The Sun King's Evidence

"Second Empire? What is that?" Ryan didn't understand this. He frowned and turned his questioning eyes to Angron: "Brother?"

"Second Empire?" Angron touched his chin: "It seems that during the Horus Heresy, Guilliman united Jonson and Sanguinius, intending to preserve the fire of civilization for mankind. They recommended Sanguinius. Les was the new emperor, Jonson was the warmaster, Guilliman himself was the regent, and he even prepared a star torch... However, many things happened later and the Second Empire was stillborn before it was established. Les died in the battle, and Zhuangson fell into a deep sleep...I don't know much about what happened in the middle."

"Yes, brothers, I have thought a lot, and I feel that only the Second Empire can save us!" Magnus nodded repeatedly: "Think about it, brothers, our father only created us to use our strength and Let us be his helpers. Each of us has been shaped into a being who can stand alone, but is not omnipotent. Horus, Fulgrim, and Jonson, who are best at military affairs, are all unreliable. Guilliman, who is good at internal affairs, is brave in martial arts. There is a lack of strength, while Angron, Russ and others are focusing on fighting."

Ryan and Angron both nodded. It was indeed as Magnus said, and they still admitted it.

"Then why do we still listen to our father? As long as we brothers unite, we can build a second empire!" Magnus said in a very excited tone what he had spent two years thinking about: "Each of us has the ability to be independent. Why do we need to be bound by our father anymore? Ryan, your appearance proves that the fallen original body can be saved. Then we can form a second empire!"

"Listen to me, Ryan and Angron." Magnus saw that both Ryan and Angron had something to say. He quickly stretched out his hand to indicate that you all should listen to me first: "Beyond the dark galaxy, the stars Where the Torchlight cannot reach, there is still a large territory that can be expanded, Ryan, we just need you to rescue the brothers one by one, and then we can start our great plan."

"We can elect Fulgrim as Emperor of the Empire, Guilliman as Regent, Jonson as Warmaster, Khan to lead the fleet, Angron to be responsible for suppressing the rebellion, Llane to form the Inquisition, Clarkson to form the Assassin's Court, and Lorgar to be in charge. The state church, Petrabo will be in charge of the logistics department, Russ will be the military police, etc... I will be the star torch!" Magnus was very excited, his red face was glowing, and his spirit was in a state of excitement. Middle: "Let father drown with his rotten inheritance! We will do it ourselves! Everyone will perform their duties, and the Second Empire will be established!"

"An endless glorious tomorrow is waiting for us, Ryan, Angron, what do you think?" Magnus finally concluded: "What do you think?!"

"..." Ryan and Angron looked at each other, both of them silent.

Logically speaking, both Ryan and Angron should have subconsciously rebutted, but they didn't.

Whether it is Angron or Lion, they were both tricked by the Emperor. Needless to say, Angron himself was put into this world inexplicably and experienced countless difficulties. He was actually tricked. Not shallow.

When Magnus said this, both of them felt a little moved.

Ryan didn't know much about the Second Empire and had no say. Angron pondered for a moment before shaking his head: "It's impossible, Magnus. Guilliman didn't succeed in the first place."

"Guilliman didn't succeed because he was stupid. Believe me, we will definitely succeed!" Magnus said anxiously when he saw that the plan he thought was perfect did not get the approval of Ryan and Angron. "I have already thought of a plan...a perfect plan. Let's start with Terra..."

"Well, continue, Magnus, I'm listening." At this moment, a cold, majestic voice with suppressed anger came from behind Magnus.

"We need to organize a rescue operation first... Ryan, Angron?" Magnus found that Ryan and Angron were sweating on their foreheads. He said strangely: "What's going on?"

"It's nothing, Magnus, I mean... my loyalty to my father is unshakable. Stop talking, I won't agree!" Ryan suddenly said righteously, his tone indescribably firm.

Angron nodded in agreement: "That's right!"

