Warhammer in a box

Chapter 164 Requisition
Otto also looked at the Bretonnian knight approaching.

"Imperials! Where are you from!" Leo raised his head proudly. The pride engraved in his bones made him always feel that he was superior to others.

"Hello, respected knight. I am the president of the Imperial Jaeger Chamber of Commerce. My name is Otto. I heard that our friendly neighbors have encountered some difficulties recently. I came here with my caravan to see if you need any help."

However, the knight named Leo did not look at Otto straight in the eye. In his eyes, being a merchant was nothing more than a menial job.

"Hmph, help us? Great Bretonnia doesn't want the help of the Empire! Go back!"

This was beyond Otto's expectations, but Leo's next words soon made Otto no longer maintain his cultured appearance, and his anger began to rise.

"You can go, but all the goods must be left behind! Since you said you are here to help us, I will requisition these things! The kingdom is going through a war and it happens to be in need of supplies. Don't be ungrateful. This is your honor!"

And listening to their master's words, the knight's servants and soldiers actually began to walk towards the truck.

Their eyes revealed greed when they looked at the large amounts of food and exquisite ornaments in the cargo.

Just as they were about to grab the goods, they found a solid wall of people appearing before them.

The Kislevites, the Terrans, and even a few Astra Militarum soldiers, these powerful soldiers were even a head taller than the Bretonnians. At this moment, they looked down at the Bretonnians who were trying to move forward, and this power made the Bretonnians soldiers couldn't help but take two steps back.

But after all, they were in their own country, and these Batto soldiers bravely drew their weapons and shouted.

"You are going against Lord Leo's wishes! This is in Bretonnia, not your Empire!"

But the words of these soldiers could not threaten the guards in the caravan at all.

Seeing the people in front of him were indifferent, Leo said angrily: "What are you still looking at! Bring it to me! Didn't you hear me?!"

After all, the order from his knight master overwhelmed his own fear. One soldier mustered up the courage and raised his hand to swing the sword, but the next second he lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

Gotrek leaped over the human wall and struck the Batto soldier on the head with the back of his axe, instantly rendering him completely incapable of fighting. Looking at the blood flowing from his head, it was estimated that he would have a concussion if not die.

"You bastards of Bartor! Are you trying to steal something from your uncle Gotrek? Come on up if you have the guts. I'll kill anyone who touches my wine! I'm telling you, don't touch the dwarf's wine!"

Gao Trek didn't care about other goods. What he cared about was the wine prepared for him in the car. After getting used to the strong liquor provided by Zhang Heng, Gao Trek felt that the beer in the tavern was simply bland and he could no longer get used to it.

"How dare you attack the soldiers of Bretonnia! Dwarf! You are provoking, you are declaring war! Soldiers! Capture them all! Dead or alive! For every one you defeat, you will be rewarded with two bags of food!"

Leo also rode his warhorse towards Gotrek, and the surrounding Batto soldiers and serfs were already accustomed to accepting orders from the knights. Coupled with the temptation of food, some even rushed forward empty-handed.

Leo's promise made everyone in the caravan sick. The reward was actually food? !
Leo, who originally thought he had victory in his grasp as he had the advantage in numbers, was soon awakened from his sweet dream.

He was still charging when suddenly his eyes went dark and he lost consciousness. When he woke up again, he was tied to a wooden stake, and his knights, servants and soldiers were also tied around him.

The serfs all squatted on the ground with their hands on their heads, while the imperials were holding his sword and looking at him with a mocking look on their faces. "The fighting power of these infantrymen of Bretonnia...ah." Otto was also speechless.

The combat effectiveness of the infantry here was too poor. Even though they had the advantage in numbers, they were still dispersed by a single charge from the guards of their own caravan. This was even when he specifically warned them not to hurt anyone.

But even so, several Batto soldiers still had their bones broken.

"Otto, what makes Bretonnia strong is not its infantry, but its fearless and indomitable knight army." Morgiana said on the side. She did not like to hear people belittling Bretonnia.

"I'm sorry, sir. I am offended, but the knight before me is obviously not worthy of the title of knight."

"Let me go! Let me go! Do you know who I am?!" Even now Leo still tried to use his identity to force Otto and others to submit.

Isuka, the Kislev leader in the caravan, went up and slapped Leo.

Since the Battle of Noon, Otto has fulfilled his promise to Isuka and even given him more generous rewards, which allowed Isuka's people to live a good life on the barren land, making Isuka regard Otto as his benefactor.

The slap seemed to wake him up.

"Knight! Look at me!" Morgiana spoke.

At this moment, Leo was looking at the woman in front of him who was covered tightly in black clothes. He didn't know what Morgiana wanted him to do.

"Ma'am, please go ahead."

"I see your family crest is from Count Adalbert's family?" Morgiana quickly identified the family crest carried by Leo. At this time, the Duchy of Cologne belonged to Bretonnia, which was also the territory of King Lawn. Morgiana still had an impression of some powerful knight families.

"How do you know which family I come from?!" Leo was surprised. The family crests of the Bretonnians were very complicated. After you received certain honors, some specific things would be added to the crest. In Bretonnia, only learned people could easily recognize the crests of all families. And it was even more incredible that the woman from the empire in front of him knew this.

"Since you have already obtained the territory, maybe you are not a side branch of the family?"

However, not everyone in a powerful knight family can own his own fiefdom. There are only so many fiefdoms. Those side branches and second sons will often join the army alone after they reach adulthood and start as a chivalrous knight, using war to prove their bravery and then move on to a higher level of knighthood.

"Yes, Count Bert is my father and I am his third son."

"Very good, Leo, I will untie your rope now. I am the priestess of the Goddess of the Lake! We have just returned from the empire, and we are secretly looking for the Fairy of the Lake!" Mogiana said and took out a token representing the Priestess of the Lake. As the former head priest, she would carry something that could prove her identity.

The moment he saw the token, Leo immediately changed his normal behavior and became respectful.

"Respected Goddess Priestess! I'm sorry! I shouldn't have led people to attack your caravan! Please don't tell my father!"

"Don't tell anyone about us. Our mission is secret. Don't worry, Leo, we won't tell anyone."
