Warhammer III

A few days later, the Grand Hall of the Supreme Court welcomed many guests. They were nobles from all over the country who had been summoned. They were dressed in gorgeous party clothes and gathered together in twos and threes to chat quietly.

With the failure of the Daroa expedition, the first candidate for the High King who had high hopes, the eldest son of the High King Okomir and most of his supporters died during the expedition. The power structure in the palace was quietly changing. , the balance of power among the different factions of the nobility has tilted.

The subsequent descendants of High King Okomir are all women. In the history of the Knight World of Okomea, although there are female Knight Titan pilots, there has never been a female High King. There are collateral relatives who were not originally related to the throne. Chance.

The barons on the left side of the hall who were far away from the throne had solemn expressions, and there was a trace of unnoticeable worry in their eyes. The High King was so anxious to call everyone for a meeting this time. Did he have a new task or select a new candidate for the throne?

On the other side, Earl Middleton, who was close to the throne, looked at the people attending the meeting unruly, with a sinister smile. As the nephew of the High King Okomir, he has now become a popular candidate for the next High King.

Next to Middleton was a tall-hatted Anglican missionary and many barons who supported Okomir, who were eager to proclaim the new High King.

High King Okomir, who was sitting on the throne, looked at everyone in silence. After the invited people were almost all present, he waved to Captain Wodehouse beside him that the meeting could begin.

Wodehouse did not hesitate, turned around and announced loudly:

"Quiet, new news from the empire!"

The hall quickly became quiet. To the surprise of most people, the purpose of this gathering was not about the candidates for the throne, but about the empire.

Captain Wodehouse continued:

"The imperial envoy conveyed the order of Lord Guilliman, the imperial regent. Mobilization before the second Daroi expedition has begun. The world of Okomia will respond to the call and participate in this expedition."

Before Wodehouse could finish speaking, the crowd started to discuss noisily again.

"Is this going to bury all the Knight Titans in Okomia?!"

"Are they the special envoys of the Tribunal? They don't understand our difficulties at all."

"Your Majesty, this is Lao Hutu. Why don't you discuss such an important matter with Lord Middleton!"

"For the God-Emperor, we are duty-bound, but the relatives of the knights who died in the first expedition have not yet recovered from the pain. Is the current expedition too hasty?"

"Protect your subjects and slaughter your enemies!"

"quiet!"

Captain Wodehouse roared loudly when he saw this. Just as he was about to continue, Middleton suddenly stood up. He went straight to the High King and sincerely advised:

"Uncle, for the sake of the empire and the God-Emperor, you have sent half of your elite knights to participate in the expedition. Our remaining knight titans can no longer fall in alien lands. Since the Milky Way split, various kinds of things have appeared in our world. Chaos Cult, without the suppression of the Knight Titans, the enemy will overthrow our rule."

Okomir snorted in his heart. Middleton hadn't called him uncle for a long time, and now he might most want to call him father.

Most of the nobles attending the meeting supported Earl Middleton's view. They gathered behind Middleton and petitioned the High King. Ocomia also needed the garrison of Knight Titans.

Looking at these people who did not want to go to Darova to avenge the dead knight, Okomir stood up and rebuked loudly:

"Do you want the knights who died in Darova to be left unburied and their bones to be desecrated by the enemy? 'Protect your subjects and slaughter your enemies', never forget the ancestral teaching!"

"Lord Earl, please tell me, who is our enemy?"

Okomir looked at Middleton with his deep and sharp eyes, and the latter said tremblingly:

"Calligius, the Fallen King of Darova"

"And his sister and wife, the fallen Queen Caligia, and the entire Mandrakell family who betrayed the Empire!"

Behind the crowd, a young and handsome Baron Kang added passionately that his white dress highlighted his tall figure.

Middleton's eyes were full of viciousness, and he stared hard at the baron who had just spoken.

Okomir looked at the young man with approval, and then announced:

"I swear in the name of the 263rd High King of Ocomia, whoever cuts off the head of Caligius or Caligia, my youngest daughter Ocomili will marry him, and he He will also become the new supreme king of Ocomia!"

This news caused excitement in the main hall. Taiyue and others who were listening in the side hall had a new understanding of the Supreme King Okomir.
