The Sun King's Evidence

PS: The second update of the time code is finally out today, please be more considerate!

Walking alone in the garden of the castle courtyard, Mathubad's face gradually became ferocious and crazy.

Even the most unscrupulous Duke of Musilon, the godson of the Lich King Arkhan, Mathurbad knew that there was not much time left for him. The situation of Musilon was deteriorating, and the vampires had control over that land. The force slowly decreases.

When did the situation start to get out of control?

Mahhubard recalled the situation. This time was about the beginning of the Mousilon Flood five years ago. The flood summoned by the fairy in the lake destroyed the entire Duchy of Connaught. After that, the situation of Mousilon went from bad to worse.

The entire Blood Knight banner team disappeared during the attack on Ryan's territory, and then there was the battle of Turis Castle. The Red Duke died. Arkhan tried to sneak attack on Ryan's territory but encountered some extremely terrifying existence. The entire elite team The vampire army was wiped out.

This was a fatal blow to Musilon. Due to the bankruptcy of the plan, Arkhan had to set out to find the Crown of Nagash (Crown of Sorcery), while the vampire Count Manfred was ordered to attack Skaven. Magic City, looking for the Sword of Nagash.

Otherwise, Musilon's army, which had been accumulated for hundreds of years, could not be said to be able to fight against the entire Britannia. At least a coalition of three or four dukes would not be a problem.

After several huge setbacks, Mahhubard had very few troops left, so he had to take this strategy. Didn't Mahhubard know that his plan was very risky?

No, he knows it too well, but he has no choice. If he continues to be content with the status quo, he will just sit back and wait for death! How long did it take before Duke Lawn's chivalry army reached the gates of Mousilon? The corpse of the Blood Red Duke who died in battle outside Turis Castle is still looking at Mathubad, the new (self-proclaimed) Duke of Mousilon, quietly!

Only by gambling can he have a chance to reverse the situation, otherwise he will die slowly. Mahhubard has been taught by Arkhan since he was a child, and he knows very well what he should do.

Vampires are also lurking in Bordeleau. The necromancer Farah and several vampires infiltrated and bribed Duke Bodrick's quartermaster, and bought an obsolete trebuchet from the quartermaster at a high price. The trebuchet has been seriously damaged and cannot be repaired. Its load-bearing capacity can no longer throw stones. It can only throw objects weighing one or two hundred kilograms at most. The quartermaster feels that this thing is useless and reports it to Duke Boderick for disposal at a low price. The transfer was also approved.

Throwing boulders is not enough, but throwing a person is enough. The vampires will tie Farah to a trebuchet and use the trebuchet to throw the necromancer into the castle from the outside. Once the necromancer bypasses the castle barrier, he can directly Inside the castle, the Black Holy Grail Knight lurking outside the castle is summoned into the castle!

He took a look just now, and as expected, weapons were prohibited at the banquet. Even the Dukes did not carry weapons. Except for the damn Templar who was still fully armed, Mathubad noticed that there were only the Lanes and their The little maid was wearing a sword, which was against the rules, but for Ryan's sake the guards didn't say anything.

As long as those powerful Black Holy Grail knights are allowed to rush into the banquet, it will be a massacre.

"Ma...Dominique, what are you doing here? Did you come to the garden to wash your hands?" When Mathubad was still thinking, the sound of high heels came from beside him, and Fiona looked at her impatiently. Walking from the side: "You came into the castle just to enjoy the flowers?"

"Why don't you stay at the banquet?" Of course Mathubad will not go to the banquet center. He is still a little afraid of being discovered, especially Duke Berhemond and Ryan. Both of them are real fierce men. Ryan Both Lidya Su and Lidya Su have met him.

Fortunately, there were many people today, and there were hundreds of people at the banquet.

"What's there to do at the banquet? A group of Holy Grail knights are just bragging to each other." Fiona stared at Mathubad. The emotions on the girl's face changed back and forth. She continued: "Can you tell me now? Why must it be so? Do you want to attend this banquet?"

"Fiona, I'm sorry for what happened before. I hope you can understand me. I have my own reasons, Fiona." Mathubad immediately pretended to be aggrieved. He was like a frustrated wandering knight. Very dejected: "I am now a fugitive wanted by the kingdom, but because I won the runner-up in the Knights Conference, these knights do not dare to publicly deal with me out of face and lack of evidence. I must Find a way to clear my name."

