Warhammer in a box

Chapter 384 Negotiations failed
The Chaos army continued to march south, brutally slaughtering any Kislevite villages and tribes along the way without leaving a single one alive.

The people of Kislev are very brave. No matter how powerful the enemy is, they will fight against the enemy while shouting the name of the motherland and the bear god Ursun.

But bravery did not save them from failure. The men fought, and when they found themselves unable to resist, the women and children took a small amount of supplies and set foot on the snowfield to seek shelter in larger cities.

After learning that Kislev was under attack, a large number of Kislevites who had been mercenaries in the Empire and their proud Winged Hussars returned to Kislev from the Empire to defend their country.

Among these winged cavalry there are also messengers from Terra.

"Lugerkins, are you sure you can let me see the Tsarina?"

The speaker was another Kislevite named Shinsov, a relative of Otto's captain of the guard.

After his personal guards died in battle, Otto brought all of their people to the empire and trained them to serve as diplomatic personnel with Kislev.

And they did not disappoint Otto. The identity of the Kislevites made it easier for them to come into contact with their own people. And Shinsov's mission was to communicate with the Tsarine and seek cooperation before the imperial army officially entered Kislev, so as not to cause unnecessary conflicts after the imperial army entered Kislev.

When this cavalry unit entered Kislev, they found that panic had begun to spread. It seemed that the news from the front had already reached the rear.

Every household has someone who can fight and is making preparations.

And with Lugerkins' introduction, Shinsov met Karina who was mobilizing for war.

As a former Kislev woman, Shinsov couldn't help swallowing his saliva when facing this once-famous tsarina.

Katerin, who looked intimidating without even getting angry, walked up to Shinsov.

"Your name is Shinsov? Go ahead... Since Luggins once fought for me, I'll give you two minutes."

"Great Tsarina, the Empire has learned that the Chaos Legion has returned again. Your people are suffering. I come with the sincerity of the great God-Emperor and Sigmar. The Empire can send troops to help you resist Chaos. I hope you will not regard them as enemies."

Shinsoff said.

But he originally thought that Katerin would not refuse such conditions. After all, Kislev had a lot of exchanges with the Empire. However, he felt a biting chill, and even though he was wearing heavy clothes, he could not prevent the chill from penetrating into his body.

"Shinsof, you should be a Kislevite too, right?"

"Yes, Queen."

"Then why did you choose to join the empire? Have you abandoned your motherland?!" Catherine's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Feeling the threat to his life, Shinsov immediately stood up, and the Terra soldiers who came with him to protect him immediately stopped hiding and drew their guns and pointed them at Katielin!

"Queen, I came here with good intentions, what do you mean now?!"

"Are you speaking in a tone that is meant to inform me? This is my country! Have I ever allowed you to set foot on this land? Do you think I don't know about the little tricks that the so-called Terra has been doing in private? You are corrupting my people with money and various materials! You are making them abandon the great bear god Ersun! Abandon their own motherland!"

After listening to Katerin's words, Shinsov finally understood why Katerin had such an attitude. She thought that the Empire had begun to threaten her rule! "Queen, I think you worry too much. All this is for humanity. Is it wrong for us to give weapons and food? Are the bullets that kill the enemy and the food that eats the stomachs of the hungry people fake? Queen, this time the power of Chaos is far beyond your and my imagination. It is impossible to stop it with Kislev's own power as before!"

Shinsov tried his best to speak, but in fact, Katerin was right in one point. Terra did bribe many nobles in Kislev with materials. Originally, the southern part of Kislev was pro-empire, but with the efforts of various materials and money, some nobles agreed to put forward more political views that were beneficial to Terra in the Ice and Snow Royal Court of Kislev in the future.

"Get out! Shinsov, you don't deserve to call yourself a Kislevite! Kislev will once again defeat the Chaos conspiracy under my leadership!"

Katerin ordered him to leave, and not killing Shinsov directly was the last bit of her patience.

Seeing that Shinsov had made up her mind, he knew that saying anything more now would only anger the tsarina who didn't even know what kind of enemy she was facing.

He had no choice but to withdraw from the Ice and Snow Royal Court with his guards.

"Send a message to Terra, negotiations have failed!"

"Lord Shinsov, what should we do? Return to the Empire now?!"

“Go back?! No! Whether the Tsarina agrees or not, our army will intervene. We can’t just watch Chaos capture Kislev. The entire northern defense line of the empire will face unimaginable threats. Whether Catherine agrees or not, I must save my homeland! Now I believe in the God-Emperor and have joined the Empire, but that doesn’t mean I have to watch my former homeland being completely destroyed!”

Shinsoff continued.

"So what should we do next, my Lord?"

"Contact the Chamber of Commerce and ask them to open the secret warehouse! Then contact the Kislev nobles under our control! Send out all the food and war supplies! Put these things in the hands of the soldiers. One more weapon may save one life!"

"My Lord! I think you know better than me how many things there are in the secret warehouses throughout Kislev! There are still some things in there that the Military Affairs Department has not allowed to be handed over to the people of Kislev!"

"So what?! Are we going to wait for Chaos to come and let these things rot in the warehouse?! What's the point? Regardless of whether the Military Affairs Department agrees or not, Lord Otto has the trade authorization granted by the Divine Emperor himself. We have the right to make some emergency decisions without the Military Affairs Department and the Ministry of Internal Affairs! I will apply to Lord Otto afterwards!"

"Yes, sir! I'll do it right away!"

Under Shinsov's order, the secret warehouse was opened, and the Kislev nobles who were close to Terra were informed of the location. The weapons in the warehouse were no longer those that had been eliminated, but some that were well-maintained and more powerful. Even some artillery pieces were pulled out of these warehouses.

However, those nobles who were unaware of the situation discovered that after one night, there were mysterious weapon boxes piled up in the square. These weapons seemed to have appeared suddenly, with only a note left on them saying that these were weapons used to fight against Chaos.

The Military Affairs Department also received the message sent back by Shinsov.

Ludwig looked at the contents speechlessly.

"Foolish rulers, you are still greedy for worldly power at this time. Command the army, don't worry too much. If Lady Kislev takes the initiative to attack, then fight back! Any behavior that affects the elimination of Chaos must be punished. Purifying Chaos always comes first!"

Ludwig's order was quickly passed on to all troops. With Ludwig's endorsement, the vanguard troops directly crossed the border and entered the territory of Kislev.
