Chapter 1299, the Military Discussion that Determines the Fate of the Empire

The meeting hall of Ludwig the Savior is located in the center of the Imperial Palace. At the highest point of the main hall of the Imperial Palace, the granite and obsidian walls quarried from the Roof of the World are covered with dozens of coats of arms and murals, which record the history of the empire. Innumerable great wars have been fought in the past, and the coat of arms of double-headed eagles, griffins and skull crosses is branded on the broad marble floor. Eighteen giant columns with golden rings and silver rings stand among them, topping the meeting hall golden dome.

The murals on the dome depict those epic human stories, telling the heroes who died heroically in the history of the empire, and the niches record the birth and death dates, history and great achievements of the heroes.

In addition to Charlemagne, who was holding a magic hammer and showing off his muscular body, the statue of Ludwig, the savior of the world, is also located in the middle of the meeting hall, behind the emperor's throne, and is made of a whole piece of obsidian sculpture. Cheng, six meters tall.

Compared with Charlemagne, who did not hesitate to show his bravery from time to time, the savior Ludwig is not an emperor who likes to fight in person. Although he is also very powerful, the two founding emperors are considered equally great, but Ludwig Xi Duo appeared as a wise and wise ruler and a military strategist in the central army. He was as serious and resolute as he used to be in life, just silently watching the people who were arguing in the parliament.

Everyone in the parliament hall was dressed in fine clothes, and the hem of their gowns made of silk and the best silk cloth hung down to the ground. However, compared to the past when the empire was at its peak, most of the seats were empty, and even the seats that should have been seated were empty. Most of the positions of dozens of imperial generals and councilors are also vacant, and what is here now is only the silhouette of the former glory.

The debate in the parliament has been going on for a while, and obviously they can't draw any conclusions. As the new chief wizard Greg Mattak opened the door with two attendants, all the people inside looked at Appointed the new chief wizard of the imperial royal family.

Then they seemed to think that he was some other irrelevant person, and continued to chat.

"No one understands Chaos better than I do," said the Grand Duke of Nord and Elector Theodoric Geisel gruffly. The face of the long green cloak is covered with white mane like a lion, and the goatee hangs on his old wrinkled face. weak.

Compared with the other two electors present, Mattak admired Geisel the most, because he was more like a warrior and general, and the empire didn't need so many politicians and politicians at this time.

It's a pity that although Geisel has the loudest voice, he is not the one who speaks the loudest.

"Oh? Really? Since you understand chaos so well, why do you look like a lost dog now?" A female voice full of sarcasm and disdain sounded.

After talking about all the electors, Matak hates this woman the most, Emmanuel-von-Lebowitz-Bernardino, the Grand Duchess of Wissen, the Duchess of Nuer, the elector, she wears She wore an unbelievably silver-gray gown with gorgeous strings of pearls hanging from it, and her golden hair was coiled up high, forming an extremely gorgeous lady's hairstyle.

A pair of champagne-colored high heels with stiletto skull crystal patterns and a pair of tight beautiful legs wrapped in smooth and opaque black velvet pantyhose made her slightly delicate figure straight, exuding a noble, elegant and charming atmosphere.

Mattak could smell the perfume on her body from twenty or thirty meters away,

It was the typical smell of cornflowers and irises, as well as the wood elf lipstick and cosmetics on her face. Mattak didn't know why this fifty-year-old, who only had the face of a legendary junior elector Not only was there no creases, wrinkles, or age spots on her face, but her oval face was as delicate as a cardamom girl, but Mattak just hated her.

Especially her aggressive attitude: "It's almost done, Geisel, tell me this again if you hold Winter City."

Emmanuel's voice was not loud, but everyone present felt tremendous pressure. This pressure did not come from the Duchess of the Empire herself, but from the group of generals in black and black armor standing behind her.

Generalissimo Erstein and other six Nuer generals stood behind her. The aura exuded by these people was frightening, and the army in their hands made everyone in the parliament hall fearful. 50,000 Nuer The Nur Field Army is now outside the city, 500 Blackstone Guards, and 300 Nur Iron Armored Army are just outside the gate of the palace. These troops are 50 times more than the remaining standing army in Brunswick!

