The Reik River surges past to the southwest of Kronborg, jumping into the narrow canyon with foam and hiss. The rapid water forms a waterfall, boiling up and down from the canyon more than 30 meters high, and the water vapor
Splashing, whitecaps rolled, the water flowed together and rolled westward, and moist and cold mist filled the forest near Kronborg.
And just on the north bank of the river, a giant black castle rises proudly from the ground. The giant towers carved from black rock, the city fortress and the 20-meter-high city wall are interlocking, and a castle is built on the north bank of the Reik River.
A large fortress that cannot be conquered.
This prestigious large castle shows its control over this land in this way. It is like a tiger living on a high mountain, ready to come down at any time to eliminate any nearby threats. The blue and white wolf flag of Midden Territory is on the mountain.
floating above the whole castle
Hundreds of cannons are arranged neatly on the city gate. The family coat of arms of Boris Todbringer is erected on the city gate. The towering outer wall stands proudly from the cliff made of smooth rocks. Only two walls
Doors open openings from the lower walls surrounding the castle.
This castle is famous all over the world for the Kronborg Great Sword Legion. This legendary army became famous for its persistence in fighting and its ability to fight the demons of Khorne in close combat. During the era of the Three Emperors, the empire was divided, and the Kronborg Great Sword Legion resisted with all its strength.
Midden led the army to besiege. In this battle, the Kronborg Great Sword Legion suffered heavy losses.
, but still fought desperately, even the then Duke of Kronborg, Reinhardt, died on the battlefield. By the end of the battle, their white Reikland uniforms had been dyed crimson by blood. Emperor Reik led many
Inspired by the power of the Kronborg Greatsword Legion, this legion was officially given the right to wear dark red military uniforms.
In history, Kronburg changed hands many times in Reikland and Middenland. Kronburg also once became the capital of Middenland. After the Great Holy War, the savior Ludwig ordered the already effectively divided
Middenland and Middenheim were reunited, and Kronburg was also included in Midden
Although the Todbringer family designated Middenheim as the capital of the Midden Territory, it still retained the unique status of Kronburg - this castle retained a luxurious Elector's Palace.
Later, the Grand Dukes of Midden often came to Kronborg to spend the winter or hunt.
But the most special thing about Kronburg is that the nobles in this castle are allowed to pay allegiance to Prince Rick, especially Prince Rick who became the emperor. Prince Rick has monopolized the position of emperor for three generations.
They also continued to exert influence on Kronborg, so by the time Karl Franz came to the throne, the Kronborg Great Swordsmen were already the royal guards of the Franz family.
The current Duke of Kronburg is named Gebhard von Blücher. He is a junior great swordsman in the Holy Realm and an imperial general, nicknamed "Marshal March". He has a reckless and bold personality but is approachable. Every time
He must take the lead in battle, and he has beheaded countless people in battles with beastmen and greenskins, but he is not an excellent strategist.
At least not in the eyes of Elector Boris.
In the opinion of the one-eyed elector, the army led by General Blücher had better not exceed 10,000 people. Once it exceeds 10,000 people, it will be difficult for the "Forward Marshal" to effectively control his army.
And if the number of people is less than 10,000, it can just bring out his character traits of daring to fight, daring to charge, daring to fight to the death, and even being a bit neurotic.
Boris Todbringer got up early today, and the sky was still bright. The White Wolf Elector began to lead his White Wolf Guards to inspect the military camp of Kronborg. Now the entire Kronborg is stationed.
Nearly 30,000 troops, these troops come from all over the Midden Territory
, summoned by Boris at this time, which naturally included Boris's elite troops, the White Wolf Knights, the Cheetah Knights, the Ulric Swordsmen, the elites of the White Wolf Order, etc., but it also included many good and bad ones.
Local armies and provincial reserves.
The elector's health problems have improved to a certain extent in recent years. Due to his strong alliance with Ryan, Boris finally managed to obtain a small bottle of the fountain of life from the wood elves through diplomatic channels.
After diagnosis and treatment, the eye disease that had troubled him for many years was finally cured, and his eldest son, who was somewhat demented and had a low IQ, finally returned to normal.
With a series of help from the wood elves and Yurik's blessing, Boris finally broke through the shackles of the sanctuary and was promoted to become a strong man in the sanctuary.
Of course, the cost is high, but fortunately there are enough treasures in the Todbringer family's treasures to interest the wood elves.
The Elector is over seventy years old this year, but he is obviously upright and in his prime. At least he has always been seen as an energetic man, a formidable warrior, and an outstanding leader. He regularly leads his Midden army out.
Looking for enemies to fight, the rune sword he wields in his hand always inspires his soldiers to fight for victory.
But now, the elector is caught in a dilemma.
The army has already concentrated in Kronburg. Everyone from the White Wolf Church, including Pope Emil Wagel, to the lowest level Ulric Berserkers of the White Wolf Order, who don't even have a decent set of armor, are...
