Warhammer in a box

Chapter 150 Gathering
Sensing the powerful magical aura of the place, Bayershazer also rushed over on his Swiftsilver, but just as he arrived at the gate of the inner city, Ludwig and Tegris came out.

"What happened? Why did I feel a huge magical power here just now!" Bayershaze looked at the two of them in confusion.

"It's okay. Lord Tigris just showed us his magical attainments. He is worthy of being the most powerful wizard in the world. It's simply amazing." Ludwig said with a smile.

However, Tigris on the side was obviously in a bad mood and just hummed lightly.

"Baiershaze, I'm leaving. Osuyan has more important things waiting for me." After saying this, he summoned his arcane phoenix and left without waiting for Gailshaze to continue speaking.

Gelshazer also felt that something must have happened between Tigris and Terra, but seeing that Ludwig obviously didn't want to say it, he didn't ask any more questions.

"Ludwig, Lord Teclis, is a friend of our human race."

"Of course I know. We get along very well."

"Okay." Although Gailshaze didn't say anything, he clearly felt the divine power of Zhang Heng just now. After all, he had communicated with Zhang Heng.

"Lord Gailshazer, it's time for us to set off. I assume you don't want to miss the attack on Sylvania?"

"Well, thanks to the new weapons you provided, the security situation in the empire has been greatly improved. My messenger has replied that His Majesty Karl will also send a troop to test the combat effectiveness of the troops after the refit. The leader of the team this time is Marshal Krut Helberg. I hope that we can have more exchanges with Terra's troops at that time."

"That's great! I really look forward to the day when we can counterattack Sylvania."

At this time, Baldy Man didn't know that a group of people were waiting to beat him up, and the stable Sylvania was about to face a team eager for revenge.

Meanwhile, in the fortress of Sylvania, Bald Man was looking at the captured Jinchuriki in the prison. Over the years, several high-priest-level figures from both large and small empires and from the neighboring Bretonnia religion had suddenly disappeared, and all of the missing people were people with powerful magical powers.

Each person's disappearance had caused quite a stir, but after a long search, no trace was found, and in the end, it was left unresolved. No one attributed the disappearance of these people to vampires, and most people even thought it was the work of Chaos. These people are now lying in Manfred's cage.

Among them was even the high elf princess Elisa.

At this time, the Jinchūriki was only missing two people. As long as he found two more people, he would be able to complete the preliminary preparations for resurrecting Nagash.

After leaving the dungeon, Manfred returned to his castle. Sitting on his throne, he continued to ponder what kind of existence the powerful character in Terra was.

But his thoughts were soon interrupted.

A high-ranking vampire knocked on his door.

"Come in."

Looking at his subordinate who was kneeling on one knee in front of him, Manfred asked, "What's the matter?"

"Lord Manfred, something happened! The spy in Ivyland has sent a message that the Empire's troops are being mobilized on a large scale." "Large-scale mobilization? What? A tide of beasts and orcs? Or is another orc clan from the Blackfire Pass attacking the Empire?" This was Manfred's first reaction.

"The spies said they seem to be attacking Sylvania!"

"What!" Manfred stood up from his chair.

The Sylvanian vampires have been operating for countless years. It's not that there haven't been troops from the human empire that have invaded Sylvania. In the original plot, even Walkermar the Ruthless, who led an entire army of the church, was completely wiped out in the end. Not a single person escaped, and even he himself was captured.

The countless dead in the underground of Sylvania, coupled with the extremely high rate of vampire corruption, means that Sylvania has almost endless troops. Any troops that go deep into Sylvania will be consumed to death. The problem of food and grass alone can drag down any order force in this world.

Even the strong men in the medieval world still had to eat. They could not practice fasting or absorb the spiritual energy of the sun and the moon like the immortal cultivators.

But Manfred soon calmed down.

That would be perfect, I could avenge myself and maybe find a chance to capture one or two more human sacrifices.

"Come on, let these arrogant imperial people come, tell all the nobles that there will be fresh blood waiting for them to enjoy, tell those necromancers that living materials sufficient for several years are on the way, and tell all the blood slaves that those who have made outstanding military achievements will have the opportunity to gain eternal life!

Notice to the whole territory that troops defending against the Empire will be exempted from blood tax for two years!"

The Empire is taking action, and Sylvania is also taking action. Most of the civilians in Sylvania have lived in this isolated Sylvania for generations. They are ignorant, and some of them don't even know that they are from the Empire, nor do they know the name of the current emperor. They only know that they are subjects and property under the rule of the Castain family.

The barren land struggles to feed the people here, but the strong dimensional stone makes the people here more or less mutated, which also makes it impossible for the Sylvanians to leave. The Empire's attitude towards mutants is extremely harsh.

The living people here need to pay blood tax to the vampires on time, that is, to offer their own blood or the eldest daughter in their family. They have no resistance to death and necromancy. In their eyes, black powder is much more evil than necromancy.

These Sylvanians even look down on other humans outside. They are even proud of the harsh environment they live in. They look down on people who rely on black powder.

It's not just the vampires and the undead that are terrifying in Sylvania. These mutated humans are equally terrifying. Because they are indifferent to death and are accustomed to it, they rarely flee. Death is death, and it doesn't matter.

Living might be more painful than dying.

After hearing the news, many Sylvanian people even started to get excited. They would have to pay less blood tax for many years! Then the days of those who were still alive in the next few years would be much better!
Terra's troops have been deployed in the city closest to Sylvania in Averland, and along with them came Averland's soldiers. These soldiers in gorgeous attire are a feature of Averland, but that doesn't mean they're just for show.

Gulman even discovered some halflings. There were indeed quite a few halflings in the empire, but most of them were better at housework and cooking, and halflings serving as soldiers could only be seen on a large scale in the Territory of Ivy.

The halflings who join the Mountain Guard province troops in Averland are all excellent hunters.

A group of Black Bear Knights also came here. This team, which had been fighting against orcs and undead for many years, was also recruited here by Redolf.
