Chapter 426: The Emperor's Northern Expedition

Then Levi continued to stay in the Imperial City of Aldolf for a few days, this is worthy of being the capital of the empire, all kinds of resources are very rich, with his own long accumulated financial resources, Levi from the Imperial Military Academy, major magic academies, religious strongholds and shops swept a large number of equipment and supplies, so hard to buy and buy, almost his wallet is almost empty.

However, the results are very gratifying, his hero-level subordinates have mastered a lot of new skills, changed a lot of equipment, and even Levi himself has mastered the technique of using the halberd to the apex of the advanced level in a short period of time, and it is possible to go one step further by participating in a few more battles in person, which is the charm of money.

The only thing that makes Levi a little regretful is probably that this place has been patronized by too many Chosen Heroes, so he has never encountered any special troops except for recruiting some troops in the barracks to supplement his strength, and even he has gone to the tavern where the legendary hero unit can be recruited several times, but in addition to the room full of Chosen Heroes, he didn't even see a single ownerless aborigine, and in the end he had to give up reluctantly, the competition was too strong.

In the few days that Levi stayed in the Imperial City of Aldolph, the news of Emperor Karl's upcoming Northern Expedition had also spread quickly throughout the empire and even the entire Old World through the mouths of the emperors of various provinces, and a large number of Chosen Heroes began to mobilize from various places.

It's just that they didn't all flock here, because the emperor didn't ask them to do that, but he asked all the aspirants to advance from different places, all the way to crusade against the evil alien races along the way, and finally comprehend and make peace in Nord, he will give all kinds of rewards according to the number of enemies that the chosen heroes crusade on the road, this is a super large joint mission, and it is the same to take the task at each Chosen Emperor.

After all, the area of the empire is very vast, and it is not a simple problem to come to the capital from various provinces, and the nearest novice village to the Aldolf Imperial City is also dozens of miles, not to mention the cost of time, and all kinds of monsters on the road are also endless.

In contrast, Levi, who came to the Aldolph Imperial City with Reinhardt, was much luckier, not only did he come here early in the morning, and received the task as soon as possible, and even Toleinhardt's blessing, he also met the emperor in person, and the other party communicated with Reinhardt at the same time, and also talked to Levi a little by the way, which can be regarded as a familiar face.

In Levi's view, on the whole, this emperor is indeed a wise monarch, with many achievements in politics and people's livelihood, and he is also very charismatic, and his reputation among the people is even more extraordinary, and he is also very approachable in a short period of contact.

If he can achieve a beautiful victory in the next Northern Expedition, then the emperor's position should be secured, which is a good thing for the empire and even the order camp, after all, this is the largest country in the old world composed of human beings, and its every move can affect many, many people.

But in the same way, the chaotic camp would definitely not want to see this situation, and Levi had already expected that on the way to the north, he would definitely encounter sniping from various races and forces.

However, this is a very good opportunity for Levi, who is a chosen hero, and there are too many attractive things in the mission rewards promised by the emperor, from various equipment, skills, to troops, pets, and even titles and territories, even Levi is a local tyrant among the chosen heroes.

Since the tasks of this level have also attracted the attention of many guilds and masters, the competition is also very fierce, which is why he decided to lead the troops to set off before the emperor, in order to clear the obstacles on the way for the other party, so as to obtain more merits, because he has already mastered the route of the troops and the general military plan in advance through Reinhardt!

As he had predicted, the Emperor's army would march from the Imperial City of Aldolf, through the Tarabek River to the Tarabek Realm to the north, then across the Oster Realm, and finally to the Nord Realm, where they would kill all the Norscan pirates and then rescue Kislev, the land of ice.

And the cavalry led by Reinhardt also set off with Levi, not because she was looking for any title or territory, but only because the Northern Eagle had already sent troops, led by one of his hardcore cronies, and they were very cunning and the first to set out from Nune, and had begun to clear the enemy along the way.

