Travel through time and become a member of the Warhammer Empire

In the capital city of Altdorf, Windlow once again returned to such a place, but he did not go anywhere else. He squatted at the entrance of the banking district, near the Elector's Palace.

Wood and leather, both of which have not been processed yet, are sold to nobles?

Mousse looked puzzled but remained silent. After all, he didn't understand business, so it was best not to say too much.

As for the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, they stood straight like a city wall, waiting for the so-called great nobles in their eyes to appear.

When everyone was wondering who to sell these things from Windlow, the buyer finally came.

Karl Franz had just returned from the barracks with some very bad news.

He had no way of calling upon an army to fight for him.

It's not that he can't get others to fight with him, but that he can't take the soldiers away.

Although the imperial captains are nominally loyal to the Elector Counts.

But you, a mere Karl Franz, haven’t even gotten comfortable in the position of Elector.

There's no decision on how to divide the cake, and there's no reward either, so it's not appropriate to ask everyone to fight for you.

This is actually the case throughout the empire.

Every rich second-generation who is ready to take over his father's job has to spend a long time trying to please his father's circle, otherwise he really can't be ordered around.

This is true for the gangs at the bottom, and the same is true for the palace at the top.

So now the biggest problem for Elector Karl Franz is that he has no independent military power.

When faced with attacks from others, those generals and imperial captains would definitely unite around Carl.

If they wanted to take the initiative to attack others, those generals and imperial captains had plenty of excuses and reasons such as being sick.

Mousse knew this best, because the dark elves had placed these principles in the most obvious position, and every dark elf knew who to be loyal to temporarily and who to betray in the end.

Now the only people Karl Franz could easily mobilize were the Reik Guards, some of his personal soldiers who had been raised since childhood, and of course the ever-loyal Imperial Marshal Helberg.

There are not many Rick Guards stationed in Altdorf, and it is impossible to mobilize all of them. The Imperial Marshal cannot fight on the same stage with Carl, so someone must guard the capital.

The transfer of power is like walking on a single-plank bridge. If you are not careful, you will fall into a rushing river.

With a splash, a child playing beside the Rick River jumped into the water, then fluttered his head out of the icy water and played with his friends.

On the bridge not far from the river, Carl was preparing to return to the Elector's Palace under the protection of several Rick Guards.

He clearly saw Wendlow sitting on a donkey cart next to the bridge.

I have met this young man several times, so I don't have to worry about my noble status as the Elector and waved to him.

"Lord Elector, as you know, I am a traveling merchant. Here is a batch of goods. I wonder if you like them."

This sentence made Carl laugh and cry. He was already busy and exhausted, and he still had to come and see the goods of a donkey cart merchant like you?

Could it be a cart of equipment from Nuln's Ironclad Army, or a large amount of wealth from Zhendan, or gold sent by the high elves?

But the Elector still maintained his composure, nodded to Windlow, and signaled all Rick's guards to stay where they were and take a look at what good stuff was on the donkey cart.

No matter what it is, considering this, Wen, Wen what was it, oh, considering that Wendlo had helped me before, buying them all is also a blessing.

When I stepped forward and took a look, I saw that the Elector had a frown on his face, but then his brows relaxed after a moment.

Strong wood and leather are the raw materials for basic weapons and armor.

With these things and a little gold, you can go to any village or town and find a young man willing to fight for a living.

Wood can be processed into the best spears, crossbows, crossbow arrows and bows, while leather can be made into the most basic protective gear.

Although an army formed by this kind of garbage has no combat effectiveness compared to an elite legion, it is a good cannon fodder to fill the battle line.

If you recruit soldiers according to the normal conscription system, it will cost 800 gold coins to form a small legion.

However, if all the materials in this donkey cart were bought, not only could the cost of 100 gold coins be saved, but the three southern cities could also relax their vigilance.

Just recruiting people without purchasing weapons may be hiring servants to clean the manor.

Of course Karl Franz was willing to accept such a deal, a deal that only he and Windlow knew about.

All the cargo on the carriage was unloaded and taken back to the Elector's Palace by the Rick Guards.

This is where the Reiksguard are far superior to the Bretonnian Knights, they obey any order.

At the same time, seeing that Windlow had finished his work, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse also stepped forward.

Although the Bretonnian knights looked down on the vulgar imperial nobles, the Elector before them was still worthy of respect.

After the salute, Justice looked back at Bravery, who immediately pushed Honesty aside.

"Respected Elector Count of Reikland, the four of us are chivalrous knights from Bretonnia, and we came to this land under the guidance of the goddess."

"The goddess told us in her prophecy that Rickland might face a civil war in the future. The four of us are willing to join your team. We are not here for gold, silver, jewelry, wealth, or fertile land. We just want a meal and a bed to help you fight against the traitors."

As the Elector, Karl Franz must have had a lot of exchanges with Bretonnia. After all, there was only a gray mountain range between the two sides.

If it’s not for the gold and silver jewelry, it must be fake, and I will definitely be careless when giving them gifts.

At the same time, the Elector was naturally very clear about what these four people wanted to do, which was to gain military merit and chivalry by killing the rebels.

This is a very cost-effective deal, as you can directly recruit four chivalrous knights with rich combat experience, and there is no additional maintenance fee required.

Naturally, he agreed to the request from the Knights of Justice and allowed them to join the Elector's team.

However, he also hoped that the Bretonnian knights would abide by the principle of confidentiality and not tell anyone about the suppression of the rebellion.

Justice looked at Honesty, who had been carried far away by Bravery, and promised the Elector that no one else would know about this.

Windlow didn't mind becoming a middleman. It didn't matter. He sold the goods in the donkey cart at the most suitable price.

The next thing to do is to take Mousse back to the land of Bretonnia and continue the unfinished business trip.

But Mousse looked unhappy.

"Shouldn't we stay and kill together?"
