The Sun King's Evidence

This year's summer in Brittany is relatively cool and not as hot as before. This is good news for the serfs in the Earl of Glamorgan. What's more rare is that the knights did not hold a grand ceremony this year. Large-scale hunting or training activities.

Because in this spring's Northern Chaos Invasion, the knights of the entire earldom have received enough training. What they need now is to rest and recuperate. The northern refugees who fled at the beginning of the year have begun to get used to life in the earldom and work hard. Under this situation, the products of the earldom became more and more abundant, and serfs' homes began to accumulate enough grain to last for two or three months.

This is a rare occurrence in Brittany.

Five new villages have been opened up in the Chalon Forest, and new residents have moved in one after another. After repeated killings, the beastman tribe in the forest has been unable to make any trouble. Of course, the earl also ordered that the residents are prohibited from going too deep. Forests, after all, clearing forests is a long process.

As usual, in the afternoon, Ryan found a free time, and the Earl himself seemed to be very leisurely, sitting behind the desk in his office, working seriously.

But in fact, this guy is fishing. His maids Orica and Emilia are serving in the room, Ryan's bannerman, the Holy Grail Knight Armand, Sir Gerald of Winford, and his brother-in-law, the Marquis of Winford. Lius and Count Calard of Garament, who was preparing to start his Holy Grail expedition, were all in Ryan's office. Everyone was sharing iced watermelon and blowing on the air conditioner made by Teresa, which was very comfortable.

"Ryan, you'd better enjoy it. I always thought that Mr. François's specially built courtyard for cooling off in the castle was luxurious enough. But you actually came up with the idea of ​​using magic to cool down." Jerrod held the iced cup in both hands. I chewed the watermelon in big mouthfuls, getting a lot of juice on my face.

"A place like the castle is okay in the winter, but not easy to live in in the summer, so I have to make some changes." Ryan's face looked a little unsightly. It took him two days to get out of the tower of the Fairy in the Lake. Fortunately, he He has just advanced to the Holy Realm, and his physical strength has far exceeded that of ordinary legendary powerhouses. Otherwise, he may not be able to deal with Morgiana. The Lake God Witch is obsessed with him in private and is willing to cooperate with him. The two of them Lots of new poses unlocked.

Regarding this matter, Ryan secretly discussed it with Olica under the covers. He thought about it for a long time and knew that he could only discuss it with the dark elf.

Orica's statement is this: "Master, I feel really comfortable when I'm with you, especially when absorbing spiritual energy. I can't help it every time... At this point, Moji and I Anna's feelings are the same, and Morgiana...she should be dozens of years old, and once some things are opened, they can never be closed again."

"Okay." Ryan said no more.

As time went by, Ryan had begun to have his own small circle. The people he gathered were all young talents from Britannia, all in their thirties and forties. He noticed that Kalad's expression was very depressed. It was obvious that the deaths of Jules and Anara had affected him greatly.

Kalad was not defeated by setbacks, he became stronger and more determined.

"By the way, I remember that the Duke of Connet, Lawn-Leo Cornwall, once again launched a chivalry war to try to regain Mousilon?" Ryan tried to change the topic: "How is the situation?"

After defeating the Chaos invasion, as Curona had assembled a large number of troops, Richard simply ordered the Duke of Lawn to lead more than 10,000 troops to attack Mousilon, hoping to regain the cursed city of Mousilon in one go.

According to Francois's gossip from Corona, Richard has already had the idea of ​​abdicating the throne. He wants to pass his position as king to Lawn-Leo Cornwall. If Lawn can regain Musi As Richard's designated heir to the throne, Long Zhigong's ascension to the throne is almost a certainty.

Richard's plan is also very clear. The entire Knight Kingdom knows that a huge vampire army was inexplicably annihilated when it went to Ryan's territory. As a result, Musilon's vampires were greatly weakened and could no longer take the initiative to attack. He could be content with Mu Xilong and work hard to restore his military strength.

Therefore, Richard's plan was to let his cousin Raun be the "peach picker" to regain Musilon because the vampires in Musilon were severely weakened due to Ryan.