The Emperor's Northern Expedition is for the entire empire, so they can also get the merit they deserve, the Northern Eagle has already occupied a certain advantage, Reinhardt and they must redouble their efforts!

Levi, who had once again killed an unknown beast with a heavy halberd, was trying to cultivate his martial arts and try to go further, when suddenly a junior brother's shout came from behind him, "Boss, the emperor has begun to march!" ”

Levi immediately looked back, and sure enough, under the Imperial City of Aldolf, at the junction of the Rick River and the Tarabek River, countless soldiers wearing the milky white and beige military uniforms unique to Rick Collar came out one after another, and there were even large and small warships along the river, and the warships had a large number of war machines on them, which were very intimidating just by looking at them.

And the famous emperor was leading his troops on a three-story ship more than 60 meters long, more powerful than the galleon of Bretonnia.

Emperor Karl looked to be no more than thirty years old, in the prime of life, with a rune-covered warhammer in his hand, a sharp sword hanging from his waist, and a heavy armor with a faint glimmer on his body, all three of which Levi knew were at least legendary equipment.

The Warframe, known as the Silver Seal, is a relic of Magnus the Pious, another legendary emperor of the Empire, who led the Coalition of Order factions to defeat the Chaos Demon, and its strong defense is undoubted, but its history is the shortest.

The long sword is called Rick Leader Rune Dragon Tooth Sword, and the Rune Dragon Tooth Sword is a rune sword that represents the power of the imperial elector, there are only twelve in total, and it was built at the beginning of the country, and its own power may not be too famous, but it is more important for its symbolic meaning.

And that warhammer is the emperor's most powerful weapon, and it has even been rumored that it is a real artifact, because one of its former masters was the first king of the empire, and later the god-king Sigmar was able to ascend to the gods!

When Sigmar was still a human, he saved the Dwarven High King from the Greenskins, and was given one of the most powerful weapons in the entire world, this powerful weapon has fought countless equally legendary weapons in its long history, but his wielder has never lost a head-on duel, and it has a terrifying name - Gir Malaz the Skullcrusher, also known as Sigmar's Warhammer!

Behind the Emperor were two heavily armored warriors, one of whom was the commander of the Imperial Guard, Generalissimo Hellberg, whom Levi had already heard of.

The other was Ludwig, the chief of the imperial guard, who was also the bearer of the Emperor's banner, and at the moment he was holding the banner, looking solemnly ahead, although the legend has said that the two have always been at odds, but now they have not shown it at all.

Behind them were a large number of mages in colorful robes, and priests from the major temples, Levi knew at a glance that the other party's lineup was very luxurious, except for the mages who did not have death, the other common mages were almost all together, and they were also very supportive of the emperor.

Then there are some messy troops, even Levi can't recognize them all, but Levi soon found out that even on the emperor's flagship, the top melee troops are basically Rick's halberd guards, plus some great swordsmen, although it does look more elite, but it is just some 3rd and 4th order troops, it seems that the empire lacks a strong front row of meat shield infantry, it is already an indisputable fact, even the emperor can't change this.

On the contrary, however, the cavalrymen who kept moving at a similar speed along the coast and the warships were showing off one by one, and it was said that there were at least fifty kinds of knights with names and surnames in the empire, and Levi felt that this might be true, because there were at least thirty or forty kinds of them that were not the same just as he saw them.

However, he didn't see any of the half-griffin cavalry at the top of the empire, and he didn't see any tanks, on the contrary, the kind of war fortress equipped with mortar cannons under Levi's command, he found almost a hundred.

In this way, the combat style of this Karl Emperor is somewhat similar to Levi's, and they both emphasize the use of long-range attacks to suppress the enemy, and it is best to completely kill the enemy before they get close to him.

When the army had almost all come out of the Imperial City of Aldolf, Emperor Karl immediately raised the war hammer in his hand and shouted: "For the Empire, for Sigmar, go!" ”

The many soldiers behind him immediately responded to him, and a thunderous roar resounded through the four fields: "For the Empire, for Sigma, for the Emperor!" ”

The roar of tens of thousands of people was so amazing, even Levi, who was far away, couldn't help frowning and covering his ears, it was really shocking, but the charm of this emperor was really extraordinary.

