The Sun King's Evidence

PS: Yesterday I went to carry instruments for my tutor and my waist hurt. It hurts me so much. I need to take a good rest these days. Woohoo~ I’m not saying I need to take leave or anything. After all, I can only lie down. I sat coding and playing games.

The black cloth was pulled off, and a small griffon cub appeared in front of Ryan.

The face of an eagle, the body and claws of a lion, the silver mane, the brown body, a small griffon cub was stumbling around in the iron cage, it made a sharp cry, and its short sharp beak It was full of power, and its black eyes were full of hostility. It screamed, and then hit the iron railing with its paws hard: "Ding~ding~"

"A griffon cub!" Ryan was slightly surprised. He knew why Anton was sure that he would be willing to help.

No one can refuse a gryphon cub, just like no one in Britannia can refuse a hippogryph mount. The only ones in the entire kingdom are Laune-Lio Cornwall, Duke of Connet, and Bosch, Duke of Bastogne. There are hippogryphs in Mondstadt's stable, and there are no more than thirty registered hippogryph knights in Britannia!

(I’m going to complain here. Some book friends said why they were dissatisfied with the hippogryph knight. This is the reason.)

"Wow wow wow!" The little griffon cub stared hard at Ryan who was looking at him in front of the iron cage. It made a sharp cry with its short pecking and fluttered its fluffy wings twice. Can't fly either.

"Ah! This is true!" Before Ryan could say anything, Sulia's eyes were already shining. The female knight intertwined their fingers and her eyes were filled with little stars: "It's... so cute!!!"

A good mount is really important to a knight. Sulia's mount is a pure-blooded elf war horse named Richthofen. She is pregnant recently (Raisin), and she will ride a Pegasus if necessary.

The Gray Mountains are rich in two high-quality mounts, Pegasus and Hippogryph, especially Pegasus. Hunters from the Empire and Britannia often fight over this. The knight lords even encourage serfs to steal Hippogryph eggs. The hippogryph's egg was brought to the lord intact, and all the knights were willing to provide the identity of a freeman and an astonishing bounty.

Of course, the success rate of this matter is calculated on the basis of one in a hundred. Even the ignorant serfs know how low the success rate of this matter is. No serf would do such a stupid thing unless forced to do so.

The little griffon cub was like a puppy. Sulia held Ryan's arm with gleaming eyes: "Ryan! This little griffon is so cute!"

"This little griffon is the cub of his father's mount 'Beast Calamity'." Anton saw that Sulia liked it, so he continued: "Now, I will give it to you as a symbol of our friendship. "

"This gift is too expensive, Anton." Ryan's face showed some joy at first, but he still instinctively wanted to refuse: "I can't accept it."

"This has nothing to do with us and you." Anton shook his head: "I said, this is a symbol of friendship between us. I am here this time to give this griffon cub to you, no matter what you agree to Help or not.”

Ryan lowered his head and said nothing. He stretched out his hand towards the griffon cub in the iron cage in front of everyone's eyes.

A griffin knight just wanted to warn of danger, but thought of Ryan's strength and shut his mouth.

"Wow!" The griffin cub saw Ryan reaching out to him, so he pecked Ryan's hand hard with his pointed beak.

"Ugh!" Ryan's hard skin made the little gryphon scream in pain. The little guy immediately realized that the human in front of him was not an opponent to be trifled with. It hid in the corner of the iron cage with tears in its eyes and rushed towards him like a brave man. Ryan opened his mouth, meaning I'm not afraid of you.

I have to say that this is really a gift that Ryan can't refuse. After he and the female knight looked at each other, they smiled and said: "Okay, Anton, I feel your sincerity, and I don't want to use hypocritical words." If you tell me more, I will convince Monsignor Francois and Monsignor Berhemond."

"That's really the best." Anton nodded with satisfaction. The mount is the second life of the knight. No knight can refuse a griffon mount. The electors are all proud to have a griffin in their stables. What's more, What's more, Ryan is a count?

"Come, come here!" Ryan stretched out his hand towards the little guy again. Light blue psychic energy swirled around Ryan's hand, and the light of psychic energy shone throughout the hall.

The griffin cub looked at the psychic light with some confusion. It instinctively felt a sense of intimacy with Ryan and barked a few times.

