The Sun King's Evidence

When Belegar Hammer's Hammer of Angrond hit the head of the Skaven Warlord Orsed Abyss, the Skaven Warlord, whose armor was full of dents, could no longer withstand the heavy blow. He died on the spot.

Now, the dimensional gate collapsed in front of everyone and turned into ruins. The Skaven clan had already fled underground before the Skaven army could escape. The sound of explosions and collapses covered up the voices of everyone talking.

"We may be able to find something from this book." A white paper was hung on the Skaven warlord's waist. Belegar reached out and took off the book. Then, the king of the Angrond clan raised his iron sword. The hammer hit Osaid on the head again.

The rat's already shattered head was smashed to pieces.

"Okay, this will guarantee death." Belega nodded, and he said to Ryan and Helberg with an experienced attitude: "When facing a strong enemy, you must learn to make up for it, human beings."

"I have always beheaded." Ryan looked at the collapsed portal and felt a little uncomfortable. The power of the Skaven was obvious to all. He dared to say that if he hadn't been able to effectively deal with the Abomination of the Pit, this army might still be there. A great loss will be incurred.

And this is just a small clan among the Skaven.

"In this way, we can truly eliminate the threat of the Skaven. I mean within a period of time in the future." Belegar nodded: "It's time for us to withdraw. The dwarves can resist the power of the dimension stone for a long time. But humans can’t do that, my engineers will use explosives to blow this place down.”

Ryan let out a sigh of relief, he was indeed tired of the Ratman thing.

Lidya Su patted Ryan's hand understandingly, smiled softly, and made her husband feel better.

During the battle with the Skaven, you can hear endless irritating whispers, the stench of countless corpses and seas of blood, and the sound of "yesyes" surrounding you. Not only Ryan, but almost all human armies hear Baelor After receiving the instructions, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The physical pain was only secondary, and the mental pain was the real reason that made them feel uncomfortable.

This is Skaven corruption.

Ryan himself does not eat corruption, but this does not mean that he will not feel uncomfortable and tired inside.

Only Sulia didn't feel any irritation at all. The golden double-headed eagle wedding ring on her left ring finger continued to exude warm power and protect the countess.

When the group of people withdrew from the underground, it was already three hours later. On the snowy ruins of Helmgart, Emperor Karl-Franz had already sent people to prepare hot water and food, and a large group of battle priests Prayers and holy water baths are being conducted for soldiers returning from war.

After a brief rest, Earl of Glamorgan Lion Malcador, Countess Surya, Imperial Emperor Karl Franz, Marshal Reik Kurt Helberg, Emperor's Flag Officer Ludwig Schwarz Zhammer, King of Eight Peaks Belegar-Iron Hammer and others gathered together for a meeting again.

This time we will discuss how to deal with Helmgart.

After taking a shower and changing into an earl's dress, Ryan opened the curtain. At this time, everyone was already seated.

All the supplies in the emperor's golden tent were complete. The long table in the big tent was set with fine wine and delicacies specially provided by the royal family. The bright silver candlesticks were emitting firelight. Belegar was eating and drinking with all his heart. Particularly fond of the Emperor's Ale, and lots of meat.

"Good evening, Ryan, do you mind if I call you that?" The emperor had no appetite, and his face clearly showed that he was worried. When he saw Ryan coming in, the emperor forced out a smile and stretched out his hand to motion for Ryan to sit down.

Unlike Britannia, the seats in the Empire were arranged in rows, and Mr. and Mrs. Lane were motioned to sit in the second or third seat on the right.

"Good evening, His Majesty Franz." Ryan and Sulia sat down one after another.

"Thank you, Earl Lane and Countess Sulia, you saved Helmgart and are the heroes of Helmgart." The emperor spoke first, and he expressed his gratitude officially: "I would like to thank you. I just don’t know what you need.”

"Eradicating evil is my duty. I don't want to ask your Majesty for bloody rewards when the whole city has been reduced to ruins." Ryan and Sulia looked at each other and shook their heads together: " This is not what a lady's knight should be."

"Well, I have a box here." Emperor Karl-Franz motioned to Reik's guards to bring up a box decorated with a golden iron cross skull: "Inside is part of the wealth accumulated by Count Reinhardt over the years. The value will not be less than a thousand gold marks, I will give it to you as a symbol of our friendship and as a reward for your participation in this incident."

Ryan hesitated, and the emperor continued: "Please don't refuse. I know that two of your female courtiers were injured because of this. I don't understand magic, but I know that it takes a long time and a lot of cost for a wizard to recover after being injured."

