Warhammer in a box

Chapter 192 Prince Bourne
After a brief bombardment, more than half of the men who called themselves bandits had been killed. Just as they came to their senses from the bombardment, they saw that Bourne and his men, who were originally far away, had come close to them.

However, these bandits at least have some blood in their veins. They are used to burning, killing, looting and have seen a lot of death.

Seeing Bourne and the others, they at least knew how to resist and raise their knives.

But the following laser salvo brought this farce-like ambush to an end.

"Pa" a loud slap hit the baron in the face.

"Tell me your name, your purpose, and where you are from!"

Ferrer rolled up his sleeves and slapped the so-called baron's face. Half of his face was swollen like a steamed bun.

"Sir, stop hitting me! Don't hit me! I'll tell you everything! My name is Tien! I'm from the Principality of Manzig! I'm the Baron there!"

Tien said hurriedly, fearing that if he spoke a second later he would get another loud slap in the face.

"Manzig? Where is Manzig? And you even have a noble title, hahahaha." Looking at Tien's appearance, his armor was obviously poorly maintained and the whole person looked dirty. This was probably the most un-noble noble that Ferrer had ever seen in his life.

Even the most marginalized members of the nobility in the hive would at least keep their appearance glamorous and beautiful.

"Really! I really am! Manzig is just to the north, by the Blood River!"

"How many people are there in your place, and who is the ruler?!"

"Manzig has three thousand men, and our ruler is Prince Greif!"

"Three thousand people? Three thousand soldiers? That sounds like a lot." Ferrel thought about it and realized that he only had more than a hundred people here, so he could definitely win the fight, but even if there were three thousand pigs, it would take a long time to kill them.

"No, no, no! Not three thousand soldiers, three thousand of us in total!"

"In total?! Are you saying that your entire principality only has 3,000 people? Wouldn't the soldiers here be the majority of your soldiers?"

"That's right. We originally wanted to rob a merchant caravan."

"Three thousand people dare to call themselves princes?" Ferrer even suspected that he had heard it wrong.

"Hehehe, sir, you don't know, Prince? We have a lot of them here. Today he may be a prince, and tomorrow I may be one, as long as I kill Lord Griff."

"Oh, you guys are competing for the job." Ferrer found it quite interesting. The political power in this barren land was replaced in the simplest way, that is, whoever has the bigger fist is the boss.

"Tien, do you want to live?" Ferrer said.

"Yes! Of course I do! Sir, please tell me what you want to say!"

"Lead the way! Take us to Manziger, our Prince Bern, and be ready to receive his domain!"

"Bourne?" Tien said in surprise when he saw Ferrer pointing at Bourne, who was obviously still a little childish.

"That's right! This is the noble Emperor's Chosen One. It is your honor to accept his rule!!"

People who live here and have slow brains are destined to be exploited, and those who reach Tian's position are either highly skilled in fighting or have good brains. Obviously, Tian is not the former.

After a quick thought, Tien immediately flattered Bourne, "Great Prince Bourne, please give me a chance! Let me lead the horse for you. That damned Griffin actually dared to lay his hands on your kingdom! Damn him!!!"

Seeing that Tien was so sensible, Ferrell patted him on the shoulder. "Not bad! Not bad! Lead the way!"

Soon Bourne and others arrived at this so-called principality. The entire principality was surrounded by some simple wooden fences, which were the so-called city walls.

Seeing this crude defense, Ferrell let Tien go back without any worries. Even if Tien turned against them, this wooden fence could stop the Terran guards? It was simply a pipe dream.

And Tien was also very sensible. After entering the city wall, he directly opened the gate for Bourne and his party. Bourne and his party easily seized the "Principality" where there were not many soldiers left.

Originally, Ferrer had no intention of killing people, but after entering the so-called palace of Grieve and seeing him torturing two women, Ferrer fired a laser at him without hesitation and even executed all of his cronies together.

"People of Manziger! The unscrupulous Griff has been executed by the great Prince Bern! Now cheer for your new prince~"

Tien stood on the platform and spoke to the people who had gathered.

But it is obvious that the people here have become accustomed to regime changes. Changing the ruler makes no difference to them. The so-called princes here are all the same, they just exploit them more harshly or less harshly. As long as the new people can provide them with security, they don't care.

"Untouchables! Where are the cheers! Hurry up and welcome Prince Bourne!" Tien's face was very angry. He had just found a new master, and these people embarrassed him right away.

"Tien! Stop talking!" Bourne said to Tien.

"Yes, my Lord! Are you going to give a speech?"

Bourne walked to the front of the stage and looked at the people below. They looked numb and dirty. They looked more like a group of beggars than civilians.

"Everyone! I don't have any requirements for you. I don't want you to do anything for me! The only thing you have to do is accept the faith of the God-Emperor!" To be honest, Bourne really didn't know what he could get from them.

"God Emperor? What is God Emperor?"

There were constant whispers from the people below.

"I don't need you to understand what the Emperor of God means now, but those who believe in the Emperor of God can get extra food every day, and those with the most devout faith can get gold coins!!" Bourne waved his hand, and a cart of food and a bag of gold coins were placed in front of him.

It is really useless to talk about faith with these exiles, adventurers and bandits. If they really had faith, they would not have come to this barren land.

Obviously, to communicate with these people, you have to use what they are most interested in, that is, material things, and guide them to believe in the God-Emperor from a material perspective. Regardless of whether the other party is truly pious, you can always filter out the people you want over time.

Sure enough, under the temptation of real benefits, these people are extremely active.

Bourne looked at Ferrer, and Ferrer arranged for people to start distributing sheets of paper printed with the Emperor's teachings.

After people got the paper, they looked left and right and stared at each other.

"What's wrong? Any problem?" Ferrer asked.

"Sir, we are illiterate." Upon hearing this, Bourne and Ferrer slapped their heads. It's over, they forgot about it. They still thought they were still in Terra. Terra also began to force workers to learn the most basic literacy. The prerequisite for industrialization is workers who can master machinery.

If you don’t even know the simplest words, you can’t become a good worker.

"Brother Ferrer, arrange for someone to read it directly to them."

"This is all we can do for now. Tien, come here. I need you to tell us about the situation nearby."
