PS: I don't seem to have much going on lately, so I'm going to add one more chapter. Since I'm working so hard, please subscribe to all of it! Please vote, vote, vote, vote, vote, vote!
PS2: Recently, the plot will focus on the supporting characters. Some people are not satisfied with this, but I hope to see the situation and customs of the old world through some perspective. Therefore, I'm writing less about the main characters. But don't worry, it will be back soon. There will be a series of big plots coming up.
Wolferam Hertwig had never liked the Knight King, Laing, because Laing was about the same age as him. When Laing became famous in the Kingdom of Nords, Hertwig had just been announced as the Chairman of the Ostermark Alliance and the Kurfürst of Becafen. At that time, he was only three or four years older than Laing.
Hertwich, who had just become the Kurfürst and the Chancellor, was young and impetuous. He once made an unforgivable mistake in the Battle of the Black Roads. Eager to prove himself, he refused the guidance of the grand tutor of the Knights of Eternal Light and spoke rudely. In the end, all the knights of the Knights of Eternal Light withdrew from the battle. Without the help of the knights, Hertwich eventually won the Battle of the Black Roads. However, he paid the price of more than ten thousand deaths. It took three years for Ostermark to recover. At that time, almost every family in the city had died. It took the Moorish priests a few months to complete their prayers.
This was a huge blow to Hertwig. Since then, the Kurfürst realized two things. First, as the supreme leader of the province, if he made any wrong decision, his people would have to pay a huge price. Countless good men would die because of his wrong decision. Therefore, as a decision maker, he had to be careful and not act on impulse.
Second, he had to put the nobles and the knights under his control. If they fought separately, they would not be able to win the final victory. Therefore, Ostermark had to unite.
Since then, the Kurfürst had stepped onto the legendary "unimaginable path".
He cracked down on the privileges of the nobles. Not only did he ask them to behave well, he also demanded that they follow him closely. The Kurfürst himself set an example by going to the frontline in person on "Blood Feather", his mount, in every battle. Even when there was no battle, he often patrolled the defense line and the villages on the griffin.
Internally, Hertwich lived a frugal life and tried to reduce unnecessary expenses. He often shared weal and woe with the soldiers. His Kurfürst Palace was very simple. Among them, he favored the elites of the Death Skull Army that were recruited and selected by the civilians the most. Externally, he restricted the privileges of the knights and the nobles to prevent them from being overly greedy and exploiting the civilians. He balanced the forces of the Church of Justice, the Naturalistic Church, and the White Wolf Church. He also reached a series of mutual aid agreements with the God of Death Moore's Church in order to control the situation.
Because the Ostermark government was a special parliamentary system, the civilians and the middle class had a lot of say in the parliament due to historical reasons, enough to compete with the nobles and the Church. Also, the geographical location of the Ostermark Alliance and the external pressure determined that it had a flat social structure. Therefore, the nobles could do nothing to the Speaker who was fully supported by the civilians.
(Because the enormous forces of the nobles were all wiped out in the collision of the Comet Mordheim, there were not many great nobles with a long history like the Ostermark Alliance. Their overall strength was not strong.)
Since then, Hertwich finally united the Ostermark into a powerful fist that was ready to deal with all kinds of threats.
Therefore, the Kurfürst's attitude towards the famous Knight King Laing gradually changed from disdain, to disdain, to surprise, to being forced to acknowledge, acknowledge, and respect Laing. Especially after hearing the news of the victory of the Eight Peaks Mountain Expedition, even though the Kurfürst was still displeased, he still acknowledged and respected Laing's ability and ability.
When Tegris visited the Empire, Hertwich and Teresa met. As mentioned before, he had to give face to Laing. Therefore, after receiving the news, Hertwich immediately concluded the meeting and hurried over to see Aurora and Teresa.
From Aurora and Teresa, Hertwich learned a shocking truth (even though it was always cloudy here). The Skydome Castle suffered a huge change, the Galan Parliament was almost completely wiped out, and Tzeentech's army wreaked havoc and destroyed the castle.
