The Sun King's Evidence

A hippogryph fell from the sky, and the World Eater Primarch returned to Zeon town with a full load of goods. He held a gold-plated business card in his arms, which was the business card of a bounty hunter.

After the war, Brenner persuaded Angron, who was planning to go up and kill. The bounty hunter said that not only would there be no benefit for them to join this war, it was very dangerous, and it would also lead to a series of problems later. Scar Weratmen are famous for being good at revenge. You don’t want to cause trouble to Earl Lane, right?

Brenner talked dryly for five minutes. Fortunately, Angron listened to the last words. Angron felt that it was not a problem before, but now he can rarely live the good life he wants because of his Causing trouble to Ryan recklessly is really not what he wants to see.

So Angron chose to take out a towel and rush forward with his face covered. With Brenna's stunned expression, he massacred the entire Storm Rat army, tore the two Storm Rats in half, and by the way, cut off the scum on the Storm Rat's body. Warlord Cavan's head was taken.

The former demon primarch, the Daemon Prince of Khorne, took advantage of the fact that the Rats were leaderless and fell into the chaos of fighting for the position of warlord. Angron used the blood of the Ratmen to draw a less than standard "U" shaped pattern, and then signaled Bounty hunters retreat.

After returning to Tyrell and receiving the bounty, Brenner kept his promise and gave Angron three hundred gold crowns as reward and handed Angron a business card of his own, on which he wrote where he could be in the future. After contacting Tyrell's strongest bounty hunter, the two parted ways.

"Where's Ryan? I brought some specialties from Tilea." Angron approached the winery with many gifts, but found that more than a hundred heavily armed Poseidon knights came near the winery, and Luo Jia was heading towards the winery. As these Poseidon knights peddled the drinks they made: "Ryan has a meeting inside because of something. Angron, would you like to try the drink I made? It's full of the taste of loyalty!"

It was a strangely colored drink made by Luo Jia using fruit juice, vegetables and wine. They were blood red, dark blue, dark green and pink purple, but judging from the expressions of the Poseidon Knights, it seemed to taste good.

"The taste of loyalty?" When Angron heard that Ryan had something to do, he stopped in his tracks and looked at the drink made by Luo Jia.

"The drink of the Black Legion was chosen by Abaddon himself! Drink it and you will become the Warmaster! Hey, April Fool's Day, just a joke, don't take it seriously." Luo Jia seemed quite proud of his work, he whispered Fu'er said: "I made four flavors, the skull of Khorne, the bird's head of Tzeentch, the soup of Nurgle, and the seeds of Slaanesh."

"It doesn't sound like a good choice." The relationship between Angron and Luo Jia was only established after the Great Rebellion. They were the kind of people who were in the same circle. After listening to Luo Jia's recommendation, Angron's face turned pale. So pretty.

"Just think you were cheated by me, give it a try, I guarantee you won't regret it." Luo Jia encouraged Angron: "It's definitely worth the money."

"Okay, then...the smell of Khorne's skull." Angron pointed at one.

There were bubbles in the blood-red turbid liquid. Luo Jia poured a full glass from the glass bottle: "Please."

Angron took the glass and drank it in one gulp.

hot! so spicy! The drink in his mouth was sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy. The extremely strong pungency and the taste of spirits made Anglang squint his eyes, but the taste of tomato juice and the unique spicy taste of vodka lingered in his mouth. The softness and smoothness made him let out a sigh of relief, and the stimulating taste of the drink rippled on his tongue and lips: "This tastes really good."

"Really? I added tomato juice, chili, pepper and vodka, and then added a little lemon and celery juice~" Luo Jia said to Angron very proudly: "It turns out that the effect is good."

"interesting."

There was a new wine sales meeting going on outside the winery. Inside the manor, Duke Bordero, Bodrick, was sitting opposite Ryan. The Poseidon Duke had a dark complexion. He picked up the wine glass and drank the full glass of red wine in one gulp: "I heard that you are also planning to go to Estalia, can you do me a favor by the way?"

Ryan did plan to go to Estalia recently, and Duke Bodrick learned the news at some point.

"The Poseidon Trident is an heirloom of your Duke Bordero's family. Why was it stolen?" Ryan asked doubtfully.

"A group of rogue knights dug up our family's tomb and stole the Trident of Poseidon that I placed in the tomb." Boderick, Duke of Bordeaux, said with hatred: "I have investigated clearly and found nothing. There is no doubt that the other party is the bandits of Estalia. The hatred between us has a long history. This is an organized and premeditated action."

Ryan began to listen carefully to Duke Bodrick's account of the grievances between the Bordeaux family and Estalia.

