The Sun King's Evidence

The Emperor's reinforcements have arrived!

Helmgart is saved!

As fresh troops joined the battlefield, the situation changed instantly. The cunning Skaven warlord O'Said immediately gave up the battle. The rat warlord immediately fled with his tail between his legs, leaving behind a group of people who lost their command. mob.

Emperor Karl-Franz was determined to pursue the Skaven warlords, but in the end the emperor ordered to support those survivors who were desperately resisting.

Now is not the time to be greedy for credit, rescuing survivors is the most important thing.

Ryan himself stood in front of the human front, and the Skaven's last struggle was completely destroyed by him. After that, the group charge of the Half-Gryphon Knight and the Rick Guard completely defeated the Skaven.

The Skaven were driven out of the Church of Justice, and the survivors could finally breathe. Many soldiers and refugees fainted on the spot.

As the war continued, the Emperor's troops marched into Helmgart and thoroughly cleared the town under the command of Karl-Franz.

As the great swordsmen joined the battle, the defeat of the rat men was inevitable, and it was not Ryan's turn to take action himself. The God-chosen champion of the Fairy of the Lake let out a sigh of relief.

Llane single-handedly defeated Gray Seer Spratt and his entire army in Helmgart, including the Plague Monks, the Sewer Runners, and the Warp Lightning Cannon.

It is precisely because of Llane's efforts that the Skaven lacked the support of long-range troops and siege weapons when they besieged the Church of Justice, and the refugees have persisted until now.

"Really? Both Veronica and Theresa were injured?" After learning the cause and effect, Ryan let out a sigh of relief. He took Sulia's little hand and sat down. The chosen champion of the Fairy of the Lake fought hard day and night. , but the plate armor on his body was as bright as new, and it didn't seem to be affected at all: "What about you? Sulia? Are you injured?"

"I'm fine." The female knight shook her head repeatedly: "The rat man can't break through my defense. I'm just a little tired. It's okay. You'd better go and see Miss Theresa. She was the most seriously injured and was poisoned. "

"Okay, then I'll leave this to you. I'll go see Theresa and Veronica." Ryan patted Sulia on the shoulder. He didn't say much. The two were already husband and wife, and he didn't need to talk to her. Lidya Su emphasizes nothing more.

When he pushed open the door to the inner chamber of the church, Ryan frowned at the smell of blood. There were several corpses of Skaven on the ground.

Veronica, who was wearing a fiery red leather coat, leaned on the chair. When she saw Ryan coming in, the Witch of Gloria said with a half-smile: "I knew you were coming over."

"I will definitely come over." Ryan said with a wry smile. Veronica's teasing eyes always made him feel very uncomfortable: "Is Theresa okay?"

The sorceress was already asleep. She was seriously injured. Veronica's potion could only help her temporarily stop the bleeding, stabilize the injury, and suppress the toxins. If she wanted to fully recover, she would need a long time to recover from her injuries.

"I really don't know what kind of ecstasy you gave to this little princess of Jialan? How many times has it been? She really tried her best for you." Veronica stretched out her hand to pull back her dark brown hair. At the back of her mind, her tone was sour: "I just went out on an adventure with you."

"Veronica, don't say it so harshly. I know you are willing to do your best for me." Ryan stretched out his hand to pick up the Witch of Gloria, put it on his lap, and placed a kiss on her lips. Kissed: "You just don't say it, but I understand."

Veronica snorted softly, but the blush on her face never faded away. She let Ryan hold her and paused for about five seconds: "Okay, hurry up and help Trovik detoxify. The dimensional stone is poisonous." Yes, we all know this, otherwise Mrs. Sulia would not take such a big risk to pull out the warpstone dagger."

"I know." Ryan nodded. The dimensional stone has strong poison and chaotic energy.

"Go quickly, I'll hold the door for you... This sentence is really strange to say. I really want to wonder if Trovik did this on purpose?" Veronica pushed Ryan away, stood up and walked towards the door. .

"She doesn't know." Ryan shrugged.

"But she got her wish!" Veronica closed the door to the room. The Witch of Gloria seemed to have cast a little trick, and the sounds outside suddenly became quiet.

Ryan walked to the sorceress's bedside and sat down, with a strange smile on his face: "Okay, Theresa, I know you are awake all the time."

The sorceress, who was pale and bandaged, opened her eyes. There was a hint of panic in her silver eyes: "Sorry, Ryan, I..."

"I am the one who should be sorry." Ryan reached out and stroked the sorceress's long black hair, and he said warmly: "Now, let me detoxify you."

