Warhammer in a box

Chapter 287 If this continues, the empire will change its name sooner or later

Everything in Marienburg has been put on track under precise calculations. After receiving the prescription, Sisselin also began his own research. The herbs in the medieval world are nothing to these biological sages who can transform the human body.

Ciserin quickly came to the conclusion that this prescription was indeed used to cure diseases, and that the herbs in it could be easily synthesized using biotechnology, so the same effect could be achieved without the herbs in the original prescription.

No matter what kind of plague Nurgle encounters, it would always be a good idea to mass-produce some medicines.

After dealing with the threat to Marienburg, the troops turned toward Hawke's territory.

The Terra communicators who stayed in Altdorf and the witchers near Middenland would send the battle situation back to Terra every day, which would be analyzed by the priests and the Military Affairs Department before being sent to Ludwig.

The war was brutal. Although the army of the Medieval Empire had also undergone a large-scale replacement of its equipment, it could not play a decisive role in the face of demons that were beyond the physical limits and could withstand new weapons.

Not to mention that the army of the Medieval Empire was at least two generations behind the Terran army.

The demons' leech lord Festus is also a guy who is good at using plague. The long-range attacks and magical damage he throws out in the game are amazing enough, and here, it will only be more exaggerated.

Faced with the threat of demons, each Elector lordship sent reinforcements as much as possible, but given the long journey, they could only hope that Karl's army could hold out until the reinforcements arrived.

However, the only advantage is that Carl controls the Empire's Magic Academy after all, and the mages inside who also have the support of divine symbols have become powerful forces.

At this time, on the border of Middenland, Ulric's knights and Sigmar's priests rarely put aside their prejudices and stood together.

The Empire's musketeers, spearmen, sword and shield soldiers have been replaced by soldiers holding automatic rifles, and the fighting style has also changed and begun to tend towards Terra's fighting style.

However, the artillery units under Carl's command, such as the fireworks cannon, are still the same. It's not that Carl doesn't want to replace them with powerful artillery such as Terra's earth-shaking cannon, but Terra itself does not have enough, and it is impossible to trade such weapons that may cause heavy casualties to itself to others.

Inside the trenches, Carl and his Rick Guards were patrolling the positions. The soldiers all looked unhappy. The fighting during this period had almost exhausted their will and bodies.

Sigmar's priests appeared scattered around the battlefield, casting divine spells to try their best to dispel the plague of Nurgle. A small number of doctors were feeding the soldiers with decoctions made from herbs.

Here, there are also hidden Nurgle doctors who suddenly attack and injure people. Fortunately, Carl has gathered a large number of priests and strong men under his command to suppress these sudden attacks.

However, it also planted a thorn in the hearts of the people, making them dare not fully trust these doctors who originally cured and saved lives, and the consequence was that the losses caused by the plague were even greater.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers are almost at their limit. The number of people in the wounded camp is increasing day by day, and our supplies are almost out of stock."

As the Imperial Marshal, Helberg also joined the war with Carl. The situation they faced at this time gave the veteran a headache. They tried to find Festus, but found that this guy was extremely cunning and had been hiding himself.

The fierce fighting had left the soldiers running out of ammunition, and the Medieval Empire itself did not have the strong logistical capabilities like Terra.

Some soldiers had to put down their automatic weapons and turn around to pick up spears and swords to fight the monsters in front of them.

Just when everyone was wondering how many casualties would be incurred in resisting the next attack of the Chaos Demons, the good news from the messenger lifted everyone's spirits!
"Your Majesty Karl! Your Majesty Karl! There is a battle report from Marienburg!!"

The messenger on a warhorse galloped over from a distance, and before the horse stopped, he turned over and handed the battle report to Carl. Carl opened the battle report with a heavy heart, hoping that it was not bad news, otherwise they might have to temporarily give up the north and return to help Altdorf.

However, the moment Carl opened the battle report, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then he handed the report to Helberg.

"These Terrans were able to resolve a Chaos threat of this magnitude so quickly. Terrible fighting power. It's a pity that Marienburg was completely destroyed."

"Yes, Helberg, at least this news can give us a sigh of relief. Although Marienburg was completely destroyed, the loss is staggering, but at least we don't have to worry about the problem of Reikland. And after the Terrans deal with the threat there, I believe they will soon support us here."

"Your Majesty, you seem to have changed."

"I have changed?" Hearing Helberg's words, Carl turned around and looked at him. He saw that Helberg's expression was particularly solemn. With a shudder, he seemed to understand what Helberg meant.

Carl's face was solemn. He found that ever since Terra had forcefully entered the empire, he had unknowingly developed a clear dependence on Terra.

Whether in terms of weapons and equipment or people's livelihood, Terra's influence on the empire is really too great.

Originally he was still trying his best to maintain the empire and resist Terra's invasion in another way, but after the great Sigmar spoke, he seemed to have given up.

Karl knew that if this continued, regardless of whether he was the nominal emperor or not, he would gradually and completely lose control of the empire until it was in name only.

On the one hand, there is his status as emperor, and on the other hand, there are countless human lives, which makes Carl difficult to make a decision for a while.

"The demons are attacking again!!!"

Alarms were sounded on the battlefield. The mosquitoes on the distant hillside seemed to cover the sky. Chaos raiders wearing heavy armor and a large number of Nurgle Daemons carrying plague-stricken people rushed down the hillside towards the human position.

The artillery on the human position began to fire, and the hilltop, which was already pockmarked by the bombing, became even more unbearable. Chaos Spawn, Venomous Rash Knights, and giant Nurgle Beasts, these behemoth units also appeared in Nurgle's army.

Several Plague Apostles and Nurgle fanatics were also on the hillside casting one devastating Nurgle spell after another at the human positions.

The gunfire and artillery fire on the position lasted only a short time this time. The soldiers found that they had run out of ammunition. Just when they had to pick up their swords and prepare to fight the Nurgle demons in close combat.

Loud wolf howls were heard, and hundreds of elite White Wolf Knights, under a tall figure, charged directly towards the Chaos army.

The tall figure was followed by a giant wolf. A blizzard appeared out of nowhere and instantly froze a phalanx of Nurgle army into ice sculptures. Ragnar rushed into the battlefield with his partner Death. The Nurgle beasts or Chaos Spawns were easily torn to pieces by the Frostfang Sword in his hand, and the Bolt Pistol in his hand accurately killed those Nurgle wizards.

The White Wolf Knights were even more excited as they looked at the chosen one of their faith, who looked like a god descending from heaven.

"Another Terran angel. Even Yurik has been infiltrated by them."

The sound of Ragnar chopping melons and vegetables made Carl even more powerless.
