Warhammer Divine Throne

The imperial assembly was held as scheduled in the Imperial Palace in Braunschweig, in the majestic dome of the imperial Imperial Palace, the electors, the most powerful people of the empire gathered together .

The attendees included the following people.

Some people are very familiar with Ryan, so I won’t introduce more here (otherwise some people think the number of words is water).

These people are:

The Emperor of the Empire, Prince Rick, and Karl-Franz-Fredrich of the Grand Duke of Braunschweig.

The Elector of Wallrich, the Grand Duke of Middenland (also known as the Midden collar), and Boris Todd Blinger of the Grand Baron of Middenheim.

The Elector of Tuscany, the Grand Duke of Ivey, and Umberto Corleone of the Grand Baron of Ivyheim.

The Elector of Brescia, the Grand Duke of Wesson, and Jani Bernardino of the Grand Baron of Weissenburg.

Vamier von Zhukov, Elector of Wolfen and Grand Duke of Auster.

Elector of Bekafen, Speaker of the Ostermark League, Wolfram Hertwig.

The Owner of the electoral power of the Nord Kingdom, the son of Harald Frank, the Grand Duke of Nord, and Theodoric Geyser the Grand Baron.

Archbishop (also the great priest) of the Church of Justice, Vicma Beckman.

Archbishop of the Church of Life, Cast Ryan.

The Magic Church Archbishop, Agrima.

In addition, there are four emperor election owners who have caught Ryan's attention.

The Elector of Herzig and Hawke who leads Baron is Edbrand Rudenhoff.

This elector is the only elector who does not concurrently hold the title of duke, because the territory of Hawke is too small, it may be only one-fifth of the size of Midden. Moreover, the area actually controlled by humans is smaller, so Hawke’s title has always been the Grand Baron rather than the Duke, and the Grand Baron’s subordinates are also in charge of seven or eight Barons.

Edbrand-Ludenhof is a tall, thin, middle age person with a horse face. He is unexpectedly strong and thin. It is said that the Elector’s biggest hobby is Hunting, he spends most of the year hunting in his villa in the forest farm in the southern part of Hawke, only in winter he will return to the capital, Herzig.

Helmut Feuerbach, the Elector of Tarabeheim and Grand Duke of Tarabek, has also arrived. This elector has already been introduced in the previous article, so I won’t repeat it here.

What is more special is the remaining two electorate Owners.

First Owner is a halfling, he is "Mute Elder" Esme Stuhart, a halfling with a height of only 1.2 meters, this halfling is already old It was so big, he entered the arena with the support of others and said hello to everyone.

Mute is the most peculiar province in the empire. This place that looks like a province but not a province is called the "Dominion of Mute". In history, the empire conquered Mute, the homeland of halflings. After that, Muth was merged into the Steier and Ivy respectively. However, the halfling struggle and uprising lasted for thousands of years. In the end, the savior Ludwig received a huge amount when the army of order was approaching food shortage. The new empire returned the land to the halflings and gave the halflings the right to vote for the emperor. The halflings can vote for the emperor, but the halflings are not eligible to participate in the imperial government. All they can do is vote when they elect the emperor and act as a mascot.

Mutling is known as the "fairy tale world". It is one of the most beautiful areas in the old world. The protection of the empire is rarely involved in war.

Esme Stewart is a weird man. He was vacillating between Karl Franz and Boris Toddbringer. The Emperor Karl Franz listened to his courtiers. The suggestion of using a sumptuous dinner, ten bags of oatmeal cakes, and twenty barrels of fine malt beer to bribe the elder Mutter, the electorate owner decisively voted for Emperor Karl.

The last remaining elector is Albert-Hapter-Andelsen, the elector of Utbard and the Grand Duke of Steyr.

This elector is the most special, because he is the most powerful person in all the empires present, only one wears a simple wool shirt, trousers and fur coat, and does not wear silk like everyone else. Great nobleman in clothes.

Because Steer collar is so poor.

This province is the poorest province in the empire. There is no one. The Nord hillbillies are rich in minerals and seafood. Hawke leads the export of high-quality hardwoods and a variety of fine cedar woods. Oak, the thriving animal husbandry and animal skin trade of the Osterner ensure that the civilians of the Osterner live well, and the gold veins produced near Wolfenburg are still deep and unmeasurable after being mined for hundreds of years. Surprisingly, the Elector of Wamir hardly has to worry about money.