"Yes, His Excellency Duke Raun did lead an army of more than 10,000 people to march into Mousilon." Kalad nodded, his tone was a little melancholy: "But just like the results for hundreds of years, Duke Raun's army was After Mousilon returned without success again, Duke Lawn originally planned to besiege the city, but in the end he chose to retreat."

"Retreat?" Julius crossed his arms. His stern face had become warmer recently, and he was obviously happy that his sister was about to get married. He always felt that Sulia could only marry a Holy Grail knight, and also Young and able to fight.

"Yes, retreat." Gerald nodded, and François's cousin said with a wry smile: "The Duke of Laune won every encounter after entering Mousilon, and defeated every vampire attack. However, in the end, he had no way to fight against the entire vampire residents of Mousilon. Even if Duke Lawn personally confronted and killed a Black Holy Grail knight, and even if he led a hundred personal guards to defeat the five hundred undead black knights, Mousilon still had no way to fight. The huge vampire corruption in that place and the resistance of all residents made the supply and logistics of the entire chivalry army very difficult."

Armand nodded, and the last bloodline of the Duke of Aquitaine family continued: "The huge losses and poor logistics exhausted the vitality of the knight army. Under repeated harassment and attacks by vampires, the knight army became exhausted, and finally They had no choice but to withdraw their troops, and before retreating, Raun left two thousand troops to strengthen the sentries and epidemic prevention belt around Mousilon."

"Hmm~" Ryan was thinking about a series of things.

Musilon is indeed a very difficult place to deal with. In addition to the tens of meters of high walls in Musilon City, the corruption of that land is too serious. Vampire corruption is spreading in the land of Musilon, and it is difficult for any army to last long. Staying in that place, Duke Lawn was forced to stop and rest every ten kilometers as he advanced.

Moreover, according to Ryan's thinking, wherever Lawn's army goes, it will definitely rush into the town like a whirlwind, form a "Holy Grail Court", and burn all identified vampires and humans corrupted by vampires.

This method is a just method and conforms to the requirements of chivalry, but doing this means that Raun will become the enemy of the entire Mousilon and will fall into the vast sea of ​​people's war.

Vampires are actually divided into many factions, including those who are ambitious and those who just want to live a quiet life. Some high-level vampires even live the same life as humans. Not all vampires are planning to destroy humans. Many vampires are already in human society. Take root, and so does Mousilon.

Lawn saw that the method of burning one by one was certainly a way to completely solve the problem, but the cruelty of this method made everyone in Musilon feel insecure, forcing everyone in Musilon to become enemies of the knight army.

Under this situation, Raun was unable to quickly capture the cursed city of Mousilon. The supply lines were attacked repeatedly and the army was exhausted. All he could do was withdraw.

Richard's plan to let Lawn pick peaches failed, and the war, which was neither won nor lost, was suspended. Britannia was exhausted and could no longer fight.

Finally, Richard gave the Duke of Lawn the title of regent and began to ask him to help him handle government affairs. As for when he would bring up the matter of passing the throne again, he would have to wait for the next opportunity.

"Msilon is really a hard nut to crack." Julius said disappointedly: "After this chaos invasion, the kingdom's power has declined very much. I don't know when the next time we will send troops to recapture Musilon."

"Sending troops again? Yuli, I think regaining Musilon is not a problem." Ryan touched his chin and said as he thought: "I think even if we fight a few more times, it will still end like this. First of all, what happened to Musilon?" How are we going to break through the ten-meter-high city wall? Do we rely on trebuchets? Furthermore, if we attack Mousilon again, we will definitely have to face serious vampire corruption. Before we figure out a way to solve the corruption, we cannot go out at will. Now The most important thing now is to recuperate.”

"...Yeah." Julius could only nod: "That's all we have now."

"The northern part of the kingdom has suffered heavy losses, and it may take five to ten years to return to its previous size." Holy Grail Knight Armand also said: "And after two wars, the nobles of the kingdom have become war-weary, and it will take time to regain Musilon. consider."

"Yeah." After finishing eating the watermelon, several knights also left. The only ones left in the room were Ryan, Olica and Emilia.