Estalia is a country bordered by Britannia to the north, Tilea to the east across the sea, and the Nicohara Desert to the south across the sea. This country is composed of seven autonomous city-states. It has never been unified. Its total area is the same as that of Britannia, its population is about five million, and its flag is red, yellow, and red with a white lion heraldic pattern printed on it.

The first contact between Britannia and Estalia was the famous "Red Flame Expedition" (also known as the Holy War of Araby). Almost more than five hundred years ago, the country of Araby located in the desert Araby completed the unification under the leadership of the famous Sultan King Jafar and invaded Estalia. This ancient human country was almost destroyed for a time. Araby's desert cavalry did not abide by the conventions between humans at all. Kill everyone on sight.

This attracted the attention and great indignation of the Empire and Britannia. The Emperor of the Empire and the Knight King of Britannia announced an alliance and joined forces with Tyrell to establish an expeditionary force composed of dozens of knights and tens of thousands of knights. , this expeditionary force not only liberated the entire mainland of Estalia, but also directly crossed the ocean and landed in Arabi. After more than ten years of arduous expedition, the expeditionary force seized an astonishing amount of gold from Arabi (filled with several Ten ships), and even cut off the head of King Jafar of Arabi, bringing huge wealth and endless glory back to the old world.

However, the Estalians who were saved were not very grateful. On the contrary, they were jealous of the huge wealth obtained by the Kingdom of Knights and the Empire in Arabi. Therefore, border friction and maritime disputes never stopped, due to the blocking of the Empire and Britannia. Facing the southward invasion of the Northern Chaos and being far away from the Greenskin harassment, Estalia developed smoothly and built a powerful fleet, known as the "Invincible Fleet", which began to covet the rich land of Britannia.

Due to the incident at the Tower of Dor and frequent attacks from the north by barbarians from Norsca and the Northern Wastes, the Estalians judged that Britannia's navy should be weak. So they planned to attack Bordeaux and first capture this rich port that made them salivate.

Fifty years ago, the "Invincible Armada" officially set out from Magritte, the most powerful country and recognized capital of Estalia, to attack Bordello. However, due to the ocean currents and chaotic sea wind, it took three days to make an unfavorable start. It took weeks to arrive in Bordello.

The ones who came out to challenge were Duke Bordero and his Poseidon Fleet. The unprepared Armada was fiercely attacked by the Poseidon Fleet, and their formation was in chaos.

During the fierce battle, Duke Bordeaux summoned the wrath of the sea god. Huge tides and waves engulfed the "Invincible Fleet" and stranded most of the ships. A large number of ships and supplies were captured by the knights, and the sailors and soldiers were captured. The Estalians suffered a complete defeat in this battle, with no more than thirty warships returning to Magritte, and a loss of more than 20,000 troops. The country's navy has since failed to recover.

This is the grudge between Duke Bordero's family and Estalia. After investigation, Duke Bordrick learned that these rogue knights had received instructions from the Estalia people and came to steal. Got the Poseidon Trident.

This matter originally had nothing to do with Ryan, but Duke Bodrick knew that Ryan was planning to go to Estalia recently, so he took the initiative to come to Ryan's territory and asked him to help with this matter.

"What can I do for you? My Duke?" Ryan nodded. He understood. The Earl crossed his arms. Obviously, Duke Bodrick could not have come specifically to teach him. Now it was time to negotiate terms.

"According to the investigation by my men, this group of rogue knights has established a stronghold in the forest near the Principality of Bilibali. However, I currently cannot know their specific location. I need you to help me investigate, and then Report the movements of these rogue knights to me." Duke Bodrick whispered: "Feedmund and I need your help, Ryan."

"But..." Ryan hesitated, and the Duke immediately raised his hand to listen to him first: "Lian, you know, Estalia is a country and Bilibali is an independent principality. If my army Driving directly into the territory of Estalia is equivalent to Britannia declaring war on the several city-states that make up Estalia!"

Ryan's face became serious. Indeed, sending a large number of troops into another country's territory without the permission of the lord is tantamount to declaring war: "So your plan is to ask me to deal with a group of rogue knights and recapture the Poseidon Trident? This is too much. Crazy."

"No, I won't be so harsh on you." Duke Bodrick shook his head: "But I hope to borrow your power, and I hope you can guide Fedmund more. His bravery and virtue are beyond doubt, but As my heir, he is still too young. You can teach him more. This is what I hope. As the lady's chosen champion and a model of chivalry, your words are more convincing than me, a father, on some things. force."

