Warhammer in a box

Chapter 339 Public Opinion War

Vulkan and Ferrus immediately headed towards the forge at the base of Eight Peaks Mountain.

The follow-up troops of Terra also received the news that Sylvania had been recaptured, and soon the follow-up troops followed.

The propaganda departments of the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will not miss such a great publicity opportunity.

Almost at the same time, a large amount of propaganda materials were printed and posted on the streets of almost every town and village in the empire.

The news spread like a whirlwind to every corner of the empire.

The civilians only knew that Sylvania was a land of death and that no living person could walk out of it. But now this land, which had been separated from the empire for a long time, has completely returned to the embrace of the empire.

Ludwig, the hero who made the empire whole again!
The return of Marienburg and Sylvania allowed the Human Empire to regain its final territory.

Carl was holding a document from the Terra Military Department requesting a reward.
"In view of Count Ludwig's indelible achievements, I implore Your Majesty to give him a reward commensurate with his merits!"

Carl rubbed his temple. The Military Affairs Department was forcing him to make some decisions that went against his ancestors. If they only gave him some material things or promoted his title, he would probably be scolded to death by the public opinion guided by Terra.

Karl could see that the Terrans wanted him to raise Ludwig's status to the same level as that of an Elector, or even to make him an Elector directly.

Everyone knows Terra's heart, and the troubling thing is that he is supported by most people.

Marienburg, Sylvania, this is something that no emperor or elector has ever accomplished.

Next to Terra's documents, there was a letter from Bretonnia.

The letters inside gave Carl even more headaches.

How come Laun, who once shared the same ambitions with him and even admired him, is now completely in cahoots with Terra?

Among the letters from Bretonnia was a letter from Laun himself.

The content of the letter was roughly that Ludwig was awesome and also hoped that Karl would give him enough rewards. Laun admired Ludwig's talents very much and if Ludwig was willing, he would be willing to make Ludwig the king of a duchy.

Of course Karl knew that it was impossible for Ludwig to really go to Bretonnia to be king. After all, Ludwig's roots were in Terra.

The nobles might be able to see the intention, but if Lawen were to publicize the contents of this letter among the people of the empire whose faith was beginning to widely lean towards the God-Emperor.

Then the common people of the empire might denounce him as the king.

Look at our neighbors who are willing to let Lord Ludwig, a person from another country, be the king, but our own emperor is stingy. Is this appropriate? Obviously not.

This was the first time that Carl experienced the pressure from public opinion.

While Terra was carrying out industrial reforms, it was also promoting education on a large scale. The increasingly developed communications made public opinion a real weapon, and literacy rate loaded bullets for this weapon. After all, only educated workers could do better and understand public opinion. Education and literacy rate also made the ignorant civilians begin to awaken. They could read and would not be easily deceived by the nobles, and they could also express their ideas through words.

People felt their own will.

Under Terra's guidance, the Church of Terra also began to march on the streets with its believers. At this time, there were more than one million believers of the God-Emperor in the entire empire. Faced with such a large-scale march and public opinion, Carl had to sign an order.

That is to propose Ludwig to become the new elector of the empire. The southern Weisen and Ivy Territory are almost becoming the back garden of Terra, and the two electors were forced to agree to this proposal. The electors in the north who mainly believe in Yurik, even the White Wolf God Chosen are Terra's people, let alone opposition, even if they are dissatisfied in their hearts, but they have agreed under the lobbying of the White Wolf Church.

The White Wolf Church said that having a powerful Elector as an ally would give it more advantages in choosing emperors in the future, and would also allow the White Wolf Church to have more say in the empire.

Sigma is indeed a selfless person and did not let the Church of Sigma stop the development of this matter.

Only the Electors of Talabek and Styr expressed opposition, but the opposition of these two Electors alone was not enough to affect the final result.

When the Emperor's order reached Terra, the whole of Terra was plunged into a sea of ​​carnival, but there was still a lack of a meeting of all the Electors.

Ludwig and Rebecca sat on the top of the tower that Terra was building higher and higher. They looked at the singing and dancing below and were very excited.

All this is the gift of the Emperor, but it is also inseparable from their efforts.

"Ludwig, Karl has qualified you to be the elector. Next, we should work hard to push you to the position of emperor. You are worried about how to deal with Karl. There is no need to feel psychologically stressed. Everything we do is selfless and is to help mankind survive the final wave of destruction."

"I know Rebecca. Carl can be called a good emperor. Even if he steps down from that position, he will continue to hold an important position and continue to fight for humanity."

"That's fine, I've already issued an order to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Chamber of Commerce, and even all assassins and spies. They will let the electors elect you as emperor."

"Very good. Also, let Belegar inform Thorgrim to bring people to the Empire. The God-Emperor told me that Nagash will not give up so easily. He is still a great threat. The God-Emperor told us two targets. One is the remains left by the dwarf ancestor Valaya, the Valaya Gate, and the other is the forces further south called the Tomb Kings. There is a magical creation called the Black Pyramid, but the Tomb Kings are hostile to Nagash. So the most likely target he is looking for is the Valaya Gate. In order to restore his strength, he must go back. We must not let him escape a second time."

"I'll make arrangements right away."

After receiving the news, Belegar immediately found Thorgrin, who was very excited after hearing the news.

That is their god and their ancestor. Even if they do not stop the Naga from desecrating their ancestors, the Gate of Valaya has always been what the dwarves want to find. After all, it is said that only by opening Valaya can the dwarves have a chance to return to their golden age.

Even though the Dwarves were currently short of manpower, they still dispatched an army and immediately began to rush towards the Empire. Thorgrim and Belegar also gave up staying in Eight Peaks Mountain. After all, there were Vorkan and Ferrus in Eight Peaks Mountain, so there was no need to worry about being captured. In addition, they had the geographical advantage and weapons again, and there was no force nearby that could capture Eight Peaks Mountain.

Thorgrim, Belegar, and the Butcher King Agrim, these three gathered together, which can be regarded as a gathering of half of the legendary lords of the dwarves.

And what Zhang Heng guessed was correct. Under the magic teleportation, Nagash and his other two servants were teleported to the mountains near Sylvania where dwarves and orcs gathered.

Nagash felt very aggrieved. He had never had such a disadvantageous start before.

"My Lord! Neferata has another piece of good news. It is the ruins of the dwarf Valaya! There! You will definitely be able to regain the strength to restore your body again!!"

But Neferata had already gotten into the thief's car and couldn't get out. Facing Nagash's gaze, she crouched as low as possible.

"Arkhan is right. I already know the approximate location of the Valaya Gate! We will be able to restore your strength soon!"

"Hmph, I hope you didn't lie to me. If you can't find it, there's no need for you to exist!"

But this time, what Mr. Na might be waiting for might be an ambush set up specifically for him.
