Chapter 228: Elector Conference

Terra's army had already arrived outside Helmgate, an important pass between the Empire and Bretonnia. While the army was preparing war supplies, most of the electors had also arrived in Altdorf, which would have been impossible under normal circumstances.

It's just that this time Sigmar and the Church of Ulric jointly issued a call, so the electors came to Altdorf reluctantly.

In Karl's palace, the highest class of imperial power has gathered in the conference room.

The electors chatted with each other and asked if they knew the purpose of this trip.

Only a few people know what is going on.

Wiesenland is the Electorate where Nun is located. The Elector of Wiesenland, Eben von Liebowitz, has been almost sidelined due to Terra's efforts. He was informed of this in advance and asked to support the purpose of this meeting. Eben also looked helpless. The economy and military of the entire Wiesenland are almost inseparable from Terra.

Originally, the largest city, Nuln, had a special status. Although it belonged to his Electorate, Emmanuel always pursued autonomy.

The other people who knew about it were Bayershazer, Walkerma, Emil and Carl's supporter Major Redolf ​​of Ivy. As Terra's closest neighbor, Redolf ​​had the most intuitive understanding of Terra's strength. Although he seemed crazy, he was very clear about this. Since even Carl agreed, he had no reason to refuse.

These people also looked nervous when they saw the other electors who were still not nervous at all.

As Carl walked into the hall, everyone's eyes were focused on him.

This was not the first time he presided over such a meeting. Being a man of great political acumen, he was not afraid of these electors, but this time was definitely the most nervous he had ever been.

"Everyone, thank you for coming."

Karl said this and sat down on the emperor's seat.

"Your Majesty Karl, what's the matter with you calling us here this time?" The person asking was Geisel from the Nord Territory.

Hearing someone speak first, Carl also looked at Walkerma and Gelshazer, one of whom represented the Church of Sigmar and the other represented the Mage Academy.

When the two nodded, Carl told everyone the purpose of this trip.

As expected, once the vital interests of these electors are involved, the emperor, what is the emperor? Now that the world is at peace, the last thing we need is you as an emperor. The reason why we nominated you is to let you fight against powerful enemies for us or guarantee our interests.

What kind of unorthodox church are you going to let come to our place to preach? Are you kidding me?
The electors in the north were the most vocal, while those in the south said nothing.

The situation at the meeting suddenly turned into two extremes. The electors in the north also discovered the problem. Logically speaking, this kind of thing would not divide the north and the south, but why were the southerners unusually quiet this time?

But when Walkerma stood up and said that this was an oracle bestowed by the great Sigmar himself, they realized that these guys in the south had already known it, and they were the only ones who were kept in the dark.

However, apart from the Southern Electors, there are some other Electors with ambiguous attitudes. Upon closer inspection, these Electors are located on the border of the Empire and have been fighting against other races and Chaos forces for many years.

Ostland, Ostermarkland, and Hawkeland, which have been in a chaotic situation and threatened by foreign enemies for many years, have really seen the benefits after receiving Terra's weapons and equipment and the assistance of some demon hunters.

Terra's food and arms trade has saved them countless lives every year. More importantly, these things have made their rights more secure. They are more confident in facing their enemies and even have the opportunity to counterattack. Missionary work does not mean to deprive them of their rights as elects.

Even Sigmar or Karl Franz could not shake the system of the electors and their identities, as long as they did not betray the empire. This law was the foundation of the empire. If it was changed, the empire would disappear from this world. At this time, the ones who clearly opposed it were Nord, Midden, Talabek, and Styr. The number of votes against and in favor was almost the same, and everyone looked at Emile. The opinion of the high priest of the Church of Ulric, who had always been Sigmar's mortal enemy, was extremely important at this moment.

"High Priest Emil, I believe you don't want the faith of the Great Winter Wolf to be occupied by others, right?"

"Karl, this matter is too important for us mortals to decide on our own. I must ask the great Yurik for instructions." Emile ultimately did not agree to the proposal.

After hearing what Emil said, Carl and the others sighed. Although they had expected it, they were still a little disappointed.

"Please wait here for a few days, Electors. High Priest Emir will bring back the oracle soon."

The electors parted ways unhappily. Although they did not reach a consensus, the electors who agreed would still allow the Church of Terra to move in.

"Great Priest Wokma, I hope you can work with the great chanters to control the believers. I believe that not all believers will accept this."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty."

Emile and his men quickly returned to Middenheim, while Karl discussed with the electors on the same front what to do next.

But before long, the official was calling Carl anxiously outside the door.

"What happened? Why are you so flustered?"

"Your Majesty, something bad has happened! Something serious has happened! The White Wolf Knights of the Church of Yurik are fighting with the soldiers of Terra!!"

"What?! Prepare the horse! Take me there!"

At this time, in the temporary base of the Terra army in the suburbs of Altdorf, a group of young knights of the Church of Yurik, led by two official members of the Knights Templar, came to the outside of the Terra military camp.

Hot-blooded young people are always the easiest to incite, and the already existing dissatisfaction with Terra soon formed a wave under the instigation of those with ulterior motives. The Church of Yurik also has a huge temple in Altdorf, as well as an institution for selecting knights.

Hundreds of candidates and official members of the church knights headed towards Terra's military camp with weapons in hand.

At this time, there were already some people lying at the gate of the military camp, some of them were White Wolf Knights, but there were also Terra's soldiers.

"You are cowards who only know how to use weapons! Come! Come again! I can still fight!"

Three Terran soldiers were already lying next to a formal knight of the White Wolf Knights. Not all of Terra's soldiers were from the Astra Militarum, most of them were still just mortals, and there was still a gap between ordinary people and knights. In fact, the White Wolf Knights were not wrong about why Terra's army was so powerful, it was because of military discipline and powerful weapons and equipment.

But without weapons and equipment, Terra's ordinary soldiers had no advantage against these White Wolf Knights who were good at close combat.

The White Wolf Knight arrogantly challenged the Terra soldiers on the opposite side.

"You useless fellows, is this what the so-called God-Emperor taught you? The North is not a place for people like you. We can still fight those enemies without your weapons!"