They clamored that they must give the Southerners a hard time this time, teach them a lesson, or simply capture Brunswick. It’s time for the glory of the crown and capital to return to White Wolf City! It’s time to support the true empire.
The Emperor - Wolf Emperor Boris Todbringer!
If you say you don't want to be the emperor, it must be a lie. Boris can feel his mind being filled with anger - these damn southern guys, do you know how much the great Yurik has sacrificed and dedicated to mankind?
Do you know that without the help of Ulric, there would never have been the coronation of Charlemagne and the emergence of the empire! Now even Ulric and the honor belonging to the north have been stolen by the southerners, what else do they want?
?!
Many times Boris wants to risk everything, order the army to march out, and give Karl Franz's puppy a taste of pain first. This is the anger from the north!
However, his remaining sanity still stopped him. A full-scale war spreading to the empire was not only not what Boris wanted to see, but it was not even what Yurik wanted to see.
What Boris hopes is to make Karl Franz and the Righteous Church behind him bow their heads in this way.
But the result disappointed Boris. He maintained troops on the border for more than a week. Not only did Brunswick not take the initiative to bow its head and extend an olive branch, but also concentrated a large number of troops along the Reik River and around the capital. It was clear that they wanted to fight with Midden.
Lead the line.
The smell of gunpowder was getting stronger and stronger. Boris was walking in the military camp. A group of Teutonic guards surrounded the elector to protect his safety. The Teutonic guards were the most elite troops in the White Wolf Knights. The dismounted knights,
The Templars of the White Wolf Church, its success
The members are personally selected by Great Ulric (i.e. Pope Ulric) and the head of the knights. Being selected as a Teutonic guard is the highest honor in the White Wolf Knights. These originally fearless warriors accept this glorious honor.
Becoming more determined and stronger after duty and honor.
Originally, Ryan should enter here in the future.
"Good morning, soldiers!" Boris rubbed his hands and breathed in the cold air. It was also very cold in Kronburg in January, but the Elector enjoyed the cold. He rubbed his hands and looked at the many people who had just gotten up and set up camp to light the fire.
The soldiers greeted. The Grand Duke and the Elector of Midden were obviously loved by the soldiers, and the soldiers also sent sincere greetings. Boris noticed that many soldiers were overhauling their weapons and practicing loading ammunition. He frowned,
There was no stopping, but there was no encouragement either.
"Urik is with us, Your Majesty the Grand Duke, you got up really early today." The person who spoke was Axel, the grand leader of the White Wolf Knights. He had a very thick beard, but he had a big
With his bald head, when he saw Boris coming out, he said hello: "I thought you were in the palace, but I missed it."
"What's new?" Boris whispered.
"It seems that the arrogant and stupid Rick people are really planning to experience Yurik's anger and thunder." Captain Axel held a large warhammer on his shoulder in one hand and put his other hand on his waist.
: "The leaders of Miden are fearless, tenacious and brave. It's time to let the old world know again."
"It's not that easy. We are still Imperial people after all." Boris shook his head: "We just want to use the war to get that puppy Karl Franz back to the negotiating table, compensate for the losses, and apologize."
"Yes, but we need a war after all." The grand leader of the White Wolf Knights nodded: "So, when will it start?"
Boris sighed inwardly. The entire Kronborg has been filled with this kind of fanaticism and grief and anger recently, and he can't stop it. Moreover, the elector also hopes to have a battle like the Battle of Helmgart.
A beautiful victory, on the one hand, allowed the Southerners to taste the pain, and on the other hand, it also allowed the Midden leaders to vent their anger and then think about negotiations.
Just at this time, von Tugenheim, the flag-bearer of the Elector, came running quickly.
Seeing this junior, Boris's remaining single eye showed a look of kindness. This young man in his thirties is his godson and his right-hand man. His father, Phillen, is Todd Breen.
Ge's closest aide and friend, during his relationship with the Beastman Beast King "One-Eye"
Kazak died in the decisive battle, and Boris adopted his son as his godson. He became a strict godfather. Tugenheim also fulfilled Boris's expectations well. In the era of learning, all parties involved
Everything is the best, whether it's reciting Ulric's prayers or sword hunting skills.
When he was only in his twenties, Tugenheim entered the White Wolf Knights and became an official White Wolf Knight. He was soon selected into the Teutonic Guard and was the youngest warrior awarded the honor of carrying the battle flag of the White Wolf God.
But he is not only approachable but also very humble. He often stirs the spoon in the same big pot with ordinary soldiers and is well aware of the sufferings of the people.
"Godfather!" Tugenheim was wearing a felt hat and a white wolf velvet cloak, with stainless steel Wolf God plate armor underneath. He walked quickly and whispered in the Elector's ear: "The Imperial Countess is here.
, she leads a group of knights from Nuer and the Nuer armored army, just outside the city!"