Upon seeing this, Ryan opened the cage. The little griffon fluttered and flapped its wings, flew onto Ryan's arm, and said something incomprehensible in Ryan's ear.

All the griffon knights opened their mouths wide when they saw this situation.

As we all know, the Griffin Knights are the most powerful heavy-armed (monster) cavalry in the empire and one of the three major knights in the old world.

While these knights were excellent warriors in their own right, it was their mounts that were the true combatants. These huge living weapons are ferocious and burly, standing taller than any Imperial warhorse, and their ferocious and bloodthirsty attacks are more terrifying than any other Imperial beast.

Only the mightiest Imperial Knights are equipped with this fearsome creature. Although the empire has worked hard to carry out a breeding program and stimulate them to mate and have children, due to its low mating rate and the terrifying monsters created by the breeding program, griffon knights are relatively rare. Therefore, the only way to increase the number is to go to the Black Mountain near the Griffin Duchy. Catching griffins in the forest.

This huge forest lurks many forbidden and ancient beasts, but none control this territory as noble and majestic as the gryphon. Only a few knights can capture and tame the powerful gryphon, and it's no surprise that many knights are reduced to bloody shreds of flesh as a result. Those knights who managed to tame them, however, were greatly praised, gaining not only powerful and loyal companions, but also greater prestige. However, these knights all left terrible scars and wounds from the attacks of their mounts, which served as a badge of honor to prove their bravery and martial skills to their compatriots. In turn, these creatures are always loyal to their masters, and stories of loyalty abound - griffons relentlessly round up their enemies to avenge the death of a knight.

The luckiest one is the current emperor Karl Franz. This fearsome new emperor happened to get a griffin egg during a safari in the Gray Mountains before he ascended the throne. After that, the huge lion named Deathclaw The eagle accompanies him to fight to this day.

But what about Ryan? A creature of order like a griffon actually took the initiative to get close to him?

The gryphon knights thought that today was really an eye-opener.

"Hey~ Be good~ Be good~ Little guy, are you hungry?" Ryan picked up the puppy-like griffon cub, then took the snowflake beef from the table and fed it, and the little guy swallowed it hard with his mouth. Delicious fried beef, almost choked.

"So cute! Ryan, give me a hug!" Sulia poked her head around Ryan. As a female knight, she also had a special preference for powerful mounts. The plush look of the little gryphon made her unable to resist. He stretched out his hand to touch, but the little guy immediately raised his head alertly and used his sharp beak and claws to attack Sulia.

The female knight had no choice but to retract her hand. Even so, Sulia was still extremely interested in this puppy-like griffon cub: "It's so cute~"

Ryan thought to himself, how cute is this fierce little guy?

"Give it a name, Ryan." Anton was secretly surprised to see Ryan subduing the little griffon without any effort, but he said with a smile and a calm expression on his face.

"A name?" Ryan picked up the griffin cub. His pure psychic power made the griffin particularly willing to get close to it. The Earl of Glamorgan said to his fiancée: "Sulia, come up with a name." Name it!”

The little griffon's hair was silver and gold. Sulia's beautiful face looked at the little guy for a while, and then gave an answer: "How about Imperius (Courage)?"

"What a name! Little guy, you will be called Imperius from now on." Ryan reached out and pinched the little griffon's face, causing it to scream in dissatisfaction.

A grand banquet ended in the castle hall.

…………

Ten days later, the old world, the imperial capital, the Imperial Palace in Braunschweig.

Duke Casfan of Palaon declares war on the Empire.

Karl Franz held a letter sent by the court wizard in his hand. The owner of the letter was Count Anton Ferdinand. He reported his diplomatic results to His Majesty the Emperor.

Francois, Berhemond, and Lane all agreed to remain neutral in this war, and their reasons were very good. This was Casfan's war, not theirs. Since the fairy in the lake had no oracle, they He won't join the war.

The huge palace gate rises tens of meters from the ground, and the tall buildings show the endless glory of the empire from its establishment to the present. Reik guards and elite defenders of the empire patrol the walls of the palace, as well as powerful wizards. They monitor every move in the palace.

The permanent residents of Brunswick are around 250,000, but the actual population exceeds one million. The territory of Brunswick under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor is the richest, best-climated and most populous territory in the empire. This territory has more than 500 residents. It has a population of 10,000 and has the best weapons and equipment and the most sophisticated army in the entire empire.

