Travel through time and become a member of the Warhammer Empire

The ships returning to the Kingdom of Nagarythe have completed their docking.

Cart after car of supplies and materials were being transported out of the cabin. The female rat man was eating the cheese in his hand while making the most detailed calculations.

This is the talent of the Skaven, they have the most active brains and the most exciting minds.

The only problem with being able to stay focused for long periods of time is that it takes a lot of energy to maintain this state.

A well-fed Skaven is definitely the most powerful being in the world.

In a short while, the female rat had sorted out all the accounts, and all kinds of data could be used directly.

No need to worry about the increase in the number of people to manage, which would lead to the depletion of supply lines.

An entire shipload of supplies poured down, and the most crucial thing was the dual identity authentication from the Witch King Malekith and the Phoenix King Finubar.

However, whether the local elves obey the rule of the human Windlow does not depend on the so-called political endorsement.

After all, the elves of the Kingdom of Nagarythe disliked the dark elves and hated the high elves as well.

Since the destruction of their kingdom, they have been wandering on the edge of the entire elven race. Even the wood elves have a stronger sense of belonging to their homeland and racial honor than them.

The elven nobles of the city of Tal Anlek still gave face to the Phoenix King and came out to welcome Windlow's arrival.

It wasn't a big surprise to see that this guy was a human.

At least all the nobles were present, and they whispered to each other, talking openly about how to idle Windlow and his party.

Provide them with delicious food and drink, and then make all the conspiracies and tricks of the Phoenix King or the Witch King fail.

From the looks in the eyes of these nobles, Wendlow could see their basic mentality.

That is, he was too lazy to initiate violent actions, and at the same time, he was too lazy to cooperate with Windlow in any matters.

A typical non-violent, non-cooperative and basically neutral state.

Fortunately, at least he didn't have to face their hostility right from the start, which also made Windlow's confidence increase a little.

Since we want to manage the entire Kingdom of Nagarythe, this coastal city called Tal Anlek will be a perfect testing point.

However, if orders or laws are issued rashly, the locals will certainly not accept them so easily.

The most important point to gain the trust of the local elves is simple, that is, to let them know that it is profitable to follow Windlo's rule.

Humans, dwarves, elves, and even some orcs all know that gold is a very useful thing in this world.

Gold can drive humans crazy, make dwarves excited, and even make elves put down all their arrogance.

If things are difficult to solve, then take out gold. If they are still difficult to solve, it only means that the gold taken out is not enough.

"Female Ratman, please allocate the gold coins. I need about 500 cash here. Izexi, I need a basic information table of this city."

Sitting in the empty and dusty noble office, Windlow skillfully began to do everything a ruling lord should do.

Gold is indeed attractive, but it is the opposite for the ratmen. For a race like this that only cares about food and dimensional stone, gold has little appeal to them.

It was a good plan to let the female ratman close the accounts, and she was too lazy to embezzle.

As for the basic situation of this city, the magician Hoss, who acts as a spy among the high elves, must know it clearly.

Mousse controlled the military power of the entire army. When the mother ratman and Izexi went to perform their tasks, she came back to report some very bad news.

"The local nobles all have private soldiers. Every noble has one, and there are quite a few of them. The most critical problem is that they are united and difficult to separate."

This information was naturally within Windlow's prediction.

The more dangerous the environment, the more people will instinctively gather together to deal with various potential threats.

It is not a good idea to take action against those nobles for the time being, and they are the most basic force for Windlow to rule here.

"Let's adopt a strategy of winning over people first, and then draw up a list to see who should be purged."

As soon as Mousse received the order and left, Izexi brought back the information of the entire city.

There was no need to spend time investigating these, of course. The conspiracy of the Phoenix Court had been implemented in every city in Ulthuan, and Tar Anlek was no exception.

"A port city with a marble mine nearby. It was turned into a wasteland by magic during the first elven split many years ago."

This is the general information of such a city. As for the population, taxes, products and economic conditions, they were all sorted out by Izexi on a piece of paper.

When Wendlow saw it, he felt overwhelmed.

A port city of the elves is not as good as a free city of the empire.

Take the Free City of Uberrick as an example.

Uberek has a permanent population of 6, and with the floating population, the total is about 8.

Close to the river, with commercial trade as its main business, it could provide the empire with a tribute of 1000 gold coins every year.

Considering that Uberrick is a free city that was independent from Reikland, the local tax revenue must have exceeded 1000 gold coins.

Although it relies on commercial trade, it is also able to achieve self-sufficiency through agriculture and animal husbandry.

The standing provincial army has as many as 500 men, and can easily resist the beastmen lurking in the nearby forests.

Consider the elven city of Tal Anlek.

The permanent population is only 1 people, and the floating population is almost zero. After all, traveling in the wasteland kingdom of Nagaryath is tantamount to suicide.

It is close to the sea, but was abandoned by the Phoenix Court and the dark elves and was not incorporated into the commercial route.

Despite having a good port, they can only do some fishing work. Not to mention paying taxes, they even need financial subsidies from the kingdom.

Although it belongs to the Kingdom of Nagarythe, other kingdoms of the High Elf also regularly transport supplies to Tal Anlek's compatriots.

After all, if they were forced into a desperate situation, they might immediately open up to the dark elves.

There are no standing soldiers, all of them are private soldiers of the nobles.

Thanks to Izehi's intelligence network, we were able to find out the exact number. The private soldiers of all the nobles combined did not exceed 100 people.

For other elven kingdoms, it only has one role, which is to collect marble and then transport it to other kingdoms to earn income. It has no external allies.

There was no one around at the moment, so Izexi clearly stretched out his finger and placed it on his neck.

"The local nobles have no more than a hundred private soldiers. They can easily achieve centralization in this way."