"How did this happen?" Hertwich stroked his thick mustache. The Kurfürst was very surprised. He quickly asked, "Including Her Majesty Katarina, you have five Sanctuary Witches. How did the Chaos Army succeed so easily? What was going on? Also, isn't Ernst, the Supreme Demon Hunter, also in the Skydome Castle? "
"Katarina didn't participate in the meeting, Elder Carolina suddenly rebelled, and Veronica left early …" Teresa told the story to Hertwich. The sorceress couldn't help but feel sad. It took her a few minutes to tell the whole story.
"I see." Hertwich expressed his sympathy. The Kurfürst thought for a few seconds and immediately said, "I'm very sorry about this. What happened to the Galan Parliament is a loss for all mankind … So, are you here to ask for help? What can I do for you? Do you need the help of the Ostermark army? Or do you need me to provide you with resources? Or do you want me to send you to Brittany? "
Normally, as the Kurfürst, Hertwich wouldn't ask for help so easily, especially when it came to mobilizing the army. However, he still said the same thing. With Teresa's status, he had to give Laing face.
So, instead of being passive, he might as well take the initiative. "Just tell me if you need anything. It's okay."
"We …" Before Teresa could say anything, Aurora interrupted. The Sanctuary Witch said politely, "We don't ask for much, Mr. Hertwich. We're not as strong as we used to be. We'll be satisfied with a place to stay. We don't want to mobilize the army or anything. We're all exhausted. We just want a place to stay. Everyone is tired."
"Ah?!" Kurfürst Hetwig had a strange look on his face. He thought for a while and immediately understood what Aurora meant. Kurfürst Hetwig laughed and said in a joking tone, "Madam Aurora, you are flattering me. Haha ~ You are still in the mood to joke at a time like this? How can a place like Ostmark accommodate so many wizards? Also, I already have Andreas (the chief magic consultant of Kurfürst Hetwig, a legendary fire element wizard). "
"But I heard that Andreas von Aislingen blew up his wizard tower for an experiment. Now, he's running around the Empire asking for donations." Aurora took the opportunity to say, "If that's the case …"
Hertwich's attitude changed drastically. He immediately changed from a passionate state to a polite and distant tone. "Lady Aurora, you can't joke about this. Lady Teresa is King Laing's female courtier. You've worked for him in Brittany before, right? If I arrange for you guys, His Majesty Laing will ask me for you guys. How am I going to explain it to him? Besides, is Lady Teresa going to stay here too? Isn't that a declaration of war with Brittany? Our Empire and the Knight King's Kingdom just signed a treaty not long ago. You don't want me to stay here anymore, do you? "
Aurora's expression changed instantly.
The Sanctuary Witch suddenly realized that she had made a mistake in her decision.
What did she rely on to receive Hertwich's warm welcome and help?
It was because her daughter was wearing Laing's tiger skin! If it wasn't for Laing's tiger skin, she wouldn't have been able to meet the Kurfürst so easily!
She put the cart before the horse! Wearing Laing's tiger skin, she hit her own foot!
This time, the Sanctuary Witch laughed dryly. She could only say casually, "Aren't I just trying to get closer to Her Majesty Katarina? Kislöw is in a lot of trouble now. I think Her Majesty Katarina might need our help. "
"Kislöw?" Hertwich took it as a joke and said, "I was just about to tell you this. Recently, a lot of Mrs. Kiesler came from the North. It's said that they couldn't stand Tsar's rule and came here illegally. They immediately blended into many villages and towns here. I was worried that Her Majesty Katarina might ask me for them. Recently, the situation in the Frost Kingdom has been very bad. We've sent teams of reinforcements to Kislöw to help with the defense. If possible, can you ask Her Majesty Katarina what she's doing? "
Ostmark had always had a good relationship with Kislev, because without the lips, the teeth would feel cold. However, Kurfürst Hetwig was clearly dissatisfied with Kislev's current situation.
