Chapter 109 One Hundred Nine Reinforcements from the Emperor (Subscribe)
Emperor Karl Franz once again united the provinces, and at the suggestion of the emperor, more than half of the provincial electors took the opportunity to sign the generally agreed non-aggression pact, a loose covenant.
The Electors are still autonomous. Once a large-scale Chaos invasion occurs, all the Electors will unite to fight the enemy together, and the Covenant stipulates that the provinces must not rashly confront each other.
This means that a few months ago, the tense situation of the three-month confrontation between the troops of Midden and Rek on the coast of Kronborg was gone forever. Unexpectedly, Boris, the Elector of the White Wolf, chose to acquiesce to the regulations and put the seal of the Duke of Kronborg family on the precious gilt parchment.
For a long time, the phenomenon of civil war in the human empire has been further eased.
More than half of the provinces facing the threat of Chaos, especially the northern provinces, the electors urgently need stability and order.
After the imperial parliament ended, the electors quickly returned to their respective territories. They responded extremely quickly. After a large number of military rations supported by Aiwei and Mute were in place, a large number of troops from the southern provinces immediately went to the northern Xinjiang. The knight commanders of the Grand Knights also issued edicts of war one after another. In just three days, dozens of knight companies gathered in the records.
The time comes to the year 2503 of the imperial calendar, early September.
The southern town of Mjordenheim, the southern town of Midenland in the north, in the wilderness on the outskirts of the city, Imperial Emperor Karl Franz was leading his imperial guards to advance rapidly.
The emperor himself rode an imperial pegasus, an excellent mount domesticated by the Royal Zoo, which could fly from Rick to Sessenmond in Nordland in one day and night. protection.
Rick collared the rune teeth and the sword of the dragon teeth, hanging from the waist of Karl Franz's silver seal plate. The flags were clanging, the lances were like forests, and countless red and white irises were blowing in the wind. Rick knights held their heads high and followed His Majesty the Grand Prince who devoted their lives to them. Rick's leading wealth was second to none in these arrogant and powerful knights.
The emperor's personal champion warrior Ludwig still rides his war horse and guards the right side. The dazzling and deep dark-gold plate armor shocks everyone's eyes. He is also beside the emperor, and the "colleague" who is constantly competing with the champion warrior, Rick Marshal Heilberg's sword followed the emperor's left, and the sword of resentment, the holy sword of the former Elector of Solling, flashed brightly,
"We still need to march faster. Midden's army has been assembled in Middenheim. As the emperor, but behind one of the electors, what will the people of Nord think of us?" Karl Furlan Z and Marshal Rick beside him laughed.
"Your Majesty, the land and population actually controlled by Midden collar are extremely limited. The road in the north is not as flat and spacious as in the south. The knights travel day and night, and we are already advancing at full speed." , looked at Ludwig on the emperor's side: "About 40% of the Rick-led army has not yet crossed the Rick River. The northern war is at a stalemate. We have a long period of time to rectify the march."
"Of course, of course." Karl Franz nodded, smiling slightly.
He knew that he was a little too hasty. As a person in power, this was the most taboo. The number of Imperial Guards behind him was less than 3,000, most of whom were Knights of the Knights and Imperial Knights. , this is also very dangerous.
It took four days to cross the Reik River to Mjordenheim, and the marching speed was as fast as thunder.
This is one of the few times he has officially come to Middenland since he was an adult. The grievances between the North and the South and the election of the emperor have made the factions represented by Karl Franz and Boris Todbringer hostile to each other. , His Majesty the Emperor really did not expect that he would be able to obtain the short-term military access right of Midenland in the second year of his election.
Thinking of this, Karl Franz's brave and resolute face showed a smile.
Only when you come to the north of the poor and backward empire can you truly realize the richness and charm of Rickland.