The Earl was still thinking with his head down. After thinking a lot, he still shook his head: "The matter of recovering Musilon is still under long-term consideration."

"Ryan, vampires are not that easy to deal with." Emilia shook her head: "Since the empire lost the province of Sylvania five hundred years ago, it has never successfully ruled that place. The vampire war has made the empire spiritless. Exhausted, all the vampire castles in Sylvania were razed to the ground, but since then, no nobles have been willing to rule Sylvania. Now all they have left are ruins and a few villages. No one dares to go to Sylvania except when the empire sends people there every year to collect taxes.”

Ryan smiled bitterly when he heard this. Isn't this the same situation for Musilon?

It is very easy for vampires to corrupt a land. It only takes a while for shadow and death to affect a land, and neither the living nor the dead will have peace.

What about purifying a land?

Purifying a land requires tens to hundreds of years of effort and a lot of large-scale magic.

Whether it is the Empire or Britannia, they all face a problem, that is, it is easy to defeat vampires, but it is difficult and very long to purify the land corrupted by vampires.

To put it simply, this place cannot be washed.

So how can I regain Musilon?

Ryan looked out the window and fell into deep thought.

After thinking for a long time, Ryan couldn't think of any particularly good method. He suddenly felt that someone should give him some advice.

The earl himself gave a bad smile and said to Emilia: "Emilia, thank you for your hard work. You can go and rest first."

"Okay." The little maid saw Ryan's strange smile. Emilia, who has followed Ryan for several years, still doesn't know what Ryan wants to do? The little maid glanced at the count with a bit of resentment, raised her skirt, saluted, and then withdrew.

The dark elf noticed that Ryan had set his sights on him, and Orica's face gradually turned red: "Master...Master?"

"Hey hey hey~ Olika, I have something to discuss with you." Ryan picked up the dark elf around the waist unkindly and kissed her on the cheek: "Old way, I'll go back to the room and talk~"

"Ah! Master~" The dark elf hugged Ryan's neck and said shyly: "Master, you are always like this."

…………

Belegar spent more than a month escaping from Seagate Pass to Karak-Breeze Castle. At this time, King Angrond's funds had been basically exhausted, and the group was quite embarrassed. They crossed through the leyline network. At the southern end of the Black Mountains and Gray Mountains, Breeze Castle was reached.

This team of several hundred people went through several battles along the way. There were many green-skin fortresses within the leyline network, but for some reason, most of the green-skin tribes they met along the way were in low spirits and lacked fighting spirit, and the green-skin fortresses Everything was in tatters and seemed to have just been looted. Lord Beile and his party repelled the enemy relatively smoothly.

At this time, Breeze Castle was already in sight.

King Rorek of Karak-Breeze Castle-Granite Hand heard that Belegar and his people had come to seek refuge. He opened the city gate and used the etiquette between kings to warmly welcome the group and arranged for them to stay. In the evening, Rorek held a grand banquet to welcome Belegar's arrival, and did not mention Belegar's expedition to the Eight Peaks Mountains. This undoubtedly brought a lot of comfort to Belegar's heart, and the pain of defeat was diluted. Some.

There are also differences among the dwarves. The dwarves closer to the Roof of the World Mountains in the east are relatively stubborn. Among them, the dwarf kings like Karak-Iron Peak Castle and Karak-Horn Castle still do not trust firearms and still like to use bows. Fight with crossbows and axes and hammers.

The dwarves closer to the west are relatively more tactful and flexible because they have more contact with humans. King Rorek of Karak-Breeze Castle is such a person. Breeze Castle is located in the middle of the Gray Mountains. Sandwiched between the Empire and Britannia, trading with both countries and often transporting goods from Marienburg, the dwarves here know better about speaking and diplomacy.

"Belega, my friend, what brought you here?" At the banquet, Rorek said to Belegar: "What a rare guest!"

"The thing is like this, the Angland clan did not go well on the expedition. I decided to preserve the strength of the clan and fight again in the future." Belegar touched his white beard, King Angland's white beard He was tied up with a lot of burlap and some copper rings, and there was nothing unusual about it from the outside: "I'm going to trouble you a little bit during this period, Lorek."

"of course."
