Travel through time and become a member of the Warhammer Empire

"Phoenix King, the investigation results are out."

The high elves' warships would certainly not be sent to outsiders for free.

When the imperial troops led by Windlow disembarked to enjoy delicious food and rewards, the high elves' reconnaissance had already completed a comprehensive survey of the empire's military strength.

An Imperial bust was placed before Phoenix King Finubar.

This thing looks very low quality, just two pieces of steel fused together, with barely four holes in it.

One hole is for the head, two holes are for the arms, and one hole is for the waist.

Moreover, this is the most basic armor in the empire, also known as provincial army armor. Any provincial soldier who has served for one year can have this equipment.

"Phoenix King, the Empire's half-breastplate is not as good as our elven scale armor. If we use specific data to speak, our scale armor can provide 40 points of armor value, while the Empire's half-breastplate can only provide 30 points of armor value."

"How can this be?"

Although they were full of disdain and arrogance, all the high elf military nobles present were stunned.

Ordinary people would of course think that the elven scale armor that can provide 40 points of armor value is of higher quality.

But any soldier who has fought in a war knows what the Imperial armor means.

The elven scale armor covers almost the entire body, from head to toe, and it also comes with skirt armor. It is of course reasonable that it can provide 40 points of armor value.

But this half-body breastplate of the Empire only protects the upper body. How can it provide 30 points of armor value?

Quickly dress the training dummies with Imperial half-armor and Elven scale armor.

At the same time, two high elf archers of exactly the same level were dispatched to aim and shoot.

The damage caused by arrows penetrating armor is actually not much different. This is simply unbelievable!

The Imperial Half-Armor can be forged by a blacksmith with just a few blows of the hammer.

The production of elven scale armor requires extremely complex craftsmanship, and there is no way to mass-produce it.

Just from one piece of equipment, Phoenix King Finubar saw the potential of the human race in the Empire.

It was exactly the same feeling he had had when he first set foot in the Old World as a navigator more than three hundred years ago.

Humans progressed at a rapid pace, even far exceeding the elves and dwarves.

"The Empire. It is said that the humans in the Empire stole the armor forging technology from the dwarves, so this half-body armor has this effect."

Due to the pride and arrogance of the High Elves, they will not acknowledge the great contribution that the human race has made to the Order camp and the entire world.

Three thousand years ago, when the elves repelled all demons, the so-called imperial people were nothing more than savages wandering in the various forests of the old world.

It is a species similar to the greenskins, dirty, barbaric, and without any civilization.

The only thing worth mentioning is that when the high elves left the Old World, this species called humans occupied the towns and cities abandoned by the elves and took the initiative to learn the elves' culture and technology.

In the eyes of almost all elves, the ecological niche occupied by humans is nothing more than servants, slaves, and Chaos vanguards.

Even after three thousand years, almost all elves maintain this attitude.

Except for Phoenix King Finubar and Supreme Grand Mentor Teclis.

The former sailed to the human kingdom in his youth and witnessed the development of mankind firsthand, while the latter was aware of the magical talent of humans and single-handedly established the Imperial Mage Academy during the reign of Emperor Magnus.

This half-armor was placed in front of all high elf generals and officers for only one purpose.

"Times have changed, our friends. Humans are a potential ally. If we don't fight for them, they will be fought for by Chaos, the Dark Elves, and even the Dwarves."

All the elven generals and officials fell silent. They seemed to have guessed something.

Is Finubar, the Phoenix King known as the Navigator, really an Elven Emperor? An elf who worships the Empire?

Although the attack of the dark elves is imminent, how can the high elves ask for help from the humans of the empire?

Among all humans, only the Holy Grail Knights of Bretonnia have the status to talk to the High Elves on an equal footing.

The human race of the Empire is not worth the high elves' time and attention.

"The Imperial Provincial Army? The regular troops are not even as good as our militia. With our martial arts skills, we can easily break through the Imperial lines."

The noises of booing began to rise one after another, and the elf quarrel that gave Finubar the most headache and was also what he was most accustomed to was about to begin again.

It seemed that he, the Phoenix King, would be treated as a mere figurehead again. Looking at the quarreling people in the audience, he could only regretfully announce the adjournment of the meeting.

But this time, of course he came prepared.

When I traveled around the Old World in my youth, no matter what I told my story after returning, my compatriots would regard it as hearsay.

This time, the living proof was before them: the Empire's organized army had just completed its attack on the dark elves and was resting in the port of Lothern.

If he doesn't seize the opportunity, he will never be able to fulfill his ambition as the Phoenix King.

"The average age of the Imperial Provincial Army is thirty. What were you doing when you were thirty?"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the elves present fell silent.

The average lifespan of high elves is a thousand years. When they are in their thirties, they are probably still learning the most basic knowledge or undergoing the simplest military training.

The imperial men who were thirty years old were already well-trained provincial troops.

"Do you know why the Imperial Legion is called the Provincial Army? Because their provinces are similar to our kingdoms, and this kind of provincial army can be trained continuously as long as their lords want."

You know, in order to resist Chaos and Dark Elves, and to make up for the losses in the War of Longbeard, the High Elves have a universal military service system.

Every elf will devote twenty years of his life to the military camp.

The population of the high elves is only six million. If it comes to the last moment, they can mobilize an army of six hundred thousand people.

The Empire and the Elves are completely different in size.

"The empire has a population of 60 million. As long as you are at least 15 years old and have received three years of education, you can be a qualified provincial soldier."

As a navigator who has traveled all over the world, Finubar knows too much.

"The Dark Elves have a population of 5 million, the Dwarves have a population of 3 million, Bretonnia has a population of 50 million, and Cathay has a terrifying population of 80 million."

"Even if three, no, even if ten humans were to exchange for one elf, the elf would still not be able to be replaced."

Phoenix King Finubar made his statement word by word, as if describing a scene from a prophecy.

"I can clearly foresee that the race with the absolute advantage in population will be able to dominate the world, or completely influence the direction of the world."