"Detox... detoxify? Then... what is that going to do? I hear what Veronica means..." Teresa's face turned red instantly, and the sorceress hesitated and said: "Could it be..."

"Yes, it's what you think." Ryan squinted his eyes and continued to laugh. He whispered: "It's okay, I will be very gentle. Also, haven't you been looking forward to it for a long time?"

"But I don't want to be here, what kind of place is this!" Teresa complained softly, "I'm still injured!"

"There is no way, your body can't wait, the poison of the dimension stone needs to be eliminated quickly." Ryan held Teresa's left hand: "I know you want to have good memories, and I don't want this, but you don't want it either. Will there be any sequelae or scars on the body?"

"Then...okay." Theresa struggled for a while and finally closed her eyes.

In her mind, countless memories flowed like water in the long river of memory.

From Winterfell to Kalzenhaven, from Mjordenhaven to Marienburg, from Skydome to the Earldom of Glamorgan, from Brunswick to Helmgart...

She couldn't remember any more as Ryan kissed her softly.

Waves of dizzying feelings overwhelmed the sorceress's will.

…(omitted below)…

By the time Ryan settled everything and came out of the church, it was already noon.

Imperial Emperor Karl-Franz is leading the army to be stationed in Helmgart. The purple-gold four-corner tent is fully equipped with various facilities. The tents cover the open space in front of the church and on the city wall.

The demi-griffon knights and the Reik Guards guarded the emperor's tent. The atmosphere in the camp was very stiff. The soldiers brought water and food to the refugees. The refugees threw down their weapons hastily and ate and drank.

In addition to the joy of surviving the disaster, what remains is endless sadness.

Helmgart is on the verge of destruction. Fires throughout the city have submerged its former prosperity. Less than 10% of the hundreds of houses have been destroyed. There are corpses of humans and ratmen everywhere. The prosperous market a day ago has been destroyed. All the goods in the city were looted, and when the Imperial troops cleared the city, all they saw were bones.

Bones that had been eaten clean by rat men.

The Count's castle has been razed to the ground. The Skaven took away everything they could from the Count's castle, destroying what they could not take away. The great swordsmen searched in vain for any possible descendants or surviving members of the Count. Relatives, but all they could find were corpses and a wall riddled with holes.

The slums built with shacks turned into a huge cesspit and stinking ditch, filled with feces and sludge, as well as the poison of the warpstone belonging to the Skaven. The shops of the merchants and the row houses of the rich have been destroyed. Destroyed, the refugees are looking for their relatives and property under the protection of the army, and the whole city is full of cries.

After the search is complete, the Imperial forces will completely "purify" the city, razing it to the ground with fire, and then consider whether to rebuild it.

Ryan walked towards the emperor's big tent in silence. He noticed that the two new recruits of the Reik Guards, Rudolf and Wagner, were treated like heroes. They were surrounded by the Reik Guards in the middle of the crowd. They were able to survive in such a critical situation. Under the circumstances, they fulfilled their mission. Not only did they complete the task of protecting the Ryan family, but they were not afraid to rally the remaining troops to resist tenaciously and waited until reinforcements arrived. They proved their ability. This battle was their battle to become famous. Even the most strict Marshal Heilberg of Rick had a straight face and patted Rudolf and Wagner hard on the shoulders twice: "Well done!"

Rudolf and Wagner almost didn't recognize Helberg, and both felt flattered.

Imperial Captain Huber also received preferential treatment. He is currently the highest-ranking survivor of Helmgart.

"Your Excellency Ryan, you are finally here. The emperor is waiting for you in the tent." Seeing Ryan appear, Helberg put away his admiring look and said seriously: "Please hurry up, Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time. Please follow I come."

"Sorry, my female courtier was injured and poisoned." Ryan explained briefly.

"That's not important. What's important is that His Majesty has been waiting for you. I have no intention of delving into the reason for your delay." Heilberg didn't appreciate it at all. His expression was like a smelly stone in a cesspit. Marshal Rick was walking in full armor. Very quickly: "As soon as possible, please."

Ryan shook his head and quickly followed Heilberg. He noticed that the Elector's Holy Sword - the Rune Fang "The Hater" hung on Helberg's waist.

The one who held the grudge was the Holy Sword of the Elector of Solland, the former imperial province. However, in the era of the Three Emperors, the famous green-skinned warlord "Iron Claw" Gorbad invaded the empire from the Blackfire Pass and fought all the way to the city of Brunswick. At that time, Duke Edrid, the elector of Solland, was killed in a duel with Gorbad. The elector's crown and rune teeth were taken away. The entire army of Solland was annihilated, and the entire province was razed to the ground.

