Black sky.

The whole of Cologne was caught in the flames of war.

The sky was dark, and the clouds obscured the sky of Cologne.

In the darkness of the night, apart from the light of the flames, there was only the ghostly fire in the eyes of the necromancer.

The battle of Cologne's harbor had begun, and as the ghost ship approached the shore, a neat line of grave guards stepped out of the ghost ship.

They let out strange cries and raised their massive blades to slash at everyone they could see.

The Imperial patrols soon approached, most of them armed with muskets, and even if there were two large sword phalanxes close together, they did not attack the undead army at the first time.

Yes, the citizens of Cologne were not protected by the Empire.

"Musketeers! Fire!" Under the command of an Imperial nobleman, a neatly arranged team of muskets opened fire on the grave guards not far away.

I saw a puff of gunsmoke filling the front of the musket team, and the square of the grave guards not far away died seven or eight in an instant.

But the casualties were more among the fleeing workers near the port of Cologne.

That's ...... How?

The people of Cologne were not protected at all, and their lives were only untouchables for the people of the Empire.

Even Cologne was inhabited by the elite of Bretonnia, and under the rule of the Empire they were nothing more than a group of poor slaves.

The battle of the port of Cologne began.

For the entire campaign of Cologne, this is only one aspect.

Three-sided ...... Cologne was surrounded on three sides by Bato's conquest front, and the first to vent his fire was the catapult.

One by one, the stones and the blessing of the Church of the Nymphs in the Lake quickly and accurately smashed into the walls of the Empire, causing a series of collapses.

Unlike the rest of Bretonnia, the walls of Cologne were unusually strong, and most of the walls in other parts of the country were built in the middle of the Middle Ages, while Cologne had already begun to build buildings from the late Middle Ages.

Extraordinary...... Sturdy, even if the catapult keeps smashing, it doesn't seem to be much of a shelf.

But...... The skies had been taken over by Barto's conquest front, and the Pegasus Knights and Hippogriff Knights were hovering in the wounds of Cologne, ready to attack the Imperial in Cologne.

Originally, there were some long-standing eagle knights in the city of Cologne, but when they saw the arrival of Bato's conquest front, they surrendered to Lu En without any hesitation and became part of Bato's conquest front.

The whole city is at stake.

The only way to escape was to the east of Cologne, which was the road to the Empire, and there was news that there was a greenskin rampant, but what did it matter?

Lu En's calm observer was not far from Coronny, and looked at the sharp claws beside him.

"I won." Lu En said calmly.

Sharp Paw nodded.

Worth mentioning is Sharp Claw, the lizardman who fought in the most recent battle, but returned to his hometown, the jungle.

Although he didn't know what Talon had said to its former leader, Lu En could tell that Talon was a lizardman who was very loyal to him.

"Sharp Claw, do you know what kind of energy you need to rule a country?" Lu En asked suddenly.

Sharp Claw was slightly stunned.

He thought for a moment and said, "It's wisdom and strength." ”

"If you have power, you can be respected, and if you have wisdom, you can rule the country." ”

Lu En shook his head slowly: "You are wrong. ”

"It is desire and ...... that rule the world Imagination. ”

"Although the power is strong, the power of the individual is not worth mentioning compared to the power of the people, as long as it can drive the unconscious thoughts in the hearts of human beings, it can have absolutely powerful power."

"And wisdom, you are just right, wisdom is nothing but the manifestation of human desires." Lu En gently stroked the sword of Tolgard in his hand.

"Do you know why there are differences in intelligence between human beings?"

Sharp Claw shook his head slowly: "I don't know, all living beings will be different, this is what God has chosen. ”

Lu En smiled: "The difference in human intelligence lies in desire, and the first thing that constitutes this desire is the human physique, and the second is the education level of human beings. ”

"Soon, Bretonnia will be part of my body."

"All this...... It's all from the imagination. ”

Lu En whispered: "My imagination will definitely not ebb out...... An eternal order will be born in my hands. ”

"Boom!"

The Imperial artillery began to counterattack, and soon a mobile Imperial army appeared through the eastern gate of Cologne, apparently trying to escape.

Lu En shouted with an expressionless face: "Drive the Imperial people out of Cologne, no need to pursue!" ”

Luen's voice echoed throughout the battlefield, and it soon reached the ears of the soldiers of Bato's conquest front.

Now the battle line of Bato conquest has rushed to the city wall!

Yes, after paying thousands of casualties, the warriors of Bartow's conquest line quickly climbed the walls with ladders, and with their blades they drove the Empire in plate armor down the walls.

Yes, there is a gap in equipment between the two sides, and there is also a gap in training.

But the gap between the two sides did not make people despair, and the morale of the warriors in Bretonnia was high, and the number was more than that of the Empire, so the result was also doomed.

Barto's conquest of the front drove the Empire away from Cologne.

Of course, it also has to do with the fact that the Imperials intend to withdraw their troops.

There were corpses everywhere near the port, and soon the inhabitants of the vicinity of Cologne discovered that as long as they did not approach the port, or did not attack the undead, they would not be harmed.

The smell of blood was everywhere throughout Cologne.

Lu En flew in the sky on the Frost Demon Dragon, and he was currently looking for news of the Pseudo-King Jack.

He had already given the order, as long as he found Jack, he would correct the law on the spot!

Although this would make his fiancée sad, it was nothing compared to Bretonnia's future.

"I've found Jack's traces, come on!" Suddenly, a soldier shouted loudly in the city.

Jack's head was worth three thousand gold coins, which was not a small amount of money.

However, it is not realistic for ordinary soldiers to want to take it privately, after all, Jack will have dozens of guards on the battlefield.

Then it's best to call in reinforcements.

Because Lu En also stipulated that as long as the first person to discover Jack's traces, he could receive three hundred gold coins.

It's not easy, and it's impossible to farm with 300 gold coins.

Lu En didn't go to see Jack's tragic situation, he understood that the puppet king would not survive, and he was more concerned about the letter he had written to Emperor Karl of the Sigmar Empire not long ago.

I believe that the letter has now reached the emperor's table.
