Chapter 423: An Intricate Empire
Chapter 423: An Intricate Empire (Page 1/1)
The Victorian style, the gorgeous fighting style, and the various abilities for chaotic and undead creatures make the Witch Hunter class quite popular in Total Warhammer Online.
Countless Imperial players have chosen to become wanderers in order to become a cool witch hunter in the future.
This is also one of the second class unique to the Empire.
Brienne herself was tempted back then.
In terms of combat, the Witch Hunter's unique weapon combination, thin sword and handcuff, takes into account both melee and range, and has super operability and combat effectiveness.
On the other hand, the members of this organization roamed around and tracked down heretics, which was also in line with the plot in his heart, so he also had a special understanding of this profession back then.
The Witch Hunters had a complex composition of people from all walks of life and professions, ranging from powerful nobles to down-and-out knights from low-ranking families, and even commoners, and finally made it to the Inner Ring Council, becoming an inspirational example for the twelve marquises.
This eclectic standard does not mean that the organization is loosely managed, on the contrary, as an official institution with a long history, the witch hunters have their own unique and mature operating mechanism.
Because the content of the work is extremely dangerous, they are all fighting the most evil creatures on the front line, the casualty rate is extremely high, and the reputation of the people is not too good, so the witch hunters are not easy to recruit new members, so they have to open the threshold and recruit talents, everyone wants.
Not to mention ordinary civilians, even pagans and prisoners, if you are willing to change your ways, throw yourself into the arms of Sigmar, and prove your devout belief in Him, you can join the ranks of witch hunters.
Arabi descendants like Fitandila, who are born in the "Frontier Princes' Domain", are not discriminated against among witch hunters.
This is a rare advantage.
But this is only the first step, if you want to become a full member, you have to go through a series of extremely rigorous training and tests, and only after passing can you take up the post.
After becoming a true witch hunter, the vast majority of people are asked to give up their status and title and give half of their fortune, or more, for the organization's activities.
Only a few exceptions are spared, and they are usually high-ranking members of the organization.
In addition, once you become an official internal member, you can never quit, otherwise you will be hunted down by all the witch hunters.
It was such strict requirements that made Brienne dispel the idea of becoming a witch hunter, after all, he played as a lord, so that he could develop his own territory independently and without constraints.
Maybe when Fitandila learns about this, she will have new ideas.
However, Chamberlain did not seem to intend to tell her this, but only asked her about what she had seen and heard during the trip and how she felt after arriving at "Aldolph", and did not go further on the subject.
After a few more small talks, this young executive, whose speech and demeanor were comparable to that of any old nobleman, should have other work to deal with, saying that it was too late today, and that Fitandila could go back to the hotel to rest first, and someone would take her to the Imperial Government tomorrow to go through the official formalities.
If nothing else, she will be made a nobleman directly under the Emperor, and the territory will still be "Fetanburg", but due to the current situation of the "Frontier Prince's Domain", all this will not be made public, just like the "Arsenal Fort".
In the end, Chamberlain said very directly that when everything was done tomorrow, as long as she was willing to throw herself into the arms of Sigma, she would be able to join the "Knights Templar of Sigma" and gain the support of all witch hunters and the Sigma Cult.
That's a lot of power.
………
The wheels of the carriage whizzed along the cobblestone road, and the scenery flashed by at high speed, but the passengers in the carriage had no intention of watching.
One of them was absent-minded, and the other was closing his eyes.
In the end, it was the former who broke the silence in the carriage.
"Miss Brienne...... What do you think about what just happened? ”
Since meeting Elizabeth, Fitandila had almost forgotten the purpose of her coming to the Empire, and only regained her reaction until just now, but she was not at all prepared for the sudden choice, and her mind was in a mess.
Defecting to the Empire was originally just an expedient measure of last resort, but who knew that a witch hunter would be killed.
With the arrival of a large number of Bretonnian knights, the Frontier Prince is no longer what it used to be, and the environment around Fetanburg is getting worse and worse, and she must find a way to change her isolation or risk the whole town in danger.
The previous crises had sounded the alarm for her, although they were all saved in the end, but the old city lord Matthew also died, and more importantly, these times it can be said that they all relied on the elusive greenskin tribe, which made her feel very uneasy, she could not put the lives of the people of the city in the hands of a group of orcs and goblins.
That's why she made this trip to the Empire, but the invitation from the witch hunter caught her off guard, so she had to tentatively ask her companion next to her.
Brienne, who was leaning against the inner wall of the carriage, opened her eyes, stared closely at the pair of amber eyes full of hesitation written on the other side, and asked word by word:
"To answer my question first, how much do you know about witch hunters?"
"I ......"
Fitandila was stunned, and her mouth was open for a long time, and she couldn't answer.
Brienne wasn't surprised by this, as a secret police-like agency, witch hunters were inherently hard to come by, let alone for someone far away in the "Frontier Princes' Domain" to know what they were up to.
"Then tell me again, how much do you know about the new master of the Empire? Do you know the relationship between the empire and the other countries around it? Do you know the relationship between the emperor and the provinces? Do you know the relationship between the official government of the Empire and the Sigmar Cult? Also, how much do you know about the relationship between witch hunters, magic academies, major knight orders, and different sects? ”
Brienne was left speechless by a barrage of questions, she really didn't know anything about them.
Her previous idea was very simple, since she was looking for a backer, she would find the most powerful one.
Join the empire and become a vassal of the emperor, if the empire really wants to send troops to occupy the "border prince's territory" in the future, then she will take advantage of the situation and occupy a good position in advance.
As soon as the situation eases or Fetenburg grows stronger, she can regain her independence as if nothing had happened.
Isn't it great that you can advance or retreat?
Brienne continued, as if she had guessed the doubts in her mind.
"I know what you're thinking, join the empire first, keep the situation now, and see the situation later. I can't say that this idea is bad, but I want to remind you that the various forces of the empire are intricate, definitely much more complicated than you think, once you jump in, it is not so easy to get out, be careful that you are swallowed by it before you come to your senses. As for the witch hunters, when you really see the situation in front of you, you will judge. ”
After saying this, Brienne stopped, there are some things that don't need to be said too clearly, Fitandila is not stupid, she is just too small in it, as long as she uses her brain, she can get the answer she wants.
Neither of them spoke again, and by the time Marceau returned to the "Bamboo Rat Hotel" in the carriage, it was completely dark.
A tall figure was standing at the door, and when he saw the carriage stop, he immediately met him and cried out loudly:
"Miss Brienne, someone is waiting for you, it seems to be in a hurry!"