"I will allocate you a small team of the most elite knights, and you are responsible for taking them to find out the situation." Duke Bordeaux whispered: "I and the Poseidon Knights will wait on the high seas. Once you investigate, Regarding the whereabouts of the Trident of Poseidon, our army marched directly into Estalia to seize my family's artifact, and then immediately retreated before the country could react."

"Isn't this also a declaration of war?" Ryan complained.

"No, as long as I say hello, land in a short time, and retreat immediately after taking back the Poseidon Trident, the Estalians will not have the guts to declare war on me." Duke Bodrick was extremely confident in this: "Unless This invincible armada of Estalians wants to be destroyed again.”

Well, you have big fists and you speak. Ryan had no choice but to nod. Indeed, due to the special geographical location of Estalia, the country’s military strength is really not very good. After the destruction of the Armada, Estalia How could Asia's army be the opponent of the Brittanian knights?

"So what can I get?" When the time came to make terms, Ryan asked with a smile.

"Two thousand gold crowns and the friendship of our ducal family." Bodrick's blue eyes were full of sincerity: "And my support."

"I think this condition is too general." Ryan shook his head: "I do want to go to Estalia, but I think that Fedmund, as an excellent Holy Grail Knight, can solve the problem by himself..."

"My support includes, but is not limited to, your future attacks on Musilon and your stance on the king selection." Duke Bodrick began to add more weight.

"There are also shared trade routes. I need to share part of your family's trade routes with Arabi and Lustria. Of course, follow the rules." Ryan continued to increase the pressure. Sharing trade routes will open up the Ashes Army established by him and Fulgrim. Ocean trade, this is a trade road paved with gold.

"Okay." Duke Bodrick nodded.

"Then...it's a deal. I'll finish handling the matters in the territory and leave the day after tomorrow." Ryan nodded: "I also need to find a few people to go with me."

"My son Fedmund will be waiting for you at the Mannann dry dock in Bordero with fifty Poseidon knights to set out with you."

After negotiating the terms, Duke Bodrick left in a hurry.

"Lian, what are Bo Derek doing here?" Not long after Duke Bo Derek left, Sulia came in from the door, and the Countess walked over to Ryan and sat down.

"Well, I was going to Estalia to help out." Ryan nodded.

He himself is indeed going to Estalia after the spring plowing. This has nothing to do with the Duke of Bordeaux's family, but has something to do with Lilith, the fairy of the lake.

Lilith, the moon goddess of the high elves, once possessed three artifacts, each of which could determine the survival of a race.

The Crown of Lilith, this artifact was destroyed during the Witch King Malekith's attack on Ulthuan and was broken into many fragments. Teclis and the Magister Council are working hard to recollect the fragments and reforge them.

Lilith's Staff of the Moon, this staff is in the hands of the Supreme Mage Teclis of the Council of Magisters of the White Tower of Savrehos, a high elf.

The third item is the Sunfire Talisman, an artifact that resists the corruption of Chaos and can summon the fire of heaven to burn everything.

The Sunfire Talisman was lost during the reign of the Phoenix King "Reckless King" Morvel. Morvel gave it to his son, the elf prince Alavel, to go to sea. As a result, Alavel was defeated and killed, and the Sunfire Talisman disappeared on the sea.

And Ryan got the news that the Sunfire Talisman seemed to have been obtained by the merchants of Estalia and was brought back to Magritte as a sacred object of the war goddess Myrmidia. He immediately obtained it as the divinely chosen champion of the Lake Fairy. To get the oracle, that is to take back the Sunfire Amulet!

Lidya Su also knew that Ryan would definitely make this trip. The female knight just said with some complaints: "Bo Derek really knows how to find opportunities."

"It's not a big deal." Ryan shook his head. He took his wife's hand and said, "It's not a big deal this time. Just sit in charge of the territory. Your management is indispensable here."

"Who are you going to take with you?" Lidya Su asked the question she was most interested in.

"I plan to take Veronica and Olika with me, as well as Alfred." Ryan made a list in his mind. The number of people accompanying him this time should not be too many, and they should be elite enough. Veronica is elite. Able to investigate and participate in various social activities, Orica is proficient in interrogation and various dark magics, Alfred is decent enough, and the Templars can easily make people believe that they are here for fun, and the Church of Justice behind the Templars It will also make people from these southern countries feel afraid.

"Well, Ms. Teresa's wizard tower is in a critical period for acceptance, and she really doesn't have time to go with you." The female knight accepted Ryan's opinion, but she was just a little resentful: "Come back early..."

Emilia already has one, but as a wife, she still...

"You can set off with your people the day after tomorrow, but you have to come with me tonight. This is also the lady's oracle." Sulia's face turned red. She wanted an heir, very much!

"good!"