These words left Ryan speechless.

The Earl now has a big family and a big business. Most of the time, his will to act can no longer be based on his own pleasure, but must take into account the interests of his entire camp. He cannot harm Theresa and Veronica just because he doesn't want it. Benefit, Teresa was seriously injured, and Veronica had to rest for a month or two to recover her magic power. Ryan couldn't let their injuries be in vain, right?

Ryan accepted the treasure box. The heavy treasure box was filled with gold and silver jewelry, making the sound of coins colliding.

"Due to the persistence of you and the soldiers and civilians of Helmgart, the Skaven did not take away enough trophies. Except for food, most of the lost trophies have been found by the army in the Skaven camp. The loss is smaller than I estimated." When the emperor saw Ryan accepting the box, he nodded and continued: "Reconstruction is a huge effort, but humans will not give in in the face of difficulties, and the empire has already made preparations for reconstruction. Preparations for Helmgart.”

"Where are the refugees? How to arrange it?" Ryan asked in a low voice.

"Master Ernst has already led people to solve the distribution problem of refugees. As long as they are willing to stay and rebuild Helmgart, they can obtain a small part of the land and house property rights. If they are not willing to stay in this sad place, , then we will also arrange other places for them to live." The emperor continued: "For the time being, the trade route at Axe Pass will be cut off for a period of time."

"If Britannia needs help, just tell me." Ryan knew that Emperor Karl was negotiating with him.

Karl Franz set his sights on Ryan.

In the past few years, it is not an exaggeration to say that Ryan is the most powerful nobleman in southern Brittany. Although he is only an earl, a whole chain of interests and groups headed by him are gradually forming. Behind Ryan, there are With the full support of the Lake Fairy, even the king was extremely afraid of him.

If Lane were the elector of the empire, Karl Franz would definitely suppress and exclude Lane vigorously. As the emperor of the empire, he would not allow anyone to challenge his status.

This is not an IQ issue, nor a moral issue, this is an ass issue.

But Ryan is different. This guy is a great nobleman of Britannia. Not only will he not be a threat to the empire, but he will be a powerful ally to help each other in this dark era. The empire is surrounded by enemies on all sides. The emperor knows that if a It would be good news for the Empire for a Holy Grail Knight and God-Chosen Champion like Ryan who is determined to eradicate threats within his territory, fight against evil on his own initiative, and has a deep connection with the Empire, and also has a good overall perspective to control the Kingdom of Knights.

"Very well, let us put Helmgart aside in advance. Our dwarf friend, King Belegar's men, have decoded the diary of the Skaven warlord Orsaid." After getting Ryan's answer, The emperor tactfully changed the subject.

Whether it is Ryan or Emperor Karl, both of them are smart people. Some things are revealed at a glance, so there is no need to continue talking.

"That white paper? Is it a diary?" Ryan complained: "Oh my God, the Skaven can actually write a diary?"

"The name of this clan of Skaven is the Festering Clan. They launched an attack on Helmgart under the order of their master..." Belegar began to explain some of the contents he read in the diary.

After the last meeting of the Skaven Council of Thirteen, according to the orders of the Great Horned Rat, the main force of the Skaven were focused on preparing to attack Lustria. At the same time, Helmgart, who was attacking the Empire, was preparing to pass The ax bites the pass, spreading corruption and disease to both the Empire and Britannia.

The Festering Clan is the Skaven Clan responsible for this goal. They have secretly occupied the Montfort Deep Mine and the Helmgart Underground Mine. The original plan was to slowly penetrate and spread. plague.

However, the leader of the Festering Clan was obviously extremely unwilling to do so. It was very dissatisfied with the grand strategy of the Thirteen-person Council, which represented the will of the Horned Rat, to mobilize large forces to attack Lustria.

This group of young men decided that we should do it ourselves and destroy Helmgart directly. The Horned Rat would definitely notice our great deeds and bless us!

This led to the current catastrophe, and Helmgart was destroyed in one fell swoop.

There are more than just these records in the diary. Belegar's men learned from the diary that the Skaven warlord O'Said Abyss, under the endless suggestions of his men, in order to prevent other ratmen from stealing credit and loot, so he returned to the army. They launched an attack before they were fully prepared and the dimensional gate was unstable. Seeing this, Gray Prophet Spratt was not to be outdone and launched an attack immediately.

In other words, this clan was not fully prepared at all, so they launched an attack for loot and credit, and even the rat mother was brought to the front line.

