Warhammer in a box

Chapter 39 Title and Fiefdom

When the soldier passed the message, Bayershazer had already arrived at Karl Franz's palace.

Arriving at the palace and pushing open the door of the meeting hall, a huge war sand table was placed in the hall, which showed the detailed terrain of the empire, the deployment of troops, and the enemies the empire was currently facing.

Karl Franz was a shrewd emperor. He used his strategies to unite the independent elector territories as much as possible. When he was elected as the emperor of mankind, he received votes from almost everyone, except Midden Territory, which was caused by the dispute between the Church of Ulric and the Church of Sigmar. In the end, he was elected without any controversy.

Most of the electors are willing to unite under the powerful emperor Karl to resist foreign enemies when necessary, but don't think that Karl is just a politician and diplomat, he is also a powerful human warrior. If diplomacy and politics can't work out, he will choose to solve the problem with his fists.

Hammer and his Reiksguards are there to let their enemies know whether they should listen to him or not.

In the meeting room, Carl was discussing the war situation with his generals and the church's combat priests.

Ulfric, a wanderer from the Norse barbarians in the north, has unified several Norse tribes and is gathering a huge barbarian army to try to invade the empire. His vanguard has begun to harass the coastline of the empire. These barbarians driving longboats fight and run away, which is very annoying. Even the port of Dites in Nordland is now under siege.

The Norse people have a powerful ruler again, which is something the empire does not want to see. These guys who believe in evil gods will cause great suffering to the people everywhere.

The Empire's team to aid Nordland has already set out, and I believe nothing will go wrong in the short term. However, this does not mean that the Empire can rest assured. More teams are gathering and heading to Nordland, preparing for a battle with these barbarians.

Seeing his own Mage Academy Dean, Bayer Shazer, coming in, Carl greeted him enthusiastically. The Mage Academy was a major support for him to rule the empire! And Bayer Shazer was also his supporter.

"Baiershaze, I heard that Thor County encountered a tide of beastmen? The reinforcements are ready, why are you here?"

"Your Majesty, the beastman crisis has been resolved!"

"So fast? You are worthy of being me, Bayershazer. Did Sol Territory suffer a great loss this time?"

"It's OK. Aside from the death of some soldiers and the destruction of several villages, nothing serious happened."

"Very good, the barbarians in the north have just started their looting again, and it's giving me a headache." Carl looked down at the sand table again.

"Your Majesty, I also brought good news!" Bayershazer continued.

"Good news? Hahaha, tell me about it. Recently there have been only military reports asking for help. I haven't heard good news for a long time!" Bayershazer's words also aroused Carl's interest.

"The harbinger of disaster, Malagor Dark Summoner, was killed in this invasion!"

As soon as Bayershazer said this, the entire meeting hall fell silent, and the church members and officials who had been silent on the sidelines exclaimed in unison.

"What? Malago was killed by you? Sigmar, Bayershazer, this is more than good news! I have to inform the whole country of this victory!!" Carl said immediately.

The death of a legendary beastman is enough to excite the whole country!
This is more direct than killing tens of thousands of beastmen.

"Sir Bayershazer! Are you sure it is Malago?" asked the great chanter Leonardo.

"That's right, I've brought the body here! Someone, bring the body up!"

As two soldiers brought up the cart carrying Malago's mutilated body, everyone in the hall gathered around.

When everyone saw Malago's body with their own eyes, there was another gasp. Malago's image has been recorded by the church.

"It really is it! Oh my God, Sigma! Who killed him? His death is too tragic!"

"Sir Bayersaze, you are worthy of being the dean of the Mage Academy. Your name deserves to be praised. On behalf of the Church of Sigmar, I thank you for your contribution!" said Leonardo.

"I didn't do it." "Ah? If not you, who else could have enough power? Could it be another apprentice in your academy?"

Everyone couldn't believe their ears.

"It was a general under my command named Ludwig who chopped off Malago's head with his own hands!" Bayershazer continued.

"Ludwig? Who is this? Has anyone heard of him? Which big family is he from?"

When everyone heard the name Ludwig, they looked at each other, only to find that there was no such person in their memory.

"Baiershazer, who is Ludwig?" Karl couldn't help but ask.

"He is not from a big family, but just an ordinary general. One of the reasons why I came here this time is for him. I believe that the merit of killing Malago is enough to earn him a noble title and territory!

Your Majesty, the empire needs to reward those who have made contributions. I will seek the title of earl for him and grant him Briston and several surrounding towns!"

But Bayershazer's words immediately aroused opposition.

"This is against the rules, Lord Bayershazer! The empire hasn't bestowed the title of earl for a long time, and that is a fiefdom! This is too hasty." Some officials said immediately.

"Humph! If it was just a few tens of thousands of orcs, or a beast tide, I would never make such a request. But everyone! Haven't many of our compatriots died at the hands of Malagor? If such a powerful minion of Chaos can't do it, what do you think can do it? Is it to completely eliminate the orcs? Or to take back Sylvania? Or to rush Marienburg into the Empire's territory?"

There was a lot of gunpowder in Bairshazer's words.

"You...you! Lord Bairshazer, what we mean is that his qualifications are still too shallow! We are afraid that we will not be able to convince the public if we divide him like this!"

Just as Bayershazer was about to continue speaking, Carl stopped him.

"Alright, stop arguing! Do you think this is a pub?!"

Everyone quieted down after hearing Karl's tone.

"Baiershazer, I agree with what you said, but what they said also makes sense! After all, they have never seen what kind of person Ludwig is, including me.

I can grant him fiefdom first, but this general named Ludwig must also make more contributions.

Just in time for the honor, you ask him to come to Altdorf! I will knight him myself.

At this moment, the Empire is facing another war. I need more capable people to reduce the losses. Let him take his soldiers with him, and they will serve as reinforcements for your Sol Territory to support Nord Territory this time!" Carl said directly.

Bayershazer didn't expect this to happen. After all, he had no intention of bringing Ludwig and others to the table.

Seeing that his great wizard seemed to be hesitant to speak, Carl immediately spoke to everyone.

"All of you please leave. I have something to discuss with Bayershazer alone. We haven't seen each other for a long time and we need to catch up."

Although everyone was very reluctant, they still answered one by one.

"As you wish, Your Majesty!"
