Chapter 1153 Reward
Along with the White Wolf Knight and Priest Ulric came Enil's Forest Guard.
Imrik temporarily threw Enil aside. What he was most concerned about now was whether a warlord was possessed by Bilak, not Enil crying miserably.
The White Wolf Knight was tall, and his unkempt long hair and beard looked very rough. The plate armor made of fine steel was obviously made by a dwarf master. The skull crusher in his hand could easily smash the head of a big orc.
Priest Ulric's dress... except for wearing a white wolf head hat symbolizing the blessing of the gods, it was almost the same as the White Wolf Knight.
Compared with Priest Sigma, who occasionally debated verbally, Priest Ulric was better at using the skull crusher to debate physically, smashing the opponent's head into pieces, and all disputes disappeared...
The knight nodded to greet the Phoenix King and introduced himself first.
"Phoenix King, I am Ackerman Uxer, an inner knight of the White Wolf Knights, and a knight vassal of the Elector of Nordland."
Generally speaking, those who can get into the inner knights will at least get a title, not an honorary title like a knight.
But the situation in Nordland is a bit special. Although the Gowther family is an elector, the title is always a baron.
The full name of Nordland is also the Grand Baron of Nordland, not the Grand Duke of Middenland.
Of course, the title system of the empire is a bit confusing. The one who can really stand at the top of the status is the Elector, and most of the others are titles that refer to a region.
For example, the Duke of Kronborg, second only to Midden and Rick in terms of title, but in fact, the Duke of Kronborg is just the ruler of a castle and nearby territories, not a huge political force like the two Electors.
The kingdom with a truly strict feudal hierarchy system has to look at Bretonnia. The duke is the duke, the actual ruler of a duchy, not the title of a castle.
Imrick glanced at the White Wolf Knight and felt that his strength should be acceptable, and he was also a good player among humans.
"Why didn't you participate in the selection of the Teutonic Guard? With your strength, you should be able to be a warrior guarding the Holy Flame."
I didn't expect the Phoenix King to ask such a sensitive topic, but the White Wolf Knight was not a fussy person. "Of course I participated, but there are many people in the Knights who are stronger than me. The Teutonic Guard is not only the White Wolf Knights. As long as you believe in the White Wolf God devoutly, you can get the honor of guarding the Holy Flame."
After chatting for a while, Imrick said the topic in the tent: "I'm looking for a Chaos warlord. I don't know his name, characteristics, or abilities... but I must find him."
The three unknowns directly confused the White Wolf Knight and Pastor Yurik. Is there anyone who finds people like you? Can I find a Chaos warlord to meet your requirements?
Ackerman spread his hands, "Your Majesty, the White Wolf Knight is willing to serve you. Yurik has said many times that the dragon and the white wolf are unbreakable allies... But your words are too vague. The definition of a Norse warlord is very vague. The leader of a tribe of 100 people can be called a warlord, and the leader of a warband of 10,000 people is also a warlord."
"I don't care what the Norse barbarians define warlords as... I went to the Church of Yurik just to ask you to explain one thing to the military organizations in the empire for me."
"Find this warlord favored by the dark gods. I don't ask you to bring his head to me, just find his traces and let me confirm that it is the person I am looking for.
As the Phoenix King, I will provide a promise to the organization or individual who finds him, a permanent and valid promise."
"Promise..." Ackerman was shocked. If what he said was true, the promise of the Phoenix King was heavier than a thousand gold.
The promise he made to Magnus allowed Caledor to help the empire for a hundred years. Even after the death of the pious, the two countries still maintained a beautiful honeymoon period after the end of the great holy war.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Empire has benefited more from its contact with Ulthuan. The technology and craftsmanship from the elves have fully made up for the technological gap that the dwarves are unwilling to share. The controlled magic has enabled many things that were once miracles to happen.
And all this is thanks to the Phoenix King in front of him.
Imrik nodded and repeated it with certainty: "Yes, a promise. Even if this lucky guy wants to be the emperor of the Empire, I will do my best to help him settle the Elector Council."
"Find this warlord. This is my requirement for the Empire and a test of your ability."
The White Wolf Knight left with the edict from the Phoenix King of Nordland. Under the operation of the Church of Ulric, all major knights knew about this.
If Finubar made a promise, most people would probably not think that the Phoenix King of the Elves could help the Empire much, but Imrik was the opposite.
The hero who turned the tide in the Great Crusade, the slayer who ended the Third Vampire War, the monarch who drove the greenskins of the Badlands to the Dark Land, everything made him full of sacred and unquestionable authority.
Compared to Emperor Dieter IV who made money by his status, the Phoenix King's edict was more effective in the Empire.
Great Urik called on his followers to eliminate the Chaos elements that invaded the Empire and meet the requirements of the Phoenix King. After all, everyone understood that it was not difficult to find a warlord, but due to the face and political interests of the various electors, they could not send large-scale troops to support.
The High Priest Sigmar was not to be outdone. After openly and covertly despising the ineffective Emperor Dieter IV, the bald man called on those who believed in the double-tailed comet to take up arms and kill all the Norse barbarians who entered the empire.
It didn't matter whether they were warlords or not, just kill them all.
Except for the Church of Poseidon in Westerland, which still had some doubts about this and its subordinate Trident Knights did not go out, the White Wolf, Blood of Sigmar, Cheetah, Yangyan, Moore, Stubborn Bull... the knights who were counted in the empire responded to this war that had changed its nature.
A bounty order gradually turned the fight against Chaos into a confrontation between the two churches, and Midden and Rick also had some complaints about it.
It made no sense for this promise to fall into the hands of others. As the two largest forces in the empire, they could not have this promise, but it did not mean that Imrick could ignore what he said.
Killing this warlord, taking this opportunity to get closer to the elves, and gaining an advantage in the next Electors' Meeting, this was the idea of the Electors.
Suddenly, the Empire was in turmoil because of this promised bounty. It seemed that wealth, power, honor... could all be found here. For the people of the Empire who were seeking to climb up, was there a better opportunity than this? (End of this chapter)
