Chapter 354: Imperial Civil War

"So, you used me as a gun?"

"Yes, I can give you cash for this, but I can't give you any proof or favors."

Arriving at the imperial capital of Altdorf to meet the emperor, Karl Franz gave Windlow a task that was very much in line with his status.

Spread negative words about Boris, Elector of Middenland, among the lower-class nobles of the empire.

This move certainly weakened Boris's authority. After all, he was the only opponent of Karl Franz in the competition for the position of Emperor of the Empire.

If Boris is reduced, Karl Franz will inevitably be strengthened, and the other electors will inevitably increase their loyalty to the empire, and may even join Reikland with Bon in the end.

This kind of thing usually requires a lot of effort to find various people to handle it. As for why I chose Windlow, the reason is simple: I know him well.

This guy was just a small-time guy from the countryside of Rick County. He worked as an imperial merchant to make a living, and by chance or good luck, he made a small fortune.

The only special feature is that he has an elf sex partner, which is understandable. Karl Franz also has successful relationships with several other alien races.

Finally, by donating the title of baron, he got a long-term meal ticket in the barren northern Oster.

Loyalty is naturally at its highest level, and even if this guy is not loyal, he can draw a line at any time.

A sum of money soon arrived in Windlow's hands, all in cash, without any formalities. He announced to the public that it was the inheritance from his seventh aunt in his hometown.

As a businessman, what I believe in is that money comes before goods. Now that the money has been received, it is time to get to work.

He easily set up a stage in the middle of the square in front of the Aldorf Palace, cleared his throat, and began his performance.

The Rick Guards who were patrolling nearby pretended not to see it and walked away somewhere else.

"Boris, you are so lame, you want to be the emperor, hahaha."

Windlow was first sung and attracted quite a few people, of course, some of them were sent by Karl Franz himself.

"Everyone knows that the Beastmen are nothing more than experience packs for the Empire, stepping stones for the provincial armies, and used to train the nobles."

"And what happened to Boris? An elector, an elector who almost became emperor, was actually led by a beastman."

"He even had one of his eyes blinded by a beastman. How shameful! He still dares to say that he is the chosen one of the White Wolf God Yurik. Does he deserve it?"

Of course, the first part is personal attack, followed by contempt for political stance and identity.

"In the Battle of Blackfire Pass, the Empire faced more greenskins than Sigmar did, but the Empire held on."

"Our Emperor Karl Franz beat the orc general to death with his own hands."

"Marius Redolf, Elector of Iverland, died heroically for his country."

"The Elector Count of Wiesenland has sent three steam tanks."

"Mute Territory provided all the logistical supplies."

"The Northern Electors have united to provide the troops."

"Even the poorest Stirling provided support to the best of its ability."

"There is only Middenland and Boris, the Elector of Middenland. There is no support at all."

"He went into the woods on his own and was hung up and beaten by the beastmen."

"Not to mention Boris, even the White Wolf soldiers who believed in Yurik and the Yurik Church did not provide any support."

Maybe Windlow meant it, but more likely he just spoke too quickly.

After hearing the scolding of the Church of Yurik, the priests and believers of the Church of Sigmar nearby all revealed a barely perceptible smile.

Yes, yes, during the Third Battle of Blackfire Pass, the Church of Sigmar provided a lot of support.

In terms of justice, they completely overwhelmed the Church of Yurik, but in order to ensure the nominal unity of the empire, they generally would not break off relations with the Church of Yurik.

However, a passerby, an ordinary baron named Windlow, a person who was not a follower of Sigmar, cursed the Church of Ulric, and the people of the Church of Sigmar naturally acquiesced.

At the same time, a combat priest gave a look, and his subordinates immediately understood what he meant.

Of course there are also followers of the Church of Eurick in the imperial capital of Aldorf. Now we need to protect Windlow and at the same time try to find a way to make him curse more.

"Insanity!"

Sure enough, a passing follower of Yurik was mocked by Windlow and rushed over while cursing angrily.

On the contrary, Windlow did not dodge or evade, he even stretched his neck and waited for the other party to hit him.

"Ah, right, right, you don't fight the greenskins, but instead come to fight me, a fellow imperialist. Ah, what does that mean? You can't beat the greenskins?"

Naturally, as soon as these words were spoken, that Yurik believer and the dozen or so Yurik believers around him instantly lost the ability to speak.

In the empire, followers of the Yurik religion were not known for their words, but for winning by force, but now they were unable to teach Windlow a lesson.

If they reach out and hit him, then they are confirmed to be the instigators of the internal strife, which confirms what Windlow said, "Instead of hitting the greenskins, they turn around and hit their fellow countrymen in the Empire."

The Yurikists simply prefer the use of force, not that they are completely devoid of intelligence.

As long as they dare to take action first, many Sigma believers will definitely jump out from around, and the situation will then be out of control.

He could only curse under his breath a few times and then turned around and left.

But they didn't expect that Windlow had very sharp ears and heard all the whispered curses.

"Ah, you don't dare to fight, you can't beat them, and you curse them behind their backs? How can a wolf god like Yurik have followers like you bastards?"

In the end, of course, it was a few Sigmar believers who pulled the two sides apart and then entered the imperial court.

Of course, Wendlow was injured, but after counting the gold coins given by Emperor Karl Franz in his wallet, except for the cost of medicine and compensation for his injuries, the rest was profit.

In the city of Aldorf, judges, lawyers, and juries are all selected in advance.

When Windlow stood in the square and challenged Boris, this team was already ready.

Even the judge looked at the group of Yurik followers with a knowing look.

"Why are you hitting people?"

"Because this guy insulted us with rude words."

"So what did he insult you about?"

After these words were spoken, the group of Yurik followers suddenly fell silent, and instead the lawyer assigned to them started talking.

"That guy insulted the followers of Yurik, saying that we are cowards without courage."

It was obvious that this lawyer was also a member of the Sigmar sect and was performing a double act here.

"We, the followers of the Ulric Church, were only there to hunt down the beastmen, so we didn't participate in the Third Battle of Blackfire Pass. Even though we didn't hunt down the beastmen, how can you blame us?"

Karl Franz had by now heard the report on the court situation.

I just feel that this guy Wendlow is really good at doing things. In this way, my plan can be carried out ahead of schedule.
