The first thousand one hundred and eighty-six chapters
The appearance of Woten caused great turmoil. The civilians in the empire shouted "The savior has returned", "Charlemagne has returned in times of crisis", "His Majesty Ludwig still remembers his subjects", and a large number of religious troops
, priests, minor nobles, merchants and civilians joined Woten's team and headed towards Brunswick.
This put a lot of pressure on the dignitaries of the empire. A total of forty-eight imperial electors, parliamentarians, generals, and nobles met in the parliament. The dignitaries were frightened and panicked. Many people knew their noble titles and status.
Where did the manor come from? Who can say that he is clean? Who can say that he has no stains?
The Empire is different from Britannia. Britannia has gods watching over it. The knights can boldly say that yes, our land was given to us by the lady. If you don’t believe me, check your family tree. Her Highness the Lake God Witch has certified it.
, but it is more difficult for the empire to prove it.
One of the most fierce opponents was Esme III, who had just returned to Brunswick and declared the interim archbishop and took over all authority. The acting archbishop publicly declared Luther Huss a heretic and the army was a "heretic army."
", Woten is just a liar, and his existence has not been recognized by the gods.
But this was difficult, because every priest who went to read the Archbishop's will declared allegiance to him after seeing Woten's miracles.
What is even more surprising is the sophistication shown by Woten. When he was only a few days away from Brunswick, he did not rush to march, but spent a few days slaughtering all the beastmen in the nearby Black Forest.
After gaining great popularity among the people, they slowly drove into the city of Brunswick.
Tens of thousands of fanatical Woten followers were disappointed to see the city gates tightly closed. The defenders were trembling with fear. They didn't know what to do when faced with the "reincarnated human emperor" in front of them. They could only constantly emphasize that this was an order from the imperial court.
, Luther Huss came up excitedly to intimidate, but Woten asked Luther Huss to step back. The young blacksmith just sighed and said: "Destiny has extended its hand to Karl Franz's empire.
Let’s see if he can grab a helping hand.”
The arrival of Woten further intensified the fierce quarrels in the imperial court. The rulers argued endlessly about whether the blacksmith of Bad Smile Village was the reincarnation of the Emperor.
Ryan smiled bitterly and shook his head when he saw this. In fact, judging from the miracles that appeared on Woten, it was unlikely to be a fake. After all, showing a miracle once is a liar. Showing a miracle twice is a liar. What about showing it three times? Four times five
What about this time? Woten, a blacksmith who is only in his twenties, possesses the strength of the Holy Realm and the fire of the twin-tailed comet that symbolizes the Human Emperor. Isn't it already obvious whether he is the reincarnation of the Human Emperor?
Seeing that the one with the strongest opposition was Emilia, the Empress of the Empire, Ryan couldn't help but laugh.
Emilia still can't see through it.
Also, my little maid has been planning her whole life for her son to ascend to the throne of emperor. Now that Frederick has taken over the throne, he is waiting for Karl Franz to abdicate, but Woten appears halfway!
The intelligence from Aurora showed that Emilia cursed Luther Huss in the Imperial Council as a "greedy country bumpkin", "a liar who pretends to be a ghost", "a conspiracy to subvert the empire", and "a bastard born of the conspiracy of the Chaos Cult"
.
The imperial court quarreled for three days, and Woten also waited outside for three days. Seeing that the imperial court could not reach an agreement, finally Luther Huss couldn't help it.
After Wei witnessed the miracle on Woten with his own eyes, he finally made the Rick guard suffer a mental breakdown and opened the city gate. The remaining Rick guards tried to stop him but it was too late.
Woten did not blame Luther Hus for taking his own initiative, but went straight into the Imperial Palace, where he met Emperor Karl Franz and the imperial dignitaries who were half brave and half embarrassed.
Karl Franz faced his most difficult problem ever.
Obviously, if Woten is the reincarnation of the Human Emperor, then he certainly has the right to take back his empire. However, whether it is from the interests of the empire, the interests of his family, or his personal interests, Karl Franz cannot bring the old world back to the throne.