But Levi had another question, it was obviously a huge expedition, but why did the other party bring a total of less than 40,000 troops in the end? Legend has it that the Norsca pirates in the north have gathered dozens of large and small armies, and some people on the forum even say that their total number of armies has exceeded one million, but because of the Norscar pirate habits, they will not fight together at all, but even if it is a million pigs, it will take a long time to kill them one by one!

Although the troops led by the emperor seem to be elite, they are a little less numerous, right?

You must know that even Levi's watchman can now easily muster tens of thousands of troops, this emperor really wants the heroes chosen by God to be the main force, right?

When Levi said his question, Reinhardt couldn't help but look at him in surprise, "Levi, do you really think that the emperor is trying to kill all those Norscar pirates?" ”

Levi couldn't help but be stunned, and he immediately asked, "Isn't it?" ”

"Well, my sister said that the emperor most likely wanted to show his friendliness to other lords in this way, and to make a name for himself who was the real master of the empire. After all, many people know that Duke Boris of Midden has always been unconvinced by the emperor, and it just so happens that the Nord Collar and Midden have been in-laws for generations, if the emperor can solve the Norska pirates that plague Nord Lord, Duke Boris will definitely lose face. As for those Norscan pirates in Kislev, isn't that what their country has always existed for? ”

The grievances between Midden and Rick have been around for a long time, because the two are enshrined by different gods, and they happen to be two gods of war, and the two gods themselves may not have any major contradictions, but as their people, the humans in the two territories spontaneously contradict each other's gods, and because the electors of the two territories are very strong, when they run for the emperor, they often have a greater chance of success, so over time, the current situation has been formed, although they are of the same race and the same country, but they have some hatred for each other.

Learvisden had a headache, he originally looked at the other party's wise leader, and thought that maybe he could do something big with the other party, but he didn't expect it to be just a show?

And listening to Reinhardt's meaning, Kislev, the land of emotional ice and snow, has always been cannon fodder for the empire to ward off disasters?

However, Levi thought about it for a while, and felt that although this analysis seemed reasonable, it was too one-sided, after all, Reinhardt's sister was also a candidate for the emperor, and she was also a woman who had repeatedly claimed to hold a ball in the Imperial City of Aldolph, and she would definitely not have too many positive comments about the emperor.

Everything depends on the real situation, and what the emperor will do!

After making up his mind, Levi decided not to think so much, but to directly lead the troops to continue to advance, to play the vanguard for the large army, no matter what, he just needs to kill as many enemies as possible, anyway, this is the goal of this Northern Expedition mission.

As for the safety of Emperor Karl's own life, he didn't pay much attention to it, not only because the other party was surrounded by a large number of hero units, but also because the other party himself was definitely quite capable of fighting, and those three pieces of equipment were not just to be seen!

At this time, the sky lone star next to him couldn't help but smile: "Boss, I think we are worried too early, although the emperor only brought tens of thousands, but look at the God-chosen heroes on both sides of our strait, and then think about the other people who have signed up on the forum, I am afraid that those Norscar pirates will not be enough at all, and even I doubt that there will be fools to provoke along the way!" ”

Since this Northern Expedition mission was revealed, the forum has suddenly become hot, a large number of God's Chosen Heroes took the initiative to report the number, wanting to count how many people participated in this mission, as of last night, that number has already broken through the triple digits, there must be hundreds of times more troops behind them, what Tian Lone Star said, it is not completely impossible.

Well, of course, this is without considering the chosen heroes of the hostile camp, Emperor Karl's mission is issued to the imperial humans, but there are many races and forces in the hostile camp that have launched a mission to snipe him, in Levi's opinion, the emperor's Northern Expedition is a bit like a copy of Journey to the West, except that he himself is not as weak as Tang Seng...