Sure enough, the essence of the second and fifth boys is to support fire, Ryan thought to himself, he should find a way to tell Brother Fulgan the news.

"Even so, victory is victory. We defeated the Skaven attack and destroyed the portal. At least for a while in the future, the Skaven will no longer appear in the Empire or Britannia." Belle added. "I said, the rest has nothing to do with us, it's time for me to return with Ryan."

"King Belega is not going to continue to visit the empire?" Emperor Karl-Franz originally wanted to invite Belega to Brunswick as a guest.

"It's not necessary." Belegar shook his head repeatedly. During this time, he had inspected many villages in the Empire and Britannia along the Gray Mountains. The King of the Eight Peaks Mountain has a stubborn personality and loves to save face, which does not mean that he is an idiot.

Belegar couldn't find what he wanted from the empire. In terms of infantry and long-range artillery, Belegar didn't like the strength of the imperial army. These infantry were too fragile. If they were hit by a wave of green skins, they would collapse. Long-range artillery. Artillery, the Empire is as good as the Dwarves? Most of the Empire's artillery are defective products made with the help of dwarves. There may be some special war machines in the Brunswick Military Factory or the Nuer Military Factory, and the Empire may not be willing to borrow them.

The only thing that Belegar found acceptable was the Imperial Knights and the Praetorian Guards around the emperor. However, there was no doubt that the Imperial Knights were not as powerful as the Brittanian knights, and the Praetorian Guards were even less likely to be dispatched.

After the plague, Belegar had no intention of continuing the investigation. What he wanted to do was to quickly return to Breeze Castle so that the clansmen could gather for a meeting to discuss how to borrow more knights from Britannia to regain the Eight Peaks Mountain. ?

Well, there is also the Holy Grail Knight in front of him. He must be brought with him. He will leave the difficult thing like the Abomination of the Pit to him. Belega thought as he looked at Ryan.

"I don't plan to stay any longer. I will continue to return to the territory early tomorrow morning." Ryan also said to the emperor: "I have been out long enough."

"Then I won't keep you." Karl Franz nodded.

After the Lions and Belegar left, the emperor sat in the golden tent and thought for a long time. He relaxed on the chair and held the warhammer Gael-Malaz in his hand, which had gone through two thousand years since the establishment of the empire. The artifact is still full of unparalleled power.

"Did you see it with your own eyes?" After a long time, the emperor asked Marshal Rick behind him.

"He is indeed very strong." Marshal Rick Heilberg's stern face loomed in the firelight, with only two long beards trembling: "His strength is obviously better than Ludwig. In the future, he will not become a powerful force in the empire. With your help, you will become the empire’s formidable enemy!”

"He is the Knight of the Holy Grail," the Emperor repeated.

"Yes, fortunately he is the Knight of the Holy Grail." Helberg repeated.

It was very quiet in the golden tent, the emperor, the flag officer and Marshal Rick were all thinking.

"His actions are based on the will of the Lady in the Lake." Flag Officer Ludwig spoke.

"But he is too powerful. For the Holy Grail Knights, his combat power is already at the top of the Holy Grail Knights. By the way, how does Ludwig and Ryan's strength compare with Francois, Duke of Winford? ?" Marshal Rick Heilberg thought about Ryan's performance along the way.

"Almost... or slightly weaker. I have seen Francois take action. He once broke through an entire army of the undead and entered it, and finally seriously injured the great wizard of the undead, Heinrich Kemmler." Lu Deweg said roughly: "From the current point of view, Ryan's strength may not be as good as Francois, but the gap is not big."

"These husband-in-laws are really scary. No wonder Francois married his daughter to Ryan." The emperor chuckled a few times, with helplessness on his face: "Why, why don't our empire have so many powerful holy knights? More than 300 Holy Grail Knights from the entire Kingdom of Britannia have come out, what can we do to fight against them?"

"But we have steel, artillery, and faith." Marshal Rick Heilberg shook his head: "Your Majesty, please don't say that, your people have never surrendered in the face of darkness."

"I'm wondering if there is a way to drag Ryan into our battle line?" The emperor changed the subject: "We and Britannia both have common enemies, Chaos, Greenskins, and the Undead."

"It's difficult, but it's not hopeless." Ludwig stopped talking after saying this.

"This solution will fall on Emmanuel."

In fact, many problems are butt problems, just like playing ck2. If the player is the king, he will definitely focus on weakening the vassals and centralizing power. If the player is the vassal, he will definitely focus on causing trouble, hoping that the king will die suddenly and replace him.