It makes no sense emotionally or logically for the throne of the most powerful country and empire to be handed over to a little blacksmith with unknown origins. Many families and the allies of Prince Franz's family will not recognize Woten.
But if the emperor denies that Warten is on the side of Acting Archbishop Esme III, then obviously the empire will immediately split on the spot, and many people will choose to side with Warten. Those powerful men with heavy troops will not be there.
They all dedicate their loyalty at this time. When the northern army presses the border, the empire will prepare for a civil war.
Ryan narrowed his eyes and nodded. It seemed that no matter which side he chose, the empire would be torn apart.
This is almost an unsolvable problem, and Ryan is thinking carefully about the countermeasures.
If it were you, how would you deal with this "Woten" that appeared out of thin air?
He continued to read, and soon, Ryan was impressed by Karl Franz's political skills.
Kahuang used his political wisdom and decades of palace experience to the limit, and very calmly motioned for Wo Teng to talk to him. The blacksmith did not come up and demand that the emperor must be passed on to him, but he also did not deny that he was the reincarnation of the Emperor.
, he just told the emperor that he was waiting for his decision.
After thinking about it, Karl Franz immediately announced that Woten was indeed sent to the mortal world by the Emperor to save the empire.
At the same time, a series of personnel appointments were immediately issued.
He gave the divine hammer Gale-Malaz to Woten, and declared Woten to be the chosen champion of Charlemagne, the religious leader of the empire, alongside the emperor.
Luther Hus was appointed as Warten's mentor, responsible for teaching Warten.
Announced the formation of the "Charlemagne Army" with Wotten as the core, and placed part of the imperial provincial army and religious army under Woten for his command.
Mathieu, an outstanding bureaucrat trained by Braunschweig itself, was selected as Woten's consultant, responsible for answering all bureaucratic questions and providing all help within his ability.
Finally, after a certain reorganization, the "Charlemagne's Army" rode as quickly as possible to Talabheim, where Woten and his army needed to be rescued.
Then send Alfred back to Britannia. The Great Chanter's holy war has ended and it's time to go home.
"Karl Franz is indeed my confidant!" Ryan couldn't help but admire.
The emperor's move was indeed clever. He seemed to have made a lot of concessions and transferred some of his power.
But what about actually?
The emperor firmly held his own base. Not only did his royal guards and standing army remain intact, but he also controlled the religious forces that were in chaos due to the disappearance of Archbishop Vicmar, and did not give Woten any chance to challenge the existing bureaucracy.
Opportunities for the system to reach out.
Emilia even stated that Nur's artillery would not obey Woten's command, and then the Imperial Baroness left angrily.
"Interesting, it's so interesting!" Ryan patted his thigh and laughed.
After being promoted to demigod, Ryan suddenly felt some kind of change.
His thinking began to change. He seemed to... not care so much about these things anymore. The life and death of certain people and the sacrifices necessary for victory seemed to be considered necessary evils.
After becoming a demigod, my concept changed.
No, at least not now. Ryan shook his head slightly. This concept is actually very scary.
But this is divinity!
This is also... the logic of governing the country by the Markmaster Machado.
A full belly and an empty heart will lead to loyalty if one is foolish, and one who will be ignorant if one thinks!
…………I am the dividing line of God’s logic…………
Just when the Kingdom of Knights focused all its attention on the south, the north, the coast of Lyonnaise.
A huge fleet of Norscan longships has broken through the coastline defenses of Britannia and landed on the coastline of Britannia. As the longship cabins opened, thousands of Skarlins
The Berserkers and hundreds of heavily armored Chaos Warriors landed on the shores of the Kingdom of Knights.
The leader was the warlord of Skarins, Wiglaf-Red Eyes. With the assistance of a man in black robes, he and his tribe bypassed almost all Brittanian privateer patrols and guards.
, now, they successfully logged in.