"I will support you." Fiona didn't quite understand how Mathhubad would clear his name, but the noble lady had already made up her mind to support the "poor man" in front of her.

Because it was not Mahhubard who was wrong, but the decadent aristocratic system of the entire Knight Kingdom. In order to wash away Mahhubard's grievances, Fiona was willing to face the whole world with him.

The granddaughter of Duke Belion made up her mind, no matter what, she would definitely stand by Mahhubard's side.

"In this case, let's go to the castle first to see where the wizard is."

"good."

…………

At the banquet, the Holy Grail Knights such as Ryan, Berhemond, Hubbard, and Lawn-Leo Cornish sat around the central round table. This is the glory that belongs exclusively to the Holy Grail Knights. In this country, there are only Holy Grail Knights. You can sit at this large round table made of cherry blossom wood at a banquet.

"Ryan, I heard about your active performance in the Helmgart Plague. Please drink this cup." On the round table, the Holy Grail Knights ate and drank. The Red Dragon Duke Bohemond raised his glass and signaled to Ryan. Drink it all.

"Uh, about Countess Eva..." Ryan drank a whole glass of red wine. Before he could speak, Bohemond broke off another big goose leg: "Come, try the goose meat and Bass here." What’s the difference in Toni’s!”

A huge roast goose leg was stuffed into Ryan's mouth, and Ryan could only nod with a grimace. Duke Bohemond was two generations older than him. He was not only a direct blood descendant of Arthur, but also one of the top saints in the entire kingdom. The great knight of the domain, as a junior, he still has to abide by the rules.

The goose leg was just chewed, and Bohemond took another roasted lamb leg and put it on Ryan's plate. The Duke had a "sincere" smile on his face: "Why, lady's champion, you married Sulia, You want to marry my granddaughter again? This is not possible, a knight can have many women, but he can only have one lady!"

"That's not what I meant, my Lord the Duke." Ryan defended with some embarrassment: "I was asking about..."

"Why do you keep asking about things that have nothing to do with you? Ryan, this matter has nothing to do with you. If you want to discuss it, let Francois or Julius come to me! What does it mean for your own son-in-law to intercede?" Berhemond laughed loudly and said in the tone of a senior reprimanding a junior: "You can't replace Julius and Fedmund in a championship showdown!"

Ryan somewhat understood what Berhemond meant. The Duke had already made up his mind, and he did not need to discuss it with Ryan, so he politely rejected Ryan's temptation in this semi-ridiculous way.

The two sides stopped talking, and Ryan knew it in his heart. He took the opportunity to raise his glass to Fedmund: "Congratulations again, Fedmund."

"Congratulations!" All the Holy Grail Knights present also raised their wine glasses.

"For the lady! For Brittany!"

"For Bordeleau!"

The Knights of the Holy Grail toasted and drank together.

After another full drink, Berhemond said to Ryan: "I heard that you and Francois planned to attack the Blackstone Fortress in the Gray Mountains?"

"Yes, we are planning." Ryan nodded. In the beautiful Bodliux Castle, sea water filled the banquet scene and courtyard, and the dolphin symbolizing Mannann rolled in the air, swayed and then fell into the water.

"The Principality of Bastogne will send two teams of kingdom knights to support you." The Principality of Bastogne is not far from the Black Stone Stronghold. Duke Bohemond obviously also has this concern: "Kemler's threat is a threat to the kingdom. The Dukes all have their own headaches. Last year's Chaos Invasion severely damaged the vitality of many principalities. You and Francois cannot place too much hope on all the Dukes sending troops to support you. Ryan, you must learn how to survive without reinforcements. solve the problem yourself.”

"I understand." Ryan was stunned, and then immediately replied: "Attacking the Blackstone Stronghold is not a chivalry war. Please don't think too much about it. Guarding your own territory is our greatest devotion to the lady."

These words made the Dukes who were listening feel relieved. News that Ryan and Francois planned to attack the Blackstone stronghold had spread among the top leaders in Britannia. The Dukes felt a lot of pressure because they They often face their own problems.