Even if Karl Franz has always adhered to the concept of equality of empires, and now he sees the desolate and remote no-man's land covering a large area of black forests, mountains, swamps, etc., he can't help but feel the prosperity of Rick Land from his heart. Proud, not to mention the smug look of the Tirek Guards, these Imperial knights raised their chins and looked at the people of the North and their armies with the eyes of a hillbilly.
The leader of the Golden Academy, the great alchemist, Baiershaze Geert, also rode the pure-colored Pegasus named Xun Yin and walked beside the emperor. Five slender spikes in a circle poked around, and the bottles and jars collided under a dark golden robe, making him even more inscrutable.
Neither Marshal Rick nor the Emperor Champion Warrior will underestimate the amazing strength of this metal mage. They have witnessed the ultimate alchemy of Baiershaze Geert in the battle of the blood pine forest. The scene of man turning into gold.
Compared with the Royal Chief Great Sorcerer, the Fire Mage, Senus Gehrman, the imperial army and generals prefer to work together with the Great Alchemist. Metal spells are more difficult to cause unnecessary casualties. On the contrary, metal mages can strengthen the armor of soldiers and turn the armor of the enemy into a cloud of lead water.
Most of the Rick guards and the Rick leader army have seen the great alchemist's magic spell, the metal torrent, hundreds of metal fragments fell from the sky, bombarded the enemy's army, leaving a large fragment of fragments. Dismembered remains.
On the way, the emperor had a lot of exchanges with Bershaze Geert.
In the past two years, many important suggestions on military and political matters have also been put forward by a rational great alchemist. His meticulous and rigorous logical thinking has won the admiration of many imperial scholars.
"My great alchemist, do you think the marching speed is fast or slow?" Karl Franz said towards the dark golden figure beside him after taking a look around the wilderness scenery.
"Neither fast nor slow, Your Majesty, this is my opinion." A metallic rubbing voice came from under the mask, without any mood swings.
"Well, can you explain my confusion?" The emperor noticed the change in the latter's gaze and became interested. He intended to have a few more conversations with Geert.
, "Of course, my majesty." Bershaze Geert's tone was very flat, aside from his strange voice, several people around the emperor also paid attention: "Whether from a strategic point of view or cumbersome logistics, our The marching speed is just right, and generally speaking, the Norsca go south to plunder, and the barbarians are for wealth, food, and slaves that can be driven, and their own chaotic existence is doomed to the rapid development of the war."
The Great Alchemist paused, noticed the eyes of Marshal Rick and others, and continued: "The first point is that according to the information we know, after the Norsca broke the port of Diets, they rarely stopped. The pace of the southward movement lasted as long as a week. Therefore, if the Norsca High King Vamir Eslyn had some dangerous purpose, he would have to accumulate his strength, and at the same time control the southward port and protect the warriors of the northern wasteland, It is continuously sent to Nordland through dragon boats."
"I understand what you mean, great alchemist." Karl Franz pondered for a while, then continued: "This time, the main purpose of the Norsca warlord going south is not for the wealth and slaves of the past, but for other purposes. , so I changed the tactics and concealed the strength just like us."
"I'm impressed by your wisdom, my majesty." Geert said with a mask on, and there was no reverence in his words, and the sound of metal friction sounded again: "The second point is that the southern province of the empire supports the The army moves more slowly and is divided into three parts. The Wesson, Rick, and Ivey troops will accompany the Rick fleet and arrive at the mouth of Westerland through the Rick River, and surround Dieters in a roundabout way. Port, the army of Tarabek, Hawke, and Midden will enter the Nord Kingdom through Middenheim's main road. Finally, Osterland, Ostermark, and Steele will bypass the central mountains. Enter from the right side of Nord Kingdom."
"It seems that the imperial army will form a siege and gradually divide the active range of the Norse people, but in fact, the marching speed in the three directions is not unique. The monstrous fighting spirit of the barbarian army, strategically, if we slow down our movement, the offensive momentum will be easier." The Great Alchemist said truthfully.