Do you see, we Nuer are reasoning with you. JPG.

"Okay, Mom, everyone is discussing things." If anyone can appease Emmanuel's arrogance, it is undoubtedly standing behind her, wearing a full set of Dwarf Seiko Grande Master Full Body Rune Plate Frederick is now. After being tempered by blood and fire, Frederick is becoming more and more like a real man and warrior. He beckoned his mother to stay calm. A maid in black and white A girl in a beret with short silver-gray hair and a beret was holding his arm.

At last someone made sense, thought Mattak, who he knew was the son of the Lady of the Empire and the Sun King.

The tiger father has no dogs and sons.

The Battle of Nuer and the Battle of Borni were played very beautifully. Mattak read the battle report on the road, and he appreciated Frey's decisiveness, bravery, and strategic and tactical level.

"Nord cannot stand against the landing of Chaos, for I am not aided by any army, Middenheim, Talabheim, Brunswick, and even Nur, while you are at peace, we are All of this was achieved through a bloody battle against the Yankees." Elector Geisel first tried to overwhelm Emmanuel's voice, but when he saw General Nuer with uneasy expressions, Geisel's voice suddenly became quieter Going down, he muttered: "The Nords have paid too much."

Geyser is now down to one detachment of Nord Royal Guards and two detachments of Nord Marines, the last of his army, with fewer than 400 men left.

"Don't we Stiles pay enough? We almost helped you limit the terror in Sylvania by ourselves!"

The one who spoke was Graf Alberich Haute-Andersen, the Grand Duke and Elector of Steele. He wore an unpretentious army green coat, a simple woolen sweater, and cowhide military boots. , he looks like a redneck.

Unfortunately, Steele Land has also fallen, and this time it is not Chaos, but vampires. Vlad, the Lord of Death, believes that in the face of Chaos' attack, it is necessary to "keep the enemy out of the country" and "prioritize ensuring that Sylvania As a result, they sent troops to attack Steele Land. The Steele Land of Hout-Anderson was already poor and difficult. Facing Vlad’s attack, they could not resist Vlad’s attack. They could only flee with a small group of attendants. The territory of Steele fell.

However, Vlad did not pursue, and even ordered Gul and Akhan, who had already surrounded Hout-Anderson, to "raise a hand", and Anderson and several attendants escaped.

"On my own?" Emmanuel repeated: "Are you sure? Then why are you here? Graff?"

Hout Anderson's face turned red immediately, but he knew very well that he couldn't defeat Vlad's undead Scourge, so he could only remain silent. Seeing that the two electors were looking at him, he could only defend weakly in the end : "It's not that we don't work hard, it's because the enemy is too strong."

"You look at the statue, look at the statue of the Savior and say it again?" Geisel finally found a soft persimmon.

Hout-Anderson stopped talking. He was not an excellent general. He was just a lord who had fought for the well-being of the Steelers all his life.

Greg Matak, the chief wizard of the Imperial Royal Family, looked at all this with interest, and he could feel that everyone's attitude was different.

Thinking he could still be useful, Geisel was trying to reclaim his glory.

Anderson grasped at straws, thinking he might still have a chance.

Emmanuel, this dangerous woman is obviously planning to get involved in the supreme power of the empire, but the army under her is very likely to be the last hope of the empire.

Thinking of this, Mattak couldn't help feeling deeply sad.

There were no heroes at the time, which made Shu Zi famous!

Where have all the great names of the empire gone?

Karl Franz, Helberg, Schwarzhammer? Fallen on the northern front, missing, probably dead.

Archbishop Vikmar? Grand Master of the Knights Templar, Hans Reitdorf?

Disappeared in Sylvania.

Great Alchemist Gelt? He was exiled, and now he can only hide in Solland.

Ivan the Griffin Duke? Elector Marius? It is said that they encountered the Beastmen in the Drakewald Forest and had to divert.

The debate among the electors made the scene as noisy as a vegetable market, and Matak felt deep sorrow in his heart. Even at this time, the electors were still fighting for power and making a lot of noise.