Gorbad was finally defeated under the city of Brunswick. After the inheritance of Solland was cut off, the entire province was merged into the Wesenland. It has since become part of the Wesenland. After many years of losing the Runefang "Hatemaker", the entire province was annexed to the Wesenland. He was accidentally discovered during an assault on an Greenskin stronghold in the World's Roof Mountains and returned to the hands of the Empire.

Since then, the Runefang Hater has become the status symbol of Marshal Rick. The Elector's Holy Sword is not only a status symbol, but also an extremely powerful artifact. The important reason for the final failure of "Iron Claw" Gorbad at that time was Before he died in a heroic battle, Adolphus, the Elector of Brescia and the Grand Duke of Iverland, used the rune tooth "Mother of Destruction" in his hand to deeply pierce Gorbad's chest, seriously injuring the strongest warrior in history. The wounds caused by the green-skinned warlord and the Holy Sword of the Elector could not be healed even by a creature like the greenskin for a long time. Troubled by the injury, Gorbad was not only greatly reduced in strength as a result, but could no longer effectively unite the greenskins. The army was ultimately defeated.

(The green-skinned creature has almost no pain, and injured limbs will automatically regenerate. Only the most serious injuries can cause it to feel pain.)

Thinking too far, Ryan shook his head. He tried to ask Heilberg: "I didn't expect the empire to react so quickly. The rapid gathering of knights is simple, but the great swordsmen are actually so fast?"

The emperor and his army set out from Brunswick and marched for a day and a night before reaching Helmgart.

"The Griffin Great Swordsmen are not the city garrison of Brunswick. This Great Swordsman is the private army of the Emperor's Franz-Friedrich family. It is supported by His Majesty the Emperor's private wealth, so as long as The emperor gave an order that these soldiers must go out overnight, otherwise the emperor will expel them from the military. This is your majesty's personal pocket and will not be used as waste." Heilberg said roughly: "The same goes for the Brunswick Royal Half-Griffin Guard. ."

"Is there any internal money?" Ryan nodded. Every elector has his own personal guard, and the emperor will naturally have one too.

Opening the tent with the coat of arms of the golden griffon family, Emperor Karl Franz was already sitting there. He was talking to Ernst, the supreme mentor of the demon hunter.

Ernst, the Supreme Master of the Demon Hunter, is over 400 years old. He was born in the era of the Three Emperors, experienced the Vampire War, and participated in the Great Holy War. The Supreme Master of the Demon Hunter who appeared in front of Ryan was tall and full of hair. His hair was white and his face was deep and deep. Only those turbid eyes concealed a deep murderous intention: "My Majesty, I still don't understand why you let those refugees live. You should let all the refugees live." Burn at the stake to ensure the purification of the city.”

"Calm down, Master Ernst. Someone has vouched for the refugees. He believes that the remaining refugees have established a strong will when fighting the rat tide, are not so easily corrupted, and based on the current investigation, stay in the church. The refugees inside are basically healthy." The emperor sat on the chair, his face looking very ugly.

Just before his eyes were lowered, the Skaven actually destroyed an entire city in his territory. It was really shameful. According to what I knew, if Ryan and his party hadn't happened to stay in Helmgart, he and his army would never have been able to do so. Before we could even get here, the entire city was destroyed.

"Guarantee? Who?"

"Me." Ryan walked in under the leadership of Helberg. He said to the Supreme Master of the Demon Hunter: "I guarantee that the remaining refugees have been purified by my power, and the problematic ones have been purified by me. solved."

The Demon Hunter Supreme Master wanted to say something more, but another Rick guard came in from outside to report: "My Majesty, Count Reinhardt has been found."

"Where is he?" The emperor stretched out his hand to signal Ryan to wait. There was a hint of anger on Karl Franz's face: "I handed Helmgart to him, and what he gave me back was a city like this?"

"He..." Guard Rick pursed his lips, and the veteran of many battles lowered his head: "We only found his body, and, my lord, we agreed that there is no need to bring it here."

"Why?"

"Count Reinhardt's body was stuffed into a pipe with a diameter of more than ten centimeters by the Rat Man, and stretched into a length of more than ten meters... We only identified the piece of rotten flesh as Count Reinhardt through the ring. "Rick's guard's face twitched a little, and he continued to report the situation.

"Okay, you can find a place to cremate him. He and his family have become history." Emperor Karl nodded helplessly, and he motioned for the Rick guards to go down.

The Rick guard just walked out, and within a few seconds he opened the curtain and came in: "My lord, a group of dwarves are here. They said they want to see you and Mr. Ryan."

"Dwarves? Invite them in!"