"???I didn't say that I would betray my father. We are just building a second empire. When the second empire is built, my father may still need our help." Magnus thought about Ryan and Angron. Why did your attitude suddenly become so fierce?

But no matter what he said, Ryan and Angron shook their heads silently.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Until a voice like ten thousand years of black ice came from behind: "Magnus, after so many years, after so many years of being a demon prince for Tzeentch, you really haven't made any progress at all, and you are still so... stupid! "

Golden light shone everywhere, and Magnus's shadow instantly exploded and turned into nothingness.

The last thing Lion and Angron heard was the sound of the Emperor's iron fist shattering Magnus' teeth, the Red Son's miserable cry, and the Emperor's unyielding rebuke, and then the communication was cut off.

Everything was quiet again.

Ryan and Angron looked at each other, and Ryan said softly: "That's it for today, brother."

Angron nodded, and the two brothers walked a long distance along the Chinon River.

Then, I couldn't help laughing.

"Hahahahaha~ How could father really let Magnus have the opportunity to talk to you alone... Hahahaha~" Angron laughed loudly and slapped his knees hard: "Magnus is really …Don’t he know that even though he is sitting on the Golden Throne, the Star Torch is powered by his father’s energy?”

"Hey..." Ryan also laughed and shook his head: "Indeed, this is not the first time that brother Magnus has been smart."

"To be honest, I actually think that Magnus's proposal is not without merit." Angron obviously thought of something after he finished laughing. He just chuckled: "However, Magnus is destined to be impossible to succeed. It is said that Ji Liman spent several days thinking about it, going through all the feasibility and dangers, and only after making a comprehensive consideration did he very carefully decide to discuss with Jonson and Sanguinius about establishing a second empire."

"Magnus is a man of great ambition and talent. Whether it is his melee combat, command or internal affairs abilities, he is not outstanding among the original bodies. His psychic power is comparable to yours. However, Ryan, you are fundamentally different from him. You He is not afraid of corruption, so he can use his psychic powers with confidence, but Magnus cannot." Angron shook his head: "If Guilliman can't do it, then no one among our original bodies can do it."

Ryan nodded silently.

In fact, after hearing Magnus's plan, both Lion and Angron had some thoughts. How does the original body exist? Guilliman was able to persuade Jonson and Sanguinius, so of course Magnus can Convince Lion and Angron.

It's just that Ryan and Angron have clear minds. If the leader is Guilliman, there is still some room for discussion, but if it is Magnus, it is destined to be impossible to succeed.

After bidding farewell to Angron, Ryan returned to his Earl's castle alone.

Even in February, Lane's territory is very lively. Serfs can be seen everywhere on the roads and streets. Spring has not yet begun and it is still late winter. Many children are playing in front of their homes. Adults are also sewing clothes and enjoying the leisure time of the farm. time.

A golden trade route, Bordeaux-Glamorgan-Heronhilde, has been formed through the efforts of Lane, Duke Bodrick and Duke Francois. With Lane's efforts, the three parties signed a fair trade agreement and unified In exchange for tariffs and preferential conditions for attracting investment, Winford's wine and wood elf goods were sold well in the old world.

Ryan even saw merchants from Kislev and Nord, as well as merchants from the southern country of Tyrell on the streets.

The person who benefited the most from Lane's rise was undoubtedly Oliver. This imperial businessman was once close to bankruptcy. If it weren't for Lane's guidance in Marienburg, Oliver might have become one of the countless bankrupt troops in Marienburg every year. .

And now, relying on Ryan's chartered trade certificate and the wood elf trade exclusive, Oliver has become one of the great merchants in Marienburg. Although there is a gap in background compared to many old merchants, Marienburg is a big merchant. Duke van der Guber-Schulz took relatively good care of Oliver's business under Lane's guidance.

Of course, Oliver also knows who brought all this. This big businessman not only handed over most of his trade income, but also moved his entire family here. His only son Gentle is now sent to In Ryan's court, he received higher education and also served as a hostage.

