Travel through time and become a member of the Warhammer Empire

I have some impression of Archaon, this Windlow. It is said that he is a wanted criminal in the empire with a bounty of 500 gold coins on his head.

Merchants in the empire have more or less carried some wanted notices to avoid being cheated by these vicious people when they are doing business outside.

So he only needed to use his brain to recall everything he had seen in the Empire's wanted poster.

Archaon, whose real name was Diederic Kastner, was a war orphan born in Nordland and later joined the Knights of the Twin Comet.

It would have been a good script, but for some reason this guy went to the imperial capital of Altdorf and kidnapped an archbishop of the Church of Sigmar.

At that time, the imperial army had already dispatched cannons and killed the archbishop with one shot. As a result, Archaon fled to the Norse Peninsula.

So the empire pinned the crime of murdering the archbishop on him and offered him a reward of 500 gold coins.

In fact, Windlow didn't feel much about this incident, so why did he remember it so clearly?

After all, according to popular belief, the archbishop was killed by an imperial cannon and had nothing to do with Archaon.

As for why the archbishop was kidnapped, Windlow didn't know the actual situation, but when he thought about the church's tax collection methods and various oppressive words, everything could be explained.

And since this happened so long ago, Archaon himself, as a human, must have died long ago.

Perhaps one of his descendants has inherited his name and continues to develop and expand his power on the Norse Peninsula.

But for the bounty hunters of the Empire, such a wanted order has never been revoked. Sooner or later, they will be able to kill a man named Archaon at random and return to the Empire to collect the bounty of 500 gold coins.

Leslie had already said all she wanted to say. The pain of not being able to hunt made her stand there in a daze.

Izexi handed her a fishing rod and asked her to hunt fish. The high elves always felt like they were poor relatives to the wood elves.

The Norse tribes in the north are at war, so does that mean they can make money from it?

Windlow once smelled a keen business opportunity, and because it was first-hand intelligence brought back by the wood elves, he also had an information advantage.

What does it take to fight a war?

The Norscans were different from the Empire, but not exactly the same.

Just like Mousse, his combat effectiveness is completely different when he has weapons and equipment and when he doesn't.

People with armor and weapons will always have more advantages, and Archaon in the north is at war. If we can get a batch of weapons now and sell them, we can definitely make a lot of money.

He did what he said and used the start-up capital given by Izexi to import a large number of local weapons.

The Norse Peninsula is like this, with a harsh environment and scarce resources.

Not to mention steel, even food resources are scarce, and there is a lack of fuel. The amount of ironware here is almost visibly scarce.

And there is another very counterintuitive point, that is, the Norsemen's plunder of the empire was not a plunder of wealth.

Gold, silver, and works of art were of no value to the Norsemen.

Except for the Norse tribes that believe in Khorne, all other Norse tribes rarely kill prisoners. They have four no-killing rules.

Men in the empire will not be killed. As long as they lay down their weapons, they will become the best slaves and can be used as labor. If a few craftsmen happen to be captured, then the tribe will make a fortune.

The women of the empire will not be killed. After all, they are just women of the empire. They can be captured and used as the most suitable population.

Children in the empire are not killed. Children who have not grown up know nothing. As long as they are raised up, they can become the combat power and labor force of the entire tribe.

The Empire does not kill mutants because they are located in the north, where Chaos corruption is already serious. The mutations that are hopeless in the eyes of the Imperials are not unacceptable to the Norsemen.

It’s just that the imperial officials like to intimidate local dignitaries and merchants, saying that the Norsemen went south to plunder gold and silver, thus forcing the dignitaries and merchants to pay ransom to the empire.

This statement is obviously untenable. At a very young age, Windlow understood this truth.

Why did the Norsemen go south to steal gold? Was it to eat gold or to use it as fuel?

Therefore, the Norsemen can often engage in trade exchanges, unless such a tribe is too close to the north and is severely polluted by Chaos.

Soon, a large number of weapons and equipment had been purchased and only needed to be shipped to the north, which would definitely make a lot of money from the guy named Archaon.

The carriage was ready and everyone was in their positions. After just one day of rest, they set out on their business trip again.

Heading north, we entered the Vanaheim Mountains, where it was said that Archaon was besieging the hostile Norse tribes.

In the center of the military formation, Archaon was sitting on his skeleton throne, wondering what he was thinking about.

"Report! Lord Chief! There is an Imperial merchant outside who has items for sale? Should we rob or buy and sell?"

After conquering and unifying this Norse tribe, Archaon became the chieftain of the tribe and enjoyed the power of life and death.

But even such a powerful person in the tribe immediately stood up and felt a little hesitant when he heard about the arrival of imperial merchants.

Inlaid in his helmet is a gleaming gem called the Eye of Sherrron.

This secret treasure can give Archaon the power of prophecy, allowing him to predict the enemy's actions in battle.

Even in daily life, I can predict what will happen next. Although the time in advance is not much, it can still have a very good effect, and it is never wrong every time.

But today a huge problem arose and the prophecy became invalid.

The Eye of Sherron had never anticipated the arrival of merchants.

Is there something wrong with the Eye of Sherlen, or does the appearance of that merchant mean something?

Archaon didn't know this and slowly stood up from his throne.

"I'll go trade with him."

This incident frightened the Norse warrior in front of him. He had never seen the chief make such a choice.

Moreover, the other party was just a simple merchant from the Empire. Could it be that they knew each other? I had heard before that Chief Archaon was an Imperial who came to the Norsca Peninsula in the north from the Empire.

Without thinking too much, after hearing the order, the Norse warrior immediately ran out of the tent and shouted outside to convey the message to the sentry at the entrance of the camp.

"Open the door! Let the Imperial merchant in."
