The Sun King's Evidence

Ryan immediately went downstairs and rushed to open the door.

The door opened, and a dozen gryphon knights stood at the door. In the middle of the knights stood the figure of the gryphon Duke Ivan Ferdinand. He was wearing a set of dark gold plate armor, with a handsome face and elegant black clothes. With long hair and holding the Griffin True Silver Holy Sword at his waist in his right hand, he stood at the gate of Ryan's house and looked at him with a smile.

In addition, a young knight who looked to be in his thirties was also wearing a full body armor of a griffon. He was standing next to the Duke of Griffin. When he saw Ryan coming out, he shouted happily: "Oh! Ryan! It's been such a long time." Gone!"

"Oh! Anton!" Ryan trotted out happily and gave the young man a big hug first: "It's been so long! Ryan!"

Count Anton Ferdinand, the eldest son of Duke Griffon, is thirty-three years old this year.

The two hugged, and then Ryan turned around and focused on his godfather: "Long time no see, Ivan!"

"Long time no see, my godson!" Duke Griffin opened his arms towards Ryan, and the Primarch embraced his godfather: "Ivan! I didn't expect that the empire would send you."

"You brat, I've done a lot of big things recently, and His Majesty has asked me about it, saying that your godson is really amazing." Duke Griffin hugged Ryan, and then said maliciously in his ear: "But you little bastard actually It’s really embarrassing for me to be the chosen one for the Lady of the Lake.”

"Uh uh uh..." Ryan felt a little guilty and embarrassed. He knew that there were two people he was sorry for when he switched to the command of the Fairy of the Lake. One was his adoptive father Norman, and the other was his godfather Ivan. His adoptive father Norman was a white man. Wolf Knight, it was he who led Ryan on the path of the White Wolf Knight.

Godfather Ivan once visited Nord when Ryan was a child. After seeing Ryan's amazing talent and excellent qualities, he officially accepted Ryan as his godson when Ryan was eight years old and personally taught Ryan military knowledge and cultural literacy.

As a result, Ryan has now switched to believing in the Lake Fairy and has become the chosen one by the Lake Fairy. This means that he will enter the core level of Britannia in the future, and the Duke of Gryphon will gain some "enemy" by accepting him as his godson. The smell, so Ivan will have some opinions, and Ryan will also feel a little guilty.

"Anyway, let's talk about this later. Ryan, come and walk around the city with me!" Duke Griffin patted Ryan hard on the shoulder.

"good!"

Ten minutes later, Ryan was riding a powerful war horse, walking on the streets of Marienburg.

In the sky, several gryphons were flying through the clear winter sky of Marienburg. They were gliding wantonly and roaring. Whenever they got close to the ground, they always triggered bursts of screams and admiration.

On the ground, the gryphon knights marched through the streets. The elite gryphon knights wore plate armor and held lances. The double-headed eagle flag of the empire and the flag of the gryphon knights were held high in the sky.

In the first row are several griffons. This legendary creature has only been seen by the great nobles of Marienburg in the royal zoo of the empire. Real griffon knights ride on tall and powerful ferocious beasts. Above the beasts, each of them is at least a legendary level expert, exuding a powerful aura. After them, dozens of half-gryphon knights followed closely. Half-gryphons are the product of hybridization, although there are no lions. As tall and ferocious as the vultures are, these half-gryphons are still a full circle larger than ordinary war horses.

Marienburg was boiling, and citizens rushed out to watch. When Ryan followed Ivan to join the team, the crowds on both sides of the road were already dense, and Marienburg's Iris Guards had to mobilize in full force to maintain order.

The citizens of Marienburg were stunned for a moment when they looked at this legendary force. They had never seen such an elite force. In the February weather, the cold air scraped people's faces like a sharp blade, but The gryphon knights and their mounts held their heads high, straightened their waists, and raised their sharp lances to the sky. The knights' faces were as sinking as water, and a kind of majesty and domineering radiated from their souls radiated from their bodies. Coming out, the ferocious griffins and the fierce demi-griffins advanced slowly, and each griffin knight's face was like a sculpture.

This is a truly powerful army. Each griffon knight requires more than ten years of training to take shape. Only the empire can afford such a powerful monster army.

