Travel through time and become a member of the Warhammer Empire

As a duchy in Bretonnia with relatively few resources and manpower, the Duchy of Artois's only source of economic income is diplomatic trade.

After all, the Ardennes Forest is always in a stage of expansion, and the large number of Bretonnian farmers who die every year cannot make such a forest disappear completely.

The Duchy of Artois, which lacked arable land but had abundant wood and leather production, chose to trade with Marienburg.

Wood and leather could be sold to Marienburg through the Bogopo Fortress controlled by Marienburg.

With its well-developed shipbuilding industry, Marienburg was able to immediately turn wood and leather into the best merchant ships and finally put them into trade.

Moreover, Bogopo Fortress is not far from Marienburg. You can see the Gray Mountains and the location of the fortress just by looking up.

Wendlow raised his hand and pointed, and Mousse nodded in agreement.

After following the businessman for so long, she has learned a lot of business skills.

The freight donkey cart is already full, and now the goods have to be sold to clear the inventory for cash before entering the next business cycle.

The logistics of goods over and over again can increase the wealth of traveling merchants.

Since they were returning to the Empire to do business, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse agreed after a brief discussion.

There are currently few opportunities to gain chivalry in Bretonnia, but if you enter the Empire, you might be able to accumulate a lot.

After all, they are all human beings. Although the chivalry awarded to nobles who help the empire will be halved, the empire will certainly encounter more troubles than before because it does not have the blessing of the Lady of the Lake.

Solving problems for the empire's country bumpkins is also a good way to gain chivalry.

The discussion of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse has concluded, and they are willing to go to the Empire.

And a new contract has also come out. Windlo will lead them, and they will protect Windlo's safety in the chaotic empire.

All you need to do is provide guidance and housekeeping services to get the safe protection of the Bretonnian knights.

Fortunately, it didn't cost much money, so Windlow naturally agreed to such a win-win agreement.

The group set out north, slowly leaving the Ardennes Forest and the Duchy of Artois, and arrived at the territory of Bogopo Fortress.

This should be the best fortress city in the empire because all management rights are controlled by Marienburg.

Each person paid a tax of 1 copper coin, raw materials were subject to a 7% tariff, timber was rebated 5%, donkeys were tax-free and were inspected for diseases.

The knight tax in Bretonnia was 2 copper coins, which the knights could naturally accept since they considered themselves superior.

Without any interrogation or exploitation, Windlow passed through such a fortress easily.

No wonder Marienburg's economy is developing rapidly. If there is no need for power to intervene in the economy, the economy will grow in the most brutal way.

Moreover, we are still in a period of economic upswing, although it is very easy to cause a huge gap between the rich and the poor.

So why not accumulate as much wealth as possible during periods of economic growth?

This sudden thought made Windlow sigh deeply. After the market was opened, he was afraid to enter the market and start a business, and finally he was limited to poverty.

Whether it is timidity, hesitation, or an obsession with stability, many people always lament why they have always been so poor after missing opportunities.

Why do I have to pursue stability? Now is the best time to make money.

"Moose, our schedule has changed. We are not going to Marienburg. We are going to Rickland to make some war money."

"That's more reasonable. You can earn more by fighting and killing people. Besides, they are just civil wars among humans. There is no big threat."

Mousse laughed and casually cracked his joints, and he thought about how he would perform on the battlefield.

"War? What war?"

Justice, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, naturally heard what Windlow said and immediately stepped forward. As he claimed to be righteous, he of course stuck his shovel into the ground.

He would not stand by and watch the war happen.

The Bretonnians are not imperial people, so Windlow can naturally say a few more words.

"Civil war is about to break out in Reikland, with rebels attacking the Elector's army."

"How dare someone betray the king and the lord?"

The female knight named Honor widened her eyes. How could this happen?

In Bretonnia, every knight swore to accept the leadership of the noble superior and obey the lord's everything.

Even if there is a problem with the lord, the knights will not openly oppose the superior nobles.

Unless there is a word from the goddess of the lake or the lake fairy, or an extermination order issued by the king.

Otherwise, knights would not go to war with each other, let alone engage in civil war, which is extremely blasphemous to chivalry.

At the same time, once they are forced into a civil war, the chivalrous knights will take the initiative to stand on the side that is protected and blessed by the goddess, as well as the side with a higher title.

Even though no one knew why civil war broke out in Reikland of the Empire, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse immediately stood on the side of the Elector Count of Reikland.

It must be the rebels' problem, definitely not the Elector's problem.

At the same time, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse thought for a moment and came up with a very good idea.

"We're going to launch a chivalrous expedition!"

The knight named Justice stood up and raised the shovel in his hand.

"The purpose of this chivalrous expedition is to aid the barbaric empire and protect the legitimacy of the nobles' rule!"

This sentence is exactly what Windlow was thinking, and it is good for everyone.

Since everyone had the same destination, they immediately turned the donkey cart around and headed from Marienburg towards Ehrhart's location.

With the help of the official roads within the empire, the group passed through Elhart at the fastest speed, ignored all local changes, and returned directly to the capital, Aldolf.

In the Elector's Palace in the capital, Karl Franz, the young Elector, was walking around in his palace.

He originally wanted to live a simple and stable life as a rich second-generation, but he encountered too many changes in this year.

His father, the emperor, died early, and he was the only male in the family, so he had to inherit the position of emperor.

But he was too young and had no control over his army.

A small number of people loyal to the late emperor remained loyal to Karl Franz, Prince of Altdorf and Elector of Reikland.

At the funeral of the late emperor, all the electors of the empire gathered in Altdorf. In addition to expressing their condolences, they also discussed the candidate for the next emperor.

After all, this is a rule left over from the time of the first emperor Sigmar. Once the emperor dies, the electors must elect a new emperor as soon as possible.

Most of the big electors thought that Karl was not qualified enough to be emperor, and they believed that Boris, the Elector of Midden, was more suitable for the position of emperor.

Originally, Carl wanted to be a lazy rich second-generation, but last summer when he was hunting in the forest, the Green Knight of Bretonnia came to meet him.

According to the prophecy of the Lady of the Lake, an apocalypse is bound to happen in the near future. If Carl ascends the throne, the empire united with Bretonnia will prevent the apocalypse from coming.

Plus the support of Imperial Marshal Helberg.

To this end, Karl Franz embarked on a campaign to canvass votes and went to the Mute Territory to seek votes from the halflings.

Now that he has the votes from Lord Mute, he still has to deal with the most dangerous situation in Lord Rick.

According to intelligence from the spy planted by the Emperor's Eye in the city of Uberek, there are already signs of rebellion in the three southern cities.
