Warhammer in a box

Chapter 147: Mad Marquis and Tigris's Request
As the servant walked into the hall, Gurman also saw the man sitting on the chair in the middle of the hall.

It was hard for him to associate the person in front of him with an Elector of the Empire.

Judging from his sturdy body, he was definitely an excellent warrior, but he seemed to have nothing to do with nobility.

There is a strange madness in his handsome face.

"Are you Ludwig's messenger? I heard that you are going to cause trouble for Sylvania? Great!" Rudolf laughed.

"Um... Lord Rudolf, it seems you have heard about it. Then we..."

"Okay, stop talking. I don't have any other requests. As long as you give me those special muskets and ammunition, not to mention guides, I will send troops directly to go into Sylvania with you. I have been annoyed with them for a long time! You tell Ludwig to send troops directly, I want to go in with them!"

Rudolf's words made Gulman confused. He had prepared many excuses, but now he didn't even have to say a word.

"Lord Rudolf, are you joining us in the attack on Sylvania?"

"Is there something wrong with what I said?"

"That's not..."

Wars are fought for money and human lives, not to mention that for Averland, Sylvania is the dominant party.

Gulman thought that the man in front of him was indeed the Mad Lord, and what he did was unexpected.

Going deep into the land corrupted by vampires is bound to be a losing proposition.

But Gurman was very satisfied with this kind of madness. The negotiations went unexpectedly smoothly. In just half an hour, both parties left with satisfactory answers.

And Gurman also sent a signal to Terra through the communication device.

A total of 3000 people, three infantry regiments, with three Leman Russ tanks, three Chimeras and several transport vehicles, headed towards Ivy.

If you don't know, just looking at this army gives you at least some of the feeling of the big guys in 40k.

You have to remember that a few months ago many of them were just farmers or even refugees.

Singing a prayer to the Emperor, the team began the first true expedition to Terra.

"My lord, are you sure you want to intervene in the war between Terra and Sylvania? The situation in Ivy Territory is very stable now, and it has been a long time since the vampires came out of Sylvania openly.

Although undead creatures continue to attack the border, they have never launched an all-out attack.

Moreover, our prosperous economic environment has made the economy of our entire territory very good, and we are well-equipped! In addition, the gunpowder and weapons and equipment you have stockpiled in recent years have already filled up the arsenal.

This amount of weapons and equipment is more than enough to arm all the soldiers of two more Avey territories. Is it really necessary to buy those weapons from Terra?"

A confidant of Rudolf asked in confusion. "You don't understand the meaning of this weapon at all. In front of these things, the old muskets are nothing in my eyes!" Rudolf took out an automatic rifle from a box. Obviously, this was also bought from the black market. No matter how well it is protected, there will always be greedy people who will choose to smuggle it.

"But sir, war will kill people, and this is a matter of tethering the entire body. We are next to Sylvania, and we are the ones most likely to suffer retaliation!"

"Enough! Andrew! I just want you to obey my orders. I didn't ask you to come here to make you question me! Those vampires can infiltrate my caravan, so they can also infiltrate my court. Do you think those vampires have not left Sylvania over the years? The necromancers I kill and the human traitors I find every year are enough to fill up the cells in Ivy County!
They dare to provoke me! I dare to fight! You think Terra got our help, but we also took advantage of Ludwig!"

Looking at the obviously angry Leidolf in front of him, the official next to him dared not say another word. The title of Mad Marquis was not called for nothing. He knew that if he said another word, he would be punished with physical pain and imprisonment.

After Rudolf's order was issued, the entire Ivy County became tense and the troops began to mobilize, but of course all this could not be hidden from the vampires of Sylvania.

And with Rebecca returning to Terra, Zhang Heng can use her halo to increase faith again.

On days when his faith was not strong enough, Zhang Heng felt so itchy looking at the chess pieces in the room that he almost collapsed.

Low-level chess pieces, especially ordinary Astra Militarum, are no longer particularly important. What is important are those high-level chess pieces that are units that can bring real improvements to the entire Terra.

Feeling the amount of faith at this moment, Zhang Heng decided not to use any faith in the next month. He wanted to save up for a big one, and also leave enough to interfere with the world in the box.

Over the next few days, Morgiana seemed to have slowly recovered from her previous state, and she began to adapt to her half-human, half-vampire state, but the occasional blood drinking made her extremely uncomfortable.

Having lost a certain degree of freedom, she could only rely on observing the new things around her to relieve her depression and emptiness. Having been a lake fairy all her life, after losing this identity, it seemed as if her life had also lost its purpose.

But it also gave her extra energy and mood to accept other things, such as everything in Terra. The priests of the Mechanicus spared no effort to add various equipment to it relying on their own skills and knowledge.

These devices that she had never seen before, as well as the Ohm Messiah and the Emperor that the mechanical priests had always talked about, also aroused her interest.

As a former chosen one of God, she was now looking at an exquisite book in her hand. This book recorded the miracles Zhang Heng had performed since the founding of Terra City, as well as prayers to the Emperor. A nun was also assigned to Mogiana's side.

The first is surveillance, the second is care, and the most important thing is to brainwash Morgiana every day, trying to instill the greatness and selflessness of the Emperor.

Zhang Heng needs to let Morgiana gradually and completely step out of her identity as the Lake Fairy and Lilith's Chosen One, and then tell her Lilith's true identity. Tigris will become a major prop to prove Zhang Heng's statement.

After a few days, the results have begun to show.

At this time, Teclis, who was still living in the outer city, could no longer sit still. Bayershazer urged him to go to Ivy Territory together, but he did not want to really help humans fight. He had tried several times to use magic to sneak into the city, but all failed.

Want to penetrate the defense system set up by the Mechanicus without using destructive methods? Isn't this simply a disregard for the Mechanicus' tens of thousands of years of accumulation?

Tigris eventually found Ludwig and proposed a tour of the inner city.

When Ludwig heard what Tigris said, he knew that the opportunity had come.

"Of course, Your Excellency Grand Master, it is our honor that you want to visit this inner city. However, the inner city is the most important place in our Terra. Some places are the Emperor's sanctuary. You are not allowed to enter."

Listening to Ludwig's words, Tegris also frowned, but he still chose to accept it. As long as he could get in, he might be able to find some clues.