"In the current situation, we must step up time to support Sesenmonde and help the Nords to defend their provincial capital. If Sesenmonde falls, the entire Nord will collapse." The Emperor fell into thinking: "After all, according to the news from the scouts, Sesenmonde has been surrounded by seven thousand Norsca people and is in danger of falling at any time."
"We can defeat the army in the northern wasteland. There is no doubt, Your Majesty. The difference is only the number of casualties and the cost. The fall of Sesenmonde is also part of the price that the empire can sacrifice, including all the defenders." Ershaze Geert's remarks are full of absolute rationality, and even some are almost ruthless: "The chances of winning against barbarians that are several times their own are very slim, my majesty, the White Wolf Elector will not sit idly by, So, we just need to send a part of the army to support Midden's army."
"Waiting for the arrival of the provincial armies in the south, the victory of the empire will be at hand."
"Of course, the right to decide lies with you, my majesty." These were the last words of the great alchemist.
Karl Franz was hesitant, and his old military literacy allowed him to quickly judge the best choice. However, due to the emperor's duty to protect the empire and all Charlemagne's children, he could not bear to watch the Nord people suffer from the barbarians. Butcher knife.
"Heilberg, what do you think?" The emperor asked Marshal Xiang Xiang, a powerful warrior over ninety years old who was fully armed and experienced hundreds of battles. In terms of military command, the entire empire was unparalleled.
"My Majesty, Sesenmonde is insignificant compared to the gains and losses of the entire northern border of the empire." Marshal Rick maintained his loyalty and respect to the emperor himself: "In my opinion, the white wolf **** of war in the north and Charlemagne the Great. , will bless them and bring a glimmer of life to that city."
The emperor's two courtiers agreed to wait for the opportunity. Karl Franz had absolute trust in them and understood that they were all for the interests of the empire and the emperor himself.
“叏法法~~”
The noisy hooves of horses sounded, and an expedition pistol scout rode on a ranger, galloping fast, he turned over and dismounted, quickly took out a rolled up letter, and handed it to the emperor respectfully.
The emperor's personal champion warrior Ludwig opened the letter and said: "Your Majesty, the army assembled by the Church of the White Wolf is heading to Sessenmond. The Emir Pope of the 'Great Uric' chooses to personally support the Nords. The pious capital of the city, the Knights of the White Wolf even made a **** oath."
The emperor, who had a very keen political sense, instantly realized that at this sensitive point, the White Wolf Church's attitude towards the emperor was very important.
The contradiction between the northern sect and the southern sect, Karl Franz has been using his influence and political wisdom since his coronation to try to reconcile the delicate opposition between the two sides.
War can bring more than endless pain. The sharp blade will split the stalemate, unite the divided forces, and reverse the decadent situation. The emperor knows what this means in his heart.
"This is an opportunity, Your Majesty, the relationship between you and Urik's followers will be improved." Belshaze Geert immediately gave his own advice.
"Yes, this is a chance. A very good chance." The emperor took the wax-sealed letter from the guards. Even after a long march, his face did not show a tired look. Just like the emperor himself, he was very concerned about the Empire of Humanity. His enthusiasm and love for the Empire never tires, which makes Karl Franz much loved by the people of the Empire.
He opened the envelope and looked at it for a few moments. After a while, the emperor raised his head in high spirits. His sharp eyes were full of emotional fluctuations. Chosen?"
"He was in Middenheim, waiting for the order of Boris, Elector of the White Wolf. I think the only two important people in this war have been found."
"Boris Todblinger will never know what existence he has missed." Karl Franz showed a look of joy, and he immediately ordered: "The magic message is sent to the Elector of Ivy, Marius Redolf, Let him speed up the sailing of the fleet and encircle Diets Harbor in advance!"
"Yes! Your Majesty."
The day's march has not yet ended, the marching horn sounded, and the well-trained Imperial Guards passed through the wilderness of Mjordenheim extremely quickly. The queue is neat and tidy.
The Emperor will go to the battlefield of Sessenmonde.