Aurora and Teresa had nothing to say about this. Although they were both ice witches, their relationship was only so-so. Aurora could only cover it up a little. Teresa saw her mother's awkward situation and said directly, "Hertwich, we're planning to return to Brittany. Can you send someone to escort us out of here?"
"Of course. You can rest for a day. I'll arrange the fleet and people." Hertwich agreed without hesitation. "Also, I'll get someone to prepare the materials for the long journey. I guarantee that you'll be safely sent to Marlin Castle along the river!"
After that, without waiting for Teresa's reply, the Kurfürst stood up. "I still have things to do, so I won't keep you company. The Empire and the Knight King are allies. This is my adjutant. If you need anything, you can ask him. We'll help if it's within our power. You should go back and rest. We're all tired after such a big incident."
After that, Hertwich left without hesitation.
The sorceress and her daughter could only be politely sent out of the Kurfürst's palace.
The cold and bleak wind blew at Aurora and Teresa's skirts. Teresa whispered, "Mother, I told you that going to Brittany is the only choice for us survivors. Why don't you believe me? Laing has been so good to us. If I want to go back, you have to go with me! "
"That's right. There's no way out." Aurora also realized that with Teresa's special identity, there would be no place for them in the Empire. No Kurfürst would dare to take them in. It would be even more impossible for them to survive. Their only choice was to go to Brittany. The Sanctuary Witch sighed and lowered her head with a bitter smile. "It seems that the outcome is already decided. Let's go. We'll go back and convince Adriana and the others. Since we're going to join him, we'll do it completely. Let's see if Laing will allow us to retain some autonomy."
Damn it. The boy who was so respectful in front of her back then, now she …
Aurora was still unwilling, but she knew that she had no other choice.
If that was the case, there was only one way left … to fight for some status and autonomy in Laing's palace. Aurora closed her eyes and thought to herself, "Daughter, don't blame me. This is all for the future of the Garland Parliament. There's no other choice."
… I have no other choice but to cut the section dividing line …
At the same time, in the Old World, Brittany, Bordero, Mannan Dry Dock.
The Poseidon Fleet docked here. The Lieutenant General of Kislöw Ugor Archers, Berliat Gulag, finally stepped on his military boots and stepped onto the land of Bordero. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the warm sunlight and the smell of the sea breeze. Everything here was so beautiful and so intoxicating.
His feelings were shared by the large group of Ugol soldiers who had boarded the dock behind him, as well as a large number of Kislef settlers.
And on the dock, the Knight King Laing -Macado, Queen Suria, Countess Emmanuelle of the Empire, the Old Guard, and the Armoured Nur were waiting at the dock to welcome them. Laing looked at the large group of Kislöw immigrants who were somewhat fearful and uneasy about the future and smiled with satisfaction.
Perhaps this was called trading canned food for a plane?
When Berliat saw Laing waiting at the dock, he quickly rushed up in fear and trepidation. He immediately knelt on one knee in front of Laing and Suria and said loudly, "Your Majesty, Berliat was fortunate to not disappoint and successfully completed Your Majesty's mission! We also took in many homeless refugees! "
"Very good, very good. Berliat, you really brought me quite a pleasant surprise!" Laing chuckled and nodded repeatedly. He reached out his hand and gestured for Berliat to get up. "You did well in this matter! You deserve credit. "
"It's all because of Your Majesty's guidance and full support, whether it's the military funds or the monopoly rights. If it weren't for Your Majesty and Her Majesty's trust, I, Berliat -Gulag, would never have had the chance to complete the goal. I dare not claim credit. All the credit belongs to Your Majesty and Queen Suria. I only faithfully followed your instructions," Berliat said very sincerely. "Now, Your Majesty, please instruct us what should we do?"
"Humph!" Emilia, who was dressed up, saw that she was ignored and snorted with dissatisfaction. She reached out and held Suria's arm. Suria smiled gently and let her hold her arm.
"No hurry. Where's the goods?" Laing narrowed his eyes.
"Brought them! They're on the big bed inside. Engineer Urban of Ostmark is willing to serve you and Your Majesty! "
"Very good!"
