, and those who killed us robbed us of food, and saw that we poor people could no longer survive, and there was no grain of barley in the house, and the bark and weeds were all eaten up."

"We old people, starved to death, eaten by beastmen, nothing, but my grandsons and granddaughters, one is five years old and the other is three years old, they are skinny, crying, rolling on the ground, I looked uncomfortable, but there was nothing I could do, I could only bite my fingers and let them drink my blood, pity my country, pity my family!"

"Fortunately, Charlemagne took pity on him. The Baron came. He led the soldiers to fight off the Beastmen. He led the soldiers to judge and execute the fleeing nobles and severely punish the cowards. We eat by mouthful, let us survive, he told us not to be afraid, we can always trust him, he will never give up on us."

"The Baron defeated the Greenskins, killed all the Beastmen, and personally brought talismans and medicines to cure us of the plague. He is in his twenties, and he is still a bachelor. He has fought countless battles in the past three years, so he is still unmarried. , he went out to live with those soldiers, stirred a spoon in a big pot, and even gave me his own rations after seeing that I had no children, and arranged accommodation for us miserable people, so that old women can be in the vegetable market Find a job selling and washing vegetables to support my family."

"This is the twelve copper coins I left over from selling vegetables. I know that this money is not much, and I also know that this money is nothing, but... this is the only thing I can do, please accept it... accept it Well, this is a little bit of my heart."

I don’t know how many of the Tyrells, Wessonlanders, Avilanders, and even Ricklanders on the street have the same experience as this old woman. They all shed hot tears. The state affairs are so difficult that only by uniting as one can we hold on to everything we have and tide over the difficulties together.

Soon, donors were no longer a matter for the nobles. Thousands of citizens gathered at the gate of the Black Tower Palace to donate generously. They swore an oath to live and die with Nur!

"Now I understand why the high elves have declined to this point." In the distance, Alisara, who was so moved, couldn't help wiping her tears with a silk scarf: "You will never see this scene in Lothern .”

"There is a way that those who win the hearts of the people win the world." Noelle said softly, and the Goddess of War recalled her experience of fighting for Tyrell and Estalia until she died and then became a god: "I will never regret falling into the dust. "あ奇奇小说蛧ヤ~7~1~7~(ωωω).qq7(1)

"The hymn of humanity is the hymn of courage." Frederick wiped away his tears with his hand. The baron looked at the mountain of gold and silver and sighed: "I'll go find my mother! Let her take that out!"

That afternoon, tens of thousands of elite field troops, including the Nur Iron Armored Army, Nur Blackstone Guards, Wesson's Black Rose Guard, Wesson's Star Tower Shooter Legion, Thor's Eldrad Guard and Red Shirts, More than a dozen knights, including the Knights of the Sun, stood on the large square at the entrance of the Black Tower Palace.

"Your Majesty, what do you want to do?"

"I don't know, there must be something important to announce."

"Hope is a good thing."

"The big battle is coming soon, and I can't wait."

In the square, everyone was discussing, and then as the gate opened, everything became silent.

Countess Emilia of the Empire walked in front wearing a crimson baroness dress, and the great recitation Casmir XI and Baron Frederick also walked on both sides in full formal attire. Hanging on a ten-meter-high flagpole.

This large flag is more than four meters long and two meters wide. Its pattern is a golden lion with a black frame and a red background. There is a double-tailed comet pattern on the top of the lion's head, and a familiar name is written in blood on it.

The Savior - Ludwig.

"This is... the battle flag of His Majesty the Savior of the World!" Generalissimo Erstein of Nur was the first to roar, and the Generalissimo was so frightened that he immediately knelt down on his knees and couldn't help sobbing: "It's really the Savior of the World!" The battle flag! Your Excellency Ludwig, Nur is still here, and we are still here!"

Jubal Falk, commander of the Nuer Armored Army, burst into tears: "Great savior, I know you have never forgotten the Nuer people, you are our pride! You will always be with us!"

"I can feel the strength on the battle flag, Savior! You are finally back, join us in the bloody battlefield again!" Justice Nur Kneeling heavily, he choked up: "Savior Save the empire, save your people."

The legendary military flag reappeared in the world after hundreds of years, and the tens of thousands of troops on the grand square were so excited that they could hardly breathe.

One hundred and eighty years ago, during the great holy war, half of the empire fell, everything was bleak, the old world seemed doomed to destruction, all hope was dead, the emperor of the empire had died in battle, and the chaos army was raging in the empire. Even Nur, who is known as the pearl of the empire, The Khorne sect smashed, looted and burned, the Tzeentch sect took to the streets, the Slaanesh sect spread fear and chaos everywhere, and the Nurgle sect emphasized that "Charlemagne is dead", and believing in a loving father is the future.

Just then, a twin-tailed comet streaked across the sky.

From the Nuer countryside came a combat priest who made his famous speech to the Nuer people.

"Empires! Unite!"

The glorious and magnificent prologue kicked off, and the panicked army, panicked citizens, and fanatical priests were united under this banner, following the saviors all the way from one side of the empire to the other, until the evil was broken, Chaos fled, and the Griffin Battle Banner, stained with the blood of the Great Demon, stood on the ice field of Kislev.

He is the emperor who came out of Nur, he is the pride of Nur, and the source of the greatest sense of identity for the Nur people to the empire. To some extent, he changed Nur, he changed the empire, and the new empire is in Rising from the ruins of the old empire, he led the post-war reconstruction reform and established a new system. He drove the Chaos Beastmen into the forest. His era was the best era. As long as everyone works hard, everyone has a chance. As long as the future is bright, many are nostalgic for the great savior and his fifty years of golden reign.

Steel, gunpowder, faith.

When this battle flag appeared, everything boiled over.

The grand epic of the Great Jihad is destined to be repeated.

The empire will not die, and Nur will not die!

The battle flag was handed over to Frederick, and the baron proudly raised the battle flag of the Savior, pointing directly at the sky.

"Soldiers, I, Frederick, your baron is going to shoot rats today. Who else is there? Who wants to come with me?"

What responded to Frederick was a roar that shook the whole city.

At the same time, after hearing Frederick's roar, the great alchemist Gelt couldn't help but smile on the face behind the mask.

Thousands of tons of smoking industrial wastewater followed Gelt's great spell and turned into a hot metal torrent rushing down from the sewer, and then the embankment was opened, and the water from the Wessen River and the Aiwei River was directly poured into Nur In the sewer, the unprepared Skaven arsenal, hundreds of dimensional stone bombs, countless war equipment, and suture monsters rushed into pieces and shattered.

Thus began the defense of Nur.