First of all, the northern part of the kingdom suffered heavy losses in the Chaos invasion of Egil last year. They need time to rest. Duke Aldereld of Lyonnais, Duke Hagen of Gisoleaux and Duke Raun of Connet are embarrassed. You can tell from their expressions that they have no ability to send troops. Fourcade, Duke of Montfort, is still clearing and restoring the Axbite Pass, so he will not send troops either.

Then, the Principality of Bordeaux is currently facing a political transition, and it is unclear whether it is willing to send troops. The Principality of Carcassonne has been facing harassment from greenskins and ratmen all year round. The Principality of Berleon is in chaos. The Principality of Palavon, Casfann and Fernando The relationship between François and François was extremely poor, and after repeated calculations, only the Principality of Bastogne was able to spare the strength and the kindness to send troops to support.

Bohemond's words subtly supported the Dukes who were unable to send troops, and euphemistically said that if you want to fight, fight. We don't have the energy to help you now. Duke Red Dragon is helping the Dukes to say what they want to say but can't. After all, Ryan is the chosen champion of the Fairy of the Lake. If he takes the name of the Fairy of the Lake, it will be more difficult for the Dukes.

Immediately afterwards, Berhemond sold Lane another favor. He said that he would send troops to help Lane, but Lane and Francois still had to rely on their own strength to win the war, rather than relying on the follow-up support of the dukes.

While testing each other, another problem was solved. Ryan thought that Bohemond was not at all ignorant of politics and the court as the outside world said. He just didn't care. The young earl raised his glass and said: "Please drink this." Cup, my lord the Duke, I wish you good health and a long life.”

"Thank you." Bohemond and Ryan toasted.

There seemed to be a tacit agreement.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of meat, at the banquet site, on the stage set up by the servants, the famous stage play "Dragon Quest" began. Everyone stopped what they were doing to watch the stage play.

The background of the story is very simple. In Britannia, a Holy Grail Knight heard that a giant dragon had invaded the country and decided to destroy him. The brave Holy Grail Knight mounted his horse, picked up his lance, and began a dragon-slaying expedition.

The person who plays the role of the Knight of the Holy Grail is a young formal knight. He is wearing red full-body plate armor and holding a sword and shield, looking majestic.

The people who played the role of the red dragon were...five serfs. They lined up in a row, covered their bodies in "dragon bodies" made of animal skins, wood, and metal, and used various weapons to move towards the "Holy Grail" with their claws and teeth. Knight" rushes.

"For the sake of the lady, accept the trial, dragon! May the lady grant me victory!" The "Knight of the Holy Grail", played by a knight, began his performance. He charged bravely and fought with the "dragon".

The "dragon" refused to be defeated. Like all villains, it fought back with all its strength. The dragon's body flipped on the stage and whipped the knight's shield. The dragon's mouth seemed to be made with the help of dwarves, and it could actually breathe fire.

Ryan was not interested in this inferior performance at first, but the Earl soon discovered that this was not a fake fight, but a real fight! The knight and the "dragon" were really dueling on the stage. The dragon's tail made of iron and leather swung at the knight's face, beating his face to a bloody pulp, and the knight's sharp blade penetrated the "dragon" "A large amount of blood also spurted out from the body. It was definitely not chicken blood or pig blood!

Are you serious? Ryan was quite surprised. Just as the count was about to say something, something unexpected happened on the stage.

A serf suddenly stretched out his arm from the "dragon body", and he stabbed the knight's neck directly with a red dagger!

"Ahhh!" There were screams from the stage. The audience was frightened by this situation. They saw the knight covering his neck in disbelief, blood spurting out from between his fingers, and then he fell down helplessly. Fell off the stage.

"???Bodrick? What are you acting?" Bohemond asked Duke Bordeaux strangely: "The so-called Dragon Quest is when the evil dragon kills the brave in a despicable way by sneak attack. ?”

"Wait~" Bo Derek was also confused. He muttered strangely: "That's wrong, isn't that how the script is written?"

The Dukes were still wondering. The "dragon" on the stage was not going to give them time to think. The five serfs held up the dragon body like crazy and rushed directly towards the banquet!

"Ah! God! What happened?"

"Help!"

"Run away!"

The audience was in chaos, with screams, stampings, and the sound of broken glasses resounding throughout the banquet!

"Guard! Protect the guests! Protect the Duke!"
