Travel through time and become a member of the Warhammer Empire

Ulthuan has some of the finest marine environments in the entire world.

Since this is a floating island created entirely by magic, there is no risk of reefs or grounding.

It is easy to circle the entire archipelago by just following the safe outer ring.

The journey was originally going to take more than two months, but with the help of the high elves' excellent warships and magic wind drives, plus Izeshi's familiarity with the terrain, it was possible.

With these three conditions combined, the three of them reached the north of the Osuan Islands in just one week.

This is the camp where the imperial army led by the female ratman is currently stationed.

It turns out that the rat people do have a strong talent for hoarding and building cities.

However, the architectural style is quite rat-man-like.

The camp was directly built into a nest-type building.

It is like a small mound that continues to extend upward, with various roads and artillery positions around it, making the most of the narrow space.

After all, when Windlow left, he said it was best not to cause territorial disputes.

In addition to developing towards the sky, under the leadership of the female rat man, they are of course also digging underground.

Currently, there are three floors of underground space used for storing food and temporary shelter, which has turned it into a stronghold that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Even a simple port was built for ships to dock.

After revealing their identities, the artillery in the hive also chose to change direction. At the port, the female ratman finally waited for Windlow.

She was suffering so much, she was a rat person and didn’t like to reveal her true identity in front of humans.

All I can say is that it’s a good thing that the people in the Empire didn’t know about the existence of the ratmen, and they all thought she was a halfling, so they were able to live in peace for such a long time.

But his identity as a rat man is real, and if he continues like this he will be discovered sooner or later.

Building the hive city and digging tunnels were all to cover up his identity. Now that Windlow is finally back, he can return the power directly.

While still at the port, Windlow loudly announced his return and announced that he had brought good news.

The imperial soldiers and civilians who followed him did not choose to make a living on the land of the elves because they had nothing to do.

Instead, they are desperate, having either lost their land or their wealth, and are ready to exchange their lives for reward.

It is true that many land problems can be temporarily solved in the land of the elves, but it cannot completely solve the wealth problem.

If Windlow doesn't come back, these soldiers and civilians will definitely mutiny, and then build ships to return to the empire by themselves, or become a wandering legion.

"Good news! The high elves are willing to hire us! With the same treatment as elven soldiers! The enemy is the dark elves!"

The Empire is a very warlike country, especially the people of Reikland, who are extremely enthusiastic about war.

War means wealth. A poor boy one second may become a knight the next.

However, since being a soldier is a job that requires a lot of effort, almost every soldier has developed the habit of spending a lot of money.

It would be a shame if a person died without spending all his money.

But this habit of spending money lavishly also makes soldiers a group with high income and high consumption.

In order to satisfy their desire for wealth, they will continue to serve in the military.

Someone who was set on making a quick buck might end up being an Imperial soldier his whole life.

Although they have food and drink in this nest now, a stable life is not what they pursue.

When they heard that there was a war to be fought, they were naturally excited, and the originally exhausted morale and slack military discipline were restored at once.

"Quick, everyone, organize your troops, and we will set off immediately after you assemble."

In just one hour, all the empire's troops had assembled and boarded the ship in an orderly manner.

In order to facilitate transportation, various cannons were directly mounted on both sides of the elven warship, which was quite appropriate.

Leslie, who is always quick-eyed and quick-handed, has already run to the highest mast of the ship.

When she was still in the Forest of Athel Loren, she loved to climb the tallest tree and look into the distance to pass the time.

This mast is just as tall as the tallest tree, and the top of the mast is also a good observation platform for reconnaissance.

"Pirates! Dark Elf Pirates!"

Before they had left the hive city far, even on the coastline north of Ulthuan, Leslie on the mast immediately reported a very bad situation.

Due to the loss of the entire Phoenix Gate Fortress, the northern part of Ulthuan has been basically abandoned by the High Elves, who have migrated to the south.

The Dark Elf navy could sail along such a coastline with impunity, plundering everything they could see.

Such a weak High Elf warship naturally became a hot commodity in the eyes of the two Dark Elf pirate ships.

"They are too fast, there are too many of us on the crew, and the human stuff is too heavy to run."

A Hos magician like Izeshi can judge the difference in strength between himself and the dark elves with just one glance.

It is simply unrealistic to want to escape because the warship is not as fast as the pirate ship.

There are only two options now: either land immediately and set up artillery to fight back.

However, considering that the Empire's artillery was heavy, there was not much time to deploy it.

Now there is only the second option.

"Hold the ship to the left and face the enemy from the side!"

"Meet the enemy from the side! Meet the enemy from the side!"

"Meet the enemy from the side!"

The orders were passed down layer by layer, and all the imperial artillery knew the next plan at the first time.

Of course, some of them served in the Imperial Navy, so they naturally knew what to do when facing pirates at sea.

"Get in range, open fire broadside!"

Imperial artillery will open fire as soon as the enemy comes into range.

The cannons were made of Nuln steel and were able to withstand the force of a considerable amount of gunpowder, in order to propel the heavy lead projectiles a thousand meters away.

Seeing that the dark elves' ships were within range, the soldiers opened the protected gunpowder, stuffed it into the gun barrels according to the proportion, and then compacted it with wooden plugs.

Then the strong man, who had already taken off his shirt, picked up the huge lead bullet and stuffed it into the barrel of the gun.

The shell slowly slid into the barrel and then was heavily compacted, and it was ready to fire.

The imperial artillerymen behind the giant cannon immediately began to pull the artillery and aim the muzzle at the dark elf navy.

Wind direction, wind speed, shell drop rate, air humidity.

As expected, he is an outstanding graduate of the Imperial Nuln Gunnery Academy and knows how to operate artillery.

"Into the hitting range! Fire!"