As for Hadrian, this big businessman from the southern country has now taken root here and established a branch through Ryan's relationship. The relationship between him and Ryan is slightly worse, and they can only be regarded as trading partners. .

Ryan returned to his castle. The attendants greeted Ryan along the way, and Ryan responded politely.

After many repairs, additions, and reconstructions, Ryan's castle is now very large. The castle covers an area of ​​several hectares. It is usually garrisoned by sergeants and knights, as well as a large number of knights' retinues, all of whom are eager to obtain the goddess of the lake. The recognition of the champion, the spurs from Ryan, and the qualification to be promoted to the knight errant.

Ryan did not stop at the outer castle. He walked directly towards the inner castle. This was his private living area, where the count's family and servants lived.

Entering the inner castle, Olica and Emilia in black and white maid uniforms greeted them: "Master, are you back?"

"Well, I'm back." Ryan nodded. He accepted the service of the two maids and took off the power armor on his body.

The Earl returned to the territory with his father-in-law, brother-in-law and others a few days ago. The news they brought caused chaos within the kingdom. Casfan was captured and two thousand knights were detained. The empire expressed preferential treatment for the prisoners and was waiting for ransom. The ransom for Svann is as high as 20,000 gold crowns, and the ransom for kingdom knights and knights errant ranges from 300 gold crowns to 20 gold crowns. When the money arrives, the empire will naturally release him.

This incident caused an uproar in the royal court of Britannia. The bad-tempered Duchess of Casfan was completely exploded. She relied on the power of her mother's family and her good relationship with Casfan. , rushed to the royal court, directly questioned the knight King Richard, and asked him to provide money and effort to redeem her husband.

Ryan initially thought that the duchess could not make much trouble, but after hearing the duchess's battles, he realized how big a trouble she had made. Hagen, Duke of Gisoleaux, and even several Holy Grail Knights and Lake Gods The prophets all followed her to Kurona, rolling up their sleeves and preparing to seek justice from the Knight King Richard.

The guess given by Francois was that Casfan must have been angry with Richard before sending troops. Richard did not come forward to support, nor did he object, or even acquiesced.

At this time, the wife of Casfan found an excuse. She was furious, thinking that it was Richard's fault that her husband was defeated and captured. She led people to find trouble with Richard and demanded that the king pay a ransom and compensate for the losses.

Richard naturally would not sit still and wait for death. He also gathered the Duke of Lyonnais, the Duke of Montfort and the Duke of Connet, and launched an investigation into Casfan's wife, saying that everything was personal to Casfan. Action, the royal court will not only not pay, but also investigate Casfan's failure. No matter what, Britannia and the empire are allies, and civil war is indeed a disgraceful thing.

So since yesterday, the questioning and meetings between the Brittanian capital Curona have been one after another, and the two sides have been involved in endless quarrels.

No one wanted to take responsibility for the defeat.

For this reason, Ryan's fiancée Sulia sent him a message. Ryan accepted the female knight's suggestion. He has been staying behind closed doors for a while, saying that he would practice and pray behind closed doors.

This disappointed both King Richard and Mrs. Casfan, who wanted to win over the Lady of the Lake champion. The Lady of the Lake has no oracle, Morgiana is seriously injured and her whereabouts are unknown. Ryan is now the will of the Lady of the Lake in the mortal world. As a manifestation of the situation, he now chooses to stay behind closed doors and refuse to see guests. Is this also what the fairy in the lake meant?

Did the lady disapprove of the war in the first place? Or does the lady's silence represent an encouragement to the King of Knights?

Both parties felt that this matter was justified. They could not force Ryan to answer and could only continue their own quarrel.

Ryan changed into an earl's dress, and he thought that he had better discuss this matter with Morgiana: "Where is Her Highness Morgiana?"

"Her Highness Morgiana is over at the Lady of the Lake's tower." Orica said softly.

"Well... I'll go there now." Ryan nodded: "Look, if I haven't come back by the evening, I don't have to prepare my dinner."

"yes."