Geisel tried to prove that he was still an excellent general and applied to lead his own army. The military power in troubled times was overwhelming, and Geisel knew that no plutocrats could defeat warlords at this time.

Anderson is testing how much grain reserves there are in the city. Antiques from prosperous times and golden grains from troubled times. If you have food and money, you are the grass head king. He is trying to get his hands into logistics and reserves, and he is indeed an expert in this field.

The most troublesome thing is Emmanuel, a woman who clearly recognizes how much power she has - her field army of 50,000 Nuer is so deadly that Matak is worried whether she really understands the power she has, The 50,000 Nuer army is well-equipped, well-trained, high-moralized and only obeys her and her son's orders. She just hasn't made up her mind yet.

Finally, Hans Zentler, the head of the Rick Knights, opened his mouth to smooth things over: "Everyone, everyone, please be patient, I want to introduce to you, this is our empire's new chief royal wizard." , Honorable Supreme Dean of Amber Academy, Greg Mattak! Welcome, everyone!"

"..." There was sparse applause in the parliament hall.

Geisel muttered: "When will the military and political affairs of the empire be decided by wizards?"

Anderson put on a smiling face: "Please advise, Your Excellency Mattak, we need your wisdom."

Emmanuel frowned, and looked at Mattak with a bit of disgust. The Queen of the Empire obviously had a good relationship with Gelt: "I don't recognize the chief wizard who was appointed without a duel. Anyway... hello, Ma Dean Tucker, what's your opinion?"

"Bailshazer Gelt is the chief wizard of the royal family, and I am a professional bird breeder who sleeps in a stable." Greg Mattak laughed sarcastically: "But this is a special situation , Everyone, special circumstances, I just want to get answers to two things from you now, and then you can continue to argue."

"First of all, we must respond to the destruction of Marienburg." Mattak insisted: "In any case, our imperial officials must give an explanation."

"Argument, what argument? The people of Marienburg are all bastards, dirty separatists, moths of the empire, and exquisite egoists! They deserve what they deserve!" Geisel roared angrily. Has a claim on Marienburg.

"But Grand Duke Valverde and the others insisted that they did their best. They said that they had tried their best to resist Chaos and fought until the last person gave up the city." Zentler said hesitantly: "They said that the Nurgle army had only one goal, That is to destroy the human world, they say they are iron-blooded capitalists and guardians of the empire, and they demand corresponding treatment."

"The guardian is a chicken neck!" The three electors almost cursed at the same time: "Iron-blooded capitalist? Get out!"

"But what should we do now?" Someone asked, and the imperial court was still in a state of panic.

"A bunch of trash. Without Marienburg, they are nothing. Without Marienburg, the founding ceremony of the savior will be completely invalid." Emmanuel snorted coldly: "I'll deal with them, and all private troops will be reorganized , all property will be confiscated, this matter is over, let's move on to the next one!"

Everyone was jealous with envy. The group of merchants who had escaped from Marienburg had their families and thousands of carriages. They were a huge piece of fat!

It's a pity that this group of people also has a large number of elite private troops and mercenaries. Except for Nuer's army, no one can and dare to deal with them. Everyone can only watch the Nuer eat this piece of fat.

"Very well, the second thing is that our environment is getting worse. After piles of dirty weeds grew overnight around the well, the panicked citizens began to escape from their impoverished homes. Nests of writhing and writhing rats burst the gutters, screaming horribly every night, yet the city watch never tracked them down, and some even claimed the river itself was changing , it's getting thicker and thicker like a broth in a stove." Matake went on at once: "We've got to do something!"

"You are the Great Wizard of the Beast Sanctuary, and if you don't try to solve it yourself, come and ask us?" Emmanuel sprayed unceremoniously.

"I need your help!"

"We don't know magic, you should go to the church and the Academy of Light!" Geisel sprayed: "Okay, I think our attention must now be shifted to the city's defense, we need an experienced The general who fought the Yankees..."

"You don't want to command my army, we Nuer will not obey the orders of the Nords, even if it is a single soldier!"

