Chapter 138 Target Sylvania (Happy New Year 2024!)

Ludwig placed Morgiana in the inner city and had several soldiers watching her. Although her freedom was not restricted, she was not allowed to leave the inner city of Terra. Morgiana knew at this time that it was absolutely impossible for her to return to Bretonnia in her current state.

For the promise of becoming a human, I chose to stay here temporarily.

A few days later, envoys from Ivyland arrived in Terra.

The disappearance of the caravan made the Elector of Ivy very angry. He searched along the way and actually found the abandoned goods and bodies of the members. After learning the news, he immediately sent people to Terra and tried to get an explanation.

Ludwig also received the messenger normally. Originally, he didn't know the existence of this caravan. But after hearing the messenger's words, he guessed that the vampire named Hilda might have hidden in this caravan and reached Terra. If Sylvania wanted to reach Terra, it must pass through the Ivy Territory.

After hearing Ludwig's explanation, the messenger knew that this was the most likely possibility, although he did not admit it. He had come here to call for an explanation, but now he had become the one in the wrong.

"My Lord Earl, what you said is indeed possible, but we cannot conclude that it is so certain. We can put the matter behind us.

We are just a few businessmen. Let's talk business. For example, the special weapons in your territory. The Elector is very interested in them and is willing to pay a sufficient price. "

Facing the messenger, Ludwig knew that he now had the initiative.

He took over the host!
"I already know Lord Leidolf's wishes, but I think you also know how precious these weapons are. It is difficult to measure their value with gold coins alone.

I hope to send a team of soldiers to meet with Lord Leidolf. Of course, we will also bring the weapons that the Elector wants, but we have one more thing we want to discuss with Lord Leidolf. "

"What is it, Count? Please tell me."

Apparently, these envoys were ready to listen to Ludwig's big offer. They wanted to talk! It was normal to bargain with each other.

But the next words caught the messenger off guard.

"First, I hope to send a missionary team to Ivyland to design a church. I think you also know that His Majesty Karl has recognized our church."

"Of course, that's fine, but Lord Earl, your preaching cannot affect the original order and operation of Ivyland. As a staunch supporter of His Majesty Karl, the Elector is of course willing to implement measures approved by His Majesty, but if your church behaves inappropriately, we also have the right to sanction it."

"Of course, our church will also help if Ivyland is in danger."

"That's great, sir. Please tell me your second condition."

“Secondly, I hope Lord Leidolf can send suitable guides and candidates. My warriors and I are preparing to launch a surprise attack on Sylvania!
Terrans don't have the habit of not fighting back when being beaten! These vampires actually dared to attack us, so we must let them know the price they should pay!"

At this time, Terra had a strong army, and the surrounding beastmen and orcs no longer posed a threat, and even the purpose of training troops could not be achieved. They also made good friends with the dwarves, so that Terra had no natural enemies around it.

The number of troops is increasing, and although there are Astra Militarum instructors to provide training, there is a lack of actual combat experience.

Manfred's attack was not without some benefit. It exposed Terra's lack of combat experience when dealing with emergencies.

If the initial batch of Terra soldiers were already at the gold level, then the soldiers recruited later had very few opportunities to gain experience, and the bronze level was already the highest.

Terra, which can be separated from agricultural production, has a soldier population that accounts for one-tenth of the total population. One-tenth of them have already been equipped, which can be said to be a strong army.

"My Lord Earl, what did you say? Are you sure you want to attack Sylvania?
Don't you know the situation there?" The messenger even doubted his own ears.

"You heard me right. I don't need too much support from Lord Leidolf. Let us handle the war ourselves. However, Ivy has been fighting with Sylvania for many years and must have a certain understanding of Sylvania. We need intelligence support!"

"This... Lord Earl, this matter is of great significance. I need to consult Lord Elector."

"It doesn't matter. My generals and soldiers will go with you. I believe that Lord Leidolf will agree to this kind of soldiers who are of great benefit and no harm!"

This time the strategic decision was also made by Zhang Heng, since Manfred had already started capturing Jinchūriki everywhere.

That means the plan to resurrect Nagash has already begun. Although in the original plot, the undead in ET still made a lot of efforts in fighting against Chaos, that was when the Empire did not have Terra and its weapons had been replaced.

If the current development progress is followed, the role of the undead will be infinitely reduced.

There is no need for such uncertainty to occur, and the most important thing is that Baldy Man must die!
The attack on Sylvania was not only for revenge, but also to increase Terra's political influence.

After the Battle of Nuln, Terra's influence entered a period of stagnation again, and the consequence of trade was that people only remembered Terra's commerce.

We must do something that will surprise the entire empire and continue to promote the development of the church.

This time, Gulman was still the leader of the team, but there were two other figures in the team, namely Millia and the two combat nuns.

When they heard about the battle against aliens, they volunteered. Although they also liked to preach in the city, they preferred to use explosive bombs to destroy those aliens and heretics.

The beginning of a war means that Zhang Heng will be busy again. The seemingly simple tasks of weapons, equipment, vehicles, and food require him to expend his energy.

There are simply too many places in Terra that require him to expend his faith and invest in things.

Faith is something that is never enough.

Zhang Heng began to send a message to Rebecca, who was stationed abroad to preach, asking her to go to Aldorf.

Since we are going to take action against Sylvania, we need to inform Emperor Karl, and the main purpose of the notification is to ask for some assistance.

And this aid is not conventional soldiers and weapons and equipment. To be honest, Zhang Heng now looks down on ancient weapons and soldiers. What he really needs are powerful wizards who possess magical powers.

The power of magic Zhang Heng realized when Manfred used powerful magic on Terra, a powerful wizard could turn the tide of a battle alone.

You can't always use up your faith to control the situation. You can use that faith for more important things.

There is no subspace here, and Zhang Heng cannot deploy psychics. The existence of this kind of being that can deal AOE, single-target, attack, heal, and apply buffs can only be temporarily relied on by the Empire.
