Travel through time and become a member of the Warhammer Empire

The years since Windlow left Bretonnia have been the happiest years for the Bretonnian peasants.

The chivalrous knights came and ran around everywhere. They replaced the ecological position of the beastmen. As long as the forest was swept by the chivalrous knights, no living beastmen could be found in it.

All the beastmen's bodies were smashed and torn apart, and even the horns on their heads were torn off by brute force, just for the military merit of the chivalrous knights.

The entire territory of Bretonnia has not encountered a Beastman attack for more than ten years.

According to reasonable speculation, most of the beastmen were forced to migrate further south.

Even the Beastman Lord Morgul Shadownemesis, who was born in the Arden Forest, could not withstand such attacks and migrated with his Beastman tribe to Estalia further south.

The corruption of Morgul Shadownemesis was indeed terrible, and he was even killed by the wood elves several times. But even so, this beastman lord who could resurrect infinitely had no choice but to abandon the Arden Forest and flee to the south under the siege of endless chivalrous knights.

The entire Bretonnia is now free of internal and external enemies, but the ever-increasing number of chivalrous knights and limited resources have become the biggest points of conflict.

If there is no external intervention, a big wave will inevitably come suddenly.

It’s a pity that not many people can see this situation. Windlo is one of them, and this Holy Grail Knight is of course another one.

Although the Holy Grail Knights were the strongest group in Bretonnia, all of them were so obsessed with their faith in the Lady of the Lake that they paid no attention to the knights and serfs.

The only person in the entire Bretonnia who is willing to deal with this situation is the Holy Grail Knight in front of him.

Although he wanted to deal with it, he had no management methods. In order to consume the excessive population, he couldn't just let them go to the northern Norse Peninsula to die.

Many years ago, in order to solve the problem of too many knights in the country, the then King Louis of Bretonnia and the Knights of the Empire formed a coalition to attack Araby together.

This Holy Grail Knight doesn't have such great ability, but it is not impossible for him to attract hundreds of followers with just a wave of his arm.

So after learning that there were beastmen here, an idea came to his mind.

Can we send the chivalrous knights in Bretonnia to the Empire and let them consume each other with the Beastmen to ease the conflict between man and land?

A wave of Bretonnia's chivalrous knights will die, but it doesn't matter. Survival of the fittest is beneficial to the population, and Mousse fully agrees with this.

Bretonnian knights who survive and have military merit will gain wealth and prestige, which is beneficial to them personally and can serve as a good example.

For the empire, it would naturally be beneficial if someone could clear out the beastmen in the forest.

The only problem is that the Empire is unwilling to pay the Knights to wipe out the Beastmen.

At the same time, the Empire and Bretonnia did not sign any military passage rights, so even if the Bretonnian knights wanted to come to the Empire to deliver justice for free, they could not do so.

The Holy Grail Knight and Windlow came up with a plan.

Because the empire was an electoral system, the emperor had no control over the land of the electors, the electors had no control over the land of the earls, and the earls had no control over the land of the viscounts.

A baron like Windlow is still a baron. In theory, he only needs to pay taxes, and he has great autonomy in all other matters.

There is no problem at all in signing a population movement treaty.

He welcomed the arrival of chivalrous knights. As long as they came to his town, they could obtain citizenship. At the same time, they could get enough rewards after hunting beastmen and bandits.

In order to satisfy the chivalrous knights' thirst for honor, after completing the task of killing beastmen and bandits, they can even take away an iron medal to show off themselves.

Killing one hundred ordinary beastmen will earn you the Imperial Cross Medal of the First Class. Ten first-class medals can be exchanged for second-class medals, with the highest being ten thousand levels.

The medal itself is a piece of iron and is worthless. Its only function is to be used as a record to prove the achievements of the chivalrous knights.

After discussing this plan, the Holy Grail Knight felt embarrassed.

If this plan is followed, the people will be sent here by themselves, and Windlow will have to pay money as a bounty. Even if the knights bring back the intact body of the beastman, it will not be worth much money, or it cannot be sold at all.

If the horns of beastmen could be sold for money within the empire, then within three years, the problem of the beastman infestation in the entire Old World would be completely solved.

This is also the doubt in the heart of the Holy Grail Knight. The Beastmen have nothing valuable on them, so why is Windlow willing to give benefits and advantages to the chivalrous knights who hunt down the Beastmen?

Businessmen as a group can be cowardly, vicious, and bad, but they cannot be stupid.

A foolish nobleman can enjoy his old age in his position, but a foolish businessman will not live to see the sunrise a week later.

Windlow's purpose was definitely to make money, but he only spent money in this action and didn't make any money.

Could it be that he has mastered the cooking techniques of the Beastmen, or is it that Beastmen furs are recently popular in the Empire?

All of this was beyond the imagination of the Holy Grail Knight. Mousse was certainly not stupid, and he could naturally figure out that Windlow had been losing money from the beginning to the end.

"Even if a chivalrous knight comes and is given a silver coin, your finances will be completely depleted in a few days!"

Mousse actually cared about the stability of Windlow's wealth. Although the two's wealth was completely separate, they still maintained an entangled relationship of prospering together and suffering together.

As for Windlow, his understanding of wealth has gone beyond everyone's comprehension.

Ordinary people think that wealth is gold and silver currency or banknotes. The more gold coins one has, the more wealth one has.

Anyone with a little bit of ability knows that labor is wealth, and that owning labor can create wealth continuously.

Having reached the stage that Windlow was at, it became apparent to him that a fundamental truth had occurred.

Wealth is neither gold or silver coins, nor the labor force at one's disposal, nor plunder by swords, but a more vague, intangible but real theory.

"Consumption."

Windlow said this in a decisive tone. Mousse and the Holy Grail Knight both found it very funny, but neither of them laughed. They listened to the subsequent explanation with a stern face.

In Bretonnia, the idea that farmers are producers is naturally unquestionable, but in Windlo's mind, the high and mighty knights are also producers.
