Chapter 227: Bretonnian Expedition

"Klaus, have the priests contact their team members. The sacred moment is approaching!"

"Yes, Lord Boris, I will prepare it right away."

Klaus left, but the huge battle axe in the room began to flash a strange light.

In Boris's eyes now, Khorne, no, in their mouths perhaps the God of War is a more direct god than Ulric. If you sacrifice precious things to Ulric, you may only get some low rewards, but if you sacrifice to Khorne, he will directly give you more powerful combat power.

Only Khorne, the god of war, can lead them to the path they seek.

After leaving, Chris began to visit many members in Middenheim. After visiting these people, he sent messengers to contact some successful officers in the Empire's Northern Army. An evil plan was rising in their hearts.

At this time, the high priest Emir had no idea what might happen next. He had already arrived in Altdorf with his entourage.

Walker personally greeted this powerful man at the city gate.

"Emile, long time no see."

"Wokma, it's true that we haven't seen each other for a long time, but I would rather we didn't meet. Why did you ask me to come this time? Your letter said that there was something you had to talk about in person?"

"That's right, Emile, come with me first, this is not the place to talk."

Walkerma brought Emile to Karl's palace, where Karl was already waiting.

"His Majesty."

"You're welcome, High Priest Emir. Please take a seat."

At this point, it can be said that the three most powerful people in the Human Empire are sitting together.

"Since everyone is here, stop beating around the bush and just tell me what you want from me?" Those who believe in Yurik were as straightforward as ever.

"Emile, you may not have heard the news yet. His Majesty and I participated in a war against the Skaven a few days ago."

"Skaven? These rats haven't come to the surface in large numbers for a long, long time. Last time it was in Nuln, where are they this time?"

The transmission of information in the medieval world was still so slow. Even if there were White Wolf Knights in the team, they were all dead, so there was no one to deliver information to them.

"It's not the Empire's city, but the Skaven's magic city that we broke into!"

"Break into the ratmen's lair? How many soldiers did you lose this time? But with your new weapons, the casualties should be much better." Emile snorted coldly.

"No, the Demon City has been destroyed. The ratman's god, the Horned Rat, is dead, and the great Sigmar has possessed His Majesty Karl." Walkma said, staring straight into Emile's eyes.

When Emil heard this, he couldn't believe it. He hoped to see from Walkerma's eyes that he was joking, but Emil only saw affirmation. He knew that Walkerma couldn't be joking about this matter.

"Did Sigmar kill the Skaven God? Ulric, I have to admit that Sigmar is the most powerful warrior among us humans after all."

"Not really"

"what?!"

Then Karl and Walkerma told the story together. They had no need to hide anything. If they wanted to implement this decree, they could not bypass the Church of Yurik. There were many soldiers who believed in Yurik in the Empire's army. "A god killed the Horned Rat, and this god came from Terra? You said Sigmar wanted to promote this god to the Empire? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! The Church of Yurik will never allow such a force to enter the north of the Empire. This is an insult to Yurik!"

No one would be able to accept it, and Emil's reaction was also within Karl and Walkerma's expectations.

"Emile, I don't know if we have a choice. Let's put it this way. An army of Terra will soon enter Bretonnia from Altdorf via Marienburg. Why don't you come with us to see this army first, and then we can discuss what to do next? Perhaps you can also go back and ask the White Wolf God for an oracle. This matter is too important."

"Okay." Although Emile was reluctant, he had to agree temporarily.

Almost the same day, a troop arrived near Altdorf on a huge train.

It has to be said that the work efficiency of these mechanical priests and the inspired craftsmen is really high, and the enthusiasm of a large number of hungry and cold civilians when they receive sufficient rewards and food is also considerable.

Thanks to the obvious improvement in the public security situation throughout the empire, a railway through Altdorf was completed last month. Together with the trains from all over the country that can transmit messages and transport supplies at an extremely fast speed, even Karl could not refuse.

Although the railways would be damaged by some chaotic creatures or cultists from time to time, compared with the benefits, these little troubles and losses were really not worth mentioning.

After dropping off soldiers and weapons and equipment, each train quickly turned back.

Soon the huge clearing in the forest outside Altdorf was filled with people.

Some people may think that it would be better to attack the trains directly, but you have to ask the artillery on the trains whether they agree or not. These trains are not only means of transportation, but also behemoths of war.

The merchants of the Yeg Chamber of Commerce branch in Reikland also began to take action. The merchants would prepare food and various supplies in advance, which greatly reduced the time required for the transportation of supplies. After this army completely entered Bretonnia, there would still be a steady stream of war supplies transported to this army with the assistance of the merchants.

"Master Gurman, welcome. On behalf of Master Otto and everyone in the Jaeger Chamber of Commerce, I salute you and Master Ludwig and praise the Emperor."

"Praise the Emperor, you have done a great job."

Gurman and Helberg studied for a long time, but their studies were interrupted due to the growing tensions between the Empire and Terra.

This time, in order to test the results of his studies, Ludwig gave him the leadership of the army.

The person who was talking to Gulman was the head of the Jaeger Chamber of Commerce in Rick County.

These merchants were extremely loyal to Terra at this time. As Terra's official Chamber of Commerce, the Jaeger Chamber of Commerce's influence grew more and more as Terra became more powerful.

What Terra brought them was not only monetary rewards, but more importantly, status.

The status of merchants in the empire used to be definitely not good, but now even some small nobles dare not offend them. After all, no one else can compete with the goods and important weapons and equipment these merchants control.

It is a monopoly, or a comprehensive monopoly in quantity, quality and technology.

"Gurman, sir, everything is ready, you can set off at any time!"

"very good."

It’s just that Gulman always felt like he was being watched, but when he found the source of this feeling, he discovered that it was a White Wolf Knight of Yurik.