What does Steier have?

Nothing.

Steier’s leading province is mountainous and forested, with poor land and very little output. The overwhelming majority of Steiers struggle with food and clothing all the year round. Famine is the basis for Steiers every year. To experience, this province is very popular rock bread (a small amount of couscous + bran + wood chips + a lot of rock powder), this kind of bread has a strong feeling of fullness after eating, but the actual effect...

At least Ryan doesn't plan to try.

Wine is the only product that Steierling can export. Unfortunately, Steierling is unable to produce high-end red wine. Due to poor land, growing grapes on precious arable land often leads to more People are hungry, so local wines can’t build estates. They can only grow and sell them separately. Most of the wines produced are low-end and mid-range wines. The commendable thing about Steir wines is that people here never add water to the wine. This is really commendable in the empire.

What’s more terrible is that Sylvania was also a part of the Steier leader. At the end of the vampire war, Martin, the Archduke Steier, led the human army and was wiped out in the Battle of Helfinn. Manfred von Kastein and his army of undead killed Manfred, the last earl of vampire, and burned all vampire castles in Sylvania. Since then Sylvania Was merged into the steer collar.

However, Silvania is more like a heavy burden than a gift. The barren on this dead land, countless undead creatures wandering on that cursed land, the dead will never Rest in peace, the Steier leader had to form a large number of border guards and sentries, because almost every ten days half a month there will be scattered undead creatures attacking the border.

A poor place was forced to maintain a huge border guard, financial pressure almost bankrupted Steier.

Andelson, the elector, is a really good man. He first liked Boris Toddbringer, but when Karl Franz found him and promised to lead Steer After providing food aid, the elector who loved his leader without the slightest hesitation "sold" his ticket to Emperor Karl, so that no one of his leader would starve to death.

Ryan thinks this incident illustrates two problems. The first is that Elector Andelson really loves his citizens, and the second is that Rick is really rich. Erling is really poor.

The imperial assembly was opened. The emperor first initiated a speech. The emperor himself reviewed the glorious history of the empire and the help of the high elves to the empire in the great Holy War. After that, the high elves Safri Kingdom The Supreme Magister Taigris of the Council of Sba Tower Magisters took over the topic, and he expressed his concerns about the forces of Chaos to the electors.

If the empire cannot withstand the southern invasion of the northern chaos, then the Primal Chaos Domain will continue to expand, the earth will continue to decay and mutate, and the world is being irreversibly eroded by chaos. Since the great Holy War, The number of chaos believers in the old world has been steadily increasing.

The empire needs to unite to deal with the threat of chaos. Targris proposed that Emperor Karl-Franz is an excellent general and politician. When there is a large-scale invasion of chaos, the emperor should Unite the power of all the electors to fight against Chaos together, instead of fighting separately.

Ryan found a place to sit behind the Imperial Council. He came to the Empire this time as an unofficial private visit. He could not represent Britania, nor could he represent the Knights of the Holy Grail. He can only represent himself, so Ryan can only listen.

Tegris’ proposal plunged the Imperial Council into a quarrel.

"Your Excellency Targris, we respect you. The savior Ludwig once taught us that a united empire is stronger than a divided empire. Great empires have been many times in history. Divide, but we are always determined that we are all imperials." The Elector of Bekafen and the Speaker of the Ostermark League Hertwig spoke first. The elector moved towards Targris unwillingly said: " However, the elves should not interfere in the internal affairs of the empire. It is our own business how we can coalesce."

"The elves will not interfere in the internal affairs of the empire, but the elves must also face the threat of chaos. This is our inheritance. From a well-intentioned perspective, remind human friends, not offend.” Targris said calmly.

"Then this matter should be an internal meeting of the empire. I don't understand why your Excellency Targris came to the imperial parliament specially for his endorsement by Karl Franz?" Boris elects the emperor. Hou said coarsely, his one-eyed staring at Targris and the silent Emperor Karl-Franz: "Our Your Majesty is trying to tell us that he has an ally of high elves? Let us electors obediently, or a meteorite will fall on our heads?"