The Norscans were densely packed, like locusts, constantly coming ashore, and then swarming everywhere. Most of them shouted the holy names of Khorne and Nurgle. These Yankees couldn't wait to fight, and the darkness
The divine voice of God has arrived, and now is the era of blood and destruction. Anyone has the opportunity to get the highest level of rewards - be promoted to champion, divine choice, high lord or even demon prince!
The invasion of the Norscans quickly aroused the reaction of the Brittanians. Under the northern coastal defense system carefully designed by Lane and Lawn, the army was immediately mobilized. The red lion flag on a white background of Lyonnais
Flying over the plains, three from northern Brittany
The principality's army gathered together to prepare to resist the invasion of the Norscans. At the same time, messengers were sent. As long as they persisted long enough, reinforcements from Le Angoulan would arrive. If they persisted longer, then reinforcements from Mu Xi
Reinforcements from Long and Corona will also arrive.
The ancient trebuchets are being activated, and the serf soldiers of the Principality of Lyonnais are controlling the centuries-old antiques. After the Kingdom of Knights gradually equipped them with artillery and muskets, the three northern principalities still maintain a large number of trebuchets. This is their
The pride of the past was considered a gift from the goddess. Since the Lady of the Lake never ordered the trebuchet to be abandoned, the Leonese people will not give up their pride either.
Yes, Adehad, Duke of Lyonnais, thinks so, so the Principality of Lyonnais is still equipped with a large number of trebuchets and bows.
In fact, defending the northern territory was not Adehad's first task, but the Duke always believed that he had the responsibility and obligation to protect his subjects, so when he got the news, he came with the knights and nobles as soon as possible.
I firmly believe that this battle will be the starting point for his military medal and all glory,
So when Adahad ordered his bodyguards and the proud knights of Leonese to charge towards the Chaos army, the young and passionate knights errant were the first to respond, followed by the White Lion Infantry of Leonese,
These freemen, eager for knighthood and entry into the Old Guard, took up arms.
"For the lady and the king, for Brittany!"
"For the lady, for the glory of Lyonnaise!"
Arrows fell like raindrops, and the boulders thrown by the trebuchets blasted large craters one after another in the Skarins' array. The war roars of the Norscans overwhelmed the roars of the Bretons.
, the Yankees, who lacked war machines, could only advance with the Lyonnaese arrows and trebuchets at first. The Yankees who rushed forward all fell, but more longships docked.
The prophets of the Lake God stood behind the line and began to release magic. The scorching beams, swarms of crows and lightning swept away the Yankees' filthy flesh and blood, burning the monsters and sending them fleeing in all directions. The Yankees were slightly hindered.
The warlord of Skarins, Wiglaf-Red Eyes, didn't take it seriously. He just motioned for more Norscan warriors to follow.
The drums beat, the war cries continue, and the roars for Khorne and Nurgle get louder and louder.
"Damn, why are there so many enemies! How did the Yankees bypass our maritime defenses?" Adehad, Duke of Lyonnaise, angrily asked his subordinates: "Why didn't I get any news?"
"We don't know either, my Duke." The subordinate knight replied.
"Damn it, order the first, third, and fourth ax gun battalions of the principality to press on me." A fire burned in Duke Adehad's heart. He should have been hiding behind the castle, waiting for reinforcements to arrive, but he
You think you can't do that and hide behind the city wall? This is not a knight's duty, let alone a duke's responsibility.
Therefore, Adehad categorically ignored the orders that Ryan and Lawn emphasized to fight in a coordinated manner and avoid random charges. He preferred to regard this order as a lack of chivalry and to prevent the knights and nobles from obtaining their own glory. If this is the world
In the end, if this is the destined ending, then he, Adehad, will also use his own weapons to let the Yankees know that the glorious Leonese people will never surrender!
There were too many Yankees, and the ax spear and spear formations were gradually overwhelmed by Norscan berserkers and marauders. The serf archers fled in all directions and gradually approached the Duke's position. When Duke Adehad saw this
One scene nodded slightly.