"Imperial Countess?!" Boris opened his eyes wide, and the Elector said in disbelief: "Emmanuel von Lebwitz Bernardino? This woman does not stay in her warm palace of Noor.
,What are you doing here at Kronborg at this time?! Doesn’t she know there’s going to be a war here?”
"I guess, our Lady the Countess is here to serve as a lobbyist for that little dog Karl Franz!" Grand Captain Axel turned the handle of his war hammer nonchalantly: "
Boris, what should I do? Do you want to meet this Imperial Countess? You still need to be polite."
Boris Todbringer stared at his one eye. Surrounding him were the Teutonic guards, his godson Tugenheim and the grand leader of the White Wolf Knights headed by Axel, as well as Ka
Duke Blücher of Lomborg was waiting for his order.
Although the pure men of the Church of the White Wolf God Ulric are inherently "discriminatory" against women, they believe that it is best for men and women to keep their respective duties and fight should not be a woman's business, but recently
Emmanuel, who worked as a maid for Ryan for a few years and was later sent back to the empire
The Baroness does have pride. The Knight King across the mountain is her man. The two have a son and a daughter. Moreover, during the invasion of Tamu Khan, the chosen champion of Nurgle a few years ago, she did an outstanding job relying solely on her power.
With the power of Forest Leader and Nuer, they completely defeated and killed Tamu Khan, making the old world famous.
Therefore, Emmanuel already enjoys good prestige within the empire through such great achievements. She still came to Kronburg. It is not a hostile state. Boris has no reason not to see her. The status of both parties is equal.
However, at this moment, Emmanuel appears here leading a group of Nur knights and Nur armored troops. What does she want to do? Can Boris, who has experienced many battles and seen a lot, understand? She obviously intends to be in the middle.
Mediation, to put it simply, she is here to help Karl Franz’s puppy and puppet emperor!
"See you, of course you have to see me!" Boris suddenly laughed. The White Wolf Elector smiled very strangely and cruelly: "Tugenheim, you immediately open the city gate and arrange for Her Majesty the Countess and her
The troops are stationed, and breakfast and lunch are arranged for them at the same time."
"Breakfast and lunch?" Captain Axel said strangely: "Boris, the genius has just dawned!"
"Yes, the genius has just dawned, but when did I tell you that I want to see her immediately?" Boris waved his hand: "I will meet her, but not now. She has come all the way. Let the Imperial Lady first
Take a rest! After all, I am busy with military affairs!"
"Hahahaha!" Everyone understood what Boris meant, and bursts of laughter spread throughout the camp.
Imperial Countess Emmanuel finally got the chance to meet Elector Boris after being left hanging for seven hours. She wore a pure black and mixed-color cotton tunic coat with egret trim and white sheepskin.
Plush tights and creamy white high heels
Boots, under the guidance of the attendants, she walked into the palace hall. The veins on the Imperial Baroness's forehead were bulging, and her face was full of anger and displeasure. It was obvious that being left alone for a long time had made the most powerful person in the empire.
The woman is on the verge of going berserk.
"Our Lady, I'm sorry, we are busy with military affairs. After all, Kronborg is not a place for banquets." Boris looked at Emmanuel like this and smiled secretly in his heart. He pretended to be arrogant and said: "Please
sit."
Emmanuel sat down opposite Boris. Her face was very ugly. The Imperial Lady motioned for everyone to step back. Boris nodded in agreement. After everyone left, the White Wolf Elector said casually: "Okay.
I know that you are here to help that puppy, that puppet emperor. I have already guessed what you want to do. Let me tell you, Emmanuel, I don’t want to hear those words. You should say something else.
, or you can go back."
Emmanuel clenched her little hand wrapped in a long black lace glove, veins popped out on her forehead, and she forced out a ferocious smile: "Yes, Boris, you are right, it turns out that I do want to talk."
I am no longer interested in what happened this time. When you start fighting, please inform me as soon as possible so that Ryan and I can start talking."
"Ah? What did you say? With Ryan?" Boris was stunned by Emmanolly's move. He was stunned for several seconds, and then said strangely: "What are you talking about with Ryan? This matter is about us
What does the matter between Leader Miden and Leader Rick have to do with Ryan?"
"I'm waiting for you to start a war!" Emmanuelle smiled even more ferociously. Her mood was obviously not normal anymore: "When you proclaim yourself the Wolf Emperor, I will immediately announce that Nur and Wesenland will join from today.
Kingdom of Brittania Knights! Sister Surya can be his queen, and so can I. My dowry is richer than hers! If Feuerbach and his Talabek Territory are also an idea, I will let Ryan
proclaim oneself emperor!"
"Fight, you and Karl fight hard, then my son will be the future Emperor of the People! What do you think of this idea?"
"WTF???!!!" Boris was stagnant on the spot, his mouth wide open, and his remaining one eye looked at Emmanuel in disbelief.
