Warhammer Seal

Chapter 168 I am the Elector!
"A great victory, Your Majesty."

Gelt, who was riding Xunyin, had already landed in front of Karl, resuming the entire battle.

But for Karl, what he thinks more about is how to drive out the vampires with Man's bald head.

It's just a pity that they have already fled into the deep mountains, and the mountains are blocked by heavy snow.

The cold is nothing to vampires, but it can make the empire's humans face very difficult logistical supplies. After simply balancing the pros and cons, Karl gave up on the pursuit and reviewed the entire battle with Gelt to see if he encountered How could this situation be improved.

As for Wende, he didn't participate in the review, but looked at the corpses of the soldiers of the empire all over the mountains and plains, and fell into deep contemplation.

"Wende, I have already asked the clerk, 823 of us were killed in battle, 2316 corpses of vampires, 1429 of orcs were killed in battle, the captives have been beheaded and counted in the death toll, this is a hearty victory, we should celebrate it fan."

The incense burner handed out a statistical form to Wende, who has always been able to deduce a lot of things through numbers.

But now, Wende is very irritable. No matter how many times he tries, he can't regard the three characters 823 as numbers. They were originally living beings one after another, but they died due to lack of information and were attacked by vampires. in the midst of terrible battles.

Life is too small, and the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood has greatly stimulated Wende. He can't see through death like those veterans. He still has a soft heart, and at the same time he is very confused about his future.

If he wants to save the world in the future, he will inevitably lead many people to fight against Chaos, and the most inevitable thing in war is casualties.

Even this kind of casualties of hundreds of people can't be accepted, so how can we participate in a battle with tens of thousands of casualties.

Wende was annoyed why he wasn't strong enough. Even though his hands were already stained with the blood of others, and he had pierced through the enemy's body with his long sword, he still couldn't calmly look at the number of dead on his side. He didn't know how to respond to these soldiers. Parents, wives and daughters confess.

A sense of powerlessness arose spontaneously, causing Wende to sit where he was and was unable to stand up until a pair of hands hugged him from behind and patted his chest gently.

It was Ruixi, and it was the first time she saw the extremely confident Wende showing such a dazed emotion today.

"Wende, you are too tired, you should take a good rest and sleep in my arms, I will protect you well."

The dark elf, who never knew how to comfort others, actually hugged Wende actively, as if comforting a child. Ruixi knew that in this world, she could be regarded as Wende's only comfort.

"Thank you Ruixi, I feel much better. Indeed, instead of caring about the dead, it is better to think more about how to avoid more deaths. This is what I should do, and this is what I must do."

Thanks to Ruixi, Wende has regained his spirit.

On the side, Carl and Geert's review has ended, and it's time to discuss future plans.

Because the orcs in the south are about to move around, and those guys led by the border prince are completely unreliable, the orcs will inevitably march north and enter the territory of the empire.

Gelt will immediately go to Sol Province, relying on Sol Fortress to defend against the orcs from the south, and most of the soldiers will be handed over to Karl. After all, the place he will defend in the future is Blackfire Pass, the most critical military route. .

As for the crippled orcs and vampires, Hertwig of Ostermark Province can easily deal with them.

The biggest problem now is Sylvania. The vampire leader of this dark province has been successfully injured by Gelt's backstab, and it will take at least a few months to recover.

At this time, Gelt could also tell all the discoveries he had made in Sylvania.

"Your Majesty, I have discovered many horrible things in Sylvania. First of all, our great priest, Volkma the Ruthless, is still being imprisoned by vampires. There are rumors that vampires will use his body as a sacrifice and a container Summon the most powerful necromancer in history, Nagash."

"In addition, vampires have also kidnapped many special people from other races, all of whom will be sacrificed. Although driving the vampires out of Sylvania will delay their plans, we cannot directly send Sylva Nia is left to dry in that place, where the vampiric corruption will grow uncontrollably, and we need to appoint an Elector."

Carl nodded silently after listening to Gelt's suggestion, and at the same time shouted at Wende beside the tank.

"Wend listens! Your quasi-Elector status of Sylvania has been abolished, and now I declare in the name of Sigmar and the title of Emperor, that you and your descendants will use Sylvania as your homeland, No. Elect the emperor for Sylvania!"

It's good news and it's not good news, but at least it's interesting.

Wende immediately ran over, knelt down in front of Karl, and recited all the lord's oaths he had memorized before.

"I will swear to follow His Majesty the Emperor, and stick to my fief and His Majesty's insurmountable imperial power forever!"

Of course, the three of them knew that they didn't need any cumbersome award ceremony, and there were still many important things to do right now.

Gelt didn't speak much. He felt uncomfortable staying with Wende, so he immediately led his army back to Sol province, actively preparing for the subsequent orc invasion.

Karl is also gathering his own troops and will go to the province of Ivy. The crazy Earl Mario Redolph has a good friendship with him and can replenish troops in the province of Ivy.

The witch hunter's scouts have already received news from the border princes. Once this winter is over, the orc army will enter the Blackfire Pass when spring just arrives.

Considering the orc's straightforward character, as long as the warlord remains unchanged, the orc will never change the march plan midway, which actually gave Karl a lot of breathing time.

At the same time, it also gave Wende a good chance to rest. He has three months to control Sylvania.

With his own wisdom and means, he can clean up the corruption of vampires in Sylvania, and at the same time ensure that this place can serve as the bridgehead of the empire and the backbone of the chaos in the chaos invasion a year later.

At this time, the incense burner also repaired all the power systems of the tank and filled it with water and fuel.

Burning Feather, lying on the hatch of the tank, howled at Wende and Ruixi, and it was time for them to leave for Sylvania to take up their posts.

Position: Elector of the Empire Sylvania!
　Sylvania may be an entirely different country as far as most of the Empire's inhabitants are concerned.Halflings and dwarves are hardly known there, despite its proximity to Mootland and Strompass.

　　Technologically, it lagged behind the rest of the empire, and gunpowder was considered a terrible miracle by its inhabitants.The Empire's burgeoning middle class is almost non-existent here, and the gulf between peasants and nobles is unbridgeable, even wider than in Bretonnia.

　　To the east, Sylvania is bordered by the World's Edge Mountains, but in the other direction, its boundaries are less defined.Whenever Sylvania declares independence, the dividing line between Sylvania and Steelland in the west is redrawn; its location is in the Haunted Hills, and the current border line runs from Mordheim The ruins extend to the edge of the Bylokhov swamp.

　　In the north, the Stir River is the border between Sylvania and Ostermark.

　　. . .

　　As long as my breathing is steady, my body temperature is normal, and my will is firm, I can code even with my mobile phone!