"Lady on top, Sirruf on top! Please give your people strength!" The white lion lance pointed directly at the sky, a thousand knights and knight retinues, and the rangers shouted in unison, such a heroic roar directly suppressed the
The ferocity of their voices surpassed the war cry of the Norscans and made up for their disparity in numbers.
The Duke himself charged, and the sound of the horses' hooves belonging to the son of Lyonnais once again sounded on the plain belonging to the knights, rolling in, bringing destruction and death.
The Norscans saw with their own eyes the roar coming from south to north. The collision of steel against steel caused the Norscans to suffer huge casualties unexpectedly. Rulin's lance tore apart human-skinned wolves and war mastiffs.
The flesh and blood penetrated the armor, and the knight's sword cut off the limbs and throat, crushing the Norscans under the iron hooves of the knights.
"For the lady, for Sirruf, for the glory of Lyonnaise!" Duke Adehad rushed first. The crazy Duke penetrated deeply into the Norscan shield wall, and the powerful impact made
He penetrated too deep into the interior of the barbarians, and now he had to face a group of heavily armored Chaos warriors, as well as the warlord of Skarins, Wiglaf-Red Eyes.
Wiglaf-Red Eyes looked at his prey with great interest. He recognized the Duke's flag and knew that the man in front of him was the leader of the cowardly Yankees and a worthy enemy, so the warlord motioned for everyone to get out of the way. He wanted to have it all to himself.
The glory of hunting for a Nan's head.
The Duke also saw the Norscan Warlord, and a duel of champions began.
Wiglaf's giant ax attacks were higher and higher, and the speed was so fast that Duke Adehad could not resist it. The ax split his shoulder armor, and Adehad continued to retreat, vomiting blood.
, he used his shield to push away Wiglaf's giant ax, and then pierced the Norscan's chest with his sword.
The knight's sword penetrated deeply into the Norscan's chest, and Wiglaf groaned.
It hurt, but not fatally. Khorne's power blessed him, and his heart grew on the right side.
Then, the giant ax fell, and Duke Adehad's head was split in the middle. The Duke smiled before he died, which made Wiglaf feel bad!
Adehad, Duke of Lyonnais, died on the northern coast.
Seeing the Duke's death in battle, the Leonese people began to collapse in panic. Wiglaf Red Eyes wanted to order a pursuit, but the pain in the wound became more and more severe, and streams of white smoke came out of his chest.
On the knight's sword, there is the purifying blessing of the Lake God's prophet!
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuu!" Warlord Skarins covered his chest with his hands and knelt down on one knee in pain.
He missed the chance to completely defeat the Bretons. As the horn sounded in the distance, Duke Taubot of Le-Angoulen and reinforcements of hundreds of people arrived.
"Adehad! No!!!" Duke Taubot took the lead. He and Duke Adehad were close friends.
But someone stopped Duke Taubot, who was bent on revenge. A man in black robes led a team of Tzeentch Chosen Warriors wearing blue and purple armor. With a smile on his face, he raised his hand and unleashed a stream of molten metal. Hundreds of
The scalding molten water falling from the sky knocked Duke Taubot off his horse, and also blew Le Angoulant's knights, retainers, and rangers to pieces.
As soon as Duke Taubot fell to the ground, the man in black robe pointed lightly with the staff in his long sleeve, and the nearby gravel and various newly cooled molten metals completely buried Duke Taubot's body.
Another duke fell, and the Brittanians collapsed and fled in all directions.
The man in black robe laughed.
Your humiliation to me, your contempt for me, everything you took away from me, I will take it back from you bit by bit! Ryan!
I, the demon prince of Tzeentch, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord Banda, am here to collect debts from you!
Wiglaf-Red Eyes begged the demon prince Banda in every possible way to save his life, but Banda just watched the warlord Skarins die. Just when Banda was preparing to march and bring destruction and torture to Britannia, the alien
Sudden change!
The ocean near the coast of Lyonnaise has huge waves!
The seawater tens of meters deep separated from the middle to both sides. A man stood in the middle of the seawater on both sides, looking coldly at the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord and the Demon Prince Tzeentch.
