Chapter 317: The Spokesperson of the Empire
According to the information that Rip specially gathered, the lord of the "Arsenal Fort" is called Mill Havelock, who was born in the "Sigmar Church" of the Empire, and was once a warrior of the Church, and then he came to the southernmost point of the "Frontier Prince's Domain" with a group of soldiers who were as eager to fight as he was, and established a town in the most dangerous place along the tributary of the Howling River, named "Arsenal Fort", and since then, it has become the front line of humanity's battle against the Greenskins.
From Fitandila's mouth, Rip knew some inside stories about this viscount, although Havelock was an ordinary lord of the border prince on the surface, and he only mastered a town in the "Fort Gunhouse", but in fact his true identity was not simple at all, and he was the spokesperson of the empire in this land.
Although the land is barren and resources are scarce, the geographical location of the narrow "border princely domain" is extremely important.
To the east is the natural border of the Old World, the mountains of the edge of the world that can never be crossed, to the south is the green-skinned "badlands", and behind it, from north to west, are the three long-established and densely populated human kingdoms of Empire, Bretonnia and Tyria.
The "Frontier Prince's Territory" is located at the crossroads of the east, west, north and south, and it is also the only buffer zone between the old world of civilization and prosperity and the wild and backward badlands.
No matter what the point of view, the empire will not ignore this place, so there is the "Arsenal Fort".
In fact, the history of this town is very short, less than ten years, almost from the aaagh of Gollum! After being extinguished, it began to emerge, and it seems that the empire suffered that loss, and was worried about repeating the mistakes of the past in the future, so it simply made an outpost for itself in the most dangerous place.
It is said that when this town was built, some people saw some dwarven engineers from the western port "Haimen Pass", and only they could build such a new town in such a short time, and similarly, only the empire could move these stubborn dwarves to help.
After all, they are the strongest allies than steel.
With the support of such a behemoth, it is no wonder that "Fetenburg" has risen so quickly, and in just a few years, it has become one of the most important towns in the east of the "Border Prince's Domain".
"It seems that the empire can't sit still."
Stone said thoughtfully as he habitually smacked his new round and smooth chin.
"Yes, no wonder for so many years there hasn't been a long-sighted guy who has the idea of fighting Fort Arsenal, it turns out that these lords are very clear in private, knowing that behind it is the Empire, but we don't know."
Rep continued with a gloomy face.
As he said, the only estimate that was kept in the dark was the isolated "Fetanburg", and of course, perhaps the old lord Matthew saw a clue, which is why he was so close to Viscount Mill Havelock.
However, the life of Viscount Havelock must not have been very good recently, and the group of knights from Bretonnia are in full swing in the "Frontier Prince's Domain", and in addition to the Greenskins and the Fetanburgers being beaten, he should also be under great pressure.
As mentioned before, in recent years, due to a series of natural and man-made disasters, a large number of down-and-out aristocrats and homeless refugees from Bretonnia have poured into the "border prince's territory", relying on their excellent strength and the relationship between the villagers who immigrated hundreds of years ago, occupying more and more territory, this situation is definitely not what the empire wants to see.
The two most powerful nations of the Old World, though ostensibly harmonious, have always maintained a competitive relationship, and along the gray mountains bordering the two countries, there has never been any sporadic fighting and disputes.
Seeing that the other party's voice in the "border prince's territory" is getting heavier and heavier, although the empire is not easy to say directly, of course it is unwilling in his heart, so it is estimated that he has been secretly sending people to put pressure on Havelock during this time, asking him to also attract more surrounding forces to strengthen the strength of his own camp.
At this time, Fitandila came to the door to help, it was simply a sleepy pillow, met a pit, and Havelock took advantage of the situation to put forward conditions, asking Fetanburg, who had always remained independent, or had no backstage, to join the empire.
At this time, Fitandila had no choice, if she didn't agree, Fetanburg changed hands in minutes, and after going through the previous series of battles, she also vaguely realized that it would be difficult to gain a foothold in the "Border Prince's Territory" in the future by relying on her own town, rather than this, it was better to find a backer.
However, she also has the condition, that is, she herself is privately willing to be loyal to the Empire, and like Mill Havelock, she will become a vassal of the Empire, but on the surface, Fetanburg still wants to continue to maintain its independence like Arsenal Fort, and will not change its flag unless it is absolutely necessary.
The final result is now known, and Havelock, or the empire behind him, agreed to this condition.
"So Fitandila agreed to join the Empire?"
"That's right! Otherwise, how could those Imperial people send troops to rescue, as soon as they saw them coming, Akendorf's people left immediately, and then Viscount Havelock kept urging the city lord to go to the imperial capital to be crowned, but she has been shirked by her because she is busy with reconstruction affairs and can't leave, it seems that it can't be delayed now. ”
Therefore, Fitandila went to Aldolf this time to meet the emperor in person and be named the new nobleman of the empire.
"Empire...... Well, I get it. ”
It turns out that the "Arsenal Fort" is the Empire's, and this unexpected information is very important to the stone, after all, it is the closest human force to the "Steel Rock", and the two towns are across the river, so maybe there will be a war in the future.
But now that he knows its details, at least in a short period of time, the stone will not take the initiative to provoke a war, and the empire is a giant force, whether he can provoke it or not, he didn't provoke us anyway.
In the same way, this also strengthened his determination to carry out the previous strategic policy, to develop south first, and to unify the greenskin tribes in the Badlands.
The muddy waters of the "Frontier Prince's Territory" are getting muddy, but the stone can't worry about it now, and he forces himself to turn his attention back to the big trouble he is about to face, and the top priority is to find a way to get to "Aldolph" first.
Fitandila is going to go with the mercenary group, which will definitely affect his next plans, and more importantly, he can't leave the mercenary group behind and go alone now.
This broken mask is not good, it just turned me into a Norscan. ()