"Listen, what we have to do now is to collect the whole city's food, store it properly, and then..."

The electors debated again.

Matak was greatly disappointed by this, and the chief wizard of the royal family wanted to say something, but hurried footsteps came from the corridor outside, obviously a group of heavily armored soldiers were approaching.

Everyone immediately stopped arguing, and the electors immediately put their hands on the rune teeth at their waists.

"Boom!" The door of the council hall was kicked open, and Marshal Rick Helberg appeared at the door of the hall. His face was covered with gauze, and he looked angrily like a demon of Khorne. The old man waved his hand and shouted back. The head of Hans Zentler, who came up to salute, roared: "Emmanolie! Tell your people to get out of the palace! Why did you let your Blackstone guards and Iron Armored Army gather at the gate? Rebellion???!!!”

Emmanuel saw that Helberg, who should have died in battle, appeared here, and her expression changed slightly. She quickly exchanged glances with her son. Frederick thought for a while and saw his fiancée Noelle shaking his head secretly, so he turned towards Behind him, the new commander-in-chief of the Blackstone Guard, General Nuer, Alfred von Schlieffen, made a gesture.

"Where is Marius? Where is Todbringer? Where are my generals? Where are the deans of the major wizarding colleges? And who is this beggar in dirty clothes?" Seeing that Emmanuel gave in, Helberg breathed a sigh of relief, and he continued to growl bravely.

"Greg Matak, the new chief wizard of the royal family, the edict of Emperor Karl Franz." Greg Matak pulled out a roll of the emperor's edict that smelled of hay and horse manure from his arms: "Or you Come tell me what I am?"

Helberg glared at Mattak but made no rebuttal.

"Heilberg, what's the situation? Where's the emperor? Where's Woten? Where's Schwartzhammer? Why are you back?" Emmanuel asked anxiously, and Ryan's little maid was in a state of turmoil, beating with the abacus.

Originally, I planned to let Frey take over directly in one go, but now it's a bit difficult.

"Tal's teeth! We failed, I saw the emperor died in battle, and Woten, Huss and Schwarzhammer fled eastward with a few people. If luck is good... In short, our enemy is Heading towards Brunswick! We must be grateful that the enemy is Nurgle, the speed is very slow, and we still have some time, but unfortunately, the scale of the enemy is huge, unprecedented!" Rick Field Marshal Helberg told He brought back more than a thousand remnants from the north, which were the last remaining ones among the tens of thousands of elites in Rick's leadership.

"Find out any armed forces left in the city, close all the gates, and no one is allowed to leave without my permission!"

"Securing the Armory, appointing a Chief Quartermaster to ensure that all water and food stores are under his maintenance control! Offenders will be killed on the spot!"

"Put the heraldic flag of the Franz family on the top of the palace and fly it! Let everyone in the city see it! Find me a substitute for the emperor! Let everyone believe that he has won a big victory and will soon return to the capital !"

"Immediately issue the king's order to let Rick lead all the troops to Brunswick! We will face everything here!"

Rick Marshal Helberg immediately issued a series of orders. Seeing that everyone was still in a daze, he pulled out the Rune Fang hysterically: "What are you doing in a daze, execute it!!!"

Mattak smiled, and the royal wizard finally had a little comfort in his heart. Finally, there was someone who could decide things and make up his mind. However, the royal chief wizard still seized the opportunity to ask: "I have a question."

"explain!"

"Shall we ask our allies for help? Like... the Sun King? Dwarves? Elves?"

Everyone subconsciously looked at Emmanuel and Frederick.

These two talents are the key to seeking help from the Knight Kingdom.

"Of course! Please now, when is it? We should seize all hope! Charlemagne's throne must not fall!" Helberg made a decisive decision: "My countess, you immediately write a letter of appeal for help. To Uberserik and Bogenhafen! Let them light the beacons...if there is no fall and the roads are clear!"

"Yes!" Emmanuel glanced at her son, seeing that he had no objection, she could only reluctantly agree.

Seeing that everyone went out, Helberg finally sank down on the chair.

There is hope, there is hope for the Empire.