As they walked, the team of knights rotated tightly and seamlessly like gears. The uniform team of knights seemed to be crushing all the enemies in front of them. The moving power oppressed the soldiers of the Iris Guards, which was usually against them. The guards who were bossed around by the citizens were like eggplants beaten by frost, limp and they no longer dared to make loud noises.

This is the Griffin Knights, one of the three major knights in the old world!

This is the superpower of the empire!

This is the army of our empire!

The citizens of Marienburg were stunned, as if by magic, and then there were complete cheers and fanatical shouts. From the time when the Griffin Knights appeared until they gradually entered the next block, there were cheers, noises and shouts. The sound swept through Marienburg like a tide, echoing over the city.

What do greenskins count for? The Grand Duke Griffon is here! The Empire's Griffin Knights have come to support Marienburg!

The Empire has not given up on us!

Compared with the citizens who were simply happy and cheering, the nobles and businessmen of Marienburg did not think so. These people looked at the Griffin Knights with mixed feelings in their hearts. The expressions on their faces were both expectant and... Somewhat defensive.

The nobles did not expect that the empire would actually send out the Griffin Knights, which they had suppressed. Now it seems that there is no need to worry about the safety of Marienburg. What they have to worry about now is, what does the empire want?

Ivan, the Duke of Griffin, personally rode his huge Griffin Beast Scourge at the front of all the knights. The giant Griffin roared, and the cavalry of the Iris Guard fell off their horses one after another. The mercenaries looked on with shame. His horse lay on the ground, trembling in the face of the beast.

The Griffin Duke smiled disdainfully at these soldiers and mercenaries, then he pulled up the reins, and the beast's plague flew high into the sky, flying straight towards the city hall of Marienburg.

At the door of the city hall, the upper and lower houses of Marienburg were already waiting for the arrival of the Duke of Griffin. They stood in the square in front of the city hall. Since the nobles of the House of Lords learned that the Duke of Griffin personally led the Griffin After the knights came to help, I was really upset.

What they were waiting for was not the airborne Griffin Duke, but a large flag that shot straight down from the sky and made a huge sound in the winter sky. The flag cut through the air and made a tearing sound.

"Boom!" The square was filled with smoke and dust, and the nobles of Marienburg had to retreat continuously, looking a little embarrassed.

The flagpole pierced straight into the ground of the square, with a golden double-headed eagle painted on the big flag. The symbol of the empire fluttered in the wind at the gate of Marienburg City Hall, and then the huge griffin beast scourge slid from the sky. Then, he landed in front of the nobles of Marienburg: "Good afternoon, gentlemen!"

The Duke of Griffin jumped lightly from the back of the Beast Calamity. His legs had just touched the ground, and the knights of the Griffin Knights had already entered the square in front of the city hall.

"Your Excellency Ferdinand, what do you want to do?!" Before the Duke of Griffin could speak, Baron Greymire, a member of the House of Lords of Marienburg, immediately walked up. His face was red and he looked like he was extremely affected. Big humiliation: "To humiliate us in this way, haven't you learned etiquette, Mr. Ferdinand?"

"Etiquette?" Duke Griffin raised his head, looked at Baron Greymire, and said without realizing it: "Don't you know I broke that etiquette? Are you asking this gentleman to teach me?"

Baron Greymire immediately pointed to the golden double-headed eagle war flag that made a huge noise at the door of the city hall: "Such actions are regarded as a declaration of war!"

"Oops!" Grand Duke of Marienburg Van der Guber-Schulz's face changed slightly: "Graymire was impulsive."

"Declaration of war? Baron Greymire, I will give you one last chance to sort out your language." Who knew that Ivan did not pay attention to Baron Greymire's warning at all, but asked all the great nobles of Marienburg present: "Tell Me, sir? Which country does Marienburg belong to?"

The congressmen looked at each other and said nothing. The impulsive Greymire suddenly realized something. The baron's face turned pale and he backed away repeatedly.

"Say! The founding ceremony compiled by His Majesty Ludwig stipulates that Marienburg enjoys autonomy, but! Yes! Which country's territory does Marienburg belong to? Gentlemen, please tell me?" Ivan walked up to In front of Baron Greymire, he looked at him condescendingly: "As a griffon general appointed by His Majesty the Emperor with full power, I set up the double-headed eagle flag of the empire on the territory of the empire. What do Baron Greymire think of this? "

Wherever Ivan's movements and sharp eyes passed by, the space had begun to collapse slightly. The light dimmed under Ivan's movements, leaving behind an unfathomable darkness, which told everyone The Griffin Duke has entered the Holy Realm level.