"I have no intention of this, Boris..." The emperor immediately defended: "My It means that the high elves are willing to help the empire, but they hope that the empire can unite..."

"Only high precision can knock down the chaos? My FNNDP!" Elector Helmu of Tarabeheim Te-Feuerbach said bluntly: "The high elves think they are the masters of the world? I'm afraid they are not living in dreams!"

"..." Targris is not a particularly good speech person. Facing the overbearing of the electors, the Supreme Master was a little uncontrollable. If the words were too sharp, then the alliance could not be negotiated. If the words were too low-pitched, it was not the style of the high elves.

"Calm down, everyone, we are discussing our views and making suggestions, not about forcing you to do it. Please speak freely, and don't rise to racial or personal attacks." The emperor said.

Tegris’s proposal is in the emperor’s interest. Emperor Karl-Franz has been trying to strengthen the emperor’s authority and centralization since he took office. At present, because of his outstanding military talent and political strategy, he chooses The emperors temporarily abandoned their prejudices and moved forward together, but the emperor’s orders were still unable to be led by Rick. The electors carried out the emperor’s orders if they were beneficial (at least harmless) to them and harmful to them. Just ignore it.

However, this is much better than before.

"Yes, maybe it is more beneficial for the emperor to unite us to fight against Chaos, or the high elves will provide us with help within their ability to fight against the forces of Chaos, but what about other problems? Sylvania The undead of the dead, the green skins of the badlands, and the countless tribes of wild beasts in the forest. Will the high elves help us?" The Lord Steier Lord Andelson said with concern: "If we ourselves We can't protect ourselves. How can we unite against the forces of chaos?"

Andelson's movements were a bit fierce, and the fur coat was tilted, revealing the patch on the wool shirt under the coat.

"Agree." Umberto Corleone, Grand Duke and Elector of Tuscany, raised his hand.

"Second." Helmut Feuerbach, Grand Duke of Talabek and Elector of Talabeheim, raised his hand.

Gianni Bernardino, Elector of Brescia and Grand Duke of Wesson, hesitated for a while, and the elector who was less than twenty also raised his hand under the sign of his courtier: "I agree ."

The emperor and Targris frowned.

Why do the electors of these provinces seconded?

Because they don't have to face the threat of chaos directly, in their view, chaos invasion is not the first to attack them, so they lack interest in uniting. On the contrary, they each have their own considerations.

Everyone knows the threat of chaos, but it’s one thing to be clear. It’s another thing to wait for chaos to hit the door. Humans, or mortals, always repeat the tragedy of history, no When the crisis is truly felt and before the eyebrows are burnt, most mortals are always busy considering their own interests.

Once the scar is over, forget it hurts! The emperor had to sigh that humans are forgetful creatures, high elves have a long lifespan, dwarves have a book of hatred, but humans do not have these advantages. After the disappearance of the savior Ludwig, the electors began to be content with autonomy again. Live your life behind closed doors.

"Everyone! Only when the claws of chaos hit the palace gate, will you wake up like a dream?" At this moment, the elector Boris spoke, and he was left An angry flame burned in his one eye: "You are all satisfied with your own rule. Are you an empire?!"

"The empire must unite!" Baron Baron And Herzig Elector Edbrand Rudenhof also shouted: "For Charlemagne, for the empire!"

"The empire will live forever! The empire is immortal!" Karl Fran Emperor Ci stood up, his thirty-something face was filled with sacred anger, and the emperor got up from behind his seat: "Enough, if you think this is enough, then vote! Tell me, the subjects of the empire Is it united! Or is it divided and broken one by one? I, the Emperor of the Empire, Karl-Franz-Fredrich is here waiting for your answers! Don’t forget the scars left by the chaotic minions on the empire’s land. , I'm watching you quietly!"

"Start voting!"

The electors were shocked by the emperor’s anger, they were like defeated Like a rooster, he lowered his head and wrote his own opinions with a quill pen.

Fourteen parchments (the elders of Mute have no right to participate in the internal affairs of the empire) were sent to the Archbishop Vikma, the church of justice.

"Eight votes in favor! Two abstentions, four votes against!"

"On behalf of Charlemagne and the God of Justice, I hereby announce the establishment of the alliance!"
