Warhammer in a box

Chapter 226: Scarlet Skull Sect
After leaving the Kingdom of God, Zhang Heng returned to the outside of the box again. Looking at his room, Zhang Heng couldn't help but smack his lips.

“It’s really more fun to show off in the box than outside it.” Zhang Heng was obviously still a little hesitant. Sitting on the golden throne, he felt like he was really a god.

Carl and Walkerma returned to Altdorf together. Ignoring other people's questions, they went into the most mysterious secret room in Altdorf together.

"High Priest, what exactly is the oracle from Sigmar?" Carl asked still puzzled.

"The great Sigmar explained to me the situation we will face in the future. Perhaps the empire must go through this in order to continue to survive."

It was rare for Walkerma to feel worried. After all, it was a disaster that even the god he believed in, the god of mankind itself, could not stop.

"But, if the Church of Yurik really wants to do this, the northern part of the empire will definitely be in chaos. Given the character of the people in the Church of Yurik, they will definitely not accept it easily."

"Your Majesty, now that things have come to this, I will first notify the high priest of the Church of Euric to come to Altdorf to discuss this. This is not just a matter for one or two electoral lords, it affects the entire empire and even all of humanity."

"And your majesty, Terra also said that they need your permission for an army to go to Bretonnia through Reikland."

"Bretonnia. As expected, Terra is also involved in Bretonnia's changes. I wonder when Lawn contacted them. Let them go. It is not appropriate for the Empire to send troops to aid Bretonnia now. Since we can't stop it, we might as well go with the flow."

The two reached a consensus in the secret room, and as the order was issued, the church and nuns of Terra began to move towards the center of the empire and the north.

An army of 10,000 people from Terra marched through Altdorf in a swaggering manner, which naturally attracted the attention of countless people.

For a while, all kinds of gossip and rumors were everywhere, and every elector was wondering what had happened. Soon they received an edict from Karl Franz, requiring all electors to go to Altdorf to attend a meeting.

Grand Ulric of the Ulric Church is also the high priest of the Sigmar Church. The leader of the Ulric Church at this time is Emil Fagor, who is an extremely powerful warrior, but also an excellent leader.

He has been staying in the temple of Ulric in Middenheim to guard the Holy Fire of Ulric (although this holy fire is not a real holy fire), and whenever the north of the empire was invaded by Chaos, he would lead the Knights to fight against Chaos and guard the north of the empire.

He received news from Walkerma that there had always been discord between the two churches. He wanted to reject Walkerma's invitation, but he had never felt such tension from Walkerma's letter. The two churches could fight each other over trivial matters, but if it was something really important, Emile could still distinguish the priorities.

When he walked out of the hall and prepared to go to Altdorf, the priests under him were puzzled.

"High Priest, why are you going to Altdorf? These cowards from the south are not worthy of meeting you!"

Ever since Terra's weapons and equipment began to become popular in the Empire, the Church of Yurik has found it increasingly unacceptable.

Anyone who uses these weapons is a coward. Humans should rely on swords and lances in their hands, and constantly hone their skills.

Northerners mocked Southerners as cowards, while Southerners mocked Northerners as barbarians. The emergence of new weapons further exacerbated this contradiction.

Elmi looked at the priests under his command and didn't say much. It was reasonable that the extremely strict teachings of the Church of Yurik had produced such priests and warriors, but he himself had already realized the benefits these weapons brought to the empire.

"No need to say more. Protect the sacred fire and prepare my steed while I am gone."

After hearing Emile's words, the priests were very reluctant but still did as he said.

But unknown to Emil, this emotion was even more intense than he had imagined. It was conceivable that after a lifetime of hard work and dedication, he was powerless against a weapon that came off an assembly line. This gap was really hard to accept.

The priests could only disperse in disappointment after watching Emil leave Middenheim. The influence of the Church of Eurick in the empire became increasingly weaker.

However, there was one priest among the present who had a strange look on his face. He was the first to leave the temple and head towards a secret place in Middenheim City.

Passersby on the road and people from the Church of Yurik would greet and salute him when they saw him. It was obvious that this person had a high status in the Church of Yurik.

The man came to a simple but not ordinary building. He knocked on the door and there was a response from inside soon.

"It's me, Klaus Liebnitz."

"come in."

As the door opened, Klaus entered the house. The house was now decorated extremely simply, and everything in the house was in line with the strict teachings of the Church of Yurik.

The walls of the house are hung with the furs and heads of various huge beasts. These are the war items of the owner of the house. Hanging in the center of the house is an incredibly huge battle axe.

The blade of the battle axe is full of traces of battle, and the blood seems to have seeped into the axe, making it look very chilling. This is not an ornament, but a weapon that has killed countless enemies.

"Lord Boris, the right time has come!"

Hearing Klaus' words, Boris turned around.

"Klaus, tell me what happened?"

The person in front of him is Boris Eichmann, the former high priest of the Church of Yurik. Since the change of power, he has participated in battles as an ordinary church member and lived in seclusion here.

Klaus then told Boris everything that happened today, and a smile appeared on Boris's calm face.

"The Empire. Those guys who believe in Sigmar. These corrupt priests have already fallen. Klaus, get the members ready. Perhaps this is a great opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the Sigmar Church and the Empire."

Perhaps no one would have thought that the former high priest of Ulric was actually a believer of Khorne.

The Scarlet Skulls are probably the most successful church of Khorne in the Empire. Its history can be traced back to before the holy war against Chaos. This church is different from ordinary Khorne cults. They can control their fighting desires. They avoid reckless and useless battles. They also like to disguise their evil doctrines or rituals as training systems or strict military discipline and etiquette.

This makes them very popular among the Empire's battle brotherhoods, which also allows them to hide well.

They admire personal bravery and fighting enthusiasm and develop many people into their believers without their knowledge. By the time the deceived realize that they have been bewitched, they have often stepped into the abyss and cannot turn back.

The Scarlet Skull's favorite is the Church of Ulric. Through a duel or a competition, it is very likely that a battle-hardened Ulric knight will be pulled into his gang.