Watching several huge griffons rushing into the City Hall Square with their heads held high, and watching dozens of demi-gryphon knights pouring into the City Hall from all directions and approaching them, Baron Greymire and the MPs from Marienburg all turned pale. Bai, they knew that this was a warning from the empire.

Having money doesn't really mean you can do whatever you want. At least the great nobles of Marienburg can be sure that even if they take out all their private armies, even if all the guardians of Marienburg come out, they are not gryphon knights. The opponent of the regiment and the Griffin Duke.

The Grand Duke of Marienburg sighed and walked up. He said to the Duke of Griffin: "Graymire is a little confused. Marienburg has always been part of the empire since Charlemagne. It has always been."

"On behalf of the members of Marienburg, I welcome the arrival of His Excellency Ivan Ferdinand, Duke of Griffin!" The Grand Duke of Marienburg first expressed his welcome to Ivan. The momentum of the members of Marienburg had been shattered. They also welcomed Ivan's arrival, and everyone was forced to reiterate: Despite its autonomy, Marienburg is still an integral part of the empire.

Ryan and Ivan's eldest son Anton stood in the distance, watching his godfather flexing his muscles, and smiled helplessly: "Godfather, he is still so mighty."

"These business princes are really too arrogant, and this time my father wants to give them a good beating." Anton held the long sword, his eyes exuding a dangerous light: "In the past few years, due to the political turmoil in the empire, these business princes The princes have had a good life for a few days, but things are different now. In the hands of the new emperor, the empire has begun to stabilize, so my father believes that now is the time to spare his efforts to educate them."

"Ah~ okay." Ryan shook his head with a wry smile, and then asked Anton: "So the reinforcements this time are led by the godfather?"

"Well, exactly, this is what His Majesty the Emperor meant." Anton suddenly patted Ryan and said with a smile: "Long time no see, Ryan, you have been so popular recently, I can't help but want to talk to you. Signs and gestures.”

"It's okay to gesture, as long as you don't bully me with your griffon." Ryan could feel the danger from Anton. The eldest son of the Duke of Griffin was slightly weaker than him, but he wouldn't lose by much.

"Hahahahaha~" The two people looked at each other and smiled.

"Speaking of which, how many people did the Godfather bring to support Marienburg this time?" Ryan thought of something important: "According to the scouts' reports, the number of greenskins gathered in the Jint Mine has exceeded 10,000, and is still rising. There are signs that the final greenskin army will number at least 30,000."

"We brought three thousand people this time." Speaking of the specific number, Anton was a little embarrassed.

"Three thousand people? Anton, are you kidding?" Ryan opened his mouth. No matter how elite these three thousand people are, the number is too small.

"We are about to face spring plowing, and the number of soldiers we can recruit will be greatly reduced. The Rick Territory has just suppressed the rebellion, and the troops in many places cannot be moved lightly. Moreover..." The eldest son of Duke Griffin narrowed his eyes: " When the reinforcements will arrive, it depends on the terms father has negotiated with these business princes."

"Yeah!" Ryan understood what Anton meant. If the terms are negotiated well, follow-up reinforcements will continue to flow. If the terms are not negotiated well, follow-up reinforcements will not be seen.

Next, in the city hall of Marienburg, Duke Ivan of the Griffin and the diplomats sent by the empire had a frank, efficient, and constructive discussion with the members of the upper and lower houses of Marienburg.

The conditions offered by the empire are as follows.

"1. Marienburg must reduce its huge trade deficit with the empire by at least 80% within the next 20 years."

"2. The goods exported to Marienburg from Reikland under the direct control of the Emperor of the Empire enjoy preferential tariffs. The specific amount must be negotiated with the Empire."

"3. Marienburg must open its market to the empire, and must not oppose or obstruct official imperial investment in Marienburg."

"4. All military expenses for this troop dispatch will be borne by Marienburg, and Marienburg will also have to pay an additional troop dispatch cost of at least 50,000 gold marks."

"5. The empire will send troops to ensure the safety of Marienburg."

The MPs in Marienburg were stunned.

What is the condition?

This condition is simply a griffin's mouth!
