Warhammer in a box

Chapter 341 Dragon Knight Selection
Some were satisfied and some were disappointed, but no matter what, Ludwig was successfully elected as the new Elector, and his territory, in addition to the current Terra, Sylvania was also assigned to Terra.

After all, if you throw this barren land to any other elector, it will become a burden that drags down the entire force, and only the people of Terra have the ability to utilize and build this land.

Ludwig also had plans for this piece of land. Since no one lived here, it would be a perfect testing ground. All dangerous or slightly blasphemous experiments could be carried out here without worrying about being discovered.

For example, the factory that exploits the dead as laborers.

There is also Siserlin's experiment in breeding giant dragons.

The dragon at this moment seemed to have been injected with hormones. Within two days, the original laboratory could no longer meet the needs of the daily growth of the same dragon.

Originally, Sisselin was still wondering where to put these big guys, and now he has found the place.

Huge, tightly sealed iron cages were carried out of the secret laboratory one by one.

Such a large convoy attracted the attention of many Terran civilians even at night.

But when people saw the logo of the Mechanicus or the Church printed on the convoy, they knew that this was not something they should know.

The Crusaders in the order next to the convoy, who were using Terra's most advanced weapons at the time, would also block anyone who tried to approach.

One by one, the iron boxes were loaded onto trains and quickly transported to Sylvania.

A simple fence has been built.

The iron boxes that were placed there were also opened one by one.

One after another, the "little" dragon cubs, whose heights were already taller than the trolls, ran out of the iron cages impatiently.

The collective release of more than a hundred giant dragons was shocking enough, but what was even more shocking was that these dragons were extremely intelligent after absorbing the divine blood.

There is no need for deliberate training or whipping for these dragons to understand what the priests mean.

They are even very close to the priests who raise them.

The golden dragons would stay beside the priests in charge and rub against their bodies, even giving people the illusion that they were raising a large pet!

But don’t be fooled by the well-behaved appearance of these dragons now. As long as these priests give an order, these dragons will show their violent side as dragons!
Even though it has not yet reached full adulthood, the power unleashed by such a giant dragon is already terrifying.

Their claws can easily tear through steel plates, and their bite force is even enough to threaten the armor of Chimera and Leman Russ tanks.

However, the most threatening thing is still their dragon flame. The temperature of the dragon flame spewed by the Golden Dragon is higher than that of the original giant dragon!

But what is more important is still the special attack against chaos.

In order to experiment with the dragons' ability to restrain chaos, many cultists became targets of the experiments.

And Sisselin also did something even more blasphemous, which was to allow the cultists to summon several demons to withstand the brunt of the dragon's flames.

The effect made Siserlin very satisfied!

But Sisselin didn't tell anyone about all this, not even Zhang Heng. If Sisselin's actions were known to the Inquisition led by Gerhardt or the nuns and monks of the church, she would definitely be held accountable and impeached.

But Sisselin thinks it's all worth it.

Looking at the giant dragon that would grow up completely in a short time, Sisselin also began to worry about another thing, that is, the selection of knights has not been settled yet!
Sisselin's request for the selection of dragon knights has been submitted, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs has also placed it on Ludwig's file.

Looking at Sisselin's proposal, Ludwig agreed without hesitation and allocated resources to it.

Not only was the selection conducted within the Empire, but the personnel selection documents also reached Bretonnia. Laun looked at the documents in his hand and was very satisfied. A dragon! Laun knew that Carl had a dragon in the zoo in Altdorf. Even if it was just one, it was still a dragon.

To be honest, Laun had been envious! Dragons were legendary creatures that almost no ordinary human could control, and now this huge pie had fallen on Bretonnia's head.

As a kingdom of knights, and also the country with the largest number of human air forces in the Old World, those Pegasus Knights and Vulture Knights are natural candidates!
After receiving the documents, Lawn immediately started the selection process.

For the Blood Knights who were far stronger than the Holy Grail Knights, the half-elf warhorses they originally rode could no longer meet their war needs.

Thanks to Zhang Heng's hard work, the number of Holy Blood Knights has reached 150. It will be difficult to increase the number of Holy Blood Knights in a short period of time.

Some of the Holy Grail Knights were not willing to fight for Bretonnia, but wanted to protect the world in their own way. They became hermits in various parts of Bretonnia.

And there are some people who are willing to fight for Barto but are unwilling to change their beliefs. It will take a lot of work to change these people's beliefs.

Laun decided to first select 50 Holy Blood Knights to be the knights of these dragons, and the remaining 20 places would be selected from the Pegasus and Vulture Knights. Laun planned to select the remaining ten places from the old nobles in Bretonnia, and the remaining 20 places would belong to the Empire!

Since the change of weapons and equipment, the status of traditional knights in Bretonnia has become lower and lower, and most wars can be resolved by infantrymen with guns and artillery.

However, those old nobles who had not yet been abolished lost the opportunity to gain military merit and promotion.

Lawen had heard the dissatisfied voices of these old nobles more than once, and he knew very well that if people did not have room for formal advancement, they would think of all kinds of crooked ways to improve their own and their family's status.

Over time, even if these people are not corrupted by Chaos, they will cause big trouble.

It is obviously impossible to completely abolish the original old nobility now. After all, Laun himself is still a noble. Let alone changing the nobles' ideas, even those who were originally serfs have not yet fully adapted to the current status of free people.

Reforming Bretonnia will only be more difficult than reforming the Empire.

And the Dragon Knight is exactly the opportunity that Lawn provides to these old nobles.

When the major families learned the news, the leaders and clan leaders of each noble family immediately summoned the best sons and daughters of their families.

These young people in the family didn't know what was going on. They only knew that their patriarch had issued the most urgent order, ordering them to put down whatever they were doing and rush to Coloni immediately.

In just three days, the best young people of Bretonnia gathered in Cologne.

Laun set the gathering place in the largest arena in Cologne. Bretonnia is a country that advocates martial virtues, and the knights' daily duels are also important activities and programs for the Bretonnians.

However, as the knight profession began to be eliminated in Bretonnia, the arena has not been open for a long time.

Today, Lawn stood at the highest point of the arena and looked at the young people in front of him and said solemnly: "Young men, I know that each of you is confused now! Do you feel that you are no longer important in the empire? The way of chivalry that you once pursued has drifted away from you."

Lawn's words stung the hearts of everyone present.

Looking at the people who didn't respond, Lawen continued.

"No! Not really. The most important thing about knightly virtue is not the knighthood, but the virtue. You are still practicing the oath you once made. In view of your persistence, the Emperor of God will give you unimaginable rewards!"

"Reward?" There were whispers from the audience.

"Each of you has the opportunity to become... a dragon rider!"

"What! Dragon Rider!"

Everyone present thought they had heard it wrong!
But after hearing Lawn's affirmative answer again, the entire arena was suddenly ignited!

This is something that no predecessor has ever successfully accomplished, and everyone is eager to try!