Attending the meeting were Archbishop of the Church of Justice "The Stalwart" Vikmar Beckmann, Elector of Wallrich and Grand Duke of Midden Boris "One-Eyed" Todbringer, Elector of Tuscany and Umberto Corleone, the Grand Duke of Iverland, "The Lion of the Sun", Belshazer Geert, the great alchemist of the Empire, Ludwig Schwartzhammer, the emperor's flag-bearer, and General Ko Heilberg, and the Emperor Carl Franz himself.

"What good news. So our enemies are only Casfan and his Pegasus knights." Boris Todbringer stared at his one eye: "Let me tell you, Ulric A believer will never be afraid of any enemy, but Ryan is different. As you know, he was once a White Wolf Knight and a person that our Lord values ​​​​especially. He even killed a big one in the battle of Kurona Plains. Demon, I don’t want to fight him unless I have to.”

"We only eliminate those who are enemies of the empire." Karl-Franz said with a bit of humor: "Whether it is Ryan, Francois or Berhemond, they are all people who understand the general situation."

"The Lion of the Sun" Umberto nodded: "I have dueled with Bohemond, and his Fire Dragon Lance left a deep impression on me. Francois's Unicorn Sword is the nemesis of the undead. These forces should be used to fight evil, not to fight human civil wars."

"Human civil wars are always sad." Archbishop of the Church of Justice "The Fortitude" Vicmar held up the scepter of the golden double-headed eagle. He expressed his opinion: "But enemies who dare to offend the empire must be severely punished! No matter whether it is a conspiracy Whether it is the knights of Retania or the mercenaries of the southern countries, or the bear cavalry of Kislev or the country bumpkins of Nord, as long as they try to challenge the authority of the empire, we must let them know the power of the empire!"

The great nobles present nodded their heads. No matter what, the authority of the empire cannot be violated.

"Where is the Knight King Richard? Heilberg?" The diplomatic victory slightly eased the emperor's pressure. He then turned his attention to the imperial general Helberg. Helberg was his newly promoted noble officer and was known as the most powerful officer in the empire. An excellent swordsman, he has made many military exploits since being appointed as an imperial general. Recently, he is leading an imperial legion to confront the Brittanian knights led by Marshal Roland on the "Road to Curona".

"I got the news that Richard and Duke Lawn had several meetings with Duke Dalheid. For stability reasons, Richard did not want to go to war with the Empire. He emphasized that this was a war between Casfan and the Empire, not a war between the Empire and the Empire. Retania's." Heilberg's cold face showed a bit of sarcasm: "As expected."

"Yes, as expected." The emperor nodded. Regarding Richard's character, the emperor's courtiers and professors from the University of Brunswick have held several meetings. After repeated deductions, everyone came to the opinion that Richard is cautious and stable. Richard, the Lord, would not take part in this war.

What is truly impossible to deduce is a divinely chosen champion like Ryan. Mortals cannot guess what the gods are thinking. However, judging from the current situation, the Fairy of the Lake does not seem to support Casfan.

"Please ask the paladins and ascetics not to participate in the war this time. Lord Vicmar, this is a war between us and Casfan, not a war between Charlemagne and the Lady of the Lake." The emperor first discussed with the Archbishop of the Church of Justice.

"The Resolute One" Vicmar nodded silently. The church cannot intervene in the civil war between humans. There are many people in Britannia who believe in the God of Justice. The church cannot participate in this war in the first place. The emperor is giving him Down the steps.

"Middenland will not participate in this war." Boris also said roughly: "Casfann did not declare war on us, and the White Wolf Knight will not participate in the war."

"Ivey knows how to participate in this war! I messed up the negotiation. I will send my most elite troops to annihilate all the knights on the other side of the mountain!" Umberto said loudly: "I will let Casfan understand! "

"Then... prepare for war! We will snipe Casfan and his Pegasus knights in Helmgart!" The emperor himself stood up, with only enthusiasm and perseverance on his face: "Heilberg?"

"At your command, my majesty!" Heilberg stood up.

"Assemble the Reik Guards and my army and prepare for war!"

"yes!"

"My flag officer?"

"Here!" Flag Officer Ludwig Schwarzhammer stood up and obeyed the order.

"It's time to pull out those steel monsters in the warehouse and walk away."

"yes!"
